Chapter 105: Restless Supporting Role (Part 2)

This warm-up match is not Preston's first warm-up match, nor is it Bolton's first warm-up match, but it is a special game in the history of Bolton Club - after the end of last season, the team's newly built Reebok Stadium, which can accommodate 28,000 people, was officially completed. They will bid farewell to the dilapidated Burton Stadium and settle in the more modern Reebok Stadium, which is of epoch-making significance for a team. The warm-up match between Bolton and Preston is the first game since the establishment of the new stadium!

Of course, the first game cannot be missed, so Bolton is also very cautious when choosing opponents. He must have a certain weight and must not be too strong, so that this game can be meaningful and representative.

So when Preston proposed to play a warm-up match with Bolton, Bolton immediately agreed to their request and invited Preston to play the game at their new stadium.

Bolton has taken great pains to use Preston as the first opponent of the new stadium. First, although the two teams are very close, there are not many entanglements. The relationship between the two sides is good. Home fans will not boo the opponent and create any discordant atmosphere. Second, Preston is just a newly promoted team in the League One. The team's strength is limited and it will not pose too much threat to them. Third, Bolton and Preston have a relationship - when the English League was established, Bolton

Five teams including Preston and Aston Villa, Everton, Burnley, Wolves and Derbyshire are the initiators. They are also known as the "Seven Elders" of the English Football League. However, compared with other teams, Bolton is more unlucky. They are the only team among the Seven Elders that has never scored the top league championship in England. The other six teams have won the top league championship first or later. In this regard, Preston is also absolutely qualified for the dog.

It is also a good sign for Bolton to get a good start to the new stadium with this old friend.

Bolton believed this very much, but then they ignored it. Preston was not here to visit...

At the beginning of the game, the situation seemed to be heading towards Bolton's expected direction. After adding several outstanding players, Bolton bombed around Preston's halftime at the beginning. Soon, their top scorer, Welsh forward Nathan Black, scored a goal in front of the goal!

Reebok Stadium was thunderous, and Bolton's players cheered and celebrated their first goal in their first home game. At this moment, it seemed that the Preston players on the field were completely supporting roles.

Unfortunately, the supporting roles do not seem to have the awareness of being a supporting role.

Tiger hasn't touched the ball since the start of the game, but after his first touch, he began to show the results of his hard practice this summer.

After receiving Nogan's return pass, Tiger began to drive the ball forward. Black, who had just scored a goal, came up, but in an instant, he was knocked by Tiger!

After making a fake move to break to the right, Tiger picked up the ball, then hooked the ball directly outside the instep of his right foot, hooked the ball over Black's side, and then rushed over with the ball!

Most of the Bolton fans in the stands did not see this scene because they were still immersed in the joy of the last goal.

After getting rid of Black, Tiger began to dribble the ball forward, while Brian and Norgan, who had already cooperated with him, quickly stepped forward from the left and frontcourt, while the other two attackers Gott and Ridell responded differently. Gott took a step back to support Tiger, and Ridell also shortened the distance between him and Tager, and also had the idea of ​​responding at any time.

Then they saw Tiger, who was dribbling the ball, make an unnecessary gesture. Gott was stunned for a moment, turned around and ran forward, while Ridell shook his head and ran to the right.

Tiger dribbled the ball through the midfield, and then Bolton's Flanderson came up, while another midfielder Shellidon attacked from the side.

Everyone thought Tiger was going to pass the ball, but Tiger stepped on two bicycles in a row and accelerated and rushed over Flanderson!

Flanderson felt a flash in front of him, and Tiger suddenly accelerated and he couldn't react. What made him even more depressed was that the frequency of Tiger dribbling before was obviously not fast, but at the moment of getting rid of Tiger's pace of controlling the ball was completely different from what he had just done!

Tiger felt a little proud. During the training in the main god space this summer, he found that changing the frequency and rhythm of his own dribbling back and forth could easily confuse the defensive players, especially when facing those virtual characters who would not make mistakes, it has a good effect. Now he used it in a similar way. The midfielder in front of him who was obviously at the Premier League level was removed by himself in an instant!

However, Tiger was not too surprised by this. After all, the pressure caused by the Danish midfielder in front of him was far less than that of Winnie Jones in the FA Cup last season. Even when he was against Kruy in the last few games last season, Savage put much more pressure on him than the Danish midfielder.

None of the Bolton's defenders expected that Flanderson would be freed by Tiger in a blink of an eye. What's even more terrible is that Shellidon, who returned to defense, could not hold back and collided with Flanderson. For a while, these two people could not stop Tiger's advance.

However, Bolton's defense line also responded quickly. Seeing Tiger driving straight into the middle, there were two forwards in the penalty area to respond, and the two full-backs immediately recovered into the penalty area, ensuring the advantage of the number of people in the penalty area.

However, at this moment, Tiger suddenly stopped suddenly, turned around halfway and passed the ball to Ridell, who was unguarded on the wing!

Ridell just subconsciously saw that there was a gap near the corner of the opponent's penalty area, but when he just ran into the position, Tiger had already passed the ball!

The entire right side has been completely empty. Ridell only needs to adjust the direction of his progress and take a few steps to face the goalkeeper directly from a point where the angle is not particularly good but it will not be bad!

Bolton's defense line was immediately confused. It was not that they were inexperienced, but when a defender on the defense line found that the opponent's player who was holding the ball had appeared in a place that was very close to the goal and was unguarded, everyone would be confused!

Immediately, two defenders rushed towards Ridell at the same time, but Ridell's reaction was faster than them, and this gap was indeed large enough - after looking up and observing the situation in the penalty area, Ridell immediately took his right foot and passed the ball into the penalty area!

This is a ground rolling ball, and the ball flew directly to Gott's feet, who was unguarded at the front point. Gott stretched out his foot and removed the ball, and then took a right foot and shot directly without hesitation!

Almost a shot from the small penalty area line made Bolton's goalkeeper unresponsive - one-to-one! Preston equalized the score less than three minutes after conceding the ball!

Seeing this scene, Tiger proudly waved his fist. Who said we were here to visit? Who said we were supporting roles? The team with me will never be supporting roles forever!

At this moment, the Reebok Stadium, which had been crowded before, quieted down. Bolton fans stared at the celebrating Preston players in amazement, their hearts filled with question marks.

"After conceding the ball, the equalizer was equalized... Is our opponent a Premier League team?"

Even the live commentator who shouted extremely passionately after Bolton scored the goal just now lost his voice. He was stunned like the fans in the stands.
Chapter completed!
