Chapter 211: Transferred to Wroclaw
In the 86th minute of the game, Wang Li made a surprise pick-up to the top, allowing Hans. All of Crankel's expectations came to naught, and the Austrian team's desire to pursue victory was also directly scored into the abyss by this goal, and there was no possibility of recovery.
Even with stoppage time, there were only a few minutes left in the game, and there was only a silver lining for Austria to equalize. Crankel immediately reacted to the fourth official, telling England not to deliberately waste game time.
In fact, it is precisely like this, these stars on the field of the England team are deliberately wasting time, and one minute less game means the closer the victory, so at this time, they are recklessly stacking arhats, hugging each other, yelling, as if the game is over, and there is no desire to return to the game at all.
However, in the face of the Austrian coach's complaints, the manager could not ignore them, and he immediately ran to the place where the players were celebrating, signaling that the game was about to restart. In this way, there was no reason for the England players to continue, so they slowly walked back to their positions and prepared to kick off again.
When the game restarted, it was already the 88th minute of the game, and after the kick-off, the Austrian team pressed all the lines and attacked aggressively, wanting to use a wave of rapid offensive to fight. At this time, the England team retreated almost completely, and everyone in the stadium understood that victory and defeat depended on this wave of attack.
After retreating, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Owen and Wang Li formed a line on the line of the penalty area, which was very powerful. The Austrian team's attack was difficult to penetrate directly, and several short passes in a row almost lost the ball, and finally it was the return pass to re-stabilize the formation that made Crankel on the sidelines feel a little relieved.
But at this time, time is running out, and the Austrian team can only choose to force it forward to try to find a scoring opportunity.
At this time, the fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign to signal 3 minutes of stoppage time, it seems that the referee wants to make up for the time when both sides celebrate the goal, but on the football field, 3 minutes may only have a stable wave of attacking time.
As a last resort, Austrian winger Rene. Offhauser, with a high kick, hoisted the football into the penalty area, Terry stood out in the penalty area and viciously pushed the ball out of the penalty line, but the crisis was not resolved, and the football bounced to striker Rodland, who came on as a substitute in the second half and scored a goal. At Coleman's feet, Wang Li was on his side at this time, but after Coleman got the ball, he still chose to disguise, turn, and volley, in his opinion, this black-haired boy is a strong shooter, but the defensive ability is worse.
However, Rodland. Coleman's idea is absolutely wrong, which shows that he doesn't know Wang Li at all, just when he just took a step forward, before he had time to disguise, he saw the right leg of the black-haired boy next to him suddenly appeared next to the ball, hooked the ball away, and Coleman, who was about to continue to go forward, stepped on the air and fell directly on the grass.
At this time, Coleman was no longer important, and after Wang Li got the ball, he didn't think about it at all, so he drove to the front court with a big foot. There isn't much time left in the game now, and after the kick-off, the referee will probably blow the whistle for the end of the game.
However, this is not the case, there are still people up front for England, and Wayne Rooney is near the halfway line!
Seeing Wang Li's long pass, the little fat man felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for for 90 minutes had finally come, and due to Austria's massive attack, there was no one to defend around him. In the front, Rooney chased the ball directly, and after catching up with the ball, in the face of the goalkeeper who hit the penalty area, he directly shot a long-distance shot of more than 30 meters, which was the icing on the cake for the England team!
A whistle sounded "beep ......", announcing that the goal was valid!
"Beep...", "Beep...", "Beep............" three whistles sounded, announcing the end of the whole game!!
The England team that won the victory, the players were very happy, they stood under the England team fan stands with great interest, lined up, bowed neatly to the fans, and then cheered uncontrollably, and after a while, they walked towards the players' tunnel with a smile and a smile, and were ready to return to the dressing room.
Wang Li is of course also very happy, he has almost been smooth sailing in the national team, so far, he has participated in a total of 5 important games, one start, 4 substitutes, and scored in every game, which can be said to be the world's top.
'Next game, probably the Swede will start me. Wang Li secretly thought that whether it was his personal popularity, his performance, or the media and fans, in all aspects, there was no reason for Eriksen to sit on the bench in the next game.
Thinking of this, Wang Li was a little happy, no matter what, he was 'boiling' in the national team, and he no longer had to spend a meaningless time on the bench.
Thinking of the World Cup in Germany two years later, Wang Li is a little enthusiastic, only the World Cup, the world's highest level of football competition, is the highest dream pursued by a professional player. If you can lead LinkedIn Gran to win the world championship and lift the Hercules Cup in front of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, it will be the pinnacle of professional football, think about that moment, Wang Li is a little excited, and now although he is only participating in the qualifiers of the World Cup, this is also an effort to embark on that journey!
However, those are just fantasies in the head, and for now, it is all about trying to play every game, and if you can't even pass the group stage, it makes no sense to fantasize about them.
Wang Li unconsciously walked to the door of the locker room in this kind of thinking activity, and his teammates in the room were already holding up champagne to celebrate. The best player of the match was eventually won by Frank. Frank Lampard won, this is also Wang Li's evaluation in his heart, whether in attack or defense, this Chelsea team-mate, have performed remarkably, it can really be said that there is no Frank. Frank Lampard, without this victory.
Speaking at his press conference after the game, Eriksen took Wang Li and Frank Lampard to the press conference, and in front of a host of national and international media, the Swede had a good chance of commenting on the game: "We played well in the first half, and I was happy with the goals from Frank and Steven who gave us the lead. But at the start of the second half, maybe it was the two-goal lead that made the players a little bit loose and they were uncomfortable with that kind of performance, but at the end of the game they got back into their form and I hope they can keep playing so well and not play on and off, which is really scary. ”
Eriksen took a sip of the mineral water on the table and continued: "After the score was tied I realised I had to make a change, so I switched to Allen and it turned out that I succeeded, Allen lived up to my trust, he put the team ahead again, he was brilliant. ”
At this time, the reporter of "The Sun" asked with some doubts: "So, Mr. Eriksen, since Allen is so good in your heart, why don't you let him start?" ”
Eriksen smiled, "It's normal, anyway, Allen is only 17 and a half years old, this kind of young player is not consistent, but as long as he performs well in the team, I will give him a chance to play, in fact, almost every game, I will let him play." ”
Although the Swede's words sounded very reasonable, Wang Li, who was sitting on the side, frowned, it was obvious that the head coach's statement did not determine his main position in the future, but he was not allowed to think about it more, and a Guardian reporter had already begun to ask him questions: "Alan, congratulations on your excellent performance in this game." Excuse me, what is your position in the England team? When do you think you'll get a regular spot in the team? ”
Wang Li lowered his head and thought about it, and then said confidently: "First of all, I think I have always been in good shape, whether it is for club or country, I have scored in almost every game, which says it all. As for England, I think I'm good enough to play in the main position and I'm going to try to play every game whenever I get the chance. ”
At this time, an Austrian female reporter heard this confident answer and asked with great interest: "So, what gives you this confidence?" You have to know that the England team is full of stars, and almost everyone is an absolute mainstay in the top flight. ”
"Goal! Goals, of course! My strength is in my efficiency and as a striker I think the goals speak for themselves. ”
'Allen, as you know, when you were at Wolverhampton, you played right winger and striker, in Chelsea, the Portuguese played right midfield in the first few rounds, and in the national team, the captain David . David Beckham is an absolute mainstay in the England team, and his position is right winger, so what position do you think you are best at? ”
Wang Li thought for a moment, "It should be a shadow striker, I think when I played this position in Wolverhampton before, it felt good, you know I am not suitable for the center forward position." He turned his head to look at Frank Lampard, as if to indicate that his size was not suitable for too many confrontations, "and now in the Chelsea team, the right midfield position is good, but it doesn't feel as good as the wingers who are a little bit deeper. ”
"So, that is, if you're in the starting lineup, the ideal position is a shadow striker, oh my gosh, that's the golden boy Michael. Owen's location! The Austrian female reporter said, deliberately muttering, as if she had heard something frightening.
'A lot of people know that I have a good relationship with Michael in private, even if there is competition on the pitch, I believe there is no conflict between us, and besides, I think I can play well in every position, and my Chelsea team-mate Thomas even suggested that I go as a goalkeeper. As he spoke, Wang Li pursed his lips and chuckled: "But I don't want to grab my friend's position, you know, he is still a substitute, and it's not good to squeeze him into the reserves." ”
Wang Li's answer made the reporters in the audience laugh out loud, they all felt that this young black-haired boy had a sense of humor in addition to being 'arrogant', which made most people have some good feelings about Wang Li who talked eloquently on stage.
After Wang Li and Lampard answered a few more nonsensical questions, the press conference ended, although Wang Li was in a good mood at this press conference, but Eriksen's words before still made him feel a little guilty.
In any case, whether in the national team or in the Premier League, Wang Li's performance is very good, and it can even be said that it is perfect, and under this kind of performance, he should naturally get the main position.
When Wang Li first joined the England team, head coach Eriksen himself said: "There is no absolute main force in the team, whoever performs well can play in the game, I hope that in this kind of competition, everyone can work harder, make the team's results better, and repay the fans who support the England team." ”
And now, Wang Li's performance is very good, but the starting position has been uncertain, which makes him feel a little bored, this boredom is shown from his facial expression after returning to the hotel, since his Xiao Wuxianggong breakthrough, Wang Li has rarely controlled his external performance, so the expression on his face almost explains his mentality.
If you want to be free, you have to put aside hypocrisy, and this is only the first step.
Luckily, Wang Li's relationship in the England team is not bad, and seeing his performance, many people came up to ask what was going on, and this concern made Wang Li's mood better - 'Now is not the time to think so much, or, in the heart of that Swede, I am already the absolute main force?' ’
Perhaps, this kind of thinking is not wrong, but who can know what Erikson thinks?
……………
After the game, the England players went straight back to the hotel, and then manager Eriksen announced that the team was disbanded on a free basis, giving the players a day to explore the beautiful city of Vienna, and it would be a shame not to visit everywhere.
The next day, Wang Li, Bridge, Qiao. The three of them got together again, and they hired a local guide to visit the Cathedral of St. Stefan, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Chocolate Museum, the Royal Spanish Equestrian Academy, and many other world-famous attractions. Cole said with a smile: "With this 'one day tour', even if I didn't participate in the competition, it was not in vain. ”
Obviously, and Joe. There are many players who also have the spirit of 'Ah Q', you know, Eriksen has 31 names on the squad, and in fact, except for Bart who did not come to the game due to a foot injury, everyone else came to Vienna, but in fact there were only 13 players on the field.
Perhaps, most of the media will complain about Erikson's 'extravagance and waste' again.
On 6 September, England flew straight to Wroclaw, Poland's fourth-largest city, to prepare for their next match against Poland.
