Chapter 96: The stage of congratulatory poems, the World Cup, is what you want to be wonderful! (Ask for subscription)
With two goals down, the situation on the pitch finally changed. Greece had to start pressing, but their weak attacking line could not support their strong desire to equalise.
In the midst of a lot of chaos, the first half ended. The fifteen-minute intermission also passed quickly.
At the start of the second half, the Greek team, who had a fifteen-minute break at half-time, came up with a furious rush, trying to use their high press and set-piece axe to inflict two blows on England.
Unexpectedly, the bucket formation was gone, but Xiao Wen's motor was activated, and he received a long pass in front of Gerrard's penalty area with lightning speed in the 57th minute, and ran 30 meters and a diagonal pass to help Sturridge form a single knife.
Sturridge's left-footed shot went through the crotch of Caracines.
3:0.
This is the end of the love-hate feud between England and Greece. Xiao Wen was immediately replaced by Hodgson with Wilshere in the 62nd minute.
In the hot eyes of the English fans in the stadium, Xiao Wen slowly walked along the halfway line to the sidelines. Wilshere squinted at Xiao Wen, who raised his hand to applaud the fans in the stands, and couldn't help but think of his childish behavior at the beginning, perhaps, because of a little jealousy. Although he and Xiao Wen are both geniuses who became famous at a young age, the development context is really different.
It's amazing to say that although Wilshere had a great opinion of Xiao Wen at first, the goal that he himself wanted to complete that many predecessors couldn't accomplish in the World Cup was assisted by Xiao Wen...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stare straight at Xiao Wen who ran all the way.
To his slight surprise, Xiao Wen's expression at this time was still completely devoid of ecstasy, and he quietly high-fived Wilshere off the field, as if he was not the perverted guy who scored two wonderful free kicks in a single game in the World Cup, but like someone who was replaced by the coach who didn't play well in the community weekend football game.
Wayne Rooney was quickly substituted as well. Seeing Xiao Wen pondering in his seat...
The absolute core of the Champions League champion Borussia Dortmund is the only key for England to break through the group stage cage and win this 1/8 final. So he was a little strange, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Wen's face flushed, he looked at Rooney, and said calmly: "Thinking about how to play the Netherlands." ”
Rooney didn't answer, and the topic was a bit out of line.
In his memory, the best trip to the tournament before was undoubtedly Euro 04.
18 ...... that year
Breathe deeply. Rooney glanced at the handsome young man beside him again, and realized that 10 years had passed through his fingers like fine sand.
The all-powerful Lu Xiaobald in the past has become the current Lu Da Fat, those wonderful goals, and the violent breakthroughs that make people's blood boil again and again, are so clear in memory. In the summer of 2004, my 18-year-old self was also so dazzling!
Owen and David Beckham are two world-class stars in their prime, with a midfield duo and John Terry in defence. The only regret is Rio Ferdinand's ban due to the drug ban
England's first opponent in the group stage is France. At the World Cup two years ago, France went out of the group without a win as the defending champions. Still, no one dared to underestimate the Gallic rooster. Some people tend to be out of shape in big games, while others get excited the stronger their opponents. At that time, Rooney clearly fell into the latter category. In his major debut, Rooney had no stage fright at all, turning France's star defence upside down.
On 71 minutes, Rooney received a long pass from Beckham. He picked Thuram near the touchline like a sword into the heart of France. The 32-year-old Thuram tried his best, but he could only watch Rooney go all the way. Sylvestre tackles Wayne Rooney in the box. Unfortunately, David Beckham's penalty was saved by Barthez and England missed a great opportunity to extend their advantage.
In the 75th minute, Rooney was replaced by Eriksson. His European Championship debut can be described as perfect. But off the pitch, he quickly learned the brutality of football. In stoppage time, Zidane scored two goals in a row. England, who led most of the half, could only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.
England's second match was against Switzerland, the weakest side in the group. After seeing Wayne Rooney's first game, Eriksson decided to make some adjustments to his style of play. He increased the frequency of Owen's lateral pulls and gave Rooney more opportunities to hit the back of the net.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Beckham crossed 45 degrees from the right side. Owen won the ball at the back post and calmly shook off the angle to cross again. Wayne Rooney leaps high in the six-yard box and smashes the ball into the goal.
This goal allowed him to break the record held by Stojkovic for two decades. At 18 years, 7 months and 24 days, Wayne Rooney became the youngest goalscorer at the European Championships.
Interestingly, four days later in the match between Switzerland and France, Von Lantang broke Rooney's record. It's a pity that the Swiss teenager hasn't grown into a superstar like Wayne Rooney.
In the sixty-eighth minute of the second half, the two golden boys teamed up again. Wayne Rooney took Owen on a solo shot and calmly fired into the bottom left corner in the face of Butina. The score became 3-1.
A few minutes later, Eriksson decided to replace Wayne Rooney and prepare for the knockout rounds early. England fans on the sidelines chanted Rooney's name, and some fans made bowing gestures. The Three Lions crowd has been overwhelmed by the performance of this wonder boy.
In the quarter-finals, England take on Portugal at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.
After the opening kick-off, Owen scored a difficult goal to give England a quick lead.
Rooney was quick to get into the groove and got past Carvalho at the top of the arc, causing the latter to foul.
In the 21st minute of the game, Rooney was trampled on when he was fighting Andrade for the ball in the box. Although he lasted a few more minutes on the court, it was very difficult for him to even jog and had to leave the field. The accident greatly affected England's attack. Substitute Vassell was closer to Owen's type, resulting in one less important point of confrontation in England's frontline. In the end, the two sides were tied 2-2, and the Three Lions fell to 12 yards.
That year was the highlight of Rooney's national team career, and it can be described as the peak of his debut!
However, in the subsequent tournaments, Rooney failed to live up to people's initial hopes.
And at this time, the young man next to him is also 18 years old, even more peak than himself! How far will he take England this time?
Rooney has subconsciously accepted this reality, and the current England is not his Rooney or Gerrard, or someone else's team, or even Hodgson's team, but Xiao Wen's team!
When he was a child, Rooney's boxing coach always instilled in him this truth -
There are three basic conditions for a strong man: a savage body, a brilliant mind, and an unconquerable will.
Rooney has always believed so, and he has always believed that he has all three.
Until this World Cup. Until I watched this young man run wild on the field...
Rooney carefully lifted his right leg, which was a little numb.
The court has long been boring, and the players from both sides who had fought in one place before began to kill time.
In the end, the score of 3:0 put an end to the Greeks' dreams.
Amid the roars of the England fans in the stadium, the red-eyed England players rushed to the stands where the fans were after the whistle, entangled with these England fans from afar.
Xiao Wen slowly walked towards the half court of the Greek team.
Papastathopoulos stood in place, tears streaming down his face.
"We just lost to you." Papastathopoulos's tired face showed a helpless red, he raised his head and stared at Xiao Wen 'fiercely', pretending to be angry and said, "Quickly pay me a World Cup medal." ”
Xiao Wen was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what Papastathopoulos meant. Actually, every team has about a few circles, and each circle has a circle of lifestyle, which he may not understand, but Papastathopoulos always gives 100 percent when he is on the pitch. So the relationship between the two is not intimate, but it is definitely someone who is willing to give their backs to each other on the court.
He narrowed his eyes and replied very dryly, "I'll take it back and touch it for you when the time comes." ”
Papastathopoulos and Xiao Wen hugged tightly, patted the little brother in the team's daily life and took the lead when he charged, his face gradually returned to calm, and then a convincing and regretful light flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Come on...... Xiao, no one can stop you, go get that damn trophy in your pocket! ”
Xiao Wen didn't reply, he nodded. Then say goodbye to Papastathopoulos.
Looking at Xiao Wen's back as he walked towards the player's tunnel, Papastathopoulos was silent, and somehow, he suddenly found himself... I had never understood the young man in front of me.
……
World Cup 1/8 finals, in England 3; After 0 easily won Greece, the curtain of the fight was completely opened.
At the Minerlang Arena, the host Brazil plays against the South American rival Chile. Both teams have a relatively easy process of qualifying for the group stage, with Brazil winning 2 and drawing 1 with 7 points and ranking first in Group A by virtue of goal difference, beating Mexico to first place in Group A with 2 wins and 6 points. But this game, for the Brazilian team, was not easy.
In the second minute of the game, Manchester City defender Fernandinho violently knocked down Dias from behind, and committed consecutive fouls in a short period of time. However, 1 minute later, the Chilean showed the hosts what a South American style of play is - a retaliatory foul by the titan Medel sent Neymar to the ground!
However, Neymar reacted quickly on the field. In the 17th minute, he took a corner kick from the left, captain Thiago Silva flicked in front of the goal, David Luiz leaned on Chilean centre-back Hala at the back post and cushioned the ball into the goal with his left thigh to make it 1-0, and the hosts were the first to break the deadlock.
In the 28th minute, Vidal brought down Neymar again fiercely during a midfield scramble and was warned with a yellow card.
The competition is getting more and more intense.
In the 32nd minute, Marcelo threw the ball out of bounds to Hulk, who was too light to pass back and was cut off by Chilean striker Vargas and crossed the ball low, Sanchez stopped the ball in front of the goal and adjusted it slightly, and scored with a low right-footed shot into the far corner before Silva fell to the ground, 1-1, Chile stubbornly equalized!
From then on, the two teams were fierce but not threatening, and the 90-minute battle was still 1-1.In the last minute of extra time, Chilean Pinilla's cold shot from inside the box hit the crossbar and bounced off, and the hosts escaped.
In the penalty shootout, Cesar saved 2 points in a row, Hala hit the post with a penalty kick, and Chile was out.
The Brazilian number one was repeatedly logged by the Chilean, but his excellent technical ability thrilled all the Brazilian fans. Brazil hasn't produced such an exciting talent for several years. All Brazilians are eager to try, this World Cup, there is a play!
Next, the same Civil War of the Americas, Colombia against Costa Rica, the dark horse. This game has achieved two people, one is Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who made thirteen saves in the game, five of which were saved! He alone has become an impregnable wall! However, what is even more amazing is Colombia's 10 player J Rodriguez!
In fact, in the eyes of many people, the current Ronaldo is the most 'midfield core' star - although he is not a new star, Monaco was worth 45 million euros when he bought him. He played so well in this World Cup, if the rumored local tycoons Manchester City and La Liga are willing to pay money, 80 million should not be able to run. An important factor in doubling his value is that in the 55th minute of this game, J Ronaldo received a header from his teammates in front of the penalty area, stopped on his chest, did not make any other adjustments at all, and half-sideways a left-footed volley! The ball went straight into the corner, and even if Navas, who was already supernatural in this game, flew to the end of the post, he could not stop the football from scurrying into the goal!
The same handsome appearance, the same amazing ball skills
After this game, J Ronaldo, Neymar, and Xiao Wen once again soared into the topic of the first day of the knockout round. In contrast, the news that Atletico Madrid announced that they were about to reach an agreement with Levante to buy Navas for 10 million was a bit of a failure.
The match between the Netherlands and Mexico is the 1/8 final that the whole England team and Xiao Wen are most concerned about. Because it's about their next round opponent!
Originally, they thought that the uncrowned king was stronger on paper, and their first 5-1 brutal bombing of Spain was amazing enough, and this game should be able to win easily.
Unexpectedly, at the Castello Stadium in Fortaleza, Mexicans shouted for the prince and will take the lead in the 48th minute with a long-range shot from Dos Santos!
Their slogans were shouted for more than 80 minutes. But as the world remembers it. Poor Mexico, too far from heaven and too close to the United States.
This time, they were still too far from heaven, because they were too close to lore!
In the 88th minute, Sneijder, who came on as a substitute, equalized with a right-footed shot! In stoppage time, Arjen Robben made a penalty and Huntelaar scored the winning goal!
Who would dare to believe that the Netherlands, who had the strongest attacking power in the group stage, played an extremely ugly first half against Mexico, and suffered a surprise defeat at the beginning of the second half by dos Santos.
It makes the minds of all England fans come alive. In that case, then you're welcome!
Even the atmosphere in England's squad is a little lighter.
Then, the next day's 1/8 finals were also a lot of topics.
France easily defeated the African eagle Nigeria 2:0.
The favourites Germany, however, battled with Algeria until the last minute of extra time before the outcasts scored the winning goal.
Argentina also played Switzerland in extra time, and it was also Di Maria who scored in the 118th minute.
These two games made all the fans shout excitement and at the same time, they also realized once again that in the World Cup, every player will burst out with 200% energy. The strong team can also be overturned by this sudden 90 minutes.
With the last match, after the European Red Devils Belgium defeated the United States 2-1, the quarterfinals are all out!
The opponents of each other in the quarterfinals have also been decided.
France PK Germany!
Brazil and Colombia once again staged an American civil war.
Favourites Argentina take on the challenge of Belgium's golden generation.
England, on the other hand, faced the uncrowned king of the Netherlands!
During the three days of preparation, the most intense part, in addition to the players and fans, was the intelligence analysts of each team.
All of a sudden, the news obtained from all sides was gathered in the hands of every head coach through various channels.
Three days later.
In the first game of the quarterfinals, Germany defeated France 1:0.
In the history of the World Cup, France and Germany have played each other three times, and the two teams have won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in regular time, with equal results.
But this time, in the 12th minute, Germany opened the scoring, Pogba was fouled at the back, Germany won a free kick on the left side of the front, Kroos drove the ball to the middle of the box, and Hummels scored with a header, 1-0.
The score was maintained until the end.
In the second game, Brazil won the game against Colombia as a matter of course. But once again, Brazil's top brand is riddled with evildoers. In the end, when Neymar was taken off the field on a stretcher, the hearts of all Brazilians were broken.
……
Before coming to Brazil, Xiao Wen had already imagined many scenarios: for example, in the group stage, Hart was pierced by the opposing striker in turn, and then everyone rolled back to Europe, such as trying his best to kill but to no avail.
Now, of course, the best of these possibilities is now.
But no matter how you think about it, when Xiao Wen walked into the new water source stadium in El Salvador City, he still felt that human imagination was indeed quite poor, and his own imagination was not much stronger. He looked at the orange and white fans in the stadium, and his eyes widened suddenly.
IN THE STANDS, THE ENGLAND FANS WHO CAME TO BRAZIL STOLE THE DORTMUND FANS, AND SOMEWHERE THEY IMPROVISED A HUGE JERSEY WHITE JERSEY NO. 7 WITH THE NAME 'XIAO WEN' PRINTED ON IT!
Rooney and Gerrard, who followed Xiao Wen out of the players' tunnel, did not expect such a scene, and even opened their mouths to exclaim.
……
The course is new.
opponents, but there are old acquaintances.
In the other half, there was a bald man with an indifferent expression.
This person who looks a little like an old man Judging from his face, he should have been quite handsome when he was younger, and his thin lips and eyebrows flew only now, he was strong and bald.
Xiao Wen saw that he did not cast a kind gaze, and thought with a wry smile, killing Bayern in the Champions League, but the whole team of Dortmund, it is not right for you to only hate me.
The old man surnamed Luo on the opposite side was naturally Robben, and when he found that Xiao Wen was finally among the few people who came out of the player's tunnel, his brows furrowed.
In fact, he is on the cusp of the past few days.
Because of the penalty against Mexico, it caused a huge controversy after the game. Many people said that he was diving, and even if he didn't dive, the sunspots were spreading that 'Robben was a coward', and he created a penalty but didn't dare to kick it. also tried to make the substitute Huntelaar take the blame, but fortunately, Huntelaar did it overnight, otherwise the story of the Dutch Three Stickers would have to make a sequel!
Robben's sudden indifference startled the other two team bosses.
Sneijder turned his head to the side, somewhat stunned, and looked at the people opposite.
"Xiao asked?"
"Who?" Van Persie also turned around, his brow furrowed.
This stadium is extremely spacious, and the light in Brazil is bright enough in midsummer, but at this time, the Dutch trio looked at the crowd over there across the middle line, Xiao Wen in the crowd, and sighed in his heart, this year's Champions League and the World Cup so far, this kid doesn't know how much limelight he has made.
Tonight, though, let's beat you up with a stick!
Rooney stubbornly and proudly chose to follow Xiao Wen's side, silently practicing with him, excited but trying his best to suppress himself and wait for the start of the game calmly.
The Dutch team is certainly a strong team.
Although they have not won any World Cup, the title of uncrowned king can somewhat reflect their strength.
Those who can enter the quarterfinals of the World Cup are not ordinary teams. And when the twin-start list is laid out, especially when names like Sneijder, Van Persie and Robben appear, the result is already very clear in the eyes of some fans.
It's just that in the eyes of Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, the haze is deep.
Every game since the first beating of Spain has been a very hard game for the Dutch team.
After Italy took out England in its first game, almost everyone sentenced this England team to death. So the Dutch are also strange. And when they saw two free-kicks and one assist in a single game to help England cross the Olympic Mountain, they couldn't hide their shock.
Fortunately, Van Gaal has been galloping for many years, and there was a legend that a magic stick conquered Tony and other Bayern players in the locker room. So, he's definitely a real man. And real men are never afraid to face challenges.
So the 3-4-3 formation he discharged in this game was still very aggressive-
Goalkeeper Cillessen.
Indi, De Vrij, Vlaar
In midfield are Sneijder, 20 Wijnaldum, veterans Kuyt and Blind.
The three forwards are Arjen Robben, Van Persie and the popular fried chicken Memphis Depay in the Eredivisie!
On the sidelines, Hodgson looked at the England players who were warming up, his brow furrowed.
"I hope you didn't mean to be angry with Van Gaal." Gary Neville looked at Van Gaal, who was discussing something with his assistant coach not far away, and said to Hodgson.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Louis van Gaal said: "Of course I respect England. But the current team is obviously Xiao Wen's team. The other 10 people, including Hodgson, all crouched behind him and defended it, relying on the young man on a rampage. ”
So, Hodgson's formation today is 4-3-3.
Joe Hart has had his occasional adrenaline-pumping misses, but at the moment, no one seems to be better than him.
Glen Johnson and Luke Shaw's attacking ability to move forward saw Hodgson use the wing-back pair again.
Gary Cahill and Smalling at centre-back didn't test much in their last game against Greece but certainly the pressure increased today.
Three midfielders – Gerrard, Henderson, Wilshere!
The little threat didn't know if it was Xiao who asked that assist to activate his aura many years ago, and after coming off the bench against Greece in the last game, it actually made everyone's eyes shine again! As a result, Hodgson was trusted in a desperate manner.
The three forwards, after missing out on what could be the best assist in the World Cup, are now known as Raheem Sterling, Wayne Rooney, and Sterling, who are now known as Happy Boys.
"I'm not interested in playing with Louis van Gaal." Hodgson coughed lightly and looked at Neville with a complicated expression, "If it hadn't been for Xiao Qian, maybe I would have been as obscene as Van Gaal said." But, Gary! Everybody said I didn't have what it took to take England. Of course I know what my qualifications and what I have done with the team in the past. But fuck it. Like my grandfather said, you know, my grandfather was a fisherman. When I was young, he always told me that the fishermen didn't know where the fish were before they went out to sea, but they chose to go anyway because they believed they would come home with a full load. Many times in life, it is the choice that gives the opportunity, and it is the belief that is possible! These young people have something they are obsessed with, and I, an old fellow, want to compete with those who look down on me. ”
"Everybody says it's too risky." Gary Neville looked at his phone, sighed, looked at him and whispered, "The Guardian, The Times, ESPN, Sky Sports, even the fucking Sun say you're the same lineup as their three-page girl!" ”
Hodgson was a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
Gary Neville smiled ambiguously, "There's no defense. ”
"Shet!" Hodgson scolded, and then turned his gaze to the young man again, and he had too many hopes in him. I just hope that his shoulders can still carry a thousand pounds like he did in the Champions League!
After returning to the locker room to make final preparations, Xiao Wen and his teammates walked out of the players' tunnel again.
……
Far East. In the live broadcast room of Yang Ma, He Shi and Xu Yang partnered to explain the game.
After the match between Spain and Australia, He Shi was out of the circle in an instant-
"Success is only temporary in life, but failure is the main theme. But how to deal with failure divides people into different forms. Some people will be crushed by failure, and some people will be able to keep getting up and moving forward. That's true for Australia, and it's true for Spain. I think true maturity is not the pursuit of perfection, but the face of one's own shortcomings, which is the essence of life. Romain Rolland said that there is only one true heroism in this world, and that is to recognize the truth of life and still love it. Let's start all over again, isn't the way to climb up more exciting than standing at the top? ”
This improvisation earned him a lot of fans. So I'm in a pretty good mood today.
After some trivial and step-by-step opening remarks, the two officially entered the theme of today's game.
No one expected that the 63-year-old Van Gaal would once again show his skills at the World Cup, and in the face of the orange team, who have not had a particularly talented newcomer in recent years, the boss resolutely abandoned the traditional Dutch 433 formation in favor of a back three defensive system, a 3-5-2 attack dominated by the front trident of Sneijder, van Persie Robben, and the tandem of Kuyt and Verdunam behind them. And Hodgson, who has always been conservative, instead carried the banner of all-out attack and all-defense 4-3-3-. ”
Xu Yang first commented on the arrangement of the head coaches of both sides.
He Shi nodded, and took advantage of the captains of the two sides to choose sides to play again: "If the battle between the Netherlands and Mexico is an absurd symphony of fate, a loud and high-pitched voice that resounds throughout the world, and a prophetic oracle that opens and closes, then the undisturbed plot of the Anglo-Greek battle is light and light, small bridges and flowing water, allowing people to see the fireworks of the world with clear strengths and weaknesses and joys and sorrows." Mexico left Brazil with a lot of grievances, but the Greeks were much calmer. ”
Xu Yang was silent, he knew that at this moment, the stage was not England and the Netherlands, but belonged to He Shi.
"Louis van Gaal is the kind of man who is fearless, and that was reflected in his substitution of Robin van Persie against Mexico in the round of 16. At that time, the Dutch team was down 0-1 and needed to attack aggressively, and no one expected that Van Gaal would replace captain Robin van Persie. You know, Van Persie is a player that Van Gaal needs to rely on after taking charge of Manchester United. Even so, Van Gaal did not hesitate to replace him! Today, he will carry the uncrowned king and continue to storm the crown they have never touched! ”
He Shi's mood gradually entered the state, and he continued to say loudly: "But in the same way, Hodgson today also deserves people's respect!" A 4-3-3 that is extremely bold shows how bold he is to take it to the next level! Yes, in today's game, both head coaches showed their determination to the world, and also showed the world a truth - you don't have the determination to fight against the water, and you don't work hard, so the person who stands at the highest point is you! I hope that the players of both sides will also have such determination on the pitch and dedicate a wonderful game to fans all over the world! ”
As soon as the words fell, the referee's whistle sounded.
The Netherlands kick off first.
Xiao Wen and Sterling pressed forward with Rooney. With De Vrij's long pass, the pair quickly stepped back, leaving England 4-3-3 in attack and 4-5-1 in defence.
However, the Dutch's 3-5-2 formation has led to a sudden increase in the number of people up front.
Van Persie and Henderson battled for the first point, and the old Robinhood elbowed the way and headed a little to Sneijder, who was cutting forward.
Sneijder, who had perfected the pass, stopped the ball and adjusted it slightly, and passed directly to Robben on the right from a middle distance.
In less than ten seconds of the opening period, the Dutch team approached the England penalty area!
Robben didn't stop with the ball and walked forward quickly. Young Luke Shaw doesn't talk about this kind of World Cup quarter-finals, he hasn't even played a heavyweight game in Southampton!
Facing the menacing Robben, the mountain-like pressure instantly pressed down on him, and he alone could not resist Robben's breakthrough, so Luke Shaw could only go all the way back and wait for Gerrard in the middle to come and help.
As Gerrard raced from the top of the box, Arjen Robben and the ball bent down the middle, and before Gerrard could get closer, Luke Shaw slammed his left foot into the ball with a thud as he desperately flew to block it.
Luke Shaw knew Robben's move, and the whole world knew that he had this move, and at this time, the tremor in Luke Shaw's body had turned into his strongest force, and the whole person flew out sideways, supporting his body with his left hand and sliding quickly on the turf, but he still couldn't block the shot!
Hart in front of goal is another well-known provocative character in football.
At this moment, on Luke Shaw's immature face, with crazy eyes, he quickly got up in horror!
Throat!
Joe Hart had made the save he could, but from a distance of more than a metre on his left hand. The ball smashed the crossbar and popped off the bottom line!
At this moment, both Luke Shaw and Joe Hart's hearts felt as if they had been pinched hard.
Xiao Wen also let out a sigh of relief, squinting his eyes at Robben who was holding his head in his hands and full of regret, some people just have the strength to thunder on the ground!
Joe Hart slowly moved the ball to the six-yard line and played a pass to Glen Johnson on the right.
It was so obvious that in an instant Depay, Kuyt, and Verdunam all rushed towards the area of Glen Johnson and Shaw.
Johnson had no choice but to give the ball to Gary Cahill in the middle.
Cahill's ball is okay in England, but in such a major game, he didn't dare to hold it up at all, and Van Persie's forward pressure made him a little hurried forward.
Rooney and Van Persie are different, although neither is good at being a bridgehead, but it is obvious that Rooney is even worse at De Vrij pressing Rooney to push the ball directly back to the halfway line.
In the middle circle, Henderson played with his life and then took off into the air and collided with Verdunam, who ran back to the middle again, and the two shouted and fell to the ground at the same time, but the football was picked up by Gerrard, who came from behind.
In the face of his former teammates, Kuyt did not care about the meaning of the old love, he ran to Gerrard fiercely, stepped between Gerrard's legs, his shoulders against Gerrard's chest, and his thighs against Gerrard's crotch, this series of operations were all aimed at blocking Gerrard's progress and snatching the football from his feet.
And a moment before this series of actions, Gerrard stabbed a pass with his right foot, which also passed to Xiao Wen, the most threatening of the team on the right side. He was then knocked to the ground by Kuyt.
Suddenly, the three of them rolled on the ground a few times with a painful wail, but the referee didn't mean to blow the whistle, his hands went forward, and the attacker was advantageous!
"Xiao asked to take the ball! Kick it back.. Ah! ”
Xu Yang exclaimed, "Xiao Wen pulled the ball back, Depay pressed behind him, Xiao Wen's right foot did not leave the surface of the football at all, and he kept using the sole of his shoe to carry the ball as his body rotated, and at the moment when Depay leaned on his back, he pulled it in reverse, and turned around successfully while piercing the crotch. Xiao asked Depay, who was overpounced! ”
"It was the wildest turn of the gesture that Xiao Wen had never used before, and in the past games, Xiao Wen's feet swept the ground like the wind, but this time, he showed the fans around the world that he was equally skilled with his feet!"
Past Depay, there is an open space in front of him, and in this case, whoever is in front of him will be swept away by his continuous change of direction like a broken tree.
Of course, Blind knows this, especially when he knows that his speed is the weakness of Xiao Wen's blasting, so he slowly leaned towards the middle, the lesser of two evils, let Xiao Wen go straight to the penalty area, it is better to let him go down or cross at a 45-degree angle!
However, what is shocking is that Xiao Wen did not run to the road that Blind gave way to, but approached the big penalty area at lightning speed, and when he entered the middle, there was no way to retreat, Blind could only block it, and behind him there were De Vrij and Sneijder, who chased after him at the top of the arc of the big penalty area.
However, at the moment when he was about to collide with Blind, Xiao Wen flicked his right foot and rushed towards the baseline again, which seemed to be a purely instinctive reaction of his running, which was very natural.
The two stepped forward at the same time, but the direction was in the opposite direction, Brand's pupils suddenly dilated, he knew that at this moment, he had reached the most dangerous juncture! But Xiao Wen's upper body has crossed the line of the big forbidden area!
In the midst of Blind's hesitation, Xiao Wen's lightning-fast right foot had already pumped the ball into the far corner before De Vrij, who was making up for it in the middle, tried to reach out to block!
At this moment, Cillesson was really crazy, he was still looking pale for Robben to miss the opening score, and he didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity again in the rapid movement towards the near corner, his eyes were full of horror! With a twist of his body, his right hand stretched out, and made a final effort!
Hearing a bang from the beam, he fell backwards, his right hand quickly supported the ground, and when he raised his head, the football was obviously bounced to the ground from under the beam! The crossbar trembled violently, and the ball bounced up again after hitting the ground, and Cillessen made the strongest burst since his birth to rush to the football, flying up and slapping the ball hard with his right hand to the right wing-back Indy, who was also horrified, and he shook his head hard and cleared the ball off the line.
At this time, Rooney, who rushed into the penalty area, jumped up and turned to the referee: "It's in!" The goal went in!!!!!! ”
Frank Lampard, who was on the bench, bounced off his seat like an electric shock and rushed to the fourth official, and just wanted to shout something, he was directly dragged back by the quick-eyed Gary Neville.
All the England balls and all the England fans in the field were holding their breath!
They are waiting, waiting for the smartwatch on the referee's wrist to display "goal"!
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
No!
“Yeah!!!!”
The Dutch fans, who were still holding their heads and sighing, celebrated as if Robben had scored a goal just now!
In just one minute, the fans of both teams have experienced the experience of heaven and hell, and countless fans patted their chests directly, smiling and not knowing whether to regret or rejoice more.
"It's so exciting!" He Shi suddenly said again: "As soon as the players on both sides opened, they used their own tricks!" There is no one who is lazy, and there is no one who does not do their best! In a game like this, it was clear to both players that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many of them!
Striving upward, Xiao asked... Robbens! Reach out and pick up the stars, even if it is in vain, you will not be sludge in one hand! ”
