Chapter 110: Entering the finals

When Zhang Tiehan threw the ball into the goal of Bolton, all the fans of Wigan went crazy. They all stood up from their seats as if they had agreed.

They raised their arms and shouted out all the sounds they could imagine. They only knew how to roar desperately to vent their excitement at this moment and to celebrate the goal as necessary.

"Huh-la-la-la-la-"

At this moment, there was only a loud bang at the jjb stadium, which was like a roaring mountain torrent, thunder rolling in the sky and earth, and nothing else could be heard.

Williams even forgot to report the goal, but shouted in surprise, "Miracle! God! This is a miracle! God!"

Alfi, who was just a commentator on Sky TV, was not affected. He was amazed and reported the goal, "The ball was in! Zhang's shot! It was clean and neat! He shook Correa and Barnes away and scored the second goal for Wigan Athletic with a beautiful long shot!"

"This goal also allowed Wigan Athletic to tie the score. They tied with Bolton in two rounds, but Wigan Athletic's advantage is very obvious. They have an away goal. According to the rules of the League Cup, if the game ends, they will eliminate Bolton by relying on the advantage of away goals in the previous game..."

With his reports, Wigan didn't know how many fans were cheering.

They have a reason to do so.

After the last game, Wigan spread a sense of despair. Even if the extreme fans stubbornly believed that the team could advance and eliminate Bolton, it was irrational after all. If you think rationally, Wigan's chances really don't have many opportunities. Even Wigan's media reports made pessimistic arguments about Wigan's qualifying.

What this means is self-evident.

Now that Wigan Athletics has caught up with the score, and they have the advantage of away goals, it is really like a miracle. Before the game starts, everyone knows that Wigan Athletics can qualify at 2:0, but it sounds simple, but it is not easy to play 2:0?

As long as Bolton scores one goal, Wigan Athletics will need to win three goals.

Facing Bolton, the Premier League quarterfinals team, if you want to win three goals, it is almost no different from Fantasy. Moreover, there is still a problem with Wigan Athletics, that is, Ridell is absent due to injury. This has an impact on Wigan Athletics, even a few young Wigan fans can say a few words.

Now they see the score of 2:0, it is like there is no way out in the mountains, but they have found a broad road in darkness. It is difficult to understand the feeling that you don’t really understand.

In the eyes of Wigan fans, this is really a miracle!

...

On the court, the Wigan Athletics players were also crazy.

After scoring the goal, Zhang Tiehan ran to the audience frantically, and then ran around the audience. He kept holding his right hand and signaling to various Wigan fans. The fans also responded with warm cheers. When he stopped slowly, he had already run around the audience for half a circle.

He gasped heavily, but his face was filled with excitement. Then he was surrounded by his teammates.

The teammates held Zhang Tiehan in the air and threw it two or three times. Brekin made Zhang Tiehan stand up straight in a funny way. Everyone else watched. Brekin bowed down and bowed in an exemplary manner, and made a move to blew kiss Zhang Tiehan's sneakers. The others also learned how to behave. They smiled and did the movements.

This is to worship Zhang Tiehan!

This action was seen by the fans, and they learned to bow. The scene of more than 20,000 Wigan fans bowing together was very gorgeous, and some Wigan media reporters followed suit. There were worship figures everywhere in the audience. Zhang Tiehan was a little confused and Brecking asked Zhang Tiehan to raise his right hand high to greet the fans, which looked like a king inspecting his subjects.

"This is what you deserve!" said Brekin.

"Yes, Zhang! Look at those fans, they are all worshiping you!"

"Haha, enjoy the moment of becoming king!"

"We are proud of you, the Wigans are proud of you!" Ellington said, and everyone else stared at him blankly, and he immediately added, "I went to Andy's place before, and he said that when you help the team equalize, I will give you this sentence."

Zhang Tiehan was a little moved. He hugged all his teammates and kept saying, "Thank you! Haha!"

...

"Zhang scored another goal and we equalized the score! Even before the game, I had confidence in the team, but I am still very excited now, God! I really didn't expect the game to be like this, Zhang! He scored the second goal for Wigan Athletics, which was more expensive than gold. His two goals pulled Bolton off the clouds, and they fell to the world and had to face the reality! The reality is that if the game ends, Wigan Athletics will eliminate Bolton and enter the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!"

Mick Williams finally suppressed his emotions and began to talk nonstop, "This goal came too timely, two long shots, two goals, Zhang Yong scored a goal and kicked Bolton into the abyss. It would be too difficult for them to climb out again..."

"But I'm sorry to say that at this moment, what I thought was that if the goal came later... Bolton wouldn't even have a chance to climb out, but I think the heroes we competed on the field would not give Bolton any chance..."

With Williams' words, the court returned to peace. Under the urging of Bolton players, the referee quickly let the two teams stand in place and prepare to kick off.

Time has reached the 87th minute of the game.

...

Correa stood in the backcourt, looking at the opposite side with his hands on his hips, his eyes pointing directly at the figure of No. 13. His expression was a little helpless and unwilling.

He was just shook by Zhang Tiehan.

It should be said that he and Barnes were shaken away by Zhang Tiehan. He thought he could limit Zhang Tiehan, but he didn't expect that he would be shaken away with his teammates. He didn't expect that Zhang Tiehan actually shook him away and scored another goal.

If Barnes is not considered, the goal is to withdraw with the first one - turn around and throw him away, and score the ball!

He was a little annoyed.

He was thrown away twice, scored twice, and both goals were related to him. Correa felt ashamed. He also vowed to defend the opponent during the break, but recalling that it seemed that it was because he failed to limit the opponent that the team had come to this situation.

There is not much time left for the game.

The team is almost in desperate situation. What they have to do is not defense, but offense. Only by scoring goals can you have a chance, and defense will not have any effect. Correa knows that his game mission is over, and the next is the final impact time. It is best to score goals, and he doesn't have to do any defense if he can't score goals.

Correa understands, and so do other Bolton players.

Bolton is in a desperate situation!

What they have to do now is to press the entire line and bombard the goal of Wigan Athletics. Even goalkeeper Kevin Poole has to step forward at the last moment. Being able to have more opportunities is a chance. As for Wigan Athletics' counterattack, it is no longer within their consideration.

When the game started again, Bolton immediately sieged the Wigan Athletic goal.

When the football reached the Wigan Athletic half, Bolton had only two players left in the first half. One was Barnes who was running slowly and was about to cross the center line, and the other was goalkeeper Kevin Poole who had already walked out of the penalty area.

Under such a siege, Wigan Athletics could only defend the entire line, setting up an eleven-person iron barrel array in front of the goal to limit the opponent.

When Wigan Athletics players complete steals or get the ball because of out of bounds, their choice is to immediately get the ball away from the goal. They don't even get the ball in their half, and when they have the ball, they will directly drive off the court, as if only this is safe.

But Bolton played hard.

Under the Iron Barrel of Wigan Athletics, it became very difficult for them to cooperate with something, and they had no room for shooting.

Wigan fans in the audience also became furious.

Whenever Bolton players get the ball, they make ruthless "boo" and roar. They applaud warmly without the football at the feet of the Wigan Athletics players, although Wigan Athletics players often kick the ball to the opponent's half with one foot.

In such an atmosphere, coupled with an anxious mentality, the Bolton players are not in much better shape, and they make frequent mistakes in their cooperation.

Wigan Athletics is very strict.

They knew very well that as long as they held on for these few minutes, they could eliminate Bolton and complete the "miracle" mentioned by the media before the game.

...

The game entered the overtime phase.

The fourth official raised the overtime card, and the number '3' above told everyone that the game would take three minutes to stoppage time. Bolton was very dissatisfied with this. They thought that Wigan Athletics wasted too much time in celebrating the goal, and Wigan fans were also very dissatisfied, and they wanted the game to end directly.

Time is leaving in their hearts.

Media reporters who supported Wigan, while sitting in the media seat for a few seconds, waited for the end of the game to celebrate the victory and interviewed the players of Wigan Athletics.

But three minutes is still very long...

So they tried not to watch the game and began to talk to each other about the next opponent of Wigan Athletics and the Arsenal and Middlesbrough matches at the same time, which made the media supporting Bolton very embarrassed. Before the game started, they were talking about Bolton's League Cup final, but now it seemed that it turned into a delusion.

If there is a movie called "Dreamy", then they are the protagonists in it.

That must be a humorous comedy about the sorrow of life.

Bolton players are much more pessimistic than the media supporting Bolton. After all, they are the game and they are working hard for Bolton. They want to make a last-minute attempt, but they can't find a chance. In a few minutes, they can't even get a good shot. In desperation, they can only choose to shoot from a long distance frequently. However, such shots either hit people or have nothing to do with the goal.

They had previously believed that victory should belong to Bolton, but the cruel reality told them that football really had no reason. Their overall strength advantages, their goal advantage at Reebok Stadium, became extremely pale under the opponent's No. 13's long-range shot.

Speaking of the other party’s No. 13…

The Bolton player looked over and found that No. 13 was standing in front of his penalty area, running back and forth. He ran very fast and kept sprinting back and forth to chase the ball, which made the Bolton player not dare to stop the ball at all, because someone was intercepted just now.

This caused quite a lot of trouble for Bolton's offense.

If only looking at these few minutes, who could imagine that No. 13, who scored two goals by himself, was a complete striker shooter? His defense is simply better than that of professional midfielder and world-class defender.

Time passes in seconds.

Quantitative changes will produce qualitative changes, and time also follows this rule. Sixty seconds passed and three minutes passed in a flash. The attack failed again. The Bolton players had given up. They sent out the outbound ball and passed two passes in the backcourt.

At the same time, all Wigan fans also stood up.

Concentrating on everyone's eyes, the referee who finally became the protagonist did not make this moment come too late. He looked down at his watch, and when he approached, he blew three whistles with rhythm, announcing that the whole game was officially over.

"The whole game is over! Wigan Athletic eliminated Bolton and entered the League Cup final!"
Chapter completed!
