Chapter 56: Prostration

Millwall's youngster Curtis Weston is on the scene.

Weston was still a little nervous when he walked on the pitch, having made too few appearances for the first team and had little experience at all.

Millwall fans, however, Weston showed their support.

There was a sparse round of applause from the audience, which was a sign of support for the new players in the team, Weston said that he was very good in the Millwall youth team, and there are still many fans who know him.

Stadium radio Mike Johnson introduced, "The number 14 youngster who has just come on is an attacking striker produced by Millwall's youth team, the data shows that he has just turned 18, this youngster can play as an attacking forward, or as a wing-back or forward, he plays in place of Braniff, and should also be at the forefront of the team." ”

"Zhang Yang chose to let Weston play, probably because he wanted to use the time to train the newcomers......"

A lot of people think the same way.

When it comes to the final stage of the competition, an 18-year-old young player who is not well-known is usually a training newcomer.

In the past period, Millwall's defense has not had any problems, since the defense is solid and victory is guaranteed, then replacing a newcomer is completely in the past.

After a brief introduction, few people cared anymore.

The same goes for Wise.

Although he felt that the replacement of Weston was redundant, Braniff actually did not play a role on the field, and now Millwall's main job is to guard the goal, and it does not make much difference who the specific striker is.

Then the game continued.

Brighton were still squeezing for the final goal and the camera camera pointed to the Millwall half for most of the time.

Millwall have been on the defensive.

It's not that they can't attack, and when a solid defense can win, there is no need to attack and give the opponent a chance.

This is the most calm way to play.

After Brighton's attacking wave, the clock was in sight in the 89th minute, when the ball was passed to the edge of the box.

Millwall defended tightly down the middle, with Wise scrambling to head the ball to Darren Ward, who drove the ball forward with a big kick.

It's a big foot clearance.

Darren Ward didn't look for direction at all, just kicked the ball out hard, and the ball was definitely kicked as far away as possible, preferably past the opponent's baseline, so that it could buy the team a lot of time.

However, Darren Ward's shot only lasted past half the pitch and the ball fell to the left of the 10 metres before the halfway line.

Neither Brighton nor Millwall cared about the players, and they had the impression that Millwall had been defending for the rest of the day, with the front court almost empty.

Braniff, the only striker in the past, was replaced, and the young player who came out of the pitch has yet to touch the ball.

But when the Bratton players looked in the direction of the football, they suddenly became nervous.

The young player is chasing the ball, and depending on the situation, he is about to catch up!

In order to be able to score in the last time, Bratton's formation was very forward, the defenders were standing in front of the halfway, and one of the central defenders also ran to the front of the penalty area, when they saw Ward's big foot clearing, they had no idea of chasing the ball at all, and when they found that Weston chased the ball, they found that it was too late to defend.

One of the defenders immediately raised his hand and signaled to the referee that Weston was offside.

The referee turned a blind eye.

The referee didn't notice if Weston was offside, but the linesman didn't raise the flag, which must mean that there was no offside.

Suddenly Weston became the only protagonist!

All cameras were pointed at him.

Weston didn't know that he had become the protagonist, since he appeared, he just followed Zhang Yang's instructions, has been standing in the front left area, and pay attention not to offside, when he saw the football flying over, he suddenly looked back, while paying attention to the landing point, while rushing forward, in the left corner of the penalty area, Weston chased the ball, and when he controlled the ball left and right, his mind was a little stunned.

There was no one around him to defend him!

It was then that Weston realised that he had a brilliant opportunity, and he resisted his excitement and dribbled into the box and towards the goal.

Brighton goalkeeper Miguel strikes!

Miguel is a 1.9 meter tall, unusually strong, bearded Nordic man with average goalkeeping skills, but his looks may be able to intimidate some opponents, so he became Brighton's No. 1 goalkeeper.

Miguel is good at using his looks to his advantage, and when he sees the opposing youngster controlling the ball, Miguel is already aware of the threat and he strikes at the first opportunity.

As he ran, Miguel was still yelling ahead.

That's a little scary.

However, Weston was holding the ball with his head down, and the corner of his eye was only looking at the goal, not noticing Miguel's expression.

The two are getting closer!

Weston was a bit nervous at the point, he had never scored for Millwall before, so it was a great opportunity and it was hard for him to be calm.

Finally, the distance between the two approached two meters.

This is the best opportunity to get started.

If you get closer, the angle will basically be blocked by the goalkeeper, and it is not easy to complete the goal, not to mention, Weston still carries the ball from the left, and the angle is even smaller.

Weston is ready to get his feet up, too!

At this moment, he had been sitting in the coach's seat paying attention to the flamboyance of the game, and made a tone that seemed to penetrate people's hearts, "Mistake." ”

The voice instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and was reflected on Miguel.

The Nordic man was roaring angrily, and a loud voice came out of his mouth, "Ah!! ”

The next moment, he only felt a stumble under his feet, and he suddenly couldn't keep his center of gravity balanced, and directly lay on the ground in a dog-gnawing posture.

Weston just swung his right foot!

What happened in this moment made his brain a little unable to react, but then he did not shoot directly, but turned the ball to the right side, easily bypassed Miguel lying on the ground, and pushed the ball into the goal.

Seeing the football roll into the goal, Weston was a little dazed.

It's too easy to score!

————

When the whistle blew for the end of the game, Neal Stadium still couldn't calm down.

There was only one topic of conversation among the fans: "Brighton goalkeeper, the famous villain Miguel in the Championship, bowed to Millwall Weston in front of tens of thousands of people and watched the opponent send the ball into his own goal." ”

The news is getting around fast!

Major media reported it as football entertainment news, and for a while, Curtis Weston became a popular figure among fans, and everyone wanted to see what the young player who could make Miguel worship look like.

Miguel left the pitch almost with his head in his hands, he was so ashamed.

Weston was a little unclear and became the object of heated discussion in the whole team--

"Curtis, you're so great! See? Miguel offers to kneel for you! ”

"I saw it with my own eyes! Miguel is all terrified of you! ”

"How dare he stop your shot? He didn't dare! ”

"In the future, against Brighton, you have to start, so that Brighton's goal is not defended!"

“……”

Weston was in no mood to celebrate his first Championship goal.
