Chapter 53

As for how Wilson adjusted his tactics in the locker room, we will not mention it for the time being. I believe that Mr. Wilson, who has realized his mistake, will make a wise decision.

During the 15 minutes of the intermission, Bramall Lane did not show the slightest sign of cooling down. There were bursts of loud singing, bursts of thunderous roars, bursts of thunderous rhythmic applause, and waves of undulating red people, making the whole Bramall Lane pitch like a pot of boiling water, churning endlessly.

During the halftime break, there was such a hot atmosphere. This may be the first time in the history of Sheffield United. What caused all this was the roar of Zhang Xu and his teammates igniting the inner flames of war.

Soon, the 15-minute intermission was over, and players from both sides filed out from the player channel amidst the earth-shattering applause of Blade fans.

Compared with before the start of the first half, the expressions of Sheffield United players have changed greatly.

Before the start of the first half, all Sheffield United players, except for Zhang Xu's eager face, looked lazy; but now, everyone, without one exception, looked vicious, looking at the Birmingham players with a knife-like murderous look in their eyes!
"Beep!" A whistle sounded, and the second half of the game began.

As soon as the game started, the Birmingham players felt a completely different pressure from the first half!

When the Birmingham players were organizing the attack, every time they pushed forward, there would be Sheffield United players approaching ferociously, trying their best to interfere or block the momentum of the attack.

When defending, Sheffield United changed their decadent performance in the first half, allowing all Birmingham players to feel their indomitable momentum. At this time, it seemed that every Sheffield United player had a strong desire to attack, and everyone was trying to attack every possible attacking place in Birmingham!

Especially Zhang Xu, he played a huge role in the first half and caused great trouble for Birmingham.Now, with the strong cooperation of his teammates, he has exerted all his energy, marking, stealing, header clearance, tackles, blocking, all of which have achieved the ultimate that he can do!
Under such strong pressure from Sheffield United, coupled with the hoarse support of the fans, the game turned out to be a stalemate.

After a while, you shot a short pass and almost broke the goal; after a while, I made a pass from the wing, and I dived to the top but regrettably slid out of the goal.

During the nearly 10 minutes of the game, the offense of both sides was very fierce, and the defense was also extremely fierce. The scene of the whole game was brilliant.The exclamation and applause of the fans also echoed as the game progressed.

However, the crazy style of play of the Sheffield United players consumes a lot of energy. In addition, Birmingham's overall strength is indeed superior. Sheffield United has to pay more physical strength to compete with Birmingham whether it is defense or offense.

Under such circumstances, the physical exertion of Sheffield United players is much higher than that of Birmingham players.So, after 10 minutes, many Sheffield United players showed more or less signs of deformation due to excessive physical exertion.

In the 701st minute of the game, after Birmingham goalkeeper Michel took Evans' shot, he immediately threw the ball to the right back David Murphy who was responding from the right front.

Murphy saw that most of the Sheffield United players were still in their own half, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to counterattack.So, along the touchline, he quickly rushed towards the Sheffield United half.

After entering the Sheffield United half-court, he saw the Chinese zhang coming forward head-on. He knew that with the character of this Chinese zhang, continuing to dribble and break through must be asking for trouble, so he wisely passed the ball to No. 7 Chris.

It was not very smooth for Chris to catch the ball, because when Murphy passed the ball, Zhang Xu immediately reacted and stepped forward to get in position quickly. It may be because of his physical strength.

Even so, Chris was shocked and quickly controlled the ball that turned a corner.It is conceivable that if Chris hadn't reacted quickly, the ball would have been intercepted by Zhang Xu.

Before Chris could completely control the ball, he saw Zhang Xu rushing forward like a wolf. Frightened, he quickly sent the ball out.

The quality of the pass under panic is definitely not too high.But by mistake, this low-quality pass passed through Sheffield United's defense and appeared on the right edge of the penalty area!

This is a rather special vacuum zone. Birmingham's forwards and Sheffield United's defenders are all about ten meters away.

Zikic is not a player who is good at speed. He can only look at the ball and sigh, but he just ran over like where the football is, unwilling to give up.

Halfway through the run, Sheffield United defender Matthew had already rushed to the front of the football, and kicked the ball out with a big kick.

This time it was even more funny, Matthew's big foot didn't go out at all, and directly hit Zikic who was rushing towards him!

The ball hit Zigic and bounced into the penalty area.

Zikic was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that it was a rare opportunity for Matthew to clear the siege, so he hurried forward a few steps, controlled the ball, and then took the ball directly towards the goal.

Zikic was very happy. He didn't expect that in the second half, his team was entangled with the opponent for more than 20 minutes, and he could actually pick up such a good opportunity for himself.

Seeing that Zikic was single-handedly, Simonsen had to abandon the goal and try to stop the ball at Zikic's feet.

Zikic calmly picked up the ball and lobbed it!
Simonsen quickly stretched out his arms, ready to intercept the ball!

To Zigic's dismay, Simonsen's outstretched hands actually touched the ball, and he flew the ball directly.

However, the next scene made Zijiqi dumbfounded again!
The flying ball flew to the left side of the penalty area, where just as another Birmingham striker Malone arrived, he pushed the ball easily, and the ball rolled into the net pocket!

The ball went in!The football rolled into the goal by accident!

Sheffield United trails Birmingham 0:2!
This unexpected goal silenced all Blade fans!It also caused a sense of powerlessness in the hearts of all Sheffield United players.

I have tried my best, but I still can't change the fate of failure!Is this the will of God?
Looking at the football still rolling in the net pocket, Zhang Xu's teammates all sat down powerlessly on the ground. First, they were really tired, and their crazy play style exhausted their physical energy; second, because of such desperate efforts, Birmingham even scored a goal. Even though the goal was too unexpected, it was still a goal!Such an ending made it difficult for them to accept it psychologically for a while.

Zhang Xu is also very disappointed, but he will not give up, no matter how much the score is behind, he will not give up the game because of this!
He clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly: "Brothers, isn't it just a ball? They can score goals, so can we! Because we are the blades, we are the fearless blades!"

Encouraged by Zhang Xu, captain Beatty was the first to stand up, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have already fought to this point, let us go crazy for the last time! Fight!"

"Okay! Fight!"

"Fight it!" The teammates stood up one by one. Finally, everyone stood up and shouted loudly along with captain Beatty and Zhang Xu.

The game continues!

At this time, the game has entered the last ten minutes, and the physical fitness of all Sheffield United players is on the verge of collapse, but they still continue to sprint frequently on the court without reservation!

And the Blades fans at Bramall Lane, in order to cooperate with the team's final struggle, also tried their best to cheer for the team in the stands one by one.

Among them, some are waving team flags, even though their upper body is naked, they are still sweating profusely in the cold wind; some are singing the team's team anthem loudly, even if they are exhausted, they don't stop their singing;
On the court and in the stands, everyone is working hard, even desperately, for the team's victory!

Zhang Xu didn't know how many times such a touching scene appeared at Bramall Lane, but he believed that no matter which one, it should be an important game that can be recorded in the history of the team.

Zhang Xu's legs had already started to tremble. After seven to eight ten minutes of continuous struggle, no matter how abnormal his physical fitness was, he had already reached the verge of exhaustion.

However, he still supported his body and fought hard for the last possibility of the team. He always believed that Shuguang would show his charming smile because of his efforts.

Perhaps, God also couldn't bear to let Zhang Xu's hopes fail.

At No.805 minutes of the game, Zhang Xu finally saw a glimmer of light!
This was a ground attack by Birmingham. In a three-on-two, Zhang Xu, who quickly inserted, disrupted the position, and was then shoveled out by Zhang Xu.

The football rolled to Michael's feet. He took the ball left and right, and found that he couldn't break through Birmingham's defense at all, so he simply sent a long pass to Beatty's feet.

Cardwell, who was defending Beatty, also consumed a lot of energy. When defending Beatty, he was knocked to the ground by Beatty's brilliant moves.

Without the slightest hesitation, Beatty headed directly towards Birmingham's restricted area.

Murphy pressed forward, approaching Beatty cautiously.

Beatty slanted directly to the right, and after pulling out his position, he decisively kicked and shot!

It's a pity that Murphy had already judged Beatty's intentions. As soon as he stretched out his right foot, he blocked the shot football!
After the football was blocked, it rolled along Murphy's body and behind Murphy.

There, it happened to be a little to the right of the center of the Birmingham restricted area!

There, the surrounding area was empty, and there were no players within five meters.

Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, quickly turned around and started, ready to clear the ball!
However, when he turned around, he saw a Sheffield United player wearing a red jersey number 25 rushing towards him at high speed. Like a speeding F1 sports car, he came to the front of the football in the blink of an eye!
Then, under Murphy's horrified eyes, he shot a shocking kick!

"Bang!" After a loud noise, Murphy, who was close at hand, clearly saw that the football had been completely deformed by the kick, and then disappeared in front of his eyes like a cannonball.

When he turned his head to look for the football, he saw that the football had blown the white net high!

The ball is in!
The ball finally went in!
Sheffield United finally scored a crazy goal!
