As soon as Chu Zhongtian came on the field, Wimbledon Athletic's attack immediately suppressed Reading, which was almost immediate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even a layman can see it.

Chu Zhongtian's role in this team can be seen.

After Chu Zhongtian used a leaky ball to trick Reading's defenders, Wimbledon Athletic's morale was boosted.

Reading, on the other hand, were very clever to revert back to counter-attacking.

They don't care about the ugly scene, as long as they don't lose the ball, and then wait for the two backs to kill Chu Zhongtian. As long as Chu Zhongtian can be injured, it will not be difficult to defeat a Wimbledon Athletic team that has lost its soul.

Chu Zhongtian could feel that every step he took would come from his left foot. But he didn't let everything show in his facial expressions and running form.

No one could tell that he was actually injured. The Wimbledon players saw Chu Zhongtian playing with the opponent's defenders, and they all thought that Grayton's kick really didn't have much impact on Chu Zhongtian.

Even Grayton, who was watching the TV broadcast in the locker room, felt incredible—he did kick Chu Zhongtian's heel and ankle, and then used the inertia and kinetic energy of his body to crash into it, let alone a thirty-five-year-old veteran, even a twenty-five-year-old young man could not be idle after being hit so violently.

What made Chu Zhongtian more difficult to deal with than the injury was the opponent's two backs, Royce. Harrison and Eric. Bakker was like two hyenas, chasing him closely. As soon as he touches the football, the opponent will pounce on him. Although their defensive movements were not as rough as before, and there were much fewer moves to go directly at people, they were more difficult to deal with - because they were forcing Chu Zhongtian to control the ball with his left foot.

The bandaged and injured left foot was not flexible enough, and he had to face the other party's fierce pressing, and Chu Zhongtian had a little hard time dealing with it for a while.

At the same time, he has to help the team open up the situation as soon as possible. He knows his physical condition, and if he keeps going on like this, Wimbledon will be in danger. Affected by the injury, there is only a limit to what he can do, and he doesn't know how long he can last, maybe he won't be able to play after the first half, maybe he can hold on until 75 minutes, maybe he can last until 90 minutes...... Who knows?

But the game gets harder and harder the game goes on. Reading will defend more thoroughly with one man and will not mind dragging the game to a penalty shoot-out, in which case the morale-boosting Reading will have a good chance of beating a frustrated Wimbledon side.

If Wimbledon can break the deadlock and score a crucial goal, they can completely shatter Reading's idea of holding on to the ground and force them to press out and play against Wimbledon. Reading will face a relentless blow from Wimbledon with one man in hand, as Wimbledon's quick and direct style of play will be maximised with plenty of space available.

So the key to this game is the first goal, as long as Wimbledon can score a goal, it will be able to open up the situation, and the pressure on Chu Zhongtian will be much lighter.

Now that Reading are focused on him, this is an opportunity for others to score as long as they can draw the attention of Reading and the rest of Wimbledon will have a chance to score.

※※※ After Chu Zhongtian took the ball, Royce. Harrison pressed up, he didn't directly grab the ball with his feet, but stuck behind Chu Zhongtian and didn't let him turn around.

If it was Chu Zhongtian before the injury, he could use feints and sudden acceleration to get rid of them, but now that his ankle is injured, he can't exert his strength, and it is very difficult to do feints and acceleration.

Harrison saw this and adopted this defensive strategy. In this way, you don't have to risk getting a card to foul, and you can also prevent Chu Zhongtian.

After Harrison posted it, Bakkel saw that Chu Zhongtian didn't get rid of it immediately, and he knew that Harrison had succeeded.

He quickly approached from the other side, ready to grab the ball.

"Chu can't turn around now, Harrison's defense is very tight!"

"Bakr came up...... Double clamp defense! ”

In order to cooperate with Buckle, Harrison made a move to grab the ball in the back to distract Chu Zhongtian, when Chu Zhongtian concentrated on dealing with him, his teammate Buckle could snatch the football from the other side, and when the time came to play Wimbledon Athletic with a counterattack, maybe he would take the lead!

Harrison's movements really attracted Chu Zhongtian's attention, and he turned his head to look behind him.

Bakker rejoices, now!

He reached out to grab the ball.

How could he have thought that Chu Zhongtian, who turned his head and didn't look at him, was like having eyes in the back of his head, and as soon as he stepped on the football, he easily dodged Bakker's pressing. Immediately following his hand, he pushed Harrison, so that he could not get close, and knocked the football behind Harrison with his left foot while turning himself!

Just like that, I got out of the encirclement of two people!

"Oh! Pretty! ”

The narrator exclaimed.

"Chu-!!" Wimbledon fans in the stands cheered loudly.

Chu Zhongtian, who got out of the encirclement, didn't rush to pass the ball, he seemed to be waiting for Reading's defenders to pounce. He dribbled straight into the box.

Harrison and Bakr struggled to catch up in the back, with centre-back Djibouti in front. Seaver rushed up, intending to block Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian still didn't play the ball, he was always staring at the scavenger Selen who was dragging behind. Simmons, the Redding captain, is an experienced, calm centre-back, and as a scavenger, he can always get back to key positions and play key defences, and with him in tow, many of Wimbledon's attacks have ended with him.

So if he continues to drag to the back, he can still pose a threat to Wimbledon's attack, and he will have to find a way to pull him out...... Chu Zhongtian thought so, and suddenly picked up his right leg!

This action is familiar to Reading players, and when the two sides met for the first time this season, it was Chu Zhongtian who suddenly came with a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, which led to goalkeeper Wossa . Braxel pounces on the ball, Kevin. Clarke followed up with a follow-up shot to score the first goal.

So I saw Chu Zhongtian slamming his feet and pounced on the central defender Djibouti. Seaver immediately turned around and flew out, intending to use his body to block Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian's kick was just a feint, and he jerked the football to the other side. Just like that, he dodged Djibouti, which came up to defend him. Seaver.

He didn't pass the ball or shoot the ball on goal, but slammed the ball into the box!

Eric who followed behind. Buckle and Royce. Harrison gave hot chase and went into the box together!

"Oh! Oooh! Chu burst in! He's in the box! ”

Chu Zhongtian entered the forbidden area like a mixed river dragon, vowing to turn the Reading's forbidden area upside down!

Not only did the two midfielders rush in, but another centre-back, Harry. Dravi also came from the side, wanting to stop Chu Zhongtian.

Once he entered the forbidden area, Chu Zhongtian was safe, because the two "hyenas" who followed him didn't dare to make any more drastic moves, and once he fell, he would most likely be awarded a penalty - Reading would be killed.

So Bakker and Harris just stuck to Chu Zhongtian and didn't give him a chance to shoot with his feet.

Dravi was closing in on him on his left.

Chu Zhongtian still didn't pass the ball, although every time he touched the ball with his left foot, he felt pain, but he was still persevering!

Sailen. Simmons saw that Chu Zhongtian was still in possession of the ball, he hesitated, and then rushed up, he wanted to block Chu Zhongtian in front of him to prevent him from shooting directly.

In the regular league this season, Chu Zhongtian scored a total of 14 goals, ranking second in Wimbledon. It can be seen that he is a very good midfielder with scoring ability.

Chu Zhongtian lowered his head and didn't look at Celen. Simmons' movements, but every move of the centre-back is clearly visible in his mind.

He finally got his chance!

Harrison was about to take a risk, he slammed into it, raised his arms high, and at the same time signaled that he had not fouled, he slammed into Chu Zhongtian with the crotch of his body!

Chu Zhongtian only felt that his center of gravity had suddenly lost, and the whole person was planted forward.

As soon as Harrison hit him like this, Bakkel planned to grab the ball. Unexpectedly, the football in front of him was stabbed out with one foot!

He didn't know who stabbed the football, but after seeing the football roll out, Chu Zhongtian fell to the ground...... "This is a foul!" Someone couldn't wait to shout loudly.

But the referee didn't blow the whistle because he saw another scene - the football rolled out of the encirclement and happened to fall on Kevin. Clark's feet...... "Kevin. Clark is completely unmarked! He received the ball...... What are you waiting for...... Shot-Goal-!! ”

“gooooooooooooal！！！”

"The ball is in! The football flew into Voussa. The goal guarded by Braxel!! ”

“gooooal！ goooooooooal！ goooooooooooal！！ Wimbledon leads 1:0! ”

"In the final of the promotion play-offs, Wimbledon have the upper hand!"

"Reading, who is like a bucket, has finally lost the goal! Their 'Maginot Line' was routed by one man! This man is ......"

Kevin in the crowd. Clark pounced on Chu Zhongtian, who was about to get up from the ground.

“…… Chu――!! ”

Chu Zhongtian had just prepared when he was excited by Kevin. Clark fell to the ground.

Chu Zhongtian, who was crushed to the ground, raised his arms high and clenched them tightly into fists.

That's how they celebrated in front of the opposing goal.

※※※Michael. Harvin jerked his arm angrily.

There simply couldn't be any worse than now! They have one man less, they are still one goal behind, how are they going to play this game?

"!"

He scolded.

But that doesn't change all that, and venting your anger won't help.

Next door to him, Russell was cheering on the goal with his arms raised.

Wimbledon's bench became a sea of joy, with everyone hugging and raising their arms and shouting.

The Wimbledon fans in the stands also jumped up and cheered indulgingly, chanting the goal scorer Kevin. Clark's name, and some people sang songs to Clark.

The Reading fans were completely silent.

※※※ Clark pulled Chu Zhongtian up, with an excited smile on his face.

The rest of his team-mates also rushed over to celebrate the goal with the two men, hugging them or high-fived them.

Looking at the distant backs of this group of people, the players of Reading were silent one by one.

Harrison hit himself hard enough, enough to make the opponent lose his center of gravity. He did it, but he didn't expect the opponent to pass the ball before losing his center of gravity...... Buckle thinks maybe he was a little slower to get his feet, and if he was faster, he might be able to stab the football...... Sailen. Simmons looked at Chu Zhongtian's back. He was lured up at the last minute, and if he hadn't gone up, he would have been able to stop Kevin in time. Clark's shot on goal. In fact, Clark was very close to him, almost next to him, but at that time, he collided with Chu Zhongtian and the group of teammates who were defending Chu Zhongtian, and it was too late to defend Clark.

Now after conceding the ball, calm down and think about it, from the beginning the opponent was against him, trying to pull himself out of the defensive position...... But what can I do? Can't see the position? Then he is sure that Chu Zhongtian will shoot directly at 100%, he has this ability.

When he shoots, expect his teammates to break the ball?

He didn't know what the odds were, but he knew the odds of having the referee award a penalty must be high...... This is an unsolvable situation...... He finally knew why former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola would call Chu Zhongtian an "unsolvable bug". He's always good at using the situation to set traps, influence his judgment and actions, and thus put himself in an unsolvable situation - you know you can be fooled by doing so, but you can't help it, you will still obediently act according to his script.

This person...... It's horrible!

※※※When he ran back to restart the game, Chu Zhongtian said to his teammates around him: "Now we are ahead!" That's a good thing, they have to press out and fight us, otherwise they lose, if they come out, we defend and counterattack, and when we are solid, we fight their counterattack! There will be a lot of space by then! ”

"Listen to you, boss!" Quite a few players agreed.

Of course, there are also people who care about Chu Zhongtian's injury, because Tan was knocked to the ground by Harrison just now.

"Are you alright, Boss? ...... just now"

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I'm fine, it's not a big deal to collide like this!" ”

'We have to be clean defensively and don't give the opposition a chance to score.' He went on to tell him like a real manager does.

Many teams have to take advantage of the dead ball to pull the nearest player over to the sidelines, and then the player will pass on his instructions to the rest of the field. Either of these two is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is also a time delay that prevents you from making adjustments to the situation on the field in the first place.

But Wimbledon does not have such a problem, Chu Zhongtian can directly give instructions to his companions on the field, telling them what to do and what to pay attention to.

The whole team reacted quickly so that the opponent would not be given a chance.

※※※"In the thirty-seventh minute of the first half, Wimbledon took the lead, and the scorer was Kevin. Clark, the assister is Chu! Judging by the slow motion of the goal, Chu alone attracted four Wimbledon defenders and then passed the ball through the gap...... What a beautiful assist! Is this really what a guy with a thick bandage around his ankle can do? ”

The narrator was also in awe of Chu Zhongtian, the old guy.

"Nothing can stop him! He alone is enough to make the whole Reading team scared! Look at the reaction of the Reading defence after he broke through the box - they completely forgot that Wimbledon and the others were all headed for Chu, and the result? Kevin. Clark scored a goal with no technical difficulty! ”

The sound of cheering for Chu Zhongtian sounded in the stands, and Chu Zhongtian waved his arm in response to the enthusiasm of these fans.

As a result, the cheers were even louder.

※※※After the game restarted, to Chu Zhongtian's surprise, Reading did not launch a crazy counterattack, on the contrary, they continued to maintain a dense defensive posture.

Chu Zhongtian felt strange at first, but he soon figured it out - the first half of the game was almost over, and Reading, who had one less person, chose a more conservative tactic in order to avoid conceding another goal, so he chose a more conservative tactic and continued to defend to the death. Hopefully until the end of the first half, and then the manager is making new changes at half-time.

They are not stupid, they know how fast Wimbledon can fight back, there is no need to risk attacking Wimbledon, you must know that Wimbledon is in high spirits right now. If you concede another goal before the end of the first half, you will be 2-0 down and you will not be able to play this game. One less person is still two goals behind, and God can't save it.

Haven made the right decision at this time.

That helped his side retain hope, at least until the end of the first half, the score was still 0-1, only one goal behind, and there was still hope of a comeback in the second half.

"The first half is over! Wimbledon Athletic are currently leading Reading 1-0 for the time being! This is the final of the 2018-2019 Championship promotion play-offs, and in the 37th minute of the first half, the core of Wimbledon Athletic Chu assisted Kevin Brown. Clarke scored the goal. Reading are one man down at the moment and the second half will be very tough for them...... Alcohol who can successfully promote the Premier League, is Reading? Or Wimbledon? Fifteen minutes after the break, we'll be back and we'll see you again! ”

After the whistle blew, players from both sides walked off the pitch one after another. Reading's players look very tired, after all, they are one less person than Wimbledon, and their style of play is very physically demanding, because I football is always under the control of Wimbledon, they are passive defensive, and the psychological pressure is also high, which is reflected in the physical condition.

Those fifteen minutes are invaluable for them and they have to recover enough and see what adjustments the manager can make to help them come back to life.

They have all reached the play-off finals, and no one wants to give up the opportunity to be promoted like this.
