Chapter 0267: The Savior Is Coming!
In the quarter-eighth elimination match of the European Cup with the German team, Hodgson still played in the 433 formation, and the four defenders were No. 2 Walker, No. 5 Gary Cahill, No. 6 Smalling and No. 3 Rose; The three midfielders are No. 20 Alli, No. 17 Dier and No. 10 Rooney, and the three forwards are No. 15 Sturridge, No. 9 Kane, No. 7 Sterling, and Rashford is on the bench although he is in the squad.
In this game, England started well, in the 3rd minute of the game, Sturridge crossed diagonally from the right, Sterling burst into the penalty area and was knocked down by Neuer, and referee Skomeina decisively awarded a penalty. Wayne Rooney then hit the bottom left corner to give England a 1-0 lead over Germany. It was Wayne Rooney's 53rd goal for England and extended the lead in the club's all-time leading scorers' chart.
However, the German team soon returned the color, in the 7th minute of the game, Kroos free kick from the right side of the penalty area passed into the penalty area, Khedira shook his head in the middle from close range, Joe Hart flew to lift the ball out with one palm, and England escaped!
However, England had not yet recovered from the crisis when their goal was lost.
In the 8th minute, Ozil's left corner kick into the penalty area, Cahill headed the ball out, Boateng did not wait for the ball to land at the top of the arc of the penalty area, volleyed with his right foot, and the ball flew into the lower left corner of the goal like a cannonball, 1:1!
The Germans tied the score almost at lightning speed. Then, ten minutes later, the score was overtaken again.
In the 18th minute of the game, Mesut Ozil made a short pass, Draxler knocked it horizontally, Gomez shot low in the middle, the ball was saved by Hart and still rolled into the goal line, Germany took the lead 2-1.
………………
In this game, captain Rooney played very hard, but he was not in good shape, his performance was unsatisfactory, and there was nothing particularly eye-catching.
And Sturridge was extremely excited because of the starter, he was too excited, he used too much force, and he didn't take advantage of several good opportunities.
Throughout the first half, the broadcast screen frequently showed the camera to Rashford sitting on the bench, Rashford's face was solemn, and his apparent calmness was impulsive and anxious, as if he wanted to rush directly to the field and kick the ball into the door of the German team.
England fans shouted at Hodgson, you really want to take England to hell!
Standing on the sidelines, Hodgson did not react to the insults from the English fans in the stands behind him, and his face sank.
At the start of the second half, Hodgson made changes to England's line-up, replacing Dier with No.18 Wilshere, who had struggled in the first half.
It's just that this substitution didn't bring much change to England. Although England had a certain advantage on the field and formed several shots in a row, the players on the field lacked the ability to grasp the opportunity, and several shots did not achieve any results.
In the 60th minute, Hodgson made another substitution, replacing Raheem Sterling with Dardy.
Unfortunately, Vardy, who was seen as his savior, did not bring him good luck, but England conceded again less than three minutes after he came on the pitch.
In the 63rd minute, Kroos crossed a corner kick from the right side into the penalty area, Hummels headed the ball, and the unmarked Draxler turned sideways in front of the goal and volleyed with his right foot at close range, and the ball went straight to the top corner of the goal, 3:1!
………………
Despite the team trailing by two goals, Hodgson had no intention of making any more substitutions, but kept pressuring the players on the sidelines, asking them to press.
At this time, Hodgson, who was fighting with his back, could no longer care that such a decision could lead England to concede more goals.
Fortunately, after taking a two-goal lead, Germany decided to take it away, which gave England an advantage on the field.
But it was only a superficial advantage, and England was still powerless to change the scoreline.
As time went on, the English players became more and more agitated, and if they couldn't change the scoreline, they really had to go home.
Eighty minutes into the game, England, still down 3-1, the fans were desperate, the players were desperate, and even Hodgson himself was desperate.
In the 86th minute, after all, it was already garbage time, and the stubborn Hodgson finally sent Rashford on the field, and it was captain Wayne Rooney who was replaced by him.
Such a substitution is completely irresponsible, or rather Hodgson's intention to dump the pot on Rashford.
Rashford is well aware of Hodgson's thoughts, so he won't give him a good look anymore.
Ignoring Hodgson's outstretched hand before coming on, Rashford walked to the sideline with his head held high. Rashford knows he will not be treated well by Hodgson. But it doesn't matter, I don't want to see you!
I'll tell you with my goals how stubborn you are!
Thinking that by putting me on the field when the game goes into garbage time, you can hit me, and I will tell you with the facts that for a man with a cheat, time is not an issue at all, as long as I am given a chance, I will shine!
"England fans, your savior is here!" Rashford cried out in his heart, he felt like he was about to explode from head to toe, and he didn't know if it was because he was too excited in his heart, or if he used the reason why the gods had descended to earth.
………………
An open-handed Rashford proved unstoppable, and this game is destined to be remembered by history.
The England fans cheered from the bottom of their hearts when Marcus Rashford came on and it looks like England want to continue in the Euros...... Capable of pulling a goal back and saving some face, Rashford is their only hope.
Marcus Rashford did not disappoint the fans, giving them a big surprise with his first touch of the ball.
After receiving a pass from Alli on the left flank, Rashford turned and dribbled straight into the depths of his opponent's home.
Rashford's current dribbling has already been raised to 90, and under the influence of the gods, the dribbling value has broken through the sky, reaching 108, which is definitely the first person at that time.
Marcus Rashford was seen to connect two opposing players in a very small range near the touchline and continue to lunge forward.
At this time, Sturridge in the penalty area has already raised his hand high to ask for the ball, and according to the normal routine, he should be able to cross at this time. But how could Rashford handle the ball so sloppily?
Even if I cross, you guarantee that you will be able to get the point?
I can't guarantee it, so you'll play with me!
At this time, Rashford only believes in himself and believes that he can change everything!
Rashford faced the German defenders, jumped with the ball fiercely, cut inside to the middle, dodged the gap and shot directly, and the ball whistled straight into the dead corner!
Standing in the wind, Rashford clenched his fists and let out a roar from the depths of his soul.
Perhaps everyone knows what this roar means! I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
