Wigan Athletic goalkeeper is John Firan, an Australian player born in 1970.

Since he was 20 years old, Philan has been in the English League, but he has been the 'second goalkeeper' for ten seasons since he left Cambridge United in the third division, went to Coventry, and then joined Blackburn.

The goalkeeper is different from other positions. The ‘second goalkeeper’ sounds good, but the number of appearances cannot be guaranteed.

It was not until he joined Wigan Athletics in 2001 that Feilan won the main position, and he was 31 years old at that time.

The goalkeeper's position also has an advantage, that is, his career is longer than other positions. Feilan has firmly secured the main goalkeeper with rich experience and calm performance.

As an old goalkeeper, Philan has rich experience and he is quite confident in his abilities.

When he saw the opponent's only striker and was about to rush over, Feilan chose to attack immediately, and forced the opponent with his teammates, and had to kick up early.

This has great benefits.

When you passively choose to shoot, your performance may be affected. When you see the opponent lift your legs, Feilan quickly prepared to save, and he also judged the right direction.

Feilan is ready to save!

"This ball will definitely be able to hit!" Just as she thought of this, Feilan saw the football spinning and going around from the right side of her body.

It was gone by!

Feilan widened her eyes, almost thinking that she had hallucinations, but when she turned her head and looked over, she saw the spinning football, drew a wonderful arc and rushed into the goal.

When he turned his head and looked at Braniff who had finished the shot, Feilan's entire face was filled with surprise.

Can this guy play this kind of ball?

It's incredible!

The fans of the entire J Chain Stadium were shocked by Braniff's goal. Most people and Philanthropy had different concerns. They were more concerned about the goal rather than the process of scoring. The moment the football flew into the goal, the stands of the J Chain Stadium showed a short silence.

No one speaks.

Time seems to have stopped.

The players on the field, the people on the bench of the two teams, the fans in the audience, the reporters in the third floor media seats, and all the other staff members, each of them stared at the goal of Wigan Athletics. They couldn't help but react in surprise until they were sure the football was rolling in the goal.

Wigan fans are sighing.

Millwall fans shouted in surprise.

Most of the reporters were still surprised by Braniff's goal, not knowing how to understand Millwall's goal, and the others also had their own hearts. The only thing in common is that everyone was surprised by the goal.

The same is true for the commentator of "Sky Sports". During the live broadcast, he saw the football fly into the goal, and then turned his head and glanced at the stadium from the window. He confirmed that the goal had really happened. He took a long breath and let out a long roar, "Goooooooooooooo..."

The roar did not seem to be aborting.

It was not until the air in his stomach was vomited that the commentator took a breath and continued to shout, "Branif! It's Branif! After getting a long pass in the frontcourt, Branif quickly dribbled the ball and faced goalkeeper Feilan and scored the ball!"

"The score became 0-1, and Millwall, who came to challenge, won the goal! Wigan Athletics is temporarily behind."

"The first half is about to end. In this period of time, the goal has become very critical, but probably many people would not think that Millwall is the one who scored the goal, not Wigan Athletics, which has the advantage on the field..."

Afterwards, as the screen played the slow-motion screen, the commentator immediately began to talk about the shot, "This is a very, very wonderful shot! I shouldn't use any praise words to describe it. We can see from the slow-motion that the football rotated around goalkeeper Feilan. Feilan had no way of doing this, and he didn't even make any reaction!"

"Let's look at the trajectory of football... Oh my God! This is simply a performance, not a real game. This arc is difficult to kick out. Braniff used his outer instep to rub the ball. The football just bypassed goalkeeper Feilan. If he can kick this ball every time, it doesn't matter whether his opponent has a goalkeeper..."

Next, the commentator began to praise Branif. He also focused on introducing to the fans, "Branif has not played for Millwall for two months. Previous media reports said that he had some minor conflicts with the new coach Zhang Yang, but judging from this battle with Wigan Athletics, Branif's starting lineup, the two probably wouldn't have any conflicts, at least Zhang Yang did not take it seriously, otherwise Branif would not have started in such an important game..."

In the comments of the commentator of "Sky Sports", the fans, players and media on the scene were surprised that Braniff could make such a wonderful shot.

Braniff himself was the most surprised.

Although he is only 22 years old, Braniff still has a certain understanding of his ability. Not to mention that he can't play such a perfect shot even if he deliberately plays in training.

But he did it just now!

Braniff recalled the feeling of shooting just now, as if the football was completely controlled, and he could kick the ball wherever he wanted, and even the prescribed trajectory could be achieved.

That's so wonderful!

When many excited teammates came to celebrate, Braniff just wanted to play another ball and try to find a similar feeling. He got rid of his teammate's 'chasing' and shouted at the staff at the bottom line, "Top the ball!"

Someone heard Braniff's words and threw a brand new football over.

Braniff's approach almost angered Wigan Athletics. Millwall scored a goal. What does this guy mean to take the initiative to ask for the ball? Did he want to score another goal while the first half is still a few seconds?

The Wigan Athletic players glared at them.

Braniff ignored them and just hugged the ball and placed it under his feet, then waved his right foot, as if he wanted to kick the ball, but he didn't get the ball after swinging for a long time.

The media on the scene were also confused.

The commentator of "Sky Sports" expressed everyone's doubts, "What is Braniff doing? Do you want to celebrate a football dance? That's really creative, but this dance doesn't seem to be very ornamental. Maybe he has just practiced..."

No matter what Braniff thought or did a strange celebration, the goal was real, and Millwall led Wigan Athletic with one goal.

Many people cannot imagine that Millwall will score first.

The entire first half was Wigan Athletic. Most of the time the football was under Wigan Athletic's control, but this scene happened on the court. Just using a big-footed opportunity to clear the ball, Braniff helped Millwall finish the goal.

Millwall fans celebrated wildly, and the goal was really surprising.

Their numbers are smaller.

When the goal came, their overall cheers were heard by everyone on the scene.

Wigan fans were depressed. They had always had the advantage, but the opponent scored first, and they suddenly had a bad feeling.

The media reporters were not in a good mood. Most of them hoped that Wigan would win. Millwall had been defending before, and they kept ridiculing them. At the same time, they also conducted various analysis, believing that Millwall was just pursuing a draw, but Millwall took the lead in completing the goal. The slap speed in the face was too fast and too ruthless, which made them unable to react.

What else can I say now?

The media that broadcast live text can only say, "In the last moment of the first half, forward Braniff relied on his personal ability to help Millwall complete the goal!"

"The conflict between Braniff and head coach Zhang Yang has long been made public, and then he suffered a two-month suspension. The goal may be a demonstration to the new coach Zhang Yang! We believe that because of this goal, Braniff will gain more recognition and support from fans, and Zhang Yang may start to have a headache!"

This is the way the media found, amplifying the conflict between Braniff and Zhang Yang.

If the fans' focus becomes the "contradiction between a player who can score goals with the current young coach when he appears", it would be nothing more than Millwall's first goal.

This is a way for public opinion to divert attention.

No matter how fast the media reporters turned their minds, they could not change what was going on. Braniff scored a goal and the score became 0-1.

Wigan Athletics is behind.

Javier could not imagine that the one behind was Wigan Athletics, especially at this critical time point. Just two minutes ago, he was complaining that the stoppage time was too short and not enough for Wigan Athletic to score the goal in the last time.

Millwall is now ahead.

No matter how Millwall scored, the goal happened. Wigan Athletics must face it, and he must also want to deal with the strategy.

Javier stood up and left the court without waiting for a longer time.

———

The first half ended 0-1.

The players of both teams returned to the locker room, and no one expected this result. Even the Millwall players were surprised, so everyone was talking about goals on the way.

Branif became the focus of the team, and several teammates surrounded Branif and exclaimed, "I found it incredible that ball that I could actually score in at that time!"

"Yes, that spinning shot!"

"I'm sure this goal will be the best in this round, including the Premier League!"

"It's so beautiful! Little Kevin, I feel like you're about to become famous!"

“…”

Many players also envy Braniff.

Not everyone can play that kind of ball. Often only those big stars can play such a wonderful shot. In comparison, Braniff is unknown, and he may soon become famous.

Listening to the praises from his teammates, Braniff also felt very good, but he still recalled the feeling of shooting-

How did I kick it out?

At that time, I felt that I would definitely be able to get in, so why can’t I find the feeling afterwards?

Zhang Yang was waiting in the locker room and watched the players walk back one by one, including Braniff. He patted Braniff on the shoulder and praised, "That shot is very beautiful!"

Branif was immediately happy.

He likes to hear praise from others, and his teammates are a little better. The head coach's praise makes him very happy, which proves that he has performed well.

Braniff no longer thinks about the conflict with Zhang Yang.

Those have become past tense.

He just felt that it was good to maintain the status quo. He received praise from the whole team, and the whole team was centered on him, and his "status" was higher than before.

When all the players returned to the locker room, Zhang Yang affirmed everyone's performance, "Guys! They did a good job! Everyone did it according to the tactics, and we also took the lead!"

"Of course, thanks to Kevin's performance!"

After being picked up in public and praised, Braniff's face turned red with excitement. Then Zhangyang emphasized seriously, "Continue to keep in the second half! I emphasize again that our tactics remain unchanged. No matter what the opponent does, you are all staying in your own position. You must guard the goal and not give your opponent any chance!"

"Although we took the lead, our opponents are Wigan Athletics! They are not weak teams. If you give them a chance, our advantages will be gone! So I hope everyone can stay calm in the game at any time and take the game seriously at any time!"

The players nodded.
