When Hulay suddenly shot a cold arrow about thirty meters away from the goal, forcing Penalva to make a world-class save, Melly was actually standing about ten meters away from Hulay "watching the show."

Seeing Penalva throw the football away, Melli also let out a sigh of relief.

He didn't return to defense just now, of course because that was the task assigned to him by the head coach.

But it is also his consciousness.

He knows that his current physical fitness is not luxurious enough for him to squander at will.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

His physical strength should also be used when creating murderous intent.

Before that, he could only place his hopes on his teammates, believing that they would try their best to create such an opportunity for himself.

※※※

After Penalva knocked out Hulay's shot with both fists, the Chinese team got a frontcourt throw-in.

However, this time they failed to take advantage of the opportunity of the throw-in to threaten Argentina's goal again - Xia Xiaoyu's long shot went over the crossbar, and it was much higher.

Argentina wins the ball.

Goalkeeper Penalva did not drive the ball forward with a big foot, but penetrated the ball through short passes from the backcourt and advanced the football step by step.

Farias dropped deep and looked for the ball from his teammates.

It's not only Melly who can move the football forward by dribbling, but also Farias.

After all, Farias is young and has better physical strength.

So at this time, you can still do this kind of work of retreating to catch the ball and then bringing the football forward.

As he dribbled the ball forward, Luo Kai chased after him.

Although he could hardly run anymore, Luo Kai still gritted his teeth and persisted.

Thanks to his high-intensity training and ten years of persistence, as well as the fact that Farias is easier to deal with than Meili and his physical fitness is better than Chen Xingyi, he can still complete the pursuit until now.

After Farias dribbled the ball across the center line, he found that Luo Kai was still behind him and had not been thrown away by him.

He did not continue to dribble forward because there were two lines of defense for the Chinese team further forward. When they and Luo Kai attacked him from both sides, he might lose the ball.

For this attack, everyone else in Argentina has already stepped forward.

If the ball is lost at this time, the Chinese team will counterattack. Argentina's defense is empty and it is very likely to lose the ball!

The ball was conceded at this time, but it was a sure win by the Chinese team...

So Farias calmed down and did not act recklessly. He made an emergency stop, shook off Luo Kai who was chasing after him, turned around and passed the ball to his midfielder teammate Giampaoli.

When Giampaoli received the ball, he was still behind the center line, less than half court.

Argentina's offense has not even advanced into the Chinese team's defensive third zone.

The three central defenders of the Chinese team are standing on the 30-meter zone line at this moment. In front of them are Argentina's centers Grazini and Melli.

Grazzini is in the middle, and Melli is on the right rib at the far end.

In front of Giampaoli is the Chinese team's forward line, with the double midfielders Ou Yangjin and Xia Xiaoyu lying about five or six meters in front of Giampaoli.

Zhang Qinghuan was in the center circle, blocking Zhan Pauli's way of dribbling the ball to the center.

Luo Kai had just run back, and now he was on the forward line, staring at Farias.

The Chinese team's left midfielder Peng Weijun was also at the far end of the court at this time, and he was looking back at Melli.

※※※

Peng Weijun was originally positioned in the defense as a full midfielder.

He's guarding Lesman.

But when he discovered that Melli moved from the attacking midfielder position to the forward line, standing parallel to Grazzini.

He was stunned for a moment, realizing that Merry's appearance in that place was a bit unusual.

At this moment, the shouts above the stadium suddenly increased!

Peng Weijun saw Meili suddenly start thrusting forward!

"Giampaoli is looking up...Gianpaoli...passing the ball diagonally!"

Giampaoli, who had not yet passed the halfway line, saw Melli's sudden advance and immediately kicked the ball with understanding, sending a diagonal pass over the top!

What we are looking for is Meili who penetrates forward!

Peng Weijun ran wildly, chasing from the forward line to the back line, with the target also being Melli!

※※※

On the back line, Wang Guangwei also noticed that Melli moved from the attacking midfielder position to the front line, forming a "double forward" position with Grazzini.

He realized that Melli's position was to get closer to the goal, so he decided to step forward and stick to Melli to prevent the latter from easily getting the ball.

But just as he took a step forward, Melli suddenly started and Giampaoli passed the ball.

He had no choice but to stop suddenly, turn around and run back immediately.

His reaction was not unpleasant, but it was still not fast enough in the face of Merry's determined forward thrust!

When he turned around, Merry had already run in front of him with his speed advantage!

The Argentine fans in the stands screamed. This is Argentina's best offensive opportunity so far!

※※※

When Farias dribbled the ball forward from the backcourt, Melly was already running forward. He did not stay in the attacking midfielder position to support Farias, but ran to the forward position to challenge Wang Guangwei.

Move over there.

At the same time, he turned back to observe the situation behind him.

Seeing that Farias failed to get rid of Roquet and knocked the football back to Giampaoli, Melli did not retreat with him. He still firmly stayed in front.

At the same time, he looked back at Giampaoli and found that Giampaoli was also looking at him.

Although there was a distance of thirty meters, Melly believed that Giampaoli understood what he meant.

This was the moment he had been waiting for so long!

He immediately started to rush forward!

At the same time, he did not forget to look back and observe. As expected, Giampaoli made a long pass!

Then he withdrew his gaze, no longer caring about the situation behind him, and just focused on running forward.

Good steel should be used on the blade, so now it is the blade!

He has accumulated all his strength for a long time and wants to unleash it all at this moment without any reservations!

The lightning-fast Merry sprinted at full speed, running as if the race had just begun!

"Merry! It's so fast!"

※※※

Melli, who had already surpassed Wang Guangwei, looked back again, and the football had already flown from behind, just over Wang Guangwei's head and appeared beside him!

He saw Merry twisting his body and using his left thigh to gently remove the flying football. Then, following the normal swing of the instep of his left foot as he ran, he gently sent the football forward.

At the same time, he accelerated with all his strength!

Just like that, he entered the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team!

And because this set of connecting movements was so good, he didn't slow down at all when he stopped the ball to adjust.

Not only did Wang Guangwei not take the opportunity to shorten the distance between the two, he also slightly moved away from Wang Guangwei who was about to catch up, leading by more than half a body!

"Melli!" The Argentinian commentator clenched his fists and shouted when he saw this scene, "Melli! HALA Melli! HALA Melli! HALA Melli! HALA Melli..." (Note 1)

In his rapid repetition, Melli, who was chasing the football, adjusted his pace at the same time, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan and raised his right leg!

Shoot!

Wang Guangwei took advantage of Melli's opportunity to adjust his pace and finally caught up. When he saw Melli about to shoot, he immediately tackled the ball and tried to block it.

Lin Zhiyuan made a hasty save in the middle of the attack. He waved his arms and rushed to the far point - that was the direction of Melli's shot!

But neither Wang Guangwei nor Lin Zhiyuan touched the ball!

Meili's ejection was so sudden that Lin Zhiyuan responded hastily and was completely unable to react.

When the football flew over his head, he waved his hands out...

The football has flown into the goal behind him!

The Argentine commentator was like a tireless "iron lung man". The moment the football flew into the goal, he switched from the previous machine gun-like rapid repetition to a long-drawn-out shout:

"Merry——GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!! GOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! Genius! A great performance by a super genius on the World Cup final stage! Unparalleled! Merry——!!"

※※※

"...passed directly behind Wang Guangwei! Remove his left foot...danger!!"
