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

"Xia Ze's shot from outside the penalty area, the goal is scored! Absolutely equal! Xia Ze's last-minute goal, Everton equalized!" Zhan Jun's voice was almost hoarse.

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! This is an incredible goal, an incredible game, Everton evened the score at the last moment!"

Speaking of this, Zhan Jun raised his voice a bit, and even said proudly: "The Chinese player who scored the goal, Xia Ze!"

Accompanied by Zhan Jun's commentary voice, bars of all sizes in China boiled up, and fans clinked glasses to celebrate. And in some houses, the man who was watching the football game aroused his wife's dissatisfaction because he was too loud, but the smile on his face could not be concealed.

"Thank God, thank the Tathagata Buddha, thank the Jade Emperor..." In a bar in Guangzhou, Old Wang folded his hands and murmured.

The friends around him don't care about Lao Wang's strange behavior, because their own behavior is also very strange.

In the mansion in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, Ai Huang saw Xia Ze score a goal to help the team equalize at the last moment, and was so angry that he smashed his wine glass on the ground.

After watching it for a while, I still couldn't let go of my hatred, so I smashed the expensive bottle of red wine on the TV screen.

Everything designed today was in vain, scored twice, and brought his team into overtime at the last moment. Regardless of whether Xia Ze can win the FA Cup with Everton in the end, Ai Huang's idea of ​​using public opinion to ruin Xia Ze's reputation is impossible to realize.

...

Madeira, Portugal, the moment Xia Ze scored a goal, Monica had already opened her eyes. Because she was frightened by the surprise sounds in the previous ten seconds, the moment she opened her eyes, she happened to see Xia Ze's goal.

She, like other fans, cheered and celebrated.

Seeing Xia Ze's goal in the bar, Tenonio also celebrated excitedly. It seemed that it was not Xia Ze who scored the goal, but himself.

...

The Wembley stadium was boiling, and Xia Ze didn't know what the final result would be at the moment he took the kick.

When the ball got into the net, his mind went blank, and it was even more exciting than the first goal, almost causing brain hypoxia.

He didn't know how he ran to the sidelines to celebrate,

How he was pressed by his teammates on the corner kick area, and how he stood up and blew kisses at the stands where his mother and girlfriend were.

When he woke up, Clattenburg had already blown the whistle for the end of the game.

Clattenburg blew the whistle for the end of the game immediately after Xia Ze's goal, and there was no need for a re-kick-off.

Relying on Xia Ze's goal at the last moment, Everton narrowly escaped death, and Arsenal were tied 2-2 within 90 minutes of regular time, and the two sides will enter overtime.

Arsenal's two goals were scored by Giroud and Ozil, while Everton's two goals were scored by Xia Ze.

Xia Ze's sharpness completely overwhelmed the other 21 players on the field. It was the first time in history that an Asian player could have such a brilliant performance in the FA Cup final.

There will be a 15-minute break between the teams before extra time begins. Thirty minutes of overtime, divided into two halves, there is no intermission in overtime, the two sides adjust slightly for a minute or two, and after the exchange of venues, the second half of overtime will be played.

If there is still a tie in overtime, then it will enter a brutal penalty shootout.

In the history of the FA Cup final, the probability of a penalty shootout is not high. The main reason is that the rules of the final penalty shootout have only been implemented in the last ten years. , all require a rematch until the two sides decide the winner.

So if you see a penalty shootout, it is quite a rare thing.

The players and coaches of both sides entered the locker room to prepare for the final 30-minute decisive battle.

After fighting for 90 minutes, the players on both sides were exhausted. So after entering the locker room, a physical therapist immediately relaxes the muscles for the players. There are not enough physical therapists, so it is the substitute players or players who are replaced to help their teammates relax their muscles.

Players quickly replenish energy through various functional drinks and food.

"Kevin, you come down to rest in overtime, James, you come on the field, and advocate the running and control of the midfield." The assistant coach announced Martinez's substitution arrangement in the locker room.

Miralas fought for the entire 90 minutes. The speed player naturally consumes a lot of energy, and now he is probably about to cramp.

Miralas didn't have any opinion, knowing that it would be better for the team, James McCarthy high-fived.

McCarthy played in the midfielder position, and Miralas who replaced the winger is also normal.

After all, there are already Lukaku, Kone and Naismith in the frontcourt. Gibson was replaced by a striker because the team fell behind and needed to fight for their lives.

Now that the team has equalized the score and everything starts again, it is natural to consider the balance of the lineup.

"Xia Ze, is your fitness okay?" the assistant coach turned to Xia Ze.

"No problem!" Xia Ze nodded. The last ten minutes of being absent-minded just now allowed him to conserve a lot of energy. Originally, my physical fitness has been improved since I came to the Premier League. Now I have to grit my teeth and finish the overtime game, and it should be fine.

"That's good." The assistant coach nodded: "Control the rhythm in overtime, use the physical fitness of Kone and Naismith, and don't need to dribble too much."

What the assistant coach said made sense. After all, Xia Ze had already played for 90 minutes, and so did the other players. Only Kone and Naismith, who played at the end of the second half, have the best physical fitness and can attack the opponent's defense.

Of course, Arsenal will definitely make targeted substitutions. The opponent still has two substitutions that are useless. The space for substitutions will definitely be greater than Everton.

Xia Ze nodded again, and the assistant coach went to arrange tactics with other players.

After McCarthy was dressed, he also went outside the court early to prepare to replace him.

Fifteen minutes is not a long time, it passed in a flash. When players from both sides returned to the pitch, the entire Wembley Stadium cheered.

For the fans of both sides, these eleven players on the court are their heroes.

Arsenal also made substitutions, with Chamberlain and Flamini replacing Ozil and Cazorla respectively. The substitutions of both sides at the last moment are extremely critical. Whether it is the balance of the lineup or the addition of fresh blood, it will play a key role.

The captains of the two sides chose sides again. After the referee whistled, Arsenal chose to kick off. Walcott passed the ball to Sanchez, and the first half of extra time began!
