Barcelona, ​​Spain.

"Hey, Penelope? Why did it disappear after the work was gone?"

Several actresses, carrying shopping lists of large and small bags, pushed open Penelope's door noisily. Penelope, who was watching TV, was in a hurry to turn off the TV, but was still caught by several actresses in the crew...

"Wow, you are watching the Champions League game! It's still Valencia's away game against Lazio. Didn't you say you won't watch Valencia's game again after seeing Valencia win Real Madrid last time?" Love, the oldest, shouted narrowly.

"Yes, yes, our Miss Penelope is really a person who is not right!" Paredes and several others also shouted, and they still remember that after Real Madrid lost to Valencia at home in early October last year, Penelope was so angry that he smashed everything in the room that night. The next day, he announced in front of the crew: "I will never watch Valencia's game again! I will never watch that bastard Tiger's game again!"

Thinking of the scene when Penelope scolded Tiger as a "despicable, shameless, arrogant, and arrogant" player at that time, a few people wanted to laugh, but at this time, Penelope was secretly watching Valencia's away game against Lazio...

"What's so good about this game? I played 6-2 in the first game. Valencia can reach the semi-finals no matter how you play. It's better to watch Barcelona's game." Love said.

"I don't watch Catalonia's game." Penelope curled his lips and said, "Real Madrid's game is tomorrow, so I watch Valencia's game."

"I think you're watching Tiger," Paredes said with a smile: "Actually, he's really a handsome guy. I want to ask him out, especially on the court, he's very..." Paredes tried hard to find a word to describe Tiger: "...It's cool, it's tough, and it's very manly."

"Haha—" Penelope felt that he was about to vomit: "What's the point of that guy? He was arrogant and didn't know what it was. He didn't know how to respect other opponents. He was simply a scum among the players. The scum in La Liga, who looked like a thin monkey, was not a man at all, and was just a sissy little white-faced."

"Then are you watching his game? You're still watching secretly." Paredes teased.

"I..." Penelope was speechless. At this time, Nesta made another wonderful steal on TV. He used a steal that was infinitely close to the foul but did not touch the referee's bottom line and cut off the ball under Tiger's feet. Penelope immediately jumped: "I see how he was defeated by Nesta! Compared with him, Nesta is the handsome guy among the handsome guys and the man among the men."

"Oh, the one who is called the first central defender in the future is indeed quite handsome, but I think Tiger seems to be not bad either, and he is an offensive player, so he can always be the focus." Paredes was considered to be with Penelope.

"Let's watch it. He's just a fancy offensive player. His outstanding performance before was just not meeting the top defensive player! Last time he played against Real Madrid, if Redondo hadn't been injured and didn't play, he would have performed so well? The last game he won Lazio because Nesta didn't play. He couldn't score the goal as soon as Nesta came on the court!" Penelope shouted with his fists, completely forgetting that Tiger had already fought against Keane, Vieira, Guardiola, Koku, and Jerry Messe's top defensive players...

Love, Paredes and others exchanged meaningful eyes, and did not speak anymore, but put down his own things and sat with Penelope to watch the game.

Let's pull the shot back to the Rome Olympic Stadium.

Nesta used a powerful and skillful interception at the beginning of the second half to send huge cheers from the Lazio fans in the stands, and then Lazio immediately launched a fierce attack.

In this game, Lazio's formation returned to 442, with one less Almeida in the midfield. At the same time, Concesan replaced Nedved's right forward position - Nedved's most used to the left and middle, and there was always a little awkward to the right, while there was a strength Boksic on the front line.

Compared with the first round of the game, there were more breakthrough players on the wing and there was a center who could compete in the penalty area. After the lesson in the last game, Eriksen discovered his mistake in the deployment of troops, and he also made timely improvements, which made Valencia's defense pressure begin to increase.

Bellon took the ball in the middle and half turned around to send out a wonderful transfer ball. The Portuguese man Concesan on the right received his pass. Facing the double attack from Caboni and Kili, he did not force a breakthrough, but attracted the opponent's attention and turned around and passed the ball back to Negro who was inserted to assist.

Negro received the ball and made a cross without anyone defending it. Boksic and Pellegrino in the penalty area jumped up at the same time. At this time, the Croatian center showed his excellent bounce and point-grabbing ability, and pushed the ball in front of Pellegrino. Although he could not directly hit the ball, he successfully pushed the ball in front of Peron who was in front of him!

Facing the falling ball, Peron gritted his teeth, and after Hrad interfered, he kept swinging his right foot directly, and then pulled the ball out fiercely!

Herard's foot was only a little slower, and the ball flew along his toes!

Jukic wanted to use his body to stop Beron's long shot, but he was still one step slower. The ball flew past him, a slight difference!

In an absolute straight line, Bellon's shot does not win with angle and arc, but depends on strength and speed!

Canisales had already responded at the first time, but the ball still swept through his fingertips, and then hit the net!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Juan - Perron! Wonderful long shot! One to zero! Lazio scored a point! Maybe this goal is not enough to allow them to advance to the semi-finals, but it can help them regain their dignity and fighting spirit! To be honest, before the start of this game, I originally thought that this would not be a game with some ripples, but the fighting spirit and desire to play displayed by the players on both sides in the game made this game worthy of the identity of the Champions League game!"

"Ah--" Penelope screamed in front of the TV, raised his arms and shouted, his hair was messy and he ignored it. Love and several others exchanged helpless eyes, thinking in his heart: This child is beyond help!

Nesta raised his hands high, and now he felt that his strength was back on him. Now the second half has only started in less than five minutes. Maybe Lazio still has a chance!

As long as you can block all Tiger's offenses, the frontcourt players will always have a chance to attack Valencia's defense with continuous attacks!

If you can score the second goal, this game will cause huge waves!

Tiger looked at him and saw his expression in his eyes.

Just one goal, do you think you will have a chance? My next goal will erase all your hopes!

It seems that your condition has recovered due to the stimulation of the goal, which is just right. I am not willing to defeat a tired and injured opponent!

Next, let’s take a look!

******************************************************

Although he was still three goals behind in the total score, it was undoubtedly that this goal made the morale of Lazio players even more high - the charm of the two-legged game is here, especially those who play away first. Even if they lose badly, as long as they get the away goal, they will still have a fight at home!

Valencia did not push the attack, but passed it back and forth a few times after the kickoff, and immediately passed the ball to Tiger with a straight pass.

Lazio had enough defensive players in the backcourt at this time, but what was interesting was that neither Mikhainovic nor Mimeo, or even two full-backs, they did not mean to help Nesta, but instead allowed Tiger and Nesta to play one-on-one again.

If you want to get back the absolute gap of up to four goals, you have to accumulate advantages in all small aspects. After scoring the first goal, what Lazio wants to prove now is that he will not give Valencia any chance in defense, and continuing to let Nesta and Tiger one-on-one is one of the necessary factors to accumulate small advantages!

Let the most reliable defenders in the team prove that your offense will never be able to break through our goal in this situation. This is also a way to psychologically affect the opponent - this also proves the absolute confidence of Lazio players in Nesta!

Nesta knew this very well and took a deep breath. A large amount of fresh air poured into his chest to cheer up Nesta's spirit, and his whole state began to reach a peak. At this time, Nesta's eyes were only Tiger.

You won’t choose to pass the ball, are you? You won’t escape the challenge, are you? Then come on!

Tiger controlled the ball under his feet, and the surroundings were all in sight.

"Don't want to come and assist in defense? You are really confident in Nesta, so let me defeat Nesta and defeat your confidence!"

On the football field, opportunities are always equal. If Nesta wins, it will be a great encouragement for Lazio and a great blow to Valencia. But similarly, if Tiger successfully breaks through Nesta, it will also seriously damage Nesta's morale and stabilize the situation again for Valencia!

Lazio fans in the stands are full of confidence because their hero has defeated Tiger several times, and this time, it is no exception!

Watching the two people approaching quickly on TV, Penelope began to mutter unconsciously: "Kill him, kill him, this is the first time I support an Italian on the court... Oh, except Panucci..."

In Penelope's mumbling, the distance between Tiger and Nesta quickly narrowed. The route Nesta rushed up was impeccable, leaving only a slight breakthrough route for Tiger on both sides, and the trap was also laid there!

The two approached, and Tiger swung his right foot and made a move to the front of the ball and broke through directly from Nesta's left!

This is the overture of Cruyff's turn, but as long as Nesta does not intercept, this fake move will become real. With his speed of breakthrough, even Nesta will find it difficult to continue to block him!

As long as both sides run side by side, Tiger has absolute confidence to break through to the penalty area under Nesta's entanglement. When he gets there, he will be his world!

In Tiger's consideration, Nesta must have moved. He could not wait until he broke through before reacting. However, unexpectedly, Nesta continued to get stuck on the previous route, without moving at all.

"Is it a trap?" Such an idea flashed through Tiger's mind, but he quickly gave up on this idea. There was no Lazio player around him to fill the position. There was no trap. If he hesitated too much, he would put himself in trouble!

After thinking about it, Tiger's feet were not slow at all. His fake moves became real moves, and he drove the ball forward, then rushed over Nesta!

During this series of movements, Tiger controlled the ball well, and the ball did not leave his control range at all. With his ball control ability, as long as this is the case, no one could steal the ball from his feet.

Just as Tiger's fake move turned into a real move, Nesta began to move.

Turning around slightly and a half, Nesta strongly attached to Tiger. He did not directly collide. He had already noticed it from the previous few contacts. Although the other party looked thin, his ability to confront him was not bad at all. It would affect his balance if he barely hit him.

From the beginning, Nesta never thought of breaking the ball quickly, pestering him, and putting his offense in trouble. Even if he doesn't lose the ball, he can't cause trouble in the offense. This is how Nesta deals with it.

Nesta still has some advantages in strength, slowly rushing to him, allowing him to change his course until he falls into a narrow space, and that is when Nesta wins!

However, just as Nesta was pressing on it, Tiger suddenly stopped suddenly, and a ball on his right foot stopped the ball rolling momentum, then turned around in reverse, pulled and slammed with one click on his right foot, and Marseille turned around!

The first half of Cruyff's turn and the second half of Marseille slewing, Tiger's new breakthrough skills!

Although there was no collision, Nesta still needed to leverage Tiger after he put it on. Now that Tiger turned like this, Nesta relied on loosens. Even if his center of gravity is stable, he will inevitably deviate!

While tilting down, Nesta called out an terrible sound in his heart. Without having time to turn around, he turned around and stretched his foot to interfere with Tiger's progress. Tiger continued to pull the ball outward, dodged Nesta's last defense, and then dribbled the ball and started moving forward!

The entire Rome Olympic Stadium was quiet. Lazio fans could not believe their eyes, their pride, their flags, and the sky-high pillars on their defense were still thrown away by Tiger after consecutive victories. They were so completely and so straightforward!

Fortunately, Lazio was not attacking at this time - although there was a gap to allow Tiger and Nesta to one-on-one, Lazio's other defenders still left enough defenders in the backcourt - they didn't dare to joke about losing the ball. This is not that they have no confidence in Nesta, but that they are just preparing for the future...

Now, the plan to save their lives. After seeing Tiger's successful breakthrough, although they were also surprised, the defender's instinct allowed them to immediately complete the defense. Favali and Mikhainovic blocked Tiger's forward route. Before Nesta's replacement, Tiger resolutely took a long shot, but was swept by Machegiani flying to save the ball.

After the failure of this attack, Tiger did not have any frustration expression. He raised his right hand high, waved it hard, and then shouted to the sky!

At this moment, Tiger was the only one who shouted wildly on the entire court!

"Do you want to attack? You have to consider my existence first! I can break through Nesta in the peak state once, and there will be a second and third time! If you all press on the offense next time, leave Nesta alone, then don't blame me for sieve your defense line!"

Tiger did not say these words, but his actions and expressions had clearly expressed this!

Eriksen on the home team's coaching bench covered his forehead and said, without having to look at the expressions of the players on the court. Just listening to this extremely quiet stadium, Eriksen, who has experienced, knows that Lazio's confidence has just risen, has been defeated by Tiger alone, and it is even more serious than before!

Tiger broke through Nesta, which was just a small matter. The God of Basketball Jordan was also shamelessly blocked on the court. He was in the world, so there was no one who was not allowed to get a knife. However, the previous away defeat was a possible four major results. The desperate attack at home and failed to score a goal in the first half had already put Lazio players under great mental pressure. The only thing that kept them persisted was Nesta's outstanding performance before, which allowed them to see a glimmer of hope. However, now, Nesta was defeated by Tiger in a one-on-one confrontation, just like a straw that was already loaded with a lot of weight. The light straw itself brought extremely serious consequences!

"Hehe, when did there be such a monster..." Erikson sighed again and then jumped up, then waved his arms to make Lazio's players strengthen their attacks - the previous luxury of winning no longer exists. Now he just wants to score one or two more goals to make his face better!

With a dark mood, Lazio's players launched a tide of attack, which was a desperate counterattack.

Valencia's players look at Lazio's offense as if they were looking at the last dying struggle of a man who was about to drown - they respected him but didn't care.

Salas's turn-around shot in the penalty area was rushed out by Canisales. Concesan, who rushed to the penalty area, planned to make a follow-up shot as soon as possible, but was cleared by Caboni's big feet guarding the penalty area.

The Italian is not very good at offensive ability, but he has another advantage - that is, his long pass accuracy is still very high...

The ball flew towards Lazio's half. Nesta mustered up Yu Yong and rushed towards Tiger. He didn't care about the landing point of the ball. Anyway, the landing point was very far behind, and Valencia only had Tiger to counterattack. Even Lopez had returned to defense just now. As long as he held Tiger, he would not have any threat if he couldn't get the ball.

The two kept hitting the landing point of the ball. Nesta, who was physically superior, knocked Tiger down and down. However, Tiger did not lose balance. Instead, after hitting it, Tiger began to feel that Nesta's center of gravity was slowly hit by him and began to become unstable...

The pain was not very serious after the waves, but there was a clear sense of pain coming from his thigh. Nesta gritted his teeth and insisted. He was on the court with an injury. The team doctor said that he could play the whole game, but his consumption in this game was much greater than usual.

Tiger didn't know why Nesta lost his balance before himself in the impact, but he knew that it was a good opportunity - suddenly accelerated, Tiger threw Nesta away for a distance, and then took the lead in removing the ball!

When Tiger left Nesta behind, it means that no matter how outstanding Nesta is, it will never be possible to stop Tiger from moving forward. With Tiger's ball control ability, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to cut off the ball under his feet from behind, even if Nesta is the world's top defender!

What's more, Nesta is now just one of the top defenders...

After breaking into the penalty area, facing Machegiyani who was attacking, Tiger did not make any fake moves anymore. Instead, he swung his calf quickly during the run at the moment when Machegiyani attacked, and pushed the ball out vigorously with the inside of his right foot!

As soon as Machegiani was halfway through the attack, he saw the ball flying towards his right. He fell to the ground in a hurry to save the ball, but he was still a step slower. The ball rolled past his armpit and then rolled into the goal!

One to one! The total score is seven to three!

The moment the ball entered the goal, Lazio fans knew that their Champions League trip this season was over!
To be continued...
