Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 21 Ugly Football
Chen Xiaoliang seldom participated in the transfer of the ball in the offense, but his teammates were pleasantly surprised to find that the accuracy of his header has improved significantly.

This makes him a lot more reassuring when defending high-altitude balls.

However, when the front court forms a siege, Chen Xiaoliang will still stay behind with the two central defenders, while the old Davis will go forward and serve as the passing hub of the central axis.

Under the siege of Rangers, Dundee United soon became overwhelmed.

In the 13th minute, Captain Tavernier made a two-for-one cooperation with Haji on the right side to break through to the bottom line. The midfielder Aribo competed for the top and was saved by the Dundee United goalkeeper. Kent ambushed at the back point Pick up the leak and shoot into the net,

The score is 1 to 0!

In the next 17 minutes, Rangers maintained the siege of Dundee United, but after 30 minutes, due to the decline in physical strength, the possession rate of the two sides gradually approached.

Dundee United once won four corner kicks in a row, but they were all destroyed by Rangers' impenetrable defense.

In the 39th minute, as the first half of the game was coming to an end, Dundee United's winger Chalmers received a through ball and directly left Barisic behind.

Chen Xiaoliang, who had already predicted that Barisic would lose his position, started ahead of time and caught up with him in the ribs of the penalty area.

Chalmers knew that the boy from the Red Country in front of him had an extremely strong defensive ability, so he didn't bother to fight, and returned the ball to the full-back Nelson behind him. Ge confiscated.

McGregor was eager to launch a counterattack, but when he looked up, the Dundee United players actually blocked the receiving lines of several main players of the Rangers team during their return defense.

Forward Haji and Kent are too far away, and they may not be able to pass the ball to them accurately.

Maybe it was because Chen Xiaoliang had never initiated the Rangers' attack. From the corner of his eye, McGregor found that none of the Dundee United players were within ten meters of Chen Xiaoliang.

The opportunity is not to be missed, once you hesitate for a moment, when all Dundee United players run back to the half, a chance to counterattack will be missed.

McGregor threw the ball directly to Chen Xiaoliang in front of the penalty area. Chen Xiaoliang was also taken aback, but the ball had already been thrown towards him, and he had no time to hesitate.

I saw him stop the ball with a chest and stop the ball three meters away, but fortunately there was no one around him, and others thought he was taking advantage of the trend to play the ball forward, so as to reserve space for himself to sprint.

At this time, Barisic, who was out of position just now, has already advanced at a high speed. Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, with his passing attribute of 5, plus the extra 4 points added by the tacit understanding value with Barisic's full value, he has 9 points of passing ability .

Although it's still not high, it doesn't mean you can't give it a try.

He made a long pass in the direction of Barisic asking for the ball, and the ball flew over impartially.

Chalmers and Nelson, who had just launched an attack in the Rangers' half, had just run near the center line at this time, and it was impossible to catch up with Barisic.

So Balisic caught the ball and went to the bottom line without any defense. After deceiving the defender with a fake pass, he broke into the penalty area and passed it to his teammate Morelos who was outflanking the center.

Morelos blocked the ball with one kick, and the Dundee United goalkeeper missed the goal.

2 is better than 0!

The homeless players gathered around to celebrate, and when Morelos saw Chen Xiaoliang approaching, he hugged him excitedly.

"Chen! This ball is thanks to you!"

Chen Xiaoliang also laughed, and said to Barisic: "I will share half of your assist bonus!"

Barisic touched his head: "Take you to the 'good place' after the game, hi?"

Chen Xiaoliang shook his head, he didn't want to contribute his first time so soon.

In fact, at that moment, he made up a picture in his mind.

Because of the tacit understanding of the full value, when they are in the "good place", he can clearly perceive what Barisic in the next room is doing...

What the hell!

nausea!

The first half ended quickly.

Back in the locker room, the data analysis team gave the statistics of the first half.

Among them, Chen Xiaoliang ranked first in the running distance and steals, 6.6 kilometers and 5 times respectively.

According to this rhythm, he will run about 13 kilometers throughout the game. Assistant coach McAllister asked him how he felt. Chen Xiaoliang said that according to the current offensive intensity of Dundee United, he should have no problem playing for 70 minutes.

On the Red Country Network, due to the signing of an exclusive broadcast agreement, the Dou Mao APP can no longer broadcast any homeless games.

The previous viewers also went to watch Chen Xiaoliang on the live broadcast platform of Penguin Sports.

Since 15:22 in Glasgow is exactly 70:[-] in the evening of Red Country time, and today is Saturday, [-] viewers have already poured into the live broadcast room.

The degree of popularity even pushed the live broadcast room out of the line.

During the intermission, the highlights of the first half were replayed on the screen, especially Chen Xiaoliang's steal and long pass to support the goal, while the barrage was constantly refreshing.

[I thought he could only defend, but I didn’t expect him to pass the ball so accurately]

[That's not true, the action to be taken is calculated from the moment the ball is stopped]

[The Dundee United players are so arrogant, they don't want to guard against such a threatening player. If I were the head coach of Dundee United, I would definitely send someone to defend Chen Xiaoliang]

[I heard that the local media used the Celtics' Japanese striker to compare with Chen Xiaoliang. Does anyone know? 】

[Comparison, no comparison, when the Rangers meet the Celtics, Chen Xiaoliang will definitely give him a clean sheet]

After 15 minutes, the second half began.

Leading Rangers side, Gerrard did not make any adjustments.

Dundee United replaced the winger Chalmers with Powis and changed positions. Powis directly faced Chen Xiaoliang.

During the several fights, Chen Xiaoliang obviously felt that Powis's movements were very big. Even if he made it clear that he could not win the header, he would deliberately take off and hit himself.

And after he grabs the ball, Powis will block him immediately, whether it is a person or the ball, he will always be satisfied with the same kick.

After a foul, the referee warned Powis a few words, and Balisic walked to Chen Xiaoliang and reminded: "Chen, this person is obviously rushing, you have to protect yourself."

Chen Xiaoliang nodded.

The teammates also seemed to have discovered Dundee United's intentions. For a while, the offense was shifted to the captain Tavernier's right.

Even if the ball is passed to the left, try to avoid Chen Xiaoliang.

After all, for him, every opponent is unfamiliar, and it takes time to get used to it on the field, and the passing of football in other places can also keep Powis away from Chen Xiaoliang's side.

No matter how rough a player is, he can't openly invade his opponent without the ball.

However, a scene that Chen Xiaoliang did not expect happened.

In a positional attack at 59 minutes, Barisic received a pass back from Kent and was about to take the ball to the center to find a space. Powis ignored Chen Xiaoliang who stayed in the backcourt to help defend, but went straight to Barry. Sic.

Seeing someone rushing, Barisic hurriedly crossed to Morelos in the middle, but was ejected by Dundee United's central defender, and the ball returned to Barisic impartially.

He jumped up and wanted to fight for the ball, but Powis, who rushed over at high speed, flew directly to head the ball, and hit his forehead heavily on the back of Barisic's head. Barisic fainted immediately, and fell limp on the ground after landing.

The referee immediately stopped the game, and Tavernier immediately called the team doctor to enter the field.Old Davis rushed forward and pushed Powis violently, and Powis did not show any weakness, spraying various human tissues in his mouth, while rushing forward to fight back at old Davis.

Players from both sides immediately gathered together, some scolded each other, and some struggled to separate the two.

In the end, amidst the huge boos of the fans, the medical staff carried Barisic down on a stretcher, and after leaving the field, he was directly taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

And because Powis touched the ball first, he only received a yellow card because of a physical conflict with Davis.
