Chapter 1403 Gained and Lost

In fact, Neto is not considered a big player. After all, the second half of the game has just started, and Valencia's strategy is to carry out strangulation-style pressing in the midfield, forcing the Spaniard to keep passing back. The two-footed pass found Xia Ruofei accurately, and Xia Ruofei easily avoided the steal that Valencia players were bound to get.

In addition, Xia Ruofei's decisiveness exceeded Neto's expectations. In fact, Xia Ruofei didn't look at the goal at all. It was not until he kicked up that Neto realized that it was a hanging goal.

Neto's eyes narrowed, and he quickly retreated while staring at the football.

At this time, Neto was actually not very flustered, because Xia Ruofei's foot was too far from the goal. According to his judgment, even if the ball was shot within the goal range, he still had enough time to react.

But Neto quickly turned his face. He found that the speed of Xia Ruofei's hanging goal exceeded his expectations, much faster than he judged. Almost in the blink of an eye, the football had already flown into the penalty area.

Neto quickly accelerated his retreat, but it was too late.

The football had already flown over his head, and he was still several meters away from the goal.

Neto gritted his teeth, kicked his feet sharply during the retreat, and pulled it up on the spot, hoping to intercept the ball in the air.

But Xia Ruofei's lob shot was mastered so well.

Even if Neto took off with all his strength, he still couldn't touch the ball. What's more, he was still taking off in the process of retreating, and the height was even more insufficient.

Neto could only watch helplessly as the football passed by at least twenty or thirty centimeters from the highest point of his fingertips.

When he fell heavily to the ground, out of the corner of his eyes, he could see the football swoosh into the net, bouncing inside the goal and finally stopped.

Even the referee was stunned for a moment, and then he blew his whistle and gestured to the serve point in the middle circle.

Lightning Goal!

Less than a minute after the start of the second half, 13 seconds to be exact, the Spaniards tied the score with a shocking lob shot near the center circle by No. 25 Xia Ruofei!

Valencia's head coach didn't even have time to sit down on the bench,

Just staring at the football that was still spinning in the goal, some couldn't believe his eyes.

On the other hand, the Spaniards' bench was suddenly boiling. The substitute players and coaching staff all jumped up from their seats, and then hugged heavily with the people around them, celebrating the goal with excitement.

Even Puado jumped up from his seat like a conditioned reflex, but he immediately realized that it was the Huaxia player he hated the most this time, so he took it back before the smile on his face could bloom. .

But the substitute player next to him kept him and shouted in his ear: "This goal is too big! It's a bomb, isn't it?"

Puado forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes..."

The substitute player didn't notice Puado's perfunctory behavior. In fact, he was already in a state of extreme excitement. After hugging Puado, he immediately turned around and hugged another teammate.

The head coach of the Spaniards, Ruby, opened his eyes even more, his face full of disbelief, and at the same time he was shaking his hands, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was dreaming.

This action of Ruby was also faithfully recorded by the camera, which became a very interesting tidbit of this round of La Liga, especially the sports media of China, which played this scene repeatedly in the following days.

A Huaxia player, with his amazing performance, successfully stunned his own head coach. From the perspective of Huaxia media and Huaxia fans, it is indeed a very cool thing.

In the stands of the visiting team, the fans have already gone crazy. They fell behind 0-2 shortly after the opening of the first half, and evened the score at the beginning of the second half. This kind of roller coaster-like feeling of ups and downs is really exciting.

And Xia Ruofei's lob shot is really wonderful. It can be said that he can definitely be selected for the top ten goals in this round. Even in the long season, such goals will be often mentioned.

Valencia's goalkeeper Neto is struggling. Every time he replays this goal in the future, he will become the background board, showing his most embarrassing scene in front of everyone again and again.

Xue Jinshan and others even jumped and yelled in the stands, and they had completely released themselves. Some Taoyuan Company employees did not watch football very much before, and they were a little bit awkward in the first half, but now it seems that they have become one with the pure Spanish fans, and there is no difference at all.

Xue Jinshan shouted loudly while jumping: "What am I talking about? As long as the chairman wants to score, no one can stop him! What is Niubi? This is Niui!"

After half the game, Xue Jinshan's voice was hoarse, and his voice sounded a bit funny, but no one laughed at him, because everyone's mood was the same.

At the moment when Xia Ruofei kicked up his feet, Shen Fangjian said subconsciously: "Xia Ruofei is a little too hasty with this ball! He has escaped the opponent's pressing, and his own players have not yet inserted in place, such a big foot... Wait! It's a lob! Valencia's goalkeeper Neto is running back hard! He jumps up...and doesn't touch the ball! The goal is in! The goal is in!"

After talking for a long time, Shen Fangjian quickly took a breath and said excitedly: "This ball is so beautiful! It's so beautiful! It's like a work of art! I really can't believe it. , this is played by our Chinese players... Please forgive my words, but this is indeed my mood at this moment!"

"Xia Ruofei's ball is very calm!" Jia Tianning said on the side, "and after he easily avoided the opponent's pressing, he didn't look at the goal at all, just a high-quality lob shot! This shows that he is always there during the game. Observing the situation, and the field of vision is very good, I immediately noticed that the goalkeeper was standing in the front, so I didn't hesitate to shoot a lob! There is no doubt that Xia Ruofei's vision and awareness are much higher than those of domestic players! That's all In terms of goals, it is something that many big European stars may not be able to achieve! This goal is destined to be remembered for a long time!”

Shen Fangjian's mood has calmed down a little at this time, he smiled and ridiculed: "Tian Ning, netizens say that you are the deputy head of 'Wu Chuitang', I think you should be separated now, and the official promotion will be directly It's good to be the head of 'Natsubukido'!"

Hearing Shen Fangjian's remarks, many fans who stayed up late to watch the game almost sprayed on the computer monitor. Everyone did not expect that Shen Fangjian, who was born in a national television station, would have such a narrow side.

"I dare to assert that if Xia Ruofei has been playing professional football, his achievements are definitely beyond our imagination!" Jia Tianning didn't mind Shen Fangjian's ridicule, he said, "But considering Xia Ruofei's identity, I guess he is unlikely. Really become a professional player!"

Maybe Shen Fangjian thought of the current situation of the national football team and felt a little heavy. He directly changed the topic and said, "Let's enjoy happy football! I believe that a month ago, we couldn't imagine that there would be two Chinese players. To score goals in the top league, tonight's game is like a special game for China!"

Jia Tianning said with a smile: "I even thought about tomorrow's media title: China Double Star Shines in La Liga!"

It still tastes familiar! Whether it is Wu Chuitang or Xia Chuitang, Jia Tianning is indeed very competent.

...

Back on the field, Espanyol's players were celebrating at Valencia's home court, but the fans of the home team in the stands abnormally did not boo. They were shocked by Xia Ruofei's super wonderful lob shot, and some fans took the initiative to fight for it. Applause for this beautiful goal.

Football is never just about confrontation. Pure fans will express their appreciation from the bottom of their hearts when they see such a goal, even if it is scored by an opponent player.

Just one minute after watching the ball, the players on both sides returned to their respective half to prepare for the kick-off. The difference is that this time it was Valencia who kicked off, and the score on the field has been rewritten to 2:2.

The referee blew his whistle and the game resumed.

Valencia did not press on the offense aggressively because they were equalized by the opponent at home. After kick-off, they kept falling in the midfield and backcourt, passing all safety balls.

Before they knew it, they had passed more than 20 balls, always keeping the ball under the feet of their own players.

It's not that Valencia's players don't want to win at home. In the face of Spaniards, who are obviously not as strong as themselves, and it's at home again, Valencia definitely wants to take all three points.

It's just that these players are very experienced. They know very well that after Xia Ruofei scored such a wonderful long-range lob, the morale of the Spaniards must have been greatly improved, and relatively speaking, the mentality of the players on their own side will be more or less. Affected, coupled with a lot of game time, so they decided to stabilize their position first.

So, after the lightning goal in the opening ten seconds, the game gradually entered a dull period.

The fights of the players on both sides were mainly concentrated in the midfield, and once the ball was lost, both sides would start a counter-attack on the spot. Naturally, there were more fouls. The referee’s whistle kept sounding, and the game was cut into pieces.

The fans at the scene are a little drowsy, not to mention the Huaxia fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV or computer. It is now more than four o'clock in China time. Fans who have stayed up late to watch football know that if the game is fast-paced, The fluency is high, but once the game reaches a deadlock and becomes dull, the drowsiness cannot be suppressed by drinking a few cans of Red Bull.

Just when many Huaxia fans were yawning, the situation on the field changed, and another goal was scored!

But this time it was Valencia.

The loss this time was due to the opponent's high pressing. After the Spaniard successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt, he counterattacked on the spot. With a simple inverted triangle pass, Valencia's No. 9 striker Gameiro faced most of them. Empty door, easy to push into the net.

Ruby's lungs were about to explode on the sidelines, and he finally equalized the score. The team saw the hope of taking away a point on the road. Unexpectedly, after more than 20 minutes, the goal fell again.

And the reason for losing the ball, to be honest, is the old problem of the Spaniards.

Espanyol is a team that pays attention to pass control, and it is easy not to open big feet or use long distance passes.

Fans who often follow Espanyol's games know that when the team collapses in the backcourt, the scene looks a little thrilling.

Sometimes when the goalkeeper is passed back, the opponent has already pushed up at a high speed, and there are opponents near several points of the ball.

However, in this dangerous situation, the Spaniards will still choose short passes and even crosses in the penalty area, which is frightening to watch.

The same is true for the lost ball just now. The old goalkeeper Diego Lopez still chose to pass the ball when his teammates at the front of the penalty area already had the opponent's player. As a result, the opponent's player accelerated around the front and directly broke the ball. .

At this time, the Spaniard's midfield and frontcourt players had already dispersed and started to attack the formation. As a result, they lost the ball all of a sudden. The result can be imagined.

The opponent took two steps directly into the penalty area and made a kick-up shot. When Diego Lopez was about to go to the ground to save, he turned his ankle and turned into a pass.

The defense in the middle has been completely out of position, Gameiro pushed the shot from close range without being marked, and goalkeeper Diego Lopez has lost his focus and can only watch the football go into the net.

3:2, the home team once again exceeded the score.

At this time, the game time is approaching 70 minutes, and many players are approaching the limit of their physical fitness.

At this time, conceding the ball again, many Spanish players have a feeling that the general trend is gone.

In the remaining 20 minutes or so of the game, Valencia will definitely strengthen its defense, hoping to hold the lead of this point, and it will not be so easy for the Spaniard to equalize the score again.

Wu Lei was also a little helpless. Xia Ruofei's shocking lob shot equalized the score, but because of a mistake in the backcourt of his own side, the point that was about to be won just flew like this.

He is a newcomer who has just arrived, and he can't blame his teammates in the backcourt, so he can only walk towards the middle circle with his head sullen.

Xia Ruofei walked to Wu Lei, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Leizi, the game is not over yet, don't be discouraged!"

Wu Lei said helplessly: "It's really useless to lose the ball like this!"

"It doesn't matter, the game is not about who concedes fewer goals, but who scores more goals!" Xia Ruofei smiled, "Since we are behind now, let's try to score more goals!"

"It's easier said than done..." Wu Lei said with a wry smile.

"So, let's do our best! You can't be discouraged at this time!" Xia Ruofei said.

Then he clapped his hands again and shouted in Spanish: "Guys! Look up! The game isn't over! We're only one goal behind! There's still plenty of time for us to tie or even overtake!"

Although Xia Ruofei is not the captain of the field, he is one of the owners of the club. This special identity, coupled with his amazing free-kick skills, makes his players still have a high prestige.

Xia Ruofei also saw that everyone was a little discouraged and confused, so he stood up in time to boost morale. At this time, the captain Victor Sanchez himself was immersed in deep regret and annoyance.

After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, the players' spirits finally cheered up.

Xia Ruofei said to Wu Lei: "Leizi, after a while, you hand the ball to me, and then just rush to the opponent's half! Run as fast as you can! I will pass the ball to your most comfortable position!"

Wu Lei nodded heavily. He didn't have much confidence in whether the score could be pulled back, but he absolutely trusted Xia Ruofei.

When the time came to 73 minutes, the Espanyol kicked off again and the game resumed!

After Iglesias gave the ball to Wu Lei, Wu Lei took advantage of the situation and passed it back to Xia Ruofei in his right back, and then rushed to the front court without hesitation. He really used the strength to suckle. Came out, and soon surpassed the team's printing center Iglesias.

However, Wu Lei did not stop, even with Valencia's back line in front, he did not slow down at all.

Wu Lei believes that Xia Ruofei can definitely pass the ball, and it is even more impossible for him to be offside.

Sure enough, after Xia Ruofei and his teammates in the backcourt passed the ball back, they quickly raised their hands to ask for the ball. Marco Roca did not hesitate to pass the ball to Xia Ruofei again.

At this time, Xia Ruofei was facing the direction of the goal. He didn't stop the ball, but turned and rubbed it halfway. The football suddenly changed direction and flew towards the front court at high speed.

Just after Xia Ruofei kicked out, Wu Lei also crossed the opponent's back line.

A wonderful anti-offside match!

Valencia's defender, while chasing after Wu Lei, raised his hand towards the linesman, indicating that Wu Lei was offside.

It's just that the linesman saw the ball very clearly. When Xia Ruo flew the ball, Wu Lei was not offside at all, so he was naturally unmoved.

Wu Lei quickly turned his head and glanced at it, only to see the football flying over from his side and landing not far in front of him to the right, and the ball would not accelerate and jump forward after landing, Wu Lei was very comfortable to pick it up.

He took advantage of the opportunity to lead the ball forward, and he saw that there was a flat river in front of him.

However, Valencia's defender was also very fast in chasing back. As soon as Wu Lei started to speed up the ball, defender Voss had already caught up behind him.

Voss pulled Wu Lei's jersey very covertly. Wu Lei was in a stage of accelerating forward. Although it was not very hard, it destroyed Wu Lei's body center of gravity. Wu Lei suddenly fell on the turf. Angrily, he threw his hands towards the referee.

The referee's angle is very good. Although Voss' movements are very concealed, he can just see it from his angle. Therefore, the referee blew the whistle without hesitation and ran to the scene of the incident quickly...
