Chapter 52 A sword that pierced the sky!(1/2)
Michael Hawen did not hide his feelings at all when he saw Chu Zhongtian's outrageous long shot.
He was really happy, which showed that the ankle injury really affected Chu Zhongtian. He was no longer the omnipotent "god", but became a person who could also shoot such a bad long shot.
This mistake would tell the Reading player on the court - Chu Zhongtian is already at the end of his strength, and he has nothing to be afraid of!
In fact, the same is true. When Chu Zhongtian swung his feet to prepare for a long shot, Harrison, Barker and others were desperate. They had seen Chu Zhongtian's powerful long shot. He scored fourteen goals this season, six of which were scored through long shots outside the penalty area... Goalkeeper Wosa Braksell did not react at all. When he saw Chu Zhongtian draw the football, it was too late to do it again... Just when everyone thought the ball would fly into the goal, the football drew a strange arc and flew directly to the corner flag area, and went out of the baseline... The shot was indeed outrageous.
The Wimbledon Athletics fans in the stands couldn't believe it, and they held their heads with their hands and looked at the stadium in amazement.
After shooting, Chu Zhongtian almost fell to the ground. His hands supported his body in time, and even so, he knelt on one knee on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Emily couldn't help but exclaim.
Her exclamation was not a pity for Chu Zhongtian's shot. She was really worried about Chu Zhongtian's left ankle. It was obvious that the moment Chu Zhongtian shot, his body tilted to the left, which showed that his left ankle could not support his body... She was not a professional player, but she was a senior fan, and she knew what this meant.
Not to mention the fans, even the Wimbledon Athletics players were worried about Chu Zhongtian, Kevin Clark, who ran up to care about Chu Zhongtian at the first time. After reaching out to pull him up, he asked: "Ankle..."
Chu Zhongtian waved his hand: "It's just a slid."
"It's really okay?" Clark asked skeptically.
Chu Zhongtian said firmly: "It's really okay."
Clark patted his shoulder: "Be careful..."
The two turned around and ran towards their half. The opponent's goal ball was ready to defend.
※※ Harrison touched Barker's shoulder beside him and said to him with some joy: "See? I bet it's all because of Edwin's shovel!"
Barkel nodded: "It's obvious that he didn't support his left foot just now!"
The two looked at each other and then started to laugh.
This is hope, hope to win!
Although Edwin Grayton ended, his influence still exists. All they have to do is not to make Grayton's red card become the fact that he "losts and loses" once. They must make full use of the "wealth" left by Grayton to them, defeat the enemy, and advance to the Premier League!
If you win the ball, Grayton and all of them will become heroes, and if you lose the ball... They will be overwhelmed by a lot of spit, and those boring sissies will angrily criticize them for being rude and savage, uneducated, and a regression of modern football... Every player of Reading is very clear about this. In fact, since Michael Hawen came to the team, everyone has lived such a life - if you win the ball, you will be scolded by the media. "Reeding's players' brains are full of muscles, and winning by their bodies is not glorious!" "Reeding's tactic is to scare away the enemy with a dense flying tackle at the beginning of the game.
People, the opponent can be slaughtered by them next!" Those who lost the ball were even more fiercely... They also entered the upgrade play-offs last season, but eventually lost in the semi-finals. After losing the semi-finals, Reading, from the players to the head coach, was all over the media, thinking that their failure was worthy of it. Everyone applauded their defeat and thought that they were self-defeated. "...If such a team was promoted to the Premier League, it would be a shame for football! It is the existence of these garbage teams that make those world's top technical masters dare not join the Premier League!"
What's wrong with English football? Where did the English football that made them excited and full of male hormones go?
Now they have the opportunity to prove to the whole of England that the body-flowing mad dog football is still hopeful!
※※※Eric Barker and Reus Harrison are like hyenas. As long as Chu Zhongtian receives the ball, they will immediately appear next to Chu Zhongtian.
At first, the commentator just criticized the two of them for their dirty small movements and too many dangerous moves to play football. But later, they had to praise the tenacity of these two people. The defense was like chewing gum that had been chewed once. Although it was annoying, once it was touched, you should not get rid of it easily... "No matter what, Michael Hawen's tactic arranged against Chu was very successful - he has only made one mistake so far. But for Reading, who was one less person, being only one goal behind was undoubtedly a huge victory. This score made them full of hope at all times. This hope would make the entire team full of fighting spirit. Wimbledon Athletics was dragged into the quagmire by them and fell into a hard battle..."
The defense of these two "hyenas" did make Chu Zhongtian very difficult, but he was very unhappy in his heart - if it weren't for his ankle injury...what are these two people? That Grayton won't end, and he can also deal with the three of them together!
Now I really feel like "a tiger falls into a flat sun and is bullied by a dog".
But he did not give up, he was still looking for opportunities.
He passed the football to Jack Yang who was inserted in the back and then quickly penetrated forward. Jack Yang passed the football over and ran forward himself, as if he wanted to play a two-pass and one-slamming wall-like cooperation with Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian made a move to pass the football to Yang, which caused Baker in front of him to slightly deviate his center of gravity, and then he suddenly shot straight from a long shot!
This time he changed his left foot to shoot.
But the situation seems to be worse than the support foot for the left foot... Shooting, especially when shooting, the insteps must be straightened, so that the ankle ligaments need to be stretched and stretched, but his ankle ligaments are now swollen and hardly used. It is very difficult to straighten. The instep is arranged and the toes are raised up. The football shot in this way can be imagined... The football flew directly to the second floor stand behind the goal... "Oh--" The fans in the stands exclaimed... They were not amazed at how high the quality of Chu Zhongtian's shot was, but at how bad the shot could be played... "This is Chu's second attempt to shoot from a long shot, the first one was off, and the kick was high... It was completely out of standard! I think it was obviously Greton's flying tackle that had an impact on Chu's left foot, otherwise even if he was in shape, he would not have kicked such a bad ball..." The commentator analyzed.
Reading fans booed Chu Zhongtian in the stands: "The plane fell down-"
※※※ Chu Zhongtian ignored the ridicule and booing, and turned around and ran back.
Kevin Clark looked at the captain's back and knew that this was definitely not something that could be explained by slipping his feet... He was 100% affected by that flying tackle... This damn Reading!
When Clark thinks of this, he is very angry. The other party is just sent off with a red card. In Clark's opinion, it is simply too cheap. They paid the price of one person, but they lost the motivation of Wimbledon. This deal is simply too cost-effective!
Chu Zhongtian ignored other people's gazes. After returning to his position, he stood there, then stretched his left foot back, pointed at the ground with his toes, stretching and straightening... He was using this method to restore his ligament function.
The severe pain made his expression distorted. Because his ankle was wrapped in bandages, this action took more strength than usual, and the result was that his ankle was more painful.
But in order to make his ankles more flexible, he had to do this.
This will make you more painful, but in this pain, you will force your body to adapt to this feeling. In this way, when he needs his body to make similar movements, his ankles will no longer become a shackle that trips his feet.
Perhaps this will cause more serious damage to the body afterwards, but Chu Zhongtian couldn't care about so much.
In order to allow the body to adapt to this pain as soon as possible, Chu Zhongtian could fluently do the movements that Chu Zhongtian hoped it would do, Chu Zhongtian desperately leaned over his ankle. At the same time, he lowered his head to prevent others from seeing the expression on his face - he knew that his current expression would definitely scare many people.
The teammates and opponents around him all noticed Chu Zhongtian's strangeness - he lowered his head, bowed his body, and stretched his left leg instep... But no matter how he looked at it, it was strange. Not only did they think it was strange, but the fans in the stands and the TV broadcast thought it was strange, and the TV broadcast also gave Chu Zhongtian a close-up shot.
But they did not take a picture of Chu Zhongtian's facial expression. He buried his head deeply, gritted his teeth and turned his ankles hard.
He felt the pain get deeper and deeper, and then suddenly... he suddenly felt that the pain was normal. He knew that his body had been used to and adapted to this feeling. It was not that the pain was no longer there, but because this level of pain was adapted to by the body, so it was actually still painful, but it would not react so violently.
Chu Zhongtian raised his head again, his face covered in sweat, but there was a relaxed smile on his face. He looked at the Reading players opposite - your death date has come.
※※※"What's wrong with Chu..."
When Chu Zhongtian was competing with his ankles, Boss John in the stands frowned and asked.
No matter him, the other Wimbledon Athletics fans, don't understand. Is Chu Zhongtian upset about his two consecutive shots just now? Or is he blaming himself?
Emily knew very well that as Chu Zhongtian's wife, she knew her husband's minor problems and quirks very well. Chu Zhongtian had always been the kind of quirk that would become more and more irritating the more painful it was. For example, if he had a muscle strain, he still wanted to continue to stimulate the wounded part. The pain made him grin and grin... He seemed to enjoy this feeling very much, because after a brief stimulation, his body could regain his feelings. It was like taking poison... "He... is charging..." Emily murmured.
"Recharge?" The people around him could not understand Emily's explanation at all. However, they did not have the opportunity to continue asking because Reading goalkeeper Wosa Bracksell kicked the football into the frontcourt and the game started again!
Chu Zhongtian watched the football flew over. He did not retreat or dodge, but instead went up and jumped to the top!
This time, he used his left foot to make a jumping force to see if his left foot can withstand such impact.
As a result, his left foot performance was very satisfied.
He jumped high and grabbed Lanson Tony's football back to Reading's half.
After landing, he had a slight buffer before getting up. When he got up, he smiled even more - this felt so good!
He didn't know how long this state could last, so he had to solve Reading as soon as possible... He wanted to score! Goal!
※※※Harrison and Barker are now heading towards Chu Zhongtian's left foot when defending Chu Zhongtian. This defensive move is very insidious. Either Chu Zhongtian is going to withstand the opponent's kick with his left foot, or they are forced to give up possession and avoid the opponent's press. Although you can use falling to the ground to make the opponent foul and retain the possession. To be honest, it doesn't make sense to do so.
After the referee sent off Grayton early, he is now a little conservative. It is difficult to achieve the goal of using the trick of luring fouls to reduce the opponent's staff again.
So Chu Zhongtian's mind was not on this at all. In the game, he could not see the scene of falling to the ground again and again under the opponent's press. Sometimes he fell to the ground a few times, so he had no choice but to do so.
He had been making wedding dresses for his teammates before, using his passing skills and awareness to create opportunities for his teammates to score goals. But Reading's tactics limited the effect of his doing so.
His Greater Chinese Cannon basically had few successful sounds in this game.
Now he plans to drag out the cannon and let Reading see it.
Chu Zhongtian took the ball again, and Harrison followed him like a shadow and quickly came up. Chu Zhongtian knocked the ball directly to Kurt and Hammons with his heel, and then continued to run forward.
He knew that the other party was hitting his left ankle, so he simply reduced the number of times he touched the ball so that the other party could take advantage of the opportunity.
Using passes instead of dribbling can not only reduce your chances of touching the ball, but also continue to move forward, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
After passing the ball, he ran diagonally and came to the side area.
Hammons passed the football to him, and he took the opportunity to divide the football into the wing.
Baker, who was originally planning to grab the ball, saw that Chu Zhongtian did not stop the ball at all, but passed the ball directly, so he gave up the idea.
Chu Zhongtian ran forward along the ribs.
Louis Tanner, who received the ball on the wing, made a move to pass the ball to Chu Zhongtian, which led Reading's defense to shrink towards Chu Zhongtian's position. However, he passed the football to John Jones who was then inserted to support him.
Jones dribbled forward and successfully shifted Reading's defensive attention to the wing.
Reading's players kept in mind the halftime break, head coach Hawen's advice: Don't just look at Chu Zhongtian, but ignore other Wimbledon competitive players.
Jones dribbled the ball on the wing and rushed forward. Reading's full-back Stephen Tate was stuck in the inside, preventing Jones from easily cutting into the inside to create a greater threat.
When Jones saw that he could not break through the defensive player, he simply stopped and passed the football to Tanner who came to pick him up.
When Tanner saw that Reading's defensive formation was very tight, he passed the football back to central defender Adam Jackson.
When Chu Zhongtian saw that the football was passed back again, he ran away and asked Jackson for the ball.
He did not look back to see if the two "hyenas" of Harrison and Barker had followed. Experience told him that one of them must have followed his butt.
But Chu Zhongtian still wants the ball.
Out of trust in the boss, Jackson passed the football to him.
Almost as Chu Zhongtian passed the football out, Harrison's foot behind him swept, but he only swept the air. Chu Zhongtian jumped up while passing the ball, just avoiding his sweeping legs.
Chu Zhongtian did not stop the ball, and directly passed the football horizontally to Hammons, who also retreated and responded to him. After doing all this, he turned around and continued to run forward.
Hammons passed the football over, and Barker and the football came up together.
Chu Zhongtian still did not stop the ball and directly gave the football to Kevin Clark who retreated to him.
The entire Wimbledon Athletics knows that the current captain is facing a crisis, and as teammates, they must help him. This kind of help is not to stand far away and wait for the captain accurately to their feet like before. They must shorten the distance between themselves and the captain so that he can pass the football to himself as accurately as possible at the fastest speed and cooperate with himself.
After passing the ball to Clark, Chu Zhongtian accelerated and rushed forward, as if he wanted to cooperate with Clark with a two-way and one-way match, so as to directly face the central defender through the front of the penalty area. Barker and Harrison, who was chasing back, responded quickly and accelerated, one rounded forward and the other stuck in the internal test.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian took a step and suddenly stopped suddenly and turned around and changed direction! He went horizontally toward the ribs!
At this moment, Kevin Clark's pass also arrived. The former captain of Wimbledon Athletics did not send the football to Chu Zhongtian's feet, but directly passed it to the front of Chu Zhongtian's body, so that Chu Zhongtian would not have to stop, so that he could ask the two "hyenas" who were chasing him relentlessly.
To be continued...
