Chapter 24

______________________________________________

The time came to eleven o'clock.

On the football field, the players on both sides have finished picking sides and have established their positions.

The referee of this game stood near the center circle, glanced at the watch he was wearing, and put the whistle in his mouth.

beep! !

A long whistle sounded and the Bradford City striker, who had the ball in the first half, passed the ball to his teammate in midfield. .

"oppression!"

On the sidelines, James waved his hand, signaling the players to come forward as soon as possible.

In an instant, the players of the James team in orange on the football field took a tidy pace and moved towards the opponent's half-court pressure.

The Bradford City players also seemed to have understood Blackpoool's tactics. They did not hesitate much in the backcourt, and directly drove the ball with a big foot to the high forward in the frontcourt.

This is their simple response!

"I come!!"

The center defender Vidic, who was standing in the backcourt of Blackpool, rushed forward immediately and jumped high to put the ball at the feet of midfielder Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho took the football and turned around, taking a look at the situation on the field, followed by a low-level shot, which swept the ball to the feet of the right midfielder Beach.

Beach dribbled the ball forward quickly, and the two Bradford City players immediately pressed over and double-teamed Beach!

boom!

Beach did not dare to support the big team under the double team of the two, and quickly returned the ball to the right midfielder who came up to meet.

The right midfielder took a few steps forward after catching the ball, and made a high pass towards the middle from the neutral position on the right!

It's a pity that the ball didn't land well enough, and Ibrahimovic, who was in the center position, didn't reach it.

The ball was again at the feet of the Bradford City players.

They quickly passed the ball towards the frontcourt, ready to launch a fast break!

This fast break was finally destroyed by Blackpool's on-site counter-robbing players and went out of the sideline, and the ball was still owned by Bradford City.

On the coaching bench beside him, James pinched his chin.

From the beginning, you can feel that the rhythm of today's game is much faster than that of the league game!

The transition between teams has become extremely fast.

But other than that, it's mostly nothing else.

During the opening period, when Bradford City's three-axle axe was finished and fell into the defensive position, Blackpool could easily knock on the door of Bradford City.

Soon, the game came to the seventh minute.

Blackpool full-back Beech inserted behind the opposing defender, and Ronaldinho immediately sent a penetrating through ball.

Beach did not stop the ball and swept the ball directly to the neutral position of the inverted triangle.

Blackpool, who followed, rounded his thighs in the left midfield, and pushed the arch of his foot towards the football!

boom! !

A heavy muffled sound rang out, and the goalkeeper of Bradford City suddenly turned pale and rushed to his right to save him.

It is a pity that the left midfielder of Blackpool is too chasing the angle, and the football just rubs the goal post and goes out of the bottom line.

gateball.

"what..."

There was a burst of regret from the Blackpool fans in the stadium.

But that's all, there is no too much blame on the players.

From the heart, they are very satisfied with the team's performance today.

Facing the teams in the Championship, they did not lose the slightest at all, and they even created such a good opportunity just now!

"Philip, it's time to practice shooting."

James on the sidelines also laughed and shouted, in a joking tone.

He is also very relaxed, it's okay to waste a chance, every player will make mistakes, and it will be good to play back later.

And heard the voice of James.

Philip, who was still very annoyed and guilty just now, stabilized his heart and gave James a smile.

He used to be in the League One team and didn't have many chances to play.

If there is an opportunity like this just now, and he misses the kick, the coaches on the sidelines and teammates on the court will usually yell at him angrily and directly.

Because this opportunity is really rare...

It may also not appear a few times per game.

But now, in the Blackpool family.

Because the overall strength of the team is too strong, under the linkage, everyone in the game will get a variety of opportunities!

It doesn't seem like a big deal to waste it once, and the players and coaches don't have any opinion on him at all!

So this makes Philip, who feels the contrast, feel a happy feeling from the bottom of his heart, and wants to stay in this kind of team to play football!

At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind that he must strengthen his running later, create more opportunities for the team, and try to make up for it!

boom!

Before long, the goalkeeper of Bradford City took the goal kick, and Bigfoot passed the ball forward.

Blackpool backfield.

Vidic, whose height and strength are superior to the opponent's striker, once again stood up, jumped high to defuse the threat of the high-altitude ball for Blackpool, and headed the ball to Philip, who had run back to the midfield.

Philip stopped the ball, turned around quickly, and watched the situation on the field with his brain running fast.

He's serious now, desperate to give Blackpool a good chance.

Under his concentrated insight, he immediately saw Ibrahimovic who was ready to sprint towards the opponent's penalty area.

boom!

Without a trace of delay, Philip made a long pass towards the front of the Bradford City penalty area!

The ball landed right next to Ibrahimovic and caught the bradford City players by surprise.

When the defender of Bradford City stepped up and chased back desperately, Ibrahimovic had already faced the flying football and came with a dashing volley!

boom! !

A powerful kick made another muffled sound! !

The football flashed quickly in the air, dragging the white afterimage to the upper right corner of the Bradford City goal!

The Bradford City goalkeeper immediately tried his best to fly towards his left side, stretching his body to the extreme!

But because the ball was so fast, his fingertips still didn't touch the football!

Reed! ! !

In the next second, the football hit the net and spun rapidly on the net, swaying the remaining power!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!!"

The fans of Blackpool Town Stadium also immediately fell into a carnival. All the fans stood up and shouted!

Some excited people also threw or threw the popcorn and beer in their hands towards the field!

This is a League 1 team!

The first to lead is their for Blackpool! !

"Ibra! Ibra! Ibra!!"

Immediately afterwards, the audience shouted in unison for their team's top scorer this season!

Ibrahimovic!

Ibrahimovic was shrouded in the gaze of the fans, without too much excitement to celebrate, but slowly raised his arms and raised his head.

Near Blackpool midfield.

Philip, who had just delivered an assist, jumped up excitedly and waved his arm, "Yeah!"

This feeling of redemption and contribution to the team.

So cool!
