Chapter 108 Correa(1/2)
jjb stadium broadcast room.
Mick Williams was looking at the big screen. He could see the stadium directly outside the broadcast room window, but the distance was a little far and could not be seen clearly. On the big screen, he could see everything clearly. When Zhang Tiehan shook Correa with his back, Williams immediately shouted excitedly, "Zhang got the ball, and he threw Correa away!"
Williams was very excited when he looked at the helpless expression on Correa's face.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tiehan shot!
"Zhang! He raised his foot and shot! Oh..."
Looking at the big screen, the football flew high up to the sky. That angle had nothing to do with the goal. Williams sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that it's a bit high." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the football suddenly fall into the goal.
For a moment, Williams was so surprised that he didn't react.
After a few seconds of stunnedness, watching the numbers on the scoreboard of the stadium changed, Williams stood up excitedly and shouted, "goal!goal! The ball is in! The ball is in! It's Zhang! Zhang! This is a fallen leaf ball. My God, I thought the football would fly out of bounds just now, but this ball was too unexpected..."
"But the ball went in! It went in!"
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!”
"A wonderful long shot from our hardman-Zhang-" With Williams' yelling, the Wigan fans in the audience gathered enthusiastically.
The jjb stadium reached ** in an instant!
All, all Wigan fans jumped from their seats, raised their arms and celebrated in a way they could think of, and they shouted, "Zhang! Zhang! Wigan! Wigan!"
...
Seeing this goal, Wigan media felt relieved. Before the game, many people said that Wigan Athletics had no hope, but now, the first half of the first half was only halfway through, and Wigan Athletics was the first to score a goal, and they all felt very happy.
Sky TV was responsible for commenting on Cedric's archenemy Alfi. Since Chelsea's game, Alfi has fallen in love with Wigan's football. He likes to watch Zhang Tiehan's games, and he feels like he has become Zhang Tiehan's fan.
But before the game, he felt very bad when he got the information, because many people were not optimistic about Wigan Athletics.
There is no hope for Wigan Athletics;
Wigan's skills eliminate Bolton, unless a miracle happens;
Wigan Athletics will be out, and it is already good that they can get to this day.
All of the above are comments from various media. Alfie really hopes that Wigan Athletics will win. He believes in miracles. "Before the game, many media said that Wigan Athletics wants to advance, and they can only pray that miracles will happen, but now, I can say that miracles are being staged. God, no, it is the Wigan people who are unveiling the mystery of miracles for us. We will see the miracles appear step by step and see his true face!"
Alfi commented on the goal.
"There is another goal. As long as you score another one, Wigan Athletics will tie the score. It seems that the miracle is not far away."
Yes, it's not far away. At least, Bolton coach Allardyce has felt the urgency.
Bolton holds two goals advantage.
The advantages of two goals are considered a lot in football games, and the advantages are very big, but when it comes to the court, I don’t think much of the advantage. For example, now, if the opponent scores a goal, isn’t there only one advantage left?
Is there a lot of one ball?
Bolton fans were in the same mood as Allardyce, and they fell into silence as Wigan fans celebrated the goal.
It's time for Wigan, and they can only look at the stadium lightly and wait for the game to start with worry.
The Bolton player looked confused - Zhang Tiehan's goal made them not know what to do. The goal was too sudden, and he caught the ball and shot directly, and then suddenly turned into a fallen leaf ball. Goalkeeper Kevin Poole had no reaction at all.
Such goals are of great luck.
Because of this, Bolton players felt even more sudden. They actually had a certain advantage before, but the opponent suddenly scored a goal. Although they must admit that the No. 13 long shot was indeed very threatening, but threat did not mean the goal. They felt very uneasy when they scored a goal suddenly.
They looked in the direction of the coach's seat.
Allardyce was no longer in his seat, and the faint smile on his face that he was sure to win was gone. He stood there, looking at the stadium with a solemn expression.
He and his players are very clear that a ball advantage seems to be an advantage, but if they are not careful, their advantage will be gone, and it will become extremely difficult for them to gain an advantage.
...
On the court.
After Zhang Tiehan shot, he looked at the football in annoyance. He saw the football going to fly out of the field and suddenly fell into the opponent's goal, and his face looked stunned.
He didn't expect a goal.
He obviously didn't play right, but the football went in so strangely. He was completely unprepared. As a result, he realized when his teammates came over to celebrate.
"Zhang! That's great!"
"Haha, Zhang! I knew you could do it! This ball is so handsome!"
"Good job, Zhang!"
"We will tie the game if we enter another one!"
All the Wigan Athletics players were very excited and they were celebrating what it means to score a goal halfway through the first half.
There is only one ball gap!
As long as they can score another goal, they will tie the score. At that time, they and Everton will stand on the same starting line, and are likely to eliminate their opponents and enter the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. That will be a lifelong glory worth remembering.
Everyone knows this, the players, coaches, fans, so they are very happy.
Zhang Tiehan was also very excited by the crowd. He didn't expect the ball to be scored. It seemed that he was lucky. He laughed and waved his fists, "Haha, look! I said I could score a goal! God is standing behind me!"
Although this is a balloon of luck, sometimes luck is also a kind of strength.
It is difficult for him to play that kind of ball for the second time, but once is enough, once is a goal, and he is already very satisfied.
...
Bolton was very upset about the goal loss. They thought they would win easily, but they didn't expect that the opponent would score the first goal, especially their defender Cesar Santos Correa. He felt that the loss was his own reason. If he hadn't been easily swept by, the No. 13 would not have a chance to shoot.
After the game started over, Correa focused more on Zhang Tiehan.
Whenever Zhang Tiehan ran to the frontcourt, Correa would take the initiative to defend. He kept following Zhang Tiehan and did not give him room to display. He was determined to give Zhang Tiehan some excellence.
Such restrictions are very effective.
Zhang Tiehan got the ball significantly less, and even if he got the ball, Correa had already posted it most of the time. If he wanted to shoot or even pass the ball, he had to throw away Correa.
So the two began to fight continuously.
When Zhang Tiehan gets the ball at the front of the penalty area, Correa will follow him. He can only squeeze around with his butt to make room for himself to turn around. Correa gritted his teeth and squeezed without giving in, but on two occasions he was squeezed away by Zhang Tiehan.
Only then did Correa realize the strength of Zhang Tiehan.
He couldn't even stand firmly, and only by leaning forward can he maintain balance. If he was squeezed by the other party, he would fall to the ground directly. Not to mention how the referee was punished, Correa was really embarrassing. Even if Correa tried his best, he could not let himself lose such a big face.
So when Zhang Tiehan wanted to squeeze him away again, Correa forced a violent impact and took the initiative to lean forward.
But even so, Correa still couldn't grab the ball, and as a result, he pushed his knees towards Zhang Tiehan's thigh. Zhang Tiehan felt his legs numb and almost fell to the ground. Correa took the opportunity to poke the ball away.
The referee's whistle also rang out.
Correa made a foul and the ball returned to Wigan Athletics, but Zhang Tiehan still did not leave Correa. Even if the ball came back, he missed the opportunity.
Correa took the initiative to apologize to Zhang Tiehan and then returned to the penalty area.
He didn't think so in his heart.
Just now, he was purely fighting back at Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Tiehan passed him once and squeezed himself away again and again. He just told Zhang Tiehan with a foul: "Boy, don't think that you can squeeze me away with great strength. You can squeeze people, and I can also dominate people!"
...
In the hand-to-hand battle between the two, Zhang Tiehan took advantage at the beginning. He was stronger, and he took the initiative with the ball every time.
Gradually, Correa also summarized some experiences.
He would not fight with Zhang Tiehan head-on, but instead used some other methods to fight. Whenever his body could not withstand it, he would push Zhang Tiehan on the back. If he didn't do it, he would take a step back when Zhang Tiehan used force, avoided the head-on confrontation, and took the opportunity to grab the ball. If he couldn't grab the ball, Correa chose to make a direct foul.
The two of them kept fighting each other.
On the other hand, Bolton also began to try to play more offenses. They conceded one goal and only had one goal advantage in hand, but this goal was quite critical. If they could score another goal, even if Wigan Athletic scored two more, they would not be able to eliminate them.
So goals are very important to Bolton.
It's just that this is the jjb stadium, and before the game, Jerville had a very strict defense arrangement, so it was difficult for them to find a good opportunity in a short time.
Until the end of the first half, Bolton did not find any good opportunities, and the same was true for Wigan Athletics. They attacked few times in passive defense, let alone opportunities.
...
Allardyce hurried back to the locker room.
The halftime break is very important for Bolton. He didn't expect the game to be like this. At present, he has two problems to solve, one is how to score goals, and the other is how to limit the opponent's goals.
How to score a goal is still very important.
Before, they didn't think that Zhang Tiehan's goal at Reebok Stadium was of use, but now this goal has become very critical. If Bolton does not score a away goal, Wigan Athletics will eliminate them as long as they score another goal and tie the score.
They have to score a goal to offset that away goal, so that they can take the absolute initiative.
In addition, it must also be taken seriously in defense.
Their defense was very stable in the first half, but the only thing was the opponent's No. 13 long shot, which was completely unreasonable, was hard to say that it was really restricted.
This is really a problem.
After all, the opponent's shot was outside the penalty area and was also a player who was inserted in the back. Bolton could not send people to guard the game, so the tactics would be messed up.
This is really a bit difficult.
