Chapter 062: Wonderful Offensive Battle
In Charlton's dressing room, the players sat in their chairs in a dull mood, waiting for the spit attack from head coach Curbishley. They did not play according to the tactics arranged by Curbishley in the last ten minutes of the first half, which made them a little uneasy. Curbishley has always been very strict. He has been coaching Charlton for two years and has a lot of prestige in the team. These players, especially the young players, are very afraid of him.
After a while, Kubishley slowly walked in, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. To the players' surprise, Kubishley did not lose his temper with them.
"You did a good job in the first half. It was my tactical mistake, but fortunately the score was only 1:1."
Kubishley was not a fool. He had seen the problem as early as Wang Li's interception. His players were not used to this tactic. They were not familiar with this style of play and did not know how to control the shift of formation. If this continued, their offensive desire and fighting spirit would be worn out by this kind of pass. But changing the tactics after the first 20 minutes was a slap in the face. By the 30th minute, his players had already changed the tactics on their own, which made Kubishley feel relieved and he stopped directing.
"In the second half, we will fight Wolverhampton in the midfield according to the last ten minutes of the first half, and mainly attack Wolverhampton's right side. Stuart, if you have the chance, run to the opponent's middle penalty area to provide support..." Kubishley drew on the tactical board, arranging the tactics for the second half.
On the other hand, the Wolverhampton dressing room was not so serious. The players were playing and joking with each other. Although the beginning of the first half was very depressing, the game was much smoother after the goal. At this time, Dave walked in with a smile on his face.
"If we continue to play like this in the second half, that old guy Kubishley will definitely not use this annoying tactic in the second half. I think he will attack us head-on. Boys, do you have confidence?"
"have!!!"
Seeing the players' mental state, Dave was very happy. "Very good, Harrison, you replace Blake. Alan, how are you? Can you still play?"
Wang Li was sitting in a corner with his head down, silently using his internal energy to recover his strength. When he heard Dave calling his name, he raised his head reflexively, "Oh, boss, I'm fine."
"Well, in the second half, Harrison, you have to stay in the front. Butler, pay attention to your position and don't rush too far forward. Naylor, keep an eye on..."
…
The second half of the game finally started amidst everyone's anticipation. Charlton's players seemed to have completely changed their demeanor. Their previous laziness had completely disappeared, and they were full of fighting spirit again. In their opinion, Charlton ranked one place higher than Wolverhampton in the Premier League, and under normal tactical conditions, there was no reason why they would not be able to beat their opponent.
So the two sides started a fierce confrontation at the beginning. The scene was completely different from the first half. All kinds of wonderful cooperation were played very smoothly, and the fans in the stands were also very enjoyable to watch.
In the 49th minute, Butler attacked from the right and went straight to the bottom line. When he turned around, Fish kicked the ball out of the low line, and Wolverhampton got a corner kick. Kamara kicked the ball to the center of the goal. Cladrick fought for this point, shook his head, and passed the ball to Wang Li in the middle of the penalty area. Wang Li swung his right foot and shot directly at the flying ball! Unfortunately, there were too many people in the penalty area, and the ball hit Perry and bounced out.
In the 57th minute, Newton dribbled the ball from the right, but was intercepted by Youer. In the scramble, Youer kicked the ball to Stuart. Cameron stepped forward to intercept, and Stuart made a long pass to Parker on the right. Parker dribbled the ball from the right, facing Butler's interception, he changed direction and dribbled the ball to the middle, and then made a long pass to Wolverhampton's penalty area. Di Canio got rid of Naror who was defending him at the moment of passing the ball, and the ball fell right behind Di Canio. He just kicked the ball with his heel, and the ball flew in front of him, and he followed up with his left foot and shot directly! The ball brushed Oakes' arm and flew into the net! Charlton made a beautiful offside attack, 2:1!
Just 4 minutes later, Newton on the right side rushed past Holland who had the ball and successfully intercepted it. After the ball reached Newton's feet, he immediately passed it diagonally to Kennedy in the middle. Kennedy got the ball, took two steps forward, and directly knocked the ball to Cameron who had just inserted. Before Charlton's players could rush forward to grab it, Cameron directly kicked it to Wang Li in front.
Seeing Wang Li get the ball, Perry and Yul immediately came over to double-team him. The coach said before the game that this kid must be guarded closely, and after more than 30 minutes of the game, they also deeply realized this point and must not let this black-haired kid play freely.
Wang Li took two steps back and rubbed his right foot on the ball, causing it to roll slowly backwards, hoping to make room. However, as Charlton's captain, Perry's defensive ability was indeed very good. Taking advantage of the gap between Wang Li's actions, he suddenly ran two steps and fell to the ground to tackle the ball! Wang Li instinctively made way, and the ball had already rolled to Yule's feet. Wang Li was anxious and took a "li" step, which instantly increased his speed to the extreme. Before Yule could react, he grabbed the ball back.
The process was neither fast nor slow, because Wang Li and Yur were very close to each other, and in the eyes of the fans in the audience, the black-haired boy on the field grabbed the ball back very cleanly and neatly. The whole process was not dragged at all, and every movement was very handsome, like dancing, which drew cheers from the audience.
After grabbing the ball, while Perry was still not standing up, Wang Li pushed the ball forward with his left foot, followed by a long shot with his right foot, and the ball flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
Although Wang Li's shot was at least 35 meters away from the goal, the shot was too sudden and the angle was very tricky. By the time Charlton goalkeeper Kelly reacted, it was too late and he could only symbolically dive to the left.
"Ah... the ball goes in???... a world wave!!! Wolverhampton's young player Alan Wang kicked a world wave!!! This ball is so beautiful, this is his second goal in this game, he is so outstanding! Wolverhampton has tied the score, 2:2!"
At the same time, in a villa on Clerkenwell Road in London, Ellis Tina completely disregarded her usual noble lady demeanor and excitedly gave Wang Hai a warm hug, saying excitedly: "Look! It's Alan, he scored again, he's amazing, he's really my son!"
Although Wang Hai did not show much excitement, his flushed face showed how excited he was at the moment. The black-haired boy who was hugging his teammates warmly on TV was his son!
"I still remember when he was little, he held the football tightly and begged me to go to Arsenal Football School. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye he is already playing in the Premier League." Tina said with some emotion.
"Alan's birthday is coming soon, what gift should I give him? When he was a kid, I could just buy him some toys, but now... I'm having a headache."
"Let me think about it... Alan doesn't have a girlfriend yet, so I'll give him my diamond ring. When he has a girlfriend, he won't have to worry about not having a gift."
"How can that be possible? That's something you can only give as a gift when you get married..."
Panning the map 3,000 meters, in an exquisite and elegant room on the second floor of Buckingham Palace, the little princess Angela sat on the sofa, and next to her sat a fat middle-aged man. There was a TV hanging on the wall opposite the sofa, and the TV was playing a slow-motion replay of Wang Li's long-range shot.
"Uncle Cole, Alan is so great! Look, he scored another goal!" Angela sat calmly on the sofa, behaving very ladylike, but her two little fists under her skirt were clenched tightly.
"Is this the boy? He scored two goals in this game. He's a very good kid and very handsome!" Cole looked at Angela with a sidelong glance and a gentle smile on his face. "Little Angela, do you want to meet him?"
After hearing this, Angela's face turned slightly red. She put her two little hands together on her legs, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something but nothing came out.
"Spring is coming, and our little Angela has grown up..."
