Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Sword at Home

The next day, at the Oxford United training ground, Joey Champoard regained his usual smile and trained as if nothing had happened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the end of the regular afternoon training, Joey Chambaut approached the second to challenge. As a result, in the one-on-one challenge training with the second, with his explosive explosion of skill and speed grinding, the second was envious, and the second was injured. The challenge game went on for 7 rounds, and II lost 5 rounds. Joey Champo laughed, turned around, and walked away. He left the second at the training ground and drove home.

II shook his head indignantly, why is it always me who is hurt?

The second is also ready to go home after packing up, McLaren is not much of a mess now, and the second has no free ride. The Bentley Continental R, which was ordered by the second himself, is still a few days away.

II had to take a cap and make the 121 bus back to Oxford. Fortunately, it was not recognized by the Oxford United fans.

The second has not made a home appearance at Oxford United now, and most fans only know the second on TV, but in reality it is difficult to recognise.

A few days passed, and at the end of the month, the opportunity for the second to make his home debut came.

Today is 31 October, when Oxford United host Watford.

As soon as noon passed, fans began to come to the vicinity of the Huntington Manor Stadium one after another, and a small group of bustling groups began to make noise.

He started the game, which was also his first appearance at Oxford United's home stadium at Manor Stadium. It's really, if not, it feels as strange to enter the Manor stadium dressing room as it is to enter the dressing room of another club, and it reminds the second that this is the first time to show a sword at home.

The Manor Stadium was inaugurated in 1925, when Oxford United was not called Oxford United, it was still called Huntington United Football Team. Manor Stadium has endured the bombardment of World War II, and today, it is 67 years old. Like the setting sun, it is about to set. But it carries the fond memories of the older generation of fans, and also brings countless joys and sorrows to Oxford United fans. The Manor Stadium was played in 1964 by Oxford United and Preston North End in the FA Cup, with a record 22,750 fans attended.

II looked around on the pitch. The main grandstand is on the west side, at the main gate of Oxford United, near the beech road bus station, so it is also called the main grandstand of the beech road station, but only the main grandstand has less than 3,000 seats. To the north, also behind the goal of the stadium, it is specially intended for visiting fans and is also close to the famous walking scenic tourist attraction of Huntington, which is called the Cuckoo Lane Grandstand.

On the opposite side of the Cuckoo Lane stands, of course, is Oxford's own fan stands, which are located near London Road to the south and are named London Road Station Stands. The rest are the stands of neutral fans, which are actually basically the stands of Oxford United fans as well. Near Osler to the east, the name is also very simple, it is called the Åsler Road Station Grandstand.

More than 10,000 people came to Oxford United in this game, plus hundreds of Watford fans, and the stadium stands were basically bustling with the ball.

Outside the first main stand, fans stood and watched the game. However, standing to watch the game has the advantage of standing to watch the game, and it can be unscrupulously lively.

Away to challenge the Watford team, in the team manager Steve Brown. Under the leadership of Bellivan, this year's Hornets are not much different from Oxford United, and they are all lower teams. It's just that Watford is slightly higher than Oxford United, and Oxford United's home record this season is not very good, with two wins, two losses and three draws.

A pair of difficult brothers.

Today the Manor Stadium welcomed the Hornets, Brian. Horton's mind moved. Jean II replaces right wingback Nick. Cusack came on and flew with Bee Joey Champagau, stepping up the attack and winning the game.

After Oxford United captain Les Phillips and Watford captain Nigel Gibbs exchanged flags, the referee blew a long whistle and the game began to the cheers of the fans.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Oxford United fans were like a bolt from the blue, and they were attacked by a big stuffy stick. Furlong scored a goal for Oxford United.

This goal may be to blame on the team's substitute goalkeeper Johnson, who is really not competitive enough, the timing of the attack is inappropriate, and he collided with central defender McFord.

The team's original Northern Ireland goalkeeper, Paul Klee, was injured during the national team game and was unable to play. Johnson only came on the bench and came off the bench, probably because he played for the first time since the start of this season and has not yet adapted to the atmosphere of the game.

Speaking of this Paul. Klee was injured, and that was a wry smile. The average goalkeeper is in the game, in the whole game, he is very focused, and he is not.

This thing, he went to the national team to play a friendly match, and as a result, his team's striker scored, and the whole team was happy, and he also celebrated. You celebrate, you celebrate, wave your hand, jump, vent, it's no problem. Well, he didn't think it was enjoyable, so he picked up a white towel from his sideline sports bag and interacted with the fans, just like the NBA bench players celebrated at that time.

As a result, the goods were overjoyed and forgot to get back to the field in time. At the urging of the referee's whistle, he quickly threw away his towel and hurried in. But this goods, as soon as he saw that the referee was about to take out the card, he communicated with the referee from a distance and begged for mercy, and rushed back to his position.

This goods, by coincidence, accidentally hit the goal post. This shipment was not angry, and it hit it, but the injury was not light, and I didn't know how to break my ribs, so I had to rest for two months.

After getting the news, Brian. Coach Horton scolded his mother angrily. But no Coach Horton has a way but to let Johnson keep the goal. Although Johnson's goalkeeping level is decent, and the goalkeepers who came out of the lower leagues have a lot of experience in the game, but the goal-line skills are relatively poor, and there are actually few opportunities in League One.

In this game, Johnson was in goal, and he made a mistake at the beginning of the attack.

The mood of the fans of Oxford United was as if they were drenched in a downpour, and for a while, the singing stopped!

Accident, what a surprise.

The second was depressed, and the two games he participated in, one loss and one draw, did not achieve a victory.

Could it be that he is a scourge?

On the restart of half-time, II winked at Jimmy Magilton.

Jimmy Magilton received a pass from John Dening, stepped on it and waited for the Watford player to come up.

At this point, Dennin went straight into the middle, and the little bee charged along the left side. Jimmy Magillton passes the ball to Chris Allen and strides forward on the left. For a moment, the left side of the Oxford United team launched a fierce attack like a storm.

At this time, the second was not idle on his right, secretly running across the middle line, and was ready to attack on the right.

Sure enough, Jimmy Magillton did not disappoint, he received the ball again in the middle, turned sideways, took the ball to Ichigo, and passed the ball with his right foot into the corner of the big penalty area on the right.

At this time, it was like riding a motorcycle, and he whined and rushed to the landing point of the football. With a buckle of his right foot, he went to the situation and passed Watford's midfielder Andy. Hissinghna. As soon as the second saw it, there was only a central defender left in front of him, and he didn't charge yet.

The fans of the stadium finally rejoiced, and what they loved most was to see the second running like a happy horse. The last two times I watched it on TV, this time I saw Nishi live performing.

The Oxford United fans at Manor Stadium shouted in unison to cheer for the II.

II pounded up the speed, Jason. Raphael. Solomon hesitated for a moment, and realized that it was too late to intercept head-on. In order to stop Ni from charging with the ball, he wanted to hit Nishi from the side, forgetting for a moment that this was a forbidden area.

In the process of running with the ball, II suddenly picked up speed and broke away from Jason. Raphael. Solomon attack area.

Watford's defence was tight, but goalkeeper Perry John, who moved from Crystal Palace this year, was smart enough to attack and block the angle of his shot from the side.

In order to shoot directly, you have to go around in an arc when you shoot before you can hit the ball into the goal. The technique of this shot, that really requires a lot of skill. But in this kind of high-speed running, Ni has to do a skillful shot, which Ni really can't do at the moment.

Embarrassed?

No! Football is not a one-man sport!

II made a sharp stop, then swept the ball to the left, Jimmy Magilton slapped his horse to arrive, and with a light push, the ball went in.

Oxford's pitch is finally boiling.

Celebrate! No, the score is still 1:1!

II quickly pulled the ball out of the net and ran to the midfield, and II was really anxious for victory.

After the restart of the game.

The players of the Oxford United team were also overwhelmed by the high momentum of the II's desire to win.

The cheering of the home fans was incessant, and the Oxford United players began to get their blood boiling.

After Watford scored a goal, Oxford were able to pull it back quickly, so is it no wonder that the morale of the Oxford players is not so high?

The second launched wave after wave of attacks on the right flank, pushing Watford's left wing-back back back and making him almost a left-back. The second made waves on the right side of Oxford United, causing Watford's defensive center to deviate from the left side, and the right side of the Oxford United was concentrated to defend.

At this time, Oxford United's left-flanked bee, Joey Champo, began to release his poisonous needle. The little bee loved the scene, no one paid attention to him, and there was empty space in front, behind and to the right. There is always a blank space on the left, who calls him the left defender?

At this time, the little bees were running happily, and even Nigel Gibbs, the captain of Watford, he didn't pay attention to it.

Bee Joey Champo dribbled the ball to Nigel Gibbs, just as the Bees usually challenged Nigel Gibbs one-on-one with II in training, and began to single out Watford's right wing-back, Watford's captain Nigel Gibbs.

As soon as the little bee feint out, it seemed to rush forward but went to the right, passed Jergibs, and turned into a striker to launch a surprise attack.

Watford's midfielder Gary Potter saw that it was not good and hurriedly stepped forward to block. Behind Gary Porter, that's Watford's big penalty area, where the bees can pass and break through, and the future is limitless.

Like a running antelope, II strode into the Watford penalty area, followed by a few wild wolves, relentlessly chasing and intercepting him.

Running without the ball, II will be now. When the second entered the box, only Watford's centre-back and goalkeeper remained.

It's time for II to reduce the distance of his pace, increase the frequency, and start running parallel along the line of the big exclusion zone.

At the same time, II reached out and held it high, asking for the ball.

Joey Chambaugh played a slippery head and passed the football to Chris Allen in the middle of the back, not directly to II.

Oxford United striker John Dening and attacking striker Jimmy Magilton both started to sprint left and right. At this time, Watford's defensive attention was taken away by these two men, but the central position was relinquished.

II made a sharp stop, took a big step, and collided directly with Gary Potter, who was returning to the defense, and II acted as if there was no such thing. II received a pass from Chris Allen in the middle of the blank space, leaned over, and shot hard with his right foot, and his strong body emitted a terrifying explosive force.

With a bang, the ball crossed the halfway line with strong winds, flew past Watford goalkeeper Perry John's eyes and fingertips, and flew into the net against the crossbar.
