Chapter 87 Getting Hard
Wang Lie retreated to the midfield to respond.
But Barnabas, who got the ball in the backcourt, did not choose to pass the football to him.
Because he retreated very deep, the Hackney Knights' defense also moved up relatively high, leaving a lot of space behind them.
In order to increase the suddenness of the attack, Barnabas, the right back who took the ball from behind, chose to pass the ball long and directly to Vitini at the other end of the diagonal.
Wang Lie, who retreated but failed to get the ball, did not open his hands and complain, but immediately turned back and ran forward.
When Vitini received the ball near the sideline, he looked up at the center and found that Wang Lie had already rushed to the front.
So facing the defense of Hackney Knight right back Fitzwater, he did not challenge the opponent in a one-on-one, but simply passed the football horizontally to Wang Lie who came in behind.
"Wang! He received the ball in the middle!"
Both the defensive midfielder Bello and the central defender Monte rushed towards Wang Lie at this time.
After passing the ball, Vitini inserted diagonally towards the left rib of Hackney Knight's penalty area, making a response.
Wang Lie pretended to pass the football to him, which made Monte in front of him shift his center of gravity, and then immediately used his body to protect the football, blocking Bello behind him. Then he gently pushes the football forward to the right with his right foot, swings his foot and shoots!
When Wang Lie blocked him from behind, Hackney Knights midfielder Bello used his hands and feet to rush into Wang Lie and interfere with him.
Under his interference, the quality of the football Wang Lie shot was very high!
Sprint forward quickly against the turf, heading straight for the lower right corner of the goal!
Hackney Knights goalkeeper Raphael Vito fell to the ground and dived sideways, using his fingers to push the football out of the baseline!
Seeing this, the Tyne fans sighed in the stands: "Huh——!!!"
"Wang Lie shot from a long distance!! Good shot! Vito made a very wonderful shot Save!"
Wang Lie didn't bother to feel upset that he didn't score. He turned and pointed at Bello and complained to the referee: "He hit someone for a foul!"
Jimba· Bello was so frightened that he quickly defended himself: "I didn't! I didn't use force! It was just a reasonable collision!"
He was eager to defend himself because he knew what it meant to give Wang Lie a free kick at the front of the penalty area, directly opposite the goal...
Wang Lie didn't care about that. He asked the referee who ran up. Said: "He has moves on his hands!"
Bello kept wagging his fingers: "NONONONONO! No, that's a normal move..."
The referee's little comment on Wang Lie He was very clear-minded in his mind and heart. He just wanted to put pressure on himself and get a free kick, as if he wanted to teach himself how to call the game... This is a very typical challenge to the referee.
But after all, Wang Lie was once - and maybe still is in the past two months - the number one star in the Premier League, so he must be given some face.
So he shook his head at Wang Lie with a smile: "Don't cause trouble, Wang, I can see clearly and I know how to be a referee."
He pointed to his eyes.
Seeing that his strategy failed, Wang Lie did not continue to argue with the referee, and ignored Bello. Instead, he turned around and ran towards the goal, preparing to participate in the corner kick attack.
Bello protested to the referee behind him: "He is contemptuous of you, sir!"
The referee glared at him and choked unceremoniously: "Mind yourself ”
Bello quickly pursed his lips - he was not the captain of the team, and he was not qualified to talk to the referee... If he dared to continue chattering, he might get himself a yellow card.
Of course, it is another matter if the referee takes the initiative to talk to him.
※※※
Tyne's corner kick was taken by Sonny Dean.
Tyne’s previous goal was scored using corner kick tactics, so this time the Hackney Knights took it very seriously.
Dean did not cooperate with his teammates again, but kicked the football directly to the goal.
The Hackney Knights, who were well prepared, relied on center back Sebastian Sergate to clear the ball with a header this time.
“Almost ten minutes into the second half, the score is still tied at 1:1... Tyne played very proactively at home, and Hackney Knights were not to be outdone. The two teams are now a little bit on edge. I’m sorry for Maimang!” Luo Jin said.
Commentary partner Zhao Chuanfeng said: "Wang Lie often retreated to respond in this game. The ball just happened. Although the ball did not reach his feet in the end. But everyone can pay attention to it. After he retreated, the Cavaliers The central defender has to follow. If he doesn't follow, it will be left to the Cavaliers' midfielder. In this way, Tyne will have one more contact point in the midfield, and at the same time, the Cavaliers will lose one person. Next, Tyne can take advantage in the midfield..."
Luo Jin nodded and agreed: "Yes. In the past, Wang Lie often retreated when playing, but he always retreated like today, and It is still rare to retreat deeply. It should be specially arranged by head coach McNeill, but doing so will also be a great test for Wang Lie's physical fitness and explosive power..."
Zhao Chuanfeng said next to him: "At least so far, I haven't seen him unable to keep up with his physical fitness. Moreover, Wang Lie can really rush forward after retreating. In fact, it is quite incredible. Looking at Wang Lie's performance on the court, it is always It will make people forget that he is thirty-eight years old now..."
"Twenty years of self-discipline and professional attitude, coupled with scientific and reasonable training...and the most important thing is , Wang Lie found confidence in Tyne and gained respect and trust. I think the change in mentality also made his physical condition better..." Luo Jin gave an explanation from his own perspective.
Luke Milne, who was in the on-site commentary box, occasionally looked at the court for a while while commentating.
He had a very strange feeling in his heart. He thought it was incredible, but it was actually placed in front of him, and he couldn't help but not believe it:
Wang Lie in today's game, always It will give him a feeling of familiarity - this is not surprising. He and Wang Lie have been teammates at Soft United for seven seasons. Of course he is familiar with Wang Lie - Milne's familiarity is because He watched the thirty-eight-year-old Wang Lie running, dribbling, and fighting on the court...
Then it overlapped with the familiar Wang Lie figure in his memory.
He had the illusion that Wang Lie was wearing a Tyne jersey and playing football...
In other words, he felt that Wang Lie's physical fitness seemed to have improved!
Commentator Connor Cowley realized that Milne seemed to have been silent for a while, so he turned to look at his partner.
I saw Milne holding the microphone, but he did not bring it to his mouth. Instead, he looked at the stadium as if he was in a daze.
So when there was a dead ball on the court, he took the microphone away from his lips, pushed the noise-canceling headphones away, turned to Luke Milne, who was still in a daze, and asked: "What's wrong?"
The microphone of the Premier League commentator is a specially designed microphone to avoid being disturbed by the noise in the environment. When speaking, the microphone should be held in the area between the upper lip and the nose, so that the commentator's voice can be absorbed At the same time, it prevents ambient sounds from being included.
At the same time, as long as the microphone is taken away, even if the on-site commentator chats privately, it will not affect the game commentary, because the chatting sound will not be recorded at all.
Milne knows that it is not a good time to chat during the live broadcast of the game, and he has so many thoughts in his heart that it is not enough to talk to outsiders.
He simply said: "I just feel a little emotional that Wang, who is 38 years old, can still show his talent in the Premier League. When I was 38 years old, I could only retire in the Scottish Premier League... ”
Connor Cowley laughed: "Wang's physical fitness is indeed very exaggerated, but mainly because he is not satisfied yet."
"Yes, he will never know satisfaction...but it also shows that He still has passion for football," Milne said as he saw Wang Lie receiving the ball in the frontcourt.
He quickly put the microphone to his own man and said in an exciting tone: "The king has the ball, he is here again!"
Connor Cowley immediately followed: " Tyne’s attack!”
※※※
When Wang Lie got the ball in the Hackney Knights' half, he was actually still far away from the goal, but listening to the commentators' tone, it was as if Tyne had advanced the ball to the Hackney Knights' 30-meter area. ...
When Wang Lie caught the ball this time, there was finally no Hackney Knight center back following behind him.
After all, Tyne has advanced the ball into the Hackney Knights' half, which means that more Tyne players are approaching the Hackney Knights' penalty area.
If the Cavaliers central defender still ignores Wang Lie and comes to the ground, the middle of the penalty area will be empty. Tyne can completely not give the ball to Wang Lie, but arrange for other players to step into the gap to catch the ball, which can threaten the Hackney Knight goal more directly.
Where Wang Lie caught the ball, it was midfielder Kimba Bello who came to defend him.
Wang Lie did not challenge him in a duel, but quickly passed the football to his own defensive midfielder Gianfranco Lamosa, who came up to meet him.
After passing the ball, Wang Lie immediately accelerated forward and got rid of Bello in two steps.
Bello followed immediately.
As a result, a void appeared in front of him.
Lamossa could even use this space to dribble forward and press forward. For several seconds, no Hackney Knight player came up... Seeing this, Lamosa simply stopped 33 meters away from the goal. Take a long shot from a meter away!
It’s just that the score was high in the end...
“What a pity!” Luo Jin sighed. "It was Ramosa who shot. He is not good at scoring..."
Zhao Chuanfeng analyzed the audience from the side: "Although the offensive goal was not scored this time, it fully reflected Wang Lie's retreat. The effect is just like what we just talked about. Wang Lie retreats to catch the ball and then runs forward. Will the defensive player follow? If not, the ball will be passed back to Wang Lie's feet. By then, he will be further away from the goal. If he follows, there will be a vacuum in the midfield, which can be exploited by other players from Tyne. This time it will be Lamosa, next time it can be Van Ginkel or Vitti. Where is Dean?”
Lamosa, who shot the football high, raised his hand to apologize to his teammates.
However, Tyne head coach McNeill on the edge of the coaching bench gave him a thumbs up and applauded.
As Zhao Chuanfeng said, this offensive routine was indeed practiced consciously by Tyne.
Although Lamosa did not score a goal, Tyne's offense was completely played, which is a good sign.
As the head coach, he must encourage and support the players so that they can continue to play like this.
※※※
Lamosa's missed shot gave Hackney Knights head coach Paul Neves a hint of danger, but he couldn't think about countermeasures now.
In his mind, the highest priority is "offensive".
After the start of the second half, Hackney Knights and Tyne were at a stalemate. Both sides had some opportunities, but the situation was in a very delicate balance.
As long as you can score goals, you can break this balance and make the situation favorable to you.
He stood on the sidelines, crossing his arms and staring nervously at the court.
His team found Kang Dong-hoon after advancing the football upfield.
The Korean started as a forward in this game, but after the start of the second half, he was more accustomed to running to the left to open up space and wait for the ball.
Because this way he can get the ball in a relatively relaxed environment without having to face the pressing and collision of at least two Tyne players as soon as he catches the ball.
Then he dribbled the ball towards the center.
The same is true this time.
Jiang Dongxun received the ball from the wing and then cut inside.
Facing Ramosa who came up to block him, Jiang Dongxun made a fake move to pass the ball to the left - Hackney Knight's left back Nevak was running along the sideline to receive the ball. The sole of his left foot pulled the football back in front of him, and then moved it to the right.
Lamosa was indeed deceived by his pass fake just now and missed the ball!
After dodging Lamosa, he shot directly!
Goetz took off and pointed backwards, saving the football from the bottom line with one palm!
"Kang Dongxun!!" the Korean commentator shouted. "Beautiful long shot! Very beautiful! He created a corner kick for the team!"
There were too few shots belonging to Jiang Dongxun in the first half, and even if they appeared, something bad would happen immediately afterwards. This incident made the Korean commentator feel very aggrieved.
And now Jiang Dongxun's shot is really beautiful, forcing Goetz to make a wonderful save, and the Korean commentators are also proud.
When Jiang Dongxun saw the football being thrown out by Goetz, he roared fiercely and regretted that he failed to score.
In the second half, he held back his energy and wanted to prove himself in front of Wang Lie, and at the same time, he also proved himself in front of the boss.
The goal was not scored, which made him unable to let go for a long time.
He stared at Tyne goalkeeper Gotts who got up from the ground, and the opponent was high-fiving his fellow defenders in celebration.
※※※
The Hackney Knights started with a corner kick, and finally their French central defender Monte grabbed the point in the penalty area, but Monte's header went high. Can threaten the goal guarded by Goetz.
Tyne then launched an attack by taking a goal kick.
When Lamosa controlled the ball in the center circle, Wang Lie once again withdrew from the front to respond.
But Lamosa did not pass the football to Wang Lie, but to Van Ginkel.
Wang Lie saw Van Ginkel receiving the ball and turned around to insert into the penalty area.
Bello, the defensive midfielder of Hackney Knights, also followed Wang Lie back - because he was a bit far away from Van Ginkel. If he chose to attack Van Ginkel, then the latter would definitely pass the football through. To Wang Lie behind him.
Which is more dangerous for Van Ginkel to get the ball in front of the penalty area, or for Wang Lie to get the ball in front of the penalty area?
The Hackney Knights' Nigerian midfielder chose the latter without hesitation.
As soon as Van Ginkel saw Wang Lie taking away the Hackney Knights' defensive midfielder, he immediately took the football a step forward, then adjusted his pace, swung his foot to shoot, and when his foot came down, But it just pushes the football forward!
He passed the football to Vitini who crossed the left rib!
When everyone's attention was attracted by Van Ginkel with the ball and Wang Lie advancing forward, Vitini had quietly come to the ribs from the wing, and then suddenly burst out!
"Van Ginkel passes the ball! Vitini!!"
Huge cheers erupted at Leize Park Stadium, because even a fool could see how threatening Tyne's attack was!
Vitini receives the ball behind the Hackney Knights defence!
The Brazilian player's good sense of the ball allowed him to stop the ball steadily in a small space. Then he took a step to the outside with his left foot that stopped the ball, supported his body, and took small steps. Adjust your body orientation and center of gravity, turn your body to the center of the penalty area, open your hips, and swing your right leg!
It looked like he was passing the ball to Wang Lie who had already reached the middle of the penalty area.
Hackney Knight's right back Joseph Fitzwater tackled the football from behind at the risk of a foul!
Meanwhile, Hackney Knights goalkeeper Raphael Vito also moved from the center to block the angle at the front post.
Then Vitini's right foot hit the football, or to be precise, rubbed the football!
The football flies towards the back of the goal!
Vito had just reached the front point. When he saw Vitini shooting the ball to the back point, he rushed back with all his strength, stretching his hands as far as possible, but he didn't touch anything.
The football drew a very obvious arc, bypassed Vito's fingers, hit the inside of the far post, and then bounced into the goal!
The Leize Park volcano completely erupted, and the cheers of Tyne fans turned into hot lava and were thrown into the night sky.
The commentators exclaimed repeatedly:
"Vitini! Vitini! Vitini——!!! Tyne takes the lead again!"
" After the start of the second half, Tyne was the first to score! A beautiful tactical cooperation! Vitini helped Tyne lead Hackney Knights 2:1! "
"Hackney Knights scored for the first time in the game! Falling behind for the second time, they suffered a tough battle in the away game! ”
"Unbelievable! Tyne actually leads the Hackney Knights at home again!"
After completing the shot, Vitini saw the football flying into the goal, and ran excitedly to the corner flag area, and then quickly As he ran, he suddenly did a front flip!
He put his hands on the ground to help, jumped high into the air, and tumbled a circle and a half in the air. Finally, he staggered a little when his legs landed on the ground.
Then he turned around and hugged his teammates to celebrate.
“What a beautiful shot!” Wang Lie came up and patted Vitini hard on the back, but did not blame the opponent for not passing the ball to him...
In fact, he was worried about Vitini passing the ball to him - the ball should be shot directly. Shooting is the best option. If the ball is passed to him, it will waste such a good offensive opportunity.
Because he was surrounded by people in the middle of the penalty area, if Vitini really passed the football, he might not be able to catch it. Even if he can catch the ball, under the close defense of the Hackney Knight defenders, he may not even have room to kick his feet. Even if he can shoot, it does not guarantee the quality of the shot.
He had nothing to do with this goal. He was neither an organizer nor an assist, nor was he the final finisher, but he was still very happy.
It wasn’t just Vitini’s goal that allowed Tyne to regain the lead.
It is because this goal fully proves the current ability of the Tyne team. It is the ability of the team, not Wang Lie's ability alone.
After experiencing a defeat against Clayton Athletic, facing the Hackney Knights who ranked first in the league, Tyne hardened up!
They are no longer "mercenaries" who are at the mercy of others, but a group of "violent bandits"!
