Chapter 129 First Victory

Name: Jordan Pickford

Age: 24 years old.

Status: Good.

Fatigue level: 5%.

Probability of injury: 1%.

Keywords: [Barrier], [Accurate Long Pass], [Butterfingers], [Defensive Goalkeeper].

His profile is pretty good; as a defensive goalkeeper, he also has an excellent long-passing technique.

However, it also maintained the tradition of English goalkeepers.

Joe Hart squinted as he watched the scene unfold on the field.

He is very unhappy right now.

Previously, the opposing team had taken his starting position in the national team, and now they've blocked a sure goal from his teammate.

Then, he looked at the opposing forwards.

We must make them taste what it's like to not be able to score in this match!

At this moment, Li Yanqing was surprised to find that Hart's condition was steadily improving.

Average, Good, Excellent...

Then he remembered that the opposing goalkeeper was Pickford.

It looks like Hart and the other side are at odds.

However, he really liked the players' competitive spirit.

usable!

"Louis! You switch places with Miller!"

"Push forward!"

"The firepower up front is insufficient!"

Li Yanqing was determined not to let Hart's sudden surge in form slip by and seized the opportunity to get his players on the offensive.

With Louis as an additional firepower point, their offensive threat becomes even greater.

"Ok!"

David Lewis rarely received such an order, and he happily rushed forward.

Nobody can persuade him to go back to defense today!

In the 32nd minute, Everton launched a counter-attack.

Rooney dribbled the ball to the middle, in a similar position to last time.

However, Pepe didn't have time to cover this time; he had to keep an eye on the opposing striker.

With no one marking him, Rooney calmly unleashed a long-range shot!

[Master-level Heavy Gunner]!

It seems he knows Hart very well...

However, this powerful shot aimed at the corner failed to breach Burton's goal.

Joe Hart lunged into the blind spot ahead of time!

He, who usually plays a supporting role, actually made a crucial save this time against a very dangerous long-range shot!

"So close!" Rooney pounded the air a few times, what a pity.

Not only did he understand Hart, but Hart also understood him.

Knowing that I can hit blind spots...

Joe Hart, who successfully made the save, gave Rooney a mysterious smile; they are old teammates on the national team and know each other very well.

The game has once again reached a stalemate.

The variable is David Lewis.

Li Yanqing sighed, "Buying this player was definitely the right choice."

He always manages to offer different perspectives at crucial moments.

In the 40th minute, Nasri sent a through ball, not to Ibrahimovic inside, but to David Luiz who was making a run forward.

The latter retaliated in kind, also unleashing the [Master-level Heavy Gunner]!

However, Pickford was in excellent form at this point, and the ball failed to defeat him, flying high into the sky!

"Quick! Save the ball!"

"Head the ball out!"

Pickford didn't have time to get up and could only shout.

He actually made a small mistake just now; if things had gone smoothly, he should have been able to send the ball out of bounds.

Damn butterflies...

Ibrahimovic displayed his prowess at this moment, holding off two opposing defenders single-handedly, preventing all three from taking a jump.

Then, he leaned forward, lifted his leg, and swept it upwards.

[The Expert on Poké Balls]!

A classic scorpion tail wag!

Pickford had only gotten halfway up when he reached out to try and stop the ball, but he couldn't reach it at all.

“gooooooooooal!”

"Eevee!"

"The iconic scorpion placement!"

"This move has appeared on the field once again!"

The way this goal was scored thrilled the commentators; it could very well be a goal that could contend for the Puskás Award!

"He scored!"

Burton leads 1-0!

The fans were stunned, and for a moment they even forgot to applaud.

After a moment of silence, sparse applause broke out.

Uh... this is Everton's home ground.

But it doesn't matter, this won't stop Burton from being proud for a while.

They're in the lead!

Ibrahimovic's first goal for Burton Albion!

The player grinned as he looked at the two defenders who were marking him.

Those were two young players; Everton did not field their full-strength squad against the newly promoted team.

I'm sure they'll remember the name "Zlatan Ibrahimovic" in the future.

"Substitute!"

"We'll make substitutions as soon as the second half begins!"

The opposing coach cannot accept his team losing to a newly promoted team.

They had just won against Chelsea and Arsenal, so it's just too outrageous for them to lose to a newly promoted team right away...

In the 50th minute of the second half, Li Yanqing made a substitution, following closely behind the opponent.

Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, was substituted, as was midfielder Nasri.

They made two key substitutions on the offensive end, bringing on Enzo and Murphy.

Enzo replaced Cazorla, while Cazorla moved up to the position of the midfield maestro.

The intention is simple: from now on, play a 4-5-1 counter-attacking style.

Enzo's mission this time was to focus on defense, and only after he was able to accomplish the defensive task would he consider taking on organizational responsibilities.

Let's see how much he can learn from Cazorla...

When counter-attacking, either Murphy or Mattias must be on the field. Li Yanqing chose Murphy for this match because the latter started and played the full 90 minutes in the previous game.

As for Quinn, he probably won't be playing in this game.

"Take your time, we're not in a rush!"

"The ones who should be worried now are our opponents!"

Li Yanqing hasn't stood on the sidelines yelling commands for a long time, but it's still necessary.

Young players are less likely to panic when they feel familiar with things, and familiar voices are one such example.

After Everton brought on their key players, they launched a counterattack against Burton.

Their attack was still very organized, advancing step by step.

However, they were unable to break through Burton's defense.

Enzo's "Master-level Cover" is not so easy to break through when he is focused on defense.

It's a pity that his [Interception] skill isn't at a master level, otherwise he could be aiming to reach Kanté's level.

Eightieth minute.

Everton, unable to break through after a prolonged attack, are starting to get anxious. Although Rooney has an incredible speed, his stamina is now nearing its limit.

For him, age and weight are major disadvantages.

During the attack, Baselli intercepted the ball and then passed it back to Pepe.

The latter seemed to have discovered something and immediately launched a powerful attack.

A high ball over the top!

Murphy caught the ball!

The opposing team brought on their starters, but they didn't change their defenders in terms of attack.

Because they want to catch up in the score.

So Murphy was comfortable; he still had plenty of energy and was fast enough.

He easily escaped a one-on-one situation.

[Pass the goalkeeper!]

The skill that hadn't been used in a long time was finally activated again. Although Pickford was in good condition, he still couldn't escape being beaten.

Burton 2-0 Everton!

But soon, the opposing team's newly substituted young striker also began his performance.

In stoppage time, he got past Enzo.

Then, a long-range shot defeated the relaxed Joe Hart.

competition is over!

Won!

Li Yanqing can now put her mind at ease.

But the other guy actually did a really good job.

The final goal that brought the score back was almost entirely achieved by one person alone...
