Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels
Chapter 17
At 7:45 p.m., the referee punctually sounded the second leg of the second round of the FA Cup at home to Brighton, FC United got the first kick-off, Vardy dialed the ball to Devon, Devin passed back to Corretel, and in an instant the front three ran to the back of Brighton, and Corretel passed to Sam. Hewson, Hewson directly passed to the right with a big foot, and Ruonatang took two steps to kick straight away, but unfortunately was judged by Al Aboud to be right and shoveled the ball off the touchline.
The pace of the game is unusually fast, the focus of both sides is on the attack, Brighton four midfielders and two forwards, FC United Although there is one less midfield, Pratt still focuses on the defensive back, but Jonatang alone covers the right corridor, Devon Yao in the front court back and forth to find space, so the number of people involved in the attack is not less than Brighton.
But the top of the League One is the top of the League One after all, and the entire back line perfectly prevented FC United's attack, and for a while FC United found Devon in addition to the straight ball. There was nothing to do outside Yao, Wolfenden was completely restricted on the left flank, and Vardy was again closely guarded. On the other hand, on the Brighton side, Glenn Murray and Fran Sandassa are 1.86m and 1.87m higher, which are higher than FC United's two defenders, and Neville can't prevent Elliot Bennett's invasion at all, and frequently breaks through the defense from the right side.
FC United's defence finally lost in the 25th minute, it was Elliot Bennett who broke through Neville's cross, Sandasa snatched the spot and shot left-footed in front of McManus, 0:1, 2-2 on aggregate.
FC United wanted to fight back after conceding the goal, Devon Yao finally managed to get a counter-offside opportunity, but the shot was saved by the goalkeeper, and in the 37th minute, Vardy took Mane's cross to complete the first shot of the game, but failed to make a difference under the interference of the defender, and was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper.
And Brighton's attack did not stop at all, Elliot Bennett was extremely active in this game, Pratt had to go to assist Neville's defense, so that the space in the middle was large, in the 45th minute, Kishshev split the ball in the middle, Glenn Murray received the ball in the box to wipe Tyrone's defense is a shot, was Ashton struggled to save the ball off the line, this is just a disaster, Elliot Bennett opened a corner kick to the back point, Calderon pressed the defensive header to score, Ashton whip long, Before the end of the first half, Brighton led 2-0, 2-3 on aggregate.
Just after the kick-off kick-off, the referee blew the whistle at half-time and all the FC United players walked off the pitch dejected, for the first time of the season that they were two goals behind at half-time. Lu Wei saw the state of the players in the locker room, took a deep breath, and said: "What's wrong with everyone, isn't it two goals behind, didn't we score two goals for them in the second half last time, this time we still do it, but in the second half we have to change tactics, it was my mistake to play against them in the first half, we were limited in the front court, Matthew and Devin, you two don't limit your position to the wing, the whole grass in front is yours, when you have the opportunity, you will rush forward, are you afraid of the defense of the League One?" Jimie, your only task is to score goals, no matter what method you use, find a way to get the ball in. Lee, I know you were tired in the first half, don't ask you to guard against that kid in the second half, you have to stick to him and don't let him pass the ball into our box so easily, remember the ball is over, but he fouled before he entered the box, got it? Guys, defending is not his business alone, the two goals conceded in the first half are responsible, what to do in the second half, to prevent them, you can't let them score anymore, all for me to run. In
the second half, Brighton slowed down the pace of attack and began a game of possession, Wolfendon and Devon Yao pressed each other's defenders in front, but the two-foot pass left the danger zone, FC United was only an amateur team after all, and was taken away by Brighton with a few passes, if not Pratt's defense was very solid, Brighton would have scored again.
Defending against Brighton's attack, FC United finally waited for the opportunity, and in the 62nd minute, Devin successfully broke through the defense into the box, dunked Pitt, and gave a fake pass to Vardy who was walking between the opposing defenders, Vardy raised his right foot to score in the upper left corner of the goal, 1:2 to recover a goal, and equalized the aggregate again.
Vardy did not celebrate after the goal, picked up the ball and ran to the center circle, immediately brought up the momentum, chased back a goal FC United continued to press, finally in the 66th minute, Hewson stole Brighton's transfer ball, a straight pass behind Brighton, Devon Yao started quickly, no one caught up with him, Devon Yao once again got a single chance, this time he did not shoot rashly, but chose to pass the goalkeeper, dribbled into the box and waited for goalkeeper Peter Brezovan to approach and go to the side, Devon Yao, who swept the ball over, felt a tightness on his feet before he could get excited, and was pulled to the ground by goalkeeper Brezovan, a penalty! The referee blew a penalty without hesitation, gave Brezovan a yellow card, his teammates stepped forward and pulled Devon Yao to him in appreciation, and Vardy came over and gave him a hug, "I will not waste this opportunity, trust me, brother." "Since Vardy came to the team, he has been the first penalty taker of Lu Wei's hand-picked point, picked up the ball and put it on the penalty spot, looked at Brezovan on the opposite side, took a deep breath, ran and hit the goal!
Goal!!! The crowd cheered as Jamie Vardy's penalty equalised the score and gave the aggregate 3-2 lead again.
At this time, Lu Wei made a difficulty, now the total score is ahead, there are more than 20 minutes left in the game, now is the defense or continue to attack, if the defense is still so long, there is a case it hangs, if the attack is out, I am afraid that there will be a hole in the defense and Brighton will seize the opportunity. After thinking for a moment, Lu Wei shouted at the players on the field: "Continue to attack, score another goal to kill the game." "
The manager of Brighton saw this scene next to him and was very angry, you are just playing in the seventh division, don't be so arrogant, we are going to be promoted to the Championship team, "You all give me a little focus, they are all amateur players, are you also amateur players? Do you deserve to be League One champions? If you feel that you can't do it, you will quickly give me down. "
After the re-kick-off, Lu Wei felt very anxious, is this what it feels like to be a manager, in the league because the opponents are amateur players do not feel pressure, but Brighton is just a League One team, the pressure is so strong, no wonder Ancelotti, Mourinho to middle age to white heads, the situation on the pitch is too complicated, a wrong step is likely to cause the team to lose.
Brighton's players are not down because they have conceded two goals in a row, and such a huge gap in grades does not affect Brighton's mood at all. This burst of wild attacks gave FC United no chance to fight back, Lu Wei had to replace Chadwick and Klukas to strengthen the defense and midfield running, intending to hold on to these 20 minutes, and the words just said to continue the attack were completely abandoned.
The more nervous the game gets, especially when the two sides are only one goal away, the backward want to hurry up to score to tie the score, the lead wants to keep the result, but this cannot happen at the same time, this game must have a winner, and today Lady Luck could not continue to stand on FC United's side.
By the 80th minute, the physical fitness of FC United players has gradually been unable to keep up with the rhythm of Brighton, and Brighton's side is playing more and more vigorously, completely putting FC United in the backfield, especially Elliot Bennett is the most active, FC United has to divide two people to cooperate in defense to limit him, but how long can it be prevented, in the 86th minute, Elliot Bennett passed the ball to his teammates and plunged straight into the FC United box, followed by Sandasa is a straight kick to break through the defense, Bennett volleyed from a small angle with his right foot, Ashton only blocked but could not block the ball into the goal, 3:2, 3-3 on aggregate, Brighton equalized the scoreline.
Lu Wei rushed to shoot the lawn on the side of the court, the defense can not continue to defend, the player's physical strength may not be enough to support the extra time and Brighton to continue to fight, can only gamble, to solve the battle in 90 minutes, call on the players on the field not care about conceding the goal, launch an attack.
And the other side of Brighton head coach Gustavo Boyer also thinks so, Brighton also wants to kill the game in 90 minutes, he saw that FC United's players are already at the end of the crossbow, completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of Brighton, and just conceded a goal, the momentum is completely better than Brighton who just equalized, and Lu Wei is still too young in the field of the manager, attacking and defending for a while in the second half, and failed to judge the rhythm of the game well, So this game doomed FC United.
Sure enough, both attacks by Devin and Vardy ended hastily, while Brighton finished the game before the end of the game, and in the 91st minute, substitute Chris Varney. Wood grabbed the header back, Matt. Spyro stopped the volley, 3:4, Brighton reversed the aggregate score, suddenly Giger Lane stadium was silent, it was difficult to accept the equalizer by the opponent before the end of the game, Lu Wei also collapsed in the coach's dugout, and all the FC United players also kept their heads down.
When the whistle blew the game, the young Tyrone, McManus and other players couldn't help crying, and the other players were sitting on the lawn, Lu Wei walked up to the field to pull them up one by one, comforting: "Well, it's just a game, the opponent is a strong team in League One, we have played very well, go apologize to the fans, this season has just begun, we still have a league championship waiting for you to get." "
When there was applause and singing from the audience at Gig Lane, the FC United players finally reacted, although it is a pity, but we have done well enough, and the fans are supporting us, and we must win the league title and complete the promotion this season.
