Chapter 109 Provocation (2)
"You'd better shut up!" Facing Greening's repeated provocations, Wang Li frowned and looked up and said.
Wang Li was a little annoyed after failing to steal the ball and being ridiculed by Greening. However, he turned around and saw that the ball was already at the feet of the black boy who was cutting in from behind. After saying a few words, Wang Li ignored Greening, shook his head, and quickly ran towards the penalty area. At this moment, he was not interested in wasting time with this annoying guy.
After being scolded by Wang Li, Greening was stunned for a moment, then a sly smile appeared on his face. He was usually very arrogant in the team, and coupled with his Great England ideology, he often had conflicts with his teammates, but he didn't care about it. On the court, he liked to talk trash to stimulate the opponents, especially to these young players under the age of 20. This kind of trash talk could really hit their hearts and make them lose their form.
Seeing the angry expression of the black-haired boy, Greening was complacent. The success of this strategy always brought him a sense of satisfaction. After passing the ball, he quickly followed Wang Li and ran towards the penalty area. "Boy, you pissed me off. Don't even think about playing well today!" While running, he spoke to Wang Li next to him again.
…………
As a defensive home player, George Boateng rarely has highlights on the field, but his few crosses can always penetrate the opponent's defense, and this time was no exception.
Boateng, who received the pass, looked up towards the penalty area, then dodged Craddock's snatch, swung his left foot, and the ball flew quickly towards the front of the penalty area in the middle. The ball was very fast and flew directly past two Wolverhampton defenders.
Cameron, who was standing on the right side of the penalty area, saw the ball rolling towards him. He was delighted and quickly walked towards the ball, but at this time Ronaldinho rushed up from behind and stopped the ball just before him.
After receiving the pass, Ronaldinho pulled the ball back, then gently moved it forward, dodged Cameron, and then kicked the ball directly towards Nemeth in the penalty area!
At this time, Wang Li and Greening also ran into the penalty area. Seeing the opponent's lob from the corner of his eye, Wang Li dodged a few steps and ran to the small penalty area line. Then he directly used the "Flying Star Technique" and prepared to jump up to clear the ball.
However, just as he jumped up and his body was still in mid-air, he felt someone pulling his jersey hard. The force made his body unbalanced. He was unable to touch the ball and fell directly to the grass with his face covered!
It turned out that just when he jumped up, Greening also hurried up with a wicked smile, stretched out his right hand, and secretly pulled his jersey hard, then immediately stepped back and looked towards the goal. His movements were very smooth, as if it was supposed to be that way. This obviously deceived the referee, because Wang Li, who was lying on the ground, did not hear the whistle at the first time.
"F..." After falling to the ground, Wang Li's first reaction was to turn around and swear in Chinese, but the tense situation in the penalty area prevented him from finishing the word.
Nemeth, who was leaning tightly against by Lescott, suddenly leaned back. In the rush, he bypassed Lescott and stretched out his right foot forward. He pulled the ball towards him and the ball fell to his feet. He then turned around and shot!
Nemeth's shooting action was almost identical to Miller's just now, and the result was also similar, the ball went directly into Oaks' arms. Even after Oaks hugged the ball tightly as if by reflex, he looked down in a daze, as if he was confirming something.
…………
Seeing that the ball didn't go in, Wang Li, who was still sitting on the grass, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.
"That move you just made was really beautiful. You're worthy of being England's 'dance master'!" Greening walked towards his own half of the field. When passing by Wang Li, he whispered sarcastically, and then ran away without waiting for Wang Li to say anything.
Wang Li's face flushed with anger at his words, but his reason told him not to be fooled. It was obvious that Greening did it on purpose. He just wanted to anger Wang Li and make him perform worse and worse, so that he could achieve his goal. Seeing Greening running away, he could only run to the front court helplessly.
However, Wang Li hated Greening even more in his heart. No matter how rational he was, he could not stand the repeated provocations of his opponent. He was now holding his breath, wanting to perform well on the court and get everything back!
…………
"It's a pity about this ball. Nemeth's shot was a bit flustered. He had plenty of time to adjust himself before shooting. Facing the chance to score, he was too excited. Maybe it was because he had just returned from the national team and Nemeth hasn't found his form yet. The Slovak main striker seemed unable to find the feeling for shooting." Borir weakly explained on BBC Sports Channel.
From the beginning of the game, Borrill's commentary was as dull as a textbook, without any inspiration. From his point of view, this game was not worth watching at all, and he only looked up some information about the two teams before the game in order to avoid mistakes in his work.
'England's dancing master? 'Bad boy' Greening? Nothing! These media are really good at making up stories, even the boss was deceived by them, I hope the game will end soon! 'Bollier thought silently.
…………
Seeing that the ball did not go in, McLaren, who had just stood up excitedly, sat down again with a little regret outside the court. This was indeed a good opportunity. Perhaps it was because Nemeth seldom played recently, he could not find the feeling of shooting.
Now, Middlesbrough's forward line includes three players in their prime years: Parnaby, Jobe and Nemeth, as well as veteran Juninho and young player Nestandin who just joined the team last year.
Ever since McClaren took over as coach of Middlesbrough, he has been adopting a rotation system in the forward line. These players in their prime years have the opportunity to play. This certainly makes the team less conflicted, but it also reduces a lot of competitive pressure on the players. Therefore, their performance on the court is not very stable.
Dave Jones on the other bench took a deep breath. If they lost the ball now, they would be in a passive position. He had great confidence in this game. Firstly, it was related to his title of Coach of the Month. Secondly, he had made many promises in the media interview before the game. If they lost, it was conceivable how much sarcasm and ridicule he would face after the game. This was not what he wanted to see.
On the contrary, he cares least about the team's points. Wolverhampton is already safe from relegation, and he has already started making plans for next season.
