Chapter 36 The last three minutes(2/2)

"Hold this ball for me!" Amunia shouted loudly in front of the goal, he was a little nervous. As the game approached, his heartbeat became faster and faster. If the ball was lost... it would be over. This thought could not be dispelled in his mind.

Bentner squeezed into the crowd, lowered his head and gasped. He was so tired that he could lean on the Arsenal defenders.

Ashley Young came to play this corner kick. He placed the football very carefully, and even the direction of the Nike logo should not be wrong - you must be directly opposite the goal.

There were crowds in the penalty area. Pulling and pulling. Just as the corner kick was about to be taken out, someone fell to the ground. The referee blew a whistle to suspend the game, and a huge boo broke out in the stands - it was Manchester City players who fell to the ground, and Arsenal fans thought they wanted to cheat the penalty.

The referee did not give Manchester City corner kicks, nor did he order Manchester City players to fake falls. He just called out the players on both sides and verbally told them to calm them down. Try to avoid excessive physical contact.

The atmosphere of the game suddenly became tense in the last two minutes.

Wenger simply stood up from her seat, walked to the sidelines, pursed her lips tightly, and gritted her teeth to pay attention to the field.

After the referee confirmed that all the people in the penalty area were honest, he retreated and signaled that Ashley and Yang could play football.

Ashley Yang did not show off his hand and helped him run a few more steps. The referee there had just made a "allow-telephone kick-off" gesture. He kicked the ball into the penalty area with one kick. The speed was so fast that the Arsenal players did not react.

At this moment, a man jumped high in the penalty area. When everyone else was still standing on the ground because he was dazed, he had already flown into the air.

Stand up. Exercise force, shake your head, and attack the goal!

The football flew into the goal, and Amunia just waved his hand. It seemed to be saying goodbye.

Goodbye, league champion...

Emirates Stadium suddenly became quiet.

Only the commentator was roaring desperately: "Arsenal's dream of championship was shattered by Bentner! He scored twice and headed the ball cleanly! 2:2! Arsenal is one point behind the Forest team, which has ended the game! This is really dramatic! Even the best screenwriter in Hollywood cannot write such a league ending! This is football! This is football that so many people are crazy about!"

After scoring the goal, Bentner ran to Ashley Young who passed the ball for him. The two of them hugged each other and rolled on the ground, and their teammates rushed up to press them under them. This was a game without any suspense, but because of one person, the suspense was left to the end...

Donn stood on the sidelines, and Chris Lack stood beside him. It has only been less than three minutes since the game ended, but they all felt that three years had passed, and the city court was as quiet as if everyone had been exposed.

Everyone is waiting for the latest news, and everyone is looking forward to a miracle.

Suddenly a voice came out from the live broadcast of the stadium.

That was the voice of the commentator in charge of commentating the match between Arsenal and Manchester City, hoarse, excited, and even a little incoherent...

"Arsenal's dream of winning was shattered by Bentner! He scored twice and headed the ball cleanly! 2:2!! Arsenal is one point behind the Forest team, which has ended the game! This is really dramatic! Even the best screenwriter in Hollywood cannot write such a league ending! This is football..."

The city court regained its vitality in an instant, and everyone looked up and listened in vain. They soon confirmed that the source was correct. Because the sound was like this in their own radio. A huge cheer burst out.

Chris Lack knelt on the sidelines. He held the radio in his hand, and tears couldn't be stopped on his face.

Tang En jumped up without excitement. He just sat back on the coach's seat slowly, feeling that his heart could not support him anymore.

The players around them had already started screaming in shock. The news of the goal at the last moment was so exciting.

The sounds on the live broadcast continued, and the cheers on the scene became less, because everyone's attention was attracted by the commentary again.

"...The referee signaled Manchester City not to celebrate for too long. Arsenal players are protesting... The game starts again... Long shot! Fabregas' long shot!"

When everyone present heard the commentator suddenly adjust the volume, the hearts of everyone present were raised to their throats.

"Beautiful save! Joe Hart!"

The fans of the city court followed and shouted "Long live Hart!"

"Corner kick...This may be Arsenal's last offensive opportunity, and the referee is looking at the watch. Maybe the corner kick will end without entering the game..."

Everyone's hearts were lifted up again.

Tang En lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. If possible, he wanted to block his ears... Which bastard came up with the idea? Isn't this clearly trying to stimulate his fragile heart?

"Amunia rushed up..."

The booed the Forest fans in the stands.

"Everyone is crowded in Manchester City's penalty area. Manchester City just equalized the score with a corner kick. Can Arsenal use the corner kick to secure the victory?"

The boo is even louder. This time it is aimed at the commentator. This is too ravenous...

Even in such a noisy environment, Tang En could still clearly hear his heartbeat. He suddenly felt that time had slowed down, why didn’t the corner kick come out yet? Did he enter or not? Give me a pleasure, man...

"Amunia didn't hit...Sendros--!"

The commentator roared with a long tone, scaring Tang En so much that he almost jumped out of the chair, but there were indeed many people jumping up at the scene.

"High!"

you……

Tang En wanted to swear to the commentator. At that moment, his heart did stop beating and was scared.

Deafening cheers sounded in the stands. The sound was like thunder rolling, stirring in everyone's heart. They were sure that the Forest team won the league championship. Because after "high", the commentator immediately announced loudly: "The game is over! Nottingham Forest won the league championship! They defended their title successfully!!"

The players of the Forest team hugged each other tightly.   This championship is too difficult, and it even has a lucky component.   It's much harder to get than last season...

The referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.

Arsenal players couldn't believe this fact. They were stunned in front of Manchester City's goal.

Fabregas lowered his head. Van Persie sighed to the sky. Wilshere cried like a tearful person. They were once so close to the championship...

Arsenal Wenger stood on the sidelines, speechless for a long time. Behind him were Arsenal fans who were also unable to accept this reality. The red Emirates Stadium erupted like a crater for ninety minutes. Now it is extinguished and is gradually cooling down.

Evan Dogette took the initiative to reach out to the FA official and smiled: "Prepare for the awards, sir."

"Ah..." The expression on the FA officials' faces was so embarrassing. The league championship trophy changed hands in these three minutes. "Uh. Congratulations to you on the defending champions."

Evan smiled happily, and he raised his head to accept the official congratulations from the FA.

Tang En wanted to sit in the chair and continue to rest, but suddenly he was lifted up by the players who rushed up and carried him around the field. He accepted the cheers of all the fans.

Tang En sat on the shoulders of the players and waved to the stands frequently. This league champion is hard-won, and perhaps the most unforgettable champion in his coaching career.

He smiled happily above everyone. This made Xianya in the box breathe a sigh of relief.

Fifteen minutes later, the Forest players who returned to the locker room and changed into a t-shirt to win the championship and returned to the stadium to accept the awards from the FA.

In the end, Donn and Wood joined forces to lift the English Premier League championship trophy high. Amid the cheers of 30,000 fans in the audience, the Premier League in the 13-14 season came to a curtain, and they used the team's fourth top league championship trophy in history to bid farewell to the city stadium.

But this is not a farewell to this season. Instead, they have just set out.

Six days later at Wembley Stadium, the FA Cup is waiting for them.

Eleven days later, the European Champions League is also waiting for them.
