Chapter 256: Above the Ball King, the Cloud God is unmatched
England beat Germany 5-0 to reach the final of the European Championship against Portugal.
Compared to England's experience of beating France first and then Germany, Portugal's opponents on the way to qualification are weaker, with Poland in the quarters and Wales in the semi-finals.
One was a narrow penalty win, and the other was a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to the usual practice, the media should have hyped this game into the pinnacle of the decisive battle between Lin Yun and Ronaldo, but when they looked at the data, there was really no way to hype it.
Ronaldo has 3 goals and 3 assists, Lin Yun has 17 goals and 2 assists, and if you have to rub it hard, it will be too obvious to touch the porcelain......
In all the excitement, the day of the game was fast approaching.
Saint-Denis, Stade de France.
England qualified for the semi-finals by a narrow goal over the hosts and returned to the familiar venue after a few days.
Portugal drew three times in a row in the group stage and almost missed out on the round of 16, but they were lucky enough to avoid many old powerhouses in the top half of the group, creating favorable conditions for the final final.
Portugal performed very well in the knockout stages, beating Croatia in extra time, knocking out Poland on penalties, beating Wales 2-0 in the semi-finals, and meeting England in the final.
England topped the group stage without a strong opponent, and then beat Iceland and France in the knockout rounds, and beat World Cup runners-up Germany in the semi-finals.
Although Portugal's entry into the final is not too much of an upset, it is undoubtedly a bit unexpected compared to the traditional powerhouses such as Germany, Italy, France and Spain, which are more powerful and have more heritage, and the probability of England winning in this final is indeed higher, but ......
Every 12 years since 1992, the European Championship has produced an unexpected champion, most notably the 1992 Danish Fairy Tale and the 2004 Greek Mythology! I wonder if Portugal will be able to inherit this tradition and become another miracle in the history of football......"
"Either win for either team will make new history, as neither England nor Portugal have ever played the European Championship and their best result is only runners-up!"
"Celebrities from both sides were present to witness this historic moment, with David Beckham, Shearer, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Figo, Rui Costa ......"
In the player tunnel, Lin Yun and Ronaldo both wore captain's armbands and stood at the front of their respective teams.
The two nodded to each other, and then stared blankly and without squinting.
Their eyes are full of confidence.
'Both teams set up in a 4-4-2 formation.
Let's start with Portugal.
Goalkeepers: 1-Patricio;
Defenders: 21-Cedric, 3-Pepe, 4-Fonte, 5-Guerrero;
Midfielders: 16-Sanchez, 14-William Carvalho, 23-Adrien, 10-Joao Mario;
Forwards: 17-Nani, 7-Ronaldo.
Look at England's starting line-up.
Goalkeepers: 1-Joe Hart;
Defender: 2-Glenn. Johnson, 6-Smarin, 5-Gary. Cahill, 3-Luke. Resemble;
Midfielders: 7 Wilshere, 14 Walcott, 19 Sterling, 10 Rooney;
Forwards: 11-Kane, 9-Lin Yun. β
"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game officially begins."
The two sides started the game more cautiously, with the football mainly circling in the midfield.
Lin Yun did not go up front with Kane, but retreated to the midfield to participate in the organization.
Under his command, England quickly gained the upper hand, leading possession and completing two shots on goal.
Portugal soon got a chance as well.
In the 8th minute of the game, Ronaldo swayed Wilshire on a bicycle in a row, passed Nani diagonally, and Nani hit the penalty area and shot wide.
The goal didn't go in, but it gave hope to the Portuguese.
Very good, there are offensive and defensive against each other, on par.
A false sense of "we and England are on the same page" suddenly rose in the minds of all Portuguese fans, but they soon found themselves happy too soon.
In fact, the only reason why Portugal didn't concede a goal in the first 10 minutes was that Lin Yun didn't have an appetite for the time being.
It's not because Martinez's Galactic Stomach Guard team that Martinest has formed for him has turned him into a vegetarian, but Rooney's near-stealth in the semi-finals has been holding his breath, and today he has a strong desire to perform, and he frequently rushed to the front.
Lin Yun has always been helpful, so he naturally had to pave the way for him, and he passed two good through balls for him twice in the opening five minutes.
It's a pity that Chubby is not angry, one is offside, and the other is.
After that, Walcott, Sterling and Kane also tried their feet, but Lin Yun could only shake his head again and again after seeing it, "Okay, I really have to rely on me to save the world." β
"In the 17th minute of the game, the possession ratio between the two sides was about 70% to 30%, and the shot ratio was 5 to 1, and England firmly held the upper hand!"
"Look at this ball...... Walcourt forced Sanchez to fail and passed the ball back to Wilshere, Wilshere made a long pass to the front point, Rooney's header was ferried, and Lin Yun cleverly leaked the ball! β
Rooney pushed the ball hard at Lin Yun, and then immediately stepped forward, thinking that Lin Yun would continue to help him set up a turret and pass the ball back, but Lin Yun suddenly bent down and let the ball fly over his head.
Carvalho, who was defending him, was caught off guard and watched the football fly past him.
Lin Yun turned around and chased the ball.
Carvalho immediately reached out and grabbed the hem of Lin Yun's jersey, but before he could exert himself, the jersey in his hand had already slipped out.
"Lin Yun caught up with the football, he was so fast that he looked like he was about to fly!"
"Speed eats Adrion raw!"
"The ball is over Guerrero!"
"Pepe is coming up......"
Pepe attacked with the hope of the whole village and faced the enemy head-on, Lin Yun also reduced his speed with great face, and then stepped on the bicycle frantically in front of him.
One at a time, two down, three times......
After eight consecutive cycles, Pepe was so shaken that he couldn't find the north, staggering like he was drunk.
Lin Yun immediately flicked the ball to his right side, Pepe stretched out his foot reflexively, but Lin Yun suddenly pulled the ball to the left.
Pepe had already lost his center of gravity, so he stopped eating and twisted himself to the ground.
However, as soon as he delayed like this, Carvalho, who had just been passed, chased him again, but as soon as he got close to Lin Yun, Lin Yun disappeared with a "biu" sound.
was about to step on the penalty line, Cedric and goalkeeper Patricio were waiting for the goal, but they didn't expect Lin Yun to suddenly kick the goal.
There was no aim, no aiming, no deliberate run, just a sudden kick in the middle of dribbling.
The soccer ball burst out of the air like a cannon.
As soon as the ball left his feet, Lin Yun knew that it was there.
However, this time he did not dare to play the early celebration game, but stood still and watched the football fly towards the Portuguese goal.
The soccer ball drew an eerie S-shaped arc in the air.
Patricio's gaze followed the football, his head spun around, but his body couldn't react, which was extremely funny.
ββ¦β¦ Lin Yun suddenly hit the goal, and the ball went in! England lead 1-0! β
βGOALοΌοΌοΌ Lin curled the ball into the goal, England broke the deadlock and finally turned the advantage into a goal! It's time for Ronaldo to try! β
Lin Yun ran to the sidelines, knelt and glided for a while, then stood up again, opened his arms, and accepted the cheers.
Prevail on the field, lead in the score, England will win!
After the game continued, the Portuguese team had no choice but to attack with all their might, and England struggled for a while, holding up their three-board axe and then starting to bombard again.
In the 25th minute of the game, Luke Shaw passed the ball over the top from the side and ran along the side.
Lin Yun, Kane and Walcott immediately turned around and burst into the Portuguese penalty area.
Raheem Sterling quickly connected two people and brought the ball to the ribs of the penalty area, Lin Yun stopped and turned, the intention was to take away the defenders, so that Sterling could find an angle and quickly kick it, but he didn't expect this kid to be wrong, and kicked the ball over with a low pass.
Lin Yun hurriedly stretched out his foot and stepped on it, played Pepe with a clever Marseille sleuver, and then passed to Walcott diagonally.
Walcoat didn't mean to shoot from a zero angle, and went straight to Kane near the six-yard penalty area.
Kane received the ball and quickly pulled it to the side, dodged Font's press, and then picked the ball into the space on the right side of the goal.
He didn't see anyone, but he was sure that Lin Yun would appear there in the next second.
Lin Yun didn't live up to his trust, and soon killed like lightning, jumping high, and the demon kicked in a flying way.
βGOALοΌ Fantastic goal!
Several of England's attacking players were in the Portuguese penalty area, tricking the Portuguese defenders like monkey walkers, and finally Lin Yun made the final decision.
With such technology and such a tacit understanding, who will win if they don't win the championship?! β
"Clever escape, flexible positioning, flying kicks and goals, all in one go! Who will stop him? Who can stop him?! β
Lin Yun beckoned and ran to the coach's seat with his teammates to celebrate.
England fans around the world are already celebrating the victory in advance.
If there is still suspense in this game, it is probably how many ...... England can win
It's 2-0, and Portugal is almost cornered.
Fans can only pray now that Ronaldo will come down to earth and once again step up in a desperate situation and lead the team to counterattack.
Portugal completely let go and began to press the onslaught, and England did not get used to them anymore, and also responded with a frantic attack.
The two sides went back and forth, bringing a fierce attacking football for everyone, but it was not possible to change the score until the end of the first half.
At the start of the second half, Portugal made a substitution.
Quaresma replaces Adrien, Portugal switches to three strikers!
'At the start of the second half, Martinez used up a substitution...... Look at this attack of theirs...... Pretty two-in-a-one! Straight stopper! Cristiano Ronaldo! Here's your chance! β
Cristiano Ronaldo picked up the ball sideways near the six-yard box, but Smalling and Cahill immediately kept him at bay.
"Here!"
Just as he was about to force his feet, Quaresma's voice suddenly came from behind him.
Without saying a word, heel passing.
"Not good!"
Smalling stepped forward to fill in and made a friendly tackle on Quaresma, but unfortunately he was still a step too late.
Quares' non-stop shot at goal.
A signature outside instep shot.
The ball arced into the top left corner of the goal, and Joe Hart pounced and saved the ball with one hand.
But the crisis for England has not been resolved.
Because football flew to Cristiano Ronaldo......
Cristiano Ronaldo got up and made a gesture to hit the goal, and Cahill was really fooled and stretched out his feet to intercept.
Cristiano Ronaldo pulled the ball back, dodged the tackle and easily slotted the empty goal.
2-1, the suspense returns.
Cristiano Ronaldo ran into the goal to get the ball out, and Portugal regained their morale, but they began to suffer again.
England is much more determined.
They seemed to forget that they were the lead and didn't know what defense was, and continued to play frantically after the game started.
In the 52nd minute, Wilshere split the side at the back, and Luke. Xiao plugged in to get the ball, quickly rushed across the halfway line, and made a low cross to find Lin Yun.
Lin Yun passed the ball with his back, and rode alone from the middle with the ball.
Carvalho's frontal shovel was quickly dodged by Lin Yun, and the four defenders rushed directly up, forming a net and rushing towards him.
Lin Yun's speed did not decrease, and he moved left and right in the human ball with the ball, and then magically fought his way out of the encirclement.
ββ¦β¦ Lin Yun has passed five people in a row and got a single chance! β
"Patricio strikes! Lin Yun's pendulum style passed, and Patricio was shaken to the ground! β
βGOALοΌοΌοΌ Another hat-trick in the final, England 3-1, once again turned the lead into two goals! β
Lin Yun ran to the sidelines, jumped on the billboard, and opened his hands to accept the cheers and worship of the fans!
The England team ran up behind him and did what they did in the World Cup final.
Get down on one knee and bow down to the King!
After 3-1, the Portuguese team did not give up their efforts and continued to try, but the England team began to become pragmatic and began to play defensive counter-attacks.
In the 70th minute of the game, Ronaldo took the ball in the middle and made a one-two with Nani, forcing his feet 30 meters away, and the football was blocked by the defender with his body.
In the 76th minute of the game, Oxlade-Chamberlain, who replaced Walcott, picked up the right side of the goal, and Lin Yun pressed Pepe's header on the crossbar.
In the 85th minute of the game, Quaresma shot a cold arrow with his instep outside the penalty area, and the ball was deflected off the left side of the goal.
In the 90th minute of the game, Lin Yun passed three people in a long pass to the penalty area, Kane hung the golden hook upside down, and the football flew into the goalkeeper's arms......
"Beep! Beep! Beep! β
"It's over! Congratulations to England on their historic European Championship victory! β
"Lin Yun scored a hat-trick again, scoring 20 goals in seven games, also creating a new history!"
"In this way, in just three years, the England team won the World Cup and the European Cup under the leadership of Lin Yun, and Lin Yun also achieved the Grand Slam of his career!"
The camera focuses on the old horse and Pele on the sidelines.
The two champions stood side by side, smiling and applauding.
