Chapter 2 White Ninety-Two - First Goal

Although Lao Lei had roughly figured out the bottom of England's defense, before he could act, England took the lead in making changes, or it should be said that he suddenly came to his senses. I don't know if it was Eriksen's order, anyway, after the 20th minute of the first half, the English players finally showed their housekeeping skills and rushed with long passes.

This ancient tactic, which once brought England glory, may no longer have its former glory, but it can still play a very important role in certain situations. Now, for example, it won't be enough to turn the whole situation around, but it will at least give England an effective and guaranteed means of fighting back, and no longer have to be like headless flies in the face of Portugal's consistent possession.

Especially on their right flank, where the trio of David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney are often concentrated in a small attacking group. Beckham, who is good at long passing, plus Rooney and Gerrard, who can play well, such an attacking combination puts some pressure on Portugal's left defence, at least makes Portugal's overall formation less consistent, and launches some effective attacks.

This is a welcome phenomenon, but it is not enough, not only for England itself, but also for Old Ray and Portugal. A single offensive cannot be sustained and effective unless it has reached a point where it is inexplicable, and there are no exceptions. And, obviously, Beckham's three-man attack combination is far from that point.

However, although this is the case, it has at least slowed down some of Lao Lei's planned plans to press forward and attack, so he has to devote some more energy to the left side of the defense at this time. England's physical superiority. So that he really felt completely comfortable handing over the defense to his teammates. It's not distrust, but it's true. This is a phenomenon that is quite mutually reinforcing and cannot be avoided by any team.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Beckham's long ball found Gerrard in front of the goal again. This time the Liverpool captain didn't delay any time. With Kostiani leaning behind him, he directly stopped the football to Rooney, who pulled out of the penalty area again. Lu Xiaopang, who finally got the football, excitedly took out all his explosive power at this time, and after flashing Valente's up grab horizontally, he was going directly to the middle. And, as you can tell from the way he keeps adjusting his posture, he is always looking for opportunities to shoot from distance.

The experience of the first 20 minutes of the game told him that although the Portuguese defense line was slightly less physical, its experience, positioning, and awareness of position selection were very good. He dribbles too much on his own and will only be easily closed and broken, making the offensive chances slim and not helpful. So, this time he also learned to be obedient, no matter what, he wanted to make a long-range shot on the periphery first. Aside from the idea of scoring, he also wanted an effective long-range shot first to recover his already consumed sharpness.

However, even then, his idea did not work out. Just as he was about to force his feet. The anticipatory England fans let out a sigh of regret again, and the quick return of the old ray appeared behind Rooney in time. Just when Rooney was just putting on a posture, Lao Lei's eyes lit up, and he immediately seized the opportunity. In a posture that almost did nothing wrong with Roone. Hooked the ball at Rooney's feet behind him. Subsequently, although Rooney fell directly to the ground because of physical contact with Lao Lei, Lao Lei was not suspected of fouling at all.

Seeing the shot that came to his mouth, the opportunity flew away. Rooney, who had been in a state of agitation since the opening, was furious again, like an angry little steel cannon. Lao Lei, who turned around and left with the ball, launched it with full firepower. Soon. Lao Lei, who had been prepared for a long time, felt the fierce impact from Rooney behind him. However, just the moment the two first came into contact, Lao Lei immediately handed the football to Mela behind him with a heel, making Rooney's efforts useless again.

Seeing that there was no football under Lao Lei's feet, Rooney, who was still fierce just now, suddenly lost his strength. At the same time that he returned again in vain, the anxiety in his heart also added another point. Then, when he looked up and saw Lao Lei's playful eyes, he immediately added two more points. Subsequently, it was precisely because of this three-point anxiety that Rooney took advantage of Gerrard's foul when he grabbed the ball and was whistled for a foul, and directly found the referee to complain.

Moreover, that attitude is quite unkind. The big voice and big red face made Lao Lei on the side sigh when he saw it, and he was looking forward to Rooney's persistent efforts and make another effort, and at the same time, he also looked at the referee who was already obviously unhappy and frowned with an expectant face. At this moment, Lao Lei felt that he had a unique feeling of waiting for the lottery to draw, or that the previous numbers were all right, just before the last time.

It's a pity that in the end, the general was not his, and he had long paid attention to Rooney's mental situation, and his opinion was wrong, so he immediately pulled away Rooney, who was still scolding and unforgiving. Then, he politely explained to the referee on duty. In this way, Lampard has finally solved Rooney's crisis.

From the point of view of the English players, Frank Lampard's action was undoubtedly a success, but for the old Ray, it was the most disappointing. Caught by Frank Lampard, he also let God drop the pie, shook his head and returned to the game disappointed.

Subsequently, England launched a series of attacks on the right flank, although they did not pose a great threat, but at least they also drew the attention of Lao Lei and Portugal, and did not let them play a continuous fierce attack. However, after 30 minutes of play, the right side of the attack became weaker and weaker, and the trend of disappearing became even more obvious. After the 33rd minute of the first half, Lao Lei felt that the time had come.

Under his organization, Portugal's overall formation pressed again, pushing the entire England team back into their own half, and even Wayne Rooney retreated to near the centre circle to help defence. When this situation officially took shape, it was another question of how to solve the problem in front of Lao Lei and Portugal. At least until the start of the second half, they will have that strategy and overall dominance. In other words, to pry open the gates of England. This is the best time to do so.

In the 37th minute of the first half, after making several consecutive passes in the middle. Lao Lei once again took out his trademark dribble and plugged it in. At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo are also moving closer to the middle. Since the side bottom has no effect. Then simply set fire to the middle road, this is the instructions given to them by Lao Lei.

Deco, Lao Lei, Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, plus Pauletta swimming on the top of the arrow, almost in an instant, England's central defense ushered in the current Portugal's strongest five-man attacking group. All of a sudden, England's originally well-staffed central defence. Suddenly, I was a little stretched. Admittedly, this situation will also make the already narrow middle lane more crowded, but this is not a problem for Lao Lei. Fishing in troubled waters and winning in chaos is not only good at England, but also for him. What's more, these central defenders in England, except for Hargreaves. He knew the rest.

Taking advantage of the moment when the England central defense was a little flustered by Portugal, Lao Lei directly carried Hargreaves and accelerated directly to the goal. Although immediately afterwards, he immediately ran into Gerrard, who was coming back to the defense. But at the moment, Portugal have plenty of numbers in the middle. So although the situation seems to be critical, for Lao Lei, there are actually many ways to deal with it.

These methods can be a bit difficult for other players. After all, it is not easy to grasp the fleeting opportunity. But it's not a problem for Lao Lei at all. With a flick of the heel of his right foot, he handed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just passed behind him. Old Ray immediately sped forward, not caring about Hargreaves and Gerrard beside him.

At the same time, after winning the ball, Ronaldo did not stick to the ball, and directly knocked the football to Figo in the middle. Then, following Deco's forward insertion, Ronaldo himself also quickly stepped forward. In this way, in just an instant, Portugal had Deco, Pauletta, Ronaldo and Lao Lei, four people, forming a forward trend in the middle. In addition, just now Portugal's series of delicate small combinations have disrupted the entire England defense, and at this time, anyone can see that Portugal's knife has been put on England's neck.

Faced with this situation, the old Figo showed his veteran passing skills, and gently picked the football, so that it went over the heads of everyone in the middle and flew to the back of the old Lei. Almost no command was needed, and all the England fans in the stadium let out a shrill boo in unison at this moment. Although this boo is still piercing, it is panicked, and the confidence is insufficient, like the mourning of the death knell!

At the same time, Hargreaves and Gerrard both squeezed into the inside lane of Ray's alley, trying to block Ray's pass or shot. In addition, England goalkeeper Robinson also moved to this side, ready to block. When the football fell, Lao Lei's position was near the bottom line, and the angle of the shot was not large. But even so, no one dared to let Lao Lei shoot, and at the moment when Lao Lei was about to stop the ball, Hargreaves took the lead in sticking it up, trying to directly destroy or interfere with Lao Lei's handling of the ball.

In this regard, Lao Lei had expected it, he didn't look at it at all, the fierce Hargreaves directly stretched out his left foot and lightly picked the football over Hargreaves' head. Then, he immediately took a position and made a posture with his right foot to directly volley.

But Hargreaves and Gerrard didn't give up either, except for Gerrard, who was looking for a good position, desperately pounced. Hargreaves, who was picked by Lao Lei, was also ruthless, gritted his teeth directly, and desperately came to a back block. Seeing that Lao Lei's shooting line was gone, Lao Lei suddenly pulled out a sly smile that was almost invisible at the corner of his mouth, turned his shot into a pick, and picked the football to his left hand with his right foot.

Although the height of the football this time is not high due to the temporary transition, even so, it is not something that Hargreaves, who has completely lost his physical balance, can stop. At this time, Lao Lei's eyes were completely unhindered, although the shooting angle was too small, but Lao Lei was still full of confidence.

didn't look at Robinson, who was waiting for him, he was also confident, stretched out his left foot very calmly, and directly volleyed at the falling left foot, completing a beautiful and even stunning volley that surpassed everyone.

At this time, Robinson was shocked, the England defenders were shocked, and the England fans were even more shocked, and even had already died. But at the same time, the ball drew a calm and elegant parabola, fluttering towards the top corner of the far post.

In the words of martial arts novels, this is a gentle knife! Gentleness that can kill!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Thunderhorse! Reima!! Reima, he stood up again! This is Reima! This is Reima!! English, why are you messing with him?! Why?!! However, we want to thank you! Thank you scoundrels!! 100,000 thanks, send you to hell! Let's go to hell!! ”

Just as the Portuguese commentator was screaming, the English fan stands behind the England goal had fallen completely silent at this moment! There is no life, there is no life!!

The football that entered the net, like a gentle knife, was directly inserted into their hearts, making them lose their words!

However, for them, this is not the end. Everyone knows that Lao Lei will not forget it at this time, and the retribution has become his label.

Almost at the moment when the football entered the net, the camera on the scene consciously stared at Lao Lei and did not miss any details.

I saw that the hero after the goal did not show any excited look, he came to the stands of England fans with a cold face and cold eyes.

After glancing at the dead England fans, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched again, revealing his trademark mocking smile.

At the same time, he slowly raised his right hand and put it together into a knife,

Then, from left to right, on his neck, he pulled it hard, cleanly.

During the whole process, he was like a murderer, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he became a hideous smile.

It made him look like a real killer who had murdered all the England fans! Life!! Soul!!!

Because, in front of this "murderer", there is a dead silence in the stands!

There is no dead silence without any sound!!

In this way, Lao Lei's smile also seemed to be dyed with blood, bloody

Hideous!

Terrifying!!

Horrible!!! (To be continued......)
