Chapter 1749: Chapter 918: The Heaven-defying Goalkeeper Who Crushes Opponents

Zhu Cheng, the goalkeeper of the Feiyue Football Club team.

He is also the vice-captain of Feiyue Team, a core figure within the team. A goalkeeper is the person who guards the team’s last line of defense and must always focus on the situation on the field, remain agile in thought when facing the ever-changing soccer and have top-tier reaction abilities.

And Zhu Cheng is the one with the strongest reaction ability in Feiyue Team. Faced with soccer flying in from different directions, he can stand firm before the goalposts, catching or deflecting the ball.

This time, the Korean Team launched a fierce attack and found an opportunity to shoot, the ball darting between the legs of the defending players before heading straight for the national team’s goal.

Against such a ball, there’s a chance it could be blocked by the defending players’ legs.

Unfortunately, the national team’s defending players could not immediately block this somewhat uncanny shot, leaving Zhu Cheng as the last line of defense.

Facing this uncanny low-altitude shot, Zhu Cheng reacted with sharp eyes and swift body, diving left to deflect the ball away.

Then.

The ball fell to the feet of a defending player on the national team, who immediately made a pass, completely neutralizing the ball’s threat.

Since Zhu Cheng’s save didn’t result in the ball being firmly held under his control but merely deflected, a second opportunity for the opponent to shoot arose.

Fortunately, the national team’s defending players are no slouches either, collaborating with Zhu Cheng’s save to regain possession of the ball.

"Beautiful!"

Ding Yue exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Zhu Cheng’s save.

If not for Zhu Cheng’s excellent save, the score would have been rewritten to a one-all draw at this moment.

Now, the national team still leads by one point and quickly launched a counterattack. In the middle of the field, both teams continued to chase, block, and intercept, repeatedly exchanging ball possession.

One moment, Korea intercepts the national team’s ball possession; then Zhu Tan and Liu Zhan snatch it back, followed by Liu Zhan passing to Li Shuangying, who is intercepted by many, but Li Shuangying regains the ball. During his breakthrough of the Korean Team’s defensive line, he fiercely fights but loses the ball, missing the chance to shoot.

The Korean Team gains possession and counters again.

One must admit that the Korean Team has strength, though their actions during ball snatching are a bit dirty, yet the main referee for this World Cup Pre-Match is Korean, inevitably ignoring some dirty plays.

In fact, domestic fans, as well as the players of the Feiyue Team, had already considered this. Experiencing it, it’s inevitable to feel some anger inside.

"Fuck, Korean Team plays football so dirty."

"Same old stuff."

"That move surely deserved a yellow card, right?"

"We can only strive for corner kicks as much as possible."

"We must withstand the pressure and defeat the Korean Team!"

"This match is really pissing me off."

"The new national players performed well this time, it’s just that the Korean Team is too dirty."

"Brothers, do we have any reason to curse the national team this time? If we have to curse, let’s curse the Korean Team together!"

In the Feiyue Home Streaming Media platform’s live match room, the netizen fans angrily cursed the Korean Team’s dirty moves, yet this time, the majority of netizen fans were quite pleased with the national team’s performance.

At least now against the Korean Team, it’s leading one-nil.

Great!

Hold on to it!

On the match site, there are still around ten minutes left in the first half, the Korean Team’s offense has become fiercer, and simultaneously the dirty moves continue uninterrupted. Eventually, the referee gives a yellow card to the Korean Team.

Still, a single yellow card couldn’t stop the Korean Team’s dirty play, causing several of the national team’s attacks to be defused by the opponents.

And the Korean Team’s attacks also struggle to find opportunities on the solid national team’s defensive line.

Finally.

With two minutes left before the end of the first half, the Korean Team, due to yet another dirty move, finally found an opportunity, breaking and disrupting the national team’s defensive line. In the national team’s defense area, a chaotic scramble erupted among many, and possession kept exchanging back and forth, with the Korean Team repeatedly snatching.

The national team’s defending players resorted to slide tackles!

"This round of the Korean Team’s onslaught is exceptionally fierce. We see the ball landing at the feet of number 6, Park Munji, one of the Korean Team’s key attackers, defender Zhuang Hui’s slide tackle missed... The opponent seems to have a chance to shoot."

The commentator tensely and excitedly delivered meticulous live commentary.

Netizen fans watched the match with their hearts in their throats; could it be that the Korean Team is about to score just as the first half is about to end?

If that’s the case, it’ll greatly boost the Korean Team’s morale, while seriously affecting the national team’s morale. Ending the first half leading one-nil versus opening the second half with a tied situation is a whole different mindset.
