I Have a Football Superpower

Chapter 009：Unwavering Fans

In the 19th round of the league at home on the 10th, FC United lost 1:2 to Kemel Laird.

Victor started the game and played the whole game, playing at left-back, and as a defender, he couldn't directly help the team score.

Kemerlaird started the game with a goal when their number eight, attacking striker Mick Berry, headed home from a set-piece.

Victor was not named to mark the player, so when the opposition scored, he stuck to his own zone and was not around, and was responsible for defending the strikers of the Kemellaird team on the other side.

Trailing FC United, they began to fight back amid the shouts of the home fans, and their efforts paid off at the thirty-minute mark.

Hill assisted captain Carl Marginson to score to level the score at 1-1.

More than 4,100 people came to Gig Lane today, almost full, with 4,000 people all FC United fans.

After FC United equalized, the scene erupted in cheers like a tsunami.

So with the fans cheering, FC United then launched a siege on the goal of the Kemer Laird team, and it seemed that the opponent could concede another goal at every second.

Whenever he sees his team besieging the opposition, Victor has a feeling of being left out – he is a left-back, so he can only watch from behind, while guarding the flanks and watching out for counter-attacks.

Most of the time, however, the Kemer Laird team's attack was unable to get past the midfield.

The dominance of the scene could not be turned into an effective goal, and the siege situation remained until 80 minutes, and the score was still 1:1.

On the contrary, Hill also received a yellow card for his irritable emotions.

……

In the 83rd minute, the Kemer Laird team took advantage of the opportunity of FC United's big pressure and suddenly counterattacked.

This is their strategy before the game, defending and counter-attacking.

Don't you FC United want to upgrade? If you want it, come on, you hit me! If you don't attack, how can you get points to play in the Premier League!

Victor was in charge of the left area and immediately rushed forward to stare at the winger to prevent the opponent from taking the ball.

The ball-handling player of the Kemer Laird team scanned the front court, then with a big kick, he moved the ball from the air to the front court.

The man who received the ball was none other than Kemer Laird's goal-scorer, No. 8 Mick Berry.

He stopped a team-mate's long ball on the flank and went unmarked.

Victor immediately rushed up to intercept, and as long as he tangled the opposing attacking player, he could at least interrupt the rhythm of the attack.

But the opponent's No. 8 played a perfect match with the winger who was quickly catching up, and the two hit the wall with one.

After rounding the defence, Berry slashed into the box.

At this time, Victor was ten meters away from the other party, and he would definitely not be able to catch up.

But he didn't give up, he turned and ran to the middle of the box.

The opponent won the ball on the wing, and in the end the football still had to go back to the middle anyway, and that would be the only chance he could stop the opponent's attack, and this is the time he was waiting for.

Berry made a shot feint against FC United central defender Sim Johnston, who rushed up, and easily shook Johnston who lost his center of gravity.

By this time, Victor had already killed, and viciously pounced on Berry.

Berry, who holds the ball, seems to be a beautiful woman who has stripped n***d, and he Victor is a sturdy man who has not seen a woman in thirty years.

Berry was clearly aware of Victor's movements, and experience told him that he had to get his shot on goal before the opposition arrived, otherwise the counter-attack chances would be lost.

So instead of dribbling the ball to the middle again, he shot directly at a small angle!

At the same time, Victor threw his weight out completely, and shoveled away when he was still three meters away from the opponent!

At this time, he didn't think that his action might give the opponent a penalty, he only had one thought in his mind: to stop his shot!

It's late! Just one step away!

After the ball flew out, his toes slid past Berry's shot foot, and then his body rushed to him, knocking Berry to the ground, and then due to inertia, the two men became entangled and slid off the baseline.

Victor's first action after stopping on the sidelines was to turn his head to look at the goal, and he wanted to see the final result of the opponent's shot.

The ball slipped from the goalkeeper's armpit into the goal, touched the net and landed, bouncing mischievously on the ground, as if mocking the defenders who chased it to the goal.

“f**k！” Victor hammered the turf beside him hard, and when he raised his hand again, he grabbed a large piece of grass clippings.

The ball is in!

Mick Berry got up from the place, leaped to his feet with a hard bang, spread his arms, and swung his fists at his teammates.

Dressed in green and white striped shirts, the players of Kemerlaird, who looked like the Celtics of the Soviet Super League, hugged each other and cheered as they heard the last-minute goal.

The 4,000 FC United fans in the stands fell into a brief silence.

After besieging almost the entire game, the result was not reversed, but in the 83rd minute, the opponent took the lead again through a counterattack.

This is a bit of a blow for the FC United players!

Head coach Clough also kept shaking his head off the field and besieging the opponent, which was already at such a risk.

He just wanted to be able to score first before danger arose, so he took the initiative.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's defense was very tenacious, and the offensive means on his side were a bit single, and in the end, the more he played, the more impatient he became, and the right back did not go back after the assist, leaving four players in the entire backfield, a goalkeeper, two central defenders, and a left back.

Which right-back Danny Ogkins (danny_oakins) was excited to hit the head, and after rushing up, he couldn't retreat, more aggressive than the players in the attacking line.

In the words of Albert: "Never underestimate the heart of a defender as a striker!" ”

The team's right flank is completely defenceless, and it is simply two free corridors where anyone can roam.

It's not that Clough didn't see it, the problem is that he has no better way but to bet!

……

The match ended with FC United losing 2-1 at their home stadium to Kemel Laird.

Despite the loss, the FC United fans did not blame the team's performance, they still applauded the players after the game, and none of the 4,000 FC United fans left the stadium early, and all stood up at the end of the game to applaud the FC United players who fought on the pitch for 90 minutes but finally lost the game.

That's the style of England fans. They rarely rant at a team they support after they lose, unless the team isn't working hard or doesn't look like a team.

That year, the league FC United Manchester team was relegated, and at the end of the game, the FC United fans still held the team's scarf, shed tears, and sang the team anthem, which deeply touched many people.

"I love you when I win, and I love you when I lose."

"I love FC United".

Of course, the fans can accept the losing team, but it does not mean that the players have to accept a defeat calmly.

Victor is haunted by losing the game at the last minute, not to mention that the goal conceded is inextricably linked to him.

If he could have been a little quicker, he might have sealed the opponent's shots.

He felt that he couldn't help the team when they were attacking, so he should be perfect defensively.

So after the game, he was sullen all the time, even in the face of the enthusiastic fans in the stands, he just waved his hand with a straight face.

Losing the ball means that there are basically no faith points in the account! Accurate!

He again rejects Robert's offer to find a place to "anesthetize with pleasure and fail", insisting on working in a bar.

If you win, you have to practice with enthusiasm!

If you lose, you're not in the mood to play, you have to practice!

Maybe Robert is right, a professional player has to face countless failures in his life, and if he is immersed in failure and in a bad mood for several days after each failure, then he will definitely get depression.

Professional players have to have a big heart, or vent, and then completely forget about the past failures and start over.

Victor couldn't do it, he just hated failure.

He is not a professional footballer yet, so he doesn't have to think about how many defeats he will face in his life for the time being.

……

At The Reds in the evening, the drinkers who didn't go to the game because they had something to do come in and asked someone about the results of the afternoon game, only to be asked to see the bartender Victor's expression.

Seeing his gloomy face, everyone understood - they lost the game.

So a group of people sat down to ask for wine and chatted, and the voice was much quieter. On this day, the bar was a little quieter than usual.
