I Just Can Score

St James' Park,

Newcastle United's home game against Blackburn has gone to the 87th minute, and the score shown on the scoreboard is 1-1.

Both sides scored a goal each.

In terms of a normal game, when the time comes to the end, it will definitely become the most intense, because every team hopes to win, and Newcastle United is naturally like this. As a team competing for the league championship, every point is extremely important. In the game against Blackburn, we must strive for three points.

Newcastle United are also constantly launching offensives, wave after wave of offensive waves, which were previously overwhelmed by Blackburn's dense defense.

Blackburn's defensive staff is also too dense, and there are players everywhere inside and outside the penalty area.

The crowd tactic is the best defensive tactic. Under such a dense defense, it is very difficult to cooperate when the football is passed to the position near the penalty area. The players on the field try their best to attack, but it is still difficult to find opportunities for a long time.

This stalemate also allowed the fans and media outside the stadium to have a certain judgment on the game.

Although the game is not over yet, with the remaining time including stoppage time, it is too difficult for Newcastle United to score in less than five minutes.

Blackburn?

Even their strikers are within half the court, and they don't even consider offense at all.

certainly.

For Blackburn, it is absolutely acceptable to score a point at St. James' Park, because even Manchester United was bloodbathed by Newcastle United in this stadium, so what is Blackburn?

The reporters in the media seats all started to summarize the game--

"The game is 1 to 1. It is too difficult for Newcastle to score goals."

"Yeah, facing this kind of defense, no one can do anything. It's funny when you think about it. In the last match between Manchester United and Newcastle, if they were more conservative, maybe the result would be completely different."

"Zhen Shaolong scored six goals!"

"Zhen Shaolong's performance in this game was also good. He was marked by Blackburn and still scored a goal, but there is still a gap from the last game. The last game was really possessed by God!"

Media reporters remembered the last game,

They all talked about it with relish. Compared with the game in front of them, the last game was really the focus of attention.

The game in front of me is almost over like this.

field.

Newcastle United's offense was very difficult. Zhen Shaolong was defended very tightly. Blackburn's targeted defense was to let the players closely guard. If Zhen Shaolong was closer to the penalty area, he would encounter two people on the left and right.

As long as he is in the opponent's half, there is at least one person around him.

Zhen Shaolong has a lot of experience in targeted defense, not to mention Blackburn, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams have launched targeted defenses against him. He doesn't care about the players around him. The difference is that , Blackburn's defense in other positions is also very tight, even if he is not targeted for defense, as long as he is closer to the goal, there are opponents everywhere around him.

With the two superimposed together, the defense that Zhen Shaolong faced can be imagined.

Cooperate?

No.

Running is hard!

Not only Zhen Shaolong was heavily defended, but also the performance of other Newcastle United players were also affected. As long as the football is closer to the penalty area line, there is no way to play normal cooperation.

Seeing the time passing by, Zhen Shaolong began to retreat continuously.

Blackburn didn't care,

Now it's the last time, and the opponent can't find an opportunity at all in front, so they will naturally try to retreat a little, and cooperate with their teammates to find opportunities.

But it is difficult to pose a threat from the periphery of the penalty area.

The position near the penalty area line is very densely defended. It is very difficult to take a shot, and there are players everywhere in the penalty area. A shot from outside the penalty area, let alone a goal, requires luck to pass through the penalty area. .

So Blackburn didn't care at all, just defended normally, and sent players to mark Zhen Shaolong, and continued to closely mark him.

The player's name is Tugai.

Tugai is a Turkish veteran who is 38 years old.

38 years old!

Most professional players must have retired at this age, but Tugai has to continue to play. With his extremely rich experience, he can still perform well on the field.

Of course.

Zhen Shaolong doesn't care about Tugai's so-called experience. The trouble brought by the opponent is mainly to intercept the incoming ball. His biggest trouble is that even if he gets the ball, it is difficult to rush forward, because there are players in front of him. The space to display is very small.

Seeing that the football was delayed, Zhen Shaolong shook his head helplessly, "It seems..."

"I can only forcefully find an opportunity!"

————

Tu Gai is very serious about marking Zhen Shaolong. He may be the one who works the hardest among the 22 players on the field.

For others, the game is just a league game, but for Tugai, this is the last of his career, creating an opportunity to "talk" after retirement.

Tugai is about to retire soon, and his contract with Blackburn will end this season. He already plans to return to Turkey and join a local team in Turkey.

Then retire normally.

Looking back on his nearly 20 years of professional career, Tugai feels that he can be described as brilliant, because compared with most Turkish players, he has been able to play in the Premier League for more than ten years and become the main force of the Turkish national team. A great achievement, but when you think about it carefully, it’s actually not a big deal. He has never joined a wealthy team, and he is not famous in the world. The experience of the competition and the entire career can be described as mediocre.

After returning to Turkey so many times, talking to others about his career, he found that there was nothing to brag about.

One of the saddest things in life is getting older and discovering that the experiences of youth have nothing to brag about to young people.

This is so sad!

Therefore, the current game is an opportunity to accumulate bragging capital. Zhen Shaolong is the best player in the Premier League. It can even be said that he is not one of them. Even Ronaldo, who plays for Manchester United, has a gap with Zhen Shaolong's performance.

There is no player in the entire Premier League, dare to say that he can completely defend Zhen Shaolong.

Now.

He's about to do it.

Although the opponent also scored a goal, the conceded goal had nothing to do with him at all. He was not by the opponent's side at all at the time, and the conceded goal must have been a teammate's mistake.

During his defense, the opponent did not score.

As long as he can persist until the end of the game, it can be said that he has successfully defended Zhen Shaolong, and when he returns to Turkey, he can also relish saying, "Zhen Shaolong, do you know?"

"Even when I left, I could completely prevent Zhen Shaolong from dying. He didn't score a single goal."

"I really don't know what those players are doing? What kind of rubbish level are they? To let Zhen Shaolong score so many goals, the current level of defense in professional football is too bad!"

"..."

Tugai was very excited just thinking about it!

This is the capital to brag about coming back to Turkey in the future, but he is more motivated to play, the time is at the end, and he can't fail in the last few minutes.

————

Tugai's defense brought Zhen Shaolong a lot of trouble, but he didn't really care too much, because he started to actively look for opportunities. Newcastle United played another wave of offense, but the football still didn't reach Zhen Shaolong's feet.

Zhen Shaolong simply continued to retreat, and his position was parallel to that of Barton. It was impossible for Blackburn to defend the whole court, and there was a huge gap in the rear. It was completely impossible for Tugai to stop Zhen Shaolong's incoming ball.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Newcastle United launched an offensive again. The football was passed from the right to the center. Button got the ball and saw Zhen Shaolong running into the open space. A kick to Graeme.

There was no obstacle between Gremi and Zhen Shaolong, and the football was passed over immediately.

Zhen Shaolong faced the ball with his back to Tugai, Tugai tried his best to block the position, tried every means to influence Zhen Shaolong, and stared at the incoming ball from the corner of his eyes, and instantly decided to use a tactical foul to bring the opponent down when receiving the ball.

Then the game will be suspended.

This is the best way to defend. No matter how skillful the opponent is, there is no point in getting stuck. As long as you can delay a little longer, even if you get a yellow card, it is worth it.

Zhen Shaolong didn't know Tu Gai's thoughts, but there was not much time left in the game, so he had to seize this opportunity.

When the football rolled over, Zhen Shaolong turned on "Strike" without hesitation, dodged the cover in an instant, and ran towards the front without any movement of catching the ball.

Tugai was stunned for a moment, he had no way to perform the prepared action, and then found that the football had reached the opponent's feet.

"What kind of operation is this?"

Tu Gai didn't even understand it, because the opponent didn't even stop the ball. It seemed that he just wiped his right foot, and the football obediently rolled over.

This ball handling ability is too good!

Tugai hurried back to chase, but he didn't really care, because the opponent was too far away from the penalty area line, and the position was more than 40 meters away from the goal. It was definitely impossible to shoot. The opponent had to bring the ball close to the goal, and there was an interception by the Blackburn team in the middle , and he will be able to force the opponent to pass the ball with him.

However, he thought too simply.

Zhen Shaolong, who had activated "Strike", ran to the right side of another Blackburn player's defense. He didn't even care about the football. What he cared about was not to have physical contact with the opponent.

This kind of running is unexpected by any player. The opposing player is shaken and can only chase behind him horizontally.

Zhen Shaolong has already flashed out of space.

Nearly 30 meters away from the goal, there was no need to go any further. He glanced in the direction of the goal again, and swung his right foot vigorously without hesitation.

Volley hard!

It is a bit inappropriate to describe it as 'volley'. Zhen Shaolong just used his utmost strength to kick the football towards the sky towards the goal, and the football rushed to the sky in an instant.

In the eyes of everyone, it must be a clueless anti-aircraft gun. The football will fly high out of the goal frame, and it is impossible to have anything to do with the goal.

"It was a hasty shot!"

"Too hasty!"

"Zhen Shaolong seldom kicks such a low-quality ball. It seems that at the final stage of the game, Zhen Shaolong is also a little anxious. He really wants to help the team win the game."

"but……"

After the game, he didn't continue talking, because the picture in the camera lens was really beyond imagination, and he couldn't even believe it was real.

Many people had the same reaction as him.

They all shut their mouths and stared in the direction of Blackburn's goal blankly, because the football did not fly out of bounds. When it reached the highest point and was about to fly out, the trajectory of the football suddenly became strange, and the forward inertial motion It stopped, and turned into a rapid drop, towards the Blackburn goal.

"what happened?"

"what happens?"

Many people are surprised!

The only one who didn't react was the goalkeeper Friedel. He saw Zhen Shaolong's shot, he only glanced at it, and waited for the ball to be served again. In the blink of an eye, the football fell over?

Friedel opened his mouth wide, almost watching the football fall from his hand, without even reacting, "What's going on? What happened?"

He was dumbfounded.

At this moment, many people can understand Friedel, because they also can't understand why the football suddenly fell to the goal?

what happened?

I can't understand that ball at all!

When the football hit hard on the grass inside the goal, everyone immediately understood the reason. Normally, when a football falls from a high altitude onto the grass, it will definitely bounce high, but this ball only bounced about ten centimeters. It fell to the ground again and stopped in place.

Then everyone knew the reason, and they all opened their mouths in surprise, even more surprised than before.

Friedel reacted, and cursed in surprise, "Damn!"

"The ball deflated!"

"Football leaks!"

"This ball cannot be counted!"

"..."
