233. The perfect half-time hat-trick
After Hao Dong finished speaking, he took a breath and said with a glow in his eyes: "I agree with Mr. Lineker's words, among the opponents in the first half, the strength of the Northern Ireland team is the weakest, and Qiansheng has every strength to score more goals in this game. If you get through, the match will most likely be against Portugal or Croatia, either of which will be strong opponents. Although Qiansheng will still score, he may not have the opportunity to score more. ”
Liu Xixi once interviewed Qiansheng at Arsenal, and she said with a smile: "Qiansheng is really amazing, although he is Chinese, he is very famous in China, and he is the pride of all Chinese fans." ”
Squid Lau took the lead in speaking on behalf of the layman's group, and another professional, the well-known Hong Kong Island actor Tsang Chi-wai, said in his trademark high-pitched voice: "Actually, I am also a fan of Qiansheng, I have watched him play a lot of games and watched him grow step by step." As a Chinese, to be able to become the main force in a foreign giant's club, this is a precedent in the history of Chinese football, and the success of Qiansheng proves that we Chinese people can not only play well, but also play European football! ”
As he spoke, the excited Zeng Zhiwei clenched his fists and shouted at the camera.
Among the four beauties, they didn't talk much, and the other three beauties Xie Xiaoqian's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking. Wu You stared at No. 9 in white clothes, as long as someone spoke, Sun Jiayu would look at the person who spoke with a smile, and then looked at the screen with a surprised expression, as if he was surprised by everything in Qiansheng.
Zhang Yishan has an active personality, a little restrained at first, but after Qiansheng scored, he became active, and he cheered for them when they shot in England.
Fortunately, it couldn't get in the way of Martin Taylor's commentary.
Michael O'Neill was helpless, although he knew that the strength of the team was the weakest in the quarterfinals in the first half, but he would not be beaten into a sieve by the big brother of the British Isles at the beginning. Even the defending champion Germany scored the first goal in half an hour, is this England better than Germany?
Shaking his head, O'Neill felt ridiculous, how could it be, the overall strength of the German team is definitely above England, but why did England score two goals in 15 minutes? This is the first time that a team has done it since the start of the European Championship.
Suddenly, O'Neill looked at Qiansheng waiting for kick-off outside the middle circle, could it be because of him?
Qiansheng looked up at the screen on the court, turned back and gestured to Wayne Rooney, who was slightly stunned and nodded.
When Northern Ireland kicked off again, it was found that England were not pressing high as before, with Raheem Sterling and Jamie Waldy running down the wings respectively, while Qiansheng ran slowly around the centre circle and did not press forward.
O'Neal frowned, slowing down the pace after leading by two goals, after all, no one can press high for 90 minutes, which is a huge physical drain on the players. Therefore, it is normal for England to be in defensive form, after all, the opponent is a full two goals ahead.
But Northern Ireland is in a dilemma, if they don't attack, the game will be lost, and they will be bald. Push out and attack, just rely on the attack power of Northern Ireland, I am afraid that I will be robbed before I have even scored the opponent's penalty area.
This young England team is not weak in pressing, the two young main defenders Eric Dill and Deli Ali are not only extremely athletic, because they are both clubs, so the two are very tacit, plus the dry students who sweep around in the midfield, Northern Ireland simply can't beat it.
O'Neill couldn't make any adjustments right away, and the players on the pitch had already shown their determination with their actions: play out, you have to score.
Seeing the Northern Ireland attack, the corners of Qiansheng's mouth curled slightly, and he succeeded in luring the snake out of the hole, as long as his teammates were not careless and made low-level mistakes, he had many opportunities to counterattack.
In the 20th minute, Jamie Ward's dribbling on the right side was broken, Danny Rose grabbed the ball and passed diagonally to Rooney, the Three Lions captain returned the favor with a long pass behind the Northern Ireland defence, and the dry life started, the speed is not at all what Gareth Macaulay and Craig Cathcart can chase, let alone England's two fast horses on both sides.
As the youngest nation to compete at the tournament on average, England's young players all share one thing in common: good stamina, speed and athleticism.
Therefore, as long as there is space for them to rush up, this counterattack will be a hit and a fight, and the rest depends on whether the feet are accurate.
Qiansheng used his speed to get past Macaulay and Cathcart and catch up with Rooney's long pass, at this time, in front of him, there was a very open space, Qiansheng took the ball, a few steps to the edge of the big penalty area, Northern Ireland goalkeeper Michael McGovern had to attack, he didn't care about the same unguarded Sterling and Walty on both sides, this is simply a three-on-one death.
Whoever told Northern Ireland to press too far forward at the back, the two full-backs even rushed into the opposition half, leaving them with an open space behind them.
Seeing the opponent's goalkeeper attack, Qiansheng calmly and calmly raised his right foot to kick the ball, McGovern saw Qiansheng's body and shoulders, judged that he would push the near corner, and immediately fell to the ground and pounced to the left, but after Qiansheng's right foot landed, he turned the inside of his foot into a toe, and picked up the bottom of the ball, and the ball jumped high and crossed McGovern, and then fell into the goal behind him.
Kicking the ball out, only Qiansheng turned around and raised his arms high, as if he didn't need to look at it to know that the ball had scored.
Seeing Qiansheng's domineering movements, the Parc des Princes in Paris was boiling, and the English fans and members of the Qianjiu Club in the stands were even more excited to dance and shout, and some female fans were even more excited to cry.
In the 23rd minute, Qiansheng broke through the Northern Ireland defense in an offside position, went to the meeting alone, and scored a goal when the opponent's goalkeeper attacked, scoring twice in the knockout round of the European Championship for the first time and helping England lead Northern Ireland 3-0!
"Hahahaha......" Gary Lineker stroked his hands and laughed: "Okay, good, our No. 9 striker is finally serious, I'll just say, scoring goals is the striker's vocation, and if you score one more, you're 3 goals away!" ”
Alan Shearer was also excited, but not as crazy as Lineker, and he said happily: "Five goals in four games, better than I was 20 years ago. ”
At the 1996 European Championship held on English soil, Shearer, the No. 9 centre-forward who was the captain of the England team at the time, independently took on the team's goalscoring responsibilities. He scored five goals in five games to help the Three Lions make it all the way to the semi-finals. And he also beat the well-known strikers from all over the world with 5 goals and won the Golden Boot.
Four years later, at the European Championships, Shearer scored two more goals and finished second behind Michel Platini in the all-time scoring list with seven goals in nine games.
However, now he is third, second and second by Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored eight goals. However, Ronaldo's goal rate is not as good as that of Shearer, who is third.
For Qiansheng to score 5 goals less than his own, Shearer did not have any envy, jealousy and hatred, but was sincerely happy that his back could surpass him, after all, Qiansheng inherited his No. 9 mantle and led the national team to realize his championship dream.
"He's amazing." Sun Jiayu covered his mouth and shouted softly, Wu You beside him also nodded slightly, he didn't know the ball anymore, he watched a lot, and he could see the strength of this player.
Zhang Yishan and others were whispering on the side.
"He's from China, how can he be a player in the England national team?"
"It's Chinese, huh? No wonder. ”
"He's only 15 years old, huh? My mom, I'm younger than you post-90s. ”
"Nonsense, he is a post-00s, not a post-90s!"
"When the game is over, we will take a photo with him and get his autograph, you know, he is very popular in China, and it is said that there is a fan organization called Qianjiuhui because of him."
"Really? How many people are in this organization? ”
"I heard that there are more than 100,000 people, and they are all iron fans."
"Oh my mom, there are more fans than mine."
"You see, that grandstand is the organization called the Qianjiu Society."
……
No, we have to calm down the players, otherwise it's going to be a massacre, and we in Northern Ireland can't be the target of a massacre! O'Neill shouted and gestured on the sidelines, asking the players to play steadily, not to rush to attack, even if they attacked, the back line should not be pressed too forward, and pay attention to the front trident of England.
He didn't dare to call a special person to keep an eye on Qiansheng, just relying on these defensive players, unless it was a defender from Germany, Italy, and Spain, otherwise, a special person to keep an eye on Qiansheng was looking for abuse.
Unexpectedly, after the restart, England began to press forward again, and Northern Ireland was caught off guard.
Fortunately, Northern Ireland's three lines of defense were compact, which allowed England to grab the ball but could not find space to score in front.
In the 28th minute, Rose cut inside with the ball on the side, Hughes was unmoved, staring firmly at Sterling, Steven Davis blocked Rose's shooting route, Rose had to pass back to Qiansheng at the arc, Qiansheng transferred the ball to the right, Klein hit the right side with the ball, because Johnny Evans turned slowly, so Oliver Norwood came to help defend, Klein couldn't break through, so he passed to the receiving Walty, Walty was stared at by Corey Evans, and Cathcart blocked his forward route, Valti then passed back to Wayne Rooney, near the centre circle.
Wayne Rooney was bumped into by Kyle Lafferty as he dribbled and was awarded a set-piece.
O'Neal breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it wasn't Qiansheng who made the free throws, but after a while he knew that Bai was happy.
It seems that he found a feeling from the assist of Qiansheng's header in the last game, and the indirect free kick kicked by Rooney was headed in by Qiansheng.
Qiansheng, who jumped high on the left side of the penalty area, smashed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, and in the 35th minute, Qiansheng completed a hat trick, uh, it was a perfect hat trick, England was 4-0 ahead! (To be continued.) )
