Chapter 161: Which Door Did God Close for Him......
Lin Yun stood up in the cheers of the audience and ran towards the corner flag area.
One hand crosses the waist, the other hand grabs the top of the corner flag, head high, and look at the audience!
"Lin Yun broke the goal on his debut! Almost two months before his 19th birthday, Lin Yun scored his first goal in the World Cup, becoming the second-youngest goalscorer in England's history! Lineker shouted.
Owen, who sat next to him, was England's youngest World Cup goalscorer in history, at the age of 18 years and 190 days.
Owen immediately Versailles said, "But I didn't score on my debut, I didn't score in the second game, and I came off the bench at that time......"
At the same age, Owen appeared in the World Cup as a rising star and a surprise soldier and made a name for himself in the game against Argentina, while Lin Yun is now the number one star of the Three Lions, and the defensive treatment received by the two is obviously not the same.
Owen continued: "Lin is celebrating Batistuta's famous corner flagpole, and it seems that he is not paying tribute to me, but Batistuta, you know, Batistuta scored a hat-trick on his World Cup debut, maybe Lin is using this to spur himself ......"
Rooney rushed in front of Lin Yun almost at full speed and leaped.
Lin Yun hurriedly reached out and hugged him.
Only the wrong name, no wrong nickname, Xiaopang is really dead......
Everyone looked at the two who were laughing and celebrating, and the mood was a little weird.
Wayne Rooney, third World Cup, 9 appearances, 635 minutes in total, 0 goals.
Lin Yun, who participated in the World Cup for the first time, played 1 ...... No, strictly speaking, it's now a maximum of 0.4 times, a total of 40 minutes, 1 goal.
Although you are the current top scorer for the national team, having scored a total of 39 goals for England, Rooney's World Cup record is almost nil.
The assist was the first time he had been directly involved in a goal in nine World Cup games.
As for Lin Yun, he broke the goal in his debut, and his efficiency exploded.
In the past, everyone watched Rooney, how to look at it, but they only felt that there was such a son in British football, and the revival plan was just around the corner.
Now that there is a comparison, I find that this is all a god thing......
Lineker is clearly not too happy with Rooney either.
If Rodgson cram four Liverpool players into his starting line-up to replicate the Reds' style of play last season, Rooney played a role similar to Liverpool midfielder Philippe Philippe Coutinho.
However, in contrast, Coutinho seems to know how to manage the team's attack in the forward position better than Rooney, and in the opening 40 minutes, Rooney except for the impressive assist he sent to Lin, the rest of the time was completely out of the team's offensive system, and the overall performance can only be described as terrible!
Of course, the good news is that the combination of Lin Yun + Rooney has played the effect that everyone expects, and we only hope that they can continue to maintain it and support England's forward line for the next ten years! ”
The camera pans from the celebrating team to Hodgson.
Huo Taigong hugged the assistant coach excitedly, and then applauded, but in the next second, the camera suddenly turned and cut to the other side of the coach's seat.
I don't know when, there was a person lying on a stretcher.
If you look closely, the person who was suddenly injured turned out to be not a player, but Gary, the team doctor of the England team. Levin......
Lineker and Owen looked at each other, shrugging their shoulders in disbelief at the same time.
“…… England's team doctor Gary. Levin was so excited during the celebration that he stepped on a water bottle and sprained his ankle, becoming the first ...... to leave the World Cup injured Well, members of the England team," Lineker shook his head, "Michael, do you know much about Levine?" ”
'Of course, when I was in the national team, he was the team doctor,' said Owen, "Levin joined Arsenal at a very young age as a goalkeeper, but after a year on loan in the lower leagues, Arsenal didn't renew his contract, they ...... Well, let him change careers and become a team doctor......"
If you are not a good general, you are a good doctor!
At the age of 19, Levin went from goalkeeper in Arsenal's reserves to team doctor in Arsenal's reserves.
Although he has no talent in goalkeeping, Levin has a lot of potential when it comes to treating injuries, and after three years of studying at a medical school, he officially became Arsenal's first-team doctor.
In 1989, David Locaster swallowed his tongue and it was Levin who urgently pried open his jaw and saved his life.
In the 2007 Carabao Cup final, Chelsea captain John Terry was knocked in the head by Arsenal midfielder Diaby and fell unconscious, at which point Levin was the first to rush on the pitch to urgently treat his opponent's injury, and Terry later said that Rowin may have saved his life.
In 2008, Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva broke his leg, and it was precisely because of Levin's first handling that he saved the former's career, for which Levin was praised.
Levin served for Arsenal for 22 years until 2008, when the FA called him into the England squad and his nephew Colin took over as Arsenal's team doctor.
Speaking of which, Levine's injury this time is actually a good inheritance of the "tradition" of the English coaching staff: before the 2012 Euro Cup Anglo-French game, England goalkeeper coach Clemens was mysteriously injured and was helped off the field by the team doctor Levin, and now, sitting on the stretcher is Levin himself.
Lin Yun, who was robbed of the scene, only learned what happened when he was told by his teammates.
It can only be said that the wonder is also a kind of heritage, and it is the heritage that must be inherited......
The first half was already coming to an end, and after kicking off again, both sides focused on stability and did not attack easily, ending the first 45 minutes of the game without waves.
1-1, the victory or defeat has to be left until the second half.
Back in the dressing room, Hodgson was naturally not happy with the team's performance.
England threatened in the first 10 minutes of the game, but for the next 30 minutes, they were almost always pressed by their opponents.
If it weren't for Lin Yun maintaining a strong deterrent in the front court and using his personal ability to recover a goal, England's current situation is estimated to be even more difficult.
The gap is mainly in midfield.
Liverpool is very strong this season, once played third in the league, in addition to Suarez's outburst, Gerrard and Henderson's midfield combination also contributed to it, so Hodgson directly arranged these two brothers into the starting lineup in the national team.
As a result, the performance of the veteran vs. veteran, captain vs. captain, and the Jay team was obviously worse than the sleeping skin on the opposite side.
Fortunately, Lin Yun's goal happened to come from Gerrard's steal, otherwise the captain of the national team would not know what to be sprayed after the game.
Gerrard naturally knew it in his heart, so he patted Lin Yun's shoulder gratefully, "The goal is beautiful, what Pele didn't do, you actually did." ”
Lin Yun also saw Pele's failed shot, he was inspired by Pele when he chose not to touch the ball and directly split the ball, as for how much luck he could score in the final shot, he didn't dare to float, "It's just lucky, I may not be able to score it again." ”
"It's even more rare this way," Gerrard didn't know what bad things came to mind, and his face became less pretty, "The most precious attribute of a player is to be able to burst out stronger than usual at critical moments, and in this respect, you are already at the top of the world. ”
Liverpool had a chance to finish second in the league this season, but because of one of his slips, it went straight to third.
Fortunately, it was not a championship fight, otherwise he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Lin Yun smiled and acquiesced in his statement, "It's just that my heart is stronger......
In the CCTV studio, famous football commentators Zhang Lu and Xu Yang also commented on the first half of the game.
"Both teams didn't play at full strength, they both played very cautiously and they were afraid of the opposition's attack.
The other one is all going for the championship, so they won't go all out.
England counter-attacking to play more Italian than Italy also reflects a trend in the world at the moment.
England's forward line was intimidating, but they didn't get their full momentum at the beginning, and as we saw it, they could score goals as soon as they started.
Lin Yun is still the same Lin Yun, all teams in the Premier League and the Champions League can't find a defender who can really defend him, and it is estimated that they can't find ...... in the World Cup."
'The Italian defence has exposed very big problems, as well as individual qualities.
Andrea Pirlo is strong in attack but lacking in defence.
England's weakness lies in his two-man midfield, with Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson behind and centre-backs before him. ”
Xu Yang bluntly said that this was the most exciting half-time goal since the start of the World Cup, "These two goals fully show the technical characteristics of the two teams, and Italy does have experience in playing tactics."
This is the most exciting 45 minutes since the start of the World Cup, the tactical confrontation is very good, England plays a defensive counterattack, Rooney's position changes more, but we also see later, Lin Yun seems to have changed positions with Rooney, Rooney went to the front, and Lin Yun became a free man to play.
That's how he played in the Champions League final, and it worked very well, maybe Hodgson can refer to it, maybe there will be surprises. ”
Hodgson seemed to hear Xu Yang's words, and said to Lin Yun: "Lin, move back in the second half, let Wayne rush forward, you ...... Well, free to play. ”
Everyone looked at the old man in surprise.
Good guys, free to play...... What kind of tactic is this?
Hodgson also reacted immediately, which seemed a little irresponsible, and quickly remedied: "I need you to revitalize our front, strengthen our impact in this area from midfield to the opponent's penalty area, use your speed, if necessary, you can try to shoot from a distance, as long as you are active, their midfield will be contained......"
Italy uses the top Milan forward and backward set, and the offensive center is in Pirlo, Hodgson obviously wants to add a burden to Pirlo and contribute more on defense.
On the other hand, the tactics of the Italian team in the second half also revolved around how to limit Lin Yun.
Naturally, this issue is not being taken seriously now, and the defensive plan is naturally not coming up now, but needs to be constantly emphasized and strengthened.
De Rossi hadn't come out of the goal he had conceded, and muttered: "It is said that when God closes one of your doors, he will open a window for you, but his window has been opened, which door did God close his?" ”
Pirlo patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about such a disgusting question, do you know now?" Some people are born to be the darlings of God......"
"Who?" Before he could finish speaking, De Rossi retorted, "Ronaldo and Van Basten? Injury-ridden! Messi and Maradona? Height is a hard injury! They are perfect enough, but they still have weaknesses and shortcomings! But what about the guy on the other side, who told me what his weakness was? Body? Technology? Psychology? ”
Pirlo was speechless, but he also knew that he couldn't let this kind of thought breed again, and said patiently: "As long as you are human, you will have weaknesses, if you don't feel it, it's just that you haven't found it!" All you need to do now is find it and defeat him, instead of desperately thinking about how powerful and invincible the other person is at such an important time. ”
De Rossi rubbed his face, shook his head, forcibly threw the negative emotions out of his head, and was full of fighting spirit again, "I know, they haven't won yet, and we haven't lost yet." ”
Naturally, Pradley also noticed the change in Lin Yun's position at the end of the first half.
He didn't know if it was Lin Yun's own initiative or Hodgson's arrangement, but he thought that after tasting the sweetness, England would definitely do it again in the second half, so he immediately adjusted his defensive strategy.
You need someone who can run all over the field with Lin Yun, and at the same time, you have to set up a lot of defense lines to prevent him from rushing up.
At the beginning of the second half, Lin Yun was left with only De Rossi by his side, and Barzagli finally relieved himself and returned to the position of central defender.
There was one less personal bodyguard, but the pressure Lin Yun felt became greater.
It's as if the attention of every Italian around you is on you.
Not to mention holding the ball, as long as the ball is ready to pass, the surrounding Italian players immediately run with all their physical strength, trying every means to cut off the passing path between their teammates and him.
Lin Yun was also on fire.
In the 52nd minute of the game, as soon as Gerrard got the ball, he reached forward and pointed forward.
Don't pass it to my feet, hit it ahead!
Team Jie understood, although he still passed the ball to Lin Yun, but gave an outrageous amount of advance.
De Rossi secretly complained to himself, hurriedly used his hands and feet, and pulled up against Lin Yun.
Lin Yun stretched out his hand to block, brushed his hand away, and then ejected on the spot, chasing the football that fell more than five meters in front of him.
Verratti was closer to the football, but seeing Lin Yun sprinting, he didn't even have the courage to pass back, he just wanted to catch up with the football quickly and then break the ball out of bounds.
But Lin Yun didn't even give him this opportunity.
Hasten! Hasten! Overtake! Raw! Hit the ball hard and throw the meteor in stride!
Thousands of miles to ride alone!
