Chapter 49

When Ringer broke through continuously with the ball, Bobovich tightly held the mineral water bottle in his hand. When Ringer hit the ball into the goal, Bobovich threw away the water bottle and shouted: "It's beautiful! , well done, boy! I knew you could do it!"

Ringer, who scored the goal, opened his arms again and glided across the field. He glided to the area of ​​​​the neutral fans and blew kisses to the fans in the stands.Most of the fans in this stand were neutral fans, and they gave a lot of applause to Ringer, a Chinese.

"The goal is so beautiful, this guy surnamed Lin is really amazing~~~"

"Of course, otherwise you thought he could make such a big name in Japan."

"However, I heard that his salary seems to be very low, and many Chinese Super League teams want to buy him back."

"I think it's better not to come back. Just play in Japan for two years and go to Europe. When I return to China, I don't know what it will be like."

Lin's father and Lin's mother in the stands felt a little dreamy when they heard the discussions around them.Back then when their son was going to play professional football, they all thought it was just a whim, and he would come back with a bloody head. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, his son played better and became more and more famous. like a dream.

When Ringer returned to Guangzhou to play, it was natural for his parents to watch the game. He specially arranged for the old couple to sit in the neutral stand, so as not to hear the words of Evergrande fans attacking him, which would make the old couple unhappy. The main reason Ringer rushed here to celebrate.

"Let's take a look at this goal again. Ringer dribbled the ball from the midfield, passed Kongka and Zheng Zhi consecutively, and Marseille spun past Zhang Linpeng, smashed the ball away Feng Xiaoting, and scored with the last kick through the crotch. It's beautiful, Zhong The single-riding breakthrough initiated by the field, a person tore through Evergrande’s defense. It is often said on the football field that a flash of inspiration from a star can change the outcome of a game. Now this is a flash of inspiration that comes alive. Lin Ge relied on his own strength to help Tokyo FC equalize the score." Yang Ma's broadcast screen continuously repeated this goal, Linger once again appeared in the eyes of countless fans, and Duan Xuan was praising him again.

Ringer's goal occurred in the 78th minute. After the goal, Lippi immediately used up a substitution quota and replaced Conca with the local striker Su Lin.

"Lipi's substitution was a bit unexpected. Although Conca wasn't excited enough in this game, it is still necessary for him to sort out in the midfield. He helped Evergrande suppress Tokyo FC in the midfield. Now it seems that Lippi Still not satisfied with Konka's performance, he replaced Gao Lin with the intention of strengthening the offense."

In fact, Lippi was not satisfied with Konka's defensive performance just now. Ringer was the first to pass Konka and initiate the solo pass. It was also when his speed was the slowest. At that time, Konka could have Pulling down Ringer directly, a problem that can be solved by an ordinary midfield foul, eventually turned into a conceded goal. Lippi, who is good at Italian defense, was quite dissatisfied with this.

After equalizing the score, Tokyo FC once again returned to the familiar path and defended the tie.It's not that Linge didn't think about scoring another goal, but the goal just now exhausted him a lot, and Evergrande's marking of him became tighter after this goal, and Linge didn't have the confidence to score again.If he exhausted his physical strength in vain but failed to score a goal, then he would not be able to play overtime at all. Tokyo FC with Ringer and Tokyo FC without Ringer are completely two teams.

More importantly, Bobovich has long been prepared to compete with Evergrande in overtime or even a penalty shootout. Everyone is more confident in advancing according to the pre-arranged route.

Evergrande's offensive was even more fierce when Gao Lin was replaced. Obviously, if they want to score again, they must end the battle within 90 minutes.Bobovich also quickly used up the second substitution spot, and Kenichi Kaga came on to replace Kenta Mukuhara.

Kaga Kenichi was injured in the game against Guoan, and his condition has not been good since he recovered. At the same time, Zhang Xiuxian performed well, so he lost his position as the main central defender. Even if Zhang Xiuxian can't play this game, Bobovic would rather let Gao Hideto Hashi retreated to play central defender and did not let Kenichi Kaga play.But now Kenta Mukuhara is performing badly at the left-back position. Now Evergrande is going crazy and desperate. Kenichi went up and tried to play left back.

No one expected that the effect of this helpless substitution was not bad. Kenichi Kaga performed well at the left back position, much better than Kenta Mukuhara. Zhao Yuanxi put in the assists whatever he wanted.

Soon, the 90-minute game ended, and Evergrande failed to break through the goal of Tokyo FC. Tokyo FC did not have a good chance, and the two teams had to play overtime.

There was only a few minutes of rest before overtime, and the two teams had no time to go back to the locker room. Bobovich could only explain tactics on the sidelines: "Remember, it only takes three to ten minutes. We are only short of the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League. Three 10 minutes, as long as we survive the three and 10 minutes of overtime, Evergrande will definitely not be our opponent in the penalty shootout. We have already prepared for this year's Super Cup. Need to worry about penalty shootouts."

Indeed, Tokyo FC's closed training two days ago mainly focused on defense and penalty shootouts. Bobovich had already had the idea of ​​drawing with Evergrande and then fighting for penalties, but he didn't expect to be broken in the first half Fortunately, in the second half, Ringer relied on his personal ability to help Tokyo FC equalize the score, and the game finally returned to the rhythm that Bobovich wanted.

※※※

Overtime began, and luck slowly came to Tokyo FC's side.In the 95th minute, Tokyo FC counterattacked and got a corner kick. In the corner kick defense, the Korean Cho Won-hee and Watanabe Chima, who had been performing very well in this game, collided and never got up again.This time, he didn't pretend to be injured, but was really injured. Zhao Yuanxi fell into a coma for a while, even an ambulance drove into the field, and the game was forced to stop for more than six minutes.

Evergrande lost Korean Cho Won-hee who performed well in this game, and at the same time had to use up his last substitution spot, losing the opportunity to adjust again. Bobovich secretly clenched his fist on the sidelines and defended until the end to fight for a penalty kick. The chances are bigger.

Evergrande lost Zhao Yuanxi's offensive, and Tokyo FC even had two threatening counterattacks, but it was a pity that they failed to score.

The game entered the stoppage time of overtime, and Bobovich used up the last substitution spot, let Lucas play, and replaced all the best penalty kicks to prepare for the penalty kick.

beep~beep~beep~~~
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Tianhe Sports Center heard huge boos. The fans were very dissatisfied with the result. Tokyo FC played extremely negatively in the overtime match, so Evergrande fans booed back.

"At the end of the game, neither side scored a goal in overtime. Evergrande drew 1:1 with Tokyo FC at home. The two teams can only decide the final eight places in the AFC Champions League this season through a penalty shootout. However, Evergrande still has the advantage of playing at home, and I believe they can eliminate Tokyo FC." Shen Fangjian said.

In the preparation before the start of the penalty shootout, Tokunaga Yuhei won by guessing the coin, and took a penalty kick after choosing it.However, the penalty goal designated by the referee was on the side of the Evergrande fans, which caused Bobovich to protest again, but unfortunately the protest was invalid.

The first Evergrande came out was Muric, who easily tricked Quan Tianxiu into a free throw, and there were huge cheers behind the goal.

"Muriqi scored a penalty kick, and Evergrande temporarily leads 1:0. Next, it's time for Tokyo FC."

"Oh ~ Tokyo FC is responsible for the first free throw. It is very unexpected. You must know that the first penalty shootout is the most important. Ringer is arranged for the first free throw. It seems that he is very popular. Coach Bovic's respect."

Positioning the ball at the penalty spot, Ringer took a deep breath and let himself relax.The first free throw is really stressful. If the first free throw is missed, it will greatly damage the morale of the team.

"Hey, traitorous dog, you will definitely not score!" The Evergrande fans behind the goal tried their best to interfere, and all kinds of curses came towards Ringer.

After the referee blew the whistle, Ringer took two steps back, his legs were charging for a run-up, when a red light appeared in front of him, it was Evergrande fans using laser pointers to interfere with Ringer.Ringer stopped and helplessly spread his hands to the referee, but the referee didn't see it at all from the side and looked at him strangely, so Ringer had no choice but to go up and explain to him.

"Mr. Referee, someone behind the goal is using a laser pointer, which will seriously interfere with my free throw~~~"

After knowing the situation, the Qatar referee went to the sidelines and asked the Evergrande staff to deal with the matter. Linge could only wait boredly.At this time, the laser pointer appeared again, and a little red light appeared on Ringer's face. Ringer habitually tilted his head to avoid it, and the red light followed closely. Ringer thought it was quite fun, and continued to tilt his head to dodge.So there was a strange picture on the court. Ringer was shaking his head and hiding there, which caused the Evergrande fans behind the goal to burst into laughter.

After an interruption of about 3 minutes, the penalty shootout restarted and the laser pointer disappeared.In such a serious interference with the game, the referee can directly judge Evergrande to lose the game. Under the comfort of the staff, Evergrande fans also know that the severity has restrained.

"Ringer~ run-up~ hit the goal!!!"

"The goal is scored! Tokyo FC temporarily equalized the score, 1:1. Ringer's penalty kick was very powerful, and it went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Yang Jun couldn't do anything about it."

Ringer breathed a sigh of relief after scoring his own penalty kick.He believes that Tokyo FC can advance to the quarter-finals. After all, Bobovich specially closed training for two days just for this penalty shootout.

Next, Evergrande's Cleo scored a penalty kick, and Lucas from Tokyo FC also scored a penalty kick; Zheng Zhi made a free throw, and Hasegawa also made a penalty kick.The two teams made no mistakes in the first three free throws and made all of them.

"3:3, the first three free throws of the two teams were all hit, and the pressure came to Evergrande again."

The fourth player from Evergrande was Gao Lin, and Linge suddenly realized that this round might be the one that decides the outcome.Gao Lin is famous for suing the plane. His shots often miss the plane. I don't know why Lippi sent him to take the fourth penalty.Maybe he just took over the team and didn't know enough about his own players, so when he saw that he was a striker, he was sent to make free throws.

Sure enough, with Gao Lin's "living up to expectations" kick, the football bounced off the crossbar.Although Gao Lin angrily rushed forward and kicked the ball into the net, but it was of no use. Penalty kicks are not allowed in penalty shootouts.

According to the rules, penalty kicks obtained in ordinary time in football games can be supplemented, and the supplementary shots are valid. In the Miracle of Istanbul in 05, Liverpool's Harvey Alonso was saved from a penalty, but he reacted quickly. He rushed over and shot the ball into the net to help Liverpool equalize.However, supplementary shots are not allowed in penalty shootouts. Once the penalty is missed, there is no chance to make up for it.

"I told Lin, he missed his penalty kick, and now the advantage has come to Tokyo FC. If Tokyo FC hits all free throws next, Evergrande will be eliminated."

"Good job, boy! Your penalty kick is beautiful!" Bobovich "cheered" for Gao Lin from the sidelines, which drew boos from the Evergrande fans behind him.

The fourth player of Tokyo FC was Naohiro Ishikawa. He resisted the pressure and scored a penalty kick. The boos of Tianhe Stadium became louder.

In the end, Evergrande's fifth player, veteran Sun Xiang, kicked the ball into the lower left corner of the goal, but then Tokyo FC's fifth player, Watanabe Chimao, also kicked the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

"The game is over. Congratulations to the Gas team. They faced the mighty Guangzhou Evergrande in an away game. They fell behind by one goal in the first half, but in the second half they relied on the Chinese star Ringer's solo breakthrough to equalize the score, and finally defeated the opponent in the penalty shootout. Congratulations They, they reached the quarter-finals in their first trip to the AFC Champions League, and they are also the only J-League team to reach the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League this season." Japanese TV is celebrating loudly.
