Heaven and hell are separated by only a few minutes.

It's not uncommon in football, but when it doesn't happen to you, everyone just watches it. Right now.. Only the English and Uruguayan players know what it's like to have a double day of ice and fire.

The moment the whistle blew at the end of the game, the England fans' bench exploded with a buzz.

The veteran Hodgson's face was still filled with shock and joy, and since the first defeat by Italy, he was like a soldier in desperate need of salvation in World War II. Now, it's time to take oxygen.

After pretending to be calm and taking a sip of water, Hodgson's face finally showed a relaxed smile as he looked at the substitutes rushing to the center of the court.

Inside the field, Xiao Wen was almost lifted up by his teammates who flocked to him and walked around the field. Was stopped by Gerrard in time to stop this from the people of the football kingdom to see the joke, everyone has won the World Cup! Low-key, calm! And one more game against Costa Rica!

Only then did everyone happily rush to the stands where their fans were to invite pets.

Gerard and Rooney stayed, standing beside Xiao Wen, who stood still.

Gerald hugged Xiao Wen fiercely, "Brother." ”

There are no other words, a thousand words are in this look.

Then, Gerrard walked slowly to Suarez, who was silent on the Uruguayan bench.

Rooney put his hand on Xiao Wen's shoulder, and he was also a little cramped.

The two chatted with each other, watching the crazy England fans in the stands reveling, countless paper cups and various belongings were thrown into the air, and the air was filled with the smell of the aftermath......

In the post-match press conference, Hsiao declined Hodgson's suggestion to bring him to attend.

He didn't just come to Brazil for such a group stage.

However, this reversal made Huo Taigong very happy, and even generously 'rewarded' the international players - so that the wives could enter the hotel where they stayed in England that night.

This made Xiao Wen slightly surprised. It's just that his body is indeed a little tired, and he can only clench his fists slightly at Ether Shish. Xiao asked!

……

A thrilling game with ups and downs made all England fans fall in love with Xiao Wen overnight.

Strong, handsome! The characteristics of two men and women who kill together, who can withstand this!

The big guy was even able to watch the match between Italy and Costa Rica the next day with a calm mind, and the feeling of fate in his own hands was a bit cool

Xiao Wen followed the whole team to watch the game in the hotel, because they have to play against Costa Rica next, and they must study this Costa Rica team carefully.

Italy made three changes to the starting line-up compared to the first round, with Gianluigi Buffon returning from injury to replace Sirigu, Giorgio Chiellini returning to central defender and Abate returning from injury to start the game. Thiago Motta replaced Verratti, who started the first game.

Costa Rica continued their starting line-up for the first game.

Italy kicks off first. In the 2nd minute, Ruiz passed the ball and Bolaños shot from the edge of the penalty area to help Costa Rica complete their first attack of the game, and Buffon got the ball safely.

In the 6th minute, Tejeda's long-range shot from outside the area was deflected off by a defender to form a corner, Bolaños took a corner kick, and Borges headed high from 4 meters from goal.

Italy, on the other hand, can only frequently organize attacks with long passes, and mistakes are frequent.

In the 25th minute, Balotelli received a long pass from the midfielder to form a single knife, but was blown offside.

In the 27th minute, Balotelli stopped the ball and did it back, Thiago Motta volleyed hard from the top of the penalty area, the ball was slightly off, which was actually Italy's first goal in this game.

The players of the England team have expressed their puzzlement, how. Why is this Costa Rica so fierce?

In the 31st minute, Pirlo cleverly picked up a pass behind him, Balotelli stopped the ball and formed a single knife, facing the attacking goalkeeper Bashen with his right foot, but the ball was ridiculously deflected.

There was a lot of laughter in the conference room! This is the repertoire of Ba God. In that 0.01 seconds, there was no goalkeeper, no defender, not even the opponent's door and football, and there was only one sentence in his heart: "To live or to perish, that's the question." ”

Moreover, you must know that Ba Shen also taunted the fans of the Great Yin Empire before the match between England and Uruguay: "If you lose this game, it doesn't matter!" As long as the queen promises me a kiss after the game, I'll do England a favor. Take Costa Rica! ”

Purely above the neck of the toddler grade.

But what made the England players suddenly unable to laugh was it

Just before half-time, in the final minute of regulation time, Costa Rica's Dias crossed from the left, Ruiz nodded the ball into the crossbar and bounced off the goalline.

A group of people were chattering about Italy's luck. Goal-line technical tips suggest that the referee's football as a whole has crossed the goal line. Costa Rica leads Italy 1-0!

Around the corner, Lampard seemed to remember something. Slowly lowered his head and clenched his fists, and greeted the relatives of the Uruguayan referee again.

Others are looking at this Costa Rica to win two in a row!

Could it be that this cup is the dark horse. That's him?

What is called a dark horse, in layman's terms, is the group of people who barely got the qualifications to participate in the banquet and ate other people's cakes when they arrived at the venue.

In the silence of the English players, the Italians were robbed of their cake.

Replaced by Cassano's Italian frenzied attack. But whether it was Andrea Pirlo's free-kick from 22 yards out or Cassano's powerful right-footed volley from 20 yards out that was blocked by a defender and then diverted from the line. All of them were miraculously blocked out by a man named Navas!

"How tall is this guy?" Joe Hart looked at the Costa Rican goalkeeper who had made another incredible save and finally raised his own questions.

Wilshere, the little prince of Internet surfing, searched for it and immediately replied, "185cm." ”

At this time, the team bosses were polite to Xiao Wen, and the Xiaoxiao in the team also put away their careful thoughts, and no one dared to be a demon anymore.

Joe Hart groaned and fell silent again.

Everyone in this room knows that Navas has a clear disadvantage in terms of his height, and as a goalkeeper, he has a smaller save range than tall goalkeepers such as Hart, after all, his height and reach are not up to the requirements of a top goalkeeper.

However, except for Hart, everyone else was thinking that if it was Joe Hart who stood in front of the goal with those Italian shots just now. Then if there is love in the sky, the sky will be old.

This 'short man' reacted quickly enough when his height didn't seem to be enough at all, so fast that Xiao Wen was amazed!

Even Xiao Wen felt that it would not be too much to call him the most responsive goalkeeper player in football today.

In just one game, no, maybe against Uruguay, he had already shown this amazing ability, but England hadn't noticed it yet

Now, everyone is beginning to realize that Costa Rica may be the toughest team in this group!

After watching a game, everyone chatted hastily, deliberately not mentioning the ferocity of Costa Rica, but just laughing at Italy, which was originally going to see their jokes.

England fans are even more so. Same as in reality. People generally rarely trust people who are better than them and prefer to avoid associating with them. On the contrary, he often confides in people who are similar to him and have common weaknesses with him. It seems that people do not want to change their weaknesses, but only want to be pitied and encouraged.

So, this time, it was finally the turn of the English fans to say to the Italian fans: "Well, don't cry so loudly, it's not good for your image as a world champion." ”

It's just that the chatter of England fans also hides some worries.

After all, Costa Rica is too fierce!

3:1 beat Uruguay all over the ground to find teeth, 1:0 Italy.

England lost to Italy, relying on Xiao Wen's explosive seed to barely win three points from the Uruguayans, if you don't look at these illusory things, England is the weak side!

……

June 25th.

Belo Horizonte Mineiro Stadium.

Countless England fans and many Brazilian fans are cheering for England. Or to be more precise, the Brazilian fans cheered for Xiao Wen, the original so-called Kaka heir, which made them feel a little cordial, and the tail flicking in the last game made the Brazilian fans addicted.

It's just that Xiao Wen was not sloppy at all, and he was still a serious warm-up. Then, in the expectant eyes of everyone, he walked into the tunnel where the starters were standing in line, calm as usual.

Although Hodgson was also nervous, compared to Uruguay's halftime, he could at least smile, looking at Xiao Wen, with an indescribable stability in his heart.

Sterling, who was standing behind Xiao Wen, also had mixed feelings.

Originally, he was a new England No.7.

With the number blessed by Beckham, it is naturally noticed by more people, which makes Xiao Linzi happy for several days.

Xiao asked, this No. 7 was directly deprived! Sterling has an extra stick on his body! Number 17!

Man, it must be a big deal to have less sticks, but this is one more out of thin air, and it's not good that Sterling was uncomfortable for several days because of the 17th.

However, now, there was no uncomfortable feeling, and he even felt that Xiao Wen's figure was a little majestic.

Rooney turned his head, looked at Xiao and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Xiao Wen replied calmly: "It's good, don't worry, I have played in the Champions League final." ”

Xiao asked for the concern in Rooney's words, but he clearly didn't need it.

In the grappling in the Champions League, when the opponent is tight, Xiao Wen is also tight, and when the opponent is ruthless, Xiao Wen is ruthless. Even in the face of martial arts legend Pepe and the wolf-like Atletico bandits, he never retreated.

In this game, Hodgson made a relatively large adjustment. After all, a veteran like Gerrard has been fighting for a whole season, and his physical strength is somewhat problematic.

So Henderson was paired with Frank Lampard in midfield, with Raheem Sterling, Wayne Rooney and Shaw behind Welbeck.

Luke Shaw and Glen Johnson flew on both wings. The recklessness of centre-back Gary Cahill and Smalling Jagielka caused him to lose Hodgson's trust.

The afternoon sun is still shining warmly on the stadium.

Xiao Wen's start today has already become the talk of fans around the world after dinner on this match day, and it was originally an ordinary group stage, but suddenly there was a little more attention.

The moment he got the starting lineup, Lineker looked at the materials he had gathered before the game and sighed to Phil Neville: "If there were two Xiao Wen, I really think we would have to win the championship." ”

Phil Neville was drinking coffee, frowned when he heard the words, was silent, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "After so many years of youth training, I didn't expect a guy from a big league to save England." ”

In another live broadcast room, Alan Shearer and Joe Cole are debating, Alan Shearer is now completely a member of Xiao Chui, and his attitude is - as long as you follow me to blow ~ Xiao, then we will be good friends.

"It's not a question of whether I can win this game, it's a question of how many goals we can win!"

Seeing Xiao Wen enter the starting list, Alan Shearer danced on the spot and celebrated in advance.

"Costa Rica is going to have to fight hard." Although Joe Cole is not so pessimistic, there is no doubt that this ball is still a do-or-die battle If everyone is also 6 points, it will depend on goal difference.

So, Costa Rica, at least, has to be flattened. England must go all out to win!

"Hodgson, Hodgson. The first game should be won against Italy. This Italy team is really the worst Italy in history. "Alan Shearer was unwilling.

If England wins Italy in the first game, it will be tacit with Costa Rica at this time, such as a tacit understanding or something

However, after the game began, the crazy scene of the dark horse vs. the sick meow that people thought before the game did not appear.

Costa Rica, who retreated in an all-out effort to hold on for a point, relied on Keylor Navas' supernatural performance in the first 30 minutes to block Welbeck's header, Frank Lampard's deflection, Wayne Rooney's half-volley and Xiao Wen's free-kick from around 28 yards.

But in the 32nd minute, England's siege came to an end when Shaw Man's set-piece was deftly extended by Frank Lampard in front of him, and the ball bounced off his calf and bounced into the back of the net.

After the goal, Frank Lampard got up and burst into tears!

He frantically rushed to Xiao Wen, only said thank you and couldn't say anything again.

Xiao asked a little confused, the magic lamp this. What's wrong?

Rooney came all the way, patted Lampard's head fiercely, and when he saw Xiao Wen who was being held, he looked confused, and quickly explained: "Old Lan has been waiting for this day for too long!" 10 years, Germany"

Xiao Wen suddenly realized!

In the 10th World Cup, England and Germany met in the round of 16.

With a hundred years of grievances and historical fate, the two sides played real as soon as they came up.

However, after only half an hour, Germany led 2-0!

However, as the England team quickly adjusted, the game went on 36 minutes, Gerrard crossed, Upson headed home, 1-2. England recovered a goal.

Then the moment when Frank Lampard couldn't help but greet the relatives of the referee on duty, Uruguayan Larionda, came - just 55 seconds after the first goal, England took advantage of the German's panic and intercepted the ball directly at the top of the penalty area, Milner distributed the ball to striker Defoe, who jammed the position for the forward Lampard, and Lampard fired a blast!!!

The ball is in! But it didn't go in!

Everyone saw the whole thing as the ball crossed the goal line. Lampard saw it, Capello saw it, the German players shook their heads in frustration, the German fans were already scolding, and fans all over the world witnessed this wonderful goal, but as the German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer "shrewdly" fished the ball out of the goal and casually directed his teammates forward, the referee's whistle seemed to be welded to death!

After this game, all these years, when everyone brought up the goal-line injustice. The first image that comes to mind is the Chelsea lamp standing in place, with angry and confused eyes, holding his head in frustration.

Although some fans say that the Three Meows Army is retribution for England to win the World Cup in 1966 with a disgraceful goal-line goal. But there are no IOUs and bank vouchers for repaying debts, and the defeated character of the ancestors makes the children and grandchildren have a cup. Can Frank Lampard stop being angry and me?

At this moment! A fateful goal, how can it not make Lampard burst into tears!

Frank Lampard hugged Xiao Wen until the end of the celebration, and a thousand words came together into the punch to Xiao Wen's chest.

As soon as this goal was scored, Costa Rica was also anxious.

Two players in a row got yellow cards on Xiao Wen, and Hodgson was so anxious that he walked up to the fourth official and complained.

However, another corner kick before the end of the first half completely shattered Costa Rica's hopes of trying to get points.

Xiao asked a curved ball with a huge arc, and the landing point was on the line of the small penalty area, and Gary Cahill beat Costa Rican central defender Gamboa to score with a header eight meters in front of the goal!

Gary Cahill and John Terry have actually become an outstanding pair this season, helping Chelsea build one of the most solid backlines in the Premier League. He started 19 consecutive league games and was named in the 2013-14 PFA Team of the Year alongside team-mates Petr Cech and Eden Hazard!

Cahill also rushed to Xiao Wen after the goal! The whole team also jumped and hooked each other's shoulders, and rushed to Xiao Wen's direction with a smile.

"We have always said that some teams have poor results, and infighting is the main reason, and these things are internal struggles, and the only way to create trouble, will definitely greatly reduce the combat effectiveness." Lineker couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, before the game, I also heard that some players in England were a little dissatisfied with Xiao Wen, thinking that Xiao Wen was a 'peach picker'. But now look at these two games, everyone rushed to Xiao after scoring a goal and asked... Why is this scene a bit dootypical? Infighting? Dissatisfied with Xiao Wen? Self-defeating! ”

Who would dare to be dissatisfied!

Isn't that a joke?

In just two games, Gerrard was grateful, Rooney was respectful, and Lampard almost made a promise. And that's not even mentioning the few bigwigs sitting on the bench who control who is on and who is on the team.

No one dared to despise Xiao Wen anymore. The retreat of adults is given by money. And England's retreat was given by Xiao Wen!

Thanks to "Diduo", the leader of the alliance who rewarded his brother! Thank you for your support all the way! Thank you all (bows)!
