Chapter 52 is just the beginning
"Boissier steals the ball! Scorsese's counterattack!"
"Chi Zhen makes a diagonal pass, he is asking for the ball!"
"Boissier passed the ball... behind the ball! Del Mora!"
"Del Mora!!! Shot - the ball went in! The ball went in! It couldn't be a more perfect start!"
Although Wang Lie's home team is Tyne, the Scorsese also have another Chinese player, Chi Zhen.
So as a Chinese commentator, Luo Jin still has to maintain a neutral and objective attitude in this game. It can't be like Tyne playing Hurlingham FC at home, where the tendency is obvious.
So he cheered loudly for the Scorsese after Del Mora scored.
His partner Zhao Chuanfeng sighed: "Tyne's mistake is really... terrible! When the ball is forced, you can't just pass it to the middle! Because you can't observe the middle at all. The situation... Now we are behind at the beginning, this game for Tyne is not easy to play..."
In the broadcast screen, Del Mora, who scored the goal, turned and ran towards the corner flag area behind him, and then made a passionate slide kneel!
His Scorsese teammates came running up from behind him to celebrate the goal with him.
Chi Zhen is also among them.
Although he neither assisted nor completed the shot.
But it was his running that created the space for Del Mora, and he can be regarded as a "behind-the-scenes hero".
Others may not know it, but Del Mora must know it. So after Chi Zhen ran over, he turned around and hugged Chi Zhen, and praised him: "Good run, Chi!"
Seeing this scene, Sky Sports commentator Joe Wesley praised highly: "This Chinese guy deserves a lot of credit for this goal! It was his smart movement that finally turned an opportunity into a goal. ! If he did not run towards the center after Boissier intercepted the ball, but continued to sprint on the wing, he would not be able to truly threaten Tyne's penalty area! It was his diagonal insertion from the wing to the center that completely disrupted it! Tyne's hastily organized defense... a very smart choice, this is a great game reading ability! I know that some people are comparing Wang and Chi before the game, and I also know why they are comparing like this, so now, it is only one minute into the game! , Chi is already 1:0 ahead of the king!”
Wesley’s private goods are overflowing...
※※※
He Zhenyong in the VIP box I really didn’t expect that a goal would be scored less than a minute into the game, and Chi Zhen also played a very important role in this goal.
However, he kept in mind his self-reminding before the game, and faced this goal, his expression remained unchanged, like an old monk in meditation. It was impossible to guess what he was thinking in his heart at this moment through his expression.
At this moment, he was feeling happy in his heart for Chi Zhen's performance.
Chi Zhen’s recent state is really good!
Although he is different from the Chinese national team in terms of position and tactical role in the Scorsese, he can still complete the tasks assigned to him by the head coach very well, which fully demonstrates his understanding of tactics. How great is your understanding and execution ability!
Then He Zhenyong turned his attention to the middle of the court - the figure was standing in the center circle again, waiting for the kick-off.
Although if Wang Lie performs well in this game, it will indeed give him a headache.
But he still couldn't help but be curious:
In your Tyne debut at Hurlingham FC, in the face of doubts, ridicule and pressure that lasted for more than half a year, you scored twice.
So now faced with such a collapse of the world, how will you respond?
Wang Lie.
※※※
Wang Lie stood in the center circle without the ball at his feet this time.
He was shouting to the teammates behind him: "Kick the ball up! Kick it up! We are going to kick off!"
In order to prevent the teammates behind him from hearing, he also waved his arms , making gestures to show them.
However, most of the teammates have not yet recovered from their stunned mental state. Only Matje Katic, a veteran who is also experienced in many battles, was the first to make a move.
After he picked up the football from the goal, he drove forward with his big feet.
Wang Lie ran to the spot where the football landed, stopped the ball, held it in his hands, returned to the center circle, and bent over to place it.
Then he stood up, turned around and clapped his hands hard, encouraging his teammates: "It's only one minute! We still have ninety minutes!"
He looked at the dejected Vitini and shouted loudly Roll call: "Vitini! Cheer up!"
Then continue to roll call: "Van Ginkel! Dean! Parker! And Lamosa! Cheer up! The game has just begun!"
He could only call his name nearby, because even if he called his teammates who were further away, others wouldn't hear them.
It's just that the people whose names were called by him didn't express anything, as if they didn't hear them at all...
After all, this kind of verbal encouragement is just routine.
Every captain will do this after losing the ball, and Wang Lie seems to be no exception.
※※※
“The game has just begun!”
As everyone gathered to celebrate the goal, captain Marshon Harper shook his fist at them.
"A one-goal lead is definitely not our goal! Keep up the good work and score another one before they have recovered! Go up and start grabbing from the forward line! Wang said we will be afraid of them, then Let him take a good look at who is afraid of whom! He will completely destroy them in half a game! No matter whether they have been fighting among themselves before, let them fight among themselves during the halftime break!"
Everyone is in agreement! Chanting excitedly:
"Fuck them!! Fuck them!!"
Except for the few newcomers who joined the team last summer, the vast majority of the Scorsese team They all have a deep hatred for Wang Lie - on the one hand, this is because last season's league championship was kicked off by Wang Lie, on the other hand, hating Wang Lie can also be regarded as one of the "team cultures".
Isn’t there a joke that has never been officially recognized, but has been widely circulated and has not been officially denied?
For every new player who joins Scorsese, if he wants to win the support of Scorsese fans as quickly as possible and integrate into the team, then the best way is to play against Soft United. Shovel Wang Lie to the ground.
It was an exaggeration to shovel him to the ground, because he was also sent off with a red card.
However, it is indeed easy to win the favor of Scorsese fans by showing a tough attitude towards Wang Lie during the game, provoking him, butting heads with him... and other actions against Wang Lie.
This is true, not an urban legend.
Therefore, some people joked that the joining ceremony for new players of the Scots is "Fuck Wang Lie".
Zhao Chuanfeng said that Wang Lie got excited when he beat the Scossians, and that the Scossians seemed to come specifically to buff Wang Lie.
But from the perspective of Scorsese supporters, their team was very excited when they beat Wang Lie.
Just like "force", this stimulation is also mutual.
And currently, it seems that the BUFF effect enjoyed by the Scossians is better.
After all, the BUFF given by the Scoss people can only work on Wang Lie alone.
The BUFF given by Wang Lie is effective for the entire Scoos team.
The whole team is going crazy, but what’s the use of Wang Lie being alone?
A tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves!
※※※
McNeil frowned.
He had already cursed at his mother when he lost the ball, and now he has recovered from the disappointment and anger.
Although he has not fully recovered...
What he should consider now is what to do next?
Originally, he hoped to take advantage of the home court advantage after the opening game and make a mad rush to disrupt the rhythm of the Scorsese people.
If they can score goals early on, the start will be in their favour.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t score.
After that, the team practiced tactics for almost a week, slowly dealing with the Scorsese people.
Unexpectedly, it was the Scossians who succeeded in the opening game...
What to do next?
Should we continue to stick to the original plan and press the Scorsese high?
Or shrink down and play defensive counterattack?
After thinking about it again and again, McNeil finally made a decision after looking at the Scorsese players who ran back to his own half happily and did not forget to wave their arms to their fans in the second-tier stands.
The Scorsese who are leading are very popular and have great momentum. They will continue to attack, so if we defend and counterattack, they should be in their expectation. They might even launch a high press in our half. .
Under such circumstances, if we engage in defensive counterattack, it may seem like we have stabilized our defense, but in fact we are being beaten passively and there is no counterattack at all, and it will be difficult for us to survive.
Squatting down and holding your head when you just lost the ball will cause the team's morale to drop.
Instead of doing this, why not grab them like crazy!
If we are in chaos, their rhythm will also be in chaos, and then it will be a chaotic war!
The most important thing is that the Scos people must not have thought that we would do the opposite!
Just do it.
McNeil walked to the sidelines, whistled first to remind the players to look over, and then made a gesture to tell them:
Act as planned!
※※※
Wang Lie stood alone in the center circle of the court with his hands on his hips, a football under his feet.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ziqi in front of the TV couldn't help complaining: "It's strange, why have I seen it somewhere?"
Then he asked and answered himself: "Ah! I remembered! It was just two minutes ago!"
Tang Xingmei glanced at her son, but it did not stop him from being angry.
She lost the ball at the beginning, and the goal came from her own team member's mistake. She was also a little unhappy.
It's just that in front of her two children, as a mother, she has to set a good example and not curse...
So it doesn't seem impossible to let her son be her mouthpiece.
"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game starts again! It has only been a few minutes since Wang last kicked off. If we only count the game time, it is actually one minute... The game has just begun. In fifty-seven seconds, the Scorsese scored a goal and took the lead! This is also the fastest goal so far this season! The Scorsese made a perfect start, and for Wang, this is It’s the beginning of hell!”
The voice of commentator Connor Cowley came from the TV speakers.
Tang Xingmei also sat upright again, and then patted the two children: "Come on, Dad!"
Daughter Wang Zilin was the most obedient, shouting in a sweet voice: "Come on, Dad!"
br>
The son Wang Ziqi was not so obedient. He did not do exactly what his mother said. Instead, he sang the song that Soft United fans used to cheer for his father on his own initiative:
"FIGHTING! FIGHTING! CHINAWANG!"
※※※After the game restarted, the Scorsese players rushed into the Tyne half along with the football.
They followed the football and started a crazy press in the frontcourt.
In response, Wang Lie raised his arms in front and shouted to his teammates: "Long pass! Don't fall behind!"
Some people may think that Wang Lie's command is blind - the opponent presses from a high position, doesn't he just hope that you will pass the football forward in a hurry and then change the ball?
But Wang Lie is actually right.
Because Tyne also wants to press the Scossians from a high position, so if he kicks in his own backcourt, it will only fulfill the Scossians' wishes. At this time, you have to give the ball to the opponent so that Tyne can press.
But you must not give the ball to the opponent in your own half, as that will only directly threaten the goal.
So it has to be a long pass.
Pass the long ball to the frontcourt, and if the offense can succeed, it will succeed. If it fails, it will start a high-position press on the spot.
His teammates also understand what he means. So midfielder Ramosa passed the football directly back to goalkeeper Goetz from the midfield.
Goetz didn’t stop the ball and made a long pass to the football!
He did not dare to stop the ball because he had just caught a glimpse of a Scorsese player approaching him at high speed from the corner of his eye.
As soon as he kicked the football out, the Scoss player "flyed" over.
It's Chi Zhen!
He jumped in the air, stretching his legs first, then his back.
If Goetz stops for a moment and then passes the ball, the ball might hit Chi Zhen's leg or back and bounce into the goal...
So Chi Zhen "flyed" Coming over, after the sole of the shoe passed by the football, a huge exclamation sounded in the stands of Leather Park Stadium.
Obviously the Tyne fans were also frightened.
"Chi Zhen! Oh, what a pity!" Luo Jin really felt sorry for Chi Zhen.
The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh. Of course he hoped Wang Lie would perform well, but that didn't mean he wanted Chi Zhen to perform poorly.
He is not one of those extreme fans in the black and white fandom.
As for Wang Lie and Chi Zhen’s performance, what should the national team do... Shouldn’t this issue be considered by He Zhenyong and his guidance?
What does it have to do with him being a football commentator?
Zhao Chuanfeng said: "Chi Zhen feels very good today. He dares to make moves and does a good job of predicting in advance. I think if he keeps playing like this, he might be able to score a goal!"
※※※
Goetz kicked the ball into the frontcourt, but the ball did not change hands immediately.
Wang Lie relied on his accurate judgment of the football placement and his header advantage to pass the ball to Van Ginkel who was pressing up.
And Van Ginkel passed the football forward to Sonny Dean.
At this time, it was just like what they had practiced in training before. Although Wang Lie was playing center, his position was deeper and he had already reached the midfield.
The two "wingers", Dean and Vitini, were at the front.
As soon as Dean got the ball, Scorsese left-back Gabriel Atala rushed forward.
Dean pretended to go down directly from the wing and made a posture of dribbling the ball directly to break through, which tricked Atala into turning around.
Then Dean dunked the football into the middle and he cut inside!
But soon the Scossian defenses built a wall in front of him.
Although he successfully got rid of Atala, he failed to continue to get rid of the entire back line of the Scorsese.
Under the opponent's pressing step by step, Dean gradually brought the ball into a dead end.
At this time, he heard Wang Lie's voice from behind: "Dean!"
Although he was at the training ground and on the small bed at his mother's house, this was the voice he hated to hear the most. .
But now, I have to say that this voice is like a beacon, pointing the direction for him.
Hearing the voice, he quickly knocked the football in the direction of the sound with his heel.
Behind him, Wang Lie and two Scorsese players rushed towards the football.
Wang Lie raised his right leg in front of the football, pretending to shoot directly.
So the two Scorsese players also accelerated together, preparing to get in front of Wang Lie and grab the ball first, otherwise they would have to block his shot.
It turned out that Wang Lie's shot was just a fake move. After his right leg came up, instead of shooting, he pulled the football back!
Pull the ball, stop suddenly, tap the football to the side with the outside instep of your right foot, then twist and kick on the ground to speed up!
He just shook off two Scorsese players in one go!
"Wow! King! Nice escape!"
The Tyne fans in the stands, who were a little demoralized after conceding the goal at the beginning, cheered loudly.
While getting rid of it, Wang Lie was already using the corner of his eye to observe the situation of the Scorsese goal.
He found that because of Dean's previous lateral dribbling, Scorsese goalkeeper Leonardo Lucero was positioned a little in the middle.
So before he could fully adjust his center of gravity, he suddenly took off his right foot and picked the football toward the top corner of the near end of the goal!
That is a position that goalkeeper Lucero can hardly reach!
No matter how good Argentina goalkeeper Lucero is at making amazing saves, he will never be able to hit the theoretical blind spot!
This sudden shot was very reluctant, so after Wang Lie completed the shot, he fell back and fell to the ground.
But in the process, his eyes followed the football.
As he watched, the ball flew past the Scorsese defenders and flew straight to the point where he aimed.
Goalkeeper Lucero was indeed trying hard to fight back, but he really couldn't!
Wang Lie’s choice of shooting point is too tricky!
As long as you hit it within the door frame, you will get in!
Everyone could not help but widen their eyes when they saw the football flying towards the goal.
Some people’s hearts were beating wildly:
Did the Scorsese just score a goal and Tyne was about to equalize the score? !
“Wang Lie suddenly shot!”
"King - Oops!"
In full view of the crowd, the football crossed the crossbar and flew directly out of the baseline...
※※※
"Oops! The ball didn't go in! The ball missed! The football shot by Wang went over the crossbar and missed!”
“Ah——!”
In front of the TV, Wang Ziqi held his head in his hands, fell to the side, and almost rolled off the sofa.
My sister Wang Zilin also screamed with regret.
Their mother is stronger than them all, just "oops", but the disappointment in her heart is like an iceberg below the sea level, bottomless.
How she wished her husband could equalize the score immediately after the opponent scored.
This is not her unreasonable thought. Her husband has really performed such a superb job before - after the opponent scores a goal, he takes advantage of the kick-off opportunity and scores in one attack.
She still remembers how the media praised her husband at that time:
He was like a god descending from heaven!
※※※
Before Scorsese goalkeeper Lucero had time to rise into the air, the football had already flown to him, so he failed to jump up in the end, but stood on the ground. He turned around and watched the football fly over the crossbar.
After surviving the disaster, he immediately pointed at Wang Lie lying on the ground and shouted to his teammates: "What are you doing! Don't let him have any room to get up!"
In fact, his accusation was unreasonable. His teammates had already tried their best. It was because after Wang Lie got rid of the defense, his shooting movements were so fast that it was so sudden.
Faced with such a rapid connection movement, the Scorsese defenders simply could not react.
In other words, the sudden start of the connection so quickly actually proves that Wang Lie shot in a hurry.
Maybe it was for this reason that the football was higher than the crossbar in the end...
But Lucero didn't care about this. He only knew that his heart was beating extremely fast, and he needed to Yell to calm yourself down.
He still remembered how he picked up the ball from the goal three times in front of Wang Lie in that game last season...
He didn't want to relive his old dream.
For his teammates, perhaps as long as they defeat Wang Lie in this game, it will be considered a successful revenge.
But for goalkeeper Gabriel Lucero, if he cannot score zero goals against Wang Lie in this game, then his revenge will not be considered a success!
※※※
When Wang Lie saw the football flying over the crossbar, he closed his eyes helplessly and fell completely backwards to the ground.
Just a little bit closer!
"It's almost! King!"
He opened his eyes and saw Dutch midfielder Van Ginkel stretching out his hand to him.
After Wang Lie was pulled up by him, he patted Wang Lie on the back and comforted him: "It's such a pity..."
At this time, there was no regret or regret in Wang Lie's eyes and tone.
He said to Van Ginkel: "This is just the beginning, we still have a chance!"
After that, he turned around, clapped his hands hard, and shouted to other teammates: "This is just the beginning. ! It’s just the beginning! Keep up the good work everyone!”
