Chapter 60: The Proud Russell(1/2)

Charles, "Pure Man". Philip was taken down and probably had to stay until the end of the game before he could be released.

This is a small episode on the court. Such naked runs are common in the world, especially in English football. You should know that as early as 1981 sports events, there were naked runners, first in the British rugby field, and the first person to take the lead was a woman - Erica Roy. She has since been called the "Naked Queen" by the British. Later, there were more naked runners, and some people even took naked runners as their careers and received sponsorship and support from various advertisers. Now TV broadcasters have learned to be smart. When they see naked runners appear, they immediately cut the camera to the audience stands, or replay the previous exciting shots.

Therefore, Philip's naked run was just a tribute to the "senius", and no one took it too seriously.

Everyone was not too surprised. After talking for a while, they focused on the game again.

But Wimbledon's players were still worried, and they took advantage of the opportunity to die and surrounded Joe Xilin.

"I hope you'd better explain what happened after the game, dead Jeep!"

Faced with the anger of his teammates, Qiao Xilin could only laugh.

"I think you all hope Chu scores a goal, right...ha! Ha..."

He searched in the crowd, hoping that someone could help him. But Andy Sullivan and Chu Zhongtian were neither there.

Hell! These two unkind bastards!

Just as he was cursing in his heart, he heard Chu Zhongtian's voice: "Okay, the game is still going on. Be careful not to let the referee think we are fighting in the middle."

The voice relieved him of the siege, and everyone glared at Xilin and dispersed.

Xilin, who had escaped from the crisis, breathed a sigh of relief and patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "Good, Chu! I knew you wouldn't leave me behind! That hateful damn Andy, since he had a woman, he became even colder..."

"No matter what, if you deceive them, you have to learn a lesson."

"I'm all for you!"

"I didn't ask you to lie..."

"Hey!" Xilin glared at the "ungrateful" man, turned around and ran away.

※※※ Charles Philip's naked run interrupted the offensive rhythm of North Glenford United. A good offense was terminated before, so the referee ordered both sides to compete for the ball. Wimbledon's player was still very graceful and kicked the football to the opponent's half, handing the ball to the opponent and then organizing the attack.

Their actions won applause from the stands.

After North Glenford United got the ball, they were no longer polite and launched a new offensive.

Chu Zhongtian temporarily threw the joy and excitement of the goal aside. He knew that the game was not over and the goal was meaningless. Unless the game was won, his goal was useful. If they failed in the end, no matter how many goals they scored, no matter how beautiful the balls were, they would have no value.

The rain was still falling. After nearly sixty minutes of the game, the turf of the Kings Ranch was trampled so that they could not see their original appearance. Large pieces of brown soil were turned up and scattered everywhere on the field. The gullies that seemed to have been plowed were all the result of tackles.

Even in this case, Chu Zhongtian had no scruples when defending. He didn't care how much mud he would get stuck on his body, he didn't care that sewage would splash into his mouth every time he tackled the ball, nor did he care about showering in the locker room of Kings Ranch. Whenever someone attempted to drive the ball through him, he would rush over without hesitation, and then take advantage of the slippery field to put the opponent on the ground. The referee generally would not call a foul - he would think that it was caused by slippery field.

※※Is it enough to lead by two goals?

It seems enough, but who will refuse more goals? So after solidifying the defense, Wimbledon began to try more offenses. They wanted to slap North Glenford United in this game to vent the rage accumulated by being deceived by Xilin. They can't really beat the boy Xilin, but they can smash the goal of the North Glenford United!

Russell raised his hand to ask for the ball in the frontcourt. He didn't care that he was following a North Glenford United player at this time. He just wanted the ball and wanted to take the team's offense under his feet.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian scored, he was a little excited.

Although he scored the first goal of this game, in terms of excitement, it is far from Chu Zhongtian's long shot.

Alai Russell is a proud person, and people who are familiar with him will think so. His family is well off, so he could not choose the football path. With his family background, he might have succeeded faster in other ways. But he likes football. He has been a Wimbledon fan since he was a child, so when he became sensible, he chose to play football in the Wimbledon youth team. He thought he was talented and able to become a star in the generation.

If it weren't for his poor physical fitness and thin body, maybe he could really... be so proud that he was terminated by the club due to physical fitness, which would have been a big blow. Fortunately, he is still playing football now, just in the Ninth League in England, in a semi-professional team. From the echelon of professional teams to the semi-professional and semi-amateur team, this did not affect Russell's pride - he is the most skilled player in the internal team, he is the core of the team's offensive organization, he is the handsomest person in the captain, he may also be the richest player in the team... Look, there are so many reasons that can make him proud, why can't he be proud? After all, he is just a young man who is just twenty years old.

Although he was defeated by Chu Zhongtian and was forced to tie him up with Chu Zhongtian and to suffer various tortures, which made him unable to be proud during that period. But this did not hinder his proud heart, and it would not be shaken. He always believed that if his physical fitness was better, the current English football world would no longer be grateful for Joe Cole's emergence. Fortunately, they finally had a midfielder with excellent skills under their feet... I am the best!

In fact, Russell and Chu Zhongtian are both proud people, but the difference between them is that Russell always wants to excel in offense, while Chu Zhongtian pursues perfection in defense.

The advantage of this division of labor is that Russell will not be jealous because Chu Zhongtian performed well, because he is not good at defense, and he is the best in the offensive field, which is enough. He doesn't want to be an all-rounder in the court. Even if Chu Zhongtian asks him to learn ball control skills, he doesn't refuse, because he believes that Chu Zhongtian can't surpass himself in offense anyway. Although that guy is very hardworking and smart, he learns things quickly.

But Chu Zhongtian's goal really made him feel a little threat... Logically speaking, people like him should not envy others. He has a good family background, talent, handsomeness, and a womanhood. But he just envies Chu Zhongtian because Chu Zhongtian has everything he doesn't have - good physical fitness, outstanding body, strong enough, and explosive. If he gave all these things, what would he look like? At least he should have scored his first goal in the Premier League, right?

He thought about eight months ago, on this court, the whole team went to Enfield Town to participate in the game, and he and Chu Zhongtian were left alone for special training because of poor performance. At that time, Chu Zhongtian said a joke: "Then let's get together."

Chu Zhongtian also envied his skills under his feet.

Of course it is impossible to combine, even if Russell makes the head.

Russell decided to use a better performance in this game to dilute the sense of threat that Chu Zhongtian called him in his heart.

I am not as good as you in defense, but in offense, it is my territory! I am the best!

※※※ Chu Zhongtian hesitated for a moment and did not pass the ball to Russell, which made Russell very angry. Taking advantage of the opportunity to die, he ran up and questioned: "Hey, Mad Dog, why didn't he pass the ball to me?"

Chu Zhongtian felt that his problem was inexplicable: "You have two North Glenford United players around you, and there is another five meters in front of you. You are still holding your hands up and yelling at me. The fool knows that you are a catch point. If I pass it over, won't it be cut off? I'm not that stupid..."

He mumbled and turned around and ran back, it was time to defend.

Russell clenched his fists and admitted that what Chu Zhongtian said just now was correct, but who made him a famous mixed county league figure? Wimbledon's opponents knew that Wimbledon could keep winning because they had several super powerful figures - the number one scorer, captain Kevin Cooper, No. 2 scorer, Joe Shilin, who once played for Chelsea, and he, a midfielder who had received professional training in the Wimbledon professional club tier.

Why is there no Chu Zhongtian? Because Chu Zhongtian missed all the team's games held in the middle of the week, it didn't attract much attention.

Now Russell has only one way to get rid of the opponent's entanglement, that is, he applied to be replaced. But he would never do this. Not only that, if the head coach wants to change at this time, he would still look dissatisfied.

※※※"Terry." Ingrich looked at his watch, "Sixty minutes passed, consider changing Russell. He was closely guarded by the opponent and had no chance."

Eames nodded. "You're right, Nicky. Go and ask Sidwell to warm up. We'll replace Russell in five minutes. He really should have a good rest."

Ingrich walked to the bench and waved to Sidwell who was chatting with his companions on the bench: "Sidwell, go warm up quickly."

Lee Sidwell (lee_sidwell) is also the team's defensive midfielder. When Chu Zhongtian cannot play, he starts - usually in the middle of the week. Except for this time, Chu Zhongtian must be a main player who cannot be beaten.

Replaced a front midfielder and added a back midfielder. It seems that Eames is planning to hold the advantage of these two goals, and he is very satisfied with the 3:1 score.

※※※Some people are not satisfied, very dissatisfied.

Russell kept interspersing back and forth in the frontcourt. This time he no longer raised his hand to ask for the ball, as it would be too easy for the opponent to notice. He just kept running and didn't care about his physical fitness being less and less.

He hopes that Chu Zhongtian and other teammates can see him, and when he runs into a gap, he passes the ball and then handes it over to him to reorganize the attack.

He hates rain, and even more hates this bad venue, because these things deprive him of the organizational rights, soccer always flies in the air, and he can't do anything beneath except tilting his neck to see.

Damn long pass! Why am I not a Brazilian, but I was born in England?

This is Russell's complaint.

Borger is getting the ball now. Russell has told him before that he wants him to pass the ball to himself as much as possible. As his best friend, Borger knows why Russell did this. Chu just scored a goal that made the whole game boil and would discuss until the night. How could the proud Russell make Chu Junmei beautiful?

As a friend, he had to help Russell accomplish this goal - to make him the most eye-catching player on the court again.

He glanced ahead, Russell was running from the middle to the side, while the full-back of North Glenford United was pulled out because he was pulled out, which was a gap. Although Russell was still following a North Glenford United player, it was indeed an offensive opportunity. Borger believed Russell's skills, and if he was just a defensive player, he could easily swipe by.

Borger pushed the ball straight out, bypassed the full-back who was guarding the inside, and rolled to the right side of the penalty area. Russell happened to receive the ball.

Seeing the football rolling towards him, Russell did not stop directly. He knew very well that in such an environment, if the ball was stopped to death in such a place, it would mean that there was no hope of this attack entering the penalty area. At that time, he could only protect the football and attract the opponent's full-back to return to defense, and then pass the ball to Borge, and the opponent's defensive formation was also re-arranged.

The offense is about surprise, especially when it is outside the penalty area. Those strong teams can slowly grind with their opponents outside the 30-meter area and pass back and forth, looking very patient and not in a hurry at all. But once they find the gap in the opponent's defense line, they will immediately speed up and pass with a fatal straight pass directly into the opponent's confidant!

This is the offense Russell wants. He hates the warm-hearted offensive. He likes to surprise him!

Russell turned sideways to the sideline, and at the same time blocked the other side with one hand, pushing the player who was leaning forward, making a move to protect the ball. The opponent believed it and slowed down. On the one hand, he avoided fouls and gave the opponent a free kick in this place. On the other hand, his feet were too slippery, so he was afraid that he would rush too quickly and lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground.

When the football rolled over, Russell suddenly stepped on the football with his right foot and swung it back to the left side of his body... At the same time, he gently pushed the opponent's player, and suddenly started to start and circled around from the outside!

The opponent's player never expected Russell to suddenly start the attack. In addition, Russell pushed him, and he wanted to start and chase him, but his feet lost the center of gravity and slipped to the ground.

"Beautiful!"

The fans in the stands cheered and kept cheering because Russell had already dribbled into the penalty area!

"Ohhhh! Russell! Give them some color!"

Someone shouted loudly in the stands.

The opponent's central defender saw Russell breaking through his teammate's defense so easily, and rushed up to fill the position. This time, he couldn't be passed by the opponent, even if it was a shovel... Russell didn't mean to pass the ball. Although Kevin Cooper and Joe Xilin were in very good positions, he just lowered his head and led it into the penalty area. He had already thought about what to do next - the opponent's second central defender would definitely come to fill the position. As long as he made a fake shot, he would definitely trick the opponent into making the position. He stopped and missed, and then shot, and he would definitely score!

This is a perfect plan.

Russell is quite confident in his ball possession level. He believes that in the narrow penalty area, he can dodge the opponent's shovels within a very small range, and can also lay the foundation for his shot.

That's it!

He swung his left foot and made a move to shoot. When he saw the opponent's central defender obediently flying to the ball, he was about to stop his shot.

But this was just a fake move. After Russie swung his left foot down, he just pulled the ball back a little, allowing the opponent's tackle leg to just rub the football over.

This should have been the case.

But just as Russell was doing this move, his support foot - his right foot slipped... His center of gravity suddenly leaned forward, and his left foot naturally couldn't help pulling the football back obediently. The opponent's fierce flying tackle had already arrived... The No. 4 central defender of North Glenford United was more than 1.9 meters tall and his weight was visually over 180 kilograms. The kinetic energy he came from sprinting with all his strength and then flew to the ball. Russell, who had no time to dodge, was pretended to be out of the bottom line by the opponent, and he hit the billboard before stopping.

This was a fierce collision, and the splashed mud and water had not completely fallen until they hit the billboard. Where the two people collided, the soil was even more flew away and they were in a mess.

The referee's whistle sounded, and he looked at his gesture and finally pointed to the penalty spot!

Penalty!

The No. 4 player of North Glenford United, who was fouled, saw the referee's cleanup, got up from the ground in anger and rushed to find the referee to argue.

Russell, who was lying beside him, did not get up, maybe he was tired?

No.

"Hey, Alai! We finally got a penalty kick, ha..." Borge ran up and prepared to pull his friends up, but saw a scene that surprised him:

His good friend curled up in the mud, covering the knee of his right leg with one hand and the ankle of his left foot with the other. His eyes were closed, his expression was painful, and he opened his mouth wide but could not say a word.

"Oh...oh my god! Alai!" Borger rushed over and knelt in the mud. He turned around and asked for help from the person closest to him: "Call the stretcher quickly, he is injured!"

The Wimbledon players over there didn't bother to celebrate the penalty kick, and they ran to Russell and Borger who were lying on the sidelines.
To be continued...
