The game continues!

As the time progressed minute by minute in the cheers of the Italian fans and the increasingly passionate "Song of the Madman" by the English fans, Donadoni, who had been thinking quickly, finally found a clue!

The England team, in fact, has changed a long time ago!

It's just that this change is not reflected in tactics, but in ...... In momentum!

A majestic momentum that gradually unfolds!

If the Three Lions in the first half were a dragon that fell into an eternal slumber and was bullied, then after just fifteen minutes of halftime, the madman Li didn't know what method he used to revive this terrifying dragon!

On the pitch, the England players showed even more competitiveness!

Running just got faster!

Dribbling just got a whole lot simpler!

Breakthroughs just got sharper!

Passing has become more precise and deadly!

Defence is more solid...... And the shovel robbery has become more ferocious!

…… Seeing this, Donadoni knew he had to do something!

Because, in the face of the Chinese man who can effortlessly create miracles at any time and in any place, even if you can't be too cautious!

So, the Italian coach rushed to the sidelines, shouted to attract the attention of his disciples, and then stretched out his arms and made a downward motion, signaling the blue-clad soldiers to hold steady!

Yes, be steady!

Can't let Crazy Lee and his England team get into their own rhythm!

And after seeing the manager's gesture, the brain of the Azzurri, the Italian man Pirlo, who seemed to be sleepy on the pitch forever, immediately retreated his position a few dozen meters, and then began to pass the ball more sideways and backwards, trying his best to slow down the pace of the game and not let England's fast attack get bigger!

And after Donadoni made the gesture of "steady", Li Tongfan also responded in the increasingly high-pitched tone of "Song of the Madman" - his hands kept waving and pressing forward!

Do you want to be steady?

Bah!

Lao Tzu doesn't let you be stable!

Lao Li's trump card against the [brain] Pirlo, who controls the rhythm of the Italian team, is none other than Steven Gerrard, the soul of the Red Army Liverpool!

Two men, one of the figures who has been called one of the people who changed modern football, and the other who led his team-mate to create the most incredible comeback in the history of the Champions League final on the night in Istanbul...... After a lapse of three years, it seems that they are destined to collide together!

It turns out that it is not for nothing that Gerrard has been praised by the master Zinedine Zidane as an excellent midfielder in Europe in recent years, and when Liverpool's team spirit puts all his energy into the confrontation with a specific person, even if this person is the powerful Pirlo, it will seem inadequate!

And in this way, Li Tongfan's abacus succeeded!

Because, Lao Li did not expect Gerrard to be able to overwhelm Pirlo subversively, as long as he could disrupt Pirlo's control of the rhythm of the Blue Coats, the goal would be achieved. In the Italian team, except for [Brain] Pirlo, the other team members, whether it is the rising star De Rossi or the unpredictable Cassano, are too poor in terms of overall control!

On the contrary, there is an invincible midfielder like David Beckham in the England team who maintains this [superhuman form]. The characteristics of Xiaobei's large-scale and accurate long passes make it difficult for him to be killed, and the England team's frontcourt Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen are both speed maniacs, and the pace of the game is unconsciously fast!

The England team seems to have finally regained a little advantage!

When it comes to on-the-spot command, Donadoni is already more than a step behind Li Tongfan, who has greatly increased his ability!

And the whole process is complicated to say, but in fact, it is very fast, and the adjustments of Donadoni and Lee Tongfan are completed in a few seconds, so until this time, the second half of the game has only been played for less than 2 minutes!

47th minute.

The referee's whistle blew.

on the field.

Gareth Barry, who came on at left wing-back after replacing Manzioni in the second half, brought down Cassano who tried to break through from the right again with a vicious tackle, and the French referee awarded Italy a free-kick!

A 45-degree angle on the right side of the Three Lions' penalty area!

It's about 35 meters from the goal!

This position is not suitable for direct shots, so it seems that the Italian team is ready to take a free-kick combination. Chiellini, Luca Toney, De Rossi, Perrotta and other headers gathered in the England team's penalty area, and the third is that the big men such as Terry and Steven Taylor in the legion did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly marked people according to the requirements of the owner of the halftime lounge...... It's already 0:2 behind, and if you concede another goal, it's really hopeless!

And the person standing behind the football is the [brain] Pirlo!

In FM2008, Andrea Pirlo was one of the few super free-kick masters to match David Beckham in free-kicks!

Forcing Pirlo to step back, look up at the box and start running...... Swing the legs...... Bang!!

The inside of the foot slams into the bottom of the ball...... A white arc, like a deadly bayonet, slammed into the England team's penalty area!

At this moment, Li Tongfan, who was standing on the sidelines, contracted sharply in his pupils!

Because, according to the FM2008 system, Pirlo's free kick ...... Entered!

……“…… Italy's free-kick, handled by Andrea Pirlo...... Look at this ball...... Whew, God!! Direct attack? From this angle, Pirlo actually chose to hit the door directly? The ball arced in the air and flew towards the right near corner of the goal......"

"Dead end! Dangerous!! Joe Hart!! ”

During the whole free-kick penalty process, the British commentator Sester who almost vomited out his heart in fright only had time to shout three words to describe it, and when he finished shouting these three words, the situation on the field changed again - the unpredictable free kick taken by Pirlo was easily grasped by Joe Hart.

As if he had known that Pirlo would take a direct penalty from a tight angle, Joe Hart didn't even have the slightest energy to care about his team-mates and enemies in the box, but blocked it early on the right side of the goal...... This scene is so familiar!

In the second game of the group stage of Group D, England vs. Spain, Joe Hart showed such terrifying prediction ability, and easily grabbed Barcelona's [ventilator] Xavi's stunning free kick shot!

The exclamations of the fans in the stands instantly turned into applause, and then ...... Then, suddenly, the applause turned sharply into exclamations!

“…… Joe Hart! The young goalkeeper saved England and kept hope alive for the Three Lions...... Woo, the hand tossed the ball and launched a quick counterattack, smart!! It was a rare opportunity for Italy to play up a gap at the back for that free-kick......"

“…… The ball fell to David Beckham, who made the first big foot and made a long pass...... It's time for the front...... Rooney!! England had a great chance on the counter-attack......"

As the commentators described hoarsely, England fought back!

A sharp counterattack after the Italian team pressed all the way to grab a free kick in front!

Rooney received a pass from Beckham and ran along the right side of the pitch with the ball all the way, the little fat man's speed was no less than Owen's at this moment vividly displayed, Italy's defender Grosso was like a leopard galloping to hunt with all his might, and he used his long legs to chase after him, but the distance between the two was getting farther and farther apart...... The only Italian defender to stay at the back, Panucci, had no choice but to run from the middle to the right to entangle, hoping to delay a little time and create a chance for his team-mate to return to the defence, but ...... Rooney doesn't have the idea of going it alone!

At this moment, the little fat man passed the ball as he had done countless times for teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United!

A very simple half-high ball to the middle!

At this moment, the exclamations in the stands suddenly reached the most!

Because, as expected by countless England fans, a white figure came out of everyone's sight, like angry lightning!

Michael Owen!

It's Michael Owen again!

Sure enough, it's Michael Owen!

At this time, the Italian backline has been crushed by Rooney's pass, and there is no obstacle in front of Owen except for Buffon, who is known as the world's No. 1 goalkeeper!

Stopping the ball and then using a feint to dribble past Gianluigi Buffon or deflect an angled shot seemed like the best option at this moment, but ...... Owen had no intention of stopping the ball at all!

In the past, the wind-chasing teenager didn't wait for the football to land, and shot directly at the ball!

Bang!

Loud noise!

Then, the net behind the goal line of the Azzurri flickered, and finally the stilling football set off a thrilling net...... At this moment, Buffon, known as the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, could only wave his hand in vain in the face of such a shot, and when the flight speed of the football exceeded the limit of human reactions, anyone standing in Buffon's position could not do anything!

A powerful shot on goal!

In the impression of all fans who know Owen, this should not be the ball that Owen shot at all!

Domineering!

Michael Owen...... Michael Owen ...... Michael Owen! Shot!! ~~~~goooooooooooooooal！！！！ God, the ball has finally gone in! Owen chose one of the most exhilarating ways to send the ball into the Italian team's goal! ”

“1：2！ England pulled a goal back! The goal gave hope to the Three Lions, and the magic of the madman Lee seemed to be gradually returning, and less than 2 minutes after Owen was substituted, he scored a goal for the team, terrifying efficiency, it was the fifth goal of the Newcastle striker in three games! ”

“…… It was Wayne Rooney, who had been suspended for the group stage, who passed the ball for Owen, and there were many people who questioned the need to recruit a striker who could not play the first three games for the team before the start of the European Championship, but Maniac Lee shattered all that with today's arrangement. Wayne Rooney's assist gave England hope of a comeback and Italy started to get nervous......"

In the stands.

England fans almost fell into a fainting of excitement at this moment!

Although they were still one goal behind, Owen's goal gave them hope again! As soon as the man standing in front of the team's dugout starts to fight back, everything looks easy!

“…… There is only one rice bucket in the world, and you are our madman...... You are full of courage and bring us victory...... Fearless...... Invincible ......"

The song of the madman is even more high-pitched because of the goal!

And it is not only the more than 20,000 English fans at Happel Stadium in Vienna who are in a happy syncope, but also crazy scenes in the British Isles and the land of China in China at the same time!

No one can stop him, come and witness the miracle!
