Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 63
In the 13th minute of the first half, Albertini directly intercepted Malmö's through ball in the middle. On the way to the steal, he dribbled the ball forward.

Seeing Chen Xiao advancing with the ball, the fans of the home team in the stands cheered one after another. Now all Mainz fans have recognized Chen Xiao's core position. It can be said that Chen Xiao has now become the No. 1 in the hearts of Mainz fans.

Seeing Chen Xiao advancing with the ball at high speed, Malmö's left back couldn't help but feel tense. Before the game, he was told by the head coach to be careful of Chen Xiao. Now seeing Chen Xiao advancing along the sidewalk and constantly approaching, he kept thinking about what method Chen Xiao would choose to break through.

When the opponent was still thinking about how to choose, Chen Xiao had already come in front of the defensive player. Because of the extreme unfamiliarity with Mainz, Malmö did not choose to flank Chen Xiao. There was only one defensive player waiting in front of Chen Xiao. Faced with such a good opportunity, how could Chen Xiao miss it? Chen Xiao, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, chose very rough this time. Facing the defensive player Chen Xiao directly made a vigorous pass.
In fact, there was another reason. After all, the game had only started for more than 10 minutes, and he was very unfamiliar with the opponent, so this time he also wanted to check the opponent's level. There was no doubt that the opponent was not Chen Xiao's opponent in terms of speed, and Chen Xiao easily threw him away.

Seeing that Chen Xiao easily got rid of his teammates, Malmö's defensive midfielder had no choice but to make up defenses, but before the defensive midfielder was fully in place, Chen Xiao's pass had already flown to the middle. It was too late, under the watchful eyes of all the fans, when the football reached the back point, Baonovic also arrived. Baonovic didn't even take off, but just stuck out his head facing the incoming ball, and with a light tap on his forehead, the football changed its course, bounced on the ground and then bounced into the net.

In the 16th minute of the game, Mainz led Malmö 1-0 with Paulo Novicz's goal. This was also the first European goal in Mainz's history.

In the rest of the first half, Malmö immediately strengthened its defense after falling behind, so after Mainz took the lead throughout the first half, Mainz did not get a good chance to attack.

Soon the first half of the game ended, and Mainz kept the 1-0 score until the end of the first half.

The half-time break ended, and the second half of the game between the two teams also started with the referee's whistle.

Only 2 minutes into the second half, Chen Xiao suddenly switched positions with Troshovsky, came to the middle, and suddenly took a long shot from a place more than 30 meters away from the goal. Chen Xiao's shot was very sudden.

After this shot, Chen Xiao frequently switched positions with his teammates, sometimes in the center and sometimes on the left. Such changes made Malmö's defensive players not know what to do and fell into chaos.

Just when Malmö's defensive players were marking Chen Xiao and didn't know what to do, Chen Xiao came to the middle again. After receiving a pass from his teammate, Chen Xiao successfully broke through the defender with a fake change of direction, and then advanced in the middle. When Chen Xiao was about 26 meters away from the goal, just when Chen Xiao was about to adjust his pace and prepare for a long shot, Malmö's midfielder's flying shovel also arrived. Because the distance was too close, Chen Xiao didn't have time to make more adjustments. The shovel directly brought Chen Xiao down. Fortunately, the opponent's shovel was really aimed at the ball, so although Chen Xiao was brought to the ground, he was not injured.

"Red card! Foul!"

"Red card!"

But the Mainz fans in the stands didn't care whether you were aiming at the ball or at people. Anyway, seeing Chen Xiao fell to the ground, they felt that the referee should give a red card.

Klopp on the sidelines was also a little worried when he saw Chen Xiao who fell to the ground. The outcome of the game is not important, but whether Chen Xiao's health is very important. In the new season, Chen Xiao has assumed the core position of the team's offense. If the core is injured before the league starts, it will be a big trouble for the team.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao's temporary adjustments and self-protection before falling to the ground were not bad, so although he fell to the ground, he was not injured.

The referee is also nearby and can see it very clearly, so the Mainz fans didn't get what they wanted. There were no red cards, only yellow cards.

The direct free kick 26 meters away from the goal made the Mainz fans in the stands very happy. This distance happened to be within Chen Xiao's shooting range.

Huang Jianxiang in the domestic studio said excitedly: "Foul! The referee directly showed the yellow card to the Malmö player and awarded a direct free kick. Chen Xiao has a very powerful free kick, and Albertini of Mainz also has a special skill with a falling ball. I don't know who will take the kick."

The player who took the penalty was still Chen Xiao. After the referee blew the whistle, Chen Xiao didn't make any fancy moves. He just ran up a few steps without any extra moves, and some were just arcs accurate to millimeters.

Malmö's goalkeeper had only time to stretch out an arm, and the ball flew into the net. The goalkeeper's action was less like a save and more like an invitation.

In the 51st minute of the game, Mainz led Malmö 2-0 with Chen Xiao's free kick.

Chen Xiao scored his first European goal.

Mainz, leading by two goals, became more aggressive and continued to suppress the Ruichao champion on the field.

Less than 15 minutes after Chen Xiao's goal, Mainz had another good opportunity.

Banovic made a cross from the left and was ejected by Malmö's defenders, but it wasn't too far. The ball was caught by Troshovsky on the edge of the penalty area. Seeing that the opponent got the ball in such a dangerous place, Malmö's defenders tried their best to block it. .

In the 67th minute of the game, Chen Xiao scored again, reducing the number of goals he scored in this game to 2, which also allowed Mainz to lead Malmö 3-0.

Mainz, who already had three goals in hand, played more calmly, and Malmö did not strengthen the offense, because it was a two-round game, so Malmö's only idea now is to try to lose as little as possible, and see if they can get results when they return to the home court.

So in the end Mainz maintained the 3-0 score until the end.

At the whistle of the referee, Mainz's first European game ended. At their home court, Mainz defeated the visiting Swiss Super League champion Malmo with a score of 3-0.
