Chapter 95

______________________________________________

beep!

The game was declared to begin at this point by the on-field referee as well.

The official start of the first round of the Europa League group stage from the 2002–2003 season has occurred!

Fans watched the game intently in front of television broadcasts in numerous countries.

The game's broadcast was also initiated by the commentator in the live broadcast booth.

"Spartak Moscow served the first half as the game began."

"Centre Thiago, a young player from Sparta Moscow who is only 19 years old this year, hits the ball in the middle and leads the team in scoring."

"Serie A or some of the best clubs in the Premier League must be in his future."

"All right, let us go back to watching the field."

on the playing field.

The players of the two teams promptly began their own defense and offense after Moscow Sparta passed the ball out in the middle.

The entire Blackpool team was arranged in a four-three-three formation, pressing Spartak Moscow's possession players.

This oppression is not a slow oppression per se, but an oppression that is moving quickly!

The Spartak Moscow players are motivated by this beat, so they need to pass the ball more quickly and run more aggressively to maintain possession!

Because of this, the game seems to be fast-paced from the beginning.

boom!

The Spartak Moscow midfielder passes the ball to the player next to him before scurrying forward.

boom!

The ball was swiftly returned to him by teammates as well.

The midfielder for Spartak Moscow looked up as the ball started to move and studied the front court, searching for a teammate who could react.

However, this player looked up and saw a handsome-looking opponent player sprinting over in front of him before he could see his teammates in the frontcourt!

The Spartak Moscow midfielder took the initiative to throw his body out and get ready to defend the ball right away by drawing on his prior game experience.

boom!

But after feeling a tremendous force strike his back, he lost control of his body and squatted on the grass as a whole!

"suffer!"

The midfield player signaled to the referee that it was a foul ball after he went to the ground and waved his hands.

But this is the match for the Europa League. Under the ultra-fast rhythm, it brings more fierce confrontation!

The whistle-blowing scale of the referee will also loosen, thereby ignoring the cries of the Moscow Spartans and implicitly acknowledging that this is a fair collision!

midfield.

The football was rolling steadily beneath Kaka's feet as he drove it toward the front court after breaking it, and he was moving very quickly.

He saw his opponent's weakness early on in the game—that he had not yet become accustomed to the rhythm. Certainly, he would need to get up quickly after stealing the ball.

Attempt to capitalize on the moment when the opposition's foothold is unstable and immediately increase your score advantage!

"Kaka, take the ball off!"

The general commentator in the live commentary seat looked expectantly at the field as his tone grew excited as well.

"Blackpool took advantage of the opportunity to break quickly as the Spartak Moscow players failed to adapt to the rhythm."

"Kaka keeps pushing the ball forward, making it impossible for the defenders behind him to keep up with him. This player's rapid advancement has always given Blackpool an advantage."

"He is thrusting into Sparta Moscow's ribs now!"

Kaka has carried the ball into the hazardous Spartak Moscow backcourt area on the field.

Additionally, a defender for the opposition quickly adjusted to mark him.

boom!

The opponent's defender was startled by Kaka's abrupt direction change as he was racing past him!

Then, in preparation for a long shot from outside the penalty area, his right leg and left hand both swung up and back.

The full-back closest to Kaka, Spartak Moscow, raced up and was prepared to take off to block the eye-catching!

boom!

However, Kaka abruptly retreated to his center of gravity and slid a quick pass to the full-back who had charged up behind him.

There, the ribs are Sparta Moscow's weakest defensive point!

Kaka broke the initial defensive formation, disrupted the opponent's defense, and created this small space!

Beach, Blackpool's right winger, got hot halfway through.

Despite his slow speed, he is still able to receive the football steadily when the opponent's defense is open and the neutral space is too big.

Beach glanced up to see what was happening in the opponent's penalty area, where a central defender was charging in his direction.

At this point, Ibrahimovic was being guarded in the middle by the full-back and central defender on the opposing side, who were getting ready to go forward and challenge for the header while the former was primarily marking the ground.

Then, with his position relatively wide, Cristiano Ronaldo was keen to pass the ball.

boom!

After turning away from it, Beech rubbed the football's underside with his right foot and tried to kick it as high into the air as he could in an attempt to get past the middle defense and strike the back!

The ball shot into the air right away, taking a parabolic flight path that took it across the center of Moscow Sparta and toward the back point!

Seeing the trajectory of the football's flight, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was positioned at the back, leaped high!

He leaped to a great height, and the air momentarily stopped!

He pushed his waist and abdomen, driving his entire upper body, shaking his neck, and smashing it towards the football when it finally flew to the top of his head!

boom!

When a muted sound was heard, Ronaldo kicked the football into the air!

Immediately, the football made a sharp turn and raced toward the goal's back!

Eh!

The ball struck the far corner of the goal before the Spartak Moscow goalkeeper could react!

"yeahhhhhhhhh...!!"

"yeahhhhhhhhh...!!"

The Blackpool supporters who attended the expedition instantly erupted into jubilant celebration!

One to zero!

They scored a goal right at the beginning of the game!

"Cristiano Ronaldo!!"

The general commentator at the commentary seat could not help but get excited, saying, "Wonderful header!"

"GO00000000000000000000000000000DAAAAAAALLLLL!!"

"Blackpool used an unmatched counterattack to smash Spartak Moscow's goal away in the 23rd second of the game!"

"The Portuguese teenager, seventeen years old, scored his first goal in the Europa League!"

It is incredible! Nobody anticipated this speed!"

The general commentator was so excited that he did not even remember to look at the guest providing commentary next to him; his eyes were a little smug.

And this visitor who is closer to Sparta in Moscow.

At this point, his expression was a little confused, as if he had not fully responded.

This is in?

He has just wrapped up his laudatory remarks about Sparta Moscow; this is only the beginning.

Still, he was a good confidant and changed his state as needed.

"Sparta Moscow was caught off guard. "Blackpool players are extremely intelligent."

"They will not be under as much pressure going forward, with this unexpected goal taking the lead."

"I am not sure if I can maintain this lead through the end of the half. Blackpool will not stand a chance if I keep it for a while."

The general commentator beside him turned over the silver and let out another deep, inward sigh.

He did not put up with it this time and answered straight with a yin and yang: "Well! Yes, it came as a surprise."

"This goal occurred because the Spartak Moscow players were unable to keep up with Blackpool's rhythm in the first place, reacting half a beat too late."

"If their players can not adapt in the future, I think the game will become a bit monotonous."

The general commentator finished his sentence and grinned in relief, returning his focus to the field.
