Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 77: Throwing darts to celebrate?! Fake fall! I hope you will keep your promise [55]

If Hull City played aggressively just now because they wanted to get a good start, then after this goal, they had to give it a try.

Being scored by the opponent at the very beginning of such an important game may not defeat them, but it will give them a strong sense of urgency.

Center Simpson placed the ball on the center circle, waiting to serve again.

"Clap!"

Captain Harper clapped his hands and encouraged his teammates to cheer up, "It's still early, come on, don't let down the fans who came to Sheffield after Christmas!"

Hull City players looked at the fans in the South Stand. The cheering formation of thousands of people did not show any intention of blaming them. They were still hugging each other, jumping and singing the team's anthem.

This gave them a strong fighting spirit, and everyone secretly clenched their fists, vowing to play at their best.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game again. Hull City center forward Simpson kicked the ball back and ran forward.

Sheffield United players entered the opponent's half and started pressing.

Hull City players are inspired by the fans, they also have fans and the goal just scored!
On a psychological level, they are the more dominant party and naturally will not be intimidated by the other side's tenacity.

Just like that, the two highly motivated teams collided violently again, with fierce fighting taking place in many parts of the stadium.

"Bang!" First, Maher knocked over the defender Gerrard who was defending him in an attack, and then he accelerated to overtake the chasing midfielder Collen, causing the opponent to pull and commit a foul.

Afterwards, in the middle position, the midfielders of both sides fought each other with extremely fierce movements, and no one took a step back.

"Swish!" The young and energetic Gilbert slid out to tackle the ball, and at the same time, he tripped the opponent player to the ground.

After the football flew to the side, it formed a two-way ball between Januhans and the opponent's midfielder. The two seemed to have an amazing tacit understanding. They slid out at the same time, both wanting to touch the football earlier.

Continuous sliding tackle!

They shoveled the ball away, their legs collided, they let out a joint wail, and lay there.

But what is unexpected is that they are not the protagonists on the court at this time.

"I come!"

After the football flew to the other side, Loughton first blocked his position and prepared to protect the ball with his body.

"Swish!" The flying tackle came again, and the opponent's center Simpson behind him knocked him down with the ball. The tense atmosphere on the scene reached its peak at this moment.

Four people made flying tackles in succession, and four of them were lying on the ground at this moment!

"Beep!" The referee finally blew the foul whistle, penalizing Hull City for the foul and cooling down the game.

"suffer!!"

Unexpectedly, this move aroused even stronger dissatisfaction among Hull City players and fans, and countless people raised their hands in protest.

The referee did not give them a chance to argue, he turned around and ran away. This was a smart move. It was not easy for anyone to referee this kind of game, he had to protect himself at all times.

"Jay Simpson! After receiving the ball in the rib position, he headed towards the baseline!

"Jay! Dunk! Lorton chases back to defend him, Jay!! Falls down!!"

In the 39th minute of the game, something unexpected happened. Hull City's center forward Simpson fell in the penalty area, and countless Hull City players surrounded the referee.

"Fake!"

"Shit referee, blow the whistle!"

"I'll find out where you live!"

"Do you have a mother?"

This place is next to the Hull City Expedition Fan Zone. Many Hull City fans quickly stood up to put pressure on the referee. They said dirty words and pointed at the referee and spit.

The referee thought for two seconds and slowly raised the whistle to his lips.

He was still a little hesitant because he didn't see whether Loughton had committed any obvious fouls. But he had picked up the whistle and couldn't put it down again. He gritted his teeth and pointed his right hand to the penalty spot: "Beep!"

"What are you doing!"

Gary Speed ​​rushed out from the coaching booth on the sidelines, pointed at the referee's back and yelled, "Fake fall! Are you blind?!"

Under the pressure of the Boxing Day battle, it is difficult for people to maintain a rational state, and they will inevitably be aggressive when they open their mouths.

Thinking that it would be too chaotic and the referee might not be able to hear, he ran to the fourth official on the sidelines. He had done this more than once or twice this season, "Look at him, look at what he's calling the whistle?"

He was filled with righteous indignation. "This isn't the first time. Just because our team is always awarded penalties, you can't think that our team plays dirty!"

The fourth official took two steps back to avoid him. He actually vaguely noticed that Simpson's fall was a bit exaggerated.

But the decision had already been made, and he couldn't say it in front of Gary Speed, so he could only pretend he didn't see it.

"Penalty! The referee awarded a penalty!!"

In the commentary booth, the Sky Sports commentator sat back in his seat and watched the replay of the broadcast carefully. "Hull City got a chance to change the score, which caused dissatisfaction among everyone in Sheffield United."

At this point, his voice stopped abruptly, and when he spoke again, his tone changed, "Loughton didn't kick Simpson. Let's see again, kick, fall to the ground! This is undoubtedly a fake fall, Hull City got a penalty by luck!
He didn't want to say anything too harsh, as there might be Hull City fans watching the live broadcast, but his position was already very clear.

On the field, Simpson gritted his teeth and tried not to show any expression. He avoided all Sheffield United players who confronted him and stood firmly in front of the penalty spot.

After hearing the referee's whistle, he quickly ran forward, shook his ankle and kicked the ball to the lower left corner.

"Swish!" Robert judged the position correctly, but unfortunately the ball was too fast and he missed it.

The ball went in and Hull City equalized the score with a penalty kick, finally avoiding a worse situation.

"Yeah!" This time it was their fans' turn to cheer. The shouts of thousands of people filled the Bramall Lane Stadium and also made the home team fans feel extremely aggrieved.

No matter how Simpson got the penalty, he had become a hero of the team at this moment, running to the sidelines and sliding down on his knees while roaring.

The Sheffield United players watched their celebration with a sigh of relief.

The first half of the game ended like this, 1-1, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

"Beep!" As soon as the second half of the game started, Hull City, who kicked the ball from the center circle, implemented the kick-off tactics they had discussed during the halftime break.

They simply made two back passes, with the center back making a long pass to the left side.

Center forward Stuart was already standing in that position. He jumped high and headed the ball into the Sheffield United penalty area. Captain Harper, who had been prepared, sprinted into the dangerous area and received the ball.

"Oh" the situation opened up, they completed the first step of the kick-off tactic, and also the most difficult step, and the fans stood up from their seats.

"Oh!"

As Harper swept the cross in front of the goal, center forward Simpson, who went around from the back point to the front point, kicked the ball into the net!
The ball went in again!

Two to one!

After careful planning and excellent execution, Hull City also made a strong start in the second half!

"Yeah!"

Hearing the passionate sounds coming from the south stand, Maher closed his eyes deeply, let out a long breath, and walked towards his own half.

In competitive sports, sometimes lack of morality and unscrupulous behavior do not necessarily bring negative impact and bad luck to a team.

Look at Hull City, after getting a penalty through a dive, they turned the game around almost instantly away from home.

Want to be that kind of person too?
Maher hesitated. He thought, if he could win a valuable championship trophy just by faking a fall in an important game, would he do it?

At a time like this, should we still stick to professional ethics that may not be worth much?

It is to choose self-nobility, to sacrifice the team's efforts throughout the season, and to crush the hopes of countless fans.

Or destroy the opponent, let yourself and your closer teammates succeed, and make the team and the fans happy with the result.

He couldn't give an answer to this question, perhaps he needed more time to think about it.

Or maybe.
He doesn't have to make this choice!

He has a proficiency panel, which represents unlimited potential. In the future, he is very likely to reach a new height and embark on a new path!

The career he is going to experience is different from that of others.

"Yeah, there's no need to torture yourself on this kind of issue."

Maher's mind became more open, and he was gradually strengthening his will and faith. "I will improve my abilities and try to help the team solve all problems with my own strength!"

He started to jog and looked up just in time to see Simpson rushing towards his own fan area and making an arrogant gesture like throwing a dart.

This was undoubtedly a provocative action. He compared Sheffield United to a dartboard, meaning that he poked a dart hard and hit the target ten points, hurting Sheffield United.

Maher took note of this and decided to try to return the favor.

"Sheffield United's on-field communication has decreased, but it can be clearly noticed that they have not reduced their intensity. Instead, they are fighting with their breath held. The players are vigorous and vigorous, fighting for every ball.

"Lotten's back-up came in, Maher passed the ball to him, and he ran towards the ribs!

"Lotten made another through pass and the ball came back to Maher's feet. Maher made a ground pass! The ball was going very fast!!

"A clearance, but not far enough!! Evans is going to make a follow-up shot, push it into the goal!!"

On the field, as Evans's shot nailed the ball into the dead corner of the side net, the suppressed Sheffield United fans celebrated wildly again.

"Yeah!" Snowflakes swirled in the air and fell on their heads, unable to cool down their passion.

Dozens of team flags were waving together, looking particularly imposing in the falling snow, and exuding a solemn feeling.

"Beautiful!! The ball went in!!!"

The Sky Sports commentator seemed much more excited at this moment than before. He was a neutral fan, but he witnessed the injustice suffered by Sheffield United with his own eyes, so he was naturally more emotionally inclined to this side.

"73-! Sheffield United equalized the score in the rd minute! Both teams showed tenacious form today."

Evans, who scored the goal, did not celebrate. He ran straight to the goal, ready to pick up the ball and return to the center circle.

A draw is not enough!
They must strive hard to win and defeat the opponent in the final time!

Only in this way can they get rid of the anger that is still in their hearts.

His behavior was quickly defined as provocative and disrespectful by opposing players and fans.

Draw and get the ball?

Do you think we are easy targets?

Hull City goalkeeper Mannone stood in front of him to prevent him from getting the ball, and the two men started pushing and shoving each other in the goal.

"Still want to score a goal?"

Mannone looked at him with a sneer on his face and said sarcastically: "I promise this is the last one. Don't fantasize. I will catch all your shots."

"Okay."

A voice came from the side. It was Maher who came to support Evans. He used his strong body to directly knock the goalkeeper away, picked up the football and ran towards the center circle. "I hope you can do what you said."

"Beep!"

After the next kick-off, Maher's expression changed and his anger reached a critical point.

ps: Don't worry, there won't be any more competitions of this length.

The main purpose is to give an explanation for this season, otherwise it will be too dry. With my burst update and the speed of the subsequent advancement, the plot of the English Championship will be gone in a few days.

In the process of having a beginning and an end, it also paves the way for future plots, making the book more interesting and exciting in the later stages.

Please give me some time, I believe I will explain these plots later.

Today I may get 500 monthly votes, and I will add one more chapter tomorrow (this PS word count is less than 1 point, so I won’t cheat my brothers).
