Chapter 263 Horror! The flying golden boy
September 8th is 18:55!
The full Wembley Stadium suddenly set off a stormy wave!
Under the leadership of the referee on duty, 22 players on both sides each lead a pink and cute little caddie out of the player channel. In the 8th round of Group E of the 2008 European Cup qualifiers, England's home game against the Israeli national team is about to start!
The national anthem of Israel echoed over the court. The players on the lawn, the coaches on the sidelines and about 1,000 Israelis stood up and sang the national anthem with the music with a solemn expression!
More than 80,000 enthusiastic English fans at Wembley Stadium are silent for the first time!
This is a kind of respect for opponents and the self-esteem of proud English gentlemen!
Then, the melody of "God Save the Queen" began to surge in every part of the court, and the chorus of 80,000 people's ** conference was shocking... The person who explained the game on the spot was the famous "British Jypran" Sester, and his partner was the former legendary center of the England team, Gary Reinkel!
"...Madman Li finally announced his starting lineup. Let's see if there will be a surprise..." Sester began to warm up to the audience in front of the TV: "... The goalkeeper is Carson from Aston Villa. Since Lee's second-phase England list was shocked, Carson has become the starting goalkeeper. It is also expected that the 22-year-old goalkeeper is much more beautiful than the data handed over by the other two competitors after the five rounds of the Premier League..."
"... The defender line from left to right is Ashley Cole, John Terry, Leo Ferdinand and Gary Neville... Well, this defense line is indeed the strongest lineup of England at present..." Reinkel followed Sester's words: "The midfielder is Owen Hargreave from Manchester United. S, the forwards on both sides are Downing and Gerrard, captain Beckham appeared in the midfield, and the forward line is..."
By the side of Reinkel, Sester exclaimed first: "Oh, God, Michael Owen? Is it really Owen? This is incredible. Although we all hope that Michael can appear on the field, you should know that due to injuries, he has only played for Newcastle for less than 30 minutes in six long games this season... Just as the two commentators were shocked to set off the atmosphere, the game on the field was about to begin. It's done!
Force-force-force~~~ Ivan Bibank, the referee from Croatia, blew the whistle at the beginning of the game!
The visiting Israel national team took the lead in kicking off!
The middle circle of the court!
A 19-year-old player from Sporting Lisbon dragged - Tamuz knocked the football back, and the two sides officially fought!
Once again, there was a huge cheer in the stands. After singing the national anthem, the fans opened their voices and shouted for a while, they sat back to their chairs contentedly and watched the game carefully!
Israel has set up a 4-2-1-21 formation, and the 19-year-old young player Tamuz is alone in the front!
Liverpool's demon knife Benayong and the 21-year-old side player Rafinoff, who plays for Maccabi in Haifa, are on both sides, and the other eight players are sticking to their own half... It seems that Israeli coach Kashtan is a bastard - he is determined to play defense with the madman Li!
Because the result of the game is very important to both sides, both teams played carefully at the beginning. After the Israeli team got the ball, they patiently turned their feet in the first half. The advantage in terms of the number of defenders allowed them to avoid the rush of Owen and Rooney!
In addition, Li Tongfan did not set the front waist in this game, and the 4-1-3-2 formation also reduced the pressure on the Israeli team in the first half to a certain extent!
"... It seems that Kashtan and the madman Li both focused on the defensive end. Three minutes before the game, the rhythm was relatively slow..." The dullness of the scene made the commentator Sester unconsciously shift the topic to other aspects: "Gary, what do you think of Owen's starting phenomenon? I also noticed a problem that Chelsea's deputy captain Lampard did not appear in the starting list of this game..."
Commentator partner Reinkel shook his head: "To be honest, I also can't understand the arrangement of the madman Lee. Middlesbrough wingers Downing and Michael Owen entered the first surprise, and Lampard's fall was even more surprising... Five minutes before the game, Owen touched the ball three times, Downing had eight times, this The same data can only be regarded as ordinary... Oh, let's look at this attack first..."
A sudden attack by the Israeli team after falling behind the field caused a shout in the stands and interrupted Reinker's analysis of the game!
On the field!
Chelsea scavenger Ben-Haim's side road straight plug accurately found Benayong. Liverpool's demon knife did not stop the ball in the first time, but shook a false shot. After leaning on Downing, he suddenly turned around. An extremely wonderful man's ball broke the England team's defense... Benayong's nickname is Israel Spirit Cat, this body Although the side players with a height of 1.73 meters are thin and weak, their feet are excellent. The sudden pause and ability to change in the high-speed dribbling are first-class in the Premier League, and they are the number one star of the Israeli national team!
After the man's ball was erased by Downing, Benayong stabilized the ball and slowly pressed forward!
England's left-back Ashley Cole and Benayong have played against the Premier League many times. They dare not neglect. They quickly stepped forward to compress the space and firmly blocked the breakthrough route of the Israeli Spirit Cat!
Benayong was not in a hurry to break through, but observed his teammates' running position while playing the football and cutting it into the middle of the court!
Ashley Cole grabbed it!
Benayong suddenly stepped on the football and pulled it back, accelerated the ball, and broke through from the outside... Too bad!
If it is broken through by Benayong again, the left side of the England team will become a smooth road!
Ashley Cole had to reach out and grab Benayong's jersey and pulled it fiercely... The cunning Israeli spirit cat took the opportunity to fall... Force~~~~ Free kick!
It is about 45 meters away from the English goal, but because the position is very close to the left side, the direct shot is not a threat, so Israel decided to take a free kick to cooperate!
The free kick is Benayong!
The Israeli national team left four defensive players in its backcourt, and the others rushed to England's penalty area to answer... The whistle sounded, Beneryong made a beautiful arc on his left foot, and the football fluttered into England's penalty area!
Will this goal be scored?
More than 80,000 lions and more than 1,000 Israeli players in the stands stood up nervously from their seats... "... Benayong's free kick entered the penalty area... Leo Ferdinand took the lead to push the football out and landed at the feet of David Beckham. The young player Raffinov grabbed it at the first time. Beckham couldn't make a long pass. He pushed his arch to Rooney on the right side of the court... Rooney asked a defender to tell him to break in... The chance to counterattack came..."
On the field!
Rooney took the ball along the left sideline of the court at high speed!
The four defenders of the Israeli national team who stayed in the backcourt before Benayong's free kick played a role. After Rooney crossed the middle line, someone immediately came to block his way forward!
Rooney looked up to observe his teammate's running route!
On the left side of the court, Owen, the former chasing teenager, plugged in like lightning!
Unfortunately, two Israeli guards more than 1.9 meters tall are ready in front of him!
is not a good opportunity!
But other than that, because Rooney's forward insertion speed is too fast, no other teammates have followed! The midfielder Beckham is not the kind of player that Lampard will insert at the first time of the counterattack... After a moment of hesitation, Rooney chose to pass the ball!
Football is like a white arrow, cutting through the sky from Rooney's feet, crossing more than half of the stadium, and flying towards Michael Owen's running route... However, at this time, Owen has fallen into the bag of two tall Israeli players!
"... Rooney chose to pass the ball? In this case, he can actually continue to break through. With his ability, he may be able to find a chance to shoot... It's a pity..." Commentator Reinker was obviously a little disappointed: "... Owen fell into the Israeli muscle forest. If it was Michael Owen in the past, maybe... Oh, God, he flew. Get up..."
Sester and Reinkel were stunned by the scene in front of them... More than 80,000 fans in the stands were also shocked by the scene on the court, so that the two of the fanatical fans' best applause and cheers were not sent out at the first time... What happened?
On the court!
In the incredible pupil of Ben-Haim, the core of Israel's rear defense, a stubborn figure who "flyed" away from the ground was clearly printed!
Michael Owen!!!
In the lightning-like high-speed running, Owen suddenly jumped up, as if a pair of invisible huge wings were inserted behind him. With the huge impulse of running, he jumped up in the air, grabbed the head of two Israeli defenders who were 20 centimeters higher than him, and gently lit the football out... Then, he gently "slid" forward. About rice... Horrible stagnation ability!
Is this still Michael Owen, who has been injured and staggering in the past two seasons?
The whole site is petrified!
"...wow,wow,wow!!! Unbelievable, Michael Owen!!!!! The Golden Boy took off at Wembley Stadium..." Finally, the reacting commentator Sester broke his chin with his hand and roared hard: "... The defender of the Israeli team has no time to chase back, God, the terrible speed, this is the real lightning killer!!! He came back... He entered the penalty area, leaving only one defensive player, and Rooney asked for the ball on the other side..."
Boom~~~~Until this moment, Wembley Stadium was like a volcano that had been brewing for a long time, and finally erupted!
Owen's wonderful performance made the enthusiasm released by the fans cover every corner of the court in an instant... on the court!
Owen saw Rooney raising his hand for the ball, but at this moment he chose to do it alone, because a long-lost magnificent force filled his limbs and bones!
For the first time in two years, Owen has been so confident in the face of a defender!
The body is extremely flexible, and the injured and stiff knees have also returned to youth!
It's a very simple fake move, but it was used in Owen's high-speed running, which easily shook off the center of gravity of the last Israeli player!
And in this series, Owen's feet didn't even touch the football!
Whether it's the opponent in front of you or the fans in the stands, there is only one feeling - fast!
It's too fast!
Incredibly fast!
Fast and no time to react!
Looking at the defender in front of him staggering into the penalty area as if he were drunk, Owen had no expression on his face and concentrated all his strength on his right foot!
Boom!
Hit the football with the instep!
In a trance, it was like something reborn through the cocoon, shocking the soul!
The football turned into a white lightning and roared past the ear of Israeli goalkeeper Awat and rushed into the goal!
This kick shot away the humiliation and ridicule of two years, three months, six days, 18 hours and 53 minutes!
This kick announces the return of a long-lost king!
At 19:08 p.m. on September 8, 2007, on the lawn in the middle of the suddenly quiet Wmbley Stadium, 28-year-old Michael Owen's right index finger stood up proudly!
It's like a triumphant god of war, accepting the worship of believers...
