Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 122 We Are the Champions 4
"Oh! Glenn Stankowski sent the ball over the bar! God, he wasted a great chance to score! Looks like the Macedonian hasn't quite gotten into the game yet!"

Under the sighs of the fans, Stankovsky scratched his hair angrily, and then gave Soleimani a thumbs up.

After the Antwerp attack failed to score, the Witon team immediately launched a counterattack.

Their counterattack was fast, and after a few direct passes, they advanced directly to the hinterland of Antwerp.

However, while they blindly pursue speed, they have very few offensive players in the frontcourt. Facing the large number of Antwerp, it is difficult for them to respond to each other.

Their right midfielder passes the ball to the forward midfielder in the middle and then immediately goes forward quickly, trying to make a two-for-one cooperation.

Such an obvious intention can easily be seen through.

Yu Liang directly blocked their way to the right of the forward avant-garde.

The forward forward, unable to pass to the right, looked to the left.After finding that the pass route from the left was also blocked, and after trying to break through unsuccessfully, he directly kicked the goal from the outside.

At a distance of 35 meters from the goal, if you want to score a goal, you not only have high requirements for footwork, but also need to shoot suddenly.

Obviously, the forward forward of the Weitong team did not do these two things.

Not only was the ball slow, but it was outrageously off.

Such a sloppy shot is difficult to threaten the door that Willox handles.

After the Weitong team hastily ended their offense, they immediately retreated to the backcourt and began to defend.

Perhaps because of their lackluster performance on the offensive end, they have developed a defensive ability.

In the next attack, Antwerp didn't even get a chance to shoot and was directly cleared by them.

The Viton team's combination of regional marking and the strategy of staying firmly in the middle made Antwerp's offensive that lasted for more than 20 minutes failed to score a goal.

This made Van Ak, who had been standing on the sidelines, very dissatisfied, but Van Ak himself was helpless.

Facing the staunch defense of the Verton team, they have tried many offensive methods in the past 20 minutes.

Pass from the side, penetrate from the center, and shoot from the outside.

But none were successful.

During this period, Yu Liang also tried to recover the formation, control the rhythm, and lead the Weitong team to attack, but the Weitong team was unmoved and still defended in the backcourt, clearly aiming at a point.

Anxious Van Ak, looking at the shrinking Weitong team, shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Control, control! Hold on, hold on..."

If they continue to attack without hesitation in physical fitness, what support will they have until the end of the game.

After hearing Van Ake's shout, Yu Liang immediately slowed down his attacking rhythm, and started to fall with his teammates in the midfield.

While controlling the ball, Yu Liang was also observing the changes in the Weitong team.

Although the Weitong team is still hiding and cannot come out to press, but as their ball possession time increases, he can feel that the Weitong team's defense is slowly becoming lax.

Feeling that this was an opportunity, Yu Liang immediately launched an attack with a long pass.

Suleimani, who was on the left side of the frontcourt, stepped forward immediately and controlled the football before the opponent's full-back.

Although the opponent's full-back reacted a little slower, the opponent's central defender defended it immediately, blocking Soleimani's cross and breakthrough route.

After losing the cross and the breakthrough route, Soleimani took a look at the top corner of the penalty area for the first time.At this moment, the full-backs of the Verton team have returned to the defense, and their full-backs have also blocked the space in the ribs.

Viton's quick replacement made Antwerp lose the best chance to attack.

Yu Liang didn't expect the Weitong players to react so quickly. After seeing the missed opportunity, he directly called Soleimani to pass back and continued to fall in the midfield.

After that, Yu Liang also launched several attacks, but due to the quick response of Weitong team, he failed to get a good chance.

By the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0, and the two sides returned to the locker room with a tie.

The players were a bit depressed after failing to score a goal in the first half.

But news from the Lorzestraat later got them excited.

Relying on the opportunity of a corner kick, Diesel broke through the gate of Mons before the end of the first half and took the lead.

"Pretty!"

"pretty?"

Although Van Ak also got the news, when he entered the locker room, his face was still livid.

"They did a good job! They scored against Mons, but what about us? We couldn't do anything against Verton! Are you counting on Diesel to help us win the league? Are you counting on Mons? Will the team hand over the championship to us? Guys, don’t be naive! If we want to win the championship, we can only rely on ourselves! Scoring goals, defeating Weitong and scoring three points is king!"

Van Acker's words once again made the locker room dull.

"Attack until the end of the game!"

Facing the Weitong team's stubborn defense, they have no good way, they can only strengthen their offense.

"Biga and Ferjans take a rest, they don't attack, and we don't need to increase defense in the midfield."

"Di Gregorio and Darren Gibson, you come on. Di Gregorio, you play second forward after you come on the field, drop more to get the ball, attract the defense, and choose yourself. Glenn, you go to the middle, strengthen the frontal attack Darren, you go to the right, reduce the bottom pass, your task is to cut inside, Soleimani, you too! The task of crossing, the second half will be handed over to Dries and Holfart."

"Hurry up, the second half of the game will start soon!"

Van Aker was about to continue explaining, but he didn't expect the staff outside to rush him.

"Okay, guys, that's all! Remember that there is only one requirement for you in the second half, attack, attack, attack..."

……

"The second half of the game has begun, and players from both sides returned to the field! Oh, Van Aker made two consecutive substitution adjustments. Di Gregorio and Darren Gibson came on. This is a signal to strengthen the offense!"

"Yes, 0-0 is an unacceptable score! They must score!"

***** expressed dissatisfaction with the team's failure to score goals.

After substitutions, the second half of the game began quickly.

The Verton team, which did not make substitution adjustments during the half-time break, ended the attack hastily after the start of the second half, handed over possession of the ball to Antwerp, and retreated to the half-time and began to defend.

Facing the defending Viton team, Antwerp launched a frenzied attack.

Much the same as in the first half.

The only difference is that Antwerp invested more in the attacking end and increased the penetration in the middle.

Increased offensive strength, the effect is naturally different.

It's just that the frequent shots were all blocked by the goalkeeper of the Weitong team.

In the 61st minute, Di Gregorio's shot was punched by the opponent's goalkeeper and fell directly at Yu Liang's feet.

After attacking wildly for more than ten minutes without scoring a goal, Yu Liang is going to take this opportunity to adjust his teammates' physical fitness.

But at this moment, the regretful sighs of the fans came from the stadium, and Yu Liang knew that the score of another game had changed.Listening to the sighs, it must be the Mons team that equalized the score.

This is definitely not good news for Antwerp.

What if the Mons team overtakes the score next?
"Get to the goal quickly!"

Thinking of this, Yu Liang gave up the idea of ​​controlling the rhythm.

After turning around, pass directly to Di Gregorio.

But at this moment, the Weitong team, which had been shrinking defensively in this game, moved.

Their central midfielder moved laterally and directly cut off Yu Liang's pass, and then sent the ball diagonally to the left side of the frontcourt.

In the 62nd minute, the Weitong team launched a counterattack.

"Dry!"

Seeing the Weitong team launched a counterattack, Yu Liang immediately turned around and retreated.

He didn't expect that the Weitong team, which had retreated for more than 60 minutes, would launch a counterattack and not be satisfied with the score of 0-0.

What impressed him even more was the timing of the Verton team's choice of counterattack.

The sighs that erupted from the fans, everyone knew what it meant.Naturally, the Verton team knew about the real-time situation of the match between Diesel and Mons.

Being able to use the opportunity of the Mons team to equalize the score as an opportunity to counterattack shows that the Weitong team is not wanting nothing in this game, but has made sufficient preparations.

So from the beginning of the game, they put on a defensive posture.

This serves two purposes.

Be the first to show weakness!

To lure Antwerp out and give them the feeling that we are here to defend a point.

The second is to counterattack!
As long as they withstood Antwerp's attack and didn't allow Antwerp to score, naturally Antwerp's players became impatient with the passage of time.

In this case, Mons scored a goal, which gave them an excellent opportunity to counterattack, because the Antwerp players were distracted.

Verton coach Waldemar - Creech such an arrangement is not bad.

When they launched a counterattack, Antwerp's backcourt was empty at this time, and there were no defensive players on the two sides.

After their left midfielder received the football, there was no defensive resistance.

Yu Liang, who was struggling to chase back, did not directly move closer to the side, but let Christopher move closer to the side to defend the opponent's assaulting left midfielder, because Christopher's pursuit was fast.Yu Liang himself and Xi Sai retreated to the middle.

But after all, it was a little slower, and Christopher failed to prevent the opponent's players from breaking into the penalty area.

Willox immediately chose to attack and expand the defensive area.

But in the face of opposing players, Willox is always on the passive side.Under the opponent's two fake moves in a row, he was directly passed by.After the opponent player passed Willox, he lightly pushed and scored an empty goal.

1-0!Viton took the lead.

The goal of the Viton team was like a blow to the head, knocking out Antwerp directly.

So much so that in the next 10 minutes, they failed to organize a decent offense.
