The strongest blade in football

Chapter 76
"Dear viewers, welcome back to the TV and watch the focus match of the 22nd round of the League A brought to you by the Super Sports Channel of the Walloon Region."

"The second half will start soon, Mr. Vicenzo Enzo Scifu and I will still comment on the second half of the game for you."

"We can see that both sides made corresponding substitution adjustments at halftime."

"The home team, Standard Liege, removed the wingers Dalma and Dufour, and replaced them with Jovanovic, who has been deeply involved in transfer rumors recently, and Wang Nuo, who just won the best rookie honor in December."

"Anderlecht also made a frontcourt substitution, and the genius kid Lukaku, who is only 3 months away from turning 17, replaced striker Flotos."

When the commentator said this, he changed the subject, "Mr. Seaford, what do you think of the adjustments made by the two midfielders?"

Xifu is the guest commentator of this game. As a legendary star and double star of the Belgian national team and Anderlecht, he has retired for ten years and still has a very high reputation.

"It's not difficult to see that Standard Liege is ready to go all out in the second half. Jovanovic and the No. 43 rookie usually appear on the field as wingers, and their formation is likely to become 424."

"My guess is that Boloni replaced the two full-backs with wingers, gave up their heavy defensive tasks, and handed over the work that originally belonged to the full-backs to the full-backs and midfielders."

"At the same time, double center forwards become double forwards, take on the task of retreating, and cooperate with the wingers in the inverted triangle at the corners of the two big penalty areas. I have to admit that Boloni is a very courageous coach."

"In contrast to Anderlecht, Jacobs removed a high center forward, and Lukaku who replaced him played more as a winger and a supporting position. He wanted to speed up the striker and wait until Standard Liege attacked in the second half. After coming out, there will be more opportunities.”

"It's hard to say what the game will look like, but there is no doubt that the next game will be far better than the first half in terms of excitement."

"Mr. Xifu, for another highlight of this game, Wang Nuo and Lukaku, who are you more optimistic about the duel between the two newcomers?"

"Hehe, before I was invited to comment on this game, I only spent 2 minutes watching a few highlights of Wang Nuo. I don't know him well. Compared with him, Lukaku is younger. Goal, scored twice against Ajax last month."

"So you are more optimistic about Lukaku?"

"Well, it can be said that I have watched him play a lot. He is a real talent. The Belgian national team can consider calling him."

"Okay, let's turn our attention back to the game and enjoy the wonderful performances of both sides."

……

Wang Nuo spat out the straw in his mouth, squinted his eyes and glanced behind him. The warm winter sun came from there, covering one-third of the court.

That's good news for him, it's going to be a sunny day and it's going to be hard for the opposing players who play against him in the second half to look at the sky.

Therefore, the oblique long pass is a good choice.

Wang Nuo turned his gaze to Witsel again, and the latter noticed Wang Nuo's gaze and gave him a thumbs up.

Before playing, Wang Nuo found Witsel and asked him to pass the ball more.

Originally, the relationship between the two was good, and Witsel lost a bet last time, and owed Wang Nuo something he had to do, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

And according to Boloni's deployment, at the beginning of the second half, Wang Nuo's side is also the team's main attack direction.

How well he plays will largely affect the trend of the game.

Unlike Dufour, Wang Nuo's position is higher, and Anderlecht's marking of him is obviously much tighter.

Soon Wang Nuo felt it.

Less than 2 minutes into the second half, Wang Nuo touched the ball for the first time. He just controlled the ball, raised his head, and then...the ball was poked away.

That was a matter of a split second, and it was fleeting, Wang Nuo hurriedly chased him back.

At this time, the thought in his heart emerged, what happened just now?
Wang Nuo realized that there was a reason why his teammates were oppressed in the first half. Anderlecht's rhythm was indeed two grades faster than the previous League One team.

It's not intuitive enough to look on the bench, but it's only when you actually play.

Wang Nuo told himself that he must also speed up the frequency in all aspects, all actions must be completed quickly, speed up!accelerate!
Wang Nuo devoted 100% of his attention to the game, and it got better in the next few minutes. As he touched the ball more and more times, he gradually found his own rhythm.

Wang Nuo began to make some very personal football moves, such as piercing through the crotch.

It was the counterattack initiated by Standard Liege. Wang Nuo received the ball, and the opponent's No. 5 Biglia rushed towards him.

Lucas Biglia is very confident in his own strength. The 23-year-old Argentine midfielder is the focus of many teams.

This summer, when Harvey Alonso switched to Real Madrid, Liverpool coach Benitez had intended to introduce him to replace the vacancy after Alonso left, but it was rejected by Anderlecht.

It was he who had completed the steal against Wang Nuo just now, and this time, he wanted to get some more benefits from Wang Nuo.

Facing the opponent's high-speed approach to press, Wang Nuo was not at all panicked. He took advantage of Biglia's unsteady footing, decisively pulled the ball with the sole of his foot, and gently flicked it between the opponent's legs.

As expected, Biglia chose to separate his legs to expand the defensive area, which happened to be used by Wang Nuo. When he reacted, he was already passed by the football.

Under the action of inertia, Biglia had no time to slam on the brakes, and Wang Nuo rushed past him quickly.

This time, a clever and clean dribble successfully completed the revenge of the previous steal.

Mabokani and Camargo immediately plugged in at high speed from two different routes. Anderlecht's replacement was very timely. They immediately blocked Wang Nuo's large passing area forward.

Wang Nuo took the ball a few meters away, and Busufa, who scored the first goal in the first half, followed him, intending to force Wang Nuo to pass back.

Wang Nuo would not compromise easily. He pretended to dribble horizontally, looked for the right moment, and passed the ball with his heel.

Played Biglia and Busufa who were chasing back from behind.

Long-lost applause and cheers sounded over Dufrasen. The fans like such a personal show.

Wang Nuo can play pleasing football every time.

Casela received a pass from Wang Nuo while he was running, and without hesitation, he used the instep of his outside foot to lightly slap the ball forward, and the football flew over the heads of Camargo and the opponent's defender, and smashed towards the opponent's hinterland.

Camargo was in good form today. He was the first to touch the football. He shook it briefly, won the space to hit the goal, and immediately took a long shot.

It's a pity that the shooting power was slightly lacking, and the football was lifted out of the baseline by the opponent's goalkeeper with one hand and won a corner kick.

This time the attack was simple and efficient, and almost scored a goal!
Boloni, who was standing on the sidelines, regretted it, but still applauded along with the audience and gave the players a thumbs up.

With the affirmation of the fans and the head coach, Wang Nuo played more freely in the next game.

While he was playing, he was constantly observing.

He found that the speed and aggression of opponents can sometimes cover up flaws and create the illusion that they are not very skilled.

He also found that when Mabokani dropped from the center position to a deeper area, the opposing center backs would run with him.

This means that Jovanovic can take the opportunity to run into the space and form a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Jovanovic's running position is still great.

In addition, Anderlecht's midfield is not monolithic. They like to surround and press, but as long as they get rid of them, they can turn around and open space at their fingertips.

As long as you have enough skills at your feet, freedom is in Wang Nuo's hands.

So, Wang Nuo began to take the ball and frantically hit the opponent's defense zone along the sideline.

Sometimes he walked inside, sometimes outside, his whereabouts like a ghost, and gradually, Anderlecht's wingbacks and left backs couldn't bear it.

They called Biglia, and every time Wang Nuo dribbled the ball, two people would "take care" of him at the same time, one was responsible for the attack and the other was responsible for assisting the defense.

This is generally the treatment that only stars have.

The teammates also saw the changes after the start of the second half. They followed the coach's arrangement, provided support through concise through balls and long passes, and made a big fuss around Wang Nuo's right.

Standard Liege's attack gradually picked up, they were more direct than before, with footballs flying over the heads of the midfielders.

Standard Liege was like waving a hammer, bang, bang, bang, constantly hitting Anderlecht's defense.

At about 10 minutes, Standard Liege has reversed its disadvantages. Their formation has successfully moved forward by more than ten meters, and they have the ability to drive the ball directly to the opponent's penalty area.

Wang Nuo is constantly trying to dribble and break through, the football will occasionally be broken out of the touchline, resulting in a throw-in, and the standard Liege full-back Max can throw an incredible grenade, and they are also starting to take full advantage of this.

The method is very simple -

Max threw a long-distance hand throw and a header was ferried, and then Camargo, Mabokani, and Wang Nuo ran to the far post to grab a spot.

This method was tried three times in a row, and each time it caused a considerable threat to Anderlecht.

In the 66th minute of the second half, Wang Nuo forced the opponent's wingback Gillette on the sideline again, and the latter had almost been passed through a sieve.

In order to prevent Liege from getting the chance to play more and less, he had no choice but to stretch his feet and use a foul to stop Wang Nuo.

Wang Nuo was tripped and fell to the ground. He didn't waste a second, rolled around on the ground and then got up, as if nothing happened.

He won a well-positioned free kick in the frontcourt for the team, this time without Max throwing it with his hands.

Casella took the penalty.

The Anderlecht penalty area was packed, players were pushing each other, and the referee signaled Casella to listen to his own whistle before serving.

Wang Nuo also ran into the penalty area, and he was in ambush at the front.

The team has practiced many set-piece tactics against Anderlecht. Wang Nuo's task is to jump in front and interfere with the judgment of defensive players.

The whistle sounded.

Casella took a few steps back, took a deep breath, took another deep breath, and constantly adjusted his pace. He raised his head and squinted at the penalty area, and he couldn't tell each other apart in such a mess.

But this does not affect anything, he only needs to ensure the speed and arc of the ball, and kick the ball to the direction of the far post.

"Oh!"

A free kick was taken. During the flight, everyone had only one to two seconds to adjust. Wang Nuo leaped high, and the football quickly flew over his head and disappeared into the blind spot of vision.

Wang Nuo didn't know who hit the football. When he landed, there were deafening cheers from the audience.

He turned his head quickly and saw Camargo rushing into the net quickly, picking up the football on the ground.

A voice exploded in Wang Nuo's mind!
Goal!
Let's get it back!
Seeing the excited smiles on the faces of all his teammates, Wang Nuo ran over to hug Camargo, and he did the same.

Camargo hugged Wang Nuo who rushed over, and he yelled at Wang Nuo, "This goal is due to you!"

Wang Nuo didn't care about this, he quickly let go of his hand to save time for celebration.

The Standard Liege players swung the ball back to the center circle, while confidence returned to everyone's faces.

There are still more than 20 minutes before the end of the game, and they will not allow Anderlecht to take away a victory in Dufrasen!
　I will be on the sixth channel next week, and I will write as much as possible!Of course, the speed will still be very slow, please forgive me.

　　Preliminary estimates are that it will return to normal speed within a month.
