Chapter 149: Undercover
With less than 20 minutes remaining, the scene was still scorching, with England taking the initiative and repeatedly attacking to no avail, while Northern Ireland's fast horses were not threatening their own half.
In the stands, the fans on both sides did not have the slightest idea of "they are born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other", and the two attacks did not show weakness, which can really be described as "boos, applause, cheers, and the sound shook the sky; Waste, debris, throws, objects are conspicuous. ”
On the England side, Gerrard and Joe Cole are in the best form, and the two almost prop up England's offensive line, while Rooney, who has high hopes, has repeatedly taken good opportunities, and the result of Zuihou is only flowering but not bearing fruit.
Gradually, fans became more and more dissatisfied with Rooney's performance, although he was hailed as the future of England, and was expected to be booed.
Qiao Wanxian on the commentary bench was very satisfied with Rooney's performance, and praised it with a pun: "Hey, it's rare to have a player as good as Rooney, if it weren't for him, Erikson's team would have been finished long ago!" ”
"Huh? Didn't England's goal come from Joe Cole and Gerrard's tackle? What does it have to do with Rooney? McKasling was once again "fooled".
Joovan explained as a matter of course: "Rooney was in the opponent's penalty area, attracting the attention of two or three defenders, which gave Joe Cole the opportunity to break through, and also gave Gerrard the opportunity to score, otherwise the opposing defenders pasted it, hehe......"
McCaisling felt that Rooney was not in good shape today, and he had repeatedly taken measures, where did he think that he would get such a high evaluation from Qiao Wanxian, and it was really difficult to refute anything, after all, Rooney was a player cultivated by Qiao Wanxian, and he secretly thought in his heart Could it be that Erikson will not use people?
Looking at the stadium again, the Northern Ireland fans let out bursts of excitement.
England conceded a goal in midfield, and it was Hargreaves who came on for Frank Lampard who conceded the goal, and it was Damien Johansen who broke the ball. He accurately judged Hargreaves' passing line, forcing him to turn and pass back, but unfortunately the speed was slightly slow and Johansen was decisively tackled.
Gillespie won the ball and played a deep pass in a straight line, and the ball was stuffed to Doherty, who was plugged in on the wing.
As England's best left-back, Ashley Cole is a good defender in both attack and defence, clinging to Doherty and never allowing the threat to get the ball comfortably.
It's just that I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? The left flank, consisting of Ashley Cole and Joe Cole, posed a great threat to Northern Ireland, and this time, Ashley Cole also tasted being played.
Instead of stopping the ball, Dahedime suddenly lifted his foot and missed, and the ball flew between his legs, and Ashley Cole behind him was caught off guard and was also pierced through the goal......
The football, which was supposed to be left behind, was like a rampaging car that rushed through the toll booth and continued to fly towards the English half, and when it was about to go out of the touchline, the figure of Northern Ireland striker Harry appeared.
Harry didn't have any outstanding performances in the previous game, this time he didn't pass the ball after taking the ball, but deftly turned around and staggered Joe Cole's pressing, and burst into action, like a rampage tank, rumbling inward, full of momentum!
“…… Harry! Turn around...... Did he pass Joe Cole? The left flank of two Cole was broken through? ”
"Go to the middle of the road...... Sudden change of direction...... Carried Hargreaves with his body...... The bottom line of defense was chosen...... Terry fended off his breakout route...... Didn't pass...... Control the ball ...... Pass...... Harry's return pass to Gillespie! ”
Seeing that Terry was menacing, Harry gave up continuing to dribble the ball and chose to pass back to the back midfielder Gillespie.
Gillespie stopped the ball and instead distributed the ball to Elliott on the left, and Northern Ireland's defensive counterattack was unusually fluid, from the middle to the right and then to the middle, Zuihou was divided into left winger Elliott, and his side was empty!
Gary Neville had already entered the penalty area to help defend, who would have thought that Northern Ireland would distribute the ball behind him again, and there was nothing to do for a while, and the stadium at Old Trafford was already cheering.
Elliott has no one around, he can pass and shoot!
England goalkeeper Robinson immediately moved a few steps outside to try to compete for the high ball, and suddenly found that Elliott had been staring at the goal, and he was suddenly shocked: "It's not good, he wants to sneak attack and shoot directly!" ”
Robinson hurriedly retreated, but the next moment he cried and crossed! I didn't expect the players in the Northern Ireland league to have such a strong performance, looking at the goal to cross, you can't squint?
The goalkeeper position of the England team has always been worrying, and although Robinson has performed well recently, he has also flashed a meteor after all, and he is embarrassed to take on the task.
"Cross! The quality was extremely high, and it flew directly over the head of center forward Harry! Dangerous! McKaysling exclaimed.
Qiao Wan secretly pinched a handful of sweat for Northern Ireland, but said lightly: "There's no fuss, in front of Terry, he can't compete for it!" ”
According to Qiao Wanxian's understanding of Terry's ability, this is indeed the case.
But the reality on the field ...... But it was very different from what he expected.
On the green field, Terry and Harry jumped high at the same time, and their bodies naturally collided. How can an obscure Harry compete with Terry's body? The impact of the Premier League iron guard is simply difficult for ordinary people to bear.
Indeed, at the moment of the jump, Harry felt that he had no hope, although he was higher than Terry, he suffered a serious loss in Liliang and collision, and the waist and abdomen Liliang were even more different, and when he got out of the ground and was in the air, he completely entered Terry's control.
Captain of the Blue Army, Premier League Iron Guard, that ability is not fake!
Just as Harry leaned back and completely lost the possibility of fighting for the top, he suddenly felt a burst of support from his waist and back to make up for the weakness of his waist and abdomen, so that he finally had another chance to compete with Terry.
In the flash of light, Harry didn't judge who had helped him, stared at the ball flying towards his head, looked back at the moon in a dashing manner, and slammed into the goal!
"Look at the ball...... Harry beats John Terry and heads home! ”
"Harry, it's Harry again! Header! ”
"Oooo Robinson reacted very quickly, he subconsciously opened his arms and blocked the ball! Robinson has made a meritorious service! ”
"The football bounced out, but! Haven't been out of the penalty area yet......"
"There was chaos in the penalty area...... Who will grab this first? ”
After all, Harry's liliang source is not active, so the liliang who shook his head to attack the goal was not very big, resulting in the ball speed was not fast, and the angle was not very tricky, and Robinson was like a divine helper, subconsciously opened his arms and blocked the football back.
Harry couldn't control the momentum of the slide, and hit the goal post with Terry, and the man turned on his back, and for a while, there was chaos in the England penalty area!
In that moment, Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand became the closest man to football. He hurriedly turned around and picked up his thighs to kick the ball out to clear the game, but suddenly there was a flash in front of him, and at the same time a player wearing a Northern Ireland shirt also rushed over......
"Bang!"
Two people's feet touched the soccer ball at the same time.
"There's still a chance! Doherty grabbed the point! ”
"That's right...... Oops...... What a pity! Doherty was in a hurry to grab the point, so he didn't get his center of gravity right, allowing Ferdinand to gain the upper hand, and the ball slowly rolled out of the penalty area, and the attack was fruitless......"
Terry, who was pressed under Harry, kept watching the situation on the field, and when he saw that Ferdinand was almost cleared, a touch of disappointment flashed on his face, and what was even more disappointed was that the opponent's center Harry was so weak, and he secretly helped him, but he didn't score a header!
Inside Old Trafford, there was a cry of exclamation from the English fan camp.
This series of dangers just now was really fatal, and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats in fright, but fortunately, Robinson's play was really good, and Ferdinand's filling was extremely fast, otherwise Northern Ireland scored another goal, and the consequences would have been ......
However, at this time, the mutation was reborn!
The stadium erupted in a huge wave of cheers!
Everyone in the stands stood up, and the Northern Ireland fans even started jumping.
There was only one chance that this would happen, and the ball fell to the Northern Ireland player again.
on the field.
Gillespie ghostly rushes towards the soccer ball that is slowly rolling out of the box.
Gerald and Hargreaves were in hot pursuit behind him, and seeing that the situation was not good, Hargreaves even leaned forward, his arms stretched out sharply, and his five fingers opened, trying to pull Gilles down even if his position was ...... It's still in the forbidden area.
It's just that at this time, the ordinary Liliang can't shake Gillespie's crazy impulse, and in the face of the football, he adopts a very artistic treatment - rubbing it lightly with the instep of his foot.
The movements are casual, and the weights are light, as if you have completed a breath.
And Putian Tongqing crossed a small opening parabola in the air, just bypassing Robinson, who was guarding the near corner of the gate, and fell into the net lightly!
The whole set of actions is extremely chic!
After the goal, Gillespie turned and ran towards the sidelines, he ran slowly along the white sideline, the evening breeze blowing, the green shirt hunting, he stretched out his right hand to make a megaphone shape next to his ear, a calm and satisfied smile on his face, listening to the cheers pouring down from the stands like ancient waves......
Northern Ireland, overtook the score!
At this moment, everyone was stunned, looking at the bright red score of 1:2 on the big screen, no one believed what they saw in front of them......
Only a subtle smile flashed on the corner of Terry's mouth, who was sitting next to the goal post, and he secretly thought to himself: "Boss, I'm doing a good job as an undercover agent, right?" ”
