Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 39: quick knife

Mario Salado watched the football rise above the crossbar. After finishing the shot, his feet seemed to have lost all strength and could no longer support his body, so he swooped and fell to the ground.

At the same time, there was a burst of laughter from the Madrid Pirates fans in the stands.

This is for Salado.

As a talented player trained by Catalonia's own youth training echelon, Mario Salado can be said to be born with a golden spoon.

In the echelon of various age groups, he is the top one.

Of course, he thinks he will become a star in the Catalan first team, just like the treatment that Meli enjoyed in the King of Madrid.

He won the best young player award in La Liga, the best young player award in Europe... Everything is copying the path that Melli has taken, so he will definitely grow into a player like Melli in Catalonia.

But in the end he didn't become what he and others expected him to be.

It stands to reason that he actually performed well in the Catalan first team, otherwise he would not have won the Best Young Player Award in Europe.

It's just that compared with his target Meli and his rival Hu Lai, his performance was really "mediocre".

Especially after seeing Hu Lai's crazy performance last season, the talented player who once wanted to beat Hu Lai has given up such thoughts.

Ninety-five goals in a single season... This is really uncompetitive!

What's more, he still has the mountain of Kabonka to cross in the team.

Obviously, the core of the current team is the Brazilian, not the "heirloom" he cultivated by the Catalan United himself.

Just like the position of the two on the field, he is on the left side, and his range of activities is basically limited to this side.

Although Kabangka is nominally on the right, his position in the actual game is very flexible, and he can even stay in the middle.

In order to match the characteristics of Kabangca, the team even replaced their main right back Pablo Osquie, because Osquie is not good at assists although he defends fiercely.

So this summer, the team spent 42 million euros to introduce young Portuguese international Rico Hidalgo from Portuguese giants Porto United.

The Portuguese right-back is fast and is extremely good at assists. Although the defense is weaker, coach Riley Vicente doesn't care, because Hidalgo is the one he named and asked the club to introduce.

With Hidalgo joining in, Kabonka can stay in the middle, thus giving up the right to Hidalgo, who has a strong assist ability.

Although this will lose some defensive ability, it can ensure the team's offensive firepower.

And all of this is because of Kabonka.

It is clear at a glance who is the core and who is the support.

But in fact, Mario Salado could have been the core of the team.

How did it become what it is now?

In the final analysis, it is probably because of his poor ability to grasp scoring opportunities...

Like this ball.

Kabonca has drawn almost all of the Madrid Pirates' defensive force, leaving him with huge openings and passing the ball to him.

It can be said that the cake was fed into his throat.

But he was still able to pick his own throat and spit out the cake...

How can such a performance make the club support him as the core?

Which core will waste important opportunities in the game?

And compared to Kabangka's ability to side-to-side, he can only play on the sidelines, and he doesn't have the conditions to become the core.

Hearing the roar of laughter in the stands, Mario Salado turned around and saw Kabonca giving him a thumbs up.

He was a little surprised.

If this happened in training, the Brazilian would definitely be dissatisfied with himself because he wasted the opportunity he created.

He has been "educated" by Kabonka in training a lot:

"Mario, you should be like this..."

"Mario, you should be like that..."

"Mario, you shouldn't be like this..."

"Mario, you shouldn't be like that..."

……

But on the field, the Brazilian genius who claims to be as famous as Meli was surprisingly tolerant. Not only did he not accuse him of wasting his chances, but he also gave him a thumbs up.

What is there to praise for your performance just now?

Even Salado was ashamed that he wasted this opportunity.

※※※

When Salado received the pass again, there was a shout from the stand near him:

"Thank you, Salado! Thank you!"

Of course, the home team fans were not really thanking him, but mocking him.

And hope to use such taunts to influence Salado's next performance.

In their roar, Salado did not choose to break through with the ball, but quickly passed the ball out again.

It can still be clearly seen that he was affected by the missed opportunity before, and he seemed a little lacking in confidence.

Originally, he could break through directly, but now he passed the football to Kabonka in the middle.

He passed it so suddenly, Kabonka was completely unprepared, and the football flew over with great strength.

At this time, the Brazilian's super sense of the ball was revealed - despite the hasty catch, and despite Salado's strong passing, Kabonca still struggled to stop the ball.

Of course, it is unavoidable to stop a little bigger.

However, a high-level player can always turn any unexpected situation on the field into favorable conditions for him.

In other words, a player who can always make the best choice in the face of various emergencies on the court is a top player.

Kabonka is undoubtedly such a top player.

Not only did he not make the stoppage his own mistake, but he took advantage of the stoppage opportunity to slip through between Ramirez and Joaquin Bella in one breath!

He turned the stop ball into a dribble ball!

Fortunately, Danny Drew was focused and anticipated the actions Kabonka might take in advance.

So when Kabonka just swung the football out, Drew, who was in the penalty area, stepped up to meet him.

Then when Kabangka caught up with the football, he stretched his foot to intercept.

The two kicked each other hard at the front of the penalty area. After a muffled sound, Kabangka fell to the ground before losing his balance.

Drew also swayed, but he still stabilized his center of gravity and quickly moved the football he stopped.

The Madrid Pirates took advantage of the situation to launch an attack.

In the end, Hu Lai completed the shot, but the ball was held by Catalan goalkeeper Tone Schulman.

Seeing Shulman hug Hu Lai's shot, Kabonka, who was returning to defense, ran to Salado.

Then he pulled him, put his hand to his mouth and said, "You shouldn't have passed the ball to me, Mario. You should have gone straight through. You have the speed advantage, and if it's sudden enough, their right back won't be able to react. ."

At this moment, Mario Salado seems to be back on the training ground.

As long as he doesn't perform well and makes mistakes, Kabonka will directly criticize him publicly without waiting for the coach to stop him.

At first, Salado was very dissatisfied with Kabonca's approach, but he couldn't stand the coach on the Brazilian's side and fully supported him.

Salado could only slander, or occasionally stab Kabonca a little bit.

It's just that Kabonca never got angry with him. Instead, he pointed out his problems on a case-by-case basis, as if he hadn't heard the dissatisfaction in Salado's words.

To be honest, as a talented player who has been famous for a long time, he always thinks highly of himself.

Being taught a lesson in front of others like this will make anyone feel uncomfortable.

So even if you don't talk about the potential rivalry between the two, the relationship between Salado and Kabonca is not a good one.

If it was before, after being stopped by Caponcarra to "teach" him to play, Salado would have rolled his eyes in his heart, even if he didn't say anything on the surface.

But this time, maybe it was because of the previous compliment.

Facing Kabonca's criticism, Salado simply nodded: "Okay, I'll pay attention next time."

Kabangka patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, Mario. You are a sharp knife, don't be dull."

Salado reflexively said, "It's strange to hear you compliment me..."

As if he didn't hear the subtext of his words at all, Kabonka smiled, turned around and ran away.

Behind him, Salado watched him all the time.

※※※

Gaspar Rosas had the ball in midfield and was about to pass it to Kabonca when he saw Kabonca gesture to him to move the ball to the left.

Although it's not a very good space there, Rosas now respects Kabonka's idea very much.

Since Kabonka wants to let the team's offense go there, he will naturally cooperate.

It's just a delay, and now Rosas has lost the best chance to pass the ball.

Vukovic jumped up to grab the ball at his feet.

Rosas seemed to be still observing the situation on the left, and he didn't see Vukovic at all.

But when Vukovic really jumped up and stretched his foot to steal the ball, Rosas turned the ball to the outside of his body with the outer instep of his right foot, turned around and blocked Vukovic with his body.

Then he continued to swipe the ball with the outer instep of his right foot and circled around Vukovic as the axis.

Vukovic continued to stretch his foot to steal the ball without success.

Every time he steals the ball, the ball is always blocked by Rosas' body just right, causing him to fail.

After making a circle like this, Rosas faced the attacking direction again and saw the situation on the left.

Mario Salado is slashing forward from the flank to the halfway line.

Under the harassment of Vukovic, Rosas decisively sent a through ball!

The football dashed forward against the turf~www.readwn.com~ was like a hot knife cutting butter, penetrating the defense line of the Madrid Pirates!

Salado took advantage of his speed and forced his way through. The right back of the Madrid Pirates, Irasusta, came from the Catalan United, but he failed to gain a foothold in the Catalan United-he did not compete with the Argentine right back Pablo Osque , so he chose to come to the Pirates of Madrid.

In the face of Salado's speed advantage, he seemed a bit struggling.

Although he used both hands and feet, he still failed to stop Salado, and he was blocked by Salado in one turn!

"Salado! Salado!"

In the continuous exclamation of the commentator Sanchez, Salado received the ball behind the Madrid Pirates defense!

Almost formed a single sword!

Seeing this, Heywell rushed forward decisively and blocked his shooting angle.

Salado was about to steer the ball outside. Just as he pushed the ball away, he suddenly threw the ball across with his left foot!

The football almost passed in front of Heywell, but he had no time to react and could only watch the football roll to the middle.

And there...

Catalonia's centre-forward Emond Peterson is tangled up with two of the Madrid Pirates' centre-backs.

Then a figure shot out in front of the three!

"Kabonka!"

The Brazilian rushed to the goal and swept the ball across from Salado!

The football flies into the goal that has been left unguarded!
