Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 43 Give up?

The moment Castro kicked, Zheng Long realized that the opponent wanted to punch through the swing.

Zheng Long became a little angry.

If you take a normal shot, forget it.

I also want to play crotch-piercing ball, and want me to be the background emperor.

fuck you!

Zheng Long squatted down on one knee immediately, and at the same time fished down with both hands.

When Castro finished shooting, he was overjoyed.

This ball is done well by itself, very hopeful to score!
It was just this good mood that Castro maintained for a second.

In the next second, he saw his ball was firmly held by Zheng Long, and then he moved forward, pressing the ball in his arms, without giving any chance to miss it.

Castro immediately regretted it again.

Damn!

I shouldn't have been too big at the time, and wanted to kick the ball through the crotch.

If you hit the opponent's near corner, or a lob shot, the goal will be scored!
Castro grabbed his head with both hands, deeply regretting.

Jorge Mendes became a little excited when he saw Zheng Long's save just now.

Although Castro's shot just now was not very fast, and the angle was not too tricky.

But for the goalkeeper, this kind of crotch ball is also a very troublesome shot.

Because for a tall goalkeeper, it is not easy to squat down in time.

If you use your feet to shift, it is easy to refract back.

Once the bounced ball is picked up again by the opponent, it will be difficult for the goalkeeper who lost his center of gravity to adjust back to make a save.

It is also troublesome to pick it up by hand.

It is already difficult to squat down. At this time, you have to catch the ball with your hands, and it is very difficult to catch the ball.

It is often seen in the game that the goalkeeper touches the ground with both hands, and the ball is dropped, and the opponent seizes the opportunity to score a goal for this reason.

This Zheng Long is very confident to catch the ball, and he catches it so steadily.

Something to watch!

Jorge Mendes, who was still a little impatient, sat up straight at this time, leaning forward slightly.

He wanted to take a closer look at the China goalkeeper.

Judging from the current situation, Zheng Long's level is considered good, but there are a few Chinese goalkeepers of this level.

Zheng Long is not outstanding.

He still needs to show better performance in order to attract the attention of the giants.

It's not just Jorge Mendes who has this idea, many scouts and agents in the audience have the same idea.

The game continued, and the mistake just now made the head coach Popovich very annoyed.

He stood courtside, put his hands to his mouth, and yelled. "Pay attention to defense, first stabilize your defense. Do you understand? Do a good job of defense and don't rush forward!"

Hearing the coach's call, the Zaragoza players no longer thought about rushing in easily, and chose to advance steadily.

Zaragoza, which has strengthened its defense, made it impossible for Real Betis to easily hit the ball into the penalty area and create a threat.

For a while, the game entered a state of anxiety, and the possession of the ball changed repeatedly in the midfield.

The few times shots were either fired anti-aircraft guns, or were directly blocked by defenders on the sideline, there was not much threat.

Although there is no threat, it is impossible for Zheng Long to stand in front of the goal at this time.

He needs to move around frequently to change his position in front of the goal, so as to prevent the opponent from making a sudden shot.

Time passed minute by minute, the 44st minute was approaching the end of the first half.

Just when fans on both sides thought the first half would end in a tie.

Taking advantage of the momentary laxity of the Zaragoza players, Real Betis changed their previous style of play and suddenly launched an attack.

Reyes long teleported to the feet of Sejudo on the wing.

With a simple triangular fit, Saiyudo got rid of Doka's defense and rushed to the right line with the ball.

It's been 3 rounds, and now the opponents know that Zaragozad's right back D. Rico is the weak point.

Real Betis is breaking through here, looking for opportunities.

Seeing the opponent's sudden attack, he broke through to the right back Rico.

Everyone, including Zaragoda, including the head coach, was nervous.

Popovich quickly yelled loudly, signaling the players to return to defense quickly.

"Stop him!" Popovich almost roared, but he didn't expect the opponent to attack suddenly.

In a short time, Saiyudo rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area with the ball, and Rico chased after him panting, but he never caught up with him.

Saiyudo glanced to the left, there is still a lot of space.

With a sudden brake, the outer instep of the left foot hooked the ball.

Saiyou changed direction and entered the penalty area.

Sayudo braked suddenly, Rico didn't stop, and rushed over directly.

Seeing that the opponent was about to slip past him, Rico, who was in a hurry, directly grabbed Saiudo.

The hurried whistle sounded, the referee came over and gave Rico a yellow card directly, and Real Betis got a set kick in the frontcourt.

The set-piece had no time to run, but three or four players from Real Betis surrounded them.

They all felt that a yellow card for Rico was too light, and it was definitely a red card.

However, the referee did not change the sentence.Although Real Betis had a good chance just now, Rico was not the last defensive player in Zaragoza at the time, and a yellow card is definitely reasonable.

Seeing that the referee refused to change the sentence, the Real Betis players dispersed and ran into Zaragoza's penalty area, ready to set the ball.

As the whistle blew, Reyes hit a high-quality curveball.

"This set-piece, Reyes took the penalty very well. The arc is low and flat, just enough to bypass the Zaragoza team's wall, and the speed is very fast.

Near the point where the ball landed, we saw that the two central defenders of Real Betis had long been ready to go.This set kick will be a test for Zaragoza's defense. "

"If Zheng Long chooses to attack at this time, he should be sure to hit the football out of the penalty area. But we can see that Zheng Long is still standing firmly near the goal line, and has no intention of attacking at all."

"We saw a player from Zaragoza's central defender rush up quickly. Take off! He grabbed the first spot!"

"Oh, no! It's dangerous. Real Betis' center forward Molina suddenly jumped out and grabbed the spot. He swung his head and headed the ball towards the near corner of the goal!"

At first, Zheng Long thought that his teammates would be able to grab the spot. He didn't go up to fight with his teammates, so as not to make mistakes and interfere with the opponent.

But what he didn't expect was that the teammate's header clearance this time was very bad, and they all wanted to help the opponent and sent the ball to the opponent.

It was too late and then too soon, there was not enough time for Zheng Long to think wildly.

Seeing the black shadow, he rushed over immediately.In the air, Zheng Long tried his best to stretch out his arms to block this dangerous header.

"boom!"

It should be said that Zheng Long had good luck!
Although the incident happened suddenly, due to the good position selection before, Zheng Long, who rose into the air, finally touched the ball.

After the ball changed direction, it hit the crossbar heavily, rebounded and fell.

"Zheng Long saved Zaragoza again with his incredible reflexes, which should have been a must!"

"Dangerous! After the football hit the ground, it rebounded and fell back to Zaragoza's goal!"

"The Zaragoza player failed to win the ball, the Real Betis centre-back Gonzalez got the ball! He headfirst into the ball!"

"ball……"

The commentator kept holding back his words, and they all stood up and waited anxiously for the result.

Zheng Long has already been slapped in the face many times, and now he has to wait until the ball is saved or rolled into the net.

He will yell.

Seeing that Gonzalez was about to head the ball, Zheng Long had just landed!
"Damn it. Too late!"

I just landed.

At this time, where can I stand up in time to fight the rescue?

give up?
