Chapter 88 The Ipswich Miracle!
Chapter 88 The Ipswich Miracle! (5K!)
Elland Road Stadium!
The warm cheers seemed to penetrate the entire sky!
In the 95th minute of the game, the Fulham striker successfully created a penalty in the Leeds United penalty area, and then scored in one fell swoop, changing the score to 2:0!
The game between the two sides was not intense, with only five minutes of injury time in total.
This also means that Leeds United no longer has any chance to attack again and the score will be frozen!
In fact, this time the goal was not conceded intentionally by Leeds United players.
But under Bielsa's high-pressure tactics, after a season of wasted effort, the players' mental and physical strength have reached their limits.
But whatever the reason, Leeds United seems to have become the main contributor to helping Fulham maintain their top six position.
Leeds United is disliked by fans of many teams because of its playing style.
Fulham fans have Leeds United to thank.
Even Aston Villa fans have to thank Leeds United.
Because Aston Villa fans know very well that if they let Ipswich get into the top six, it will be difficult for them to make it through the play-offs.
Leeds United fans themselves did not utter any abuse about the loss of this game.
Because they are also among the top six teams and need to participate in the play-offs.
On the contrary, Bielsa has been letting the team attack today, which has caused dissatisfaction among many Leeds United fans.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, it seemed that everything was frozen.
Miracle, strangled.
Domestic live broadcast room.
Netizens have already opened the champagne at this moment.
[Hahaha! Fulham fan for life! ]
[I feel good. I almost thought I was going to let this guy pretend.]
[Although I don't like Song Liuzi, he really fought hard in today's game. What a pity.]
[It can only be said that evil will be punished by evil. If Song Ze hadn't made everyone his enemy, how could it be like this now? 】
And on Hupu's real-time ratings, Song Wen's ratings also showed an electrocardiogram.
One of the users, a true fan named Song Wen, initially left a rating in the comment section.
【Song Wen: 10 points. He saved the collapsing building and turned the tide! Song Wen is the best player I have ever seen in the 21st century. He can always appear in the key position at the critical moment and score the key goal to become the key man! He went against the wind when no one was optimistic about him! In minutes, he scored three goals and made one assist, helping the Tractor Boys successfully enter the promotion zone! It is no exaggeration for the Ipswich players to call him the savior and God! Tonight, the Villa Park Stadium will play the song of victory! Tonight, Birmingham City will stage the Ipswich miracle! 】
But this highly praised comment was deleted just one minute later.
Soon, Song Wen’s true fan posted another rating.
[Song Wen: 0 points. If he hadn't been suspended for six games, he would have advanced long ago. If he hadn't disgusted other clubs every day, he wouldn't have been besieged by everyone. It can only be said that no matter how good your sportsmanship is, it depends on your character. Song Ze deserves it. ]
Later, his nickname was changed from Song Wen's true love fan to Song Liuzi's lifelong hater.
-
Birmingham City.
Villa Park Stadium.
The thunderous cheers were still going on.
But the news outside the stadium quickly spread among the fans.
They didn't even have time to subside the excitement on their faces, but their hearts had already sunk to the bottom.
Song Wen's near-game-winning shot should have created a miracle that would go down in football history.
But Fulham's last-minute goal seemed to end everything in regret.
McCarthy on the sidelines was still jumping up and down excitedly, but he soon received news from assistant coach Connor.
Fulham scored.
Now, they only need one more goal to break into the promotion zone!
And they only have less than two minutes! !
With two minutes left, the opponent still has the ball. It is almost a fantasy to score another goal!
The players on the field didn't know what was happening at this time and were celebrating excitedly around Song Wen.
McCarthy looked at his young men cheering so sincerely that his nose suddenly felt sore and the old man almost shed tears.
McCarthy really didn't want to tell them the bad news when they were so happy.
He even thought that if he ended it like this, at least this kind of happiness could continue for a few more minutes.
Song Wen was already half-squatting on the lawn with his hands on his knees, panting so hard that his face turned pale.
In this game, he has helped the team score four goals!
His run in the second half almost never stopped!
But McCarthy knew he had to tell everyone the bad news.
When Song Wen looked up, he saw McCarthy looking at him with a complicated expression.
He slowly stood up, knowing what was happening without even having to talk, and just held up a finger.
McCarthy nodded helplessly.
After getting the answer, Song Wen turned around and walked towards the goal again, silently picking the ball out of Aston Villa's goal.
At this moment, the stadium with tens of thousands of people was as silent as a library.
Sky Sports UK.
After seeing Song Wen's actions, the commentator spoke in a heavy voice:
"Song, he once again took the ball out of Aston Villa's goal and walked towards the center circle. This is the fourth time he has done this in this game. I can't imagine his emotions now, but what I want to say is that every time he bent down, it was for the next time he would be able to straighten his spine again on the turf of Villa Park!"
"There were only two minutes left in the game, but he still didn't give up! Maybe fate is always unfair, but this young man, who is only seventeen years old, is telling us with his actions that he can bend down for a goal, but he will never bend down to fate!"
"Guys! The last two minutes! Let's continue to watch this game with our full attention!"
“Maybe, a miracle is on the way!”
When Song Wen put the ball back on the kick-off spot, all the Ipswich players reacted.
They quickly returned to their positions, and although they were cursing, the fighting spirit in their eyes was even stronger.
Aston Villa players looked at each other in confusion.
The young man was already sweating profusely and his face was pale.
But for that glimmer of hope, he still chose to fight until the last moment.
Even as opponents, the Aston Villa players now showed a little respect for Song Wensheng.
"Control the tempo! Control the tempo! Losing the ball is a direct foul!"
The Aston Villa coach's shouts were played in a loop on the sidelines like a loudspeaker.
Although they have great respect for Song Wen's actions, as professional players and for their own future prospects, they have to adopt some tactics on the court.
For example, procrastination.
Start lacing your shoes.
Start organizing your socks.
Seeing that time was running out, Bakuna simply lay on the ground and said he had a leg cramp.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The game time reached ninety-seven minutes.
The final stages of injury time.
Although the referee said he was always keeping track of the time, the time would always be less than that of a normal game.
Song Wen gave Da Laohei a look.
After receiving the order from the farmer, Big Black immediately walked towards Bakuna who was holding the grass without caring about his relatives.
This Irish miracle doctor of African descent skillfully inserted his hands into Bakuna's armpits.
He received a yellow card for this.
But Bacuna was cured in a split second.
The game for Fulham was over, and McCarthy called on the goalkeeper to join the offensive line from the sidelines.
At this moment, if they can't score another goal, then any other possibility will be meaningless for Ipswich.
The referee blew the whistle and Aston Villa kicked off from the center circle. Pittman rushed forward and chose to foul without hesitation.
They couldn't give Aston Villa a chance to pass the ball back. Aston Villa continued to kick off, and Ipswich continued to foul!
As Ipswich continued to commit fouls, Aston Villa kept passing the ball backwards, and quickly a minute passed.
However, Aston Villa had already reached the very backfield at this time, and they could only choose to kick the ball forward.
When Buck took a free kick from the backcourt, the ball flew towards Ipswich's half, and Song Wen turned around and chased after it.
Naturally, he couldn't catch up with this long pass.
He's gambling.
The bet is that their backcourt players can grab the long pass and go back to receive it early.
Chambers saw Song Wen running towards his defense line.
At this moment, the tired body seemed to burst out with endless power. Chambers' feet were like nails stuck firmly on the grass, holding back the forward Amavi next to him.
The muscles in his thighs swelled instantly at this moment, and then he jumped high!
A header pass!
Song Wen's all-out sprint had already broken free of Aston Villa's defense. After easily taking the ball off the court, he passed it to Sears who was waiting on the side. He then burst out at his maximum speed again and rushed forward!
Sears ran with the ball for a while, and after attracting the defense of an enemy player, he passed the ball back to Song Wen who was running wildly.
However, he seemed to have not estimated Song Wen's speed at this moment, and gave too little lead time, making it very uncomfortable for Song Wen to receive the ball, causing his stride to become disordered and he staggered a few steps.
Aston Villa's two defensive midfielders Bacuna and Lansbury naturally would not miss this opportunity. They surrounded and blocked Song Wen's way forward in an instant.
Song Wen picked up the ball and it passed through the gap between the two players, but Bakuna and Lansbury had already surrounded them, and the position between them made it impossible for a person to pass through, so it was obvious that you couldn't get past them.
Song Wen gritted his teeth!
The power of the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt was only used at this moment.
He just felt as if there was endless power surging throughout his body!
"Song Wen! Facing the pincer attack from two men, he simply pushed the two big men away! And even his speed was not affected at all!"
Song Wen passed the two men, but defender Chester had already arrived in front of him!
Looking at the ball still in the air, Chester raised his foot without thinking!
This action is very dangerous.
Because if Song Wen didn't dodge, he would most likely kick Song Wen directly in the chest!
But behind him was his own restricted area!
But Chester didn't expect that Song Wen would not even try to avoid it!
And he obviously underestimated the terrifying explosive speed that Song Wen could achieve in ninety-seven minutes!
Before Chesta's foot arrived, Song Wen had already pushed the ball forward with his chest!
And Chesta's foot kicked directly on Song Wen's shoulder!
Song Wen was kicked and staggered. The referee was about to blow the whistle, but Song Wen still protected the ball and rushed into Aston Villa's penalty area!
Defenders Buck and Brie rushed up immediately to coordinate the defense. Song Wen twisted his right ankle and seemed to be about to shoot, but it turned out to be a fake shot and a real pass, which was directly passed to McGoldrick on the other side!
Aston Villa's penalty area was already heavily defended at this time. Even though Song Wen attracted fire from many people, there was still a defender in front of McGoldrick, leaving him with little space to shoot.
And because there were so many feet in the penalty area, Song Wen's pass was touched by someone in the chaos, causing McGoldrick to feel a little uncomfortable holding the ball.
But McGoldrick knew that if he didn't stand up now, he would have no chance!
"Song Wen passed the ball to McGoldrick! But the pass was disrupted! McGoldrick chose to shoot! This ball! Ouch!! This goalkeeper! The goalkeeper is possessed!!"
As Zhan Jun sighed with regret, there were bursts of gasps and exclamations on the court.
McGoldrick's shot was saved by the goalkeeper with an almost impossible reaction!
In fact, McGoldrick had already made the best shooting angle at this moment.
His shot went through the defender's crotch and blocked the goalkeeper's vision.
And it was a very tricky long kick.
But Aston Villa's goalkeeper seemed to be assisted by God. He knelt down at the first moment to prevent the ball from slipping under his crotch, but his other foot was stretched out and his right foot just blocked McGoldrick's shot!
But the crisis in front of the door was not actually resolved!
Because the goalkeeper didn't get the ball!
Aston Villa goalkeeper Johnstone used his hands to support himself and move his body a little, then he was about to kick the ball out!
But at the same time he raised his foot, a figure suddenly glided over on the ground like a fish!
After passing the ball, Song Wen was completely exhausted, lost balance, and knelt on the ground.
But when he saw the opponent's goalkeeper blocked the ball, his body moved subconsciously!
“Song Wen!!”
"Oh!!!"
There was an earth-shaking cry of surprise at Villa Park!
Song Wen dived forward and headed the ball.
But at the same time, Johnstone's foot had already kicked over!
The ball rolled forward after being pushed by Song Wen!
But Johnstone’s kick also landed right on Song Wen’s head!
Bright red blood instantly burst out from Song Wen's forehead, but he had no time to feel the pain, his eyes were fixed on the front!
Until I saw the ball completely cross the goal line!!
"Goal!!!!"
The live commentator almost burst into shouting at the top of his lungs!
The entire stadium fell into an eerie silence once again.
Song Wen wiped the blood from the corner of his forehead, staggered to his feet, and under the puzzled gazes of countless people, he walked into the net again and picked up the ball.
He held the ball in his arms. The ball was already covered with grass and mud, and was now stained with the blood from Song Wen's hand.
Song Wen came to the sidelines holding the ball, roared, and then kicked the ball into the audience seats!
"boom!!!"
At this moment, all the fans in the stadium seemed to have just woken up from a dream!
"song!"
"song!"
"song!"
Deafening cheers resounded throughout the venue!
The tractor boys rushed madly towards the savior.
McCarthy's eyes were wet and he threw himself into Song Wen's arms without caring about his image!
Sky Sports UK.
The commentator's voice was almost hoarse.
"OMG! Song! This game is so thrilling! Song! Look at this 17-year-old boy! He did it! He did what no one else could do! I believe that any fan will never forget tonight!"
“Will never forget – the Ipswich Miracle!”
Fan Zhiyi’s live broadcast room.
As a man of sentiment, Lao Fan was choked with sobs and could not utter a word.
As a former professional player, Fan Zhiyi can better empathize with the feelings at this moment.
Not to mention Fan Zhiyi, even his friend was a little moved at this moment.
Zhan Jun, the only professional commentator in the audience, also tried hard to hold back his tears and said:
"The ball goes in!"
"Ninety-eight minutes and forty-five seconds into the game! Song Wen! He scored an absolutely killer goal!"
"He led Ipswich into the promotion zone and kept the hope of promotion to the Premier League alive again!"
"Song Wen! This player! Even if my head is broken and bleeding, I will definitely send the ball into your goal!"
Zhan Jun sighed and continued:
"I believe that tonight will be a sleepless night for countless fans. This game, I think even many years later, will still become a classic game that many fans talk about. It's amazing! It's magical! This is a miracle for Ipswich! This is a miracle for Song Wen!"
Li Tie, who was sitting between the two men, was also deeply moved by them at this moment.
He definitely has to say something to show his understanding and love for football.
However, just as he was about to speak, he saw Song Wen in the picture suddenly leave the crowd and slowly walk in front of the camera.
His hand slowly reached for his collar.
Li Tie's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.
This premonition even made him subconsciously escape from the live broadcast room at this moment.
But Li Tie still hesitated.
The boy with blood on his face had torn off his jersey in front of the camera, revealing the vest underneath.
On the vest, there is a DIY anime character.
He was a man with long hair and a stern face.
Sitting on a stool, pedaling the sewing machine.
