Volume 6 Chapter 55 Revisited Yesterday

Macqin ran frantically to the sidelines, and then jumped high, and the few white fans in the stands instantly boiled, on the contrary, yellow was indeed silent.

At half-time, the whole England team already knew the news that the French team had taken the lead, and they were already behind in the race, and in the 66th minute, they finally seized the opportunity!

"Mark, Mark, Goaaaaal......, beautiful, he can always find the gap in the back, a lethal blow, his running is absolutely extraordinary", Lineker cried out frantically, "This goal finally broke the deadlock, with this goal we will be invincible"

'Yes, it was a crucial goal for England,' said Wilson, 'and I felt like I saw Wayne Rooney in 2004, England had one foot in the knockout rounds!' ”

Instead of enthusiastic cheers, and even tons of boos on the pitch, Ukraine intends to hold on to the death, and then wait for their king, the nuclear warhead Shepchenko, to come on the field, and the hopes of winning the counterattack are dashed!

With only 4 minutes left, Hamlin sighed depressedly, and then hurried to bring back Shepchenko, who was warming up, which had been planned for 70 minutes on the field, and it was going to be advanced today.

Otherwise, Ukraine has no chance, they need to overtake the score in order to compete for the right to qualify, and there is no point in a draw, but the time left for them is only 20 minutes.

"Well done, Mark ......"

"Your goal is so timely......"

"Haha, now let's see how they keep ......"

England's teammates hugged Mackin and celebrated wildly on the sidelines, even if the boos were all over the place, Capello waved his arms excitedly, and the strategy of the second half succeeded!

Make every effort to increase the defensive pressure on Ukraine on the flanks and tear up their defensive lines, they will always show gaps, just like this time, the gap in strength is objective.

"England is back at the top of the instant standings, it's really intense", Zhan Jun sighed, "The French team is still 1:0, if the score of the two teams remains in the midfield, England will appear as the top of the group"

"At the critical moment, it depends on Mr. Ma," Huang Jianxiang said with a smile.

This goal basically relieved the pressure on England to qualify, and for the rest of the time, they only needed to seize the mentality of Ukraine trying to pull it back, and be able to seal the win, and by the way, lock up the top spot in the group.

After they celebrated, they walked back with a relaxed demeanor, and at this moment, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the substitution sign, and Ukraine's last trump card was about to play.

Nuclear warheads, Shepchenko!

He is omnipotent at AC Milan, and although he suffered a star black hole at Chelsea and his form has declined seriously, he is still a well-deserved knife in the Ukrainian national team.

His first way of hitting the ball and shooting was definitely a world-class existence at his peak, even if he is old now, he has a tendency to develop towards the old demon, otherwise he would not have been able to win two goals in the first game.

"Shepchenko is going to play, it's a few minutes earlier than before, and it seems that Hamlin can't wait," Zhan Jun explained, "They urgently need a nuclear warhead to continue their lives"

"Hehe", Zhang Lu said with a smile, "It's just a few minutes, it's a failure, if Ukraine can hold out 0:0 until Shepchenko plays, it will be completely different, and the morale will be different"

Although it was a little tragic, although it was a little slim, the Ukrainian fans in the stadium still gave their king and the team the warmest cheers, looking forward to a miracle.

Capello stretched out his hand and made a downward gesture to the players on the field, meaning to ask them to steady, don't worry, in fact, there is no need to say it, with the experience of England's veteran players, they also know how to play.

The game is back!

Ukraine's kick-off is obviously different, the momentum is more fierce, the pressure is higher, and the fans in the stadium are like shouting cheers in a basketball game, wave after wave encouraging their offense.

Shepchenko mainly plays on the left side and likes to cut inside the ribs, but England have already made a plan, and Glen Johnson completely gave up assists and, along with Ferdinand, blocked Shepchenko.

As a 1.9-meter high school striker, Milevsky's role at this time is to make balls and walls for Shepchenko, most of which are headers.

Since Shepchenko came on the field, Ukraine's attack has become what the commentator said: backfield, high ball, Milevsky, and Terry fought for the top, and was pushed back, otherwise it was ferried to Shepchenko.

All that's left is to rely on Shepchenko's individual ability, either to break through and shoot on his own, or to draw the defence and create chances for his teammates.

"Mr. Ma, he snatched the ball from behind Garmash, England played very pragmatically, if you attack Ukraine, I will take it back", Huang Jianxiang explained.

"These big men in Ukraine, you let him play with the defensive position, it's still almost there," Zhang Lu echoed.

Shepchenko had been on the pitch for almost ten minutes, but he had yet to create a shot on the left and England's defence was dead.

If it's clear, I'm going to fight you back, and see if you can't get out.

Even if you know that you may die if you come out, but if you don't come out, you will die, Ukraine actually has no choice but to bluntly make a ball for Shepchenko.

This time, Mackin took advantage of Shepchenko's habitual failure to break through and pass back, stuck the right time, broke the ball with one kick, and then immediately handed it to nearby Milner, and he quickly ran away.

The Ukrainians were frantic in pressing, and they once again brought down Milner, who was about to pass the ball, up front and received a third yellow card of the second half.

The Ukrainian fans in the stands watched the time slip away minute by minute, extremely anxious, but England's grinding style and experience made them itch with hatred, and for a while, as soon as England received the ball, they immediately booed.

But the reality is often harsh.

When the game approached the last ten minutes, Ukraine's inefficient pressing finally caused a bad result, and their physical strength could not support it.

"Mr. Ma, pass the ball to the side, and play Welbeck's side, he only came on in the second half, he is fit, Welbeck, break through on the side", Zhan Jun explained.

Gussef desperately squeezed out the last of his strength and firmly followed Welbeck, but by this time the Ukrainian formation was much looser than they would normally have maintained.

It was a very simple combination, Welbeck did not cross after going down, and passed the ball back to Rooney who cut inside, Rooney pretended to break through the ribs and shot a long shot, and after the Ukrainian defensive back came over, it was passed to Mackin who followed up in the middle, and Mackin didn't say a word, and directly slashed it.

Ukraine's backline, which moved back and forth, was finally not so tight, and was directly penetrated, Gerrard instantly inserted it on the side, and then directly swept the penalty area with a strong kick.

"Rooney......, Goaaaaal......, Rooney, he killed the game", Lineker exclaimed, "since the goal, England have firmly controlled the tempo in their own hands"

"Beautiful combination, Rooney followed up at the back post and scored with a strike!" Wilson shouted, "The French team is still 1:0, and our group top spot is already secure!" ”

When this goal was scored, the hearts of the Ukrainian fans in the entire stadium were completely cold, the players basically lost hope, and Hamlin reluctantly bowed his head and gave up the last effort.

Macqin and they hugged Rooney and celebrated loudly outside the bottom line, entering the knockout round, which was already a certainty, and the upcoming match against Pirlo also made Macqin's heart hot.

This is a midfielder comparable to Zidane, Zidane can't touch it, and being able to compete with Pirlo usually can be regarded as a dream fulfillment of his dreams, after all, Pirlo is his idol.

But, everything is afraid of but!

After taking the lead, Ukraine did not press wantonly, England also slowed down the tempo, intending to reserve physical strength for the knockout round, and the players also had selfish intentions and were afraid of injury.

In the last few minutes of the game, the French side also scored, also 2-0, Nasri scored with a direct free kick, but this goal still had no big impact on the result.

But at the last minute of the game, when stoppage time was about to end, the situation changed!

"Oh my God, France, France is 3-0 ahead of Sweden, Swedish defender Melberg scored an own goal", Zhan Jun said incredulously, "so they will be the first in the group"

Here, there was relatively little stoppage time, the referee had already blown the whistle for the end of the game, Makqin was shaking hands with Shepchenko and chatting, and Capello was the first to know the news.

"Shit", even he had to come to a swear word, sigh and make people.

"In that case, England's knockout opponent will be Spain, which is a repeat of the World Cup final two years ago!" , Zhan Jun continued, "No one expected to meet so early"

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it", Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "The French team is really, scored two goals in the last 5 minutes and completed the ranking reversal"

Mark Qin was walking off the field with his teammates, and suddenly saw Capello and his teammates on the bench with constipated expressions, which was indescribably weird.

"Huh? What's wrong? Makqin asked.

"France scored two goals in a row, 3-0", Gary Neville shrugged and said speechlessly.

β€œhatοΌŸβ€ , "Shit", the teammates who went off the field with Mackin suddenly felt incredulous, is France so strong? Hit Sweden two goals in 5 minutes?

But it happened!

Mackin was also stunned for a moment, damn it, Italy has become Spain!

On the other side, the Spanish players, who were watching the game, were gearing up and in high spirits, "killing them", "revenge", "sending England back to their hometown......

"Oh ......", Lineker in the England studio was also stunned, "This is really ......", it's not that I'm afraid of Spain, but when the things in hand fly, it doesn't feel so good.

"The World Cup final is about to repeat itself again at the European Championships......," Maika touched her nose and said helplessly.

"Let's go, whoever it is, our goal is to beat it", Mackin reacted, slapped his face, and walked into the players' tunnel first.

There are too many Ukrainian fans here, booing for days, especially after seeing them reversed the ranking by France, there is a strange sense of pride in their hearts, it is really not a place to stay for a long time.

After taking a shower and changing clothes in the locker room, as the best of the game, Mackin was interviewed by media reporters in the passage.

"Spain and Italy are actually no different, they are both strong teams, it doesn't matter who you play against, if you want to keep going, you have to beat every opponent," he said lightly.

"Aren't you depressed about being reversed?" , a reporter asked.

'It's nothing, it happens all the time on the pitch and we can only blame ourselves for being too relaxed after scoring a goal and I think it's a punishment for us', he continued.

'But we still won against Ukraine in the end, in front of tens of thousands of fans at the opponent's home stadium, it was not an easy opponent, but we showed maturity and that is the most important thing'.

"As for Spain, since we can beat them once in the World Cup, we can beat them a second time in the European Championship, there is no invincible team in the world and we are ready"

He stretched out his index finger, pointed at the camera, and said with a smile, full of confidence......
