Chapter 435

Chapter 435

Dzeko opened the scoring in Maritimo, temporarily leading 1:0.

But Dzeko, who had been holding back for too long, did not stop his performance.

In addition to being able to attack cities and overthrow strongholds in positional warfare, he also possesses exquisite foot skills that are not commensurate with his tall stature.

In the 34th minute, Maritimo got the ball in the backcourt and quickly counterattacked.

A long pass in the backcourt that seemed to be a big foot clearance, but it directly hit the heart of the opponent's defense in the frontcourt.

Dzeko was like a running bull, rushing towards the ball.

His height and weight, under full sprint, are very impactful.

He left behind the central defender Hugo Bestu who had been defending by his side.

In desperation, Hugo wanted to stretch out his hand to pull, but he didn't know that Dzeko's impact was far beyond his imagination. His strength was weakened, but his center of gravity was unstable, and Dzeko brought him to the ground.

Dzeko took one person down, but he was unmoved.Get the ball and keep going forward.

At this time, he has reached the front of the penalty area, and only another central defender, Philippi, is retreating and defending in front of him.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina striker was extremely calm. While dribbling the ball, he suddenly knocked the ball forward to the left. The defending Ferrypi subconsciously stretched out his foot to poke it. Unexpectedly, Dzeko followed with a coherent movement, followed by his left foot, and knocked the ball forward to the right again.

The ball changed lanes twice in an instant, and Dzeko also successfully fooled the defenders and completed a breakthrough.

The extraordinary movements are coherent and smooth, and the frequency is extremely fast. It is hard to imagine that this is a movement that a center forward with a height of 1 meters and a weight of 93kg can make.

Dzeko, who has been so successful, has entered the penalty area.The penalty area is his territory. He is extremely calm, he doesn't look up, and he doesn't make unnecessary movements. He just pushes the ball towards the goal by virtue of his perception of the rhythm and the feeling of the goal.

Talent is really very important to a striker, and sometimes shooting depends on the feeling!

Although he didn't look up to observe, Dzeko's ball was accurate and steady. It just avoided the goalkeeper's save and rolled into the net!

2: 0!

Edin Dzeko scored twice!

The cheers in the stands grew louder.

Dzeko proved to Maritimo fans what a world-class striker is!

Sprinting, unloading, dribbling, dribbling, shooting, all in one go, wonderful!

And the quality behind the goal is even more amazing.Super impact, delicate foot skills, calm psychological quality, precise shooting skills... These qualities all declare to the world: the most expensive foreign aid in the history of Maritimo?I'm worth the price!

What a striker!Gao Yuan couldn't help but admire sincerely.

At the end of the first half, Maritimo temporarily led 2:0.

In the second half, they changed sides to fight again, and the Shavish team began to move more aggressively. Not surprisingly, they should have been scolded by the coach in the locker room.

Skills are not enough, time to make up.The visiting team players frequently used fouls to stop Maritimo from attacking.

For a time, all kinds of foul actions such as shoveling, hugging, jersey pulling, and shorts pulling emerged in an endless stream.

The audience in the stands booed bursts, and the referee frequently drew cards, warning the visiting team not to go too far.

However, the visiting team naturally went its own way.Because they already know very well that they have no chance of winning this game. Although they are losing, they still need to have a better score, and now the most effective way to prevent the score from expanding is to foul!

Maritimo's offensive rhythm was disrupted by the opponent's frequent fouls, and the players' mentality began to be a little impetuous.

In the 64th minute, Cassettino, one of the hardest players in Maritimo's team, still did not relax, and plugged in on the sidewalk.

However, while running without the ball, he was deliberately bumped from the side by the opponent's full-back Nunu Coelho. The defenseless Cassettino was directly knocked out of the sideline and rolled several times in embarrassment.

This time, Maritimo's players were all angry. It was nothing more than non-stop fouling before, but now they have intensified, using such vile fouls to hit players without the ball.

The excited home team players swarmed up and surrounded the foul player, asking for an explanation.

The players of the visiting team are not to be outdone, they can't play football, but they may not lose to the leader of the Portuguese Super League in a fight!They also crowded over, pushing and shoving with the Maritimo players.

The referee blew his whistle again and again, but it couldn't stop the situation from deteriorating.

During the pushing and shoving, both sides got angry.Especially Maritimo's Joao, although this thorny head is often taught by Antonio to be a man, he has never been coaxed outside!In fact, apart from the team's boss and team spirit, he is fearless!

Although he and his roommate Cassettino are completely different in terms of three views, they usually stumble when they live together, and they have to ridicule each other when they have nothing to do.However, no matter how distasteful it is, he is also Lao Tzu's roommate, and it will not be up to you bunch of Portuguese rubbish to be taught a lesson!

João was very excited during the conflict. He was theoretical at first, but quickly lost his temper. He grabbed the collar of the player who caused the accident, Nunu Coelho, and raised his other fist high, and he was about to throw a heavy punch.

"Stop!" A roar suddenly came from the sidelines.

Joao's movements froze, and he withdrew his fist resentfully.

Gao Yuan is the only person who can stop the irrational Joao!

"Go back and play football for me! They foul because they are afraid of you! The best way to fight back on the football field is to score goals!"

It's strange to say that the Maritimo players, who were still at war just now, all retreated obediently after hearing Gao Yuan's words.

Whether it's sincerely or because of Gao Yuan's power, anyway, now Gao Yuan's words are firmly in place in the team, and they can already be banned.

In the next game, Shavish still fouled frequently and Maritimo players were brought down frequently, but their emotions were well controlled and there were no large-scale conflicts.

The referee on duty also breathed a sigh of relief, and admired the young head coach of the home team very much. If he hadn't calmed down his players, this group of proud soldiers at home would never let it go.

Maritimo, who had calmed down, returned his attention to the game and regained control of the game.

In the 77th minute, Dzeko played the role of fulcrum again. After taking the ball with his back, he passed the ball to his teammates around him. The teammates shot from the far corner and scored.

The score was rewritten to 3:0.

Almighty Dzeko showed impressive passing skills.

In the 85th minute, the opponent's reckless foul earned Maritimo a free kick in the frontcourt in a good position.

Joao and Dzeko stand in front of the ball.

Although he is not good at free kicks, as the biggest star in this stadium, everyone thinks that it will be Dzeko who will take free kicks.

"Dzeko~Dzeko~"

The voices calling for the Bosnia and Herzegovina stars sounded again from the stands.

This is already unknown how many times the fans collectively called Dzeko's name in this game!

Joao ran up first, but when everyone thought he was feinting, he fired directly!

Joao swung his thigh and kicked the outside of his foot flat, the ball was driven by a huge force, and flew towards the goal at high speed against the ground.

Just passed under the jumping wall, and the jumping wall just blocked the goalkeeper's sight. When the goalkeeper found the ball, it was too late. Before he fell to the ground to save, the ball flew into the net.

4:0

Joao scored!

After scoring the goal, Joao was ecstatic, running all the way and celebrating wildly.

But his teammates hesitated, seemingly debating whether to celebrate with him.Only his roommate, Casetinho, ran over and gave him a bear hug.

Joao was a little embarrassed, and unconsciously turned his gaze to the coach's bench, just in time to see the boss staring at him.

"Brat, come here!"

Joao's heart skipped a beat, and he walked over anxiously.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked in front of the boss, he was grabbed by him.

"You boy, you did a good job!"

Joao was hugged by the boss, but he was surprised and happy, and said proudly: "I often practice this kind of ball, and I can score 10 or 7 out of 8!"

"Idiot, I didn't mean to score a goal!" Unexpectedly, the boss patted the back of his head casually.

Not a goal?Joao clutched the back of his head with a dazed look on his face.

"Is it an honor to score a goal for a first-tier team? What I'm saying is that you can control your emotions! Also, the best counterattack is to score a goal!" the boss taught.

It turned out to be the case, Joao finally figured it out.

Just as he was rubbing the back of his head in a daze, he heard the boss shouting to the other teammates, "What's the matter with you? Your teammates scored a goal, shouldn't we celebrate together?"

Hearing what the boss said, the other teammates dispelled their worries and ran over to hug Joao one after another.

After two weeks, he was accepted by his teammates again. The once stabbing head has changed his mind. He really misses this feeling and enjoys the warmth of the collective.

People only know how to cherish it when they have lost it!

"Thank you, boss!" Joao said sincerely, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by his teammates.

In the end, the game ended 4:0.

Maritimo advances to the next round of the Portuguese Cup!
