Rooney wants to be a hero.

There is no player who does not want to be a hero in the game.

All 11 people have a chance, plus the substitutions, 14 possibilities.

But heroes are often born randomly, rather than deliberately played, and one of the charms of football as a team sport is this, some people will be expected to become heroes, and as a result, they will become sinners, and some people will be considered sinners but can complete self-redemption or even become heroes.

Young players lack experience, and the more they focus on expressing themselves, the less likely they are to become heroes and go to the other extreme: sinners!

If Alan Smith had played in the first half, Aldridge would have accepted the result very calmly, but not Smith, it was Wayne Rooney, who was more than capable of doing better, he could have done better, but he didn't.

At the start of the second half, Rooney's appearance improved slightly, and he sent a clever pass to Gerrard, who was disturbed by Andrade in the box and deflected the ball, and Aldridge gave Rooney a round of applause.

However, 10 minutes later, Rooney missed another golden opportunity, Becky crossed from the wing, and Rooney, who cleverly ran to the back post to grab the point, was almost close to wasting the opportunity and headed wide.

There was an uproar at the scene, England fans lamented that they had squandered the opportunity, and Portuguese fans were glad that they did not die.

"England's counterattack is very threatening, Portugal's attack is getting more and more impatient, and after being cut off by England's midfielder, he quickly instigated a wave of threatening attacks, but unfortunately Rooney failed to send the ball into the goal, the 18-year-old talented teenager looked a little nervous today, and his performance has dropped significantly."

Scolari had already asked Portugal to focus more defensively at half-time. But after attacking in midfield. The team still lacked the containment of England's quick counter-attack.

Avoid the opponent from hitting the ball behind him. If the back line is premised, it is necessary to be wary of direct passes behind them, especially if the midfield line is retreated, the Portuguese attacking players in the front field will obviously lack the support behind them under the close marking of the England team.

Aldridge can see that Rooney has lost the power of the surprise soldier.

The reason is also very simple. After the victory over the Czech Republic, Rooney's exposure was too high, England did not have many good strikers, and no matter how negligent Portugal was, it would not turn a blind eye to Rooney.

When it comes to the finals, the targeted research on the opponent will definitely be more rigorous.

Every opponent on the field should not be underestimated.

In other words, in this final, England can tactically knock out their opponents. But it is impossible to knock out the opponent technically!

And vice versa, Portugal want to beat England with the individual performances of their players. It's also unlikely, after all, every player's threat value will be vigilant in the eyes of England.

Rooney, on the other hand, was nervous or impatient in the final for a variety of reasons, which has affected his technical ability itself.

After missing that header, he kicked directly on the post to vent his inner depression.

Aldridge opted for a substitution, and England made a sideline substitution in the 61st minute when Portugal took a corner.

Rooney looked incredulously at the substitution number played by the fourth official on the sidelines.

His teammate, Irving, stood on the sidelines waiting for his end.

Rooney's expression suppressed dissatisfaction and anger, and in this final, he started, but he did not score.

With just one goal, he'll be the top scorer in the European Championship!

Golden Boot, fly!

Rooney walked off the pitch with his head down, not making a substitution with Owen, and as he walked to the bench, Aldridge reached out to pat Rooney on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

However, a scene that shocked Aldrich appeared.

Rooney raised his hand and opened Aldrich's arm!

Aldrich's pupils shrank, and his expression changed suddenly, as cold as ice.

Maybe fans all over the world saw this scene through the live broadcast, and even if they didn't have it at the time, it will be interspersed with replays by the live broadcaster in the later games.

Aldridge turned to look at Rooney, who was still bowing his head, and scolded coldly, "What the hell is wrong with you?" What do you have to be dissatisfied with? The team is in the final, and they are attacking England for the first European Cup in their history, do you know what you are doing? ”

Rooney turned his head, he regretted it after doing that action just now, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but in the face of Aldrich's cold and knife-like eyes, he still couldn't hold back, shook his head and said with an expression of grievance: "If you don't trust me, don't bring me to the European Cup!" ”

Aldrich restrained his anger.

Mistrust?

Yes, he wouldn't have brought Rooney to the Euros, if he didn't trust him.

If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't have spoken to Rooney many times and made it clear why he was on the bench.

If you don't trust it, you won't replace Rooney when someone needs to step up against the Czech Republic.

If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't have started him in the final!

It's not that I don't trust you!

It was you who disappointed Lao Tzu again and again!

Just this 60 minutes of bad performance, directly squandered two golden opportunities.

Even world-class superstars don't dare to complain about Aldridge when they are substituted!

The state is not good, but it is still reasonable?

Aldridge walked up to Jensen, no longer looked at Rooney, and whispered to Jensen: "Take him back to the dressing room, I don't want to see him again before the game, let him calm himself." ”

As soon as Aldridge finished speaking, Rooney stood up from the bench and walked straight into the players' tunnel.

When he was aggrieved and dissatisfied, I don't know how many pairs of eyes on the England bench looked at Rooney full of complexity.

Wayne Rooney, you're only 18 years old.

England's international who played as a substitute can understand Rooney, but he doesn't sympathize with him.

It is understood that Rooney has the hope of hitting the individual glory and has also become the new golden boy to replace Owen, who became famous at the age of 18, and Rooney is 18 years old and has already made a name for himself in the European Championship.

It's just that his ambitions are so big that he seems to be above the team.

Perhaps, he will become a big-name superstar in the future, but he is not yet, so he has no capital to complain and does not deserve sympathy.

Portugal came close to scoring from a corner.

Cristiano Ronaldo ran aggressively in the box to shake off his markers, and then headed the ball from a tight angle to hit the bottom line.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who knelt on the ground with a shocked face, felt very sorry that he would almost become a hero for Portugal.

Scolari also hid his face with his hands on the sidelines to show a very disappointed look, if this goal can be scored, Portugal will immediately change the style of play, no longer attack, and defend the counterattack.

Aldridge's heart is swaying, and his emotions are very complicated, but he tries to keep all his mind on the court and focus on the game.

Irving's fitness may not be able to last the whole game, but at the moment, he is still alive and energetic.

And the tactical effect brought by Owen is also very obvious.

His pace brought pressure from the deep attacking line, and Portugal's back line had to drop back, but Owen was shrewd in the run to bring depth forward and then turn back, catch the ball in the space that was created, and play with his teammates to keep the attack steady at the front.

Portugal strengthened their defense in the second half, the back line was tighter, and the speed in the middle alone was not enough.

Aldridge gestured to Scholes on the sidelines, allowing him to press forward and put more pressure on the ball at the back of the opposition's waistline, and constantly moving the ball to tear apart the opponent's back line and force the opposition to open the air.

In the 73rd minute, Figo's wide cross was cleared by Campbell's header and Gary Neville took control of the edge of the area and laid the ball diagonally to Frank Lampard, who then fed Scholes.

Scholes ran past Deco and slotted the ball forward.

At this time, Becky and Lampard pressed together, plus Gerrard and Owen in front, England 5vs6.

Dribbling up front of the waist line and passing the ball to Frank Lampard, who split the ball wide from mid-to-long distance, Beckham dribbled down the right and didn't cut inside, which only made the opposition shrink the defence in the box even more.

Becky lured Valente out to defend and passed the ball to Gerrard, who ran over to meet the defender.

Gerrard still kicked the ball out and passed it back to Scholes, who was not cutting forward on the perimeter, and before Maniche and Costinha could turn around, Ginger Head also quickly kicked the ball to Owen, who was pressed to the left of the back line.

Behind Owen was Carvalho, who handled the ball without going to turn around and gently slammed the ball into the middle!

The Portuguese defender line was shocked, Carvalho was attracted to Owen, Andrade's main focus was on Gerrard, when Lampard rushed forward to the middle, Maniche and Costinha were aware, but the attention was on Scholes, Lampard cut inside from the outside, plus Gerrard, Scholes, Owen three consecutive kicks, this combination was completed too fast, so fast that they turned in a circle in place to react, want to prevent Lampard, difficult!

Frank Lampard was like a sharp knife into the Portugal penalty area, the speed did not slow down and went straight into the penalty area, this ball he touched the ball very well, if the trip is big, the golden opportunity will not be there!

After forming a one-on-one trend, Lampard faced Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo, the angle of the shot was similar to a penalty, Lampard pumped the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, even though Ricardo predicted correctly, but because the angle was too close to save, watching the ball fly into the goal!

At the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, the dawn of Portugal's championship suddenly dimmed!

The crowd was boiling, with many England fans taking off their clothes in the stands, and female fans also showing their sexy lingerie to cheer for Frank Lampard.

Frank Lampard roared to the sidelines before being crushed to the corner flag by the England squad and many of the players on the bench rushed to the side, with Aldridge joining the spree, waving his arms and beaming towards the side as if he had lost his mind. (To be continued......)
