Chapter 557 The Last Attack and Defense
At the last moment of the game, Dzeko and Ronaldo, who were extremely calm, finally played the core role of superstars and teamed up to break through the goal guarded by Cleninson.

Ray Ives Stadium instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

At the VIP seat, Mendes was applauding, and his mouth was still talking: "Well, I'm not wrong! Cleninsen is nothing more than that, and he will still be scored! The current score, Maritimo 1:0 Red Bull Salzburg! The number of goals conceded by the goalkeeper, Niu Gensheng 0:1 Cleninsen! Haha"

Barnett snorted coldly, "The reason why Niu Gensheng didn't concede the ball is because the Red Bull Salzburg did not pose enough threat to him! If faced with the same test, I don't think Cleninson would lose to that Chinese! Also, Cleninsen has already done his best to concede the ball just now, and it is not his responsibility to concede the ball! Besides, this goal was scored through a pass dispatch, so far no one has directly broken Cleninson's ten-finger barrier one-on-one!"

Mendes sneered: "The goalkeeper is responsible for all the conceded goals! Who told him not to save the ball, just like as long as he loses, the coach must take responsibility. There is no way, who put him in a position of blame. Also, if there is one, there will be two. The game is not over yet, so don't draw conclusions too early!"

Despite what Mendes said, the game time is running out.

Counting injury time, there are only 4 or 5 minutes left.

After conceding the ball, Red Bull Salzburg had no way out and could only choose to attack across the board, while Maritimo retreated and fought back comfortably.

There is a saying that if one man works hard, ten thousand men should not do it.

The strength of Red Bull Salzburg is not much worse than that of Maritimo. Now they are determined to attack with their lives, and they have indeed created some threats.

In particular, coach Ma Xi saw that there was no hope for a counterattack, so he waved the flag and replaced Masano Okukawa with a 1-meter high center forward. He also transferred captain Ulmer from the back line to form a "three-high" combination in the penalty area with the original center Daka.

Coupled with two wingers Huang Xican and Sekou Koita, at the last moment of the game, Red Bull Salzburg put out 5 strikers at once!
Their formation changed to 3-2-5!It has the style of the old-school European football formation in the ancient times of football.

The Austrians are originally of the same origin as the Germans. They are tall and strong, and they are good at heading.Their change to the three-lane style of play really made Maritimo flustered for a while.

The ball doesn't go off the ground anymore, just hit a long pass and hit it hard, bullying you are not as tall as me, and jumping shorter than me!
There is a saying, the avenue is as simple as possible.Sometimes, the simpler the routine, the more effective it is.

The Austrian's high-altitude bombing made Maritimo suffer. The ball flew around in the penalty area without landing. Wen Jun and Cousai were in a hurry.

Antonio wanted to come over to help, but there was still Sekou Coita who had to be "taken care of" all the time and couldn't get away at all. The other full-back Cassettino not only had to be careful of Huang Xican, but his physical condition was not very outstanding. It was difficult to grab a header in front of the tall Austrian.

Gao Yuan had no choice but to let the tall Joao retreat to the back line to grab the header together.

In this way, 10 people were crowded on the defense line, and there were 6 big and tall guys standing in the penalty area alone!

There are so many elders that it is difficult to breathe.

The Salzburg Red Bull played very resolutely, just smashing the ball from the sky with all its strength!Throwing a long pass is a job that depends on the sky. Although most of them are cleared, once one is snatched by the attacker, it will be a big trouble.

The painstaking efforts paid off, watching the game enter the third minute of stoppage time, the unremitting efforts of Red Bull Salzburg finally created a threat.

It was still a long pass from the backcourt. This time, Captain Ulmer rushed ahead of Wen Jun, nodded the ball in front of the penalty area, and the ball flew to the middle of the penalty area. The new high center forward and Qusay competed for position.

This omission stunned everyone, especially the goalkeeper Niu Gensheng. He had already secured his position and was waiting for the opponent's header to hit the goal. Who would have thought that it was a false move!
The ball was hit by mistake, and it reached the back point which was only one step away from the goal!

Dhaka, with a keen sense of smell, suddenly started and got rid of Joao, who was a non-full-time defender.One leaned over and dived, headed towards the ball!
This is a shot that is close at hand, and it may score a goal with a light touch, let alone a torpedo-style dive bombing!Dhaka's head almost went in the door!

More than half of the ball crossed the goal line.

"It's over!" This is the common thought in the hearts of all Maritimo supporters.

But Niu Gensheng didn't think so, he swooped sideways with incredible reaction speed and astonishing agility!His big hand touched the ball on the goal line, and the other end of the ball was Dhaka's head!

Dhaka's head, Niu Gensheng's hand, and the ball in the middle, there was a momentary stagnation and a power struggle above the goal line. After all, Niu Gensheng was stronger and grabbed the ball abruptly.

Dhaka and Niu Gensheng landed at the same time, and the ball was caught in Niu Gensheng's hands without crossing the goal line.

Did the ball... go in or not?
The referee hesitated for a moment and did not make a penalty immediately. The players of Red Bull Salzburg surrounded the referee one after another, claiming that the ball had crossed the goal line and the opponent's goalkeeper fished it out of the goal!
Of course Maritimo's players didn't do it, they also surrounded them, saying that the opponent was talking nonsense and that they hadn't scored at all.

The two sides quarreled and quarreled, and the unsolved case at the goal line near the end was really too critical.

The fans in the stands were also noisy, with all kinds of arguments noisy.

In the chaos, only a very few players with extremely calm minds realized that the game had not been stopped.

"Fast serve!" Dzeko and Ronaldo yelled to Niu Gensheng as they ran forward.

I don't know whether Niu Gensheng heard the shouts of his teammates amidst the noise, or he saw his teammates advancing forward in the chaotic crowd, or he realized that the game was not over yet because of his blessing.

In short, he got up with a grunt, took a few steps forward, stepped forward and twisted his waist, and threw the ball violently.

People were surprised to find that the ball flew over the quarreling crowd and flew straight to the Red Bull Salzburg half.

This ball seemed to be farther than the one Cleninson threw to Huang Xican in the first half!
It turns out that Niu Gensheng also has a unicorn arm!

The players who were arguing on the field realized that the game had not yet been called off, and hurriedly chased after the ball. A few inexperienced young players were still standing around the referee in a daze.

But it's too late to go after it now!
The ball fell and Dzeko received the ball. At this time, the opponent only had Christensen as a defender in the backcourt!
He can only gamble on defense, hoping to slow down Dzeko's footsteps, even if he gets a red card for a foul, he can't let him move forward!
After all, the unsolved case of the gate line just now has not yet been settled, and the eagle eye technology of the gate line may be counted!But if you lose another goal, it will be completely useless!
But Dzeko, who was extremely calm, never thought of getting entangled with the opponent. Seeing that the opponent was about to pounce, he calmly kicked the ball to the front of the other side of the court.

There is no one defending, but there is an offensive player rushing forward desperately!
This person is J Luo!
These two calm old goblins move in a very hierarchical position, and they are very open from the left to the right!

Cleninson wanted to abandon the door and attack, but took two steps forward and backed away.

It is impossible for me to get the ball before Ronaldo. If I am halfway out and the opponent hits the goal directly, it will be a half-shot!No matter how awesome I am, I can only look at the ball and sigh!
The best choice now is to wait in front of the goal for the opponent to come over, to see the opponent's dribbling pace and shooting action, and then make a save.With his own goal line saving skills, there is still a chance!

Ronaldo received the ball and rushed towards the penalty area. Although the pursuers behind him ran wildly, it was impossible to catch up with him.

This one-on-one will be a one-on-one fight between yourself and the opponent's goalkeeper!
Ronaldo's dribbling speed is not fast, he is unusually calm, observing and thinking while dribbling, it seems that time has slowed down.

At this moment, the whole world is staring at Ronaldo, guessing how he will handle the ball?Is it safe to play as close to the goal as possible?Or try to dribble past the goalkeeper and hit the empty goal?Or is it to avoid a one-on-one duel with an opponent who has divine help, and wait for the support of his teammates?

However, Ronaldo made an unexpected choice. He took the ball to the front of the penalty area, slightly to the right, and suddenly raised his bow and arrow, and shot!

He didn't even enter the penalty area, so he chose a long shot!
It was only then that people discovered that the place where he shot was exactly the area where Ronaldo was best at!
However, no matter how good you are at long-range shooting, the closer you are to the goal, the higher the success rate, right?Although many master players claim to shoot free kicks as penalties, after all, no one has a higher success rate of free kicks outside the penalty area than penalty kicks in the penalty area!
Gao Yuan was also taken aback. In the blink of an eye, he complained a little to Ronaldo, why he was in such a hurry, but then he realized that Ronaldo is the calmest now!In other words, in an extremely calm state, Ronaldo believes that the success rate of shooting in this area is higher!
Ronaldo's choice was also beyond Cleninson's expectations, but he also had a little bit of joy, thinking that the other party was too hasty!

What surprised him even more was that the ball was not a powerful volley, but an arc drawn from the inside of his foot, heading straight to the dead corner of the goal.

Cleninson didn't understand why the opponent chose this way. This shooting method was slow and weak, and it was much less threatening to the goal than a direct volley.

However, without allowing him to think about it, the ball had already flown in front of the goal, and he hurriedly flew sideways.

Although the ball had a large arc and aimed at the dead corner of the goal, Cleninson was tall and long, with good bounce, so he still touched the ball with his hand.

He wanted to be safe and lifted the ball out of the crossbar, but just as his hand touched the ball, the ball didn't feel any force, and suddenly jumped forward!
how come? ? ? ! ! !

Cleninson, who was flying in mid-air, couldn't believe it, his mind went blank. The ball should be thrown out firmly, how could it jump forward?
Cleninson fell to the goal line under the force of gravity, and the forward ball spun and flew into the net!

Deafening cheers erupted from the stands!
The ball is in!
Cleninson looked back in disbelief, and saw the ball spinning rapidly in the net, and after falling on the turf, it still jumped forward quickly.Finally, it slowly ran out of kinetic energy before stopping.

The ball stopped spinning, and Cleninson figured it out!
The reason why the ball will jump forward at the moment of contact is because when Ronaldo is shooting, the inner side of his foot is pulled up very fast, and the ball has a strong rotation!
As for this weird goal, the Chinese commentator who is familiar with table tennis has a more incisive analysis:
"J Ronaldo used the inside of his foot to pull out a looping ball! The ball formed a topspin under the strong rotation, and Cleninson rubbed the ball as if it flew out in front! From this point of view, Ronaldo must be a good table tennis player! Judging from the quality of this topspin ball, even in China, it is at the champion level of the community! I don’t know if there is any credit for the Chinese coach Gao Yuan!"

The logic is obvious, Chinese football is not good, but Chinese table tennis is invincible!

Anyway, the ball went in!The score became 2:0!

The Salzburg Red Bull players surrounded the referee and claimed that the goal was invalid!

Because Dhaka's shot had already been scored before, everything behind should not have happened. The score should be 1:1, not 2:0!

Just when the referee was having a headache, the backup of the video assistant referee came.

Tell the referee through the earphones that after comparing the Hawkeye technology on the goal line, Daang's shot, the ball did not cross the goal line as a whole, and the goal is valid!

The referee suddenly gained confidence, blew the whistle, and resolutely indicated that the penalty was correct, and Maritimo's goal was valid.

Immediately, the Salzburg Red Bull players wilted down, but in stark contrast, the Leiweisi Stadium boiled again, turning into a sea of ​​joy!

Mendes in the VIP seat jumped up excitedly and yelled at Barnett: ""Who said no one can break through Cleninson's gate directly!Who says Niu Gensheng is worse than Cleninson?This wave of offense and defense proves who is the best goalkeeper!For the number of goals conceded, Niu Gensheng 0, Cleninson 2! "

Excited like a young man who knocked on the Y, how could he have the slightest shadow of a football predator!
Barnett was dejected. Could it be that he was really wrong and that Niu Gensheng was the better one? !

And in Austria, at the Aufsberg training base.

The players were also stunned by the ups and downs of the game at the last moment on TV.

"It's 2:0 so soon..."

"Two goals behind, Red Bull Salzburg can't recover!"

"The second conceded goal turned out to be a direct kill of Cleninson, as expected of Ronaldo!"

"The difference between the two goals will have an impact on the morale of the next game!"

And Yoshikawa Hidehito was silent for a long time.

"Gao Yuan-jun, you won again! The gap between me and you seems to have not narrowed, but widened... How did you do it?!"

This goal completely dispelled Red Bull Salzburg's counterattack arrogance, and even Cleninsen, who was invincible in front of the goal before, languished a lot.

Soon, the game ended and the score was fixed at 2:0!
