Chapter 11 Difficult Lead

When the side players of Gosho changed the way they passed the ball, Egman headed the ball more often. In the 28th minute, Hollensten made a cross from the bottom from the right. Because Olympiacos's defense was mainly concentrated in the penalty area and the defense against the cross was not very strict, Hollensten's cross was very calm, and he had enough time to adjust the footwork and landing point of his cross.

This pass was very high. The Olympiacos defenders did not realize that they still defended this pass according to the previous successful defensive method. However, after Papadopoulos took off in front of Egman, they found that although he had jumped to the highest point, he still couldn't beat it. The ball flew over his head from at least one head above his head.

Papadopoulos's heart sank, but when he thought of Melberry and Torosides, who were holding Egman, he thought fortunately that maybe it was just an accident. Egman should not be able to support the ball. Besides, the ball was so high that he might not be able to exert his strength even if he hit it.

When Papadopoulos landed, he looked at Egman, but what shocked him was that Egman jumped high under the pull of Torosides, hit Melbery head, put the ball on his head, and looked at him. Such a high pass did not seem to be his limit.

Egman's body bent into a bow. At the moment of the ball at the top, the bow quickly released a powerful force and passed it to the ball. The ball changed its direction and flew quickly to the upper right corner of the goal. Ulko, the goalkeeper of the Olympiacos, tried his best to make a save, but still did not Being able to touch the ball, the ball crossed his finger and hit the post of the goal heavily.

The ball bounced back to the penalty area, and the right-back Galijos quickly turned around and grabbed the ball out of the bottom line in front of Codingho.

The defenders of Olympiacos looked at Egman in horror. He jumped too high just now. Melberry is also a strong man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, and his bounce is not weak. However, just now, the two jumped at the same time. Egman's jersey was still pulled by Torosides, and Egman was The air was still higher than Melbery, almost hitting Melbery with the momentum of Mount Tai. Moreover, when he had no way to borrow in the air, he only relied on the strength of his waist and abdomen to make a header with good strength, speed and angle.

Fortunately, Olympiacos had good luck. Their goalpost blocked Egman's header, otherwise, their game would not be so easy to play now.

Egman missed a chance to score a goal, but there was no look of frustration on his face. On the contrary, he was very sure that he had found a way to deal with the opponent's defense. Goals were only a matter of time.

Ribeiro took the corner kick. He also took the corner kick higher than usual. Egman grabbed the point again this time, but this time he pulled the ball high by several people.

Then the two sides of the Gosho team sent shells to Egman's head in turn. Most of the passing quality was very good, meeting Egman's requirements, and Egman could basically grab the point. However, due to luck and Urko's brave performance, Egman had not scored yet, but Egman He was not impatient at all, and his face was indifferent.

But the defensive players of Olympiacos are not so relaxed. Every time Gosho's pass, even if they know that they can't hit the ball, they must jump to the top with all their strength, even if it interferes with Egman's judgment. And every time you take off, you have to jump higher than usual and do your best, which is quite tiring.

Other players are better. Melbery and Torosidis, who have a direct physical confrontation with Egman, consume more physical strength. Melbery is 37 years old. This Swedish central defender is experienced, has strong confrontation ability and good header, but the only drawback is that he is too old and has average physical fitness. Although Torosides is in his prime, he has to go all out to fight against Egman every time in defense, which is not the work that ordinary people can do. Therefore, the first half of the game lasted for about 40 minutes. The two central defenders were already physically and mentally exhausted, and they had to bend down and gasp after each defense.

Coach Valverde also saw that it was not good, but he had no good way to solve the current situation. In fact, he was surprised that the back line of the Olympiacos team could support for 40 minutes. These players are already the strongest players in his hand, and they have to solve the defense through substitution. The problem is almost impossible. He is very depressed when he thinks about it. This is the sadness of the small team.

Valverde walked to the edge of the court. He waved his arms to let his players grit their teeth and survive the last few minutes of the first half, and then they could rest. At the same time, he also prepared the team doctors and coaches. As soon as the first half of the game is over, he will immediately massage the players and restore their physical strength.

Just as Valverved was looking forward to his team's ability to survive the first half, Egman gave him a blow.

In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Avanzini took the ball to the front court and knocked the ball back to Ribeiro. Ribeiro sent a pass, which was still higher than usual. Mitroglu in front of him failed to hit the ball after taking off. Egman got rid of Torosides' entanglement and jumped high in the frontal confrontation. He hit Melberry, and then hit the ball powerfully. The ball quickly got into the lower left corner of the goal. Urko had nothing to do with this header.

After Egman landed, when the referee confirmed that the goal was valid, he just waved his hand casually, as if he had just completed a trivial thing, and then ran to his own half.

Lima ran to Egman excitedly: "Your pretentious look just now is very cool. Is it your new celebration? In the future, I will use this celebration move when I score a goal. It must also be cool.

Egman couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to say to Lima seriously, "Well, that's right. You can also use this celebration in the future."

As soon as Olympiacos made a midfield ball, the referee Marenque blew the whistle at the end of the first half. With Egman's goal in the first half of stoppage time, Gosho led Olympiacos 1-0 and entered the halftime.

Valverde looked very ugly. He didn't expect that his defensive tactics had been so painstakingly arranged that he still failed to stop Egman from scoring. Now that the Gosau team is in the lead, this ball is not easy to play. With the offensive ability of Olympiacos, he really didn't have the confidence to break through Gosho's goal to equalize or even overtake.

Valverde went into the locker room and asked the team doctors and coaches to take the time to massage the players. He made up his mind that he still adhered to intensive defensive tactics in the second half. It is not a shame to lose to the defending champion. Even at home, he must lose a few goals, so that he may win goals with the other two teams in the end.

Lin Fenglei was already ready for Olympiacos to launch a counterattack in the second half of the game in the locker room, and also arranged corresponding countermeasures with the players. Unexpectedly, after the start of the second half of the game, Olympiacos still did not leave the hole and carried out intensive defense in the penalty area.

Lin Fenglei was stunned and could only smile, and then signaled the players to continue to play according to the tactics of the first half. The intensive defense of Olympiacos is really pure defense. Even if they want to fight back, there are not enough manpower in the front court. They only have Moroccan striker Zairi in the front court.

In the second half, Goshao still pressed on the half of Olympiacos for half-time offensive and defensive drills. Olympiacos also honestly stayed in their own half and could not come out. They not only basically had no shots, but also had a possession rate. Gosho reached an amazing 71%, making more than 30,000 fans at home. They are all beginning to defect.
