Reading wanted to give Wimbledon a look, while Wimbledon athletics wanted Reading to know that they were crazy gangs.

So the two teams did not go through any tentative stage at all and directly started a big offensive.

"Wimbledon Athletics performed very positively at the beginning of this game! It was completely different from the previous two semi-finals..."

"It seems that Chu gave up the strategy of defensive counterattack...Reading launched a defensive counterattack..." Although Russell has returned and participated in the pre-match press conference as the head coach, the commentator still habitually believes that all this was arranged by Chu Zhongtian.

What he said was very correct. This set of tactics was indeed designed by Chu Zhongtian.

The TV broadcast gave Russell a shot on the coach's seat, which was meaningful.

Russell in the picture looked at the stadium with a calm face. In fact, the broadcast wanted to see from Russell's expression that he had robbed the head coach's power. The two of them were particularly united at the press conference, but if this was the case, they still wanted to observe again. Unfortunately, they didn't see anything.

Under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian, Wimbledon Athletic launched a fierce offensive towards Reading's goal.

Reading put on a defensive counterattack stance to wait for Wimbledon's offense.

This scene is quite like Wimbledon Athletic vs Ipswich in the semifinals.

Reading's head coach Hawen was very happy. He just wanted Wimbledon to attack them, and then they grabbed the space behind the opponent and fought back.

Because this is a single game elimination and a final, there is no need to consider factors such as "goal difference" and "away goals". There is only one thing to consider, that is the result.

As long as you can win, no matter if you win one or ten goals, there is no difference. If you win, you can upgrade. If you lose, you have to go back to the English Championship.

Reading's head coach Michael Havin doesn't care about the scene of this game, he just needs to win.

"Kevin Clark! He received Chu's pass, but couldn't turn around... Reading's defense was very tight! Seren Simmons pressed Clark tightly, Clark could only pass back helplessly, and the football returned to Chu's feet..."

Chu Zhongtian just received the ball, and Reus Harrison, one of Reading's three midfielders, rushed up and swept the football and Chu Zhongtian's calf!

Chu Zhongtian almost reflexed the football and jumped up at the same time, barely avoiding the other party's fierce sweeping leg.

Kurt Hammons next to him raised his arms to protest to the referee for his almost intentional injury.

Chu Zhongtian did not do this. After he landed, he stabilized his center of gravity and went to chase football.

Reading obviously did not intend to let him go like this. Although he was the first midfielder, Reus Harrison, was avoided by him, Reading still had two midfielders... For this game, Harwen sent three midfielders in the starting lineup, which was obviously to curb Chu Zhongtian. The arrangement of the three midfielders also ensured that even if one midfielder was sent off, it would not affect the team's overall defensive quality.

For this reason, he did not arrange a wing player. Although he has a high center forward and a center with excellent heading, he seems to be planning to rely on the fullback to assist. Behind the center, there is a frontcourt libero with a very free position, similar to the front midfielder and shadow forward.

His main task is to cooperate with high center Eddie Woodgate, pass the ball to Woodgate, or grab Woodgate the second landing point that Woodgate competes for the top.

On the back line, Hawen even arranged five defenders, three of which were central defenders, two in the front and one in the back as a scavenger. He would clear any threat of breaking into the penalty area.

In order to prevent Wimbledon's Athletics, or to limit Chu Zhongtian's performance, Michael Hawen has used any means.

The second midfielder Eric Barker rushed up quickly, and this time he made a very fierce frontal flying shovel!

Chu Zhongtian had only time to poke the football open, and he didn't have time to jump up and hide, so he was directly put to the ground by the other party!

"Foof!" Wimbledon Athletics fans in the stands roared.

The referee's whistle sounded.

The foul, Baker immediately got up from the ground, raised his hands to act innocently, and at the same time he went to La Chu Zhongtian friendly and patted his head.

Chu Zhongtian did feel pain when he was shoveled, but he did not show it. In the face of the other party's show of kindness, he did not respond positively, but was just pulled up by him.

After pulling Chu Zhongtian up, Baker, who was fouled, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to the referee, and walked over to explain: "I didn't mean it... His movements were too fast! I was indeed heading for the ball... Look, I didn't even get off the ground just now..."

The referee didn't know if he had his own judgment or was influenced by his explanation, so he did not show him a yellow card in the end, but just a verbal warning. Of course, Barker was grateful and said he accepted the warning, and then turned around and left it aside.

Wimbledon Athletics fans in the stands booed a huge boo to express their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.

Even the commentator felt that the penalty was debatable: "I thought the referee would give Barker a yellow card, but the result was nothing, there was only one verbal warning! Maybe he thought that giving a yellow card too early would greatly reduce the excitement of the game? But I think that if this violation of Chu Zhongtian was not curbed, the excitement of the game would greatly reduce the excitement of the game!"

Chu Zhongtian's midfield partner Kurt Hammons was very unhappy. He shouted at the referee: "You really should think about this decision!"

The referee ignored him, and he wanted to continue yelling, but was stopped by Chu Zhongtian.

"Stop talking, Kut. They want to anger us..." Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that the other party was using killing tactics, and he thought that the other party was trying to anger them and make them lose their calmness.

Hammons glared at the foul Barker fiercely, but he obeyed Chu Zhongtian's words.

If it were before, he might have been directly with the referee. His temper has improved a lot after being tempered by Chu Zhongtian this season...※※※When Barker ran back, he shrugged at his midfielder Royce Harrison and Edwin Grayton and shook his head.

If Chu Zhongtian could be abolished from the beginning, the game would be much easier.

Just like Wimbledon in the FA Cup final, he tackled the opponent's main striker McMahon in the first three minutes, which not only caused Liverpool's offensive strength to be damaged, but also greatly affected the opponent's morale. In the end, Wimbledon incredibly defeated the powerful Liverpool on this stadium and won the championship trophy.

Reading wants to follow Wimbledon of that year.

Harrison was more concerned about whether his teammates had really shoveled Chu Zhongtian. He asked: "Did you confirm that you hit the shovel?"

Barkel nodded with certainty: "Step right in his ankle. I can feel it..."

Harrison looked at Chu Zhongtian thoughtfully, trying to see some clues from his walking posture, but unfortunately he was disappointed. Chu Zhongtian looked normal when walking, without limping, and without a painful expression on his face.

In fact, when Baker just shoveled to Chu Zhongtian, he did feel pain, but he no longer felt it at this time.

His opponents don’t know that since Chu Zhongtian was diagnosed with hidden dangers in his ankles and knees by the hospital, he would wrap a special bandage on his ankles and knees in every game to protect these two parts. You can still see the bandages on his knees, but the socks on his ankles are blocked, but they cannot be seen.

Chu Zhongtian is not a real reckless man. He wants nothing for football. He still needs to do necessary protective measures.

These measures ensured that he had not encountered any serious injuries for so long.

Now it also plays a role in this game.

"It's okay, there's still a lot of time. It's only five minutes..." said another midfielder, Grayton.

In fact, only two of these three midfielders are the main midfielders. Grayton is a substitute and does not have many opportunities to play. He mainly serves as substitutes for the first two teammates. Their three styles are similar, so it is impossible to play at the same time. However, this game is different. Reading's head coach Michael Hawen hopes to let three meat grinders go up to deal with Chu Zhongtian.

Greyton was very excited about starting in such an important game, and he was eager to try against a star of Chu Zhongtian. Unfortunately, Barker stopped Chu Zhongtian just now and asked him to prepare for a game in vain.

But after that, Chu Zhongtian couldn't escape!

※※※Chu Zhongtian didn't know what to pay attention to when the three backs on the opposite side were staring at him. He was trying to break Reading's intensive defense and open up the situation as soon as possible.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that Reading would defend and counterattack before, but he didn't expect that Reading's "defense" was so thorough. Five defenders and three midfielders, almost all of these eight people were responsible for defense. There were only Eddie Woodgate and Lanson Tony in the frontcourt participated in the attack. It seemed that Reading was to fight back if he could counterattack, and would never take risks if he could not counterattack. He would rather defend until the end of the game. If he played the penalty, Chu Zhongtian would not be able to play his advantage - no matter how powerful he was, he was only one person, and he only had one chance to shoot. Even if he entered and his teammates shot away, he would be unable to turn the world back.

Such a defense is enough to be called "intensive". It is indeed difficult to break such an iron barrel formation... Reading obviously put on a defensive counterattack, just to avoid losing the ball and then play Wimbledon's counterattack. The key to dealing with this defensive counterattack is not defense, but attack. If Wimbledon can score a goal as soon as possible, all problems will be solved. Behind Reading must push out the offense and strive for a goal, so it will give Wimbledon's more opportunities. This is a game of winning or losing, so it is not feasible to win here. As long as Reading falls behind, the tactic of defensive counterattack will not be used.

There are many ways to break intensive defense, such as long shots, or set pieces, or on the side.

And these measures need to be implemented and planned and launched.

That person is Chu Zhongtian.

As long as Reading can freeze Chu Zhongtian, it can freeze Wimbledon's offense.

When Chu Zhongtian got the ball again, Harrison rushed forward again.

Reading's three midfielders received a special reminder from head coach Hawen before the game: If one of the three of them just fouled in defense and attracted the attention of the referee, then the next time he defended, he would temporarily retreat and let the other two people go up to defend, reducing the chance of one person getting a card and reducing the pressure on defense.

Barker had just used a fierce frontal tackle to make everyone remember him. Although the referee was just a verbal warning this time, if he went up and kicked him immediately, he would definitely be shown a yellow card or even a red card by the referee... He is like a player who killed someone in the game just now and must be kept low-key.

Harrison was still the leader, while Grayton was waiting for an opportunity to move behind. If Harrison could stop Chu Zhongtian, there would be no need for him to play. If Harrison could not do it, he would have to rush forward and block Chu Zhongtian.

In fact, Grayton hopes that his teammate Harrison cannot do it, so that he can have a chance to show up... He has been looking forward to the duel with Chu Zhongtian for a long time. In the league, Reading and Wimbledon played twice, but he did not get a chance to play, and one of them was not even on the 16-man roster.

Chu Zhongtian joined Wimbledon Athletics as the "bigest foreign player in the history of the English Championship". His arrival has become the focus of the entire English Championship League. He is also a star in every round of the English Championship League. He has won three European Champions League, was elected as the World Footballer three times and the European Golden Globe winner four times. Beating such a star has a very great sense of accomplishment for Grayton.

Only by letting such a star fall under him can his ability be demonstrated!

This time, Harrison did not directly pounce on the sweeping legs, but chose to defend closely. He was not a fool - it was too easy for the opponent to pounce on him directly. If he was beaten by himself every time and threw the fat meat to his teammates behind him, wouldn't he seem too incompetent?

He pressed against Chu Zhongtian, preventing Chu Zhongtian from turning around, and then put his feet on the back - he stepped on Chu Zhongtian's left heel!

The left foot that supported the foot was stomped on the ground suddenly made Chu Zhongtian lose his balance and was about to fall to the ground!

"This must be a foul!" the commentator started yelling.

Huge boo sounded in the stands.

But at this moment, Chu Zhongtian supported his body with his left hand and quickly stood up and blocked Harrison behind him again!

Harrison didn't expect that Chu Zhongtian was not put to the ground by him, so he simply kicked Chu Zhongtian's calf again.

Everyone who plays football has experience with the feeling of being kicked in the calf. Chu Zhongtian's calf was kicked hard, but he still did not fall to the ground.

Judging from his appearance, you can't even feel that he was kicked into his calf. However, after Harrison kicked out, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Chu Zhongtian not falling to the ground.

Chu Zhongtian felt the pressure from behind him lightened. He seized this opportunity and quickly took the football out and got rid of Harrison!

"Harrison failed to cut off the ball in two consecutive kicks! Instead, Chu successfully got rid of it... Oh, be careful!"

The commentator exclaimed before he could cheer for Chu Zhongtian.

He saw another Reading midfielder, Edwin Grayton, hitting him violently!

Chu Zhongtian was hit hard by Grayton, but he did not fall. He just staggered and took advantage of the impact of the opponent's collision to take the football in one direction!

When Greton saw that he had not knocked Chu Zhongtian down, he rushed forward fiercely, trying to knock Chu Zhongtian to the ground with the ball. This time he would not miss it!

Unexpectedly, he had just come to bully him, Chu Zhongtian suddenly pulled the football behind him as if he had eyes in his head, and at the same time he stopped and stepped down. Grayton, who was in a fierce manner, flashed over!

Chu Zhongtian, who had got rid of the opponent's two defensive players, did not continue to dribble because the opponent's first midfielder Harrison had already rushed up. He quickly transferred the football to the other side and gave Jack Yang, who was responding on the right.

After receiving the ball, Jack Young did not dribble the ball, but made a cross directly!

Kevin Clark jumped high in the penalty area and prepared to head the ball. However, he did not encounter football, which was pushed out by Reading's central defender and captain Seren Simmons!

Reading's head coach Michael Hawen laughed silently when he saw this scene off the court.
