Chapter 232 Crisis
Chapter 232 Crisis
There are less than ten minutes left in the regular game time.
If Sun Yan seizes this opportunity, it could very well be the winning goal of the game.
The only worry is that, as a full-back who only occasionally goes up to assist in the attack, he played for Burton for two seasons and scored no more than five goals in total.
His shooting will only be worse than Matias'.
Sun Yan himself was also feeling a little uneasy at this moment.
This was the first time he had ever heard so many fans chanting his name at the same time!
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I think I heard my cousin's voice again?
He didn't see anyone, but the thought of it immediately cheered him up.
"He's getting closer and closer to the goal!"
"His ability to sprint at high speed at this time shows that he has excellent endurance."
"However, Chelsea's defenders will probably not be able to get past the coach when they go back, as they made the same mistake twice."
The commentator is also on edge, but is currently in a relatively normal state of mind.
Clearly, subconsciously he didn't think the ball could go in.
Using players to do things they're not used to can certainly be surprising, but whether it can lead to victory is another matter.
To everyone's surprise, Sun Yan himself did not run towards the goal.
Kepa was ready to attack, but the kid tricked him and ran straight to the byline inside the penalty area.
"He's going to pass in a triangular pass!"
"Pay attention to two things!"
"Kepa has lost his position!"
Sari immediately realized the other party's intention and shouted in a panic, no longer caring about his image.
If you pass the ball back, and there's an opposing player there, it's almost guaranteed to be a goal.
Chelsea's defenders are experienced and, without needing any prompting, had already tried to block Sun Yan's passing lanes after seeing his actions.
But Sun Yan didn't even turn around. After running to his position, he swept the ball directly towards the middle.
His job was never to score one-on-one chances, but to get the ball to where it was supposed to be.
As for the players who were there to receive the pass...
David Luiz came on as a substitute!
His stamina is still high, and his masterful late runs give him a significant advantage when attacking for second balls.
Throughout the entire offensive sequence, Burton was the only one who kept up with Sun Yan, while Quinn was there to draw away the defensive players in the middle.
"very good!"
"Now! Shoot!"
David Lewis was facing a nearly empty net, which made Li Yanqing lose control of himself.
Matthias's shot was unreliable, and Sun Yan's shot was also unreliable.
Surely this afro-haired defender with all his offensive skills can be relied on?
At least that's what Li Yanqing thought.
The player didn't hesitate much; the instant the ball flew towards him, he raised his right leg high...
Then, a black figure flashed past him!
It's Kante!
[Master-level Interception] and [Master-level Cover] were activated simultaneously, and David Luiz was completely unaware, sending the ball out of bounds!
"He was still several body lengths short!"
"what happened!"
"Isn't he still guarding against Quinn?"
Almost no one noticed when he arrived next to David Luiz; there were about a dozen players in the penalty area, all doing their own tasks.
Sun Yan's dribbling to the byline and passing the ball in a triangular pass avoided the problem of his weak shooting, but it also gave the opponent time to adjust.
"That's why I had Quinn go up and disrupt him, to create space for David to shoot!"
"He did a great job. Who knows when Kant got there?"
Li Yanqing found it hard to accept this fact.
Since I started coaching, I've never had my tactics completely disrupted by an opposing player single-handedly, but now that's exactly what's happened.
There are no insurmountable obstacles, only insurmountable challenges.
Now he fully understands that sentence.
The good news is that Burton still has possession of the ball, so there's no need to worry about a counterattack from the opponent.
"Alright, we can now prepare for overtime."
Li Yanqing covered his head. Although he still had one substitution spot left, he was having a lot of trouble deciding how to use it.
He was planning to substitute Ibrahimovic after scoring, and then bring on Pepe to strengthen the defense.
The situation is completely different now. The game is still a draw, and they still need the former to play a role on the field, even though he is exhausted.
At least it can still serve as an air defense tower.
However, the soaring injury rate among players is something he cannot ignore.
"How about we go to Murphy?"
"If he were to go for a one-on-one situation, things would go much more smoothly..."
Lyman's voice trailed off as he spoke.
He was certainly aware of the pressure the players were under in this match.
If Murphy plays, the opponent will focus on marking him closely. Forget about one-on-one opportunities; it would be good enough if he didn't get frustrated by being marked so closely.
That's why Li Yanqing decided to try a surprise attack, but ultimately failed.
Now it's time for them to pay the price.
"It's alright, the other side is also having stamina issues."
"Just look at the final moments of their battle to see."
"We may not necessarily be at a disadvantage."
Navee then expressed his opinion.
He has always been a confident person, even if he is somewhat blind to it.
After arriving in Burton, things didn't improve; in fact, he went blind.
"We're in danger now, Neville!"
"Leaving aside the lack of experience in overtime, look at the current personnel configuration; this arrangement was originally intended to finish the game within 90 minutes!"
Lyman found it hard to understand why this kid was still so excited.
Although Chelsea dominated the attack for most of the game, Burton's defensive midfielders and defenders frequently switched positions in order to defend effectively.
The full-backs, on the other hand, will keep pushing forward whenever they have the chance, using more running to create defensive space.
So in terms of physical exertion, they are actually about the same, with Burton's players in some positions actually being more tired.
Now, players like Ibrahimovic, Enzo, and Lars Bender are all starting to struggle to keep up.
"No, I think Neville has a point."
“We still have someone we can rely on.”
After a moment of silence, Li Yanqing finally spoke, but unexpectedly, he supported Nawei.
"You're blind too?" Lyman exclaimed in shock.
"No, it's hard for me to explain."
You'll find out soon enough...
