Chapter 31: I'll Go Back
Tang Wudi's outstanding performance completely boosted the morale of the Blue Army.
In the time that followed, Makelele and Terry barely allowed the Myburgers to break through their defences.
If Tang Wu hadn't run out of the penalty area to participate in passing and receiving the ball himself, maybe the young Chinese goalkeeper would have been able to sleep in front of the goal.
In the 48th minute, Gudjohnsen passed to Gronschar, and although Crespo was unguarded in the middle, the Dane's cross was a little too high.
In the 55th minute, Gudjohnsen received a header from Glonshire from 10 yards out in the middle of the penalty area, and Crespo put a foot in the air and knocked the ball away.
In the 78th minute, Middlesbrough defender Cooper made a mistake in passing, and Crespo won the ball and fired a shot from the edge of the box to the face of goalkeeper Schwarzer.
Ranieri then brought on Mutu and Joe. Cole, intending to continue to intensify the offensive.
In the 88th minute, Chelsea, who were in full control of the situation, finally had their chance.
Duff forced an overtake on the right and crossed the ball from the touchline as it was about to take it off the touchline. Crespo's header from a tight angle on the left side of the six-yard box headed the ball into Myburgh's goal to seal the win for Chelsea.
After the goal, Crespo clenched his fist with one hand and swung it high in the air, which was matched by a chrysanthemum-like smile on the sidelines.
It was Crespo's second game on the scoresheet, and coincidentally Tang Wu started both games.
After the game, the Chelsea coaching staff was in jubilation.
It was a complete victory, a complete victory in a "planned"!
Throughout the game, the Blues were mixed. If Crespo himself hadn't wasted too many chances, the score would not have been blocked by two goals at all.
And this simple flaw, as long as the Argentines adapt for a while, can be completely avoided!
He is in the right mood and he feels like he's about to put together the best squad for the Blues this season!
......
"Hey! Feed! Here, Tang Wu, here! Just as Tang Wu was about to walk into the players' tunnel, a familiar voice stopped him.
It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call themselves by their name in such authentic Chinese!
Tang Wu looked up and saw that there was a skinny little Chinese in the first row of stands next to him. With a camera around his neck, he is crouched under the railing and waving vigorously at himself. Seeing Tang Wu's gaze looking at him, Yu Hang shouted loudly again: "Tang Wu, Tang Wu!" This way, this way!! ”
"Hello!"
"Hello, Tang Wu, I'm a reporter from Old Lang!" It was hard to hide the excitement in his heart, Yu Hang didn't expect Tang Wu to be so approachable, he stretched out his hand from the gap in the railing and shook Tang Wu's hand, "I'm here to watch your game from China!" ”
"Oh? Do I have fans in the country too? Tang Wu touched the back of his head.
"Of course! You don't know that you are already popular in the country! As an "unrealistic" reporter, Yu Hang opened his mouth to boast.
Tang Wu naturally didn't believe the praise of a reporter he had never met, but Yu Hang's answer really made Tang Wu's already happy mood even more pleasant.
"Then I have to ask you to go back and help me say hello to the fans in China!"
"It should be, that's how it should be!" Yu Hang Liandao. "Tang Wu, can you let me take a photo?"
"Whatever." Tang Wu stretched out his left hand and spread his six fingers, this was the only one he knew at this stage that no one could imitate the POSE!
With a "click", Yu Hang pressed the shutter.
"By the way, Tang Wu, why didn't you respond to the call of the National Olympic Games?" Yu Hang suddenly stepped forward and asked quietly.
'You see, I'm here to keep the goal for Chelsea and maybe you'll see me again in the Champions League in a few days. So, I can't leave for a while! "There is no camera, and it is not a serious live broadcast in China, Tang Wu is just bragging with a reporter he met for the first time.
"Sure enough, sure enough, I knew!" Yu Hang slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Tang Wu, are you already the main goalkeeper of Chelsea?" You'll start the next Champions League group game against Lazio, right? ”
"Uh... Well, this one! "I was going to blow it to each other, but I didn't expect this thin man with glasses to take it seriously." It depends on the coach, and all I can do is do the training every day. ”
"Well, I know, I know!" Yu Hang gave Tang Wu a look, "You professional players won't easily pass on the starting lineup, I understand this!" ”
Seeing Yu Hang blink at him violently, Tang Wu sighed, it seems that this kid is hopeless!
"But Tang Wu, the situation of the National Olympic Games is not very good now. Not to mention the lack of offense, the defense is also lax. If you have a goalkeeper like you who can start Chelsea, the defensive ability of the Olympic team will definitely be raised to a higher level. Yu Hang sighed and said seriously.
"You see you also said, I can only improve the defense of the National Olympic Games at most when I go back, and it will not help the offense!" Tang Wu spread his hands, "When the time comes, we will all play a draw, and we can't get out of the line or can't get out of the line." ”
"That's the same thing." Yu Hang nodded, "If only Tang Wu were a striker!" ”
"So the problem of the Olympic Games is not in defense, but in offense. If you have this time, let's find out more about why those strikers always don't shoot! ”
"HEY, TOM, GOING BACK!" Terry shouted at Tang Wu at the entrance of the passage. It's away from home, and with Chelsea getting involved in a big case recently, it's better for players to talk less after the game.
"Wait Tang Wu, I'll ask one last question!" Seeing that Tang Wu was leaving, Yu Hang hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Wu's collar.
"Okay, excuse me."
"Tang Wu, you will return to China to participate in the National Olympics, right?" In the end, Yu Hang's tone suddenly became serious, but with a hint of expectation and pleading. One hand gripped the railing, and the other hand tightly grasped Tang Wu's jersey. The dark and thin face was clinging to the gap between the railings, and his eyes were fixed on Tang Wu's eyes.
"Relax buddy!" Tang Wu took Yu Hang's hand away from his shoulder, "If the opportunity is right, I will return to China." ”
"But..."Yu Hang was obviously dissatisfied with Tang Wu's "perfunctory" answer, and wanted to continue to ask something.
Tang Wu dodged Yu Hang's hand stretched out again, took off his gloves and stuffed them into the other party's hand, "Don't forget, I'm a Chinese!" ”
After speaking, Tang Wu walked into the players' tunnel without looking back.
The noise around is still there.
The sighs of the home team's fans and the shouts of the away team's fans quickly drowned out Tang Wu's back.
It wasn't until Tang Wu's figure disappeared into the player's tunnel that Yu Hang recovered from his "stiffness" and sat on the ground.
Looking at the white-green gloves customized by the manufacturer in his hand, Yu Hang pressed it his chest.
