Chapter Twenty-Six: Right Now!

With a comfortable two-goal lead in the first half and the opposition head coach being carried off the pitch, Preston North End players decided that there was nothing left to play in the game and that they would definitely be the winners, the difference was just a few goals.

At half-time, the atmosphere at Preston North End was quite lively.

Some of them are discussing their opponents for the next round, some are discussing tomorrow's holiday, some are discussing whether to celebrate in the evening, but no one is discussing about the match, and they all think that there is no suspense about the match.

The opposing coach is gone, what else is there to play in the game?

They're all pretty relaxed.

The second half of the game was about to begin, and seeing the Derby County players look excited, they didn't take it seriously at all.

They don't think Derby County have a chance to turn the tables around.

……

Many of the Derby County fans in the crowd left early, especially in the east stand, where seats were vacant, and it was clear that they didn't want to see their favourite team lose, so they left the stadium early.

Even the fans who are still in the stadium have little hope for the next game.

They were on the same page as the Preston players, with two goals down in the first half and manager Gregory gone, so what chances could they have in the second half?

Thinking about this, Derby County fans are very sad.

Their team has not won several games in a row, and they have been on the brink of relegation for a long time, hoping for good results, but getting bad news time and time again.

Even if...... It's good to have a win.

But they haven't won a single win in the last month, it's all draws, it's a defeat, and now they're about to face another defeat.

Derby County fans are looking listless, they just want to see a little hope, hope that the team will improve, but what they see now is that the team is getting closer to relegation. Losing this one and they are really going to be in the relegation zone.

Demote...... That's unthinkable.

If you go back to the second division of England, then who knows when the team will be able to rush to the second division again, for a few years? Decades? The devil knows! Before the season, they even had hopes of promotion, but now they have to face the danger of the team's relegation, and this contrast is so big that many fans have the urge to vomit blood when they think about it.

"If you lose this game, you don't know what will happen to the team."

"Maybe it's going to be downgraded......"

"Don't say that! There must be hope for the team, perhaps, that young Chinese can create a miracle? ”

Someone brought it up.

But almost everyone around silently shook their heads, counting on a Chinese assistant coach in his twenties? It would be better to expect God to come to Derbyshire.

Derby County is not a big team, but it is not too small in League One, but now it has fallen to the verge of relegation, which makes fans feel aggrieved when they think about it.

How so?

"Can you just watch the game lose, you can only watch the team relegated?" Someone sadly asked the question, but no one answered.

In this way, everyone sat in their positions, watching the game with blank eyes.

……

Five minutes into the second half.

There were quite a few Derby County fans who returned to the game because they saw a different Derby side than in the first half, which didn't have much defense and seemed to be attacking all the time, constantly attacking.

In five minutes, this is already the fourth wave of attacks, right?

When did the team play such a fast and dangerous attack? Some fans suddenly realized that something was wrong, but they were so focused on watching the game that they didn't think much about it.

But Derby County have a bigger crisis at the back!

It's hard to say whether the attack can break through, but every time Preston attacks, it will make Derby County fans feel a wave of palpitations - they are afraid that Preston will score again, Derby County seems to be unguarded at the back, and every time Preston advances, it is easy to hit the ball into the Derby County penalty area, and then it is likely to be followed by a shot on goal.

The fans were terrified when they saw the game.

Fortunately, Derby County's attack was also good, and they seemed to be alive in attack, and they also scored into the Preston North End box in two consecutive waves.

This is another wave of rapid advancement!

On the left flank, Ferdinnan combined with his team-mates and then moved the ball to the wing, where right midfielder Weberson received the pass and drove forward.

Webelson is a very fast player!

At half-time, Wan Sheng told him to make more use of it, and after breaking through to the bottom line, he looked for opportunities to complete the cross, and Weberson has been trying to do so, but his foot skills are very average, and he was cut off by the opponent just twice.

This time he's still trying to do it.

The opposing player came to intercept, Webelson suddenly saw the opportunity and made a small change of direction to the left, just when the opponent was still about to break through, he directly got up and pumped the ball to the middle of the penalty area!

Many people were stunned.

The referees on the pitch, the players on both sides, the fans in the crowd and the various media did not expect Webelson to complete the pass and pass it very accurately.

But Wansheng didn't.

The reason why he specifically told Weberson and asked the team to play mainly on his right side was to know that his degree and long-range passing ability were not bad.

When he saw Weberson complete the pass, Wan Sheng also stood up suddenly!

He pushed too hard, which startled the players next to him.

At the same moment, in front of the Preston penalty area, the ball had fallen from the sky. When Webelson passed the ball just now, many people were surprised that he could pass the ball, but Ian Taylor didn't, he was always waiting for his chance, and whenever his teammates got up to pass the ball, he would rush into the box.

He always remembered what Wan Sheng said, "Plug in more, and trust your teammates." ”

Now's your chance!

The Preston backline didn't expect Ian Taylor to be so decisive, and they could only watch as Taylor stood on the ball and stopped the ball with one kick.

They hurried to the defensive.

But their reaction was a moment slower after all, and this moment gave Ian Taylor a chance!

That's the opportunity he's been looking for!

He was a little excited.

Not only Taylor, who got the ball, but everyone in the Derby County dugout, as well as all the fans at Pride Park, were excited.

Their attention is all on Taylor!

……

When Taylor made a stop to stop the ball, the on-site commentator Alfer reacted, and he suddenly exclaimed, "Webelson has made a good shot!" Taylor receives a pass in front of the penalty area! ”

His voice is loud.

The fans and media who didn't pay attention to the game also raised their heads at this shout, and they all looked at the stadium in surprise.

The same goes for Derby County fans.

There were also fans who didn't pay attention to the game just now, but with this shout, they noticed that Derby County actually created good chances.

Many people still think that they have seen it wrong.

Although the attack of Derby County in the second half was fierce, it did not create any great chances, and more importantly, they did not think the team could still score. They all waited for the game to be over.

It's true?

They were all quite surprised.

……

On the coach's bench.

Wan Sheng clenched his teeth, his eyes staring motionlessly in front of the Preston penalty area.

Ian Taylor, although he is old, was once a legend at Aston Villa, and as a front-court star, his shooting rating is very good, with a '79' rating value, which is almost at the peak of League One players.

What's more, he also has a firm rating of '81 points'.

Firmness, reflecting a player's mentality of the game, the desire to win, the pursuit of honor, etc. are counted in it, a firm player, even if the strength is a little worse, can often swing very well in the game.

Now that Derby County are two goals behind, in the eyes of many people as a hopeless victory, the 'firm' player with a high rating is more important, which is why Taylor's fitness is a little out of place, but Wan Sheng still hasn't replaced him.

Taylor, I will definitely fight for the team to the end!

Now is the moment!

……

Taylor's situation isn't too good.

He used the time to stop the ball in front of the penalty line and the Preston defenders around him were already pressing, but Taylor was experienced and calm.

He knew it was the perfect opportunity!

After stopping the ball, Taylor opted to take the ball to the left, leaving room for himself to shoot, but then he chose to burst into the box to the left, and the defending Preston players did not expect him to do so, and ended up two positions away from him.

At this moment, Taylor got his feet up!

The ball flew off Taylor's feet, leaped past the Preston goalkeeper and headed straight for the back of goal!

Everyone stared at the ball with wide eyes.

The Preston goalkeeper looked back at the ball and he couldn't stop the shot, hoping that it would go off the line, only to see it smashing into the net against the post.

Time seems to have stopped.

There was a moment of silence at Pride Stadium, and the next moment burst into the loudest cheers since the opening --

Derby County have a goal!

It's really in!

They're only one goal behind!
