(PS: The second update of the finished book)

Gary Cahill missed a penalty and he had to save a penalty in this round, otherwise his team-mates would be under a lot of pressure to take the penalty in the final round.

Run, shot, Romelu Lukaku's shot was not tricky, but it was very powerful, Joe Hart pounced in the right direction this time, and also touched the ball, but Lukaku's kick was too powerful, and after touching it, it still couldn't stop the ball from going into the net.

After the goal, Romelu Lukaku raised his arms to the sky and roared, the Belgian fans thundered with joy, and the Belgian players in the center circle jumped and shouted with excitement as if they had won.

Hart lay on the ground, pounding his fists on the ground, hating himself for not trying a little harder to get the ball out.

Roy Hodgson closed his eyes and England would end their European Championship campaign if Belgium scored a penalty in the fifth round.

Gary Neville gritted his teeth, looking very unwilling.

In the fourth round, 3-4, England fell behind for the first time and lost the lead.

The crucial fifth round came for England and it was Three Lions captain Wayne Rooney, who set the ball in a serious manner and fired a low ball into the bottom left-hand corner before Thibaut Courtois pounced on but could not reach it.

At 4-4, England temporarily equalized, but as soon as Belgium scored a penalty, the Three Lions would go home.

The penalty was taken by Belgian striker Axel Witsel, and if he scored this goal, Belgium would reach the semi-finals of the European Championship for the third time in 36 years.

In order to distract Witsel and put pressure on him to make a mistake, the England fans let out a deafening boo, but Witsel just glanced at the stands, smiled, and then started running.

Perhaps the boos at the moment were a motivator for him, Witsel deceived Hart with a push and drilled into the bottom left corner of the goal, after the goal, Witsel took off his shirt and yelled towards the stands in the Belgian fan area, and his teammates in the center circle yelled excitedly and chased after him.

4-5, Belgium hit all five penalties, and eliminated England with an aggregate score of 5-6 to advance to the semifinals. Their opponents in the semi-finals were Portugal, who reached the semi-finals after a regular time draw.

Watching the Belgian players celebrate their victory, the young Three Lions collapsed to the ground.

Harry Kane, Jamie Walty, Eric Deere...... Most of the Three Lions, who were playing international tournaments for the first time, wept bitterly, unable to accept the brutal result.

Cahill, who missed the penalty, crouched on the ground and covered his face, feeling that he was the sinner of the team's quality.

Rooney stood on the field with his waist crossed, his eyes glazed, a penalty, another penalty, and the European Cup four years ago was also a penalty shootout. The difference is that last time it was the quarterfinals, and the opponent was Portugal.

Penalty shoot-outs have become a nightmare for the Three Lions, with former Three Lions captain John Terry announcing his retirement from the national team after losing to Italy on penalties at Euro 2008.

Two years ago, they were eliminated from the group stage at the World Cup, with captains Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard both retiring from the national team.

It seems that every time the results of the tournament are not good, there will be a national team captain who withdraws. I don't know, will Rooney, who was hit by a penalty kick again this time, follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and withdraw from the national team?

Members of the coaching staff, including Roy Hodgson, as well as players on the bench, entered the pitch to comfort their grieving teammates.

What about dry life? It turned out that after exchanging shirts with Lukaku, he put Lukaku's shirt on his shoulder, and then walked on the sidelines, raising his arms and applauding to thank the fans on the field, whether it was England or Belgium.

The Belgian fans, who were celebrating happily because of Belgium's qualification, were stunned, they didn't expect that this young talent who had set records and performed well in this European Championship Golden Boot, chasing two goals in a row in this game and almost eliminating their team's enemies, would thank the fans after losing, including them.

"Pap, papa, papa......" With sporadic applause, all the fans in the stadium stood up, thunderous applause, accompanied by shouts.

"Although England was eliminated, he used his performance to conquer the Belgian fans." Martin Taylor said excitedly with tears in his eyes.

Gary Lineker said with emotion: "It's a shame that he didn't score another goal to dominate the all-time scorer list, but he is still young, four years later, not yet 20 years old, and at that time, he will set more records." ”

Alan Shearer said with emotion: "I think we will be looking forward to the World Cup in Russia in two years' time, but unfortunately, there is one record that may not be broken. ”

The youngest player to compete at the World Cup was Norman Whiteside of Northern Ireland, who was 17 years and 42 days old when he played against Yugoslavia at the 1982 World Cup.

The youngest player in the England squad to play at the World Cup is Theo Walcott, a former Arsenal team-mate who was named in the squad at 17 years and 90 days, but he did not play at the 2006 World Cup.

Therefore, what Qiansheng was able to create was to become England's youngest player to appear in the World Cup in Russia two years later.

Lineker pouted and said: "Roy is mainly responsible for this defeat, and the England national team must be re-selected, if it wants to achieve better results in the World Cup in two years." ”

Shearer suddenly said, "Gary, I want to introduce myself. ”

Lineker was stunned for a moment, looked at the serious Shearer, and smiled: "I think you are indeed a very suitable person, Alain." ”

Four or five years ago, Shearer offered himself to the FA to be England manager, but was rejected. Unconvinced, Shearer said: "You did hire experienced coaches and paid them a lot of money, but I don't think I could have done anything worse than them!" I can use my experience of playing football and my experience of tournaments to help the national team. ”

Taylor turned around and said: "Alain, don't worry, this time no matter what, we will support you, although there will be many strong contenders, but I always feel that the most suitable for England can only be you." ”

"My time is over, Gary." Hodgson sighed, he knew his fate, changed the formation on the spot, took the initiative to show weakness, the ability to adapt to the situation was insufficient, a good deck of cards made him play like this, he didn't get out of class, who got out of class?

Neville looked at this old man with a mixed reputation, bent on transforming England into a pass-and-control stream and creating a new tactic for Qiansheng, but there is only one Qiansheng, and if this new tactic is against a strong team, it will be greatly discounted, because England's strikers lack real killers.

The pot of losing, Hodgson has set his back, the European Championship is out, and there is a World Cup in two years, the FA will definitely finalize the new coach early, but who will take over this hot potato?

Goodbye, France.

Farewell, European Cup.

Before leaving the stadium, Qiansheng took a deep look at the sad England fans, next time, I must win the championship trophy for you! (To be continued.) )
