Chapter 308 The beginning of victory The end
"The game has begun! England was the first to kick off..."
Although Brother Duan Xuan's melancholy baritone is still calm, countless Chinese fans who are waiting in front of the TV are suddenly sleepy at this moment. Everyone's first action is to stare at the TV screen to see if they can catch the one who is regarded as a national idol in front of the coach's seat of the Three Lions. The man.
... "Madman Li really used his best 4-1-2 formation. Michael Owen partnered with high school striker Crouch on the front line, and the Blues magic lamp Frank Lampard appeared in the front waist position. The two wings were indeed Steven Downing and Ashley Young"
"...Captain Beckham sits in the back, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Steven Taylor and Manzini are lined up on the guard line. The goalkeeper is Joe Hart who has performed well in Manchester City this season..."
Sester suppressed his surprise and introduced the starting list, turned his head to look at Gary Reinkell, who was also surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Gary, it's a little unexpected starting list. Tell me what you think!"
"Well, it's not surprising that Crouch appeared on the front line due to Rooney's ban. The Liverpool high school striker performed well in the warm-up game and was able to cooperate with Michael Owen tacitly..."
Lingkell expressed his opinion:
"The most surprising thing in the midfield is Gerrard's loser. At present, it seems that the madman Li still prefers a fast and skilled winger like Downing..."
"As for the guard line, it is the most surprising thing. Newcastle rookie King Steven Taylor squeezed out Leo Ferdinand. Isn't the madman Li afraid of the media attacking him for using the power of the national team to rise up his own interests?"
"But this seems to be more in line with the surname of the madman Lee, and it has become the pleasure of this [God] to be right with the media... And after expelling Richards and Neville, Manzini really became the starting right-back! But I guess the right side of the England team will soon become the focus of the Greek team..."
"... As for the goalkeeper, Joe Hart's starting line-up has no suspense. Crazy Lee's love for this young player is well known. Maybe he can really make a super goalkeeper for English football!"
With the cheers in the stands that have not stopped since the beginning of the game, Reinker intermittently interpreted the starting list of the Three Lions according to his own understanding.
It was not until this time that Sester remembered that Sihua had not introduced the starting lineup of the opponent Greece, so he made up slowly: "The starting eleven players of the Greek team are goalkeeper Nico Polidis; defenders Sidaridis, Kiljakos, Anchas, Dras; midfielders Torosidis, Chalis Teas, Bassanas, Katzulanis; strikers Lagunis and Yecas.
Poor Greek team!
Compared with the long-term enthusiasm for introducing the England team, it was obviously deliberately ignored by Sester.
... On the green of the Rus-Sizenheim Stadium, the game is in full swing.
In the stands.
The cheers of the blue camp are like thunder!
The applause of the white square is like a rage!
In the first five minutes, the England team was like a reckless man in **. It did not do any temptation, but directly entered the sprint rhythm of the whole line.
Don't give the Greek team a chance to breathe at all!
...side the field.
In front of the Greek team's coaching bench.
Otto Emperor Rehagel gently leaned on the guardrail of the coach's seat with his hands on his chest. Looking at the disciples who were beat like his grandson by the strong men of England on the court, the expression on his face was not surprised but happy, and a flash of excitement flashed from time to time in his wise eyes... "...what's wrong? Madman Li, known as [God on the sidelines of the football field], are you really stimulated by Spain's 4:1 victory just now? Ha ha, can't you wait to show the fans that you are the most powerful one? In that case..."
"In that case, you will lose! It's a pity that I'm still in a hurry... too young!"
Rehagel quietly looked at the England team eager to attack on the court.
The leisurely and confident eyes seemed to see an angry lion chasing a group of unclothed hunters disdainfully... Unfortunately, although he had patted several guys who dared to provoke his majesty with his sharp claws, the proud lion obviously did not know that if he chased forward a few more steps, it would fall. Enter a deadly trap!
4 years ago, those who died in this trap were the fluttering French Gallic rooster, the Czech iron hoofs in white... and Portugal with the golden generation such as Figo and Ruy Costa!
This trap helped the Greek team sweep Europa in the 2004 European Cup!
This trap is called European defensive counterattack!
A defensive counterattack performed to the extreme by Otto the Great Rehagel!
... on the field.
Ten minutes have passed since the game.England's strong performance allowed the Three Lions to get almost 80% possession in these ten minutes, getting four corner kicks and 7 effective shots, of which 3 shots hit the goal frame... The comparison of data is shocking!
And the offensive and defensive situation on the scene also shows a one-sided trend.
Under the fierce attack of the England team, the Greek team was firmly suppressed within 30 or 40 meters of the goal. Even the strikers Gunis and Yekas had to run back to the penalty area at any time to participate in the defense. Looking down from the court, 22 players on the green battlefield put aside the goalkeepers, and there were as many as 16 People's feet stepped on the Greek team's half-time... At least on the surface, it looks more like a half-time offensive and defensive in-court coaching match!
...in the stands.
Fans on both sides have different expressions!
The huge scene advantage made the English fans in the stands crazy, while the Greek fans in the blue camp fell into an anxious silence. The satellite broadcast footage passed through the stands from time to time, and the TV screen cleverly captured some interesting footage. This scene was destined to become a classic. In the memory of countless people about Euro 2008 - on the court.
England midfielder Lampard made a powerful long-range shot... on the stands.
A bald head with red and white ink painted with the English cross flag on his face ** holding the prop cross sword, roaring and expressioning arrogantly... on the court.
Greek goalkeeper Nicopolidis staggered Michael Owen's header out of the bottom line... on the stands.
The old Greek fan wearing a blue and white Spartan fighter black iron helmet on the top of his head looked nervous and covered his heart with his hands... on the court.
After Tang Ning broke through the cross with continuous fake moves like a butterfly, Crouch beat the Greek defender Sita Ridis and hit the door... in the stands.
The beautiful Greek girl's big blue gem-like eyes are full of anxiety and worry... Of course, the most attractive camera is the group of English national wife group led by the hot girl Victoria.
This is a group of women.
They have exquisite faces and great fame, stunning sunglasses of various colors on their faces, and wear the top brands of luxury goods from head to toe... In the North Stand of the S-Sizenheim Stadium, they form a beautiful scenery.
It is obvious that with David Beckham's stable position in the England team of the madman Lee, Victoria, who was once taken away by Rooney's girlfriend Colin, Ashley Cole Flag Cheryl and other "back stars", rose again and became the leader of the wife's group... ... on the commentary table.
"...Michael Owen shot! Oh, God, what bad luck!! Owen wasted another chance... Once he was close to the goal! Did God King Zeus really stand behind the Greek team's goal today?
This is Sester's exclamation with his head in his arms.
"Alas... Ouch, alas, Crouch, what a good opportunity!! The high-back from Liverpool once again wasted Beckham's fatal corner kick. I think the English fans must miss the retired bomber Alan Shearer at this moment..."
This is the explanation of Brother Duan Xuan, who is a big head.
"...wow, YES!! YES!! GOGOGOGOGO..." Sester is as excited as a black American rapper bragging daddy: "Ashley Young! Ashley Young!! ! Rush, rush... Beautiful, he entered the restricted area, look... Let's see how to deal with it? Oh, it's a foul. It's definitely a foul. Haha, a penalty kick... What? Goalball? Shit, damn referee!"
"... 25 minutes have passed since the game, and England has completely suppressed the defending champion! This is not beyond our expectations..."
The big head Duan Xuan's impatient feature once again sounded in the ears of Chinese fans: "But the score is still maintained at 0: 0, and England must make a change to solve this problem. If such a score-strike situation continues, the Greek team's counterattack will come..."
... Time is still passing little by bit.
Finally, even the indulging English fans are a little anxious!
For the Three Lions, everything is ready, just a goal!
But it is so difficult to score goals under the defense of the Greek team regardless of attack. On the contrary, the Greek fans who survived the start-up period gradually became less anxious.
Because the scene in front of them gradually became familiar, they thought that they had been suppressed like this by the Portuguese team in the final four years ago, but... In the end, it was not the Greek team that won the championship!
Scene advantage is not equal to victory!
...In front of the coach's seat of the England team.
Li Tongfan wore a flan-Shiton light blue shirt, with a hem tied in his suit trousers, and his hands in his pockets on the sideline of the court coolly, with a confident smile on his face.
Three minutes later.
Lao Li turned his head and looked at Otto Emperor Rehagel, who was also confident in the coach's seat of the Greek team not far away. Then he raised the watch on his wrist to carefully proofread the time, and slowly came to the side of the court and made a gesture again asking the players to try to attack with all their strength.
It's time!
It's time to score!
...34th minute.
On the field.
England won the eighth corner of the game.
The Greek team is still like the previous seven defensive corner kicks. There is only one fast Jekas in the front court, and all the other players are recycled into the penalty area to participate in the defense... But this time, after seeing Li Tongfan's gesture on the sidelines, England's corner kick strategy has quietly changed!
The person who made the corner kick became Steven Downing!
Beckham entered the Greek penalty area.
The Greeks did not pay enough attention to this small change, because David Beckham had made seven corners, but did not pose enough threat. It's normal for England to change a corner kick penalty, and other teams would do the same.
Moreover, before the game, when arranging tactics, Rehagel repeatedly stressed that we should adapt to all changes, so the players of the Greek team firmly believe that as long as they strictly follow the tactical requirements of the head coach and are not induced by the change of the madman Li's "tricks", they will be able to be foolproof in defense.
But... When Downing was two or three seconds before the corner kick on the left, Beckham suddenly withdrew from the Greek team's penalty area after sprinting four or five times in the penalty area!
Then, the corner kick is sent off at this moment!
Come to... outside the restricted area!
David Beckham, who got rid of the defense, shot directly without waiting for the football to land!
The "volcano" of Russ-Sitenheim, which has accumulated energy for 35 minutes, has erupted!
The white football brought up a scorching airflow in the roar and shot lightning at the crowded restricted area!
Rubbing the ear of the back of Greece, Sidimons, who was blocked in a hurry... Rubbing the ends of John Terry's hair... Rubbing Michael Owen's forehead raised with all his strength... And finally... Rubbing the index finger of the Greek team's goalkeeper, he hit the one that should have been smashed three or four times in 35 minutes. The second net... "... the ball has been scored!! David Beckham!! The captain scored England's first goal in this European Cup, a perfect start! God, we saw the gesture of the madman Li before scoring the goal..."
A stadium stand for 30,000 people.
20,000 English fans.
At this moment, whether it is the Rus-Sizenheim Stadium in front of you, or the Chinese Shenzhou and British islands thousands of miles away, it is also immersed in endless enthusiasm.
On the court.
David Beckham, who scored the team's first goal, ran wildly, and his long blonde hair was like a beating flame. The teammates who followed him quickly hugged the captain excitedly.
...side the field.
Li Tongfan smiled and looked with interest at Otto Emperor Rehagel, who had a calm face just now... Sure enough, Rehagel's face changed!
Become ugly!
Because for Rehagel, as long as England scores a goal, even one goal, it is enough to completely bankrupt his defensive counterattack plan.
That's right, Otto the Great believes in 1-0ism!
However, the 0 in the back is actually 10,000 times more important than the previous one. Because once the opponent is not 0, even if the Greek team gets the hard work 1, it will become meaningless. As long as you lose to England in the defensive section, Greece's weak frontline strength will never score more goals than England.
At this time, for the Greek team, there is no other way but to attack. The defense will never bring them victory when they are 0:1 behind.
"I didn't expect that breaking my perfect plan was a goal of luck..."
Rehagel came to the sidelines and made an offensive gesture.
... Not far away, Li Tongfan, who saw Rehagel's helpless figure, smiled proudly!
Luck ball?
No!
That's the BUG corner kick tactic!
Although the big bull-level system task of the FM2008 system [Gloring the Top of Europe] has made many restrictions, the loopholes in the system itself, such as BUG corners and BT corners, do not seem to be limited.
The European defensive counterattack performed to the extreme by Otto the Great is really difficult to deal with, but once the deadlock is broken, it will be difficult to pose any threat to the England team!
... The game continues.
The Greek team, which hurriedly turned to attack after conceding the ball, is not the opponent of England at all.
David Beckham, Michael Owen and Steven Taylor, three players who can maintain the state of "Superman", helped England dominate the next game.
...48th minute.
“......GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Michael Owen!! ! The second goal, a sharp defensive counterattack, Owen's lightning speed finally played an advantage..."
...55th minute.
"...incredible! Scored again!! David Beckham's corner kick, national team rookie Steven Taylor grabbed the front and threw his head to attack, and the Greek goalkeeper did not respond! 3:0, this is the end of the game for the Greek team!!"
...67th minute.
"...Wow, God!! Crouch's clever ferry, Owen made a powerful shot near the penalty area line!! Haha, 4:0!!! This is a [[***]-type Owen-style break! What a wonderful moment!!"
... The game has lost its suspense here.
Li Tongfan replaced Lampard with Gerrard, the physically exhausted Downing with Joe Cole, and Michael Owen with rookie Daniel Strych!
Three replacement places have been used up in one go!
After the substitution, the England team still did not relax its offensive, and the attacks were like a tsunami under the hurricane in the Pacific Ocean.
But until the end of the game, the Three Lions did not score again.
Gerald and Joe Cole, who came on as substitutes, were in very bad shape.
Because the two of them are the five members of the FM2008 system who have a negative [view] due to the expulsion of Walcote. This is the only reason why Lao Li unexpectedly put Gerard on the starting list.
At this moment, when two people come on the stage, Li Tongfan hopes to eliminate the negative [view] of these two people through the game. Just like an online game novel with a popular name, let Gerrard return to normal as soon as possible.
... In the 91st minute of the game, the Greek team's defensive counterattack finally worked.
The substitute for the 2004 European Cup hero Charles Tyas scored a goal in front of the goal, and the score of the whole game was finally fixed at 4:1!
The final whistle of the referee finally sounded, and the Rus-Sizenheim Stadium instantly became the hottest and craziest place in the whole continent of Europa.
For English fans and Chinese fans, this night is destined to be a sleepless night!
The focus of this game is not on the description of the game scene, but to set off the atmosphere of the European Cup from other angles. It is a small knife's attempt. I hope my brothers can recognize it. After all, the European Cup has just begun, and the real highlight is the duel between the rich.
