Demon Golden Boots

Chapter 154 Never Fear
Alexander blocked Sheffield United's must-have goal on the goal line, and the Coventry fans erupted in cheers.Old George breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the coach's bench.

Sheffield United coach Warnock was annoyed: "Damn! Only a little bit!"

Throughout the first 20 minutes of the second half, Sheffield United was like a hammer, firmly pressing Coventry in their own half.

Coventry can only defend, defend, and defend desperately.There was little they could do to fight back.

In the 21st minute of the first half, the winger of Sheffield United broke into the penalty area with a 45-degree spike.There has been an oversight in Coventry's defense!
Their defense against Sheffield United's No. 8 player without the ball was missed!

The Sheffield United winger saw the space of his teammates and passed lightly from a small angle. No. 8 plugs in and shoots!At a distance of 15 meters from the goal and at a 45-degree angle, if No. 8 completes the shot, there is a greater chance that the goal will be scored!

In desperation, Coventry defender Harry could only pull Sheffield United's No. 8 in the penalty area!
Sheffield United's No. 8 was originally sprinting, but was thrown off balance by this pull.He didn't grab the first point.

However, all this has not escaped the judge's eyes!
"Beep~" The referee's whistle rang!His finger pointed to the penalty spot in the Coventry penalty area!The referee awarded a penalty kick!
At the same time, the referee walked up to Coventry defender Harry and drew a red card without hesitation!

One person is sent off and a penalty kick is awarded!The fans of Sheffield United finally let out a bad breath!They burst into cheers from the stands.

Liu Yun ran over and patted Harry on the shoulder. He comforted Harry and said, "It's okay Harry, after all you blocked a must-goal goal! Don't argue with the referee, get off the field."

During this period of time, Liu Yun has completely become the big brother of all the players in Coventry by virtue of his amazing performance in several games.

Harry smiled wryly.

Now the only remaining hope of the Coventry team is pinned on the young goalkeeper Ruan.

The referee placed the ball on the penalty spot.The Sheffield United captain walks up to the penalty spot to take the penalty.

Juan muttered in his mouth: "Merciful Lord, you are my strength, please help me. Lord, I believe in you, don't let me be ashamed. Don't let the enemy play triumphant songs on me. The Lord is me My strength is my refuge, my tower and liberator, my shield...!"

After Juan finished praying, the captain of Sheffield United took a few steps back and took a deep breath.Run up, shoot!

The ball hits the bottom right corner of the goal.However, Ruan rushed to the left side of the goal!His judgment was wrong!
The ball went into the net!
"Yeah~~~~~~~~~" Sheffield United fans burst into cheers.

Now it's the turn of Sheffield United coach Warnock to breathe a sigh of relief.Finally took the lead again.According to this situation, it is only a matter of time before Sheffield United wins.

"Beep~" The referee's whistle rang, but his hand didn't point to the middle circle!Goal, invalid?
It turned out that at the moment when the Sheffield United captain shot, a Sheffield United player entered the penalty area first!
Goal invalid!Free throw again!
Sheffield United fans and manager Warnock really had a lot of fun.

The captain of Sheffield United and a group of players directly surrounded the referee to argue.

The referee was unmoved, and his hand was on the right breast pocket.The meaning is obvious, if you pester me again, I will draw my cards.

The big-mouthed Dunphy in the commentary seat said a fair word.He asked the director to replay the slow motion: "Look, a moment before the Sheffield United captain touched the ball, a player did rush into the penalty area. The referee's penalty is fair."

On the pitch, all the players of Sheffield United also knew that it would be futile to argue any longer.Anyway, with heavy penalty kicks, our side still has a great chance to regain the lead!

The Sheffield United captain walked to the penalty spot again.

Juan also prayed in his heart again: "My merciful Lord, I will never be afraid, and I will never give in. Please grant me the agility of an eagle!"

The captain of Sheffield United runs up and shoots!

Ru'an once again made a right side pounce!The Sheffield United captain's penalty went straight to the right of the goal!

Ruan judged the right position!He pounced on the ball, he pressed the ball tightly under him!

"Yeah~~~~~~~~" Coventry fans cheered!Although one person was sent off, the score was still tied at 1:1!As long as there is a tie, there is a chance to counterattack!

Juan, a young goalkeeper in his early twenties, held the ball in both hands, and first murmured: "Thank you, my lord!"

Then he let out a hoarse roar!

Alexander and Liu Yun gave Ru'an their thumbs at the same time.

Fat Bob explained: "It seems that Coventry not only has the strongest spear - the old lieutenant Liu, but also the strongest shield - the young goalkeeper Ruan."

Big-mouthed Deng Fei smiled and said: "That's right! Juan performed well in this game. Under the heavy bombardment of Sheffield United, he saved several must-see goals. This time he saved a penalty! It is really promising young general!"

After serving the ball again, although Coventry was sent off, its morale was boosted.

At this time, the fourth official raised his substitution card.

Old George decisively adjusted the lineup, replacing forward Manla and replacing him with a defender.

Now that Coventry is firmly pressed by Sheffield United in their own half, Manla really can't find a chance in front.Instead of letting him wait for an opportunity in the frontcourt, it is better to replace him and replace him with a defender to strengthen the defense.

Sheffield United were demoralized after missing a penalty.The quality of the offense is also getting worse.The only few shots were also shot by the striker.But they still have a firm grip on possession.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

Alexander, Liu Yun, and a group of Coventry players almost exhausted all their strength.Defend, defend, defend.Be sure to hold on!Liu Yun felt like his legs were filled with lead.He has a bad heart, which may be a sign of physical exhaustion.

Finally, the second half of the game went to stoppage time.

The format of the FA Cup is very strange.In the knockout round before the semi-finals, if the two sides draw in regular time, there will be no overtime and penalty shootouts, and the game will end directly, and a rematch will be played 3 days later.Extra time and penalty shootouts will only be played if there is a tie after 90 minutes in the replay.

Sheffield United fans are already furious.Facing the ninth-ranked League Two team in the league, Sheffield United, the leader of League One, did not end the battle within 90 minutes of regular time!Some Sheffield United fans have already started leaving early.They are ready to come back and support their team in the next rematch.

Even the Sheffield United team doctors began to pack their medical kits, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to end the game.

They forgot one thing.On the football field, who dares to say the outcome until the last second?

Stoppage time in the second half was 3 minutes.In the last minute, Sheffield United got the chance to attack!

Sheffield United attacked, and the winger crossed the ball across the middle, which was confiscated by goalkeeper Juan.The ball changed hands!
Juan didn't blindly throw the ball.He made a push forward motion, signaling his teammates to move forward.

As the captain, Liu Yun understood, and he shouted: "Come on!"
