The strongest blade in football

Chapter 100 Drawing Guns and Shooting
After the leave, the two new players from Standard Liege also came to the training ground and started training with the team.

As usual, the assistant coach Preto took them to familiarize themselves with the base facilities, and then met with everyone in the locker room.

One is a midfielder from Brazil, named Carmen Silvia Villaverde Gonzales Reis.

Brazilians speak Portuguese, and they are similar to Portugal in terms of naming, with long names.

After he introduced himself, Wang Nuo didn't remember it at all, and neither did his teammates, so everyone called him Carmen.

Some people also saw him with yellow dreadlocks and nicknamed him "French Fries" in private.

Another new aid is not an unknown person, his name is Mohamed Chit, a Congolese striker from La Liga Santander Racing!

He scored 7 goals in La Liga last season. During the winter break, De Sart worked hard to bring him to Standard Liege!
His style is a bit similar to Wang Nuo's, but he can play both sides, and his physical fitness is also excellent.

So far, the standard Liege striker can be said to be quite bloated.

Mabokani, Camargo, Wang Nuo, Jovanovic, Traore, Gosibi, Qiqi, Colette, Finobia!

So much that I couldn't read it in one breath.

Next season, there will be the return of the super rookie Benteke who has performed brilliantly on loan.

You don't need to think about it, but apart from Jovanovic who has already confirmed to go to Liverpool, there must be someone else who is going to leave.

There are various indications that the probability of Wang Nuo staying is actually not great.

The wish of the confident guy Benteke may come to nothing, and by then, the front trident may become their three Congolese fellows.

Benteke, Mabokani, strange, black and hard trio, the picture should be beautiful.

At the same time, Wang Nuo's former U19 teammate, goalkeeper Lloris was finally brought to the first team by Boloni, temporarily serving as the team's substitute goalkeeper.

Because the original No. [-] goalkeeper Van Holt was recently injured. It is rumored that he accidentally fell to his waist by the pool during the holiday, and he had to be bedridden for two weeks.

Three newcomers came all at once, Wang Nuo is finally no longer the newest rookie in the team!
In the next week, the team has been preparing for the top [-] of the Europa League. Although Panathinaikos is only a team in the Greek League, its strength is still very strong.

The team has won 19 Greek league championships in history, and has also entered the Champions League final once and the Champions League semi-finals twice in history, which should not be underestimated.

They are mortal enemies with Olympiacos in Greece. It is the Greek team that is in the same group as Standard Liege in the Champions League and qualified with Arsenal.

Facing this opponent, the boys of Standard Liege are still quite positive. If they are killed, Standard Liege will advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League!

In fact, this opponent has many special features.

Panathinaikos football club is actually the football division under their comprehensive club. They also have a basketball team called Panathinaikos, which is very strong.

Another example is their usual home stadium, which is the Olympic Stadium that was only built for the 2004 Athens Olympics.

The opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games are held here. Can you imagine what it would be like for a certain team to take the Bird's Nest as their home field?
The atmosphere must be amazing, right?
At 3 o'clock in the evening on March 11, the players of Standard Liege who played away played felt the atmosphere here——

very cool.

First of all, the late night in Athens is really cold, and the cool breeze is whistling.

Secondly, the stadium looked very deserted, and there were quite a few people coming, but there were too many seats.

Nearly 30 fans spread out in the stands, occupying only [-]% of the seats, and most of them were no-man's land.

In addition, the runway between the stands and the stadium increased the sense of distance, so that Wang Nuo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He is used to playing in the fiery atmosphere of Dufrasen, and he does not have the slightest sense of tension that should be expected in the Europa League round of [-].

In this game, Boloni continued to arrange Wang Nuo in the back center position.

Mabo Carney is in front, and the attacking midfielders on the left and right are Camargo and Dufour.

The double midfielders Witsel and Mangala attack and defend, and the full-backs Max and Ferreira on both sides are not bad at attacking.

Standard Liege put on an aggressive look away from home.

They are very courageous, because the home team Panathinaikos has a more luxurious lineup than Liege.

There are many well-known stars in this team, for example, the French international Cisse who suffered two broken legs, the captain of the Austrian national team Ivan Schitz, and the super little demon Ninis.

Their coach, Ten Carter, is a tough guy.

In his player era, he was a hot spot on the wing, and the tactical play concept instilled in Panathinaikos was also extremely violent——

What is defense?Just need to score one more goal than the opponent to win the game!

This is how they beat Rome to the ground in the last round, 3-2 in two games, and sent the Italian home.

This round, they encountered the standard Liege who seemed much weaker than Rome, so naturally there was nothing to say, the tactics were chug chug, shoot and shoot!

At the beginning of the game, the two sides were like cowboys drawing their guns and shooting at each other. You shoot each other to see who falls first.

This game suddenly became a paradise for offensive players and hell for defensive players.

Wang Nuo loves this kind of competition to death!
The opponent's defense has many loopholes, as long as the ball is given to him, he has the confidence to turn the opponent upside down.

Not long after the opening, he relied on his speed to eat the opponent's midfielder No. 34 Linis in the midfield, and he fired a heavy shot from outside the penalty area!
It's a pity that the aim was slightly off, and it flew out from the left column.

After a while, he cooperated with Camargo and Mabokani in a continuous triangle, broke into the penalty area and then shot the ball. The quality of this kick was much better than before.

Goalkeeper Jarinovic flew to save and lifted the ball over the crossbar with a single fist.

Panathinaikos once again resolved the crisis, but Wang Nuo had already had a hunch that he had a high probability of scoring in this game.

The opponent didn't have any targeted defense at all. In stark contrast to the cautious League One team, Wang Nuo played much more freely here.

Of course, the opponent's offensive firepower is also abnormal.

Cisse, who has been hit hard twice and is approaching 30, still maintains a very high level.

He ran like a black whirlwind, and within 5 minutes, two consecutive shots made the Standard Liege defense break out in a cold sweat.

A kick hit the goal and flew to the lower left corner of the goal. This is the most difficult position for the goalkeeper to save. Fortunately, Borat got off the ground faster and pressed the ball under him.

Another kick was a push shot after a breakthrough, which slipped the door and missed by a tiny bit.

Apart from Wang Nuo and Cisse, the others also got a lot of opportunities and made many threats.

Judging from the scene, the two sides fought so hard that they had the possibility of rewriting the score in the next minute.

The emotions of the players on the field were ignited by their respective violent offensives.

The standard Liege midfield was slightly overwhelmed, but they made good use of the sides and the air.

In the 31st minute of the first half, Wang Nuo wandered to the left to take the ball. The opponent's right back Sitaridis turned quickly and blocked his breakthrough line.

Wang Nuo had no choice but to try to cross.

It was Sitaridis again. Unexpectedly, his kick was also very fast, and he stretched his leg to block Wang Nuo's 45-degree cross.

The football kicked off Sitaridis's calf and bounced high into the air, almost as high as three or four stories of a building.

Wang Nuo ran after the ball, carried No. 34 Linis behind him, and grabbed the first spot with difficulty.

He heard several voices shouting from the restricted area behind him, Wang Nuo swayed half of his body and turned his body around.

At this time, Wang Nuo found that Camargo was standing obliquely in front of him, and there were no defensive players around him.

Wang Nuo didn't have time to hesitate. There are many situations like this in training, and opportunities are fleeting.

So Wang Nuo quickly pushed the ball out with the arch of his foot.

This pass was fast and powerful, and was stopped by Camargo before the opponent's central defender arrived.

Without stopping, Camargo rubbed the ball towards the far corner of the goal.

Under everyone's gaze, the football made a beautiful arc in the air, jumped over the goalkeeper, and flew into the goal!
Standard Liege took the lead 1-0!
