Chapter 24 The Roar of the Cheetah
After receiving a pass from Tristan, Eto'o passed the ball back, then turned and ran up the field.
Ngonga stopped the ball at his feet, did not split the side, but unexpectedly dribbled the ball forward-his ball-handling skills are actually not bad, it's just that he is old and his physical fitness has declined, so he is not It's easy to move forward...
Germany's traditional scavenger tactics focus on the late scavenger suddenly leading the ball forward, breaking the opponent's one-on-one defensive formation through suddenness, creating short-term local advantages to create opportunities, and Ngonga's basic The old guy who doesn't make much pressure on assists suddenly comes forward with the ball, and to a large extent can play the role of a scavenger forward assist...
Guerrero was dribbled by Ngonga. The golden boy of Bilbao was not good at defending, even though he was six years younger than Ngonga.
After breaking through Guerrero's defense, seeing that the opponent's defensive formation was a little messed up, Ngonga immediately passed the ball decisively to Eto'o who retreated to ask for the ball!
On the training ground, this young black striker has already demonstrated his skills and speed. Eto'o, who has typical black flexibility and physical fitness, is definitely a good player when he dribbles through the top!
Catch the ball, turn around, and force a breakthrough!
Athletic Bilbao's defensive midfielder Gulundez only felt a black shadow flashing in front of his eyes, and then rushed past him immediately - so fast!
When such a thought flashed in his mind, Grunders' body reaction was ahead of his mind's reaction, almost subconsciously, Grunders turned around halfway violently, and then stuck to him and was about to rush from his side Eto'o, who had passed, hit the opponent hard, and at the same time, Gulundez went to tackle Eto'o's foot ball!
Eto'o doesn't look strong, and Gulundes feels that his move will definitely make the opponent lose the center of gravity. Even if the center of gravity is only affected, the speed of dribbling the ball will slow down, not to mention that the steal may be able to break the opponent directly. ball...
Neither of the two outcomes Grunders envisioned came about.
When he bumped into Eto'o, Eto'o, who didn't look strong, contained great strength in his body, and he leaned slightly to the side. Eto'o's center of gravity was not affected, and the ball moved forward at the same time. Taking a step, dodged Grunders' outstretched foot, then accelerated again, leaving Grunders behind!
After getting rid of the opponent's midfielder, Eto'o caught up with the ball in two strides, and Tristan in front tried to use his body to block the two defenders of Bilbao, leaving Eto'o Space to shoot!
After seeing this scene, Eto'o no longer hesitated. Although he may have a chance to break into the penalty area, the opponent's defensive formation is not in chaos. It is better to kick directly!
While running, Eto'o swung his right foot and shot the ball fiercely!
With the beating of Eto'o's right thigh muscles, the stressed ball suddenly lifted off the ground like an angry dragon with teeth and claws, and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
As I said just now, Athletic Bilbao's defense is not messed up-this means that there are enough players in front of Bilbao goalkeeper La Fuente, plus a Tristan who keeps interfering- He could barely see Eto'o!
And Eto'o's long shot almost went directly at Tristan!
Eto'o didn't tell Tristan to dodge, because when shooting, if he opened his mouth and yelled, the power of the shot would be affected if he vented his anger, and the ball flies very fast. He didn't have time to shout out...
But Eto'o believes that Tristan can make accurate judgments. During this period of getting along, Eto'o knows that although Tristan is big and usually has a simple-minded appearance, his reaction is absolute. Not slow!
His judgment was correct - facing the ball flying directly towards him, Tristan immediately relaxed his muscles, let go of the two Bilbao defenders who were wrestling with him, and then slammed his body towards Off to the right...
The ball with the sound of the wind flew past his ears immediately, and the wind brought by the ball shook Tristan's eardrums, which shows how powerful Eto'o's long-range shot is!
With Tristan's pass, La Fuente immediately saw the ball shot from him!
However, it is too late to react at this time - the distance between the penalty area line and the goal is 16.5 meters, and it takes less than a second for the ball to reach the goal line. React and complete save moves!
Lafuente reacted, but when he raised his hand to the ball, he found in despair that it was still a little short...
Lafuente, who didn't want to give up, stretched his arms as hard as he could in the air, and then he felt a slight touch on his fingertips-he touched the ball!
The overjoyed Lafuente was about to push the ball with force, but the familiar touch disappeared instantly—that is to say, when he touched the ball, the ball had already flown out of his control range, and he To be able to do it is nothing more than letting the ball fly out obliquely just a little bit...
"I hope I can block the bottom line..." La Fuente began to fall, thinking in his heart, but he immediately heard a familiar "swish..." from behind him
La Fuente's heart instantly turned cold!
The whole stand instantly became silent!
The roar of hundreds of Mallorca fans sounded from an almost forgotten corner of the stands...
At that moment, the world almost froze - the Mallorca fans who were about to jump up, the Bilbao fans who put their hands on their heads, Fernandez who opened his mouth wide, and Eto'o who hadn't finished shooting, were falling La Fuente...
Jose opened his arms and let out a loud roar!
Everything that had been solidified began to come alive. Mallorca fans jumped up one after another, Bilbao fans hugged their heads, Fernandez's face showed bitterness, and La Fuente fell heavily...
There is also Eto'o who retracted his shooting action, opened his arms and roared towards the field!
"The goal... the goal was scored! Beautiful long-range shot, the world wave! Mallorca took the lead again! The goal was a 19-year-old Cameroonian who had just been replaced by Mallorca coach Jose Alemani Forward Samuel Eto'o! After Jose took office, he only brought in one player, and that was Eto'o on loan. In the previous two league games, Eto'o came off the bench and contributed an assist. This is his He came off the bench for the third time, and he scored a goal in less than two minutes!" Hidalgo roared loudly, this long-range shot was really wonderful!
The current broadcast does not have the instruments of the later generations that can immediately calculate the flight speed of the ball, so Bonnes, the technical streamer, can only say: "It is really exciting... In fact, the angle of this long-range shot is not very tricky. , but wins in speed and suddenness! Let's take a look at slow motion... When the ball flew over Tristan's head, even Tristan's hair moved in the direction of the ball's flight... If it is long hair That's fine, but Tristan has short hair! It can make the short hair shake obviously, and the power of this shot is really strong..."
In the absence of technology, Bones vividly explained to the fans why he thought Eto'o's long-range shot was so powerful... At least when the broadcast camera turned to Tristan's face celebrating on the pitch When he was on the stage, looking at his short hair, countless Mallorca fans watching the TV broadcast fell to the ground laughing!
Off the field, Eto'o used his speed to throw away all the Mallorca teammates who wanted to catch up with him, rushed directly to the coach's bench, and then hugged Jose with open arms!
"Good job, Samuel!" Jose happily patted Eto'o on the back, and scored as soon as he was replaced. Eto'o fully demonstrated his value!
Although such a long shot is an atypical Eto'o goal, Jose believes that with such a good start, Eto'o will continue to dedicate his iconic goals, Bring fresh air to Mallorca and bring another style of attack!
There is no doubt that this goal is extremely important to Eto'o himself and this game!
Although Eto'o came on free loan, and even half of his salary was paid by Real Madrid, but in any case, if a newly joined striker cannot score goals for a long time, it will definitely have a great impact on his development. Obstruction - now that Eto'o scored a goal, or scored as soon as he came off the bench when Mallorca was in a stalemate - with this kind of start, Eto'o's future in Mallorca is not good or difficult!
And for this game, the goal that equalized just two minutes after conceding the goal is also extremely important!
If it is said that Guerrero's goal grabbing equalized the score and at the same time gradually tilted the balance of victory to Bilbao, then the goal two minutes later was another victory for Mallorca. While taking the lead, it also tilted the balance of victory towards Mallorca!
There is no doubt about this!
Just escaped from death, and then scored a goal to see the hope of victory. When his fighting spirit was high, he was scored by the opponent within two minutes. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over my head, it was cold from the skin to the bone!
The blow of this goal is even bigger than the blow that has been lagging behind before!
Although Bilbao, under the leadership of Guerrero and others, mustered more courage to attack Mallorca, but Mallorca, who was more and more courageous in the Vietnam War, turned and beat him in his own half - Marlow In this case, the old guys in the card, their rich experience let them know that this is a good time to beat the dog in the water...
So although most of the old guys have become very slow in running, they have suppressed Bilbao. The most important thing is that several offensive players in Bilbao are not too young. They also consumed a lot of physical energy in the process of Lorca... Mallorca is not very afraid of the opponent's counterattack, but wants to expand the lead again before then!
In the 78th minute, Mallorca sealed the victory!
In the face of the opponent's overall shrinking defense, Eto'o pulled out of the penalty area, and Ngonga immediately passed the ball to him!
Stankovic is good at crossing and breaking through from the side. Ibagaza is also better at breaking through from the side. He wants to break through the middle to break the deadlock. Maybe this guy who came on loan has more ways...
Eto'o did not disappoint Ngonga. After receiving the ball, Eto'o immediately dribbled the ball and forcibly broke through the penalty area!
Accelerate, change direction, break through!
Eto'o dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and then shot with his left foot in the first place!
The ball flew halfway and was blocked by Bilbao's defender. The ball bounced into the air. Tristan grabbed the first point to meet the ball and shook his head to attack the goal. La Fuente fell backwards With a push with both hands, Tristan's tricky header was pushed back into the penalty area. Just when Bilbao's defenders were about to clear the siege, a small figure appeared in the penalty area, facing the falling ball. The ball that came down quickly stretched out his foot and poked it...
"GOOOOAL! Goal! Three to one! It was Ariel Ibagaza! The Argentine was the shortest player on the pitch, yet he took the first point in the chaotic penalty area! This goal The goal was very similar to the one scored by Guerrero, but this goal brought Bilbao people endless pain... Mallorca won! After being equalized, they quickly stabilized the situation , and gained enough advantage!"
The short Argentine ran excitedly on the court, followed by a group of equally excited teammates. This victory was the most difficult victory since Jose took office. However, after the difficult process, The sweetness of victory is even more memorable!
Jose raised the four fingers of his right hand high - after taking office, Jose maintained his winning streak!
What makes him even more excited is that Eto'o's key goal is enough to prove that his transfer decision is correct!
The cheetah from Cameroon finally let out his first roar in Mallorca!
