It was a penalty that would have decided the fate of Red Star FC in a matter of minutes.

Amid the boos that flew over the Ball Stadium, Amiens midfielder and captain, Walid El Hadjimo, withstood the pressure and smashed the ball into the bottom right corner of the woodwork.

Red Star goalkeeper Vincent Plant was on the right track, but he could only watch the ball go into the net because the angle was too tricky.

0:1, the visitors lead.

The scales of victory had lost their balance and tipped heavily in the direction of Amiens SC.

Just as the home team fans beat their chests and spit, someone suddenly noticed that a familiar figure was brushing his presence on the sidelines.

It's not that they weren't engaged enough when they watched the game, and they weren't sad enough after conceding the ball, but that the fiery red head was too eye-catching.

Especially in this venue, there is no one who does not know.

Red Star fans affectionately call it the brightest red star in the night sky at Bauer Stadium.

Jack Wan, our amazing head coach, isn't he suspended?

One to ten, ten to hundred.

More and more Red Star fans found this sudden surprise, as if they saw hope in despair.

Bursts of cheers rang out from all over the pitch, drowning out the cursing after conceding the goal, making the Amiens players who were celebrating inexplicable, as if it was the opposite side who scored the penalty.

The game restarted, and before kick-off, the fourth official held up the electronic sign of the substitution, signaling Red Star FC to adjust.

At this time, the decibel level of the originally noisy stadium dropped sharply.

The red-headed man actually put on a green Red Star jersey and stood on the sidelines.

Which one is this?

Is our head coach warming up? Ready to play?

……

Time goes back to the moment when the penalty was just scored.

David Bellion, who could only sit back on the bench because of his injury, smashed the water bottle in his hand to the ground.

He is 32 years old this year, his hair has almost fallen out, although he has joined a giant like Manchester United, but his career has not been successful, he was only signed by the Red Star from the French team Bordeaux last year, and he wanted to play in the third division, but this half season was reactivated by the new coach Jack and became the team's leading goalscorer, scoring 12 goals with overhead kicks in 15 games, looking like a second spring.

Originally planning to retire at the end of this season, he has signed a one-year contract extension with the team and is ready to continue to compete in Ligue 2, but he didn't expect that in just a few minutes, the foie gras that was fed to his mouth was about to fly away with wings.

There is no chase, he has just learned from the bench that the opponents who have advanced are currently in the leading stage, which means that if Red Star wants to keep the top three positions, a draw is not enough, and this game must be won.

That is, to score two goals in a row in the remaining ten minutes or so.

It's not that he doesn't believe that there is a miracle on the green field, he has also experienced a lore and reversal in the past six months, but that is when the team has a full lineup, and now the Red Star not only has one less person to fight, but more importantly, when it is most necessary to attack in a big way, there is no one available on the bench!

The team's three regular strikers, one was injured in the last game, one was replaced at half-time, and one of them can't even stand on his feet now, which is still playing a yarn!

"Does the boss want Te'o to play as a striker? He's trained at full-back and never played a competitive game, so that's no joke. ”

Te'o is the kid that Jack just called to warm up, he is only seventeen years old this year, and he is the younger brother of Lucas who was sent off, and at this time he was checking the shin guards with the help of his brother, and seeing the other party's childish and nervous appearance, David Bellion felt more and more unreliable.

Manuel must be stopping him.

Even if you change to a central defender, go up to the center and smash the high ball.

David Bellion can only pin his last hope on the assistant coach who is talking to the head coach.

"Because of this damn penalty, the team is behind and you don't get angry at all."

Since Jack appeared, Manuel has found that his anger value has plummeted, just like a child fighting, although he has not fought, but the parents have come forward, and he will definitely not suffer.

But Jack was very abnormal, and he was not irritable at all after the penalty was scored.

"It's not over yet, why should I be angry."

Jack crossed his waist, expertly moving his ankles, and chatting with Manuel in a match.

"It's not like your temper at all, you scolded the referee's mother in the last game."

"That's because the opposite side fouled and injured our striker, but the referee didn't blow the whistle, so of course I had to be mad."

"No, it was the same just now, David was also injured."

"I didn't see ......"

"Didn't you hide on the bench all the time?"

"It's not hiding, I'm asleep, you're too boring."

Manuel was dumbfounded, and with such a head coach, the life-and-death battle of his own team was actually dozing.

But he was powerless to refute it.

"That...... It's because I didn't command well, and I shouldn't have replaced David so early, so now I can only ask Te'o to play as a striker. ”

Jack nodded, the corners of his mouth twitching.

'It's right to change David to strengthen the attack, we need to score, but who told you that Te'o went up to play as a striker, he changed Jonathan and continued to play at left-back.

Manuel felt his blood pressure go up all at once.

"Switching defenders at this time? You're going to watch your team lose the game? ”

Jack turned his head and said in a surprised tone, "First, we won't lose, and second, I won't watch." ”

"Don't look at you and go up and kick yourself, don't be kidding."

"That's right, referee, substitution."

Jack took off his training jacket to reveal the Red Star FC home green jersey with ONE, No. 1 printed on the back.

……

Eighty-fourth minute of the game.

The first dead kick after the penalty, Red Star FC substitution.

When the head coach dressed as a player stepped onto the green field, the whole Red Star team was stunned from the field to the field.

Boss, what kind of operation is this? Ready to come up and give the referee a flying shovel yourself?

Jack was very calm, he first hugged the young player Te'o who came on the bench and whispered, and then shouted:

"All in a daze! I'll play as a striker, Julian will fill in the middle, and the two wingers will adduct in, and they will cheer me up! ”

The loud voice made the players instantly understand his tactical set-up, and quickly drew their attention back to the court.

Red Star originally played 4-2-3-1, but now they have removed an attacking midfielder who is physically exhausted and replaced it with a left-back, the original left-back has gone to play central defense to maintain the back four system, and Jack has replaced David Bailion in the opposite position and continues to play as a single striker.

The game continued.

Although the head coach's personal exit is a bit magical, it also allows the Red Star players to find the backbone at once, although there is one less, but under Jack's "on-the-spot command", the team's mentality is unified, and all the brains are pressed, hoping to create a miracle at the last moment of the game.

Amiens SC was clearly prepared and shrunk the formation as soon as possible, apparently trying to hold on to a one-goal lead.

At the same time, they also want to see what this Red Star coach is up for.

Then the Amiens players were very happy that this guy did not appear in the first place.

Not because of how good his game is or how dangerous he is, but because he is really annoying.

From the very beginning of the game, Jack stood in the center position and commanded the game from a first-person perspective.

His loud voice could even drown out the shouts of the crowd around him, and it could be heard clearly in the ears of everyone on the field.

"Pass to the left, to Te'o, this kid just came up, and he has physical strength!"

"Don't retreat, the back line is pressed up, just grab it in the midfield!"

"Don't pass it on to me! Are you blind? Divide the other side! ”

For three minutes, Jack didn't touch the ball once, and perfectly interpreted what a stumping center is, almost standing at the top of the arc of the penalty area and didn't move much.

It turned out to be just a mouth cannon.

With the passage of time, the Amiens players gradually relaxed, there is such an uncle playing center, their defense is more relaxed, not to mention playing more and less, Red Star is over, let's play the national league with us next season.

The only exception was Amiens captain El Waleed, who was at the heart of the midfield and was keenly aware of something was wrong, and although the manager didn't show any substance, his verbal command did work, and although time was ticking, the Red Star players were not as impatient as before, playing well in a couple of attacks, and the left-back who had just come on was extremely fast.

Just as Waleed was about to remind his teammates to watch out for the right side of the defense, the Red Star's attack returned.

After a series of short passes, the ball reached the feet of Makhov, the heart of the Red Star midfield, and because Amiens had already set up his defensive stance, he suddenly did not find a good passing opportunity, and was about to return the ball to his teammates to reorganize, when a thunderous roar sounded in front of him.

"Florian, here!"

Seeing the head coach who took the initiative to ask for the ball for the first time, Makhyov did not hesitate and passed the ball directly, but he didn't know if he was scared, and the power of the pass was a bit big.

"Good shot!"

Jack, who was running in front of him, skillfully stopped the ball at his feet, just this touch of the ball can be seen that his basic skills are not bad, the central defender who was originally marking him was obviously not focused at this time, and he did not expect him to suddenly retreat to get the ball, and did not follow up at the first time, so that Jack was able to receive the ball calmly and turn around in a chic manner.

At this time, he was in the position on the right side of the arc of the Amiens penalty area, there was no defender around him, and he also had a certain shooting angle, so he could completely cover the foot.

Waleed, who was closest to him, didn't dare to be careless when he saw this, and hurriedly came from the top of the arc to make up for it, wanting to break the ball, but was deftly flashed by Jack, not only did he not touch the ball, but he was also blocked behind him with his strong body.

Jack, who dodged the robbery, did not hesitate, directly rounded his right leg, and shouted loudly:

"Tire!"

At this time, the Amiens central defender, who had just stepped up, hurriedly spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity, and put his hands behind his back, hoping to block the opponent's long-range shot with his body.

But he was fooled.

Just when everyone thought Jack was going to shoot directly, his ankle suddenly twisted, and it turned from a original volley to a pass.

The Amiens centre-back watched the ball pass between his legs, and he was so close that he couldn't get out of it because his center of gravity sank.

The ball clung to the turf and flew at breakneck speed behind the right-back at Amiens, where there was a large open area where no one was around.

Fake shot real pass!

Everyone was deceived by Jack, but the ball was given a little deep, and it went straight to the bottom line on the right side of the Amiens goal.

But that wasn't a problem, and at the same time as Jack yelled, a green figure appeared out of the sky, galloping up the left half of the Red Star as if it were the wind.

It was Te'o who had just been replaced.

What he was thinking about was the whisper that the leader had said to him when he was on the field just now.

"When you hear me shouting Tire, you don't care about 3721 and rush forward, you know how to rush to death?"

It turned out to be waiting here.

The boss is too insidious.

Seeing a green shadow flashing past him, the right-back who hurriedly turned around wanted to chase back and interfere, but he obviously underestimated Te'o's speed, the seventeen-year-old was already at full power, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed from midfield to the edge of the Amiens penalty area, not even giving the opponent a chance to foul.

"Fill in the space! Stop him. ”

Seeing that Te'o could go straight into the penalty area after receiving the ball, the Amiens goalkeeper shouted loudly.

Needless to say, the team's other central defender has already come out, and the experienced one did not rush up, but stuck his position, ready to rush to the bottom line as soon as the opponent stopped the ball.

But Te'o didn't give him this opportunity, and the Red Star youngster stepped on the accelerator tightly, and after chasing the ball near the baseline, there was no pause at all, and he chose to cross with his feet.

The ball flew over the head of the Amiens centre-backs like a meteor, creating a flat and fast arc.

The quality and curvature are very good, but a little high.

The Amiens goalkeeper was secretly out of position, with two centre-backs out of position and only one left-back in the box.

Just as he was struggling with whether to attack, a tall figure had already taken the opportunity to rush into the penalty area in advance, jumping high like a rocket in the air, pressing the one-meter-eight tall Amiens left-back behind him.

Bang!

The fiery red head flicked against the ball.

The ball smashed into the top right corner of the goal like a cannonball.

The Amiens goalkeeper didn't have time to react before the ball went into the net.

1-1, in the 87th minute of the game, Red Star FC equalized.

After the goal, the Red Star players did not celebrate, but rushed into the goal as soon as possible, picked up the ball, and ran towards the center circle without looking back.

Only the Amiens goalkeeper was left with a familiar number.

One.
