Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 640 48 Years of Waiting

After seeing Miles get a red card, McLaren knew that the game was over.

It’s not terrible to be one goal behind, but it’s a bit scary to be one goal behind with one less person. Although Robert was injured, their strength will not drop much for Newcastle, but it will make their players feel like they are fighting against each other , while Middlesbrough's players suffered another serious blow to morale. Under the ebb and flow, they can only hope for a miracle if they want to recover.

McLaren replaced Mendieta with the young right-back Stockdale. In this case, he still chose to defend-his bet was that Newcastle would not be satisfied with a one-goal lead and would continue to strengthen the attack. , There is still a period of time before the end of the game. If Newcastle cannot start the situation, there may be a flaw in the backcourt. As long as the score can be equalized, the balance of victory after entering overtime will tilt towards Middlesbrough.

McLaren's plan was well played, but after only 5 minutes, Newcastle's attack shattered all his plans.

Stewart received a pass from Nie Fei on the left. For Stewart, although Robert's end gave him a chance to play, it does not mean that he will be grateful to Middlesbrough for this—— Although he is Robert's substitute, he is quite convinced of Robert's skills and ability to break through and pass the ball. He set his pursuit target on Robert, and it is precisely because of this that he cannot tolerate the opponent's foul method Hurt Robert.

Miles was off the field, so he took his anger out on Stockdale, who had replaced Miles at right back, and when he saw the opponent rushing towards him, he first pretended to dribble towards him. Walk in the middle, and then suddenly dunk the ball near the bottom line, forcibly breaking through!

Stockdale turned around and tried to catch up, but Stewart was so fast that he quickly left him behind. After catching up with the ball, he dunked horizontally and broke into the penalty area!

Like a hot knife cutting into a piece of butter, Stewart, who was embedded in the Middlesbrough penalty area, immediately disrupted the opponent's defense line!
Southgate left Ibrahimovic and rushed towards him, and Boateng took his place. Seeing that Southgate and Stockdale were about to form a front and back attack, Stewart calmly observed the penalty area After the inside situation, he passed the ball near the penalty spot!
Nie Fei stepped in from the back row, swung his right foot and directly hit the ball!

The ball quickly changed direction and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal. Schwarzer immediately made a save as soon as he turned around, stretching his hands desperately, hoping to catch the ball!
But his efforts were in vain, the ball flew past his hands, spun and hit the net behind him!

"Goal! Nie Fei's volley near the penalty spot helped Newcastle extend their lead to two goals again! Now is the No.706 minute of the game, and Middlesbrough's hope of winning is already very slim... Newcastle is about to Ushering in their first championship in 33 years!" Lineker's voice also brought a touch of excitement, indeed Newcastle, the team with the most fans in England, has not won the championship for too long : "If only domestic championships are counted, then this will be their first national championship since 1955-the first championship after a full 48 years!"

The Newcastle fans in the stands were even more ecstatic. In their view, the championship is definitely in the bag of Newcastle. With the current state of Middlesbrough, how could it be possible to score our two goals at the last moment of the game? !

Mourinho began to use substitutions to consolidate his advantage. He replaced Trabelsi with Kufuor. Now that he is ready to consolidate his advantage, it is a bit too subdued for an offensive player like Trabelsi to be a defensive coolie. Well, it is better to let him defend than let Kufuor play directly, not to mention that Trabelsi's physical energy has been almost exhausted in the game just now, and it can save a little physical energy if he takes a good rest.

After another 5 minutes of the game, Middlesbrough, whose hopes were shattered, also seemed a little weak on offense. After a few back and forth, Newcastle gained possession of the ball and fell in the backcourt for more than a minute. At this time, Mourinho used up his third substitution quota, Janus replaced Nie Fei, and Newcastle's midfield became a parallel position.

Nie Fei received warm applause from [-] Newcastle fans when he left the field. From a technical point of view, Nie Fei was definitely the best player in the game. In the second half, he personally scored a goal to seal the victory. With one shot and two passes, the Chinese star conquered the Millennium Stadium!
After paying tribute to the fans, Nie Fei came to the bench, and Mourinho smiled and extended his hand to him: "Good job, Nie Fei."

Nie Fei took his hand and laughed, then looked at Pei Wei, who was sitting on the coach's bench and smiling happily.

Sitting down next to Pei Wei with a smell of sweat all over, Pei Wei locked him by the neck: "Stinky boy, you did a good job today... OK, let us Chinese look good!"

Nie Fei laughed and dodged Pei Wei's hand: "Boss, to be honest, I wish today's match was the final of the Champions Cup..."

"You have a big appetite." Pei Wei said in surprise, "Why didn't I see that you have such a big ambition before?"

"It's not ambition, boss." Nie Fei became serious: "To be honest, I didn't think it was great when I was in China. I only knew that winning the league championship was already a great thing. I didn't think it until after Europe. The highest pursuit of players at the club level... In the world of professional football, the Champions League has the same status as the World Cup! Confidence, but in 02 when we had such a big advantage, we could only get No.3, so unless there is a leap forward, it will be difficult for the Chinese team to achieve this goal before I retire, so I hope to be able to win the championship cup!"

Pei Wei was quiet for a while, then nodded: "Xiao Feizi, what you said makes sense...I think so too, a leap to the level of a national team cannot be achieved overnight, and there are many superstars before you because of the national team. The low strength of the team failed to participate in the World Cup, such as Weah, it is not bad to take the Champions League as a short-term goal... But I think you will realize this ideal, maybe this season."

"I also believe that we have the strength." Nie Fei clenched his fists.

Mourinho glanced at them and shook his head in silence.

**********************************
Middlesbrough's players have basically given up the game, their running is starting to look weak, in fact, they have consumed too much energy in the intense Premier League, although they are still capable of finishing a game , but that was only when there was hope, and now, they had basically lost all hope, so naturally they had no strength to continue the game.

At least, their ranking in the league is not bad now. As long as they can get the top six, they can still enter the UEFA Cup next season. Besides, Newcastle is very likely to enter the UEFA Champions League next season. They can also appear in the European competition next season.

However, who will remember who is England's League Cup runner-up in a certain season?Not to mention that no one will remember the teams that participated in the UEFA Cup in a certain season. The gap between the champion and the runner-up is so big...

Perhaps at some point in the future, when people remember that Newcastle embarked on the road to revival through this championship, they will remember that it was Middlesbrough they defeated.

However, it is estimated that neither the Middlesbrough club nor the Middlesbrough fans are willing to be remembered in this way...

Tangning may be the only one who hasn't given up on the game. He is very young and doesn't know how to save energy for the upcoming league games. He only knows that the game is not over yet, so I have to attack!

The coach sent me on the field, not to kill the rest of the time, but to hope that I can bring victory to the team...

"Oh! Tang Ning passed Kufuor! Will he win a point for Middlesbrough?" The commentator shouted, "The game has reached stoppage time, but the young Tang Ning did not give up! "

Tangning dribbled the ball and made a decisive breakthrough to the bottom line!
Kufuor, who was swayed by him just now, followed closely from behind. When Tangning broke through to the bottom line, he looked up at the penalty area, trying to pass the ball to his teammate.

"Damn it! There is no one in the restricted area!"

Seeing that the restricted area was full of Newcastle players wearing black and white sword-striped shirts, Tangning cursed inwardly in despair, and then decided to break through the restricted area by himself!
Just as he flicked the ball horizontally, a foot stretched out from behind and accurately poked the ball out of the baseline!

Kufuor withdrew his foot, bared his teeth and smiled at Tangning who was lying on the ground - Boy, even if you score this goal, it's no big deal, but I won't let you score easily either!

Tang Ning covered her face. At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded. At this moment, the cheers from the Newcastle fans flooded the entire Millennium Stadium!
