Chapter 41 Almost a complete victory

The first goal planned by Chu Zhongtian helped Wimbledon open the situation. Hartley Winterney couldn't continue to defend himself because he was behind. They had to come out to seek an offensive opportunity, otherwise they would have to end the trip to Wimbledon with this score.

For Hartley Winterney, losing one goal is losing, and losing two goals is also losing. Since that is the case, there is no objection to conservativeness. Losing is zero points. If you can score one goal, you can at least get one point. If you are lucky and score two goals in a row, you may be able to take away three points!

Hartley Winterney came out and gave Wimbledon a chance.

Chu Zhongtian didn't need to organize an attack anymore. Facing the opponent's defense line, Russell could handle it alone.

Chu Zhongtian rushed up with anticipation and waved to Russell: "Pass the ball to me! Pass the ball to me!"

But Russell and his previous attitude came one hundred and eighty degrees, and he ignored his call at all. After getting the ball, he turned around and passed the ball forward.

After looking at it for a while, Chu Zhongtian found that Russell could handle the responsibility of organizing the offense alone, he finally figured out what was going on.

"Fuck me, kill the donkey!" he spat and cursed dissatisfiedly.

Since the team has opened up, it is naturally impossible to use it and then insert the attack.

Chu Zhongtian was a little disappointed because he passed the ball to Borge just now. After he reacted, he felt very excited. The wonderful feeling made him feel endlessly in his heart.

If only I could do it again… “Chu!”

Eames stood on the sidelines and whistled at him.

"Pay attention to defense!"

The head coach shouted, and Chu Zhongtian had no choice but to give up and continue dreaming. He retreated and stood in front of the central defender, ready to deal with the opponent's possible attack.

Until the halftime break, Hartley Winterney did not get any decent offensive opportunities. Perhaps it was because they had been defending for too long and had forgotten how to attack. Or perhaps it was because they only knew how to defend and counterattack. If they were asked to take the initiative to attack, they would be unable to find North.

Anyway, Chu Zhongtian did not suffer much test. Instead, Russell became active again, planned several attacks, threatening Hartley Winterney's goal, and they took it back. They received instructions from their head coach, and before the end of the first half, they should not continue to lose the ball, even if they were one goal behind, it didn't matter. The gap between this goal can be scored in the second half.

So when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score on the field was still 1:0, and the home team Wimbledon led. This ball came from Chu Zhongtian's planning and organization.

※※※"Chu, the pass you guy just now was amazing! How did you see the blog over there (bolge, Bolge's nickname in the team) inserted?" Sim Johnston asked while patting Chu Zhongtian's shoulder.

In the locker room, he was no longer the first person to ask Chu Zhongtian this question.

"Intuition, intuition, hey!" Chu Zhongtian answered these questions with this reason.

This is a great reason. For things that you can't explain clearly, it is correct to use "intuition" to explain them. Many times players really rely on "intuition" on the court to help them make judgments. Sometimes, brain analysis alone can no longer keep up with the ever-changing situation. Only by responding with physical instinct can it be effective, and the one who directs this physical instinct is naturally "intuition".

So no one doubted Chu Zhongtian.

Borge approached Chu Zhongtian, tilted his head and stared at him for a long time, and finally murmured: "I still can't believe that the ball was passed by you... By the way, your pass was a little bigger. If it weren't for my speed fast enough, I might not have received it."

Chu Zhongtian said to him: "It is precisely because of your speed that you pass such a ball. If you pass slowly and lightly, you will not be able to achieve sudden results. Don't you always say that you are the fastest in the team? I just gave you a speed to show it, and you haven't thanked me yet."

Chu Zhongtian could already accept this fact calmly - the beautiful ball was indeed passed by himself. So when talking about this pass, he could also talk freely, without any shame.

Chu Zhongtian said that he was the first in the team in the speed team, and Borger was very useful. His speed has always been his biggest weapon. Of course, speed is his biggest weapon and also limits his growth in other aspects, so his physical ability to fight is very weak. Therefore, he was also laid off by Wimbledon Professional Football Club, and like Russell, he became an eliminated person.

Borger grinned and happily patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "It's well spread, boy!"

Eames and Ingrich walked into the locker room at the end. He clapped his hands and the locker room immediately became quiet.

"You did not do badly in the first half," Eames said. "Especially Chu, not only did he complete the defensive tasks well, but he also helped the team very much in offense."

He rarely praises a person alone, and Chu Zhongtian today is an exception. Chu Zhongtian suddenly received envious gazes from many teammates.

Chu Zhongtian also enjoyed the feeling of being praised by the head coach alone, and he smiled.

"But I want to remind you that the situation in the second half will be a little more complicated. If the opponent loses a goal, they will definitely try their best to counterattack. If you still press on and attack like in the first half, I bet you will definitely suffer another loss. Have you forgotten the game between us and Chipstie and Ashu United?"

Wimbledon scored the winning goal at the last moment of the game. In the game against Chipsti, he was even more advantageous and was attacked by the opponent because he was pressed across the board.

Eames mentioned these two games to prevent the players from being proud of themselves. These players are not professional players, at most they are semi-professional players, and it is very common to be proud of them. After winning a game, I don’t know what my surname is, and I think I can play invincible all over the world. The following game is likely to lead to a failure.

"So Chu, if I don't agree in the second half, you don't go up and participate in the offense and consolidate the midfield defense."

Chu Zhongtian was a little disappointed. Such emotions would not have happened before. He used to do whatever the coach asked him to do. Now, after hearing that he would not let him go forward to participate in the attack, he felt a little unhappy. Until now, he was still savoring the moment he passed the ball to Borge, which was a wonderful feeling.

Although he was a little disappointed, Chu Zhongtian still nodded. He knew the importance of defense. Now it is indeed time to pay attention to defense. He believes that in the second half of the game, he will definitely not be too leisurely.

Eames continued to allocate tactics, and Russell was asked to take on the responsibility of organizing the offense. Everyone else had to cooperate with him in running positions. Because if the opponent wanted to attack, in order to ensure the safety of his defense line, he would definitely be offside. If he was still standing in the frontcourt, he would be afraid that he would fall into the opponent's offside trap again and again. So he had to keep running in the frontcourt and find a suitable route. If not, then use the running to create it yourself.

Compared with those offensive players, Chu Zhongtian’s mission is really simple - just stop the opponent’s attack.

After making the tactical adjustments in the second half, Eames clapped his hands: "Okay, guys. Forget the first half, and use a fierce attack to hit their defense line at the beginning of the second half to score early, so that we will be more proactive."

※※When Wimbledon's players returned to the court, they heard the fans' tsunami cheers.

This is a reward for their first half lead.

Chu Zhongtian easily found Emily and his fellow villager Yang Yang in the crowd, as well as three people standing behind them, like the wall-blocking boss John, and other companions from the Duns Bar. Now more than Emily can hold a sign to cheer himself up. Colin John, the owner of Duns Bar, is quite business-minded. He and Jack Xu held a banner with a note saying: "Chu, you are the pride of our Duns Bar!"

The other characters are all black, but the "Dons_pub" (dons_pub) is red, which looks very eye-catching on the white cloth strips.

Well, now everyone knows that there is such a bar. If John wants, he can also write the address of the Duns bar below, and then attract more customers to enjoy Chu Zhongtian, the defensive hero on the court, poured wine for them obediently.

Even though the boss used himself as a signboard in the bar, Chu Zhongtian still waved to them. After all, someone cheered him on, and that felt good.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian wave to them, the people from Duns Bar cheered loudly.

Emily even pointed to the sign in her hand that said "Chu, come on!" and threw a wild kiss at Chu Zhongtian.

At that time, Chu Zhongtian just turned his face and ran towards his position, but he didn't see this scene. Otherwise, I really don't know how much he still has in the second half of the game.

Yang Yang, who was standing next to him, was frightened. Emily was interested in Chu Zhongtian or unintentional...※※※After the second half, everything was as analyzed by coach Eames. Hartley Winterney was unwilling to fail. They strengthened the offensive, but when they interrupted Chu Zhongtian in the middle of the midfield twice in a row, their arrogance was overwhelmed by Wimbledon's offensive craze and finally completely extinguished.

Wimbledon hit the opponent's goal one after another amid the cheers of the home fans, striving to score another goal as quickly as possible to completely defeat the opponent's fighting spirit.

Russell organized the offense in the frontcourt. Because the opponent had to press the attack, he gave him more space and time to control the ball and pass the ball. In such a loose environment, he seemed to be in a state of water.

Repeatedly using their passes to create opportunities for teammates, Kevin Cooper and Joe Shilin threatened Hartley Winterney's goal with their shots in the front, Borger and Andy Sullivan cooperated with Russell's passes on both sides, and sometimes they switched positions with each other.

Chu Zhongtian looked at them from behind, a little envious.

However, he also knew that if he did not provide protection for them and his defenders and intercepted defense in the backcourt, the people in front would not be able to enjoy such freedom and pleasure. Different positions, different divisions of labor, and different responsibilities.

I am a defensive midfielder, a blue-collar worker who does dirty work and tiring work. Since I can't go up and participate in the offense, I can only vent my extra energy into the defense.

Russell was too sticky when he was in control of the ball, and finally he was cut off by two opponents. Hartley Winterney, who had broken the ball, made a quick counterattack.

In the previous game, they had fully realized that Wimbledon's Eastern Hole wearing the No. 8 jersey was a very fierce character in defense. So this time, they directly bypassed Chu Zhongtian, who was guarding the middle lane, and turned to the wing lane.

Chu Zhongtian took a look at the ball that had been kicked on the side and turned to run towards the penalty area. It was enough for the defense to grasp a key point - no matter what the process was, the offense would eventually return to the middle. No matter how beautiful the breakthrough on the side was, it would have to cross it. If it didn't cross it, it would be cut in. There were very few shots directly on the side. So once you entered, you would be repeatedly played, such as Basten's volley shot at the 1988 European Championships, and Robert Carlos's cross from Real Madrid to volley shot, and for example, Vieri's zero-angle shot after passing the goalkeeper at the bottom line when he played at Atletico Madrid.

This situation rarely occurs, so it is called a classic. Such special cases cannot change the general principles of defense.

Chu Zhongtian ignored Hartley Winterney's players on the wing, where his full-back teammates were responsible. Andy Sullivan was also quickly returning to the defense to help defend. He ran straight to the penalty area, no matter whether the opponent was planning to cross or cut in, he was definitely waiting there.

The opponent's player was wearing a No. 11 jersey. Chu Zhongtian didn't know what his name was because there was no name printed on the number, and the same was true on Wimbledon's jersey. He could only recognize people according to the number.

After stopping the ball from No. 11, he faced Wimbledon's left-back Keith Ward Ward can play multiple positions, and Eames also played his role to the extreme, allowing him to play left back, right back, central defender, and defensive midfielder.

However, he has a speed disadvantage when playing fullback... No. 11 has figured out Ward's characteristics in previous games - it is indeed difficult to break through with frontal defense, and he is very experienced in using fouls and small moves. But speed is not his characteristic.

Grasping this, No. 11 just stopped the ball and hit forward, then suddenly accelerated, caught Ward off guard!

By the time Ward turned around, the opponent had already entered the penalty area, and even if he rushed forward at this time, it would be useless.

But his eyes lit up and he saw a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, the person standing in front of No. 11 was Chu Zhongtian!

No. 11 obviously didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to appear in front of him so soon, but he is no stranger to Chu Zhongtian. In the previous games, when he appeared in the middle twice, he was ruined by Chu Zhongtian.

This time he came to the sidewalk, but unexpectedly he met Chu Zhongtian... Seeing Chu Zhongtian appear in front of him, No. 11 had to slow down because if he continued to accelerate, his control over the ball would be reduced. Within such a small range in the penalty area, a slight mistake in the ball control would lead to the change of ownership.

He slowed down and planned to use his footwork and fake moves to shake Chu Zhongtian. The current situation is beneficial to him, because any defensive player will have to be cautious when he is in the penalty area, and hesitate when he makes a move, which provides him with good conditions for breaking through. As long as he can shake a little bit of space, he can break through!

But he was wrong.

When his left shoulder sinks and makes a false move to break through to the sideline, while lifting his right foot as if he wants to pivot the ball, Chu Zhongtian suddenly fell to the ground and shovels at the football between his legs!

No. 11's right foot was lifted up, and his left foot was a little far from the football. Now the football was outside his control. Chu Zhongtian's tackle was suddenly accurate and fierce, and he directly shoveled the football from between his legs. No. 11 also responded quickly, and immediately pressed down on the center of gravity, spread his arms and threw him on Chu Zhongtian. Of course, he had not forgotten to scream: "Oh!"

Chu Zhongtian didn't care about that much. He raised his body and looked at the situation - the football he had shoveled just below Ward's feet, who was returning to defense, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he remember to go to see the referee.

Not only him, everyone was watching the referee. The referee hooked up at the two players who fell in the penalty area: "Get up, man."

Chu Zhongtian pushed away the No. 11 player pressing against him and jumped up from the ground.

The No. 11 player who was pushed aside by Chu Zhongtian slapped the ground in anger and then got up from the ground unwillingly. At this time, Wimbledon had already hit the ball to the opponent's half... Wimbledon fans in the stands cheered for Chu Zhongtian's key defense, and were also mocking the opponent's No. 11 player who was planning to cheat the penalty kick.

Emily patted Yang Yang on the shoulder hard: "Chu is really good!"

Yang Yang was grinning by her: Chu Zhongtian performed well, but don’t always pat my shoulders...※※※In the next game, Hartley Winterney was stubbornly blocked by Chu Zhongtian and his teammates in the offense, and faced a crowded attack like Russell and others while defending. They persisted until the 57th minute of the game, and the goal finally fell.

When Russell dribbled the ball horizontally at the front of Hartley Winterney's penalty area, he suddenly twisted his body and passed it straight to his side and back. Joe Shilin understood it and ran diagonally, never stepped forward in the position of offside. He received the ball behind all the defenders of Hartley Winterney. Then when the opponent's defender was still raising his hand to signal him to offside, he had already kicked the ball into the opponent's goal!

2:0!

Seven minutes later, Wimbledon got a corner kick. Although Chu Zhongtian headed well, he was asked by Eames to stay in the end and be responsible for preventing the opponent from counterattacking. At this time, Eames obviously believed in Chu Zhongtian more.

Both of the team's central defenders rushed up.

Russell kicked the football in front of the goal, and it suddenly felt like the sea breeze blew by the sea, several long people surged, forming a wave in front of the goal.

Chu Zhongtian could see clearly from behind that Sim Johnston beat everyone and hit the ball.

He raised his arms and prepared to cheer for the goal.

The football passed over the opponent's head against a player near the goal post and hit the net!

Chu Zhongtian clenched his hands into fists.

3:0!

"Ula-!!" King Ranch gave a huge cheer.

※※※Nothing can stop Wimbledon from winning this game. Even in the 87th minute, the opponent took advantage of Wimbledon's defensive negligence and scored a goal by counterattacking, it did not affect the interest of the fans in the stands. They kept singing and applauding to cheer for the team.

In such an atmosphere, Yang Yang couldn't help but learn from them to applaud at the rhythm, and sang a song that he didn't know what lyrics it was. Anyway, he just needed to yell. It didn't matter if it wasn't in tune, and it didn't matter if there was no lyrics.

Only Chu Zhongtian was a little dissatisfied with the goal loss. He hoped to shave the opponent's head... that would be a complete victory. Now... it's like a piece of white jade with a little flaw.

In the end, amid the singing of more than 3,100 fans at home, Wimbledon won the game with a score of 3:1 and won their third victory of the season.

For most fans, this is just an ordinary victory.

But for Chu Zhongtian, this game will be destined to occupy a very important position in his life - because he experienced the pleasure and fun of organizing an offense in person for the first time in the game. It was an indescribable feeling, just a pass was enough to make him happy all day.
