I am the king of football

Chapter 143 It’s not that simple

There are many factors that can determine the direction of a game, such as an inadvertent pass, a bold shot attempt, a minor foul or even a penalty kick from the penalty spot.

Lambert got up almost instantly after falling to the ground, and Coulson retracted his foot in time. Neither party showed any signs of injury or conflict.

But a foul is a foul, and bringing down the opponent's forward when he has the ball and is facing the goal and could shoot at any time is a standard red dot package.

Coulson's eyes instantly became moist after being shown a red card. The young player had only been given a chance to start in a few games, but now he received the first red card in his career because of a foul. This was a little hard for the young player to accept.

"Referee, wuuuu~, referee, please listen to my explanation..."

"Alright, alright, Coulson, it's okay. You've done a great job. Leave the rest to us."

The team's big brother Colen stood up and hugged Coulson who was ignored by the referee. Then Qin Hu and other friends of the young player also gathered around. Everyone spoke to comfort Coulson and finally calmed him down.

"Coulson disappeared into the player tunnel. The young player actually played very well in this game, but unfortunately he was a bit too reckless as a defender. Perhaps this red card can help him grow faster on the road to becoming an excellent defender."

On the field, Southampton paid no attention to the developments on Hull City's side. They became very excited after the referee indicated that a penalty had been awarded. The team's top scorer and first penalty taker Lambert took the ball to the penalty spot.

The game reached the 70th minute and this was a crucial opportunity. Both the Saints players and fans knew that this was their last chance.

"Shhh!!!"

A whistle sounded, and when everything was ready, the referee blew the whistle to signal the penalty kick.

"Lambert started to run up, took two simple steps and shot directly! The ball rolled to the lower left corner of the goal, but Gulas didn't judge the direction correctly!"

As an experienced shooter, Lambert's ankle made a fake move in the opposite direction at the moment of touching the ball, which made the nervous Gulas unable to save the penalty.

"1-2! Southampton equalized the game with a penalty kick in the nd minute. In the next minutes, they continued to fight with Hull City, which had men. The balance of victory was once again turned."

There may be a gap between the two equally top teams, but it will never be so big that they can still play back and forth with one less person. As Zhan Jun said, Hull City is really in danger next.

Bruce on the sidelines started pacing and thinking almost as soon as Coulson was sent off. When Lambert scored the penalty and the Saints players celebrated wildly, Hull City quietly completed the substitution and formation change.

Defender Chester and midfielder Evans came on as substitutes, replacing Cavelli and Paul respectively.

After the substitution and the restart of the game, Kane's position returned to the left forward position, Chester filled the central defender position left by Coulson, and Evans became the team's midfielder.

Hull City temporarily changed their formation to 4131. Qin Hu was the only threat left in their frontcourt, and the defensive tasks of the other players were far greater than the offensive tasks.

"Okay, after the game started again, Hull City continued to control the ball and their formation contracted very obviously."

Bruce did not give the team any more offensive orders. In the next twenty minutes, all they had to do was to maintain the one-goal advantage and hold the championship trophy firmly in their hands.

At the beginning of the new year, Hull City was so strong that Southampton, whose morale was greatly boosted after scoring a goal, had no way to deal with it.

But as time went by, Hull City's 10-man team wasted far more energy than their opponents. After 80 minutes, it was obvious that all the players in Hull City were starting to walk slowly. Except for a few young players who could sprint vigorously, the other players were a little weak.

It was at this point that the tenacious Southampton once again seized the opportunity.

"It was the 83rd minute. Southampton was in possession of the ball and their passing and cutting were getting smoother and smoother. Schneiderlin made a beautiful Marseille turn and passed Collen and Kane who were rushing towards him."

With a beautiful breakthrough in the Saints midfield, they did not miss the opportunity as they already had the numerical advantage. Schneiderlin passed the ball to Lallana on the left the next second.

Lallana burst out at an extremely fast speed the moment he got the ball, which made it too late for Evans, who was in the defensive midfielder position, to make up for the defense. He could only watch him rush to the place where he was face to face with Rosenior.

"A high-speed bicycle move, Lallana has a lot of momentum and suddenly changes direction! Rosenior follows him and twists, and then changes again!"

Two consecutive changes of direction and sudden stops and turns consumed a lot of physical energy. In the end, Rosenior was unable to keep lock on Lallana, allowing him to successfully break through.

"He passed it! He rushed diagonally into the penalty area. Chester had to stop marking Lambert and rushed towards Lallana~"

"Shu~"

Needless to say, this is the most classic conspiracy on the football field - the inverted triangle pass. Lambert, who rushed in quickly, had already occupied an excellent position, and the young Maguire was unable to stop his shot.

"Oh!"

Lambert kicked the ball with great effort and completed his second goal without showing off.

"Roar!!!"

Rushing directly to the South Stand, which had been booing them throughout the game, Lambert let out a huge roar. The striker, who had been holding back his energy, punched hard towards the South Stand of Tiger City.

"2-2, the score was tied. What an incredible development. Hull City's two-goal lead hadn't even warmed up yet, and Southampton equalized the score in less than minutes..."

Zhan Jun in the commentary booth was a little short of breath. He never expected that this game would have such huge waves. He thought that Qin Hu would easily win the cup at home, but now it seems that everything is uncertain.

"Cheer up! Cheer up!"

On the pitch, all Bruce could do for a moment was to keep roaring in an attempt to motivate the players on the pitch. Faced with such a sudden turn for the worse, the team's morale suffered a huge blow. With one less player, all the advantages that Hull City had previously accumulated disappeared.

However, against this backdrop, a figure still resolutely appeared in the eyes of all Tiger City players.

That person was none other than Qin Hu, who ran from the front court to the goal, grabbed the ball and ran towards the serving point as soon as the team lost the ball. He was not at all defeated by the tenacious Saints. Instead, he looked at his teammates with a very contagious expression.

"Brothers, hurry back to your positions and get ready to kick off!!!"
