Chapter 247

Although it was the old Lei who took the penalty, he did not take the penalty himself. The penalty was given to Portugal's captain Figo. And the captain of the Portuguese did not disappoint them either. After fooling James, he hit the bottom left corner of the goal to help the team overtake the score. With the soccer ball in the net, the Stadium of Light went crazy! Lisbon is crazy!! The whole of Portugal went crazy!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Louis! Louis Figo!! Completely deceived James, 3:2! Leading the way is us! It's us!! Overtime?! Penalty shoot-out?!! Go to Tamar's !! We're going to be in the top 4 right away! Any more minute, we can't wait!! Hahahaha! The Portuguese commentator burst into foul language with excitement. No one will blame him, sometimes the words are too civilized, and they really can't make people vent their passions.

It was the 89th minute of the second half, and it was an unquestionable stunner. England fans were silent, they couldn't believe what was in front of them. In the stands, there were lovely England fans, who also left sad tears, which made people feel distressed. However, this qiē has become an established fact and cannot be changed. The cheers of the Portuguese fans silenced them.

Theoretically, with stoppage time, they still have about three minutes left. Although there is an example of the black three minutes created by Manchester United, there is still a glimmer of hope for England fans, although it is almost negligible. At the same time, even England has the confidence to create a miracle. Portugal won't give them a chance either. At this point, Scolari made a substitution. to consume time. Replacing Figo, who had just scored a penalty, with Maniche wasting time. Strengthening the defense also allowed Figo to receive the cheers of the Portuguese fans alone.

Figo, who is an experienced veteran, naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity to waste time. He greeted his teammates as he walked off the field. When passing by Lao Lei, Lao Lei directly gave Figo a big hug, ignoring the shrill boos of the English fans. If the referee hadn't come to urge him personally, it is estimated that Figo would not have reached the sideline so quickly. In any case, this substitution helped Portugal consume more than 20 seconds.

After the restart. Portugal undoubtedly retreated across the board, and even Gomez did not stay in the front of the field, completely returning to the front of the Portuguese penalty area to help the team defend. Soon after, the game went into stoppage time, with the referee giving three minutes of stoppage time. At this time, England attacked defensively at all. Time, however, has become their worst enemy. A few long-range shots that were a little anxious did not lead to a miracle. An unstoppable wave of the world appears to threaten the gates guarded by Ricardo.

And the Portuguese players also used every possible measure to delay and consume the time of the game. For example, after Ricardo hugged England's high ball and crossed. It was "hesitating" for a long time before sending the football out, as if he was preparing to take a direct free kick to the goal. And Lao Lei shamelessly played with Deco. A continuous pass with a distance of 1 meter, and there is no way to push forward. It wasn't until England's players pounced that they handed over the football. In such a situation. England didn't do much in the three minutes of stoppage time. Except for a few fouls, because of too much eagerness and too big a ball break, resulting in fouls. It didn't help them in any way, because it gave the Portuguese players more reasons to come and fall to the ground.

3 minutes, in such a situation, consumes quickly. In the end, after Lao Lei kicked the football high into the air with a big kick, the football was spent in the air in the last seconds of stoppage time. A long whistle of "beep" made the Portuguese players run into the stadium and celebrate with their teammates.

"The game was over, and Meyer blew the whistle for the end. Final Four! Final Four!! Here we go! Portugal is coming!! We got our first ticket to the Final Four. Thank you Figo, thank you Reima, thank you Gomez, thank you Scolari, thank you to all the Portuguese players, all the staff! You have made Lisbon a city that never sleeps tonight!! ”

The Portuguese fans cheered, while the England fans could only leave the stadium lonely and leave again with regrets. Looking at the England players who were unable to fall to the ground, Lao Lei was glad in his heart that he was a winner again and did not become a loser. At the end of the game, Lao Lei finally showed the sublime prime of second in the game and first in friendship. While celebrating with his team-mates and staff, he was also comforting the England players. Taking advantage of his free time, he also exchanged jerseys with Steven Gerrard. For this tough guy who dares to block his shot with his chest, Lao Lei also has some admiration.

After a while, the England players were quickly off the pitch. For their part, they don't want to watch the victors revel in front of them. Soon there was only the red color of Portugal left in the huge Stadium of Light. According to the usual practice, Lao Lei also threw his sneakers and other things into the stands, which can be regarded as souvenirs for the fans. This is a routine that Lao Lei will only do when he wins.

Barefoot, he was soon surrounded by reporters. It was the flashing magnesium lights, the dense microphones, and the problem of not being able to hear clearly, and only at this time would Lao Lei show a sincere smile to the reporters, because this is part of the winner's reward. When Lao Lei and his teammates held hands and bowed to thank the Portuguese fans at the scene, the bright lights of the Stadium of Light hit this group of sweaty people. Their beads of sweat shone with a fascinating white brilliance, the brilliance of the victors.

At the press conference, Scolari brought Figo, who scored the winning penalty. Originally, he wanted to bring Lao Lei, but Lao Lei refused. Knowing the urine nature of the English reporter, he knew that as long as he went, he would definitely not be able to escape some interrogation. Lao Lei, who had just played a game, was a little tired, and he didn't have the interest to deal with annoying reporters again.

And that's exactly what happened, and at the press conference, England bombarded Scolari with a fierce bombardment of questions about Rooney's first yellow card. It turned out that Rooney said to the English reporter after the game: "Damn, I didn't touch him at all." He's a liar. The little fat man, blushing, looked like he was still angry.

For such a question, old rivers and lakes like Scolari and Figo naturally flickered in the past, saying that they believed in the referee's decision. But the English journalist did not give up and pursued the issue endlessly. For them, that's sales. England's loss doesn't help them increase their sales, but conspiracy theories can. In such an atmosphere, Scolari and Figo were not interested in saying more, and the press conference ended hastily.

On the second day, the headlines in the major newspapers were the news that Portugal had eliminated England and advanced to the semi-finals. With the exception of a few English newspapers, the rest of the newspapers have praised Portugal as the favourites to win the tournament. After being held to two stubborn equalisers by England, they were able to go beyond for the third time to win this rally-like race, which is a sign of champions.

Among them, Lao Lei undoubtedly became the official Most Valuable Player after the game. Given his continued high level of performance in the Champions League, the European Cup, and two high-profile competitions, his global popularity is like a rocket every day, jumping up like crazy. The title of the first person of the younger generation was recognized at this time, and it was completely covered on his head.

Because at this time, it was still the time of the European Cup, and Lao Lei's free space and time were limited, and he had not yet felt it obviously. However, in view of Mendes's news, Lao Lei can also slightly estimate how popular he is. Now Mendes can't help but run all over the world, negotiating with the transfer directors of various giant clubs. Or dealing with a lot of advertisers' requests for cooperation, according to Mendes, now he can't sleep every day if he doesn't hear the voices of some merchants arguing about Lao Lei's endorsement contract. Among them, Nike and Adidas are the most noisy.

Considering that this year, the endorsement contract signed by Lao Lei and Nike is about to expire. Two of the world's most famous sporting goods companies are fighting to the death for Lao Lei's next contract. This situation just gave Mendes the capital to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and the price was sky-high. For these two big financiers, Mendes said that he would not eat more fatty meat at this time, and when would he eat it.

In the early morning of the next day, when Lao Lei hugged the quilt and slept soundly to relieve the fatigue caused by the game, in London, Madrid, and Milan, a large number of famous people in football got on the flight to Porto.

In Milan, "I don't care, how much he's worth. As long as you can use money and solve problems, it is not a problem. Remember, I just want results. I'm going to take him to Meacha. "This is Moratti.

In Madrid, "as long as it doesn't exceed 70 million euros, you don't need to come to me." "This is Florentino.

In London, "give me money and smash him over." than richer? Hmph, who's afraid of whom. "This is Abu.

If before, these clubs could still hold back and slowly try.

Then with Portugal knocking out England, they can't sit still anymore. Because they know that if they don't make a move, this "diamond" will have nothing to do with themselves.

Lao Lei, who was asleep, didn't know that a group of predators opened their mouths of blood to open their mouths. (To be continued......)
