Fenerbahçe's attacking player, Tuncay, was in possession of the ball. He looked at Sporting de Gijón's penalty area and had a headache. The opponent's tactic was very clear, which was to hide and defend. This made the Turk, who liked to open wide, feel helpless. This also made Tuncay feel annoyed that he had wasted a great chance to score.
Just as Tuncay was hesitating, Carlos suddenly snatched the ball.
Tuncay's footwork could only be said to be average. His specialty was his fast speed and strong impact. Therefore, in the face of Carlos's snatch, he tried to tackle it. However, he was still half a beat slower. Carlos grabbed the ball in front of him and shoveled the ball!
Huge boos suddenly erupted from the stands of Sarajevo Oğlu. They thought that Carlos's tackle was a foul.
The Swiss referee of the game, Thomas Thomasson, hesitated and did not whistle.
This caused the home fans to be crazy and dissatisfied. Some fans began to throw debris into the field. Most of them were blocked by the high barbed wire fence. Only a few were thrown to the sidelines.
"I finally know why the barbed wire fence is so high." On the substitutes' bench, Vermaelen said as if he had a sudden realization.
The veteran Gieza glanced at the kid. It's good to be young.
*****
The ball that Carlos shoveled out did not go out of the sidelines. Instead, it was received by someone.
The person who received the ball that Carlos shoveled out was the French youth, Franck Ribéry, who retreated to the outside of his own penalty area.
Ribéry improved rapidly after coming to Sporting de Gijón. At the beginning of the season, he only cared about dribbling the ball and only wanted to show himself. However, after being taught a lesson by Li Ang, he integrated into the team quickly. He was also very good at dribbling the ball and knew what to do at the right time.
After Ribéry took the ball, he did not rush forward. Although he had been besieged by his opponents for ten minutes and he was anxious and angry, he did not lose his calm. He did not rush to dribble the ball forward or pass the ball carelessly.
Ribéry pretended to break through, causing Fenerbahçe's defensive midfielder, De Souza, to run two steps back to block. However, he pulled the ball back and did not break through. He didn't pass the ball either. Instead, he looked up and observed, waiting for his teammates to plug in. Otherwise, there would be no point for him to pass the ball.
Juan Mata ran up quickly. The two full backs, Grosso and Ivanovic, were also very fast. It was obvious that Sporting de Gijón had been suppressed for ten minutes and could not wait to attack.
Ribéry passed the ball to Juan Mata, who directly sent the football out. His target was the speeding Juan Mata. Then he waved to Juan Carlos at the back and motioned for him to come up as well.
Carlos hesitated for a moment. For today's match, Li Ang had given him the task of doing his best to build a moving wall in front of the defensive line. He was worried that he might be pushing too hard.
"Come up!" Albertini shouted.
"Go!" Captain Hierro said. Both he and Albertini were experienced and knew that it would be better to move the defensive line forward at this time.
Carlos hurriedly ran up.
Albertini stroked Carlos' head dotingly. "Listen to me! That's right!" He admired this kid very much, and Li Ang also intended to let him be Carlos's teacher to help "teach" Carlos.
*****
Mata dribbled the ball very quickly. He had been out for nearly three months due to his injury. He was bored out of his mind. He longed for the game and the feeling of running with the ball.
In the face of the Fenerbahçe defender, Orsat, who pounced fiercely on him, Mata deftly changed direction and rushed past him.
On the sidelines, Li Ang watched with trepidation. What he was most worried about now was that the opponent would give Mata a hard kick. Then it would be over. He really liked little Mata. This child was his direct descendant. This was also the reason why Li Ang did not hesitate to use [Beginner's Transfer of Misfortune] on Mata.
After passing Orsat, Mata continued to dribble the ball. Then he saw another Fenerbahçe defender being attracted by him. He suddenly passed the ball!
The one who received the ball was Benzema, who was pulled out to provide support!
Benzema controlled the ball outside the penalty area. As the center forward, he did not stay in front of the goal. Instead, he pulled out. This was also Li Ang's special request today. The Turkish player was tall and big. Di Natale's defensive ability was not good, so he asked Benzema to pull out. Although Benzema was only seventeen years old, the young man was strong and had a stronger defensive ability than Di Natale. After being pulled out, he would play the role of a bridgehead. Di Natale would be the hidden dagger that shone with a cold light!
Li Ang's tactical arrangement could be said to have caught Fenerbahçe off guard. Their manager had studied Sporting de Gijón's recent games. Benzema had been used as the center forward.
Benzema was pulled out of the penalty area. Fenerbahçe's center back, Fatah, immediately rushed out and built a defensive line on the penalty area line. This was to prevent Benzema from possibly breaking through or shooting. In the game against Numansiya, Benzema had scored a super long shot. Fenerbahçe's manager, Dahm, who had studied that game, warned his players to be careful of Benzema's long shot!
But Benzema did not really want to break through by himself, nor did he want to shoot by himself.
He stuffed the football through the gap in Fenerbahçe's last line of defense.
At the same time, Di Natale suddenly plugged forward, passed through Fenerbahçe's rear defensive line, appeared behind them, and … received the ball!
*****
"Di Natale! He received the ball! "
"Di Natale! Not offside!! "
"It's a one-on-one!" The commentator, Dagestino, shouted at the top of his lungs.
The most heart-wrenching boos since the start of the game broke out in the stands of Saragoglu Stadium. The hearts of Fenerbahçe's fans tightened …
Li Ang, who was in the technical area, suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and stared at Fenerbahçe's penalty area!
Di Natale, who was in an offside position, would not be soft-footed in the face of such a good opportunity. He had the strength to take care of this last move! Li Ang had confidence in Di Natale. He felt that this Italian, who was a late bloomer, could make him feel at ease!
Sure enough, in the face of Fenerbahçe's goalkeeper, Rustu, who attacked, Di Natale's performance was calmer than an iceberg.
He looked at the goal, estimated, and decisively lifted his foot!
A single kick, precise calculations, wonderful footwork!
The football drew an arc and swept past Rustu, who attacked.
In the end, this wonderful arc, the football fell into the net …
*****
“Goooool!”
The crazy and noisy stadium, which was like a volcano, was silent in an instant, and then erupted with even crazier roars, boos, and insults.
On the field, Di Natale ran to celebrate, and then was blocked by his teammates. They roared and shouted excitedly.
On the sidelines, Li Ang raised his arms high, and his movements were very strong!
His gaze, however, was fixed in one direction. He was facing the banner on the spectator stand. The bloody words on it read: Welcome to Hell!
Your head is my meritorious service. When the knife cuts off the head, it is Hell!
Where the blade points, it is Hell!
