No. 677: The situation is grim!
England left-back Ashley Cole didn't give up, only to see him take a step forward, his center of gravity dropped, and his right foot slid sharply towards the football on the turf.
But the ball was so fast that his right foot didn't touch the ball at all, and the ball went through the goal line and into the net!
Spanish national television roared: "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! Entered! ……”
Sky TV commentator Kent said bitterly: "It was an accident, Villa's shot hit Terry's leg and changed direction, and Oakes didn't have time to react.
Football matches are like that, an accident can often change the situation, England must step up their attacking efforts and try to equalise early! ”
German national television shouted: "The Spaniard's series of crosses in front of the England penalty area tore apart England's tight defence, and Villa scored his sixth goal of the tournament to give Spain a one-goal lead!"
Once the Spaniards play their rhythm and play fluid, they are the most difficult team in the world to beat!
England, without the king, are lackluster in attack and can hardly threaten the goalkeepers of Casillas, let alone score goals. In this respect, the king's role in England was very important! ”
At this moment, the Spanish fans turned the Johannesburg Football City stadium into a joyful red world, and their screams, cheers, and applause made people deaf.
England fans are in pain as their team falls behind......
Capello, who was standing in the command area, looked helpless, not because there was anything wrong with his tactics, on the contrary, his tactics were very successful and did not give the Spaniards too many opportunities to attack.
It was a complete accident.
The bench behind him was silent, Wang Rui looked serious, a team like Spain really can't give them any chance, as long as they are the slightest negligent, they can seize the opportunity and score your goal.
Not far away, the veteran Spanish coach Bosque, who was standing in the command area, let out a long breath and the pressure on his shoulders plummeted, a goal that could rebuild his team's confidence and take control of the game.
The bench behind him let out a long howl of joy......
In the VIP box, the Queen of England shrugged regretfully, Prince Harry, who was sitting on her right, covered his face in pain, and Prince William, who was sitting on her left, looked solemn.
Not far away, Queen Sofia, Felipe **** and Princess Leticia of Spain stood up and applauded happily as their teams broke the deadlock and scored.
Bobby Charlton and Geoff? Hurst looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and the former sighed: "The impact of Wang's absence is too great, Gillard and Lampard are indeed inferior to him in deadly passes, and England cannot lack players like Wang."
Even if he is injured, Capello should consider a substitution. ”
Geoff? Hirst nodded and said, "yes, I came tonight for another purpose, to see him match or even surpass Fontaine's goalscoring record." ”
Bobby Charlton raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Your wish may be in vain, even if Wang has no injuries, it will be too difficult for him to score two goals in the final." ”
Geoff? Hearst said mysteriously, "I have a hunch that the king will surprise us tonight. ”
Bobby Charlton shook his head and said nothing, how is this possible?
……
Sky TV commentator Kent encouraged the England team: "In the semi-finals, we also conceded first, and played more with less for a long time, but it was us who had the last laugh, not the opponent!"
Come on, England!
Come on, England warriors, you still have a lot of time to equalize! ”
On the pitch, Villa, who scored the goal, went completely crazy and he began to run wildly on the turf, it was the World Cup final, he was the first player in the history of Spain to score in the World Cup, and his name will forever remain in the history of football in Spain!
The Spanish players ran on the turf after Villa, roaring with joy......
Girard continued to comfort Terry and Oakes, and as captain he knew that what his teammates needed most at this time was encouragement.
Thousands of miles away, the land of Spain thundered with joy, while the land of England was in utter silence......
……
At the headquarters of Nike in the United States, CEO Mark Parker had a gloomy face, and if England lost this game, the large amount of advertising they invested in Wang Rui would be greatly reduced.
'Call Triesmann again and tell him that the king will play at the start of the second half and that's our bottom line. If we can't even meet this content, then we have to add a clause to our sponsorship contract with England, and the next England manager must ask for our consent! ”
Mark Parker gave the order to the head of the company's public relations department, and the head of the public relations department hurriedly walked out of the room to convey his meaning.
"Damn Italians, you're going to pay dearly for your stubbornness!"
Still angry, Mark Parker scolded.
Everyone here knows how much Nike spent on Wang Rui, and if England didn't get the Hercules Cup as they wished, they would lose at least $500 million, if not more.
The World Cup runner-up is too different from the champion, and people will always remember that they are the champions and the winners.
The manager of the company's human resources department said cautiously: "Maybe this is a good thing for us." ”
Mark Parker's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to have a seizure, but he seemed to understand what the HR manager meant at once.
"Go and call Nandez back, go quickly, the king can play a little later, but at least give him half an hour, oh no, maybe twenty minutes will be enough!"
"Go!"
……
At the Johannesburg Soccer City Stadium, two minutes after Spain's goal, the game restarted, and England, who were behind the score, launched a crazy attack!
In the 35th minute of the first half, Girard forced a break through Iniesta in the hinterland, and then fired a long-range shot, and the ball was wide of the goal!
In the 37th minute, Kenting stole Andres Iniesta's pass to Xavi near the centre circle, and England launched a quick counter-attack.
Frank Lampard took Kenting's pass and dribbled forward, and under the pressure of Sergio Busquets, he crossed diagonally into the box!
He wanted to create a chance for Wayne Rooney on the right, but unfortunately the pass was too far into the middle, and Puyol smashed the ball off the line with a flying tackle.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, England won a throw-in in front, Ashley Cole threw the football to Lampard, Lampard knocked it back, and Ashley Cole directly kicked a 45-degree diagonal cross into the penalty area.
The ball flew into the Spanish penalty area and Peter and Pique leaped high at the same time, one for a header and the other for a header.
"Ahh ……”
After a scream, the ball flew towards the goal, and Casillas jumped lightly to hold the ball firmly in his arms, and he saw Peter and Pique both fall on the turf and roll in pain, kicking the ball off the sideline with a big kick. (To be continued.) )
