Chapter 57 Do you believe it too, Wang Lie?
Through the slow-motion replay by the broadcaster, everyone can clearly see how regretful Tyne's offense was that did not result in a goal.
"Wang Lie's forward thrust is very smart and decisive, everyone, pay attention here...he has a deceleration."
Zhao Chuanfeng explained to the Chinese fans in front of the TV based on the slow-motion replay.
What he was talking about was the moment when Libert came up to challenge Wang Lie. Wang Lie did not try to speed up to overtake Libert, but slowed down.
"This moment is crucial. If Wang Lie accelerates directly towards the goal, then he will take Libert to the goal, so that he will have no space in front of the goal... But he was slow this time, Fan Jinke As soon as Er passed the ball, Libert's attention was naturally attracted.
"After Libert's attention was attracted, Wang Lie suddenly accelerated forward. At this time, Libert's attention was attracted. Bert couldn't react... he could only watch as Wang Lie rushed to him and blocked his position.
"If Dean can pass the ball to the back point at this time, I can say that Wang Lie will almost 100% score!"
Luo Jin joked: "At this time, Dean En may only see the corner of the goal, and the rest does not exist in his field of vision."
Then he explained seriously: "When a person is particularly focused, his field of vision will indeed shrink... In fact, Dean’s choice is not wrong, after all, he is directly facing the goalkeeper and can hit the goal.”
Zhao Chuanfeng said with hatred: "But the key is you have to score!"
Luo Jin laughed: "Yes, as long as you can score. If you score, no one will mention that Wang Lie is actually in the backcourt." It's a matter of ambush."
"That's right. The key is that he didn't score..."
There was still regret and unwillingness in Zhao Chuanfeng's tone.
If this ball is passed to Wang Lie, on the one hand, Tyne can equalize the score, and on the other hand, Wang Lie can also score twice, killing two birds with one stone!
※※※
The mentality of the Chinese commentator is slightly different. Although it is a pity to see Dean shoot the ball on the side net without scoring, neither the England commentator Connor Cowley nor the commentator Joe Wesley felt that there was no big problem if Dean did not pass the ball to Wang Lie.
"...As a forward, you should shoot from that position! If Wang was there to catch the ball, I believe he would shoot without hesitation!" Wesley said.
Cowley echoed: "There is no problem with Dean's choice. Although it may be better to pass it to Wang, it is also possible that the ball is not passed in place or that Wang misses the ball due to interference from Liebert. The situation...
“So there is actually no standard answer to many situations in football matches. Dean thinks he can score from there, so take the shot. The key is not to hesitate. If you want to shoot but don’t take the first step, or if you don’t have an angle and want to cross, but there is no space in front of the goal, then you should criticize..."
In the Tyne coach's box on the sidelines, McNeil and Varro regretted that Dean missed this opportunity, but did not discuss the topic of "should Dean pass the ball to Wang Lie" because this was already in the past. .
As team coaches, they have to look forward during the game and cannot always dwell on the past that cannot be changed.
Whether Dean should pass the ball to Wang Lie, this matter can be discussed after the game is over and during the game review.
Now what they see from this offense are positive signs.
"After Wang retreated, our offense became more threatening." Varro said excitedly.
McNeil nodded: "At the beginning, I wanted to sign Wang, and I also hoped that he could connect the two wings. This offense is what I want to see. But this time, the Queen's back row came in faster than I expected. At one point, I thought this attack would turn into a positional battle. "
Varro praised: "This is how the veteran's experience and awareness come into play. At other times, especially in defense, I don’t run very hard, it looks like walking. I just want to save my energy for the critical moment! If I keep playing like this, maybe what Wang said will come true!”
McNeil turned to him and cast a surprised glance: "Huh? So you don't believe him yet?"
Varro was a little embarrassed, and then explained: "This is reasonable doubt. ! I’m not like you, the bastard, I’m rational. Of course I won’t completely believe it until he does it!”
Faced with his tough-talking partner, McNeil smiled. Silent.
※※※
Although this attack did not score a goal, it frightened the Scorsese head coach Joseppe Gil - when Dean received the ball behind the defense, his heart skipped a beat. About to jump out.
Because he also saw Wang Lie penetrating forward, he was really afraid that Dean would sweep the ball to the center.
Fortunately, Dean chose to do it himself.
Those who support Dean, those who oppose Wang Lie, or those who are reasonable can certainly say that there is nothing wrong with Dean's choice.
But none of them were qualified to say this.
Because Dean saved his life, of course he has to support Dean and hopes that Dean will continue to do this!
Come on, Sonny Dean, you better not pass the ball to Wang in this game!
Then he walked to the sidelines and made gestures to ask the players to tighten the pressure in the midfield and put pressure on Tyne.
Especially to Wang Lie.
The goal just now was because Radu was the only one to defend Wang Lie, but Wang Lie turned around and got rid of it and sent a wonderful pass to start the attack.
If two players had stepped up to guard Wang Lie when Goetz passed the ball to Wang Lie, they would not have let him get away so easily, and naturally nothing would happen next.
※※※
After Gill reminded the players, the Scorsese players did strengthen their defense against Wang Lie.
Everyone can see that Wang Lie, who is swimming between the midfielder and the striker, is the core of Tyne's offense.
So in the next game, if the Scorsese attack, then Wang Lie will have no sense of presence. He can only help keep the defensive formation intact in his position.
But once Tyne wants to attack, Wang Lie will become the focus of the broadcast cameras.
It is also the focus of players on both sides of the field.
The Tyne players are going to pass the football to him, while the Scoss players are going to surround him.
The Scorsese players were so fierce that for a period of time, Wang Lie could hardly send forward passes and could only pass the ball back or crosswise.
He also tried to break through with the ball by himself, but with two or even three Scorsese players double-teaming, this was an almost impossible task.
He even lost the ball once in the backcourt, almost allowing the Scorsese to launch a counterattack on the spot. If he hadn't grabbed the opponent's jersey and made a foul, the consequences might have been serious.
Under such circumstances, of course his teammates cannot always pass the ball to him.
※※※
The Scorsese attacked on the right side of the frontcourt, right midfielder Simon Lofengla responded on the sideline, and right back Patrick McGowan took the ball and faced Victoria Tiny's defense.
He poked the football to Luofen who was standing on the sideline to receive the ball.
There is also a Tyne defensive player in front of Lofing - left back Charlie Cohen.
So Lofing couldn't get the ball and break through directly. He chose to pass the football to Boissier who came from the center to meet him.
It’s just that Boissier is also accompanied by Tyne’s midfielder Joshua Parker.
After passing the ball, Lofen tried to move forward and hit a wall with Boissier.
As a result, Charlie Cohen followed him every step of the way.
Boissier had no choice but to give up the idea of passing the ball like this. He stopped the ball behind himself and turned around at the same time.
At this time, Scouse's right back McGowan crossed with him and went to the middle to fill Boissier's original position.
Boissier fell to the wing.
Vittini, who was originally guarding McGowan on the wing, was stuck in front of Boissier, preventing him from easily dribbling and making moves. Joshua Parker, who was originally following him, returned to Defend McGowan in the middle position.
When Boissier turned around to adjust, he was always observing the situation in front, wanting to see where Lofing was.
But he forgot to look behind him.
So when from the corner of his eye he caught sight of Van Ginkel coming straight from the middle path, it was already too late...
He hurriedly tried to protect the football, but lost his balance and was beaten by Van Ginkel. Er was knocked to the ground from behind, and at the same time the ball at his feet was poked away by the Dutch midfielder!
Vitini, who was standing in front of Boissier, immediately started to move the football he poked out!
Cheers erupted across the pitch at Leese Park.
"Van Ginkel steals the ball from behind! No foul! Tyne's counterattack!"
When Vitini started dribbling the ball, Wang Lie was still in the middle and in a deep position.
He did not immediately speed up like Vitini did.
Instead, he first turned to look to his right rear. He saw Sonny Dean who was a little further back than him - the Scorsese had been attacking in the frontcourt just now, so all Tyne players returned to their own half, and Dean also had to come back to participate in the defense. .
Now there is a sudden counterattack, and they have no time to intervene. There is not a single Tyne player in front.
Wang Lie looked at Dean, who turned out to be looking at him too.
Seeing this, Wang Lie put his hand beside him and waved it gently, signaling Dean to step forward.
So Dean began to speed forward.
Wang Lie also ran forward, but not as fast as Dean.
Originally near Wang Lie was the Scorsese left-back Atala who came from the wing to the center. He was already ready to follow Wang Lie.
As a result, Wang Lie did not speed up, but Dean increased his speed... So after weighing it, McGowan chose to move closer to Vitini. As for Wang Lie... leave it to teammate Chi Zhen and forward Flavio Rosas who are returning to defense.
After taking the ball for two steps, Vitini looked up at the center and found that Wang Lie did not rush forward, but stayed behind slowly.
When he looked at Wang Lie, Wang Lie was also looking at him.
To communicate with Dean, you still need to make gestures, but to communicate with Vitini, Wang Lie told Vitini what to do next with just one look.
At this time, Scorsese center back Libert and defensive midfielder Radu were pressing over. One-on-one, Vitini chose to slow down. It seemed that he was waiting for Wang Lie to run up. Answer.
It’s just that Wang Lie’s speed was a little slow, so he was surrounded.
Vitini used the outside instep of his right foot to push the ball inside, making a move to cut inside.
At this time, Wang Lie was already running to a position parallel to Vitini.
Vitini's inward cut and Wang Lie's forward penetration alerted Scorsese captain Mason Harper, who was originally guarding the center. He had to worry about Vitini passing the football to Wang Lie. In order not to let Wang Lie easily To get the ball, he had to press forward - he was now six or seven meters away from Wang Lie, and he felt that the distance was still too far for him to control Wang Lie.
At this moment, Vitini, who was making a move to cut in, but actually just adjusted his body direction, raised his right foot and made a move to pass the ball.
Can’t wait any longer!
Harper steps forward!
At the same time Vitini passed the ball.
But instead of passing it to Wang Lie in the middle, he passed the ball to Sonny Dean who was rushing forward at high speed!
This turn of events surprised Harper. He was about to attack Wang Lie, but unexpectedly the ball passed to the far end behind him in space!
He could only stop suddenly and turn around.
At this moment, Wang Lie, who had been walking slowly before, suddenly accelerated forward!
It was the open space in the middle behind Harper that he ran!
But Harper failed to keep up with Wang Lie at all and was left behind after just two steps!
As long as Dean can stop the ball and push it diagonally to the center, Wang Lie will face goalkeeper Lucero!
The fans in the stands all saw this.
The Tyne fans cheered in anticipation, while the Scorsese fans screamed.
The commentators were even more excited and shouted:
"Tyne's chance!"
"Wang Lie comes forward! Beautiful!"
"The counterattack is coming!"
Even the coaches of the two teams on the sidelines There were different expressions on his face: McNeil was expecting, Gill was panicking.
Then in full view of everyone, Dean stretched out his foot to stop the ball...
Didn't stop!
The football passed over his instep...
"Look at this ball, Dean... Whoops!" Luo Jin almost laughed at Dean's "empty stop" kick. .
Zhao Chuanfeng had already laughed: "Dean stopped the ball..."
Because the ball was not stopped in the first shot, it was supposed to be a fast break opportunity, but Dean stopped it. He slammed on the brakes - he caught up with the football again and stopped, this time it came to a steady stop.
But Wang Lie couldn't continue to advance - if he continued to run, he would be offside, and because Dean chased two more steps, he had already rushed to the penalty spot. If Dean passed it to him diagonally, then the ball would be lost. In all likelihood, goalkeeper Lucero will get it.
So he chose to slow down actively and was caught up by Harper.
After Dean stopped the football, he also found that he had lost the best opportunity to attack.
At this time, Atala took the ball again, and Dean could only pass the football back.
The fast break turned into a positional battle.
There were boos in the air at Leese Park.
This boo is for Sonny Dean.
The TV broadcast also interrupted the live broadcast of the game and cut directly to a close-up shot of Dean.
In the close-up shot, his mouth is open, breathing heavily, and his eyes are slightly confused, as if he doesn't understand why he accidentally failed to stop the ball just now.
In fact, no player can guarantee that he can stop every ball in the game, but at such a critical moment like just now, he didn't even touch a ball that was not difficult. , it’s really below the standard...
He couldn't even give himself any reasons or excuses.
※※※
Looking at the confused close-up of Dean on the big screen, Robbie Dixie cursed fiercely: "Damn! Trash! Stop this ball!" No! Even if the shot doesn’t go in, what the hell can I do if I don’t even know how to stop the ball?”
I didn’t pass the ball to Wang Lie just now, I shot the ball on the side net.
This time, an excellent counterattack opportunity was wasted because he failed to stop the ball.
Two consecutive poor performances, coupled with the previous announcement in advance that he would leave the team after the end of the season.
Sonny Dean is now no different from a street rat in the eyes of many Tyne fans.
No one will choose to speak for him at this time, because he did waste Tyne's two possible chances to equalize the score.
Perhaps by the end of the game, it was because of these two squanderings that Tyne lost the game.
Tyne's fans don't know Wang Lie's ambitions. If it were a normal time before, Tyne lost to the Scorsese at home, there would be nothing to complain about.
But after having Wang Lie and Wang Lie scoring such a beautiful free kick, many Tyne fans could no longer accept losing to the Scorsese again.
The evidence is that even guys like Dixie, who thought Tyne could not defeat the Scossians before, are now cursing loudly because Dean wasted two opportunities in a row.
Tang Lin was not as exaggerated as Dixie acted, but he also felt sorry for Tyne.
He doesn’t understand football and has watched the game for nearly sixty minutes.
He may still not understand the basis and reason for every penalty in the game, and he doesn't understand why the Tyne fans in the stands cheer and applaud after a certain Tyne player passes the ball or stops the ball.
But he understands the basic emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
He would also be unhappy when the Scorsese fans were loudly cursing and laughing at Tyne, as well as the Tyne fans.
Because he studied abroad in Newcastle, he was almost surrounded by Tyne fans. His landlord, Mr. Berg, also regained hope in life because of the Tyne team.
Then these Scorsese fans insulting Tyne and the Tyne fans are equivalent to insulting Mr. Berg and insulting the beliefs and pillars that give him hope in life.
Comparing his feelings with his own, how could Tang Lin remain indifferent to the fact that the Tyne football team lost the chance to equalize the score?
He is still not a Tyne fan, and he doesn't care about what results Tyne can achieve this season.
But at least in today's game, Tang Lin doesn't want Tyne to lose to the Scossians.
Even if it was to prove his statement that "Princes and generals have the guts to be in love with each other," he still hoped that Tyne would win.
Otherwise, after struggling for a long time and still losing to the Scossians, wouldn’t what he said at that time be like a joke?
It doesn't matter if he becomes a joke, but he doesn't want "princes and generals to be very kind" to become a joke.
We don’t want the Chinese people who firmly believe that “princes, generals, and ministers have their own kind” to become a joke.
Tang Lin turned his attention to the court and found Wang Lie among those small figures.
Even if he has never watched football and doesn't like football, he has heard of this name.
Wang Lie.
The influence of this name is not only achieved by a football player.
Tang Lin remembered that when he was in middle school, he once faced such an essay question in an exam:
"... As we all know, Wang Lie, as a world-famous football player, broke a series of records and achieved remarkable results. An enviable achievement. However, when he was 18 or 19 years old, he suffered two serious injuries. At that time, everyone believed that even if he could return to the football field, he would not be able to fulfill his talent and reach the heights expected. Some people advised him to retire. But Wang Lie said: 'Life is just a football game. How can I admit defeat at the beginning of the game?' Please write an article to explain your understanding of Wang Lie's words. Requirements: Choose the right angle, determine the concept, clarify the style, no copying, no plagiarism...no less than 800 words..."
Tang Lin doesn't watch football, and he doesn't understand football. In the end, he started. From the perspective of competition, the essay was not given a high score, but it was not a low score either. It was a reasonable score, good or bad.
He only had a profound understanding of Wang Lie's influence from that incident.
Many people who are not fans will also regard him as their idol or role model.
As it is said in the test paper, it is really inspiring to still achieve such brilliant achievements after experiencing those two serious injuries.
Looking at Wang Lie's figure, Tang Lin thought silently in his heart:
Wang Lie, you also know that sentence, right?
Do you also believe that "princes, generals, and ministers have a certain kind of love"?
