Chapter 183 I covered the goal of the Chinese team!
Watching the football fly out of the bottom line, the Lotus Stadium podium burst into cheers. The CEOs and coaches of the Chinese Super League clubs who usually quarrel with each other are cheering for a young goalkeeper of the South China Tigers at this moment.
Lv Heng, general manager of South China Tigers, slapped the table in front of him, knocking over the mineral water bottles on it: "What a boy!"
In the past few days, as public opinion about Lin Zhiyuan's mistake in attacking and proactively giving gifts has continued to ferment, the South China Tigers Club has also been under tremendous pressure. Some extreme fans even went to the South China Tigers Club's official Weibo to leave messages, demanding that they and Lin Zhiyuan Zhiyuan terminates his work contract, or internally bans Lin Zhiyuan for one year...
In such a public opinion environment, the South China Tiger Club really has nothing to say and can only remain silent.
So he was also scolded badly.
As the general manager of this club, Lu Heng is naturally under a lot of pressure.
Now that Lin Zhiyuan completed his self-salvation with this penalty save, Lu Heng felt that the pressure on his body suddenly lightened, and he immediately vented all the accumulated emotions in his heart through this slap.
It's a pity that this is not a fantasy novel, otherwise Lu Heng's palm would probably shatter the table into pieces...
Zhao Kangming, who was not far away, did not stand up to cheer. Instead, he sat slumped in a chair, leaned back, and let out a deep breath.
Lin Zhiyuan’s save was not just himself, but also Wang Guangwei!
Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Zhao Kangming to imagine what kind of future Wang Guangwei will have in his subsequent career after being saddled with the status of "Chinese Football Sinner"...
※※ ※
In the stadium, the Chinese team players excitedly rushed into the penalty area and rushed towards Lin Zhiyuan, who was celebrating wantonly.
They passed by Sosa, who was stunned, and no one glanced at him.
Wang Guangwei hugged Lin Zhiyuan and showed his gratitude through this powerful hug.
He didn't say much. Between men, talking too much would be pretentious.
It's all in the wine... No, it's in my arms!
Other teammates also ran up one after another. They didn't get the chance to hug Lin Zhiyuan, so they raised their hands to high-five Lin Zhiyuan.
The last bit of care for Lin Zhiyuan that he had because of that mistake was all gone with this attack...
They screamed, cheered, and gave Lin Zhiyuan all kinds of compliments such as "I'm so fucking awesome."
Yao Huasheng was obviously very happy, but after high-fiving Lin Zhiyuan, he still reminded him seriously: "Steady!"
Lin Zhiyuan nodded: "Don't worry, Captain Yao!"
Sosa put his head in his hands and looked at the Chinese team players who were celebrating wildly.
They seemed to be celebrating a goal...
That’s right, the value of Lin Zhiyuan’s save is indeed equivalent to the Chinese team scoring a goal!
I was actually tricked by that kid...
Souza looked up to the sky and sighed.
He thought that the opponent wanted to provoke him and let him shoot towards the larger goal. Unexpectedly, the opponent had already arrived and he would not be fooled. He even used the lift to move there to induce him...
He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that he lost to this young man in this confrontation.
※※ ※
Arturo could clearly hear the shouts and cheers mingled with laughter from the Chinese fans in the stands behind him.
His eyes towards the goal of the Chinese team were a little dull.
It seems that the whole person has not yet recovered from the ups and downs of life.
A minute ago, he was preparing to cheer for the goal, feeling that the penalty was God's gift to Paraguayan football.
Now he feels as if God has abandoned him...
Behind him on the Paraguayan bench, all the substitute players held their heads in their hands, looking regretful and painful.
Hits in stark contrast to their jubilation after winning the penalty.
The atmosphere on the bench and coaching bench was incompatible with the joyful stadium. It was as if there was a dark cloud above the Paraguayan coaching bench and bench in a clear sky, with thunder and lightning and heavy rain pouring.
※※ ※
"Lin Zhiyuan's actions before taking the penalty kick worked! He really disturbed Sosa's psychology! It seemed that he was tempting Sosa to shoot the football towards the wider goal, but he rushed back.
Lin Zhiyuan made the right bet!"
Amidst huge cheers, He Feng raised his arms and shouted in the commentary box.
Wang Guangwei’s father almost collapsed on the sofa in front of the TV, pressing his hand on his heart to feel his violently beating heart.
The wife next to her wiped her tears and murmured: "That's great, that's great..."
Just because of Lin Zhiyuan's save, their son avoided the fate of being regarded as a criminal in Chinese football.
The couple don’t have to worry about someone poking their backs when they go out!
※※ ※
Although Paraguay got a corner kick, no one thought it was a good thing. All of them were thinking:
Damn it! We missed a must-goal opportunity!
Although no one complained about Sosa, the team's number one star, everyone was still more or less affected by the missed penalty kick deep down.
Even captain Arce did not stand up to encourage morale because he was genuinely surprised and dissatisfied that Sosa missed the penalty kick.
Surprised that Sosa was able to miss the penalty.
Dissatisfaction is that Sosa wasted a great opportunity!
After the corner kick was taken, it wasn't even Lin Zhiyuan's turn to "make his debut" again. The football was forcefully pushed out of the penalty area by Wang Guangwei, who had a "make up for it" mentality.
Paraguay did get a second chance to attack, but Ramirez's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was ridiculously high, even causing the Chinese fans in the stands to burst into laughter.
Especially in the stands behind the Chinese team’s goal, there were Chinese fans whistling and mocking him: “Jerk off!”
What followed was hearty laughter.
As a Chinese fan, I feel a rare sense of joy and pride!
※※ ※
Lin Zhiyuan's save of Sosa's penalty seemed to be a watershed in the game.
The Chinese team, which originally seemed to have a weak offensive, suddenly burst out with huge energy. In the following games, they continuously launched fierce attacks on the Paraguayan goal, and the quality of their attacks was very high.
So much so that the entire Paraguay team had to return to their own half and concentrate on defense.
For almost ten minutes, Paraguay only got the ball past the halfway line twice, and the rest of the time the ball was spinning around in their own half.
And it’s not just as simple as the football spinning around, the Chinese team also shot many times, threatening Paraguay’s goal!
Goalkeeper Almiron has become one of the busiest players in the Paraguay team during this period.
Hulay pinned Arce in the penalty area, and Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai took turns shooting long-range shots from outside the penalty area. For a moment, cannons rumbled on the Paraguay gate and the ground shook!
Hulai became a cannon for his teammates.
He does not need to think about how to get rid of Arce, he only needs to be able to withstand the impact of Arce behind him when he takes the ball with his back.
For Hulay, who is equipped with the [worn Bears jersey], he is barely competent because he does not need to wrestle with Arce for a long time, he only needs to withstand a moment.
After resisting Arce, he passed the football back to Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi or Luo Kai.
Let them shoot the ball.
Scorer Hu Laisheng was turned into a fulcrum center...
This really caught Paraguay off guard, because in their pre-match intelligence about Hulay, there was no introduction about Hulay being able to serve as a fulcrum center.
There is no need to study Hu Lai's playing style. Just look at his body and you will know that this kid cannot be a fulcrum center.
So Paraguay did not consider this situation at all when defending.
This has resulted in them being in a very awkward position.
The commentator on Paraguayan TV exclaimed repeatedly: "Be careful!"
"so close!!"
“Almiron! Nice save!”
"Hold on! Hold on! We are still one goal ahead in the total score, don't panic!"
Fortunately, the Chinese team's physical fitness has indeed declined significantly. After bombarding the Paraguay penalty area for more than ten minutes, it was difficult to continue. They took the initiative to retreat, slowed down the pace, and slowly adjusted. Paraguay was relieved.
Then Paraguay fans are fully expecting that it’s our turn to fight back, right?
Although Sosa missed a penalty kick, everyone still has confidence in him and believes that Sosa will always become the hero who saves Paraguayan football at critical moments.
And his task is not heavy, as long as he can score a goal.
In the remaining thirty minutes of the game, you only need to score one goal, so it’s not considered a “forcing one”, right?
But Lin Zhiyuan told all Paraguay fans with his superb performance:
I am covering the Chinese team’s goal today!
Whether you score a goal or not is up to me!
“Lin Zhiyuan is beautiful! He lifted the football over the crossbar with one hand!”
“Lin Zhiyuan! It’s Lin Zhiyuan again! Ramirez’s shot was caught in his arms and hit the target!”
…
Lin Zhiyuan was not only able to block the shots of Paraguayan players, including Sousa, but every time he blocked them, he would jump up from the ground, wave his fists wildly, and yell at the Paraguayan players who looked dull or annoyed.
Yelled.
This scene is really inspiring to watch.
Lin Zhiyuan vented all the emotions he had held back after giving him the big gift. How could the Chinese fans vent all the emotions they had held back during the dark years of Chinese football?
So every time Lin Zhiyuan waved his fist and roared, they would cheer the loudest in the stands to support Lin Zhiyuan.
After visiting a few times, I actually developed a tacit understanding with Lin Zhiyuan. Every time Lin Zhiyuan opened his mouth to roar, the momentum was created by nearly 80,000 Chinese fans.
He Feng, who saw this scene, was filled with emotion: "Of course young people will make mistakes, but whether they can learn from their mistakes and grow after they make them is the key to judging whether a young person is good or not. I am glad that Lin Zhiyuan is there."
Nirvana was reborn from this mistake.”
The staff of the Chinese national team were all cheering for Lin Zhiyuan in the stands. Among them, Hao De was sitting in his seat, calmly watching the figure in front of the Chinese team's goal.
Many years later, when this scene appeared in the documentary, the commentary said this: "...Hao De looked at the carefree young man in front of the door, and his heart was filled with relief and gratification. He chose the best successor for himself.
…”
But in fact, at this moment, Hao De felt more unwilling and bitter.
Because he realized that his time in the national team might be over.
The Terminator was the one he personally recommended to Shi Wuyuan.
