Chapter 315: Two Fatal "Performances"
When referee Sendriz stepped into the penalty area, the deafening noise of the new Tivoli stadium gradually subsided, and the more than 30,000 fans who had just been furious like King Kong instantly turned into the most devout believers, clasped their hands together and prayed...... Fifteen thousand people prayed they would get a penalty!
Fifteen thousand people prayed that it would not be a penalty!
The air must be frozen nervously!
β¦β¦ Sidelines.
Li Bing, who was brought to the England team's command seat by Li Tongfan as a team staff member, also beat violently at this moment.
As a Chinese, he will certainly stand firmly on the side of his little idol and fellow compatriot Lunatic Li.
By the way, Aiwu and Wu have also become staunch supporters of the England team.
As a seasoned professional football coach, Li Bing knew very well that if he was sentenced to death less than three minutes before the start of the game, all the tactical arrangements he had worked so hard to prepare before the game would be a dead letter.
It's going to be a huge hit!
After the penalty, everything has to start all over again!
And with the quality of the two teams not very different, this situation is almost impossible for the Three Lions to bear.
However...... When Li Bing set his eyes on the man who had been standing quietly on the sidelines not far away from the beginning of the game, he was surprised to find that Li Tongfan, who should have been the most nervous person in the world, actually drew a trace of arc at the corner of his mouth...... He's laughing?
He's actually laughing?
Why?
Isn't he afraid that the referee will actually award a penalty? Still is...... Li Bing quickly found the answer, because on the field, the Swiss referee Sendriz, who was suffering from the invisible eyes of fans all over the world, finally made the final judgment and pointed his finger at the small penalty area...... Penalty kick?
Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted in the camp of Spanish fans in the stands...... Soon, though, the cheers turned into exclamations and boasts!
In stark contrast, the England fan camp, which had just fallen into the abyss of hell, fell into a frenzy!
Because, not a penalty!
The referee's finger did point to the small penalty area, but it was not a penalty spot, but a goal!
Goal kick!
And what awaits Carlos Marchena is a yellow yellow Topaz God of War card.
The Valencia centre-back's performance almost fooled the referee, but thankfully Sendriz was not an arbitrary referee and saw everything with the help of Israeli linesman Slingsim!
β¦β¦ The whistle blew and the game continued.
Marchena, who was carried out on a stretcher, quickly returned to the field alive.
The Valencia centre-back took the obscure boos from England fans in the stands at the New Devoli Stadium as a fart, and as he ran towards the back of the Spanish team, he cursed and shook his hands behind his back, looking extremely unhappy and aggrieved that the referee did not award a penalty.
But the camera replayed in slow motion, and everyone in front of the TV clearly saw what had just happened in the box - when Xavi sent the ball out of the corner, Marchena and Steven Taylor jumped high at the same time. The two of them spread their arms in the air at the same time to maintain their balance, and Marchena's elbow slammed into Taylor's chest, and Taylor's fingers brushed Marcena's cheek...... But Marchena trembled as if he had been struck by a giant hammer...... A botched show indeed!
Israeli linesman Slingsam faithfully fulfilled his accusations, and Swiss referee Sendriz also handed a very fair decision.
Even Spanish fans in front of the TV covered their faces in shame after watching the slow-motion replay of the live satellite broadcast.
β¦β¦ The England team, which escaped a "frame-up", soon used the ball to launch a sharp counterattack!
A typical English attack!
Joe Hart's big kick flew over almost the entire pitch, past Spain's heavily defended midfield, and down to the head of the pitch's "highest peak" at the edge of the penalty area, the two-meter-one-tall bamboo pole tall Crouch.
Although the "showman" Marchena struggled hard in the back, when Crouch jumped up, Marchena, who was 1.83 meters tall, lost without any suspense.
The football was accurately ferried by Crouch to England striker Frank Lampard.
Thirty-five meters from the goal!
Such an area is definitely in the heavy artillery area of Frank Lampard, the magic lamp of Chelsea.
Frank Lampard showed no signs of stopping the ball in the face of Crouch's comfortable delivery, and in the middle of the run, the steel spikes of his left boot slammed on the green grass to support the weight of his whole body, and his right calf was pulled back, and his heel almost hit his butt...... It's the quintessential Frank Lampard prelude!
ββ¦β¦ Opportunity for England, Danger !! β
On the commentary bench, Spanish commentator Fernando Garcia couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.
β¦β¦ on the pitch.
Puyol, who has played Frank Lampard many times in Champions League matches, knows very well how dangerous it is to let a player like Frank Lampard shoot calmly in this area, so the Golden Retriever Lion King viciously rushed out of the box to block it at the first time!
Absolutely not let him shoot!
But soon, Puyol's pupils, which were originally full of confidence, contracted sharply!
Because Frank Lampard's high right foot suddenly became soft when it fell, and the part of the contact with the football changed from the instep to the arch of the foot in an instant...... The white soccer ball clings to the green turf, bringing up a flurry of grass clippings...... Puyol's eyes widened in panic: Oops, fooled!
Like a white Pegasus galloping across the grasslands, the 'Europass' scurried past the Golden Retriever Lion Puyol from a slight turn to block Frank Lampard's shot with his back!
In the penalty area, there was no player from the Spanish team to block the football!
Because, that is the gap left after Puyol rushed out.
In the less than three seconds that Puyol had been tricked out by Frank Lampard, Spain's other centre-back, Marchena, and two full-backs were too late to make up for it.
At this moment, the football was like a glittering pair of scissors, along the fleeting gap in the back line of the Matadors to the right side of the penalty area.
"Oh oh Frank Lampard's shot feint toyed with Spain's entire backline with a lethal pass! β
"Gerald! The Liverpool team is in the best position...... No offside! Although Spain's defender Capdevilla raised his arm and Gerrard was offside, the linesman ignored it! β
ββ¦β¦ Jeopardy, Gerald formed a single knife!! However, the angle was not good, and Casillas had blocked the right side of the goal...... Shots? β
on the field.
Reds captain Steven Gerrard, who received Frank Lampard's brilliant pass, stepped forward to get his pace up to the optimum but shot from a smaller angle!
You must know that against a goalkeeper like Casillas, even if the angle is reduced by one point, the probability of scoring a goal will be reduced by 100 points!
The Spanish fans who saw this scene relaxed a little, but soon became nervous again!
Because Gerrard also made a feint to shoot after the trip, the last touch was still a pass. The ball raced along the line of the small penalty area and came to the back of the goal!
Michael Owen, who wore England's No.10 shirt, burst out of the diagonal stab like the last sword to pierce the heart of his opponent, and gently pushed the ball into the arch of the foot...... "...... GerardGeraldGerald! Opportunity Opportunity Opportunity! β
Like an epileptic patient with a sudden convulsion, Sester said excitedly: "Oops, it's a big trip? How to deal with it? Pass...... Who is the back point? Whew, Michael Owen!! Lightning Killer! St Cassie had already been drawn to Gerrard near the front post and Owen sent the ball into the empty net! β
"Hey, hey~~~ The ball is in, the ball is in!" The melancholy baritone of the big-headed Duan Xuange suddenly rose an octave: "Frank Lampard beat the Spanish backline with a shot feint, and Gerrard teased the poor Lias with a shot feint, and the double German used an almost artistic performance to put on a wonderful performance, and Owen's goal was so easy!" β
ββ¦β¦ Whew, what a disaster......" Spanish commentator Fernando GarcΓa shook his head helplessly: "The English played God's football, and there is nothing we can do about it!" But don't be discouraged, boys, because what you do best is attacking, and you can return the favor with goals! β
β¦β¦ on the field.
After the goal, Michael Owen flew like a gust of wind, covering his ears with his hands along the pitch to make a listening outfit, all the way to the cheers of the England fans in the stands like the Alpis flash flood to the team's dugout.
Thirty seconds later.
Li Tongfan, who was thrown to the ground, had already pressed seven or eight sweaty English strong men, and the players were excitedly stacking Arhats.
"Bastard, damn it, my ribs ......"
The muffled man who was pressed at the bottom let out a miserable struggle [***]!
Li Bing, who was standing not far away, looked at Li Tongfan's only thighs in trousers that were constantly twitching outside the "Roshan", and his eyes were full of envy. In Chinese football, it is rare to see players express their affection for the manager in such an intimate way.
In the past few days of training, Li Tongfan has repeatedly strengthened the defensive weaknesses of the Spanish team in the middle of the penalty area, and repeatedly asked the England team to make a breakthrough by playing this point, and today, such a tactic really worked!
Although Senna, the only defender in Spain's midfield, is strong, it is obviously a little difficult to adapt to England's high-flying play similar to a long pass.
It turns out that Li Tongfan's previous training is very targeted and lethal for the Spanish team.
At this moment, Li Bing suddenly remembered some other strange tactics arranged by Li Tongfan in the dressing room before the game...... Could that also be the magic weapon to defeat the enemy?
β¦β¦ 1οΌ0οΌ
Just 5 minutes into the game, the score changed!
The Spanish team tested the heart endurance of England fans with a "wonderful performance", and the England team simply broke the hearts of Spanish fans with a more wonderful performance!
Wonderful, and it will continue!
