JJB Stadium Broadcasting Room.

Mick Williams is looking at the big screen, he can directly see the stadium outside the window of the broadcast room, but the distance is a little far and he can't see clearly, in the big screen, he can see everything clearly, when Zhang Tiehan turned his back and threw off Correa, Williams immediately shouted excitedly, "Zhang got the ball, he got rid of Correa!" ”

Looking at Correa's somewhat helpless expression on his face, Williams was excited.

Immediately after, Zhang Tiehan shot!

"Zhang! He lifts his foot and shoots! Oh......"

Looking at the big screen, the football flew high into the sky, that angle had little to do with the goal at all, Williams sighed regretfully, "It's a pity, it's a little high." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the ball plummet into the goal.

For a moment, Williams was surprised not to react.

After being stunned for a few seconds, watching the number of the stadium scoreboard change, Williams stood up excitedly and hurriedly shouted, "Goal!" Goal！ The ball is in! The ball is in! It's Zhang! Sheet! It's a defoliant ball, my God, I thought the ball was going to fly out of bounds, it was so unexpected......"

"But, the ball went in! Entered! ”

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！”

"A FANTASTIC LONG-RANGE SHOT, FROM OUR HARDMAN – ZHANG—" Wigan fans in the audience cheered as Williams roared.

JJB Stadium reached ** in an instant!

All, all the Wigan fans jumped up from their seats, arms raised and celebrated in any way they could think of, chanting, "Zhang! Sheet! Wigan! Wigan! ”

……

Seeing this goal, Wigan media felt very relieved, many people said before the game that Wigan Athletic had no hope, but now, only halfway through the first half, Wigan Athletic scored the first goal, and they all felt very happy.

Sky TV was responsible for commenting on Cedric's sworn enemy Alfie, who had been in love with Wigan's football since the Chelsea game, and he liked to watch Zhang Tiehan's games, and he felt like he had become a fan of Zhang Tiehan.

But before the game, when he got the information, he felt very bad, all because many people were not optimistic about Wigan Athletic.

Wigan Athletic has no hope;

Wigan Athletic can knock out Bolton Wanderers, unless a miracle happens;

Wigan Athletic will be out of the tournament and they have come so far.

All of the above are comments from various media, Alfi very much hopes that Wigan Athletic can win, he believes in miracles, "Before the game, many media said that Wigan Athletic wants to advance, and can only pray for a miracle, but now, I can say that the miracle is being staged, God, no, it is the Wigan people who are unveiling the mystery of the miracle for us, and we will see the miracle step by step, to see his true face!" ”

Alfi commented on the goal.

'There was one more goal. With just one more score, Wigan Athletic will tie the score, and it seems that a miracle is not far off. ”

yes, not far away. At the very least, Bolton manager Sam Allardyce has felt the urgency.

Bolton hold a two-goal advantage.

The two-goal advantage is a lot in a football game, and the advantage is very big, but when it comes to the game, in fact, there is not much advantage when you think about it, for example, now, the opponent has scored a goal, and there is only one advantage left?

One ball, a lot!?

The Bolton fans were in the same mood as Sam Allardyce as they fell silent as the Wigan fans celebrated their goal.

It's Wigan time, and they can only stare at the pitch and wait for the game to start with concern.

The Bolton players were at a loss - Zhang Tiehan's goal made them not know what to do, the goal was too sudden, receiving the ball and shooting directly at goal, and then it suddenly turned into a leaf ball, and goalkeeper Kevin Poole did not react at all.

There was a lot of luck in scoring like this.

Because of this, it made the Bolton players feel even more sudden, they actually had a certain advantage before, but the opponent suddenly scored. Although they must admit that the number 13's long-range shot was indeed very threatening, the threat does not mean that the goal is scored, and they feel very uneasy when they suddenly score.

They looked in the direction of the coach's box.

Sam Allardyce was no longer in his seat, the faint smile on his face was long gone, and he stood there, looking at the pitch with a solemn expression.

He and his players are well aware that a one-ball advantage may seem like an advantage, but if they are not careful, their advantage will be nullified, and it will be extremely difficult for them to gain an advantage again.

……

on the pitch.

After Zhang Tiehan shot, he looked at the football in annoyance, he saw that the football was about to fly out of the field, and suddenly fell into the opponent's goal, and his face was also dumbfounded.

He didn't expect to score.

Obviously, he didn't play right, but the football went in so weirdly, he was completely unprepared, and he didn't react until his teammates ran over to celebrate.

"Zhang! That's great! ”

"Ha Luha, Zhang! I know you can do it! This ball is so handsome! ”

"Well done, Zhang!"

"One more and we'll be tied!"

All the Wigan Athletic players were very excited, they were celebrating, what it meant to score a goal halfway through the first half.

There's only one goal away!

With just one more goal, they will level the scores, and when they and Everton will be on the same page, they will likely knock out their opponents and march to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which will be a glory to remember for a lifetime.

Everybody knows about it, the players, the coaches, the fans, they know it, so they're happy.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhang Tiehan was also very excited, he didn't expect this ball to go in, it seemed that his luck was not bad, he smiled and waved his fist, "Ha Luha, look!" I said I could score goals! God is behind me! ”

Although this is a balloon, sometimes luck is also a type of strength.

It's hard for him to kick that kind of ball a second time, but one time is enough, one time is a goal, and he's very satisfied.

……

Bolton were annoyed by the goal, they thought they would win easily, but they didn't expect it to be the opponents who scored first, especially their defender Cesar Santos Correa, who felt that the goal was his own fault, and if he hadn't been easily shaken, the number 13 would not have had a chance to shoot.

After the restart, Correa focused more on Zhang.

Whenever Zhang Tiehan ran to the frontcourt, Correa would take the initiative to defend, he kept following Zhang Tiehan, not giving him room to play, he was determined to give Zhang Tiehan a little bit of power.

Such restrictions are effective.

Zhang Tiehan has the ball a little less often, and even if he gets the ball, most of the time Correa has already posted it, and he has to shake off Correa if he wants to shoot or even pass.

So the two began a constant hand-to-hand fight.

When Zhang Tiehan gets the ball at the edge of the penalty area, Correa will follow him, he can only squeeze around with his butt to make room for himself to turn around, Correa gritted his teeth and squeezed, not giving an inch, but on two occasions he was squeezed away by Zhang Tiehan.

At this time, Correa realized the strength of Zhang Tiehan.

He couldn't even stand on his feet, and he had to lean forward to keep his balance. If he was squeezed by the other party like this, he would fall directly to the ground, not to mention how the referee would give a penalty, he Correa was really embarrassed. Even if Correa tried hard, he couldn't let himself lose such a big face.

So when Zhang Tiehan wanted to squeeze him away again, Correa resisted the violent impact and took the initiative to lean forward.

But even so, Correa still couldn't grab the ball, and as a result, he pushed his knee against Zhang Tiehan's thigh, Zhang Tiehan felt a numbness in his leg and almost fell to the ground, Correa took the opportunity to poke the ball away.

The referee's whistle blew shortly afterward.

Correa fouled, and the ball returned to Wigan Athletic, but Zhang Tiehan still didn't get rid of Correa, even if the ball came back, the opportunity was missed.

Correa took the initiative to apologize to Zhang Tiehan, and then returned to the penalty area.

He didn't think so.

Just now, he was purely fighting back for Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Tiehan passed him once, and squeezed himself away again and again, he just used a foul to tell Zhang Tiehan: "Boy, don't think that you can squeeze me away with great strength, you will squeeze people, and I will still squeeze people!" ”

……

In the hand-to-hand combat between the two, Zhang Tiehan took advantage at the beginning, he had more strength, and every time he took the ball to take the initiative.

Gradually, Correa also summed up some experience.

He will not fight Zhang Tiehan hard, but use some other methods to fight, whenever his body can't bear it, he will use time to push Zhang Tiehan's back. If it doesn't work, he will take a step back when Zhang Tiehan is exerting his strength, avoid the head-on confrontation, and take the opportunity to grab the ball. If he can't get the ball, Correa chooses to commit a direct foul.

The two of them have been fighting hand-to-hand like this.

On the other side, Bolton also began to try to play more attacks, they conceded a goal, and only had a goal advantage in their hands, but this goal is quite crucial, if they can score one more goal, Wigan Athletic will not be able to eliminate them even if they score two more.

So scoring goals is quite important for Bolton.

It's just that this is the JJB Stadium, and Jewell was very tight in defense before the game, so it was difficult for them to find good opportunities in a short period of time.

Until the end of the first half, Bolton didn't find much of a good chance, and Wigan Athletic did the same, as they were passive defending, with few attacks, let alone chances.

……

Allardyce hurried back to the locker room.

The break was very important for Bolton Wanderers because he didn't expect the game to play like this, and he has two issues to solve, one is how to score and the other is how to limit the opponent's goals.

How you score goals is still crucial.

Before, they didn't think Zhang Tiehan's goal at Reebok Stadium was of much use, but now this goal has become very crucial, and if Bolton don't score away from home, Wigan Athletic will only need to score another goal to tie the score, and they will be eliminated from the competition.

They had to score a goal to offset that away goal in order to take the initiative.

In addition, we must pay attention to the defense.

In the first half, their defense was solid, but the only thing was the opponent's No. 13 long-range shot, the kind of direct long-range shot that didn't make sense at all, it was difficult to say that it really restricted.

That's a real problem.

After all, the opponent's shot was from outside the penalty area, and it was also a player who was inserted in the back, so it was impossible for Bolton to send someone to mark the whole field, so the tactics would be chaotic.

It's a bit of a trick.

Compared to the bunch of questions in Allardyce's hands, Jeville's mood is very relaxed.

With a 1-0 lead in the first half, he played well both offensively and defensively, which gave his team hope of qualifying.

Jewell praised Zhang Tiehan and asked everyone to continue to play like this in the second half.

At the same time, in the away team's dressing room, there was a solution to the headache for Allardyce, and it was not what he thought of, but Correa took the initiative to step up.

"Sir, let me go on the defensive, I won't give him any chance!" Correa said.

Sam Allardyce looked at Correa, who saw a hand-to-hand fight between Correa and Zhang Tiehan in the final stages of the first half, but didn't pay much attention to it because it was Bolton who was attacking at the time, and his focus was mainly on the team's attack.

But other Bolton players have seen that attacking is a team-wide thing, and some Bolton defenders are more focused on defence.

Zhang Tiehan gave them a headache.

However, Correa was still quite tenacious when defending Zhang Tiehan, at least in the second half of the game, Zhang Tiehan had no chance to perform.

"Sir, Correa must be fine." Others followed.

Allardyce nodded, "Okay, Correa, you should pay more attention to their number 13 in the second half, what you need to be careful about is not to give him a chance to shoot, that player has a single role in attack, as long as he doesn't shoot, there will be no threat." ”

Then Allardyce explained a few other questions, and the time was almost up.

The players walked out of the dressing room in turn, ready for the second half of the game.
