Chapter 140: The wonderful cooperation in the front court
The ball that was pushed out by Ridgewell fell directly to Lee Carsley's feet.
Lee Carsley didn't think twice at all, as he immediately swept the ball that rolled towards him sideways to Sebastian Larsson on the wing.
Before Sebastian Larsson could catch the ball, he looked up at the field.
When the football came to him, he first stretched out his foot to stop the football in front of him, and then took a step forward and slammed his leg, and directly passed the ball to the front court with a long kick.
The football flew rapidly towards the sky, like a rainbow in the sky, and flew quickly towards the front court.
Up front, Dongfang Chen and Kevin Phillips were rushing forward when Lee Carsley received the ball.
Of course, Marcus Bent behind them was also unhappy, and he also turned sharply and rushed towards Reading's half, rushing forward to support Dongfang Chen and Kevin Phillips.
In this way, the Birmingham team's counter-attack has layers and makes it more difficult for Reading to parry.
"Fight back! Birmingham's counterattack is coming! Reading is in danger! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately roared loudly.
The ball flew into the front pitch and plunged sharply, and Reading's defenders immediately tensed.
Ivan Engmarsen, the defender of the Reading team, immediately stuck to Dongfang Chen, preventing Dongfang Chen from making a move.
Michael Duberry, on the other hand, is a defender who is ready to deal with any unexpected situation that can arise at any time.
Because it was just a corner kick opportunity for Reading, almost the entire Reading team pressed into the Birmingham City penalty area. Both of Reading's centre-backs pressed up.
In Reading's half, there were only two full-backs left to defend, so the backfield was very empty.
The Reading players were terrified and immediately rushed towards their backfield with all their might, trying to get back to their positions and fill the void in the defence.
"Opportunity! It's a great opportunity for the Birmingham team! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor shouted excitedly.
Ivan Engmarsen immediately pasted Dongfang Chen to prevent Dongfang Chen from making any moves.
However, the physical gap between the two is obvious, as a fullback, Ivan Engmarsen's physical strength is indeed much worse than Dongfangchen.
Dongfang Chen immediately squeezed his body back, and Ivan Engmarsen's body immediately popped back a step.
At this time, Dongfang Chen saw the football in the sky falling, his bolted leg kicked suddenly, and his body rose rapidly as if it was equipped with a rocket booster.
Below, Ivan Engmarsen looked up at Dongfang Chen at this time, with an incredible look on his face.
At this time, Dongfang Chen was so high that only Ivan Engmason looked up.
High! Dongfang Chen, this guy really jumped too high!
It's too late for Ivan Engelmarsen to jump again at this time, can he only watch Dongfang Chen like this?
No, Ivan Ngomarsen saw that it was impossible, he immediately stepped back, he didn't care about Dongfangchen, he went to increase the thickness and width of the backline.
Ivan Engmarsen had to go back, otherwise Michael Duberry would be the only one left in the backline, and the situation was very dangerous, so he decided to step back and assist Michael Dubury.
"Shhh Seeing Dongfang Chen jumping up, the Birmingham pair of fans on the scene immediately shouted loudly, and what they are most unaccustomed to now is Dongfang Chen's megalomaniac.
This guy was ranting before the game, shouting who is Kevin Doyle? The arrogant look that no one put in anyone's eyes made all Reading fans very disgusted, even hated.
Therefore, the fans of the Reading team spontaneously organized before the game, and once Dongfang Chen got the ball in the game, they immediately greeted Dongfang Chen with a tsunami-like boo, so that Dongfang Chen, an arrogant guy, knew that they knew how powerful their Reading fans were.
In the tsunami-like boos of the Reading fans, Dongfang Chen jumped high, standing proudly in the air like a god in the sky, shaking his head to meet the ball, and rubbing his head back.
"Dongfang Chen, head back!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately shouted excitedly, very excited.
The ball immediately scurried to the side, Kevin Phillips.
"It's dangerous! Kevin Phillips slashed forward, without any defenders around him, and Reading was in danger! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared with excitement.
The Reading fans immediately became nervous, and they all clasped their backs and stared closely at the stadium.
Reading full-back Michael Dubury was quick and immediately lunged down on Kevin Phillips to intercept him.
Ivan Engmarsen, who retreated, continued to retreat, defending in the middle and making Reading's defence layered, and if both guys pounced, wouldn't the middle and left wings be completely empty?
Kevin Phillips saw Michael Dubury pounce on him, and he didn't make any feints to catch up with the football, and directly knocked the football sideways.
The ball quickly rolled past Michael Dubury and into the middle of the pitch.
"Kevin Phillips didn't come by himself, he crossed the ball across the middle & Dongfangchen!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray growled.
Yes, Kevin Phillips passed the football to Dongfang Chen, who was scrambling to catch up after the header was back.
Ivan Engelmarsen retreated in the middle, so Dongfang Chen, who was inserted forward, was in a vacancy, Kevin Phillips's pass was not very accurate, as long as the football was passed to an approximate position in this area, Dongfang Chen was able to take the football down.
This ball, Kevin Phillips also passed very well, very accurately, and the football came to Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen caught the football, and at this time he had come to the front of the Reading team's big penalty area.
"Pounce! Don't let him get up and shoot from a distance! Suddenly, on the sidelines, Reading's manager Stephen Capel thought of something and immediately leaned forward and roared loudly into the pitch.
In fact, it didn't take Stephen Kapel's angry shouts to Ivan Engmarsen to pounce like crazy.
Before the game, Reading also watched the game video of the Birmingham team, and everyone knew that Dongfang Chen's long-range shot was very powerful, which was simply a must.
When in the dressing room, Reading's head coach Stephen Capel also repeatedly reminded Reading's defenders to pay attention to Dongfang Chen, and never let this guy have a long-range shot at the edge of the penalty area.
Ivan Engmarsen kept this qiē in mind, and when he saw that Dongfang Chen was about to get the ball at the front of the big penalty area, Ivan Engmarsen didn't say a word, and directly pounced frantically, stepped forward to interfere with Dongfang Chen, and did not give Dongfang Chen a chance to shoot from a distance.
Dongfang Chen actually did have the intention of shooting from a distance before receiving the ball, because this gap was still relatively large, which was enough for him to shoot from a distance.
However, before he could get the football, Reading defender Ivan Engmarsen immediately pounced and pounced on him frantically, compressing the void in front of him.
Before receiving the ball, Dongfang Chen knew that he had no chance to shoot from a distance, and Dongfang Chen immediately changed his mind and thought about what to do next? Breakthrough?
At this time, a voice came from behind Dongfang Chen: "Hey! East! ”
Hearing this voice, Dongfang Chen's eyes immediately lit up, and Dongfang Chen's heart immediately thought of a way.
When the football rolled in front of him, Dongfang Chen did not choose to stop the ball, but suddenly stretched out his leg and pushed the football towards his diagonal left front.
So everyone was shocked at the scene!
And Ivan Engelmason, who rushed out wildly, was even more shocked, he didn't expect Dongfang Chen to make such a choice.
The ball raced past Ivan Engmarsen and towards the penalty area behind him.
Ivan Engelmasson was shocked, did this Chinese kid want to have a ball split?
Nima, this guy is too arrogant, he despises himself so much, and he still comes to share the ball? Do you really think my brother is a fool?
This is outside the forbidden area, not in the forbidden area, will my brother let you pass? Idiot!
Ivan Engmarsen has already made up his mind to pay attention to the foul, and the foul here is at most a yellow card, and it is worth it!
However, at this moment, a person rushed out from behind Dongfang Chen and quickly slanted towards Dongfang Chen's left front.
"Marcus! Marcus Bent! It's Marcus Bent! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray suddenly roared with excitement.
Ivan Engmarsen didn't even see a Birmingham attacking player behind Dongfangchen, he was not prepared for this, he was about to foul Dongfangchen at this time, he didn't notice Marcus Bent who suddenly rushed out.
The fast Marcus Bent sprinted like a white lightning bolt past Ten Thousand Engomarsen, and scurried towards the ball that was slowly rolling into the Reading penalty area.
"Single knife! Birmingham team is single-handed! Marcus Bent has a one-handed shot! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor roared with excitement.
"Dongfang Chen's wonderful biography! Marcus Bent's one-on-one knife! Great opportunity for Birmingham team! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was very excited at this time, he really didn't expect the Birmingham team to play such a beautiful combination up front.
Two of Reading's defenders were simply played by the Birmingham players and didn't even touch the shadow of the ball.
The faces of the Reading fans in the stadium changed greatly, and all of them showed frightened looks on their faces, very nervous.
Marcus Bent was very fast and caught up with the ball in a few steps past Ivan Engelmarsen.
Single Knife! Marcus Bent has a one-handed shot!
Reading goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann sprinted out of goal and raced towards Marcus Bent, who was holding the ball in the corner of the box.
"Strike! Marcus Hahneman has struck! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray suddenly roared with great excitement.
Marcus Bent saw Marcus Hahneman rushing out, and he immediately leaned his body towards his right front and swung his right leg to the ball hard.
"Marcus Bent shoots!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared loudly, startling Reading fans.
Reading's goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann immediately pounced sideways and fell onto the turf, stretching his body out as much as he could to block the larger area.
"Marcus Hahnemann fell to the ground and pounced, wow, he reacted very quickly!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor immediately roared loudly, making the Reading fans in the stadium suddenly full of confidence.
