Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 86
The players on the field were ready. The referee looked at his watch, then reached out to signal the fourth official on the sidelines, and finally blew the whistle in his mouth to signal the start of the game.

Chen Xiao, who kicked off with Dopoulos in the middle circle, lightly tapped the football with his foot, then quickly pulled away and ran to the right.

After the start of the game, Hertha Berlin, who played at home, seemed very cautious, and the defensive intensity in the midfield was very strong. Every time Mainz took the ball in the midfield, at least two players would step forward to block it.

Because the number of people in the midfield is at a disadvantage, Chen Xiao on Mainz and Paulovic on the left retreat to the midfield from time to time to support their teammates.

For nearly 20 minutes from the start of the game, neither team had a single shot, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and as time went on, everyone moved more and more.

The busiest thing on the court at the moment is the referee, the whistle keeps ringing, and everyone is turned on their backs.

Looking at the situation on the field, Klopp also felt a headache. He never expected that Hertha Berlin would put down his face at his home court and play such a completely unskilled tactic against himself. Klopp has been walking around on the sidelines, reminding the players on the field from time to time to calm down. The more this time, the more we have to beware of the opponent's counterattack. In this stalemate, it depends on who can break the deadlock first. At this time, only goals can solve everything.This game is very important for both sides. There is no such thing as a happy situation. Only victory and three points are the most important, so it doesn't matter if the process is rough or ugly.

In the 29th minute of the game, Hertha Berlin took the lead in showing its murderous intent.

Basturk intercepted Chen Xiao's pass in the backcourt, and then made a long pass to find Gilberto in the middle. After Gilberto stopped the ball in the chest, because Knight's defense was very tight, he couldn't turn around and could only pass back to teammate Boateng.

Although Cairo was offside first, Hertha Berlin's attack still scared everyone in Mainz into a cold sweat.

In the 34th minute of the game, after receiving a pass from his teammate in the middle, Chen Xiao crossed past Basturk's block with a single step, and then volleyed from a long distance. Federer, who was highly focused, blocked the baseline and Mainz won a corner kick.

Seeing that the goal he had to score was saved by the opponent, Chen Xiao grinned and didn't care, there was still time.

Chen Xiao took the corner kick and accurately found Knight in the front point. Knight's header shot back to Mochizuki hit the post, and was caught by Federer who was scared out of his wits.

Although the back-and-forth offense of the two sides failed to score a goal, the fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions made the fans who watched the game very enjoyable. The current offense of both sides seems to be just short of the final goal. Now we will see who can last longer. Judging from the situation on the field, both sides are equal.

With the passage of time, the first half of the game was slowly coming to an end, and the fourth official on the sidelines had already raised the display board for 2 minutes of stoppage time.

Everyone thought that the first half would end in a draw, but Chen Xiao was unwilling. Chen Xiao knew that the first half of the game was coming to an end, and this was also the time when the opponent was most relaxed.

Chen Xiao, who had been cruising on the right, suddenly came to the left and received a long pass from Albertini. It turned out that when Chen Xiao moved to the left, he had been signaling to his teammates through gestures, and the most important thing was that Albertini’s long pass came from a Hertha Berlin pass error.

Basturk has been following Chen Xiao closely all the time. He feels that he has fully sensed Chen Xiao's intentions, and when Chen Xiao is about to reach the bottom line, he suddenly sticks up, and he will definitely be able to prevent Chen Xiao.

Just when Basturk felt that he had the chance to win, Chen Xiao suddenly made a flower arrangement and pushed the ball horizontally with his right foot, then made an emergency stop, turned around, and directly cut inside.

Chen Xiao's inward cut completely exceeded Basturk's expectations, and Basturk, who was following Chen Xiao with all his strength, was immediately thrown off by Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao, who cut inside, quickly came to the front of the penalty area. Van Brick had no choice but to step forward to defend, but Chen Xiao easily passed by. Chen Xiao, who came to the top of the arc, wanted to shoot, but he felt a strong force pushing towards him.

Beep!The referee who had been following Chen Xiao decisively blew the whistle for Boateng's foul. The Hertha Berlin players immediately surrounded them and signaled that their teammates hadn't fouled.

The big screen in the stadium is constantly replaying Boateng’s action just now. From the slow motion, it is indeed Boateng’s foul. Although he touched the ball first, his arm obviously moved forward forcefully, so there is no problem with the penalty. The reason why the Hertha Berlin players were so excited just now is because the free kick in this position is indeed very dangerous. Now the Bundesliga team knows that Chen Xiao from Mainz has a very powerful free kick. draw cards.

Federer nervously directed his teammates to line up the wall, while Chen Xiao calmly stood in front of the football. This free kick was about 21 meters away from the goal, so Chen Xiao didn't plan to run up because it was too close to the goal.

Looking at Hertha Berlin's human wall, Chen Xiao had a whim, waved to Nat next to the human wall, whispered a few words in Nat's ear, and Nat looked at Chen Xiao in surprise, and then ran to his teammates with a smile on his mouth to explain something.

The referee saw that the human wall stood still, and signaled Chen Xiao with a whistle to start.

Under all the attention, Chen Xiao swung his thighs on the spot as if he was going to hit a curveball, but to everyone's surprise, Chen Xiao actually chose a ground ball push shot. At the same time as Chen Xiao shot, Hertha Berlin's human wall jumped up, and the football that Chen Xiao pushed rolled past under the human wall, and Federer's line of sight was blocked by the human wall. When the ball appeared in sight, he had no time to react. Roll the football into the net.

1-0, in stoppage time in the first half, Mainz used Chen Xiao's direct free kick to take the lead.
