Chapter 1977 The heroes of the Chinese team

When Pete Williams stood in front of the penalty spot, England commentator Matthew Cox was so excited that his voice even trembled a little:

"The England team won a penalty kick! In this case, the game may end in regular time!"

In fact, going from the top 16 to the top 8 is not worth the excitement of an experienced commentator.

The main reason is that the process of this game was too ups and downs.

From the opening, England took the lead in scoring, and then was chased by the Chinese team for two goals in a row, overtaking the score, and then England also chased two goals in a row, taking the lead again. Eighty minutes into the game, the score was still 3:2. Many England fans believed that the England team would win the game. Unexpectedly, the Chinese team evened the score again with this cross that almost went out of bounds.

At this level of the game, it feels normal for anyone to advance, but it also means that advancing has become extremely difficult.

The score is now 3:3, and the game time has exceeded the stoppage time. Considering the penalty red card, the interruption time is a bit long. The referee may make up a little time as appropriate, but it will definitely not be too long.

So the penalty kick at this time is a chance to decide the outcome of the game.

It was a real kill!

Matthew Cox yelled, "Pete!" after Pete started his run-up.

Then I didn't say a word, because Pete's run-up time was indeed a bit long...

But he knew that this was putting pressure on the goalkeeper of the Chinese team!

So he also cooperated.

Until Pete swung his foot to shoot, he yelled again: "Shoot!"

Then he widened his eyes and watched Lin Zhiyuan block the football!

Before he had time to feel annoyed, he saw the football hit the post and bounced back to the goal.

Matthew Cox cheered up again: "There is still a chance!"

Pete Williams sprints to where the football lands and heads it in!

Lin Zhiyuan had no time to get up...

Is it always there now?

No!

I don't know if Pete Williams' header was too straight, or Lin Zhiyuan's feet were stretched too far...

Anyway, the football was blocked by Lin Zhiyuan with his foot!

This time there is no chance of a follow-up shot.

The football flew high, over the crossbar, and landed in the top net above the goal.

Matthew Cox in the commentary seat held his head in his hands, unable to speak, feeling a little depressed.

He Feng, who was obliquely behind him, suddenly got up from his seat and knocked over the chair behind him. Wearing a headset, he vigorously waved his fists:

"Lin Zhiyuan! He made a save! Wonderful save! Incredible two consecutive saves! He made a contribution! He made a contribution! He lived up to Wang Guangwei's red card! Beautiful! Beautiful! The Chinese team is still alive! England didn't kill us! No !!"

Yan Kang next to him stood up like him and shouted: "This pounce made Lin Zhiyuan a hero of the Chinese team! It also made Wang Guangwei, who was sent off with a red card for intentional handball in the penalty area, a hero of the Chinese team! They joined forces to stop England's lore...and twice! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

There was a mess in the commentary booth, and the commentators from all over the world were exclaiming repeatedly.

"The Chinese are back to life! The game is about to enter overtime!"

"The craziest screenwriter can't write a script like this! Red card plus penalty, Wang fouled England to prevent a goal. Now Lin stopped it again with an unbelievable double jump!"

"The Chinese team is so tenacious! This is their first knockout game in the World Cup, but you can't see the feeling of novices at all. They seem to have reached the top 16 in every World Cup...It's amazing, it's amazing Yes! This game has completely refreshed my understanding of the Chinese team and Chinese football!"

"Lin Zhiyuan saved Pete's penalty! The Chinese team retains the hope of staying in the World Cup! They have won glory for Asian football with practical actions! The real "Light of Asia"!"

…

There are many, many more shouts and praises like this.

In this World Cup, the Chinese team has actually surprised many people and broke their old stereotypes. However, whether it was the 3-0 victory over the defending champion or the 3-1 victory over Nigeria in the key group stage match, there was no match. This quarter-final was even more shocking.

With the number one favorite to win the World Cup, the only team with three consecutive victories in the group stage, and the team with the most goals, they played back and forth. In the last minute of the game, they were sent off by a red card and were forced to a desperate situation... When the whole world thought they should lose, they hadn't lost yet.

Everyone watched them fall from the edge of the cliff, thinking that the Chinese team would die this time, but after rushing to the edge of the cliff, they found a tree protruding from the edge of the cliff. The Chinese team just grabbed the trunk of the tree with both hands and hung Outside the cliff.

Although it is extremely dangerous, it hasn't fallen yet after all!

"My day!"

"Nice! Lin Zhiyuan is awesome!"

"The Chinese team is awesome!"

"Niu Pi Niu Pi! Really Jill Niu Pi!"

In the living room of Chu Yifan's house, everyone was roaring and roaring at the top of their lungs, exhausting all their energy to vent the tension, despair, pain and depression just now.

Not only them, at this moment in China, in the living rooms of many houses, in many late-night food stalls, in many bars, theaters, and private rooms, there are huge cheers and all kinds of swearing.

The same is true on the Internet.

"Fuck! Lin Zhiyuan's ball...Fuck! Awesome! Fuck!"

"Fuck me **** I **** me!"

"I **** turned off the TV, but I heard the roar from the upstairs opposite, so I quickly turned on the TV... What the **** did I miss ahhhhhhh!"

"Awesome! Lin Zhiyuan saved the Chinese team and Wang Guangwei!"

"What nonsense, Lin Zhiyuan and Wang Guangwei joined hands to save the Chinese team!"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. It was Lin Zhiyuan and Wang Guangwei who saved the Chinese team together! They are all heroes of Chinese football!"

"I'm dying of laughter! Before this penalty kick, Lin Hai Tingtao posted on Weibo that the Chinese team is definitely out this time, and he even wrote the eulogy...Now everyone is running to thank him for shining the light on the Chinese team! Hahaha! "

"The Chinese team is awesome! I don't care what our results are at the end of this World Cup. With this game and performance, they are the heroes in my heart!"

"Fuck, Wang Guangwei didn't go back to the locker room?"

In the TV broadcast, the scene of Wang Guangwei appeared again.

When Pete Williams took a penalty kick, he was at the entrance of the player channel of the Pirates Park Stadium. Instead of going in, he stood nervously with his back to the court and waited.

When there was a huge noise on the court, he couldn't tell the specific result of the ball from the sound for a while.

At this time, in the stands next to the entrance of the player tunnel, some Chinese fans were yelling at him and told him the result.

So he immediately turned around and ran out, and he did see that it was the Chinese team players, not the England players, who were celebrating.

For a moment, he was so excited that he wanted to rush onto the field to celebrate with his teammates. After only two steps, he remembered that he had already been sent off. According to the rules, he was not allowed to step on the football field.

So he stopped again, and then looked at the teammates who rushed towards Lin Zhiyuan in the distance, celebrating alone.

go in circles. jump. Shake your fist. He retracted it and put it on his chest, clutching it hard, trembling slightly.

If you can't find someone else to hug, you can only hug yourself.

He, who still had tears on his face, was smiling so happily now.

"King team! King team..."

In the bar in Jincheng, Wu Yue and their former teammates of the Jiaxiang High School football team, instead of cheering with the others around them, wept loudly, calling for their old captain.

"The **** in Dongchuan owe us another favor, Team Wang!"

※※※

Seeing the football go over the crossbar and fly out, Pete Williams, who completed the supplementary shot, stood in front of the goal, raised his hands behind his head, and stared blankly at the scene.

Someone bumped him from behind, and his body was slightly crooked, and someone bumped him from the other side, and knocked his body straight again.

All the Chinese players ran past him and jumped at Lin Zhiyuan.

In front of his eyes, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team had just stood up from the ground when he was knocked to the ground by the swarming teammates.

A group of people rushed into the goal like this.

They cheered and screamed with the few Chinese words Pete could understand:

What's Up!

New Bee!

But Pete's brain has lost the ability to think, and he has no reaction at all to everything he sees and hears.

Until Johnson Law came up to hug him, pulled him away from the celebrating Chinese players, and comforted him: "It's okay, Pete! It's okay! We haven't lost yet, and there are 30 minutes of overtime, you Brace yourselves! Brace yourselves! Don't let this penalty affect you!"

Although he wore the captain's armband on his arm, Pete was only twenty-five years old after all.

It's hard to say whether a twenty-five-year-old young man can handle such a huge pressure...

Now there is definitely 30 minutes of overtime in this game. As the core of the team's midfield, Pete Williams must quickly adjust his mentality, otherwise the team will be in danger after entering overtime.

Pete Williams' performance before missing the penalty was impeccable. There's no need to blame him for missing a penalty.

At least, he is not England's sinner.

After Johnson Law dragged Pete Williams out of the Chinese penalty area, other England players came up to comfort Pete.

On the other side, the crazy celebration of the Chinese team players is coming to an end.

Everyone got together and took advantage of this opportunity to unify their thinking.

Although the captain Wang Guangwei is no longer on the field, Lin Zhiyuan seems not qualified to speak to everyone as the captain.

But this is not a problem, this Chinese team does not need someone to be a leader now, each of them has enough self-awareness.

Chen Xingyi said: "Okay, okay~lightnovelpub.net~ There are still 30 minutes left in the game, everyone calm down. If someone gets one in overtime, then we will lose our heads! "

Luo Kai nodded in agreement: "That's right, and we still have one less player. Overtime will definitely be difficult! Keep your spirits up and focus!"

Liu Yan and Cai Shuyi expressed their views at the same time: "We will never let the England team score again!"

Lin Zhiyuan stretched out his left hand that saved Pete Tee's ball: "I feel that I am in a very good state today, you can rest assured to leave the back to me!"

Seeing this, Hu Lai folded his hands up.

Lin Zhiyuan was a little surprised, but he didn't withdraw his hand.

Xia Xiaoyu followed Hu Lai and put his hand on it.

Then one by one, everyone put their hands on top.

Just like before the game started.

"Come on! One, two, three, the Chinese team!"

"come on!!"
