Chapter 669: Advance to the Finals

England's players celebrated together, and any goal could have changed the game, and with a late goal, England were sure to secure a victory.

However, while others hugged Terry to congratulate and celebrate, Vardy did not come over to join in the fun, and his direct assister seemed to have completely become a passerby, which made it strange for some people to see.

Could it be that Vardy and Terry have deep contradictions?

It doesn't make sense!

Vardy once had a very bad deal with Chelsea's vice-president Frank Lampard on the pitch, and all kinds of-for-tat confrontations did not give in to each other, but in the end, it was not a grudge, like a good friend.

In this game, Vardy and Pepe collided fiercely, and even wanted to use force to solve it directly, but in the end, the two were heroes and heroes, and hooked their shoulders.

There is no reason why Vardy and Terry have a bad relationship, because there shouldn't be anything dirty between the two.

At most, when England was training in the team, Terry might have been a bit tough defending Vardy, but could this be considered a contradiction?

However, the game continued, and these people could only suppress their curiosity and continue to watch the fierce game.

After another two-goal lead, Heynckes immediately adjusted his style of play, replacing Joe Cole with Hargreaves, and the team also changed to 442, with midfielders Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Hargreaves and David Beckham lined up in a complete line, sniping Portugal's attack outside the danger zone.

Portugal will not be so easy to pass through such an extremely strong defensive midfield, and Heynckes's strategy is to force Portugal to start using more crosses, so as to infinitely reduce the threat of Portugal's attack.

And Scolari is not strong in on-the-spot command, and is not even as good as many ordinary managers, he has been attacking England's midfield for a long time, and it took him to react after repeated setbacks, and ground penetration has not worked.

In desperation, Scolari replaced the center Gomez and began to attack more from the wings, frequently playing high balls, while Ronaldo and Gomes struggled to fight for headers under the strict defense of Terry and Ferdinand, and the offensive efficiency was extremely low.

Scolari's on-the-spot adjustments have been criticized, and it was obviously too late to make such an adjustment with a few minutes left in the game, not to mention that Portugal simply did not have a traditional centre-forward, whether it was Nunogomes or Cristiano Ronaldo, headers were not their strongest point, in such tactics, it was really tormenting.

In stoppage time, Pepe and Carvalho both rushed into the England box to fight for a header, and Pepe, covered by his team-mates, really posed a threat to the England goal, but unfortunately the post blocked Pepe's header this time.

With Ronaldo's last impatient shot sliding out of the goal, the whistle that the referee had been holding in his mouth was finally blown, which meant that the semi-final battle was over.

The moment the whistle blew, cheers erupted in the stadium, with England players raising their fists in celebration of their victory and reaching the final, while Portugal collapsed to the ground, reluctant to get up.

Jamie Vardy hugged Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and the captain to celebrate a victory that wasn't all smooth sailing.

This is England's first European Championship final and the Three Lions are making history of their own.

Portugal is very strong, it is recognized as a strong opponent in the world, and the fact that they have reached the semi-finals of the World Series in a row is the best proof of this, and England can be proud to defeat such a Portugal with absolute strength.

After celebrating with his team-mates, Vardy walked over to the opposing Portuguese players, along with his good friends and the warrior monks who didn't know each other because of the fight.

Ronaldo's eyes were hollow, his mouth was slightly open but he couldn't speak, his eyes were already red, and only tears remained.

This scene is not abrupt, this is not the first time Ronaldo has shed tears, don't look proud like him, in fact, he is also a delicate and emotional person, and he fell in the World Series again, which is really uncomfortable.

Vardy put his arm around Ronaldo's shoulder, but did not provoke his already fragile nerves, patted him the back, and after conveying his meaning with his movements, he turned and left.

Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't need comfort, setbacks only make him grow faster, and Vardy knows this very well, so he won't go to his mother-in-law to talk about it.

Walking to Pepe's side, Pepe was sitting on the ground with his knees crossed, even if he was not depressed, but he was no longer the warrior monk who was full of energy, and Pepe at this time was also very helpless.

Vardy sat next to Pepe, in the same position as Pepe, looking across from the stands, where there were England fans singing and dancing and there was nowhere to release their joy, as well as Portuguese fans with tears and sadness.

"I don't want to be an opponent with you, I have to admit that you are the most careful defender for me!" Vardy said from the bottom of his heart, this is by no means perfunctory.

Who is it that can still concentrate on playing when you know that your opponent may go crazy against you?

Maybe this is also Pepe's routine, first use a few terrible fouls that are almost crazy to make you afraid, and then deal with you, I'm afraid it will be a lot easier.

At least even Jamie Vardy, the lucky guy with the help of the system, is careful to guard against Pepe, not to mention the average players.

Pepe glanced sideways at Vardy when he heard this, forcibly pulled the corners of his mouth, and revealed a very ugly smile, the bitterness in the smile that Vardy could read.

Vardy stood up, patted his ass and reached out to Pepe again.

"What? I was able to stand up after facing my feet, but now I can't stand up? Vardy said with a smile.

Pepe was not polite, took Vardy's hand and took it again, then clenched it, let go again, and walked off the pitch without looking back.

"Next time, I'll be able to defend you, don't be complacent!"

These are the words that Pepe threw to Vardy.

Vardy shook his head and smiled, but he didn't care.

To be able to defend himself, such a defender may not have been born yet.

Either way, Pepe was proud enough to be proud of because he could say that Vardy didn't score while he was on the pitch.

Coming to the sidelines with his teammates and thanking the fans for their support was routine, and England, who won and advanced to the final, was also cheered by the fans even more, and everyone was extremely proud that England were invincible on this night.

Vardy didn't attend the post-match press conference, and he didn't want to know what was going on at the press conference, he just wanted to get back in bed and get a good night's sleep.

On this night, countless England fans stayed up all night, enjoying the excitement and joy of victory, but what they didn't know was that the England players they supported were exhausted and dreamed of after returning to the hotel.

Early the next morning, news about the match appeared in the media, in front of the eyes of everyone who followed the European Championship.

England's victory over Portugal is not an upset, it should be said that the vast majority of people think that this is the most regular result, because England's strength is indeed stronger than Portugal.

Portugal have their own advantage and are not without the possibility of beating England, who have shown great control, but the real winner is still determined by Vardy.

As many Portuguese fans are not convinced, if it were not for Pepe's two injuries and treatment on the sidelines, England might not have been able to take a two-goal lead, and it would be difficult to talk about a victory.

Of course, ordinary fans have long been accustomed to Vardy's peculiar ways to bring victory to the team, and this is not a fantasy.

The Three Lions, who have always had high hopes for them, have finally made it to the final, and who will be able to stop England from winning the title this time?

Countless comments on the game, the team-friendliness, the brotherhood and even the story that had to be told between Vardy and Pepe really caught a wave of eyeballs.

Aside from the details of the game, the most interesting thing is Jamie Vardy's goal count.

Prior to the final, Jamie Vardy had scored seven goals in the group stage and knockout stages, a statistic that surpassed the vast majority of previous Golden Boot winners and only less than Platini's miracle of nine goals in '84.

You know, the European Championship is not over yet, and no one knows what kind of energy Jamie Vardy will burst out in the final.

If he can score two goals, then Vardy can equal Platini's goal record and sit alongside the UEFA president;

And once Jamie Vardy scores a hat-trick, he will completely surpass the famous and dominate.

Jamie Vardy has always pulled off incredible miracles and has never been afraid of anyone, at least when it comes to scoring goals.

Can you guarantee that he won't be able to score a hat-trick in the final?

History is meant to be transcended; Records are meant to be broken; Miracles are meant to be amazed.
