Chapter 33: The First Home Win (Part II)

They lost to Chipste in the second round of the league, but Wimbledon had no time to rejoice from the defeat and two days later they hosted their third-round opponents, Cove.

Wimbledon, who have just lost a game, are holding their breath at home and must get their first home win of the new season.

As a result, it was the visiting team that scored first in the game.

In the 36th minute, the visitors took advantage of a corner kick and their centre-back Scott Hannah headed past Andy Bale.

Chu Zhongtian continued to start this game, while Russell did not. It was also the first time that the two of them did not appear on the court at the same time. Eames took Russell's fitness into account and intended to make him available at half-time.

After falling behind in the first half, Eames lost his temper with the team at half-time.

"We're lagging behind again, why should I say again? Because we were like this in the last game, and we were like this in the last game! Look outside, there are more than 3,300 Wimbledon fans there! Don't think that after the last defeat, they still applaud you because they don't mind a defeat! If we lose again, we will lose them! Eames yelled as he pointed outside the locker room.

"A lot of you are Wimbledon fans and have watched that team play in the stands. Now close your eyes and think about it...... How do you feel when you're in the stands watching your team lose game after game?! Cheer me up and cheer up the fans in the second half! ”

Then, during the tactical adjustment, Eames brought Russell on to replace Simon Bassey to strengthen the midfield.

It was another immediate substitution. Russell, who was held back for half the court, was very active after playing, and with Chu Zhongtian protecting him in the back, he could rest assured that he could boldly organize an attack in the front court. Finally, in the 52nd minute, Russell assisted Schilling to equalize.

After the goal, Schilling ran to the stands and bowed to the Wimbledon fans there to thank him. His celebration drew applause from the fans.

Unexpectedly, just a minute later, the Koff team actually exceeded the score again.

The opponent launched an attack directly after kick-off, although Chu Zhongtian put down the opponent's player with the ball in defense, but the opponent passed the football before falling to the ground, and then the Kofu team organized an attack and scored another goal while the excited Wimbledon players had not come to their senses. Rewrite the score to 1:2 and they are leading away!

Russell held his head in his hands, very annoyed by the lost ball, but Chu Zhongtian grabbed his arm: "Now is not the time to be annoyed." Now is our chance. ”

"Opportunity?" Russell really didn't know what kind of opportunity this was.

'They used us to score a goal after we just scored, can't we take advantage of that as well?'

Hearing Chu Zhongtian say this, Russell's eyes lit up.

By the time Wimbledon kicked off, the Kofs were still excited that they had taken the lead again so soon, and Russell had already driven the ball into the opposition box. His sudden dribbling forward made the opposition defence scramble, and finally had to pull him down in the box, and the referee unceremoniously awarded a penalty!

β€œyes!” Chu Zhongtian saw that his plan had really come true, and although he did not personally participate in the attack, he still waved his fist excitedly.

Russell leapt from the ground and raised his arms as if he had already scored.

Eames didn't expect the team to score again in such a quick time, and he was stunned on the sidelines for a moment before he reacted, not to mention the fans in the stands, some even laughed - they were laughing at the Koff team who had been celebrating wantonly.

On the other side, the Kof fans and players were dumbfounded......

There was no doubt about the penalty, although the players of the Kov team surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation, but the referee was unmoved and insisted on the penalty.

The penalty was ultimately taken by Russell himself, who deceived the goalkeeper and smashed the ball into the top left corner.

The score was rewritten three times in three minutes, from 1:1 to 1:2 and then to 2:2.

These three minutes of small ** also ignited the passion of the fans outside the stadium, who kept singing and shouting in the stands to cheer for their team.

It's just that Wimbledon didn't have it so easy to score in the following game.

The Koff team saw that their lead had been wiped out, and now they were on the opponent's home turf again, and Wimbledon was in high spirits, and if they let the opponent score another goal, they would not even get a point.

So I simply chose to stick to it.

Facing the opponent's iron bucket formation, Wimbledon had no choice. It's not a one-time or two-time situation, and whenever the opposition try to stick to the box, Wimbledon lacks a sufficiently effective way to break down the opposition's bucket formation.

Chu Zhongtian was anxious to look at the back, but he couldn't do anything. Once again, he experienced that feeling of powerlessness – when the team needed a change in attack, he couldn't help. It would be nice if I had the ability to attack......

For the first time now, he hated himself for focusing only on the defensive side of the exercise, completely ignoring the offensive side of the practice.

Wimbledon besieged the opposition's penalty area, but the two full-backs did not press on both, going up one and leaving one. This is what Imster has told, the team can't always trip on the same rock twice, right? In the last game, which lasted almost the entire game, and finally allowed the opponent to sneak up on the opponent to win the game in the 83rd minute, this game cannot be repeated in any way.

So even if the back waist can play a surprise role at this time, Chu Zhongtian also stayed in the backcourt honestly and did not go up. Besides, what's the use of a back like him, even if he plugs it in? He can't shoot from distance, he can't pass the ball, he is good for nothing but grabbing the ball, and once he leaves a large gap behind him, his back is useless, and the opponent can break through his defense with a long pass.

Thankfully, God is taking care of Wimbledon. In the 88th minute, Kevin Cooper received the ball with his back outside the penalty area before suddenly turning and shooting straight at goal. None of the Koff's defenders and goalkeepers reacted to Cooper's shot, and perhaps they didn't expect the Wimbledon players to dare to shoot like that......

The ball slipped between the legs of the defender who was marking Cooper, and the goalkeeper was too late to make another save, and the ball flew past his fingertips and into the back of the net, a professional goal!

"Well done!!" Chu Zhongtian, who watched the whole goal in the back, couldn't help but shout. Then he opened his arms and rushed towards Cooper after the goal.

The entire Kings ranch was set on fire by the last-minute goal, and the 3,300 Wimbledon fans erupted in a huge cheer, and the whole stadium trembled in cheers.

They are on the verge of their first home win since Wimbledon!

There was very little time left for the Koff team, with five minutes left to equalise after three minutes of stoppage time.

This time it was Chu Zhongtian's turn to show his face.

He first defended a cross from the wing and headed it in with his excellency. Then, in less than a minute, he faced the opponent's midfielder again. This time, after he kept kicking and harassing behind his back, forcing the opponent to relax his control of the ball, he suddenly dodged forward, cut in, separated the opponent from the football, and controlled the ball at his feet, he did not delay time, and immediately passed the football to Russell, who was closest to him, and controlled the ball, Russell was much more useful than him.

Russell did not live up to Chu Zhongtian's break, he controlled the football at his feet for a full minute, and then faced the opponent's three crazy players, and passed the ball back to Chu Zhongtian.

The opposing player saw that the football had fallen to Chu Zhongtian's feet again. After a game of observation, they found that Chu Zhongtian's ball control skills were not very good, as long as they put pressure on him, they might be able to snatch the ball from this yellow-skinned and black-haired kid. At that time, you will be able to counterattack directly in the opponent's backfield, and if you lose the ball at the back, you can almost face the goalkeeper directly...... They thought very well, but when they just rushed over, Chu Zhongtian passed the football back to Russell.

Every training session is in a group with Russell, and this kind of passing the ball to each other on the run has long been familiar with it. The ball passed between the two Kof players and landed at Russell's feet.

With just one defender, Russell has a lot less pressure and can easily handle it on his own.

Seeing this, the two Kove players turned and pounced on Russell.

So Russell passed the football back to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian never thought that he would play this kind of game with Russell one day, but the object of the play changed from himself to an opponent he never knew. Seeing his opponent turn and pounce on him again, like a desperate mouse, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was too ironic......

In that international student friendship match, was I like this in the eyes of others at that time?

Seeing the two Kofu players rushing towards him, Chu Zhongtian did not pass the ball to Russell again, although the other party was happily gesturing to him and signaling him to pass it back. He turned and kicked the ball to centre-back Sim Johnston, who was 10 metres behind him.

Johnston wasn't as fun as Russell, and in the face of the opposition's pressing in front of him, he kicked the ball directly into the air, and the referee's final whistle sounded.

The game is over! Wimbledon have taken their historic first win at their home turf, Kings Ranch!

Chu Zhongtian saw Emily in the cheering crowd, and the piece in her hand that read "Chu! Come on! He waved at Emily, a happy smile on his face.
