Chapter 25: Equalizer!
"At the last moment of the game, the Chinese team got a set-piece opportunity. Can the boys seize this opportunity?"
He Wei was so nervous that he started rubbing his hands.
Zhang Lu on the side was also staring at the screen, not daring to breathe.
It can be said that this set piece may be the last chance.
Every time the Chinese team attacks, it is very difficult. With only one minute left, it is almost impossible for them to attack again.
For this reason, this set piece becomes extremely important.
Lippi and other coaches on the sidelines also stood up. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and looked toward the court.
All the Chinese fans in the audience had the word "nervous" written on their faces.
This moment!
This set piece is so critical.
Can a penalty be awarded?
Who should be punished is very important.
Chen Man reduced the ball. He was trotting all the way. This was the moment to race against time.
"Give me!"
Lucky picked the ball directly.
Faced with this set piece, he did his part.
Not to mention the identity of Lucky's first penalty kicker and set kick, no one dared to take a penalty for set kicks during this period.
Enter and become famous all over the world!
If you lose it, you may get a lot of abuse.
Especially for young players, they would never dare to touch this ball.
Sure enough, He Wei and Zhang Lu looked excited when they saw Lucai holding the ball and coming to the penalty area.
"This set kick is taken by Lucky! Lucky's positioning ability is absolutely trustworthy. In the European League, Lucky's long shots and free kicks are his signatures. He is also the number one set kicker at Arsenal. It can be said that it is most reasonable for Le Kai to take the penalty!"
Just like He Wei's words, Lucai finally felt a little relieved when he took the penalty kick.
However, the pressure faced by Lucai at this time is not small.
One ball is heaven, one ball is hell.
At this time, set pieces at this moment are often accompanied by tremendous pressure.
It's true that Lucky has a big heart, but at this moment he was still nervously putting his hands on his shorts.
The Swedish team has already started forming a human wall.
The Swedish goalkeeper's position is not obviously close to which side, but the closer position is blocking the view.
Lucky took a moment to observe and then decided how to take the free throw.
Soon, the referee quit.
The whistle sounded.
Lucky bent his waist and started running. At this moment, the eyes of the world were focused on Lucky.
Can he help the team score set kicks at critical moments like Cristiano Ronaldo did when Portugal vs. Spain?
Under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes, Lucky completed his run-up, drew his right foot to its full length, and hit the ball hard.
The ball contact area is very saturated and the force is exerted smoothly.
Lucky felt the feedback from this moment and moved his right foot forward at the same time.
At the moment Lucky made a free throw, the Swedish team also jumped up instantly.
But at the moment they took off, the ball flew close to the ground.
He slipped through the gap under Sweden's second human wall.
"This ball"
He Wei raised his buttocks and stretched his neck.
Although he couldn't see behind him, he still looked hard.
The next second, the camera switches.
The net vibrates.
It was a close-range strike that clung to the goal post.
The referee turned to the midfield and blew the whistle.
At this moment, the sharp whistle sounded like the sound of nature.
"Roar!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
! ——”
Lucky raised his head and roared.
All the stress, all the tension was released at this moment.
Scored!
A crucial goal!
He lived up to the efforts of his teammates.
"Goal!
!
! Goal!
!
! "
"Lucky!
This savior-like set kick really went in!
"
"This is incredible!
Lucky!
He is still the key man. Whether in Arsenal or the Chinese team, he can always perform amazingly at critical moments! "
“In the previous day’s game, Cristiano Ronaldo helped Portugal defeat Spain with a set piece in stoppage time, and today, Lucky also replicated this scene, and the Chinese team equalized the score!
"
“It’s 2:2!
! The Swedes cheered for victory and disappeared without a trace! "
"At the last moment, Lucai decided the outcome with one kick!
"
He Wei's face turned red, and he was almost shouting about filial piety; "Long live!"
!
! Chinese team!
!
"
Zhang Lu on the side also shouted along and ran around the field happily.
In the entire studio, all the staff jumped up at this moment and burst into violent cheers.
They were all cheering for this goal.
The Nizhny Novgorod stadium was filled with cheers as fierce as a volcanic eruption.
The tens of thousands of Chinese fans at the scene couldn't help but jump up and cheer when the goal was scored.
They cheered for this valuable goal.
while also cheering for their heroes.
Evened!
Really evened it up.
At the last moment of the game, they were about to usher in the first draw of the World Cup!
Facing the powerful Swedish team, the Chinese team's performance was exciting.
At the coaching bench, Lippi and other coaches also raised their hands high when the goal was scored.
The coach, who is used to seeing tense moments, still couldn't keep calm when facing this goal.
He was like an old kid, jumping around on the sidelines, waving, and even booing toward the stands.
Following Lippi's actions, the cheers on the scene became louder and louder.
Lucky was already surrounded by his teammates.
The excited Chinese players pinned Lucky down.
Chen Man pressed down on Lucai, and he shouted excitedly; "Fuck! Fuck! Brother! No!"
Dear dad!
You are so damn strong!
You can get in here! Evened!
Ha ha ha ha! Evened!
"
Others were equally excited.
A moment when there is little hope.
Their captain, Lucky, brings them a ray of hope.
On the other hand, the Swedish players were dumbfounded.
Why did you get in?
There is no problem with their defense!
But who would have thought that Lucky could kick a ground ball and just pass under the wall.
That position just blocked the goalkeeper's view, and the goalkeeper could hardly react.
This goal left them with no excuses.
90 minutes of game!
After finally reversing the situation, and at the moment when they were about to welcome victory, they capsized in the gutter.
In this situation, they are the most unwilling.
But what if you don’t want to give up?
Can he still score a goal?
There was only a minute left in the game, not even a minute.
Maybe the whistle blows after kick-off.
The expressions of the Swedish players became a little gloomy.
A victory that should have been won was probably lost by them.
Lucky among the crowd stood up and waved towards the stands, which instantly made everyone excited.
Lucky also punched three times with his fist.
The cheers of "Three Punch Celebration" were not considered neat.
This goal restored a lot of morale for Chinese players and fans.
"There is also a guarantee not to concede a goal during game time!"
Lucky shouted immediately.
Although there was not much time left, they still could not relax.
No one can guarantee whether the Swedish team will make a desperate counterattack.
For this reason, almost everyone retreated and started setting up buses.
Block the opponent's shot!
Intercept the opponent's passing lane!
Compress the opponent's passing and running space!
The Chinese team's idea is simple, keep the ball and then win a valuable draw.
A minute passed quickly.
The referee blew the whistle to end the game without any hesitation.
On the fifth match day of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Chinese team defeated Sweden 2:2 in the first game of Group F.
This draw brought a great morale boost to the Chinese players.
And Lucky's set kick became the same topical goal as Cristiano Ronaldo.
After all, such a critical moment goal, such an important goal cannot be ignored in any case.
One game down!
The Chinese players are also exhausted.
The Swedish team is very strong and a draw is enough for them.
Although there was a possibility of victory before, the Swedish team still scored two goals in a row.
And this game also told the Chinese team that they still need to make a lot of adjustments.
After all, we can't rely on Luc Kai and Chen Man to play football every game.
It's true that these two have big legs, but if they continue to be kicked like this, they will be exhausted to death.
After the game, the Chinese players also ran to the stands to thank the fans for their cheers.
Faced with the gratitude of the Chinese players, the fans also gave bursts of applause.
Even though it is a draw, it also depends on who the draw is with.
Winning a draw with Sweden is already a good gain.
