656 Desperate Survival, Shocking Reversal!
readx;
The first to rush over was Portugal's Junior Ronaldo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He didn't come over to pull Rooney away, nor to comfort Carvalho, but rushed directly to the referee and complained: "This is an extremely bad foul, he should be given a red card!" ”
Rooney, who was standing next to him, clearly heard Xiao Xiaoluo's words.
He couldn't have imagined that this club teammate, who had a very good relationship with him in private, often clubbed together, and picked up girls together, would actually play a role in himself at this time!
Rooney, who was upright, pushed Xiao Xiao Luo away angrily.
"What the do you mean?" Rooney glared at Rooney.
Xiao Xiaoluo ignored Rooney and continued to make a small report with the referee.
Rooney was about to continue to go up to theorize, but was stopped by Chen Xi: "Calm down, it's not good for us to quarrel at this time!" ”
After Rooney heard Chen Xi's words, he fell silent.
Chen Xi walked to the referee again and explained to the referee: "Mr. Referee! I'm sure Wayne was absolutely unintentional just now! You know, the physical contact between the two sides was a bit violent in the scramble just now, and Wayne just lost his center of gravity! ”
'He just did it on purpose, I know he just can't control his temper on the pitch. He must be taking revenge! Xiao Xiaoluo still didn't forget to fan the flames on the side at this time.
Not to mention Rooney, even Chen Xi couldn't stand it.
But he knew that he was the captain. At this point, he couldn't let the situation get any more chaotic.
After all, they're the lagging side right now!
So, instead of arguing with Xiao Xiaoluo, he was interceding with the referee.
Unfortunately, Argentine referee Elisson did not appreciate it, and after understanding the situation, he withdrew from the crowd and waved at Rooney at the same time.
Rooney had already calmed down at this time, and he honestly walked to the referee.
At this time, the eyes of the entire Ovschalke Stadium and even the world were focused on the Argentine referee Elisson.
Elisson put his hand in his jacket pocket, and eventually, he pulled out a ...... Red!
"Red card! The referee showed Rooney a red card! This is undoubtedly worse for the England team, which is already behind in the score! Now, the England team is in a desperate situation! Paul Mortenson said depressedly.
The England fans in the stands also erupted in earth-shattering boos again.
Obviously, they thought it was the Argentine referee who was targeting them.
Rooney's face is also full of incredulity, in his opinion, although he stepped on Carvalho just now, it was just an unconscious action on his part, and he shouldn't have a red card anyway!
At this time, his teammates also surrounded the referee again. It's just that Elisson is still sticking to his opinion!
In the end, Rooney could only walk out of the sideline with a curse.
When he walked into the players' tunnel, he angrily kicked off a bottle next to the tunnel!
Owen withdrew from the World Cup with a serious injury, David Beckham went off early with an injury and Wayne Rooney was sent off again. England are in an unprecedented predicament! Paul Mortenson said with concern in his tone.
On the sidelines!
Eriksen's face was dazed, because he didn't know what to do in the face of such a situation.
Beckham covered his face again, as if he had foreseen a defeat. And, in his opinion, it will most likely be the last World Cup of his career!
…… At this time, the camera of the TV broadcast screen was aimed at Chen Xi on the field.
The first time he served as the captain of England, Chen Xi encountered this kind of extremely tricky thing, which was obviously a huge test for him!
Chen Xi did feel a lot of pressure, but he was never a person who would bow to pressure!
After Rooney went off the field, he could only suppress the indomitability in his heart, and then clapped his hands at his teammates to encourage their morale: "That's the result, we can't make any changes. But the game isn't over yet, we still have a chance to turn the tide on the field! At this point, I can't give up without reason! Let's fight this game as if it were the last game!! ”
Chen Xi spoke with a lot of energy, and his voice reached the ears of every nearby teammate. And his bravery seems to have a magical power. After everyone listens to it, they all have a feeling of blood boiling!
Yes, that's the way it is, there's nothing we can do to change it. But there's still time to play, and we still have a chance!
Whether there is a next one or not is not certain, so let's fight!
That's pretty much what the England players are thinking!
…… After Rooney's departure, Eriksen did not make any personnel changes. At this moment, the formation of the England team has become 441, and Chen Xi has become a single arrow in the frontcourt.
However, Scolari saw the opportunity and made a personnel change.
He replaced veteran Figo with Simao.
Obviously, he wants to take advantage of England's lack of one man and try to seal the win.
Of course, this is just a substitution, and it doesn't mean that Scolari will change his counter-attacking tactics!
After the resumption of the game, although England had the heart to give it a go. However, Portugal's possession of the ball made it difficult for England to organise their attacks.
It was Portugal who created a couple of good chances.
Among them, in the 73rd minute, Simão once played a one-two with Pauletta in the penalty area.
However, just as Simão was about to shoot, Terry slapped his horse and a flying tackle broke the ball off the line.
After that, Maniche was also very dangerous with a long-range shot from outside the box.
It's just that the 1-0 score on the field has not been rewritten. It also proves that England's hopes of equalising or even overtaking have not been dashed.
After withstanding a wave of offensive from the Portuguese team, the England team's counterattack has finally arrived!
In the seventy-seventh minute, after Chen Xi pulled the ball outside the penalty area, he directly came to a powerful volley that turned around.
The ball flew straight into the bottom left corner of the goal, but Ricardo was quick to react and save the ball with a side pun!
After the ball was saved, a white figure appeared on the path of the ball!
"Edison shoots...... Wow, Saved by Ricardo! The attack wasn't over yet, with Walcott making a stoppage...... Oops, the ball was so powerful that he was almost sent straight into Ricardo's arms! In the end, I'm still too young, and I'm not calm enough when I come to the door! Paul Mortenson said with regret.
The English fans in the stands who were originally excited to stand up also sat back in their positions one by one.
Walcott was even more sorry for missing a great chance to score!
Because he missed a great opportunity to become famous with one goal!
Also missed the opportunity to score a goal worth a thousand dollars!
He came off the bench to provide two assists in the last game, and this time he came off the bench to help the team equalise with one man less. He is definitely going to be like Owen in the 98 World Cup, and become a popular fried chicken!
…… Walket missed the opportunity, Chen Xi, as the captain on the field, did not blame Walcott, but clapped his hands to cheer for Walcott: "It's okay, there will be a chance, don't worry!" ”
Chen Xi's simple words made Walcott feel encouraged, and the guilt of missing the opportunity just now was a little duller, and it was transformed into a determination to continue to work hard and strive for meritorious service!
Two minutes later, England were back in action.
Chen Xi once again received a pass from his teammates at the edge of the penalty area!
This time, he took the ball and turned around, but in fact he cleverly knocked the ball into the box with his back heel!
Such a pass was very discreet, and the Portuguese backline was unable to react in time.
Frank Lampard, who was plugged in behind, also appeared ghostly in the path of the ball!
However, Lampard's moment of receiving the ball was just a bit wider.
Ricardo saw the opportunity and struck decisively, keeping his body in front of Frank Lampard.
Looking at the sudden Ricardo, Lampard had no time to make adjustments and came straight to the stab.
It's a pity that Ricardo has almost blocked the gap of his shot, and his hasty stab shot was also blocked by Ricardo with his body!
"Wow~~~~ What a pity! It was a one-on-one chance, as Frank Lampard failed to handle the ball with the first stop, and laid the groundwork for the subsequent shot being blocked! Paul Mortenson's voice of regret rang out again!
The England fans in the stands let out another sigh of regret.
On the sidelines!
Eriksen, who had just risen from the dugout, sat back in frustration.
On the field!
Frank Lampard hugged his head in disbelief as if he didn't believe he would miss such an opportunity!
However, after being depressed, he didn't forget to give Chen Xi a thumbs up, and then ran towards the backcourt. Now that the England team has one less person to fight, an iron man like him naturally has to be used as two people!
…… As the time entered the last ten minutes, Scolari, who was frightened by several consecutive attacks by the England team just now, simply gave up the idea of chasing after the victory. Instead, he walked to the sidelines and signaled the players to shrink their lineup and try to keep the score 1-0 until the end!
After receiving Scolari's instructions, the Portuguese team even the two wingers of Ronaldo and Simão began to return to the midfield to participate in the defense!
Faced with this situation, Eriksen also walked to the sidelines, waved his big hand, and signaled the players to attack with all their might!
While England's attack is united, Portugal's defence is also fully engaged.
All of a sudden, England struggled to find any good attacking opportunities.
Because the Portuguese team's penalty area can be said to be three layers inside and three layers outside, and the package is very tight.
As a center forward, Chen Xi also struggled to get support from his teammates in the penalty area, because there were two or three people around him at any time to flank him, and he could only retreat to look for opportunities.
In the 87th minute of the game, Walcott was seen taking the ball on the right side but could not form a breakthrough.
Chen Xi also pulled out of the penalty area again and came to the corner of the penalty area on the right!
Walcott, who was difficult to form a breakthrough, saw Chen Xi take the initiative to come over to receive the ball, and he also passed the ball sideways without hesitation!
In the face of Walcott's pass, Chen Xi directly picked up his right leg!
Seeing this situation, the defenders of the Portuguese team near Chen Xi surrounded him one after another.
Carvalho and Maniche in front of him rushed towards Chen Xi left and right, ready to block his shot!
In this way, if Chen Xi blindly shoots vigorously, the ball will be blocked by Maniche or Carvalho with his body.
However, Chen Xi's right foot did not let go, but continued to kick towards the ball.
However, when he was about to hit the ball with his right foot, he suddenly turned into a pump. I saw that the inside of his foot was rubbed heavily on the bottom half of the ball!
The ball obediently flew high, just past Carvalho and Maniche, who had blocked them, and flew over their heads!
"Edison didn't shoot straight at goal, he chose to cross...... However, there doesn't seem to be any outflanking players in front of the goal! After Paul Mortensen saw Chen Xi's movements, he analyzed.
However, he soon discovered that the trajectory of the ball was not flying in front of goal, but straight into the far corner of the goal!
"No, it's still a shot! But Edison chose a sling! Ricciardo was a bit up front...... "Paul Mortenson corrected his misstatement in time.
At this time, England fans in the stands. The attention of Eriksen and the England substitutes on the sidelines was focused on the rapidly spinning ball in the air!
The ball flew over the heads of Carvalho and Maniche into the box, and then with a strong spin, it began to fall towards the back post!
Ricciardo, who was a little far forward, had already given up resistance in the face of the ball with a high trajectory, he just raised his head and watched the ball go over his head and then fell headlong into the goal behind him!
All of a sudden, the entire Ovschalke stadium fell into an eerie silence!
Half a second later, there was a "boom", and the Ovschalke stadium was boiling!
“unbelievable!!! what~a~fantastic~gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!! Edison! Edison! Edison ~~~~~~~~~~~ Chen !! When England couldn't attack for a long time and the game was about to end. Their 'young captain' Edison stepped up again! In the case of multiple people, he still completed an incredible hanging door! I can't imagine what kind of heart he has. At such an important moment, he can still maintain such calm! What a horrible young man! There is no doubt that Edison saved England once again! He saved England from the brink of defeat! Paul Mortensen was the first to react, and his roar was heard on the TV to the ears of the England fans who couldn't make it!
The stands of Aufschalk Stadium were also completely ignited by Chen Xi's goal!
A large area of beating white is like a pot of boiling hot water, and it looks very lively!
On the sidelines!
Eriksson, who was already ready to use up the last two substitutions in one go, was very surprised!
He excitedly impulsed near the sideline, waving his hands wildly, even more excited than Chen Xi who scored the goal!
Sitting on the sidelines of the pitch, Beckham, who looked desperate, also rushed to the sidelines excitedly despite his injured leg, applauding Chen Xi's goal!
On the field!
After the goal, Chen Xi rushed to the side of the stadium excitedly, under the stands of England fans!
On the way to run, he didn't forget to kiss the captain's armband on his left arm affectionately!
Yes, it was this little armband that gave him infinite strength when the team was in a desperate situation!
In the past, although Chen Xi saved England again and again, he helped England win again and again. But he never presented himself as a savior!
But this time it was different, as Beckham handed him the captain's armband before he left the pitch.
After that, Rooney was also sent off.
In a desperate situation, Chen Xi, as the captain on the field, is also extremely eager to become the savior of the team.
One is to fulfill the promise to Beckham, and the other is to not disappoint the lovely fans in the stands!
Chen Xi's celebration once again ignited the enthusiasm of the English fans in the stands.
"Captain Edison! Captain Edison! Captain Edison! ”
…… England fans cheered for Chen Xi neatly, for this captain who was only twenty-two years old, they didn't know how, they were full of confidence!
In the England team's dressing room, Rooney, who was sent off, was also watching the game on TV!
When he saw Chen Xi's goal, he excitedly slammed the sports drink in his hand on the ground.
In his opinion, Chen Xi's goal gave him a good breath of air. At the same time, it is very likely that he will avoid becoming a sinner like Beckham in the 98 World Cup!
Therefore, he expressed his gratitude to Chen Xi from the bottom of his heart.
…… In a private hospital in England, Owen, who is recuperating from his injury in his hospital bed, is also closely watching the game on the TV!
Although, in a way, if England were eliminated due to his absence, it might be a better indication of his role in the team.
But Owen would rather his role not be represented, and he would rather see England lift the Hercules Cup!
After all, although he will not be able to participate in the next competition, he is still a member of the national team. If the team can win the championship, he will also be a member of the World Cup winner!
Owen is no longer the young golden boy, he doesn't have much time to wait for the quadrennial World Cup, and he has begun to desire the World Cup to the extreme like some veterans!
Finally, after seeing Chen Xi score the equalizing goal, he jumped up from the bed excitedly.
However, a pain in his feet reminded him that he was now a wounded man and should not be so excited!
…… While the English were celebrating wildly, the Portuguese were silent.
Originally, they had already celebrated their elimination of England in advance, and reached the last four of the World Cup again after 40 years.
However, Chen Xi's seemingly understated hanging shot ended their celebration. And became the frustrated party!
In fact, this is also the charm of football.
A lot of times, you can be the leader one second ago, but after a second, you can lose the lead. Even, it was reversed by the other party!
Portugal have yet to be reversed by England. But when the game was about to end, they were tied and the blow was no less than being sent off!
After returning to his position surrounded by his teammates, the referee on duty, Alisson, blew the whistle for the game to continue.
At this time, the game was about to enter stoppage time.
With one man to play, England, who had just equalised, were not satisfied with a draw and were chasing after the victory.
Because they know very well that with one less man, it will be more difficult for them to drag the game into extra time. Therefore, the best-case scenario is that they can beat Portugal in 90 minutes!
It's a pity that at this time, the Portuguese team did not have a disunity of thought because of the sudden equalization. They are still fighting back defensively.
Obviously, they are not afraid of overtime with one more person!
In this way, when Argentina coach Elisson blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was still 1-1!
"England and Portugal were tied in 90 minutes, so they were going to go to extra time! If extra-time is no longer decided, a brutal penalty shootout will be needed to decide the winner between the two teams! Paul Mortenson analyzed.
After hearing Paul Mortenson's words, there must have been countless England fans in front of the TV who scolded him for a crow's mouth!
It's no secret that England have been one of the teams with the most injuries in penalty shoot-outs at the World Series!
Whether it's a player or a fan, the thought of a penalty shootout makes them lose their courage in an instant.
Therefore, even if it is just to hear Paul Mortensen mention such a "penalty shootout", many England fans are a little weak.
…… On the pitch, the two sides who had just finished 90 minutes of high-intensity play did not return to the locker room at all, but went directly to the bench, rested on the spot, and listened to Eriksen's tactical arrangement.
At this time, the staff and substitutes of the England team were busy "serving tea and water" or massaging and relaxing for the only ten remaining players on the field of the England team.
Beckham, who was injured, still limped to Chen Xi's side with a sports drink.
"You didn't disappoint me, I'm sure you'll help the team win in extra time!" After Beckham handed the drink to Chen Xi, he began to help Chen Xi massage his legs.
This kind of "intimate contact" between the two heartthrobs in England really made the rotten female fans in front of the TV and at the scene drool!
"Well, I'll fight until the last minute! If I don't win this game, I'll be ashamed of the captain's armband you gave me! Chen Xi said with a serious face.
"Nope! You've done a great job! In fact, you have proved with your actions that you can be the absolute core and spiritual leader of this team! You're better than I can do that! Beckham complimented with a smile on his face and a marked surname.
"Haha! Either way, you're our captain! I'm waiting for you to win the Hercules Cup on behalf of the team! "No one doesn't like to listen to praise, and Chen Xi is not exempt from vulgarity.
Hearing Chen Xi's confident words, Beckham felt a little more confident in his heart.
He suddenly felt that handing over the captain's armband to Chen Xi before leaving the field was simply a wise decision!
...... "Run more, I know you've all been fighting for 90 minutes and you're tired." But we have one less person, so we can only make up for it by running more! If anyone can't keep up the game, just tell me and I'll let you down and rest! ”
...... "In extra time, we have to take advantage of the advantage of having a lot of people and try to settle the battle in those 30 minutes. Although the English had bad luck with the penalty. But I don't want to drag the game into a penalty shoot-out unless I have to. After all, there's no guarantee that England's luck has always been so bad! And, going to the penalty shoot-out, we will no longer have the advantage of one more man......"
...... "Defend!" In extra time, we should defend first, and then think about how to counterattack! I don't want to take a penalty, but I also don't want to be forced to equalise at the last minute and get knocked out in extra-time! ”
...... "Pass the ball more, take advantage of the number of people, use the pass to open the gap, look for opportunities......"
…… Before extra-time began, the managers of both teams kept their voices down and laid out tactics for the players around them.
Finally, at the urging of referee Elisson, overtime was about to begin.
Under the leadership of Chen Xi, the players of the England team returned to their respective positions one by one with full of fighting spirit.
Although they have one less, they will not be less determined to win this game than the Portuguese team!
At the start of extra time, Portugal used up their second substitution.
Scolari replaces Pauletta with Postiga. He's clearly looking to keep the energy alive in the attacking end!
At the start of extra time, both sides appeared to be a little cautious.
As the minutes ticked by, there were no threatening opportunities on the field.
It wasn't until halfway through the first half of extra-time that Portugal played a brilliant counter-attack.
Simão took the ball on the right and played a one-two with Maniche in the middle, he sprinted at full speed and then crossed the ball to the back post!
Xiao Xiao Luo at the back post did not head the goal himself, but swung the ball back to the middle!
It's a pity that Postiga headed the ball high under Terry's interference.
After that, England also played a good counter-attack.
Gerrard on the left received a long pass from Hargreaves and drove the ball forward.
In the face of Miguel's defense, Gerrard pretended to go down, but in fact pulled the ball back, and then got up with his right foot and sent the ball into the penalty area!
Chen Xi pinched Carvalho and Mela in the penalty area, but still completed the header goal. Unfortunately, his header couldn't get out of the way and was slotted into Ricardo's arms.
Before the end of the first half of extra time, Xiao Xiaoluo switched to the right side, and after he took the ball and shook it continuously, he suddenly cut inside, and then used his left foot to volley vigorously!
The ball was extremely fast, but the left foot was not his usual foot after all. He only cared about his strength, but he couldn't hold the ball, and finally the ball went over the crossbar!
With Ronaldo's shot high on goal, the first half's extra time was over. The score is still 1-1!
There was no break between the two sides in midfield, but referee Elisson gave the players time to rehydrate in a very personal way.
After the two sides rehydrated and then exchanged venues, the game continued!
At this time, Scolari also played the last card. He replaced Petit with playmaker Viana.
After Rui Costa retired, the Portuguese team's No. 10 shirt was not handed over to the team's midfield core Deco, but to Viana, which shows that Scolari and Portugal are optimistic about him.
It's just that Viana's club career has not been brilliant. Although he joined Newcastle at a high price as early as the age of nineteen. But in the Premier League, he has not been able to find his place.
Last season, he joined Valencia, the Bat Army. But it still hasn't been reused by the manager.
In this game, with Deco suspended, he still did not start, and he was not replaced until this time, he naturally held his breath in his heart, hoping to prove himself!
In front of the other coach's post, Eriksen was very calm, and apart from Beckham's passive substitution when he came off injured, the Swedish coach still did not make any personnel changes.
After the start of the second half of extra-time, Viana scored a long-range shot in Portugal's first attack.
His long-range shot also forced James into a good save.
Three minutes later, the England captain launched a counter-attack.
The ball found Chen Xi who was pulled to the right of the penalty area, Chen Xi did not stop the ball in the face of the ball, but used his head to make the ball back to Walcott, who was inserted later!
After the little tiger got the ball, he accelerated directly towards the penalty area, and he passed Thiago alone.
When he caught up with the ball again and was about to pass Carvalho, he was hit by Carvalho with his body.
There was an immediate boo from the English fans in the stands, who apparently thought it should be a penalty.
Chen Xi nearby also put pressure on referee Elisson.
However, Elisson may not have dared to award a penalty that would have decided the outcome of the game at this point, and he signaled for the game to continue!
Naturally, this move once again attracted dissatisfied boos from English fans!
Moreover, the Portuguese team, like their previous goal, also took advantage of the English to launch a counterattack when they were theorizing with the referee.
Fortunately, the defenders in England's midfield were very focused.
In the end, Hargreaves took advantage of one of his predictions and cut off Viana's through ball.
After the break, Hargreaves tucked the ball straight into the front court.
Chen Xi, who had just retreated, received the ball and turned around in one go, and then accelerated towards the Portuguese team's goal.
At this time, Portugal had two central defenders and a left-back Valente at the back.
On the England side, it was Chen Xi and Walcott on the right side who participated in the counterattack.
Walcoat inserted a defensive player for Chen Xi at high speed on the right side, but even so, Chen Xi still needs to rely on his own strength to face the Portuguese team's central defender combination!
Although they have the advantage in numbers, Carvalho and Mela do not dare to blindly grab it.
Especially Carvalho, as a teammate of Chen Xi's club, he knows that Chen Xi's breakthrough is powerful!
Therefore, Carvalho and Mela both kept a safe distance from Chen Xi and slowly retreated.
Unconsciously, Chen Xi had already taken the ball to the 35-meter area in front of the Portuguese team's penalty area. He first turned his head to look at Walcoat on the right.
When he looked sideways at Walcott, his right foot was directly picked up!
What a move!
Carvalho and Mela obviously didn't expect Chen Xi to do this, but it was too late when they went forward to block Chen Xi's shot.
When shooting, Chen Xi did not look at the goal. But his excellent shooting feel allowed him to finish a very high quality shot!
The ball had a strong spin that passed through the gap between Carvalho and Mela and then hit the top right corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Ricardo was obviously also fooled by Chen Xi's previous head-turning action.
Therefore, when he found out that Chen Xi was shooting, the ball was already flashing with a white light and flying towards the goal!
Ricardo made a flying gesture in a hurry, but before he could fully stretch his body in the air, the ball had already smashed into the net behind him!
“goooooooooooooal~goal~goal~goal~goal~~~~~goooooooooooooal!!! Edison! Edison! Edison! Edison! Love! Advance! Bear! Almost halfway through the second half of extra time, Edison seized a counter-attacking opportunity and broke through the door of Portugal again with a world wave to help England complete the comeback! This goal reminds me of the Euro 20000 Championship, when Figo scored a stunning long-range strike against England! This time, Edison's shot was farther away than Figo at the time! The power and angle are just as perfect! Six years ago, Figo kicked off Portugal's crazy comeback with such a long-range shot. Six years later, Edison completed the reversal against Portugal in the same way! Could it be that this is the legendary reincarnation? Captain David Beckham was lost early, and then Wayne Rooney was sent off again, and the England team, which had one less player, actually completed the reversal in an extremely difficult desperate situation! There is no doubt that Edison, who scored twice, was the biggest hero, he was the savior of the English people!! In addition, Edison's goals in this World Cup have reached 13 goals, and he has already equaled the record of French legendary goalscorer Fontaine for many years in a single World Cup match! If England progresses, he will clearly have a good chance of breaking that record!! Paul Mortenson crackled with excitement, as if he were reading rap!
The English fans in the stands also broke out into a tsunami of cheers for the first time!
At the same time, the Portuguese fans' phalanx fell into a dead silence!
On the sidelines!
Erikson excitedly gave his assistant McLaren a big hug. Then he kept waving his hands into fists!
Beckham also rushed to the sidelines with his injured leg again excitedly, celebrating to the fullest!
In the locker room!
After Rooney saw the goal, he also broke out into a rough cheer, and then excitedly hugged the TV in front of him and kissed Chen Xi in the TV picture fiercely!
In a private hospital in Liverpool!
There was another pain in Owen's injured leg as the guy jumped out of bed in excitement!
On the field!
Chen Xi was also very excited after the goal!
He rushed directly out of the comfort of the billboard, rushed to the stands where the England fans were, waved his hands wildly, and constantly fanned the atmosphere on the field!
For the move of this "young captain", the English fans in the stands are very face-saving. Their cheers were as if they were about to tear down the self-retractable roof of the Otscharke Stadium!
Soon, Chen Xi's teammates surrounded him one by one. Then, Chen Xi was very pitifully pressed under his teammates and became a tragic figure at the bottom of the "human pyramid"!
…… At this time, the Portuguese team's bench is a backwater.
When Figo, who has been replaced, saw this goal, it was as if he was dreaming back to six years ago.
After waking up from the dream, he suddenly realized that his last World Cup journey may have come to an end.
Looking at Chen Xi who was celebrating wildly on the field, Figo couldn't help but show a trace of envy.
As a world-class superstar, Figo has won various honors from the club and also won the World Footballer of the Year. But the national team's game is an eternal pain in his heart.
And this young man, the club honor has been soft, and the personal honor is even more beautiful than himself. In the national team, he has won the European Cup and the Confederations Cup.
Now, his team is about to be eliminated by this young man again. He really didn't know whether to hold a grudge against this opponent or bless his teammates at this club!
…… After the game restarted, Scolari waved his hand and signaled his players to attack with all their might.
Eriksen, on the other hand, did not hesitate to use up the last two substitutions in one go.
Two defenders in midfield, Carrick and Jenas, were replaced, and even Theo Walcott, who only came on in the second half, was replaced early. Only Chen Xi was in front alone.
In the final minutes of extra-time, England's eight-man defence stubbornly withstood Portugal's desperate counter-attack.
The moment Argentina coach Elisson blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Ovschalke Stadium became a sea of celebration for the English!
However, at this time, the TV camera captured a lonely figure on the Portuguese bench.
This person is Figo, who is about to turn 34 after the elimination of the Portuguese team, and it is time for him to say goodbye to the World Cup.
Even if it is very reluctant, even if it is unwilling, but ...... It's still time to say goodbye!
At this time, Chen Xi did not go to celebrate, but walked up to the big brother, gave him a hug, and then exchanged his jersey for Figo's last World Cup jersey!
"Come on! Go win the World Cup back! After hugging Chen Xi, Figo blessed.
"Hmmm! Yes! Even you've made it through, and I don't think anyone will be able to stop us anymore! Chen Xi said confidently. There was no trace of praise in his words, and Figo was praised.
"Well, wait for your good news!" After Figo shook hands with Chen Xi again, his expression returned to loneliness. I started to say "goodbye" to the fans......
(To be continued)
