What kind of football player is handsome?

Chapter 49 Never before has such a wonderful start been achieved! Liu Yi's shot, seemingly a pa

Crystal Palace continued to put up a desperate fight for the remainder of the game. Although Zaha managed to pull one back in the chaos, the deficit was too large, and ultimately, the game was lost.

Gardner handled the ball in the penalty area, and Paul Gallagher converted the penalty.

When the final whistle blew, Vauxhall erupted in cheers.

Leicester City defeated Crystal Palace 2-1.

They advanced to the play-off final at Wembley with a score of 5-2!

The Leicester City are just one step away from the Premier League.

On the other side, fifth-ranked Swansea City also pulled off an upset, defeating fourth-ranked Reading 3-2 to advance to the final against Leicester City.

There is a full two-week break between the playoff final and the semi-finals.

This is even later than the final day of the Premier League season.

Liu Yi witnessed Manchester United lift the Barclays Cup ahead of schedule with a huge advantage.

However, Manchester United subsequently suffered a crushing defeat at Wembley Stadium.

Guardiola's Barcelona played a breathtaking style of football in London.

Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets.

The three-man Barcelona midfield completely dominated the game.

The ball moved between them like an invisible yet unbreakable thread.

Park Ji-sung's much-vaunted pressing looked like a futile clown's effort in the face of precise passing and control.

The crown jewel, the diminutive Argentine striker, moved with phantom-like agility; Pedro and Villa were also in superb form.

The camera pans to Ferguson on the sidelines.

Sir Frederick's hand trembled slightly involuntarily.

After the match, guest commentators Zhan Jun and Lao Huang even remarked, "The current Barcelona team is like the world playing against China in the era of table tennis; it's truly a 'cosmic defense war'!"

Liu Yi felt very down as he watched his old buddies, who used to laugh and joke with him on the training field, wandering around listlessly.

At that moment, Liu Yi thought that if one day he really stood on the stage of the highest hall of football skills and tactics, he must win everything.

The trophy is now within reach.

We must consider whether this is the only opportunity we'll ever have.

It is our duty to restore the glory of LCK!

Wait, wrong channel...

However, one statement is true.

Liu Yi will definitely not return to the Championship, so he only has this one chance to win the playoffs.

Complete the task.

In one battle!

※※※

2011 5 Month 30 Day.

London, the capital of the United Kingdom.

The Championship play-off final will be held at Wembley Stadium.

This is not just about winning a championship.

The promotion spots behind these promotions have immeasurable economic value, enough to change the fate of a football club.

Thanks to sound business practices, the broadcasting fees for the English Premier League, which boasts a strong lineup of teams, have remained consistently high.

Even mid-to-lower-tier teams can get a share of the profits.

According to statistics, even West Ham United, who were relegated this season, can still receive a staggering £9000 million in broadcast revenue.

In addition, the media presence was also enormous.

The Daily Mail, The Times, The Mirror, The Sun...

Dozens of media outlets, some capable of speaking out and others unable to, came.

Even Yangshi set up a small station to produce a special interview program about the promotion playoffs.

On one side is Leicester City, who marched all the way north to the playoff final and staged the "Blue Foxes Miracle".

On the other side lies Swansea, the pearl of Welsh football and the hope of Bristol Bay.

Sixty thousand tickets were sold out earlier.

Even the viewing platform at the top of the mountain has been sold for exorbitant prices.

Even if the players look like ants, the die-hard fans of both teams are still willing to pay for this epic showdown.

Two days before the match, the team's key midfielder, Andy King, even had trouble sleeping.

He never imagined that he, a "discarded son of a wealthy family," would one day appear on such a grand stage.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi specially sought out the collectible edition of "Sports Illustrated" that Lingard had given him.

Can't sleep?

I'll fall asleep after watching this exercise for a while.

Andy King accepted the offer, but he won't let it slip before the final.

"Good evening, Sina Sports fans!"

"This is a live commentary on the 2010-2011 season's grand finale in English football: the Championship play-off final between Leicester City and Swansea City!"

"I'm commentator Zhan Jun!"

"I am Huang Jianxiang!"

Sina Sports specially signed the two players for a week.

In addition to commentating on the highly anticipated Champions League final, he also covered the Championship play-offs.

These kinds of matches usually attract a lot of attention in England, but they are completely ignored in China.

The reason it has attracted so much attention is ultimately due to Liu Yi's existence.

The camera lingered on the VIP box!

"You can see many Premier League legends watching the game!"

"Alan Shearer and Andy Cole were also present."

"Oh, Liverpool's 'King' Dalglish is here too."

"Could this be... William?!"

"Let's now introduce the starting lineups for both sides!"

"For Swansea, the goalkeeper is De Vries!"

"The four defenders: Ashley Williams, Tate, Monk, and Angel Ranger!"

"The three midfielders are Joe Allen, Britton, and Borini."

"Forwards Nathan Dyer, Scott Sinclair, and Dobby!"

"Over in Leicester City..."

The pre-match ceremony was quite complicated.

After the prediction was made, there was a pre-match ceremony and a speech by a legend.

at last!

The players from both sides lined up at opposite ends.

"Alright, let the match begin!"

"The team attacking from left to right is Leicester City, wearing dark blue jerseys!"

"From right to left, that's Swansea City in their white jerseys!"

The moment the referee's whistle pierced the Wembley night sky.

The football mecca, which can hold nearly 90,000 people, immediately erupted in thunderous cheers.

The huge stands resembled a cake precisely sliced ​​in the middle.

Half of it is dark blue, and the other half is pure white.

Before the match, it was widely believed that the game would be very close.

The two sides are evenly matched, one ranking third and the other fifth, and their total market value is also similar.

After Liu Yi kicked off with his weaker foot, he charged wildly towards Swansea's backfield.

This move startled the Swansea generals.

It's not that the finals were all more conservative.

We agreed to test each other out first, didn't we?

Why have you abandoned all martial ethics and started attacking relentlessly?!

Pogba gets the ball.

He lobbed the ball directly into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle.

Inside the restricted area.

The towering Steve Howard, like an iron tower rising from the ground, leaped into the air before Swansea defender Tate could get ready.

However, they didn't smash the ball towards the goal.

Instead, he acted as a fulcrum, accurately passing the ball to Liu Yi, who was making a run from behind.

In this match, Joe Allen, the defensive midfielder who was mainly marking Liu Yi, had just warmed up.

The next second, a blur of motion shot out like lightning.

Liu Yi cleverly controlled the ball and, with no one marking him, dribbled it with the outside of his foot.

The bright red numbers on the timer have just ticked over:

0: 15.

Swansea goalkeeper De Vries was still gesturing and directing traffic inside the six-yard box.

Then Liu Yi suddenly appeared.

then……

A shot?!

A 30-meter zone? Are you sure?!

De Vries was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

He couldn't even be sure whether Liu Yi wanted to shoot or pass the ball.

Hesitantly.

De Vries saw the ball gently rubbed against the inside of his foot.

Should we rub it after we've finished rinsing?

What kind of operation is this?!

The football suddenly curled out in an unpredictable arc.

On the other side of the restricted area.

Vassal high-speed trains are on the way.

"He needs to pass it in an arc, further away!"

De Vries broke out in a cold sweat.

Was the intelligence incorrect?

Isn't Liu Yi terrible at passing the ball?!

Yes.

Liu Yi really can't pass the ball.

But he can shoot.

This shot, which is both a pass and a shot, can exploit a system bug and trigger Ibrahimovic's "Shooting the Halberd at the Gate" silver badge!

De Vries could only watch helplessly as the ball traced a bizarre arc.

It landed on the back post.

"Liu Yi, this position? We need to attack..."

"No, this is a long pass!"

"No, no, this is a hanging door!"

"Wait, no, it should be a long pass!"

Just as Lao Huang was cosplaying as the teacher of the supernatural arts.

The ball suddenly dropped.

It hit the inside of the far post.

"Oh dear, it's a shot!"

"Great! Goal!"

"A lob shot with an unpredictable trajectory!"

"Leicester City have had a perfect start!"

First record!

Liu Yi excitedly rushed towards the stands where the Leicester fans were!

Spinning one hand in the air.

Leap high into the air!

A stunning transformation!

I really want to SIUUUU.

But in the end, it still failed to be exported.

He'd already used Luo Ge's celebratory gesture, so it would be a bit embarrassing to copy the essence of it too.

But Eriksson didn't think so.

The excited Swedish coach even performed a knee slide celebration on the sidelines.

Liu Yi cosplays as Luo Ge.

Eriksen cosplays Liu Yi.

Just like his beloved player's first time sliding on his knees, he didn't control the angle well.

He fell headfirst onto the lawn.

The stands were filled with a joyful atmosphere.

It seems... this is not the evenly matched contest that was imagined.

It will be a one-sided massacre!

P.S.: There's not much to write about the finals. I'll finish it all tomorrow and quickly move on to the next map during the off-season.
