Chapter 627: Party Poopers’s Party Poopers II

#43rd minute…

{Uventus have a corner}

{There are two minutes left of normal time in the first half, and Parma still lead}

{They can’t let down their guards for a minute as they are up against a team that has proven time and time again that they are dangerous in the air and dangerous on set-pieces and a corner kick is a combination of both] the commentator said while as the players of the both teams scrambled around in the Parma penalty box as they awaited the corner.

Every Parma player was either following their man or getting into spaces they thought the ball would come from, however, they didn’t have too much time as the referee soon blew his whistle for the corner kick to be taken.

Cuadrado ran up to the ball and sent an out-swinging cross into the penalty box from the right.

The ball curled powerfully into the aerospace above the Parma penalty box and the players of the two teams who were nearest to the ball jumped at it, trying to reach it, however, it was Alex Sandro who reached it first.

With a powerful header, he directed the ball at the top left corner of the goal, prompting a powerful dive from the opposition goalkeeper.

Unfortunately for the Parma goalkeeper, he was only 6 feet tall and couldn’t reach the ball in time despite throwing himself at it, and the ball smashed into the back of the goal.

{GOAL! Uventus!} the commentator screamed excitedly as Alex Sandro jumped to his feet after falling earlier and dashing down to the sidelines.

{Right before half-time, Uventus have their equalizer!}

{We said it and they’ve done it, powerful effort to reach that header from the Brazilian. He deserved nothing less than that peach of a goal after a header like that!} The commentator couldn’t and wouldn’t keep his mouth shut about the goal while the Uventus players and their supporters celebrated wildly within the stadium and outside the stadium.

{Parma are now back in familiar territory, and the waters are looking as treacherous as ever}

{With Uventus getting this equalizer just before half-time, they will be coming into the second half sharper than before and heavily intent on building off their momentum}

{Hell, we may not even have to wait till the second half before something more exciting might happen} the commentator said, but in the end, the game resumed and the referee blew his whistle two minutes later with neither team having been able to further disturb the scoreboard operator.

Jason and the other bench players followed along to the locker room for the half-time meeting, and just like the commentator had expected, the manager was motivating the players while giving updates to the game plan that would help the players achieve a better performance against their opponents.

Fifteen minutes later, the players of the two teams walked back onto the field, ready to give their all in the second half of the game.

*Fweeeeeeeeeee!*

{The second half is underway!}

{Parma are kicking off the second half, and they’re playing the ball back to their defenders right off the bat!}

{It seems to be clear what the Parma manager wants from his players… Control}

{Perhaps a possession oriented game plan to help them retain the lead while also holding on to the ball to ensure that their opponents can’t have enough time with the ball to build any dangerous momentum} the co-commentator analyzed as he watched the Parma players pass the ball around carefully, while the Uventus players chased after them.

{Pretty solid idea, however, they have to be careful to not lose the ball in dangerous places against this opponent} the commentator agreed, but right after the commentator’s words, a Parma succumbed to the pressure of three Uventus players rushing at him and he made a bad touch on the ball, allowing Uventus to instantly steal possession.

{Turnover from Parma in their own half!The commentator squealed excitedly, but no one was paying him any attention and were instead more focused on the Uventus team that suddenly seemed to be starting a counterattack.

{Ramsey to Chiesa on the left, Chiesa dashes forward and tries to cut in, but there’s someone in his way!}

{Pass behind him to Alex Sandro} the commentator said as Chiesa turned and passed the ball back to Alex Sandro, who had advanced pretty deep into the Parma half of the field.

On receiving the ball, Alex Sandro controlled the ball’s pace and made an in-field pass to Ramsey.

Ramsey caught the ball and tried to find Dybala on the right side, but the path was blocked and he immediately tried to turn back and find another option, but the Parma players weren’t going to leave him for too long.

With a Parma player quickly reaching him and slamming continuously into him from behind, Ramsey barely managed to roll the ball back towards Alex Sandro, who was rushing forward to support him.

Noticing that he would reach the ball about two meters away from the edge of the penalty box, Alex Sandro immediately thought to shoot.

On reaching the ball, he didn’t waste any time and hit it.

{Puts his foot through with it!} the commentator screamed as Alex Sandro hit the ball, but before he was even done speaking, the Parma goal was once again sent bulging.

{GOAL!!!}

{From one goal behind, Uventus have now blasted themselves into the lead!}

{A beautiful header two minutes before the end of the first half and a powerful drive into the back of the goal two minutes after the second half began. This man is almost single-handedly carrying his team, and that is not something we see from a defender very often} the commentator said, but Alex Sandro was too busy celebrating his second goal of the game to care about the commentator’s words.

Like the commentator said, it was not every day a defender carried his team, and it was even rarer when a defender did it by scoring two goals and helping his team stage a comeback, hence, Alex Sandro was over the moon and was already having designs on a hat-trick.

It was very well within the realms of possibility now, after all.
