Chapter 2055 The Sinner Zhou Zijing
Lilith Raza stood in the stands of Southfield Stadium, London Bridge's home ground, nervously watching the game on the pitch.
As the game time approached, London Bridge, playing at home, stepped up its offensive, hoping to win the game.
Their current score with Leeds City is 1:1.
This team, which had nothing left to fight for, did not languish in the game as most people imagined.
They were quite tenacious.
Therefore, despite having the advantage of home court, London Bridge did not successfully win the opponent at home like chopping melons and vegetables.
However, during this period, London Bridge's offensive became increasingly fierce, and Leeds City's defense was in chaos, and it felt like it might lose the ball at any time.
Lilith Raza was of course on Leeds City's side in this game, as she was afraid of being scored by London Bridge.
Tramed has been leading Liverpool United 1:0 for a long time, and the score has not changed. She has not paid much attention to the game there for a while.
As a result, at this moment, a huge cheer suddenly sounded from the sky above Southfield Stadium.
If Lilith hadn't been paying attention to the game and just listened to the cheers, she might have thought that London Bridge had scored a goal.
Now since there is no goal at London Bridge, this sudden cheer means...
Lilith quickly took out her phone and checked the status of another game.
Before she could fully unlock her phone, the real-time updates popped up on the lock screen:
"77′, Gouveron Risdik scored, Tramed 1:1 Liverpool United!"
Lilith's pupils suddenly enlarged.
Something she didn't want to see happened!
And this is exactly what London Bridge wants to see!
Before this game, outside analysts believed that if London Bridge wanted to make a successful comeback, they must first defeat Leeds City at home, and secondly, they must count on Liverpool United to be better, preferably by defeating Tramed. If not, then you have to draw with the opponent.
In this way, London Bridge can use the goal difference advantage to pull Tramed from the top of the league and replace it themselves.
Originally, London Bridge had the upper hand during this period, and the offensive was so fierce that a goal could be scored at any time.
Now they are encouraged by this news, maybe Leeds City will lose a goal soon...
Tramed was tied and London Bridge defeated Leeds City. Once these two conditions are met, London Bridge can become the first in the league, and then beat Lancashire Bury away in the last round to win the cup!
Lilith didn't bother to click in to see how Liverpool United scored. She put her phone back in her pocket and turned her attention to the stadium again.
The most noteworthy thing now is no longer the red-top stadium, but Southfield Stadium.
As long as London Bridge cannot defeat Leeds City at home, there will still be a two-point gap between the two sides.
But listening to the growing cheers from the stands, Lilith felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
Emotionally she hoped that Leeds City could withstand London Bridge, but rationally told her that this would be difficult.
※※※
The Red Roof Stadium was completely silent...no, not completely silent, because there were still a few Liverpool United fans cheering and celebrating.
Because the silence of Tramed fans made their cheers particularly clear.
After scoring the goal, Liverpool United forward Gouveron Ristik did not celebrate wildly. Amid the cheers of his own fans, he rushed into the goal, picked up the unnoticed football, held it in his arms, turned around and ran towards the center circle. .
While running, he waved his fists to boost morale and encourage his teammates to keep up their efforts.
For Liverpool United, who want to compete for European qualification, just getting a point away from home is not enough.
Their goal in this game is very clear, that is to get all three points.
After holding back for most of the game, Tramed finally waited for the opportunity to relax and make a mistake.
Now, of course, we must seize this opportunity, go all out to win another victory, and end the game.
The Tramed players seemed to be stunned by the sudden loss of the ball. They stood still and watched the Liverpool United players surrounded Risdick and ran back to their own half.
The television cameras scanned Tramed's players one after another, most of them stunned.
When Shen Lang saw them like this, he scolded them again: "Do Tramed's players think they have won the championship? Everyone is probably thinking about how to celebrate this shocking reversal of the championship, right? They would actually do it in front of What the hell are you doing at such an important moment! Do you really think your opponent can be pinched?"
This is a bit of a revenge, because Shen Lang is not angry that Tramed may lose the league championship, he simply wants to scold Tramed, and now he finally gets a chance to do it openly. Of course he had to curse enough.
"Luo Kai's performance in the past half of the season was so good, he was like a god from heaven! As a result, he ended up with such a group of teammates that he couldn't lead! He couldn't lead him at all! My heart ached when I saw it! It's better not to renew the contract, and with this How can a group of insects win the championship together?”
※※※
What Lilith Raza was most worried about happened.
Just five minutes after Liverpool United scored, in the 82nd minute, London Bridge forward William Sutton took the ball in the penalty area and was tripped to the ground by Leeds City center back Vaughan Acheson.
The referee blew the whistle decisively, whistled Acheson for a foul, and awarded London Bridge a penalty kick!
Following the referee's decision, Southfield Stadium burst into cheers.
Leeds City players surrounded the referee, trying to defend their teammates.
However, judging from the slow-motion replay, Acheson's foul action is very clear. Maybe his power is not enough to make Sutton fall so exaggeratedly, but the foul is no problem. After all, fouls don't depend on how much strength you use.
The final referee's decision cannot be changed, and the video referee team also supports the referee's decision.
London Bridge had a golden opportunity to take the lead and even win the game!
The penalty was taken personally by William Sutton, who made it.
Even though this is the easiest way to score among all methods of scoring, the players standing at the penalty spot still have to bear tremendous pressure at this time.
Because it is easy to kick in but difficult to miss, it means you have to kick in.
This is also an important goal related to whether London Bridge can win the league championship. The expectations and dreams of chasing the league championship for twelve years are all on the shoulders of William Sutton at this moment.
I saw that the talented striker in English football had a very solemn expression at this time.
Southfield Stadium then fell silent, and then the crisp whistle sounded.
After the whistle, William Sutton took a deep breath, let it out, then took a run and shot!
Leeds City goalkeeper Jakub Rabina rushed to his right, but the football flew straight to the center!
Even his trailing feet failed to stop him!
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Beautiful goal! William Sutton withstood the tremendous pressure! He scored the crucial penalty! London Bridge leads Leeds City 2:1!"
As the commentator shouted, the television broadcast showed the real-time standings on the screen.
Before this game, Tramed ranked first with 83 points, and London Bridge ranked second with 81 points.
After the game started, Tramed led Liverpool United 1:0, and London Bridge tied with Leeds City 1:1. Tramed ranked first in the standings with 86 points, and London Bridge ranked first with 80 points. Two points ranked second, and the point difference was widened to four points.
Now, in the real-time standings, London Bridge has risen to first place with 84 points, while Tramed has 84 points, but because the goal difference is not as good as the other side, he has dropped from first place to second place.
If the game ends with this score, then London Bridge will have the opportunity to win the championship. As long as they defeat Lancashire Burley in the last round, they can win the cup.
The Southfield Stadium was filled with cheers, and the home team fans knew the significance of this goal better than anyone else.
After scoring, William Sutton was surrounded by his teammates. They celebrated wildly with the fans in the stands.
※※※
After losing the goal, the red-top stadium fell into silence for a while, and then gradually improved.
After all, the game is not over yet, and Tramed still has a chance to turn the situation around.
So the cheers of Tramed fans resounded in the stands again.
But not long after, the cheers above the red-domed stadium suddenly switched to boos in a second.
At the same time, the latest news from another stadium was shown on the big screen:
83′, London Bridge 2:1 Leeds City, goal scorer: William Sutton.
A cold message without any emotion, but it made Tramed fans collectively break their guard.
They booed and raised their middle fingers at the message on the big screen.
At this moment, on the Chinese Internet, there are many Tramed fans yelling and cursing...Zhou Zijing.
Yes, he is scolding Zhou Zijing.
"Damn it, Elbow Jing is still playing in the World Cup in this state! I feel like he has lost all confidence! Fortunately, Qin Lin went to watch this game, but this is the result?"
"After watching this game, will Qin Lin not take Zhou Zijing to the World Cup?"
"It won't be a problem if you don't bring him, but I seriously suggest Qin Lin not to let him start the starting lineup, and come on as a substitute! Play 433 instead, with Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai flying together, and just putting a Hu Lai in the middle is enough..."
"Fortunately, we have Hu Lai, so we won't rely on Zhou Zijing to score goals, otherwise... haha!"
"'I will try hard to make Leeds City fans forget Hu Lai!' Dog Head.jpg"
"I wonder how Zhou Zijing would face Luo Kai if he didn't win the league championship after returning to the national team? Humph!"
"Zhou Zijing is really too mud to support the wall!"
But Tramed's decline in the standings, what does it have to do with Zhou Zijing?
It really does matter.
Because if Zhou Zijing hadn't wasted an opportunity in the 43rd minute, London Bridge's goal might have just equalized the score instead of taking the lead.
Speaking of the wasted opportunity by Zhou Zijing, it was really inexplicable - at that time, he relied on his running position and had already run out of space, but when faced with the cross from Laski, his close header went high. ……
Zhou Zijing, who missed this opportunity, opened his eyes wide on the spot, as if his eyeballs could pop out of his head.
This scene was taken by many netizens and posted online, which naturally led to a lot of ridicule.
Zhou Zijing seems to be responsible for Tramed's loss of the Premier League championship.
Qin Lin in the stands turned his attention to Leeds City's No. 9 Zhou Zijing.
I don't know if it was because of his arrival that Zhou Zijing felt a little stressed.
His performance in this game was very active, running, pulling and making plays tirelessly.
But he seems to be too positive and fails to seize the opportunity when it arises.
If he performs like this now, Qin Lin will not take him to the World Cup as the extreme fans on the Internet suggested.
But it did make Qin Lin a little disappointed.
He hopes that before the World Cup training, Zhou Zijing can find confidence and rhythm through club competitions and get rid of the psychological shadow.
In fact, in Qin Lin's view, what was placed in front of Zhou Zijing was just a layer of window paper.
But even if it is such a thin layer of paper, it is not easy to pierce it...(End of Chapter)
