Chapter 75 Hilo's Performance

After celebrating with his teammates, Zhao Gang glanced at the guaranteed goal icon in the system, which had dimmed.

The energy points returned to 0/4.

Arsenal had five shots from within thirty meters that didn't go in, and the icon lit up when the fourth one accumulated.

This meant a golden route, a guaranteed goal, would appear for shots within half the field.

The extra point wouldn't continue to accumulate.

So, it was obviously best to take a shot from half the field every time four points of energy appeared.

But that was just a theoretical idea.

It wasn't easy to actually get a chance to shoot.

Being a goal behind at home didn't make Arsenal too anxious. They continued to organize and attack at their own pace.

After all, they had a two-goal advantage from the away game. As long as they drew at home, they had a good chance of eliminating Norwich.

Zhao Gang's previous shot was amazing, but could that kind of lucky goal happen twice in one game?

"How about this, James? You concede now and just donate four weeks' salary?" Henry watched Arsenal players pass the ball around the perimeter, not needing to comment much, and once again tempted James.

Although Norwich was currently in the lead, the difference in strength between the two sides was significant, and Arsenal still had a very good chance of winning.

Although Ollie didn't understand football very well, seeing the King of Highbury so confident made her feel a little relieved.

If Arsenal lost, her sacrifice would be considerable.

"Haha... How about you concede instead? Your Majesty, you donate forty weeks' salary, and Ollie, you can blur your video a little?"

Ollie was slightly tempted by James's suggestion.

Henry flatly refused, "Ollie, trust me, no one here understands football better than I do!"

"Okay, okay!" Ollie nodded vigorously, absolutely not conceding early, she had to make James lose completely.

"This is the chance, Welbeck's wide pass, finding Sanchez!" Henry looked at the broadcast screen, raising his voice excitedly.

In their first encounter, Sanchez scored a last-minute goal to tie the score!

As Arsenal kept passing the ball around, looking for an opportunity, they finally broke through Norwich's defense. When the ball was at Welbeck's feet, Sanchez was completely open!

Although Welbeck wasn't great at passing, that was compared to top-notch midfielders.

When he saw Sanchez's position, he delivered an extremely comfortable pass to Sanchez's feet.

Sanchez barely needed to adjust, he swung his thick leg and shot!

Norwich's left-back, Ferman, with no fear on his face, threw himself into the air, using his chest to block the incoming ball.

Bang!

Ferman fell heavily to the ground, quickly got up, and prepared to continue defending. He only eased up slightly, clutching his chest, after seeing the ball fly out of the penalty area.

Phillip sprinted towards the ball, which was about to go out of bounds, in front of the penalty area.

As the ball was about to go out, he slid to the ground, hooking the ball back from the sideline with his left foot, while his whole body slid out of bounds.

Arsenal's Chambers sprinted over, controlled the ball, turned to observe his teammates' positions, and prepared to launch another attack.

"Hey!! Behind!!" Cazorla shouted loudly, watching Phillip, who had already fallen, quickly get up and poke the ball away from Chambers' feet.

Hillo and Rosicky rushed over at the same time.

A fifty-fifty ball, Hillo directly knocked Rosicky away, controlled the ball, and accelerated forward!

If it had been Sanchez, Hillo would have been knocked away.

Ferman, who was a little out of breath, moved like the wind, quickly assisting forward along the sideline.

Zhao Gang and Phillip also quickly followed, creating space and drawing away defenders to create space for Hillo's breakthrough.

When Arsenal players pounced on Hillo again, Hillo unexpectedly passed the ball to the left wing in advance, while he charged forward along the center.

"Hillo is playing really selflessly now. In the past, with this kind of ball, he would definitely try to dribble past the defender. The ball would always stay at his feet for a while until he had enough fun before passing it.

Now, he passes the ball out as soon as he sees there is no chance to break through!"

"Yes, Hillo is indeed a player with skill and a great desire to show off."

Phillip advanced with the ball and played a direct through ball, finding the overlapping full-back, Ferman.

Then, he quickly followed up.

"Hey, you have to say, Norwich's wing attack is also quite threatening!" Zhang Zhidao watched Ferman pass the ball back to Phillip, who turned the Arsenal defenders around, and couldn't help but sigh.

This kind of passing combination was rare; Arsenal usually did most of the showing off.

Now that Norwich had just scored a goal, the players' confidence had risen, so they dared to make moves.

Phillip controlled the ball with one touch, and an Arsenal defender rushed to fill the gap, cutting off his path to break through. The other two also rushed over, closely marking him, this time completely cutting off his chance to cross.

He could only choose to pass back or continue to charge forward, taking the ball to the baseline.

Phillip leaned forward, flicking the ball with his heel, making the two Arsenal defenders stumble.

Ferman, behind Phillip, took the ball and accelerated, rushing all the way to the baseline, opening up the distance from the defender who was following him.

"It's a bit difficult, but Ferman still passed the ball out, a cutback! Hillo's support!!"

Ferman passed the ball out and was immediately knocked to the ground by an Arsenal defender.

Hillo ran all the way towards the passing route.

The surrounding Arsenal players concentrated and rushed over.

Hillo mustered all his strength, staring wide-eyed, as if he was going to shoot. As he approached the ball, he suddenly continued to run forward, shaking the defenders off balance, almost causing them to fall.

Crap!

The Arsenal defenders' attention was all on the ball and Hillo. They didn't expect Hillo to let the ball go past.

They felt a chill in their hearts, there was support behind!

"Hillo's beautiful pass!!"

After letting the ball go past, Hillo continued to run forward for two steps, turning his head to look at the edge of the penalty area.

There were no defenders there, only Zhao Gang, who was running over slowly, as if strolling.

Seeing that figure, Hillo turned his head, facing the baseline, raised his head, opened his arms, lowered his center of gravity, and slid towards the sideline on his knees.

Bang!!

The rapidly spinning ball almost crossed the line at the same time as Hillo!

Goal!

0:2!

In just three minutes, Norwich scored two goals in a row!

The Norwich fans, whose excitement hadn't faded, instantly erupted again!

Zhao Gang rushed towards the sideline, and all the Norwich players piled onto Hillo, who was sliding out, raising his hands and looking up at the Norwich fans, celebrating wildly.

"Wow... Hillo, this guy... this goal was beautiful!! A cutback from Ferman, a clever pass from Hillo, and a one-shot goal from Zhao Gang at the far post. Szczęsny made the best save he could, but still couldn't stop the ball from going into the net!

Zhao Gang, two goals in three minutes!!

Helping Norwich take a 2-0 lead over Arsenal away from home!!"

The Arsenal players stood in the penalty area, somewhat dazed.

Szczęsny kicked the turf in anger.

In a matter of seconds, Norwich had charged all the way into the penalty area!

One moment they were defending desperately, and the next they were celebrating a goal!

Zhao Gang rubbed Hillo's head, "You show-off!"

The Norwich fans in the stands jumped up and down excitedly, shouting Zhao Gang's name.

"This Hillo... didn't do anything, but stole all the limelight!" Brooke stared at the replay, only showing Zhao Gang's goal once.

The scene of Hillo raising his hands and sliding, crossing the line at the same time as the ball, was replayed three times!

It seemed the director also wanted to see if he crossed the baseline first or if the ball crossed the goal line first.

"Hahaha..." Rod laughed loudly, he had never seen such a scene or such a thing before!

Ibrahimović had once relied on his excellent physical qualities to score a goal and celebrate with a slide in one go.

After Hillo let the ball go, he had already rushed to the baseline to celebrate before Zhao Gang even shot!

If this goal hadn't gone in, Hillo would have become the biggest joke!

He might have even caused Norwich to have one less player because he slid out to celebrate and Arsenal launched a counterattack!

But the result was that Zhao Gang didn't let him down.

Hillo might score hundreds more goals, but no goal scene would ever be remembered as much as his celebration today.

Facing Arsenal, he made a brilliant pass, attracting attention and drawing away defenders.

Then, before even scoring, he began an earth-shattering sliding celebration!

This player, who liked to go it alone, didn't choose to shoot himself when faced with this shooting opportunity. Instead, he trusted his teammates unconditionally, believing that the ball would definitely be kicked in, just like believing in God!

"Hehe, you have to say, only Hillo could do something like this in all of Norwich." Zhang Zhidao watched the replay, laughing.

"That's right, he likes to show off the most. Who else could do this, who would dare to do this? This is not only a great boost to Norwich's morale, but also a very, very big blow to Arsenal!

This may be even bigger than being 0:2 behind! A mental stimulus! Without saying a single word of trash talk, he made all the Arsenal players feel a huge sense of shame from the bottom of their hearts!

This is even more stimulating than dancing in front of the goalkeeper!

What does he think Arsenal's defense is? A kindergarten?

Look, look at Falk's expression. He should be very happy that he scored a goal, but he's shaking his head!"

"This scene will definitely become a classic scene that everyone will discuss after the game, and countless football fans will rush to imitate it."

"Whoa!!!" James almost jumped up. This shot was indeed very calm and composed. Hillo's pass was certainly beautiful, but it was definitely not as exciting as the goal.

However, compared to the classic scene of Hillo sliding in advance and crossing the line with the ball at the same time, it paled in comparison.

This guy knows how to perform!

"Norwich's counterattack was indeed ingenious and direct. Everyone's running position was just right. Arsenal's defenders... it's hard to say." Henry kept shaking his head, touching his bald head. This counterattack was really pleasing to the eye.

The wing's breakthrough, support, and passing.

Until the last pass, Hillo's pass, and the infinite trust in Zhao Gang behind him, completed this wonderful counterattack.

"If we concede now, can we blur the important parts of the video that's been uploaded?" Ollie watched the Norwich players waving their fists and hugging each other, her eyes rolling.

"Hahaha..." James laughed non-stop, "You wish!"
