Volume IV Chapter 48 The End of the War
"Ahh
"F**K", Capello's rare outburst, scolded directly on the sidelines, relying on penalties to pull back a goal obviously greatly boosted Uruguay's arrogance, and after the restart, they launched a more frantic pressing and pressing.
This was the busiest period of the game, he was receiving passes everywhere in the backfield, constantly shouting for his teammates to stabilize and not let the opponent go crazy!
Just as he was answering Terry's pass, Cavani made a direct tackle from a few steps away, and Mackin was about to shake him over with a slight pick, but he didn't expect Cavani to rush so hard.
"F**K, you die, are you playing football or not", Carragher stopped at the time, ran over and shoved Cavani in the chest, he was trying to comfort Mackin who was sitting on the ground with his feet covered and grinning.
"No, No, I didn't mean to", Cavani stepped back and opened his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and the referee blew the whistle and ran up, separated the players who were gathering more and more, and raised his hand to give Cavani a yellow card.
Fran and Suarez ran over to stop their players, and quickly explained to Gerrard that the game had to be temporarily suspended, and Mack stood up slowly with Barry's shoulder, the place where the spikes were hung was still a little painful, and he stepped back and forth a few times, trying to make sure that there was no problem with the bones and ligaments.
Fortunately, the problem is not big, Capello stood on the sidelines and breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he recall it, and quickly ran to the fourth referee to put pressure.
"Mr. Ma is not a big problem", Duan Xuan looked at it for a while and said, "But you have to be careful, Uruguay is obviously about to take off, and now they are probably desperate to equalize the score."
Suarez waited not far from the foul point for England to kick off again, ready to scramble, and the Uruguayan fans in the stands shouted frantically into the stadium as if they were about to win, cheering in solidarity with their team.
On the pitch, you are never afraid that your opponent will score more goals, but you are most afraid that your side will not see hope.
Clearly, Uruguay's performance at the start of the second half did not give them hope.
With a "beep", the referee confirmed that Mackin did not need to get off the field and gave a gesture to restart the game, because it was not far from the line of the big penalty area, Uruguay pressed the front receiving point very hard, and Joe Hart kicked it wide.
Mackin felt the pain in his foot ease a little and hurried towards the front, it was the most difficult period for England, he could feel the emotions of his teammates, they were worried.
Fear of being equalized.
You can't tell where this concern comes from, but it's true that some club teams and national teams have this problem, perhaps because the key moments in the past have always been so missed.
Reaching the top 4 is a huge honor, but at this moment it also becomes a huge pressure, and they are afraid that they will make mistakes!
Mackin is like carrying a tightrope, stringing his teammates firmly, maintaining it and falling constantly, and he can't hold it, because he knows that he can't hold it!
It's not entirely a matter of ability, it's mentality, the more they defend, the more nervous they are, the more afraid they are of conceding the ball, Uruguay has no shortage of long-range shooters, not to mention the X-factor of Suarez.
Capello was quite sensitive to the situation on the field, and immediately pointed at Mark Qin and shouted into the field: "Follow Mark's rhythm, keep up, play how you want!" ”
Crouch carried the obviously more aggressive Lugano, barely managed to get the header, but unable to control the direction, Rios stepped back, struggling to jump enough to reach the ball, but he didn't expect a huge impact from the back, half a shoulder above him, and a powerful header pushed the ball to the side.
"Mark, a powerful fight, he's a fighter now!" Lineker shouted, especially after being tackled, the response looked quite powerful, "Rooney, he chased the ball on the wing, Pereira shoveled the ball out of the touchline"
As soon as Mack received Ashleyker's throw-in, he felt a hand grab his shoulder, pull hard, and then steal the ball with a kick in front of him.
"Toot", the referee blew the whistle again, and then saw Suarez holding the ball and chattering, which probably meant that he was using his body to fight normally, not a foul.
This time, Mak Qin was not silent, and directly took out the gesture of asking for cards to put pressure on the referee, "Hey, referee, they have too many small actions, you can't indulge them"
Only when I played with South American teams did I know how annoying their ubiquitous little actions are, squeezing, pulling, and doing everything is annoying.
The Hungarian referee obviously didn't intend to make a big fuss, and directly signaled to Mack Qin to kick off, and Mark Qin didn't do much entanglement, and directly handed a long pass to Gerrard on the right side.
Now Uruguay's local pressing is too crazy, and he wants to use a wide range of scheduling to crack their pressing, otherwise it is really easy to have problems if he is robbed.
"Gerrard, stop the ball on the sideline, Fucilai is defending him, Gerrard, outside the instep to the baseline, Johnson plugs in, oops, slow, the ball is out of the line", Lineker said regretfully.
'England are a bit of a lack of concentration,' said Wilson, 'they were obviously affected by that penalty and have to adjust as soon as possible, Uruguay are like a ferocious tiger waiting for you to show their flaws'
Johnson himself shook his head and ran towards the backfield, and the Uruguayan fans in the stands let out unbridled boos and ridicule, disrupting the opponent's form as much as they could.
"Don't retreat, hold on", Macqin shouted to his teammates in the center circle, not allowing Uruguay to play in front of the penalty area frequently, it is too dangerous, they have no shortage of long-range shooters, not to mention Suarez, the X-factor.
"Cavani, fight for the point again, Suarez, he is really good at using his body, resisting the position to squeeze Frank Lampard and hand it to Forlan who answers", Duan Xuan explained.
Mackin immediately stepped forward to block Fran, but he didn't expect Fran to not take it forward at all, and the ball was directly a kick, and Mackin didn't know what he was going to do, so he quickly looked back.
Hanging doors!
"Fran, hanging door ......", Lineker shouted tremblingly, the ball flew high, spanning a distance of more than 40 meters, and ran directly to the goal, Joe Hart was startled, quickly retreated, jumped high, fortunately he did not go too far from the small penalty area, and directly lifted the ball out of the bottom line.
"Oh ......, it's dangerous, Uruguay have been playing with confidence for a while", Lineker said, "we can't let them get up, there are more than 20 minutes left in the game"
Corner kick.
"Look at people, watch people", England's penalty area seems to be quite tense, and the players on both sides keep pulling, especially Suarez, who keeps going around like a pangolin.
Then, Ma Qin at the top of the arc of the big penalty area saw him suddenly drill out of the crowd and run against the gap in the ribs, and Ma Qin subconsciously hurried to follow, because his danger level was the highest in his heart.
Sure enough, Diego Fran made a quick low ball straight for Suarez, and at the point where the ball landed, Suarez was swinging his leg sideways, opening his bow and arrow, ready to volley sideways.
But just as the ball was about to arrive, his posture was perfectly set, and at the moment when the swinging left leg collided with the ball, a figure emerged from behind the side, and the ball was pushed out first, and his swinging left leg was also kicked to his arm.
Mackqin, who jumped forward and rushed forward, didn't pay attention to the slight pain in his arm, staggered to the ground, and chased directly towards the ball that did not go out of the sideline.
Suarez, who was taken by Mackin with a fart, sat on the ground and slapped the lawn fiercely, depressed, the referee hesitated with the whistle in his mouth, saw that Mackin did not fall to the ground, and stretched out his hand to signal the game to continue.
"Mark, head first, Mark, counterattack, England's counterattack ......", Lineker shouted, Mackin who ran out of the penalty area followed the tsunami of England fans, and chased the ball with all his might, just like Uruguay's counterattack in the first half, this time they only had two defenders left in the backfield.
Seizing this rare opportunity and killing the game is his only thought!
When the ball was about to roll off the sideline, he finally caught up with the ball, and he could even see Capello and Beckham on the sidelines not far from the ball, cheering for him.
He didn't have time to pay attention, he ran to the position and smothered at the bottom of the ball, and then ignored it, and continued to rush forward with absolute confidence.
From the perspective of Capello and Beckham, the teenager's strong self-confidence can be fully felt, and his entire movement does not even have a trace of stagnation and hesitation.
"Mark, Rooney on the left wing, precision!" Lineker shouted, the ball was like a guided missile, diagonally across the majority of the court, and Rooney, who stayed in front of the attack, on the other side, was sprinting hard.
Uruguay knew that it would be difficult to get it back if they conceded again, and England also needed this goal to suppress the shock, and the one-goal lead was too frightening for them.
The whole process didn't need to be complicated at all, Rooney sprinted on the side, brought the ball to the edge of the penalty area and attracted the defense of the opponent's two remaining full-backs, immediately cut inside and changed direction, and then directly pushed the ball from the left side of the box back to the right.
It's empty, and now Uruguay's penalty area is more empty than ever.
Muslera dropped the ball and headed for Mackqin on his left who was meeting him from outside the box, and he had no other choice, and the chasing midfielder Perez was still a few metres away from Mackqin and could not stop him from getting the ball.
Sometimes when you are faced with a dilemma, you still have to make a choice, even if it is painful, because when Muslera is halfway through, he chooses to give up resistance.
The first touch of the ball by the number 18 was a rainbow-like arc, dazzling as an arched bridge, and he knew that there might be such an ending, but he had to attack.
"Mark......, ...... to shoot," Lineker shouted again, just like a few minutes ago, but this time he shouted it vividly and without flaw!
The left-back Pereira, who was back to the goal, did not touch the falling ball without touching the falling ball, and the elf-like ball carried the despair of the Uruguayan fans, the great surprise of the England fans, who fully accepted the embrace of gravity and plunged headlong into the far end of the goal!
"Goaaaaaal......, Mark, the hero, he killed the game! , he will take England to the last four, a breakthrough in 20 years, he can do it! , GoalGoal......", Lineker shouted frantically, and the white fans in the stands of the entire Soccer City stadium jumped up and exploded.
Thousands of arms waved to the sky, screaming the name that was about to kick the door open for them: Mark! Goal!
Beckham ran dozens of meters and jumped up, and the destined protagonist Macqin, the moment the ball flew, he turned around and spread his arms, flew to the corner flag area, and then hugged his arms around his chest.
Hold your head high and look at the world.
Everything has to start here, everything has to extend from under his feet, and the young man at this moment, like an eye of the storm, is dazzling the entire stadium and rushing towards him......
