Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 233 Wonderful arc!
Five rounds of the Premier League have passed. Millwall performed well in all five games. There are also many media analyzing the performance of individual players. Braniff is considered to be the most dazzling player in the Millwall team. In four games, he scored three goals and was also selected for the "Times" Premier League team of the month in August.

In the media reports on Millwall, there is a player who is not worse than Braniff, and that is the right midfielder Josh Simpson.

Simpson has never been well-known, and his performance in the game is not much. In terms of personal technical strength, he can only be regarded as a slightly outstanding young player, but in the past five rounds, Simpson also scored three goals.

The three goals of a right midfielder must be more dazzling than the three goals of the striker.

The reason why Simpson is not as highly rated as Braniff is because his technical strength is worse. Apart from a slightly faster speed and poor foot skills, he seems to have no other advantages. As for the three goals , It is also considered to be a bit of luck, but in any case, Simpson still attracted a lot of attention, because he is not yet 19 years old, is one of the youngest players in the entire league, and there will be a lot of room for improvement in the future.

"Compared with players of the same age, Simpson's technical strength is quite outstanding. He may become the future of English football, but now he needs to continue to improve and work hard to accumulate experience..."

The above is the "Daily Mirror"'s comment on Simpson's ability, and it is also the opinion of most people on Simpson.

Look back to the Neil Field.

Arsenal centre-back Toure fouled Smicer and Millwall got a set-piece from around 25 meters away.

The location is neither bad nor bad.

Relatively speaking, the distance is still a bit far, but 25 meters is not too far. For many powerful players, it is also a moderate distance. Professionally speaking, a long distance means a larger angle, and the wall is not good. It will be too close to the penalty mark, and it will be easier to let the football go around the wall.

When Millwall was discussing free throws, many people also discussed that in the Millwall lineup, there are no players with excellent set kicks, so the free throws will be players with excellent skills, such as Smicer, Morris, and Or forward Darren Bent.

After some deliberation, Millwall sent the penalty shooters, Jody Morris and Josh Simpson standing in front of the ball.

Morris is the core of the Millwall team and one of the most skilled players. He is perfect for taking free kicks, but Simpson also has a chance. Many people still remember that in the game against Aston Villa, Simpson scored a good arc and helped the team rewrite the score.

That was regarded as 'luck' by many media.

Simpson did not show the ability to take free kicks before, and it is normal to score a goal occasionally by luck, but now that Millwall is playing against Arsenal, maybe Simpson will also take the penalty?After all, Morris has also not shown the level of free kicks.

Now no one knows who will take the penalty, but more people still focus on Morris.

Compared with Josh Simpson, Morris's technical strength is much better. He is the core of Millwall's midfielder and offensive engine, and his superb skills at his feet are recognized by many people.

Millwall fans also support Morris more, because Morris has always been the core player of the team, and Simpson is just a rising rookie, and his level of strength is much worse than that of Morris.

Morris has good skills and good footwork.

Last season, most of Millwall's set kicks were taken by Morris, so they are all optimistic about Morris to play this ball.

As for Simpson?
Probably just a cover!

----

Millwall fans think so, let alone Arsenal players.

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger attaches great importance to the game. Millwall's good results cannot be due to luck. The media recognizes the performance of Millwall's players. For most Premier League clubs, Millwall is a new player. Opponents, they are promoted to the Premier League for the first time in history. Few teams understand them. If you want to understand them, you still have to study them yourself.

Wenger watched two Millwall game videos before the game, and he also has a certain understanding of Millwall's outstanding players.

Midfielder Jody Morris is the player most in need of attention.

Morris is the core of Millwall's offensive organization, and his role in the Millwall team is equivalent to that of Vieira. Such a player does not score many goals, but can drive the offensive of the entire team to threaten the opponent's defense.

Similarly, the technical strength of the core players is very good.

Wenger emphasized to the players to pay more attention to Morris, and did not emphasize anything else. Players such as Josh Simpson and Darren Bent have also been praised by the media for their performance, but they are nothing in the eyes of the giants. Yes, they can catch up to the strength level of Arsenal's substitute players at most.

Arsenal players all remember the name of Jody Morris.

Now that Josh Simpson and Morris are standing together, there is no suspense about who will take the free kick. Instead, they absolutely do nothing about Millwall, just like the England team in the world competition, David Beckham and his teammates together Stand up for free throws.

Who will take the penalty?

Without a doubt it will be David Beckham!

The opponent sent an unknown young player, probably just to confuse their eyes.

However, it is 100% sure that there is no such thing. Wenger did not mention Morris's ability to take free kicks, but a core player's footwork is not bad after all, and he may be able to pose a threat to the goal.

What if the young teenager next to him takes the penalty?

Arsenal players hope that the opponent will do this, then their own goal will become extremely safe.

Wenger stood on the sidelines.

In the 44th minute of the first half, it was about to enter the stoppage time period. The previous command strengthened the offensive, and the stoppage time effect was obvious, but Millwall must not be allowed to score, otherwise the situation will change.

Wenger seemed to attach great importance to this defense. He personally supervised the team's defense and even reminded him with a loud voice--
"Watch out for direct shots! Don't give them the chance to fight for the header!"

"I have to go to people later!"

"Look at that No. 18 (Konchesky)!"

"..."

Under Wenger's shouts, Arsenal's supplementary defense was more cautious, and every Millwall player who stepped forward was closely guarded.

The referee signaled that free throws were allowed.

Following the referee's gesture, everyone's eyes were aimed at the penalty spot.

Morris stood still.

Simpson took two steps back, glanced at the goal, took a deep breath, and trotted towards the football.

He rushed to the ball and swung his right foot.

"The action is quite realistic!" The commentator of British BBC TV shouted in surprise, and Simpson's action seemed to be about to shoot.

Arsenal captain Henry also yelled to remind his teammates, "Don't be fooled by him! Calm down!"

He was worried that his teammates jumped up first.

When defending a free kick, if the human wall is tricked into jumping up, the side that takes the penalty kick can calmly kick the ball over the grass. The kind of sticking to the ground is strong, and the goalkeeper is blocked by the human wall. It is not easy to make a judgment .

With Henry shouting, the Arsenal players were relieved.

After this moment, the attention of the media and fans shifted to Morris, and Morris still did not move, standing there motionless.

what happened?

The next moment they reacted, "It's that young teenager who made a free throw!"

When they turned their heads again, Simpson's right foot had already made direct contact with the football --
A superb inside foot arc!

The football was rubbed up from the spot, spinning and rushed into the sky. The height of the football was only more than two meters. Under normal circumstances, it was likely to be blocked by the human wall, but the Arsenal human wall did not jump up immediately.

Arsenal guessed wrong!

When the wall players realize this, it is too late to jump up. The only thing they can do is to watch the football, go around above their heads, and then quickly fall towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Lehmann is waiting.

Careful observation at this moment reveals that Lehmann's eyes were a little flustered. Like his teammates, he also thought that Jody Morris would take the penalty. Seeing Josh Simpson running over, he didn't particularly care.

After it was discovered that the judgment was wrong, the football has fallen over.

Lyman was totally unprepared.

Originally Lehman's line of sight was blocked by the human wall, coupled with the football spinning very fast, a touch of high and surprising arc made it impossible for him to make an accurate judgment.

When the football started to fall, Lehmann gritted his teeth and jumped to one side. He still judged accurately, but if he didn't make any moves, he couldn't do anything.

Lehmann's approach speaks volumes of experience, and it's a pity God wasn't on his back.

The football turned a large arc in the air, more than one meter away from his hands, and spun and fell into the upper left corner of the goal.

----

"The ball went in???"

"The ball went in!?"

"The ball went in!!!"

The Neal Stadium broadcast Mike Johnson, who shouted three consecutive 'goals scored' before confirming that Millwall had broken through the Arsenal gate, and then he suddenly shouted excitedly, "Goooooooooooal!!!"

"Simpson broke the gate of Arsenal and helped Millwall rewrite the score! Simpson! Simpson!"

The fans at the scene also shouted, "Simpson! Simpson! Simpson!"

Many people, like Mike Johnson, couldn't believe that the football flew into the goal for the first time. Many people rubbed their eyes because the situation was different from what they imagined.

Simpson?
A free kick to help Millwall score?
Millwall ahead?

It took a few seconds for them to realize what had happened: Millwall's right-winger, youngster Josh Simpson, sent the ball straight into Arsenal with a kick that almost rivaled Beckham's arc. Na goal.

That was simply wonderful!
"Sky Sports" commentator Kean Schindell finally shouted, "The goal is in! It's Josh Simpson! We can notice that Arsenal's human wall was misjudged and they didn't jump the first time! Thank them !Their mistakes made for such a classic arc!"

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"1 to 0!"

"Young Simpson kicked a wonderful free kick, broke through Lehmann's gate, and also helped Millwall lead the visiting team Arsenal at the end of the first half!"

"This goal...is so beautiful!"
