Chapter 962
On the computer screen, Gerrard, wearing a red England No. 8 jersey, blasted the football into the goal amidst the boos of German fans.Wearing headphones, the man in a suit and leather shoes couldn't help but raised his arms and cheered loudly.

Although it is working hours now, no one is surprised by his behavior, because everyone is doing the same thing as him.Dozens of arms were raised in the office, cheering together.

However, this situation is only a special case. More companies and even government departments have left work early at this time.More people gathered in the bars that can be seen everywhere on the street, drinking beer with friends and watching the game.

Every taxi's radio is locked to the station broadcasting the game. Not only the passengers, but the drivers themselves are also paying attention to the game.

The large-screen TVs in stations, squares, and shopping malls are all broadcasting the live broadcast of the game, and many passers-by will stop and watch in front of each screen.

After seeing Gerrard scoring a penalty, all these people cheered as if no one else was around.Of course, the Liverpool fans were the happiest because it was their captain who helped England equalize.

"England equalized the score! Now we see the hope of victory again! The Germans are still protesting the penalty, but no matter how many times they watch the replay, the referee's decision is no problem!" The commentator John Mortensen added Once the problem of penalty kicks was emphasized.

"Yes! No problem!" the fans roared after him.

In fact, it doesn't matter if there are problems, the fans are not saints.It is a very cool thing to be able to score a goal against Germany, but what is even more exciting is that the goal itself has problems, such as offside first, and those who did not cross the goal line were sentenced to cross the line... So England fans I like to talk about the 1966 World Cup final and mock the Germans.

Every time Germany's "Football Emperor" Beckenbauer came to London, he would be pulled out by a taxi driver to chat about that year's final, otherwise he could hardly leave the airport.The drivers wanted to ask him if he thought Hurst's goal had gone over the line that year.

Of course, technology has proved that the ball did not completely cross the line, but the English are enjoying this result.

Back at Valencia's Nuevo Mestalla Stadium, England fans in the stands were singing loudly and cheering for England.German fans chose silence.At this time, the anti-riot police in the stands were extremely nervous, for fear that the English fans would irritate the German fans, and then the two sides removed the seats and had a more intense battle than the game in the stands.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

Sammer was very disappointed with this conceded goal, and now he has to reconsider how to play the next game.You can be conservative when you lead by one goal, but now you are tied?
No news has come out in another field. It seems that Portugal and Wales should also be tied.So according to the current form, if both games end in a draw and the four teams share four points, then the German team will continue to rank first in the group with the advantage of goal difference, thus qualifying smoothly.Even if the game over there finally decides the outcome, whether Portugal wins or Wales wins, the German team will also beat England with a goal difference advantage to qualify as second in the group.And England fell to the third place in the group. It depends on the results of several other groups to determine whether they are eligible to become one of the four best third-ranked groups and qualify.

For the German team, as long as they don't lose, they will definitely qualify. Their room for maneuver is larger than that of England.

Summer is a person who cares more about the result than his face. Since he can guarantee to qualify without losing the game, he should keep the tie and win.If they press out to attack at this time, it is very likely that England will seize the opportunity to make another victory. When they lose the game, their positions with England will be reversed.

In the player era, Matthias Summer was hailed as the best "free man" in the world after Beckenbauer and Baresi.He was trained mechanically in East Germany and emphasized discipline, and he was an insurmountable iron gate in the German team's defense.He doesn't care whether the football he plays is beautiful, artistic, or entertaining. He only cares about the result. Football is a sport that pursues victory. If you can't win, then all your efforts are meaningless.

After becoming the head coach, he also insisted on this view.

He decided to let the team continue to focus on defense, supplemented by counterattack.It is not necessary to break through England's goal, as long as it can hold the score is enough.

※ ※ ※

Contrary to Summer's conservatism, Dunn did not have the power to choose conservatism at this time.He must attack, and only attack.So he stood on the sidelines and waved his hand. England pressed across the board and launched a siege to the German team.The situation was reversed in the first half.

England tried their best to pass the football to Mitchell's head from the wing, but it was a pity that they could only get one penalty kick. Mitchell was caught in the defense of the German giant's defender and did nothing.At this time, he must regret why he didn't pay attention to strength training.

Tang En observed from the sidelines for a while, and found that a blind pass from the side could easily be defended by the Germans. Their height had an advantage, and heading the ball was not a good way.So taking advantage of a dead ball, he called Walcott to his side.He was told not to cross again, but to break through with the ball and cut inside.

The German defender is tall and big, but his turns are not flexible.This is where it can be exploited.

Jensen was fast, and Walcott couldn't take advantage of it, so Tang En asked Walcott and Cohen to switch positions frequently, with Walcott going to the left side and Cohen going to the right side.

The right-footed player went to the left to facilitate the inside shot. Twain wanted to create chaos for the German team's rigorous defense.

After Walcott went to the left, the effect was obvious. The German team did not expect Tang En to arrange it this way.Because Cohen and Walcott are not all-round players, Cohen can only use his left foot, and Walcott's left foot skills are terrible compared to his right foot. Summer never thought that Twain would let these two people switch. position, so no targeted arrangements were made.

The players of the German team were very awkward defensively.After all, the technical movements and habits of players who are good at left feet and those who are good at right feet are different. If you are not used to the former, it will cause inertial thinking. In this way, when you face another player with a dominant foot, you will make a mistake in qualifying. .

Lahm is a very good full-back. He defended Chris Cohen on the wing without temper, but he was a little embarrassed when facing Walcott's speed breakthrough.

"Walcott speeds up...stops and turns, cuts in! Beautiful, he swerves away from Rahm! Shot!!"

Adler kicked the ball out with both fists and then growled at Lahm, dissatisfied with his teammates' defense.

Soon Walcott made a comeback again, but this time when Lahm was defending him from an inside cut, he chose to force the bottom, and then facing the chasing Lahm, he dunked the ball back and turned around. His good right foot kicked the cross again.It's a pity that Rooney's shot missed under Westerman's interference, but it also made the German break out in a cold sweat.

"You can't let him go on like this!" Adler yelled at his teammates, "No matter what method you use, don't let him enter the penalty area!"

Walcott's activity caused the Germans a headache, and Twain also saw the advantages of such a dexterous player when facing tall defenders.He decided to make a substitution.

"Mork." He turned and gestured to Mork who was sitting on the bench. "Go warm up and be back in five minutes."

Mork was a little surprised.Although he was brought to Spain, he was generally believed by the media to have no hope of appearing on the field, and he belonged to the player with the same fate as the third goalkeeper.Because in front of him are Walcott, who has secured his main position, and Bentley, who is excellent in crossing.He himself has no advantages other than technical skills. His body is not good, his speed is not fast, his physical strength is not good... It was a great surprise to be brought to Spain by Twain. The media talked about it, saying Twain must be out It was the mentality of "taking care of one's own people" that brought him here.

But now he actually has a chance to play!

Mork hurriedly put on his white vest and rushed out.

Five minutes later, he stood in front of Tang En panting.

Tang En glanced at the boy whom he had severely taught: "Tired after only running for 5 minutes?"

Mork quickly closed his mouth that was opened for panting, and shook his head: "I'm not tired, boss! I'm just...excited!" In fact, he was a little nervous.It was the first time to play for the national team, and it turned out to be against an opponent like Germany. It would be fake not to be nervous.

Tang En looked at him and smiled: "Just don't be nervous. I want you to replace Cohen. He is not very useful on the right flank. You go up and use your technique and dribbling ability to break through the penalty area from the flank. , creating chaos and opportunities." Dunn pointed to the field and said to Mo Ke.

Mork nodded as he listened.

"If you can't make a breakthrough, then create a set kick. Of course, it's best to take a penalty kick." Dunn laughed.

"Okay, boss!" Mork laughed.The boss's smile made him feel familiar and at ease.Although we are still at a disadvantage, the boss must have a way!

When England received a throw-in, Chris Cohen was substituted and Mock came on.

Although Cohen did not contribute much to offense, his active defense in the first half helped the team's defense relieve a lot of pressure.Now that England doesn't need to focus on defense, his role is very small.

"Good job, Chris." Dunn shook hands with Cohen who came down, and praised his performance.

Mork's appearance suddenly strengthened England's offense.Now England is no longer a cripple walking on one leg. Whether it is Walcott on the left or Moke on the right, they all have excellent dribbling skills. They can beat the German defenders alone. They played around.

When the Germans had just put their defensive focus on the right flank, Moke became active again.

Mork's speed is not fast, but his foot skills are better than Walcott's, and Jensen is played around by him.Fouls had to be used several times to stop Mork's breakthrough.

※ ※ ※

"Aha! Well done, Mok! He represented the national team for the first time but he didn't have any stage fright at all. Look at his breakthrough...heel kick, change direction! It's over!" John Mortensen shouted excitedly road.

After Mok passed Jensen, he used his body to protect the football, so that Jensen could not easily steal the ball, and then he began to drill into the penalty area.

Facing Mertesacker who came up to defend, Moke planned to pass the ball through the crotch.The football was pushed over, but the others were blocked by Mertesacker.Mork, who fell on his back to the ground, raised his hand to ask for a penalty, but the referee signaled him to get up quickly and don't waste time.

This time it was Tang En's turn to be angry on the sidelines: "This is a typical blocking foul! Do you need me to teach you a lesson, Mr. Referee!"

The referee ignored him, and Tang En shut up after cursing a few words.

Now that his team has the upper hand, the German's counterattack is not a threat, and he is not too anxious.If there are only 10 minutes left in the game, he will definitely not let it go.

※ ※ ※

Gerrard once again passed the ball to Mock on the right flank and saw him get the ball.Schweinsteiger ran up to defend.Mork waded the football past the opponent along the sideline, and then faced the situation where there was an interception in front and there were chasing soldiers, he distributed the football to Michael Johnson who came up to meet him. After passing the ball, he continued to rush forward .Johnson is also very smart to pass the ball back to him, two for one!

Jensen learned the lesson this time, no longer rushing out, but followed Mo Ke back.He didn't try to steal the ball until he had cornered Mock near the corner flag.Unexpectedly, with his back turned to protect the ball, Mo Ke hooked the football between Jensen's legs with his foot arched, and then quickly turned around and wiped him past him!
Mok, who asked Jensen, caught up with the football on the bottom line. This time, facing the opponent Mertesacker who blocked him last time, he did not choose to wear the crotch, but made a shooting action.

Mertesacker didn't dare not make a block when he was so close to the goal.Mok pulled the ball back while he stretched his legs to prevent the shot, tapped his left foot lightly, and dodged in from behind Mertesacker.

When Adler was hesitating whether to attack and expand the blocking area, Mo Ke passed the ball!
The football passed through Westerman's crotch. Wayne Rooney got rid of the entanglement of Rolfess at the moment Moke passed the ball, and jumped forward. Facing the huge empty goal, all he had to do was stretch out his feet Then stop...

Adler turned and rushed to Rooney, but he was a step too late.

"Moke's pass...Rooney, Rooney, ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO——GOOOOAL!! Easy push! England leads Germany 2:1!" Mortensen stood up from his seat with a microphone in his hand.

The England fans were cheering after Moke passed Mertesacker, and the cheering finally reached its peak after Wayne Rooney scored the football.

"Long live - England!!"

※ ※ ※

For this conceded goal, the German players had nothing to do. The short Mock was like a monkey nimbly shuttling through the dense forest. Their strong bodies could not stop them at all, they could only become a defensive obstacle.In this way, everyone watched Mo Ke flexibly turn around and get rid of and get rid of, stirring up a mess in front of the German team's goal, and then sending the football to the most dangerous place...

Summer angrily punched the awning behind him.Then he felt that this punch was not enough to vent his anger, so he punched again.

He didn't make timely adjustments to Tang En's substitution, which led to serious consequences.His anger was dissatisfaction with his slow response.

Twain, who was next door, rushed to the sidelines to hug Walker. Mork, who had just replaced himself for less than 10 minutes, became the leading hero, which showed that his substitution was effective.

"We're ahead, aha!" Walker exclaimed excitedly.Now there is hope for a direct exit.

Dunn quickly calmed down: "Don't be too happy, Des. Be careful of the Germans' counterattack. We must continue to strengthen our offense and try to score another goal."

He broke away from the excited crowd, waited for the players on the field to finish celebrating, and then gave them his latest instructions.

But it looks like he'll have to wait a little longer.The English players who reversed Germany were very excited. Rooney originally planned to stand and celebrate the goal, but now he became lying on the ground to celebrate-he was pressed down by his happy teammates.

The England fans obviously don't have Twain's worries. At this time, they just want to cheer and celebrate, because their team is ahead of the arch-rival Germany.Whether it is the New Mestalla Stadium or in England, the singing of Wayne Rooney is flying in every corner.

Everyone saw the bright prospect of stepping on the dead Germans to advance to the round of [-].That's a future that makes me excited just thinking about it...
