Chapter 67: Victory in the First Battle

“Cooooooooooooooooooal!!! David Beckham, our captain took the lead with his trademark free-kick through the Spanish net. It's so beautiful, fans, let's cheer to our heart's content. ”

In fact, there is no need for the commentator to say that when the fans saw Beckham's free kick score, they immediately broke out into huge cheers, although it was only a friendly match, but their team scored, which was enough to make the fans happy.

"That's amazing!" When David Beckham took the free-kick, George saw it clearly. At first, George only knew that Beckham's free-kicks were very powerful, but it was not clear how they were because in the last game against Manchester United, although Manchester United scored a goal from a free-kick, it was Ryan Giggs who scored the goal, not Beckham.

But this time, with Beckham's free kick goal, George, who has been watching carefully, finally knows why Beckham's free kick is so famous.

Because George just saw very clearly, when Beckham kicked the ball out, the ball first went straight over the wall, although it suddenly changed direction, and finally got into the net.

George can say without hesitation that Beckham's free-kick just now, the ball absolutely turned into a half circle in the air and drilled into the net. Judging from this, Beckham's full moon scimitar really lives up to its name.

Thinking of the free kick here, and then comparing it with Beckham's free kick, even George, who has always been very arrogant and conceited, has to admit that his free kick is rubbish compared to Beckham's free kick.

However, this did not make George feel frustrated and give up, on the contrary, after seeing Beckham's free-kick goal, the more determined George's decision to practice the free kick well.

Beckham just raised his hands and smiled, standing still and waiting for his teammates to celebrate.

Without making Beckham wait long, Gerrard, who was closest to Beckham, jumped on Beckham's back with a tiger leap, while Shearer, Lampard, Scholes and others also gathered around and celebrated with Beckham.

At the same time, tens of thousands of England fans at Anfield Stadium also shouted loudly and vented. For the fans, it's too simple, as long as the team can score, as long as the team can win.

With Beckham's goal, tens of thousands of fans shouted Beckham's name in unison to express their love for Beckham as the captain.

Seeing Beckham enjoying the unique treatment of fans, George on the sidelines couldn't help but feel very envious, because in a situation like this, tens of thousands of fans kept shouting a person's name, George has only encountered it twice. One time was David Beckham this time and another time it was Chelsea veteran Gianfranco Zola.

Indeed, the current "heartthrob" Beckham is no longer the 98 World Cup shovel Simeone, was sent off with a red card, and became an England sinner, and he doesn't even dare to stay in England. Now David Beckham has become England's captain and the darling of England fans.

Since it was a friendly match, the referee did not disturb the celebration of the English players, and let the English players celebrate for several minutes, consciously ended the celebration, and began to prepare for the resumption of the game.

At this time, Keegan also made up his mind, and in George's regretful and disappointed eyes, he replaced Owen with Husky and formed a double forward with Shearer.

Because the half-time game was coming to an end, whether it was Spain or England, there was no hope of attacking, so the scene was dull for a while. The referee also saw what the players on both sides were thinking, and the whistle blew for the end of the first half with less than a minute of four-minute stoppage time.

At halftime, Keegan casually praised a few words very irresponsibly, and then asked the players to stabilize and play a backhand counterattack in the second half. The rest of the time is free for the players to do, so you can do whatever you like.

But with only fifteen minutes to spare, even if the players really wanted to do something, they didn't have time. So the England players just sat together and chatted with each other, and jokes popped out of one player's mouth from time to time, causing laughter in the dressing room.

Owen also had a pleasant conversation with Shearer, and since the injury was not very serious, Owen didn't even need to go to the hospital, just dealt with it briefly, and sat on the bench. Because Owen's injury is not serious at all, it only takes a few days to recover.

However, considering that this is just an ordinary friendly match, Keegan replaced Owen from the field, if this game is a World Cup final, or a Champions League final, I'm afraid Keegan will definitely not replace Owen, after all, Owen's voice is put there, even if there is a little injury that affects the performance, but the opposing defenders will never dare to despise Owen, and Owen's presence will also involve one or two defenders on the other side.

The short half-time break passed quickly and the two sides returned to the pitch again to start the second half.

It seemed to want to equalize, at the beginning of the second half, Spain began to attack frantically, and England was in a hurry for a while, if it weren't for the players who were elite, I'm afraid the door would have been breached.

Despite the embarrassment, England at least withstood Spain's frantic attack, and then began to counter-attack with the long balls that are characteristic of England.

In the 61st minute, Beckham passed the ball to Gerrard, who passed to Scholes in front of him, and Scholes flashed Baraja's tackle and passed the ball into the box.

Shearer received a pass from Scholes, pressed his body directly against Marchena behind him, and turned behind him to hit the goal quickly.

Shearer's shot, although the angle is not very tricky, is better than the power and speed. The ball finally passed through Casillas' defense and into the net, 2-0.

In the final game, both sides got a lot of chances, but they were always able to take advantage of them, and finally in the 78th minute of the game, Raul seized a chance, received a pass from Guti, dribbled laterally, evaded Ferdinand's block, and shot angrily.

This time the shot was the same as the one at the beginning of the game, but the ending was different, this time Raul's shot was very powerful and at the same time the angle was tricky. He-Man struggled to make a save, but he couldn't stop the ball from flying towards the net.

Thanks to Raul's personal brilliance, Spain finally scored a goal, but they still trailed England 2-1.

In the following ten minutes, neither player had any better chances, Keegan replaced Seaman with James and Terry for Campbell, seemingly trying to find a replacement for Seaman and Campbell, so that the two could add a bit of experience to the tournament.

Terry and James are cool, but unfortunately George is not happy, especially seeing Terry and James being replaced at the same time, plus Husky, George knows that this time his national team debut is no chance. Although he didn't expect to be able to play in the first game in the first game, when the moment really came, George still felt a little lost.

With the referee's whistle, England won their first game with a 2-1 win over Spain. Next up is the Danish team, which is known as this fairy tale. But the Danish team, which has no goalkeeper Schmeichel, can really write a fairy tale like the Danish team in 92.

(I don't know what to say, madman just say, this book is mainly to highlight the main character, highlight Liverpool.) So I'm sorry, some fans who like other teams and stars will see their favorite clubs and stars being ravaged by the protagonist in this book, I hope you can understand)

(At the same time, I received news today that Kaka went to Real Madrid, I really don't know how AC Milan would let Kaka go, you must know that Kaka is still young now, he is in his prime, and he has signed a 6-year contract.) However, this matter has been paid attention to, and no one can change it. But fortunately, the Real Madrid where Kaka went is also a giant, not a nouveau riche like Manchester City, look at the current Chelsea, although it has won several Premier League titles, it is still called a nouveau riche. I hope Kaka can have an excellent performance in La Liga and Real Madrid, looking forward to it. )
