Currently in Reading, in the Championship, Andy Carroll has been discreet for a long time.
Passed by Liverpool and Newcastle, the striker wants to rebuild his health in the English second division. In bad shape, his team is in a disappointing 21st place and the striker can not really solve the problems since he has only scored a small goal since his arrival in November.
But the attacker’s confidence issues could have been a thing of the past … except that the offside rule will have decided otherwise.
As he faced Fulham, the 33-year-old striker scored his first goal on a spectacular kickback. Bad luck, the referee quickly cancels the goal for an offside position.
Far from being discouraged, the English giant makes another spectacular gesture … two minutes after his bicycle. On a long cross coming from the left, Carroll controls the ball with his chest at the entrance to the box before sending a cannonball that leaves no chance for the goalkeeper. But once again, the referee cancels the goal for another offside.
Those jewels probably wouldn’t have changed anything as Fulham was superior. The London club finally won seven goals to nothing with goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic, passed by Anderlecht and Neeskens Kebano, former of Charleroi and Genk.
As for Carroll, there is no doubt that he will be very careful about his placement from now on …
