Chapter Seventy-Eight: Pure Desire to Win
With just six minutes left before the break, the Franconians called a timeout, and Peter gave his final instructions to all the Franconian players with a serious face.
Despite the unwillingness on the faces of all four male players except for Nigels, they chose to trust Peter's judgment.
Peter looked at Negles and confirmed his condition: "You can hold on, right?" ”
Nigelus still looked weak, waved his hand at Peter and said, "Enough to hold out until the game is over......"
Peter nodded, and then said to the crowd: "We must admit that the Phil team is strong, and this has been confirmed. ”
"On the other side, that captain is too perverted, otherwise what would they compare with us?" The Franconian player wearing the number four jersey said in a muffled voice.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Peter's eyes, Kenneth's existence was beyond his control, and in the face of that unexpected power, even Peter, who had always been calm, had the urge to jump and score with a shot from the backfield, is this something that ordinary people can do?!
Peter clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said in a deep voice: "We have been able to get this far, relying on the strength of all of us, and the other party is the same, there is nothing to say. For the next eight minutes, we have to hold on to this point and win the game, everyone, please! ”
"Don't worry, Captain, we'll be able to do it!" The center number six, an inch-haired teenager with a double chin, shouted to Peter.
"That's right, we're going to win!" Fifth striker Bob nodded sharply.
The goalkeeper, who was pale with frightening from Kenneth's shot, nodded hesitantly.
Fifty-two minutes have passed since the game has passed, and the two female defenders are almost unable to support it, although the amount of exercise between the two of them is not too large, but they have used at least eight or nine first-order magic in a game, and their mental power is about to be exhausted, Peter looked at the two women who were still gritting their teeth and nodding, and curled the corners of his mouth and praised: "Gilly, Nancy, your performance is very good, and so are the others." It's just a sports day, but I want to take our team two steps further, so in the last eight minutes, even if it's not glorious, we have to win! ”
"Good!" Everyone responded in unison.
The atmosphere became solemn unconsciously.
Then Peter heard Negles chin propped up and said, "Ah, more than that...... It's so troublesome......"
The atmosphere was immediately ruined, and everyone despised Negles with words and eyes, and Negles only nodded yes, and then yawned profusely.
But it invisibly eased everyone's tension.
Peter glanced at Negles and snorted softly.
——————
At the end of the timeout, the two teams returned to the pitch, and the atmosphere of the two teams had been reversed, and although the Phil team was still one point behind, everyone was much more relaxed. In contrast, it was the Franken players who were in the ascendancy with a solemn look on their faces.
Since it was the Phil team who scored, the ball was transferred to the Franconian team and Peter served. The Franconian team adjusted again, and Nigels returned to the middle of the hexagon and swapped places with Bob.
And the Phil team is still in that strange formation, with five people in the front, Kenneth in the middle, and Kevin temporarily guarding the goal.
As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Peter immediately passed the ball to Negles, and it looked exactly the same as before, but just when everyone in the Phil team thought so, the Franconian team members did not run forward, but played a game of passing with each other.
Originally, Mick thought that the Franconian team had some special tactics, so Kenneth was not allowed to act rashly, but after a minute passed, the Franconian team still did not take any other action, just kept passing the ball to Nigles, who passed the ball to others, and then passed it back, and so on for a minute.
The audience unanimously booed.
"Mick, what are they...... Delaying time? Brandon looked at it for a long time and asked.
Since even Brandon could see it, Mick naturally didn't know it, and his face suddenly became ugly. Although this is indeed dishonorable, it hits the soft underbelly of the Phil team.
The Franconian team's defense was perfect, and as soon as they stepped into it, they would be attacked by at least three people with control magic, including the magic of Negles, and even Kenneth couldn't get out of it, so how could the others be spared? And now the only one in the Phil team on the field who can use the second-order purification technique is Mick, and once the others are controlled by Negles's freezing technique, Mick will also be overwhelmed and difficult to rescue.
But with a point still a point behind, the Phil team could never watch Franconian run out of time, so they were left with only one option, and that was to rush in and grab the ball.
As long as they have the ball and Kenneth is there, they will be able to score.
The question is, how do they snatch the ball in the face of Franken's impregnable defence?
Just as Mick was frustrated, Kevin ran up to Kenneth, who then saw Kenneth raise his hand to signal to the referee, using the one-timeout for the first timeout.
Seeing this, the referee immediately blew the whistle and announced the suspension of the game.
There were four minutes and thirty-six seconds left until the end of the race.
——————
As the Phil players walked into the lounge, Brandon immediately complained, "Those guys are too bad, what's the point of winning the game like this?" ”
"What else does it mean to win? And this is not against the rules of the game either, what is there to complain about? A sucker. Auston scoffed Brandon.
"What did you say?!" Brandon's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this.
"Alright, you two don't make a fuss! Kevin, what do you want to say? But Kenneth interrupted the two of them in time to ignite the beacon fire, looked at Kevin and asked.
Kenneth's words immediately diverted Brandon's attention, and he also looked at Kevin with curiosity, since it was Kevin who asked Kenneth to use the timeout, he must have thought of some countermeasure.
The others looked at Kevin with just as much curiosity.
So Kevin raised his wand and wrote, "The mental power on the other side is almost overwhelmed." ”
Everyone was stunned.
Kevin continued: "The weakness of the opposing side lies in the two female defenders. Three, nine times. Nine, eight times. ”
Because of Lisa, Mona, who has a strong understanding ability, immediately reacted: "Kevin, you mean, the two guards on the opposite side are about to be unable to hold on?" Three used nine first-order magic, and Nine used eight first-order magic? Wow, you're counting them all? ”
Kevin's face was calm and he nodded to Mona.
"That is," Alston said with a frown, "We're going to attack while the opponent passes the ball to those two defenders?" ”
Mick habitually rubbed his index finger against his lower lip and hesitated, "Does that mean we have to make some sacrifices?" ”
Kevin nodded again.
The rest of the Phil team was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jasmine, who was bandaged on her right shoulder, and their eyes showed a determined look.
So the final tactics of the Phil team were determined.
At the end of the tentative time, the two teams walked into the field again, with the Franconians still holding the ball.
As the referee's whistle blew, the Franconians continued to hold on to their delaying tactics amid the thunderous boos of the crowd.
With the exception of Nigelus and Peter, the Franconian players all had a look of wavering on their faces, but immediately suppressed them and continued to carry out Peter's tactics.
Even if it's not glorious, they want to win in the end.
This is a desire for glory without a trace of impurities.
They were, and so did Team Phil.
Then they saw the six of Fer's team rushing towards their field from both sides, still the same as before, except that they did not gain possession.
There was only one minute and fifty-two seconds left.
Mick's wand was raised, and the same burst of green light appeared on Mick, Brandon, and Lisa one after another, rushing across the halfline from the left side. While Alston, Kevin and Mona sprinted across the halfway line from the right.
Peter saw that Kenneth had no intention of acting, so he just asked everyone to stay still and continue to pass the ball to consume time.
Nigles saw Mick and Auston and others eyeing them on the wings, but they just didn't rush in to grab the ball, so he subconsciously thought that they were trying to attack the forwards or central defenders while he passed the ball. So, he passed the ball to the number three female defender standing on the left side of the court in the backfield.
At this time, the distance between Negles and the female defender was about seven meters, and Kenneth was seventy meters away from Nigles.
But Kenneth didn't move, but Mick they did.
I saw that Brandon and Lisa were entangled with Bob and No. 4 center, Kevin and Mona were entangled with Peter and No. 6 center, and Mick and Alston rushed to the two female defenders with all their strength.
Unlike Team Franconia, where all members of the team have mastered control magic, only Mick can use control magic in Team Fir, and even Auston has not learned any other magic.
In Peter's eyes, the Phil attack was no different from the Firefighting Moths.
Blue lights flashed on the field, and Brandon, Lisa, Kevin, and Mona were hit by the freezing technique one after another, but fortunately, several people had learned the first-order purification technique, and immediately lifted the negative effects on their bodies, and were able to continue to block the movements of the Franconian players with their bodies.
And the No. 3 female defender saw Mick rushing towards her with a terrifying momentum, and immediately panicked, and without thinking about it, she cast a freezing spell on Mick, and then her brain was numb, and Mick in her eyes also appeared multiple phantoms, and her body shook almost unsupported.
Seeing this, Mick flashed a flash of joy, and after using the first-order purification technique to remove the freezing effect on his body, he wanted to grab the soccer ball in front of the third foot.
Another female defender wanted to help, but was stopped by Alston as well.
It was an almost brutal, unspective tactic, and the audience booed the audience to include Team Phil.
At this critical juncture, Negles's eyes were no longer lifeless as before, he made a decisive move, the space ring on his hand flashed, and a two-meter-long staff immediately appeared in his hand, supported by a ginkgo tree trunk, and the top was inlaid with a blue orb that was polished to near perfection.
Immediately after, a third-order magic array with a diameter of sixty centimeters appeared in the air, and the water elementals, which were even more massive than before, converged like a whirlpool, turning into a majestic cold aura that quickly spread out to all sides, hitting all the players standing on the field of the Franconian team with lightning speed.
This is the ninth Ice Ring spell cast by Negles, and with the bonus of the staff, it can freeze everyone for up to ten seconds.
Even Mick was not spared, his body stiffened and could not move.
What can you do in ten seconds?
Nigles gave his answer.
I saw that he cast the freezing spell again without mercy, because of the bonus of the staff, the casting range expanded, and immediately froze Mick into an ice sculpture.
Then there are Auston, Brandon, Kevin, Mona, Lisa.
There are six more ice sculptures on the Franconian field.
At this time, Negles realized his heart and hurriedly looked at Kenneth.
The captain of the number ten, who was supposed to be standing in the midfield of the Phil team.
But he's gone.
Seventy meters away, Kenneth took only four seconds, and as Negles turned to control Mick, he ducked behind him and watched him turn all his teammates into ice sculptures.
"It's so hard for you." Kenneth gritted his teeth and said behind Negles.
Nigles' eyes widened slowly, but when he turned, Kenneth was already standing in front of the football, as if he was waiting there on purpose for him to witness, and then scored with a relentless volley.
And the goalkeeper has just been freed from the freeze.
"Beep——!" Negles gritted his teeth slightly and listened to the shrill whistle, as if mocking himself.
Fifteen seconds before the end of the game, the Phil team finally managed to score and equalize the score.
The crowd, who had been booing before, fell completely silent in front of the ball, and then let out a cheer that was a hundred times more enthusiastic than the boo.
Kenneth, who was standing in front of the goal, didn't say anything, just smiled toothily at his teammates who had been turned into ice sculptures and Jasmine, who was tied in bandages on the sidelines, raised his right hand high, and clenched it into a fist.
Everyone in the Phil team smiled knowingly, this was their captain, a captain who had never let them down.
All of them silently recited in their hearts:
Fer, victory.
