Chapter 22: 114-year record and 50-year record!
Chen Xiaoliang, who was seeing this kind of scene for the first time, stood aside with his chin supported by his left hand and his mouth covered, until he saw Barisic being carried off the field.
Gerrard replaced Barisic with Nigerian international Uglumba and kept shouting on the sidelines, warning Davis not to behave impulsively again.
The game continued after a five-minute break.
Without Barisic's cooperation, Chen Xiaoliang's presence on the field instantly weakened. After stealing the ball several times, the ball was snatched back by the opponent again because there was no protection from his teammates around him.
Uglumba is a player with a completely different style from Barisic. He is physically strong, fast, and has outstanding confrontation ability, but his skills and awareness are much inferior.
He and Chen Xiaoliang, two guys with rough feet, gathered on the left side at the same time, making the Rangers' attack on the left side immediately less threatening.
Bowis was very proud of his action just now. Every time he passed by Chen Xiaoliang, he used trash talk and spit on the grass to provoke Chen Xiaoliang.
Chen Xiaoliang was so angry that he couldn't help but wanted to take advantage of the referee's inattention and learn the moves of a legendary star to butt his head against Bowes' chest.
But this is 2020, the era of VAR (video replay system) that is omnipresent. Even if the referee cannot see it, VAR can play every frame of the picture over and over again for the referee to see.
Scene after scene flashed through Chen Xiaoliang's mind.
Granted, he was a player who made his way into the Rangers first team with his fierce defensive skills, but he never intended to deliberately hurt anyone.
He has always kept the words of Tottenham youth team coach Ryan Mason in mind and regards them as golden rules on the court.
Even the tackle against Ethan Hahon in the previous game was aimed at the ball, but the ball happened to hit Ethan Hahon's standing leg, causing him to sprain his ankle.
Afterwards, Chen Xiaoliang learned from the media that Ethan Hahong would recover after a week of rest, and he felt much more at ease.
But the Bowis in front of him was different. He was a butcher, as if he was an executioner who came on the field with the order to kill and destroy other people's careers.
A beast who has no bottom line for league points.
Chen Xiaoliang has been struggling with a question in his mind:
Should we talk about sports ethics with such people?
Do you want it?
Do not want?
Do you want it?!
Do not want? !
How to repay kindness when you repay evil with kindness? !
However, using violence will only lead to a trap, and a red card plus a suspension is not an option that is responsible for the team.
But he already has a plan. Since Powis likes to act wild on the court, he will use the rules of the court and his unique abilities to avenge Barisic!
In the 69th minute, Rangers got a corner kick on the left.
After Barisic left the field, the penalty kick for the left corner was given to old Davis.
After being silent for 5 minutes, Chen Xiaoliang unexpectedly did not stay in the back to defend, but appeared in front of the penalty area.
Uglumba, who had just come on the field, saw his determined eyes and took the initiative to retreat outside the penalty area to defend.
After all, he is the hottest star in the team and a favorite in the eyes of the coach. As a rotation substitute, Uglumba has some idea of this.
After old Davis raised his hand to signal, he took a run and kicked the corner kick, but Chen Xiaoliang did not rush to the first landing point.
Central defender Balogun jumped up and headed the ball straight into the goal, but because the angle was too straight, the Dundee United goalkeeper subconsciously reached out to save it, and the ball fell right at the feet of Powis who was guarding the far post.
Powis immediately kicked the ball and tried to clear it, but when everyone's attention was still on the goalkeeper's save, Chen Xiaoliang fell to the ground and slid towards Powis.
Powis was too late to clear the ball, as Chen Xiaoliang shoveled it into the Dundee United goal, taking Powis' body with him!
3 to 0!
At Ibrox Stadium and in the Penguins live broadcast room, all the fans were blown away in an instant!
[Do you think that if both the player and the ball score a goal, should it be counted as two goals?]
【23333】
[This dirty bitch's retribution came so quickly! The one he hit just now was aimed at someone! ]
【Chen Xiaoliang YYDS!!!】
In addition to the barrage carnival, in the Penguin live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, who were commentating on the game, also gave Chen Xiaoliang great praise.
Zhan Jun: "This goal went in! You know, this is the first time a Red Country player has scored a goal in the Scottish Premier League in 11 years since Zheng Zhi scored the only goal for Celtic in the 2009-10 season!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this goal was scored by a thief."
Zhan Jun: "And Chen Xiaoliang, who scored this goal, broke the record of the youngest goalscorer in the Scottish Premier League and Rangers history at the age of 16 years and 114 days!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, you performed really well."
Zhan Jun: “In fact, there is another record in this game! If Rangers can continue to keep a clean sheet today, it will be the first time in 114 years that a team in the Scottish Premier League has achieved a super record of not conceding a goal in the first seven rounds of the season!
16 years, 114 days and 114 years, Coach Zhang, do you think this is a coincidence? "
Zhang Lu: "Hehe, this is really interesting."
…
On the field, Bowes, who had just triumphantly knocked down a Rangers main player, climbed out of the goal in frustration.
Although Chen Xiaoliang's sliding shot did not hurt him, it was undoubtedly a naked humiliation for the score to be widened in such a way that both the man and the ball rolled into his own goal.
After accepting the congratulations from his teammates, Chen Xiaoliang turned around and gave Bowes a cold look, as if to say, we're not done yet, this is just the appetizer.
Assistant coach McAllister on the sidelines kept clapping. He had never expected that Chen Xiaoliang could actually score a goal in this game. This more or less dispelled the gloom of Barisic's serious injury and leaving the field.
"This kid is so calm that he was able to control his inner anger and fight back against his opponent with a goal. This kind of ability to control emotions shouldn't exist at his age."
Listening to McAllister's praise, Gerrard felt a little uneasy.
He and Chen Xiaoliang have lived under the same roof for more than a month. Although they cannot be said to know each other very well, in his impression, the boy who is still practicing hard at 11 o'clock at night is definitely not someone who would give up .
Moreover, he has already lost a key player. Judging from the fact that Barisic was unconscious after being injured just now, the lightest symptom is a moderate concussion. This kind of injury requires at least a week of observation in the hospital. If everything goes well, there will be about two weeks of follow-up visits and recovery training.
If things don't go well or if it's a severe concussion, you'll most likely have to rest for about three months. If you also injure your cervical spine, your career may even be over.
"Find a time when it's almost time to replace him."
The score was already 3-0, and victory was in sight, but there were still 31 rounds of the league to go, so he had to make the safest choice.
After Gerrard finished speaking, McAllister immediately turned around, asked Jack on the bench to change his jersey, and then walked towards the fourth official to request a substitution for Chen Xiaoliang.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Chen Xiaoliang muttered to himself.
He saw Jack warming up on the field and knew that Gerrard was going to replace him, but he had not yet done what he wanted to do.
The goal just now was just an accident. He was just trying to find a second landing point, trying to steal the ball in the chaos help his teammates score a goal, but he didn't expect the ball to go to Powis' feet.
But in any case, the effect he wanted was achieved, and from the resentful look in Bowes' eyes, it could be seen that the effect was simply outstanding.
Dundee United kicked off from the center circle and Powis returned to Chen Xiaoliang again.
Looking at Jack, who was already ready to play, and the fourth official with his number plate in his hand, Chen Xiaoliang prayed :
"Don't die the ball, don't die the ball!"
Because from now on, whenever there is a dead ball, the fourth official will raise a sign on the sidelines to replace the player.
Dundee United organized an attack, and after a long shot was confiscated by goalkeeper McGregor, the ball came to the feet of old Davis.
As he was slowly dribbling the ball forward and trying to find a point to pass the ball, Chen Xiaoliang moved forward and reached out to him for the ball.
Old Davis was stunned for a moment, he even suspected that he had seen the wrong person!
Chen Xiaoliang actually asked for the ball?! He almost never participated in organizing the offense.
But on second thought, in the first half, Chen Xiaoliang did make a precise long pass to Barisic, helping the latter to assist his teammates to score. Could it be that Chen Xiaoliang got the feeling again?
After a slight hesitation, old Davis passed the ball behind him.
Bowes watched Chen Xiaoliang asking for the ball. Still immersed in his previous anger, how could he let Chen Xiaoliang succeed?
He started at full speed and chased in the direction of the ball. After a few steps, he squeezed together with Chen Xiaoliang who was also chasing the ball.
