Chapter 20 The Argentine's Goal Account

Returning goalkeepers is a very common routine in football.

When the passing path between the defenders is blocked, the goalkeeper at the back of the team becomes the first choice for passing.

As the goalkeeper is generally positioned far back, there is a lot of buffer space.

Coupled with the goalkeeper's wide field of vision, a big foot directly after receiving the return pass may form a new fighter.

As the game continues to grow, return goals will be added to team tactics as a common style of play.

Coaches have found that when goalkeepers are involved in the team, it can be a good drain on the opposing striker's energy.

Coupled with the fact that the goalkeeper's position is deeper, the danger increases a lot after introducing the opponent into the penalty area, but if you look at the whole field, you will find that the overall formation of the opponent will become loose due to the increased space.

If you launch a counterattack at this time, in the case of a poor connection between the opponent's midfield and the front, most of them will catch the opponent off guard.

But at this point, the return of the goalkeeper is often seen as an option that defenders have to make when they have to do so.

In the twentieth century, the return of goalkeepers was generally seen as both "dangerous" and "cowardly".

Needless to say, a single mistake by the goalkeeper can lead to a goal; And since you have passed back to the goalkeeper, it means that you have been forced to fail.

Seeing Claude Makelele's return pass, many Wolves fans also booed, reminding the Blues not to "waste time" again.

Although Chelsea's return pass was a bit 'LOW', the combination between Makelele and Tang Wu easily broke the Wolves forward press and made Chelsea's attack fluid.

It didn't take long for Wolves to discover that as long as they were pressing up front, the Blues defenders would not hesitate to pass back to Tang Wu.

After three or two times, the two Wolves strikers were choked by the switchback run, and their legs became sore, in a short time.

Not only were Wolves aware of the problem, but Terry and others were also aware of the benefits of doing so.

Because Tang Wu was fully running in the big penalty area, the Chelsea defender's return pass was very smooth, and he was given many attacking opportunities as a result.

In the 21st minute, Claude Makelele received John Terry's through ball near the halfway line, and by this time Wolves' midfield had become disjointed, and at first glance there were Blues players near the centre circle.

Duff easily latched on to Claude Makelele's pass and crossed to the right on the edge of the box, where Hasselbaink pushed the ball to Frank Lampard, who fired a powerful left-footed volley from 20 yards and curled the ball into the left side of the net.

The whole set worked so smoothly that it was often the Wolves forwards who put the ball in the hands of the target before they could rush forward. From Galla's return pass to the goalkeeper to Frank Lampard's powerful shot, seven Chelsea players passed six balls in between, and finally scored the goal.

Frank Lampard happily flailed his right fist after the goal and the effort was as refreshing as a summer drink for the Chelsea midfielder.

Chelsea seem to have relied on that style of play when they took the lead.

Although not every ball will be passed back to Tang Wu, the number of inverted feet in the backcourt gradually increases.

With a one-goal lead anyway, the Blues waited like hunters in a trap waiting for their prey to take the bait.

In the 36th minute, in order to buy time for the defenders, Wolves deliberately fouled Columshire in the center circle. Frank Lampard took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness to whip in a quick free-kick, Duff received the ball and sent it through, and Hasselbaink fired a low left-footed shot into the far corner from the left side of the box to make it 2-0.

Chelsea went from strength to strength, and just seven minutes into the second half, Claude Makelele crossed from the left. Faced with a formation that was stretched too loosely by Wolves, Gudjohnsen suddenly accelerated down the bottom and knocked back into the middle, and Duff grabbed the ball from six yards in front of goal.

It was Duff's first goal since joining Chelsea, and it seemed to be a response to Lasley: "I could have done better!"

After taking a 3-0 lead, the whole Chelsea squad relaxed.

Regardless, Wolves are generally a step below the rest of the Premier League.

In the 66th minute, seeing that the overall situation was decided, Lapinli patted Crespo on the shoulder and replaced the Argentine with the goal-scorer Hasselbacoin.

'Oh, Chelsea have made a substitution, No.9 Hasselbaink and No.21 Crespo.'

'The Argentine striker has played three games for Chelsea so far and has not collected any of them.

"If Crespo doesn't score again, maybe he is not adapted to the Premier League at all."

Just as Jan Jun was 'lamenting' Crespo's Blues career, Galla threw a throw-in.

As soon as Terry chested the ball, he spotted the Wolves striker trying to sneak up on him and swoop him in.

The blue army captain turned his head skillfully, and sure enough, Tang Wu ran to the position behind him and shouted to remind him.

Terry pushed Tang Wu with ease, and according to Tang Wu's instructions, pulled the side out.

Coupled with Babayaro, who ran to the middle, Tang Wu also had a lot of passing options.

Looking at the slow return pass, Tang Wu glanced up, and suddenly accelerated to run towards the ball.

"Huh? Doesn't Tang Wu plan to pass it back? Zhan Jun looked at Kamara, who was not very close to Tang Wu, and wondered.

With a "bang", a fiery red leather foot slammed into the middle and back of the oncoming ball.

Without the slightest hesitation, the ball was kicked forward by Tang Wu.

"Uh... Tang Wu's handling of this ball is a little sloppy! Zhan Jun was a little worried.

The attack formed after Chelsea's backfield fell to the back was very effective, Tang Wu opened his foot like this, will it cause the coach's dissatisfaction?

Of course, Zhan Jun's thought was just a flash.

With the lens of the camera, the ball kicked by Tang Wu flew across the half court, and it still flew forward.

The Premier League stadiums are generally on the small side, and the Molineux stadium is the best of the small.

The ball was kicked off the edge of the penalty area by Tang Wu, and when it landed, it was almost flying to the top of the Wolves penalty area.

Many Wolves players drew a semicircle on their necks with the ball flying in the air, and when their eyes were level with the ground again, they suddenly found a blue figure wearing No. 21 suddenly appeared at the front of their penalty area.

To the left and right of Crespo, two orange-and-yellow players followed

As former teammates of the Red Devils, the two not only have a tacit understanding with each other, but also have the top sense of smell of a giant player.

When Tang Wu made this unusual kick, the two of them smelled a different smell.

Paul. Ince, England's first black captain, played as a midfielder.

Dennis. Irwin, a Manchester United legend, joined Ryan Giggs on the left side of Old Trafford to make him the club's all-time most decorated player, playing as a defender.

The two were sandwiched between Crespo on the left and right, and Paul's hand even grabbed the corner of the Argentine's shirt, preventing him from comfortably receiving the ball while limiting his speed.

With a "bang", the ball bounced off the ground.

Looking at the ball bouncing towards his goal, Wolves goalkeeper Michael Murray. Oakes also rushed out of the goal line, intending to take the ball into his arms first.

Things are going as expected for the Wolves players, but the reality is slipping up.

Crespo, who is only 28 years old this year, is in the prime of his career; Paul is 36 years old this year, Ervin is even older, and the 38-year-old Irvin will be retiring from the boots at the end of the season.

Suddenly, the young Crespo burst out with unprecedented force and took another step forward from the two veterans' packs.

The bouncing ball was like an electromagnet, allowing Crespo, a newly-on-the-pitched nail nailed to the Wolves backfield, to continue to accelerate forward.

Looking at Crespo, who rushed out from the pull of the two players, Oakes was startled, and quickly sped up and ran towards the ball.

It looked like he was about to bown the bouncing ball, but no one forgot that Crespo's goal only needed one kick.

When the Argentine's white boots tapped the underside of the ball, the bouncing ball flew high again. Over Oakes' head, he "slowly" drilled into the net.

At this moment, not only Crespo, who scored the goal, ran frantically along the bottom line, but even the owner of the stands, Abu, also showed unusually excited and crazy. Different from the previous polite applause and smiles, this time Abu actually clenched his fists and bowed down and roared, and then high-fived and celebrated with the people around him with a smile on his face.

“GOOOOOOOOAL! In the 67th minute of the game, the goal was scored by Hernan. Crespo! The Chelsea announcer knew the significance of the goal and shouted into the microphone, 'Oh my God, what an amazing thing!' Scored in the first minute on the pitch! It was Crespo's first goal for Chelsea and the Argentine striker finally opened his account! ”

In the broadcast room, Zhan Jun was also very happy to see Chelsea score, but what made him even more excited was that he found that the subtitles given on the screen showed that the assist of this goal was actually counted on Tang Wu's head!
