Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 211

"God, is this a blind kick? Blind kicks can also score?"

"Yes, the blind kick is still in!"

"The wife is so handsome! There should be screaming here..."

After Ibrahimovic scored, the fans in the stands were either ecstatic or unbelievable.It is not too difficult to score a goal like this, the key is this courage and this arrogance.If Ibrahimovic thinks he is the craziest player on the green field, I am afraid no one will dare to admit that he is second.

In the second half, Benfica's goal was not far from Ibrahimovic's group of fans. As soon as the goal was scored, the "fans" immediately celebrated with singing and dancing. Some even beat the tambourine they brought earlier, wishing they could climb ladders in the stands .

Ibrahimovic ran past them, stretched out his left index finger, stuck it to his lips, and made a "quiet" movement, as if saying: This is the first ball, let's keep a low profile!

"No problem!" The fans quickly stopped their tambourines and sat down in place - they did what Ibrahimovic said.

The Benfica fans next to him wanted to cry: keep a low profile?Then why are you not low-key when you shoot?

Sure enough, the next moment, Ibrahimovic was already slashing at the side of the stands, clenched his fists and shouted.It was so noisy on the court, but he could still hear him shouting.

In terms of emotion, he made his fanboy whisper earlier, just to let more people hear his own voice.

As a result, the fans of both sides unanimously fell in love with the same person.

At this time, Royce had already rushed to Ibrahimovic's side. Big Ibrahimovic opened his arms and immediately gave Royce a bear hug who grabbed the ball and offered an assist.Royce was also shocked and excited when he saw Ibrahimovic's goal just now.He is now full of the way Ibrahimovic pointed his hands at himself when he scored a goal just now. Royce is also full of pride in his heart for being able to make this ball for Ibrahimovic.

"Zlatan, you are so amazing, incredible!" Royce was excited, and a series of German words came out.

Ibrahimovic is also very grateful to Royce. The ball that Royce made for him just now stopped him so comfortably.The ball stopped at his feet, and Ibrahimovic felt as if he had passed it to himself.

"You're not bad, you're not bad, you've fed the pancakes well!" Ibrahimovic commented on Royce bluntly, his boasting was almost the limit. "Continue to feed Zlatan in the future, you will be the assist king in the Premier League!"

Royce:  …

The emotional one is still boasting about himself: as long as you pass the ball to Ibrahimovic, you can win the assist king. Isn't this Ibrahimovic boasting that he must score every goal?

But for Ibrahimovic, if every ball is as accurate as Royce's pass just now, it will be a must for him-isn't this just eating cakes?What?Spit cake? ...for Zlatan, nonexistent!

When Ibrahimovic was still celebrating his goal on the sidelines, the Sunderland stands were full of joy.

In recent decades, this team has no experience of reaching the knockout rounds of European wars.Now the goal scored by Ibrahimovic is the first goal scored by Sunderland in the European knockout rounds in decades.It doesn't matter whether it's low-key or high-key, anyway, the fans didn't run away when they were happy.

On the sidelines, Anton called Garner aside to teach him the opportunity.

It's the same with Jesús.

Falling behind in the away game, Benfica's strategy needs to be adjusted immediately-Jesus hastily arranged to strengthen the midfield to organize the attack, and strive to score an away goal.This is a home and away two-round knockout match. Even if Benfica is scored one or two goals by Sunderland, if there is an away goal in hand, it will be beneficial to the next round.

Under such harsh weather conditions, Jesús could not guarantee that his team could continue to defend. Since the opponent also had objective difficulties in defending, he simply chose to go all out to attack.

And this is what Anton said to Garner: In order to prevent the opponent's attack, he sent all the tall players in the team except Ibrahimovic to the backcourt to support Pickford and Hummels.Anton specifically asked Garner to tell all the players that they must be cautious in handling the ball in the backcourt; if the opponent passes a high ball near the penalty area, Anton asked everyone to use the header as much as possible to avoid mistakes due to the inability to control the strength of their feet.

The game turned around and it looked like Benfica had the upper hand, while Sunderland defended extraordinarily carefully.

But most of the Benfica players complained in their hearts.

They are not used to this annoying rainy and snowy weather. In the first half, in order to fight against the cold, the players each expended too much energy, and now they all feel exhausted.For this reason, most of them are straightforward, kicking their feet across the half and directly looking for teammates-but this approach often returns in vain: Sunderland always has tall defenders who come up to compete for the top, and Benfica's defenders are beaten in two or three times. The ball is taken away.

When the game was close to 70 minutes, the snow suddenly fell heavily.In the beams of light cast by the LED lights of the stadium, countless snowflakes can be seen blowing to the ground with the wind.In about 10 minutes, the greenery has turned white.

In this game, Sunderland wore a red and white home jersey and white shorts; while Benfica wore a black away jersey.In the snowy night, it's really hard to say who looks more conspicuous.On the other hand, Anton was standing on the sidelines. His light gray woolen coat looked no different from white.Anton's short black hair turned gray after a few minutes.

Fan: ... Distressed!Who sent an umbrella to the head coach?

Anton didn't care about it at all. He was clapping his hands vigorously at the moment, and at the same time shouted at the players on the court, reminding his players to pay attention to the "snow conditions".It should be noted that Anton has always had an elegant style, and he rarely yelled like this even on the court.Obviously a little anxious at this time.

The players also quickly noticed the change in the field. As the snow fell more and more, the surface of the field began to accumulate snow.The Stadium of Light does not have an automatic snow melting device. As soon as the ground temperature falls, all the snow accumulates on the surface. The snow is mixed with the turf, and the speed of the ball on the ground gradually slows down. The ball no longer runs around the ground, but rolls. will stop suddenly.

In the snowy night game, sometimes the players on the court can’t even see where the ball is – kicking “snowball” may refer to this, kicking a ball in the snow, and flying a kick does not mean that you have kicked the ball , probably just raised a big snow.

To play in such bad weather conditions and still think about scoring goals is simply impossible.

So the players all looked at the referee and thought, why didn't the referee stop the game?

It may be because Sunderland's game itself has been postponed once. The referee on duty has been told by UEFA to make the game end smoothly, so don't stop it early.So, the referee took a look at the field and counted 22 players, none of the players was sneaking in, so he didn't care about anything else. Anyway, there were still about 10 minutes left, and the game should be over.

Seeing the game coming to an end, Jesús felt a little regretful.

Judging from the situation of the game, the football circles made too much of Sunderland's new European team and praised Anton too much, but it was nothing more than that at the scene.After watching most of the game, Jesús has come to the conclusion that the main reason is that the star is strong alone, while the opponent's young coach is very good, but he doesn't see how good his on-the-spot command is.

Knowing this, Jesus felt that he should let the team go all out to attack.At the last moment of this game, Jesús decided to give it a go. He waved desperately from the sidelines to let the team press up.The effort paid off in the 89th minute when Benfica managed to score a corner.

The score is behind, the weather is bad, and the set kick is the best opportunity.For this reason, the entire Benfica team, including the goalkeeper, all came to the Sunderland penalty area, and when the corner kick was taken, they were ready to compete for the top.

But Sunderland's altitude is there, and it is a bit risky for the Benfica goalkeeper to attack.Therefore, once the goalkeeper sees the opponent grabbing the first spot, he rushes towards his own goal.

Just after the middle circle, the Benfica goalkeeper saw the ball flying from behind and hoisted it towards his own goal.

It's over!Who is so tricky?

The Benfica goalkeeper ran wildly, with grief and anger in his heart.He didn't know that after Ibrahimovic received the ball from his teammate, he flicked his big foot and it was an ultra-long-range lob shot.

The ball was well aimed, landed at the front of the penalty area, and rolled into the goal.

"Hurry up!" The [-] Benfica fans in the stands watched the race between the goalkeeper and "Inertia", and they all shouted desperately in an instant.

Seeing that the ball was about to roll over the goal line, the ball rolled slower and slower, gradually stopped, and even stopped in front of the goal line.

It turned out that the snow in front of Benfica's goal was getting thicker and thicker, and the snow increased the resistance. As a result, the ball was not directly hoisted into the goal as in normal weather conditions, but stopped slowly. Coincidentally, it stopped at the goal line in front of.

If Ibrahimovic saw it with his own eyes in front of the goal at this moment, he would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

When the Benfica goalkeeper rushed to the small penalty area line in one breath, he felt that he was very lucky today: the goal that must be scored in the past was actually "beautiful" today and was blocked by God.

There was a lot of noise around, and the fans were all booing and shouting in the snow.The Benfica goalkeeper heard the whistling wind, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

The ball was right in front of his eyes.He stretched out his arms, and he was about to pick up the ball. In order not to hit the ball by mistake, the Benfica goalkeeper slowed down.

At this moment, a shadow flew past the Benfica goalkeeper, dribbled the ball, and crashed into the goal together.

This shadow didn't kick the shot at all, but rushed directly into the goal, rushing into the goal with the ball.

It wasn't the first time this man had done this, and when he ran from the goal, the entire Stadium of Light called his name:

"Marco, Marco..."

The person who scored the goal was Royce, who assisted Ibrahimovic earlier, and now he likes to score another goal.

The Benfica goalkeeper only retreated to save Ibrahimovic's lob shot, and didn't even notice that there was a "tail" behind him, so he missed the best time to save and watched the ball go into the net from in front of his eyes.

Ibrahimovic, who was waiting for the result near the center circle, was surprised twice: Seeing his "twice scored" stop in front of the goal, Ibrahimovic wrinkled his nose and couldn't believe it, but when Royce scored a goal , Ibrahimovic laughed heartily in midfield.

A goal disappeared, but it turned into an assist immediately. Ibrahimovic, who likes to be strong in statistics, felt: This snowy night is really amazing!
