Chapter 113 Heavy Artillery Boom (2)
In Middlesbrough's attack just now, Mills stood too far forward. He was a purely defensive defender and had almost no effect in the attack, but when observing the situation in the frontcourt, he unconsciously walked to the vicinity of the midline. When Greening was intercepted, he realized that he had to return to defense, but Cameron's ball speed was too fast, and Wang Li's speed was too fast. He could only eat dust behind Wang Li and chased back with all his strength, but when Wang Li dribbled the ball to the penalty area line, he was still two body lengths away from Wang Li!
In the penalty area, central defender Cooper stood there, calmly waiting for Wang Li's attack. He had no intention of running towards the ball. His rich game experience made him very calm when facing the forward's surprise attack. If Wang Li wanted to score a goal, he had to break through his defense!
As he gets older, Cooper, who is already 34 years old this year, has become less and less physically fit. In the team's offense, he is simply unable to advance. So in the past two years, what he has to do is to stabilize the team's defense. Even when the team has a great advantage, he has always been standing in the backcourt. Perhaps it is his stability in defense that has won McLaren's trust.
But this time, Cooper made a wrong judgment. He did not watch the opponent's game video carefully before the game, so he had no understanding of Wang Li at all!
Seeing the opponent's defender standing in the penalty area, Wang Li realized that if he rushed forward directly, he would inevitably pass this seemingly experienced defender. Now Miller was still behind him, and Harrison was sandwiched by two defenders of the opponent!
Seeing this situation, Wang Li raised the corner of his mouth, and kicked the ball directly into the goal in Cooper's disbelieving gaze!
Long shot!
That’s right, Wang Li chose a long shot!
Cooper wanted to use the narrow space in the penalty area to grab the ball, but this gave Wang Li the opportunity to kick the ball at will on the edge of the penalty area! The ball whizzed through the air and flew in a straight line towards the left corner of the goal!
This shot was quite sudden. Even after Wang Li shot, Cooper was still staring at him in a daze. However, goalkeeper Schwartz made a great contribution this time!
As a goalkeeper, Schwartz would carefully study the goal videos of the opponent's scorers before each game to understand their habits and keep himself alert at all times during the game. Therefore, he knew Wang Li very well. The header shot just now was indeed beyond his expectations, but when Wang Li reached the penalty area with the ball, he realized that the black-haired boy was likely to shoot directly from that position. In previous game videos, this kind of long-distance goal of more than 30 meters had been scored many times!
Sure enough, Schwartz's judgment was correct. He jumped to the right position, and the ball touched his hands and flew to the left side of the small penalty area. This also made the fans in the audience and McLaren on the bench breathe a sigh of relief. If the opponent scored again, it would be difficult for them to tie the score.
However, the following scene made their hearts, which had just been relieved, rise again!
A white figure came to the ball, it was Harrison!
The ball rolled towards the unguarded Harrison! Unguarded? ! ! Did anyone see when this little guy stood in that position? ! !
Facing the empty goal, Harrison's easy shot directly brought the hearts of McLaren and many fans to the bottom! !
"I told you this kid can do it!" Dave Jones on the bench jumped up excitedly when he saw the goal and yelled at the assistant coach! ! Harrison's goal made him more excited than Wang Li's. In Dave Jones' heart, Harrison has become the team's forward general for next season! !
McLaren stared at the goal line and saw Harrison, who was being patted on the head by his teammates and grinning, and he felt a strong sense of jealousy in his heart. Alan Wong, Harrison, Lescott, the young players of the Wolverhampton team have performed very well this season, and even squeezed some players in their prime to the bench. I don't know what kind of luck that "arrogant man" has!
…………
"Alan Wang's long shot was very skillful and the angle was very tricky, but Schwartz played very well today and actually saved the ball. But what puzzles everyone most is when did the small striker of Wolverhampton stand in that position? I didn't see it clearly, so please watch the slow-motion replay together!" On the BBC Sports Channel, Borir was also excited when he saw this wonderful long shot, the save and the follow-up shot.
From the slow-motion replay, the fans all understood Harrison's wonderful run just now. At the moment when Wang Li shot, Harrison suddenly got rid of the defender and ran towards the left corner of the goal. At this time, the two defenders of Middlesbrough were still staring at the ball and didn't realize that the person they were defending had run away!
I don't know if it was luck or true awareness, but the ball finally landed in Harrison's position. To use Miller's description, "Harrison is pure luck!"
But is this really just luck?
…………
After conceding another goal, Middlesbrough's morale gradually dropped. In just seven minutes, they conceded two goals in a row to their opponents, which forced them to strengthen their defense. If they conceded another goal, they would not have to play in the second half. Even at the Riverside Stadium, they did not have the confidence to catch up with three goals in a row within forty-five minutes.
However, this was just the beginning. Wang Li felt that he had a good feeling for shooting today, so two minutes later, he repeated the same trick. On the left side of Middlesbrough's penalty area, he used a "shadowless kick"-style bicycle kick to dribble past Greening and took a long shot. The ball missed the left post and went out of the bottom line.
Greening, who had just been beaten, looked angrily at Wang Li, who ignored him and ran directly to the backcourt, with red eyes!
In the 41st minute of the game, Butler received a pass on the right side. Facing Greening's defense, he did not choose to break through with the ball directly, but passed it to Wang Li on the left. Seeing Wang Li receiving the ball, Greening immediately gave up Butler and ran directly towards him.
Greening was filled with anger at this moment, it was this kid who made him look so bad just now. He knew that his embarrassing situation just now would be very popular on the Internet, and he would become the laughing stock of the whole England in the near future. Although he could not find any evidence of Wang Li's attack in the slow-motion replay, when he thought of the kid's smirk before his belt was torn, he was sure in his heart that it must be this kid's doing!
"Boy, you won't get a second chance to break through my defense!" Greening shouted at him with a red face.
Wang Li paid no attention to Greening's expression. When Greening ran to him, he kicked the ball forward and chased after the ball with light steps. Seeing Wang Li break through him again, Greening flew from behind and tackled Wang Li angrily. He didn't care whether he tackled the ball or the person!
But Wang Li's speed of running without the ball was so fast that when Greening made a tackle, Wang Li had already left him at least three body lengths behind. Greening was like a clown doing a funny move on the ground, causing the fans in the audience to laugh, which made him even angrier!
After catching up with the ball, Wang Li had already reached the penalty area, which was within his shooting range again! Middlesbrough's defensive players had already seen Wang Li's long shot, and Southgate and Davis immediately ran over to compete for it, leaving no space for Wang Li to shoot.
Seeing the two defenders rushing over, Wang Li dodged, pulled the ball to the left, followed a few steps, and shot directly with his left foot while running!
Left foot!
This is not the shooting style that Wang Li is good at, but this ball is full of power!
As his sight was blocked by his own defender, Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwartz had no time to react, and the ball flew directly into the net, brushing Schwartz's left arm! !
"Gooooooooooo...al!! The ball goes in!! It's the young player Alan Wang again, another long shot. This is his third long shot in seventeen minutes. The power of his shot is too great. The angle of this ball is not good, but the speed is absolutely first-rate! The third shot, finally got a goal!!" Seeing the continuous long shots on the court, Borir finally got excited. What football needs is **. He now feels very lucky that he can come to comment on this game!
"The game has just entered the 42nd minute and Wolverhampton is already leading by three goals, with the score 0:3. I wonder what McLaren would think? He vowed to win before the game, but does he still have the confidence now?" As Borir spoke, the TV screen immediately turned to McLaren, who was sitting on the bench with a gloomy face. The current situation on the field was something he had never thought about before the game. How could he continue to play after conceding three goals in a row from the opponent?
At this time, everyone in the stadium was staring at Wang Li who was celebrating the goal. No one noticed that Greening, with a red face, slowly walked towards Wang Li...
