On the computer screen, Steven Gerrard, wearing the red England No.8 shirt, blasted the ball into the goal to the boos of the German fans. Wearing headphones, the man in the suit couldn't help but raise his arms and cheer loudly.

Even though it's work time, no one is surprised by his actions, because everyone is doing the same thing as him. More than a dozen pairs of arms were raised in the office and cheered together.

However, this situation is only a special case, and more companies and enterprises, including the political axe department, have left work early at this time. More people gather in the bars that can be found everywhere in the streets to drink beers and watch the game with friends.

The radio in each taxi was locked to the radio station broadcasting the game, and not only the passengers, but also the drivers themselves were watching the game.

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

After seeing Gerrard score the penalty, all of them cheered as if no one was around. Of course, Liverpool fans were the happiest because it was their captain who helped England equalise.

"England equalised! Now we see the hope of victory again! The Germans were still protesting the penalty, but no matter how many times they watched the replays, the referee had no problem with the decision! "Narrator John. Once again, Mortensen emphasised the issue of penalties.

"Yes! No problem! The fans yelled at him.

In fact, it doesn't matter if there is a problem, the fans are not saints. It's a very cool thing to be able to score against Germany, but what's even more refreshing is that there are still problems with the goal itself, such as being offside first, and being judged to have crossed the line without crossing the goal line...... That's why England fans like to talk about the 1966 World Cup final and taunt the Germans.

Every time Germany's "football emperor" Beckenbauer came to London, he would be pulled out by the taxi driver to talk about the final of the year, otherwise he would hardly be able to leave the airport. The drivers wanted to ask him if he thought Hearst's goal had crossed the goal line that year.

Of course, technology proved that the ball did not cross the line completely, but the English just enjoyed the result.

Back at the Estadio Nova Mestalla in Valencia, England fans in the stands are singing loudly and cheering for England. German fans opted for silence. At this time, the 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 fierce battle in the stands.

Thankfully, none of this happened.

Summerer was disappointed with the goal and now he has to rethink how he should play the next game. You can be conservative when you are leading by one goal, and now it is equalized?

There is no news yet on the other fixture, and it looks like Portugal and Wales should also be a draw. In their current form, if both games end in a draw and the four teams are tied on four points, Germany will remain top of the group on goal difference and qualify. Even if the game is decided, whether Portugal wins or Wales wins, Germany will finish second in the group ahead of England on goal difference. England, on the other hand, finished third in the group and will have to look at the results of the other groups to determine whether they qualify as one of the top four group finishers and qualify.

For Germany, they will qualify as long as they don't lose, and they have more room to manoeuvre than England.

Summerer is a person who cares more about the result than face, and since he can guarantee qualification without losing, he will win the draw. If they press out to attack at this time, it is likely that England will seize the opportunity to go to the next city, and then they will lose the game and their positions with England will be reversed.

In his playing days, Matthias. Summerer has been hailed as the world's best "free man" since Beckenbauer and Baresi. Mechanically trained in East Germany, he emphasized discipline and was an impassable iron gate in the German backline. He doesn't care if the football he plays is beautiful, artistic, or ornamental, he only cares about the result, football is a sport that pursues victory, and if you can't win, then the effort is meaningless.

As a manager, he has stuck to that view.

He decided to let the team continue to focus on defense, supplemented by counter-attacks. You don't have to score against England, you just have to be able to keep the scoreline.

※※※

Contrary to Summer's conservatism, Don did not choose conservative power at this time. He has to attack, and he can only attack. So standing on the sidelines, he waved his hand, and England pressed all over the line and launched a siege on the German team. The first half turned upside down.

England desperately tried to get the ball over Mitchel's head from the wing, but unfortunately the penalty could only be won once, and Mitchel was caught in the middle of the German giants' defenders and did nothing. At this time, he must have regretted why he didn't pay attention to strength exercises.

Donn watched from the sidelines for a while and found that blind crosses from the wings were easy to defend against by the Germans, who had a height advantage and headers were not a good idea. So taking advantage of a dead ball, he called Walcott to his side. Tell him not to cross again, but to break through with the ball and cut in.

The German defender is tall but not agile in turning. This is where it can be utilized.

Jensen was fast, and Walcott didn't have much advantage in this regard, so Donn let Walcott and Cohen often switch their surnames, with Walcott going to the left and Cohen coming to the right.

With a right-footed player to the left for an inside shot, Donn was looking to create chaos in Germany's tight defence.

The effect was evident when Theo Walcoat moved to the left, and the Germans did not expect Donn to do so. Because neither Cohen nor Walcott are all-around players, Cohen can only use his left foot, and Walcott's left-footed technique is miserable compared to his right foot, Summerer never thought that Donn would let the two switch positions, so he didn't make any arrangements for surnames.

The German players defended very awkwardly. After all, the technical movements and habits of players who are good at the left foot and those who are good at the right foot are different, and if they are used to the former, they will cause habitual thinking, so that when he faces another kind of player with the dominant foot, he will make a mistake in judging the qualification.

Lahm is a great full-back and he plays Chris on the wing. Cohen was out of temper, but he was a little embarrassed by Walcott's speed break.

Walcott accelerates...... Stop-and-turn, inward-cut! Beautiful, he shook Ram away! Shot!! ”

Adler punched the ball out with both fists and then ranted at Lahm, unhappy with his team-mates' defense.

Soon Walcott made a comeback, but this time when Lahm prevented him from cutting inside, he chose to force his way down, and then faced Lahm catching up with the ball and pulled the ball back, turned and switched to his good right foot to cross again. It's a pity that Rooney's shot was missed by Westermann's interference, but it also made the Germans break out in a cold sweat.

"You can't let him do such nonsense!" Adler yelled at his teammates, "No matter what you do, don't let him into the box!" ”

Walcott's activity is a big headache for the Germans, and Donn sees the advantage of this dexterous player against tall defenders. He decided to make a substitution.

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

Mock was a little surprised. Although he was brought to Spain, he was widely considered by the media to have little hope of appearing on the field, and belonged to the same fate as the third goalkeeper. Because in front of him there is Walcott, who is firmly in the main position, and Bentley, who is very good at crossing. He has no advantage in addition to his own skills, his body is not good, his speed is not fast, and his physical strength is not good...... It was a great surprise to be brought to Spain by Donne, which made the media talk about it, saying that Donn must have brought him out of the psychology of "taking care of his own people".

But now he has a chance to play!

Mock hurriedly put on his white vest and rushed out.

Five minutes later, he stood in front of Don out of breath.

Tang En glanced at the kid who had been taught him a hard lesson: "You're tired after only five minutes of running?" ”

Mock hurriedly closed his mouth that was open because of panting, and shook his head: "Don't be tired, head!" I was just...... Excited! "Actually, he was a little nervous. The first time I played for the national team, it turned out to be against an opponent like Germany, and it was fake if I wasn't nervous.

Don looked at him and smiled, "Just don't be nervous." I want you to come on and replace Cohen, he doesn't play much on the right flank, you go up and use your skills and dribbling ability to break through from the wing into the box and create chaos and chances. Donn pointed to the field and said to Mock.

Mock nodded as he listened.

'If you can't break through, then create set-pieces. Of course, it's better to take a penalty. Don laughed.

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

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

Cohen didn't contribute much in attack, but his aggressive defensive play in the first half helped relieve a lot of pressure on the team's backline. Now England don't need to focus on defense, his role is very small.

"Well done, Chris." Don shook hands with Cohen, who walked down, and praised him for his performance.

Mock's appearance immediately strengthened England's attack. England are no longer cripples on one leg in attack, whether it is Walcott on the left or Mock on the right, they have excellent dribbling skills, and they can play the German defenders around by themselves.

Just as the Germans were putting their defensive focus on the right flank, Mock was coming alive again.

Mock wasn't fast, but he was more skilled on his feet than Walcott, and Jensen was played around by him. Several times he had to foul to stop Mock's breakthrough.

※※※

"Aha! Well done, Mock! He made his first appearance for the national team without any stage fright, and look at his breakthrough...... Heel knock the ball and change direction! Passed! "John. Mortenson shouted excitedly.

After Mock passed Jensen, he used his body to protect the ball so that Jensen could not easily break the ball, and then he began to drill into the box.

Facing Mertesacker, who came up to make up for the defense, Mock planned to pass through the crotch. The football was pushed through, but the others were blocked by Mertesacker. Mock, who fell to the ground on his back, raised his hand to take the ball, but the referee signaled him to get up quickly and not to waste time.

This time it was Donn'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 Don scolded a few words and closed his mouth.

Now that his team is dominant, the German's counter-attack is not threatening, and he is not too agitated. If there are only ten minutes left in the game, he will not give up.

※※※

Gerrard once again played the ball to Mock on the right and saw him get the ball. Schweinsteiger ran up to defend. Mock walked the ball past the opponent along the sideline, and then faced with a blockade in front and a chasing soldier, he distributed the ball to Michael, who came up to meet him. Johnson, after passing the ball, he continued to rush forward. Johnson was also smart enough to pass the ball back to him, two-over-one!

Jensen learned wisely this time, and instead of rushing out of the way, he followed Mock backwards. He only tried to break the ball after forcing Mock near the corner flag. Unexpectedly, with his back to him to protect the ball, Mock pinned his foot, hooked the ball between Jensen's legs with the arch of his foot, and then quickly turned around and wiped him!

Asked Jensen's Mock to catch up with the ball on the baseline, and this time against the opponent Mertesacker, who blocked him last time, he did not choose to wear the crotch, but made a shot on goal.

With the invitation so close to the goal, Mertesacker did not dare not make a move to block it. Mock took advantage of his leg to shoot and pulled the ball back, then flicked his left foot and dodged in behind Mertesacker.

While Adler was hesitating to attack and expand the blocking area, Mock passed!

The ball passed under Westerman's crotch, Wayne. Rooney broke free of Rolfes's entanglement at the moment of Mock's pass and burst forward, all he had to do in the face of a huge empty goal was to put his foot out and block......

Adler turned and pounced on Rooney, but he was a step too late.

"Mock's pass...... Rooney, Rooney, roooooooo – gooooal!! Easy push! England leads Germany 2:1! Mortenson stood up from his seat with the microphone.

England fans cheered when Mork got past Mertesacker, and the cheers finally reached their peak after Wayne Rooney smashed the ball into the back of the net.

"Hooray—England!!"

※※※

There was nothing the German players could do about the goal conceded, and the diminutive Mork was like a monkey in the jungle, and their strong bodies could not stop at all, but could only become an obstacle to the defence. In this way, everyone watched as Mock nimbly turned around and got rid of it, stirred up a miasma in front of the German team's goal, and then sent the football to the most dangerous place......

Summer's angry punch slammed into the awning behind him. Then, thinking that this punch was not enough to vent his anger, he punched again.

He didn't make timely adjustments to Donn's substitutions, which led to serious consequences. His anger was a dissatisfaction with his slow response.

Next door, Donn rushed to the sideline to hug Walker, and Mock, who had just been replaced for less than ten minutes, became the leader of the lead, which showed that his substitution worked.

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

Don quickly calmed down, "Don't be too happy, Des. Beware of the Germans' counterattack. We have to continue to strengthen our attack and try to score another goal. ”

He broke free from the excited crowd and waited for the players on the pitch to end their celebrations before telling them his latest instructions.

Looks like he'll have to wait a little longer, though. The England players who had beaten Germany were excited, and Wayne Rooney had intended to celebrate his goal standing up, but now he was lying on the ground in celebration – he was crushed under his happy team-mates.

England fans obviously won't have Donn to worry about it, and they just want to cheer and celebrate as their side take the lead over arch-rivals Germany. Whether it's at the New Mestalla Stadium or in England, the singing of Rooney's praise is heard everywhere.

Everyone saw a bright prospect of them stepping on the corpse of the Germans to advance to the round of sixteen. It's a future that excites you just thinking about it......
