Chapter 127 The League Continues

Crowds of fans gathered outside St. Friedhom's home ground, lining both sides of the driveway, holding jerseys or other things about the team, hoping to get autographs.

Few of the players who were driving stopped. They were in a hurry and just slowed down a little while passing by.

The players who come from the training base come earlier, and they will make a certain stop for the fans.

More and more people love the St. Friedom team. The performance of this team in the first Super League season has conquered many people.

Their home games even showed a situation of "hard to get a ticket", and the enthusiasm of the local fans was too high.

Maybe some of these fans outside the stadium have not bought tickets for the game, but they are also happy to see the players. This is the joint charm of football.

Because of the happy training method before the last away game, the players are now in a relatively relaxed state, with comfort on their faces.

They entered the stadium to warm up amid the roar made by tens of thousands of fans. Before the game started, the voices of the fans said everything.

The Dongze team from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, who visited the Holy Liberty Arena in this round, is a team deeply influenced by the philosophy of European football.

This team has applied the development model of European teams at the beginning of its establishment. It has been promoted to the Super League in just a few years, and has gained a firm foothold in the Super League in recent years. The final ranking last season reached seventh place.

In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of St. Friedom, it was similar to the model they adopted, and some senior talents in the field of foreign football development were used.

However, the difference is that during the development of the club, Gu Xin gradually simplified and changed some team operation practices, added elements of South American football, and changed the personnel structure of the club management, etc.

Generally speaking, both teams have European football elements, and this game will be a confrontation between the different development results of these elements.

After the warm-up, the two sides entered the locker room for a brief rest. The two sides entered the court hand in hand, and the game began immediately.

In the stands, the home fans once again made a disappointing performance.

A giant tifo composed of tens of thousands of jigsaw puzzles surrounds the entire home field, with a blue background and the English words inserted in the middle represent St. Fridhom's concept of "freedom is hard to come by".

The starting players had goosebumps, it was a shock and the fans were amazing.

"Did you see it?" Gu Jiaren, who was sitting in the VIP box, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, deeply touched by the atmosphere of the scene.

After the pre-match ceremony, the St. Friedom players applauded the audience on the field and expressed their gratitude to them again.

The game started with applause. St. Friedom kicked off and attacked from left to right. The Dongze team, wearing yellow jerseys, began to press high.

Their press pressed all the way to St. Friedhom's penalty area, but there was still a pass between Linze and the two centre-backs.

The Dongze team restricted the passing routes of the closest points to Lin Ce, so that he could only kick the ball forward with his big foot.

The ball went to the frontcourt. They had two midfielders who were not bad in height, and the one wearing the No. 6 jersey controlled the ball and started their pass.

St. Friedom will naturally carry out the counter-grab work immediately, and it is also very important for them to have possession of the ball.

The Dongze team played in a 4231 formation, and the five players in the midfield played a big role in entanglement with St. Friedom.

In the first ten minutes or so of the game, the game was played at such a pace, the ball was exchanged frequently, and both sides wanted to control the rhythm of the game.

In the 18th minute, St. Friedom launched an offensive from the center. Pu Tingfeng, who participated in the midfield press, got the ball and turned around to advance.

He didn't take a few steps before passing the ball to Kong Pengyu's feet on the right, and then continued to accelerate forward, attracting the attention of two defenders.

Kong Pengyu didn't have a good attacking line in front of him, so he made a beautiful lateral transfer and accurately found Gao Feijie on the left.

Gao Feijie stopped the ball steadily and accelerated forward to attack. The defender on the left immediately took his position.

He sent a low-level pass with an arc close to the ground on the edge of the penalty area, and wanted to directly give it to Pu Tingfeng to shoot forward.

But he didn't control the strength of the ball well, the pass was a bit small, and was blocked by the opponent's central defender.

The central defender who intercepted the ball gave the ball to his own midfielder, and they began to counterattack, and the ball came to the foot of No. 7 on the left.

St. Friedom's players are concentrated in the midfield, and the ball passed to No. 7 is a long pass that crosses this area.

No. 7 got the ball and sent a diagonal plug forward, which was taken by the anti-offside single forward No. 9. He ran between the two central defenders.

Xu Jundao followed quickly, his defense speed was faster than Babu, which put some pressure on No. 9.

The forces invested in their counterattack gradually came to the front field, and people participated in both sides and the center.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle at this time, pointed to the penalty spot, took out a yellow card to Xu Jundao, and awarded Dongze a penalty!

Everything happened so fast that most of the players hadn't realized what happened, and the fans just saw Xu Jundao and Dongze's No. 9 fall together in the penalty area.

The opponent's No. 9 leaned against Xu Jundao and came all the way to the edge of the penalty area. In desperation, Xu Jundao had no choice but to tackle the ball, but he didn't expect to bring someone along.

From the perspective of the fans, the foul happened outside the penalty area and should not be a penalty. They booed the referee.

St. Friedhom's players surrounded the referee to put pressure on him, as did the Dongze players.

The referee went to the sidelines amidst the appeals of the crowd, and watched the VAR replay of the game just now on the video player on the sidelines.

The replay showed that Xu Jundao stretched his foot in the restricted area, maybe just one foot away from the restricted area line.

Moreover, his tackle did not tackle the ball, but brought down the opponent. This is indeed a penalty kick.

"Dick!" The referee returned to the field and pointed to the penalty spot again, maintaining his original penalty.

The Dongze team took the free throw from No. 9 who created this penalty opportunity. He is usually the team's first penalty shooter.

Lin Ce jumped left and right in the goal, doing the work of interfering with the penalty shooter, which is the only thing he can do before the opponent takes a penalty kick.

No. 9 retreated a few steps, ran up and shot, he chose to push the shot, and pushed the lower right corner of the goal.

The miraculous Lin Ce judged the right direction, quickly fell to the ground to complete the side attack, and blocked the ball out of the goal.

The strength and angle of the ball were average, and Lin Ce successfully saved the penalty.

No. 9 of the Dongze team rushed to make a supplementary shot to the ball that was rejected by Lin Ce. This time, his shot focused on exertion.

Lin Ce fell to the ground and began to react secondly, but the strength of the ball was really good, and he failed to catch the ball.

After the cheers at home, the fans made regretful voices. Lin Ce did a very good job, and they gave him applause.

Although they fell behind by one goal, they were still not disappointed, and the cheers became louder.
