Chapter 316: Three One Six:

England had high expectations for this game, but it didn't turn out as easily as they thought. + As a surprise, Spain fielded the same starting line-up for the final as for the first game of the group stage.

4-3-3, starting goalkeeper Casillas, who is also the captain of Spain in today's game. The four major defenders at the back, Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Alba; midfielders Alonso, Xavi, Sergio Busquets; Up front, from left to right, are Silva, Cesc Fabregas and Andres Iniesta.

Spain's squad is very luxurious, even the bench is star-studded, the substitute goalkeeper is Barcelona's main Valdés, as well as Pedro, Torres, Albiol, Juan Fran and so on...... Spain wanted to defend their title too much, and the players gave a lot to this game, and the fans were looking forward to it.

"Surprisingly, there were six Barcelona players in Spain's starting eleven, which is second only to the record set by the former Soviet Union, when seven of the Soviet starting eleven came from Dynamo Kyiv." This is a normal conversation before the start of the game, this kind of competition, the commentators and guests have to predict and analyze the lineup in advance, and there are many pseudo-fans watching the live broadcast, and they have to explain the level of these players and what level the team is.

'It's a pity that Villa and Puyol missed the tournament due to injury, and they were there today, cheering for Spain from the stands.

"Spain is very strong now, starting from Spain's 1-0 loss to Switzerland in the group stage of the World Cup in South Africa, and now in the past two years, Spain are unbeaten in 19 official matches, and there are only two draws, all conceded a total of eight goals...... This is a very dazzling number jù. ”

'We are more familiar with the England squad in comparison, having only changed two positions in six games since the start of the European Championship. It is not surprising to fans, first of all, this is already the best eleven in England, and secondly, Ancelotti is also a little famous compared to the flashy cup results, he likes to use a set of starters to death, unless it is necessary to make no substitutions in the middle of the game. He's always done that way, and I trust you to use you all the time, because of this habit, England's players are more tired than Spain, and many of them have been fighting on multiple fronts all season. ”

If it weren't for the variable, the commentators would be more optimistic about Spain.

They have played more major tournaments than England in the last decade, and their players are more experienced and in better form...... And because most of the starting lineup slipped from Barcelona, they have a tacit understanding and can't compare with the club, at least more reliable than England.

Before the European Cup final, reporters from all walks of life were busy interviewing, and many famous football coaches and celebrities were asked who they were more optimistic about, and the answer was similar.

Because of Leander, they are willing to believe in England, to say that the overall level of comprehensive strength, there is no doubt that Spain is stronger, and this interview also made fans deeply realize that success is not accidental, and Leander's label in the hearts of his peers is a wonder boy.

There was a brief closing ceremony before the game began, and while the waiting time came, the goalkeeper crowd was already praying for Casillas.

[Clean Sheet Great Demon King!] Don't let him continue to sè! ]

[This season is coming to an end, and I haven't seen anyone kill him!] It's so sad to think about the past year. ]

[Don't you give a cheer to the frontline correspondents?] He's about to face a Spanish striker. ]

[Poof, compared to this, I didn't see CCTV today, he is not from Manchester City, don't cheer for his club teammates?] ]

[Speaking of which, why do I think frontline reporters are a little scared of CCTV?] It doesn't look like the attitude of the number one goalkeeper towards the substitution. ]

[The closing ceremony is over soon, ready to watch the game, whatever he c, he can't be the big devil!] ]

……

For a moment, it felt as if I had captured something, but I didn't catch it, and it passed in a flash.

That's right, let's watch the big demon game first, and then talk about anything else.

Come on, San Cassie!

All the goalkeepers are praying for their comrades who are clearing the wasteland, it doesn't matter if you lose a season, as long as you win this one, if you fall in front of him again, the bastard will get sè. The crowd of goalkeepers was bustling, the message boards of live-streaming platforms and social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter were not calm, and the Englishmen were so excited that they swiped and swiped up. The game started in this atmosphere, before kick-off, the camera swept to the VIP stands, Ronaldo's whole family was there, Leander's good friends were here, and there were some stars in the music industry and the entertainment industry, celebrities, not to mention the wives group, watching them dress up very carefully, as if they were ready to be interviewed and chased by the media after winning the championship.

Everyone said that the star of this England national team was slightly dim, Beckham was not selected in the end, Owen and the like have long been out of the national team, fortunately there is John Terry in the backline, and the midfielder is double German plus two points on the front line...... I can barely see it.

Fans had high expectations for these eleven men, however, the game did not go well.

It's also because it's too tired, the group stage is still easy, starting from the quarterfinals, every three or four days, the opponent is getting stronger and stronger, England's players are almost at the critical point, they are very excited today, this game is England's best result in the European Championship regardless of whether they win or lose.

Although the fighting spirit was high and the body was slightly weak, in the first ten minutes, the fans saw the problem.

[How do you feel that today's game is a bit unexciting, usually England puts pressure on the opponent, and after playing for about ten minutes, why do you think it is Spain who takes the initiative?] ]

[I think so too, I put so many words before the game and my expectations are too high, and the table of this game is completely out of reach.] ]

Some people complain, and some people refute.

Although there is a suspicion of crying miserably, do you know how tired these players are? Manchester United, in particular, have been busy all season to compete in the European Cup, and some players will have to participate in the Olympic Games after the European Cup, and the new season will start after the Olympics.

[Don't worry too much about the score in the first half, think about the Champions League final, and trust Leander.] ]

[Three goals behind can be recovered, there is nothing he can't do, calm down, watch the game, it's only ten minutes.] ]

The commentary is still relatively calm, after all, they have been through the wind and waves, Sky Sports is especially cheating, the commentary is hypnotizing the fans, helping them recall Leander's past games, in addition to winning all the way to the end There is also a possibility of winning by a big score, falling behind first, chasing back to the limit, and killing in the end.

"Today's decisive battle against Spain is our England, not Germany, France, Italy...... We are strong and we have to believe in these players. ”

"Even if you don't trust others, trust Leander, he won't joke about trophies."

That's right!

You can believe in his sense of national pride, you must believe in his dedication to trophies.

Leander couldn't have given the championship to anyone, wait, it wasn't time yet, he hadn't exploded yet.

The fans didn't wait for Leander to erupt before they waited for the first goal.

In the thirteenth minute of the first half, Xavi went straight to Iniesta, Iniesta took two steps after receiving the ball and drove the ball to the right edge of the penalty area, Cesc Fabregas got rid of England's scum defense and controlled the ball, he saw the right time to cross, Silva headed in the small box, Joe Hart did not react.

The moment the ball went into the net, the Olympic Stadium in Kiev was boiling, and the Spanish fans were still very excited to watch their beloved team turn the advantage of the field into a score, although the one-goal advantage was not an obstacle at all for Leander, as long as the opportunity came, he could catch up in the blink of an eye.

Leander is not in a hurry, the audience in front of the TV and the fans in front of the stadium are in a hurry, his teammates are in a hurry.

The English took this game too seriously, and the small deficit made them stern up and never laugh again. Leander wanted to bring the rhythm up, but before he could do anything, an accident happened.

Just after the Spanish celebration, the two sides returned to the centre circle to restart, England took possession, Lampard passed the ball to Rooney, Rooney took a few steps with the ball and met Ramos, Ramos cleared the touchline, and Leander took the initiative to the sidelines, he was about to take the throw-in.

Others don't know about the big devil, but most of the Spanish national team does. Several of them are good friends of Leander, and some have been cheated by this trick, that is, in the Champions League, when Manchester United visited Camp Nou, he helped Manchester United establish an advantage with a throw-in, and the ball was very amazing, and the six from Barcelona remember it deeply.

Because he knew that he was powerful, he was very careful, no one went to squat on Leander, but instead stared at the points that England could score.

Throw-ins can't be scored directly, Leander can't do much, and the likes of Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard and Gerrard are more threatening than others, and if they can receive the pass perfectly, the threat to the goal will be too great.

Spain watched carefully, Leander's pass was also delicate, he hung directly into the box, Rooney was ready to leap to the top, Pique was bent on clearing, and the two collided.

Because Rooney really rushed to the top, he hit his head on someone's knee, this time it was still a hard injury, just a bag, the key is to lose his balance when he hit it, and Rooney broke his foot.

The referee saw very clearly that it was an accident, and the height of Pique's feet was okay, although it was Rooney who was injured, and it was unrealistic to give a heavy penalty. The referee warned Pique to take note and let the England team doctor come in to show Rooney.

It didn't bleed, he hit a bag on his head, and he was a little dizzy when he hit it, and this kind of hard injury hurt well, but what worries people is that under his feet, Rooney was limping when he stood up, and his right foot was not quite right.

"It should be that this injury is not serious but the impact is huge, and Rooney's European Championship journey may end here. I believe that many people have experience, and the broken foot is nothing compared to a fracture and a ligament injury, that is, you can't do it for a day or two, and then you will get better slowly, and you don't need to do anything. ”

It's not too much to say it's a crow's mouth, just after the commentary sighed, Rooney shook his head at Ancelotti in the live broadcast footage, as if he was very unwilling.

"Welbeck is warming up, Rooney is sure he can't return to the game, he can only watch his teammates play from the sidelines, although Rooney is not good at the ball, his role is undoubted, now this point is a huge test for England, we are very worried, we hope Welbeck will not disappoint the fans, to withstand the pressure and play at a high level."

Even if Welbeck wasn't nervous, he couldn't match Rooney's success with the main team, and with 17 minutes played, England lost a big player, which cast a shadow over the fans.

Rooney gave Leander a thumbs up before taking a seat on the bench.

The next game is please.

You have to win!

In the stands, Colleen was very frustrated and worried about her husband, it should be a pity that Wayne couldn't fight to the last second in such a game, but there are always such and such accidents on the green field, and there is no way to do it when tragedy finds you.

Compared with the worried wife's group, Ronaldo is quite calm, such a start is too normal in a football game, Leander has led so many times, and it should be chased once in a while. The game has just begun, and it is too early to win or lose, it takes about 60 minutes to see the clues, and it takes at least 80 minutes to assert the victory, and now it is only 18 minutes, and the excitement is yet to come.

Compared to his indifference, the fans are already crying wolf.

[Peake, this bastard!] This grandson! Why wasn't he punished? If I can't win this championship, I will hack him for the rest of my life!! ]

[I beat him to death!!!! ]

[This is a bad start, no matter how you look at it, it's unlucky.] ]

[Now 0:1, what if you don't chase back more and more behind?] Please, hurry up and get the score back! ]

The author has something to say: Second watch, I'll sleep after I'm done, don't wait, the next chapter of the game can't be finished, and I watched the cliff ghost crying wolf.
