Reverse.

Chapter 58 Your game is not over yet
The Tyne players on the field are pushing the ball forward.

The Tyne fans in the stands were cheering them on.

Although the team missed two chances in a row, Tyne fans were not disappointed with the team.

But when the ball was passed to Dean's feet, the situation changed. The cheers disappeared and were replaced by boos.

Not huge, but noticeable and clear.

It was obvious that Sonny Dean, as a Tyne player, was booed by his own fans.

Before the game started, he was the only one who was booed by the home team fans when the live DJ announced his name.

Considering the tolerance of Tyne fans, Dean's treatment can be regarded as scorpion shit - unique.

After wasting two great chances in the game, the boos were louder and more obvious than at the start of the game.

The boos clearly made people wonder if Sonny Dean was no longer a Tyne player. He seemed more like a guest - no other Scots player had been targeted by Tyne fans like he was.

During the break in the game, the broadcaster also took the time to replay Tyne's unsuccessful attack.

However, after the attack was over, the screen did not immediately switch back to the live broadcast, but instead gave a close-up shot of Tyne player Vitini.

This close-up shot is not a real-time picture, but Vitini's reaction after the attack just failed - he waved his fists and stomped his feet, appearing very angry and dissatisfied.

Even a fool could see why he was angry and dissatisfied.

Of course it was because Dean wasted his great pass.

Looking at this scene, Joe Wesley laughed: "Before the game, there were many rumors about whether Tyne had an internal conflict, some true and some false. I can't be sure whether Wang and Dean have a conflict or not, I don't have definite evidence. But I am 100% sure that the relationship between Vitini and Dean is very bad..."

If Tyne lost the game, this scene could be used after the game as evidence of Tyne's internal strife and loss.

Then, by extension, it can also be evidence that Wang Lie caused the team to split.

※※※

When Dean passed the ball, it was like a switch was turned off and the booing stopped immediately.

So it was clear that the booing was directed at Dean.

Dean's mother stood in the stands and looked at her son worriedly.

In the past, no matter how much Tyne fans hated him, they only vented their emotions on the Internet after the game.

It was the first time for her son to be booed when the starting lineup was announced before the game or when he got the ball during the game.

She worried about how her son would be affected.

She knew her son's character. He pretended to be carefree and didn't care about anything.

But in fact he is timid and cowardly.

My son performed poorly and was booed by the fans.

Being booed by the fans will make the performance even worse...

Doesn't this become a vicious cycle?

Based on her understanding of her son, she was afraid that his performance in the next game would not be much better.

As a mother, although it is not right, she really hopes that Tyne head coach Mr. McNeill will just replace her son.

This way, at least my son won't have to suffer both mentally and physically...

※※※

Varo looked at his watch and saw that the game had been going on for sixty-five minutes.

Excluding injury time, there are still 25 minutes left in the game.

He asked McNeill: "Have you considered replacing Dean?"

McNeill, still looking at the court, asked, "Who should come on?"

"Tommy Biggins."

In previous training, Tommy Biggins did receive corresponding training as Dean's replacement.

Biggins was originally the main force of the team, but the premise was that the team had to play in a 442 formation, so that Biggins would appear in the starting right forward position.

But after McNeil changed the team's tactical play, Biggins lost his position in this 433 formation and became a substitute from the starter.

However, during training, everyone took Dean's unstable condition into consideration, so many other people were added in.

For example, Tommy Biggins replaced Dean on the right, and on the left was naturally the team's original left midfielder Gabriel Barreto.

Of course, whether it is Biggins or Barreto, neither of them originally played as a forward, so their offensive attributes are slightly worse.

But their victory lies in all aspects, they can attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

Therefore, it will play a crucial role at certain times.

However, if Dean is replaced with Biggins, the team's attack on the right side will inevitably be affected...

McNeill repeatedly weighed the pros and cons of making a substitution in his mind.

After thinking it over, he finally made a decision: "Let Biggins warm up."

The substitute players have warmed up during the half-time break, but the second half has already started for twenty minutes, so it is best to warm up again before going on the field.

Varro nodded and left.

McNeill continued to keep his eyes on the field.

Although Varro suggested replacing Dean early, neither he nor McNeil himself was disappointed with Dean's performance.

Dean's performance after starting was indeed lackluster, but it wasn't that bad.

The main reason was those two mistakes, which left such a deep impression on people and created a bad viewing experience.

From a coaching perspective, Dean's performance was fine.

This is even more understandable considering that this is his first time back in the starting lineup after two months.

The reason why he was replaced was indeed because as the game progressed, Dean's performance was not very good due to physical exhaustion. But this does not mean that he had not performed well in the previous 60 minutes of the game.

Of course, replacing Dean after he made a mistake would definitely cause some public controversy after the game and would bring pressure to Dean.

But McNeill has no choice. He is responsible for the entire team and the team's overall performance. His first priority is to win and he cannot just take care of the feelings of a particular player.

He will talk to Dean alone after the game, affirm his overall performance in the game, and promise to continue to trust him.

But if Dean himself can't stand the criticism from the outside world and gives up on himself like before... then McNeill will have no choice.

He is a professional football coach, not a kindergarten teacher.

※※※

Tommy Biggins was called up from the bench by assistant coach Valo, took off his coat, put on a training vest, and ran to the warm-up area.

This scene was captured by the television broadcast camera.

"Tommy Biggins has gone to warm up! It looks like McNeill is dissatisfied with Dean's performance and wants to replace him!"

"This is the right decision! Dean's performance after starting was really average!"

Seeing Biggins running to the warm-up area, the Tyne fans in the nearest stands cheered - they also knew that Dean was going to leave!

The cheers quickly spread, and almost half of the stadium was cheering.

Dean also noticed his teammate Biggins who was warming up.

He also guessed what this meant.

He turned his gaze towards the coaching bench. Head coach McNeil was standing on the sidelines without making any movement and his facial expression could not be seen clearly.

Listening to the cheers from the stands, Dean lowered his head.

Then he heard Wang Lie's shout:

"Dean!"

He turned around and saw Wang Lie running towards him - it was dead ball time, so he had time to watch Biggins warming up.

Running to Dean, Wang Lie lowered his voice and said to him: "Listen, Dean, they are targeting me. When we switch from defense to offense, the ball can no longer pass through me, we have to play more simply and directly. So you and Vitini have to retreat deeper and move forward. This will increase the time and distance of holding the ball, and you and Vitini will have to be isolated and helpless. At this time, if you hold the ball, you will try to get past the defensive player..."

As he was speaking, he saw that Dean's expression seemed a little confused, so he simply raised his hands and slapped them on both sides of his cheeks. Then he held Dean's face and looked directly at him: "Are you listening to what I'm saying?"

Dean said hurriedly: "Ah, yes, yes..."

"What did I say?"

"You said you were being closely watched and that we needed to retreat deeper and bring the ball up. If..."

Dean was stunned when he said this, and he obviously didn't remember what Wang Lie said next.

So Wang Lie repeated it again: "If you have the ball and encounter a defensive player, try to get past them and get rid of them."

"Oh yes, that's what you said. What happens after we get past them?"

"Then?" Wang Lie patted Dean's face gently, as if he thought his question was particularly silly. "Of course, pass the ball to me."

Dean completely recovered from being slapped in the face by Wang Lie like he was a child. He looked at Wang Lie who was about to leave and said unconvincedly, "Why are you saying this to me? Can't you see that I'm about to be substituted out?!"

Wang Lie stopped, half turned around and asked him back: "You haven't finished yet, have you?"

"That won't be long! You should go find Biggins..."

Wang Lie frowned and said, "What are you yelling about? Your game isn't over yet."

After saying that, he ignored Dean and turned and ran back to his seat.

The game on the field resumed quickly.

※※※

As the focus of attention on the field, how could the scene of Wang Lie running to Dean to communicate escape the TV broadcast?
Faced with the scene where Wang Lie holds his face and talks to Dean, the commentators also have their own interpretations.

Connor Cowley said: "I don't know if the internal conflict is true, but at least Wang and Dean still communicated..."

Joe Wesley next to him snorted, "But it won't be too harmonious. Look at their expressions. They are not polite at all when they talk."

"But it's not bad enough to break down the relationship." Compared to former Scout player Wesley, who has his own stance, commentator Connor Cowley is much more neutral. He is not like Wesley, who hopes that Wang Lie's team will have internal strife, the more chaotic the better.

As a Chinese commentator, Luo Jin naturally stood on Wang Lie's side. He didn't care what he saw, he just praised Wang Lie: "Wang Lie is encouraging Dean! After two mistakes, Dean may be a little depressed. In order to cheer up his teammates, Wang Lie is encouraging him! This is what a captain and leader should do!"

I have to say, it seems like everyone is right, but also wrong...

Because not long after, Wang Lie took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and said almost the same words to Vitini.

Wesley couldn't say that Wang and his fanboy also had conflicts, right?
Luo Jin couldn't say that Vitini was not doing well and was in a bad mood, so Wang Lie had to enlighten him and encourage him...

Well...they could only choose to turn a blind eye to Wang Lie's search for Vitini and not comment on it.

Anyway, the scene of Wang Lie looking for Vitini did not last as long as the scene of him looking for Dean, so he could just pretend that he didn't notice it.

※※※

Chi Zhen looked up at the scoreboard on the stands.

The scoreboards at various Premier League stadiums are usually long LCD screens, but they are located in different locations. Some are below the commentary booths, and some are on the second-floor guardrails. The scoreboard at Leeds Park is outside the second-floor box of the stadium.

The scoreboard at Leeser Park will display the real-time scores of the home and away teams, the game time, and the current time.

Now the home team Tyne is temporarily trailing the Scots with a score of 1:2. The match time is the th minute of the game, at : pm Greenwich time.

More than 20 minutes into the second half, Tyne still hadn't equalized the score.

But Chi Zhen dare not take it lightly.

Because there is Brother Wang in Tyne's team.

As a Chinese national team player playing for Scouse, Chi Zhen knows Wang Ge's abilities better than many people.

Perhaps others would think that Brother Wang is already 38 years old and no longer poses any threat.

But Chi Zhen would never think so.

As time went by, he even felt that the current score was too dangerous.

You know, Brother Wang has a very famous nickname:

The King of Kills

The closer the game gets to the end, the more dangerous he becomes.

There is a fan online who edited a collection of his winning goals and equalizers, which only counts the goals after the 85th minute. The video is 18 minutes long, which shows the value of this nickname.

So they should score as soon as possible and expand their lead...

If they were only leading by one goal, it would be like tempting Brother Wang to score a goal quickly - if they scored one goal, it would be a tie, and if they scored two goals, it would be a lore! Chi Zhen quickly withdrew his gaze from the scoreboard. The game was still going on, and he had to focus more.

The Scouses were attacking, and even though the ball was on the other side at the moment, he had to be prepared.

After looking left and right, Chi Zhen did not choose to move towards the middle, but retreated to the sideline and further distanced himself.

In this way, when the team encounters difficulties and the offense is not going smoothly on the right side, they can just kick the ball to their side.

Because he had been pulled to the sideline, on the weak side of Tyne's defense, their right-back Barnabas was also at the flank at this moment, paying attention to the battle situation over there, and Chi Zhen was completely in his blind spot.

Sure enough, soon after, the Scouse right back McGowan made a long diagonal pass and passed the ball to Chi Zhen's side.

He stopped the ball with his chest on the sideline, and facing Barnabas who turned and rushed back, he feinted with his upper body and pretended to go to the bottom, but his right foot pushed the ball to the middle, and then used his starting speed to shake off the opponent!
Cut inside!

Barnabas, who was shaken by the pool, stopped in a hurry and tried to turn around to defend himself, but his feet slipped and he fell directly to the ground!
The Tyne fans' horrified boos rang out again over Leeds Park.

"Chi Zhen cuts inside and breaks through!"

Luo Jin shouted excitedly.

After cutting inside, Chi Zhen faced the approaching Tyne midfielder Gianfranco Ramosa. Instead of confronting him head-on, he passed the ball diagonally to striker Del Mora in the middle of the penalty area, and then continued to run sideways.

The latter fully understood Chi Zhen's intention, leaned on Katic behind him, and pushed the ball diagonally to the front of Chi Zhen who was running sideways!
"Delmora!"

"Two-on-one pass against the wall!"

"nice shot!"

Chi Zhen faced the rolling football, swung his right leg while running, and kicked the ball!
When Chi Zhen shot, Tyne center back Hugo Guendouzi rushed forward to block the shot, but it was too late.

The football passed him, made an arc, and went straight to the back corner of the goal!

"Goetz—!"

Tyne goalkeeper Elliot Goetz leaped forward, stretched out his arms, and used his fingertips to push the football out of the bottom line!

"call!!!"

A huge exhalation sound was heard at Lize Park.

"Nice save! Goetz saved Chi's high-quality shot!"

"Chi is in really good shape today! I wonder if it's because the head coach of the Chinese national team is watching the game..."

“Chi Zhen——! Oh my! Good shot! Good shot! Even though it didn’t go in, this attack was very beautiful!”

"Chi Zhen is like a sharp knife on the left side of the Scouse people! Barnabas has a hard time facing him!"

Everyone was praising Chi Zhen's performance, but Chi Zhen himself was very dissatisfied with not scoring a goal.

In order to make the ball as arc as possible, he threw almost all of his weight out when shooting. After completing the shot, he fell to the ground.

As soon as he got up, he saw Goetz push the football out of the baseline, and he punched the grass hard again.

Fuck!
Chi Zhen cursed fiercely in his heart.

"Good shot, good shot! Chi! Good shot!"

Delmora applauded Chi Zhen and gave him a thumbs up to encourage him.

There was even louder applause at Leeds Park, but it was not for Chi Zhen, but for Tyne's goalkeeper Goetz.

After Goetz got up from the ground, he clapped his hands and yelled, "Get ready to defend the corner kick!!"

As he roared, two tall center backs of the Scots, Mason Harper and Joey Libert, were slowly running towards them from the backcourt.

Tyne's players also quickly returned and took up defensive positions.

As a center forward, Wang Lie returned to the penalty area to help defend because he had the advantage in heading.

The Scots took a corner kick, and the ball flew high over the front point where Wang Lie was and headed towards the back point.

Therefore, Wang Lie did not jump, but quickly ran out of the penalty area. At this time, no matter how the Scouse team's corner kick attack went, he would have nothing to do with it. It would be better to move in advance, maybe he could seize the opportunity to counterattack.

This is the experience of an old player.

Sure enough, the Scots' corner kick was kicked to the back post and was punched out by the attacking goalkeeper Goetz. The Tyne players quickly pressed forward and tried to counterattack.

However, the ball fell into the feet of Scouse midfielder Radu.

Tyne's counterattack was interrupted and the players returned to defense.

But Wang Lie didn't do that.

He stayed in front and didn't intend to waste his energy.

Radu passed the ball to Chi Zhen who was on the side.

Chi Zhen wanted to seize the opportunity when Tyne's offense and defense changed and his formation was not in order, so he kicked the ball directly after receiving it!
At this moment, the two central defenders of the Scouse team, Harper and Libert, have not returned yet, so they can be used as center forwards.

Hassan Harper jumps after seeing the landing spot!

Then the ball was headed out by Tyne's central defender Katic!
"Katic heads the ball away!"

The ball was headed out of the penalty area by Katic.

Seeing this, Van Ginkel, who had just returned to the penalty area, turned around and ran back to chase the ball.

However, he had just started when he saw Wang Lie, who stayed in front, sprinting back towards the football.

So he immediately changed his mind and instead of chasing the ball, he accelerated and rushed forward!

When Wang Lie arrived at the location of the football, Van Ginkel happened to run past him from behind.

Wang Lie used his heel to kick the ball directly into the space in front of Van Ginkel!
The Dutch midfielder only adjusted his pace to catch up with Wang Lie's pass. He used the arch of his right foot to push the ball forward and speed up!
After completing the heel pass, Wang Lie made a half circle, turned, and sprinted forward.

At this moment, because the Scouse team had just taken a corner kick, most of the players had not had time to return to defense.

This is a great opportunity for Tyne to fight back!

Now Van Ginkel is dribbling the ball in the middle, while Wang Lie runs to the left and takes Vitini's position, but because he went around in a circle, he is now behind Van Ginkel.

On the right is Sonny Dean running in the front!
In Van Ginkel's field of vision at this moment, when he raised his head he could only see Dean who had just run across the center line.

At the same time, he knew that his speed was not fast enough and was afraid that this would cause the team to fail to counterattack... So Van Ginkel decisively passed the ball diagonally to Dean.

Although there is a Scouse left-back Atala in front of him.

In fact, Van Ginkel passed the ball a little too early. He should have waited for Dean to get up to speed before passing the ball. And he should have passed the ball to the huge space behind Atala.

But Van Ginkel was probably worried that he would be entangled by Boissier who was chasing him closely, and he also did not see Wang Lie who was advancing at high speed behind him.

So the ball was passed like this.

Dean had just started to speed up, but when he saw Van Ginkel pass the ball to him, he had to slow down again and adjust his rhythm and pace.

After receiving the pass, he faced Atala who was ready for battle.

He turned his head to look at the middle. After completing the pass, Van Ginkel was still running forward, but his speed had slowed down a lot - the sprint from his own penalty area line to the middle line had quickly drained his stamina bar, so he had to slow down.

Looking further away, he saw the figure running wildly with his head down, still a little behind...

Pass the ball to him?
Dean was unsure. At such a long distance, he couldn't guarantee that he could accurately deliver the ball to the opponent's feet.

More importantly, Wang was further back than himself. By the time the ball had crossed half the field and flew over there, he would not have the speed to counterattack...

At this moment, Dean thought of what Wang Lie had just said to him:
If you are isolated and helpless, try to dribble past the opposing player!
So while dribbling the ball, he moved his body slightly towards the middle, pretending to cut inside.

This attracted Attala to come up and block the attack, shortening the distance between them.

Then he kicked the ball out and cut inside!
Atala stepped forward.

At this time, Dean stretched his left foot forward as far as he could and dribbled the ball!
He dunked the football back to the right side of his body!

In order to achieve a sufficiently deceptive effect, he first dribbled the football out, then dribbled the ball, almost doing the splits himself!
When he finally turned around to get rid of Atala, he could only use his hands and feet to help complete the emergency stop and turn!
After shaking off Atala, he chased after the football again!

※※※

Sonny Dean's mother was in the stands. When she saw her son pass Atala, she did not scream or cheer excitedly. Instead, she covered her mouth with her hands and stared at the field with wide eyes.

She didn't dare to be happy yet, for fear that her son would have another big poop next time...

She was both nervous and excited.

There is someone yelling at me, and I don’t know if he is scolding me or praising me.

She didn't care about these.

She watched her son catch up with the football and lead it forward.

Scouse left-back McGowan, who had been staying in the middle, immediately ran to the left to block.

There's space in the middle!

But Van Ginkel's speed was really slow, and he could only watch the huge gap but couldn't take advantage of it...

And although he successfully passed Atala, the Scouse man's No. 7 also caught up and was quickly approaching her son!
Damn! How come this Chinese guy is so fast?!

※※※

Dean didn't know that Chi Zhen was approaching him. He slightly adjusted the direction of his dribbling and rushed towards the penalty area diagonally.

It looks like he is going to go into the dragon's den alone again, here he is...

Arata had already seen Chi Zhen returning to defense, so he did not choose to rush forward rashly, but instead fought and retreated, preparing to wait for Chi Zhen to arrive before making a double-team attempt.

But just as he was stepping back, Dean suddenly passed the ball!

He picked up the football with his right foot and sent a cross!
The football drew an arc in the air and headed straight for the back of the penalty area!

There was Wang Lie, and Simon Lofven, the Scottish right winger who desperately chased back to the edge of the penalty area...

Looking at the football in the air, Lofven could do nothing - he was a little far away and couldn't reach the ball even if he jumped.

He could only turn his neck along with the football and look behind him.

He saw... Wang Lie flying in the air!
The cheers at Leather Park were deafening!
※※※

Wang Lie rushed forward and turned his head to look at Dean.

Seeing Dean pass the ball, he immediately accelerated forward, leaving Loven half a body length behind, and jumped up at the same time!

Because he jumped while running at high speed, his body was in a forward posture, so he adjusted his posture in the air, tucked his chin in, and then brought his thighs close to his chest.

He curled up his body slightly in the air, like a clenched fist.

When the football flies towards him, he suddenly opens his body - pushes his feet backward and pushes his body forward!
In Luo Fen's eyes, Wang Lie, with his body stretched out, looked like he was flying in the air!
He saw Wang Lie heading the football like a flying bird on the ground!
※※※

When Dean made the cross, Scouse goalkeeper Lucero left the goal and rushed towards the landing point of the football. He wanted to shorten the distance between himself and Wang Lie as much as possible so that he could block more angles.

As Wang Lie headed the ball, he jumped up with his arms open, and his whole body looked like the Chinese character "大"!

He has tried his best to expand his defensive area, but he still couldn't stop the football!

The football hit by Wang Lie was like a cannonball, hitting the goal with a heavy artillery fire. There was no way he could touch the ball!

This is a must goal!

The football hit the net behind him!

"Wang--!!! Wang!! Wang!! A wonderful counterattack! A wonderful header! It was as if he was flying in the air! Lofen could only look up from the ground and watch the ball go into the net! And Lucero, the goalkeeper who is good at making all kinds of magical saves, failed to save the goal this time! Wang!! He helped Tain equalize the score! 2:2!"

Connor Cowley was so excited that he raised his arms and cheered.

Joe Wesley beside him raised his hand to cover his mouth and stared blankly at the court.

Around him, many commentators stood up excitedly, unable to hide their excitement, and shouted loudly into their microphones.

“Wang—!! Ahhhhh! Wang! He scored twice again!!”

"WAAAAAAAAAANG - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! GOL! GOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOL!!!!"

PS, two updates today!
Asking for a monthly ticket!
I would also like to thank the leader of the alliance “I have divine power and am invincible” for the reward!

In addition, it has been 22 days since the book was put on the shelves, and I just remembered that I don’t think I have set up a fan group yet - since I started writing, I have been busy writing, and occasionally I have time to draw illustrations and line drawings, and I have no time to deal with other things.

It wasn’t until the leader “I have divine power and am invincible” asked where the group was… that I realized there was no group.

So I asked Gargamel to set up a VIP reader group.

Because it is a VIP reader group, there is a fan value limit. You can join the group if you reach a fan value of 1000.

The group number is on the novel introduction page of the Qidian Reading APP. You can see it after unlocking the fan value.
