We can't let them score again.
He's already let five goals through today. Although he's a backup goalkeeper and doesn't usually play, he still has a chance. Letting five goals through has already made him feel threatened by the third-choice goalkeeper. If he lets any more through, he might not even be the backup goalkeeper anymore, let alone the third-choice goalkeeper.
Just as Van der Sar rushed out, Batistuta also dribbled into the penalty area. Just as he was about to unleash a powerful shot, an Ajax player came flying in from behind and tackled him.
Batty clutched his ankle and fell to the ground.
That last move should have resulted in a red card and a penalty kick.
The team doctor came on and carried Batistuta off the field first.
Time was tight, and in the end, it was another penalty kick.
If they score, the score will be tied.
At this moment, the fans in the stadium were completely silent, all watching who would take the penalty kick.
If we're talking about the team's most famous player, it has to be Baggio.
He carried the ball to the penalty spot, gently placed it there, took a few steps back, and waited for the referee's whistle.
Batistuta got off the stretcher and looked directly at the ball.
The whistle blew.
Baggio began his run-up, and both the fans at the stadium and those watching on television were waiting for the goal. Even the commentators fell silent.
"bump!"
Because the field was quiet, the sound of Baggio's instep striking the ball was clearly recorded by the microphone.
Then came another loud crash.
Everyone witnessed the ball flying towards the goal and hitting the crossbar.
All the Ajax players rushed toward the ball that had bounced back onto the pitch.
The Rice players, having expended a lot of energy running, were a step slower than the Ajax players.
In just a split second, an Ajax player managed to get the ball.
The ball flew back to the rice team's back half, leaving only Baggio standing near the penalty spot, his hesitant eyes looking towards the back half.
There was no regret or remorse; he simply watched calmly.
He didn't chase after them, nor did he return to defend; he just stood there, watching, like a sculpture in the wind.
Van der Sar walked over from behind him and patted him on the shoulder.
Just after the filming ended, I saw the Ajax players who were charging ahead cheering and celebrating, just like that, another goal!
The final score was 5:7.
Despite facing extremely unfavorable circumstances, Ajax miraculously scored seven goals in the second half, each one a spectacular display.
A brilliant comeback, a thrilling match.
"The Luzhong Rice Workers' Team may have lost, but they deserve our respect!" Teacher Song exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, they showed sportsmanship and played a high-level game, showing us the gap between us and world-class clubs," Coach Lu added.
Xing Baohua stood up and applauded, and the fans in the entire stadium also applauded.
After the final whistle blew, the players from both teams were basically lying or sitting on the grass.
The staff offstage rushed over, some fetching water, others bringing towels.
There was an awards ceremony afterwards, but Ajax refused to accept the award.
They're still angry. Even though they won the game, there's no friendliness here.
As the fans were leaving, a loudspeaker announced that Inter Milan would be playing against the HK All-Stars tomorrow, and fans who were free could come and watch.
This was an unexpected surprise.
The HK All-Star team was added later. Although it was promoted, the promotion was short-lived, and most fans were unaware of it.
The fans were delighted. Three days of matches in a row—where else would they get such a great opportunity?
I'm happy to pay to come, but I'm afraid there won't be enough tickets.
At the celebration banquet that evening, the players looked listless; they were exhausted.
But then everyone was all smiles. Xing Baohua had brought cash with him; three million yuan was laid out on the table.
Each player who scores will receive 100,000, while those who don't will receive one unit for each player who plays and one unit for each substitute, divided equally among them.
After the players received their money, Xing Baohua raised his glass and said, "I know everyone is tired, so I won't say much. Go back and get some rest, recharge your energy, and beat Inter Milan the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, he did one first.
While Xing Baohua was celebrating his victory, little did he know that a national youth team coach named Genbao had his eye on the two players he had recruited.
One is Gao Feng, number 11, and the other is Peng Weiguo, number 6.
Coach Genbao told his assistant that after observing for a while, he could first come to the national Olympic team for training, and then be recommended to the national team.
Little did they know that the national Olympic team at that time consisted of players nurtured by other teams, who were still paying them salaries, and who were now competing against them for league spots.
Last year's championship was won by the national Olympic team.
Even if Gao Feng and Peng Weiguo are taken away, Xing Baohua will still pay them money, and the problem is that he pays them quite a lot.
In the 1990 season, they will definitely face off against the national Olympic team. Just imagine the scene: you spend a lot of money to poach the players, and they go with you without spending a penny.
I still have to pay their salaries and such, so it's really frustrating.
They only poached two people, and then transferred them away.
With only three foreign players allowed on the field, how are we supposed to compete?
Before we knew it, it was the 19th.
It was the same spot, the same stadium, but there were more people. The stadium was packed, and there were many spectators outside who were anxious because they didn't have tickets but were unwilling to leave.
There was a pre-match performance.
After all, they are a Hong Kong celebrity team and cheerleading squad.
First, everyone sang a fan song to get the atmosphere going. Then, some of the main celebrities sang songs, while others chatted.
The cheerleaders performed another cheerleading dance.
Anyway, the ticket was a worthwhile purchase.
The commentators are the same two as yesterday; they are currently preparing Inter Milan information.
On the Inter Milan side, every player is very serious.
They didn't know much about the HK All-Stars and thought it was a team from Hong Kong.
