Bolton players all thought about the free kick just now.

It was really surprising that the direct volleyball was thirty meters away. They were professional players and understood even more how strong the ball needed. It was not something that ordinary players could play. Look at Kevin Poole's reaction, you can tell how threatening it is.

They feel fearless!

This ball is really almost scored. If the opponent has more luck and the football is a little higher, it will definitely be a goal.

Bolton fans also thought so. Seeing that the ball did not enter, they secretly called luck and started cheering for Bolton again. However, the JJB Stadium only sold 3,000 seats for Bolton fans. Their cheers seemed a little pitiful in front of more than 20,000 Wigan fans.

Wigan fans also felt sorry for the shot just now, but they were more excited.

That ball is so cool to watch!

This is Zhang, our hardman, Wigan's real man. It would be so exciting to shoot directly like this. If you don't look at the other party, would you be scared?

They shouted in the stands, "Zhang, another kick!"

"Cum through them!"

"Let them know it's amazing!"

They were very excited when they thought about the shot just now, and others, including those reporters, were also much more energetic. Zhang Tiehan's shot was not only a threatening ball, but also made everyone in the game feel energetic. The game just now was not very nervous. Zhang Tiehan's sudden powerful long shot made everyone think that this was the semi-final of the League Cup. The two teams would not play houses. They were fighting to the death.

...

Compared with fans and players, the head coach considers more.

Jewell was a little regretful about this goal just now. If he could score a goal quickly, the situation at Wigan Athletic would be much better, but if the ball was not scored, he had no choice.

Bad luck...

Javier sighed in his heart, and then took the opportunity to instruct the players on the field to pass more balls to Zhang Tiehan. If there were more such shots, the goal would be close.

Needless to say, after seeing this shot, Wigan Athletics players knew what to do. In fact, a large part of their tactics depended on Zhang Tiehan's long shot to make up for the shortcomings of the offensive. The shot just now also made them confident in Zhang Tiehan's long shot.

On the other hand, Bolton coach Allardyce was a little worried.

The shot just now passed, and he didn't have to consider the past, but in the shot just now, Allardys saw the threat.

Yes, threatening.

He originally thought that it would be enough to defend firmly, but the shot just now reminded him of the last goal of the young man's No. 13 at Reebok Stadium.

This young No. 13 has a good long-range shooting technique, and Allardyce is still very clear about it, but he originally thought it was just ordinary good at it, just like Liverpool's Gerrard, who is also good at long-range shooting, but if you have ten shots like that, it would be good to be able to score one. Allardyce doesn't think there would be any threat.

But now it is a similar long shot, full of power and tricky angles... Such long shots are too threatening.

But he had no choice but to think about it.

The No. 13 position in this game is similar to a midfielder. Every time he inserts it late, he cannot let the players limit it. If he does this, his formation will be disrupted, which will definitely be more than worth the effort.

"It's just luck... it's impossible for this ball to be like this every time." Allardyce thought. There was no way to make big adjustments in time, so he could only say this to himself.

But this is just his self-comfort...

The Wigan Athletics players are very clear about Zhang Tiehan's long-range shooting ability. They know that the ball just now was not a lucky one. Anyone who hears the sound of "bumping" in the training ground every day will probably not look that way.

They knew Zhang Tiehan's long-range shooting ability and were used to it. When they saw the shot just now, they knew that Zhang Tiehan was in good condition.

Since he is in good shape, pass more balls!

Everyone thinks so.

In fact, this idea made several offensive players feel very relaxed. Under Bolton's pressure, they knew that they and the team had to score goals. Now passing the ball to Zhang Tiehan is equivalent to transferring some of the pressure. They all thought, "We have Zhang, what are you afraid of?"

So some changes occurred in the following game, and this change occurred on the offense of Wigan Athletics.

In previous games, Wigan Athletics was very high in order to get the opportunity. As long as the football was in Bolton's half, they kept looking for opportunities to pass the ball forward. Whether in the middle or two sides, the players' purpose was to get the ball closer to the goal and find good opportunities.

But now there has been changes.

Wigan Athletics' propulsion attack did not seem to be in a hurry to pass the ball into the penalty area, but instead advanced slowly. The football passed by several offensive players. When Zhang Tiehan got in, they immediately passed the ball over.

Faced with such an offensive method, Bolton didn't know what to do for a moment.

They have to maintain their formation when defending, and it is impossible to split too many players to rush forward to grab the ball. The further they are, the more dense the formation will be. However, if the opponent does not attack, they don’t know whether they should go forward to grab the ball.

When Zhang Tiehan enters, Bolton often has five or six Wigan Athletics players in the middle of the first half. Bolton dispersed the defense. When Zhang Tiehan received the ball, there were only one or two defensive players around him. This is because Bolton paid great attention to Zhang Tiehan's defense.

Without being restricted, Zhang Tiehan can easily get the ball, and he chooses to shoot directly whenever he has the chance.

Twenty meters, twenty-five meters, thirty meters...

Almost all locations near the entire penalty area can be his "battery launch point".

...

Kevin Poole considers himself an excellent goalkeeper.

He was born in Bloomsgrove and became Aston Villa's main goalkeeper at the age of 21. By this year, he has played in the top English schedule for twenty seasons, from Aston Villa to Middlesbrough, to Hartle Pool United, Leicester, Birmingham, and now Bolton. He is forty-one years old, but he is still Bolton's main goalkeeper. He believes that he can fight last few seasons.

There are too few veterans like him in the football field.

Almost all professional players of the same period have retired, and Kevin Poole still fought on the world's top courts with steady performance and rich experience.

But now, Kevin Poole suddenly realized that he was old.

Facing the opponent's No. 13, he shot harder one by one. He felt that he was a little slow to react. He didn't react at all the two goals just now. If the opponent's shooting was a bit off, the goal would have been lost long ago.

Kevin Poole is unwilling to give up!

It was another Wigan Athletic attack. On the wing, Macaroc and Kennedy switched cross positions. After two passes and one match, Macaroc cut to the middle and knocked the ball back to Zhang Tiehan with a beautiful heel.

The football reached Zhang Tiehan's feet.

"Zhang!" Williams yelled when he saw Zhang Tiehan take the ball.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan was about 31 meters away from the goal, and there was almost no hesitation. After stopping the ball, Zhang Tiehan immediately swung his right foot.

The Bolton player didn't have time to defend.

"Bang!"

The sound of thunder-like collision resounded throughout the jjb stadium. In the noisy stadium, the sound of the football touching the feet seemed extremely clear, and even the audience was silent for a moment because of this sound.

Another long shot!

The football rushed towards Bolton's gate like a white lightning.

In the penalty area, Anthony Barnes watched the ball fly over and wanted to block it with his body, but as soon as he jumped up, he saw that the football had flew past him.

He subconsciously turned his head to look over.

The flight route of the football was quite straight, without any arc at all, just flew forward directly, and directly blasted Bolton's goal. Barnes looked at the ball and breathed in an instant. He believed that the experienced Kevin Poole could save the ball.

But what Barnes didn't know was that this was a big test for goalkeeper Poole.

Just the first few times he saved the ball, he felt his fists hurt.

He was very brave and strong... but he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his fists. He thought about the feeling of hitting the ball with both boxing just now, and he was a little scared, but the football flew over again. He could only yell and rushed out from the front of the goal towards the football.

"ah!!!"

Kevin Poole knocked the ball away with his two fists, and then he looked forward with a ferocious look, pointing directly at Zhang Tiehan.

That expression...is very fierce!

But in fact, Poole is using expressions to cheer himself up!

From the beginning of the game to now, he knocked Zhang Tiehan out of three long shots, only three times... But now he feels a little numb with both fists. If he does a few more times, he doesn't know if he can hold on. He thinks of the last goal of the opponent at the Reebok Stadium, and thinks of the long shots he didn't respond at all just now.

Are you really old?

Kevin Poole sighed secretly that maybe it was time for him to retire, at least he should leave the top court. He really felt a little overwhelmed here.

...

Kevin Poole was still sighing secretly, but the danger of the goal came again.

This time it was Wigan Athletic's tactical corner kick. After Kennedy took the corner kick, Makaroch wanted to make a cross on the wing, and happened to see Zhang Tiehan standing on the other side and holding his hands high.

"Here!" Zhang Tiehan shouted.

Makarochi looked at that direction and shook his head secretly. The distance was a bit far, and he couldn't pass it. Moreover, when Zhang Tiehan raised his hand, the Bolton player next to him immediately became much more cautious.

Seeing that there was no chance, Makarochi handed the ball to Barnes who was inserted. Barnes raised his foot and rubbed the ball towards Zhang Tiehan.

The moment Zhang Tiehan passed the ball, "see through" had already started, and he rushed out directly. The Bolton player next to him was slowing down for half a beat, but he didn't keep up. When Zhang Tiehan stopped the ball with his chest, he had just followed him. As a result, Zhang Tiehan had already protected the ball with his body, and then suddenly stabbed the ball backward, turned around and chased after him in three or two steps.

The Bolton player had just stopped and had no time to react before he stood firm. He could only watch Zhang Tiehan chase the ball.

"Zhang passed Correa!" Williams shouted.

On the Wigan Athletics coach's seat, Javier also squinted his eyes and nodded with satisfaction, "Zhang's ability to get rid of things has improved rapidly."

Stebron next to him also said, "Yes, Zhang is in training..."

Before he could finish speaking, the two stood up at the same time and looked nervously at Bolton's penalty area. After Zhang Tiehan got rid of Correa, he directly chose to shoot!

"Bang!"

A dull sound.

But the sound was lighter than before. Zhang Tiehan couldn't play right in a hurry. He hit the edge of the football and the side of his foot collided with the football.

The moment he shot, Zhang Tiehan was a little annoyed.

The football had already rushed out, and its speed was no less than the shot just now. What's strange is that the football had some rotation in the air and fell suddenly when it flew to the highest point.

Kevin Poole in front of the goal was much more cautious when Zhang Tiehan got the ball. He kept staring at Zhang Tiehan, staring at the ball under his feet, and watching the football take off high, and he judged that the football would fly out of bounds. He didn't expect the football to fall suddenly?

Kevin stood in front of the door without any response.

At the same time, the football had fallen and rushed straight to the upper right corner of the goal. The large shot on the scene also pointed to Bolton's goal. The only thing Kevin had to follow the football route was his eyes. He stood there without moving, but just watched the football fall into the upper right corner of the goal, as if he was enjoying a beautiful picture.

The ball...into it!?

The Bolton players didn't even react for a while. Not only them, the referee was stunned for a moment. He just judged that the football was out of bounds and thought it was a goal ball. He didn't expect the football to score just now. After reacting, he immediately blew a whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.

It was not until this time that the stadium burst into cheers of tsunamis.
Chapter completed!
