Chapter 117: Gascoigne
In the second half of the game, both teams strengthened their possession in the midfield, especially the Hamburg team, and in this kind of slow-paced game, it was easier for Ling Feng to find opportunities to break through.
It's just that under the close defense of Scottish's main central defender Gough, Ling Feng was afraid of injury and didn't dare to make too many moves, so he didn't have a good chance for a long time.
As for Ivanoskas, the hero of the Dortmund team, he was also very closely watched by the opponent's defenders at this time, he and Ling Feng could not be played, and Baron's header could only be delivered by Kovacevic.
It's just that the Croatian has had too many games recently, and he doesn't have the perverted physical strength of Ling Feng - and his position is basically the player who has run around the whole game in the Hamburg team except for Ling Feng - and has not had a good rest for a long time, and Kovacevic is now just trying to run, but he is also powerless.
On the contrary, it is the Rangers, McAllister's point grabbing and ball control in the front court is an important guarantee for their offense, and Gascoigne looks cynical, but when he gets serious, even Vieira is inferior to him, especially his elusive passing, which always stirs Vieira on fire - he ran with this guy for a long time, but passed it without even touching the side, how can Vieira not be depressed?!
Fifteen minutes into the second half, Gascoigne assisted and McAllister headed home to regain the lead.
It was a goal that could only be said to have been missed by the Hamburg defender - Henkoz was influenced by Rangers' midfielder Alberts who had stepped in to provide an assist, and abandoned the more threatening McAllister, and the 34-year-old veteran received Gascoigne's 45-degree diagonal header into the net.
One pass and one shot, Gascoigne single-handedly led the Hamburg team into the quagmire in this game.
"This old boy is still so brave," Ling Feng looked at Gascoigne, who was slowly pacing backwards by himself, ignoring the other celebratory players on his side, and thought helplessly: "If this guy is serious, Patrick (Vieira) will be difficult to guard against him, he is an opponent at the same level as Zidane." ”
This does not raise Gascoigne, Zidane at this time can not afford the title of "master of the art on the field", and the 30-year-old Gascoigne is four years before he became famous, in terms of experience, in terms of awareness, Gascoigne is undoubtedly the best midfielder in modern football - of course, if he is not overdrunk, he is much more dangerous than now!
Ling Feng couldn't help but start thinking again, if Giggs joined not Welsh nationality but English nationality, if Gascoigne played honestly and well, then Giggs, Beckham, Gascoigne and Paul. Ince will form the most luxurious and attacking midfield in the 98 World Cup – compared to Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Joe. The England luxury midfield composed of Kerr and David Beckham is even more luxurious, and the attacking creativity and penetration are stronger!
Thinking about the situation that in the 06 World Cup in Germany, Frank Lampard had nearly 30 shots on goal - including a penalty - and did not score a goal, Ling Feng really felt sorry.
It's just that, according to the lineup that Ling Feng said, let's not mention what will happen to Giggs, who has never participated in the World Cup, and whether Gascoigne will do anything again - there is no guarantee that Comrade Xiaobei will not kick Simeone in the game against Argentina - Also, the penalty kick in the Anglo-Arab war was won, and it seems that the first penalty kick was missed, it was Paul. Ince ......
As the game continued, Ling Feng possessed the ball significantly more, and in the face of the defense of Scottish veteran Goff, Ling Feng would always adopt the simplest and most practical method - body and speed.
Isn't that a clear bully!
Gao Fu is 34 years old this year, who is Ling Feng's opponent for this awesome guy?!
But then again, in addition to Gough and McAllister, the Rangers also have three veterans over the age of 32, left-back Brown, midfielder McCall and goalkeeper Gram.
It's no wonder that many players like to go to leagues like Scotland or Belgium when they get older, and they have the opportunity to participate in high-level competitions, and they are not so tired from playing usually - it is really a good place to retire!
With just five 32-year-olds and a 30-year-old Gascoigne who has drunk too much of his body, more than half of the Rangers' players have fitness issues – and that's good news for Hamburg.
Sure enough, as Ling Feng expected, after accompanying Ling Feng to almost step on the court, Rangers defender McCall finally began to cramp in the twenty-five minutes of the second half after colliding with Ling Feng once.
There was no choice but to replace the exhausted veteran and replace a young Scottish midfielder Murray, allowing the energetic young man to take the burden off several veterans at the back.
It's just that this little guy who has just passed his 22nd birthday is really not enough for Ling Feng to see......
A beautiful Cruyff turned around, and Ling Feng circled in front of Murray like a flying swan - after Murray finished enjoying Ling Feng's performance, he suddenly found that Ling Feng's figure could no longer be found.
Or rather, it's better to use ghosts......
Ling Feng broke through on the side and no one could stop him, and when he was blocked in the middle, the breakthrough on the side took advantage of Baron's height to score and became the consistent style of play of the Hamburg team.
Just five minutes after McCaul came off the pitch, a Hamburg attack was forced off by Ling Feng to shake off substitute Murray and cross into the right side of the box.
Baron pressed the 34-year-old veteran Gough in the middle, received this very comfortable pass from Ling Feng, flicked the header, and the ball flew into the door of the Rangers - 2:2 draw!
This goal was exactly the same as the Rangers' goal just now, and Ling Feng also completed a pass and a shot in this game, and drew with Gascoigne.
It's just that Baron's goal caused a dispute.
Goff really had no physical strength, and he was pressed by Baron, a German man, and suddenly lay on the ground with cramps - this was the fuse of the dispute.
The Rangers players and referees theorized that the goal was a foul on Baron - the honest Baron looked innocent and kept standing next to the referee to defend himself.
Baron doesn't defend it, it's very normal to come forward to the referee to theorize after being scored, anyway, it is basically impossible for the referee to change the penalty, the theory is just a formality, and the referee sent it away with a few words.
Who knew that this seemingly harmless big man gave up celebrating and arguing with them, which had to make the Rangers players have such an idea: "Goal is goal, and deliberately angry with us, isn't this deliberately losing our face?" ”
It was for this reason that goalkeeper Gramm, who was in the middle of the goal, stepped forward and pushed Baron - right under the nose of the referee.
This action was undoubtedly about to get a red card, but this guy Baron was so stupid that he was pushed and stood there without moving—if it was Ling Feng, it was estimated that Gramm's hand would have fallen before it touched him.
Gramm, who pushed the man, also realized his mistake, and quickly smiled and courted Baron and pleaded with the referee - perhaps this reason is also that in the home stadium of Rangers, the Italian referee, who had already drawn a red card, put the sign in again, which should be a yellow card.
For the players on the field, the most difficult to eat cards is the striker - because they rarely defend and basically do not foul - except for fake falls, and secondly, the goalkeeper, so a yellow card is nothing to Gram and the Rangers.
Just as the Rangers fans were rejoicing, there was an amazing scene on the field......
Because the referee touched the red card first, although the yellow card was changed, the red card was also dropped - but the referee himself only cared about the record and did not notice it at all.
But just as he turned and walked away a few steps and suddenly remembered that the red card had fallen, the Italian referee saw Gascoigne pick up the red card with a smile, and then walked towards him with a serious face......
Without the imaginary action of handing back the sign with both hands, Gascoigne raised the red card high with a serious face and shook it at the referee......
This guy who doesn't know the height of the sky actually showed a red card to the referee!
The audience was dumbfounded, even Ling Feng opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, this guy is really too good!
The referee from Italy was obviously stunned, and then snatched the red card from Gascoigne's hand and turned to him to shine!
Gascoigne was sent off with a red card!
In everyone's stunned eyes, Gascoigne walked into the lounge with a chic twist of catwalks—well, and a woman's step......
When Gascoigne walked into the lounge, the crowd erupted in applause – no one was sent off for a red card in this important game, football is for entertainment, and the fans wouldn't blame him for the fun he brought to the fans – but the price was a bit too great.
Such an act will certainly be punished by UEFA, and with the fact that he gave the referee two middle fingers, I am afraid that the punishment will not be light - even if UEFA does not impose a penalty, he will definitely miss the second away game against Hamburg with such a red card.
With the scoreline level now levelled and Hamburg scoring two more away goals, and the midfielder's efficient engine not playing, it is conceivable that Rangers will win this game – no less difficult than getting Gascoigne to turn around......
Probably the only person in the audience who gloated was Gough, who had just been carried down with cramps, because although the two were both core players of the Rangers, they had a bad relationship - to be precise, Gough hated Gascoigne to the core......
The reason is very peculiar, because Gascoigne, the guy, after a drunken time, actually peed on the sleeping Guff (a real incident, the referee was also a real event, but it was originally a yellow card, and now it is a red card - the result is that he was sent off)......
With three main players out – Gascoigne sent off, Gough and McCall replaced due to lack of energy – the Rangers were in a great predicament!
Without the defense of Gough and McCall, the two new young players together are not Ling Feng's opponents - they don't even stick to the hair, and they still want to break the ball?
The desperate Rovers manager had to immediately use the last substitution, replacing the aging striker McAllister and replacing the defender Wright, and in the final 20 minutes of the game, holding the current 2-2 tie was the biggest victory.
It's just that the Rangers' wishful thinking is wrong, and although Gough and McCall are better defensively than the two little guys they replaced, they are not as capable as Summerer and Mateus in any way - both in terms of experience and skill.
Although part of the reason why Ling Feng has not dared to press is that he is afraid of being injured, he is even more afraid of the opponent's counterattack, and now, Gascoigne and McAllister have gone down, who else do the Rangers expect to attack?!
Ling Feng replaced the central defender Hinkoz, replaced the forward Breiten Reiter, strengthened the pressing and attacking in the frontcourt, and he began to be active, repeatedly attacking the door of the Rangers.
In the thirty-seventh minute of the second half, Breiten Reiter was pulled in front of the penalty area, and Ling Feng returned to the Rangers with a standard "Ling's arc", overtaking the score to 3:2!
And just when the referee raised the sign for three minutes of stoppage time, Ling Feng forced a breakthrough from the left side of the penalty area to the goal, and after successfully attracting the attention of all defenders, he gently passed the ball forward.
Ivanoscas met the ball unguarded and fired a furious shot to set the score at 4:2!
With a two-goal lead, four away goals, and Gascoigne's inability to play in the next game, the Hamburg team has basically confirmed the qualification, and their opponents in the final are the most likely to be Ling Feng's old acquaintances who just beat La Liga powerhouse Real Betis 3-0 at home - Arsenal, Arsenal.
It's just that at this time, Ling Feng couldn't think about the situation after meeting his old friend Anelka, Henry, and Bergkamp, because just as they were about to walk into the lounge, the guff who had been urinated on by Gascoigne came from a heart-rending cry at the door of the lounge: "Paul. Gascoigne, he committed suicide by jumping off a building! ”
