Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 91 Equalizing
The game restarted, and there were nearly 7 minutes before the end of the first half including stoppage time.

Although Chen Xiao really wanted to use goals to restore the morale of the team, this thing should not be rushed, the more urgent the more mistakes will be made, Chen Xiao, who knows this well, has always kept calm, staring at the opponent's defense line like a lone wolf.

The fourth official on the sidelines had already raised the sign for 2 minutes of stoppage time, and Chen Xiao finally found a chance. Alkmaar was in the backcourt. When the ball was passed to Shas, Chen Xiao stepped forward to press. Logically speaking, Shas would pass the ball immediately. I don’t know if it was because the game was about to end in the first half or because he led by two goals in the half. Shas actually played in front of Chen Xiao. Well, in Chen Xiao's eyes, Shasi's movement of riding a bicycle is like a clown. The speed is not only slow but also the center of gravity is wrong. Seeing this, Chen Xiao would have laughed if he hadn't been in the race.

When Shas stepped on the third bicycle, Chen Xiao suddenly stretched out his right foot and stabbed the football, and accelerated to rush over. However, because Shas lost his center of gravity, his left foot tripped over his right foot and fell to the ground.

Chen Xiao moved forward at a high speed along the ribs, because the steal was in the frontcourt, so from the beginning of Chen Xiao's steal, he did not pull down the wing, but kept in the midfield, because this would make the opponent feel scruples about his free kick.

Now Alkmaar's defense has only four players including the goalkeeper. When Chen Xiao pushes to the front of the penalty area, Dezewu can only choose to press forward, because Shas has been chasing Chen Xiao from behind. Besides, it will be more troublesome if Chen Xiao enters the penalty area, so Dezewu hopes to stop Chen Xiao from outside the penalty area.

However, the idea was good, but the result was completely different. Chen Xiao made a beautiful Marseille maneuver in the face of Dezewu's uprush and easily entered the penalty area, and because Chen Xiao entered the penalty area, Dezewu, who was passed by, did not dare to make any big moves. The other central defender, Opddam, was shocked because he had already seen Chen Xiao. , he could only choose to make a blocking action. After seeing the opponent's action, Chen Xiao, who made the shooting action, had a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth. He gently lowered his right leg and then evaded Opdam's blocking range with a buckle. Then he volleyed with his left foot. The football quickly passed the goalkeeper and flew into the net.

1 to 2, before the end of the first half, Mainz finally scored and narrowed the gap to only one goal.

Klopp on the sidelines was also slightly relieved after seeing his proud disciple score a goal. He clenched his right fist and waved a few times. Although he was still behind, the morale of the team rose with this goal.

Chen Xiao, who scored the goal, rejected the celebration of his teammates, held the ball from the goal and put it in the center circle. Although Chen Xiao knew that the first half of the game should be over, he wanted to tell everyone in this way that the game has just begun.

Van Gaal on the sidelines was very angry when he saw Chen Xiao's goal, especially for Shas's mistake. Obviously, Shas's life would not be easy during the halftime break, but to be honest, the responsibility for the goal was indeed Shas'.

After the restart of the game, as soon as Alkmaar kicked off, the referee blew the whistle for the end of halftime.

The two sides returned to the locker room, and everyone in Mainz who had scored a goal no longer looked hesitant or confused. It seemed that Chen Xiao's goal had indeed saved the team's morale. Now they are only one goal behind, and there is still time for Mainz to have a chance.

After returning to the locker room, Klopp clapped his hands and said: "Guys, I am responsible for the first half. Don't be discouraged. Let's continue in the second half. From today's game on, let's play our own style and don't think about other people's style of play or tactics. I have only one request for you. You must concentrate on the field and don't get distracted. The opponent is very strong, but we are not weak. It doesn't matter what a strong team it is or what a powerful coach it is. Get rid of them and tell them we are the most newly promoted."

When Klopp was mobilizing the players, Shas was facing a violent storm. As soon as Van Gaal returned to the locker room, he sprayed Shas with dog blood.

Soon the intermission ended, and the second half of the match between the two sides continued.

At the referee's whistle, the second half began.

The two teams did not choose to make substitutions in the second half of the game, and continued to use the starting lineup of the first half.

At the beginning of the game, Mainz continued to choose their own offensive tactics. Several people in the frontcourt were very active and quickly found the first opportunity in the second half.

In the 49th minute of the game, Bonovic cooperated with Knight to steal the ball from Lanzat on the left. After advancing for a certain distance, Bonovic made a long pass and found Troshovsky in the middle before the opponent's full-back came up. The cooperation is already very tacit. Sometimes a look or a movement can understand what the other party's intention is. Troshovsky's pass is very imaginative. Facing Chen Xiao's ball, Opdam and De Zewu both hesitated for a while, and it was this that allowed Chen Xiao to slip in between the two smoothly.

After Chen Xiao passed, Oprém and Dezeu panicked, because they were already the last line of defense except the goalkeeper. Chen Xiao, who entered the penalty area, faced the goalkeeper directly. In fact, the real mistake of the ball was not the moment of hesitation by the two of them, but an obvious problem with the positioning of the two at the moment when Troshovsky passed the ball.

Regardless of whether it was a mistake or not, these had no effect on Chen Xiao. After seeing Chen Xiao forming a single goal, the goalkeeper Federer immediately tried to block and intercept Chen Xiao's shot. Facing the advanced goalkeeper Chen Xiao, he used a classic pendulum movement to make Federer judge that there was a problem.

2 to 2, in the 51st minute of the game, Mainz relied on Chen Xiao's goal to equalize the score.

The fans in the stands erupted into huge cheers in an instant, and the atmosphere of the fans who had been low for half the time suddenly rose. Although the fans were still cheering for the team when Mainz fell behind, they were still behind, so the atmosphere was still relatively low.

Both Klopp and Van Gaal have been standing on the sidelines. The moment Chen Xiao scored the goal, the moods of the two of them were very different. Van Gaal couldn't understand how he, who was still in the lead just now, was suddenly equalized. The players didn't have any major loopholes on the field.

On the other hand, Klopp jumped up and shook his fist a few times in the air. At this moment, Klopp's mood finally began to relax, but it was not enough. After Klopp celebrated the goal, he pulled Albertini on the sidelines and confessed in a low voice, asking him to tell the players to continue to maintain this offensive intensity.
