Chapter 44: Capital Punishment
No one can win all the time, no matter what kind of team it is, there will be defeats.
Chen Yier performed very well, but Connolly could not support Chen's thoughts, Connolly was once again put to the ground, and Stoke City was able to start their attack.
Now that Stoke City have snatched the ball from Connolly's feet, they will try an attack.
Stoke City's unsung striker entered Sunderland's half from the right side of the pitch with a football in his hand, and Sunderland's veteran Dwiyokett met him.
The Stoke City striker didn't make a personal break, but instead turned around and leaned on Dwaiyoket to push diagonally into Sunderland's heartland.
After the previous battle, Stoke City already have a general understanding of Sunderland's defensive system, and they know that this time must not be delayed, because Sunderland's players will be surrounded in all directions.
He looked left and right and saw that a teammate was in front of him on the left, so he poked the tip of his left foot and the football rolled towards his teammate.
However, at this time, Chen Yier noticed this vacancy, and he hurriedly stepped forward and made a beautiful steal to break the ball.
Roy Keane glanced at Chen Yier with considerable appreciation, Chen Yier's performance is getting better and better now, and he can always be where he is needed, or where it matters.
However, the next scene was missing and Roy Keane was a little dumbfounded.
The football that Chen Yier poked out was not picked up by Wallace, who was entangled by the players of Stoke City, and started half a beat slowly, but the football was taken by the opposing player first.
As soon as Sunderland broke the ball, Stoke City broke the ball again, and after getting the football, he grabbed the interception of Dwiyotek and bowed with his right foot!
The ball passed through the right-hand side of Dwijörk's body, through the gap between Sunderland's two defenders, and suddenly appeared on the left edge of the penalty area.
Chen Yier's eyes froze, and he noticed that someone in Stoke City happened to be in that very dangerous position, but he was too far away, it was a scalpel-like precision through ball.
Stoke City's striker managed to counter offside and came to the left rear of the ball.
Tap your left foot on the soccer ball, then run two steps and kick it directly to the back of the ball.
Stoke City had a shot on goal that looked like a training match without anyone interfering!
The power of the shot was so great that the ball appeared like a bolt of lightning in the bottom left corner of the goal.
Alnick tried to make a save, but by the time he saw it, it had rolled into the net.
The ball is in! Sunderland fell behind and Stoke City took a 1-0 lead.
Halfway through the first half, Stoke City broke the ball in front of the field and broke the door for Sunderland with an anti-offside attack! 1-0 lead!
Chen Yier looked at this goal in a daze, all this was a little too sudden, he didn't think that his pass would be broken, nor did he think that just because of this broken ball, the opponent could pass such a beautiful through ball, all of which made him a little unbelievable.
He seems to trust his teammates too much? With less than 170, Wallace will have a hard time taking advantage of the tall Stoke City player, and unilaterally believing that he will be able to arrive in time does not seem to be the right thing to do.
Stoke City are back in position after a wild celebration, and Sunderland are still looking to make it eight wins in a row on their turf? What do you think?
At this time, the Sunderland fans in the stands were not disappointed by this goal, the team had given them too many reasons to believe, and they shouted loudly, which touched Eva a little.
In the 29th minute of the game, Sunderland's attack still did not improve at all, because the front court suffered too much physically, and Roy Keane did not expect the opponent to be so tough, and began to plan to make substitutions.
However, it was at this time that something unexpected happened to Roy Keane.
It was purely an accident. Chen Yier began to actively press in the front court, his speed and physique can be said to be good, especially the physical reserves are also sufficient.
When a Stoke player has the ball, he is the first line of defence, and Stoke City simply cannot form an effective breakthrough in such a situation.
In another scramble, the Stoke players had no choice but to kick the ball forward very casually.
He was lucky that the football was actually won by his team-mates.
Stoke City's striker was still dangling in front of him, but he didn't expect a football to fall from the sky and fall at his feet in an instant.
Surprised, he quickly took control of the ball, then quickly turned around and advanced towards the middle of the penalty area.
The lucky Stoke striker was immediately targeted by Sunderland's players as soon as he entered the box, and after conceding a goal, Sunderland's players were always aggressive in defending.
The Stoke City striker was Northworthy, a black man with a fairly strong body who leaned straight on, one of the few Sunderland players who didn't suffer physically.
The rock-hard muscles leave the opposing striker without any chance.
Roy Keane was relieved that if it continued like this, Stoke City wouldn't have a chance at all.
At this time, the Stoke City striker, who did not take advantage of Northworthy, made a mistake, and he could not perfectly control the ball in Northworthy's body collision, and the ball was far away from him, almost beyond his control.
Faced with such a situation, the impatient Northworth rashly stretched out his right foot and wanted to poke the football off.
His idea was good, but the actual effect was a kick to the right foot of the Stoke City striker.
The Stoke City striker consciously fell to the grass with his right foot, and at this time most professional players will make the same choice as him, not to mention, unconsciously, in the stumble, he happened to be in the penalty area!
"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle at the right time, ran over quickly, checked the Stoke City striker who had fallen on the grass, and then mercilessly pulled out the bright red card from his arms and flashed it to Eivaldo.
Then, the referee ran to the place where the penalty was taken, pointed to the ball, and signaled that a penalty was awarded.
Sunderland ate the red dot set, Sunderland's fans were in an uproar, Eva also looked at Chen Yier with some worry, Chen Yier did not come forward to argue, patted the frustrated Northworthy, and signaled comfort.
Captain Whitehead was shown a yellow card for the argument and the players' emotions began to be unstable, perhaps they realised that the team could be on the verge of a defeat.
