Chapter 212 We are unstoppable!

Kevin Zimmer sat on the bench, leaning to the side and peering onto the field.

He had to adopt this posture because the tall Ramon Van Dijon, who was 1.9 meters tall, was standing diagonally in front of him, blocking a third of his view. Therefore, he had to adopt this posture to gain a wider field of vision.

As for why he didn't think of leaving the bench like Van Dijk and standing on the sidelines to watch the game.

Of course, it's because he was too focused on the situation on the field and completely forgot about that...

Just now, the fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines indicating six minutes of stoppage time.

The stands were filled with boos – Clayton Sports fans felt that too much stoppage time had been given.

It should be noted that after Wang Lie scored twice, there were still more than 20 minutes left in the game. These same people still believed that the longer time was advantageous to them, because Tyne was one player short and their stamina could not last that long.

They might collapse in 75 minutes.

As a result, although Tyne does seem to be on the verge of collapse, it has never actually collapsed.

Zimmer and Van Dijk were substituted five minutes earlier, supposedly due to fatigue, but that's the ostensible reason.

Both players started the game and played almost the entire match, which undoubtedly took a toll on their stamina. However, as professional players, even if they aren't at their peak physical condition at the beginning of the season, they can always manage to play the full match.

The real reason stems from the pressure that Tyne put on them.

This made head coach Kochea uneasy about keeping them on the field, fearing that the two players' stamina would affect the team's overall performance.

Zimmer definitely needed to be substituted and rested. Today was supposed to be an ordinary Premier League match, but when he was taken off, he felt like he was playing a Champions League final...

I just feel tired, the kind of tired that leaves me physically and mentally exhausted.

He sat there crookedly in his chair watching the game until they saw their own offensive end, at which point he finally relaxed.

At the same time, I realized—right, why can't I go to the sidelines to watch the game like Van Dijk, instead of letting him block a third of my view?
Thinking of this, he took off the scarf that had been hanging around his neck, left it on the chair, got up and walked over to Van Dijk to watch the game with him.

Noticing the movement around him, Van Dijk turned around and saw that it was Zimmer.

"Victor's shot was too hasty! He could have easily shaken off the defender before shooting..." Van Dijkne complained to his captain.

“If he cuts past the goalkeeper and then shoots, Goetz might save it… He has to shoot before Tyne’s defense is fully prepared,” Zimmer defended Victor.

Van Dijk thought about it and felt that what the captain said made sense: "Tyne's defense is like a mad dog. Aren't they one man behind us?"

“Perhaps it’s precisely because they have one less person than us that they have to act like mad dogs,” Zimmer said.

Van Dijkhan thought about it again and agreed with his captain, so he remarked, "This Tyne team is different from before..."

Zimmer countered, "How long ago? Last season when we played them at home, the last few minutes were just as tense as they are now. Have you forgotten?"

Van Dijkne thought about it again and realized that the captain was right - last season, Clayton Athletic beat Tyne 3-2 at home. In the 88th minute, Wang Lie scored a goal for Tyne, making the score 3-2, with Clayton Athletic only leading by one goal.

Their coach was also jumping up and down in frustration on the sidelines.

The period from when Wang Lie scored until the end of the match was indeed very tense.

But he quickly realized the flaw in the captain's words: "But back then we only got nervous after conceding a goal in the 88th minute. It's different now; I feel like we got really nervous after the 70th minute..."

This time, Zimmer didn't refute him, but nodded: "Yes. This Tyne team is indeed different... They will become our major competitors."

Van Dijk was simply remarking that the match against Tyne was somewhat difficult. But many matches are tough, and if Tyne is like Waltham, it's not too much of an exaggeration. After all, while Waltham is arguably the worst team in the Big Six, they're still part of the Big Six...

His lament stemmed from the stark contrast between Tyne's previous performance against them and his current state.

There was no other meaning behind it.

Why did the team leader go up to a high altitude as soon as he arrived?
He turned and stared wide-eyed at Zimmer: "That's an exaggeration, Kevin, that's way too much..."

He wanted Zimmer to explain why he said that.

But before he could get an explanation from the captain, he heard a huge chorus of boos from the stands.

He immediately turned to look at the field, but saw nothing on the field—he initially thought it was Tyne's attack that threatened Clayton Athletic's goal, but Tyne hadn't even taken a goal kick...

It was Zimmer, who had been watching the field closely, who answered his question: "Götz had an argument with our caddie, and the fans are booing him."

"Huh?" Van Dijk was puzzled. "What's there for him to argue about with the caddie?"

"He wanted to take the goal kick as soon as possible and asked the caddie for the ball, but the caddie just threw the ball onto the field..."

※※※

Although tomorrow's away game is still in London, the entire Kensington team has already checked into their hotel tonight.

Bolton came to ask Dean to play ping-pong—he knew Dean was very good at it.

When Dean finally knocked on the door and explained his purpose, he refused to see him.

Dean said he wanted to watch Tyne and Clayton Athletic play.

Bolton then followed him into the room to take a look.

Then, as they watched, several of Bolton's friends came over and stayed to watch the live broadcast of the game.

So now Sonny Dean has eight Kensington teammates in his room.

They were all watching the game.

At first, they probably didn't take it too seriously. After all, they were already there, and their real idea was to watch the game for a few minutes and then take Dean and Bolton out to relax.

But now, no one is suggesting going out to play anymore; they are all captivated by the match between Tyne and Clayton.

The match has now entered stoppage time, and Tyne is still trailing by one goal. The Kensington players watching on TV are like those who have been following a TV series to the very end, eager to know the final outcome.

Just now, Clayton Sports' Ulysses Victor took a shot, but the ball flew directly out of bounds.

Tyne's goalkeeper, Elliott Goetz, turned and asked the caddie behind the advertising board for the ball.

This is normal procedure.

But this is Clayton Sports' home ground, so how could the home caddie not see what he was up to?

The goal, of course, is to launch a quick goal kick and launch a counter-attack against Clayton Sports.

So the caddie didn't grant Goetz's request. When Goetz came up and reached for the ball, the caddie acted as if he didn't see him and simply threw the ball past him into the field.

It was clearly intentional, with the aim of preventing Götz from quickly taking the goal kick.

This forced Goetz to turn around, go back to retrieve the ball, and then return to the edge of the six-yard box to place it.

In that time, the Clayton Sports players all returned to their positions.

Goetz knew his goal kick was destined to fail, and he was also very unhappy with the caddie's deliberate targeting, so he waved and yelled at the caddie.

The result immediately drew boos from the other Clayton Sports fans in the stands.

Richard Bolton, watching the game on TV, said, "This is the first time I've seen Goetz lose his temper like this. I remember Goetz as having a very mild temper and being easy to talk to..."

Wilton Adila, who was also watching TV, said, "He's getting anxious, after all, we're behind and there's not much time left..."

Sonny Dean interrupted him: "No, it's Clayton Sports that's in a hurry."

Adila thought Dean was only saying that because he came from Tyne and didn't want to see his former team lose.

Surprisingly, the team's starting goalkeeper, Pablo Gorkin, also supported Dean: "Sonny is right, Clayton Athletic is indeed in a hurry."

Adila was puzzled when he heard Gorkin say the same thing: "What's the rush for Clayton Sports? They're in the lead now, they should be stalling for time..."

"Yeah, so the caddies at Clayton Athletic are helping the team stall for time," Gorkin said, pointing to the TV screen.

Adila countered, "What's the problem with that?"

Gorkin asked him, "When have you ever seen Clayton Sports need to stall for time when playing against Tyne?"

Adila opened his mouth but no sound came out; he realized the crux of the problem.

Sonny Dean didn't participate in his teammates' discussion; he remained focused on watching the live broadcast of the game.

Goetz took the goal kick.

※※※

The football was kicked forward by Götz.

Around the 70th minute, substitute striker Peter Oliver was running towards the landing point.

Clayton Sports center-back Francisco Ferreira was with him.

Oliver, who had run to the landing point, jumped up to contest the header, using his physical advantage to head the ball first and then pass it to Wang Lie.

When Wang Lie received the ball, Clayton Sports midfielder Victor also came up to him, trying to interfere.

Despite Victor's interference, Wang Lie used his chest to stop the ball to his side, then protected it and passed it to Vitini, who was making a run down the wing.

After Ribeiro was substituted, Tyne's lineup became either 4-4-1 or 4-2-2-1.

With center forward Oliver leading the attack, Wang Lie and Vitini both dropped back from their striker positions, acting more like shadow strikers or attacking midfielders.

Vitini received the ball but faced tight defense from Clayton Sports.

But Tyne wasn't the only offensive player.

He feigned a cut inside, but then gently flicked the ball behind him into the open space, where his roommate Anderson Nova broke through Clayton Athletic's defense along the sideline.

After catching up with the ball, Nova smoothly dribbled it diagonally into the penalty area.

Dušan Ratkovic decisively moved up to block his path of advance.

Nova tried to get past the center-back, but as he dribbled the ball out, Latkovic seized the opportunity to cut in and separate him from the ball!
At the same time, goalkeeper Nathan Daye made a decisive rush out, diving to his side to catch the ball that Nova had dribbled out of his hands.

"Ahhh!" Nova, seeing that the opportunity to attack had slipped away, pulled up his trouser leg in frustration and yelled back.

As he vented his frustration and regret, goalkeeper Daiye got up from the ground and threw the ball with his hand towards Daniel Elaso, who had retreated to defend.

He planned to take advantage of Tyne's left-back Nova's run up to assist in the attack, and exploit the gap left behind him.

Nova was startled by Daiye's actions and quickly turned around to chase after him.

He had just turned around when he saw Vitini rush to Ellaso's side and kick the ball out of bounds.

Clayton Sports has been awarded a throw-in.

At this moment, the ball boy on the sidelines was very quick-witted. He immediately threw the football he was holding to Ellaso and then turned around to pick it up.

"Get back on defense right now!" Vitini shouted, pointing behind him.

Nova didn't even have time to thank Vitini for his help before running back.

Seeing that Tyne's defense didn't have many weaknesses.

Ellaso wasn't in a hurry anymore, since they were in the lead anyway.

※※※

There were very few players left sitting on the Clayton Sports bench; most of the Clayton Sports players were standing on the sidelines watching the game.

The same applies to Tyne.

Even more than that.

There was no one on their bench; everyone was standing up to watch the game.

Sergi Cabella stood in front of his seat, raising his hands to grip the edge of the bench roof tightly, trying to stop himself from leaning forward.

His knuckles were white from gripping so tightly, showing how hard he was pulling.

But he was completely oblivious to it and didn't even notice.

Clayton Athletic didn't immediately throw the ball out of bounds, and some Tyne players used that brief moment to bend over, support their knees with their hands, and gasp for breath.

Seeing them like this, Cabella felt a surge of resentment.

How he wished he could still be on the field to help them...

Because his physical fitness is not a problem.

Because Helic was sent off for a foul, he was substituted by the head coach in the 34th minute, without having expended any energy.

During the team's most difficult time, he could only stand by as a spectator on the sidelines, unable to offer any help.

He didn't actually have much affection for Tyne's team.

He didn't come here because he was fired up by Wang Lie's call and acted on impulse.

It's entirely because he couldn't join his desired club, Atlético Barcelona.

The club chose to sell itself to Tyne, who offered the highest price.

He did not refuse the generous offer from Tyne.

And so, Cabella, a Spanish player, inexplicably left his homeland and joined a team he had never heard of before.

He had read the ideas of those Atlético FC fans online: play for Tyne for two years, then transfer back to Spain in a roundabout way to join his ideal team, Atlético FC.

To be honest, deep down he did have that thought.

After all, he didn't know if he could adapt to the food, weather, and football in England.

If he's unhappy in Tyne, he'll definitely want to go back to Spain.

If Atletico Barcelona are still interested in them by then, why not?
Despite having provided an assist and scored a goal after coming on as a substitute in the first round of the league, it can be said to be a perfect start.

He also didn't dare to believe that he would definitely have a bright future with this team.

He had a hard time understanding the English spoken here, the climate was indeed difficult to adapt to, and the food was... well, let's just say it wasn't great.

He still didn't truly consider himself a "Tyonian".

It was as if there was a shell enveloping him inside and out.

But today, seeing the team still fighting tooth and nail against a stronger opponent despite such unfavorable circumstances is truly inspiring.

Sergi Cabella, a Basque from Atlético Basque Country, is itching to get going.

He longed to join the fight as a member of this team.

Instead of being a mere spectator like we are now.

Even if Tyne does lose this game, it won't be his fault, and he won't bear any responsibility... after all, he was suddenly substituted because of Heric's red card, not because of poor performance.

But Cabella didn't want a defeat he could accept with a clear conscience. He hated the feeling of powerlessness—his teammates were fighting so hard while he couldn't contribute anything. The shell that encased his heart had, without him even realizing it, cracked slightly.

※※※

After Daniel Elaso threw the ball out of bounds, Clayton Athletic didn't rush forward, but continued passing the ball around in their own half.

This time, Tyne's players were much slower to get into position when pressing.

It was clear that Tyne's players were nearing the end of their stamina with three minutes remaining in the game.

Clayton Sports could have used their passing and possession advantage to grind out those three minutes.

Clayton Sports fans in the stands sang loudly, cheering for their team as they were just three minutes away from victory!
Tyne's fans were also singing, but their voices couldn't be produced at all.

But they kept clapping their hands and singing.

They have already sung the complete version of "Newcastle upon Tyne," and now they are starting to sing a brand new version of "The King's Song," which is "The Extraordinary Heart," which he first performed at his signing ceremony.

Completely different from the melodious and gentle "Newcastle upon Tyne," this song "Extraordinary Heart" has a fast rhythm and is powerful and resonant, more like the work chants shouted by workers in the steel mills and shipyards of Newcastle a hundred years ago.

Actually, this rhythm is more suitable for being sung during intense football matches, and it has a very obvious "battle song" feel to it:
"...Quickly heat the fire until it's red-hot!"

"The song of steel and fire has resounded throughout the land!"
"Pour molten iron into your chest!"

"Listen to the heart pounding!"
"China Wang! China Wang!"

"His fame spread far and wide, and his prestige resounded throughout the land!"

※※※

Clayton Athletic's players were passing the ball around in their own half, and Wang Lie pressed them as before, but it wasn't effective.

He looked back and saw that many of Tyne's players were no longer able to run.

He certainly knew that everyone was already very close to their limits.

But as long as you haven't cramped to the point of being completely unable to move, you should keep running!

Because our opponents won't let us off the hook just because we're nearing our limit.

If you don't want to lose, you'd rather die on the court!

Moreover, he knew why Clayton Athletic passed the ball around in their own half: it was their comfort zone. With their numerical and possession advantage, they could pass the ball to the ends of the earth, to the very end of the universe...

If they let them spread these rumors, then Tyne will have absolutely no chance.

We must take possession of the ball from them. Even if we can't win it back in the attacking third, we must force them to push the ball forward into our half so that we can have a chance to change possession.

So he waved to his teammates behind him and shouted, "Run! Run! Fight!"

At the same time, he himself took the lead and charged forward.

The Tyne players behind him were deeply moved to see a 38-year-old veteran burning himself out until the very last moment of the game.

So... run as fast as you can, as long as you don't die!

Once everyone caught up with the pressing pace, Clayton Athletic felt the pressure in their own half. Fearing that Tyne would dispossess them and directly threaten their goal, they stopped passing the ball sideways and instead started attacking by passing it forward!
Meanwhile, Tyne's pressing pushed their formation forward, giving Clayton Athletic opportunities to launch counter-attacks and surprise attacks.

If we can score directly from this counter-attack, wouldn't that kill the game early?
They no longer need to endure the final minutes of this battle in fear...

Clayton Athletic, through close teamwork, advanced the ball to the edge of Tyne's penalty area.

Facing Maje Katic's side defense, forward Colin Newbell, who had the ball, first tried to get past the former "world's best defender," but Katic remained unmoved, simply turning sideways to defend against his breakthrough.

Seeing that he had failed to fool Katic, and with Tyne's other players retreating to defend, leaving him little room to maneuver, Newbell abandoned his plan to break into the penalty area and instead created space before shooting directly!
The football curved out of the box and headed towards the far post!

To be honest, Newbell's shot was of quite high quality, with a very large arc.

But goalkeeper Elliott Goetz made an even better save!
He leaped forward and caught the ball with both hands in mid-air!

He didn't lift it off the crossbar, nor did he hit it out of bounds; instead, he grabbed it directly in his hand!

He didn't want to give Clayton Athletic another corner kick at this crucial moment to waste time!
So he actually anticipated the opponent's shooting path before Newbell took the shot, then he moved his feet in that direction in advance and then lunged out.

Only in this way can he be guaranteed to catch the ball steadily, instead of making a save...

He needs to create opportunities for the team's attack; as the goalkeeper, he is the initial initiator of the team's attack!

"Götz! What a brilliant save!"

While still in the air, Goetz caught the ball and curled up slightly to prepare for the impact.

After landing, he struggled to get up quickly, rushing forward while glancing to the left—why the left?

Because Anderson Nova, who came on as a substitute left-back in the second half, is young, energetic, and fast!

Sure enough, he saw Anderson Nova looking back at him as he started running forward.

Their eyes met.

Goetz tossed the ball over.

In order to throw it as far as possible, he threw his entire center of gravity out as well.

After the ball was released, he lunged forward and fell onto the grass outside the penalty area.

This time, he didn't get up immediately, but lay on the ground, looking up at Nova's back.

He saw the young Brazilian left-back head the ball he had thrown forward, without slowing down.

Only after confirming that Nova had caught the ball he had thrown did he get up from the ground.

My gaze followed that upward, catching a glimpse of the live score on the big screen at Ashton Road Stadium.

At 93 minutes and 41 seconds, Clayton Sports led Tyne 3-2.

It's another 3:2!

The last time Tyne lost here, the score was also 3-2...

Is there some divine intervention at play?
It always gives us hope, yet we can never truly grasp it...

Do not!
This is not some divine will!
Even if it really is some kind of divine will, we will never accept it!
Look at Nova, who's sprinting away, and the other team members...

Wang is right, Tyne is not the same Tyne he used to be!
※※※

"Tain's counterattack!"

"Nova has dribbled the ball and crossed the halfway line!"

A deafening chorus of boos erupted over Ashton Road Stadium, as if dark clouds were pressing down on the ground.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the thick clouds, as if to unleash its immense power upon this green field and punish those mortals who refused to accept their fate!

Daniel Elaso charged in from the side and made a flying tackle on Nova, who was carrying the ball!

Nova's speed made Elaso realize that he was extremely dangerous and that they had to keep him here!
Nova had just poked the ball out with the tip of his left foot when Ellaso tackled it with his foot.

Although he didn't knock Nova to the ground, he still managed to bring him down to Nova's heels.

The Brazilian left-back staggered, his center of gravity shifted forward, and he was about to fall to the ground.

His hands reached forward to support his body, and with his youthful body, the Brazilian's innate flexibility and powerful explosiveness, he managed not to lose his balance!
That body that was lunging forward suddenly straightened up again!
He continued to rush forward like the wind, catching up with the ball, dribbling past it, accelerating to chase it again!
Amidst a deafening chorus of boos, he had already reached the 30-meter mark!

Then step into Clayton Sports' defensive third!
But at this moment, the defensive density he encountered suddenly increased – Clayton Athletic hadn't pushed forward with all their players when they attacked earlier, so when Tyne countered, they retreated very quickly.

At this moment, Clayton Sports actually has a relatively large number of defenders.

Their right-back, Ed Hutchinson, fought back and retreated against Nova, maintaining a reasonable position and denying him space to continue dribbling and accelerating.

Meanwhile, Ulysses Victor is coming from the middle to provide support and will arrive soon.

Faced with this situation, Nova recalled the offensive opportunity he had wasted earlier...

So he decisively passed the ball out.

However, he did not pass the ball to Wang Lie in the middle because there was a Clayton Athletic player next to Wang Lie.

He passed the ball to Peter Oliver, the center forward who was leading the attack.

Oliver also tracked back to defend when Clayton Athletic attacked, but he didn't drop back too far. So when Goetz launched a counter-attack with a throw, he could turn around and run forward immediately, leading the way and pushing Clayton Athletic's defensive line back, creating space for Wang Lie and Vitini to attack from behind.

This also highlights his crucial role as a center forward in counter-attacks.

Upon seeing the ball passed to Oliver, Clayton Athletic center-back Francisco Ferreira, standing behind him, immediately became eager to make a move to circle around from behind and intercept the ball.

Oliver sensed the movement behind him, so he slightly opened his arms and used his large body to wrestle with Ferreira.

Then lift your foot to catch the ball.

When a person supports their body on only one leg, their balance is often at its most vulnerable. So Ferreira took advantage of Oliver raising his foot to receive the ball and rammed into him forcefully.

Oliver swayed slightly, but he still managed to stop the ball at his feet.

Then he leaned forward, sticking out his buttocks, and pushed Ferrera backward.

After clearing a distance, he passed the ball diagonally to Wang Lie, who was charging forward in the middle.

Setting up teammates and setting up Wang Lie are also important roles for him as a center.

Upon seeing the ball being passed to Wang Lie, Sadia Diomande, a Clayton Athletic player standing next to him, immediately reached out and grabbed Wang Lie's arm and shoulder to prevent him from accelerating.

While entangled with him, Wang Lie received the ball, and he took the opportunity to move the ball diagonally forward, and then accelerated!
After gaining a lead of a third of a body length, he caught up with the ball, made no adjustments, and swung his right leg directly!

"Wang Lie shoots!"

That's right!

It wasn't some fake shot and feint, but a real, powerful shot!
The football flies towards the left goal!

Clayton Athletic goalkeeper Nathan Daye was already wary of Wang Lie's shot the moment the ball was passed to him by Oliver – Wang Lie often scores with powerful shots from outside the penalty area.

So when he saw Wang Lie kick, he quickly lunged to the side!
"Day! What a fantastic save!!"

He lunged to the side, punching the soccer ball that Wang Lie had shot towards his right.

But the ball didn't fly directly out of bounds; instead, it rolled parallel to the baseline towards the corner flag...

The Clayton Sports fans in the stands gave their goalkeeper the loudest cheers!
However, their cheers had barely begun when they immediately turned into boos!
Because they saw a dark blue figure rush towards the football like lightning!

※※※

After passing the ball to Oliver, Anderson Nova did not stop or return to his position, but continued running forward.

He didn't know if the ball would eventually be passed to him, but he felt he should go up.

To avoid being offside, he didn't run fast, while constantly keeping an eye on the situation in the middle lane.

Wang Lie took a shot, but Dyson made a brilliant save. Nova noticed that the ball hadn't gone out of bounds, but was rolling towards the open space in front of him!

So he immediately accelerated and sprinted toward the football.

This Brazilian left-back, known for his speed, pushed his pace to the limit. If someone were to tally his speed during that sprint after the match, it would certainly rank him among the top in the entire Premier League!

"There's still a chance! Nova!!"

Just as the ball was about to roll out of bounds, Nova finally arrived. He had no time to adjust, so he could only take advantage of his sprinting speed and swing his left foot to kick the ball!
Because he lost his balance at the moment of passing the ball, his body leaned backward, and when his left foot hit the ball, his toes involuntarily pointed upward, lifting the ball up.

The football flew high toward Clayton Sports' goal.

Goalkeeper Daiye, who had just gotten up from the ground, staggered and ran back to the center.

His center-back teammate, Dušan Ratkovic, is there.

He was already positioned in front of the goal, leaping up with all his might as the ball flew towards him, trying to head it away...

Judging from the height of his jump, he probably couldn't reach the ball. Even if he raised his arm high, he still wouldn't be able to touch the football!

But it doesn't really matter, because behind Ratkovic, Clayton Sports' left-back Balaski is there to cover. The ball is flying towards the far post, and he can clear it away...

"Wang Lie!!!"

A figure suddenly appeared in the air through the gap between the two Clayton Athletic defenders!

From Dai Ye's perspective, Wang Liege was so tall that he had blocked the lights on the stadium roof.

He seemed to be looking up at the sun, and then, under the blinding sunlight, a dark shadow suddenly appeared and fell from the sky!

A thought flashed through the English goalkeeper's mind—wasn't he just shooting from outside? How did he... end up here?!
To Balaski, who rushed to the rescue, Wang Lie's legs were bent, his hips were raised, his upper body was almost straight, and he was leaning upwards...

He seems to be struggling against gravity, trying to fly higher!

"king--!"

The football flew over Latkovic's raised hand and was caught by Wang Lie in mid-air behind him!

Like a tomahawk dunk in basketball, Wang Lie tilted his head back in mid-air and slammed the soccer ball down onto the ground with his forehead!

When Daiye saw the ball coming, he didn't even have time to make a save before the ball hit the goal line and bounced into the net!
"—Lie!! Wang! Lie!"

Commentator Connor Cowley excitedly shouted Wang Lie's full name.

"Wang Lie!! Header goal! Hat-trick!!! Perfect hat-trick!! In the 94th minute of the match, Wang scored a hat-trick to help Tyne equalize! This is the first time they've tied the game! Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!! Tyne, playing with one less player, still managed to hold the defending champions to a draw!"

The thunderstorm over Ashton Road Stadium ultimately failed to subside, as the cloud containing the lightning's power was shattered by a powerful blow from the sky!
The rumbling in the sky that day wasn't thunder, but rather the echoing chants of Tyne's fans:

"China Wang! China Wang!"

"His fame spread far and wide, and his prestige resounded throughout the land!"

"China Wang! China Wang!"

"Dragon's blood, human form!"

"...

"When the fleet sets sail from port..."

"Our captain is setting the course for victory:"

"Let's go, Tyne!"

From rivers to the ocean!
"Forward, Tyne!"

"We are unstoppable!!"
