World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 559
The loss to the old rival Aufsberg put the pressure on Red Bull Salzburg.

In the Austrian League and the Champions League, they have lost three consecutive rounds, and then they have to face the highlight of the Champions League, which is probably the most important game of the season, at home against Maritimo.

If they win this game, the future will be bright, and no one will care about the previous three rounds of invincibility; but once they lose, or even a draw, they will push the team into the abyss.

Therefore, Ma Xi and his disciples were extremely nervous, even anxious, which can be seen from the dark circles on Ma Xi's face.

On the other hand, their opponents, Maritimo, have won consecutive battles and their morale is high. Facing the next focus battle, their mentality is very relaxed.

Under the ebb and flow, the balance of victory and defeat has begun to tilt slightly.

On the match day, the Red Bull Arena, which can accommodate 31000 spectators, was full of seats.

In the stands, there is a special group of spectators who are particularly conspicuous. They are coach Aufsberg and his players who just defeated the home team.

Under Yoshikawa Hidehito's insistence, the whole team made a special trip to Salzburg to watch this battle of focus.

"Gao Yuanjun, let me witness with my own eyes what your team can do, don't let me down!"

Yoshikawa Hidetoshi's gaze was firmly fixed on Gao Yuan, the coach of the visiting team, through the lenses of the gold-rimmed glasses.

This game is no longer an encounter. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting in Funchal, the two sides have a full understanding of each other. I know your strengths and weaknesses, and you know my depth.

This further tests the formation skills of the coaches of both sides and the ability to discover and solve problems.

But this is not destined to be a fair contest, because the result of the previous game determines the mentality and strategy of both sides.

Gaoyuan Maritimo, because of the victory in the previous game, this game only needs to play defensively and counterattack comfortably.

The Salzburg Red Bull can only play offensive football, which they are not good at.

This is Maritimo's favorite rhythm.

In the first 20 minutes, they withstood the opponent's mad attack.It also showed the world how strong and durable its steel defense line is.

Twenty minutes later, when the Salzburg Red Bull's physical fitness critical point was reached, Maritimo showed his minions.

In the 23rd minute, he played a counterattack full of routines.

Full-back Antonio steals the ball and passes it to Joao in the middle. Joao immediately divides the ball and moves to Liu Yun on the other side.

The fast horse Liu Yun gave full play to his speed advantage, threw off his arms and ran all the way, leaving the opponent's defender far behind, and made a pass from the bottom.

Maritimo's team members have already become a blockbuster without making a sound, like an iron fist, which has been shrinking, and now suddenly strikes out, hitting the opponent dizzy and caught off guard.

The speed of the collective forward pressure this time was very fast, and the opponents who were at the critical point of physical fitness and out of breath were left behind. In the penalty area, they actually formed a situation where more players played less.

Dzeko overwhelmed the opponent's central defender and grabbed the ball from the front, but instead of directly attacking the goal, he headed the ball back and landed in front of Wang Zi. Wang Zi stopped the ball with his chest and seemed to shoot directly, but suddenly crossed the ball and hit Qiao La's feet on the other side.

The ball goes from the left, to the front point of the penalty area, then to the center, and then to the back point.False and real, the opponent's pass was dizzy, but the shooting angle of the ball became smaller and smaller, and when it came to Jorah, he could only hit a close corner.

"It's still being passed on, don't you dare to shoot? It seems that Cleninson's deterrence is full!" the commentator shouted.

There was also a sneer at the corner of Cleninson's mouth, and he moved his body completely to the near corner of the goal, blocking it tightly without leaving any gaps.

This ball, Maritimo has no chance!
However, Chora once again exceeded everyone's expectations. Seeing that he was only 2 or 3 meters away from the goal, he didn't shoot, but suddenly returned the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

This time, even Cleninson was shaken. I didn't expect the other party to be so patient, and he was still passing the message even at the door!
Every time the ball is passed, the goalkeeper has to make another reaction. Now Cleninson goes to save it, but it is too late. Wang Zi in the middle grabs a tackle and shoots the ball to the other side of the goal.

In the away game, Maritimo took the lead with amazing patience!

This is the strategy that Maritimo formulated after the first battle. Since you Cleninson have good skills and quick first reaction, then I will pass a few more kicks in front of the goal and make repeated adjustments to make you confused.

No matter how cunning a fox is, he can't beat a hunter, and no goalkeeper can block all goals.

Finally, relying on patient teamwork, Maritimo knocked Cleninsen's ten fingers off again!
The visiting team, which took the lead, played more easily and built a multi-layered three-dimensional defense line that became tighter and tighter.The Red Bulls of Salzburg were cornered. If this ball cannot break through the goal guarded by Niu Gensheng, they will say goodbye to the Champions League!

"You should say goodbye loudly, even if there are tears shed, forget about this heartbreaking and entangled love..."

Gao Yuan on the coaching bench was in a good mood, and even hummed Zhang Yu's "Unrequited Love for a Flower".

The team's excellent competitive state and solid defense made him feel at ease, and he had a vague feeling that if he continued to play like this, the team would score goals sooner or later!

Facing such an excellent "steel gate" like Cleninson, if you don't enter, you will be fine, if you want to enter, it will definitely be a beautiful break!

Gao Yuan is like a child waiting for gifts at Christmas, looking forward to the surprises he will receive next.

As the game progressed, the Salzburg Red Bull, who had been unable to start the game, became more and more anxious.

The overall formation was pushed very high without knowing it, and even the goalkeeper Cleninson forgot his position, standing more and more forward, farther and farther away from the goal.

Such a huge gap is like a pure white canvas, waiting for the opponent to splash ink and paint the most beautiful picture.

In the 59th minute of the game, Zhou Yong stole Huang Xican's breakthrough with a step.

Then he passed forward immediately and hit Wang Zi near the center arc.

Great opportunity to switch from defense to offense!

Maritimo's players rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and there were players from the left, center and right to respond.

The home team's defensive players were in a panic, and the entire defensive formation was extremely chaotic.

Wang Zi raised his eyes to observe for a while, then suddenly swung his arms and legs, and lobbed with his feet!
At this moment, he was 60 meters away from the goal, but he kicked the goal!

"What is he going to do? Could it be..."

Before the commentator finished speaking, the ball drew a parabola and flew straight to the goal!

And Cleninson was too far away from the goal. Although he tried his best to retreat, the angle of the ball was too tricky. Before Cleninson was in place, he slammed the crossbar and flew into the net!
Wang Zi scored a Beckham-style ultra-long-range lob!
The Red Bull Stadium is boiling!Even the most die-hard Red Bull fans had to marvel at such a brilliant goal.

The commentator was silent for two seconds, and then shouted "GOA~~~~~~~L" with the greatest strength in his life

The Fengshen and handsome Wang Zi reproduced Bei Shuai's famous work back then!
This goal has locked the best goal of this round of the Champions League, and it will definitely rank first in the top ten football goals of this week. It even hopes to compete for this year's Puskas Award!
Maybe many years later, people will still remember this goal and become a mark of history!

After the game, a columnist from the well-known football media "442" magazine commented: "With the ball in the net, Wang Zi, a young genius from China, will see his net worth increase by 2000 million yuan, while the poor goalkeeper Cleninsen will act as a backdrop, and his net worth will drop by 2000 million yuan. All the rich clubs that have expressed a strong interest in him will have a big question mark in their hearts. Is this young Swedish player really that good?"

In the game, after conceding the ball, Cleninsen seemed to be beaten by this ultra-long-range goal, and he was lifeless in the next game, and his performance was also the epitome of the entire Salzburg Red Bull.

The discouraged Red Bull no longer had the confidence and courage to continue attacking, so they had to retreat honestly to avoid losing another goal.

It is appropriate to chase the poor with leftover courage. Gao Yuan's team has a strong ability to read the game. After discovering that the opponent's morale is slackened, they showed the spirit of beating the dog in the water and sounded the clarion call to march.

In the 82nd minute, Maritimo, who was more and more courageous in the Vietnam War, made another victory, and Qusay took advantage of the corner kick to score with a header.

At this time, Cleninson was stunned, and he no longer had the spirit of a genius goalkeeper before.

At the end of the game, Maritimo defeated the Salzburg Red Bull with 3 goals in the away game.

"Gao Yuan-jun, I'm not mistaken, you really left me farther and farther away. Come on, Gao Yuan-jun, to achieve greater honor! Open up our high frontier for Asian coaches!"

In the stands, Yoshikawa Hidetoshi's eyes were burning, his spirit was full of excitement and longing!
