Deng Kai moved widely and found Viana who was empty on the left.
Viana stopped the ball and passed back.
With the continuous running of Ronaldo and Viana, Viana's original left rib position was completely vacated.
Matthäus stepped in from the back and shot with a blast.
The German cannon is fine if it doesn't fire. Once it fires, it's often a killing move.
"GOAL! Matthäus! That's amazing! This long-range shot is earth-shattering!"
"Matthaeus breaks the deadlock and gives Sporting Lisbon the lead!"
"The long shot broke the iron barrel! In fact, as Gaziantep's two counterattacks failed to advance to the dangerous area, we knew that the balance of victory had come to Sporting Lisbon."
"Under siege, it was only a matter of time before a goal was scored."
With this goal, Sporting Lisbon will have a lot of fun next.
Thirty-seven minutes.
Deng Kai and Quaresma switch positions.
Viana passed the ball to Quaresma. Quaresma and Drogba, who was pulled out, cooperated with each other and then went straight into the right side of the penalty area.
Deng Kai and Quaresma thought of going together, and he caught the ball near the baseline.
Because they have entered the penalty area, the opponent does not dare to foul easily.
Deng Kai caught up with the ball and pulled it back, turning his back and spinning sideways.
The centre-back, who was rushing towards the ball through his crotch, moved along the baseline towards the goal.
As soon as Deng Kai touched the opponent, he ran outside the baseline and completed a beautiful pass.
Drogba rushed into the penalty spot to ask for the ball.
He's in a very good position.
He drops back and then inserts, with no actual defender around him.
But again, everyone is looking at Drogba, rushing towards him, or trying to block the inverted triangle passing route between Deng Kai and Drogba.
boom!
Deng Kai watched Drogba twitch his left foot.
The football passed under the crotch of the defender who was coming from behind.
If Deng Kai looks for Drogba, this is a perfect steal.
But Deng Kai...
The football sweeps in front of the goal, moving almost parallel to the goal.
At the latest, the distance from the goalkeeper was even less than one meter.
As long as the goalkeeper is prepared, he can catch or kick the ball away.
However, everyone's attention, including the goalkeeper, was on Drogba. How could they expect that Deng Kai would make an outrageous cross in front of the goal?
Especially when Deng Kai passed the ball, he didn't even completely run into the baseline. His horizontal position overlapped with the goal post, and the goalkeeper couldn't be seen at all.
How could he be so sure that a pass so close to the goalkeeper would not be confiscated by the goalkeeper?
Too much thinking is decided in the blink of an eye.
boom!
Behind the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo came in and pushed the ball towards the ball.
Although the angle is not big, the victory is in the empty goal, and there is no need to consider the goalkeeper's reaction.
Therefore, the difficulty of shooting is small.
"GOAL! Cristiano Ronaldo! Deng Kai assists Cristiano Ronaldo to score! Beautiful cooperation!"
"Deng Kai deceived the whole world, including his teammate Drogba! Drogba even made preparations for shooting in advance!"
"Only Cristiano Ronaldo knows what Deng Kai is thinking. He is indeed a player who has played together since youth training. They have telepathy!"
"Two to zero! Sporting Lisbon expanded its lead."
Forty-one minutes.
Quaresma's long shot from outside the penalty area earned the team a corner kick.
His corner kick was headed by Drogba, but the football hit the opponent's defensive player and was cleared.
Or a corner kick.
Deng Kai took a corner kick, and the Gaziantep center back fought for the top spot, which was still a corner kick.
Continuous corner kick offense looks very powerful, but in fact it is often a precursor to conceding the ball.
Deng Kai not only had to consider attacking this corner kick, but also wanted to avoid being won by the opponent, so he couldn't make too risky an attempt.
This is why many teams look for the same point when they receive multiple corner kicks in a row, which makes them appear somewhat rigid and lack variety.
If it doesn’t change, it will be stable.
Deng Kai kicked out.
In the middle, Fonte, Barzagli, Drogba, and Ronaldo took off almost at the same time, forming a human wall in the air.
Drogba jumped the highest and had the best luck, he found football.
Uh-huh!
The football simply goes into the net.
"ah!"
Drogba is so excited!
Drogba, the French player from the African Elephant Cote d'Ivoire, finally broke his scoring drought and scored another victory for his new club.
Beep!
The linesman raised his flag.
The referee blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was invalid.
The referee believed that Drogba committed an obvious offensive foul. The reason why he jumped so high was because he overturned the defensive player and used the opponent as a stool to take off.
Sporting Lisbon players surrounded the referee, but they could not change the referee's decision.
Drogba's whole soul was gone.
His first goal still hasn't come.
But in this team, someone in the frontcourt has scored two or three goals.
He is anxious!
The last minute before half-time.
The two veterans in the backcourt showed off.
After Matthäus and Deschamps hit the wall and cooperated, he dribbled past the defender and created a huge threat in the middle.
Ronaldo, Viana, Drogba, Deng Kai and Quaresma all fired five arrows.
Matthäus gave random directions.
Among them, Deng Kai is slightly slower and his movement is deliberately close to Drogba's direction.
It seems that the one defended by two is the tightest.
But can a legendary midfielder like Matthaus see Deng Kai's intentions?
boom!
Matthäus made a direct kick.
Directly at Drogba's feet.
But the force and speed of the pass didn't seem to be for Drogba.
too fast.
If Drogba stops the ball in a hurry, it is possible to stop the ball at the national football level.
"Oh, why did Matthaus pass the ball like this? This is obviously unwise?" Maxa can now understand some football occasionally. He feels that Ronaldo on the left and Quaresma on the right are in much better positions. They catch the football almost 100% of the time.
Or give it to Viana. Viana is far away from Drogba. The defensive players in front of him move closer to Drogba in order to take care of Drogba, who is the most threatening.
Triguera shook his head in a low voice: "Now that Matthäus holds the ball, he has almost pushed the threat or the attack to the seventh gear. If it is passed to Ronaldo or Quaresma, the offense is actually still in the seventh gear, or even It became sixth gear.”
"You can score in every gear, but the higher the gear, the greater the chance of scoring."
"It doesn't matter that Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma are in deeper positions. They seem to be more dangerous, but in fact they are further to the side. The threat of crosses from the wing is always lower than the threat of passing the ball from the center."
"If you give Viana, it is possible to upgrade the offense to the eighth gear. But the eighth gear also has good and bad qualities."
"The center back on the right side of Viana seems to be closer to Drogba, but he is facing Viana. Before Viana receives the ball, he can run in front of Viana and cannot defend directly. Lost position."
"In this case, it depends on Viana's one-on-one ability or quick reaction, which is not a tactical success."
