Reading wanted to give Wimbledon a little bit of color, and Wimbledon wanted Reading to know they were a madman. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So the two teams didn't go through any tentative stage at all, and directly started the offensive with great fanfare.

"Wimbledon started the game very positively! It's completely different from the previous two semi-finals......"

"Chu seems to have given up on the strategy of defensive counterattack...... It was Reading who played a defensive counterattack...... "Although Russell has returned and participated in the pre-match press conference as the head coach, the commentator still habitually thinks that all this was arranged by Chu Zhongtian.

He was right, this set of tactics was indeed designed by Chu Zhongtian.

The televised shot of Russell in the dugout was significant.

In the picture, Russell looked at the court calmly, in fact, the broadcast wanted to see from Russell's expression that he had been robbed of the power of the head coach and only had any ideas, and the two showed special unity at the press conference, but this is not the case, they still want to observe and observe. It's a pity they didn't see anything.

Wimbledon Athletic, under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian, launched a fierce attack on Reading's goal.

Reading put on a counter-attacking posture to wait for Wimbledon to attack.

It's a scene like Wimbledon vs. Ipswich Town in the semi-finals.

Reading manager Haven is happy and he just wants Wimbledon to pounce on them and then they take advantage of the gaps behind them to counter-attack.

Because this is a single elimination, a final that will determine the outcome of the game, there is no need to consider factors such as "goal difference" and "away goals", there is only one thing to consider, and that is the result.

As long as you can win, whether you win one goal or ten goals, it makes no difference, if you win, you can be promoted, and if you lose, you have to go back to the Championship.

Reading manager Michael Brown. Haven didn't care how the game went, he just had to win.

Kevin. Clarke! He received Chu's pass, but couldn't turn around...... Reading defended very tightly! Sailen. Simmons clung to Clarke, Clarke could only helplessly pass back, and the football returned to Chu's feet......"

Chu Zhongtian had just received the ball, and Reuss, one of Reading's three midfielders. Harrison rushed up and swept the football and Chu Zhongtian's calves with a kick!

Chu Zhongtian almost reflexively pushed the football out and jumped up at the same time. Kankan dodged the other party's fierce sweeping legs.

Next to the Coot. Hammons raised his arms to protest to the referee against his opponent's almost deliberate hurtful behavior.

Chu Zhongtian didn't do this, he stabilized his center of gravity after landing and went to chase the football.

Reading clearly had no intention of letting him go like that, although the first midfielder Reuss. Harrison was dodged by him, but Reading still had two midfielders...... For this game, Harvin sent three midfielders in the starting lineup, obviously to contain Chu Zhongtian. The arrangement of three midfielders also ensures that even if one of the midfielders is sent off, it will not affect the overall defensive quality of the team.

For this reason, he did not have a wide player, although he has a high striker, a center forward with excellent headers, and he seems to be intent on relying on full-backs to assist. In addition, behind the center forward, there is also a free position in the front court, similar to the forward midfielder and shadow striker.

His mission is mainly for high school forward Eddie. Woodgate cooperates, passes the ball to Woodgate, or snatches Woodgate's second-place landing point for the top of the game.

At the back, Haven has five defenders, three of whom are centre-backs, two up front and one in the back as a scavenger, and he will clear up any threat from breaking into the box.

In order to prevent Wimbledon Athletic, or to be more precise in order to limit Chu Zhongtian's play, Michael. Haven has done whatever it takes.

Second midfielder Erik. Buckle quickly rushed up, and this time he came with a very ferocious frontal flying tackle!

Chu Zhongtian only had time to stab the football away, and it was too late to jump up and hide again, so he was directly put to the ground by the other party!

"Foul!" The Wimbledon fans in the stands let out a roar of rage.

The referee's whistle sounded.

The foul Bakker immediately got up from the ground, raised his hands in a gesture of innocence, and at the same time went to pull Chu Zhongtian in a friendly manner and patted him on the head.

Chu Zhongtian did feel pain when he was shoveled, but he didn't show it, and in the face of the other party's overtures, he didn't respond positively, he just pulled him up.

After pulling up Chu Zhongtian, the foul Bakker was still shrugging his shoulders to the referee and walked over to explain: "I really didn't mean to...... He's moving too fast! I did go for the ball...... You see, I didn't have my feet off the ground just now......"

The referee didn't know if he had his own judgment or was influenced by his explanation, and in the end he didn't show him a yellow card, but only a verbal warning. Buckle, of course, was grateful, accepted the warning, and then turned away.

The Wimbledon fans in the stands booed loudly to express their displeasure with the referee's decision.

Even the commentator felt that the decision was debatable: "I thought the referee would give Bakr a yellow card, but it turned out to be nothing, only one verbal warning!" Maybe he thinks giving a yellow card too early will make the game less exciting? But I think that if this kind of aggression against Chu Zhongtian is not curbed, the excitement of this game will be greatly reduced! ”

Chu Zhongtian's midfield partner Coot. Hammons was so upset that he yelled at the referee: "You should really think about this decision!" ”

The referee ignored him, he wanted to continue yelling, but was stopped by Chu Zhongtian.

"Say no more, Kut. They are hoping to provoke us......" Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that the other party was using lethal tactics, and thought that the other party was trying to provoke them and make them lose their cool.

Hammons glared at the foul Buckle viciously, but he listened to Chu Zhongtian's words.

If it had been placed in the past, he might have directly met the referee, and his temper was really much better after being honed by Chu Zhongtian's side this season...... ※※※ When Barker ran back, he headed for his back partner Reuss. Harrison and Edwin. Grayton shrugged and shook his head.

If Chu Zhongtian could be abolished at the beginning, this game would be much easier.

Just like Wimbledon did in the FA Cup final, the opponent's main striker McMahon was shoveled off the field in the first three minutes, which not only caused damage to Liverpool's attacking strength, but also greatly affected the morale of the opponent, and finally Wimbledon defeated the mighty Liverpool in this stadium and lifted the championship trophy.

Reading wants to emulate Wimbledon.

Harrison was more concerned about whether his teammates had really tackled Chu Zhongtian, and he asked, "Are you sure you have tackled?" ”

Buckle nodded affirmatively: "Hit him in the ankle." I can feel ......."

Harrison looked at Chu Zhongtian thoughtfully, trying to see some clues from his walking posture, but unfortunately he was disappointed, Chu Zhongtian looked normal when he walked, without a limp, and there was no painful expression on his face.

In fact, when Baker had just shoveled Chu Zhongtian, he did feel pain, but at this time he didn't feel it anymore.

His opponents didn't know that since Chu Zhongtian was diagnosed by the hospital that there were hidden dangers in his ankles and knees, he would wrap special bandages around his ankles and knees every game to protect these two parts. You can still see the bandages on the knees, and the socks on the ankles are blocked, but you can't see them.

Chu Zhongtian is not really reckless, he doesn't want anything for the sake of football. The necessary protective measures still need to be taken.

These measures have ensured that he has not suffered any serious injuries for so long.

Now it also plays a role in this game.

"It's okay, there's still more time. It's only five minutes ......," said another midfielder, Grayton.

In fact, only two of these three midfielders are the main midfielders, and Grayton is a substitute who does not have many opportunities to play, mainly for the first two teammates as substitutes. The three of them have similar styles, so it's impossible to play at the same time. But this game was different, and Reading's manager Michael Brown. Ha Wen hoped to let the three meat grinders go up to deal with Chu Zhongtian.

Grayton was very excited to start in such an important game, and he was even more eager to try it against a star of Chu Zhongtian's level. It's a pity that Baker stopped Chu Zhongtian just now and asked him to prepare for a game in vain.

But after that, Chu Zhongtian won't be able to run!

※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't know what the three backs on the opposite side were staring at him, he was trying to find a way to break Reading's dense defense and open the situation as soon as possible.

Chu Zhongtian didn't think that Reading would defend and counterattack, but he didn't expect Reading's "defense" to be so thorough, five defenders, three backs, and almost all of these eight people were responsible for defense. There is only Eddie in the frontcourt. Woodgate and Ranson. Tony and two men are involved in the attack. It seems that Reading's attention is to fight back if he can counterattack, and if he can't fight back, he will never take risks, and he would rather hold on to the end of the game and take penalties, Chu Zhongtian's advantage will not be able to play - no matter how powerful he is, he is only one person, and he only has one chance to shoot, even if he goes in and his teammates shoot away, he will not be able to return to the sky.

This kind of defense is enough to be called "dense", and it is really difficult to break such a bucket formation...... Reading clearly put on a defensive counter-attacking posture to avoid conceding a goal and then play Wimbledon on the counter-attack. The key to dealing with this kind of defensive counter-attack is not to defend, but to attack, and if Wimbledon can score as soon as possible, all problems will be solved. Reading, who are behind, must press out and try to score goals so that Wimbledon will give Wimbledon more chances. It's a winner-or-lose game, so winning with fewer losses won't work here, and as long as Reading are behind, the counter-attacking tactic won't work.

There are many ways to break down a dense defence, such as through long-range shots, or set-pieces, and the other is to play wide.

And these methods need someone to implement and plan to launch.

That person was Chu Zhongtian.

As long as Reading can freeze Chu Zhongtian, they can freeze Wimbledon Athletic's attack.

When Chu Zhongtian took the ball again, Harrison pounced again.

Reading's three midfielders received a special advice from manager Harvin before the game: if one of the three of them had just committed a foul in defense and attracted the attention of the referee, then the next time they defended, they should temporarily retreat and let the other two go up to defend, reducing the chance of one person getting a card and reducing the pressure on the defense.

Bakker has just made everyone remember him with a ferocious frontal tackle, although the referee only gave a verbal warning this time, but if he goes up and kicks again now, he will definitely be shown a yellow card, or even a red card, by the referee...... He is now like the player who killed someone in the game and got a red name, and he has to keep a low profile.

It was still Harrison who led the line, and Grayton waited in the back. If Harrison can stop Chu Zhongtian, he doesn't need to play, if Harrison can't, he has to rush up and block Chu Zhongtian.

In fact, Grayton hopes that his teammate Harrison can't do it, so that he can have a chance to appear...... The showdown with Chu Zhongtian has been looking forward to it for a long time. Reading and Wimbledon Athletic have played twice in the league and he has not been given a chance to play, and on one occasion he was not even included in the 16-man squad.

Chu Zhongtian joined Wimbledon Athletic as "the biggest foreign player in the history of the Championship", and his arrival has become the focus of the entire Championship league, and he is also the star of every round of the Championship. He has won three European Championships, three World Footballer of the Year and four European Ballon d'Or winners. Beating a star like this is a huge sense of accomplishment for Grayton.

Let such a star fall under him, in order to show his ability!

Harrison didn't pounce directly on the leg this time, opting for close defense. He's not a fool - it's too easy to be given by the other party by lunging directly, and if he is himself every time, and then throws the fat to his teammates behind him, wouldn't it seem that he is too incompetent?

He stuck to Chu Zhongtian, so that Chu Zhongtian couldn't turn around, and then dropped his black foot from behind - he stepped on the heel of Chu Zhongtian's left foot!

The left foot of the supporting foot was stepped on so violently that Chu Zhongtian suddenly lost his balance, and he was about to fall to the ground!

"It's definitely a foul!" The narrator shouted.

There were also loud boos from the stands.

But at this time, Chu Zhongtian supported his body with his left hand, and quickly got up to block Harrison behind him again!

Harrison didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to be knocked to the ground by him, so he simply kicked Chu Zhongtian's calf again.

The feeling of being kicked in the calf is probably experienced by everyone who kicks the ball. Chu Zhongtian's calf was kicked firmly, but he still didn't fall to the ground.

Judging by his appearance, you can't even feel that he's been kicked in the calf. However, after Harrison kicked it out, he was stunned for a moment when he saw that Chu Zhongtian did not fall to the ground.

Chu Zhongtian felt the pressure from behind him suddenly lightened, and he seized this opportunity to quickly take the football out and get rid of Harrison!

"Harrison couldn't break the ball with two consecutive kicks! Instead, Chu successfully got rid of ...... Oh, be careful! ”

The commentator didn't have time to cheer for Chu Zhongtian, so he exclaimed.

He saw another Reading midfielder, Edwin. Grayton slammed into it!

Chu Zhongtian was hit by Grayton, but he didn't fall, he just stumbled, and took advantage of the impact of the other party's collision to take the football in two directions!

As soon as Grayton saw that he hadn't knocked Chu Zhongtian down, he pounced fiercely, trying to knock Chu Zhongtian to the ground with the ball, and he would definitely not miss this time!

Thinking that he had just been bullied, Chu Zhongtian was like having eyes in the back of his head, and he suddenly pulled the football behind him, and at the same time made a sharp stop and retreat, and the menacing Gray flashed over!

Chu Zhongtian, who got rid of the opponent's two defenders, did not continue to dribble the ball, because the opponent's first defender Harrison had already pounced. He quickly moved the ball to the other side and gave it to Jack, who was picking up on the right flank. Poplar.

Jack. Yang didn't dribble the ball after receiving the ball, but crossed it directly!

Kevin. Clarke leaps high in the box and prepares to head home. However, he did not touch the football, which was lost by Reading's centre-back and captain Celen. Simmons is out!

Reading manager Michael Brown. Haven laughed silently when he saw this scene from the audience.

Want to break through our doors as easily as that? You're underestimating us Reading!

※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't seem to see the failure of this attack, and the next time he got the ball, he still passed the football to the side. This time, he didn't stop the ball to give the opponent's defender Grayton a chance to pounce, but directly passed the ball without stopping.

Grayton pounced again.

There was a burst of laughter from the stands, which were given to him.

Grayton waved his hand in annoyance, then ran quickly to join the defense.

Chu Zhongtian's offensive this time was still a cross from the side, and Edu, who received the ball. Seychelles takes the ball from the left wing. Kevin. Clark kind of hit the ball this time, but in Sailen. Simmons interfered with him, and instead of being able to push the ball towards the goal, he pushed it into the box. After causing chaos in the penalty area, the football was kicked out by a man.

"It was a good minute into the game, Wimbledon was almost attacking in the half of Reading, but they couldn't score, the score was still 0-0! Reading's defense is very tight, Wimbledon try to find opportunities from the wing, but unfortunately the ball is no longer dangerous after the ball is passed to the middle, Reading pays great attention to the high ball! ”

"Michael. Haven is quite conservative against Wimbledon, we've never seen Reading like this, and for the sake of promotion, Haven doesn't care if it's good or not......"

"Wimbledon besiege each other while also paying attention to their counter-attacking ......"

"It's a familiar scene that reminds me of the semi-finals between Wimbledon and Ipswich Town, where they defeated their opponents on the counter-attack to reach the final in both legs. In those two games, Wimbledon Athletic's defensive counter-attacks left Ipswich almost unsolvable. Now that they've run into Reading, who are also good at counter-attacking, what are they going to do? ”
