Fox in the Penalty Area

Clark and his colleagues on the coaching staff all stood on the sidelines. Not far from him were the substitute players of Leeds City. They also stood on the sidelines, looking anxiously at the pitch.

Although the hope is very slim, they still choose to stand with the whole team and fight side by side, even off the field.

The captain Lorenzo, who was replaced, stood out from all the players and shouted from time to time.

The captain, who was usually mild-tempered, was full of anxiety at this time.

Despite everyone's efforts, the clock ticked down relentlessly and Tramed still had the upper hand.

"I really don't want to say this, but I have to say that Leeds City may have no chance to comeback in the away game..." Matthew Cox put away his inner sympathy for Leeds City and said calmly. "Always be realistic. Leeds City have had a fantastic season... no, great! It's been one of the greatest seasons in their club's history. Not winning the title doesn't detract from their greatness ... I think many years later, when people mention the 2025-2026 Premier League season, they will think of them, and the glory this time does not belong to Stan Park Rangers alone..."

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!!" The Leeds City fans in front of the TV kept yelling, trying to stop Cox from continuing. It can change the current situation on the court.

But not everyone is so irrational.

John Falkingham silently looked at Levin who was yelling beside him, without saying a word.

It's just self-deception.

Just kidding yourself.

Football is so cruel...

Football is always so cruel...

John sat down.

David Miller noticed John sitting down, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, John? You gave up?"

He gestured around with his eyes, all the Leeds City fans watching the game in the "White Rose" bar, except for John Falkingham who just sat down, all stood and scored the second goal in Tramed At that time, they kicked over the chairs and stood and looked up to watch the game.

"I..." John wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't speak out because he couldn't explain. Deep down in his heart, he really felt that Leeds City had come to an end, and it was time to wake up after a season of sweet dreams.

"Get up! John, get up! The game is not over yet!" David Miller gritted his teeth and scolded.

His roar caught the attention of some fans around him, and they cast their gazes over and saw John who was sitting.

Under the eyes of everyone, John couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up with his hands on the table, and at the same time he didn't forget to make up: "I'm not...David, I didn't give up, I just got dizzy after standing for a long time..."

David Miller didn't care about such a lame reason he found, and turned his attention to the TV again.

At this moment, Matthew Cox, who was still reading lyric poems just now, suddenly exclaimed: "Be careful!"

Ricardo Balia dribbled the ball down the left flank and Kamara was right next to him.

Barea felt Kamara's physical impact on him, and he gritted his teeth in his heart: I am not the one I was at the beginning of the season, French boy!

Thinking of this, he stabbed the football with the toe of his right foot first, then immediately speeded up and cut across, directly blocking Kamara.

In order to avoid a foul, Kamara made an evasive action.

And this one just happened to be caught by Barea, and he dodged into the inside line!

He caught up with the football and rushed to the penalty area!

The midfielder Jose Vieira, who came off the bench, strode up to defend, but his movements were a bit slow in front of Barea... Even if he was closer to the football, Barea was still the one who hit the ball first !

Facing the big but slow-moving Vieira, Barea kicked the ball aside with the instep of his right foot first. The rushing Vieira couldn't stop and slammed into Barea directly.

The latter fell down neatly in the penalty area!

booed loudly,

The whistle sounded.

"Balia was pushed down! The referee pointed to the penalty spot...it was a penalty!! My God! It was a penalty! In the 92nd minute of the game, Tramed won A penalty!! This is a fatal penalty! This is a penalty that can almost kill the suspense of the league championship!! At such an important moment, Leeds City was sentenced to death!"

In the exclamation of Matthew Cox, some Leeds City players hugged their heads, some spread their hands to show doubts, and some rushed directly to the referee.

The fouled Vieira waved to the referee repeatedly with a mournful face, indicating that he was not a foul.

Wearing the captain's armband, Pete Williams ran to the referee with his hands behind his back, trying to keep his tone calm: "Sir... No! Sir, this is not a penalty! Baliata flopped!"

Farrek Quinn and Kamara rushed in front of Balia, clamped him one after the other, and angrily said: "Shameless, bastard boy! You are so shameless! Despicable and shameless!"

"This is not self-protection, you are diving!"

Amidst their curses, Balia, who got up from the ground, shrank his head and raised his hands, looking a little nervous and frightened...

Fortunately, Tramed's players rushed over to separate Quinn and Kamara.

Connor Kirk protected Barea behind him, and coldly snorted Quinn and Kamala: "Stand back, don't apply for a yellow card for yourself!"

After the initial astonishment, Tony Clark on the sidelines also became angry. He roared at the fourth official: "This shouldn't be a penalty!"

Not to mention the Leeds City fans in front of the TV, they have already scolded the eighteen generations of Barea and Tramed as shit.

It's no wonder that the whole city of Leeds is so excited, it's because Barea's fall is not so... convincing.

Vieira did open his arms when he hit Balia, but in the understanding of Leeds City, it is a player's normal open arms protection action when defending, which is very common in football games. common.

But Barea reacted too aggressively in front of this action, and fell to the ground directly clutching his neck.

If Vieira's action is changed to any place outside the penalty area, Barea will continue to fight Vieira indifferently.

But in the penalty area, Barea fell very simply and neatly.

So they thought Barea was diving.

But supporters of Tramed and Stan Park Rangers also had something to say:

When Vieira is defending in the penalty area, you put your arms up, and there is a push action, so why not call you a foul? An experienced defensive player knows that he must pay special attention to hand movements in the penalty area, and many people simply defend with their arms crossed.

You're better than Ella, open arms open, obviously pushing people. Our Balia's center of gravity is unstable during high-speed running. Is there any problem with being pushed down by you?

Besides, it's not that your family, Hu Lai, has never done this kind of thing before. With a little physical contact, he planted himself in the penalty area... Now why don't you say that Hu Lai was a flop back then? !

But let's not talk about whether Barea is a fake or not. The main reason is that the timing of the penalty kick is too sensitive, so it caused such a big reaction in Leeds City.

This penalty penalty is basically tantamount to a death sentence for Leeds City!

But there are also people who don’t see it that way. They think that even without this penalty, Leeds City have no hope of beating Tramed in the away game. Everyone can see that they have no energy left to fight back, and they can hold this draw. best result.

On the contrary, the referee's penalty just gave Leeds City the best excuse to lose the league championship. They can claim that they were persecuted by the giants at the Red Roof Stadium, so they lost the league championship. Anyway, losing the game or losing the championship is not their responsibility, but some off-court factors.

Conspiracy theories are popular in the world today, let alone what they preach, maybe many people really believe it...

The stalk of stoppage time at the Red Roof Stadium may be brushed up again.

The Stan Park Rangers players danced and celebrated in the locker room.

They don't care about the reputation of the league rival Tramed, they only know that they are getting closer to returning to the top of the league.

"God is on our side!" assistant coach Stephen Brown said happily to Brooks.

Brooks didn't follow suit, but he didn't warn him not to be too happy too soon.

Because he can't think of how Leeds City can come back. Even if Tramed didn't score this penalty kick, the game will be over. The score is 22. Leeds City drew with Tramed in the away game, and the points are behind Stan Park Rangers One point, back to second place.

The reason why he is not as complacent as the assistant coach is entirely because as a head coach, he still has to maintain his image in front of so many players...

He looked at the live broadcast on TV. No matter how the Leeds players protested and defended, they could not change the referee's decision. Even Farrek Quinn and Ismail Kamara received a yellow card for their aggressive words.

The players of Leeds City all exited the penalty area unwillingly, and some even couldn't help shedding tears... Apparently even the players of Leeds City themselves thought they were doomed!

Tramed captain Connor Kirk was standing in the penalty area holding a football, ready to take the penalty.

But he turned around suddenly, waving at the crowd, calling for people.

"Ricardo!" Connor Kirk called back the Portuguese teenager Ricardo Balia.

He hooked the young man's player and motioned him to come over.

Barea guessed what the captain was going to do, but he didn't refuse, but tried to suppress the excitement in his heart and ran up.

"You take this penalty kick."

Sure enough, when he ran over, Kirk stuffed the football into his arms, then turned around and left without giving Barea a chance to refuse.

Barea was still thinking about whether to pretend to decline, but the captain had already thought of it for himself and didn't give him a chance to act.

He bent over and stooped to place the football obediently.

At the same time as the football was placed in Barea, the Red Roof Stadium was full of hustle and bustle. The Tramed fans danced in the stands and sang songs to taunt the Leeds City players against their geographical enemies:

"You will get nothing in the end! You will get nothing in the end! You have nothing, you have nothing!!"

The Leeds City fans in front of the TV were already in extreme anger, and they were even more furious when they heard the singing of the Tramed fans.

Someone smashed a wine bottle, pointed at the TV and yelled, "Fuck! Lancashire bastard!"

Some people retorted: "The Tramed fans are embarrassed to sing this song? No matter how we have nothing, we are the runner-up in the league, and they? The fourth in the league! What is there to be proud of starting from the qualifying rounds next season?"

More Leeds City fans were upset that this was not their home court, and there was no way to fight back directly. They raised their middle fingers: "Wait for us at the Flanders Stadium next season, Manchester bastard!"

This quarrel continued until Barea set up the football and backed away to prepare for a run-up free throw.

The Leeds City fans in front of the TV watched the live broadcast nervously and nervously.

I don't know how many people have silently prayed to God in their hearts, praying that Tramed could not score this penalty. Although they also know that even if they fail to score, Leeds City may not have a chance, but they still don't want to see the football fly into Leeds City's goal. I also don't want to lose to regional enemies.

In order not to interfere with Barea's penalty kick, the Tramed fans who had been singing and dancing in the stands gradually quieted down at this time. But this silence is only temporary, as a storm of cheering goals and celebrating victory is brewing in the stands of the Red Roof Stadium...

Even He Feng and Yan Kang in the capital studio were silent at this time, but it was because they really didn't know what to say.

Starting from the penalty kick, they have said everything that should be said, criticized and criticized, questioned and questioned, but nothing can be changed.

They have anger in their hearts, but they can't vent it wantonly. After all, they are commentators, and they still have to maintain an objective and neutral face. They can't say casually like ordinary fans, so they can only hold back in their hearts and don't want to talk.

Xie Lan covered his face with his hands, not daring to watch TV. She was so excited just now that she almost smashed the TV, if her husband hadn't tried his best to stop her...

But now she has calmed down, and seems to have accepted her fate.

Hu Lixin, on the other hand, stretched out his arms to hold her shoulders uncomfortably. This was not a gentle comfort from her husband, but a preventive measure for fear of her violent relapse...

"Have you kicked yet?" Xie Lan, who covered her eyes and dared not watch, asked without hearing the movement on the live TV.

"Not yet..." Hu Lixin replied in a low voice.

Li Qingqing and Lilith stood side by side in front of the TV, staring at the screen with serious expressions. It was as if their team had been awarded a penalty kick.

Not only did he not dare to speak, he even deliberately controlled his breathing very lightly, for fear that if his breathing was a little louder, it would affect his goalkeeper's performance.

But they knew that it would not affect the stadium in far away Manchester.

At this time, the game time displayed in the upper left corner of the TV screen had reached 96 minutes and 25 seconds, and the four minutes of stoppage time had passed.

The referee should make up for the time lost before the penalty kick at the end... right?

Just when such a guess flashed through Li Qingqing's mind, she heard the whistle sound!

Barea stood behind the penalty spot, took deep breaths to adjust his emotions, and tried to slow down his heartbeat.

He will use this penalty to win against the French boy, he will use this penalty to stab the heart of the Leeds players the hardest, so that they will always remember that Ricardo Balia broke them with his own hands The man who wins the dream!

The whistle sounded.

Barea spit out the turbid air in his chest, ran up, and kicked the football!

Leeds City goalkeeper van der Ven fell to the left when he saw the football being kicked out, but he kept an eye out and didn't try his best to throw it out, because the intuition in his mind told him that the opponent might kick in the middle...

He guessed right!

The person had already fallen to the ground, but his feet dragged behind him, blocking the football rolling over the turf!

"Balia's run-up shot! Oh my God! Van der Ven!! He blocked this penalty from Barea!"

But the contest is not over yet!

When Barea saw the opponent's goalkeeper barely blocking the football with his foot, he rushed forward and prepared to make a follow-up shot!

After the football is blocked, it stops in place, as long as it is poked lightly...

He kicks the football with his foot.

At the same time, Van Deven, who was not completely down on the ground, turned over tenaciously and rushed back. Before he even had time to make a save, he could only hold his head high and choose to block with his body.

This was a completely subconscious action, but it hit the muzzle of the gun. Barea hastily stabbed and kicked the football to Van der Ven's chest!

The football bumped into it and bounced back, passing by Barea, who couldn't stop the car after the supplementary shot!

He looked back and saw the football, but he couldn't do anything about it, he couldn't even raise his leg to touch it.

"A follow-up shot! It was saved too! My God! It's incredible! Van Deven made an incredible save!!"

The football bounced to the feet of Leeds City player Vieira who rushed into the penalty area.

The defensive midfielder who gave the opponent a penalty kick for the foul kicked the football out of the penalty area with a big foot before he had time to think, making a clearance!

The ball flew straight to the right of the pitch where two Leeds City players and a Tramed player ran towards where the ball landed.

At this time, the TV broadcast followed the usual practice and cut the camera to the face of the goalkeeper van der Ven, and used a close-up to lock the goalkeeper of the Netherlands who sent a wonderful two consecutive flutters.

But it was cut immediately after a second. At this time, the TV audience saw the football again, and it was already at Kamara's feet!

He's dribbling the ball down the wing!

"This may be the most important thing in Van Deven's career..." He Feng hadn't finished his commentary yet, seeing this scene, he immediately put the most important save in Van Deven's career behind him and shouted: "The game is not over yet! Now it's Leeds City attacking!! Kamara is counterattacking with the ball!"

There were boos all over the Red Roof.

Connor Kirk pushed forward and wanted to foul Kamara. He only needed to interrupt Leeds City's offense with a foul, and the game would be over...

He slammed into Kamara hard, and the opponent was knocked back, but he didn't fall to the ground, let alone lose control of the football!

Seeing that Kamala was so tenacious, Kirk simply grabbed his shoulder and shoveled it down!

Kamara was finally pulled to the ground by him, but the football was passed out long before Kamara fell to the ground, and it was given to Charlie Potter who pulled the side to respond!

"Kamala pass! Beautiful! Charlie Potter! Potter!! Leeds counterattacked very fast! They have hit the 30-meter area of ​​Tramed's backcourt! Potter is making a cross...he didn't kick ! Feint! Rodgers came up to block... Porter dribbled the ball close to the baseline! Another cross!!"

Charlie Potter tried his best to pass the football to the goal in front of the baseline. This kick was very powerful. The football flew high above half of Tramed's penalty area and fell straight to the back of the goal!

There, there is Pete Williams rushing forward!

While running backwards, he watched the flying football, adjusted his pace... and jumped!

Trammed goalkeeper Tom Walker abandoned the goal, leaped high and jumped towards Williams. At the same time, he put his body into a "big" character in the air, trying his best to increase his defensive area.

A huge shadow almost enveloped Williams, completely blocking the angle of his header.

But Williams didn't want to shoot, he directly pushed the football towards the middle of the goal!

"Peter Williams header!! He swings the ball down the middle!!"

The Tramed players who hastily returned to the defense brushed past the football and failed to stop it!

The central defender Steco Wilson simply stood in front of the goal line and temporarily took over the job of goalkeeper Walker. He saw a figure approaching from the front, it was Hu Lai wearing the No. 14 jersey of Leeds City!

I saw him swinging his right leg in front of the football!

Draw a football!

After the goalkeeper Walker hit the ground, he turned around and rushed over, but failed to touch the ball!

"!!!"

With Cox's protracted roar, the football passed over goalkeeper Walker's fingers, brushed Wilson's shoulder on the goal line, and slammed into Tramed's goal!

"!!! Holly!!! Holly!!! After being restricted by Tramed for 96 minutes, he killed the Scarlet Witch in the Red House!!"

At this time, the game time on the TV screen jumped to 96 minutes and 57 seconds.

It took twenty-two seconds from the time Barea took the penalty kick to when Houlai kicked the football into Tramed's goal.

This is the last 22 seconds of this game, and it is also the 22 seconds that are enough to change the history of Premier League football!

, all the foreshadowing and restraint in the early stage are for the moment of lore, this is football!
