Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ――

"England have scored! Owen showed good competitive form after coming on, he gave Lampard a wonderful assist, the whole offensive process of the England team's counterattack this time was extremely fluid, the ball was fast, concise, and the purpose was clear, several players in the front field quickly transferred the ball from the right side to the middle, and Owen gently made the ball to Lampard who inserted it in the back, and Lampard was unstoppable in the penalty area! He calmly volleyed the ball inside the Portuguese goal, Ricardo had no way, nothing to do! We saw England coach Sir Hall also rush to the side of the players to participate in the celebration, he knows better than anyone that England and Portugal, whoever scores first will almost seal the victory! ”

Originally, England had a chance to kill Portugal today and make the situation very comfortable, but Rooney did not grasp the opportunity and let the situation drag on to this point.

The further back, when the physical fitness of both sides declines, the higher the probability of the game getting out of control, and if it is not possible to be hit by Portugal, England will be able to turn the tables again, and it will be really difficult to climb to the sky.

Luckily, Frank Lampard scored at the 70-minute fitness threshold!

In the cheers of countless England fans at the scene, Aldridge rushed to the corner flag area, where Arhats had been stacked, Aldridge did not jump up like a player, he was really afraid of making a big oolong: what if the player was crushed?

So he just rushed to the front, excitedly hugged Xiaobei with one hand, hugged Scholes with the other, and then looked down. Trying to think from Gerald. Hargreaves and others found Frank Lampard.

The players climbed up one after another. Aldridge doesn't need to deliberately reiterate tactics, nor does he need to change anything, continue to play defense!

Scolari's face was grim, while the Portuguese player's expression was solemn.

There is less and less time for the game, and there is not much time left for them to turn the tables.

After the resumption of the game, Scolari ordered his team to press upwards and the full-backs stepped up their assists.

Aldridge cheered on the sidelines to keep the team focused on every opportunity to switch from defense to attack!

81st minute. Valente assisted, Ronaldo cut into the penalty area, but Valente failed to pass the ball to Ronaldo's feet, when Xiaobei was pressing, Valente took a step in the direction of the bottom line, and Gary Neville successfully grabbed it at the right time!

Ronaldo didn't have time to regret and immediately desperately grabbed the ball at Neville's feet, but Neville kicked the ball forward with a big kick.

In front of the right side, it's not Becky, it's Gerrard on the side.

He receives the ball and knocks it sideways. Becky quickly plugged in, and Maniche, who was defending Gerrard, just pounced on Becky. Beckham crosses the ball diagonally to the right wing.

Pretty two-over-one!

Gerrard turned and dribbled forward without harassment, and soon found his way in front of the Portuguese penalty area.

Andrade came over to mark him, and when Gerrard cut inside with the ball, he gave up his position on the right side, and Becky went from back to front, this time the attack almost ran in an S shape, but there was no zone conflict in the coordination.

Gerrard then fed the ball back to Becky, who fired a crescent-like cross straight into the middle of the Portuguese defence's two centre-backs, where Andrade defended Gerrard and opened up the distance between him and Carvalho.

At this point in the middle of the goal, Owen sprinted diagonally from the left back to the right front, and under the interference of Carvalho's obvious intentions, Owen stepped out and jumped to the top!

Bang!

The ball was less than a meter away from Carvalho's stomach, but Owen's head hit the ball on its own initiative, only to see the ball rush into the upper right corner of the Portuguese goal like thunder!

Owen rolled on the ground and made physical contact with Carvalho after the ball, clutching his ribs and not getting back up!

"England scored another goal! Irving! Owen, Owen seems to be injured! ”

Before all the England fans had time to celebrate, their joy was interrupted by this unexpected image.

Aldridge had already waved his arm when he saw Owen rolling on the ground, signaling the team doctor to hurry in!

After nearly 20 minutes off the bench, Owen was injured!

And he brought England a goal and an assist!

All England fans are praying for Owen and hoping he doesn't have major problems.

Gerald, who was closest to Owen, ran to Owen for the first time, leaned down to ask him about his condition, Owen grinned and couldn't say what his expression meant, pain and happiness coexisted, he inhaled cold air and said: "Steven, I, my ribs seem to be broken." ”

"Don't move, don't move, the team doctor will be here soon."

Gerald stood up and beckoned to the trotting team doctor, motioning for them to run faster.

Broken ribs are no joke, if a bone is accidentally inserted into the lungs, it will kill you!

Carvalho was also panicked just now, the height of the ball made him almost use his head and feet, and his thigh was raised when Owen rushed to the top, and when Owen finished the top, his leg did not retract and hit Owen.

England did not celebrate the goal due to Owen's injury, but there was a deafening applause at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon as Owen was stretchered off.

The team doctor's initial test of Owen's injury was not as severe, not as severe as Owen himself imagined, and the fracture did have a slight squeeze on his lungs, making him breathless and his chest tight, but not in a particularly dangerous situation.

Aldridge gave Irving a thumbs up on the stretcher as he was carried off the sidelines, and Owen smiled in response.

The Portuguese team fell behind 0-2 as if they had fallen off the edge of a cliff.

They couldn't make their first run after they restarted the game, with Deco's long-range shot flying straight over the crossbar.

Aldridge used up all the remaining substitutions.

"England made two substitutions at once, Owen came off the bench and left the field due to injury, he made a huge contribution to the England team, if England can win the title, Owen, who only played less than 20 minutes today, will be remembered forever by England fans, and his replacement is Joe Cole. Meantime. Steven Gerrard was also substituted. He was replaced by Michael Carrick, and it looked like Sir Hall was going to be absolutely defensive. ”

Yes, England is going to defend absolutely, but not by adding defensive players, but by controlling the ball.

He made this very clear to Carrick and Joe Cole during the substitution, and he played the ball control with his teammates in the B2B area, and there was no team-mate running to form a one-knife threat, and he never took the ball lightly. When defending, outside the fan-shaped area in front of the goal, they are crazy to grab!

Scolari was a slight gaffe on the sidelines, knowing full well that the tide was turning, and he was still in his death throes.

The Portuguese players were crazy all over the field, and the holes at the back were more and more exposed, and they did not organize a smooth and orderly attack, but the defense sounded the alarm one after another, but unfortunately England did not have a striker, and Joe Cole missed a one-on-one goal in the 87th minute. Becky also failed to hang the goal when the goalkeeper came out in the last minute of the game.

However, England managed to maintain their victory until the end of the game!

German referee Angela Merck blew the whistle for the end of the match. At that moment, all the coaches and players of the England team rushed into the stadium and celebrated wildly!

"The winners of Euro 2004 were born, and they were England! England relied on a tough and solid defence to create a series of scoring chances in the space of 90 minutes, and finally beat Portugal 2-0 thanks to goals from Frank Lampard and Owen, England won the European Championship for the first time in their history, and at the same time, they replicated the glory of France in '98 and 2000 to win two consecutive major tournaments! There is no doubt that this is a dynasty moment for the England national team in international football! And the founder of this qiē, the most important person, of course, is their coach Sir Hall, with rich coaching experience and excellent on-the-spot command ability, Sir Hall has reborn the England team in the past four years, not only won the World Cup after 36 years, but also won the European Cup for the first time in history! He will be remembered by the English football world and adored by the world football, Sir Hall is a natural football coaching genius, he has swept all the trophies in his 10-year coaching career, the club Grand Slam, the national team has also won two of the most important trophies, and if he continues to manage the England national team, he may be able to add a trophy to the England team in the Confederations Cup next summer. At the same time, we should also see that the success of the England team is not accidental, they have a lot of excellent stars, Owen, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, Scholes, Hargreaves, Campbell, Terry, Gary Neville, Ashley Cole, Robinson, in addition to the goalkeeper, the England team's main starters in this tournament are from European giants or first-line clubs, and they have been fully tempered on the club stage and honed by high-level competitions, and their strength is obvious to all. Coupled with a legendary coach who has won the world first, England have shown convincing quality in this European Championship, which is more reassuring than the thrill of their World Cup victory two years ago, and now people are more concerned about whether Sir Hall will remain in the England team as he did two years ago, if he chooses to leave, the loss to England will be incalculable, but the topic is probably worrying England fans, and fans of other strong teams are happy to hear it. Tonight, we want to give a round of applause to Portugal, they also won the best result of the national team in the European Cup, but the runner-up is always full of regrets, now we can see the young Ronaldo with red eyes standing in place and crying sad tears, at the age of 19, he will be the future leader of Portugal, but now against the overall strength of England, he has not become a key figure again, we will send him applause and encouragement, hopefully in two years, we can see him lead Portugal further in the World Cup. Tonight, it's England, it's England football, and they have reason to celebrate the first European Championship in their history! The quadrennial European Cup, the war of 04 has stopped, and now, we are entering the cycle of reincarnation, waiting for the war to rekindle in four years, when we will wait for the meeting and fight of the European giants in Switzerland and Audley! ”

In the middle of summer, the wolf smoke of the European Cup has finally been extinguished, and the England team has won the first European Cup championship trophy in history!

After Aldridge's celebration in the stadium passed, he stared at Ronaldo with tears in his eyes not far away, and at this moment, his heart was also a little uncomfortable.

In fact, I wanted to resign two years ago, and there are certain factors to this situation.

In the club, he is a general, and when he goes to the national team, he has to fight against each other.

In the World Cup, he played against Larsson, Ronaldo, Schneider and others.

When I came to the European Cup, I had to send Henry, Nedved, and now Ronaldo away

Even if he was a human in two lives, he didn't know how to face the current situation, which made him in a dilemma.

To comfort?

He's the runner-up, you're the champion, what's the consolation?

At the moment when he lifted the European Championship with the team, Aldridge knew in his heart that he could no longer continue to be the head coach of the national team.

It's no longer because he has the time and energy, and whether he wants to spend more time with his family.

It's just because although leading the national team has a sense of career fulfillment, there will also be more unhappiness.

On this day, Aldridge Hall completed the achievement of his national team winning the World Cup and the European Championship on the occasion of his 10th anniversary in charge.

On the day he officially retired ten years later, his coaching career was defined as "flawless".

Ten years later, there was a new definition of a football coach in world football.

There are two types of soccer coaches.

One is called "Aldridge Hall" and the other is other coaches. (To be continued......)
