Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Whistle Doesn't Blow, The Battle Continues
Gao Yuan has never been like this in his life, hoping that time will pass soon.
Under the nervousness, his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't even shout to cheer.
At this moment, he clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, like a diarrhea patient waiting in line for the toilet, his body was rickety, his muscles were twisted, and he was drenched in sweat. He kept praying in his heart: Hold on! Hold on a little longer! Persistence is victory·····
The two sides fighting on the court have also entered the final moment of fighting. Both sides have completely given up the midfield scramble, except for the goalkeeper of the Modu Sanjin team, the rest of the people are all pressed to the half of Quancheng Saturday, long passes, high and high.
The home team behind, crazy kick-offs, crosses, attacks; The leading away team plays with destruction, clearance, and defense.
The ball flew around in front of the penalty area, spinning around and looking ready to fly into the net at any moment, but never into the net.
In the suffocating scramble, 3 minutes have arrived. The referee frequently looks at his watch and may blow the final whistle of the game at any time.
In the final moments of the game, the three gold medals won the final corner.
This is their last chance.
Almost all the players on both sides squeezed into the penalty area, and even Da Liu, the goalkeeper of the Modu Sanjin team, also came to the opponent's penalty area to prepare for the battle.
The court, which had been noisy all the time, was strangely quiet at this moment. Everyone held their breath and fixed their eyes on the ball that was about to be released.
The server makes tactical gestures, observes, runs, and kicks.
The ball arced and flew towards the crowded penalty area.
In the forbidden area, there was a shortage of soldiers.
Squeezing, scrambling, slotting····· The hands are tearing each other, and the feet are strangled together,
If it is strictly defined, at this time everyone's actions are suspected of fouling, but no one complains, no one shouts, and both sides use all their energy and last strength on the flying ball.
In the face of the flying ball, several figures jumped high at the same time, either hitting or hitting or shaking their heads, all trying their best to change the direction of the ball.
Watch the ball fly towards the penalty area. Gao Yuan's heart, like everyone else on and off the field, was momentarily stagnant. Everyone knew it was going to be a fateful ball. But as the coach of the Spring City Saturday team, Gao Yuan knows better than anyone that the defense of the high-altitude ball is the lifeblood of his amateur team.
"Top out, top out, top out·····" Gao Yuan muttered unconsciously and stared at the soccer ball that flew into the penalty area.
Suddenly, his face flushed with nervousness turned pale in an instant, because in his sight, there was a scene that broke his heart.
In the scramble of people in the penalty area, the central defender of the Modu Sanjin team, under the cover of his teammates, finally broke out of the encirclement, rushed to the ball first, threw his tall body like a burden, and flew to meet the ball.
And Baresi, the eastern suburb who was in charge of marking him, was blocked by the opponent using the cover of his teammates, and at this moment, he could only look at the ball in amazement and sigh.
Because there is no one to mark, the movements of the top player are extremely stretched, and the tall body has an obvious stasis in the air, like an eagle soaring in the sky, waiting for his prey in the air.
The ball flew in front of him, like prey in front of his eyes, and he struggled to push it up with his forehead.
The trajectory of the ball's flight changes instantly, and under the action of the top force, it flies towards the goal.
The little goalkeeper who guarded the Saturday goal of Quancheng was also extremely quick to react and flew to the side to pounce.
But the ball was too fast and too powerful, and the goalkeeper's palm had already crossed the goalkeeper's control before it reached it.
"It's over!" On Saturday in Quancheng, everyone's hearts were cold.
"There it is!" The members of the Demon Capital Three Gold Team and all the fans are happy.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound seemed to strike at everyone's hearts.
Got past the goalkeeper's ball and smashed it on the goalframe again!
The goal of the home team once again denied the goal of the Modu Sanjin team!
In this game, the luck of the Magic Capital Sanjin team was weak!
"Alas!!" There was a loud sigh from the stands at home.
The disappointment was written on the faces of the players of the three gold teams of the Magic City, and some people had even collapsed on the turf.
The sky has no eyes, why should this already ill-fated team be mercilessly teased and beaten again?
The commentator of the Demon Capital was also extremely disappointed, and looked up to the sky in front of the commentary seat and shouted: "The team is dead, not a crime of war!" It's fate..."
In stark contrast to this, the visitors are crowded.
When the ball hit the crossbar with a heavy muffled sound, everyone's hearts fell to the ground on Saturday in Springs.
The last corner, not scored! The game is won! Win! Advanced! We've done wonders!
Whether on or off the field, the eyes of every Spring City Saturday person were instantly shining, and the joy of victory appeared on everyone's face. The roar of excitement had already reached his throat, and the next moment it was about to erupt.
Gao Yuan on the sidelines was also very excited, he clenched his fists, jumped high, punched a few punches in the air, and the moment he landed, he was ready to rush into the field and hug his teammates.
However, at this moment, he saw a scene in his eyes that he would never forget.
I don't know if it was because I was too excited to win the game, or because I was afraid to rejoice in the last moments, but all the Spring Saturday players on the field were collectively in a state of short circuit, standing still and no one to clear the ball that bounced off the crossbar.
Kick it out! All it takes is a big kick to drive the ball out of the box and it's over!
But under the lightning, this thought only just came to him, and he didn't even have time to shout out.
Gao Yuan saw a big man wearing the three gold jerseys of the magic capital, rushing to the ball with lightning speed and shooting angrily at the ball.
On the left arm that the figure threw up when shooting at the goal, the red captain's armband was particularly conspicuous.
Almost everyone on the field is still in a state of stagnation at this moment, the Spring City Saturday players are excited and afraid, and the Modu Sanjin players are disappointed and regretful.
For them, the moment the ball hits the crossbar, the game is over.
But, for Zhou Tao, the game is not over yet!
The whistle is not blowing, and the battle continues!
A furious shot close at hand, with unstoppable power and momentum.
The ball flew into the net like a meteor in an instant, leaving a rainbow-like afterimage in the void.
The ball flew into the net, and the referee's half-time whistle sounded.
The entire stadium seemed to stand still, and even the air seemed to stop flowing, but after a moment of silence, the sky immediately erupted in cheers like the sky was shattering.
At this moment, the air is trembling, as if the blue sky is burning!
The ball went in!!
Zhou Tao, the captain of the Demon Capital Sanjin team, scored a goal in the last second of the game and equalized the score!
In the earth-shattering cheers of the fans, the commentator of the magic capital was also trying his best to roar: "Zhou Tao has made a meritorious service!" Zhou Tao has made meritorious contributions! Don't give Springs Saturday a chance!
The great captain of the three gold medals of the magic capital, he inherited the glorious tradition of magic football, Fan Zhiyi, Wu Chengying, Shen Si, Qi Hong, Xie Hui, Xu Genbao, at this moment the soul is possessed!
Zhou Tao alone represents the glorious tradition of magic capital football, and at this moment, he is not fighting alone! He's not alone·······"
On the field, the players of the three gold medals of the magic capital were like crazy demons, roaring madly, and rushed towards the hero of the goal, their captain, Zhou Tao.
And Zhou Tao had already taken the lead, galloping to the coach's seat on the sidelines, and pounced on the man who brought him hope, faith, and fighting spirit - his coach and his eldest brother - Zhu Tong.
At a distance of four or five meters from Zhu Tong, Zhou Tao, who was galloping, pounced on the coach and threw the coach down.
"Stinky boy, slow down ·····"
As soon as Zhu Tong's voice sounded, it was drowned in the crowd that swooped in after him.
At this moment, on the court, there are only 11 Spring City Saturday players left like clay sculptures. They seemed to have been immobilized, and they all kept their movements in place when they had just lost the ball, and no one moved for a long time.
Extremely lonely, they looked out of place against the backdrop of the thunderous cheers of the entire stadium.
On the away team's bench on the sidelines, extreme disappointment and regret were also written on everyone's faces.
It was only one step away from victory, only one second away, and only one big foot away from clearing.
90 minutes of hard work, so long to prepare for the battle, just because of this moment of negligence, is it going to be in vain?
All this, perhaps, is just a gap in game experience.
What they are inferior to is not technique, not tactics, not awareness, not fighting spirit, in the final analysis, it is just a gap in game experience. As an amateur team, Springs Saturday has not experienced life and death, and has not really experienced the cruelty of football.
After a long time, the celebratory court calmed down a little, but it was not the end of the hustle and bustle, but the accumulation of strength for the more violent shouts to follow.
Because the game is not over.
Next, on this field, there will be the most exciting and brutal way to win in football - penalty shootout!
The format of the FA Cup, with no extra time, a draw in the regular season and a direct penalty shootout.
However, on and off the court, almost everyone already has the answer in their hearts, and the three gold teams of the magic capital will be the winners of this hard-fought game!
First of all, Lady Luck was on their side, and the final moment of the draw amply illustrated it.
Secondly, the three gold teams of the Absolute Magic Capital are like a rainbow and full of confidence; On the other hand, their opponents, after suffering such a huge blow, have lost any momentum.
Again, the Magic City Sanjin team is a veteran professional team that has been in battle for a long time, and the players' shooting skills, ability, experience, and fame are far above the grassroots opponents.
Also, Da Liu, the goalkeeper of the Magic Capital Sanjin team, is in good shape, although he has not experienced any tests for most of the game, but the high and low blocks in the first three minutes of the game are enough to reassure the team and fans.
At the end of the day, thousands of spectators will do their best to cheer for the home team.
The time, place, and people are all on the side of the three gold teams in the magic capital.
Because he was too involved just now, the Mordo commentator, who had already shouted hoarsely, commented in a hoarse voice: "The Modu Sanjin team can be said to have entered the next round of the FA Cup with one foot, of course, it is only prudent to say that one foot is just a cautious statement, to put it mildly, the team's other foot has been suspended, only to land." ”
Han Dazui echoed: "Indeed, under normal circumstances, amateur teams rarely have the opportunity to play penalty shootouts, and there are certain technical shortcomings in the penalty and saving links. In particular, the goalkeeper of Quancheng Saturday, who is visually less than 1.75 meters tall, is at a disadvantage in the penalty shootout. There is no doubt that at this moment, the three gold teams of the magic capital are the favorites to advance. ”
"But..." Han Dazui suddenly changed his words.
"We often say that football is round, anything can happen, and maybe a miracle will happen again, because we have seen so many incredible ······ in this game"
After the stimulation of the lore just now, the blood pressure and heartbeat of the Demon Capital commentator are estimated to have not returned to normal, and at this moment, he is no longer calm and rational, and interrupts with some dissatisfaction and disdain: "Teacher Han, you are too cautious, I think no matter what aspect you look at, the Demon Capital Three Gold Team will be the undoubted winners." ”
Han Dazui has experienced the vicissitudes of life, and he didn't think of the tone of the commentator of the magic capital, and smiled indifferently: "The game is not over yet, let's wait and see." ”
