Chapter 132 The Return of the King(1/2)

Veronica's cheers never stopped after Zhang Jun picked the ball with his back and broke into the penalty area. When he saw him finally hit the goal in NECNijmegen, the cheers suddenly increased a hundred times and turned into an inspiring storm, which swept across the Veronica Stadium and the entire town of Warrendam.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!张——俊——!!!”

After scoring the goal, Zhang Jun seemed very excited. He broke away from his teammates and rushed to the stands and shouted: "I'mback!I'mback!!I'mback!!!"

No wonder he was so excited. It was almost eight months since he endured difficult treatment and recovery training, but after his comeback, he was ridiculed as a "borrow man".

Don’t you always say that I can’t score the goal, I can’t do it? OK, I’ll just score one today to shut up!

After shouting, Zhang Jun turned around and put his finger in front of his mouth towards the camera on the sidelines: "Shut up!"

This action will of course cause dissatisfaction among the visiting fans, but in front of the crazy home team fans, their dissatisfaction can only be suppressed in their hearts.

Amid the cheers, Zhang Jun slowly walked back to the central circle, and the whole Nijmegen team was waiting for him to return alone, so they could kick off.

To be honest, although he was very excited after scoring the goal, he did not think of scoring a goal when he broke through. He was just angry that the visiting team fans booed him and thought of giving them some color. But there was no one in front, so he naturally would not be polite.

No matter what, scoring goals is a good thing. The forward is a strange position. Not scoring for a long time will not only be criticized by the outside world, but will also make himself anxious and unconfident. Therefore, for the forward, especially the striker, not scoring continuously is a disaster. But once a goal is scored, confidence and praise will return to himself in an instant, and it will only take a night to go from a bear to a hero.

Zhang Jun is in this situation now. After scoring a beautiful ball, he became full of confidence and believed that there was nothing on the court that could stop him.

Even if it is a foul, it cannot be done.

※※※

"Dou!" The referee rushed up, he took out a yellow card from his chest pocket, and lit a yellow card in front of Nijmegen defender Patrick Pothuizen, who was defending Zhang Jun, with a yellow card warning!

Just now, Zhang Jun forced a breakthrough after a fake move when facing him. The 32-year-old Bo Shucen turned too slowly, so he had to reach out and pull over Zhang Jun who had already broken through.

After Zhang Jun equalized the score in the 14th minute of the first half, he became more and more active. Breakthrough, dribbling, crossing from the wing and shooting made Nijmegen's defense frequently tight. Boshucen was given the important task of specializing in guarding Zhang Jun, but often he turned slowly and was unable to do anything to face Zhang Jun's fast breakthrough, and he had to use foul tactics to prevent the Chinese from breaking through.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Warren Dam received a direct free kick twenty-five meters away from the goal.

Amid the shouts of the fans of the court, "Zhang Jun! Zhang Jun!!", Zhang Jun picked up the football and walked to the referee's designated free kick. There was no doubt that he was going to kick this direct free kick.

Nijmegen players all know how powerful Zhang Jun’s free kick is. His free kick rate last season was an average of one per eight shots, which is already very scary. Although he has returned from injury now, he may have to find a little bit of a feeling. He had seven free kicks in the first four games without scoring, but who can guarantee that this eighth kick will not be scored?

There are seven people in the human wall, which blocked the area in front of Zhang Jun. They knew that Zhang Jun would shoot directly, so they would not waste people to take care of other Warren Dam players.

Wang Hua stared at Zhang Jun in the stands, keeping every move in mind, and trying to analyze Zhang Jun's psychology: he put down the football and put it carefully. He stood up and retreated backward to the distance of the run. He stopped, and it seemed that the distance was enough. He raised his hand and fiddled with his hair. This action... Uh, is this action meaningful?

It has no meaning, it is just that Wang Hua himself studied Zhang Jun and became obsessed with it.

※※※

The hair has grown longer after these few months. When Sophie was away, he was too lazy to tie his haircuts. He just used a brown hairband on his forehead to hang his hairline, and as soon as he moved, he flew everywhere. Zhang Jun pushed the strands of hair that were blocking his eyes behind his ears, and then squinted his eyes and looked at the wall.

The man's wall is very wide, and he seems to be afraid that he will go around from both sides.

Zhang Jun smiled, he knew what to do.

The referee raised his whistle to Zhang Jun and signaled that he could only shoot when he heard his whistle. Zhang Jun nodded and said he knew.

"beep!"

Zhang Jun assisted the run, his pace was very light. He raised his left foot, straightened his instep, pointed his toes, and then hit the middle and lower part of the football with force!

This is the ball pulling the ball outside the instep, and the football draws an arc and swirls quickly towards the far corner of the goal - where the goalkeeper is standing -! The wall of up to seven people is useless in front of Zhang Jun's free kick in the far corner.

Generally speaking, the human walls are blocking the near corners, and the goalkeeper is responsible for the far corners, so there is a lot of room for the far corners to pass through, but few people play in the far corners because there is a goalkeeper there, which will confiscate the football directly.

But Zhang Jun hit the far corner because he expected that the goal would think he was going to shoot in the near corner, so he would definitely rush to the near corner the moment he shot.

Sure enough, the goalkeeper had just rushed towards the near corner when he saw something was wrong, and the football actually headed straight to the far corner where he was originally! How could it be too late when he wanted to turn back and save?

Ejaculate with the external instep to speed up the speed. So what if your brain reacts? Can your body react?

It is useless to save again, so I can only pray that God will let the ball miss or hit it away.

Unfortunately, God is Zhang Jun today.

The football cut through the air and drilled into the upper corner of the goal like lightning. The only thing the goalkeeper could do was watch the ball enter the net!

The second ball!

"Zhang Jun's smile!"

Veronica was once again excited, but if Zhang Jun didn't make it, he would have made it. Once he made two, this was probably something that no one expected before the game!

This time, Zhang Jun did not run around excitedly. He just stood there, raised his arms and a bright smile on his face.

Wang Hua remembered Li Yan's words: Just write about Zhang Jun's smile. What else in this world is brighter than the smile of this boy?

※※※

Zhang Jun's beautiful direct free kick helped Warren Dam to end the first half with a 2-1 lead. Veronica was filled with joy, and the loud singing of fans echoed over the court.

In Warren Dam's locker room, just like outside, familiar teammates came up to hug Zhang Jun and celebrate his "resurrection". Although the teammates were not as anxious as Zhang Jun for a while, the teammates who were once very familiar were still happy for him. Of course, the competitors had to be excluded from these teammates.

At this moment, Beuklin sat in the back row with some depression, looking at Zhang Jun's happy look, and was a little unwilling to accept it. Zhang Jun's two balls were actually very beautiful, but in the eyes of Beuklin, who kept looking at Zhang Jun's nose was not a nose, and eyes were not an eye, it was purely luck.

It is luck to pick the ball with your back, and it is also luck to wear the ball with your small door. It is even more luck to shoot the outside instep. In this way, Zhang Jun's luck is too strong.

Adriansé smiled and signaled everyone to be quiet. He was going to arrange the tactics for the second half. Although he was not so excited about Zhang Jun's outbreak, he was really happy inside. Not only was Zhang Jun's pressure gone, but he also lost the pressure on him as the head coach. Someone testified that when Zhang Jun scored the second goal, the assistant coach Stell clearly heard Adriansé cursing: "That fat man Horns can go to see God the fuck!"

Even if Zhang Jun was sitting in his seat, someone would still pat his shoulder and head to congratulate him. The atmosphere in the locker room finally became active again. Before Zhang Jun returned to the team, he didn't know how much the continuous defeat would hit Warren Dam. The atmosphere in the locker room was always very tense, as if it was full of fire. As long as the fire was a little bit, it would explode with a "bang!"

If Adrians had not requested that everyone be unified externally, and internal comfort should be the main force and punishment should be the auxiliary force. This extraordinary period would have been a split long ago.

"OK, everyone is quiet!" Adriansey pressed down with both hands, "Everyone has seen Zhang Jun's performance in the first half, so we will still let him be the core of the offensive in the second half."

"no problem!"

"Coach, you needless to say we know what to do! Haha!"

The players below started to yell again, and they were talking well. In the past, when Zhang Jun was there, the team's offensive tactics were arranged with Zhang Jun as the core, so these people knew how to play on the court. After all, most of them played together for two years, so there was still a tacit understanding.

Seeing everyone shouting like this, Beuklin felt even more uncomfortable. The old man always had an advantage, and he thought unhappily.

But no one has paid attention to him now.

※※※

The fifteen minutes of the halftime break passed happily, and the Warren Dam player returned to the stadium with the good mood of "Zhang Jun's resurrection". Veronica, who had been silent for fifteen minutes, became lively again. The fans were happy to see that Zhang Jun is still in the lineup, and he will bring us more exciting moments in the second half!

During the intermission, Wang Hua had called the domestic bureau and asked them to reserve a page. Tomorrow will be a cruel and fierce news war, because everyone knows that Zhang Jun is back with his smile!

※※※

"Zhang Jun! Zhang Jun!! Zhang Jun!!" From the beginning of the second half, as soon as Zhang Jun got the ball, Veronica would hear such a shout. Such a scene is nostalgic. When did it happen last time?

Zhang Jun is Veronica's number one star. If you don't come here, you won't know what position he has in the hearts of the fans. This is the treatment he deserves, not doubts and boos.

After halftime in the second half, Warren Dam became more and more courageous in the cheers of the home team fans. Nijmegen was obviously hit by Zhang Jun's sudden "resurrection". They seemed to be inadequate about this - who told them to believe media reports and comments?

One person can't defend him anymore, and he must go with another one, but if two people have to do it, can the team withstand the attacking Warren Dam?

Now the team can only rely on defensive counterattacks to occasionally harass Warrendham's defense line.

Nijmegen's coach was a little discouraged, and Zhang Jun's sudden outbreak was beyond his expectations, which was purely an accident. If we were judging from Zhang Jun's performance in the previous few games, the lead they took in the 13th minute of the first half could not only save, but also expand.

But now... who can guess what will happen in the next minute on the football field?

Nijmegen was very embarrassed and tired of dealing with his half. No matter how hard they tried, football could not beat the half.

Zhang Jun pretended to shoot, but gave the ball to Hena. The latter still struggled to shoot with a blocked front, but unfortunately he was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Then the goalkeeper threw the ball and launched an attack, Nijmegen counterattacked. This time they passed the midfield and hit the penalty area in one go.

This counterattack was too fast. Uh, the triple pass was passed to the penalty area. Warrendham's team had no time to return to defense. Nijmegen had a great opportunity!

Unfortunately, No. 15 striker Frank Demouge may not have thought that he would get the opportunity so easily. He hurriedly started to teach, but shot weakly!

"Damn Frank, hell!" head coach Nijmegen cursed, "Maintaining troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while, you will let me lose my legs at critical moments? What did you do last night?"

But just after he was upset that he wasted an opportunity, Warren Dam generously gave a big gift. Patrick Leeflang, who was also hastily returned to defense, actually hit the football with his hand after his feet did not stop the shot. The football changed its line and flew to the right side of the penalty area!

The lineman raised the flag, the referee blew the whistle, and the penalty kick! It turned out to be a penalty kick! Warren Dam would make a mistake by himself under a good situation and gave the other party a big gift!

The ball came suddenly, and Veronica did not react at all. She did not make a fake fall or malicious invasion. The two sides acted together in a "farce" that made people laugh and cry without any physical contact.

Nijmegen's head coach suddenly felt energetic. As expected, no one knew what would happen in the next minute of the football field. He knew that there would be hope for the goal after the team was in. It was only the 57th minute now, and there was still a lot of time left.

Demuge, who created the penalty kick, took the penalty himself. The opponent could not score the ball, but the opponent was so enthusiastic, so why are you polite? So this time, he didn't have any more legs, and he got it overnight, and the ball came into the net!

2:2! Nijmegen lucky enough to tie the score in the 57th minute!

While Nijmegen fans were applauding this goal, Warren Dam fans began to call out Zhang Jun's name in unison. They firmly believed that as long as there was such a Zhang Jun here, the result would never disappoint them.

On the other side, Beuklin off the field looked at Zhang Jun with some gloating pleasure: I think what you are going to do now? Hahaha!

※※※

Zhang Jun was also helpless. The two beautiful goals he scored in front were ruined by a stupid mistake in the defense. It seems that this game is really hard to play! He is not deaf, and he can hear the fans' calls and feel their desires, but the second score has already made him very happy. The hat trick is really...

It’s not that Zhang Jun is not enterprising, but for him who is a little worried about regaining his form, what else can he dare to ask for? He is already very grateful to God for being able to score two goals.

Warren Dam, who lost the ball, sieges Nijmegen again. Naturally, they would not be willing to be tied by their opponents when Zhang Jun is in such a good condition. They want to win and end the twelve rounds of defeat. Zhang Jun became a record-breaking arrowhead, and the ball was passed to him more.

When the ball was passed to Zhang Jun's feet, he would not pass the ball casually like a style. Since Adrians let him be the main attacker, he would not disappoint the head coach.

But with the same defense, Nijmegen's mentality is completely different from that before the goal. They are now full of confidence. As long as they withstand Warrendam's bombardment during this period, they will inevitably find flaws. Then they will launch a quick counterattack again. With Warrendam's poor defense, they will definitely overtake the score and get three-pointers as they wish.

Sure enough, after nearly five minutes of continuous bombing of Nijmegen, Warrendam finally exhausted and temporarily handed over the initiative of the court, which increased one by one, and Nijmegen changed his defensive position and began to try to attack. Warrendam was not good at defending, and blindly defending was just a deathbed and died faster. Adriansey knew this well, so he stood on the sidelines and kept whistling and reminded the players: "Occurrence! Offense!!"
