Team Spirit

Chapter 22: Stop pretending, the Celtics are really the Red Devils

Lu Kai immediately rushed over and pushed the other person away: "Get away!"

Just as the opponent was about to fight back, Patton rushed up again and knocked the opponent to the ground with an American-style interception.

Oh! ! !
The pond stadium erupted in cheers, and the fans on the sidelines were boiling with excitement.

There was a large-scale confrontation between players from both sides, and the referee took great effort to control the situation.

In the end, he showed a yellow card to the opponent's right back and also gave Barton a yellow card.

This time Dartford benefited.

It was normal to give Barton a red card for his fighting behavior, while the opponent's foul was a yellow card.

Lu Kai did not get too entangled with the opponent because Ashley Young was injured.

"Team doctor" Jiang Mengyun entered the scene. She knew some things about bone touching, grappling, and treating injuries from falls.

Ashley Young was then carried off the pitch by enthusiastic fans.

Substitute midfielder Kailo comes on.

Lu Kai played as Ashley Young's left midfielder.

As a result, the task of organizing the midfield fell entirely on Patton.

Dartford's attack became less smooth.

Even with one more person, there was still no perfect opportunity.

In the 86th minute, there was little time left in the game.

Lu Kai hit the wall against Barton on the left, successfully broke through, pretended to go down and then started to cut inside.

His speed, flexibility and dribbling ability are not as good as Ashley Young, but he knows how to cut inside better than Ashley Young.

He kept standing on tiptoe, taking small steps to lick the ball forward and getting closer.

The opponent can only take the initiative to try to steal the ball.

Lu Kai responded to the changing situation with a constant attitude, flicking the ball to the right to avoid it and creating a shooting opportunity.

At the critical moment, the opponent's player No. 18 attacked from behind and knocked Lu Kai down.

The referee blew the whistle, gave Dartford a free kick in a great position, and showed the opponent a yellow card.

There's no getting away with this kind of yellow card.

But the number 18 had actually escaped a yellow card before. If the referee had been fair enough at the time, he would have been sent off by now.

Then Dartford would have a two-man lead.

Lu Kai then took the initiative to stand behind the football.

After George left, he became the team's first set-piece player.

However, Lu Kai still called Patton and whispered a few words to him.

Barton also stood behind the football.

Two-man free kick tactics.

Westfield's head coach smiled slightly.

Form is more important than meaning.

There is no doubt that Lu Kailai kicked this ball.

You're called "Lukham" now, okay?

Lu Kai's banana free kick directly scored a goal and the news spread throughout Kent County.

Sure enough, Lu Kai ran towards the football first, and then...

Leap over.

Westfield's human wall was directly shaken.

boom!
Barton followed up with a curling free kick that successfully passed the falling wall and went straight into the net.

“GOAL!!!”

"3-3! It's Patton again! He scored twice!"

"An incredible free kick that went straight into the goal! He's actually a free kick expert!"

"Westfield didn't consider the possibility of Barton taking the free kick at all, but in fact, they should have understood from the fact that Dartford's corner kicker was Barton that this guy has good footwork!"

"After all, this is a youth training camp for a big club. Barton is so versatile!"

"For a small ninth-tier team, they actually have two players who can score directly from free kicks! That's too extravagant!"

On the field, Dartford players have already started celebrating.

Lu Kai even exaggeratedly said: "Patton? No! You are just Baggio!" Patton's face was almost broken with laughter.

In fact, he and Lu Kai had a free kick competition.

Lu Kai has a higher ceiling, and sometimes he can kick out completely unstoppable super banana shots.

But Patton is more stable.

So the two of them had some training on cooperation on free kicks, and they didn't expect it to really work today.

After the equalizer, Dartford's morale rose further.

The last few minutes started with a barrage of attacks.

Westfield defended desperately, knowing that they had little chance of winning.

In stoppage time.

Westfield No. 18 suddenly counterattacked, and the other two first-team players responded.

Their efforts to draw the game in the first few minutes were just an act.

As the main players of a sixth-level team, they could not accept being tied by a ninth-level team.

Now, here's your chance!
Under their counterattack, Dartford passed the ball all the way back to the center circle, but eventually lost the ball.

However, before player number 18 could completely control the ball, Barton came from the side and blocked him, stealing the ball.

However, Barton failed to control the ball, and another player from the opponent poked the ball away, which was somewhat suspected of being a foul.

The Westfield center back immediately rushed up to control the ball.

But the next moment, Lu Kai rushed in front of him and stretched his foot to complete the steal.

The effect of [Basic Steal·Iron 3] is very obvious.

Lu Kai took a step forward and before he got out of the arc, he hit the opponent's goalkeeper who was too far forward.

So follow up!
boom!
【Precision Lob Shot·Bronze】!
"This..." Alfred's compliment stopped in his throat.

This is somewhat hasty.

If he keeps carrying the ball, Lu Kai will be able to get a one-on-one chance.

Even if he was not fast with the ball, he would still have a one-on-one opportunity when To Madera ran up.

Why just make a random kick in the midfield?

Lu Kai is still too young, too impatient, and loses his composure. He will definitely regret his hasty kick after the game is over... Wait, why does the trajectory of the football seem like it could score a goal?

The three hundred fans at the Pond Stadium stopped breathing instantly.

The football flew like a rainbow, passed the Westfield goalkeeper who was running towards the goal, and fell into the goal accurately.

boom! ! !
The stadium exploded instantly!

“GOAL!!!!”

"Fake!!!"

“Oh my god!”

"It's incredible! A lob shot from the center circle scored!"

"Lu Kai completed the decisive kill!"

"Four to three! Dartford beats Westfield!"

"Amazing!"

"This is a coup de grace from genius!"

"Even though their opponent had three players from the sixth division, Dartford still managed to win! It's their third consecutive league win! And their fifth consecutive win in all competitions! This almost broke their winning streak record for the past two years!"

"I have a feeling this team is on the rise!"

"Please remember their names, Dartford Royal VCD!"

……

The Sun: "No more pretense! The Celtics are really the Red Devils! Luke Hammer replicated Beckham's famous lob from the center circle! Two goals and an assist to defeat a strong opponent!"

As we all know, The Sun is a tabloid that likes to make up some romantic scandals and ranks very low among sports media.

But recently, their coverage of ninth-tier team Dartford Royal VCD has earned them praise from some fans.

This is a new track.

And because the team is highly tied to Arsenal and Manchester United, the traffic of related reports is good.

This issue has once again attracted attention from the English football world.
