Chapter 294 The Beginning of Victory 【End】
"The game has begun! The first kick-off is the England team..."
Although Brother Duan Xuan's melancholy baritone voice was still calm and unenthusiastic, countless Chinese fans who were waiting hard in front of the TV suddenly fell asleep at this moment. Everyone's first action was to stare at the TV screen to see if they could catch the man who was regarded as a national idol in front of the Three Lions coaching bench.
……
"Crazy Lee really used his own best 4-1-2-1-2 formation. On the front line, Michael Owen partnered with high center Crouch. Frank Lampard, the magic lamp of the Blues, appeared in the attacking midfielder position. As expected, the two wings were Steven Downing and Ashley Young."
"...captain David Beckham is in the back, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Steven Taylor and Manzienni are lined up in the back line, and the goalkeeper is Joe Hart, who has performed very well for Manchester City this season..."
Sester held back his surprise and finished introducing the starting lineup. He turned to look at Gary Lineker who was also surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Gary, the starting lineup is a bit unexpected. Tell me your opinion!"
"Well, due to Rooney's suspension, it is not surprising that Crouch appeared in the front line. Liverpool's high center performed well in the warm-up match, and he was able to cooperate with Michael Owen..."
Lineker expressed his opinion:
"The most surprising thing about the midfield is Gerrard's loss. At present, it seems that Crazy Li still prefers a winger like Tang Ning who is fast and skilled in a small area..."
"As for the back line, it's the most amazing thing. Newcastle's rookie king Steven Taylor squeezed out Rio Ferdinand. Isn't Madman Lee afraid of the media criticizing him for using his power in the national team to promote his own interests?"
"But this seems to be more in line with the personality of Madman Lee. It has become the pleasure of this [God] to go against the media... After expulsing Richards and Neville, Manzienni 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, there is no suspense about Joe Hart's starting lineup. Crazy Lee is well known for his love for this young player. Maybe he can really create a super goalkeeper for English football!"
Accompanied by the unstoppable cheers and shouts in the stands since the start of the game, Lineker intermittently interpreted the starting list of the Three Lions according to his own understanding.
It wasn't until this time that Sester remembered that Sihua hadn't introduced the starting lineup of the opponent's Greek team, so he added without haste: "
The starting 11 of the Greek team are goalkeeper Nicopolidis; defenders Sitaridis, Kyrjakos, Anchas, Delas; midfielders Torossidis, Charisteas, Basinas, Kachulanis; forwards Lagunis and Yekas. "
Poor Greek team!
Compared with the enthusiasm in the long-winded introduction to the England team, it was obviously deliberately ignored by Sester.
……
On the green of the Urs-Siezenheim Stadium, the game was in full swing.
in the stands.
The cheers of the blue camp were like thunder!
The applause of the white square was like a raging wave!
In the first 5 minutes, the England team was like a reckless man who was eager to make love. He didn't make the slightest test, but directly entered the sprint rhythm of full-strength fast break.
Don't give the Greek team a chance to breathe!
……
sidelines.
In front of the coach of the Greek team.
Otto the Great Rehhagel leaned on the guardrail of the coach bench with his arms folded, looking at the disciples who were beaten up by the strong English men like grandsons, the expression on his face was not surprised but joyful, his wise eyes flashed with excitement from time to time...
"...What? Crazy Li, you who are known as the [God on the Football Field], were you really stimulated by Spain's 4:1 victory just now? Hehe, are you already impatient to show the fans that you are the strongest one? In that case..."
"In that case, you will lose! It's a pity, I'm still too anxious...too young!"
Rehhagel quietly watched the England team eager to attack.
The leisurely and confident eyes seemed to see a furious lion chasing a group of disheveled hunters with disdain...
It's a pity that although he has already slapped away several guys who dared to challenge his majesty with his sharp claws, the proud lion obviously doesn't know that if he chases a few steps forward, he will fall into a deadly trap!
Four years ago, the French Gallic rooster, which died in this trap,
There are Czech iron hooves fluttering in white...
There is also Portugal with the golden generation such as Figo and Rui Costa!
This trap helped the Greek team sweep Europa in the 2004 European Cup in Portugal!
This trap is called European defensive counterattack!
A defensive counterattack performed to the extreme by Otto the Great Rehhagel!
……
On the field.
10 minutes have passed since the game.
The strong performance of the England team allowed the Three Lions to obtain almost 10% of the ball possession rate in these 80.00 minutes, 7 corner kicks, 3 effective shots, [-] of which hit the goal frame...
The comparison of the data is shocking!
The offensive and defensive situation on the scene also showed a one-sided trend.
Under the onslaught of the England team, the Greek team was firmly suppressed within the range of 40 meters of their own goal. Even the forwards Gunis and Yekas had to run back to their penalty area to participate in the defense at any time. Looking down from the sky above the pitch, 22 players on the green field, regardless of the goalkeeper, actually had as many as 16 people stepping on the Greek team's half...
At least on the surface, it looked more like a half-court offensive and defensive internal coaching match!
……
in the stands.
The fans of both sides have different expressions!
The huge advantage of the scene made the England fans in the stands go crazy, but the Greek fans in the blue camp fell into an anxious silence. The satellite broadcast footage passed over the stands from time to time, and the TV screen cleverly captured some interesting tidbits.
on the field.
England midfielder Frank Lampard fires a powerful long-range shot...
in the stands.
A bald-headed macho with red and white ink on his face, all painted with the cross flag of England, holding a prop cross sword in his hand, roaring with his mouth open, with an arrogant expression...
on the field.
Greek goalkeeper Nikopolidis falters to deflect Michael Owen's header from the line...
in the stands.
Wearing a blue and white tasseled Spartan warrior black iron helmet with a blue and white tassel on the top, the old Greek fan looked nervous and covered his heart with his hands...
on the field.
After Tangning made continuous feints like a butterfly piercing through a flower and broke through the cross, Crouch overwhelmed Greek defender Sitaridis with a header and slammed the goal...
in the stands.
Graceful and slender, a beautiful Greek girl dressed in the white robes of the Olympian gods in myths and legends, holding the scepter of Zeus in her hand, her big blue jewel-like eyes are full of anxiety and worry...
……
Of course, the English national wives group led by Spice Girl Victoria attracted the most shots.
This is a group of gorgeous women.
They have exquisite faces and great fame, stunning sunglasses in various colors on their faces, and wearing top-notch luxury brands from head to toe... In the North Stand of the Urs-Siezenheim Stadium, they formed a beautiful landscape.
It is obvious that, as David Beckham's main position in Madman Lee's England team is becoming more and more stable, Victoria, who was once taken away by Rooney's girlfriend Colin and Ashley Cole's flag Cheryl and other "up-and-coming stars", has once again risen strongly and become the leader of the wag...
……
on the commentary.
"...Michael Owen shot! Oh, God, unlucky!! Irving wasted another chance...He just missed the goal! Could it be that God King Zeus is really standing behind the goal of the Greek team today?"
This is Sester holding his head and exclaiming.
"Oh... ouch, oops, Crouch, what a chance!! The high center forward from Liverpool once again wasted a deadly corner kick from Beckham. I think England fans must miss the retired bomber Alan Shearer very much at this moment..."
This is brother Duan Xuan's unhurried commentary with his big head.
"...YES!! YES!! GOGOGOGOGO..." Sester convulsed like a black American rapper Puff Daddy: "Ashley Young! Ashley Young!! Go go go...beautiful, he entered the penalty area, look...see how to deal with it? Oh, foul, absolutely foul, haha, penalty...what? Goal kick? Shit, damn referee!"
"...25 minutes into the game, the England team has completely suppressed the defending champion! This is not beyond our expectations..."
Brother Duan Xuan’s unhurried character once again rang in the ears of Chinese fans: “But the score is still at 0:0. England must make some changes to solve this problem. If this situation of gaining power and not scoring continues, the Greek team’s counterattack will come…”
……
Time is still passing bit by bit.
Finally, even the England fans who were yelling wildly were a little anxious!
For the Three Lions, everything is already available, just a goal!
But it was this that was so easy to score before, but it was so difficult to produce under the defense of the Greek team's impregnable defense.On the contrary, the Greek fans who survived the heart-pounding period of the opening gradually became less anxious.
Because the scene in front of them gradually became familiar, they thought that they were suppressed 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 does not equal victory!
……
The coach of the England team.
Li Tongfan was wearing a light blue shirt by Fran Shirton, the hem was tucked into his trousers, and he stood coolly on the sideline of the court with his hands in his pockets, with a confident smile on his face all the time.
3 minutes later.
Lao Li turned his head to look at Otto the Great Rehhagel, who was also confident on the coaching bench of the Greek team not far away, then raised the watch on his wrist to check the time carefully, walked slowly to the sidelines and made another gesture asking the players to press hard and attack with all their strength.
Time is up!
Time to score!
……
34 minutes.
On the field.
England's eighth corner of the game.
The Greek team was still the same as the previous seven defensive corner kicks. Only the faster Yekas was left in the frontcourt, and all other players were 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 took the corner kick became Steven Downing!
Beckham entered the penalty area of the Greek team.
The Greeks did not pay enough attention to this small change, because David Beckham had already taken seven corner kicks, but did not pose enough threats.It is normal for the England team to change a corner kicker, and other teams will do the same.
Moreover, when arranging the tactics before the game, Rehhagel repeatedly emphasized that the same should be used to respond to all changes, [Yizheng Keqi], so the Greek team members firmly believed that as long as they strictly followed the head coach's tactical requirements and were not induced by crazy Lee's "trick" changes, they would be able to be foolproof in defense.
but……
Two or three seconds before Tangning took the corner kick on the left, Beckham sprinted back and forth four or five times in the penalty area and then suddenly withdrew from the Greek team's penalty area!
Then, the corner kick was taken at this moment!
Arrived... outside the restricted area!
David Beckham, who got rid of the defense, volleyed without waiting for the football to hit the ground!
Boom~~~
The Urs-Sitzenheim "volcano" that had accumulated energy for 35 minutes erupted!
The white football whizzed up bursts of scorching air, and shot lightning towards the crowded penalty area!
Wiping the side of the ear of the hastily blocked Greek midfielder Sidimons...
Rubbing the ends of John Terry's hair...
Wiping Michael Owen's fully raised forehead...
And in the end... Wiping the Greek goalkeeper's index finger, which was struggling to open, he slammed into the net that should have been smashed three or four times in the 35 minutes...
"...Goal scored!! David Beckham!! The captain scored England's first goal in this European Cup, a perfect start! God, we saw Madman Lee's gesture before the goal..."
3 stadium stands.
Twenty thousand England fans.
At this moment, whether it was the Urs-Siezenheim Stadium in front of us, or China's China and the British Isles thousands of miles away, they fell into endless frenzy at the same time.
on the field.
David Beckham, who scored the team's first goal, ran wildly, with long golden hair like a dancing bright flame.The teammates following behind quickly embraced the captain excitedly.
……
sidelines.
Li Tongfan smiled, and took a look with great interest at Otto the Great Rehhagel who had a calm face just now...
Sure enough, Rehhagel's face changed!
Get ugly!
Because, for Rehhagel, as long as the England team scores a goal, even just one goal, it is enough to completely bankrupt his defensive counterattack plan.
That's right, Emperor Otto believed in 1:0 doctrine!
However, the latter 0 is actually ten thousand times more important than the previous 1.Because once the opponent is not 0, even if the Greek team has achieved that hard-working 1, it will become meaningless.As long as they lose to the England team in the defense, the weak striker strength of the Greek team will definitely not be able to score more goals than the England team.
At this time, for the Greek team, there is no other way but to attack.The defense will definitely not bring them a victory when they are behind 0:1.
"Unexpectedly, it was a lucky goal that broke my perfect plan..."
Rehhagel came to the sidelines and made an offensive gesture.
……
Not far away, Li Tongfan who saw the helpless figure of Rehagel smiled triumphantly!
Balloon?
Do not!
That's BUG corner kick tactics!
Although the FM2008 system's big-level system task [Glory on the Top of Europe] has many restrictions, it seems that the loopholes in the system itself, such as BUG corner kick and BT corner kick, have not been restricted yet.
The European-style defensive counterattack performed to the extreme by Otto the Great is indeed 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 hastily switched from defense to offense after conceding a goal, is not England's opponent at all.
David Beckham, Michael Owen and Steven Taylor, the three players who can maintain [Superman status] one front, one center and one back, helped the England team dominate the next game.
……
48 minutes.
"...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Michael Owen!! The second goal, a sharp defensive counterattack, Owen's lightning-like speed finally took advantage..."
……
55 minutes.
"...Unbelievable! Another goal!! David Beckham took a corner kick. The national team rookie Steven Taylor took the lead and shook his head to attack the goal. The goalkeeper of the Greek team did not respond! 3:0, the game is over for the Greek team!!"
……
67 minutes.
"...Aww, God!! Crouch's ingenious ferry, Irving blasted a powerful shot near the penalty area line!! Haha, 4:0!!! This is an atypical Irving goal! What a wonderful moment!!"
……
The game has lost suspense here.
Li Tongfan replaced Lampard with Gerrard, replaced Downing with Joe Cole, and replaced Michael Owen with rookie Daniel Sturridge!
All three substitutions were used up in one go!
After the substitution, the England team still did not relax their offensive, wave after wave of offense was as continuous as a raging tsunami driven by a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean.
But until the end of the game, the Three Lions did not score again.
Gerrard and Joe Cole, who came off the bench, were in very bad shape.
Because the two of them are the five members of the FM2008 system who had negative [views] because of the dismissal of the three of Walcott.This is exactly the only reason why Lao Li unexpectedly put Gerrard in the starting list.
Now that two people are playing, Li Tongfan hopes to eliminate the negative opinion of these two people through the game.It's like getting famous in an online game novel, let Gerald return to normal state as soon as possible.
……
In the 91st minute of the game, the Greek team's defensive counterattack finally worked once.
The 2004 European Cup hero Charles Steas, who came off the bench, grabbed a header in front of the goal and scored a goal. The score of the game was finally fixed at 4:1!
Force-force-force~~~
When the referee's final whistle finally sounded, the Urs-Sitzenheim Stadium instantly became the hottest and craziest place in the entire Europa continent.
For England fans, for 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 enhance the atmosphere of the European Cup through other angles.After all, the European Cup has just begun, and the real highlight is the matchup between the giants.
Finally, thanks to: Bai Lanxin, MariaAn, Fay0617, Leidong duo, Youlan Fox, Beiji の Hibernation Pig, Zhongxiaoqi, Wuyan 82, Agent Code G-8, I Love Smoking, Drinking, Almighty God, Dai Fei, Shi Qinghuan, Jiantian Bamo, Mao Quack, Hee Hee Ha 321 and other enthusiastic swordsmen for their rewards, Xiaodao bows and thanks!
