In a flash, the match had reached the 89th minute.
On the field, Aston Villa U17 players, through tireless running, finally completed a tackle, winning the ball from a Swansea U17 midfielder.
Immediately, an Aston Villa player, following Head Coach Charles' tactical instructions, quickly passed the ball to Xia Yuan.
At this moment, Xia Yuan was positioned on the right wing.
After receiving the ball, he wasn't in a hurry; instead, he glanced at his teammates' positions in the penalty area before choosing to pass!
By then, Swansea U17's defensive players had already arrived!
A full-back and a defensive midfielder!
Two Swansea U17 players appeared in front of Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan still unhurriedly made a passing motion!
The Swansea U17 defenders dared not be careless and quickly lunged their feet to intercept Xia Yuan!
But little did they know, this pass was just a feint; the next second, Xia Yuan decisively chose to dribble!
Xia Yuan's speed attribute reached 72!
Although a speed attribute of 72 is quite ordinary in the top five Leagues, this was, after all, a U17 League.
A speed of 72 was already sufficient!
Moreover, the match had reached the final minute of regular time, and these two Swansea U17 defenders, after ninety minutes of play, had reached their physical limits.
Just like that...
Xia Yuan easily dribbled past the two defenders.
The next second, Xia Yuan truly displayed his passing skills!
A cross from the byline!
The ball arced like a falling leaf over the Swansea U17 penalty area!
After successfully clearing the heads of Swansea U17's two center-backs, the ball rapidly descended!
It landed with extreme precision in front of Aston Villa U17's forward, Ter!
The latter immediately headed the ball towards the goal!
Bang~
The ball flashed past the Swansea U17 goalkeeper and swiftly entered the net.
Three to three!
Aston Villa U17 and Swansea U17 were tied!
"Beautiful!"
"Lads! Well done!"
"Fantastic!"
Head Coach Charles, upon witnessing his team equalize, excitedly jumped up!
Meanwhile, forward Ter immediately rushed towards Xia Yuan!
He wanted to celebrate this crucial equalizer with Xia Yuan!
However, Xia Yuan, at that moment, immediately rushed into the opponent's goal and picked up the ball!
For Xia Yuan, a draw was not his goal.
He yearned for victory!
Just then, the God-tier Midfielder System sounded again!
Ding! Mission issued: Help the team achieve victory!
Ding! Mission reward! Draw one Platinum Card!
"What the heck is a Platinum Card?"
As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, the [God-tier Midfielder System] provided an explanation!
Ding! The Host can gain attribute points in two ways: the first way is through training, but the effect is not obvious. The second way is by completing random missions issued by the system and receiving rewards for attribute allocation.
Based on the difficulty of the mission, the system will also reward different skill cards and skill points, among which, the skill cards from low to high are: Platinum Card, Black Gold Card, Peak Card.
"Got it!"
After listening to the system's explanation, Xia Yuan was already full of fighting spirit!
When he first came on, he successfully obtained a top-tier Peak Card, which gave him Pirlo's long pass skill card, boosting his long pass attribute directly to 99! Although the reward for the newly issued mission was a Platinum Card, for Xia Yuan, it was still a good opportunity to improve his attribute values!
No matter what, he had to help Aston Villa U17 win!
After the restart, the fourth official held up the extra time board.
There were only three minutes left!
Xia Yuan needed to race against time!
"Tackle!"
"Don't just stand there!"
"Go tackle the ball together!"
However, when the match started, Xia Yuan noticed that Aston Villa U17's players were not playing actively on the field.
It seemed that for Aston Villa U17's players, securing a draw was already cause for celebration!
Upon seeing this, Xia Yuan quickly urged his teammates to continue high-pressing...
But, Aston Villa U17 players' stamina bars were already at rock bottom.
Although they also wanted to win, they were clearly physically unable.
No choice.
Xia Yuan could only go himself!
As a substitute player, Xia Yuan's stamina was naturally not a problem!
During the match, Xia Yuan was like a wild horse unbridled, galloping across the entire field!
Where there's a will, there's a way.
In the 92nd minute of the match, Xia Yuan succeeded!
He, with the momentum of a fierce tiger descending a mountain, extended his foot first to disrupt the play before the Swansea full-back could pass the ball.
Currently, Xia Yuan's tackling attribute is 74!
A 74 tackling attribute has already reached the substitute level of the top five Leagues.
It was more than enough to deal with Swansea U17 players!
At this moment.
On the frontline.
Forwards Ter and Andri, seeing Xia Yuan complete the tackle, almost simultaneously rushed towards the Swansea U17 penalty area!
Xia Yuan didn't feint this time.
He cleanly and decisively passed the ball into the penalty area!
Bang!
In an instant...
The ball landed inside the opponent's penalty area.
In front of the goal!
Aston Villa U17's forward arrived just in time!
A header towards the goal!
Although the Swansea U17 goalkeeper had already made a save attempt, Ter's header was at a very tricky angle.
The ball grazed the goalkeeper's fingertips.
Bang!
The ball hit the net!
In the final moments of injury time, Aston Villa U17 successfully scored!
Four to three!
As the ball flew into the goal, the Referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.
A last-minute winner!
Aston Villa U17 won.
After the match, almost all of Aston Villa U17's players rushed towards Xia Yuan.
They piled on top of Xia Yuan like a human pyramid to celebrate...
On the bench.
Aston Villa U17's Head Coach Charles let out a long sigh of relief; his team had finally ended their losing streak.
Charles also personally embraced Xia Yuan after the match.
"Well done, Xia, great job!"
"From now on, you will be a starter for the team!"
"I will send the match recording to the first team coaching staff; you might even be promoted to the first team!"
Xia Yuan nodded, thanking the coach immediately.
Afterward.
Xia Yuan and his teammates returned to the changing room to wash up.
After a quick wash, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't drawn his reward yet!
He immediately opened the system to check.
Five Platinum Cards immediately appeared in front of Xia Yuan; he needed to draw one from these five Platinum Cards.
"This one it is."
Xia Yuan chose one, and instantly the words "Platinum Card" flashed before his eyes, followed by the Spanish flag!
It was Xavi Alonso!
Xavi Alonso's vision attribute!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Xavi Alonso's Vision Skill Card.
Vision: 62-84!
