Chapter 269: Ass Goal

Vardy's balloon gave Millwall the lead over Blackburn.

Millwall was celebrating with joy.

As the protagonist, Jamie Vardy is not in a good mood, and even if he jumps away, he does not want to score the first Premier League goal of his career and become a well-known dribble.

That would just be someone else's talking point.

Right now, for example, every teammate has a smile on their face, and they're happy about the goal, but the talk is, "Jamie, you're so lucky!" ”

"Scored on the first start!"

"The ball just now was kicked beautifully, and your gorgeous performance deceived the goalkeeper!"

"The goalkeeper would never have imagined that you fell on purpose! yes, you must have done it on purpose, didn't you? Jamie! Hahaha......"

"You're so handsome!"

“……”

A group of teammates laughed and said the opposite.

Vardy's face was also full of depression, he not only thought about the present, but also thought about what fans would say when they talked about his first goal if he could become a big star in the future.

"Do you know Vardy? He scored on his first start in the Premier League, but it was interesting to score and he fell! It was a big mistake, but the ball went in! ”

"That goal was very interesting!"

"I've watched it countless times in a row, and I can't help but laugh every time!"

“……”

Vardy's mood became complicated.

The first Premier League goal would have been a good memory, but when I remember it later, it will be laughing and embarrassing.

Mark Hughes was also in a bad mood.

Vardy felt that the 'way' of scoring goals was not good, and Mark Hughes was purely depressed by the scoreline, and the opponent's rookie goalscorer could score any goal he kicked, which also made Blackburn's advantage in the situation a joke.

In football, it's all about scoring goals!

Blair had the advantage of the situation but did not convert it into a goal.

This can't go on like this!

Mark Hughes simply walked to the scene, looked at the field with a grim expression, and personally directed the team's offensive, "Be sure to score in the first half!" ”

That's what it has to do!

In the case of playing an advantage in the situation, the score was still behind in the first half, it is better to simply take advantage of the situation, and there will be enough reasons to lose, at least it can be said that Millwall is too strong, but if there is no goal in the situation, it will be criticized by the media as 'lack of forward ability'.

That was already the case last season.

Blackburn's offensive has improved this season and Mark Hughes doesn't want to hear what the reports call 'lack of forward quality'.

on the field.

Blackburn Rovers are trying to prove their attacking qualities, playing on the offensive and getting the ball into key positions again and again in order to equalise quickly.

But the lack of forward ability is indeed a big problem.

It's not just the media that's saying it's Blackburn's attacking line is a problem, the introduction of Bellamy in the summer has not led to a significant improvement in the midfield, and the goal scoring efficiency in past games has been higher than last season, but the improvement has been very small.

Now Blair Rovers have the same problem, they have the advantage of the situation, but when the ball is in key positions, it is difficult to break through.

In the next ten minutes, Blackburn Rovers continued to attack, and the football was passed into good positions again and again, but only three direct shots were taken, and only one of them threatened the Millwall goal.

If you don't watch the game on the field, the statistics alone are not bad, but Blackburn's advantage is obvious, Millwall can only defend most of the time, and compared to the superior situation, the number of threats to the goal is pitiful.

————

The first half was over.

Ever since Vardy gave Millwall the lead, Blackburn's attack has been playing well.

While efficiency up front is a serious issue, it must be admitted that Blackburn have a clear advantage in the game and it won't be difficult to find the Millwall goal if they are given enough time.

Many commentators and the media talk about the game, and they are also very optimistic about Blackburn, "Sky Sports" commentator Belu Elson analyzed, "Blackburn played well at home, Millwall's young striker Vardy scored a curling shot in the first half, but everyone can see that he is just lucky." ”

Belu Elson didn't analyze the goal too much, turning the conversation to the play of the two teams, "But Blackburn's advantage is still obvious, they have more possession, they play better in midfield, and the overall squad strength is better than Millwall!" ”

"The game is going on normally and Blair has a good chance of tying the score!"

Other media outlets see it that way.

Blackburn Rovers held their breath and wanted to play well in the second half.

One half of the game, let them consciously understand Millwall's strength level, Millwall is not as strong as they imagined, in comparison they are stronger, whether it is coordination, the ability of players in various positions and on-the-spot play, they are not weaker than their opponents.

So it's only a matter of time before you score!

Mark Hughes also did the mental work for the whole team, telling them that they must work hard in the second half, everyone must do their best to try to equalize quickly, as long as the equaliser is the score, there will be a chance to overtake.

"Our goal is to win! Every point equals failure! Mark Hughes' statement gave the Blackburn players a lot of fighting spirit and confidence as they returned to the pitch with the belief that they were going to win.

It's like stepping into the battlefield!

Everyone at the scene could feel the solemnity of the atmosphere, and even the fans in the audience were full of perseverance.

The breath of the game also makes people feel, "This is a war without gunpowder!" ”

War!

What a serious description!

In this serious atmosphere, the second half of the game began, and as Blackburn's attack unfolded, the camera footage also gave the two managers shots.

The two shots are zoomed out and put together.

Blackburn Rovers coach Mark Hughes is standing solemnly on the sidelines, his hands behind his back, and his cold eyes are like a general commanding a big battle.

Millwall boss flamboyant...... Ahem......

"What is he doing?"

Zhang Yang appeared in the perspective of the camera, but he was holding his stomach and laughing, and he seemed to be completely unable to help laughing, and his face or demeanor said: He didn't watch the game seriously at all!

"What the hell is this guy thinking!"

"Sky Sports" commentator Belu Elson couldn't help but complain fiercely in his heart, the original grim atmosphere was ruined like this, he planned to use words to describe the solemn atmosphere for the audience, but Millwall's young coach was too uncooperative, "Mark Hughes is serious. ”

Belu Elson could only continue the conversation, "Zhang Yang seems to be relaxed, he is not worried about the game......"

Few people care about Zhang Yang's facial expressions, perhaps because from the beginning of the game, they noticed that Zhang Yang didn't care about the game, when the situation was dangerous in the first half, Zhang Yang was still playing with the tablet, and Millwall was leading by one goal, can they expect him to get serious in the second half?

Everyone doesn't care.

All eyes were still on the game, with Blackburn Rovers taking advantage of the opening onslaught to attack Millwall's half, and they made good progress: in the second attack, Blackburn Rovers played the ball into the box and Bellamy delivered a powerful header.

The header was a big threat, but it eventually flew off the crossbar.

"Millwall escaped!"

Millwall supporters all took a long breath, and it was Millwall's turn to attack, but few people cared, many people still recalled the shot just now, and the commentators and reporters also analyzed the danger of the shot, and finally concluded, "Blackburn's goal is only a matter of time!" ”

By the time the screen cuts back to Millwall, Millwall has already played to the front, and the veteran Rudy Clarke has a high ball, and the ball has crossed more than 20 meters and crashed into the penalty area.

Blackburn, Daldy and David Livermore all rushed into the box to battle for the ball.

This is one of Millwall's main style of play.

Wide crosses, central grabbing, the simplest, direct, and effective way of playing, Millwall relied on such a simple style of play, and also scored a lot of goals.

It's not just a means of scoring, it's also a threat.

When the football flies into the opponent's penalty area in the most direct way, even if the probability of scoring a goal is small, it can directly threaten the opponent's goal, forcing the opponent's defense to retreat to the penalty area, and the players on the perimeter may get opportunities.

Therefore, the application of football tactics is complex and relevant.

Jody Morris was on the perimeter and Joey Healy was further away and was cleared off by opposition defenders as the ball flew into the back of the net.

The football fell straight ahead of Morris.

Morris was much more experienced than Jamie Vardy, and with such a good opportunity in front of him, he didn't hesitate to rush forward and swing his right foot to volley hard.

There are six or seven players in the box and it's hard to shoot from the outside.

Morris' shot was also blocked by the opposition player's body, and the ball hit the butt of one of the opposing defenders directly before ...... Bounced into the goal!?

Morris couldn't believe it, and he stared at the goal for more than a second before he was sure that the ball had indeed scored.

Entered?

The next moment in the audience, the cheers of Millwall fans rang out.

Blackburn fans were dumbfounded.

0 to 2?

Millwall scored another goal? How did you score the goal?

There were so many players in the penalty area that most of them didn't see the way the football flew in, but Morris's shot was obviously not aimed at the right side, but the football flew into the goal from the right side, something must have happened.

Slow-motion playback says it all--

Morris shoots and the ball rushes into the box towards the left post, and when it reaches the line of the small box, the centre-back Mokojna happens to turn around and the ball hits Mokoina's ass and bounces towards the other goal.

The turn shook off Friedel who could have held the goal.

“……”

The Millwall fans were silent for a moment, and then they couldn't hold back their laughter; Blackburn fans don't know whether to cry or laugh, and their own players hit an own goal with their butts?

How do you sound a little ridiculous?

It's sad!

Millwall didn't care so much, they celebrated the goal wantonly, shouting excitedly in the stadium.

Mokoina's face turned a little red, and when he noticed the gaze of his teammates, he couldn't help but shout angrily, "I didn't notice it at all!" ”

"Just bad luck!"

"Sky Sports" commentator Belu Elson also began to popularize common sense among fans, "It is difficult to define whether the goal just now belongs to Morris or Mokoina's own goal. According to the rules of football, there are two situations in which a defender enters the goal after physical contact: if the football goes straight to the goal after the attacking player kicks it, even if a defender touches the football, it should be defined as a goal scored by the shooter; And if the ball shot by the attacking player has deviated from the direction of the goal, then if the defender touches the ball and refracts it into the net, it is defined as an 'own goal'. ”

"From the slow-motion playback, we couldn't make an accurate judgment either. This requires the technical staff to professionally define the picture after the game. ”

With the second goal happening, the reporters in the media box also started to talk about it, and they stopped talking about 'Blackburn has a chance' and other nonsense, but talked about Blackburn's bad luck and Millwall's good fortune --

"This goal should be credited to Mokoina! His ass helped Millwall finish the goal! ”

"Millwall was in good luck! The first goal was a mistake, the second was an own goal! ”

"Maybe it's really God helping?"

"Probably Blackburn was so unlucky!"

“……”

In the discussion of the media reporters, the whole Blackburn team did not feel very well.

They work hard, they work hard!

From the first minute of the game to the present, he has been constantly attacking, but he has not been able to break through the Millwall goal.

What about the other party?

With just a few attacks, he scored two goals by luck.

That's a lot worse, isn't it?

Just ten minutes ago, they were still full of fighting spirit to beat Millwall, and now many players feel that there is no point in working hard, their luck has been so bad that they can't work hard at all.

Their fighting spirit has been seriously frustrated!

Next, Blackburn continued to attack, but the offensive was obviously not as good as just now, while Millwall insisted on playing defensive counterattacks, focusing on defense more than anything else.

In such a difficult confrontation, time slowly wears out.

Half-time sounds like a lot, but watching the game pass quickly, the two sides hit several waves in a row, and the midfield continued to convert the ball, and when the fans realized that the score had not been rewritten for a long time, the game was already in the final time.

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, there was no change in the scoreline as Millwall beat Blackburn Rovers away.

When the result was announced at the end of the game, Belu Elson couldn't help but say a fair word for Blackburn, "Blackburn have been doing well overall, their possession, passes, pass success rate and shots on goal are better than Millwall. ”

"But in the end Millwall won......"

"When I watched this game, I was a little convinced that God was looking after Millwall......

"Otherwise, how can you explain it?"
