Chapter 075 The fatal blow at the last moment

"You did a good job in the first half. In the second half, we will continue to attack Carlos' point. I don't think he can hold on for too long. Once he is open after attacking, we must attack that point resolutely." Fei said.

Ge confirmed this tactical play during the halftime break.

"I think it's better not to have too much hope. The opponent has probably noticed this problem and will definitely make adjustments in the second half." Li Zhao put forward his own opinion. This was also Xiaomi's reminder to him just now, and he also

I feel vaguely worried. No tactic can be successful all at once. Once the situation changes, the original set of tactics may become a constraint.

"Okay, I will pay attention to this. We will change the formation depending on the specific situation at that time." Figo did not care.

In fact, as Li Zhao expected, the Sao Paulo team made changes in the second half. However, they did not replace Carlos. Instead, they replaced him with another defender and moved him to the midfield position. Although there will still be loopholes

, but such a gap is not enough to threaten their defensive position. As a result, while the Sao Paulo team's defensive ability remains unchanged, its offensive firepower has unexpectedly been strengthened.

Only two minutes into the second half, the Sao Paulo team got a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt. Their midfielder Osvaldo shot directly. However, although the ball went over the wall, the angle was not much, and it was eventually missed by Lima.

Confiscated after falling to the ground.

In the 51st minute, Carlos used a chokehold near the center circle to knock down Fanias, who had just intercepted the ball. The referee gave Carlos a verbal warning.

Fanias was not satisfied with the penalty, especially when he saw Carlos' provocative expression. He got up to argue with the referee, but was shown a yellow card instead.

Although Li Zhaohe calmed down under the persuasion of captain Li Zhaohe, it also paved the way for hidden dangers in the future. In the subsequent games, he and Carlos seemed to be working hard, and they had physical friction with each other many times.

In the 55th minute, Li Zhao advanced from the wing and hit the middle. Gabriel followed up and shot from a long distance, but unfortunately the ball went over the crossbar.

In the 58th minute, Li Zhao broke through again and passed the ball. Fanas failed to catch up with the kick due to Carlos's interference. In anger, he pushed Carlos. However, Carlos' temper was obviously not good.

Well, he stretched out his leg and tripped Fanias from behind, which also earned him a yellow card, and Fanias also got one. Because Fanias had already received a yellow card before, so

He was sent off, which is tantamount to bad news for the Portuguese team.

Fanias paid the price for his lack of composure, but the Portuguese team was naturally dissatisfied with such a penalty, so several players, led by Li Zhao, surrounded the referee and asked for an explanation. He naturally knew how to change this

The result cannot be achieved, but the necessary attitude still needs to be expressed, otherwise the referee will think that you don't care, which will be more detrimental to subsequent penalties. Seeing that the effect was achieved, Li Zhao quickly led the players to withdraw. If it is not necessary, he will continue.

Taking cards is definitely not what they want.

However, the atmosphere between the two teams began to get stronger in the following games. Although the situation was passive due to the numerical disadvantage, the Portuguese team still fought tenaciously. When necessary, they would also be smart to use some shots that were not considered fouls.

Small movements are used to delay the opponent. This makes the opponent feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time he does not dare to really get angry, so as not to fall into the opponent's trap.

In the 62nd minute, Osvaldo broke into the Portuguese team's penalty area and shot a pocket shot that hit the door frame and bounced out.

In the 67th minute, Gabriel and Fabiano collided with each other during the midfield battle, and then both fell to the ground. The coaches of both sides were also very nervous about the player's situation. Fortunately, after a while, both of them stood up.

When I got up, it didn't seem to be a big deal.

A minute later, Fabiano was tripped again near the penalty area line, and Sao Paulo won a well-placed free kick.

This ball was very threatening, and it was in the area with the highest chance of scoring. Osvaldo chose a direct free kick. His kick was extremely tricky, and it hit the upper right corner of the goal. Although Lima tried his best to save,

Still couldn't touch the ball.

2-2, Sao Paulo equalized the score. But this was obviously not enough for them. Originally they expected a big victory. But looking at the current situation, this idea is difficult to realize, but winning at home is

Their most basic bottom line. So after the draw, they had no intention of giving up. It would be foolish not to continue attacking while the opponent has one less player.

Subsequently, both teams made substitutions. The Sao Paulo team took Carlos and another defender off the field and replaced them with two offensive players. Their head coach was also afraid that there would be a nightmare situation. The Portuguese side

Normal matchup substitutions, replacing players who are not physically fit anymore.

In the following time, the Sao Paulo team still dominated, and the Portuguese team could only find opportunities to launch a few counterattacks.

In the 74th minute, Osvaldo once again tried a volley from the outside of the penalty area, but his highlight moment was over because the angle of the shot was too straight and the ball was confiscated by Lima.

In the 79th minute, Fabiano advanced to the bottom line on the right side of the Portuguese team and then passed back in an inverted triangle. Alvaro Pereira's shot in front of the goal was blocked by Lima.

In the 84th minute, the Sao Paulo team once again got a free kick opportunity, but this time it was their goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni who took the kick. This veteran is a legend in Brazil. His popularity is second only to

Robinho. Not only does he have excellent goalkeeping skills, but what is even more amazing is that he has a unique free kick skills and has scored more than 100 goals in his career.

Saini's shot was of high quality, but in the end it quietly missed the goal.

"I feel that your opportunity has come, but it will probably appear at the last moment!" Xiao Mi suddenly said with a hint.

Hearing this, Li Zhao also looked in the direction of Saini. Although the goalkeeper made few mistakes, if this situation continues, he may really choose to take a risk in the end.

Time finally entered stoppage time after one minute and one second passed. In the final stage of the game, the Sao Paulo team got a corner kick opportunity, and at this time, Saini also rushed into the Portuguese team's penalty area. Such an operation

It was obviously more dangerous, but they still chose to give it a try.

In the 4th minute of stoppage time, Osvaldo took this corner kick. Ceni also jumped high in the team, but unfortunately he did not hit the ball. The football directly leaked to the back point, and there were very few people in that position.

, but the closest ones were Diego and the opponent's Ganso. Both of them ran towards the football at the same time. In the end, Diego took the first step and passed the ball to Henrik, who was closest to him. The latter made a big move.

The ball was kicked out of the penalty area with his foot.

At this moment, the players on both sides are basically in the penalty area. At this moment, whoever is closest to the outside is the most likely to get the ball. Li Zhao happens to be one of them, and the other one is Dolan who has been staring at him.

Pabon Henrik saw him and kicked this pass. It was also a way to repay Li Zhao's favor for assisting him in the game against Sorocaba. Whether he can succeed depends on Li Zhao's ability.

There were many people running in that direction at this moment, but Li Zhao and Pa Bang were still in the leading position, and both of them were very fast.

From the starting position, Li Zhao was even slightly behind his opponent, but when it came to the desperate moment, Li Zhao's explosive power was much stronger than his opponent's. In the end, he surpassed Pabon first.

Seeing that he could not catch up, Pabon tried to catch him, but unfortunately he found that he could only touch the edge of Li Zhao's clothes, and in the end he could only watch him walk away.

After Li Zhao caught up with the ball, he was already facing an empty goal. However, he did not directly choose a long shot. It would have been too reckless. Since there was no one in front of him, he quickly moved forward with the ball and only secured the ball after reaching the penalty area.

Sent into the empty gate.
