Chapter 109: From Today Onwards, Be a Crazy Helper!
James. Merry stood in the stands, fists clenched, gritted teeth and stared at what was happening on the pitch. But he wasn't aware of it himself β he was fully committed to the game.
He has never been a Wimbledon fan, although he is a Wimbledon native, he supports Arsenal, when he was very young, he went to the stadium for the first time, was taken by his father to Highbury to watch an Arsenal game, and since then he has become an Arsenal fan, no matter whether Arsenal plays good or not, he has never given up his love for Arsenal. Now the father who took him to Highbury to watch the game has long since passed away, and he inherited his father's love for Arsenal, he has two daughters, the eldest daughter has successfully liked Arsenal, and he wants to train the second daughter to be an Arsenal fan.
But now he was hesitant.
He feels that the team in front of him is also worth liking because they are close to him...... They are an amateur team made up entirely of fans, so they don't play to make money, but to love football. Such a team needs his support more than Arsenal.
β»β»β»When the time for the game became less and less, Mortensen also became excited.
"With less than 15 minutes to go until the end of the 90 minutes, Wimbledon is leading now! An amateur team from the ninth division! Viewers, you're watching the 2003-04 FA Cup third round of the game, and it's a high-profile match, not because it's a big game, but because it's a clash between professional and amateur teams! The FA Cup is an upset tournament that encourages upsets, and in 15 minutes, we may be witnessing another upset! β
Mortenson's emotional tendencies were already evident, and as an experienced commentator, it was impossible for him not to know that football was a sport that could not be easily concluded until the last second, but he still pronounced the death sentence for a professional team fifteen minutes early.
Pierce listened with a smile on his face. He chatted with Mortensen at half-time and already knew that Mortensen didn't like the home team. Because the team abandoned the fans who supported them just to increase ticket revenue, or the white spot was just for the plot of land next to the IKEA furniture store and the ASDA supermarket. Mortensen is a footballer and he will not tolerate such a betrayal. Now he's going to take revenge.
β»β»β» Winckelmann sat on the podium and watched the game going on off the court. At half-time he finally resisted kicking the locker room door, but now he regrets not doing so. The performance of these bunnies is simply terrible!
They really can't even handle an amateur team!
As soon as he remembered that he had sworn before the game that amateur teams could not pose a threat to his team, Winckelmann now wanted to curse.
Bastard boys! You've disgraced me and thrown me all over England!
And that Leo Cook! I don't care if you're the fucking captain or not, as long as there's a suitable offer after this season, you can fuck me off!
β»β»β» Emily is singing a song cheering for Wimbledon along with the other fans, which used to be cheering for that professional team, but now the lyrics have been changed to sing to the amateur team Wimbledon.
ββ¦β¦ We're the real madmen! Go ahead, Wimbledon Athletic!! β
Even Yang Yang couldn't help but roar along with this group of fans, although there were many places where he didn't know what he was singing at all, just opened his mouth and roared.
That's one of the charms of football: let your emotions out!
There were only five minutes left until the end of the game.
β»β»β» Chu Zhongtian had just completed a defense, and now it was their turn to attack, and he didn't rush up to join in the fun, because his midfield partner Li Zhongtian had just finished a defense. Sidwell went up and he had to stay and defend.
Their own offense is quite like that, and it's really rewarding to see how the pros are being beaten by them!
Bolger's cross was touched by the opposing full-back, a corner.
Chu Zhongtian planned to continue to stay in the backfield to defend, but he heard head coach Eames shouting his name from the field: "Go up and attack!" Clear! Go up and fight for the header! β
Since the team entered the FA Cup, Chu Zhongtian was assigned to the attacking group during the corner kick training, but in the actual game, he didn't go up to compete for the top every time, and he didn't score a goal with a corner kick.
Chu Zhongtian pointed at himself.
Eames nodded.
So Chu Zhongtian ran up, and when Sidwell saw him coming up, he consciously ran back to defend.
When the two passed by, Sidwell high-fived him: "Enter one of them!" β
β»β»β» Emily saw Chu Zhongtian running to the opponent's penalty area in the stands, and she became excited: "Chu has gone up!" Looks like he's going to take this corner! Maybe there will be a chance to score!! β
No wonder she was so excited, Chu Zhongtian had already scored a goal for Wimbledon Athletic in an official match, but when she scored, Emily herself was not there. This became a regret in Emily's heart. If Chu Zhongtian can score a goal in this game, he will be on the scene and will be able to witness this exciting scene with his own eyes. Regrets will also be made up.
"That's right! Chu's header is very powerful! Philip said, patting his thigh.
"Let's cheer him on!" Colin. John, as the leader of this group of fans, took the lead in shouting: "Chu! Enter one! Clear! Enter one! β
The others shouted after him, their voices getting louder and louder, and other fans joined in - they thought it was a new round of cheering. In the end, when Chu Zhongtian stood in front of the opponent's door, half of the stadium was chanting his name and asking him to enter a ...... Borger looked back at the stand, then laughed. Now, that kid is famous, he must be famous, this is a national live broadcast!
Joe. Xi Lin gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up, leaned in and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll cover for you!" β
Borger withdrew his gaze, raised his right hand, and then extended his index finger. This is the gesture code that uses the first set of corner kick tactics, and Chu Zhongtian turned around and withdrew from the penalty area after seeing it, standing outside the big penalty area and waiting.
If all goes well, the ball will be kicked forward by Bolger, who will thrust into the box at the same time as he gets up, sprint, and then leap high for the header. Schilling, on the other hand, will attract opposing defenders for him, and it is up to him whether he can get the ball or not.
This was the team's first corner, which had been used a few times in previous matches, but Bolger's landing was always headed out by the opposing defenders.
I don't know what the outcome will be this time.
"Wimbledon won a corner kick and the game went into the 82nd minute, will this be an opportunity for Wimbledon to extend the score, or will Wimbledon catch it and fight back?" β
β»β»β» "Attention, we are going to fight back!" Leggat Wood, who took over as captain of the team, shouted, "Get their ball out and watch out for a quick counter-attack!" 'He's right in his judgment that every corner can be the start of a counter-attack, and as the game draws to a close, it becomes even more important to have such counter-attacking opportunities.
After shouting, he took a special look at Wimbledon Athletic's No. 8 player who was cruising outside, and there was a band-aid in the corner of his right eye, which was very eye-catching. He already knew in previous games that the man was excellent with his header and bounce, and he had a couple of crosses that he had broken when his team attacked. So now he is standing outside the penalty area to do what the purpose is coming out - he is going to fight for this header, such a long distance for him to sprint, once he hits the football, that speed is not to be underestimated, as long as it can be pushed within the goal frame, the possibility of scoring is very high!
So he paid special attention to the number 8, and he had already made up his mind that if the corner kick came out and the opponent rushed in, he would defend him. For this reason, he handed over the opponent's two central defenders to his teammates, and stared at Chu Zhongtian.
Borger stepped back to make room for himself to run, then put his hands down as he was about to tee off.
Chu Zhongtian glanced at Borger, then set his eyes on the forbidden area, and it was easy for him to find a way forward from the crowd, and at the same time, his intuition also made him aware of a pair of eyes that were staring at him.
Following the pair of eyes, he found the owner of the gaze - Wimbledon Acting Captain Leggerwood with the captain's armband.
A tall black guard was demonstrating to him with his eyes.
Chu Zhongtian read the meaning in his eyes, because he often did this - this is my territory, you better not mess around!
Chu Zhongtian smiled at him: I'm going to mess around, you have the ability to stop me!
With a muffled bang, Bolger kicked the football out, and the two people who looked at each other withdrew their gazes at the same time, Chu Zhongtian watched the football rush into the penalty area, and Leggettwood lined up the people in front of him and ran towards the intersection of Chu Zhongtian and the football.
Englishman Mikel. Leggettwood, 1.88 meters tall.
Chu Zhongtian, a Chinese, is one meter and eighty meters tall.
This is the first time the two of them have met in the competition, and will the difference of eight centimeters determine the outcome of this encounter?
Chu Zhongtian looked up at the football from beginning to end, and there was a person in the corner of his eyes who had been killed, and he didn't need to look to know who it was. He estimated the distance between himself and the football, and where the football landed, and jumped up in the next step, flying towards the football! He was going to use his head to hit the ball, and the place where he touched the ball would be the side of his forehead where the band-aid was applied, completely forgetting the Wimbledon doctor's reminder.
At the same time as Chu Zhongtian jumped, Legitwood also jumped, and his goal was also football.
But when the football flew over, the two men also met in the air. Chu Zhongtian, who is eight centimeters shorter than Legtwood, is not at a disadvantage at all, and his bouncing kung fu is amazing.
Leggettwood only needs to push the football out directly, and Chu Zhongtian has to shake his head if he wants to push the football into the goal, which makes it difficult for him.
Who wins?
In the next second, the two of them bumped into each other solidly!
As if stirring up a thousand lights, their collision made those viewers can't help but close their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw the football crashing into the net and being swept up in the net...... The football was in the door, and the two of them were still in the air, maintaining the posture at the moment of collision - Chu Zhongtian leaned forward, shook his head and twisted his waist, and lost his center of gravity. Leggettwood put one hand on Chu Zhongtian's shoulder, the other hand raised high, trying to maintain his balance in the air, his head poked forward and made a motion to top the ball, if he had eyes in the back of his head, he would definitely be able to see the ball he was about to top in the goal behind him...... It's a beautiful portrait of a sport, with the flashlights of more than a dozen photojournalists coming and going behind the goal. It's like a straightened pearl necklace!
β»β»β»"The ball went inββ!! Morteson screamed. 2οΌ0οΌ 2οΌ0οΌοΌ β
As soon as Legtelwood's hand was Chu Zhongtian's shoulder, he fell headlong, fortunately, his balance was not weak, and he constantly adjusted his center of gravity in the air, and when he landed, he was just a little embarrassed, and he didn't use his hands and feet to directly gnaw on. He didn't care about his opponent's little move, because his heart was as sweet as drinking honey now!
After he flicked the ball over his head, he saw the ball fly into the goal between the post and the crossbar!
The ball is in!!
It's not the first time he's scored, but it's the first time he's scored in the FA Cup!
"Chu is the first Chinese player to score in the 132-year history of the FA Cup, a student from China! An amateur player! At times like these, Mortenson's erudition played a key role, and he barely thought about it before he reported the historical significance of the ball.
Exactly right, Chu Zhongtian is the first Chinese to score in the FA Cup, the world's oldest regular cup competition!
β»β»β»Yang Yang's eyes widened before he saw the information from the opposite court - his roommate, his fellow countryman, and his classmate Chu Zhongtian had scored!
Then he was slammed into his arms, with two soft masses on his chest...... Emily's scream rang in his ears: "Amazing! That's great! That's great! "It almost burst his eardrums.
It's not just Emily, everyone around him is crazy.
Colin. Boss John and Old Bent hugged each other, laughing so hard that tears burst out of their eyes. Charles. Philip and Joseph. Kenny was almost on his knees, and who of the others wasn't cheering with their arms raised?
The whole grandstand ...... Not the whole national hockey stadium is shaking!
Because they are two goals ahead!
An amateur team from the ninth tier leads a League One team by two goals!
"This game is destined to be the biggest upset of this FA Cup competition! No, it could be the biggest upset in the FA Cup this season! Mortenson yelled hysterically. I couldn't believe my eyes, Wimbledon Athletic actually led Wimbledon by two goals! Know that this team is nothing more than the latter's fans, many of whom have even been supporters of the home team! It was only because Winckelmann moved the team to Milton Keynes that angry Wimbledon fans formed the team...... Now, I think Mr. Winckelmann must have felt the anger from the fans! β
He even said this in his heart: including mine, bastard!
β»β»β» Chu Zhongtian used both hands and feet to prevent himself from falling directly to the ground, he quickly got up from the ground, and then turned around and ran to the opposite stand. The hardcore Madgel fans are there, including Emily and Boss John.
When he first scored, his mind went blank, and now that he reacted, the first words that rang in his ears were Emily's: "I'm thinking...... How do people like you celebrate when they score a goal......"
With these words, Emily's smile came to mind.
Emily let go of Yang Yang, who was already red-faced, and didn't care at all that she had caused a lot of trouble to the other party by doing this, she turned her head and saw Chu Zhongtian running towards the stands where she was, and hurriedly raised the sign that had been used for more than a season-"Chu, come on!" β
She was reminding Chu Zhongtian that she was here.
Chu Zhongtian ran fast, and when he rushed to the stands to put down, his teammates hadn't followed, but it was goalkeeper Andy. Bell got the moon first, and he threw down the goal and pounced on Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian pointed to Emily in the stands and the fans around her, and then clenched his fists and pounded his heart. Then he grabbed his jersey and kissed it on the badge. It's the first team he's played for, and he's completely in love with the team and the fans here, and it's not pretentious to give him a kiss for it.
His move made the Wimbledon fans in the stands extremely excited, and they chanted Chu Zhongtian's name one after another, echoing Chu Zhongtian's loyalty.
When he looked up again, he was surrounded by a crowd of teammates who joined him in waving their fists and shouting at the fans in the stands, and interacting passionately with the fans in the stands.
Behind them, in the distant half, the Wimbledon pros stood in place, a little unrealised β and we conceded again? We were beaten twice by an amateur team? My God! It must be a dream! It's a nightmare...... Damn it! Why are those cheers so real? It's ironic that the cheers for the visitors to score on our own home turf are louder than the home fans...... Has the world changed, and why are we being beaten by two goals by an amateur team?
"I guess it's going to be five minutes of stoppage time because Chu is injured and now it's seven minutes to stoppage time...... Can Wimbledon pull two goals in the space of 12 minutes and pull off a miracle? "Isn't it surprising and uncomfortable to hear me say that?" Facing an amateur team, ask if a professional team can do wonders...... In the past, such lines were prepared for the weak side. Now it's completely reversed! β
Mortensen is indeed such a love-hate commentator, he often brings his emotions into the commentary of football matches, and has even been blamed by the English FA for scolding England internationals for underperforming while commenting on England games.
He believes that if there is no passion in football commentary, then the commentator should die.
He now can't wait to chant "Long live the fans" after the game.
β»β»β» James. Merry jumped up from the stands when he saw the Chinese boy he knew him smash the ball headlong into the goal.
He only behaves like that when he watches Arsenal plays, and that's because Arsenal scored.
But today, when he saw an amateur team lead the first division team by two goals, those high-spirited amateur players gave him this impulse:
From today, be a fan of the Crazy Gang!
