Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 36

The game is very particular about rhythm and "momentum", just like the ancient Chinese once said in the debate: "One vigorous effort, then decline, and three exhaustion."

The same is true on the pitch-Tottenham play one more man, fast break again and again, and the momentum is in full swing.As a result, it was interrupted by an extremely rare "accident" on the court, and the momentum of the continuous attack was reduced. Anyway, they now have a ball in their hands and the game will end soon. The Tottenham players are not worried.

While the little black cat was rushing left and right on the field, trying to escape from the encirclement of the staff, Anton called the players on the field except the goalkeeper to the sidelines.The fitness coach handed them sports drinks, and the players panted, drinking water while listening to Anton's tactical arrangements for the last few minutes.

"Boys, listen to me, you still have about 10 minutes to fight hard, cherish it!"

As Anton said so, the players on the field nodded together.Henderson also opened his arms and said loudly: "Brothers, we must believe in ourselves, God will favor those who work hard!" All the Sunderland players gathered in a circle and put their arms on each other's shoulders——

At this time, the little black cat was hugged by a staff member of the Stadium of Light, and quickly ran off the court.At a glance, Anton felt that those emerald eyes were very familiar—could this be Larry?

At this moment, Webb blew the whistle to continue the game.Tottenham's men were already on the sidelines preparing for a throw-in, intending to strike before the Sunderland men had time to get back in line - but were stopped by the fourth official as Sunderland requested a substitution at this point. people.

Anton made a substitution arrangement and replaced Shaqiri, who was about to be exhausted, with Vardy.

Vardy was on the sidelines and had been warming up for a long time, but he was ordered in the face of danger. This young man who just came up from the amateur team still looked uneasy.

At this time, Anton was beside him, patted Vardy on the shoulder, and whispered to him: "I know a very good striker, and he once said such a thing."

"It's a feeling where you watch the ball go through the air and you automatically know where it's going to land. That's when you forget about yourself, it's like you're a gust of wind and you know you're going to get there in time , and the ball will land on your toes..."

When Vardy heard this, he opened his eyes wide, thinking, and even forgot to be nervous.Anton's words seemed to open up a new world for him.

"Go, young man!" Anton patted Vardy on the back: Go, embrace difficulties, embrace challenges, run and rush, and enjoy life on the green...

After Vardy came on the field, Tottenham had a chance to throw a throw-in.By this time the game had been interrupted for about 6 minutes, plus other injuries in the second half, it is estimated that there will be about 8 minutes of stoppage time in this game.

It's the 87th minute.

Bell continued his game, received the ball from his teammate, stopped a little too big, and in a blink of an eye, the ball was gone.

The ball at Bell's feet was intercepted by the red-haired boy Kaulbeck. After Kaulbeck intercepted the ball, he didn't dribble the ball straight to the bottom as before. He only looked up, and immediately lifted his foot, and the ball made an arc. The line crossed half the pitch and spun to a position that Tottenham players would never expect.

Naturally knowing where the ball landed...like a gust of wind...running there in time--

While Tottenham's defenders were still waiting and watching, Vardy had already run to about five or six yards outside the far post of Tottenham's goal.As soon as his chest stopped, the ball had landed firmly on his feet.The Tottenham goalkeeper quickly blocked, but it was too late.As soon as the man lifted his foot, the ball entered the goal through a tiny gap between the goal post and the goalkeeper.

There was an instant earth-shattering yell from the Stadium of Light, and the fans jumped to their feet - and they equalized, in the final moments of the game.

We are not done yet!We are still in the game! ——There was a roar from the stands.Ten people challenged and fell behind by one goal. When everyone was almost desperate, they came back, and they came back again!

At this time, the Tottenham players complained to the linesman. They did not expect Sunderland to score such a goal: Isn't it offside?The ball was passed from Sunderland's half.Tottenham's few defensive players didn't think anyone could run in such a short time.

But the linesman was very sure. What he saw was that at the moment of passing the ball, Vardy happened to be standing behind the last Tottenham defender and was not in an offside position.The surprise of the Tottenham players should be why someone can explode with such an amazing speed in a very short period of time, and find the ball's landing point accurately and impartially.

Bald Webber decisively judged that the goal was valid.At this moment, Vardy has opened his arms and rushed back, giving the red-haired boy a big hug.He was grateful to Colbeck for making the ball for him, but Colbeck still had a serious face and said: "It's hard to make a ball, but fortunately you didn't waste it!"

Vardy: ...?

Colbeck let out a "ha" laugh, and patted Vardy on the shoulder: "The ball just now was actually covered by me. I didn't expect you to get there in time, and I was worried for a long time!"

Vardy was angry and funny, and finally realized that he had gained another bad friend outside of his old club. He couldn't help stretching out his fist and punched the red-haired boy on the shoulder.

At one point the two teams tied 2:2.This is a score neither team wants to see.For Tottenham, the Premier League team is playing against the Championship team. It would be too shameful if they draw with one more player; Players will be exhausted, which may affect the overall situation of this season.

Everyone hopes to completely solve the opponent at the last moment of the game.

When Tottenham kicked off again, the game had entered stoppage time.Sure enough, as people expected, the fourth official played the number "8", indicating that there was an extra-long stoppage time of 8 minutes.

At this time, Lao Lei replaced striker Defoe and replaced it with a high center forward, which meant that Tottenham switched to using the traditional bottom pass to grab points and compete for the top, and would use all available free kicks.

Therefore, Tottenham's offense still relies heavily on Bell on the wing. As soon as he got the ball, Colbeck and Henderson both came up to intercept.Bell's fake action finally failed to shake Colbeck this time, and the ball was broken.Sunderland got the ball, and within 10 seconds, Tottenham stepped forward to steal it again-the midfielder fell into a tug-of-war, and both players were on the verge of exhaustion.Because Sunderland played one less player, their physical energy was exhausted faster. Henderson and several other starters were gritting their teeth.

Finally, in the 94th minute, Henderson got the ball and immediately turned to the middle. He was not advancing fast with the ball, and the players in charge of marking Tottenham hadn't gotten up yet.

Unexpectedly, at this time Eriksson inserted at high speed from behind Henderson. Henderson seemed to have eyes behind his back, and he thrust the ball to Eriksson as soon as he stretched out his foot.The Dane's speed had already been raised, he threw off the two Tottenham midfielders at once, and came to the front of the penalty area in an instant.

Eriksson played very selflessly, and at this time he knocked the ball to Vardy, who was in a better position than him.Shooting is almost instinctive for a striker. Vardy catches the ball and lifts his foot to shoot-the Tottenham goalkeeper has been concentrating on it. At this time, he dare not be careless. He hit the ball with both fists. ——

Tottenham players have basically returned to defense at this moment, and the penalty area is full of people.

Unexpectedly, the Tottenham defender's clearance did not go far, and the ball fell at Eriksson's feet again by accident.Eriksson stopped the ball, took aim, and then took a long shot.I don't know if it was because he held back for most of the time and never found a great opportunity. Eriksson used all his strength in this kick, which was very powerful.The football was like a cannonball, blasting out directly, drawing an impossible trajectory among the chaotic army.

Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez didn't see Eriksson's shot at all. When the ball came in front of him, it was too late to make a save.He just watched the ball go straight to the bottom of the net from his side.

The Stadium of Light seemed to be quiet for a moment, and then it was completely boiling - in the 95th minute of the game, Eriksson's long-range shot allowed them to overtake Tottenham!

Lore, this is a standard lore!In the last minute of this game.

Eriksson opened his arms at this time, accepting the cheers of the fans like a tsunami.At this time, the slogan "Happy Birthday, Eriksson" was once again played in the stands of the Stadium of Light, and the crazy colorful voices turned into rhythmic voices: "Christian, Christian!"

Christian Eriksen, who just turned 18 today, scored twice and scored twice. He is undoubtedly the hero of the Stadium of Light.

The Sunderland players were also excited and followed Eriksson together.They ran to Anton with Eriksson, saw Eriksson yelled: "Boss!" and then hugged Anton with open arms.

Seeing this, the players all rushed up, opened their arms and hugged Eriksson and Anton tightly, and Kaulbeck, who ran up from behind, just jumped high and threw himself on his teammates——

Anton's final tactical arrangement, the will he inspired by the short timeout, finally paid off at this time, and Sunderland's unremitting persistence paid off. They scored two goals in a row at the last moment of the game, overtaking the score .

Fortunately, fortunately, they didn't think about giving up, even if they were facing backwardness and facing the most unfavorable situation.

At this moment, all the team members shouted unrestrainedly, for the pride overflowing in their chests at this moment, and for the fourteen-character mantra taught by Anton just now. It is this simple fourteen-character mantra that finally broke the deadlock:

——Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the chaotic army is kicked.

At this time, the captain Garner was standing in the player tunnel. After witnessing the final go-ahead goal, he couldn't contain his excitement. He rushed out of the locker room and stood in the player tunnel.At this moment, the tears in Garner's eyes flowed uncontrollably. He straightened his chest and raised his head higher.

Only Anton, who was wrapped in the crowd by the Sunderland players, couldn't help protesting at this moment: "Okay, the referee hasn't blown the whistle yet... and Christian, you rushed up too hard, you threw me His glasses fell off!"
