The Midfield Master

Chapter 264: Suddenly Enlightened

(Welcome to join the Midfield Master book friend exchange group: 532028645)

Not to mention the commentators such as Zhan Jun, even the ordinary fans in the stands could see Xia Ze's mediocrity in the past ten minutes, but now that the game is behind, everyone's minds are attracted by how to tie the score, and they don't think too much about it. There are many other things.

But for members of the Everton coaching staff such as Martinez, and even the Everton players on the bench, this is not the mentality.

Xia Ze's current performance has obviously dragged down the team's offense.

"Roberto, do you want a substitution?" the assistant coach asked Martinez from the side.

Now there is only the final stoppage time left in the game. Although there were several player injuries and some unexpected situations in the second half, the full stoppage time is only four minutes, and there is really not much time left for Everton.

If this continues, it is very likely that Everton will hate the FA Cup final again, and the team will also miss the end of its 20-year history of no championship.

Martinez was about to nod when he heard a voice behind him.

"Boss, wait a minute."

It was Gibson who was speaking. He was wearing a jacket after being substituted. He walked to the sidelines and shouted at Xia Ze near the middle circle:

"Xia Ze, do you want to just go back to China with a runner-up medal!"

No one expected that Gibson would walk to the sidelines and yell at the court like a coach.

Whether it is in the FA Cup or other arenas, there is almost no phenomenon of players shouting at their teammates on the sidelines, because it seems to tell the world that you are the team's ball bully and you replaced Responsibilities of the head coach.

This is a big taboo for the stability of the team's locker room.

The photographers squatting nearby obviously also found the opportunity to take good photos, and pointed their lenses at Gibson one after another.

The director also immediately gave the camera to Gibson, and broadcast this scene to the world.

At this time, it happened to be a free kick opportunity near Everton's midfield, so Gibson's behavior also attracted special attention.

"What does he want?"

"Want to be a coach?"

The fans on the sidelines made a loud noise,

And Everton's assistant coach also intends to pull Gibson back, after all, such behavior is too risky.

"Let's see what he can do." Martinez held back his assistant.

Xia Ze and Gibson are the best friends, which is well known to everyone in the Everton club. Xia Ze was doing nothing during these ten minutes, obviously because of a problem with his mentality.

It might be useful for Xia Ze's best teammate to remind him.

The players on the field obviously also paid attention to the changes on the sidelines, and turned their heads to look at the sidelines. Both Everton players and Arsenal players are at a loss.

The referee Clattenburg also didn't understand what was going on, but Gibson didn't walk into the court, and the referee regulations didn't state that players were not allowed to enter the coach's command area, so he couldn't deal with it.

"What?" Xia Ze was relatively close to the coach's bench. Although the Wembley Stadium was surrounded by the singing of Arsenal fans, he still heard Gibson's words.

"Now we are all behind, why are you passing the ball slowly? Do you think we can equalize the score without losing possession!" Gibson continued to shout into the field.

Like Martinez, he also knew why Xia Ze suddenly became timid at this time, so there was no room for politeness in his words.

Hearing Gibson's words, Xia Ze's whole body suddenly trembled.

Yeah, why am I throwing this sluggish safety now. Could this help the team equalize the score? Could this reduce the damage caused by the mistake just now?

I should help the team equalize the score to make up for the mistakes just now.

If you don't want to be a sinner, you should stand up bravely instead of hiding behind your teammates, hoping that a certain teammate will come out to save you.

In an instant, the inner demon that troubled Xia Ze was finally broken, and the originally confused and depressed eyes became determined again.

"Give me the ball!" Xia Ze raised his head and quickly asked his teammates for the ball.

Both Gibson and Martinez breathed a sigh of relief seeing Xia Ze recovering his spirits.

Gibson winks at Martinez and returns to his seat.

The two adventurous shouts just now really worked. It is very likely that within a few minutes, the photo of myself shouting like a head coach on the sidelines just now will spread all over the Internet.

There may be various criticisms, but Gibson doesn't care, as long as he can help the team and his friends, so what if he bears some unwarranted public criticism?

Other teammates on the field also felt the changes in Xia Ze's field. Now that the game has come to the final stoppage time, if they don't fight hard, they may lose the game just like that.

Arsenal's players have all returned to their own half-court defense. As long as they survive these three minutes, they will defend the FA Cup and successfully surpass Manchester United to become the team that has won the most FA Cups.

Xia Ze got the ball, and the opponent's players were densely packed in front of him, but the captain on the left side, Baines, still got a gap under the pull of his teammates.

In the middle of Baines' running route, there are three Arsenal players. It is definitely not good to pass a ground ball. If you pass a high ball, it is likely to go directly to the bottom line, or it may not be able to pass the top of the opponent's defender, so the pass must be strong. It's tricky and risky.

If it was Xia Ze a few minutes ago, he would definitely not dare to choose to pass the ball directly to Bynes, but Xia Ze has been woken up by Gibson's scolding just now, and now his team has no choice but to take risks.

So Xia Ze quickly adjusted his pace and breathing, and made a long pass with his right foot to the left side of the frontcourt, close to the baseline.

The ball passed over the opponent's defender's head smoothly, but the strength seemed to be a little bit stronger, and it was about to float out of the baseline.

But captain Baines also quickly advanced, caught the ball back before it flew out of the baseline, and volleyed the ball back to the middle.

The ball spun flat and quickly over the penalty area. I thought the ball would go out of bounds, so the Arsenal players were a little distracted.

Lukaku jumped high and directly pressed Mertesacker with a header.

Boom! !

The ball flew towards the goal quickly, but unfortunately, it landed a little more squarely, so Ospina lifted the ball out of the crossbar with both hands.

The Everton fans in the stands behind the goal put their heads in their hands and let out a sigh of regret.

And Lukaku also looked at the goal with regret, annoyed that he had not been able to turn this excellent opportunity into a goal.

Ospina made a key save at the last moment, and immediately punched and shouted after standing up.
