Chapter 119 Rolling a Five Inch Penalty

February NO.11, the traditional Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wei Xun did not go to Leeds with the team to prepare for the game. Today he has to stay with his family to watch the new year.

The entire Notts County base is full of traditional Chinese festivals, and the dinner at the Notts County restaurant today is also very rich. After all, the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner is completely different from the usual set meals, rice bowls, and buffets that everyone is used to.

Wang Defu, the general manager of Wangjiang Tower, went out in person to let the staff in Notts County have a good meal of pure Chinese food.

"Georgia, in my next life, I hope God can make me a Chinese. Chinese food is really delicious!"

"Harry, there's no need at all, you just have to make sure you'll be from Notts County in your next life..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Except for Georgia and his assistant, who were still chatting, everyone else in the restaurant was engrossed in eating.

Georgia speeded up the speed of forking vegetables into the bowl. He was not used to chopsticks, and he used forks to get more dishes from others every time, taking advantage of it.

This time, he forked two pieces of fat and thin braised pork, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. After one bite, his mouth was full of oil, "Wow, it's delicious, it's delicious."

After finishing cooking in the restaurant, Wang Defu has to rush to the next game, Villa No. [-] in Yanhe District.

"Ah Tai, where did Xunxun go at this time?"

Old man Wei Anguo had all the red envelopes in his hands, but his grandson didn't know where he went. The old man couldn't be in a hurry, so he had to urge Zhao Tai to find it.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Grandpa, let me open it. Wei Xun must be back." Zhao Tai, who was changing shoes at the entrance and was about to go out to find Wei Xun, opened the door, and the slippers in his hand fell directly to the ground.

"Old Zhao..."

"Quiet!"

"dad……"

"son!"

"Brother Tai..."

"brother!"

It was indeed Wei Xun who had come back. He had lulled Zhao Tai's wife and children over from China, and he had just picked them up by car at the airport.

It's winter, the nights in England are not too cold, otherwise Wei Xun would not dare to take this risk, Zhao Tai's precious son Zhao Qimeng is only six years old.

The old man Wei Anguo is also quick-witted, whoever let his grandson run out without reporting just now, the red envelope will not be given to him, and the red envelope will be given to six-year-old Zhao Qimeng directly.

"Thank you, grandpa..."

"Okay, okay, thank you, let's play with my little Weizi from now on, you are the older brother and you want to take the younger brother with you, you know?"

What Wei Anguo said was as if he was certain that Huang Yingying would give birth to a boy, which made Wei Xun feel very uncomfortable.

What year is it, and you are still doing this old feudal routine.

Boys and girls are not all of their own species, and the UK does not practice family planning, so it is best to have a boy and a girl.

The two doctors of Chinese medicine recruited from China have already returned to China for the Spring Festival. The Wei family, the Huang family, Zhao Tai and Zhang Qingsong's family, and the Chinese in the Notts County base are all crowded in the No. [-] villa to celebrate the Spring Festival.

"Hey, hey, there is, there is..."

"China Central Television, China Central Television, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, Happy Chinese New Year! Today is Chinese New Year's Eve. At this moment, we are live broadcasting the [-] Spring Festival Gala for you in Studio No. [-] of CCTV. Party, let us say goodbye to the old and welcome the new to spend a good night together."

……

On the 12th, Wei Xun woke up very early. He was going to Leeds to join his players. He had to fight with them.

The Notts County Fan Meeting will start on time at 01:30 in the afternoon. The projector on the rostrum will broadcast the scene of the game, so that fans who cannot go to the scene to watch the game can see the style of Notts County.

Eating snacks and drinking magpie tea, watching the game, and learning how to make dumplings with the chefs in the restaurant, it should be a warm-up program for the fan meeting.

On this slightly humid afternoon, Barzagli's pre-match injury cast a shadow over Notts County's arrival at Elland Road.

Pellizzoli's judgment was correct, and Chiellini started again.

Robbie Keane, who kept saying I want to score five, took advantage of Thiago Motta's pass error in the No. 19 minute, broke into the penalty area all the way, and scored a clean shot to give Leeds United the lead.

During the intermission, Guardiola adjusted the lineup of the game. All the veterans on the central axis, except for Abelardo, were replaced.

No. In the 407th minute, Klose, who came off the bench, equalized the score for Notts County with a difficult header shot. One to one, Elland Road fell into silence.

The assistant coach of the German national team in the stands also lowered his head to record something.

Klose, doing well.

In 8 minutes, Robbie Keane overturned Notts County's right back Lichtsteiner in a fight, but Notts County has no substitutions.

The Swiss was back on the field with a simple treatment, and Robbie Keane took advantage of Notts County's lack of man on the right to score his second goal of the game.

Keane chose to strip to celebrate, no doubt, the referee immediately gave him a topaz card.

The angry Lichtsteiner spit in the direction of this guy, and then went into the tense game again.

No.701 minutes, Robben actively returned to his penalty area to help his good brother Lichtsteiner defend.Arjen Robben, who has long disliked Robbie Keane, hit and dislocated Robbie Keane's left shoulder when he closed the door with Lichtsteiner. He persisted in the game and was forced to leave the field. Robben also received a yellow card for his restless behavior.

The referee drew out cards and appease in time, avoiding a full martial arts show.

Although Leeds United fans are not satisfied with the result of this penalty, at least they are still ahead.

Forget it, talk about it later.

The attacking spirit that Notts County fought to the last minute paid off:
No.807 minutes, Franck Ribery broke into the penalty area and slid to the ground. The referee immediately awarded a penalty kick and showed a yellow card to Rio Ferdinand, who came up from the defense.

"Damn it, there was no foul on this ball, Josep..."

"Yes, Wei, Frank should have slipped and fell by himself."

Ribery did slip by himself, not only himself, but many Notts County players have discovered that they are also helping the Leeds United players to complain to the referee.

"Sir, sir, look, even they themselves said they slipped and fell, please, I already have a yellow card on me"

The innocent Ferdinand put his hands together and kept begging the referee that he really didn't want to be sent off.

It's a pity that there was no turning back when the bow was fired. The referee refused to change the sentence, and his finger firmly pointed to the penalty spot.

Rio Ferdinand left the field in despair, two yellows turned one red, and he will be suspended for the next round of the FA Cup.

"Steven, you come here, they have one less player, but it's a wrong call, and you're injured, so I'm going to take you off the field, do you agree?"

"But coach, we don't have a quota for substitutions?"

Guardiola patted Lichtsteiner on the shoulder, "Stefan, I just want to win fair and square. In the next few minutes, I will fight them ten to ten."

Lichtsteiner left the field, Guardiola gave him a hug, the coaches and players on the bench also shook hands with him one by one, Georgia rushed up to check his wounds, he needs to go to the hospital for examination after the game .

The Notts County fans in the visiting team area all stood up and applauded Lichtsteiner, who was shopping against his opponent.

Hubner is off, and the team's first penalty shooter is the team's field captain, Harvey Alonso.

What surprised the fans and commentators at the scene was that the Notts County players, including goalkeeper Sasha, had all come to the corner area on the Leeds United side.

Are you ready to give up?
"Derrick, just now Coach Guardiola has removed Lichtsteiner, and now the Notts County players don't seem to be ready to defend, and no one is going to take a penalty kick. They stand at the corner. What's going on in the district?"

"Yeah, really weird, we saw Xavi Alonso surrounded by ten Leeds players, he went up and said something to Leeds goalkeeper Nigel Martin, We couldn't hear it very well, but we saw Martin give Alonso a pat on the head..."

Javi Alonso stepped back to take the penalty, he didn't leave any running distance, he stood on the spot.

The referee's whistle blew and Javi Alonso tiptoed the ball and walked towards his teammate.

"God, what is Alonso going to do with this penalty kick? The distance of the ball rolling is estimated to be less than five inches. Woodgate hurried forward to clear the ball..."

The ten Notts County players on the field crowded together tightly.

Xabi Alonso glanced up at the big screen, 91 minutes on and Notts County were still a goal behind:
"Guys, I hope you can forgive me, I think we may be eliminated and go home..."

"Harvey, you did the right thing. These damn bastards just met us. If it were someone else, just because of their hatred for hurting Stefan and Pell, today's game, we all Impossible to let them!"

"That's right, these sons of bitches don't know what's good!"

……

"Don't even talk about it, there are more than three minutes left, and I will use all the strength I have. As long as I don't get down, I will charge up!"

"123..."

"Notts County!"

In the last 3 minutes of the game, the Notts County players were still attacking, and the Leeds United players also played twelve points.

All the fans stood up, they were applauding the Notts County players, and even Robbie Keane, who was lying on a stretcher on the sidelines, applauded Notts County.

3 minutes may still be too little.

Notts County lost, but they are not sad.

Sportsmanship is what Wei Xun taught them from the first day they joined Notts County. Notts County people can lose with dignity, but they must not win in a hurry.

We must be the king of the court, and we must not be thieves walking in the dark.Victory, we will take it by ourselves, we don't need others' handouts, let alone steal.

Leeds United Chairman Peter Ridsdale, who has been staying in the box, also visited Wei Xun and the Notts County players in person on the Notts County bench.

The bold Peter made a decision on the spot to reach a youth training cooperation with Notts County. Notts County and Leeds United have priority in the loan and transfer of youth training players from both sides.
