Damn it! ! ! ! With a depressed look on his face, Ouyang Ao stood in the wind and rain and cursed. This damn Senegalese was really hard to guard against, especially when it rained.
In fact, the responsibility for this conceded goal cannot be blamed on Sheffield Wednesday's two central defenders. After all, Cahill alone cannot completely defend Thomas, who is nearly two meters tall.
Ouyang Ao looked at the celebrating Tranmere players with a gloomy face. He did not want to capsize at home. This was the best chance to score points. You must know that the opponents in the next few rounds will not be so easy to deal with. .
"Sheffield Wednesday's goal was breached and David scored!! But half of the credit belongs to Thomas! The Senegalese giant is Sheffield Wednesday's biggest enemy today. John must find a way to limit him. God, I I have to say that without Hamsik and Ashley, Sheffield Wednesday is like a tiger without teeth. It was scored first by the opponent at its own home court. This is not a good sign!!" Altkinson frowned. shouted.
The Tranmere fans at Hillsborough Stadium cheered excitedly, while the home team fans were silent.
Hamsik was unable to play in this game. Sitting in the stands, Hamsik frowned. Seeing Cahill being suppressed by Thomas one after another, Hamsik wished he could go into battle immediately. He sat in the stands and watched helplessly. The team's defense was hit by opponents time and time again, and this feeling was really uncomfortable.
In fact, Cahill is capable. With the help of the training menu, his current player strength value has reached 88, which is a very high value. However, his shortcoming is that he is inferior in height. In a confrontation, he will definitely prevent Thomas from getting any advantage, but it is different in the case of high-altitude balls. Although Cahill has made his best efforts, Thomas, who is more than half a head taller than him, can still grab it. The first point.
The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the first half. Conceding a goal first made Sheffield Wednesday's players feel a little depressed. They walked to the tunnel dejectedly and returned to the dressing room to listen to the coach's words.
After a short ten-minute break, the two teams returned to the court and the second half of the game continued.
Sheffield Wednesday clearly strengthened their offensive in the second half. It is not difficult to see that Ouyang Ao must have given instructions during the halftime break. He cannot accept defeat at his home court. Tranmere is the best opponent to score points, so this game He is bound to win the game.
Similarly, those Sheffield Wednesday fans at Hillsborough Stadium were not willing to see their team being run wild by Tranmere. They sang the Sheffield Wednesday team anthem in the wind and rain. Some loyal fans The fans even unfurled a huge banner that read: Sheffield Wednesday! You are never alone!
After nearly ten minutes in the second half, Sheffield Wednesday's offense began to pick up. With midfielder Yaya Toure frozen, they shifted the focus of their offense to the two wings, Habib and Richard. The wingers began to attack in turns, especially Habib. His deft pace and skillful skills repeatedly created several threatening opportunities. Unfortunately, neither Dzeko nor Hubner were able to grasp Habib. A couple of good quality crosses.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Ouyang Ao on the sidelines looked a little anxious. He kept looking at the watch on his wrist, and then looked at the situation on the court and walked back and forth.
The camera on the sidelines also showed a close-up of Ouyang Ao, and Alkinson in the commentary room also joked: "It seems that John can't sit still. Maybe he should consider substituting when he can't open up the situation. Hubner's performance today was really bad. The number of times he touched the ball was less than double digits. It might be a better choice to add a midfielder and remove a forward in the same position. It's a pity. I'm not a coach"
Regarding Altkinson's proposal, Ouyang Ao was actually a little helpless. It wasn't that he didn't want to make substitutions, but that he really didn't have any extra personnel at his disposal at the moment. The extensive injuries and the weak bench thickness made it difficult for him to do so. He was helpless. This was the first time he had encountered such a helpless situation.
After withstanding Sheffield Wednesday's offensive, Tranmere got a chance to breathe. Then they began to shrink their defense under the instructions of the head coach. With less than twenty minutes left in the game, it looked like Tranmere were going to defend. .
In the 78th minute of the game, Rice made personnel adjustments first. He replaced David, the hero of the goal, with a defender. Thomas was the only one left on the front line, and all the remaining players shrank back to their own side. halftime.
"It seems that Rice has decided to defend! For Tranmere, the one-goal lead seems not reassuring enough, but this is an away game. Rice obviously knows that he needs these three points. Conservative The Scots made the decision to hold on,Let's take a look at how Sheffield Wednesday cope with Tranmere's changes. "Alkinson said worriedly. There was not much time left. Seeing Sheffield Wednesday's attacks failing again and again, Alkinson, as a loyal supporter of Sheffield Wednesday, was also a little anxious.
At this time, Ouyang Ao couldn't sit still. He looked at the time and finally made personnel adjustments. In fact, Ouyang Ao's substitutions didn't make much sense. Even if he knew that Hubner was in poor condition, But he did not have any extra forwards at his disposal. In this case, he decided to take a risk and replace the inactive Hubner with Evra, who had played the forward position at that time, hoping that Evra His appearance can bring about some changes.
Evra, who originally had to recuperate for a week or two, came on the field at the coach's instruction. Sheffield Wednesday's substitutions also left everyone confused. A forward was replaced and a defender was replaced. What kind of trick is it?
An offensive and defensive battle has begun! After replacing Evra, Ouyang Ao made a gesture of going all out to attack. Yaya Toure seemed to be a little more active in the second half of the second half, and his role began to show. Sheffield Wednesday's midfielder It has obviously been strengthened, and the two wings are also playing well.
However, Tranmere's defense is not so easy to tear apart. Except for Thomas, who stayed at the front point, the remaining players almost all shrank to their own penalty area. To paraphrase Mourinho, it was completely in front of the goal. There's a bus parked!
Tranmere's almost shameless playing style also made Ouyang Ao extremely dissatisfied. He walked anxiously back and forth on the sidelines, cursing incessantly. He even ran to complain to the fourth official excitedly, complaining about Tranmere's playing. Law lacks sportsmanship!
However, there is no provision in FIFA that expressly restricts this kind of behavior, so in response to Ouyang Ao's complaint, the fourth official could only shrug helplessly.
Les doesn¡¯t care about that. So what if the scene is ugly? Football is not fancy swimming. The result is far more important than the process. You must know that Tranmere is not Barcelona. How about playing beautifully? If you can't maintain the victory to the end, no matter how beautifully you play, it's meaningless. Being able to hold on to the victory until the end is the most important, and being able to get the three points is the most critical!
"Shameless!!!" Ouyang Ao cursed Rice fiercely. Looking at Tranmere's defense like a turtle shell, he could only pray helplessly, hoping for a miracle.
Sheffield Wednesday's offense became more and more fierce. In the second half of the game, they almost gave up their defense. Even the defense joined the attack, leaving only Cahill to guard the defense.
However, Tranmere is not blindly defensive. After Sheffield Wednesday's attack failed, their defender made a clearance. The ball flew to the feet of Thomas who was wandering in the front point. At this time, Sheffield Wednesday's defense had almost joined the attack. At this time, Cahill was the only one left in front of Thomas.
Fortunately, the Senegalese giant is definitely not a player known for his speed, and his foot skills are not as good as Ibrahimovic, so Cahill still struggled to get the ball off his feet during the head-on confrontation.
"The fourth official has already raised his sign and added four minutes of added time. It seems that Sheffield Wednesday will continue to extend their winless record at home today. Ouyang Ao was unlucky today. The heavy rain before the game must have caused him a lot of trouble. , compared to Sheffield Wednesday who are good at controlling the ball, Tranmere is more adaptable to rainy battles Now Sheffield Wednesday fans must miss their Ashley and Hamsik. If they were present, this would The result of this game will definitely not be like this." Altkinson said with some regret.
Four minutes! ! There are only four minutes left in the game! ! Ouyang Ao was anxious, and Sheffield Wednesday's players were even more anxious. Their attacks came one after another. In the last few corner kicks, goalkeeper Bilal even rushed forward to participate in the attack.
Sheffield Wednesday's attack was again blocked by Tranmere's defender, resulting in a corner kick, the last corner kick opportunity! If this attack still fails to knock on Tranmere's goal, the game is about to end!
Sheffield Wednesday¡¯s eleven players, including goalkeeper Bilal, were all crowded in the Tranmere penalty area.
?Habi took a corner kick, and the ball drew a beautiful arc, and then fell into the penalty area filled with people
"Edin earned the first point this time. He overpowered Tranmere's centre-back Dane and headed the ball towards the goal!!! Oh!! No Edin's header was completely unable to withstand the power. , the ball fell into the penalty area again, wait!!! Who grabbed the ball??? Oh!!! Bilal!! It's Bilal!!! Sheffield Wednesday's goalkeeper grabbed the second point and he shot Oh my God!!!! The ball is in!!!! It¡¯s in! It¡¯s in! It¡¯s in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±
Al?Sen jumped up from his chair and roared loudly: "Gal"
"Bilal!!! It's Bilal!!! This Paraguayan goalkeeper saved Sheffield Wednesday!!!, and at the last moment Sheffield Wednesday tenaciously equalized the score!!!"
Hillsborough Stadium was boiling with excitement, and Ouyang Ao jumped up with excitement. After scoring, Bilal almost ran to the corner flag crazily, roaring with excitement.
After this goal, the referee also blew the whistle to end the game! !
