Chapter 184: Pato’s Challenge

Sampdoria's players did a very determined job in executing the head coach's intentions.

In the first ten minutes of the game, the Sampdorians attacked lively and had an advantage in the scene.

However, the offensive effect is not good.

Thunder is just going on, not rain.

Although it looks lively, Sampdoria's offense lacks efficiency, and it is rare to truly threaten the AC Milan goal.

In contrast to Sampdoria, although the game was passive, AC Milan's limited counterattacks always hit Sampdoria's goal and formed a final shot, forcing Chu Jiang to make a save.

Fortunately, Chu Jiang's attention has always been very focused.

In the fifth minute of the game, AC Milan launched a quick counterattack.

Pato dribbled the ball from the left and wanted to pass Sampdoria's right-back Zauri, but he saw through his intentions.

At the moment Pato changed the line, Zauri stabbed the ball first and destroyed Pato's control range.

However, the ball did not hit far, and just rolled to the young German midfielder in AC Milan, at the feet of Merkel.

The German young player passed the ball to Emmanuelson very calmly, and ran downward and quickly ran out of a gap.

Emmanuelson understood and knocked the ball to Merkel.

Beautiful wall-to-wall fit!

25 meters in front of the goal, Merkel got a long shot. Without hesitation, he swung his legs and shot, drew a powerful and heavy blow to the earth, and the football headed straight to the far corner of the goal.

Chu Jiang quickly flew to the side, but did not touch the ball.

Looking back, the football happened to be off the post.

fine!

Chu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the ball did not go in, it also sounded a wake-up call for Chu Jiang.

Although AC Milan has a bad scene, their players have extremely strong personal abilities. As long as there is a single flash of the star, it will be enough to pose a fatal threat to Sampdoria's goal.

Chu Jiang must not take it lightly!

Chu Jiang quickly spent two dream points to activate special skills, passionate!

"Ding Dong! The passionate skill is successfully stimulated, and it consumes dream points, 2 points!"

"Dingdong, the passionate skill is activated, you gain a gain state, passionate! In the next 45 minutes, all your goalkeeper attributes will be increased by 3 points! The neural index will rise by 4 points! Immune to all negative emotions, and the positive emotions will rise by 50%!"

Because of feeling the pressure from AC Milan stars, Chu Jiang did not dare to neglect at all.

This game is very important, he doesn't want to lose!

After activating the passionate skills, Chu Jiang clearly felt the improvement of his abilities.

After possessing Buffon's goalkeeping skills and slowly developing the potential of his own technology, the effect that the skill of Hot Blood brought to Chu Jiang seemed to be more obvious than before.

One minute later, Robinho shot from the front of the penalty area and was blocked by Sampdoria's defenseman, and the football fell just in front of Emmanuelson.

On the left side of the penalty area, Emmanuelson made a slight adjustment and quickly shot diagonally, and the football flew to the far corner of the goal.

Facing Emmanuelson's shot, Chu Jiang reacted very quickly.

He jumped sideways, snatched the ball in front of the goal, winning a lot of lottery.

While Chu Jiang saved the ball, the referee blew a whistle, indicating that Emmanuelson had been offside before he got the ball.

Soon afterwards, Sampdoria also got a chance, but Manini's long shot missed the goal and did not pose a threat to the goal guarded by Roma.

In the 10th minute, Pato used his personal skills to dribble the ball and forcefully broke into the right side of Sampdoria's penalty area.

At 14 meters away from the goal, Pato snatched hard before Acardi pressed closely, but the ball was blocked by Chu Jiang, who was in excellent position, and the ball was blocked out of the near post.

In just five minutes, Chu Jiang rejected two threatening shots from Emmanuelson and Pato.

His outstanding performance made Di Carlo, who was directing the game on the sidelines, nodded repeatedly. Obviously, Di Carlo was very satisfied with the good condition Chu Jiang showed.

On the team's bench, Kurchi also looked at Chu Jiang's performance curiously. Although his main position is still very stable, Chu Jiang's outstanding performance also made the Italian star of hope feel some pressure from competition.

After 10 minutes, AC Milan successfully got rid of the unfavorable situation at the beginning and slowly began to reflect their control as a strong team.

Under the unremitting running and active fighting between Van Bomer, Thiago Silva and Emanuelson, AC Milan slowly controlled the midfield and began to suppress Sampdoria.

At this time, Di Carlo promptly reminded the team to recover the formation and pay attention to defense.

After 10 minutes of fast-paced attack, Sampdoria players consumed a lot of physical strength. At this time, they needed to slow down the pace of the game, restore their strength, and make good physical reserves for the next round of counterattack.

However, this time was the most dangerous time for Sampdoria in the first half.

Because of the team's active recovery, the control of the offensive falls at AC Milan. If the AC Milan's offensive cannot withstand this time and the goal is lost, it will cause great interference to the team's subsequent tactical arrangement.

In the 12th minute of the game, cyclist Robinho cut into the penalty area from the left.

"Hold him!"

Chu Jiang shouted loudly.

Zauri followed Robinho in an endless step, blocking his way of advancing and shooting.

Robinho looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area.

Zawuli is following like a shadow, and the shot is definitely not good, there is no angle.

Pato was deeply encircled and could not pass it to him.

Back point...

"He wants to pass the back!"

Chu Jiang immediately saw through Robinho's intentions and reminded loudly.

Sure enough, Robinho dunked the ball and then passed the ball low and the back point!

Thanks to Chu Jiang's reminder, Palonbo stepped forward first and intercepted the ball before Merkel received it.

After clearing the ball, Palonbo turned around and raised a thumbs up at Chu Jiang, praising his reminder for being very timely and in place.

Chu Jiang also smiled and gave a thumbs up to the captain, thanking him for his timely cooperation.

In such a game, Chu Jiang and the team have a higher understanding.

In the 16th minute, Acardi made a cross from the right.

However, the football was not far away, and just landed in the arc top area in front of the penalty area.

Here, there just happened to be one player, and it is Thiago Silva of AC Milan!

Thiago Silva, who played as a midfielder in this game, was not polite. He was 25 meters in front of the goal and shot hard with a volley.

"call!"

The football was like a cannonball, hitting Sampdoria's goal aggressively!

At this moment, Samp's captain Palonbo stepped forward. He flew to block the hole of the gun, jumped up and blocked the ball out of the bottom line with his back.

"Good job! Thank you, Captain!"

Chu Jiang walked a few steps forward, reached out and expressed his gratitude to Palonbo.

Thiago Silva's shot was suddenly, and the ball was very fast, and Chu Jiang's vision was blocked by the players in the penalty area. If it weren't for Palonbo's flying to block the gun hole, Chu Jiang wouldn't be very easy to defend.

"This is my duty!"

Palonbo smiled and shook hands with Chu Jiang, then patted his shoulder.

AC Milan's corner kick!

German rookie Merkel stood near the corner flag, thought for a moment, and suddenly knocked the ball forward and issued a tactical corner kick.

Robinho quickly ran out of the penalty area and received Merkel's tactical corner kick.

Due to insufficient mental preparation, under Acardi's press, Robinho scored a half-high ball in a hurry and passed the ball back to Merkel.

Acardi immediately gave up Robinho and ran towards Merkel.

Seeing this, Merkel had to hang the ball high into the penalty area without waiting for the ball to fall.

Football is a very wonderful sport, and accidental factors are everywhere.

Sometimes, the effortless organization, dazzling breakthroughs, and smooth cooperation will suddenly be shot out by the opponent's defender from the diagonal stabbing at the moment when the goal is formed. A simple and rough shovel will kill the attack, which makes people sigh and do nothing.

Sometimes, the defense is forced into a dead end and hastily chosen to pass the ball with one big foot. A random pass without calculation can cause unexpected results and cause a fatal blow to the opponent's goal.

This is how Merkel's pass was.

The football flew high towards the Sampdoria penalty area, which seemed to be insignificant.

However, among the crowd, Brazilian star Thiago Silva jumped high and grabbed the landing point of the football.

Logically speaking, the header 13 or 4 meters away from the goal was also interfered by Sampdoria's defenders. No matter how capable Thiago Silva is, it cannot pose any threat.

However, Thiago Silva is very smart. He did not choose to head the ball recklessly, and a cunning header came!
