Chapter 53: The Ultimate Goal
readx;
The first Wimbledon fans will never forget the moment when Chu dodged a defender and then fired a powerful long-range shot from the right side of the penalty area that burrowed into the opposition goal like a cannonball - a replica of the Wimbledon goal that came to Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The only difference was that this time Chu Zhongtian's football shot out of the ball directly penetrated the net!
When some people saw the football flying towards the stands, they thought that Chu Zhongtian had missed the football again...... But the referee's whistle saved them from the illusion.
"Ball...... The ball is in!! β
The narrator roared in disregard.
"The football broke through the net...... What a terrifying power!! β
"Chu's long-range shot is unstoppable! Simply unbeatable! β
Russell simply stood up from his seat, his head in his hands, and an incredulous expression on his face.
The whole stadium was filled with the exclamations of the fans. It's not often that a long-range shot hits the net, and it's a little hard for everyone to accept.
Boss John, they forgot to cheer at first, and it wasn't until they saw the referee's gesture that they understood - the football really flew into the goal!
"Hooray!!" Boss John jumped up with his arms raised.
"Chu has scored!!"
After the goal, Chu Zhongtian waved his hand to prevent his teammates from coming up to hug him to celebrate the goal, but ran straight to the bottom of the stands where Wimbledon fans gathered, he kissed the Wimbledon badge on his chest and slapped his heart with his palm, and then he raised his arms and shouted: "Go back to where you should go-"
Wimbledon fans poured down from above, crowded in front of Chu Zhongtian, and chanted with him: "Go back to where you need to go!!" Go to the top league! Get back to where you need to go! London - South West!! β
Teammates also ran over and joined in the shout.
The sound grew louder and louder, and eventually became a frenzy that swept across Wembley Stadium. All the Wimbledon fans in the stadium raised their arms and chanted: "Back to where you belong!" Go to the top league!! Get back to where you need to go! London - South West - !! β
"Get back to where you need to be!!"
"Go to the top league!!"
"Back to where you need to go!!"
"London-South West !!"
Boss John was shouting, Jackson was shouting, and even old Bent was waving his trembling arms, trying to make his voice sound louder.
Emily was in front of them, also raising her arms and shouting. Today, she wore a ponytail for her blonde hair, a Wimbledon jersey, a pair of ordinary jeans underneath, and a Wimbledon scarf tied to her hands, which was no different from any ordinary football fan.
Today she is not former Oscar-winning actress Emily. Stan, but a die-hard Wimbledon fan who loves the team.
The loud shouts continued, like rolling thunder, that reverberated over Wembley Stadium and televised throughout England.
Everyone heard their shouts, it was the return of the Berserk!
No one will be able to stop the return of Wimbledon! Anyone who dares to thwart them from achieving their goal will be ruthlessly crushed! Reading, for example!
Even the Reading players and fans were stunned by the momentum.
Michael. Haven looked up at the stands around him, a little unsure of what to do. The situation for Reading's players was even worse, as they had not yet recovered from the pain of conceding a goal when they were overwhelmed by the roar of the Wimbledon fans, watching everything that was happening in front of them with blank expressions.
The Wimbledon fans gathered in the stands right behind their goal, and the Reading players gathered in front of the goal could feel the opposition fans very clearly β like a huge wave crashing on their hearts, stopping their hearts with every shout.
Some Reading players even wished that the Wimbledon fans would stop shouting and have a heart attack if they continued to shout...... In the midst of this huge cheer, even the voices of the commentators were drowned out. Later, they simply shut their mouths in recognition of each other, so that the whole stadium was only the shouts of Wimbledon fans.
This grand celebration lasted for three minutes, until the referee intervened and the players left the stands and returned to the pitch. Reading's players had already placed their football in the centre circle and were ready to kick off. However, none of them made a sound to remind the referee to interfere with the Wimbledon players who were still celebrating. They are one man less than the opposition, they are now two goals down, and with 27 minutes left in the game, they have basically lost their temper - it has become difficult to equalise, let alone overtake.
The Wimbledon players returned to the pitch while the shouting from the stands continued.
The astonishing momentum took hold of the pitch and the Reading players were almost demoralized.
Russell laughed with satisfaction when he saw this scene on the sidelines. His 3-0 at half-time was a bit conservative and now it looks like a two-goal lead would be enough to crush the opposition.
β2:0οΌ Wimbledon went for the key goal! Reading, who are one man less than them, are two goals behind and it will be difficult for the rest of the game......
"I think Wimbledon have sealed the win! Chu's long-range strike was impressive, boosting the team's morale and nearly crushing Reading β how could they turn a team back from two goals down and one man less? β
"It wasn't Chu who beat Reading, but Wimbledon's dream of returning to the Premier League that he has never given up for 17 years! Such a dream has been fermenting every year, and today, it has become a behemoth, which is impossible for Reading to overcome! β
The commentator was right, when the game resumed, Reading seemed to have lost all fighting spirit and strength.
Even the "hyena" Harrison and Buckle, who have been pestering Chu Zhongtian throughout the game, are no longer as desperate as before - they were desperate because they could still see the hope of winning, they are not perverts who take pleasure in waste, if they can't win, who would want to bear the infamy of "butcher"?
Their head coach Michael. Haven also stood on the sidelines helplessly. He had used all the cards he could use, but the reality was cruel, his team was down 0-2, and he was one better than his opponent...... This match will be remembered for posterity as a classic example of "losing and losing", and he ...... I'm afraid it will be completely drowned out by the spittle of the media.
Although there are more than 20 minutes left in this game, there may be 30 minutes left when you count injury time. But Reading has already lost to Michael. Haven is well aware.
In the previous games, he had been standing on the sidelines and directing, constantly reminding the players with gestures and a loud voice on what to do.
But now he glanced at the pitch and turned and walked back to the dugout.
The assistant coaches thought their head coach had something to tell them -- like a substitution or something.
Unexpectedly, Harvin didn't say anything, so he just sat in his place, leaned back in the chair, and looked at the court blankly, his eyes were a little dazed, and he couldn't focus on it.
The assistant coach lowered his head, and when the game got to this, he knew it was completely out of play.
β»β»β»After celebrating Chu Zhongtian's goal, Russell couldn't wait to ask the substitute players to warm up, and he was already preparing to replace Chu Zhongtian.
He knew that Chu Zhongtian actually couldn't last long, so in order to prevent Chu Zhongtian from retiring after really finishing this game, it was better to replace him.
Three minutes after the game restarted, Kevin . Clark saw Tom. Welbeck stood on the sidelines with the fourth official.
He knew that this was to replace Chu Zhongtian.
So after he received a pass from his teammates, he kicked the football directly out of the sideline without anyone forcing him!
"Clark kicked the ball out, throw-in! It's clear that this is creating opportunities for substitutions! β
Seeing the football fly out of the sideline, Wimbledon fans couldn't wait to applaud, this applause was given to Chu Zhongtian, who was about to leave the game.
When Chu Zhongtian saw this scene, he also knew that he should end up. In fact, after the excitement of the goal, there was a huge pain in the ankle. It's already a miracle that he can still stand on the field, not to mention running and jumping. And their team-mates obviously understand this, and Wimbledon are now less hungry for goals with a two-goal lead, so they are no longer trying to pass the football to the captain as they used to, but let him rest on the pitch.
Harrison and Bakr also lost all their strength, just watching Chu Zhongtian vigilantly from a distance, but they didn't come up to force him - he rarely took the ball now, and it was pointless to force him.
The fourth official held up the sign in his hand, which clearly showed Chu Zhongtian's number: 8.
"In the sixty-sixth minute, Chu was substituted!"
"He really deserves to be replaced, dragging a broken leg to fight for the team to score a goal to help the team seal the win, he can go down and rest!"
"Wimbledon Athletic were the first to make a substitution, and they replaced the team's goal-scorer, captain Chu!"
The commentators said one after another.
The fans in the stands were still applauding.
At this time, there was a huge cheer.
Boss John led the guys around him to sing loudly:
This is a song sung for those who stand firm in their faith! Sing for Chu who never flinched! There is no doubt that the race will get tougher...... Neither will luck befall again...... But he never gave up! its_my_chuββοΌοΌ β
The song soon spread throughout Wembley Stadium, and all Wimbledon fans were familiar with the song, and they sang along.
"Now he's our hero! He runs and never stops! He terrifies all opponents! its_my_chuββοΌοΌ When he sprinted, it was like a chariot of fire! You don't want to cross in front of him easily! Because he is our Chu!! β
In the midst of the song, Chu Zhongtian removed the captain's armband from his arm, and then walked towards Kevin. Clarke.
Clark saw that Chu Zhongtian was walking a little slowly, and knew that he was a foot problem, so he hurriedly walked up to meet him and took the captain's armband from Chu Zhongtian's hand.
"It's up to you, Kevin." Chu Zhongtian personally tied the armband to Clark's arm, and then patted him on the shoulder.
After all that last night, he turned and walked to the sidelines, ready to get off the pitch.
The singing was a little louder, and everyone was hoarsely singing the praises of Chu Zhongtian and the heroes of Wimbledon.
When Chu Zhongtian heard this singing, he raised his arms and waved to the Wimbledon fans in the stands, thanking them for their support.
This season has overcome many difficulties and finally reached the point. He didn't feel relieved, for him, it was just the beginning.
When one story ends, it often means that another story has begun.
His mind is not about how to celebrate after promotion, but how Wimbledon will survive next season.
That's a real problem...... But now...... Let's enjoy it!
He spread his arms and walked to the sidelines.
He turned and waved to the fans in the stands.
The fans responded with a louder singing voice.
In the midst of the song, many Wimbledon fans were already in tears, or simply burst into tears...... A dream that has been going on for seventeen years is finally coming true, and who can not be excited?
Although there are still more than 20 minutes before the end of the game, many people have begun to hug and cry with the people around them.
Seventeen years ago, when Wimbledon was faced with the prospect of moving and changing its name, fans in the community knew their team was finished, and out of anger they formed their own football club. Seventeen years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the team is now only half a step away from being promoted to the super.
Seventeen years is not a long time in the 100-year history of a club in England, but it is by no means short for human life.
Seventeen years can make the original college students become middle-aged, and the original middle-aged people can become old men. Many gray-haired fans in the stands today were still in the prime of life at the beginning...... Seventeen years ago, Beckham was a young and idol of many English fans, but now he has long since retired and become Manchester United's global ambassador. The heartthrobs of the past are now old men.
The only person who was able to play and play at Wimbledon was and is the only one left in front of him.
He's the history of Wimbledon!
Boss John took the time to wipe his eyes and continued to sing hoarsely: "its_my_chu-!! β
β»β»β» On the sidelines, Chu Zhongtian's substitute Tom. Welbeck was ready, he stretched out his hands.
Chu Zhongtian high-fived him and completed the handover.
But this time, Welbeck didn't run to the field right away, but directly hugged Chu Zhongtian and said to him in his ear: "Thank you, boss!" β
Welbeck is a true Wimbledon man, he was raised from the Academy at Wimbledon and his father was a die-hard Wimbledon fan, so he was too.
Now that he sees his favorite team promoted to the Premier League, he is so excited that he can't help himself, and of course he has to thank the biggest contributor to the promotion.
Thanks to Chu Zhongtian, Welbeck ran briskly onto the pitch.
Chu Zhongtian walked to the bench.
In fact, when he and Welbeck embraced, the people on the bench and in the dugout all rose from their positions.
Now it is almost a queue to welcome and wait for Chu Zhongtian's arrival.
The head coach Russell gave Chu Zhongtian a powerful hug: "How are the feet?" He asked.
Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I have never felt so good!" β
Russell knew that he was talking about the mood at this moment, and he didn't drag him to say anything, there were so many people waiting behind him. After doing this, I'll have Rod check his ankle and reprocess it.
Chu Zhongtian and every Wimbledon substitute player and coach high-fived and hugged.
The last one is Rhodes. Ryan.
Ryan had already opened his arms, "I can't agree with your insistence on playing. But before I give you treatment, allow me to say thank you, Chu. β
Chu Zhongtian hugged him and sat on the ground - his ankles couldn't hold on.
Rod. Ryan squatted down to change his bandages, first untied the bandages that had been messily scattered, and while he was preparing the new bandages, he handed a bag of ice to Chu Zhongtian and asked him to press it on his swollen ankles.
It was frighteningly swollen, and Ryan wasn't surprised at all, because he had expected it. From the moment Chu Zhongtian insisted on playing the game, other things were expected.
But it was this stubborn decision that sealed the win for the team.
As a team doctor, he didn't allow Chu Zhongtian to do this, but as a Wimbledon supporter, he was glad to see it...... What a contradiction.
Chu Zhongtian leaned back, supported his hands, and then looked up at the sky, the sky was very blue, behind the blue sky was the beautiful and exquisite roof of Wembley Stadium, and the crowds of people, constantly waving arms in the stands - these pictures appeared in Chu Zhongtian's eyes.
It's beautiful...... He narrowed his eyes.
The last 20 minutes of the game were nothing short of a formality, with Reading having no strength to counter-attack and Wimbledon basking in the joy of their imminent promotion.
So the referee didn't even give enough stoppage time, and at the second minute and 21 seconds of injury time, he took advantage of a football out of bounds to blow the whistle directly at the end of the game!
The whistle sounded like a blessing to Wimbledon fans!
It's over!
They've upgraded!
By the time the first whistle blew, the Wimbledon players on the pitch had already raised their arms and fell to their knees.
The Wimbledon players, who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, rushed onto the pitch as soon as possible, and the referee's three whistles only sounded twice...... The entire Wembley Stadium was boiling as Wimbledon fans jumped from their seats, raising their arms and chanting.
In the crowd, Emily didn't join her fellow players in cheering for Wimbledon's promotion, even though she was also the most die-hard Wimbledon fan.
She said she set her sights on the bench at Wimbledon Athletic.
There, instead of bouncing like the others, her husband rushed to the court like the others - he had a thick bag of ice tied to his left ankle. Ryan was holding on, unable to even get down, and could only support his body with one right foot. He didn't have the strength to run to celebrate the victory.
Everyone around them was celebrating. They hugged each other, but Chu Zhongtian and Ryan just stood in place with smiles on their faces, watching all this.
Coincidentally, the TV broadcast did not focus the camera on those celebrating players, but firmly locked on Chu Zhongtian.
"Wimbledon Athletic have been promoted to the next level, and in 17 years they have gone from being an amateur team formed by fans to a professional team that is about to compete in the Super League, and this man is the key. He was in Wimbledon seventeen years ago when it was an amateur team, and now he is in the team when the team completes its historic promotion. If he hadn't moved to this team a year ago, maybe he wouldn't be where he is today. It's incredible that a Chinese has left such a mark on the history of an English team......"
"Congratulations to Wimbledon! Congratulations too! He shouted the slogan of leading the team to promotion a season ago, he was considered crazy at that time, and now he has achieved it! When he was the head coach of the team, the media questioned him endlessly, and he did not refute it, but just said that the results would do the talking...... What a beautiful counterattack! β
'Is it legendary to score two goals in a row against Chelsea as an amateur at Wimbledon to knock out Chelsea? Is it legendary to lead a small Ligue 1 team to win the UEFA Cup at Metz? At Hoffenheim, is it legendary to lead the team to lift the league championship trophy in their first season as a promoted horse? In the Champions League final, he led Hoffenheim and the mighty Barcelona for 120 minutes, and the guest goalkeeper saved all the opponent's penalties to win the European Champions Cup, is this legendary? Achieving the treble at Real Madrid and ending Barcelona's reign once and for all, is it legendary? No, none of this is legendary, for me, he played for Wimbledon Athletic seventeen years ago, and seventeen years later he personally led the team to promotion to the Premier League as captain and manager, that's a real legend! The combination of a person's career and the history of a club is legendary! β
The Wimbledon players who were celebrating on the pitch suddenly noticed that something was missing - their captain was still on the sidelines!
Seeing the ice pack tied to his feet, everyone knew why the captain was not with them at this time.
No one proposed, everyone spontaneously ran towards Chu Zhongtian, and a large crowd of people rushed to him, and then took him from Rhodes. Ryan snatched it from his hand and raised it high!
"Hey...... Tap, tap ...... Don't touch his left foot...... Ha! β
Rod. Ryan watched Chu Zhongtian being lifted up by everyone, and laughed along.
"Say hello to everyone! Clear! He shouted at Chu Zhongtian below.
Chu Zhongtian waved his hand, and just as he wanted to say something, he was drowned out by a huge cheer.
"Long live !!"
Kevin. Clark shouted to his teammates below, "No toss, no toss!" I'm careful of being touched on his left foot! Let's go, guys! Carry the boss to celebrate the victory!! β
The players cheered and carried Chu Zhongtian on the road.
β»β»β»The entire Wembley Stadium has become a sea of celebration for the people of Wimbledon.
Reading had already gone with a sense of humor. Russell was surrounded by reporters, and they also wanted to ask Chu Zhongtian, but Chu Zhongtian was tightly hugged by a large group of Wimbledon players and carried on his shoulders, and they couldn't get forward at all.
He could only look up at Chu Zhongtian who was high above one by one, and the cameras and cameras slapped him violently.
Finally, after they carried Chu Zhongtian around the field and accepted the respect of all the fans, they carefully put Chu Zhongtian down.
The reporters immediately flew up like flies on a cake. But they stopped him than Clark: "Slow down, don't squeeze!" If you hurt our boss's left foot, I'm not done with you! β
The reporters still squeezed in front of Chu Zhongtian, and countless microphones reached his mouth.
It is clear to everyone that the man in front of him is the biggest hero of this game, and tomorrow he will also be the front page figure of all the media attention.
"Congratulations, Chu. Wimbledon to reach the Premier League, did you achieve your goal? β
"No, upgrading is just the beginning! That's not our ultimate goal! β
Chu Zhongtian's answer was categorical.
The reporters were taken aback, didn't the information say that when the team was founded seventeen years ago, the goal was to return to the top flight? Why isn't it now? Wrong information? Or did the excited Chu Zhongtian remember it wrong?
Looking at a group of surprised reporters, Chu Zhongtian nodded: "That's right, our goal is to enter the Champions League!" β
A bunch of journalists were stupid.
Next to Kevin. Clark was also stupid...... But Chu Zhongtian waved his fist and said, "'Crazy Gang'! I'm going to go wild in Europe!! β
