During the remaining time in the first half, the Watford coach adjusted his tactics.

He had originally wanted to seize an early advantage to prove himself and Watford.

But he completely miscalculated.

If they continued to play like this, it would only become more difficult.

Watford's formation changed to 4411.

A tall center forward was placed at the front, solidifying the defense and attempting to equalize with quick counterattacks.

He had realized that facing Norwich, injecting the players with adrenaline alone wouldn't guarantee victory.

Watford only needed one point to take the initiative, but due to the tactics at the start, they were now on the defensive.

This formation directly liberated Zhao Gang.

Especially with Ospina no longer retreating to his own penalty area, he put considerable pressure on Watford in attack.

Norwich clearly didn't intend to let the score remain as it was.

Because it wasn't safe.

Once Watford seized an opportunity and equalized, they would be on the back foot.

So in the remaining time of the first half, Norwich launched numerous attacks, but failed to break through again.

After the halftime adjustments, at the start of the second half, Zhao Gang was surprised to find that Watford had changed their formation again.

It was back to how it was at the beginning of the match.

The Watford coach seemed to be a bit lost.

He was hesitant, not sticking to his tactical philosophy, wavering between attacking and defensive counterattacks.

Clearly, Watford was ready to go all in!

They had to score a goal to take the initiative.

The Watford coach was also out of ideas. After he changed the formation in the first half and had the players retreat to defend, he realized that Norwich was too stable.

Zhao Gang's midfield orchestration didn't allow for mistakes.

They were methodically building up their attacks, which for Watford, was tantamount to a slow death.

They could only take a gamble!

"Watford is still pretty awesome, only defended for a dozen minutes, and changed formation again, continuing to attack Norwich!"

"Watford seems to have lost sight of themselves. They went all out on offense earlier and got scored on. The defensive formation seemed to have some effect, so why change back?!"

"They have no choice. They need at least a draw in this game to take control!"

"Then it's strange, why didn't they play defensive counterattack from the start? Why did they have to press all over the field? If they had defended from the beginning, they might have held on to 0-0!"

"The last team to think like that was AEK Athens! The Watford coach clearly learned from that lesson and changed his approach, wanting to get a good start. Unexpectedly, Norwich's defense is too good."

"Ah, there's nothing they can do. Norwich is too strong now!"

Whoa!!

A burst of exclamations erupted from the Watford fans in the stands.

Watford's attack had just failed, and after receiving the ball, Zhao Gang launched a long pass directly to Philip, who was sprinting forward.

"Wow! That's really artistic, the vision, the technique..."

"That kind of consistent passing will definitely make Zhao Gang a starter, even a core player, for any team!"

"Zhao Gang plays as a forward, you know!!"

Philip's dribbling ability is among the best in the Norwich squad.

With a feint, he deftly dodged the defender.

And cut straight into the penalty area!

The other defender hadn't closed in yet. As long as he didn't continue dribbling forward, it was a one-on-one opportunity against the goalkeeper!

As a pure midfielder, his grasp of when to release the ball was decent.

Before the defender could get into position, he took a shot!

Unfortunately, it was a half-high ball, and the goalkeeper dove out to save it.

The fans' exclamations came from this.

"Philip's shooting is still a lot worse than Zhao Gang's and Xiluo's... he's not very good at it... and there! " The commentator was a little disappointed. It was practically a one-on-one opportunity, but Philip didn't convert it into a goal.

At this moment, Xiluo, who had been charging forward with his head down, received the ball that had flown out of the penalty area.

And stopped at the edge of the box.

The defender had arrived.

Xiluo took a ground shot, the ball was extremely fast, the first layer of defense didn't have time to react, but fortunately there was still a defender behind him.

As a result, the ball passed directly through the legs of the second defender and headed towards the far post.

The goalkeeper quickly lowered his center of gravity and fell to the ground, realizing that this shot was a bit off...

He reacted and quickly reached out.

A white figure appeared before his eyes.

A powerful shot!

"Whoa... Goal! Zhao Gang!

The game is at the sixtieth minute! Xiluo's shot, or was it a pass, accidentally worked! Zhao Gang appeared in the right position!

And sent the ball into the goal!

Norwich, playing away, leads 2-0!!"

"That, it seems to be a conscious pass... If it was a shot, it shouldn't be at that angle, that height..." The other commentator knew Xiluo's shooting habits, usually a powerful shot, rarely like this, a ground ball.

"Yes... you can see it clearly, that was more like a pass! Quid pro quo! Xiluo's pass assists Zhao Gang in scoring again! Now, it's even more difficult for Watford!!"

After a brief celebration, Watford kicked off from the center circle.

It could be seen that Watford's players were a bit dejected.

The coach kept changing tactics, but it didn't work.

Instead, it allowed Norwich to score again.

This almost shattered their confidence.

Soon, Norwich's players adopted Watford's tactics and actually started pressing and surrounding the ball all over the field!

The Watford players, who didn't have much spirit to begin with, were completely bewildered.

The ball was intercepted, and Norwich launched a counterattack on the spot.

Zhao Gang, dribbling the ball forward, passed to Ospina, who was eager to score.

Ospina staggered, stumbling, and didn't control the ball well, but there was a serious mistake between the Watford goalkeeper and the defender!

The goalkeeper actually knocked his own defender over!

Ospina felt that happiness came too suddenly, lifted his foot, and sent the ball in.

The ball went in again!

Ospina's first goal in a formal match scored with his foot!

3-0!

Watford's players completely lost their fighting spirit.

This lucky goal seemed to be telling them that victory belonged to Norwich today!

No matter how loudly the coach shouted from the sidelines, Watford had no chance.

The fans in the stands were dazed.

The soaring passion and enthusiasm before the game had completely disappeared.

Norwich was much stronger than they had imagined!

The Watford coach's words before the game had given these fans confidence, believing that Watford could really compete with Norwich.

Now, they finally recognized reality.

Watford had no chance of winning this game.

Originally, Watford could take the initiative with a draw, so when the coach adopted a high-pressing approach at the start, the fans were filled with passion.

They believed that Watford didn't choose to turtle up for points, but fought like warriors!

They sang their team song, cheering for the players and the coach.

But in the end, reality was cruel.

When Farker substituted the main players, it meant that there was not much suspense in this game.

The game ended!

The Watford coach's bold words did not come true.

They were still crushed by Norwich!!

At the post-match press conference, the Watford coach took all the responsibility.

"It was my tactics that were wrong. Maybe we should have played defensive counterattack from the beginning, but... but previous experience told us that playing defensive counterattack against Norwich doesn't get the desired result.

Anyway, we lost.

It's all my fault.

I don't have much to say. I wish Norwich can reach the final in the Europa League!"

And indeed, as the Watford coach wished.

Norwich's second leg of the knockout round against Atalanta was thrilling, but without incident.

"Norwich, Norwich! 1-1 draw against Atalanta away!! 3-1 on aggregate, eliminating Atalanta and entering the Europa League final!" When the game ended, the Norwich players frantically pushed the coach to the ground, Shen Jian shouted out in a hoarse voice.

"Atalanta's home stadium is the best in Serie A! The number of goals scored even exceeds Juventus!

In the Europa League, they relied on their strong home advantage to eliminate Valencia from La Liga and Hoffenheim from the Bundesliga! In the league, they even beat the strong defending Juventus 4-1 at home!

But today, they failed to defeat Norwich!

They scored a goal in the first five minutes and almost suppressed Norwich for the entire game, Norwich relied on tenacious defense to crush Atalanta's Europa League dream!

Finally, in the eightieth minute, Zhao Gang equalized with a stunning free kick from 27 meters from the goal!

The powerful Atalanta failed to stop Norwich!

In the Blue Arena, the Canaries spread their wings and soared!

Norwich! Under the leadership of Zhao Gang, they successively eliminated Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal, Greek powerhouse AEK Athens, and finally defeated the Serie A goddess, Atalanta, in the semi-finals!

This time, the goddess did not protect Atalanta!

A Dragon Country player, for the first time, appeared as a main player in a European Championship!

For the first time, as the core, he led the team into the Europa League final!

Zhao Gang, the only eighteen-year-old Zhao Gang, is still constantly creating records and miracles!" Shen Jian shouted breathlessly.

And the Dragon Country fans, in his commentary, were so excited that they shed tears.

"Strong!!"

"Zhao Gang, awesome!!"

"I'm proud!!"

"We will definitely win the championship!"

"The light of Dragon Country, the light of Asia! No Asian player has ever done this before!"

"Although it's not the Champions League, this is already the greatest glory for a Dragon Country player in so many years!"

"We finally waited for you, sob sob..."

……

"In the other semi-final that just ended, Sevilla from La Liga lost 1-2 to Dortmund away, and eliminated their opponents 2-2 with the advantage of away goals, advancing to the Europa League final!

Three weeks later, Norwich will face Sevilla, the two-time defending Europa League champions, in the final at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon, France!

Whichever team wins will create Europa League history!

If Sevilla wins, they will create an unprecedented three consecutive Europa League titles.

If Norwich wins the cup, they will be the first team in Europa League history to win the Europa League as a second-tier league team!

And if Norwich can finally defeat Sevilla, they will also write a greater legend, that is, the first time a team from the second-tier European league has qualified for the Champions League, and is a Champions League seeded team!

Even if they succeed in being promoted to the Premier League this season, they will still be qualifying for the Champions League as a Championship team!

Let us wait and see, let us witness this game that will eventually be recorded in the history of the Europa League!!"

"Damn, is there such a thing?"

"It's so magical!!"

"Norwich must win, it would be even more interesting if they don't get promoted to the Premier League..."

"You're such an idiot!"

At this time, the County of Norwich was in a frenzy.

In the streets and alleys, countless strange fans embraced and wept.

Carrow Road, although there was no game, was open for the first time.

The audience stared intently at the big screen, and when the game ended, all the fans rushed down from the stands and poured into the stadium.

Celebrating this hard-won draw with the players far away in Atlanta.

Fireworks were set off, gongs and drums were loud.

There were even inspiring victory bugles.

Almost simultaneously, sounds of enthusiastic cheers erupted in every bar throughout Norwich.

Countless wine bottles and glasses were smashed.

The patrolmen who arrived late on the streets were picked up and thrown into the sky by the crazy fans.

"Champion! Champion!!! Norwich!! Zhao!!!!" The patrolmen who were thrown up were not afraid, but clenched their fists and shouted loudly.

A scene more insane than Halloween played out in almost every part of the County of Norwich.

Young children wore number 18 jerseys, holding flags printed with Zhao Gang's celebration, and were held in the air by their fathers with bulging veins.

Young people with Norwich team badges painted on their faces somersaulted and shouted.

Excited young female fans lifted up their golden jerseys, showing off the unique tattoos on their chests, Zhao Gang's young face...

"Roar... Zhao!!"

Fans who did not flood into the streets prayed with their eyes closed at home, muttering words.

"Thank God... Thank Zhao... Norwich will eventually defeat all enemies and gain all glory..."

"Huff..." Brooke, kneeling on the ground, got up, the blush on his face had not faded, a consequence of screaming hysterically at the top of his lungs.

"Norwich! A hundred years! A hundred years of waiting, a hundred years of prayer! We have finally ushered in this moment! Zhao... holding God's will, brought light and hope to the people of Norwich!"
