Chapter 26 Right at This Moment!

In the first half, it was easy to lead by two goals, and the coach of the other team was taken off the field. The players in Preston thought that there was nothing to play in the game, and they would definitely be the final winner. The difference was only a few goals.

At half-time, the atmosphere in Preston was quite lively.

Among them, some are discussing the opponents in the next round, some are discussing tomorrow's holiday, and some are discussing whether to celebrate in the evening, but no one is discussing about the game, and they all think that the game is no suspense.

The opposing coaches are all gone, what else is there to play in the game?

They are all fairly easy.

The second half of the game was about to start, and they didn't take it seriously at all when they saw the Derby County players looking excited.

They don't think Derby County has a chance to make a comeback.

...

Many Derby County fans in the audience left early, especially in the east stand, where many seats were vacated. Obviously, these fans did not want to see their favorite team lose the game, so they left early.

Even the fans still staying at the stadium have little hope for the next game.

They thought the same as the Preston players. They were two goals behind in the first half, and the manager Gregory was gone. What chance could there be in the second half?

Thinking of this, Derby County fans are heartbroken.

Their team has gone several games in a row without a win, and all season, the team's performance has been poor, they have been teetering on the edge of the relegation circle for a long time, they want the team to have good results, but they get it every time. is bad news.

Even if there is a victory...

But there hasn't been a win in the last month, it's all been a draw, it's been a defeat, and now they're about to face another defeat.

Derby County fans are languid, they just want to see a little hope, hope that the team will improve, but what they see now is that the team is getting closer and closer to relegation. If they lose this game, they will really enter the relegation circle.

Relegated...that's unthinkable.

If we return to the English Second Division, who knows when the team will be able to rush to the First Division again, in a few years? Decades? The devil knows! Before the season, they even had hopes of being promoted to the Premier League, but now they have to face the crisis that the team is likely to be relegated. This contrast is so great that many fans have the urge to vomit blood just thinking about it.

"If you lose this game, you don't know what will happen to the team."

"Maybe it's going to be downgraded..."

"Don't say that! There must be hope for the team. Maybe that young Chinese man can create a miracle?"

Someone brought it up.

But almost everyone around them shook their heads silently, counting on a Chinese assistant coach in his twenties? That's not as good as expecting God to come to Derbyshire.

Derby County is not a big team, but it is not too small in League One, but now they are on the verge of being relegated. Just thinking about it makes the fans feel aggrieved.

How did that happen?

"Can't you just watch the game lose and watch the team get relegated?" Someone asked this question sadly, but no one answered.

So silently, everyone sat in their seats, watching the game with dazed eyes.

...

Five minutes into the second half.

Many Derby County fans refocused their attention back on the game because they saw a different Derby County team from the first half. This Derby County team did not have much defense and seemed to be attacking all the time, constantly attacking.

In five minutes, this is already the fourth wave of attacks, right?

When will the team be able to play such a fast and threatening offense? Some fans suddenly realized that something was wrong, but they concentrated all their energy on watching the game, so they didn't think much about it.

But Derby County's backcourt crisis is even bigger!

It’s hard to say whether the offense can make a breakthrough, but every time Preston attacks, Derby County fans will palpitate for a while-they are afraid that Preston will score again, and Derby County seems to be undefended in the backcourt. With every advance, it was easy to put the ball into the Derby County box, and then it was likely to be followed by a shot.

The fans were horrified by the game.

Fortunately, Derby County's attack is also good. They seem to have survived in the attack. With two consecutive waves of attack, they also entered the Preston penalty area.

This is another wave of rapid progress!

On the left flank, Ferdinand cooperated with his teammates, then transferred the ball to the flank, and the right midfielder Weberson received the pass and quickly moved forward.

Webberson is a fast player!

At half-time, Wan Sheng explained that he should use his speed more and find opportunities to complete the pass after breaking through the baseline. Weberson has also been trying to do this, but his foot skills are very general. He was beaten by the opponent twice just now. Broken.

This time he was still trying to do it.

The opponent's player came to intercept, and Webberson suddenly saw the opportunity and made a small change to the left. Just when the opponent was still about to break through, he kicked the ball directly to the penalty area in the middle!

Many people were stunned.

The referees on the court, the players on both sides, the fans in the audience, and various media, they did not expect Webberson to complete the pass, and the pass was very accurate.

But Wansheng did not.

The reason why he especially told Weberson and asked the team to mainly play on his right side was that he knew that his speed and long-distance passing ability were not bad.

When he saw Weberson complete the pass, Wansheng also stood up suddenly!

He used so much force that the players next to him were startled.

At the same moment, the football had fallen from the sky in front of the Preston penalty area. When Weberson passed the ball just now, many people were surprised that he could pass the ball, but Ian Taylor did not. He has been waiting for an opportunity. Whenever his teammates kicked the ball, he would rush into the penalty area.

He always remembered what Wan Sheng said, "Put in more and trust your teammates."

Opportunity is now at hand!

The Preston defense did not expect Ian Taylor to intervene so decisively. They could only watch Taylor stand on the football landing point and stop the ball with one foot.

They rushed to the defense.

But after all, their reaction was a moment slow, and this moment gave Ian Taylor a chance!

This is the opportunity he has been looking for!

He was a little excited.

Not only Taylor, who had the ball, but everyone on the Derby County bench, as well as all the fans at Pride Park, got excited.

Their attention is on Taylor!

...

When Taylor stopped the ball, the on-site commentator Alfie reacted. He suddenly exclaimed, "Webberson has a good kick! Taylor received a pass in front of the penalty area!"

His voice is loud.

Those fans and media who didn't notice the game also raised their heads with this shout, and they all looked at the stadium in surprise.

The same goes for Derby County fans.

There were also fans who didn't pay attention to the game just now, but with this shout, they noticed that Derby County actually created a good chance.

Many people thought they were wrong.

In the second half, although Derby County's offense was fierce, it didn't create any perfect chances. More importantly, they didn't think the team could score goals. They all waited for the game to be over.

This is real?

They were all quite surprised.

...

on the coach's bench.

Wan Sheng gritted his teeth and stared at the Preston penalty area with his eyes fixed.

Although Ian Taylor is old, he used to be the legendary stadium of Aston Villa. As a frontcourt star, his shooting evaluation is very good. The evaluation value of '79 points' almost reaches League One. The pinnacle of level players.

More importantly, he also has a firm rating of '81 points'.

Firmness reflects a player's game mentality, the desire to win, the pursuit of honor, etc. are all included. A player with high firmness, even if his strength is low, can often play very well in the game.

Now Derby County is two goals behind. In the eyes of many people, it is hopeless to win. Players with high "firm" evaluation are more important. This is also the reason why Taylor's physical fitness can not keep up, but Wansheng still did not replace him.

Taylor, will definitely fight to the end for the team!

Now in this moment!

...

Taylor's situation is not very good.

He was in front of the penalty area line, taking advantage of the stoppage time, and the surrounding Preston defenders had already pushed over, but Taylor was experienced and fairly calm.

He knew this was a great opportunity!

After stopping the ball, Taylor chose to take the ball to the left, leaving space for himself to shoot, but then he chose to break into the penalty area to the left, and Press, who came to defend. The Duncan player didn't expect him to do this at all, and as a result, he was two positions away from him.

At this moment, Taylor kicked up!

The football flew from Taylor's feet, jumped over the Preston goalkeeper's side, and went straight to the back of the goal!

Everyone stared at the ball with wide eyes.

The Preston goalkeeper looked back at the football. He failed to block the shot, so he could only hope that the football would rush out of the bottom line, but what he saw was that the football slammed into the net against the goal post.

Time seemed to stop.

The Pride Stadium was quiet for a moment, and the next moment broke out with the most violent cheers since the opening--

Derby County scored!

Really got in!

They are only one goal behind!
