The Bolton players were thinking about the free-kick.

It's amazing to have a direct volley from 30 meters, they are professional players, and they know how much force that kind of ball requires, which is not at all something that ordinary players can kick, just look at Kevin Poole's reaction to see how dangerous this is.

They were scared!

This goal is really almost scored, if the opponent has a little more luck and the football is a little more deflected, it must be a goal.

Bolton fans thought the same way, seeing that the ball did not score, they secretly called for luck, and at the same time began to cheer for Bolton, but the JJB stadium only sold 3,000 seats for Bolton fans, and their cheers looked a little pitiful in front of more than 20,000 Wigan fans.

Wigan fans were also sorry for the shot, but they were more excited.

That ball, it's cool to watch!

This is Zhang, it's our HARDMAN, Wigan's real man, it's so cool to look at such a direct shot, and you are scared without looking at the other party?

They shouted from the stands, "Zhang, one more kick!" ”

"Shoot through them!"

"Let them know that it's amazing!"

They were excited when they thought about the shot just now, and other people, including those reporters, were also a lot of spirit, Zhang Tiehan's shot was not only a threat ball, but also made everyone in the audience raise their spirits, the game just now was not very tense, Zhang Tiehan's sudden strong long-range shot made everyone think that this was the League Cup semi-finals, and the two teams would not play home, they were fighting to the death.

……

The manager thinks a little more than the fans and the players.

For the goal just now, Jewell has some regrets, if he can score a goal quickly, Wigan Athletic's situation is much better, but the ball didn't score, and he can't do anything.

Bad luck......

Jewell sighed in his heart, and then took the opportunity to tell the players on the field to pass the ball to Zhang Tiehan more, if he could have a few more shots like this, the goal would be close at hand.

Needless to say, after watching this shot, Wigan Athletic players know what to do, in fact, a large part of their tactics rely on Zhang Tiehan's long-range shot to make up for the lack of attack, and the shot just now also made them full of confidence in Zhang Tiehan's long-range shot.

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce, on the other hand, is a little worried.

The shot just now, the past is gone, and he doesn't have to think about the past, but in the shot just now, Allardyce saw the threat.

Yes, threats.

He originally thought that it would be enough to defend solidly, but the shot just now reminded him of the goal at Reebok Stadium, the young man's No. 13 goal.

The young No. 13 has a good long-range shooting technique, Allardyce is still very clear, but he originally thought it was just an ordinary good at it, just like Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, he is also good at long-range shots, but with ten shots like that, it would be good to score one, and Allardyce didn't think it would be any threat.

But now it's a similar long-range shot, full of power and tricky angles...... The threat of such a long-range shot is too great.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

This number 13, the position of this game is similar to that of the back midfielder, every time he inserts it very late, he can't let the players limit it at all, if he does this, his own side of the formation will be disrupted, and it will definitely outweigh the losses.

"It's just luck...... It can't be a ball like this every time. Allardyce thought. There is no way to make big adjustments in time, he can only say this to himself.

But this was just his self-comforting......

The Wigan Athletic players are very aware of Zhang Tiehan's long-range shooting ability, and they know that the kick just now is not a piece of luck, and anyone who hears the sound of 'bumping' at the training ground every day probably won't look at it that way.

They knew Zhang Tiehan's long-range shooting ability, and they were used to it, and when they saw the shot just now, they knew that Zhang Tiehan was in good shape.

Since he's in good shape, let's pass the ball more!

That's what everyone thinks.

In fact, this idea made several attacking players feel very relaxed, under the pressure of Bolton, they knew that they and the team had to score, and now passing the ball to Zhang Tiehan is equivalent to transferring some of the pressure, they all thought, "We have Zhang, what are we afraid of?" ”

So in the next game, there were some changes, and this change happened in Wigan Athletic's attack.

In the previous games, Wigan Athletic pressed very high in order to get opportunities, as long as the football was in the Bolton half, they kept looking for opportunities to pass the ball forward, whether it was in the middle or on both wings, the purpose of the players was to get the ball closer to the goal, so as to look for good opportunities.

But now that's changing.

Wigan Athletic's advancing attack did not seem to be in a hurry to get the ball into the box, but rather pushed slowly, the ball passed at the feet of several attacking players, and when Zhang Tiehan stepped in, they immediately passed the ball.

Faced with such an attacking method, Bolton didn't know what to do for a while.

They have to maintain a formation when defending, it is impossible to divide too many players to rush forward to grab the ball, the further back the position, the denser the formation, but the opponent does not attack, and they don't know whether they should come forward to grab it.

When Zhang Tiehan plugged in, Bolton often had five or six Wigan Athletic players in the half, Bolton scattered the defense, and when Zhang Tiehan received the ball, there were only one or two defenders around him at most, which was why Bolton paid great attention to Zhang Tiehan's defense.

is not restricted to the ball route, Zhang Tiehan can easily get the ball, as long as he has the opportunity to choose to shoot directly.

Twenty meters, twenty-five meters, thirty meters......

Almost all positions near the entire exclusion zone can be his 'battery firing point'.

……

Kevin Poole thinks he's a great goalkeeper.

Born in Blomsgrove, he became Aston Villa's first-choice goalkeeper at the age of 21 and has played 20 seasons in England's top flight this year, from Aston Villa to Middlesbrough, to Hartlepool United, Leicester, Birmingham City and now Bolton, he is 41 years old, but he is still Bolton's first-choice goalkeeper, and he believes he can fight for a few more seasons.

In football, there are too few veterans like him.

Almost all the professional players in the same period have retired, but he, Kevin Poole, is still fighting on the world's top stage with his calm performance and rich experience.

But now, Kevin Poole suddenly finds himself old.

Facing the opponent's No. 13, one by one heavy artillery shots, he felt that he was a little slow to react, just two balls, he didn't react at all, if it wasn't for the opponent's shot a little off, the goal would have been lost.

Kevin Poole is not reconciled!

It was another attack from Wigan Athletic, with Makalocchi and Kenedy switching positions on the wing, and after a one-two, Makalocchi cut to the middle and knocked the ball back to Zhang Tiehan with a beautiful heel.

The football arrived at the feet of Zhang Tiehan.

"Zhang!" Seeing Zhang Tiehan take the ball, Williams yelled.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan was about thirty-one meters away from the goal, and there was almost no hesitation, Zhang Tiehan immediately picked up his right foot after stopping the ball.

The Bolton players didn't have time to defend for a while.

"Bang!"

The sound of a thunderous crash resounded through the JJB Stadium, and in the noisy stadium, the sound of the ball touching the feet was so clear that even the audience was silent for a moment.

Another long-range shot!

The football was like a white lightning bolt, rushing towards the Bolton gate.

In the penalty area, Anseni Barnes watched the ball fly by, and he tried to block it with his body, but as soon as he jumped, he saw that the football had already flown past him.

He subconsciously turned his head to look over.

The flight path of the football is quite straight, there is no arc at all, it just flies straight forward, directly banging the Bolton goal, Barnes looked at the ball and exhaled for a moment, he believed that the experienced Kevin Poole could save the ball.

But what Barnes didn't know was that this was a pretty big test for goalkeeper Poole.

Just the first few times he pounced, he already felt a pain in his fist.

He was brave and strong...... But he couldn't help but feel some pain in his fists, he thought about the feeling of hitting the ball with his fists just now, and he was a little afraid, but the football flew over again, and he could only roar and rush out of the ball from the front of the goal.

"Ah!!h

Kevin Poole slammed the ball away with both fists, and then he looked straight ahead with a hideous look on his face, his eyes pointing at Zhang Tiehan.

That expression...... It's vicious!

But in fact, Poole is cheering himself up with his expression!

From the beginning of the game to the present, he has knocked away Zhang Tiehan's three long-range shots, only three ...... But now he feels a little numb in both fists, and if he tries a few more times, he doesn't know if he can hold on. He thought of the last time at Reebok Stadium, the opponent's last goal, and the few long shots he had just had not reacted to.

Are you really old?

Kevin Poole secretly lamented that maybe it was time for him to retire, or at least leave the top game, and he really felt a little overwhelmed here.

……

Kevin Poole was still sighing secretly, but the danger of the goal came again.

This time it was a tactical corner for Wigan Athletic, and after Kenedy took a corner, Makalocchi wanted to cross from the wing, just in time to see Zhang Tiehan standing on the other side with his hand raised.

"Here!" Zhang Tiehan shouted.

Makalocchi looked in that direction and shook his head secretly, the distance was a little far, he couldn't pass it at all, and as soon as Zhang Tiehan raised his hand, the Bolton player next to him immediately became much more cautious.

Seeing that there was no chance, Makalocchi handed the ball to Barnes, who raised his foot and rubbed the ball in the direction of Zhang Tiehan.

The moment Zhang Tiehan passed the ball at Barnes, the 'see through' had been launched, he rushed out directly, and the Bolton player next to him reacted half a beat slowly, but he didn't keep up, and when Zhang Tiehan stopped the ball with his chest, he just followed, but Zhang Tiehan had already protected the ball with his body, and then suddenly poked the ball back, and directly turned around and chased after it in three or two steps.

The Bolton player had just stopped, and before he could stand firmly, he didn't have time to react, so he could only watch Zhang Tiehan chase the ball.

"Zhang has lost Correa!" Williams shouted.

On the Wigan Athletic coach's seat, Jewell also squinted his eyes and nodded with satisfaction, "Zhang's ability to get rid of it has improved very quickly. ”

St Brown next to him also said, "Yes, Zhang is in training......"

He didn't have time to finish, the two stood up at the same time, looked nervously at the Bolton penalty area, and saw that Zhang Tiehan chose to shoot directly after getting rid of Correa!

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound.

But the sound was softer than before, Zhang Tiehan hurriedly failed to kick the ball, he kicked to the edge of the football, and the side of his foot collided with the football.

The moment he shot, Zhang Tiehan was a little annoyed.

The soccer ball had already rushed out of the air, no less fast than the shot just now, and strangely, the ball spun a little in the air and fell sharply as it flew to the highest point.

Kevin Poole in front of the goal was a lot more cautious when Zhang Tiehan got the ball, he kept staring at Zhang Tiehan, staring at the ball at his feet, watching the football rise high, he judged that the football would fly out of bounds, where did he think that the football would suddenly fall?

Kevin just stood in front of the door, not responding at all.

At the same time, the football has fallen, straight to the upper right corner of the goal, and the big camera on the scene also pointed to Bolton in front of the goal, and the only thing Kevin can do to keep up with the football route is his eyes, he stood there and didn't move, just watched the football fall into the upper right corner of the goal, as if enjoying a beautiful picture.

Ball...... Entered!?

The Bolton players didn't even react for a while, not only them, but the referee was also stunned for a moment, he just judged that the football was out of bounds, and thought it was a goal kick, but he didn't expect the football to go in like this, and reacted, he immediately whistled to signal that the goal was valid.

It was only then that the stadium erupted in cheers and tsunami cheers.
