Chapter 2552: Lost again (1) In fact, Neto’s move was not considered overconfident. After all, the second half of the game had just begun. Valencia’s tactic was to carry out a strangulation in the midfield, forcing the Espanyol to continuously pass the ball back. He did not expect the Espanyol’s second pass to accurately find Xia ruofei, and Xia ruofei easily dodged the interception that Valencia’s players were determined to get. Also, Xia ruofei’s decisiveness was beyond Neto’s expectations. In fact, Xia ruofei did not even look in the direction of the goal. It was not until he lifted his foot that Neto realized that it was a hanging shot. Neto’s eyes narrowed. He stared at the football as he quickly retreated. At this time, Neto was not very flustered, because the position of Xia ruofei’s kick was too far from the goal. According to his judgment, even if the ball was shot within the goal range, he would have enough time to react. However, Neto’s expression quickly changed. He found that the speed of Xia ruofei’s hanging goal was beyond his expectations. It was much faster than he had predicted. In the blink of an eye, the football had already flown into the penalty area. Neto hurriedly accelerated his retreat, but it was too late. The ball was already over his head, and he was still a few meters away from the goal. Neto gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in the process of retreating. He pulled up in place, hoping to intercept the ball in the air. However, Xia ruofei’s leg shot was executed perfectly. Even if Neto jumped with all his might, he still could not touch the ball, not to mention that he jumped in the process of retreating, which made the height even less. Neto could only watch the football fly past at least 20 to 30 centimeters from the highest point of his fingertips. When he fell heavily to the ground, he could still see the football whizzing into the net from the corner of his eye. It bounced around inside the goal and finally stopped.

Even puado jumped out of his seat reflexively, but he immediately realized that the one in the limelight was the Chinese player he hated the most, so the smile on his face was retracted before it could bloom. However, the substitute player beside him held him and shouted in his ear,""This goal was too cowardly! It’s so F * cking awesome, isn’t it?" Puador forced out a smile and said,"Yes, yes ..." The substitute did not notice puado’s perfunctory reply. In fact, he was already in an extremely excited state. After hugging puado, he immediately turned around to hug another teammate.
