The most low-key superstar

Chapter 423 The Living Legend

This is the scene of the World Cup final, and it is time to announce the result, but the fans at the scene are praying, one side hopes that the damn ball will not be kicked in, and the other side is praying to God to let Nicole kick the ball in, Nicole Never let them down, and never this time.

Behind the Spanish team's goal, there was another little chaos. A fan couldn't bear the tense atmosphere and passed out. The emergency personnel hurriedly carried the fan away...

"It's really nervous. There is less than 1 minute until the end of the game. This is the last minute of extra time. The Spanish team still leads by one goal. However, at the last moment, the England team won a free kick in an excellent position. , I wonder if San Cassie can become a hero of the Spaniards?"

"It has come to the most critical moment, it depends on the goal of Nicole, if the ball can be scored, then according to the time, the two sides will enter a penalty shootout, if not, then the Spaniard will become the eighth team The team that won the World Cup."

"It was quiet on the pitch, it hadn't been this quiet since the game started, and all eyes were on one man, England's captain, Nickle Williams."

"During the World Cup, Nicole has used his outstanding performance and super influence to step into the ranks of legends in one fell swoop. As the champion of the Champions League for three seasons, Nicole has used his wonderful goals one after another to lead He's already a superstar with so many enviable victories, and now, with this unfinished game, he's a living legend."

"Actually, whether a team is successful or not, the head coach, tactics, style of play, and other factors are all secondary factors. The most important thing is the strength of the players. They have reached the peak of their careers during this period, and their combined forces are enough to push them to the pinnacle of honor. A more important feature is to have an absolutely outstanding core figure."

"Damn it, I couldn't breathe anymore, the referee called a stop again, he came to the wall of Spain, signaled the Spaniard to retreat enough distance, and showed a yellow card to Torres, oh!! What a unwillingness to be lonely The referee, this is the Chapter 14 yellow card he showed in this game."

"Whether the goal goes in or not, even if the England team can't win the championship, Nickle Williams has conquered the world with his super performance. No one can do better than him."

"The Spanish team's offense and the England team's defense have both achieved the ultimate. Although there is no exciting scene like the confrontation, the Spanish team has played a beautiful offensive organization, while the England team has organized a tough defense and an extremely sharp counterattack. If it is not The referee's misjudgment, maybe the England team will not be so passive, and Harvey Alonso should be sent off directly instead of Gerrard."

Spain is the fourth European defending champion to reach the World Cup finals. Italy in 4 and West Germany in 1970 both failed. Only West Germany succeeded in reaching the top in 1982. The opponent defeated at that time was the Netherlands.In the history of the World Cup, the championship team has never scored less than 1974 goals, while Spain only scored 11 goals before the final, and the Netherlands scored 7 goals, second only to Germany.Spain is the fourth team to reach the final after losing its first match, following West Germany in 12, Argentina in 4 and Italy in 1982.The last team to win the title after losing in the group stage was Argentina in 1990.

Bosque continued to use the semi-final lineup, and Torres still played as a substitute.Counting Villa who has already joined, Barcelona has 7 players in the starting lineup, tying Uruguay in the 1950 final, 7 players from Penarol, second only to the record created by Czechoslovakia in the 1934 final, and 8 players from Slavia Prague ya.

If Spain wins the championship, it will become the youngest world champion in nearly 40 years and the youngest world champion from Europe in history.

"Winning the world championship will be a reward for the hard work of the players over the past few years. This is a championship-hungry team, and we want to show this strength in front of the world."
"For 90 years, Spain has been playing the 'underdog' on the World Cup stage, either because of referees, or because of missed chances, or being sneaked by opponents. Some people say that this is a team under a spell, and now' The strongest generation in the history of Spain'Through this desire, the desire to overcome fate has made the impossible possible. With the support of strong beliefs, all kinds of fate and spells have been invalidated. This time, they will definitely complete their enthronement, To be the king of the world, all we have to do is wait another minute."

Too many people are optimistic about the Spanish team, including themselves.

From the very beginning of the game, the Spanish team had mastered the rhythm of the game. Their delicate tactics were fully displayed. It seemed that their attack lines were almost pervasive, as if they could crush and swallow their opponents at any time.

However, whenever they are about to pass the front of the England penalty area, they will encounter the strongest resistance.

Many times, when he arrived in this area, the Spaniard felt a headache, "It's terrible, England's defense is too savage, it's Nickel, this annoying guy, and he's bullying our players again, but the referee is always that Boring action - the game continues!!!"

"Nice defense!!"

"As long as Nicole is there, our defense is impenetrable. England's midfield is very tough in defense, and Spain's offense is like rough sea waves constantly beating on a hard embankment."

"Counterattack! Nicole's counterattack! In the second minute of overtime, the England team got a chance to counterattack. Nickle broke through the Spanish player's interception with the ball, leaving only Xavi Alonso."

The kick-off side of extra time is the Spanish team. As usual, they quickly overwhelmed the halftime after the kick-off. However, a relatively casual pass by Cesc Fabregas, who came off the bench, was tackled by Carrick. Immediately after getting the ball, he started to plug in. Using the constant line change in the high-speed dribble, he avoided the interception of two Spanish teams in a row. Just after passing the midfield line, he was kicked by Xavi Alonso who came up obliquely. Kicked on the left foot.

"Single shot - oh no, shameless foul!! Xavi Alonso this is a red card action, God!! What did we see, the referee signaled the game to continue, oh, this is what I saw The most infuriating penalty ever!!!”

The shoe on Nichol's left foot was also kicked off. Nichol sat on the ground, spread his hands helplessly, and expressed his dissatisfaction to the referee, "The shoe was kicked off, isn't this a bloody foul?" '

In fact, the referee didn't dare to risk the disgrace of the world. It was because Nickle's counterattack was too fast, and the referee just judged a little ahead. He felt that he should be closer to the ball, so he ran Going to the front of the England penalty area, when the England team launched a counterattack, he didn't even see what happened to Harvey Alonso.

Because of Harvey Alonso's rich experience, after he kicked Nicole down, taking advantage of the referee's hesitation, he quickly passed the ball forward, and the Spanish team launched a new round of counterattack.

The referee also followed suit and ruled that the ball was not fouled!
Angry boos from England fans immediately resounded through the football city.

"Despicable and shameless!!"

"Asshole referee!!"

"..."

"Nicole had a couple of very good chances, but unfortunately he didn't take them. I think the referee didn't control the game, we fouled too much and in the final it was fatal. Nicole committed an obvious foul, and the referee didn't penalize him for a foul, so he should have been sent off with a red card." After the game, Capello still refused to forgive the referee's mistake when talking about the ball. "And this goal also caused us to concede a goal. To be honest, it really makes me hard to accept."

When the Spanish team launched a counterattack, the players of the England team flocked to the referee excitedly. This penalty made the England team feel extremely angry.

But Cesc Fabregas regained possession of the ball. He found that no one was paying attention to the ball, so he took advantage of the opportunity to push the ball straight towards the penalty area.

"Iniesta!!"

"Shameless!!"

"Defend quickly!! The opponent is attacking!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!! Iniesta!! A brilliant kick from far outside the box!! He scored the first goal of this World Cup final, and maybe the only goal!!!"

"The England team looked so immature on this ball, and even competed with the referee. Although it was a very obvious misjudgment, we should first solve the fumble and then find the referee."

The Spanish fans erupted in ecstatic cheers after the referee pointed his finger at the center circle. They were worried that Xavi Alonso would be sent off, but the lovely referee was very helpful and let Ines Tower scored a goal, this is already overtime! !
The emotional Gerrard rushed to the referee and yelled. It seemed that Gerrard could not accept such a big own goal. You must know that the England team played very well throughout the game. Generally speaking, the England team Absolutely more opportunities than the Spanish team, and this time, the referee almost ruined all the efforts of the English players on the field.

Gerrard couldn't control his temper anymore, and he didn't care that he already had a yellow card.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lampard hurried forward to stop Gerrard. Although the two were fiercely competitive at the beginning, it was once the most difficult problem for the England team to solve. However, this World Cup is different. In the end, it's all about the championship.

However, Lampard was still slow. The angry referee had already pulled out a yellow card and held it up to Gerrard. Two yellow cards turned into one red. Gerrard was sent off, and the England team could only fight with ten players.

The booing of the England fans has never stopped, because Gerrard was sent off, the sound is louder now, and it is also mixed with countless debris thrown from the stands, waste paper, water bottles, etc., the England fans were almost blown up lung.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, and countless policemen flocked to the sidelines. They had to restore order immediately, and the game was not over yet.

"This is Iniesta's game alone. He is very active in the frontcourt, rushing from left to right, creating a great threat to the English, and winning free kicks many times. The English are hard to defend. Inies Tower finally broke through the suffocation tactics that the English almost succeeded with a beautiful shot."
"Iniesta has a very good sense of position. He can drive the team's rhythm, drive his teammates to run, and the opponent's defensive players become at a loss. Iniesta can bring depth and locality to the Spanish team. He can break through and pass the ball. He is known as the combination of Harvey and Messi. He dares to charge in the front and is good at attacking opponents from the second row. Either find a match, Either a fatal pass or a long shot is an obvious example." Iniesta was praised by the Spanish broadcaster, and Xiaobai immediately became a Spanish hero with this goal.

"This is so disappointing. I am proud of the team's performance. Even without the championship, I think we still have a full reward." Lineker also felt that he did not know what to say.

The director continued to give close-up shots to FIFA President Sepp Blatter, and the voice-over said, "Does the final also need to be balanced?" '

Of course, more shots are given to the maker of the ball, Harvey Alonso. He is celebrating the goal with his teammates. It seems that nothing can be seen from his face. However, the technology of the camera has already Too mature, although Harvey Alonso looked very calm, but there was still an unconscious look at Nicole was captured.

In the camera, Capello kept shaking his head and smiling, and seemed to have a different understanding of this goal. However, Capello has already won the recognition of England fans with his World Cup results.

Although Capello didn't express any excitement, the angry assistant coach rushed to the fourth official to protest the bad penalty, and the guilty fourth official just smiled and said, "The referee's penalty cannot be changed!"

In England, countless angry fans smashed everything in their hands, including the TVs that brought them angry images, and countless pubs heard fans cursing the Brazilian referee.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Nicole glanced at Iker Casillas, who was the opponent who gave Nicole the most headache in the whole game.

Iker Casillas became "Saint Iker" again. If it weren't for his left and right blocks in the game, especially the miraculous saves of the two single-handed goals of Nicole and Lampard, would Spain have survived until the end of the season? Times are question marks.

As early as before the match, Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas admitted, "If Spain does not win the final championship, Spain's achievements in this World Cup will hardly be regarded as a breakthrough." '

The World Cup final against England was Casillas' 111th international cap.After helping Spain win the European Championship in 2008, the World Cup is Casillas' ultimate goal.Casillas said, "After reaching the final, we have indeed achieved great results, but whether it is me, my teammates, or my country, it will not only be satisfied with this."

"Winning the World Cup will be my dream," Casillas said. "We are all a little nervous because this game is very important for us. But I will still focus on the game and not think too much. "

A small tidbit of the game showed Casillas' nervousness, a nice pass from Nicole to find Ashley Cole who was thrusting in from the wing, Cole crossed, Casillas struck out to pick up the ball and Knocking over Puyol, Puyol fell to the ground and seemed a little injured. Casillas then tried to drive the ball out of the sideline, but it fell directly at the feet of Lampard. Lampard lobbed in the midfield. Silas rubbed his hands in panic, and the football went out of the baseline.

But in terms of the past 9 minutes of the game, Casillas performed quite well.

Towards the end of the first half, England used set pieces to create a threat.Lennon made a free kick on the right side of the front court. Nicole drove the ball to the back point. Gerrard flew the header, but was cleared by Puyol's header. Paul dribbled the ball horizontally at the front right side of the penalty area, passed three Spanish players in a row, and then shot suddenly. The ball ran to the near corner and was bravely saved by Iker Casillas.

In the second half, Casillas had two more heroic saviors.

In the 55th minute, Nicole passed the ball like a scalpel to Lampard. Lampard faced Casillas single-handedly. As a result, Casillas staged a perfect save. The foot blocked Lampard's shot from the bottom line, and the Spanish team escaped!
"Long live San Casillas!!" Spanish fans chanted slogans, cheering for Casillas' wonderful performance.

In the 73rd minute, Hart kicked the ball to the front of the penalty area with a big kick. Nichols suddenly jumped in and got rid of Puyol and broke into the penalty area single-handedly. not lost.However, this ball was a highly controversial ball, because the jersey of Nicole has been pulled tightly by Puyol, and the referee hesitated, and still did not call a penalty.

And Gerrard received a yellow card because of the ball appeal to the referee.

The gorgeous Spanish team entered the final with 1-0 in three knockout games.

Behind the smooth attack, the Spanish team built a solid wall, and Casillas is the leader of the defense line on this wall.After the Germany game, Casillas inadvertently broke Spain's World Cup clean sheet record and improved it to 314 minutes.

Spain's previous record for longest clean sheet was 1950 minutes in the 282 World Cup by Izaguire and Ramalez.In the long following 60 years, although Spain has emerged generations of excellent goalkeepers, they have not been able to challenge this record.Spain, which is currently advancing to the World Cup final, only scored 2 goals against the gate guarded by Iker Casillas, against Switzerland and Chile in the group stage.

In the final against England, Iker Casillas has yet to allow his opponents to score.
