Coaching career started as a college team coach

Chapter 95



Martin Taylor didn't know what kind of ecstasy Martin had given Livermore. Sky Sports certainly took the League Cup quarter-final very seriously. They would definitely send a lip reader. I believe I would hear the result after the game.

After Livermore hit the penalty high, Martinez was not as excited as he was when he saved the first goal. He just waved his fist to celebrate. Livermore, who was in a state of dismay, walked to the center circle without looking back.

Coady walked up and hugged Martinez to celebrate. This time, Martinez also picked up the football himself and handed it to Coady.

The two did not talk much. They looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

There was no need for them to say anything empty words between teammates who cooperated tacitly in the back line. Martinez trusted Coady, just as Coady trusted Martinez.

This time, Hull City goalkeeper Jakupovic seemed to have discovered the power of Martin's mentality, so he also started jumping around to interfere with Coady.

But Coady just looked at him, his eyes like a pool of dead water.

That's it? The jump was not as good as Martinez's in the training class that day. Coady was calm and even wanted to laugh.

The referee blew the whistle, and Coady started sprinting from outside the penalty area and kicked the ball to the middle!

This was such a bold choice. Wei Le's heart almost stopped for a second when he saw the ball flying to the middle!

But the worst thing did not happen, because Jakupovic had already flown to the right.

The football flew into the goal safely, and Jakupovic pounded the ground angrily. He felt that Coady's choice to kick the middle was completely humiliating himself.

"This is Coady's big heart! When others racked their brains to think about how to kick the ball tricky, Coady did the opposite. He pushed the middle. He was predicting the opponent's prediction!" Martin Taylor laughed and said loudly.

"The score has become 1-3, Hull City has scored a goal, and after three rounds, the visiting Wolves have already led by two goals. In any case, if the next ball can be saved, then the game is over!!"

Martinez and Michael Dawson have become the two people in the spotlight. Martinez took a deep breath facing Michael Dawson. This time he did not interfere with Dawson's mentality.

Michael Dawson seemed very calm, although he knew that the pressure was on him. But the 30-year-old veteran has experienced many storms and waves, and of course he will not easily capsize here.

The referee blew the whistle, and Dawson pushed an angle to the lower left corner. And the moment he kicked the ball, Martinez also jumped out. He judged the direction correctly and stretched his arms as much as possible to end the game.

But the football flew into the net before him!

Michael Dawson raised his arms and shouted, rekindling the emotions of the Hull City fans on the scene. Hull City is still not out, and there is still hope!

2-3.

Yes, we still have a chance! Hull City fans then erupted again, they shouted desperately, as if Michael Dawson scored the winning goal and they won.

The Wolves fans were a little disappointed. The people in Todd's bar all looked dejected. They had the opportunity to end the game now. But no one would blame Martinez, because he had done well enough.

Martinez sighed and took the ball out of the net.

He was disappointed, but the loss did not affect his mood too much. The probability of scoring a penalty in a penalty shootout is much higher than the probability of not scoring a penalty.

Even if he lost the ball, it was natural. As a goalkeeper, he had the right to make many mistakes. But it was not normal for the penalty shooter to miss the ball. In regular time, the goalkeeper was the one who was worried, but now, in a penalty shootout, the penalty shooter was obviously under more pressure than the goalkeeper.

The next player to play was Bowen.

He stood in front of the penalty spot and breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped back a few steps and started to run. But...

"It's high!!!" Martin Taylor's exclamation came from the TV, and there was an uproar in the bar, "It's high! The ball flew directly from the top of the door frame. The boy obviously wanted to use too much force!"

Bowen closed his eyes.

Facing the familiar stands and the familiar team, it is always difficult to get rid of the random thoughts in my mind. I really want to score a goal, but as the saying goes, haste makes waste.

Now, if the team doesn't win, then I will be the sinner. Bowen covered his face with both hands.

The moment Bowen kicked the ball away, the whole bar fell silent, and then there was a wailing. Could it be that the past few years will repeat themselves again? Is Wei Le's arrival just...A flash in the pan?

They have been in the lower league for too long, and have experienced too many setbacks and failures, so they cling to Wei Le's straw, but they are afraid that this is actually a mirage.

"Stop howling!"

People quieted down, turned their heads, and looked at the source of the sound standing in the middle - Todd.

"It's so noisy, it's like he's fucking dead." Todd's face was not good, "The game is not over yet, it's not time to wail yet!"

"I support Wolves, I choose to believe in Wei, and I believe they can win. I don't care what you think, at least be fucking quiet when I watch the game!"

After saying this, Todd took a sip of beer.

The bar was quiet for a long time, with only the sound of people drinking and Martin Taylor's commentary.

"... Although Bowen missed the penalty, it was not the focus of the game, and Wolves were still leading. In any case, if Martinez saved the next penalty, then Wolves will win directly!"

Yes, the situation is not serious. The fans also reacted. It was just a missed penalty. Are they so fragile that they can't even accept this now?

"Leave it to me." Martinez said with a smile, and he hugged Bowen's shoulders.

Bowen was about to cry, "But I..."

"Just tell me whether you believe me or not." Martinez looked very confident.

"Believe me."

"If you believe me, that's it." Martinez pushed Bowen, "Go back and watch how I beat them up."

Bowen walked back to the center circle, and Martinez's expression became serious. Martinez firmly believed that since he had made a boast, he must save this damn ball.

This ball was taken by winger Diomande.

Bowen just missed the ball, and Diomande was very happy. After Bowen left, many people compared him with Diomande. Because both of them are wingers, originally, the position of winger would be a competition between Diomande and Bowen.

After Bowen left, Diomand secured the starting position, but his performance was far below people's expectations. The two came to Hull City one after the other, Bowen came in 2014, and Diomand came in 2015.

At that time, Bowen was just an unknown player in the youth training camp, while the 25-year-old Diomand had already had his own position in the first team. But a year or two later, Bowen was constantly improving, but Diomand seemed to have reached his peak and began to decline.

Now, Bowen has changed his club and his performance is getting better and better, while Diomand, although he has occupied the starting position, has been disappointing.

Over time, many people have asked whether it is the right choice to sell Bowen easily?

Diomand is of course aware of the discussions outside, and he has been holding his breath in his heart. And now, the opportunity has come. When the two met, Diomand scored a penalty, and Bowen missed a penalty, which seems to be the best opportunity for revenge.

Diomande suddenly laughed. He had thought about it. He would push the ball to the middle in a while, just like Coady did.

Diomande stood in front of the penalty spot, and then he retreated to the outside of the penalty area and spread his legs.

Martinez looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly, and he stretched his hands and got ready.

Diomande slowly ran up, one step, two steps.

There was a dead silence in the bar, even Martin Taylor stopped talking temporarily, and everyone was watching Diomande's movements. Wei Le's eyes widened, and Celars beside him even turned his back. He didn't dare to look at this scene.

Coady hugged Bowen, Bowen covered his mouth with both hands, and his body was shaking constantly.

One step, two steps.

Diomande suddenly moved forward and kicked the ball directly to the center of the goal! And the center of gravity of Martin had already fallen to the side.

It's over! Bowen didn't dare to look anymore, he closed his eyes.

He heard silence, and then the next second.

There was a cry of surprise, and - from the small Wolves fan area, there was a fierce cheer!

"He did it!!!"
