Chapter 16: Assist Hat-trick!
After the players of the fifth team chose to trust Chen Lin instead of Bruin, the situation on the field quietly changed. The players of the fifth team are no longer willing to be suppressed by the sixth team, and they finally start to try to take the initiative to attack.
Chen Lin is different from Bruin, Bruin's speed is fast, his foot skills are outstanding, and he is a very suitable player to play a quick counterattack, while Chen Lin does not have Bruin's outstanding individual ability, whether it is in defense or offense, Chen Lin needs the support of his teammates.
The players of the fifth team gave Chen Lin the support he needed, first of all, this was manifested in the defensive aspect, Chen Lin finally did not have to face Todd and Shakody alone, and the players of the fifth team took the initiative to move closer to Chen Lin's side and tried to assist him.
With the help of their teammates, Todd and Shakody no longer had the opportunity to tease Chen Lin. In fact, even if they still have a chance, they don't dare to tease Chen Lin anymore, Chen Lin's ultra-long-distance goal has made Todd and Shakody lose the courage to tease Chen Lin!
If they weren't deliberately trying to tease Chen Lin, how could they let Chen Lin seize the opportunity to shoot from a long distance?
Todd and Shakody's hearts were bitter, they could finally take revenge on Chen Lin happily, but they didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end. Not only did they fail to tease Chen Lin, but they were put on a move by Chen Lin, allowing him to seize a chance to break the door.
Although Todd and Shakody were largely responsible for conceding the goal this time, who would have thought that Chen Lin would be able to break their sixth team's goal at the back......
Todd and Shakody suffered repeatedly on Chen Lin's body, but fortunately, the game was not completely over, and the sixth team still had the lead in the score, and Todd and Shakody still had a chance to get back on the field.
As long as the sixth team finally defeats the fifth team, no matter what kind of magical performance he Chen Lin has in the game, he can only be regarded as a loser in front of Todd and Shakodi!
With that in mind, Todd and Shakody were not discouraged, they were more active than before, with most of the Sixth team's attacks coming from their left flank.
However, as soon as the fighting spirit was rekindled, Todd and Shacody were in huge trouble. Another thing they didn't expect was that Chen Lin began to have high hopes from the players of the fifth team after completing a goal.
The left side of Todd and Shakody is the right side of the fifth team, since the players of the fifth team chose to believe in Chen Lin, then of course they also concentrated their main forces on the right side where Chen Lin is located, Todd and Shakody's attack on the left side encountered unprecedented sniping.
Todd wasn't the kind of player who was too good at it, and Shakody's best as a left-back was not attacking, and under the heavy interception of the players of the fifth team, Todd and Shakody couldn't even play football to the fifth half like they did in the first half.
This is not the most troublesome for the two of them, the most troublesome thing is that most of the fifth team's attacks are also launched from their side.
Todd and Shakody fell into passivity all of a sudden, and the passivity of the two of them directly led to the passivity of the entire sixth team. The sixth team seemed to be accustomed to finding a breakthrough on the left flank, and when that breach was blocked by the fifth team, they suddenly became like headless flies and could no longer find any effective way to attack......
After all, this is just a major soccer draft game, and the players participating in the game are all young players who are cobbled together, their tactical literacy is not as high as that of professional players, and they don't have professional coaches to guide them on the sidelines.
The sixth team's style of play suddenly became chaotic, and they chose to go toe-to-toe with the fifth team on the left flank, which was obviously quite unwise, and the morale of the fifth team who had just pulled a goal back was high, while the players on the sixth team side were a little overwhelmed.
With that happening, the fifth team regained the initiative of the game, and they played well on the right flank. Although Chen Lin's personal skills are not outstanding, his foundation is very good, and Chen Lin is comfortable with his teammates.
Chen Lin did not act like a layman from the rugby league at all, and even the players of the fifth team had the illusion that Chen Lin was a professional footballer.
Playing with Chen Lin makes the players of the fifth team feel very comfortable, he will not stick to the ball too much, no matter what position his teammates run, Chen Lin seems to be able to pass the football to the feet of his teammates with precision.
In the rest of the game, Chen Lin did not make a single passing error, and the football was never lost from his feet, he was like a lubricant for the fifth team, making the entire fifth team's attack relatively fluid.
A fluid attack is always very threatening for the opposition, especially with a Salgado in the fifth team.
Chen Lin's standing up made Salgado also usher in his spring, Salgado and Chen Lin's training for three consecutive days was not in vain, and a certain tacit understanding was formed between him and Chen Lin.
In the ninth minute after Chen Lin scored, the fifth team's attack hit the front of the sixth team's penalty area, Chen Lin took the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and he gently flicked the football with the outside instep, and directly raised the high ball, and passed the football accurately to the back point.
Salgado jumped high and headed the ball into the sixth team's goal, and the fifth team tied the score at 2:2!
The equaliser gave the fifth team more confidence to their players, who played better and better until the last fifteen minutes of the game, when the fifth team formed an absolute pressure on the sixth team!
The players of the sixth team have serious problems both in terms of tactics and mentality, and the players of the fifth team will certainly not give up the opportunity to chase after the victory.
In the last fifteen minutes of the game, Chen Lin sent another exquisite assist to Salgado, and twice, with Salgado's two goals, the final score of the fifth and sixth teams was locked at 4:2!
Salgado scored a hat-trick in the game, while Chen Lin scored a goal and also completed a hat-trick of assists, and he assisted all three of Salgado's goals!
The fans and reporters in the stands would not have thought that the fifth team would have achieved a reversal in the second half of the game, and what they did not expect was that the key figure in the fifth team's reversal was actually Chen Lin, who was considered a traitor to the rugby league.
Isn't he a professional rugby player, and why is he more of a professional footballer in this game? Is Chen Lin really going to be a member of Major League Soccer?
Although they didn't want to believe it, the fans had to admit that Chen Lin's performance in this game conquered them.
Originally, the fifth team was at a disadvantage on the field, and at the beginning of the second half, they didn't even see the slightest chance of winning, but Chen Lin's ultra-long-distance goal completely changed the situation of the game, and that goal became the turning point of the whole game.
It was with this goal that the players of the fifth team began to try to believe Chen Lin, and it turned out that Chen Lin did not disappoint his teammates, he helped Salgado complete a hat trick, and finally helped the fifth team win the game!
At the moment when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, all the players of the fifth team rushed to Chen Lin and Salgado excitedly, two players who were once excluded by them, but finally saved the fifth team and the hope of other players in the fifth team to become professional players.
John Rooney looked at the players of the fifth team who were excitedly celebrating the victory, and there was a huge sense of frustration, he scored two goals in this game, which is actually quite good, but compared to Chen Lin and Salgado, his performance is nothing.
John Rooney felt the pressure in the United States for the first time, as a British player, John Rooney had a little superiority in the MLS draft, but in this game, Chen Lin and Salgado tore all his superiority to shreds together.
John Rooney is suddenly full of expectations for life in Major League Soccer, and it seems that American football is not as bad as he thought......
While John Rooney was both a little disappointed and a little expectant, another player who attracted more attention in this game had quietly left the field, and he was Bruin.
If John Rooney's performance in this game was barely reasonable, then Bruin's performance was a mess, he could be said to have done nothing for the entire 90 minutes of the game, especially in the 33 minutes after Chen Lin's goal, Bruin did not even receive a pass from his teammates.
Bruin, who had been trying to isolate Chen Lin and Salgado, ended up being isolated by his teammates in this game. Bruin didn't have the face to stay on the court, so he had to quietly leave the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium while his teammates were still celebrating.
The victory in this game belongs to Chen Lin, to Salgado, to the fifth team, but not to him Bruin......
