Chapter 66 Ribeiro's Atonement

The referee Brickley's whistle sounded. He ran to the site of the accident, pointed his finger at the penalty spot, and did not hesitate to award the penalty. Then he called Thor and showed him a yellow card. Several Eindhoven players gathered around and signaled to Brickley that Thor had not fouled the ball and should not give a penalty, but the ball was very close to the site of the incident. He could see clearly that Thor did trip over Egman, and Egman had already entered the penalty area at that time, so it was undoubtedly a penalty. He resolutely motioned the players of Eindhoven to withdraw from the penalty area and let the Gosho team take the penalty.

Lin Fenglei stood up from the coach's seat. He was very happy that in this stalemate, if he could use this penalty to take the lead, the game would be much easier.

Stevens looked very ugly, and the penalty disrupted all his deployments. He has attached great importance to Egman. He didn't expect that he could still use his personal ability to pose such a big threat to Eindhoven's goal. He is really a terrible shooter.

Ribeiro ran over from the backcourt, and he was ready to take the penalty. He carefully put the ball on the penalty spot, and then stepped back a few steps, waiting for the referee's whistle. And Eindhoven's goalkeeper Cassio jumped back and forth on the goal line, trying to interfere with Ribeiro.

Brickley's whistle sounded, Ribeiro took a deep breath, and then began to run. When his right foot was raised and fell, Cassio rushed to the left side of the goal, but Ribeiro pushed a ground ball in the middle. Just as the ball was about to enter the goal, Casio stopped the momentum halfway. He dragged The right foot in the back blocked the ball out of the goal, and Eindhoven's midfielder Struman quickly rushed into the penalty area and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

The fans of Eindhoven, who had been suppressing themselves from making any sound in the stands, suddenly cheered loudly. They gave their applause to Casio without hesitation. This save was really wonderful, and it also saved Eindhoven. After a short silence, Gosho's fans also began to sing and cheer for their team.

Stevens jumped up from the coach's seat at the moment Cassio saved the penalty kick. His ability to make such a move shows how excited he is and how eager he is to get the trophy.

Lin Fenglei looked at Stevens and sat back in the coach's seat with a blank face. Although he was a little depressed, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, no matter how good the penalty is, it is impossible for a person to have a 100% success rate.

Ribeiro held his head in his hands, as if he couldn't believe that he would lose the penalty. Avazzini walked up to him and said to him, "Hugo, don't worry too much about it. When everyone conceded a penalty, I lost a penalty several times, which is not a big deal. There was no penalty for this penalty. As long as we work hard, we can still win the game. Now go back to your position and play the game below. With that, he patted Ribero on the shoulder.

Ribeiro put down his hands. He looked at his captain, nodded gratefully, and then ran back to his defensive position.

After the game restarted, the scene still hasn't changed much. The Eindhoven players spared no effort in the midfield, making it difficult to organize the attacks of both sides. The game was not smooth and was frequently interrupted by Brickley's whistles, most of which were Eindhoven's. The player fouled. Their foul moves are generally not big. They won't get a yellow card, and they won't foul in the dangerous zone. They are basically fouls near the center line or on the side. In short, it is to make the Gosho team's attack unorganized.

Lin Fenglei smiled bitterly off the court, which seemed to be the tactic he used to deal with strong teams such as Barcelona, but he didn't expect to be used by Stevens on himself now. Not to mention, this kind of tactic is very effective against strong teams with excellent ball control.

Lin Fenglei once again walked to the sidelines. He motioned his players to reduce the dribble and try to play the ball as much as possible. The players in the midfield and front court should increase the number of ballless runs, and the two full-backs should also actively assist, striving to achieve at least two receiving points around each team member. In addition, he also instructed Antunović to increase the front and strengthen his attack, because now that Eindhoven does not set up a front-back player, and it is a waste of his offensive ability to let Antunović stay in the backcourt.

After the tactical adjustment of Gosho's team, Eindhoven suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Gosho's two wingers, Avanzini and Horensten, are both players who can play on both sides. They have now added interspersed positions, which makes Eindhoven a lot more difficult to defend, while in Antunowić. After the front insertion, although the three players in the middle of Eindhoven can still support it, they are no longer able to support the side road.

With Ribeiro and Gugleman's frequent assists, the two sides of Eindhoven began to be in a hurry. Stevens saw this situation and has no good way for the time being. After all, the personal strength of Eindhoven's current players is no longer comparable to that of the Gosau team. He can only let his players take the initiative to recycle and shrink the defense zone. In this way, due to the small area of defense, Eindhoven's defense is temporarily stabilized. But the price of this is that Eindhoven has completely given up the midfield competition and is completely on the defensive.

Lin Fenglei looked at Eindhoven's iron barrel array and couldn't help sneering. Do you want to defend Gosho's attack with such a defense? Don't you know that Gosho has the sharpest weapon in dense defense - Egman?

After taking the initiative on the scene, the Gosho players gave more support to the front court, and Egman also got more opportunities. However, because Eindhoven always had two people following him, and Eindhoven's goalkeeper Cassio was in an amazingly good state today, he saved two Egman's shots, so Egman hasn't scored yet.

In the 33rd minute, Gosho launched another attack. Avazzini carried the ball to the front court at high speed. After encountering the defense of the other two opponents, he knocked the ball back to Ribeiro, who came forward and assisted. Ribeiro directly raised his left foot and sent a 45-degree oblique long pass. Egman rushed to the first header and rushed to the top. This time, Murdel and Thor Neither of them pulled Egman. Egman's powerful header pushed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. Cassio had no choice but to face this close-range strong header. Although he had stretched his hand as much as he could, he was still a little close to reach the ball.

After the goal, Egman rushed to the stands of Gosau fans crazily. Thousands of Gosau fans who came to the scene to support the team shouted Egman's name with the loudest voice, cheering for the striker who repeatedly helped Goshao open the door to victory.

Lin Fenglei also jumped from the coach's seat. This goal is too important. The game behind Gosho is better. If Eindhoven still wants to win, they have to suppress it, which also means that Gosho has more opportunities.

Stevens is a little frustrated. He also knows that Eindhoven's current strength can't be compared with that of Gosho, so his plan is to at least keep the first half without losing the ball, so that his tactics in the second half have more room for manoeuvre. Originally, his tactics were very successful in the first half of the first half, but he didn't expect that Lin Fenglei had to follow the rhythm of the Gosho team after a tactical adjustment.

Thinking of this, he looked at the excited Lin Fenglei. He didn't expect that such a young head coach had such a deep knowledge in tactics. Of course, this is also because Lin Fenglei's hand is better than his own, so he has more tactical choices, and there are only such cards in his hand, and others have to pour out a little more.

Stevens's heart is a little sour. It's because the club's investment is not big enough. If he has a good hand like Lin Fenglei, I believe he will not lose to him tactically.

Thinking about it, Stevens didn't forget to command the game. He walked to the sidelines and gave instructions loudly to the players
