Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Spoon
The Honduran players' hunches and fears were not self-inflicted, and their speculations were quickly confirmed in the second half.
The guy who scored two goals by himself in the first half was still crazy in the second half, he seemed to be tireless, and he didn't know what his subordinates were merciful, and he still hit their defense again and again, like a fierce lion king, not tearing his prey to pieces, and not stopping!
In the dressing room, Bosque affirmed and praised the outstanding performance of the starters, and encouraged everyone not to relax in the second half, and strive to usher in the first victory of this World Cup with a greater advantage, and also announced to the world with a hearty victory that the defeat in the first group stage was just an accident, and Spain was still the super team that terrified the whole world!
The players made a big promise, and Fan Bizhuang carried out the manager's will to the end.
At the beginning of the second half, he was already completely out of shape, and he tested the goalkeeper of the Honduran team with a long-range heavy bombardment.
Senna made a successful steal near the center circle and pushed the ball straight to Fan Bizhuang who was running in front of him, and Fan Bizhuang took the opportunity to move the ball forward, and the distance between him and the goal was quickly shortened in a few big steps. When everyone thought that Fan Bizhuang would continue to rush forward with the ball, Fan Bizhuang who was running raised his foot directly and shot the goal, the huge force almost pumped the football into half of it, and the flight almost did not rotate in the air, only the low roar caused by the violent friction between the football and the air.
"It's ...... Fan's shot! ”
"A super heavy cannon at least thirty meters from the goal!"
"Even though it's been a brace, it's still thriving!"
To the exclamations of the commentators, the ball sliced through the sky at breakneck speed and headed straight for the left side of the goal. Fortunately, although the shot was powerful and heavy, the angle was somewhat positive, and the Honduran goalkeeper flew and punched, hitting the football dangerously out of the bottom line, even if he successfully saved in the end, but his face still showed a look of horror.
The opponent's shot was really unusually powerful, and his fist wrist was a little painful at the moment. The most important thing is that the No. 23 player of the Spanish team is simply a madman, who has scored two goals, but still refuses to stop, still looks full of fighting spirit, this time, he can be lucky to block the opponent's shot, so what about next time, next time? If you really want to continue like this, then the goal you are guarding today must not be beaten into a sieve by the opponent?
The goalkeeper knew that Fan Bizhuang could no longer be so unscrupulous, but there was nothing he could do about how to contain the opponent, he was just a goalkeeper, and he couldn't rush out of the penalty area to entangle with the opponent, which is what defenders should do. But the problem is that his teammates can't stop Fan Bizhuang in the face of an almost unstoppable Fan Bizhuang!
That's really ...... The goalkeeper named Canales has the urge to jump and scold his mother, but more than that, he is deeply helpless.
Fan Bizhuang didn't know how much helplessness and resentment the goalkeeper on the other side had, he just clearly felt that his form today was unusually hot, maybe his first international debut made him more excited, or the crisis in Spain made him feel more urgent, which stimulated his competitive state even more, or the more important the event, the better his state would be.
Whatever the reason, he doesn't care, he just keeps running, keeps breaking, keeps shooting, keeps ...... Score, that's enough!
Van Bizhuang began to run more aggressively, this game, he played as a winger or a second striker, he needed to hide behind Torres and look for opportunities, but as the game progressed, his position became uncertain, sometimes he could go up front, sometimes he was active on both wings, and even, from time to time, he returned to midfield, or to play with his team-mates, or to put on a superb breakthrough show in midfield......
Fan Bizhuang has completely incarnated as a free man in the frontcourt, and he can be seen running almost anywhere in the midfield.
Fan Bizhuang's tireless running also drove the enthusiasm of the whole team, everyone saw Fan Bizhuang's hot state today, and also knew that Fan Bizhuang still wanted to continue to score goals and achieve a hat trick, for such things as adult beauty, teammates are still willing to do, in the midfield axis dominated by Xavi and Iniesta, began to send more passes to Fan Bizhuang's feet.
Fan Bizhuang naturally laughed completely, with a steady stream of shells from several passing masters in the midfield, Fan Bizhuang's breakthrough times began to decrease, and correspondingly, his shots gradually increased.
In the next nearly twenty minutes, Fan Bizhuang became the most active person on the entire court, and the most photogenic rate, whenever he appeared in front of the camera, the on-site commentators couldn't help but scream and shout.
"Fan Fan Fan! He shot—"
"Fan, he's up again! Nothing to say, another shot, a beautiful shot-"
"Long shots, hard shots, volleys, picks, hanging doors...... Van seems to be putting on a shooting show, he shoots in all sorts of ways, he seems to be born to score goals, he can shoot in every part of his body......"
The fans were shocked by the excitement of Fan Bizhuang, who was crazy with all directions, and Fan Bizhuang's all-round 360-degree fancy shots were simply eye-opening for everyone!
The fans jumped and screamed with excitement, and the atmosphere of the game was as hot as a boiling volcano. There are even fans with wide eyes and fanatical roars.
"Fan Fan Fan! You're so good that you keep shooting and shooting! ”
"Aren't you tired of shooting so much? Oh my God, is Fan an iron man? He's too strong! ”
"Van is a real man! Big man! I'm going to have a baby for you! ”
The fans were so excited that they were almost talking nonsense, in fact, Fan Bizhuang's approach of shooting when he had the opportunity would be criticized as "wave shooting" after the game many times, but I have to say that this is indeed a very exciting atmosphere, and it can also make people's blood boil, as evidenced by the incessant shouts at Ellis Park.
And under Fan Bizhuang's ferocious guns, the Honduran team was about to collapse completely, their counterattack was not at all, and the defense line was almost beaten by Fan Bizhuang alone, unable to raise his head, unable to attack, and could only passively press on the ground and rub, this feeling was extremely aggrieved.
And such grievances finally completely collapsed in the seventy-third minute of the game, because Fan Bizhuang scored again!
With a two-goal lead, the game was completely dominant, and the opponent was beaten to the ground, with the victory already decided, Bosque naturally wanted to prepare for the final group game, so he made a substitution in the 69th minute.
Cazorla and Pedro came off the bench to replace Xavi and Keylor Navas respectively.
It is precisely because of this substitution that the hat-trick pursued by Fan Bizhuang has become a reality.
Pedro, who came on the field not long ago, received a long pass from Iniesta on the right side, and after continuous shaking, he did not choose to break through, but waited for his teammates to come up, Cazorla just the right diagonal line was inserted, Pedro sent the football into the penalty area, and the running Cazorla kicked first and stabbed the ball away, while the Honduran defender moved slowly, stretched out his leg to destroy the ball, but did not touch the ball, but kicked down Cazorla's leg, Cazorla fell to the ground without any accident.
No doubt about the penalty!
The referee blew the whistle and pointed his right finger to twelve yards in the box.
The scene was boiling again.
A narrator has already stood up at the top of his lungs.
"Penalty! Penalty kick!! That's right, there was no doubt that the referee was pointing his hands to twelve yards, and it was a penalty without a doubt! Midfielder Santiago from Villarreal. Cazorla won a penalty for Spain and extended the score advantage, which is just around the corner! ”
"Who will take this penalty?"
"I think this penalty will be taken by Fan, very simply, Fan has good free-kick skills, his direct free-kick is a must-have in football today, and it has the highest success rate. Moreover, Van has already scored two goals in this game, and if he can score this penalty again, he will score a hat-trick! He will also become the 46th player in World Cup history to score a hat-trick, alongside many legends! ”
"I think so too. It's a friendship! The whole world knows that Fan Ke started his career from Villarreal, his status in the small town is self-evident, and between him and Cazorla, it is known as the 'meal card combination', and now, Cazorla has created a penalty, as a partner, Fan is naturally the best! Moreover, listen to the voices of the fans at the scene, under the cheers of the fans, if Fan did not stand in front of the penalty spot, it is estimated that the fans would not be happy! ”
In the stands on all sides, there was thunderous applause, accompanied by bursts of roars one after another, and the fans were shouting Fan Bizhuang's name.
"Fan! Fan!! Fan!!! ”
"Hat-trick! Hat trick!! ”
"Start your World Cup debut with a hat-trick! Fan...... Hat porridge! Fan...... Hat-trick! ”
Such shouts were like a plague, quickly spreading throughout the stands, and soon, the audience was filled with the roar of Fan Bizhuang's fame and "hat trick".
In the boiling noise, Fan Bizhuang held the football and slowly walked to the penalty area.
The cheers at the scene became more and more violent, and everyone's faces were filled with heat and anticipation.
The first penalty taker of the Spanish team was not Van Bizhuang, after all, Van Bizhuang is only a newcomer to the national team, and under normal circumstances, the first penalty taker is Xavi, followed by Iniesta, Torres, Alonso...... In terms of the order of rounds, Fan Bizhuang estimates that he can only crane the tail.
But at this moment, Xavi has been substituted, and Alonso is not present, Iniesta and others have also made a decision after pondering for a while, especially after hearing the shouts like a wave on the scene, and give the opportunity to take the penalty to Van Bizhuang.
Van Bizhuang has already sealed the win with two goals in this important game, and there is no doubt that Van Bizhuang was the biggest contributor to the team's crucial three points.
And this penalty is the best reward for him by the team, and at the same time, it is also a blessing from the big guy for his perfect debut in the national team competition.
Fan Bizhuang didn't shirk, just nodded at his teammates, walked into the penalty area with the ball, put the football on the white dot, slowly retreated, and after the referee's whistle sounded, he took a deep breath, raised his feet, and slowly assisted.
Raise your legs, run, kick the ground, stand still, and hit the soccer ball with your left foot...... A whole set of actions down, no stagnation!
The football rose from the ground and instantly drew a white line in the air, but to everyone's surprise, the speed of the football flying in the air was not fast, and the football rushed high into the sky, but it quickly fell in a parabolic attitude.
Spoon penalty!
The fans were dumbfounded, no one thought that on such a major stage as the World Cup, Fan Bizhuang would make such a penalty in the game, which is really ...... The artist is bold!
