Sixty-one minutes.
It’s still Wu Xudong!
He returned to defense at high speed and intercepted Robben from behind who was about to cut inside.
His appearance effectively restricted Robben's performance!
Seventy-two minutes.
Groningen has been unable to threaten, and Sporting Lisbon will start to turn against the visitors.
Cristiano Ronaldo tried to break through several times after holding the ball on the wing, which tortured Groningen's right back until his ankle could no longer bear it.
He draws a lot of firepower.
boom!
Ronaldo passed the ball back to Veloso behind him, then quickly turned around and ran forward.
Veloso kept passing the ball and gave the ball to Ronaldo who was advancing.
This is a simple callback that hits the wall, but it works.
Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball and knocked it horizontally in one step.
Groningen's defense was completely disrupted.
Lorenzo pulled away the defender on the right side of the small penalty area.
Deng Kai stepped in from the back row and held the ball in the penalty area, unguarded.
The Groningen goalkeeper strikes!
Deng Kai took his right foot lightly, rubbed the ground with his toes, and shot with a lob!
The ball flew over the goalkeeper's head towards the goal.
"GOAL! Overtake! Sporting Lisbon overtaken the score!"
"Three to two! Now the pressure is on Groningen!"
"Deng Kai controlled this pick shot just right. He often used pick passes in previous games. This is a player who will often surprise you."
"The camera found young Arjan Robben. The stands in Groningen started singing. This is the fans' adaptation of Robben's song. It can be seen that they have high hopes for Robben!"
In subsequent games, Robben continued to try, and he seemed to gradually adapt to Wu Xudong's defense.
At high speed, Wu Xudong's defensive status is very good.
But once the speed slows down, his shortcomings of not being as defensive as ordinary full-backs are exposed.
In the 79th minute, Robben used a relatively fancy passing move to directly knock Wu Xudong to the ground, who had never seen the world.
The stands immediately burst into warm applause.
It can be seen that the Groningen fans also dislike Wu Xudong, who once froze Robben.
Then Robben broke through and passed Angelo who came to cover.
"Robben hits the goal!"
"Oh! Deng Kai stabbed the football away first!"
"Robben's kick did not hit the football, but hit Deng Kai's back and right shoulder!"
"Deng Kai was clutching his right shoulder, his face was in great pain. The referee stopped the game and asked Deng Kai if he needed a team doctor. Deng Kai was shaking his head. He could still hold on."
"Robben is complaining to the referee. He thinks Deng Kai committed a foul."
"But the referee thought it was a good steal. Deng Kai did not have any physical contact with Robben throughout the whole process. Robben hit the goal a little slower this time, maybe because he wanted to be stronger, so Deng Kai seized the opportunity. "
"Although Deng Kai is short among his peers, he is not a defensive black hole. And... he seems to be a little taller than in the first half of the season?"
Eighty-three minutes.
The Groningen midfielder found Robben with a long pass.
But Wu Xudong and Robben followed too closely, and it turned into two people competing for the high-altitude ball.
In the end, Wu Xudong's NMG muscle quality was even better, and he beat Robben to save the ball.
Eighty-fourth minute.
After Groningen sent the ball from the sideline, he continued to look for Robben. From such a close distance, Wu Xudong certainly couldn't stop Robben from catching the ball.
After receiving the ball, Robben turned and faked twice in succession, successfully hitting Wu Xudong.
Then Robben turned around and broke through.
Beep!
The referee blew his whistle.
Because Wu Xudong brought Robben down.
The collar of Robben's jersey was deformed.
Robben was very angry.
The referee finally took out his pocket and showed Wu Xudong a yellow card.
"It doesn't matter, you did a good job. If there is a next time, you should still do it." Deng Kai came over to encourage Wu Xudong.
Including many players, after receiving a card on the court, they will think that their performance is not good enough.
This kind of thinking may hinder their subsequent performance.
Deng Kai knows the character of Chinese players very well.
Influenced by domestic monsters, the "reflection" trend has been raging among us for decades.
"Why eat cards?
Because you didn't guard against it!
Why didn't you guard against it?
Because you are rubbish!
Why can people defend it without relying on cards?
Taking cards means you are not polite enough or civilized enough!
A yellow card is a shame!
The red card should be retired!
It is a disgrace to the Chinese people!
It has ruined the image of the Chinese people as knowledgeable, sensible and friendly people!
A big chess game that affected the official image layout in the West! "etc.
Deng Kai was afraid that Wu Xudong would think so, so he quickly enlightened him.
There were only the last few minutes of the game left. Wu Xudong used a yellow card to interrupt Robben's offensive opportunity. It was definitely a good deal (remember to spend money on Tao Bao)!
Eighty-seven minutes.
Here comes a scene that worries Sporting Lisbon fans.
Like a god descending from heaven, Robben cut in from the right in advance, avoiding Wu Xudong, and went to challenge defensive midfielder Semedo, who was filling in behind Deng Kai.
Semedo clearly knew that Robben was going to cut inside, but when he faced Robben, he was unconsciously dazzled by Robben's devilish pace.
Only at this moment did he realize how great Wu Xudong, who had been knocked over by Robben many times before, was.
At least his eyesight is amazing.
Whoosh!
The shaking Robben directly dialed the ball, and the ball passed under Semedo's crotch.
The ball passed!
Robben came to the right side of the top of the penalty area and made a forward adjustment for shooting.
Angelo directly raised his leg to block the shot.
However, Robben only pretended to shoot a real shot. After dribbling a step laterally, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow!
boom!
Just when the Groningen fans were expecting Robben's goal, Robben fell to the ground and failed to complete the shot.
He was writhing in pain on the ground.
Someone shoveled him over!
boom!
The entire stadium exploded instantly!
The fans continued to hurl abuse.
Groningen's players also immediately gathered around and became aggressive towards the instigator.
"Oh! This is bad!"
"Red card! The referee directly showed the red card to Wu Xudong! This is a dangerous move, and the key is that Wu Xudong did not touch the football at all and directly tackled Robben!"
"This kind of action should not appear on the football field. However, we can also see that Wu Xudong held back his foot. He did not intend to hurt Robben, but he did go for Robben. He did not want Robben to Complete the shot!"
"But... he stopped Robben's attack. From that angle, Robben's shot was sure to happen."
"I really don't know how to evaluate Wu Xudong's defense."
Huang Jianxiang hesitated to speak. He wanted to say "Xiao Wu is awesome" but was afraid of bad influence.
But Deng Kai didn't have so many scruples. After calming down the anger in Groningen, Deng Kai found Wu Xudong and sent Wu Xudong off the court: "You are good!"
Deng Kai was very sincere and at the same time raised his hands to the few Sporting Lisbon fans in the stands and applauded above their heads.
The fans got the hint and began to applaud Wu Xudong.
He is a hero.
This defense was successful.
The red card was worth it.
Later, Robben personally came to take the free kick in this excellent position.
boom!
Robben's free kick fell on the head of Veloso, who was leaping high.
After falling to the ground, Veloso covered his head and stood up after a long while.
The game then entered stoppage time.
The first minute of added time.
Groningen, which is on the offensive, has another murderous intention.
Robben shook off Angelo and Ronaldo who ran back from the front to cover.
It can be seen from Ronaldo's position that Sporting Lisbon has completely retreated into the penalty area.
Robben dribbles the ball towards the goalkeeper!
Single sword!
At this moment, the words Deng Kai said to him during halftime suddenly rang in Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Pilar's mind.
"You have to pay attention to Robben's left foot. Only his left foot is a threat! And when the near corner angle is not big, he will more often shoot low into the far corner. That is to his left side."
"If he gets a single sword, you have to remember to attack his left side!"
"Pounce on his left side!"
Pilar's eyes flashed, and he was more determined than ever before!
