Chapter Eighty-Eight: It's Just Bullying You for Being Short!
The Krewe team's counterattack played very well, fast attack, coordination, rush, everything, but when it came to the goal, the pass was weak, and it was directly intercepted by the defenders of Wigan Athletic.
Looking at this pass, Graddy was very depressed.
His front-court players are really a little poor in their individual ability, but he can't help it, the strength of the team is like this, the attack has always been Crewe's weakness, that is, with defense, he can keep the team in the middle of the League One.
Defense, it's still good.
Looking at the front court, Tikina, who followed the opponent's No. 13 in the audience, Graddy was somewhat relieved.
A point against a team like Wigan Athletic is acceptable, and even though it's a home game, Chelsea have lost at home to Wigan Athletic, so it's nothing unusual for his side and a draw is good enough.
Graddy's goals are not high.
But Wigan Athletic didn't want to play a draw, they were already scared of a draw, and in the first 23 rounds, they played a record of 13 wins, 9 draws and 1 loss, and were unbeaten in 22 consecutive rounds...... What a great result, it's a dream, but because of nine draws, they didn't even finish in the top five.
In their opinion, there is no difference between a draw and a loss.
Zhang Tiehan doesn't want to lose, he still wants to score, he had a physical problem a while ago, after a period of rest, this is the first game of his 'comeback', he is now full of strength, so he must score.
Yes, it is a must!
Zhang Tiehan stared at the little man next to him and thought to himself.
There was not much pressure at the back, so he simply stood in front of the team, acting as the team's pinnacle, and waited for his teammates to slowly control the ball and attack, he was a little slower and moved around the big penalty area, only at this time Crewe's dense defensive formation was lined up again.
Glancing at the other party's formation, Zhang Tiehan felt a little helpless.
From this you can see that the opposition defensively is stronger than his own team, at least the players are in a good formation when executing defensive tactics, and he doesn't find any chances at all.
Of course...... And this nasty little man.
Disgusting people.
Wigan Athletic then launched a wave of attacks, with Riddle splitting the ball down the flank, and after completing a one-two with Makalocchi, the ball was handed to Riddle's feet.
At this time, he was standing on the right side.
The opponent had players come up to grab the ball, Ridell flicked the ball and gave himself time to observe, and then he saw Zhang Tiehan at the front of the penalty area.
"Here, Andy!" Zhang Tiehan also shouted.
Ridell picked the ball over!
β¦β¦
Tikina didn't know what Zhang Tiehan said to his teammates when his side attacked just now, and he still insisted on following Zhang Tiehan, sticking to him to prevent him from getting the ball easily.
Seeing him raise his hand in demand, Tikina hurriedly looked over.
It was Andy Riddle, he knew this player, the coach had said before the game, that it was Wigan Athletic's best midfielder, and the pass must have been accurate, and sure enough, the opponent passed the ball.
Tikina's position is not suitable for intercepting passes, so he plans to stick to Zhang Tiehan and wait for him to get the ball to find an opportunity to steal, otherwise he can't give him a chance to shoot with his feet.
But Tikina didn't expect the opponent to pick up the ball!
What's going on?
Tikina was stunned, and when Zhang Tiehan's chest stopped the ball at his feet, he was still a little confused, but he felt a force in his chest that made him take a step back, and took advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Tiehan turned around and completed the shot.
Touch!
It was a powerful volley that slashed across the penalty area and sent the Crewe fans in the crowd exclaiming, only to be swept over the crossbar and out of bounds.
Zhang Tiehan secretly said that it was a pity, and Tikina also exhaled.
Careless!
Tikina was a little annoyed, if he hadn't been stunned just now, it would have been impossible for the other party to kick...... But think about it, this is not correct, the opponent just stopped the ball with his chest, turned and volleyed, even if he was prepared, he couldn't prevent it at all.
The main thing is that he can't squeeze the other party.
"It was just a mistake." Tikina thought about it, and continued to defend, a mistake was inevitable, at least the opponent did not score.
β¦β¦
Due to Crewe's passive defense, Wigan Athletic's formation was very forward, they almost completed the defense in the opponent's half, and the football played to the midfield at most, and as soon as this wave of attack ended, the next wave of attack came.
It's still Riddle.
However, this time on the left, Ridell passed the ball to Barnes, who crossed directly with his feet, and Zhang Tiehan rushed to the penalty area on the other side and pressed Tikina to complete the header.
Zhang ...... Shot! β
"It's a pity, the top of this ball is a little off......"
Zhang Tiehan touched his head in annoyance, stretched out his hand to his teammates, and signaled that it was his fault, he rushed forward a little just now, failed to hit the force, and the direction was a little crooked.
However, the header was still dangerous.
"Zhang! He had two strikes in three minutes! β
'In the previous games, we noticed that Zhang had very few chances and he was closely defended by a small man from the opposition, but now it seems that he is in good form, with two quality shots on goal in three minutes.
It's just a pity that there was no goal......
Zhang Tiehan also wanted to score a goal very much, and when the attack was over, he shouted to his teammates, "Kick like this!" Everyone else nodded, two attacks, two shots, and they all knew what to do next.
Pass the high ball!
The opponent's defense of Zhang Tiehan is very tight, the little man's defense is very strong, and he follows very closely, but he is short, and it is impossible to compete with Zhang Tiehan, who is more than 20 centimeters taller than him, for the high-altitude ball no matter what.
Sure enough, the next offense went a lot smoother.
Tikina originally thought that his defense was not bad, as long as he was serious, the opponent would not have too many chances, but where did he think that the next time the opponent passed the ball to Zhang Tiehan, it would be a high ball, and he would not be able to grab that kind of ball even if he stood in a good position.
Especially after five minutes, an attack by the opponent directly made Tikina feel powerless-
In front of the penalty area, the opponent picked the ball over, it was a very weak high ball, Zhang Tiehan used the top of his head to stop the ball, but seeing Tikina in front of him, the stop ball may be snatched down, as a result, he pushed hard to the top, and then ran over, and then continued to top down......
Three times in a row!
At this time, Zhang Tiehan had already run into the penalty area, the opponent seemed to be unable to see it, and two players ran over to defend together, but Zhang Tiehan pushed the ball to the left side, where Ellington happened to arrive, and unguarded completed a small angle push.
The ball is in!
βGOALοΌ Nathan - Ellington - "
In a corner of the stands, 2,000 Wigan fans immediately shouted to celebrate the goal, and Zhang Tiehan also ran over to hug Ellington in celebration, "Ha Lu Ha, Nathan, well done!" β
"Your passing is fantastic!" Ellington was much shy.
Zhang Tiehan laughed, "Hahaha, this is my first assist!" 'He's excited, it's his first assist in the team, and although the offense is more important, he's never had an assist before, and that feeling is better than a goal.
β¦β¦
Wigan Athletic cheered and celebrated the goal, and in comparison, the Crewe team who were scored didn't feel very good, especially Tikina, who felt terrible!
Damn, it's not cool!
As a football player, in fact, height is not a problem, in addition to some disadvantages of high ball, short players, on the contrary, will be very flexible, and those outstanding football players in history, many are not tall, such as Maradona, he is only one meter six or eight, such as Romario, he is also only one meter six or seven, relying on flexibility, relying on skills of outstanding players, generally not too tall, only in this way the body will be flexible.
Now in the world of football, players around 1.65 meters abound, but Tikina has never cared about his height as much as he does at this moment.
The guy ...... It's bullying yourself for being short!
Yes definitely!
Thinking about the fact that just now, the opponent entered the penalty area with his head on the ball, but he was unable to do anything next to him, and Tikina had a depressed urge to vomit blood.
When the game restarted, the roles of Zhang Tiehan and Tikina seemed to have changed, and Tikina still followed Zhang Tiehan, but at the same time he gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Tiehan, as if Zhang Tiehan had a deep hatred with him.
Zhang Tiehan was seen hairy......
However, just now Zhang Tiehan has proved with practical actions that eyes cannot kill people, even in football games, the role of eyes is pitifully limited, at least Zhang Tiehan can't get rid of Tikina's defense with his eyes.
It's not very useful for Tikina to do it now.
Wigan Athletic then began to pass high balls into the box, and they almost found a chance to pass the ball, and finally towards the end of the first half, Zhang Tiehan took advantage of a free kick opportunity in front of the field and rushed to the line of the small box to head the ball in.
"The ball is in! It's Zhang! β
'He scored the second goal for Wigan Athletic! Two to zero! Pretty! It seems that Zhang is in great shape in the game, and the team of Crewe has nothing good to do with him......"
After scoring the goal, Zhang Tiehan did not forget about Tikina.
He stared at the top of Tikina's head with a 'friendly' smile on his face that seemed to say, "Boy, I'm just bullying you for being short!" β
