Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Lion Shakes His Head

It was Derby County who conceded the goal first, which worried Derby County fans, and what has happened to the club recently has been a little uneasy for them, and in recent years several clubs have been relegated and disbanded from internal conflicts.

They don't want their team to face such a fate, they shout loudly, hoping to give some strength to the players on the field, if the team can succeed in the Premier League, maybe with the help of a lot of money, they can come back to life!

Roy Keane watched his team from the sidelines, and he was happy with the current form, at least the team was still in the lead.

I have to say that 45 minutes is a time to relax, at least now Sunderland are not as serious as before, but it is real, when Barnes started to retreat, Derby County controlled the tempo, but the attacking aspect was relatively reduced.

The three midfielders did threaten, but only to the point of making Sunderland's backfield a little flustered, with Derby attacking more but very few actually threatening the goal.

It was a good opportunity to erupt in regret but the 29-year-old didn't take it.

I have to say that Connolly's timing of finding openings is quite accurate, but in terms of the goal, he belongs to the kind of guy who has a greater chance of scoring the goal the closer he gets to the goal, and it can even be said that he belongs to the kind of guy who is not particularly good at his feet, but prefers to shoot after passing the goalkeeper.

It was a corner, with Sunderland's player Northworthy, the big black man huddled in the middle of the box looking for a header, while Chen dropped back and looked for a long-range shot on the edge of the box.

In the defense of the corner kick, a Derby County player who had been passed by Chen Yier jumped high, and the anger of being teased through the crotch seemed to be vented at that moment, Chen Yier raised his head and ran backwards, still muttering in his heart that this guy's header was really ruthless.

The Derby County fans shouted loudly, it was a shout of excitement.

The ball that had been pushed by a Derby player flew into the Derby-controlled midfield area, but there were no Sunderland players around it.

Billy Davies shook his fist hard, and the defensive counterattack of the weak team has always been a must, while Derby County, although the players are not very good, are still among the best in terms of defensive counterattacks.

It was an opportunity for Billy Davies to tremble, and it was Matt Oakley, a 30-year-old player who had spent 12 seasons at Southampton and had a good run in the Premier League.

He used to be the main player of Southampton, even if Derby County was promoted to the Premier League, he was also a player who could continue to be used, and if the ball was at the feet of others, Billy Davies might still be a little uneasy, but at the feet of Matt Oakley, Billy Davies was a hundred reassuring.

Compared to Billy Davis's steady sitting on the Diaoyu Tai, Roy Keane was much more emotional, he kept waving his hands and shouting loudly, hoping that the team's players could react in time and be able to quickly return to the defense.

It was so unpleasant to be equalised at the end of the first half.

And at this time, Roy Keane's eyes lit up, and he saw the 34-year-old veteran Dwight York who transferred from Sydney FC, and at this time Roy Keane couldn't help but sigh secretly, worthy of being a veteran! This is the time to be stable.

At this time, it was already past halftime, and Matt Oakley had an interesting side, but Dwight Oakley did not leak, followed closely by Matt Oakley, looking at Dwight Oakley's huge size, Matt Oakley, as a veteran, naturally would not do some risky things.

However, because of the different position, Matt Oakley also sees some things that Dwight York can't see.

Chen Yier also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dwight York, in the training match, Dwight York was still quite difficult to deal with, his body was strong, his consciousness was good, and he dared to lower his legs, but he was old and had some physical problems.

But then Chen Yier's face changed, because he saw another figure, the guy who replaced Lupoli.

Although not far from him, Danny Simpson was staring at him, but Chen Yier wished that Danny Simpson was not there at this time!

Matt Oakley didn't delay too much time, directly hit a good diagonal cross into the middle, let the ball fly to Sunderland's penalty area, and at this time Barnes also started, Danny Simpson tried to pull Barnes with his hands, but Barnes was too strong, pulled up his clothes several times, and then Barnes broke free with a force.

It was Alnick who defended the goal, he finally managed to get through and become the main player this season, but the goals conceded in the previous games were all related to him, Roy Keane has already had a private conversation with him, and he also felt Roy Keane's dissatisfaction, in the face of this attack, if he can stop this ball, it is also an opportunity to prove himself.

I roughly predicted where the ball would land, which was a bit far away from Alnwick and relatively close to Barnes.

Alnick didn't choose to attack, but lowered his center of gravity slightly, staring at Barnes, waiting for the moment when Barnes missed the ball, maybe it was a good time for him to strike, and he had even begun to imagine what kind of cheers he would receive when he punched the ball away.

The ball fell, Barnes was a little caught up, the ball hit the ground and bounced, Barnes tried to stop the ball, but at this time Alnick moved.

Roy Keane and Billy Davis both have their eyes on the pitch as it becomes a goalkeeper-striker battle and a test of their trust in their respective players.

Barnes thought a lot about it in that moment, picked the ball with his foot and passed the goalkeeper?

It was a wonderful idea, but Barnes had no choice but to give up on it as soon as he remembered his speed.

The distance between the two men was getting closer, and there wasn't much time left for Barnes, who and Alnick were both just one step away from the ball.

Barnes jumped, which wasn't a good angle, and Alnick was about to get closer, Barnes shook his head and touched the ball with his forehead, and the ball arced.

Alnick leaned back, jumped back and raised his hand.

Roy Keane closed his eyes, and at this moment he suddenly felt that Alnick at 188 was too short.

Billy Davis laughed, and he roared excitedly.

1:1, with a piercing whistle.

Half-time is over.

The Derby County fans were shouting as if they had won.

Lupoli listened to the shouts of the fans in a daze, and from the very beginning of calling his name, it has become "Barnes".

Alnick lay on his back on the ground, his mind blank, he tilted his head to look at the dugout, and Roy Keane turned away, not looking at him at all.

Some people rejoice, and some people are sad.
