Chapter 69 Emily is back(1/2)

After Emily got on the bus to Kingston, she remembered that she didn't ask who Wimbledon's opponent was in this game and whether it was home court... so she was not surprised at all when she looked at the empty Kings Ranch.

So who is the opponent in Wimbledon in this game and where is it?

This is not a problem for Emily, who took out her cell phone to call her friends and found out that Wimbledon's opponent, Rains Park Valley, in this game.

Although it is Football, she is not aware of those ninth-level teams. For example, she doesn't know where the stadium of the Rennes Park Valley team, the opponent of Wimbledon in this game, is. She can only look for it slowly.

When it took her half a day to find the Reins Park Stadium where she looked outside, no matter what, she could never imagine that this was a court, the game was coming to an end.

The home court of the Rennes Park Valley team, Reigns Park Stadium, basically has no stands, only a simple and low rostrum, with hundreds of stands. Looking from outside under the shade of green trees, if you don’t pay attention, you don’t know that this is a stadium. You will think it is a free park green space.

Fans who came here to watch the football team surrounded the stadium station, and surrounded the football field three floors inside and three floors outside.

Emily took advantage of her beauty and squeezed into the crowd.

She saw the players on both sides running on the field. Now Wimbledon is getting the ball, they are organizing the attack, and Chu Zhongtian... Emily saw that he had already pressed to the front of the opponent's penalty area.

Emily turned her head to look for the scoreboard on the sidelines. But she couldn't find it.

So she had to ask the home team fans around her.

"Hi, handsome guy, what are you competing now?"

A beautiful woman took the initiative to chat with her, and the young man immediately became energetic: "2:1! Let's lead! Hi, my name is Thompson, may I ask..."

Emily stopped paying attention to the enthusiastic young man behind her, and turned her head to look at the stadium.

When the home team defended Wimbledon's offensive, the fans around the stadium shouted: "The valley will win! The valley will win!"

"The_vale" is the nickname of the Reins Park Valley team. Just as Wimbledon's nickname is "The Mad Gang", almost all England teams have their own nicknames.

After this wave of shouting, Wimbledon fans responded in a tit-for-tat counterattack: "Mad Gang!Mad Gang! We are Mad Gang!!"

Fans of both sides competed outside the stadium, while the players refused to give in to each other on the stadium. There was not much time left for the game, and Wimbledon launched the last wave of offensive.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian received a ball from the centre-back in the backcourt. He looked up at the front and had no time to let them pass it slowly. The most direct way now is to pass it long.

But his own long pass level... Chu Zhongtian thought of the extra training that afternoon. He and Borger were trained by coach Paul Braham at Kings Ranch. They practiced long passes. He spent the afternoon practicing small-angle assists in high-length lob passing.

The advantage of this long pass is that it is fast speed, suddenness and a certain degree of concealment. The disadvantage is that it will not rise suddenly. If there are opponents in the game too close to him, the football may hit the opponents and the long pass will fail. However, he does not have a player from the Rennes Park Valley team around him now, so there is no need to worry about kicking the ball directly onto the opponents... Another disadvantage is that the ball has little rotation or no rotation. The ball will continue to roll forward after landing. If the force is too high, it will directly pass the ball out of bounds. Therefore, to pass the ball to the predetermined place, it requires flying the ball to the ball.

The speed of his movements is keen. This is actually not what Chu Zhongtian should consider now. What he has to do is pass the ball and see if there is a chance... The game is about to end with the last minute left, and the score is still 1:2. In fact, this score has announced that Wimbledon has completely withdrawn from the league championship, because in another game that ended earlier, the league ranked first in the league, Wisdean, had won the game, so the gap between the two sides widened to thirteen points, and there were three rounds left in the league. This is a gap that cannot be surpassed by no means. They have missed the league first.

But this is not a reason to give up this game. Because they still hope to compete for second place in the league and upgrade by playing-offs. The second place in the league Wallingford has not played yet, and the two sides are two points apart. Although Wimbledon is still one goal behind, even if he can score this offense, it is just an equalizer. But one point is always better than zero points. If you can't win a football game, don't lose.

The competition is over, never give up!

Seeing Borge on the side, Chu Zhongtian followed the key points he had practiced countless times during training and swung his feet to send the football out. The football flew to the side.

When Borger saw Chu Zhongtian turn his body to his side, he knew what he was going to do. He practiced with Chu Zhongtian for a whole afternoon and had already become familiar with Chu Zhongtian's small movements before passing the ball. He knew what each movement meant.

So before the football got up, he sprinted towards the bottom line along the side road. Sure enough, just two steps were running, and the football flew towards this side.

Although he had already sprinted back and forth like this for ninety minutes, Borger still gritted his teeth and increased his speed and chased the football in the air for this last chance to attack.

Chu Zhongtian has already sent the ball out. As long as it can fall in that area, it is Borger's responsibility to not receive the ball! Although here, coach Braham will not ask him to pick up the ball first and then run the lap, the punishment for not receiving the ball is much more severe than that!

Borger swept across the right side of the court like lightning, and stretched his legs near the bottom line to receive the ball from Chu Zhongtian!

The ball was unloaded very beautifully, and the football fell steadily and did not get out of the bottom line. Chu Zhongtian performed exceptionally, and Borger also performed exceptionally.

The action of stopping the ball Borge was very well connected. He did not give the opponent's full-back a chance to rush to block it, so he directly made a cross!

The Rennes Park Valley team obviously didn't expect that it would be the case. Wimbledon still wanted to score a goal. Their defense was a bit lax, and the players were waiting for the referee to blew the game whistle that could sound at any time.

So when Borger stopped the football steadily and then made a cross, few defenders in the penalty area of ​​the Reins Park Valley Stadium made the correct response. Kevin Cooper and the crowd broke out and a shovel shot to the goal!

The ball has entered!

2:2!

They equalized the score at the last moment!

Emily cheered the other side, all of them were Wimbledon fans. In response, Emily also jumped up with a "yes". Then she realized that it was in the gathering area of ​​the other fans. She quickly stuck out her tongue, stopped her celebrating, and just waved her fists secretly.

※※※After the goal, Kevin Cooper was still lying on the ground and did not get up. Joe Shilin, who was originally planning to pick up the bargain, rushed into the goal, picked up the football inside and ran towards the center circle. None of the other players at Wimbledon celebrated the goal, and they ran back to their half, waiting for the Reins Park Valley to kick off.

They also hope to score another goal before the game and turn defeat into victory. Although this will not allow them to surpass the league's first Visdean, because there are three rounds left in the league, and the score difference is ten. But at least, they can temporarily overtake them before Wallingford has a game and occupy the second place in the league. If Wallingford accidentally loses the ball, will the second place in the league be back to Wimbledon?

The future is bright, but unfortunately the road is gone.

When the Reins Park Valley kicked the ball out, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game. Wimbledon was unable to win in the end. They equalized the score at the last moment, and were very lucky in the mouths of the home team fans.

No home team fan cared about Emily's actions just now. They discussed the game and began to leave the court. Some people walked directly to the stadium and walked towards the players. They must be old acquaintances with the players. The crowd around the stadium gradually dissipated, and Emily also stepped onto the stadium and walked towards Chu Zhongtian.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian stood on the court and fought for a game. He was a little tired, but fortunately, he was much easier than Borge.

After Borger struggled to catch up with his long pass and made a pass, his left calf cramped and he didn't get up. In order not to delay the game, he climbed out of the court by himself, and was now leaning under the billboard, receiving massage from the team doctor and relaxing his legs.

Everyone tried their best, but it was just a draw. They were destined to lose the league championship this season and lose the qualification to upgrade directly. Even this play-off is not known whether there is any show.

There are three rounds left in the league, one point away from second place Wallingford. Wallingford has not played in this round of the league, so it is hard to say what the final result is now.

Chu Zhongtian gasped and analyzed the situation in his mind. He had not given up yet, although he was a little regretful that he could not win the league championship. This was the mental preparation they had after they lost to Wallingford away. Now he was thinking more about the playoffs, and he had to fight for the playoffs anyway. If Wallingford lost on Wednesday's game and Wimbledon could guarantee a complete victory in the next three games, they would be eligible to participate in the upgraded playoffs... Just when he was thinking about it, his shoulder was gently slapped.

"Emily?"

Chu Zhongtian couldn't believe his eyes. On the Reins Park Stadium, he actually saw the person he hadn't met for more than a month.

"Hi, long time no see, Chu." Emily greeted her with a smile.

"Ah...this..." Chu Zhongtian looked around and finally put his eyes on Emily. "When did you come back?"

“Last night.”

"Then why are you here..."

"I went to school to report, and then I didn't see you. Instead, I met your two friends, Charles and Joseph. I heard that you came to compete and ran over."

"How long have you been here?"

"I caught up with your last ball shortly after just now."

Speaking of the game, Chu Zhongtian's mood fell down. He whispered: "I'm so sorry, Emily. The gift I mentioned may be delayed for a while..."

“Upgrade?”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "I thought the team could do it when you come back... We had already won ten consecutive games at that time... But it doesn't matter, there are three rounds in the league. As long as we win the second in the league, we can participate in the playoffs. As long as we win the playoffs, we can upgrade!" Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists, raised his voice and said to Emily.

Emily laughed: "You are quite confident."

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "Actually, I don't have much confidence."

"Then you say this..."

"I'm just not used to giving up early. There are three rounds in the league, but I don't know who wins and who loses in the end." Chu Zhongtian shrugged.

Emily felt that Chu Zhongtian’s words made sense, so she raised her hands and patted Chu Zhongtian’s shoulders heavily. “Well said it! Then I’ll wait for good news for you, after three rounds!”

※※※Emily's return made Chu Zhongtian feel a little better. However, the team's future was uncertain, and he still couldn't laugh.

Can the three-wheeled agreement be realized?

You should know that this agreement cannot be achieved by hard work, and their destiny is no longer in their own hands. Even if they win all the last three rounds, it still depends on others' expressions.

On Wednesday, Wallingford defeated the visiting Chipstee 1-0 at home. It is said that the game was very thrilling. Chipstee scored a goal in the game, and Wallingford scored at the last minute of the game.

But no matter how thrilling the process was, Wallingford won, and the points gap between them and Wimbledon was widened to four points. For football, good things turned out to be good. If this sentence is put on Wimbledon, who is determined to make mistakes with his opponent, it is "what things turned out to be bad things are absolutely bad things."

Wallingford won, and it was a bad thing for them.

Next, they can only win one after another. There is nothing to say. If you can't win here, then don't think about upgrading as soon as possible. Who will blame yourself if you don't fight?

Perhaps it was the last moment of the goal with the Reins Park Valley team, which greatly boosted the morale factor. In the following Saturday, April 26th, Wimbledon played a lot of fun in their home court against Walton Casuals. In recent times, Wimbledon has rarely played such a wonderful and reassuring game.

The person who played the hero in this game was Andy Sullivan, the player who was not so good but had a real level. He completed a hat trick in this game. The goal time was forty-three, sixty-six, and seventy-nine minutes. Basically, one goal was scored in more than ten minutes. The goal time was evenly distributed. Every goal was scored, it hit the opponent's morale.

Walton Cadras is not a strong team. The league is about to end. They are ranked 18th and there is no danger of relegation because they are twenty-two points away from the second-to-last league and have long been relegated in the n rounds ahead of schedule. They also have no hope of upgrading. They now have 41 points, while the league is third, and Wimbledon, who still hopes to participate in the playoffs, has 102 points.

In addition, it was still away, so Walton Cadras had no fighting spirit in this game. After Wimbledon led two goals, they basically surrendered. As for Andy Sullivan's third goal, it had no meaning except that it gave him a hat trick.

After winning this game, it was finally a glimmer of hope.

Now they have left the burden to Wallingford, the second in the league, and it depends on whether they can withstand this pressure.

Wallingford did a great job, and they also won the subsequent games.

The score difference is still four points, so next Saturday, May 3, the penultimate round of the league will be the final final that determines fate. Whether Wimbledon's efforts in one season can be achieved and whether Chu Zhongtian's gift can be given depends on the results of the two teams in that game.

If Wimbledon can win that game and Wallingford accidentally loses, the points of both sides will be shortened to one point, and the final final battle will become the last round of the league.

If Wimbledon tied and Wallingford also tied, the difference between the two sides was still four points, and the last round suddenly lost meaning, because even if Wimbledon won in the last round and Wallingford lost, it would not be possible to overtake. In the same situation, Wimbledon lost and Wallingford also lost. While Wimbledon won, Wallingford won at the same time. Anyway, as long as the difference between the two sides remains unchanged, Wimbledon's fate will be like this - if the upgrade fails, he will continue to stay in the ninth level league next season.

As for Wimbledon's loss... no matter what the game is, the season ends here and they will lose the qualification to participate in the playoffs.

※※※After analyzing the situation Wimbledon will face in the penultimate round of the league, Charles Philip complained to Joseph Kenny: "I really hate this feeling. My life is in the hands of others... Actually, I think the chance of us being able to participate in the playoffs is very small..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Zhongtian carefully.

Chu Zhongtian had no expression.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian didn't hear what he was saying at all. His mind is now full of tomorrow's game. He even felt a little nervous... It's really rare. When was the last time he was nervous? I don't remember it at all.

Even if he participated in the junior group of the National Football Championship, he had never been nervous before. He seemed to be a little more mature than his peers, and perhaps related to his position - the people in charge of defense were more responsible, more calm, and less passionate... Before participating in the Ninth League in England for the first time, Emily asked him if he felt nervous. He was ridiculous about Emily's questions because he didn't think about whether he was nervous or not.
To be continued...
