Chapter 983 The Final of Someone in the Heart of the Seven Lion King

The football spun into the goal, rubbing against the net and making a slight rustle.However, this sound has been completely submerged in the singing made by more than 1 England fans at the scene.

The Nuevo Mestalla Stadium can accommodate [-] spectators, and now there are nearly [-] Spanish fans collectively silent. It has changed from Spain's home stadium to England's home stadium in an instant.

“这是英格兰足球的光荣时刻！我们正以2：0的比分领先东道主西班牙队，距离比赛结束还有15分钟！也就是说距离英格兰队50年来第一次打入世界大赛的决赛仅仅只有15分钟！！”约翰.莫特森激动地对着话筒嘶吼道，他的声音通过卫星传遍了整个英格兰。

All the fans in England cheered for his words, as if 15 minutes was just a blink of an eye, and they had already entered the Bernabeu, the venue for the final.

The 2:0 score also chilled half of the Spaniards present.With 15 minutes left in the game, two goals behind, if you want to enter the final, you must score at least two goals in these 15 minutes, and you can't let the England team score... Just thinking about it, I feel So difficult.Let alone put it into practice.

Not only the fans, but also the Spanish players on the field, and some people already felt despair when the goal was scored...

They are convinced that they are excellent, but they have a feeling that they can't use their strength... It seems that something is wrong.

Hierro sat on the seat, biting his lower lip until it turned white.His brain was running at high speed, and he was thinking about what to do if he was unwilling to give up under such circumstances.

After thinking for a long time, he identified George Wood and must find a breakthrough from him.Wood is the captain, the core, and the pinnacle of the England team.As long as he has a problem, the England team is likely to collapse at the last moment.

There is absolutely no shortage of such shocking reversals in world football, and today his Spanish team will also dedicate such a time to the fans!
※ ※ ※

Tang En's excitement only lasted for a short time.Then he began to consider whether to replace Wood at this time.Wood has a yellow card on his back. It stands to reason that he should be replaced for protection after a two-goal lead.But Twain knew that after the re-kick-off, Spain would definitely counterattack frantically. At that time, it was the most dangerous time. If the opponent accidentally scored a goal, the situation could be reversed in an instant, and it would no longer be England that had the upper hand, but England. Spain.

Keeping Wood on the floor solidifies the defense...

After weighing things up, Dunn decided to keep Wood on the court for another 5 minutes.After surviving the most violent Spanish offensive for 5 minutes, without delaying a second, let Wood come down and rest.With 10 minutes left, defending the penalty area must also maintain the advantages of these two goals.At that time, as long as the old man doesn't play with people, he should be able to pass the test.

When the England players finished celebrating their goal and started running towards their own half, Tang En gestured to them to shrink their defense from the sidelines.At this time, stability overwhelms everything, and there is no such opportunity for counterattacks...

※ ※ ※

After the game restarted, just as Twain expected, although the Spaniards felt pain about the score, not all of them gave up the fight, and as professional athletes, the experience accumulated from long-term unfavorable situations also Helping them at critical moments... Most importantly, in front of [-] home spectators, at their own home court, they do not want to miss the final of the European Cup held in their own country.

Hierro stood on the sidelines, staring at the court with a serious expression, as if he was also conveying such a message-never give up until the final whistle blows!
In order to pay tribute to such an opponent, the British Royal Navy also raised the St. George's flag.Wood was kept on the court until Tang En thought he could be replaced.

On the other hand, Gareth Barry has already started warming up on the sidelines.He will replace Wood later - if nothing else...

※ ※ ※

"We don't really want him to get a card..." Fabregas grabbed a few teammates around him when the ball was dead, and told them, "If he really gets a yellow card, the situation will not be good for us. I'm sure he's determined to deal with us, he's out of the next game anyway... so we're just going to put pressure on them, don't you really get him a yellow card... break through him, don't just go If there is physical contact, you will fall to the ground, absolutely not like that! Our purpose is not to compete for set kicks in front of the penalty area, but to penetrate inside!"

Iniesta has been replaced by Hierro, replaced by Cazorla, and Lago switched to the middle.Now Cesc Fabregas is the only core and commander on the team.He must keep a clear head.

"There are still ten minutes, don't give up! Don't give up!"

※ ※ ※

George Wood found himself in the crosshairs of a player for once.He is not afraid of such a challenge, even if he has to pay the price of not being able to participate in the final.Because this is his principle - he will not hesitate when things come to an end, as long as the boss lets him stay on the field, it means that he is very important, if there are tasks that have not been completed, then before completing his own tasks, he will Absolutely will not back down.

It's a pity that he thinks so, and his teammates must not agree.

Fabregas has warned his teammates not to focus on revenge on Wood, but to find ways to create goals.But Lago has his own ideas-what better thing than letting the opposing captain miss the next game and allowing his team to enter the final?
The basis for Lago's thinking is that he has an excellent free kick technique, and the Spanish team's current set kicks are all handed over to him.Deliberately making Wood foul, let him get a yellow card, and at the same time give Spain a free kick in the frontcourt, which is completely in Lago's interest.

But it is not okay to make a foul anywhere, as close to the penalty area as possible, close to the dangerous zone, so that the opponent's foul has the value of making the referee draw a card, and such a free kick is also more threatening.

When Lago received the football, he did not pass the football to Cesc Fabregas, who had already pulled out the space and saw the gap in England's defense. He was raising his hand to ask for the ball. He is quite confident in his dribbling skills...

"Idiot!" Fabregas couldn't help cursing after seeing his teammate's decision.Looking back, England's defense has automatically adjusted, and the gap that was exposed just now disappeared in an instant, and it is unknown when it will appear next time.

Cesc Fabregas was of course very angry that he wasted a chance that could have scored in this way.But he can't get angry now, he has to cooperate with his teammates' offensive.

Lago didn't know that Cesc Fabregas was very dissatisfied with his actions just now, and now he only had George Wood in front of him.He's going to get that guy down and save Spain with a free kick!

Wood didn't let him get his way.Perhaps because there were too many distracting thoughts in his mind, when he was approaching Wood, Lago's own steps were messed up and he didn't control the ball.Faced with such a dribbling, Wood blocked the ball very easily. Lago stumbled and ran out a few steps and then remembered to fall. He didn't get anything... No, at least he got ridiculed by the England fans .

"Such a poor dive, the referee should give him a yellow card!" Mortensen was not polite to the Spanish players.

England took the opportunity to organize a fast break, once again threatening Spain's goal.Fortunately, this time Asenjo was focused and played well, and saved Vaughn's shot, which was in excellent form.

But this made Fabregas, who had already put on the captain's armband, very dissatisfied. He waved and roared at Lago, complaining that he was too lonely just now.

Lago replied dissatisfied.

This scene made Dunn very happy to watch off the court. It seemed that the Spaniard's patience was about to run out.When the players of a team no longer believe that teamwork can open up the situation, and prefer to use individual skills to play heroes, the team is not far from death...

Despite his criticism of Lago's performance just now, when Lago appeared in the right position next time, Fabregas passed the ball unselfishly.Then he moved by himself, hoping to meet Largo.

This time Lago still let Fabregas down, and he continued to take the ball towards Wood.This kind of emotion is really abnormal, but it is understandable no matter how abnormal it is when we are behind by two goals and the game time is one second less. Ge Lai's earlier than Cesc Fabregas.

Wood went up to meet him this time, he wanted to make the other party die completely, and let him understand that he was an insurmountable mountain, and he was just a mortal like an ant.

This is what Lago was waiting for, this time he must make Wood pay a heavy price!

But the two did not meet, and when they were five meters away, Mitchell, who actively participated in the defense, knocked down Lago from the other side.The referee's whistle sounded as expected.

Mitchell and Lago fell to the ground together, and Wood turned his head to look at the referee running over. His eyes focused on the opponent's left arm, which was stretching out into his breast pocket.

If he remembers correctly, Mitchell had already received a yellow card against Sweden...

Mitchell obviously didn't expect that one of his fouls would get him a yellow card. He wanted to show off to Wood that he helped him stop another conspiracy of the enemy, but he saw Wood's expression was wrong.So he followed Wood's gaze and looked back to see the yellow card in the referee's hand!

Not only Wood and Mitchell realized the seriousness of the problem, Twain also knew what this yellow card meant for Mitchell: If the England team can successfully defeat Spain, then he will miss the most important game game - the final!
"How could this be..." Mitchell murmured, and then he suddenly rushed to the referee, wanting to protest angrily, but was hugged by George Wood, who had quick eyes and quick hands, and dragged him back.

"Do you want to be sent off straight away?" he shouted to Mitchell, who was struggling desperately.

The person in his arms didn't calm down, but struggled more violently. "It's not fair!" he growled.

Wood couldn't continue to comfort Mitchell, because if he fouled himself just now, then the yellow card should be for himself.Because this location is too sensitive... A little before the top of the free throw arc at the front of the penalty area, if Lago breaks through himself, he will directly face the central defender led by Terry.

Not only Mitchell, but other English players were dissatisfied with the referee's penalty. They surrounded the referee one after another, hoping that he would take back the yellow card decision.But how is this possible?The judgment made is like water poured out...

Tang En didn't yell at the people below, because he knew that the fouls in this place were very sensitive, and the referee's decision to give a card depends entirely on his mood.Obviously, the judge in black was not in a good mood at this time...

He just turned around and asked Des Walker how Barry's warm-up was going.Looking at the situation, he couldn't keep Wood on the court.Mitchell is a lesson from the past.

While taking off his training vest, Barry ran up to Tang En.He knew he had finally had his chance to play.

"You go to replace George..." Dunn said to him.

※ ※ ※

Meanwhile on the pitch England's protests against the referees are over because it doesn't help at all.Only Mitchell seemed very frustrated, the best opportunity was in front of him, but he was going to be a spectator... He couldn't accept this fact, but what could he do?

George Wood saw the fourth official holding up a substitution sign on the sidelines. The person standing next to the fourth official was Gareth Barry. He knew he was about to be replaced.He patted Mitchell in the crowd, opened his mouth, and said, "Thank you."

Then he took off the captain's armband, turned and walked towards Terry, completing the captain's handover.Then he walked slowly to the sidelines, enjoying a standing ovation from the England fans.

"Twain replaced Wood obviously for the purpose of protecting Wood. It's a pity that Mitchell will miss the next game, which is likely to be the final..." Mortensen was grateful for Wood, but also for Wood Mitchell felt sorry.At the same time, he was also a little worried about the fate of England in the final. Although Mitchell did not score many goals, he was definitely a very effective center forward. He can also play as a central defender. Such a comprehensive center will definitely increase the team's combat effectiveness.

Wood walked to the sidelines, hugged Barry, patted him on the shoulder to see him off, and shook hands with Dunn.

While shaking hands, he asked, "Don't you want to replace Mitchell?"

Tang En shook his head: "I've already received a yellow card, what's the use of changing it?"

Wood didn't say anything, turned and walked to the bench, but the towel handed over by assistant coach Walker was put on his head, and he sat on the chair without saying a word.He's still lamenting Mitchell's fate...

The Spanish side has already started to prepare for free kicks, and Lago took the knife himself.The football drew an arc, bypassed the wall, and also bypassed Joe Hart's ten fingers, and got into the goal!

At that moment, the Nuevo Mestalla Stadium could not hear anything except the storm of cheers from the Spanish fans.Even Tang En himself couldn't hear the swear words he scolded.

"Get back a goal! Let's get back a goal!" The Spanish commentator seemed to see hope.

Fabregas, who was dissatisfied with Lago just now, also rushed forward to give the other party a strong hug.

Lago finally enjoyed the treatment of being a hero...

While the Spaniard was busy celebrating, Mitchell picked up the football in the net by himself, ran all the way to the middle circle with his arms in his arms, and then smashed the football hard on the kick-off point.When he raised his head again, the expression of frustration and anger was gone.

He has rediscovered his value as a striker.

※ ※ ※

"Stop wasting time celebrating!" Hierro loudly reminded his players on the sidelines that they had no time for such things. "Hurry up and get back to the game! There is still one goal left! There are still 7 minutes!" He pointed to the watch on his wrist to the Spanish players on the field.

Despite this, the Spanish players who returned to their respective positions still couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.They have already seen hope. Although there are only 10 minutes until the end of the game in nine 7 minutes, there is still stoppage time...

After the game restarted, Mitchell suddenly stopped actively returning to defense, but stayed in front and kept raising his hands for the ball.Except for Piqué who paid more attention to him, the players of the Spanish team didn't take it seriously. At this time, their minds were full of scoring goals, equalizing the score, and completing a big reversal...

In the final time, the Spanish team pressed heavily, and the Spanish fans in the stands seemed to be on adrenaline, and they kept making noises to support the team.The singing of the England fans was completely suppressed.

But when Barry passed the ball long over Mitchell's head, the sound stopped abruptly.

Piqué cared too much about the position, but Mitchell turned and wiped it away. He lost his center of gravity and almost fell to the ground, but he had lost his target.

Mitchell looked back at the Spanish player who was desperately returning to defense, and then looked up at the football on his head. He was already outside the top of the penalty arc.

"How could you forget to defend?!" The Spanish commentator asked angrily, but it was only at this time that he remembered to ask this question. Isn't it too late?

Asenjo must also want to question his teammates like this, but now let's block the opponent's one-handed goal first...

"Arsenjo abandoned the goal and attacked. This is a one-shot! It is a great opportunity for Mitchell. As long as we can score, we will definitely go to the final!"

Seeing this scene, George Wood tore off the white towel covering his head, stood up from the bench, and stared nervously at the Spanish penalty area.

Not every one-handed goal will be scored. While the goalkeeper is under pressure, the single-handed striker also needs to bear tremendous pressure, and it is likely to be even greater than the goalkeeper...

"Hit it in, Aaron!" Tang En roared from the sidelines, gnashing his teeth, his fists clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white. "This is your final! Get it in!!"

Facing Asenjo, who was attacking near the penalty spot, Mitchell suddenly stopped and raised his right leg. The football fell just at this time, and everything seemed to have been carefully calculated.He didn't volley vigorously, but just lifted his right foot flat and lightly... The football jumped up again, flew over Asenjo's head, drew a parabola, and fell straight to the goal.

Since I can't make it to the final, I will advance the ball that was originally reserved for the final!
Use my right foot to send the team to the final!Nothing to regret!Yes, nothing good...

The soccer ball flew across the goal line and landed in the goal.

asshole!why me……

Mitchell's knees gave way and he fell to his knees.

The Nueva Mestalla was silent.

"This is one of the most graceful arcs I've ever seen..." In such a quiet environment, John Mortensen sighed softly.
