Chapter 58: Eleven seconds, the fastest goal in League One history!
With the arrival of the referee, the players from both sides stopped the confrontation and followed the four referees to the court.
Walking out of the players' tunnel, there was no overwhelming cheers, only applause. And these applause were not from Oldham fans, but from Wolves fans in orange shirts!
The stadium can only accommodate more than 13,000 fans, and at this time there are about 9,000 fans seated. Most of the home fans are still looking for their seats. There are a lot of people, so of course you have to find a seat.
They didn't expect there to be so many people today, even when the team had the best results and was in fourth place, there weren't so many people in this stadium.
Oldham fans looked at the big orange and their hearts tightened because they were at a numerical disadvantage. Could it be that Wolves fans want to make this their home stadium?
According to statistics after the game, the number of Wolves fans at the scene reached nearly 6,000!
A week ago, Wolves' home stadium, Molinox, had just over 2,000 men, what a contrast. The Wolves players looked at the big orange and their morale was even higher!
The fans didn't give up on us, they rushed here from hundreds of kilometers away!
Their family is not wealthy, but here they are!
In the crucial game of relegation, here they are!
Craddock's eyes were moist, and the scene reminded him of the 03-04 season, when Wolves played in the Premier League. Back in the English top flight, Wolves fans have the chance to cheer on their team in the Premier League.
Wang Rui's feelings are not as deep as those of other veterans, and his attention is focused on the upcoming game. Suddenly he looked up because someone was shouting his name.
Tom shouted at Wang Rui, "King! King! King! ”
Wang Rui found Tom from the crowd and looked at the young man who waved to him, he smiled politely and waved back. Tom excitedly said to his companion, "He saw me!" He saw me! ”
If you have to say that Wolves have stars, then when the old Ince was a player, it was one, and the Irishman Elo Bryant was half of it. Wang Rui is not a Wolves star, he is a rookie, and he is a newcomer, so it stands to reason that Tom shouldn't be so excited.
However, because Wang Rui is Wang Ting's elder brother, because of his amazing performance in the last game, Tom thinks he is the star in his mind.
At this moment, a pair of wonderful eyes found Wang Rui through the crowd, and a blush flew across Lytis's face.
Uncle Mu Lin's eyes widened, looked at Wang Rui carefully, and then his face showed satisfaction and pride. The old man looked at the satisfaction and pride on Uncle Mullin's face, followed his gaze to the court, and instantly understood.
"That boy is the 'amazing boy!' you said you said!"
Uncle Mullin retracted his gaze and said to the old man with a smile: "It's him, he came on as a substitute in the last game, scored twice, and killed the opponent." Today he finally started! ”
The old man thought for a while and said, "I just don't know if he can perform perfectly today like the last game." ”
Uncle Mullin was like a cat with his tail stepped on, and like the famous painting in his own home, suspected of being a fake, he said angrily to his old buddy: "He can, he's a talent, he once won England's Under-14 Player of the Year, he was the best player in the Manchester United Academy." ”
The old man obviously didn't expect Uncle Mullin to have such a big reaction, and said with a smile: "Okay! Good! I'm sure he'll do the best. ”
Uncle Mullin let his old buddy go.
……
The reporters on the sidelines were talking, and the main topic was who could be relegated and who could be promoted. At the end of the season, this is the most intriguing.
"Brent have been relegated and they are eight points clear of fifth-from-bottom Leyton Orient. The second relegation should be Wolves, as long as Leyton Orient win today, even if Wolves win today, the difference between them is still six points. Two games, six points, it's impossible to catch up. ”
"What about catching up, Wolves have a goal difference of seven with Leyton East, it's impossible to catch up."
"After four years of relegation to three levels, Wolves have really set a record in the history of English football."
Wolves were the second target of relegation in the eyes of journalists, and they quickly turned their attention to the promoted teams, which were more interesting than relegation.
……
At three o'clock, with the referee's whistle, the game began!
The Oldham striker sent the ball back to the backfield, and Peter and other frontcourt players pounced like a pack of hungry tigers. Wolves, meanwhile, pressed forward in formation.
Is this a fight for the dead?
The reporter on the sidelines looked at this scene and asked.
Ince is indeed fighting for their lives, and if the wolves don't fight, the god of fate will be on their side?
So he adjusted the tactics of Wolves, allowing the midfielders to carry out crazy containment in the front, hoping to snatch the football and launch a counterattack on the spot.
In order to close the distance between the three lines, he asked the whole formation to press forward.
There's a lot of risk, there's too much depth behind the defenders, and as long as the opponent can kick the ball behind the defenders, and then a fast striker, the Wolves goal will be dangerous.
No tactic is perfect, Ince has no better way now, and Wolves can't afford to wait to get around their opponents in a stable way.
The Oldham defenders clearly didn't expect Wolves to be so frantic at the start of the game. Peter and Kevin Foley pounced viciously at the ball carrier, and Wang Rui ambushed on the other side of their stay, as he judged it to be the only passing route for the opposing side.
In an instant, Wang Rui's eyes were as bright as a shining star in the night sky, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the football, and he began to start like lightning!
His judgment was correct, and the football came out of that route!
Three steps!
Wang Rui's right foot touched the football, and instead of seeking to control the football under his feet, he stepped forward directly. Perhaps too excited, Wang Rui's distance from the ball was a bit large, which provided the opposing central defender with the opportunity to tackle the ball.
However, the Oldham central defender, who was closest to the football, did not tackle the ball, and Wang Rui got the football two steps later!
The next moment, he killed the opponent's penalty area!
It was only at this point that Oldham's defenders reacted, and they chased after Wang Rui. Peter looked at his friend, clenched his fists, and shouted, "Quick! Fast! Fast! ”
Ince, who was standing in the command area, looked at Wang Rui with dead eyes, his fists clenched very tightly, and his knuckles turned white. In the stands, Uncle Mullin held his breath, and Lytis had bright eyes......
A lightning tackle, which the Oldham players did not expect, did not expect until Wang Rui entered the penalty area, and the goalkeeper began to move forward in a panic. At this moment, Wang Rui has a lot of space to shoot, and he won't wait for the opponent's goalkeeper to save, it's too stupid to do that.
Wang Rui quickly swung his right leg and shot angrily!
"Smack! ......" made a crisp sound, and the football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal like an arrow off the string!
The Oldham goalkeeper instinctively pounced on his right!
Ince's eyebrows began to rise, his fist slowly raised, Uncle Mullin stood up suddenly, and Lydis's eyes became brighter and more moving!
The next moment, the ball crosses the goal line and burrows into the net!
And at this moment, the body of the goalkeeper of Oldham is still flying helplessly in the air.
The ball is in!
Wolves lead 1-0!
Wang Rui, who scored the goal, pointed to the sky, if Wang Ting was at the scene, he must know what his brother's action meant-Dad, did you see it?
Peter howled and came and went, then Kevin Foley, Tony Deening......
Ince shook his fist and raised his head to let out a long roar......
Uncle Mullin whistled excitedly, and his whistle was full of pride......
Lytis laughed, she didn't know much about football, and then muttered, "So it's so easy to score goals." ”
Peter's howl, Ince's howl, Uncle Mullin's whistle drew eyes to the pitch. Because until then, they are either still looking for their seats, or they are discussing with each other where their teams are currently in the standings, and whether there is any hope of promotion and relegation.
When they looked at the pitch, they saw the Wolves players gathered around, shouting excitedly.
Did you score?
After being stunned, they turned their attention to Oldham's goal, and the ball lay in the net.
Tom beat his chest and scolded his companion loudly: "It's just that you just said that Wolves have no chance of relegation, you see, I don't know how this goal was scored......"
As if he didn't hear his reproach, his companion asked, "Who scored this goal?" ”
Tom said angrily, "How do I know?" ”
Uncle Mullin sat down and said to the equally excited old man beside him: "You were still doubting him just now, look at it, I said he can do it, he scored a goal at the beginning!" ”
The old man nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Your vision is so ......"
……
The reporters stopped their discussion and looked at the pitch in amazement, sensitive to the newsworthiness of the ball, and one asked, "How many seconds?" ”
Who would have thought that Wolves would score as soon as they opened, and who would look at the time?
They understood that this could only be determined by watching the replay on TV, and they did not expect anyone to answer the question, and a few reporters immediately moved up to the camera reporters on the sidelines to find out how many seconds the ball had taken.
"Eleven seconds!"
A voice said.
The reporters didn't expect that there were really people paying attention to the time, and they were happy, their eyebrows raised, and their eyes brightened a little.
"Eleven seconds? It should be the fastest goal of the season! ”
Someone said.
"No, it's England's fastest goal in history!"
Someone corrected.
Then someone settled on the most accurate definition: "This is the fastest goal in the history of League One!" ”
