Chapter 1153, the captain's responsibility!
Looking at the excited celebration of the English players on the field, Yun Sheng on the sidelines squeezed the water bottle hard.
This goal was really sudden......
In fact, from the team's 3-1 onwards, everyone's defense has done a good job, although the players are a little conservative and want to be more stable, but this is not wrong, Yunsheng also acquiesced to the flexible adjustment of the players on the field, which was allowed by Yunsheng during training.
But whether it's Gerrard's long-range shot just now, or Henderson's follow-up shot now, it's all a big element of luck, not a problem with the players.
But conceding a goal is conceding a goal, in the face of such a resilient England team, Yun Sheng can only be convinced, and now his biggest worry is that the Italian players must not be discouraged, if the momentum goes down, then this game will really be over.
At this time, he shouted the names of the players from the sidelines, but few could hear his voice.
In the cheers and celebrations of England fans, Yun Sheng's shouts were like a drop in the ocean, insignificant.
Despite this, the Italian players on the pitch gathered around and were warming up.
In particular, the three captains, Piero, Gianluigi Buffon and De Rossi, all cheered their team-mates on loudly.
"Now there is still time until the end of the game, we can come back again!"
Piero was cheering his team-mates on, Gianluigi Buffon was chatting with the defenders and De Rossi called Pirlo and Marchisio to his side to discuss tactics.
On the side of the court, Yunsheng was also thinking quickly about the next strategy.
Now the game is 86 minutes and the game is restarted.
After the restart, Andrea Pirlo and Marchisio took on the defensive role, allowing De Rossi to press as high as possible and help the attack.
Because of the injury of left-back Chiellini, Yunsheng replaced him with Grosso, and arranged for Grosso to use his abundant physical strength to press as much as possible to help the attack.
A minute later, Yunsheng replaced Montolivo as well.
After being hit by Gerrard's heavy shelling, Montolivo kept clutching his chest and his running speed was much slower, which was obviously affected.
Speedy player Giovinco was substituted for Montolivo as a right-hand striker, and Yunsheng will be hoping he can continue to attack the England defence.
On the England side, Welbeck, who had a bit of a decline in fitness, was replaced by Carroll, a standard English centre-forward, and after replacing him, England's tactics became more concise and clear, and the traditional long ball rushing has become their main tactic now.
After all, they equalised and now they need to settle down.
Both sides used up three substitutions, and it was the 89th minute of the game, when the fourth official raised his card and stopped three minutes of stoppage time.
Cannavaro on the sidelines whispered, "Looks like we're going to have to think about extra time in advance......"
Speed frowned: "Four days later it's the semi-finals, the Germans have two more days off than us, and if we play extra time, we will be even more physically behind them, which is bad. ”
Although the situation was very tense at this time, Yun Sheng on the side smiled: "Guys, now that the game is scorching, you guys will think about the semi-finals in advance?" ”
"We're going to win this game!"
Looking at Speed's sworn appearance, Yun Sheng also nodded firmly: "I have a hunch, maybe we don't have to wait for overtime......
By this time, the second minute of stoppage time had come to the end, and the end of the game was getting closer and closer.
Now Italy is in possession, and the new Giovinco's excellent dribbling skills, coupled with his excellent physical fitness when he has just been uploaded, made England's defense extremely difficult to swim like a fish in England's half.
And in the position close to the penalty area, England players do not dare to take their feet easily, after all, the England team has many free kick players, and it will be troublesome to easily kick a free kick at this time.
Giovinco dribbled down the right flank and was in front of England left-back Ashley Cole.
Once, Cole was known as the "world's No. 1 left-back" by his fans, and he was well-known in England.
Although this title is debatable, in the heyday of Arsenal, Cole's ability to attack and defend at both ends was indeed the world's top, and Cole at his peak was at least the top three in the world, if not the first.
However, facing this strong Italian team today, he has struggled a lot, especially in attack, and he has no more energy to press frequently.
By this time, 90 minutes had passed, and he was also running out of energy in defence, with centre-back Lescott leaning to the left frequently to help defence. Kerr desperately held the box behind him and didn't give Giovinco a chance to cut inside.
At this moment, Giovinco suddenly got up!
Instead of shooting, he opted for passing!
At this point he alone attracted the attention of two defenders, and the other side of England was empty!
The ball went straight to the left, and Grosso, who had just come on the field, quickly stepped forward and received the ball!
He dribbled into the box! Terry in the middle is close to Balotelli and does not let the Italian center forward have any possibility of receiving the ball!
Glenn Johnson hurriedly stepped forward and pressed!
In the 2006 World Cup, Grosso chose to break through in this position, and after passing a person, he created a very important penalty!
It was because of that penalty that Italy narrowly defeated Australia 1-0 and took an important step on the road to winning the championship!
At this point, Glen Johnson didn't take it easy, he just stood in position and was given any chance of cutting inside and shooting by him!
Grosso's sudden change of direction is nothing but a feint!
He didn't shoot and opted for a pass!
The inverted triangle is passed to the top of the arc of the penalty area!
Who's there?
The captains of both teams are at the top of the arc of the penalty area!
Gerrard was half a body slower, and he simply put his foot down to put the tackle, preferring to risk a foul than let Piero get the ball!
But Piero was a step faster, he accelerated forward, and he didn't stop the ball and burst into shots!
Piero kicked the ball first!
Curveball! Straight to the near corner!
Joe Hart made a save, but he didn't touch the ball......
The ball went in!!
Piero fired a powerful left-footed volley into the net, but his right leg was brought down by Gerrard......
Amid the excited cheers of the Italian fans in the stadium, Piero fell to the ground and felt a lot of pain in his right foot.
But he couldn't be happier in his heart!
The moment he kicked the ball, he knew it was clear that Italy were in the last four!
Falling to the ground, the ground and the sky were reversed, and he saw the Yunsheng crowd next to the Italian coach's seat, cheering excitedly and shouting wildly!
He was thrilled to see tens of thousands of Italian fans in the stands celebrating wildly!
He saw his teammates hugging each other excitedly, enjoying the excitement of taking the lead again!
In the 45th minute of the second half, I finally scored!
I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a captain!
