Chapter 29 Never Before Has There Been Such a Wonderful Start! First Win + Man of the Match, Liu Yi&
Chapter 29 Never Before Has There Been Such a Wonderful Start! First Win + Man of the Match, Liu Yi&
The game resumes after switching sides.
The home team was eager to equalize, and their attacking pace suddenly quickened.
Liu Yi was able to catch his breath during the halftime break. Now that his energy has recovered slightly, he has started making runs and positioning in the attacking third again.
Mariapa, Watford's most reliable defensive player, was now chasing Liu Yi around like a headless fly.
Watford manager McKay frowned.
The first substitution was used very quickly.
Young striker Deeney stood on the sidelines, ready to enter the game.
"OK, it's my turn." Dini stretched his ankles and looked at the field, muttering to himself, "It looks like that Liu has caused Mariapa quite a bit of trouble. If I have a son in the future, I hope he can be as smart as him."
If Liu Yi heard this, he would definitely complain: "What do you mean, 'Having a child should be like Kong Yi'?"
The electronic substitution board on the sidelines shows the substitutions.
Will Barkley #11
Number 9 Disney
Some of the names are familiar.
No, wait, it's Deeney, Watford vs Leicester City...
These keywords, when strung together, reminded Liu Yi of a Championship play-off match a year ago, where the two teams faced off and Watford were conceded a penalty in the final moments, but Watford miraculously saved the penalty and then came back to defeat Leicester City in the end – a classic scenario.
It shouldn't be this season.
This season, Leicester City's squad is going to be a disaster in the Championship play-offs!
Ten minutes later.
Leicester City also made substitutions.
Andy King, who assisted Liu Yi, was substituted.
Another ball-controlling midfielder, Oakley, took to the field.
Liu Yi hesitated.
His energy was almost depleted.
Should we tell Eriksson in advance, give him a heads-up, and reserve a substitution spot for him?
Don't use all your energy on other people at once.
It would be quite unpleasant to see someone just strolling around the field for the last twenty minutes.
65th minute!
Vassell made a lightning-fast breakthrough down the wing.
A low cross from the byline sweeps towards the goal.
Seeing Liu Yi run to receive the ball, Mariapa instinctively stuck to him.
In the chaos, he actually took the initiative and pushed Liu Yi down.
"I didn't do anything!"
Mariapa quickly raised his hands in surrender, while simultaneously turning his head to look for the referee's position.
"Stop looking, I'm right here."
The referee's large face suddenly appeared, startling Mariapa.
It turned out he was nearby and had witnessed everything that had just happened.
"A foul occurred inside the penalty area."
After a moment's hesitation, the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
The Watford players were outraged, believing that Liu Yi had faked the fall.
On the field, team captain Oakley quickly walked over, squatted down, and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder.
"Liu, how are you? Are you alright?"
Liu Yi looked pained and shook his head with difficulty.
Oakley got anxious when he heard the Watford players chattering next to the referee.
He stepped forward and angrily rebuked, "Don't be shameless! You kicked him so badly he can't even stand up, and you're saying he faked the fall?"
The referee noticed that Liu Yi had not gotten up for a long time, so he went over to check on him.
Then he signaled for the Foxes City team doctor to come onto the field.
The Watford players then quieted down.
Yes! That foul was a foregone conclusion. Their own guard injured the player, and then they suspected him of faking it.
Some people showed expressions of embarrassment and regret.
"Can you still hold on?"
Oakley continued to ask questions.
Liu Yi shook his head.
He was being lifted onto a stretcher by several staff members.
It feels so good to be lying down like this.
I was also exhausted, so I took this opportunity to have the old coach substitute me.
"Then Paul will take the penalty you won."
Paul Gallagher is Leicester City's first-choice penalty taker.
"Liu, rest in peace. I will never forget your kindness. If this penalty kick goes in, you deserve half the credit!"
Eriksson stood on the sidelines, extremely anxious.
If anything were to happen to Liu Yi, Leicester City would lose a major weapon in their attack!
Moreover, seeing the child lying motionless on the stretcher...
A sense of foreboding crept into Erikson's mind.
The stretcher carrying Liu Yi was carried to the sidelines.
Erickson waved his hand frantically: "Quick! Get Liu Yi into the ambulance and check his injuries."
The team doctor looked troubled.
When he came on stage, Liu Yi cried out in pain no matter where he pressed, so he couldn't tell where the kid was injured at all.
"It's alright, Boss, I'm fine."
As Liu Yi spoke, he slowly got up from the stretcher, moved to the seat next to Lingard on the substitute bench, unscrewed a can of energy drink, and gulped it down.
Eriksson: ...
※※※
Paul Gallagher lived up to expectations, scoring in one fell swoop.
1: 3!
Leicester City extended their lead.
For the remainder of the game, Watford attempted to mount a comeback.
The score remained unchanged.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
The referee blew his whistle three times, and the match officially ended.
Liu Yi and his teammates walked out of the bench, raising their arms and shouting as they headed towards the away team's stands.
One goal, one penalty.
The young Chinese player's Championship debut was nothing short of perfect!
Back in the locker room.
Liu Yi stared quietly at the rather plain-looking small trophy in front of him.
It was a beautiful red-haired reporter with bright red lips who put it into her hand after the game.
"Congratulations, Liu! You have been named the best player of the match."
The system notification sound still lingered in my mind.
[Ding! Host has been selected as the MVP of this match!]
Collecting all three Championship Man of the Match awards will grant you a chance to upgrade your badge from Iron to Bronze.
Current progress: 1/3

The old Sina Sports website had a dedicated section for overseas players.
Updates are infrequent.
Occasionally, the news updates will have eye-catching headlines, but when you click on them, the content is thin and often disappointing.
For example, something like, "Yu Dabao's Secret Trip to Portugal: Did Ronaldo Personally Invite Him?"
Wang Gang has passed his medical examination and is ready to sign with a top Portuguese club, adding another key player to the Portuguese contingent.
Schalke 04 hosts Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, Ko Jun-min scores a hat-trick!!
Holy crap, Chinese people are awesome!
soon!
With a click, Liu Yi clicked on it.
The result was that Schalke 04 was thrashed 1-7 by Bayern Munich. Gao Junmin, who was injured, watched from the sidelines in the VIP box, wearing a baseball cap and chatting with his friends.
(This news shocked me so much that I couldn't calm down for a long time.)
You silly editor!
Today, the overseas players section saw a flurry of updates.
Chinese youngster shines in the Championship! A goal and a penalty won, earning him Man of the Match award!
Is Manchester United's crown prince gaining experience in the Championship? He may succeed Berbatov!
Eriksson: Liu's debut performance was impeccable, and his potential for growth is enormous.
Those fans who clicked in with a grumble and were ready to criticize the editor before leaving discovered that this time it was actually true.
Their anger turned to astonishment, and they began to worship Emperor Yi...
Three Player of the Game awards seem difficult, but they are actually not easy either.
To win MVP, you have to be on the winning team and also be the best player on the team.
In the four Championship matches before the end of the year, Leicester City achieved two wins, one draw, and one loss.
Liu Yi scored two goals and provided one assist in these four matches.
However, he was named Man of the Match only once in the two victories.
One more MVP is needed to upgrade the badge.
The last training session of 2010.
Lingard and Liu Yi practiced passing and shooting extra, respectively.
Liu Yi passed the ball to Lingard, who, without stopping the ball, passed it back to him from outside the penalty area. Liu Yi then shot at the goal in various ways.
Goalkeeper Logan made one desperate save after another, but by then the net was already full of balls.
"Damn it, I can't get a single one out!"
Liu Yi raised his hand in response.
It's not an apology.
But you still need to practice, little brother.
[Shots on goal: 79-80!]
Overall rating: 69-70!
The upgraded template shows immediate results!
After nearly half a year, I finally managed to grind my way up from a total score of 65 to 70.
Now, surely no one will question that he can't even play in the Chinese Super League!
"That's about enough..."
Liu Yi waved to Lingard, signaling him to pull over the basket containing the ball.
Several people worked together to pick up the balls that had piled up like a small mountain in the goal and put them back into the basket one by one.
Logan rubbed his aching wrist.
One minute on stage, ten years off the stage.
"Did you also do 50 extra shots after your regular training sessions when you were at Manchester United? No wonder your shooting skills are so tricky."
Liu Yi stopped what he was doing and thought about it seriously.
I can't exactly tell Logan I have cinnamon while I'm grinding for proficiency.
"Um, you know, maybe... I just like this feeling of shooting."
