The strongest winger

Chapter 101 Turning Problems Into Goals

*****
During the intermission, the starting 11 players from both sides returned to their own locker rooms, and the substitute players can see if they need to warm up according to their own needs, so as to be ready to play at any time.

Therefore, as soon as the first 11 players from both sides left the court, Aiello and David Silva came to the court.

The fans in the stands suddenly burst into cheers.

The Chinese journalists in the stands couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear at the moment, as if the fans were not appealing to Ai Luo, but to them.

click click click click...

With Ai Luo's long shot, the cheers from the stands came again.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO——
"Hey, I can't see—the influence is so great now."

"That must be okay!" Then he added, "I don't even look at who I am."

"So narcissistic!"

David Silva and Albiol said it in unison, and at the same time raised their middle fingers high.

home team locker room

After Ranieri entered the locker room, his face was rarely darkened. The starting 11 players in front of him lowered their heads tacitly. No one dared to say a word, for fear of offending him.

"Are you at the La Roma Radar stadium?"

Ranieri said.

"..."

No one answered.

At this moment, the locker room of the home team was so quiet that even their own breathing could be clearly heard.

"I asked you if you are at the La Roma radar stadium now? No one answered me??"

Ranieri repeated the previous question again.

"..."

Still no one answered.

1 minutes
2 minutes

5 minutes

"Not bad! I didn't even say that I was leading in an away game at home, and I didn't even dare to answer my questions! Okay! Since you don't talk, then who doesn't want to play, say it! I'll replace him right away!!"

Ranieri said angrily.

"If the rules allow, I must replace all eleven of you!"

Still no one spoke.

The oppressive atmosphere immediately filled the entire locker room of the home team.

At this moment, the assistant coach Benetti didn't know why, and he was breaking out in a cold sweat. The locker room was air-conditioned!
After a while, Ranieri seemed to have vented enough, and his voice gradually became gentler, "Ruben, you are the captain—what do you think of the team's performance in the first half?"

Baraja was stunned subconsciously, but he reacted quickly, "The teammates worked hard in the first half, but they didn't grasp the opportunity, otherwise we would have equalized or overtaken."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the captain directly pointed the finger at the Italian striker Corradi!
Everyone didn't like the two Italian forwards, Divaio and Corradi, who were injured before. Not to mention spending a lot of budget on the club, but after coming to the team, they couldn't score goals.

"Humph!"

Corradi snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Ranieri saw everything in front of him, but he couldn't help it. He found that he was more and more in control of this group of players, and sighed, "Let's talk about the way of playing in the second half!"

In fact, in the final analysis, the biggest problem of this team is not the lack of strength, but the players' hunger for honor. Most of the main players won last year's La Liga and UEFA Cup double championships under the leadership of Benitez. The pursuit of honor is no longer so strong. This is the biggest problem!
And Ranieri, who only took over the team last summer, did not instill a fresh blood into the team, so that the team maintains a sense of hunger for honor!

At the same time, the visiting team's locker room is particularly harmonious.

"Hey! Congratulations David!!"

"David! Remember to treat your guests to dinner tomorrow!!"

"If you run the order, I won't pass the ball to you!!"

···
Such jokes made the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room more harmonious.

This season, Zaragoza can be said to have no desires. There is no hope of relegation and promotion to European competitions is nowhere in sight. That's why they played so relaxed in this game, leading the home team Valencia.

******
The 15 minutes of intermission passed quickly.

Under the urging of the assistant referee, the starting players of both sides walked out of their respective locker rooms.

"Beep-"

With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game officially began!
After the start of the second half, Corradi's condition was obviously worse than that of the first half. Obviously, he was worried about the captain's attack during the halftime break, and he failed to handle the pass and reception several times.

Gradually, teammates don't pass the ball to him very much.

Even if he stood out from the crowd and raised his hand to ask for the ball, none of his teammates passed the ball to him. Some keen reporters immediately noticed this change on the field.

"Could it be that Italian striker Corradi has completely lost his status in the locker room?"

Such thoughts kept popping up in the minds of the major reporters.

Time passed quickly, but the home team Valencia did not equalize the score with the passage of time. If it weren't for Canizares' several superb performances, it is estimated that the score would have been stretched long ago.

"Ai, David, go warm up!"

Ranieri looked at the time, just 10 minutes into the second half, turned his head to look at the bench, and shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two answered quickly, for fear that the head coach would regret it if he took half a beat.

David Silva staggered because he was too hasty, and almost fell a dog to eat shit.

"Haha, David—you don't want to play, do you?"

Albiol joked.

This scene of David Silva also made Ranieri couldn't help laughing, and his eyes looking sideways at the two became kind.

******
In the No.15 minute of the second half, which is the No.60 minute of the whole game, Ai Luo stood on the sideline of the center circle waiting for the dead ball, and then came off the bench.

He kicked hard on the turf a few times.

Sufficient power, good condition!
At this moment, after Albelda's long shot went over the crossbar, the referee whistled and pointed his finger at the sideline of the center circle.

Valencia made substitution adjustments.

The fourth assistant referee held up the electronic card.

On the 9th and on the 28th.

The host and fans in the stands immediately burst into cheers like a tsunami, and it felt like they were lingering for three days.

When the Italian Corradi saw that he was replaced, he was obviously very unhappy. He ran to the substitution place slowly, without even doing the most basic high-five etiquette before leaving the field.

Shhhhhhhhhh-
His action immediately caused a burst of displeasure among the fans of the home team in the East Stand.

It doesn't matter if you can't score goals on the field, and you don't high-five when you end the field. Encourage our magical boy?This is unforgivable under any circumstances!

Ai Luo, who was standing on the sidelines waiting to play, was extremely embarrassed. He stretched out his right palm and stood there in a daze. It was not until the fourth assistant referee pushed him that he realized it and ran to the field.

While slowly walking towards his position, out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught sight of the time on the screen in the North Stand, which was 60 minutes and 45 seconds.

I rely on!The old man is a strict German, right?It's really no more, no less, three 10 minutes!
Ai Luo replaced the position of the center Corradi, so his job is to take over the work of Corradi, to help the team break through the city and score goals.

However, a problem arises.

He was not born to play as a center forward. Every time the midfielder gave him a pass, he would habitually take him to the sideline. This confused Valencia's formation and took Vicente's position several times.

"Ai - your position is in the middle!"

After Ai Luo took his place for the third time, Vicente finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Hey--I'm used to it, I'm sorry--"

Ai Luo replied with a smile, while running to his position in the middle.

Ranieri raised his eyebrows on the sidelines, "Could it be that Ai is really not a center forward?"

Ranieri, who originally suspected that Ai Luo was not a center forward, was completely sure after a while that he was no longer a center forward. The most basic quality of a center forward --- support, could not do well.

So, he turned his head and shouted to Ferrer on the bench, "Mista, go warm up." And he turned his attention to the game field again.

In the 608th minute of the game, Albelda made a long pass to launch a counterattack. Vicente on the left rushed to catch up.

Someone came to the middle, and Ai Luo naturally pulled to the right where Aimar was before, but now the problem is coming again?There was no Valencia player at the front of Zaragoza's penalty area, which made Aimar, who was catching the ball and preparing to organize the attack, add to the chaos!
"Ai - hurry back to your position, in the middle!!!"

Ranieri really has no choice but to give up the key position in the middle, how difficult is it to play?So I had to yell at Ai Luo.

At the same time, after receiving the ball from Vicente, Aimar first used the reasonable position of his body to block Couatero behind him, and then swiped his dexterous body to the left like a loach from the left of Couatero.

After hearing the old man's yell, Ai Luo decisively abandoned the neutral position on the right, and quickly approached the middle. At this time, Aimar just passed Cuatro, and his eyes looked at him very spiritually.

understand
After smearing Couatero, Aimar raised his head to watch the situation in the frontcourt, his eyes lit up!The foot was unambiguous at all, the arch of the right foot pushed hard towards the middle and lower part of the football, and the ball obediently rolled over quickly according to the route he had observed before.

At the same time, Ai Luo suddenly accelerated diagonally, leaving Carney and Milito behind.

WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO——
The host fans near Zaragoza's goal immediately stood up and cheered.

After Movila saw Aimar easily brushing past Cuatro, he rushed forward to continue defending, but he didn't expect the opponent to pass the ball!Subconsciously, his body pressed down violently, and he was about to make a difficult ground tackle! !
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA——
The host in the stands cheered again for the fans, because Movila didn't tackle the ball!

Aimar made a penetrating through pass!

The football slipped past Movila's feet, which Zaragoza's defenders did not expect. The moment he fell to the ground to tackle the ball, Carney and Milito, who were following Aiello, subconsciously paused. After realizing that the football had leaked over, it was too late to accelerate.

Zaragoza goalkeeper Garcia is still foolishly raising his hand towards the assistant referee to signal the opposing striker to be offside.

Nice through ball and movement!
Immediately after receiving the football, Ai Luo saw that the opponent's goalkeeper had come to the penalty spot. He could only use one move to deal with such a goalkeeper.

Rubbing the bottom of the football with your toes
Then, the ball obediently flew high and high, flew over Garcia's raised right arm, fell on the goal line, and flew into the embrace of the net due to inertia.
