"Baptista!"
"Without stopping the ball!"
"From outside the penalty area, a direct volley!"
Chen Zhong's header flicked the ball, ripping a small gap in Valencia's defense. Baptista, charging from the back, saw the pathway opened by Valencia's players and knew that hesitation leads to defeat.
His body was fully stretched, and his powerful thigh struck the ball solidly.
Baptista felt this shot was his masterpiece.
It's there, absolutely there!
He looked towards the goal with great anticipation, but the German goalkeeper Hildebrand, often criticized by the media, was exactly where he needed to be.
He made a decisive dive and managed to tip the ball with his fingertips.
The ball changed direction, hitting the post and bouncing out.
"There's still a chance!"
"Chen Zhong!"
"Attempts a follow-up shot!"
Chen Zhong was never one to stand still and watch the ball. Even before he landed, he was already moving towards the goal, intent on going for the follow-up shot.
