Team Spirit

Chapter 34 (Continued) Ludwig, Rooney the Seagull

In the seventh minute, the opponent's midfielder suddenly shot from outside the penalty area, causing the Dartford goalkeeper to lose the ball and almost creating a goal.

In the 13th minute, Dartford organized an attack.

Lu Kai received the pass from Patton.

The opponent immediately came over to press.

Lu Kai held the opponent, used the [Stomp the Ball Technique] to keep the ball, and waited for his teammates to run.

As the confrontation intensified, Lu Kai passed the ball to Patton who was running up.

Barton wanted to find Thomas Madeira, but unfortunately the latter was already in an offside position.

Patton passed the ball back and retreated to get rid of the opponent's Lu Kai.

The opponent continued to pounce on Lu Kai.

Lu Kai pulled the football backwards and kicked the ball forward with his other foot.

It seems to be moving backward, but it is actually moving forward.

Complete the breakthrough directly from the front.

[Pull and knock the ball]!
Left, center and right, Dartford's trident were all in threatening positions.

Any pass is deadly.

But because of this, everyone's attention is on the Green Spear Trident.

Lu Kai drew his bow and shot an arrow directly from outside the arc.

boom!
【Backspin shot】!
The football went straight to the left side of the goal.

The opponent's goalkeeper flew to save the ball, but the ball then fell, avoided his hands and went into the goal.

"GOAL! One to zero!"

"Lu Kai's long-range shot gave the team the lead."

"The pond court cheered!"

On the sidelines, Guernsey fans looked at the excited Dartford fans and complained: "What's so great about it? The shot was weak and powerless. It was pure luck that it went in."

Alfred turned around and retorted, "You know nothing about football! That's called a backspin shot!"

"Do you know Pavel Nedved, the Czech Footballer of the Year, Serie A Iron Man, Lazio winger, and Juventus' designated successor to Zidane? He's best at this kind of shot!"

The Guernsey fans sneered, "Yes, yes, your Lu Kai is the Green Gun Nedved, alright! Ludved, there's no difference!"

"Wait, the game isn't over yet!"

Sure enough, eight minutes later, Guernsey's new winger completed a violent breakthrough on the left, and his ability was no less than Ashley Young.

boom!
The opponent made a cross pass.

Guernsey's number nine center wrestles with Duff.

The new No. 11 player made a smart move, bypassing Duff and pushing the ball in front of the goal, successfully scoring.

1-1, Guernsey equalized the score.

"This guy is a bit restrained by Duff." Lu Kai shook his head. Guernsey No. 11 is the strongest player Dartford has met so far.

His name is Steven, and he is a real player playing in the professional league.

He is also a substitute striker for Brighton, a future Premier League powerhouse and current fourth-tier league team. This season, he helped Brighton top the English League Three standings.

He has a cannon-like kicking style and outstanding personal abilities.

He is not a player abandoned by the team, but a regular player temporarily loaned to Guernsey.

Guernsey is a "satellite club" of Brighton and Hove Albion and the two sides have a cooperative relationship.

This is not uncommon in football.

Low-level clubs provide talent to high-level clubs, and the泔水 from high-level clubs helps low-level clubs build their empires.

Steven joined Guernsey temporarily this time with only one thing to do... help Guernsey win the FA Cup!

In the 31st minute, Dartford took a corner kick.

Duff's header was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper has made several saves so far and is a lot better than the Dartford goalkeeper. Yes, this goalkeeper is also one of Guernsey's new signings.

In the 43rd minute, Steven, the young iron cannon, received the ball and withstood the collision of another Dartford central defender, turned and rushed into the penalty area, and shot a powerful shot before Duff could get over, breaking Dartford's goal again.

He scored twice to help the team overtake the score.

In the first half, Guernsey took the lead.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and started the game again.

In the 54th minute, Barton took a long shot from outside the penalty area. The quality of the shot was not low, but it was saved by the opponent again.

In the 62nd minute, Genzi's midfielder's shot from a small angle went wide and hit the net.

In the 75th minute, Eastwood replaced Oliver and his shot resulted in a corner kick.

Ashley Young took a corner kick, Duff broke through the defender and jumped strongly, and the Big Shark flew into the air and headed the ball into the goal.

"GOAL! 2-2! Duff scores with a header!"

"This central defender, known as the Shark by the fans, is extremely capable and his arrival has improved Dartford's defense."

"Both teams are very strong in this match. Anyone can advance. It just depends on who can hold on to the end."

In the 83rd minute, Dartford broke the deadlock.

Lu Kai used short passes in the frontcourt to mobilize the opponent's defense, causing a flaw in the opponent's position, and then made a fatal through pass to find Eastwood.

Eastwood did not waste the opportunity and shot calmly to break the Guernsey goal.

3-2, Dartford is within reach of £10,000!
But in the 89th minute, Guernsey's young cannon Steven moved flexibly to receive the ball, knocked away Kailo who was pressing him, attracted the defense, and then sent a straight pass.

The Genk midfielder made a volley to equalize the score again.

Three to three.

Both sides were forced into overtime.

"Steven's performance today was truly comprehensive, with two goals and one assist. He was truly the best player of the game."

"Over at Dartford, even Lu Kai, who performed the best, was outshined by Steven."

"Brighton's main striker has received an invitation from Crystal Palace and may leave the team. After Steven's loan ends this summer, he is likely to start in the third-tier English League Two!"

"The fact that a player like him appears in an amateur cup competition like the FA Cup is simply a dimensionality reduction attack! Even though the FA Cup is the Champions League for amateur players in England!"

In overtime, the combat effectiveness of both sides declined significantly.

Dartford in particular.

The physical reserves of players in low-level teams cannot be compared with those of regular troops.

Physical training is long and boring, takes a lot of time but has little effect. Professional teams can force their players to do it, but semi-professional and amateur teams do not have this condition.

You are doing physical training, so the players just don't come.

I still have classes to attend.

At least six Guernsey players were still in good shape during overtime, but Dartford only had Barton and Lu Kai.

Duff was weighed down by his weight.

Eastwood and Ashley Young are both still young.

To Madera, Kailo and others still have some distance to go in terms of physical fitness to reach the level of professional players.

In the 103rd minute, Steven made a fishhook run to get rid of Duff and scored with a single shot.

Completed a hat trick.

As strong as Lu Kai in the Kent Senior Cup semi-finals.

Three goals and one assist, unstoppable.

His playing style and condition are exactly like the future Wayne Rooney.

The reason why I say the future is because Rooney, who is now fifteen years old, is still in Everton's youth training team and is far less strong than Steven!

The cheers from the 200 Guernsey expeditionary forces suppressed the 700 local people in Dartford, who were silent and couldn't even boo.

History records that "The Blue and White Seagulls borrowed troops from Guernsey and Steven conquered the pond course."
