Chapter 343: The Fatal Hour

readx;

The wind is up!

Cloud Movement!

On the green fields of Ernst Happel, there is a dazzling scene that shakes everyone's mind!

Because, standing in front of the Three Lions coach's bench, the most terrifying "ruler" in football since the beginning of the 21st century, once again raised that "notorious" middle finger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Suddenly, there was a buzz in the stands of the stadium!

In the 60th minute of the game, the English finally waited for their long-awaited scene, and it would be a pity to think about the glory of the Three Lions reaching the European Championship final in their history.

Next, it's up to him to see what kind of surprise this delicate but unimaginably magical middle finger can bring to his supporters!

…… on the field.

Alan Smith turned his back to defender Hitzelsberg and gently flicked his left ankle back in the face of Beckham's passing football, then quickly spun 180 degrees to the right, and used a deft back ball to cut away the opponent's marking...... Then, in an instant, accelerate and rush forward.

A slight poke of his toe before the ball was tackled by Schweinsteiger, a red figure whistled past in the diagonal stab, and the ball was moved forward by Alan Smith's pass, continuing to launch a frontal assault on the German midfield.

David Beckham:

In the night breeze, the long golden hair danced like a bright flame!

And Alan Smith, who has never looked behind to observe the running position of his teammates, seems to have known that Beckham will rush out from behind to respond, and after poking the football from the feet of Piggy Schweinsteiger, he did not stop to qualify, even a fraction of a microsecond, jumped up and jumped directly over the piggy's fallen body, and continued to rush forward!

Alan Smith, who was off the ball, was largely unhindered.

Because the German team's defensive focus is concentrated on the side of David Beckham, who is holding the ball. Ballack and Frings pinched left and right from the start of Beckham's fourth run with the ball. Frings is a full-time defensive midfielder, and Ballack's defensive ability is not weak, and Beckham, who is not good at dribbling, wants to use his personal skills to dribble through is obviously tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!

So, Beckham chose to break down the Germans' defence in the way he does best - passing!

With a careless pass, the football came to the feet of Alan Smith who rushed to the front in the most comfortable and reasonable way!

A typical two-by-three!

It was too late and too fast, and everything just happened in a dozen seconds, and three simple passes, each of which seemed to be pre-programmed, easily found the weakest link in the German team's defensive system...... Two people, three touches of the ball, tore the tough midfield that the German Chariot is proud of to pieces!

And next, it is the German team's backline that will face the challenge!

Real Madrid's centre-back Metzelder was the first to burst out.

Alan Smith deliberately slowed down the movement of his feet, and stepped on the spot without touching the ball at a high frequency, in the face of such a fake and real feint, Metzelder could only choose to compress the space, lower the center of gravity, and press still! Because as long as you kick out, there is no doubt that the opponent will take advantage of the situation and instantly shake off the opportunity to shoot...... In that case, it could be a disaster for the German team!

As soon as Alan Smith's speed dropped, the German midfielders finally got a precious siege time, and Schweinsteiger, who had already risen from the ground, Ballack and Frijns, who turned and chased back, were just a meter or two away from touching Smith's back...... However, the Germans, who were too focused on invading their own penalty area with the ball, made another mistake!

Because, once again, they ignore the no-team players!

……“…… England's counter-attack...... Alan Smith slowed down in front of the box and tried to use his footwork to force Metzeld...... It didn't work out, it was a really bad choice, the speed of the counter-attack was talked about, and the German midfielders got time to catch up......"

“…… I have to say that it may have been a mistake for Crazy Lee to start Alan Smith today, and the ball would have been passed to Michael Owen in front of him in the German penalty area, and maybe a good shot on goal......"...... If Germany's second bizarre goal shouldn't blame the Newcastle midfielder, this time the Newcastle midfielder's handling of the ball was too procrastinating...... Typical performance of delayed fighters...... Belch? Passed the ball? When did Beckham run to the left side of the box? ”

The narrator exclaimed.

…… It turned out that in the moment when the German team's midfielder and defenders were combined, Alan Smith chose to pass!

It's still a very sudden stab!

The ball flew between Metzelde's legs and scurried to Beckham's feet. Alan Smith, who finished passing the ball, immediately drilled out of the gap and pulled towards the right side of the German team's penalty area. This time the Germans did not repeat the mistakes of the previous two times, and Schweinsteiger followed closely behind Smith...... Bang!

In the face of Smith's pass, Beckham did not stop the ball and crossed with his feet.

The situation on the field changed from slow to extremely fast in an instant!

In the box, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney have long sharpened their knives and carried defenders with their backs to them. Although the two guys did not have an advantage in the face of Medsak, a "tall man" with a body length of nearly two meters, when Beckham's half-meter-long ball passed into the penalty area, Owen's flexible skills at his feet were instantly displayed!

First kick, stop the ball!

The second kick, step on the ball!

On the third foot, after making a feint to turn around, he suddenly sent the football out gently!

This time the ball made everyone stunned, and finally entered the penalty area, why did it send it out again? But soon, the question was answered - boom!

A red flame outside the penalty area shoots at the ball sent by Owen!

David Beckham!

David Beckham who quickly cut inside after passing the ball to the middle!

……“…… David Beckham's shot! Whew, the ball is in!! It's really in! The soccer ball grazed the left post of the goal and rolled into the net!! Lehmann judged Beckham's shot in the right direction, but the Three Lions captain's shot was too awkward......

“…… gooooal!!! goal…… goal…… goal!!! Seist, the British commentator, jumped up from the commentary booth with the microphone in a crazy manner: "Crazy Lee's middle finger is amazing, this goal is only 59 seconds after he raised his middle finger...... 2:2!! England stubbornly equalised! The Germans relied on luck to get the goal, while we defended our dignity with good teamwork and real strength...... It doesn't get much better than that......"

“…… Pretty! It's so beautiful! A wonderful combination!! Three people! Fifteen touches! Thirteen passes! Alan Smith, Michael Owen, David Beckham...... The Englishman toyed with the pride of the Germans' midfield defence...... The goal took just 59 seconds! It was the shortest time to recover the score in this tournament and the two sides were back on the same page......"

…… Bang!

The Ernst Happel Stadium is really starting to tremble!

After experiencing hope, disappointment, and despair, the huge psychological gap has made England fans fall into a demonic disease, and more than 20,000 people cheered together like countless horses trampling the earth and raising dust and galloping.

Even Queen Elizabeth, who had been smiling in the VIP box, couldn't help but jump up, laughing and clapping at the court...... In stark contrast to the exclamation of German Chancellor Mock, and the hideous crouch of [Master Tactician] Loew crouching on the sidelines to catch a large piece of grass clippings...... The other side.

Li Tongfan, who has been frowning since the second half, breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got the score back!

While the only point of the quest limit [Free Desire Points] has been consumed, and the frequent middle finger pretending to be a bit outdated and suspicious, it ...... Lee Tong Fan has no choice!

Because only this mysterious goalscoring process can restore the morale and confidence of the England players who were struck by two unbelievable luck goals from the German team.

Through this thunderous counterattack, Li Tongfan's purpose is obvious, that is, to make the Germans aware of the existence of the middle finger that has been magicalized! Let the Germans be afraid! Let the Germans tremble! The Germans subconsciously suffered all the time in the torment of worrying that the middle finger would appear again and snatch the championship...... Fight back with a weird goal to concede a weird goal!

Take a hair of the dog that bit you!

Pass all the psychological pressure on the German team and ...... Let God explain everything!

…… Germany's midfield kicks off again.

By now, the game has been going on for more than sixty minutes. This means that in the short time remaining, no matter which team scores first, even one, it has a good chance of winning the title. Moreover, the magic middle finger of Li Tongfan just now did make the German team from coach Loew to every player on the field subconsciously fearful, and the German team played more carefully in comparison!

Sidelines.

Although he had successfully pulled back a game by using the only point [All-you-can-go points], Lee Tong-fan's mood became more and more nervous as the game time passed.

Because, the last random mistake of the system of [Curse of the Ball King] has not yet arrived! In stark contrast, Li Tongfan has used up all his hole cards, and all the points and status bonuses have been consumed!

So if the third mistake comes in the final minutes of the game, it will be an irreparable disaster for England.

…… In the stands.

The unknown England fans are still cheering, they are waiting for this [God on the side of the football field] to raise that omnipotent middle finger for the second time to give the Germans a fatal blow, who knows that at this moment the "God" has already lost all his mana and fallen to the mortal world, without any ability to influence the game!

Time passes.

75th minute...... 83rd minute...... 85th minute...... 87th minute...... The virtual screen over the Ernst Happel Stadium was always moving towards the end of the game, and the fourth official unfurled an electronic sign on the sidelines with three minutes of stoppage time...... 88th minute...... 89th minute...... 90th minute...... Li Tongfan felt that his heart was like dust that had been put on the drum surface, and the drum beat faster and faster as time passed...... When will the last [Curse of the Ball King] come?
