"The race is on! It was England who kicked off first......"

Although Duan Xuange's melancholy baritone is still calm and passionless, countless Chinese fans who are waiting in front of the TV suddenly fall asleep at this moment, and everyone's first action is to stare at the TV screen to see if they can capture the man in front of the Three Lions coach's bench who is regarded as a national idol.

...... "Crazy Lee really used his own best 4-1-2-1-2 formation, with Michael Owen partnering high striker Crouch up front, Blues lamp Frank Lampard in the midfield position, and Steven Downing and Ashley Young on the wings."

“…… Captain David Beckham sits in midfield, with Ashley Cole, John Terry, Steven Taylor and Manzioni lined up at the back, with the goalkeeper Joe Hart, who has been outstanding at City this season......

Sester couldn't hold back his surprise and finished introducing the starting list, turned his head to look at Gary Lineker, who was also surprised, and couldn't help but ask: "Gary, a little unexpected starting list, tell me what you think!" ”

"Well, it's no surprise that Crouch is up front due to Rooney's suspension, Liverpool high school striker has been excellent in the warm-up games and has been able to work well with Michael Owen......"

Lineker voiced his opinion:

"The most surprising thing in midfield was Steven Gerrard's omission, and at the moment it seems that the madman Lee is still leaning towards a winger like Downing who is fast and has good skills in a small area......

"As for the back line, it's the most surprising part, Newcastle newcomer Steven Taylor has squeezed out Leo Ferdinand, isn't the madman Lee not afraid of the media slamming him for using the national team to rise to his own interests?"

However, this seems to be more in line with the surname of the madman Lee, and it has become the pleasure of this [God] to go against the media...... And after expelling Richards and Neville, Manzioni really became the starting right-back! However, I guess the right side of England will soon be a priority for Greece......"

“…… As for the goalkeeper, Joe Hart's start was no suspense, and the madman Lee's love for the young player is well known, maybe he can really make a super goalkeeper for English football! ”

With the cheers and shouts from the stands that had not stopped since the start of the game, Lineker intermittently interpreted the Three Lions' starting line-up as he understood it.

It wasn't until this time that Sester remembered that Sihua had not yet introduced the starting lineup of the opponent Greek team, so he added it without hurry: "The starting eleven of the Greek team are goalkeeper Nikopolidis; defenders Sitaridis, Kirgiakos, Anchas, Dras; midfielders Torosidis, Charlistias, Basinas, Kachulanis; Forwards Lagunis and Yekas. ”

Poor Greek team!

In contrast to the lengthy enthusiasm with which the England team was introduced, it was clearly deliberately ignored by Sester.

…… On the greenery of the Ers-Sizenheim Stadium, the game is in full swing.

In the stands.

The cheers of the blue camp were like thunder!

The applause of the white squares is like a wave of rage!

In the first five minutes, the England team was like a reckless man in a hurry, without the slightest temptation, but directly into the sprint rhythm of pressing the full force of the fast attack.

Not a respite for the Greek team!

…… Sidelines.

In front of the Greek team coach's bench.

Otto the Great Rehhagel leaned lightly on the guardrail of the coach's bench with his hands on his chest, looking at the disciples who were beaten by the strong men of England on the field like his grandson, the expression on his face was not surprised or happy, and a burst of excitement flashed from time to time in his wise eyes...... "...... How? Crazy Lee, known as the "God on the Football Field", were you really stimulated by the 4:1 victory in Spain just now? Hehe, can't wait to show the fans that you're the strongest one? In that case......"

"Then you're going to lose! It's a pity, I'm still in too much of a hurry...... Too young! ”

Rehhagel quietly watched the England team on the field, eager to attack.

The leisurely and confident eyes seemed to see an angry lion chasing a group of unclothed hunters with disdain...... Unfortunately, although he had already slapped away several fellows who dared to challenge his majesty with his sharp claws, the proud lion obviously did not know that if he took a few steps further, it would fall into a deadly trap!

Four years ago, the French Gallic rooster with its wings fluttering and the Czech iron hooves fluttering in white were killed in this trap...... And Portugal with a golden generation such as Figo, Rui Costa, etc.!

This trap helped the Greek team sweep Europa League in Portugal 2004!

This trap is called a European-style defensive counterattack!

A defensive counterattack that was interpreted to the extreme by Otto the Great Rehhagel!

…… on the field.

Ten minutes have passed.

England's strong performance saw the Three Lions gain almost 80 per cent possession over the course of those 10 minutes, winning four corners and seven effective shots, three of which hit the woodwork...... The comparison of the data is striking!

And the offensive and defensive situation on the field also showed a one-sided trend.

Under the onslaught of the England team, the Greek team was firmly pressed within the range of thirty or forty meters of their own goal, and even the forwards Gunis and Yerkas had to run back to their own penalty area at any time to participate in the defense, looking down from the top of the field, the 22 players on the green battlefield abandoned the goalkeeper, and as many as 16 people stepped on the Greek team's half...... At least on the surface, it's more like a half-time offensive and defensive coaching match!

…… In the stands.

The expressions of the fans on both sides are different!

The huge field advantage made the England fans in the stands crazy and crazy, while the Greek fans in the blue camp fell into anxious silence, and the satellite cameras skimmed over the stands from time to time, and the TV footage cleverly captured some interesting tidbits, which are destined to become classics and be fixed in the memories of countless people about Euro 2008 - on the pitch.

England midfielder Frank Lampard blasted a powerful long-range shot...... In the stands.

A bald macho man with a face painted with red and white ink and the cross flag of England in his hand holds a prop cross sword, and his mouth is open and angry, and his expression is arrogant...... on the pitch.

Greek goalkeeper Nikopolidis staggered past Michael Owen's header off the line...... In the stands.

The old Greek fan wearing a black iron helmet of a blue and white Tasseled Spartan warrior with a blue and white tassel on his head looked nervous and covered his heart with his hands...... on the pitch.

Downing made a series of feints like a butterfly in flowers, and after the cross, Crouch pressed the Greek defender Sitaridis to hit the goal with a header...... In the stands.

Graceful and slender, dressed in the white robes of the mythical gods of Olympia, the beautiful Greek maiden holding the scepter of Zeus in her hand, with large blue jewel-like eyes full of anxiety and worry............ Of course, the most attracted shots were the England National Wives group led by the hot girl Victoria.

It's a group of women with flowers.

They have delicate faces and great fame, stunning sunglasses of various colors on their faces, and wear luxury goods from the top brands from head to toe...... In the north stand of the Ls-Sizenheim Stadium, they form a beautiful landscape.

What is obvious is that with David Beckham's main position in the Crazy Lee's England team becoming more secure, Victoria, who was once robbed of the infinite scenery by Rooney's girlfriend Colin and Ashley Cole's flag Cheryl, has once again risen strongly and become the leader of the wife group............ On the commentary seat.

“…… Michael Owen shoots! Whew, God, what a bad luck!! Owen wasted another chance...... There was a close chance that he missed the goal! Could it be that the god-king Zeus is really standing behind the goal of the Greek team today? ”

This is Sester holding his head and exclaiming.

"Alas...... Oops, oops, Crouch, what a chance!! The Liverpool striker squandered Beckham's deadly corner once again, and I think England fans will miss the retired bomber Alan Shearer for a moment......

This is the explanation of the big-headed Brother Duan Xuan's true colors without hurry.

“…… Whoa, yes!! yes！！ gogogogogo......" Sester jerked off like a black American rapper bragging dad: "Ashley Young! Ashley Young!! Punch Punch ...... Pretty, he went into the penalty area and looked...... See how to deal with it? Oh oh, fouled, definitely fouled, haha, penalty...... What the? Goal kicks? Shit, damn referee! ”

“…… Twenty-five minutes into the game, England completely suppressed the defending champions! This was not unexpected......"

The unhurried and impatient character of the big-headed Duan Xuan Ge sounded in the ears of Chinese fans again: "But the score is still maintained at 0:0, and England must make a little change to solve this problem." If this scoreless situation continues, the Greek counterattack will come......"

…… Time is still ticking.

Finally, even the indulgent England fans are a little anxious!

For the Three Lions, everything is in place, just a goal!

But it was this goal that was so easy to score in the past, but it was so difficult to produce under the Greek team's impregnable defense. On the contrary, Greek fans, who survived the opening shocking period, gradually became less anxious.

As the scene in front of them gradually became familiar, they remembered that they had been pressed like this by the Portuguese team in the final four years ago, but ...... In the end, it wasn't the Greek team that won the championship!

Field advantage does not equal victory!

…… In front of the England team's dugout.

Lee Tong-beom wore a light blue shirt with a hem tucked into his trousers, his hands in his pockets and a cool pestle on the sideline, with a confident smile on his face.

Three minutes later.

Lao Li turned his head to look at Otto the Great Rehhagel, who was also confident in the coach's bench of the Greek team not far away, raised the watch on his wrist and carefully checked the time, slowly came to the sidelines, and once again made a gesture asking the players to work hard to press down and attack with all their might.

Time's up!

It's time to score!

…… 34th minute.

on the field.

England won their eighth corner of the game.

The Greek team is still like the previous seven defensive corners, leaving only the faster Jerkas alone in the front, and all the other players are recycled into the penalty area to participate in the defense...... But this time, after seeing Li Tongfan's gesture on the sidelines, the corner kick strategy of the England team has quietly changed!

The man who took the corner turned into Steven Downing!

David Beckham entered the Greek penalty area.

The Greeks didn't pay enough attention to the slight change as David Beckham had already taken seven corners but didn't pose enough of a threat. It's normal for England to change a corner, and it's the same for other teams.

Moreover, before the game, Rehhagel repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to respond to all changes with the same when arranging tactics, so the Greek team members firmly believe that as long as they strictly follow the tactical requirements of the head coach and are not induced by the "trick" changes of the madman Lee, they will be able to be foolproof in defense.

But...... Two or three seconds before Downing's corner kick from the left, Beckham sprinted back and forth in the box four or five times before suddenly withdrawing from the Greek box!

Then, the corner kick is taken in this instant!

Came to ...... Outside the Big Forbidden Zone!

David Beckham, who got rid of the defense, didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground and volleyed directly!

The "volcano" of Ls-Sizenheim, which had been accumulating energy for 35 minutes, erupted!

The white soccer ball roared with bursts of scorching air currents, and shot towards the crowded penalty area!

Rubbing the ear of the Greek midfielder Sidimons, who was hastily blocked...... Rubbing the ends of John Terry's hair...... Rubbing Michael Owen's forehead with all his might...... And in the end...... Grazing the Greek goalkeeper's open index finger, he slammed into the net that should have been smashed three or four times in the past 35 minutes...... "...... The ball is in!! David Beckham!! The captain scored England's first goal of this European Championship and it was a perfect start! God, before the goal we saw the gesture of the madman Lee again......"

30,000 stadium stands.

20,000 England fans.

At this moment, whether it is the Ls-Sizenheim Stadium in front of us, or China's Shenzhou and the British Isles thousands of miles away, they are in endless frenzy at the same time.

on the pitch.

David Beckham, who scored the team's opening goal, ran wildly, his long blond hair like a dancing flame. The teammates who followed closely behind him quickly hugged the captain excitedly.

…… Sidelines.

Li Tongfan smiled and glanced at Otto the Great Rehhagel, who was still confident and calm just now...... Sure enough, Rehhagel's face changed!

It gets ugly!

Because, for Rehhagel, as long as England scores, even just one, it is enough to completely bankrupt his defensive counter-attack plan.

That's right, Otto the Great believed in 1:0ism!

However, the 0 in the back is actually 10,000 times more important than the 1 in the front. Because once the opponent is not 0, even if the Greek team achieves that hard-earned 1, it will become meaningless. As long as they lose to England in one defensive section, Greece's weak forward line will definitely not be able to score more goals than England.

At this time, there is no other way for the Greek team than to attack. The defence will never be able to win at 1-0 down.

"I didn't expect to break my perfect plan with a goal of luck......"

Rehhagel came to the sidelines and made an offensive gesture.

…… Not far away, Li Tongfan, who saw Rehhagel's helpless figure, smiled proudly!

Balloons?

No!

That's a bug corner tactic!

Although the FM2008 system's bull-level system mission [Top of Europe] has made many restrictions, the bug corners and BT corners and other vulnerabilities in the system itself do not seem to be limited.

The European-style defensive counter-attack, which was interpreted by Otto the Great to the extreme, was indeed difficult to deal with, but once the deadlock was broken, it was difficult to pose any threat to the England team!

…… The game continues.

Greece, who rushed to attack after conceding a goal, were no match for England at all.

David Beckham, Michael Owen and Steven Taylor, the three players who can maintain [superhuman form], helped England dominate the next game with one front, one middle and one back.

…… 48th minute.

“…… goooooooooooooooal！！！ Michael Owen!! The second goal, a sharp defensive counter-attack, and Owen's lightning speed finally played to his advantage......

…… 55th minute.

“…… Incredible! Goal again!! David Beckham's corner kick, national team newcomer Steven Taylor grabbed the front point and shook his head to hit the goal, and the goalkeeper of the Greek team did not react! 3:0, this is the end of the game for the Greek team!! ”

…… 67th minute.

“…… Whew, God!! Crouch's clever ferry, Owen blasted a powerful shot near the penalty line!! Haha, 4:0!! It's a [***] Owen-style goal! What a wonderful moment!! ”

…… The suspense of the game has been lost by this point.

Lee Tong Fan replaced Frank Lampard with Gerrard, replaced the exhausted Downing with Joe Cole, and replaced Michael Owen with rookie Daniel Stirich!

Ran out of three substitutions in one go!

After the substitution, the England team still did not relax its offensive, and the attack after attack continued like a raging tsunami under the urging of a hurricane in the Pacific.

However, until the end of the game, the Three Lions did not score again.

Gerrard and Joe Cole, who came off the bench, were in very poor form.

Because the two of them are the five members of the FM2008 system who have negative [opinions] because of the expulsion of the three Walcotts. This is also the only reason why Lao Li surprised everyone to put Gerrard out of the starting lineup.

At this moment, the two people are on the field, Li Tongfan hopes to eliminate the negative [view] of the two through the game. It's like an online game novel that is going to make it red, and get Gerald back to normal as soon as possible.

…… In the 91st minute of the game, the Greek team's defensive counterattack finally worked.

Substitute Euro 2004 hero Charsteias grabbed a goal with a header in front of the goal, and the score of the game was finally fixed at 4:1!

Force-Force-Force-ForceWhen the referee's final whistle finally sounded, the Ls-Sizenheim Stadium instantly became the hottest and craziest place on the entire Europa continent.

For England fans, for Chinese fans, this night is destined to be a sleepless night!

The focus of this game is not on the description of the game scene, but on trying to set off the atmosphere of the European Cup from other angles, which can be regarded as an attempt by the knife, and I hope the brothers can recognize it. After all, the European Championship has only just begun, and the real highlight is the matchup between the giants.
