Team Spirit

Chapter 14: Green Goblin Lu Kaiham, Silver Skills Exploded Again

【Backspin Shot·Black Iron】!
The goalkeeper of Hamworth Villa had already made all the preparations. He was confident that he could easily hold the ball and launch a quick counterattack.

As a result, when the football fell, his hand shape immediately became wrong, and there was no extra time to adjust.

He could only kneel down and use his body to block the football.

This was because he was in a better position, otherwise he wouldn't even have the chance to make up for it.

However, the next moment, Oliver appeared in the small penalty area and made a follow-up shot at the football.

"GOAL! Three to one!"

"Oliver helps the team extend its lead!"

“Dartford has held on!”

"Lu Kai's shot had strong backspin, causing the opponent's goalkeeper to lose the ball."

"In comparison, George's previous long-range shot was actually not as good as Lu Kai's."

"As expected of a youth training system from the prestigious Arsenal, Lu Kai's skills are very comprehensive!"

The Pond Course went into celebration mode.

Lu Kai then once again emphasized to his teammates to tighten their defense.

Although this will reduce the team's momentum, a two-goal lead can also provide the team with confidence. In addition, there is not much time left in the game, which can force the opponent to attack eagerly.

This is the complexity of "momentum".

When the team is leading by a large margin or with little time left in the game, the defending team may actually gain momentum.

This kind of understanding cannot be copied and can only be analyzed based on specific circumstances.

In the 88th minute, Hanworth Villa's long-range shot went over the crossbar.

Dartford then took a goal kick.

Lu Kai also came to the backcourt to participate in the organization.

As the opponent pressed forward helplessly, Lu Kai passed the ball to George and asked him to kick the ball.

George kicked the ball towards the left side of the frontcourt.

Ashley Young received the ball, challenged the opponent's defense alone, and was brought down on his way inside.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded a free kick in a good position.

At the same time, the opposing defensive player was shown a yellow card.

Players from both teams moved towards the Hanworth Villa penalty area, preparing to compete for the free kick.

George is the team's first free kick taker, so it's only natural that he should go to the football.

But Emily's voice suddenly came from the sidelines: "Lu Kaiham! Lu Kaiham!"

Many people were stunned.

Then other Dartford fans who reacted followed suit: "Lukeham!"

The head coach of Hanworth Villa was confused: "Lookham?"

Alfred smiled and explained, "Yes. Our number 11, Lu Kai, doesn't like people calling his name upside down, so his name is pronounced like 'Look'."

"He is good at curling the ball and has scored directly from free kicks before."

"You know, saying a player can take free kicks like Beckham is the highest compliment in England and in football."

"Lukeham, just showed up like that."

The head coach of Hanworth Villa made an awkward smile, probably not agreeing with this title.

He has seen many players who think they are Beckham, but how many of them really have that kind of skills?

As the fans called out Lu Kai's name, George's expression suddenly changed.

He walked aside angrily.

Who needs a free kick like this!
Following the fans' expectations, Lu Kai turned to football.

He took a few steps back, and at the referee's command, he began his run-up. Bang!
The football flew out.

He successfully bypassed the wall of people, then hooked back in a huge arc and went straight to the ten-cent corner on the left!
【Banana Ball·Silver】!
“GOAL!!!”

The pond court immediately became a sensation.

The Dartford fans were roaring at the top of their lungs.

The Hanworth Villa coach was stunned.

This kick is really very Beckham-like!
"Lookham!"

"Lookham!"

"Lookham!"

In the end, thanks to Lu Kai's two goals and one assist, Dartford defeated Hanworth Villa 4-1 and advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals!

……

Sports Weekly: "A scimitar appeared in the FA Cup! Luke Hammers scored two goals and provided an assist to lead Arsenal into the quarterfinals!"

"Football News": "Manchester United has Beckham, Arsenal has Lookham! If Beckham is the Red Devil, then Lu Kai is the Green Devil!"

Domestic fans saw these messages and clicked on them.

The bottle is definitely bigger than the cup.

The FA Cup is already a top-tier cup competition, so is the FA Bottle an even more impressive event?

It turned out to be the low-level FA Cup.

"God damn Green Goblin! After Arsenal fans lost their unique title of Gunners, Manchester United fans are no longer unique!"

"If Kou can go, I can go too! Arsenal fans are using Lu Kai to fight back against Manchester United fans. The worst that can happen is that we all lose our names together!"

"What kind of a shabby tournament is the FA Cup? Can goals in such a match be called?"

"Can you please stop reporting on amateur events like this every day?"

"Amateur? Doesn't the person upstairs know that the FA Cup Final will be played at Wembley Stadium?"

"So what? Dartford, this knock-off of Arsenal, can really make it to the final? You're overthinking it!"

"That's right, they keep trying to piggyback on Arsenal's popularity. I think they should just focus on avoiding relegation first and not bite off more than they can chew!"

Some fans began to criticize Dartford.

However, Lin Tao, editor of Sports Weekly, expressed his unique opinion as a commentator: "In fact, if we compare horizontally, Dartford's achievements in the FA Cup this season have surpassed Arsenal's achievements in the FA Cup."

"The FA Cup is certainly not a high level, but Dartford itself is only a ninth-level amateur team. There are 300 teams at this level in England, and it is not easy for them to make it to the quarterfinals."

"On the contrary, Arsenal, one of the 20 Premier League teams, didn't even make it to the FA Cup round of 16. Doesn't this just prove how good Dartford is?"

"As for Manchester United, they had to give up this season's FA Cup in order to participate in the inaugural Club World Cup. In the future, FIFA and UEFA will launch more cross-regional competitions."

"A lot of people look down on the FA Cup, but the FA Cup winners qualify for the UEFA Regional Cup next season! That's the Champions League for amateur leagues!"

Lin Tao's comments made people take the strength of Dartford seriously for the first time.

Even though they are as small as dust in front of the two giants Manchester United and Arsenal.

But aren't they becoming giants in their own fields?
