[Messi! 】

【Run!】 】

【Direct Shot!】 】

[The ball was saved by the goalkeeper!] 】

[Messi did not pass the ball, but chose to shoot directly! ] 】

[The ball arcs and flies towards the near corner of the goal!] 】

[England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford's attention is very focused! 】

[Fly and save the ball!] 】

Stones cleared the ball and fell into Argentina's grasp.

Without much transmission, Argentina quickly distributed the ball to the right and reorganized the attack.

The wing-backs' aggressive forward pressure gave Argentina six attackers up front, which kept England pressed near the line of the penalty area.

When an overload was formed on the right flank, this time it was Alvarez who dropped back to receive the ball and swam it to Di Maria's feet.

Southgate stood in the command area, his right hand touching his chin, lost in thought.

Argentina is determined to play on their right side, and Di Maria, with the help of his teammates, can easily form a 1v1 situation.

Kyle Walker's individual defense ability is not bad, and he is not slow to turn and chase back.

But he was pinned down by Di Maria and had no way to get in on the attack.

Not only was he unable to get in on the attack, but even Marcus Rashford was forced to come back and get involved in defence.

England's right flank, completely losing its forward momentum.

"Hey, Jordan, press forward!"

The captain of the Red Army immediately understood what the commander meant and nodded at him.

Di Maria once again tried to get past near the baseline, but was unable to break through with Kyle Walker and Marcus Rashford, and had to switch the ball to midfield first.

As soon as McAllister got the ball, Henderson immediately pounced and formed a trap with Rice.

Argentina were outnumbered in the middle and McAllister was without team-mates to support him and quickly returned possession to England.

Once possession was converted, Marcus Rashford sent the ball over the top from the back and Henderson stepped forward to attack Argentina on the left.

With the left-back attacking without time to return to the defense, McAllister had to play back to the defense.

[This is England's chance to attack!] 】

[Henderson is chasing!] 】

[Pass it to the door!] 】

【Header!!! 】

With a commotion from behind the goal, Kane's header was brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Martinez.

In this World Cup, Martinez can be called a world-class goalkeeper.

In the penalty shootout with the Netherlands, he saved Van Dijk and Berghuis penalty kicks successively, laying a strong psychological foundation for Argentina's promotion.

After clearing the shot, the defenders stepped forward to hug Martinez and let out a victor's roar.

England take a corner kick that was picked up by Martinez with both hands.

In response to Argentina's attack, Southgate immediately adjusted his defensive deployment.

Rossi moved to the central striker position, and Kane formed a midfield five in a position similar to that of a midfielder.

With defensive width, Di Maria can't easily form a 1v1 on the flanks when the opponent moves the ball again.

As the defensive intensity increased, England's possession rate also gradually increased.

The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and the counter-attack after losing the ball was very fast, even if it was a foul, it never gave the opponent a chance to advance with the ball.

In the 21st minute, England instigated an attack on the right, and Kane came to the right to press the Argentine defense on the left.

With Argentina not pressing aggressively up front, Henderson could easily take the ball out of the backfield and distribute it to Kane.

McAllister stepped forward to press, and Kane and Kyle Walker, who stepped forward, completed a one-two to break through the Argentine midfielder.

Marcus Rashford has already cut forward along the flanks to draw the defenders in defence.

Harry Kane didn't give the ball to the wings in the moments after getting rid of it, but passed directly over the top and hit the space behind the Argentine centre-back.

Otamendi had been following Rossi closely, not daring to be careless.

While playing for Manchester City, he was beaten to the ground by Rossi's ghostly movement.

This time on the stage of the World Cup, he did not take his eyes off Rossi for a moment.

When Harry Kane passed, Otamendi almost started with Rossi.

But just moments later, he was left behind by Rosie.

It's only been a few months, how can his speed get faster again?

Otamendi only felt a chill run down his back, and he knew all too well what the consequences of losing a defence could have on his team.

He chased back like crazy, but always half a body behind Rossi.

Approaching the edge of the penalty area, Otamendi finally caught up with Rossi and squeezed the right side of Rossi's body with his body to interfere with him.

Rossi's speed slowed down due to his interference, and Otamendi saw that he was getting closer to the ball, and immediately reached out and poked forward.

It's a reasonable way to defend.

If Rossi hadn't interfered with it strongly, he still had a chance to get up and shoot.

But he never thought that Rosie leaned over his body.

Otamendi's outstretched foot poke the ball went straight to tripping Rossi from behind.

This is full of heart...... No, it's experience.

Drip!

The referee's whistle blew and his right hand pointed to twelve yards.

Penalty kick!

The stadium suddenly boiled.

The Argentine fans used vulgar language and scolded Rossi.

There were also many fans who threw debris into the stadium to express their dissatisfaction.

[England gets a penalty!] 】

[At the beginning of the game, Argentina also had a chance! ] 】

[It's just that the referee ruled through the AVR, not a penalty!] 】

[Now is England's chance!] 】

[Who is the penalty?] 】

[Harry Kane?] 】

Kane on the pitch, with the ball in his arms, did not go to the penalty spot.

Instead, he whispered to Rosie beside him.

Rossi looked at him with some surprise, then at Southgate on the sidelines, as if asking for advice.

[It seems that Kane is going to give up the penalty right!] 】

[In the game with France, Kane hit one of two free throws, almost letting England end the World Cup journey early! ] 】

[Now it's the finals, and the pressure is even greater!] 】

After brief deliberations between Gareth Southgate and David Beckham, it was agreed that the penalty taker should be replaced by Rossi.

"It's up to you!"

Kane handed the ball to Rossi, his eyes unwavering.

Rosie nodded, walking towards the twelve-yard.

Facing Martinez, who saved two penalties in the penalty shoot-out against the Netherlands, Rossi carefully placed the ball and took a few steps back to wait for the whistle.

But what he heard was a "cordial and friendly" greeting from the Argentine fans behind the goal.

With boos and flag waving, they tried to interfere with Rossi.

Drip!

Whistle blows!

run up

Shot!

Rossi used a feint to trick goalkeeper Martinez into a left-hand pounce.

Actually, he played in the middle.

When Martinez knew that he had been deceived, it was too late, so he could only use all his strength to lift his right foot up.

ball

Hit Martinez right on the top of his foot.

[Pounced!!! 】

【Beautiful!!!! 】

The on-site narrator roared hoarsely, as if he wanted to swallow the microphone in one gulp.

Just as he was about to make a wave of praise for Martinez, he realized that something was wrong.

The ball was blocked, but it was still in front of the goal line.

And Rossi followed up quickly after his first shot was blocked.

[And! 】

[Rossi shoots up! ] 】

[The ball went in!!! 】

【GoAL！！！！！ 】

[England leads Argentina 1:0! ] 】

[There are thrilling penalties!] 】

[Rossi finally scored the penalty!] 】

[Martinez's first reaction was fast enough!] 】

[But! 】

[Rossi's follow-up shot is faster!] 】

Martinez, who was unwilling, kicked the ball into the goal fiercely when he took the ball to vent his dissatisfaction.

Rossi, on the other hand, made a shut-up gesture towards the Argentine fans.

In an instant, all the Argentine fans in the stadium broke out.
