Chapter 57 Slow Down
At 23 minutes into the game, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the referee blew the whistle for a substitution.
The whistle was loud and clear, but it was so harsh to Wayne's ears.
He walked down the court in despair, but just as he took a few steps, a pair of big hands pinned his shoulders.
"It was me who was replaced."
Abdu said lightly, then glanced at Wayne, didn't say anything, but jogged towards the sidelines.
Wayne looked at Abdu's back in astonishment, a little confused.
On the sideline, Yi Le and Abdu high-fived.
"give it to you."
"rest assured!"
Yi Le squatted down and patted the shin guards, then strode towards the field.
Yi Le came near the middle circle, he glanced at Wayne, and then waved to Apson.
Apson ran over in a hurry.
"easy..."
Apson yelled with a friendly face, like a daughter-in-law who was alone in her boudoir.
Yi Le couldn't help laughing: "Leave the offense to me."
Apson smiled, patted his chest, and said, "Defense is mine!"
boom!
The two bumped their fists lightly.
After Yi Le played the entire Millwall, the rhythm took on a new look, and the previous decadence was changed, which can be seen from the expression eager to try.
…
Yi Le's appearance is not good news for Reading.
The entire Championship has been conducting research on the Chinese, but no team has successfully blocked him.
"I used to keep an eye on that Chinese man." Lin Moheta said with a serious face.
Yi Le is not that immature Portuguese. The reason why Millwall's midfielder is so strong is the seemingly harmless Chinese in front of him.
Bournemouth couldn't defend the Chinese, and Lin Moheta was not confident that he could defend successfully.
But at the very least, it should be limited.
In Reading's half-court area, Williams threw a football. He feinted and threw it directly to Wayne who came to meet him.
After Wayne got the ball, the opponent's defensive player rushed over.
Seeing the bear-like figure sprinting towards him, the Portuguese boy panicked instantly.
At this moment, his head was full of... Yi! easy! Where is Yi? I should find Yi!
"Wayne!!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.
The voice was so heavenly that Wayne almost cried.
Wayne turned around and kicked the ball in the direction of Yi Le.
And Yi Le stopped the football steadily, but he did not rush out of the ball, but stretched his hands forward and made a slow downward movement.
The previous rhythm was too chaotic, and the players of Millwall were also a little impatient. What is needed at this time is to slow down the rhythm a little, not to attack immediately.
Yi Le took a few steps to pass the ball, and then handed it to Gein on the left. Gein took a few steps forward and found that there was no good chance, so he made a pass back again.
Woolford took the ball, and two Reading midfielders rushed towards him extremely quickly.
Woolford can only make a long pass transfer before rushing.
However, due to the problem of interference, the landing point of the football is a bit off.
The football flew in the direction of Reading's Lin Moheta.
Seeing this pass, Lin Moheta was overjoyed and stuck in his position. He would never give the ball to Yi Le.
But Yi Le obviously won't give up either.
When the football was about to hit the ground, Yi Le arched forward with all his strength.
But Lin Moheta took a step forward under the impetus.
This step is Yi Le's opportunity.
The football fell slowly, and both of them wanted to compete for the landing point.
But under the impetus of that moment, Lin Moheta actually lost the opportunity.
But his reaction was extremely quick. He grabbed Yi Le's jersey in an instant and pulled it forward fiercely.
I can't catch the ball, and neither can you.
The two immediately huddled together and left the first landing point one after another.
But at this moment, Yi Le bent his calf, and the calf just reached the landing point.
The football made intimate contact with Yi Le's calf, and rolled to Yi Le's feet like a good boy.
This stop made the whole scene suddenly quiet, and then a huge cheer broke out.
"Imaginative stopping of the ball, Yi used his soft calf to unload the ball. This ball stopped very steadily, showing Yi's excellent foot skills."
Pesoto couldn't help admiring loudly. Yi Le surprised him as soon as he played. Sure enough, he still likes to watch Yi Le's game.
This stop made the scene jubilant, and it also caused the fans to boil in the Chinese live broadcast room.
"Nimma! What kind of fairy ball feeling!"
"Don't look at the ball and stop the ball? How can this be done?"
"The British sports media said that Yi Le can stop the ball with any part of his body, and now I finally believe it!"
"It's pleasing to the eye, it's too comfortable to stop the ball."
"This is worthy of the core players of the British Championship, bull!"
"Bull X!!!"
Chinese fans are an extremely satisfied group. After countless disappointments, they have learned to be self-satisfied, and a little surprise can cheer them up.
"The pace seems to have slowed down."
"Yi Le keeps pouring the ball, is he adjusting?"
"The two forwards in the frontcourt also don't seem to be penetrating much."
"Passive game?"
Faced with fans' doubts, finally a professional fan came out to popularize science.
"Yi Le's approach is very correct. In the previous game, Millwall played too chaotically. Even if Yi Le just came up, it was very difficult to connect every player. Therefore, he used the way of pouring the ball, letting go Slow down the pace and try to calm the eager emotions of the players."
"The midfielder is not just passing the ball, he also needs to control the rhythm and observe the situation of each player."
"There is a saying in the football world that first-class defenders and forwards can be cultivated, but midfielders are special."
"A good midfielder can make a huge difference to the team, just like Pirlo's Juventus, Harvey's Barcelona, these midfield masters not only observe the situation on the field but also observe the emotions of the players, This is a unique talent!"
Faced with such a comment, Chinese fans said they could not understand it.
"It seems to be a very powerful Yazi!"
"Swipe 666 and you're done."
"It's dead, so it's like this!"
"Yoho, someone who knows how to play football."
"Yeah, yes, that's it."
"It's another feast for a group of fake football masters!"
"My Erha said that it also understands."
"..."
…
Millwall kept pouring the ball, and the Reading players could only chase aimlessly.
As the rhythm slowed down, the Millwall players also began to gradually calm down their impatience.
Their cooperation began to become more and more tacit, and their running positions were perfect. Everyone knew what they should do.
Seeing this scene, Yi Le finally smiled, and then raised his arms high.
Yi Le raised his hand to ask for the ball. This is the first time he asked for the ball, which also means that Millwall can speed up.
Sure enough, the moment Yi Le received the ball, he directly touched the ball and kicked it towards Woolford.
Woolford pushed the ball forward, Williams started directly, and rushed towards the bottom line of the right wing.
Millwall speeded up instantly, which made Reading very uncomfortable.
The defense couldn't shrink in time, but Millwall's forwards had already reached Reading's big penalty area.
Williams' speed is very fast. He is half a body ahead of the opponent's right back, directly relying on his speed to overwhelm the opponent and enter the inner circle.
This scene shocked the Reading players.
"Look at that number 13!!"
As soon as the Reading goalkeeper's voice fell, Williams had already played the ball.
He plugged the ball towards the center circle, where Grigory shoveled the ball directly into the goal.
In stoppage time in the first half, Grigory scored a goal to equalize the score.
After the goal, the commentator George Stephen yelled excitedly: "This is Millwall, this is Millwall, this is the way we play. Clean and deadly, the only time since Yi played Shoot and Millwall gets a goal, that's called efficiency!"
"Never give Millwall a chance because we can often turn it into goals!"
"This goal is thanks to Gregory, thanks to Williams, and also thanks to sorting out the midfield for us, Millwall's most stable midfield core, Yi!!"
