Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 188 The Last 10 Minutes

When Bernardo hit the football into the goal, Lehman on the sidelines raised his arms and shouted, turned and jumped up.

Then he turned to go to Fisher to celebrate, and then saw Fisher standing behind him.

"Aha, Matthews!" Lehman happily opened his arms, hugged Fisher, and patted him hard on the back.

But Fisher didn't seem very excited, and looked a little dazed.

"What's wrong with you, Matthews?" Lehman was stunned for a moment and immediately responded, "Is there any new news over there?"

Fisher nodded: "The sailor is ahead."

The excited expression on Lehman's face also gradually disappeared.

This is really not good news.

The Mariners took the lead and the South China Tigers drew.

In terms of points, the South China Tigers are still one point behind the Sailors.

"We still have ten minutes, Friedrich," Fisher reminded Lehmann.

You have to score another goal in the remaining ten minutes to win the game, otherwise nothing will work.

Lehman let go of his partner, turned around and roared into the court: "Hurry up and keep attacking!"

With ten minutes left in the game, he had no choice but to keep attacking.

"Calm down!" Zhao Kangming immediately gave instructions to the players on the field after losing the ball. "Steady and counterattack!"

He didn't even have time to regret and be unwilling to lose the ball.

If he still wants to win, he must make adjustments immediately.

There are still ten minutes left in the game. Even if it is not for the league championship, but only for the top three in the league, it must be won.

After he gave instructions on the sidelines, he returned to the coach's bench, where assistant coach Chen Mo was waiting for him with a mobile phone in his hand.

"The sailors scored, Lao Zhao. The thunder and lightning are behind."

This may be the only good news after losing the ball. After all, if the Raiden loses the game, then even if the Flash Star loses, it can still be the third place in the league and keep the qualification for the AFC Champions League next season.

Zhao Kangming picked up a bottle of water,

He unscrewed the cap and took a sip for himself, then shook his head and said, "No matter what happens over there, Old Chen. Anyway, in the last ten minutes, we still have to win."

※※※

"Attack! Press up! Attack!" Yan Li, head coach of Hedong Thunder, yelled and waved his arms on the sidelines, telling his players what to do after losing the ball through his body language.

Even though his adjustments might leave his team empty at the back and concede more goals, he still did it.

Because there is only one way to go.

There are still ten minutes left in the game, and if you are still looking forward and backward, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, then you really deserve to die.

If you don't try your best at this time, when will you have to wait?

Besides, wasn't Flashing Star also equalized by the South China Tiger? Our side only needs to score one more goal to draw with the Sailors, which has the same points as the Flash Stars, and we can also rely on the outcome to get third in the league in the end and squeeze out the Flash Stars.

So things are not as bad as they seem.

Hedong Thunderbolt only needs one goal.

Yan Li doesn't care much if he can't win the league championship. The qualification for the AFC Champions League next season is the most important thing.

※※※

After the game restarted, the fans of the Flash Stars in the stands of the Anton Provincial Sports Center gradually recovered from their previous disappointment.

The shouts of Flash Star fans sounded again in the stands.

In any case, Flash Star is now just tied, not lost.

Ten minutes to the end of the game.

Whether these ten minutes are long or short, everything is possible.

As the twelfth member of the team, they naturally have to fight to the end with the team.

That is, at this time, there was no score and game time information displayed on the big screen at the scene, only a row of numbers was displayed:

66729

At the same time, the announcer's voice sounded on the live radio:

"The number of spectators in this game is 66,729!"

"Wow...that's an exaggeration!" He Feng couldn't help exclaiming when he saw this scene, "I remember that the Anton Provincial Sports Center can only accommodate 60,000 people? This is already beyond the capacity of this stadium. The number of people is designed... If I remember correctly? Is this the attendance record for the Chinese Super League?"

Yan Kang nodded beside him: "Yes, that's right, He Feng. This game created the attendance record in the history of the Chinese Super League."

"Single-season scoring record, single-game attendance record, and newly promoted horses competing for the championship... This game, this season has really happened too many things that we haven't seen before..." He Feng said with emotion. "But now, there are only ten minutes left in such a game, such a season... Please keep your eyes open and watch carefully, what will happen in the last ten minutes!"

※※※

"The morale of the South China Tigers team that equalized the score was greatly boosted. They continued to attack the goal of the flashing stars! Come on, South China Tigers! There are still ten minutes, you can do it!" Nanling Satellite TV Sports Channel commentator was also in the security. Cheering for the team from the commentary booth of the Eastern Provincial Sports Center.

In the past away games, he was always in the rear studio, watching the game broadcast signal while explaining to the audience.

But today's game is special, so Nanling Satellite TV's sports channel has specially planned a special plan, and let the commentator come directly to the scene to explain the game.

Bring the audience a more immersive feeling.

At the same time, it also reflects the importance they attach to this game.

This game is related to whether the South China Tigers can successfully defend the league championship, and fans from all over Nanling Province will focus on this.

The commentator sat on the commentary booth to explain the game, feeling the momentum created by the fans on the scene, not weaker than the South China Tigers' home court at all. He had always been worried that the players of the South China Tigers would be overwhelmed by the momentum created by the Flash Star fans.

As a result, the South China Tigers evened the score, which lifted his spirits.

"Junpei Morikawa fouled Lou Jiarong...The South China Tigers got a free kick in the frontcourt in a good position...Lou Jiarong personally took the penalty, which has already entered his range..."

"Lou Jiarong runs up and shoots! Well... oops!"

When the football went over the wall and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal, the Nanling Satellite TV commentator couldn't help shouting the word "strike" halfway. He thought the goal would be scored.

Unexpectedly, the football hit the post, rebounded and flew to the sideline...

"Dangerous!" The Anton Satellite TV commentator not far away exclaimed, his voice trembling like the doorpost. "The goal post saved Shining Star's life!"

When the football flew out of the touchline and became a dead ball, captain Qin Lin slapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly: "Hold on! Don't panic! Time is on our side!!"

At the same time, Yao Huasheng raised his fist and shouted, "Press it up!! Don't think so much, go all out to attack! I'm behind!"

Those personal friendships that used to be chatted and laughed in the player tunnel, and relied on taking care of teammates on the phone, disappeared at this time.

Everyone's pursuit of victory trumps everything else.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his bayonet was broken.

One party must die here today.

※※※

There were cheers and singing in Shanhai Stadium.

Mariners fans are cheering for their team.

They all knew that the South China Tigers had tied the game.

But it was just an equalizer.

According to the current points, Shanhai Sailor is ranked first.

As long as the South China Tigers don't win, the Mariners will be the league champions.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Zhou Shenghai raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Five minutes had passed ten minutes.

Five minutes left.

Counting injury time, it should be less than ten minutes.

He knew that at the Provincial Sports Center in Jincheng, Flash Star and the South China Tigers were still tied 2:2.

While cheering for his son, he also cheered for Shining Star, hoping that Shining Star can bring out his "shit stirrer" style to the extreme and drag the South China Tigers into the water at home, so that his son can win in the first professional season. Become the Super Champion!

And he used the winning goal to help the team get this honor.

It's beautiful just thinking about it!

He actually doesn't care whether his son can surpass Hu Lai, but if his son can win the league championship, it will be very helpful to his future road, which is equivalent to driving on an unimpeded highway.

※※※

Luo Kai looked up at the stands.

A continuous singing sound came out from there and spread throughout the audience.

That's the North Stand where diehard Mariners fans gather, and it's the fans who create most of the atmosphere at the stadium.

It's just that to Luo Kai's ears, these songs are more like mocking him.

Taunting him for being self-defeating, mocking him for not being self-aware.

To think that this season is Luo Kai's season...

It's ironic now to think of his expectations for himself at the beginning of the season.

Currently the top scorer in the league is Hu Lai. He has scored 29 goals. Bernardo will definitely not be able to catch up with him.

Not only did he become the top scorer in the league, he also broke Shi Wuyan's scoring record in a single season.

It just stole all the limelight.

And what about myself?

Although there were ten assists, there were only five goals.

Not even a fraction of others.

Now thinking about his ambitions at the beginning of the season, it was like a slap in the face, severely slapped on his face today.

Burning pain.

But Luo Kai didn't sink down just like that, it was as if his fighting spirit had been pulled out by this slap.

He looked up at the time of the game. In the 85th minute of the game, the Sailors had already started to recover their defense.

They seem to think that this way they will be able to hold on to a one-goal lead...

"Hedong Leiden pushed the offense forward...Shanhai Sailors have basically retreated across the board. They dare not take the risk of attacking, for fear of being counterattacked by Thunder and stealing one. After all, there is Luo Kai with excellent personal ability and fast speed in the Thunder formation... Although this game Luo Kai has not scored or assisted in the game..."

Luo Kai, who was on the front line, looked left and right. He was surrounded by people, including his own teammates and sailor players.

In the second half, he followed coach Yan Li's instructions and ambushed around Barragan, waiting to control the second point.

But the effect of this tactic was not very good. The Shanhai Sailor paid great attention to defending the second point in the penalty area, so Luo Kai didn't get any decent chances. The Shanhai sailors should have carefully studied the game where Hedong Thunder beat the South China Tigers at home before the game, and knew how Luo Kai defeated the South China Tigers.

Luo Kai made a bold decision: he didn't follow the coach's arrangement for him, and retreated to meet his teammates on his own initiative.

So everyone saw Luo Kai running back from the front, approaching the teammate holding the ball all the way.

On Shanhai Sailor's side, central defender Xie Baofeng, who was originally defending Luo Kai in the penalty area, was hesitant when he saw this, wondering if he should go out with him.

At this moment, the team captain, midfielder Jiang Wanqing raised his hand to stop him: "Stay in your position!"

Then he followed himself.

He could see that Luo Kai wanted to retreat to get the ball, after all, only by retreating would there be space.

Of course, Luo Kai can't just take the ball so easily.

Luo Kai, who retreated, made a very subtle gesture to his teammates, asking him to pass the football to the outside of his body instead of under his feet.

Upon seeing this, the teammates passed the ball decisively.

I saw Luo Kai facing the football and trying to stop the ball, Jiang Wanqing who followed immediately got stuck inside to prevent Luo Kai from going in the middle.

But Luo Kai didn't think about going to the middle from the beginning. He made a gesture to catch the ball but passed the football from his outside, then turned around suddenly, using Jiang Wanqing as the axis, turned around and chased the ball from the outside!

"Beautiful turn!" shouted the narrator of Hedong Satellite TV.

At this time, the fans of Hedong Thunder need something that can boost their morale.

Luo Kai turned around and blocked the opposing captain behind him, which really boosted morale.

After turning around, Luo Kai caught up with the football and dribbled the ball towards the Shanhaier's defense.

Zhou Zijing rushed over to steal the ball. In the last few minutes, he, the center, also turned into a defensive player.

Facing Zhou Zijing's attack from the side, Luo Kai made an emergency stop and dodged Zhou Zijing, but at the same time, Jiang Wanqing chased him back.

Jiang Wanqing was stuck on the inside line from the side, and at the same time kept slamming Luo Kai with his arms between his arms, trying to make him lose his balance while dribbling the ball.

At this time, the repeated hard training day and night played a role, Luo Kai's muscles tensed up, and he withstood Jiang Wanqing's crush!

Although he stumbled, he still took the football to the penalty area!

And when he was approaching the penalty area, while facing Jiang Wanqing's defense, he swung his left leg as if to shoot directly from a long distance.

Jiang Wanqing accelerated to overtake from the side and shoveled towards the football.

Luo Kai shot a feint, swung his left foot down and knocked the football behind him with his heel, and turned around suddenly, shaking the captain of the Shanhai Sailor to the ground!

"Pretty!! Luo Kai!!"

Luo Kai, who knocked Jiang Wanqing down, just turned around and grabbed the ball.

Song Yong, another midfielder of the Sailors, has already blocked in front of him.

At this time, Luo Kai raised his right foot and turned his body to the middle, as if he wanted to pass the football to his teammates there.

Seeing this, Song Yong didn't come up to attack Luo Kai, but got stuck in the middle, guarding the path of the other Thunder players.

Seeing that Song Yong was being fooled, Luo Kai twisted his hips and turned his body, wrapped the football with the inside of his right foot and pulled it back, and then broke through the penalty area in a straight line!

The spoon is amazing!

He just entered the restricted area!

Seeing this scene, the Mariners fans boos and screamed deafeningly in the stands of Shanhai Stadium.

The corners of Luo Kai's mouth curled up—this is the reaction the enemy should have when facing me...

However, he seemed to be in a desperate situation - as soon as he entered the penalty area, Luo Kai was almost surrounded.

Two central defenders of Shanhai Sailor appeared directly in front of him, like guards at the pass, blocking the traffic arteries.

At the same time, Jiang Wanqing and Song Yong came back and were about to catch up with Luo Kai from behind.

"Pass! Lo!!" Barragan yelled, raising his arms in the penalty area.

There is no one around him anymore, this is the perfect opportunity, as long as Luo Kai can pass the football, as he has done so many times this season...

He turned his head to look at Luo Kai, and saw him swinging his right foot in the crowd...

Barragan gets ready and rushes out to catch the ball and shoot.

Luo Kai poked the football forward with the toe of his right foot!

The football didn't fly to where Barragan was, but ran towards the far corner of the goal!

This caught Sun Rong, the main goalkeeper of Shanhai Sailors, by surprise. When he saw the football suddenly come out of the encirclement and was rushing towards the goal, he fell to the ground in a hurry to save it!

His hand touched the football.

But he didn't set the football aside, because the ball continued to fly tenaciously to the back point.

It landed on the turf and bounced for a while, but didn't change direction, and finally ran into the net while rubbing against the inside of the goal post!
