Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 226: The battle between Germany and France begins! A god-level opening goal! Overturning everything! The goal battle is coming!!
On June 6, the second match of the European Cup semi-finals is about to start.

Starting from 1 pm, everything is being carefully prepared. The entire world of football has also turned its attention to the Liv Stadium in Kiev, Ukraine, looking forward to the upcoming game.

This stadium is originally an extra-large stadium that can accommodate more than 7 spectators at the same time.

“Woo woo!”

But at this moment, it is difficult to get a ticket. Countless people are begging scalpers outside the stadium, and have made up countless moving stories of "watching the game", hoping to get sympathy from scalpers and get a reasonable price.

The fans are so passionate that they cry outside the stadium just to laugh and scream inside the stadium later.

Many stories of getting rich overnight also took place here. Many fans of other national teams who had booked their tickets in advance met many generous German and French tycoons who sold their tickets to them at exaggerated prices.

It is rumored that one hour before the game started, someone sold a ticket for 27400 pounds, which is more than the average local salary for 10 months.

Of course, the overly heated pre-match atmosphere also created some bad violent incidents.

Members of the Salvadoran gang robbed a French fan's house that had three tickets and injured the person. German fans also had a large-scale conflict with French fans after drinking, resulting in multiple casualties.

The criminals were quickly brought to justice, but the impact they caused lingered for a long time.

But no matter what, everything makes up this hot game. It's almost time for it to officially start.

The French team's bus set off from the hotel at 4.20pm and was escorted along the way by French fans, who set off smoke bombs and fireworks on both sides of the street to drive away German fans who wanted to approach.

"Chucky!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The scene was filled with smoke, with bright lights occasionally shooting up into the sky, causing continuous roaring explosions.

Maher sat in the back seat of the car, opened the curtains and looked out the window, feeling a cheerful atmosphere that was enough to make him feel depressed.

As the captain, he sat behind the bus driver. By turning his head and looking straight ahead, he could see the expression on Deschamps' face as he sat at the door.

The Basque man had a stern face and took a long time to blink. His dark pupils gave people a sense of majesty without anger.

Obviously, he was very nervous, probably remembering his experience of participating in the European Cup semi-final when he was a player.

Deschamps must have noticed that he was watching, so he turned around and smiled, but his smile was ugly.

Maher nodded and smiled at him, understanding why he felt no joy or excitement at this moment, because he felt the same way.

Although they had said long ago that after reaching the semi-finals after the turmoil, they would have less pressure and could focus on winning the championship.

But is this possible?
It's impossible. When the external pressure decreases, the pressure that we put on ourselves will surge into our minds.

Everyone knows that they are the expectation of many people and the spiritual sustenance of so many people. Once they fail, the most difficult thing to bear is not the pain of leaving this field and the honor, but the self-blame of disappointing countless people.

"Huh" Maher took a deep breath as usual to adjust his mood. He closed his eyes and put on headphones.

The bus soon drove into the Leaf Stadium, and the team began to warm up in a familiar manner on the field where they had played games before.

It was also at this time that the players of the French team and the German team saw each other's opponents.

Some of them were teammates in the club, but they did not go over to greet each other at this time. They just looked at each other and nodded from a distance. It was like two medieval infantry regiments that had begun to confront each other and would not get too close.

Deschamps also saw Löw in the distance at this time. The man was wearing a white shirt but was picking his nose in an undignified manner. After finishing, he even tasted it in his mouth.

This made him frown, thinking that this was a person who was even more unkempt than him.

After the players entered the locker room, both the French and German teams left an assistant coach on the field to observe the watering conditions in order to remind the players to wear appropriate spikes later.

Maher also separated from the team and went to the referee's room to sign the fair play agreement on behalf of the team as captain.

"Hello."

He met German captain Lahm in a small house, and took the initiative to step forward and shake hands and say hello. There was no smile on either of their faces, only politeness and caution.

"Nice to meet you again." Lahm nodded towards Maher. He had played a warm-up match with Maher in Bayern and was impressed by his speed.

A year later, the opponent's speed seems to be nothing among his advantages. He has more killer weapons, a higher goal efficiency and a value of over 100 million euros.

This speed of improvement is simply astonishing, and it is even stronger than the impact his speed brings to people.

However, how could they possibly stop their opponents from making progress? The only thing they could do was to rack their brains and use teamwork to defeat their opponents!
"Snapped!"

After signing the fair play agreement, the two men left and returned to their respective locker rooms.

Lahm ran back first to listen to Löw's tactical instructions. They definitely had more to emphasize.

"Remember what I emphasized before about offense? We must use our terrifying impact force to break through the opponent's defense and beat them so hard that they can't even raise their heads!"

Loew threw all the chess pieces in the front court into the French team's penalty area, with a serious look on his face, "This is a very challenging task, and it is almost our only hope of winning!

"In the past four games, people may not realize that France's defense is very good and they concede very few goals, which is one of the reasons why they are so successful.

"So once you get them into a rhythm of defending us and shutting down our offensive players, they have a better chance of winning because they have a player that seems unstoppable.

"Bang, bang!" He tapped the tactical board a few times, pushing all the offensive pieces towards the French team's goal, "Attack! I'll make you unrestricted and omnipotent!

"We must remember the glory of German football in the past and believe that the German tank will surpass every opponent!
"Germany!!"

"come on.!!"

On the other side, in the French team's locker room, Deschamps was pacing back and forth in the locker room with his hands behind his back, not in front of the tactical board.

“In the past few games, we were able to play what we wanted at times, but sometimes we were confused because of the opponent’s restrictions.

“I have to admit that it’s mainly your own efforts that have got you to this point, but luck is obviously also a factor.

"But you have to understand that you don't have much time left. We must execute our tactical instructions perfectly and use knife-like counterattacks to sting our opponents every time they try to launch a large-scale attack!
"If you fail to do this, you may miss a game that may make you regret for the rest of your life!

“It could be this one, or it could be the one after we get to the finals!
“Even if you can still reach the European Cup final in the future, or even win the championship, this regret will still run through your life!

“People often say that failure is good, but when you have accumulated enough experience and strength, you will only have one choice, and that is to succeed! The greatest success!!
"Team France!"

"come on.!!"

"Beep!" After the players of both teams completed the final mobilization, the referee blew the whistle while the game was in full swing. The players of both teams walked out of the court and lined up in front of the player tunnel.

"Aaahhh!"

“Wow!!”

Soon after, they came out to the cheers of fans from both sides and stood on the European Cup field as the sun was about to set.

Maher and Lahm walked in the front, and the photographer followed them and took pictures, allowing them to enjoy the glory of leading the team.

"CCTV! CCTV!! The battle between Germany and France is about to begin! I am the commentator Liu Jiayuan, and I am very happy to meet you here!!

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams. Compared with the last game, the French team has made many lineup adjustments.

"Deschamps showed his courage and also showed that the French team's strategy in this game was to play a resolute defensive counterattack.

“The goalkeeper is still Hugo Lloris, the left back is Clichy, the center backs are Koscielny and Rami, and the right back is Sagna.

“The lone defensive midfielder is M’Vila, a defensive midfielder who is good at intercepting and blocking, and he has played in the group stage.

"The two midfielders are Malouda and Cabaye, and they obviously also bear the responsibility of resisting the German tank's advancement in the middle!
"In the forward line, Mahel is on the left, Giroud is in the middle, and Nasri is on the right. Menez and Ben Arfa, who played but failed to perform well, were abandoned by Deschamps!"

"."

"For the German team, goalkeeper Neuer, two central defenders are Hummels and Badstuber, left back Lahm and right back Boateng.

"The double defensive midfielders are Schweinsteiger and Khedira, the attacking midfielder is Reus, and the two sides are Toni Kroos and Podolski. Mario Gomez is the single striker at the front.

"A basic 4-2-3-1 formation, basically with Bayern and Dortmund as the main players!
"This is a team that should not be underestimated. Their overall strength in the midfield and backfield is significantly higher than that of France, except for their forward line which may be slightly weaker!
"But we all understand that at this point in the European Cup, this kind of paper strength is no longer a reference. Only the state and will of both sides on the day will be the key to determining the outcome of the game!"

"."

As they were talking, Maher and Lahm completed their side selection in the midfield and returned to their respective halves.

Maher was the first to choose the backlit side before the sun set, which gave the team some physical advantages in offense and defense in the first half.

After finishing all this, everyone stood in their positions and waited for the time to reach 5.45.

It was clearly noticeable that everyone's chest was heaving violently, their nervousness and excitement reaching their peak.

"Beep!!"

"Good evening, dear audience friends! Welcome to watch the second game of the European Cup semi-finals!!
"Today, the German team, wearing white jerseys, will face the French team, wearing blue jerseys, at the Lief Stadium!!
"The winner between them will advance to the final of the European Cup and face the Spanish team!
"Löw and Deschamps are two brave reformers of French and German football. One of them has been in office for a long time, and the other took office with the best attitude. Let's see who will have the last laugh!"

"."

Under the serious gazes of both coaches and the cheers of the fans, the players of the two teams soon came into contact with each other and ushered in the first wave of confrontation.

As the German team kicked off first, many people including Maher were the first to retreat to avoid being directly scored by the opponent's opening offensive.

"Oh!"

The ball quickly moved to the right, where Toni Kroos made a cross, but the ball was cleared by Koscielny in the middle.

M'Vila got the second penalty, but the subsequent pass was wrong. Reus intercepted the ball and passed it to Toni Kroos who followed him. The latter immediately shot with his left foot.

"Snap!" The football did not threaten Lori and was controlled by him with an almost perfect hand shape.

"In the European Cup, there are a lot of long shots! Because in the fast-paced offense and defense, it is very difficult to rely on positional attack to break through the opponent's defense!
“Most of the time, when we feel that the positions are similar and we have a chance of getting a shot, we will just try a long shot!
"Tony Kroos made a good attempt! Today is a battle between masters, every move is fatal, everyone must go all out and stay focused!"

"."

Maher rushed to the front court, hoping to catch Lowry's hand-thrown ball and launch a counterattack.

"Shh!"

Lowry understood what he meant and threw a hand-thrown ball with an extremely fast and erratic trajectory.

“Bang bang bang!”

Maher judged the landing point, unloaded the ball perfectly to the front, and ran towards the German team's backcourt, advancing with the ball at high speed.

Not long after the start of the game, he could feel that the German team probably didn't want to defend today, and he might be able to play more proactively!
He took the ball straight to the opponent's back line, and first faced Boateng's defense. The opponent was very determined and just blocked the inside line to prevent him from cutting inside, hoping to force him to go to the bottom.

"Clap clap clap!"

He dribbled the ball towards the middle with his right foot, pretending to force an inside cut, then used his right foot to dribble past the opponent, dribbled the ball towards the middle again, and then quickly pushed the ball towards the baseline, which seemed to be exactly what the opponent wanted.

Boateng smiled slightly. Such elaborate moves led to a dead end that he had arranged long ago. For him, it was certainly a crisis that he had overcome without any effort.

But just as he turned around and was about to chase, he saw Maher also laughing, and his laughter was very nonsensical.

"Boateng! He is top-notch in any position, whether as a centre-back or a full-back! He has steady feet and looks like he can keep up with Maher! This is a top-notch defender."

Liu Jiayuan's voice just reached here, and he was about to end with a high note, but he saw Maher change direction again, and at the best time he suddenly lifted the ball to a certain height, passed Boateng's subconscious kick, and headed towards the middle.

And change of direction!

"Plop!" Boateng slipped and fell straight to the ground. He fell very smoothly, as if he fell asleep immediately.

".The defenders feel powerless when facing a super striker! Boateng seems to be lying on a green bed! Who knows, his value may drop!
"Mael cuts in! He's probably going to kick the ball directly!"

"."

In the German team's penalty area, no one reacted before Maher could suddenly shake off Boateng and rush into the penalty area, exposing a large gap to the opponent in an instant.

Neuer and center back Hummels were the first to lower their center of gravity, but the time left for them to think and make a decision was obviously not enough.

"Boom!"

Neuer hesitated for a moment and judged that Mahel might take two more steps into the penalty area. Fearing that he would not have time to get out by then, he quickly rushed towards the opponent, thinking that the earlier he blocked the ball, the higher the chance of success in saving the ball.

Hummels seemed to know that Neuer liked to take risks, so he chose a safer strategy. He immediately turned around and rushed behind Neuer, ready to defend the blind spot on one side.

But at this moment, the two found that Maher was drawing his bow and arrow on the penalty area line and was about to fire directly.

There's nothing false!
No need to move forward!

As long as there is an angle and an opportunity, believe in your shot and just shoot it!
Neuer: “.”

The goalkeeper is extremely vulnerable at the moment of attacking. They have just used their strength to move forward, and it is impossible for them to suddenly lower their center of gravity to save the ball. Even if they can save the ball, the success rate is not high.

Hummels: “.”

The defender was also extremely vulnerable before he reached the front of the goal. The most important thing was that he looked like a fool in such an important game. He didn't dare to step forward at the first time, giving the opponent an easy chance to shoot.

"Bang!!" The sound of the shot shook the entire Liv Stadium. The football flew out from under Maher's feet. Most people only saw the moment it flew into the air and then hit the net.

"Swish!" With Neuer and Hummels unable to offer any resistance, the football hit the upper right corner of the net.

The ball went in!
France scored the first goal!
Neuer did not fall to the ground. He quickly got up and closed his eyes with a look of disappointment, knowing what it meant to concede a goal to the opponent at this moment.

There was a ray of sunlight hitting his face at this moment, because they were playing football against the light. This light failed to give him hope, but instead added a touch of despair to him.

“Wow!!”

"Fola!!"

More than 30,000 French fans stood up and cheered for Maher before the song even started, but they liked it.

"It's a goal! The game just started for 45 seconds! France scored the first goal!!

"Maher puts the team ahead! It's amazing! He knocks Boateng down first and then shoots into the net from the edge of the box!

"He scores almost one goal per game with a long shot! Last season, he was the player who scored the most goals from outside the penalty area in European football. After coming to the European Cup, he may also break this historical record!
"We'll talk about that later. Anyway, his goal surpassed the goal scored by Russian player Kirichenko against Greece in the 04 European Cup and became the fastest goal in the history of the European Cup!

"."

On the field, Maher was tackled to the ground by Giroud before he could even run out of the penalty area. He was not discouraged. Even if he stood up and charged again, he had to finish his act and release his anger.

"Yeah!"

He spread his arms wide and flew towards the sidelines to celebrate like an eagle spreading its wings. He knew that this might be the fastest goal in the history of the European Cup.

Goal 7!
Only two goals away from Platini's record!
After arriving at the sidelines, he chose a somersault over sliding on his knees, somersaults, or a rising dragon punch to celebrate. His strength and coordination meant he didn't risk any injury by doing this move.

Under the pilgrim-like gaze of the French fans, he soared into the air gracefully and elegantly, not seeming like a real person. It was like a somersault in an anime scene, but of course there was a certain degree of shocking height added to the performance.

He has overcome his own shackles, as well as the difficulties the team had encountered, the pressure and tension before the game. He hopes that this game can have a good result!
"Mael!"

"The true God has come!"

"Angels are coming!"

"Vamos!"

The French players then ran over and knocked Mahel down again. The goal scored at this time surprised everyone.

"Ah!" Deschamps ran two steps excitedly on the sidelines. He loved Maher very much as he celebrated with a somersault, and he was also extremely envious of his vitality.

Even at his peak, he couldn't have celebrated like that; even at his peak, he couldn't have scored as many goals as the other teams did in the European Cup in a single season.

Anyway, this ugly "Basque pig" may have been born to play a supporting role and a supporting role for dazzling people like Zidane and Maher. He is willing to take responsibility and be such a person, giving more glory to these historical stars.

But he also believes that as long as he silently gives everything and protects them well, his name will be remembered in the world of football, and people will know that he has made a contribution!
"Fola!" Deschamps shouted his signature celebration and began counting the seconds to cherish his last chance to work with Maher in this tournament.

He enjoys the game and enjoys coaching outstanding players like Maher, which is an honor in itself.

The on-site broadcast camera quickly turned to the fans in the stands, and the first to be shown were the three major figures in French politics who have been frequently linked with football recently.

As before, Mr. Michel, the youngest official, showed the uncalmness and excitement that "befits" his status. He raised his arms and shouted excitedly, and even celebrated with traditional Scottish virtues such as lifting his skirt and exposing his buttocks.

Of course, people nowadays don’t wear kilts anymore, they all wear suits and ties, so this action is at most an emotional release, not a mockery.

The other two big shots were smiling and clapping. Wenger was probably handling affairs at the club and was not with them today, but FIFA President Blatter was there.

The camera then turned to Tottenham superstar Gareth Bale, who also laughed and clapped in celebration, but his smile always gave people a very sneaky feeling, a little bit vulgar.

"Oh? Bale celebrated a goal scored by an Arsenal player? This may have a certain impact on him. I wonder if he has already decided to leave the team.

"But if he goes to Real Madrid, it means Florentino has failed in his pursuit of Maher. In this case, it seems unreasonable to celebrate for Maher. This scene is too weird!
“I know Arsenal fans have dreamed in the forum that if they can get Kyle Walker from Tottenham, why not try Gareth Bale?
"When the time comes, forming a BFM front line of beautiful, wealthy and white people will definitely cause a big stir in European football.

"But I think it's unlikely. As Wales' top star, Bale must have some fame, wealth and commercial pursuits. Going to Real Madrid is a better choice for him.

"He's going to Arsenal, that's as outrageous as him playing professional golf!"

"."

"Beep!!"

The game was immediately restarted. Such an opening goal somewhat hit the morale of the German team. It was only after Löw kept clapping and encouraging on the sidelines that the team regained 80% of the spirit it had at the start of the game.

They started to attack aggressively again, determined to break through the French team's goal with a violent attack.

"Bang!!"

In the 4th minute of the game, Hummels received a corner kick in front of the small penalty area and headed the ball off the ground without being marked.

The ball came too suddenly. The French defense didn't have time to prepare, and neither did he. So the quality of the header was not very high. The ball hit his own foot, bounced a bit and was caught by Lori.

"**!"

"**!"

On the sidelines, Löw and Deschamps cursed at the same time, but the former then clapped his hands, while the latter couldn't help but communicate anxiously with the players on the back line.

Giving the opponent this kind of opportunity in a match like this is undoubtedly sending yourself to the guillotine.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the 7th minute, the French team seized the opportunity to switch from defense to offense and passed the ball to Mahel through several simple passes.

Maher dribbled the ball to face Boateng for the second time. This time, the central defender Hummels on the same side learned his lesson and quickly stepped up to protect Boateng.

But his determination to break through is still very firm. Under this high-speed attack, he has more than 65% chance of breaking through Boateng and Hummels at the same time. He has the confidence.

"Bang, bang, snap!"

Mahel quickly came in front of Boateng, seized the opponent's nervousness, and changed direction with a heel to eat up the opponent's space, and then tried to use the Marseille turn to drill through the gap that Hummels could not fill when he came up to fill the position.

These moves are being practiced as supplementary exercises in the fancy skills category, but the proficiency level is not as high as that of the ox tail.

“Crack!”

Therefore, although Maher's movements were fast and he successfully passed the ball between the two players, he clearly lacked complete control of the ball.

It’s not a big problem, he still has the stamina and speed, which is the insurance he gives himself and the fundamental factor that enables him to take bold actions.

In the future, when these two items reach level 5, his choice of kicking moves may become simpler.

"Boom!"

Just like that, Hummels and Boateng were crushed by Maher's strong breakthrough from the middle in a humiliating state.

"Oh!"

However, the subsequent cross was cleared by Khedira who was chasing back, and the French team got a corner kick opportunity. Nasri went to the corner flag area to take the penalty.

This ball did not create any threat, but it clearly exposed the disadvantage of "top defender Boateng" in front of Maher, which made Löw's face even more embarrassed.

If the opponent continues to cause trouble on the right side of the defense, they will be very close to losing the second goal, unless they can hit the opponent in the middle first to relieve the pressure on the defense.

"Oh!"

In the 15th minute of the game, with Boateng stumbling and defending in a panic, Maher made another breakthrough and made a cross. This time he found Giroud in the middle, who then headed the ball into the goal.

"Bang!" Thanks to Neuer's amazing save, the German team was able to keep their goal intact.

Even many German media couldn't stand it anymore and directly asked questions to condemn Boateng's performance in this game.

Only 15 minutes into the semi-final, the news that Boateng was defended three times and dribbled past three times made headlines in major media outlets and became a hot topic for many fans watching the live broadcast.

Maher's performance inspired other players of the French team to a certain extent, and they saw hope of reaching the final.

"Bang!!"

In the 24th minute of the game, Nasri took advantage of the counterattack and broke through the opponent's defense on the right, and made a low cross towards the middle.

Giroud completed a shovel shot at the front point. At the same time, Maher passed Hummels and came to the middle position, and shoveled his foot to prevent Giroud from leaking the ball.

"Swish!" In the end, Giroud used his excellent sense of goal and ability to seize opportunities to poke the ball into the net, "Swish!"

Neuer tried hard to stop the goal inside the goal, but with such a close distance and such a fast speed, his save just looked like he threw himself into the goal.

Two to zero!
Giroud scores!

"Aaaahhhh!!" The fans of the French team in the stadium were boiling with excitement again, especially the fans of both France and Arsenal, they were so happy at the moment.

"The king of the sky and the tiger of the earth, there is only me, Giroud!" Maher shouted out the famous saying of teacher Zhan Jun, then ran towards Giroud, jumped high, climbed onto the opponent's back, and knocked him down, taking revenge for the pounce.

After Giroud got up, he was determined to complete the move and ran to the sideline to perform his signature sliding kneeling action.

Nasri, who completed the assist, looked at Giroud and Maher in a slightly absent-minded manner. He must have heard some rumors within the team and knew that these two would be teammates next season.

At this moment, in this mood, he couldn't help but envy Giroud and regretted his previous decision.

But he understands that he can't go back. If he strikes and leaves the team, he will always be boycotted by Arsenal fans, which is also a punishment for his youthful and reckless behavior.

"Oh!"

The French players then huddled together and celebrated wildly for getting one step closer to the final, with the Germans slapping their faces in an attempt to sober themselves up in the background.

"Snapped!"

On the sidelines of the court, Deschamps clapped his hands with his assistant coach. He raised his head with a smile on his face, and looked as if he was looking down on the world.

There couldn't be a better start than this, this was something he could never have dreamed of last night!

"Beep!" In the 25th minute of the game, the referee blew the third whistle to kick off in the first half. This is really rare in this European Cup. You can hardly imagine it happening in the semi-finals.

The German players still showed a tenacious attitude. They were not defeated by falling behind by 2 goals. Instead, they learned from their mistakes and continued to bombard the French team's goal.

"Bang!!"

In the 35th minute of the game, Reus' seemingly careless shot outside the penalty area caused Lori to make a save. This seemed unavoidable. In such a big competition, the goalkeeper is always nervous.

Mario Gomez, who followed up and is also an efficient shooter who has scored 4 goals in this European Cup, made a supplementary shot into the net!
"Shh!"

Seeing the football finally hit the French team's net, the Germans, who had been suppressed throughout the game, did not choose to hold the ball back to the center circle, but instead celebrated wildly under the leadership of the muscular center forward Mario.

"One to two! The German team narrowed the score gap! This battle between Germany and France! It's so exciting!

"Two teams with distinct characteristics, fighting against each other! One is a tough offensive bombing! The other relies on fast counterattacks from both sides! It's really exciting!

"The fans who stayed up late to watch the game paid off! The two teams not only met the expectations before the game, but even exceeded them!"

"."

Mario Gomez was waving his fists and shouting like a wild animal on the sidelines. It was not difficult to tell from his lip movements that he was also shouting "vamos", and this has become a phenomenon that has been spread from person to person.

It seems that Spanish football has an impact on all aspects of world football.

"Beep!!"

After the fourth kick-off whistle, all the players were ready for a goal-scoring battle. They knew that if they wanted to win in the end, they had to withstand any unexpected situation.

The thinking of the players of both teams has obviously changed. They have had the experience of breaking through the opponent's goal in a short period of time, which has given them full confidence and made them more arbitrary in choosing shots.

Because of this, they created a lot of good opportunities.

In the 37th minute of the game, the German team almost scored two goals in three minutes. It was Mario Gomez again. This time he created a threat with his strong point, header, and almost broke Lori's goal.

Fortunately, M'Vila, who had retreated, stood in the far corner of the goal, blocked the football with his belly, and kicked the ball towards the front court.

"Oh!"

Three minutes later, Maher made a breakthrough on the left and fired a volley. The ball hit Hummels' shoulder and changed direction and flew to the far corner of the goal, making countless Germans nervous again.

"Clang!" At the critical moment, the crossbar blocked the shot, and the football hit the top edge of the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Mael immediately hugged his face in regret and complained loudly that he had such bad luck.

"Beep!"

Perhaps the shot was too fast and the referee didn't see it clearly, so he pointed to the small penalty area and gave the German team a goal kick.

"suffer?!"

This made Maher very dissatisfied, and he started to pester the referee, complaining to him with his hands spread out all the way. When he realized that the referee was impatient, he left for fear of getting a card.

With this goal kick, the German team once again created a threat in front of the French team's goal.

"Oh!"

Reus, in the attacking midfielder position, went to the right and made a cross shot. The three German players who received the ball in the middle all tried to shoot with a shovel, but they all missed the ball with an outer arc by a hair's breadth.

"Ah!" The regretful cries of the German fans filled the entire stadium. It was also at this time that Lori made a long pass directly to Mahel in the frontcourt position.

As Germany had just launched a massive attack, there were only three defensive players in the backfield at the moment, and they had to face pressure from Maher and Giroud.

"Retreat!"

Hummels ordered Boateng to retreat and stood next to Maher, ready to compete with the opponent for the high ball.

In fact, he had no confidence. Maher's physique was similar to Gomez's, or even stronger. It was obviously not a good choice to compete with him to head the high ball.

But there is no other way. Compared to letting the opponent stop the ball and turn around, letting the opponent try his luck with a header is the best strategy.

Just like that, the two of them jumped at the same time when the football was about to fall over their heads.

Halfway through the jump, Hummels realized that he had been fooled. Maher only made a small jump to deceive him and was not really prepared to compete for the header.

But he was busy interfering with Maher and didn't pay attention to the specific landing point of the ball. He thought that the opponent would make a judgment almost, so he jumped up and pressed the opponent's body, not knowing where the football would land.

Looking up from the air at this moment, the football landed right in front of Maher!
"Snapped!"

Maher lifted the ball up elegantly with the outside of his foot, not giving Hummels a chance to pull and commit a foul. He stopped and dribbled past the opponent, then turned around and ran towards the backcourt of the German team.

By the time Hu Mei turned around, he had already surpassed the opponent by five or six meters.

"A beautiful lob! I've said before that Maher's ball control is world-class! It is precisely because of his solid basic skills that he can get more space for breakthroughs and shots!

"He seemed to be dancing an elegant waltz near the center circle! But his waltz could always fool an excellent central defender like Hummels!
"That's why he's worth 1 million euros! I believe his performance in the European Cup will increase his value a little bit!

"Now the problem is for Boateng. Maher's dribbling distance is very long. Do you dare to rush up suddenly? If you don't dare, you can only do one-on-one defense in the penalty area!
“It’s very difficult no matter which choice you make! Badstuber on the other side is almost unable to provide assistance to Giroud because he is defending him, and he also has to be careful of Maher’s pass!”

"."

Even though Maher deliberately took wide dribbles each time to lure Boateng forward to steal the ball, the opponent still kept his footing and retreated all the way to the penalty area, forcing him to slow down slightly.

It's a good option, but getting into the penalty area, his threat is only greater.

Maher could see the fear and despair on Boateng's face, and he tried to put himself in his shoes, realizing that he might feel the same way.

The most terrifying thing is not that you cannot make the right choice, but that even if you make the right choice, it may lead to wrong results.

Seeing Boateng lower his center of gravity and get ready, Maher suddenly turned sideways, stepped on the ground with his right foot as a supporting foot, and used his left foot to violently lash at the football like a whip.

"Bang!!"

He used the outside of his left foot to rub the ball all the way up, giving the football a sharp arc and speed, and it cut towards the goal like a knife.

The outside of the foot comes straight in!
As a top goalkeeper, Neuer naturally would not have no reaction to such a shot. He flew forward and threw himself out. His big dark hand touched the football, but the football passed by his fingertips.

"Shhh!!"

When he heard the sound of the ball hitting the net behind him when he landed, he became desperate. In less than one and a half minutes, the French team counterattacked and scored three goals. How the hell was they going to play this game?
Maher is a human?!

The moment he hit the ground, he saw Boateng still standing there in the same posture, but his head turned to look at him. He looked like a fool and hadn't reacted yet how the ball went in.

Neuer: “.”

Boateng: “.”

The two of them looked at each other, and then they also looked at Löw on the sidelines.

"Yeahhhhh!!"

"Mael!!"

The cheers that resounded throughout the stadium arrived at the Leaf Stadium for the fourth time. The goal battle always brings overflowing emotions to the fans and makes people feel unprecedented passion.

“Ding ding ding ding!”

The French fans reacted quickly. After the first wave of cheers, they sang in unison the new Mahre song that had spread to the fan circle: "Handsome boy, miracle foot! Deadly long shots and crazy headers like bullets.!

"He opens fire! You have no choice but to watch him in admiration!"

"Hey now! Speed ​​up! Fight for victory! Because no one shines as bright as you!
"There is only one Leon Maher in this world!!"

As the song was playing, Maher enthusiastically walked around the confused Boateng, jumping up and punching every two or three steps, "Come on!! Come on!!"

8th goal in the European Cup!
The most important thing is, he scored twice in the first half and saw hope of completing a hat trick and tying the record!

Platini once scored 5 goals in 9 European Cup games. He is now expected to score 5 goals in 9 games in the more competitive modern football world!
After reaching the sidelines, he stomped his feet, clenched his fists and spread his arms, and roared one last time toward the fans singing in the stands, "Yeah!!"

At this moment, he felt that the Leaf Stadium belonged to him, the whole world belonged to him, and everyone's eyes were on him.

ps: I will still strive to update twice tomorrow. Please supervise me, and scold me if I fail to do so.
