Chapter 24 Is it hard to score a goal on your head?
Chapter 24 Is it hard to score goals on your head?

Sanders never took his eyes off the opponent's No. 9 black-haired big man when he entered the field.Before the game, the coach had given him the task of marking the opponent's high center forward.

The head coach's emphasis on the opponent's high center made Sanders very upset.

"Is there a high center forward in front of me?"

Sanders curled his lips. He is nearly two meters tall, 190 centimeters tall.As a tall central defender, he is very confident in his head skills.

It's a pity that his gaze was doomed to be dark, Li Qingshan didn't even notice that there was a big man behind him watching him closely.

Before the game, captain Dean Stott lost the coin toss and was given the right to pick a side by his opponent. FC United get the kick-off.

After the referee blew the whistle, the game officially started.

Li Qingshan ran towards the opponent's half, standing in front of the opponent's two central defenders.At this time, an opponent player suddenly ran in front of him.

"Hey, shorty, don't show off your ridiculous header in front of me!"

Li Qingshan has never been ridiculed as a short man, his nickname is usually a big man or something.He turned around and saw the back of a giant two-meter-tall man turning away.

This made Li Qingshan, who was about to say something, touch his nose.

This time the attack on FC United failed to move the ball to the frontcourt. The opponent intercepted the ball and was pressing the attack.Li Qingshan glanced at the player who provoked him just now, the opponent is still staring at him.

Li Qingshan turned his head and ran back to his own half to defend. Although his defensive skills are not good, it is good for multiple people to intercept in the midfield.

Grantham's first attack made FC United very embarrassed. The opponent finally ended the attack with a long shot near the arc of the penalty area in response to a baseline pass.

Makinson stands on the sidelines.Grantham's attack made him feel a little dangerous.However, amateur leagues are like this. Sometimes double-handed opponents do not understand at all. It is difficult to obtain information such as the opponent's personnel changes and tactical play before the game.

It is not often for the Grantham team to observe FC United before the game.The reason why they do this is firstly that this is their first game when they are promoted to the seventh level; secondly, FC United is not as unknown as other amateur teams. When they were established, they were featured in major media headlines.

Markinson could only observe Grantham's tactics during the game.Grantham doesn't seem to be an English team, and it actually mainly relies on short passes and wingers to bring offense.Their left winger has good dribbling skills. Grantham's first attack to form a shot was that he stepped on the bicycle on the right side of the penalty area a few times and then swung past the right back Lee Neville. A shot by a midfielder near the arc of the penalty area.It's a pity that it missed.

Grantham team coach McGee also stood on the sidelines. He is only in his 30s this year and looks much younger than Makinson, who is already in his 50s next to him.Seeing our side's shot missed, he was not upset, but smiled and applauded, expressing his appreciation for this attack.

After Li Qingshan saw the opponent's shot miss, he ran towards the opponent's penalty area, ready to respond to the goalkeeper's big kick

But this time the serve goalkeeper James kicked out of the sideline, and James, who sent the bad serve, hurriedly apologized to his teammates.James' goal-line technique and reaction speed are outstanding in the amateur league, but unfortunately his feet are much worse.

But this is an amateur league, where can players be required to pass every skill.

This serve gave Grantham a throw-in, and they quickly passed the ball to the left after the serve, and their attacking center of gravity was on this side.

The opponent's left winger once again received a pass from his teammate. Lee Neville stepped forward to defend. Neville's one-on-one defensive ability is at the forefront in FC United, but he can't keep up with the opponent now. The rhythm, the opponent easily shook him away.The last time the opponent's inverted triangle pass from the bottom formed a very threatening shot, this time Neville deliberately blocked the opponent's bottom line to prevent the opponent from breaking through.However, this time the opponent suddenly cut in and wiped him and then suddenly shot.

This shot startled Lee Neville into a cold sweat. He turned his head and saw goalkeeper James fell to the ground and saved the ball from the baseline, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Nevi, watch him closely!!"

After falling to the ground and throwing the ball, James yelled at him.

The two consecutive attacks posed a threat, which made the Grantham fans at home extremely excited. They frantically waved their scarves and flags and sang cheering songs, making the atmosphere of the whole stadium even more enthusiastic.

The FC United fans sitting in the corner were a little bit frowning.

"Neville seems to be unable to withstand the opponent's left winger."

"Been passed twice in a row!"

"Is there anything Coach Markinson can do?"

"We haven't organized an attack yet!"

The expression on Elma's face at the moment is not optimistic. The opponent has a player with strong breakthrough ability, which makes it difficult for FC United to defend.In fact, sometimes breakthrough ability is the most difficult offensive ability to defend. Just like the Dutch winger Robben, all defenders are worried about his breakthrough and in-cut shots when defending Robben.As a senior fan, Alma certainly knows this.The team's defense encountered great difficulties.

"Adam, Adam!!"

Ma Jinson was also a little restless, and he called out the central defender Adam Jones.

"Pay attention to the defense on the right, you go to help Neville!"

Markinson didn't have any good methods either. Lee Neville couldn't prevent the opponent's breakthrough by himself, so he could only add one more defender.

Grantham's corner kick this time also formed an attack. Central defender Sanders grabbed the ball and headed the ball towards the goal, slightly higher than the crossbar.

After slightly hugging his head to express his regret, he ran back and returned to his defensive position.When passing by Li Qingshan, he said, "See, Chinese." After speaking, he patted his shiny bald head.

Li Qingshan squinted his eyes and looked at the opponent, who was provoking him with his eyes while stepping back.I was baffled by this giant bald man who repeatedly provoked himself.

This time, James' big kick was finally accurate. Li Qingshan stopped the football by occupying the spot of the football.

Nick on the wing received a pass from Li Qingshan. The opponent had already forced two defensive players one behind the other, and he had no room to break through. He passed the ball to Dean Stott who came to meet him.

After receiving the ball, Stott glanced at the direction of the penalty area.Where Li Qingshan was being entangled by the opponent's tall and scary central defender.If it was someone else, Stott would definitely have controlled the ball and looked for a suitable open pass.

But since Li Qingshan was in the penalty area, he didn't hesitate to kick the ball close to the penalty area with a curved kick.He has great confidence in Li Qingshan's ability to compete for high-altitude landings.Just look at all the defenders of FC United who were brutally abused by Li Qingshan in training.

The moment Li Qingshan saw Dean pass the ball with his feet, the route of the ball appeared in his mind. He was pulled by the opponent's tall central defender and moved to a suitable area for jumping and competing for the top.

Sanders clung to his opponent, and when he saw the opponent suddenly pass a high-altitude ball into the penalty area, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously. There was only one point in the penalty area, and he was still tightly clung to him. How could there be any threat?
Just when he was about to press Li Qingshan with his chest and take off to clear the ball out of the penalty area.However, Li Qingshan suddenly took a step forward, leaped high, turned around and headed the ball before him.

The goalkeeper didn't respond, and the ball went straight into the goal without warning.

Grantham's goal was lost in FC United's first seemingly inadvertent tentative attack.This made the singing of the home fans who were originally excited to sing suddenly stop.

It's like the tape recorder is stuck.

How is this going?We played with momentum from the beginning, and a few shots were very threatening.There is only one point in the penalty area for the opponent's pass, and we have a tall man who is almost two meters tall, so someone scored a header?
The Grantham fans were a little stunned.

The head coach Grantham on the sidelines was also very angry with this goal. He believed that it was the result of the defense not being focused enough.

The Grantham players on the pitch were not much better either. Their several attacks at the beginning of the game were threatening. It seemed that the opponent's goal was already crumbling, but the opponent's first tentative attack pried them open. The blow to morale is too great.

The bald giant Sanders is a little depressed at the moment. He has clearly suppressed the opponent by virtue of his height advantage. It seems that the football in the air is about to hit his head. At that time, he can easily clear the siege with a shake of his head. When confronting him, he suddenly took a step forward and took the ball into the gate.

The players of FC United didn't care about this, they stepped forward to hug Li Qingshan to celebrate the goal, but Li Qingshan didn't go forward to celebrate the goal with them, but turned and walked away.

Just when they were wondering, Li Qingshan had already walked in front of Sanders, who was still annoyed about his defensive mistakes, and spread his hands.

"I'm sorry, is it hard to score goals on your head?"
