Mister Legend

Chapter 415 Victory over Red Bull
During the intermission, Li Mudi was not dazzled by the excellent situation of the two-goal lead, but repeatedly asked the players to tighten their nerves and not to make low-level mistakes that would easily give the opponent a chance to counterattack.

Since the two teams are not familiar with each other, and there has never been a formal match record before, the Turin coach can only use the two knockout rounds against Real Sociedad and Dortmund as a reference to resolutely prevent the visiting team's striker from getting a full start. The possibility of quickly hitting the restricted area of ​​​​the side.

Therefore, after another rematch, the home team still did not take advantage of the good situation to continue to suppress, but placed the three lines in a relatively conservative position, not eager to score more goals, and strictly implemented the head coach's arrangement "Safety First" policy.On the other hand, the Salzburg Red Bulls were also frightened by the high-efficiency offensive of the Turin team. After suffering a loss at the end of the first half, they did not dare to invest more troops in the offensive, which made the scene deadlocked for a while. Among them, there were no bright spots in more than ten minutes.

However, the score of 2-0 is quite subtle. It does not make the trailing side full of hope like 1-0, nor does it directly kill the suspense of the game like 3-0 (of course, after a week, the score also changed. It is not safe), but it is full of variables.For the leading home team, 2-0 is just the bottom line they can accept, but they will definitely not be very satisfied; while the visiting team will feel a series of unrest, the gap between the two goals does not seem to be big, but If you want to complete the reversal, you must score at least two goals in the second round and not lose the ball. The difficulty is actually very large.Moreover, UEFA matches also recognize away goals in overtime, so even if the total score is equalized in regular time, it cannot be taken lightly, because the opponent can take a huge advantage by scoring only one goal.

So generally speaking, compared to the first-round home team, the lagging visiting team will still be more reluctant to accept a 2-0 score.So when the game entered an hour later, Marco Rose still couldn't hold back, and instructed Salzburg to strengthen the assists on the two sides, trying to widen the defensive formation of the Turin team. Our attack in the middle creates space.

In the second minute of No.60, the visiting team's central midfielder Schrager, whose position was higher than at the beginning, suddenly kicked and slammed the goal about 35 meters away from the home team's goal after receiving a pass from his teammate from the wing.Although it was still a lot higher than the crossbar in the end, this long-range shot is full of power and the choice of angle is not bad. The 20-year-old boy who just became an Austrian international a few days ago has shown that he really has the potential to grow into a star. Potential, let everyone shine.

After 1 minute, Benassi's pass error gave the opponent a chance to make a comeback.The visiting team played an excellent teamwork this time. After the three players passed each other consecutively, the striker Dabble, who was located outside the arc of the penalty area, caught the attention of the Turin defense line and knocked the ball across to his left.The left-back Ulmer, who suddenly advanced forward, did not stop the ball and shot directly at the far corner of the goal. Although the angle of this sticky cut is not tricky, it is extremely fast.Fortunately, Casey reacted in time, intercepted the ball with a side throw on the ground, and then quickly made a second reaction, catching up with Gulbranson who came up and tried to make a supplementary shot, and received the ball into his arms.

The Salzburg Red Bull players, who gradually started to play on the offensive end, relaxed a little bit mentally, and were caught by the keen home team. No. 605 minutes, the visiting team, which has almost all possession of the ball during this period of time, made an inversion in the midfield, pulling the opponent's defensive formation and looking for an opportunity.But the only three Turin offensive players who stayed near the midfield circle suddenly resorted to a siege tactic, which caught the opponent by surprise.

With the cooperation of Immobile, Benassi broke the ball from the visiting team's Mali midfielder Hajdala. The former immediately dribbled the ball forward at high speed, while the latter slanted forward to the right and took away a player who was originally planning to replace him. Defensive central defender.When Benassi came to the top of the arc of the visiting team's penalty area, this dangerous area formed a three-on-three situation, but Hajdala, who was chasing back, obviously could not interfere with the home team's attack in the shortest time.

Since Cialeta Carl has been pulled to the right by Immobile's running position, when the only other central defender Lamarjo sees the Turin midfielder making a kick to attack the goal, he immediately He had no choice but to step forward to block him, but in the end he was tricked into losing his underpants.After Benassi flicked a shot and pushed the ball to his left, Belotti, who was always ready to catch the ball, sent a push shot directly with the arch of his right foot, and the ball hit the goalkeeper who had already hit the small penalty area line Walker's right calf bounced off his crotch into the net and the score became 3-0.

This goal basically destroyed the last trace of fluke in Salzburg. In order to retain the suspense of the second round of the game when they return to home a week later, they must score at least one goal, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the reversal. too big.So while the home team players and fans in the Olympic Stadium were still celebrating, Marco Rose signaled with a livid face to several substitute players to step up their warm-up progress, and shortly after the re-kick-off, he changed in one breath. Got two people.

The young Austrian midfielder Wolff replaced Hajdala who had just made a fatal mistake. Another player who played was an Asian face. Born in 1995, Japanese striker Takumi Minano replaced today. Gulbranson, who was in a mediocre state, made the commentators and guests of the various live broadcast parties of the Celestial Dynasty who were broadcasting the game at this time have mixed feelings.

Needless to say, the situation of Chinese players studying abroad is well known to everyone. Although it is not annihilated, it is basically almost gone.Zhang Yuning, who was the most promising before, has completely sunk in Germany. Since being introduced by the Premier League team West Bromwich Albion at an inexplicable 720 million euros last summer and directly sub-loaned to Werder Bremen of the Bundesliga, Zhang Yuning, who is regarded as The young man who is the hopeful star of the future striker of the national football team has not been able to play in even one official club competition. It can be said that he wasted a lot of growth time.As for young players such as Wei Shihao, they have already chosen to return to China for development, and there is almost no possibility of entering European football again.

But looking back at our neighbors, they have continuously expanded their living circles in the world's top football circles in the past 20 years, not to mention the star players who have played and performed well in the five major leagues in Serie A, Bundesliga and Premier League. Almost all the European leagues ranked after the top five countries have players from Japanese countries.In the Austrian team of Red Bull Salzburg alone, there are two players. In addition to Minano Takumi, there is also a kimchi country striker Huang Xican born in 1996.What's even more frightening is that these two people's status in the team is not low. Although they can't shake the position of the two main players, each of them can get a lot of playing time.

As of the start of this game, Takumi Minano has played 35 times this season, contributing ten goals and nine assists; and the younger Huang Xican also has 30 appearances, scoring Twelve goals and three assists.Considering that they are only the team's rotation players and have a lot of time to play non-center roles, I have to admit that the performance of these two young people is indeed very good, far surpassing their peers in China.

Turning your gaze back to the playing field, the addition of the two new players made the attacking energy of the visiting team burst out instantly.Especially Takumi Minamino, who is only 1.7 meters tall, showed an amazing golf quotient, running back and forth between the Torino defense line, creating a certain amount of interference for the experienced Ranocchia and others.

No. In the 701st minute, Wolff distributed the ball to Schmid on the right front on the midfield line, and then accelerated forward as if he was going to hit the wall with his teammates, which attracted a lot of attention from the home team players.After Schmid got the ball, he made a fake through pass, and then saw the space in the front of the penalty area, and passed a precise pass to Takumi Minamino who had just played.The latter resisted Kanneman's squeeze behind him, and cleverly knocked with his heel, and the ball came to Dabble's feet in the top of the arc.

Facing the double-teaming of Ranocchia and Toulalang, the Israeli striker did not choose to break through forcibly. Instead, he pretended to push the ball and seemed to shoot furiously. After deceiving the defensive player's center of gravity, he sent a wonderful oblique pass with the outside of his right foot. , which happened to allow the Japanese striker on the right to succeed in anti-offside, and got an excellent opportunity to face the goalkeeper one-on-one.

In the blink of an eye, the rising star Takumi Minamino and the veteran Iker Casillas, who was once the world's best goalkeeper but has passed his prime, met on the right side of the penalty area line. The former calmly chose to push the goal Close corner, and the latter fell to the ground very quickly.In the end, the seasoned Spanish legend won slightly. Although his left hand failed to fully hit the ball, the lower half of his palm still blocked it.After a fierce confrontation between the football and the goalkeeper's glove, it hit the turf hard, then bounced high, and flew over the home team's last line of defense to the goal, but it rubbed the outside of the goal post and went out of the baseline.The red bull escaped the catastrophe in a most thrilling manner!
Li Moody was very annoyed by the team's mistake. He rushed to the sidelines and yelled twice at Bareca who hadn't recovered his defense just now, and then reminded everyone not to be careless. Two minutes later, he replaced Toulalang and Belotti with Musis and Falk.The physical fitness of the French veteran is consumed quickly in high-intensity running, and a new midfielder needs to be deployed to guard the dangerous area at the front of the penalty area; there are two reasons for replacing Hong Beibei. Completely changed to a defensive counterattack, Falk and Immobile's speed advantage is more obvious, and the second is to save strength for the league match with Inter Milan on the weekend. The three-goal lead is already very stable, and there is no need to risk it. The risk of conceding a goal strengthens the offense.

The home team, which has fully recovered, is still relatively good in terms of defensive strength. It did not allow the opponent to get a good chance to attack within 10 minutes, but everything is afraid of accidents. No.803 minutes, the right back Reiner sent a cross, the ball passed the Torino penalty area high and floating, no one can get the landing point, just as everyone turned their eyes to the far end to see who can control the first When the second hit, the referee's whistle sounded suddenly.

The 37-year-old international referee named Ovidiu Hartgan from Romania even whistled for the Turin central defender Ranocchia who was stuck in the position just now. The elbow hit the away team's striker Dabble in the face.After a penalty kick was awarded, a yellow card was given to No. 4 of the home team, which caused unanimous dissatisfaction in Turin.However, no matter how loud the boos from the fans in the stadium were, the referee's will could not be shaken. Valon Berisha tricked Casillas, who is known for his good at saving penalty kicks, and sent the ball in steadily. The lower right corner of the goal tied the score at 3-1.

Compared with the previous 2-0, this score is more beneficial to the Salzburg Red Bull. Regardless of the same point difference, at least one away goal has been achieved, and the error rate of conceded goals has been obtained in the home game. The chances of advancing have also increased by at least five percentage points.

However, before the fans of both sides fully digested the emotional changes caused by this goal, the home team played a wave of rapid attacks after the kick-off, and once again pulled the difference between the two teams back to three goals. , shocked everyone.

Immobile's kick-off from the center circle returned to Benassi behind him. The simple conduction of the latter with Vukocevic and several other teammates lured the visiting team who hoped to take advantage of the surge in their own morale to score again. Players come to grab.And just when the other side had four people crossing the midfield line to start a high-position press, Musis suddenly used a direct pass to burn the fire to the visiting team's half. Giving himself to Falk on the left while avoiding a tackle by Samasecu.

Falke, who got the ball, dribbled the ball forward at high speed from the center 45 meters away from the opponent's goal. He used his speed to throw off Schrager, and then passed the filling center back Chaleta Carr, and drove all the way in. out of the restricted area.Due to the involvement of Immobile on the side, the other central defender of the visiting team failed to return to the defense in time, and the winger of the home team got a single chance in this way.Farke, who broke into the penalty area, met the goalkeeper Walker, and used a very easy push to send the ball from under the latter into the empty goal. 4 to 1, the Red Bulls lost the ball Soon after, he gave a powerful counterattack and rejected the suspense of promotion, at least everyone thought so at this time.

The Salzburg players who were stunned by the ball did not cheer up until the end of the game. However, the two strong attacks they organized failed to achieve any results. Instead, the Turin team seized the opportunity to play again. fight back.It's a pity that Immobile's small-angle volley from the right in the first minute of stoppage time lacked a bit of luck, hitting the far post and hitting the bottom line, otherwise the betting company would have announced the closure of promotion betting for this group of matchups.

In the end, in the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals, the Red Bulls beat the overlord of the Austrian League 4-1 at home, and one foot has entered the threshold of the semi-finals.
