God Of football - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Reversing The Score Chapter 110: Reversing The Score “Attack into defence,”, Izan thought as he still had some gas left in him.

Standing up, Izan called for the ball which was still with Correia.

Correia saw Izan’s call for the ball and sent it his way.

Izan carefully trapped the ball before slipping his right foot under the ball, sending it flying towards Diego López, who was just returning from the opponent’s half.

The Winger controlled the ball with his chest before setting it down.

Another counter was on.

…

The Athletic Defense scrambled back, trying to get to Diego López, but the latter had already turned on the jets.

Izan, who initiated the attack cut the field in half as he galloped towards Diego’s position.

After getting to the byline, Diego Lopez looked inside the box in hopes of finding Valencia numbers, but Hugo Duro was the only player in the box at that moment, and even he wasn’t in a position to receive the ball.

De Marcos rushed towards Diego Lopez after catching up.

Using his momentum against him, Diego Lopez flicked the ball to his left causing the onrushing defender to falter in his steps.

The sudden change in direction caused de Marcos to fall.

Diego López sensed this opportunity and tried to get away but he was caught by the outstretched legs of De Marcos.

“Eeey, what the heck is that challenge” “Is he trying to hurt him” The Valencia crowd roared in anger after they saw that horrible tackle from De Marcos.

‘Fweeee’ the referee blew his whistle and acknowledged De Marcos with a Yellow Card.

De Marcos didn’t say much and just walked off.

The referee pointed to the spot where the foul occurred before heading towards the Athletic Bilbao players, who were having a hard time choosing where to build the wall.

“Will you be sending it in, or will you be going for it?” Gaya said as he stood beside Izan.

Izan looked at Gaya and smiled.

“I’ll probably be crossing it in, but I won’t promise that,” Izan said with a cheeky grin.

“Well, at least you have to test the keeper.

I believe you can do that” Gaya said before walking to the edge of the box.

“Whoooooo” Izan breathed out as he stared at the goal “Max, you know what to do, right?” Izan said with a thought.

‘Ding[Pinpoint Accuracy LV 2 activated] Izan took some steps back as his eyes kept glued to the goal.

As the referee’s whistle sounded, Izan slowly walked up to the ball before unleashing a shot towards goal.

The whole stadium watched on as the ball travelled towards Goal.

Unai Simon watched as the ball came his way.

He quickly took his steps, positioned himself, and got a palm to it as the ball hit the post and came back out.

Hugo Duro stretched his legs and got a touch to the loose ball but the ball was cleared by Sancet before it could cross the line.

The Valencia fans and players alike all claimed that the ball had crossed the line, but the referee disagreed with them.

After a bit of back and forth with the players, the referee issued two yellow cards to both Gaya and Correira.

After the scuffle with the referee, the match continued.

After seeing how the gaps in his set-up were being taken advantage Ernesto Valverde, Athletic Bilbao’s Coach made his players pay special attention to the little culprit, who was none other than Izan.

This led to a few altercations between both teams.

In the 33rd minute, Izan got the ball in the middle after a pass was mistimed.

After getting the ball, Izan tried to move forward with the ball, but Oihan Sancet held him by the collar, choking him a bit.

[I know these words make your toes curl] Gaya ran towards the scene after seeing the challenge on Izan and so did all the Valencia players.

“He’s on a yellow” Izan thought as Gaya approached before standing up quickly.

“It’s OK, Jose”, Izan said after he intercepted Gaya on his way to argue with the referee.

Gaya, who saw Izan’s face, calmed down.

The referee issued another Yellow card to Sancet.

The Valencia players and Fans alike seemed satisfied with the referee’s decision as the issue died down.

Izan signalled to Diego Lopez after catching the ball.

López understood Izan intentions and started making a run.

“That’s it”, Izan muttered as the Athletic Bilbao players followed him.

Izan quickly smacked the ball, producing a well-grounded pass.

His quick freekick caught the opponent side off guard as they rushed back back.

The ball travelled but it went to Fran Pérez instead.

The Athletic Bilbao players who had followed Diego López, now found themselves scrambling to get to the right Flank.

“Thank you,” Fran Pérez said jokingly as he got the ball.

The latter began with his run but came toe to toe with Yuri Berchiche as the latter tried to dispossess him.

Fran Perez, ever the pace abuser, sent the ball around Yuri and followed it.

Yuri, who knew about the potential trouble that could happen, held Fran back, but the forward dragged on before falling just as he got to the byline.

The referee blew his whistle pointing to where Fran Pérez fell.

The Athletic Bilbao players rushed towards the referee trying to debate the position of the foul.

The referee had made his decision and even issued a yellow card to Berenguer who was being disrespectful.

“These people are playing real dirty,” a Valencia fan said.

“I don’t know if the referee wants someone to get injured before he gets serious.

Some of these tackles are horrendous,” another fan said.

Fran Pérez, who had been brought down, was having a hard time getting up.

The referee signalled for the medics to come.

Fran Pérez, who lay on the ground, received medical attention, but it looked like he couldn’t go on anymore.

The Medics called for a stretcher before scooping Fran Pérez out of the pitch.

[On the touchline] “Okay, Pietro.

Switch with Izan and let him go on the wing.

Tell him to cut inside and test the keeper or use that vision of his to cause trouble while you enter the box to try and find a goal, okay?” Coach Baraja rushed as Pietro wore his jersey.

“Okay, coach”, Pietro said as Baraja was done giving his instructions.

The referee halted the play and allowed Diego López to go out while Pietro came in.

Pietro quickly went to Izan and relayed the instructions to him.

Izan nodded as he approached Gaya who held the ball.

Izan, looking at the wall being set in front of him, planted his left foot beside the ball before putting it down.

Taking a deep breath, Izan took some steps back.

The stadium became quiet for some time as the referee went through some free-kick procedure.

“Max, same as before,” Izan said with a thought.

‘Ding [ Pinpoint Accuracy LV 2] ‘ “When is it going to get to level 3?” Izan smiled wryly as he looked at the system message in front of him.

As the referee blew his whistle, Izan made a slow run-up to the ball before unleashing a shot towards the far post.

The stadium watched on, especially the Valencia fans who knew of Izan’s free-kick prowess.

The ball wasn’t in that good of a position but a genius shines everywhere.

The ball went right before swerving left.

Unai Simon, who had seen Izan’s freekick prowess first-hand during their time with the National team, took his steps quickly and lunged the ball as he tried to get to it.

The Athletic Bilbao fans who thought the ball was going out found it suddenly curving towards the goal.

Their eyes shot out as they stared at the ball.

Unai Simon, in the goal, lunged at the ball in the air and got his fingertips to it.

Thankfully for the keeper, that was enough to change the trajectory of the ball as the ball smacked the inside of the pole before falling on the goal line once more.

Yuri Berchiche was near the goal, stuck his leg out, and cleared the ball before any of the opponent players could approach.

The Athletic Bilbao fans and players alike sighed in relief as the ball went out of bounds.

Ruben Baraja, who saw the ball almost go in but come back out, held his hair in distress.

“How are they so lucky” he said as he continued pulling his hair up.

“Do you want to get bald?

Maria won’t like that,” Moreno said, causing Ruben to hit his actions.

“Ahem*, let’s focus on the match, shall we?” Ruben Baraja said sharply, putting on a serious expression as he looked at the scene unfolding in front of him.

“Only Maria can set him straight.

At least her name is useful for me” Moreno thought as he looked at Ruben Baraja.

Pietro, who had come on earlier, picked the ball that had gone out of bounds and launched into the box.

The ball was headed back out but this time it went to the edge of the box.

The players saw Izan appear behind the ball suddenly, his legs poised, ready to Volley it into the back of the net.

The Bilbao players scrambled to get to him but Izam wasn’t shooting.

As the ball fell, Izan took a deft touch.

The whole stadium watched as the ball rolled slowly behind the Bilbao defence.

The ball was agonizingly slow, as if teasing the Bilbao players as it went behind, but none of them could get to it.

The ball slipped behind as the Bilbao fans waited for the goalkeeper to smother the ball, but then Correia appeared.

His sudden appearance caused a sense of foreboding in the home fans.

Correia controlled the ball as Unai Simon approached.

Correia faked a shot before rolling the ball to his left.

Unai Simon, who had reacted during the faked shot, could only watch as Correia strode into the goal with the ball.

“GOOAAAAAALLLLLL, Valencia.

Los Ches reversed the score right before the 40th minute’s Mark.

Correia controls a deceitful pass from none other than Izan before going around the keeper and walking the ball into the net.

This is as good as it gets folks.

40th minute, Valencia 2, Athletic Bilbao 1 ” The Commentator went about his job expertly as he described the scenes.

Correia rushed towards Izan and hugged him.

The Valencia bench and staff celebrated the goal like it was their last.

Ruben Baraja, who wanted to rush towards the pitch, was held back by Moreno.

“Do you want a card?” Moreno said.

“That wouldn’t be that bad,” Baraja said as Moreno let go.

“How about I tell Maria” Moreno said, causing a sudden shift in Baraja’s demeanour.

“Umm, that won’t be necessary, please,”, Baraja said before walking to his seat.

The whole of Valencia, both at home and away at the Estadio San Mames, celebrated the goal.

Izan and Correia who were beneath a pile of players, finally got up and walked towards their half.

The excitement was only beginning.

A/n: Hello guys.
