Joe. Schilling and captain Kevin. Cooper was standing inside the center circle with a soccer ball under his feet, and the man standing outside the center circle was Lee. Sidwell, he stood on the line of the center circle, and behind him was Chu Zhongtian. Bolger stands close to the touchline, at the intersection of the center line and the touchline, and as soon as this side kicks off, his side rushes towards the opposition half.

The referee was playing against the pitch and everything was ready, when he blew the whistle for the start of the game.

The Madfield Lane Stadium burst into loud cheers.

In the midst of this cheer, Joe. Schilling knocked the ball out lightly, and Kevin. Cooper turned the ball back to Sidwell, who was waiting outside the centre circle.

"Welcome to this FA Cup match! The two sides are second-division side Nordes County and ninth-tier team Wimbledon! The narrator also got to work. There was only one person on the commentary podium for the TV signal in this game, and there were no guests or partners. There were 40 games in the first round of the FA Cup, and if there was a commentator and guest for each game, there would have been a shortage of manpower. Some events don't even have commentary, and the signal is recorded directly. Because of the possibility of an upset, the BBC television station in charge of broadcasting the game took special care of it and sent a special commentator -- a trial one.

The trial commentator began the game with a gushing about the recent situation in their county of Notts and how financially strapped they were. He didn't take Wimbledon to heart at all, and he thought to himself that he would just mention Wimbledon by name when he had finished introducing Nodsshire. As for the list of appearances? There is no need to read it...... Sidwell adjusted the ball twice at his feet, watched the Notts players rush past Cooper and Schilling towards him, and then passed the ball back to Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian did not adjust, but directly turned around and passed back to the central defender Sim behind him. Johnston.

It's a strategy they've discussed, and after kick-off, they keep passing back and bringing out all the Notts players, so that they can defend themselves at the back and maybe have space to take advantage of.

Just as the Forest players were passing the ball back in layers, Gavin . Bolger had already run into the opposition half, but instead of rushing to the bottom line at high speed, he wandered around the opposition midfield and watched the movement of the opposition backline.

By this time, the forwards and defenders of Nods County had almost rushed to Wimbledon's defensive third zone, and the Norts defenders were gradually leaving their own defensive third zone, which is the 30-meter area.

It can be seen from this that they do not take Wimbledon as an opponent to heart at all. In their opinion, as long as they scored three goals in a row against Wimbledon within ten minutes of the game, the game was over.

What is that centre-back going to do? He seems to be a little sluggish, and his ball control skills are not very good, and he can attack directly by stealing the ball from his feet!

The Notts players thought so, and then two forwards rushed forward and backward at the same time, one left and one right. Johnston.

Johnston didn't turn around and pass the ball to the goalkeeper again, but passed the ball from the middle of the two Notts County players to Chu Zhongtian in front of him.

Borger saw that the Nods County defenders were almost in the middle circle, and in order to match them, Joe Brown. Schilling and Kevin. Cooper, and Andy on the other side. Sullivan didn't rush forward, but hovered in the midfield. Sullivan even came back to take part in the response.

No one is completely offside, only Kevin. Cooper hovered in greater danger, sometimes leaning out halfway and sometimes retracting.

This is his chance!

Bolger looked back at the backcourt, and he saw that Chu Zhongtian had just received a pass from Johnston.

Do you want to run at this time?

Borger thought to himself.

If he ran over, Chu Zhongtian didn't mean to pass the ball, he was offside, and the opponent's backline would definitely notice this run, and he would be vigilant next time, and he wouldn't have such a good chance. If he didn't run, Chu Zhongtian passed the ball out, he didn't remember that this offensive opportunity was wasted, and then the ball was handed over to the opponent's feet, and the whole team contracted to defend, and he didn't know how long to defend this defense.

Borger agreed to let Chu Zhongtian pass the ball because he and Chu Zhongtian had a tacit understanding to some extent. The tacit understanding between them is not the kind of tacit understanding on the spiritual level. But because he and Chu Zhongtian have been practicing long passes together for three months, they are already very familiar with Chu Zhongtian's habitual movements before passing. By observing Chu Zhongtian's small movements and posture before passing, he can often guess when he will pass the ball, where and how he will pass.

Thinking of this, Borjie raised his head and stared at Chu Zhongtian, and he saw that Chu Zhongtian also raised his head at the same time, pointing his right foot outward.

It's a pre-pass move!

Borger no longer hesitated, turned his head and rushed towards the space behind the Nords central defender!

Just as he retracted his gaze and started, Chu Zhongtian also picked up his right foot and slashed the football from the inside out. This is a long pass of more than forty yards, and the technique Chu Zhongtian uses is to run the ball vigorously with the instep of the foot at a small angle, such a ball will not rise suddenly, and it will be a little difficult to get past the enemy ten to twelve yards in front of him, but fortunately, there is only one Notts County player by Chu Zhongtian's side, and he still interferes behind him and does not block in front of him. There wasn't a single Notts County player in the distance of ten to twelve yards in front of Chu Zhongtian, so there was no need to worry that the football would be blocked before it could even finish lifting. And this kind of long pass can ensure the suddenness of the pass, and catch the opposing defender off guard. As long as the pass is accurate and the force is right, the ball can penetrate the opponent's backline.

In fact, before the ball, Chu Zhongtian didn't know if he was in shape, because while he was passing, there was a Notts player next to him to interfere with him. He didn't have time to make any adjustments, so he could only kick it out with the feeling of his body.

Unexpectedly, when the football is kicked, he feels quite good, just like an experienced basketball pitcher can immediately know whether the ball is there after shooting, and after he kicks the ball, there is such a thought in his heart - this ball is there!

The ball flew over the heads of the Notz County defenders and crashed into the empty space. And when the Notts players looked back in some surprise, they saw that a blue-yellow back had been inserted into their hinterland, and there was not a single Notts player around!

Someone habitually raised his hand to signal that the opponent's No. 17 was offside.

The referee ignored it, because the linesman did not raise the flag, but followed the football towards the baseline.

Seeing this, the trial commentator hurriedly stopped his tirade about the financial situation of Nods County and exclaimed: "This ball is not offside? ”

Yes, not offside!

"The person who passed the ball is ......" The trial commentator was about to sign up, but found that he didn't know who the other party was, and he rummaged through the messy pile of papers on the table, and the result became more and more chaotic. By the time he looked up again with nothing, the football had almost been picked up by Borger.

“…… Yes, it's a Wimbledon midfielder! ”

Fortunately, the game was not broadcast nationally, otherwise the audience would have yelled: "Nonsense! ”

※※※ The soccer ball is in the air and has almost no spin of its own, and the ball does not slow down due to rotation after landing, but continues to rush forward with that force, so if the receiver runs a little slower, he may not be able to catch up with the ball.

This kind of ball is quite demanding in terms of passing and receiving. The passer starts with a centimeter short, and the person who catches the ball at the end may have to run up to 10 meters to get the ball back.

Bolger looked up at the ball above his head, and he predicted that the ball would hit the ground about five metres in front of him, close to the opposition penalty area. It's a risky opportunity - as long as he can stop the ball and make the next few moves, he can burst into the box and face the goalkeeper with a single shot! But if he can't stop the ball well, as soon as the opponent's defender returns to defense and the goalkeeper strikes again, he doesn't have a good chance. Even if he could keep the ball down, he lost his best chance to hit the goal. Hold the ball down and wait for your teammates to come up and pick it up? So what are we bothering to do? It's going to be a direct threat to the Notts County goal!

Bolger slew up his speed and stabilized his body again, so he had more confidence on the ball. Then he stretched out his right leg, which was the one with the best technique and ball sense he had.

The moment the falling ball hit the instep of his foot, Borger lowered his foot slightly down, leaving a cushion space for the ball. Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian's ball itself did not have much spin, or almost no spin, and the football fell on the instep of his foot, and it was easily caught by Borjie.

Next, I tilted my toes, clamped the football with my ankles, and stopped steadily!

A good start was half the battle, as Bolger, who had stopped the ball steadily, was so confident that he couldn't stop it even if there were thousands of troops in front of him, he knocked the ball out and accelerated past the Notz County defender who had just run back from behind to reach for his shirt.

※※※ In order to avoid making similar mistakes again, during the period before Bolger received the ball, the trial commentator had been rummaging through the list of Wimbledon players, and finally let him find out, he didn't look at who the person who passed the ball just now, and directly looked for this person on the list according to the back number shown by the close-up on the small TV screen next to him.

"Gavin. Borger! He exclaimed. He's going to catch the ball...... Pretty! Clean stop! Can you imagine him being an amateur player? With this kind of difficult long pass, he actually stopped better than some professional players! ”

He accelerated and broke through to the box...... He's in! The trial narrator was excited. Could it be that a goal is coming out less than a minute after the game kicks off?

A team in the ninth division of the amateur league leads the professional team of the second division in the opening thirty seconds? This is sensational news!

※※※ "Beautiful stop ball! Pretty! Ingrid jumped up from his seat, his fists waving and roaring, and he had almost rushed to the edge of the court. With less than 30 seconds to go, Wimbledon got such a good opportunity to attack, can he not be excited?

"Hey, you're in my way, damn it......" Eames also got up from his seat and went to the sidelines to watch nervously as Bolger rushed to the box with the ball.

As for the teammates on the bench, they had already rushed to the sidelines, clenched their fists, held their breath, and were ready to cheer for the team's goal.

In the stands, the Wimbledon fans forgot to cheer in the face of this sudden opportunity, and one by one opened their mouths wide and looked into the stadium in surprise. At the same time, a thought came to everyone's mind - will we go first?

The idea is so crazy that the more crazy it gets, the more irrepressible it becomes, and everyone is excitedly looking forward to ...... "Shot!!" "Joe. Schilling shouted as he ran wildly in front of the opposition goal, allowing Borger to score with a direct shot.

"Hanging shot!" This is Kevin. Cooper's voice, because he saw that the opposing goalkeeper had abandoned the goal, if the ball was replaced by him, then he must not hesitate to choose to shoot. He believes his footwork can perfectly control the ball over the goalkeeper's head and into the empty net.

"Get past him!!" More people shouted like this, past the goalkeeper and then pushed the empty goal, which is obviously more powerful than a direct shot.

Chu Zhongtian also wanted to shout something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't make any sound. He just clenched his fists and glared at Borger's back through gritted teeth, watching him and the goalkeeper get closer and closer...... there were countless people chanting behind him, but Borger couldn't hear clearly, and he didn't have the heart to listen now.

Shot?

It wasn't that he didn't think about it, but when he was about to shoot with his feet, he suddenly hesitated because his shot wasn't too good. Then he realized that he had made the last mistake he should have made - he must not hesitate at such a time, but must be resolute and resolute, no matter what he chooses to do.

If you shoot again, it's not a good thing.

Borger threw all the nonsense out of his mind, leaving only one thought - super! Pass him and shoot empty!

Bolger glanced up at the attacking goalkeeper, one hand dancing behind him, not touching anyone, he knew that the pursuers had not yet arrived.

The Notts County goalkeeper had already slanted towards him, his centre of gravity dropping, and he was about to fall to the ground. Falling to the ground is a double-edged sword for the goalkeeper, on the one hand, it can increase the width of the defense, and then use the length of the arm to catch the ball directly from the feet of the opposing player. On the other hand, the goalkeeper falls to the ground means that he has completely abandoned the center of gravity, and if the opponent uses technique or speed to get out of his control at this time, then the goalkeeper who falls to the ground is tragic, and can only watch the opposing player face the empty goal...... Therefore, the ball must be "steady and ruthless", the mentality must be stable, and you can't hesitate; The hand must be accurate, otherwise if you don't pounce on someone's leg, it will be a penalty; To be ruthless is to have a momentum that can make the opponent feel scared in front of him, and it is better to let the opponent take the initiative to give up control of the ball.

The Nods County goalkeeper had fallen to the ground and slid towards Borger. Just as his hands were about to touch the football, Bolger's right foot slammed the ball diagonally forward!

Gone!

The ball is gone!

The goalkeeper's hand pulled to Borger's foot...... Borger only felt a trip under his feet, and he almost lost his center of gravity. At this time, he has already entered the penalty area, as long as he goes down, it must be a penalty. But the thought in Bolger's head was:

It was Wimbledon's first goal in the FA Cup! I'll have to score it myself!

When he was about to fall, he held the ground with both hands, and then struggled to get up, almost catching up with the football with his hands and feet. By this time, the Norts defender had returned to goal, ready to block his shot.

"It's a penalty!" The trial commentator screamed when he saw the goalkeeper holding Borger's foot. But until he finished shouting this sentence, Borger did not fall, but "crawled" towards the football in some embarrassment...... Then he slowly straightened up and adjusted his posture to shoot!

"Oh!" The commentator couldn't help but give a cheer to this tenacious amateur player.

※※※ Borger didn't care that there were a few Notts County players standing in front of the goal, he didn't even look up to observe, and after adjusting his center of gravity, he shot directly with his feet!

It wasn't until Bolger burst into the box to face the goalkeeper that the Wimbledon fans cheered, sporadic at first, and when they saw Bolger shaking past the goalkeeper, their emotions were all in high spirits and there was a huge cheer in unison. There were only 1,000 Wimbledon fans who came to watch the game, but the sound of the stadium covered the Madfield Lane at this moment.

They started up: "gooo-"

The Notts County player who had returned to goal watched as the ball rolled to the far corner and he blocked it. At that moment, he really felt the urge to play with his hands...... But then a penalty and a red card would definitely not run, so that ridiculous thought only flashed through his mind and then disappeared.

All he could do was watch the ball roll towards the far post, and then pray to God that it would bounce off the post, or just roll off the line...... God heard his prayer, but alas, only the first half of the first sentence was heard...... The ball did hit the post, but it didn't pop out, it bounced in! It skimmed over the goal line a palm's width!

“――oooooooal！！！”

Wimbledon fans jumped up from their seats, raised their arms and shouted in unison at the highest volume they could.

※※※ "It's incredible! It's incredible!! He was stunned for a few seconds before the trial commentator roared hysterically.

His mind went blank, and he couldn't say anything more than repeat the phrase "it's incredible."

On the contrary, the amateur Boss John behaved better than his professional narrator. He tried his best to hold the DV camera to avoid shaking the lens because he was too excited, resulting in unclear images and affecting the quality of the shooting.

"We scored! It's great! It's so exciting! I knew they could do it! It's Chu's pass, the assist! His direct assist!! Emily, do you see that? What a great start! We were ahead of that damn Nods away from home, ahahaha!! ”

The sixty-year-old boss burst into tears of laughter.
