Chi Meiya
Chapter 17 Super God Goalkeeper
When had they ever seen this kind of scene?
Why the sudden cheering?
Anyone who didn't know better would think Norwich was winning!
Farke listened to the fans screaming and cheering, nodding his head.
Good, they've already forgotten the fact that they're about to lose and be eliminated.
He nodded to a few of the players, and they tacitly understood, going onto the field to warm up and prepare for the Championship game in two days!
Next week in the Europa League, I'll still let a few of you substitutes go through the motions. The fans will be happy, and you can treat it as training and exercise. Just don't push yourselves too hard, and everyone will be happy!
Perfect!
But Zhao Gang didn't agree!
He could understand Farke's idea of giving up on the Europa League.
But he had finally accumulated four consecutive wins, and losing this game would reset the system's reward points to zero!
Friendlies don't count, but the Europa League does!
Either don't let me play, or if I play, I have to fight for the win!
Several key players entered the field, and the control of the midfield was significantly improved.
Wright certainly understood Farke's meaning, so after entering the field, he hardly made any decent forward passes.
"Brugge's defensive level is not even in the same league as Watford! Wright and Philip, the two midfielders, have excellent breakthrough abilities, but they just don't push forward. This is an order from that waste Farke!
Wright, you're only twenty-seven years old, and you're already playing along with Farke? If it's not playing along, it's match-fixing!"
Listening to the fans shouting his name loudly, Wright, who had originally planned to slack off, suddenly felt a surge of passion in his heart.
He couldn't let the fans down!
Anyway, the final shot wasn't up to him. He wouldn't shoot, just pass!
In the fans' shouts, Wright, lost in his own world, dribbled the ball wildly along the left wing, past three defenders in a row.
"Beautiful, Wright! Ospina has already run into position, pass the ball... f**k!"
A savage foul by a Brugge player directly tripped Wright, who was breaking through along the sideline.
Farke's eyelids twitched. I let you warm up, what were you doing?
Going all out?
The crowd erupted in loud boos. Wright was rolling around, clutching his leg in pain, but in reality, nothing was wrong.
The defensive intensity in the Championship was much fiercer than that of a team like Brugge.
*Beep!*
A yellow card and a free kick.
Just as Wright was preparing to take the free kick, Farke stood on the sidelines and shouted, "Zhao!"
Wright understood and gave up the free kick.
Zhao Gang's free kick pass was brilliant against Fulham, but afterwards, Zhao Gang's free kick technique in training was still terrible. In the following games, Zhao Gang didn't continue to take free kicks.
All the players knew that Zhao Gang was an invincible finisher in the Championship!
But as a free kick taker, he was the worst on the team.
That kick against Fulham must have used up all his luck.
Now that Farke wanted Zhao Gang to take the free kick, his intention was obvious: the fans liked to watch, and he didn't want to win, so it was a win-win!
Zhao Gang glanced at the big screen. The time was already 85 minutes.
Whether or not we can win this game depends on you!
He directly activated the set-piece rating experience card.
The set-piece rating instantly reached 95 points.
This set-piece was near the left sideline, thirty-five meters from the goal, making a direct shot difficult.
Zhao Gang looked up at the goal, and instantly seven offensive routes appeared in his eyes. Three were direct shots, with a low probability, and four were passes to teammates, with a good probability.
"Zhao Gang had a set-piece assist in the game against Fulham. Now, at this crucial moment, as the first set-piece taker, Wright has taken the initiative to give up his position. It can be seen that at the crucial moment, the teammates and coach trust Zhao Gang very much!" Shen Jian naturally knew that Farke had given up on this game and didn't care about this set-piece scoring opportunity at all.
Otherwise, Wright would definitely be taking it!
But he couldn't say that, he had to support Zhao Gang.
"666, making a big deal out of a free kick!"
"Hehe, the game's almost over, and the water dispenser guardian is coming on!"
Zhao Gang took a deep breath and looked at the extremely serious Ospina.
There was an offensive route directly above his left, with an 80% chance of scoring.
Ospina, you can't let me down!
Zhao Gang took a few steps back to create space for a run-up.
"Zhao is taking this free kick. According to the inside information I have, Zhao's free kick is his weakness. Since that free kick against Fulham, he hasn't taken another one.
This time, he's standing in front of the ball again. It looks like Farke strongly requested him to take it. I feel like Farke doesn't want to score." Brooke rarely made a serious analysis, and he was right.
The fans all looked at Zhao Gang, stood up, and prayed. Time was running out.
The miracle boy must perform another miracle!
Wang Dongyue looked around in horror. At this moment, all the fans were silent, no one was talking, and everyone was looking at the field.
"Zhao, run-up! Kick!
The ball is lofted into the penalty area, the landing point is very... Ospina!
goallll!!" Rodd, who had been almost silent for the entire game, finally exploded in the 86th minute.
1:2!
Norwich pulled one back!
Ospina spread his arms and roared, running wildly towards Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang was looking for him!
He specifically found him at that spot!
Ospina was outwardly friendly to Zhao Gang, but he was very unconvinced in his heart.
Zhao Gang coordinated with the midfielders, but never with him, his forward partner!
The only free kick was even aimed at Wright, the midfielder. In his eyes, Zhao Gang was just trying to please Wright, who could pass the ball. Zhao Gang had never looked up to him!
Now Ospina knew that it was just because he didn't have good opportunities, not because Zhao Gang looked down on him and didn't pass to him!
When he had a good opportunity, Zhao Gang would pass the ball to him!
"Zhao!! Zhao!!" Ospina, as if he wanted to eat someone, opened his mouth wide and lifted Zhao Gang directly with his tall body.
Zhao Gang waved his fists, almost melted by Ospina's enthusiasm.
"The ball is in! Zhao Gang connects with center forward Ospina, sending out his first assist in the European arena, and also the first assist by a Dragon Country player in an official European competition! This ball is very beautiful! It has created history!" Shen Jian clenched his fist, not expecting Zhao Gang's first touch to have such an effect.
"Ospina is very excited after scoring a goal, and immediately went to find Zhao Gang, who provided the assist. This also shows that Zhao Gang's position in the team is very high!" Another commentator kept looking for words to praise Zhao Gang.
"Yes, he can still tell who the big boss is, haha..."
"Look at this pass, it appears right in front of Ospina, and there is a distance from the goalkeeper. It's not possible for the goalkeeper to attack, and it's not possible for him not to attack. He can only watch Ospina head the ball in. This ball is too wonderful, any more or less wouldn't have worked!
Although Ospina scored, the main credit definitely goes to Zhao Gang!"
"That's right, to be honest, any center forward could easily head the ball in, but few people can pass such a ball!
This kick is really not worse than Beckham's!"
The two commentators sang in harmony, establishing Zhao Gang's image.
Little did they know that Zhao Gang, far away in Norwich, didn't need this kind of praise!
Farke kept waving his fists, very good, very good.
Scoring one goal could both comfort the fans and ensure that there was no hope of advancing.
Ospina's goal ignited Carrow Road, and the fans' shouts and cheers made the players' adrenaline soar.
Although there was less than a minute left in regular time, Norwich's offense was one wave after another. Then, Zhao Gang received a header from Ospina at the far post and volleyed a shot, which was tipped out of the baseline by the goalkeeper's instinctive fingertip save.
"hu..." A violent sigh of regret erupted from Carrow Road.
"Oh, it was so close! Just a little bit, and the first goal of a Dragon Country player in the European arena would have come!" Shen Jian was full of regret, even a little annoyed.
This goalkeeper is too ignorant!
In the live broadcast room, those sarcastic comments had long been completely drowned out by the 666 and cheers that filled the screen!
The barrage in the entire live broadcast room had already caused some low-configuration phones to freeze.
Unaffected, Zhao Gang quickly came to the corner area and received the soccer ball handed over by the clever ball boy.
Several passing routes appeared in front of him again, and there were two circles in the goal area, with numbers inside indicating the probability of scoring a direct shot.
The probability of scoring was 20%, which was already very high, but compared to the number above Ospina, the towering center forward, it was still much lower.
With a whistle from the referee, Zhao Gang quickly rushed towards the soccer ball.
The soccer ball perfectly drew along the route that appeared in front of him, towards the top of Ospina's head.
"He's still looking for Ospina's spot! And it's very precise! Ospina! Ospina!!! f**k!" Brooke hugged his head and kept banging his head on the table.
The goalkeeper is a god!
Two saves of certain goals!
Ospina jumped high and headed a bouncing ball with great speed. The theoretical certain goal was actually kicked out by the goalkeeper with his feeling, stretching his body!
Ospina knelt on the ground, painful and regretful. Just a little bit, just a little bit, and he could have become a hero of Carrow Road!
Although the goalkeeper made the contribution, it was indeed him who wasted this excellent opportunity!
A violent sigh of regret erupted from Carrow Road again.
Wang Dongyue's emotions fluctuated with all the fans. He stared intently, nervously watching the field. He felt his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.
It had been many years since he had experienced this kind of tension.
Only his own team's games could make him feel so empathetic.
And the Dragon Country's national team, at this point in time, regardless of whether they were winning or losing, would have long been passing the ball back in the backfield, waiting for the game to end!
Look at these Norwich players, look at Zhao Gang, even in injury time, they are still constantly threatening the opponent's goal!
Scoring a goal only takes a second. The game isn't over yet, anything can happen.
Why don't those guys who eat sea cucumbers and hook up with famous models understand!
