Football: the history of the first ball

After Xiao Jian thought about it, he quickly did two things.

First, he sternly said to the Dutch referee in fluent Dutch: "Dear Mr. Referee, everything they are doing now is delaying the game. I hope you can be tough and stop their delaying behavior. And, they You must pay us back double the time you delayed.”

This is because he, as captain, creates pressure on the referee.

Seeing that Xiao Jian can speak Dutch is Xiao Jian's respect for him.

Because Xiao Jian must have checked his information and knew that he was an immigrant from the Netherlands.

The referee still agreed with Xiao Jian's statement.

However, he still said with a dark face: "I make my own judgment."

In fact, he already knew that the Grimsby Town team was delaying the game.

This referee's penalties in the past have been relatively mild, but delays are something no referee can tolerate.

Especially when the game is about to end, the trailing side will be desperate. If the referee cannot control the opponent's delaying tactics, it is likely to lead to a big conflict.

Next, Xiao Jian went around to advise the players not to fight or push their opponents.

After completing these two points, the game has reached the 41st minute of the second half.

Sure enough, after the game resumed, the referee changed his relatively gentle style and began to severely crack down on the Greensby Town team's lying behavior.

First, Manchester City got the ball and a Greensby Town player fell to the ground. The referee pretended not to see it as if he was blind and allowed him to scream loudly on the ground.

As long as he doesn't stop playing, Manchester City will attack desperately, but this player can only get up dejectedly to participate in the defense when he sees bad things.

But after the ball died, the referee would immediately come over and give him a yellow card.

The Grimsby Town team found that the cramped and lying on the grass strategy no longer worked.

Manchester City took the opportunity to launch a fast break. In the 44th minute, Sun Jihai assisted from the right. He played a 2-1 with David Silva, then went straight to the bottom line and passed near the bottom line.

The ball was passed so high and fast that even Xiao Jian couldn't hit it.

The ball crossed the penalty area and was intercepted by Foden outside the penalty area.

Foden deftly cuts inside, then inside again.

He cut inside two Grimsby Town players, made a false shot and passed the ball to Xiao Jian in the penalty area.

At this time, there are really too many people shooting, and there is only a chance to pass the ball in the air.

The ball was very high, Xiao Jian flew up, and his body leaned back, which immediately shocked the goalkeeper and defenders. This was an overhead shot.

The ball was too high. Xiao Jian's feet in the air were already above everyone's heads. It was impossible to block the ball.

We can only try our best to defend the goal.

Xiao Jian's overhead kick was fast, powerful and had a tricky angle.

This is a masterclass overhead kick.

At the moment of shooting, no one knew the direction he was going to shoot.

There was a muffled sound, and the ball rushed directly to the upper left corner of the goal like a shooting star.

The defensive player jumped up desperately, only to feel a chill on his scalp as the ball had been shot into the net.

4 is better than 4

Manchester City finally equalized the score.

Both sides played a 3:1 match at home. If this is the result, then both sides will play time games.

No one wants to play overtime.

Manchester City wanted to end the fight in the 90th minute.

The Grimsby Town team's physical exertion has also reached the limit. If overtime is played, it will be more disastrous for them.

So Tang Yingqi waved his arms and loudly encouraged the players to attack.

After Greensby Town got the ball in the 45th minute, their courage burst out. They grabbed the ball and the frontcourt players pressed forward.

This is a very daring adventure.

Otherwise, the Grimsby Town team, which is at its physical limit, will not be able to continue playing overtime.

Therefore, Tang Yingqi called on the players to attack with all their strength.

It's best if you can advance. If you can't advance, you can also use offense instead of defense.

The opponent's sudden attack really caught Manchester City off guard.

The opponent who had been hunting suddenly launched a massive attack.

Moreover, their passing and cutting was very fast. Their forward Bill, who was not slow, happened to be offside and successfully ran with the ball.

Stones chased after Bill and saw him stumbling and about to enter the penalty area.

Stones used a tackle and hook and intercepted the ball while falling down.

Bill rushed out, but the ball was gone.

But Bill was exhausted. He really cramped and fell to the ground screaming for a penalty kick.

But the referee didn't say anything.

Stones stood up and passed the ball directly towards the opponent's penalty area.

Xiao Jian has been waiting for this opportunity.

He took one look at the trajectory and force of the ball in the sky, and then ran desperately towards the landing point he judged. He didn't look at the ball, but he believed in his judgment.

Everyone saw Xiao Jian shooting forward like an arrow, but he didn't look at the football in the sky. But after the football fell, it was right in front of him.

The landing point was on the line of the penalty area. Xiao Jian raised his right foot and volleyed hard because this was a rare opening.

The ball suddenly shot out again, and the goalkeeper reached the maximum of his reflexes. He jumped in the air and smashed the ball with his fist.

But the ball was so fast that it missed the target by just a little bit, but it had already entered the goal.

5 is better than 4

The entire Manchester City fans went crazy.

His grandma finally scored a goal.

This was a goal scored in overtime.

The Grimsby Town team was finally finished, they were killed by Xiao Jian.

The powerful shot just now was Barty's standard powerful volley action, reaching a speed of 190 kilometers per hour. Xiao Jian roared and ran to the side of the auditorium, shooting with both hands as if he was holding a gun, paying tribute to Barty.

The extremely excited teammates also ran over, and everyone transformed into excited commandos holding AK47s and shooting together.

On the sidelines, Tang Yingqi kept shaking his head in frustration.

If it hadn't been for Xiao Jian's appearance, he would have been 90% sure of winning the game and creating a historic miracle for the Grimsby Town team.

But at this moment, he knew that the team had no chance.

All the players were like warriors who had used up their last bullets. They tried their best and had no ability to prevent Manchester City from winning.

Sure enough, in the last five minutes of overtime, the Grimsby Town team obviously lost their energy.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, De Bruyne passed the ball to Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian passed the ball to Harland, and Harland shot into the net from the small penalty area. From then on, the game lost any suspense.

In the end, Manchester City eliminated Grimsby Town with a total score of 6 to 4 and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Gua Shuai let out a long sigh of relief.

At the end of the game, Tang Yingqi shook hands with Gua Shuai politely.

Gua Shuai patted Tang Yingqi's elbow: "Tang, you played very well. The players are all fighters. You are an excellent general."

Tang Yingqi smiled politely: "Thank you, congratulations on entering the semi-finals."

After the two separated, Tang Yingqi encouraged the soldiers of his team who walked off the field: "Guys, look up, you played well, you are the pride of our Grimsby Town team. He kept applauding."

He hugged the players one by one.

At this time, more than a thousand fans of the Greensby Town team were also applauding, and some players even had tears in their eyes.

With the ball played like this, fans all know that this is the limit of what Grimsby Town can do.

Even many Manchester City fans have to admire this second division team for allowing them to experience a near-death experience.

Just when Tang Yingqi and the players were about to walk into the tunnel, a voice suddenly called him, "Coach Tang."
