"Three-legged ball? What do you mean?"
This time, Pedro got no answer.
"Beep!"
When the whistle sounded, the Portsmouth midfielder raised his right hand and hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area.
On the whole, the home team played quite impressively in the second half, which was a bit more intense than the derby.
In the penalty area, the Saints were extremely nervous.
Looking at the ball flying in the air, no one knows whether he will be the "lucky one".
Finally, when the ball fell into the penalty area, goalkeeper Nimi shouted and rushed forward.
"do not move!"
"mine!!!"
As Nimi roared, the other defenders subconsciously moved to both sides.
Naturally, Portsmouth forward Vincent would not miss such a good opportunity. He took one step ahead to meet the ball and jumped high.
One is stuck in front of him, but he can only use his head; the other has just rushed behind him, but he can use his hands.
In the struggle between the two, the one who can use his hands still has the advantage.
Nimi punched the sky and knocked the ball out of the penalty area.
"Run forward!" center back Danny yelled.
When a goalkeeper clears the ball, it is most taboo for other players to be behind him.
If the ball is hit back to the penalty area by the opponent immediately, the defender at the end is likely to become the opponent's fulcrum to prevent offside.
With a "hurrah" sound, the Southampton players ran towards the outside of the penalty area. Some Portsmouth players were still observing the situation to see if there were any missed opportunities.
"I come!"
At this moment, there was a loud shout from outside the penalty area, and Wang Xiaodong, who was standing on the wall, rushed to the spot where the ball landed.
He wanted to get close to Pedro and then make some small moves. But at other times, he is still Southampton's defensive midfielder, and he does his part as the first place for the ball to break free like this.
Hearing Wang Xiaodong's shout, other Saints players also dispersed around as if they had been ordered by the goalkeeper.
Perod, who was near the ball's impact point, suddenly became wary and took a few steps back along with the other players.
Wang Xiaodong's few simple words just now were deeply engraved in his heart, like a sword of Damocles hanging above his head, which might cut off his head at any time.
"Don't be approached!"
"Don't let this guy find an opportunity to get close!"
"Go and make a living with him?"
"Stop dreaming!"
The sirens in Pedro's heart were blaring. He recognized that he did not want the ball and did not give his opponent a chance to get close.
Pedro, who was closest to the ball's impact point, backed away. Another teammate who was slightly closer tried to get in, but it was already too late.
Wang Xiaodong put one foot on the ground and flew into the air.
When he realized that no one was fighting against him, Wang Xiaodong raised his forehead and temporarily used his chest to face the ball.
Seeing this, Matthew Taylor quickly stepped forward to steal the ball.
You header the ball to clear the ball and I let you go, but if you want to stop the ball and adjust, don't blame me for waiting in place to "steal the chicken"!
He watched the ball hit Wang Xiaodong's chest and fall to the ground.
Matthew Taylor's eyes almost bulged out, and he stretched out his feet to steal the ball the moment it hit the ground.
But at this moment, a slight voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"one."
"ONE?"
Before Matthew Taylor could react, Wang Xiaodong, who landed on one leg, suddenly raised his entire body with his left foot as the center of the circle.
"Walter???"
Ouch~~~~
The ball that was blown away let out an unprecedented scream and passed by Matthew. This was no longer the long call of an ordinary bird, but more like the wail of an overwhelmed body.
Bang! ! !
It was only then that the muffled sound of the instep hitting the ball surface came.
Compared with the ball that suddenly jumped out, this muffled sound spread too slowly.
Where is the ball?
Where is the ball?
Where did he kick the ball? ? ?
Matthew Taylor turned quickly and looked to the left and front.
Bell's figure appeared on the center line, but after running two steps, he stopped.
He didn't pass it to Bale?
Then he is...
Phew~~~
A gust of wind blew by, and the late strong wind obviously flew slower than the previous two sonic booms.
Matthew covered his lifted jersey and looked in the direction the wind blew away.
A growing black shadow flew toward him in circles.
This is...
football? ? ?
Just as Matthew Taylor was stunned, another red and white figure suddenly jumped out from behind and headed towards the ball.
The former England Player of the Year stood there and watched helplessly as Wang Xiaodong raised his right leg again.
"three."
He heard that empty, distant voice again.
It seems to come from thousands of miles away, but it keeps lingering in my ears.
"THREE??? Where is TWO? Where did TWO go???"
"Eh?"
"wrong!"
"What is that...who is that?"
In Matthew Taylor's sight, a figure lying motionless on the ground suddenly appeared.
"Pedro?"
"What is he doing there?"
"When was he lying there?"
"Did he fall on his own?"
"still..."
There are thousands of thoughts in the brain, and the information conveyed by the eyes cannot keep up with the speed of brain reaction.
At this moment, Matthew Taylor was confused.
He used all his senses to collect information, but it was still seriously insufficient, causing him to be unable to understand the current situation clearly in a short period of time.
The dark pupils reflected the straight right leg and Pedro lying motionless on the ground.
"Pedro!"
"Get up quickly!"
"What are you doing?"
"Get out of the way!"
"Get away!!!"
Matthew Taylor yelled in his heart in despair.
"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The atomic bomb exploded in the air.
The sonic boom in the air was enough to make survivors who had experienced it tremble.
Once again the ball disappeared from Matthew Taylor's sight.
What was captured by his pupils was that Pedro, who had fallen to the ground almost straight towards him, rubbed his body backwards against the turf for more than a meter and rotated more than ninety degrees at the same time.
"Wang, De, Fa???"
Matthew Taylor's mind is filled with questions.
He still couldn't tell what had just happened.
But his subconscious told him that something was wrong...
No, it’s quite bad!
“Beep!!!!!”
An extra long whistle.
Bringing everyone who was still in a daze back to reality.
Boom!
Boom boom, boom boom boom boom boom…
The ball fell to the ground and bounced far to the side.
“Beep, beep, beep!!!!”
The long whistle turned into a flurry of short whistles. Miller held the whistle in his mouth and raised his right hand flatly, and quickly rushed to Wang Xiaodong.
Seeing that he had no intention of hitting the ball again, Miller breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as his teeth were loosened, the whistle fell freely to the ground and hung around his neck.
"Bah, bah."
Miller let out a long breath and spat several times. He accidentally bit off a few pieces of debris from the plastic whistle mouth.
But Miller no longer cared about this. He quickly rushed to Pedro who fell to the ground, lifted his head and opened his eyelids.
The dilated pupils told him that this man had already lost consciousness.
"Team doctor, team doctor!!!"
Miller raised his hands and kept yelling toward the sideline.
Hearing the referee's shout, some players on the outside also recovered and rushed to Pedro one by one.
Matthew Taylor bit his tongue to wake himself up.
He grabbed his teammates beside him and asked anxiously: "Vincent, what just happened???"
Many things on the football field happen in a flash of lightning, and even players who are close at hand may not be able to see clearly.
Vincent didn't blame his teammates for being so "blind" for standing so close. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, not sure whether it was fear or anger.
Looking along Vincent's fingertips, Matthew Taylor saw Wang Xiaodong being protected behind him by the Saints players.
"He...he...that damn yellow monkey..."
"He kicked Pedro in the head with his big kick, and then... he, he added another kick!"
A little extra?
Hearing Vincent's description, Matthew Taylor nodded, which was consistent with his subsequent memory fragments.
But when did he hit Pedro with his first kick?
Why didn't I notice anything or hear anything?
With doubts about this "accident", Matthew Taylor chose to raise his head, trying to find the missing part of his memory on the big screen.
The editor backstage was also very capable. He cut out such an exciting scene in less than two minutes and put it on the big screen according to the director's instructions.
It wasn't until he saw the ball that hit Pedro's forehead that it bounced towards him that Matthew Taylor suddenly woke up.
The moment Wang Xiaodong kicked this "long ball" with a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour, Pedro's head on the other side had already made close contact with the ball.
It's not that he didn't hear the sound of the ball hitting Pedro's head, but the sound was covered by the sound of Wang Xiaodong's first kick, and the two sounds sounded almost at the same time.
After figuring out the whole story, Matthew Taylor looked at Wang Xiaodong, who was standing behind his teammates and looking at him from afar. His heart suddenly became cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Kicked two balls with a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour in 5 seconds?
This is murder!
