879 The epic of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
The German team attacked in the last five minutes of the game, and Worrall also hoped that the German team could perform a majestic performance like England's defeat of Brazil, but unfortunately England's defense was very tight, and the German team did not even have an organizational core of its own, and people rushed up, but it was more like a group of rabble.
As soon as the ball crossed the front area, Hargreaves stepped forward to cut it off, and that scene was really sad and mad for the Germans.
On either side of Hargreaves, Klose and Hamann, both of whom thought that the other party would respond, did not move, and both rushed forward, Hargreaves was more like receiving a pass from the German team, and then easily controlled the ball.
A diagonal pass, handing the ball to Xiaobei, who has switched from defending to attacking and running.
Xiaobei looked in front of him, accurately diagonally teleported, on the other side McManaman successfully countered offside, the German team soldiers pressed the emptiness behind the border, and was directly penetrated by a simple long pass counterattack by the England team.
McManaman rushed to the German penalty area with the ball, Kahn did not move, still waiting, he would not rush to attack, that would only give the opponent a chance to hang the goal.
When the time came, Kahn walked out of the goal, but there was no way, the German defenders were not as fast as McManaman could rush forward with the ball.
The England fans all stood up, holding their breath and cheering for the curly dogs.
Shoot this ball in!
McManaman was about to meet Kahn after entering the box when he suddenly made a cross and Kahn stopped and moved across to block the other side, but it was noticeably too late.
Alan Smith, who replaced Owen, was full of energy and started with McManaman's anti-offside. And he ran forward at full speed. The long sprint shook off Metzelde. Rushing to the front line to receive McManaman's cross, he tried to be safe, and he pushed the ball with the arch of his foot, and the goal in front of him was completely open and unblocked, and Kahn's remedies were useless.
At the Yokohama International Stadium, the Germans hung their heads. The English cheered to the heavens!
'Alan Smith sealed the win for England! Hahaha! The Germans wanted to replicate our knockout of Brazil, but we sealed the win! David's long fax is wonderful, Steve's assist can be called selfless, Alan must be ecstatic at this time, he came off the bench and actually scored! England's participation in the World Cup this time has taught the world what unity is and what a real team is! England are back at the top of the world and are on the verge of lifting their second World Cup trophy! ”
Alan Smith roared with emotion, and his fitness allowed him to run uncontrollably, knowing that he was not the most important member of the national team. But as long as he plays, he has to burn his own qiē. Contribute to England!
Worrall waved his hand to the backcourt, signaling the whole team to go back and defend well, there is not much time left in the game, try your luck to punch and hang, and the whole team presses? That's looking for death.
Aldridge called Terry and Carrick to the sidelines at this point and handed in the substitutions.
In the final moments, John Terry replaced McManaman and Michael Carrick replaced Frank Lampard.
England also ran out of substitutions and waited for the game to end.
The German team wanted to play the rush, but there was no chance at all, their back line did not dare to press again, the attacking players were waiting for the opportunity at the front, the midfield was the weak zone, and the England team was killing time in the midfield.
When the full-time whistle ended, all the England fans in the stadium roared with joy, filling the stadium with a lot of noise.
"England, great England regained the World Cup after 36 years! Thank you Owen, thank you Alan Smith, thank you Beckham, thank you McManaman for playing so well throughout this tournament! Thank you Southgate, thank you to everyone in the England team, and most of all to the young coach who made all England proud, Aldrich Hall! We saw a fan in the stands putting up a slogan, oh, it was obviously Millwall fans, because they were using the way the Roar fans organized the classic slogan! Aldrich-Hall Xià! ”
In the north stands, a small group of fans suddenly became the focus of the stands, Saul, Brady, Fred, three Aldridge friends, they hugged each other and jumped in the stands, and beside them, the old fans who had been "fighting side by side" with them for many years turned around, and the large letters behind the jersey formed a sentence, that is: Aldridge-Hall Xià! King Arthur of English football!
This scene was written as an epic of "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" by The Sun the next day when the report of England's championship was released!
King Arthur was naturally Aldridge, and all the players in the England team, including the coaching staff, became the Knights of the Round Table.
And the story is not over, when McManaman is abandoned by England in the future, he is called by The Sun Lancelot, the first warrior of the Knights of the Round Table, breaking with the Knights of the Round Table and regretting it
Both players on the pitch went to the ground after referee Corina's final whistle!
The German players fell to the ground softly, some slammed the turf with their fists, and some sat on the turf with their faces sluggish.
The players in England got down on their knees and roared as much as they could!
Many England fans in the stands burst into tears, 36 years!
England's coach's box, bench, and substitute players also rushed into the field, rushed to their teammates on the field and knelt down, and the coaches also rushed in to celebrate with the players.
Only the expression does not seem to have changed, and the action has not changed, it is Aldrich.
He was still standing in place, as if he could hear the excited cries, shouts, laughter of the fans in the stands, and he could see the excitement of the England players in front of him.
It was a day for the people of England.
However, he is not English at heart.
But after all, he has lived in England for a long time, and his family in this life is also in England, working by himself, making a name for himself, all in England!
He has an awareness of return, but he still has a trace of inconsistency.
Almost as soon as the whistle blew, media reporters from all over the world swarmed around Aldridge on the sidelines. They sat in circles. Half-squatted down in the front row. Standing in the back row, the reporter could only hold his camera high and the camera pointed at Aldrich.
The lights flickered, and nearly 90% of the reporters came to shoot the young marshal for the first time.
26 years old, five Premier League crowns, five European crowns, and seven club crowns in a single season I thought it was already an unprecedented limit, but I didn't expect it. In the east of the world, the young marshal pushed the limit up again, the eighth crown!
World Cup Winner!
At the end of the season, the young marshal's achievements were unprecedented, and now, it is almost conclusive, he wrote a myth of no one after him in the summer of 2002!
All the reporters surrounding Aldrich couldn't help but wonder.
Why is the young marshal still standing there when the rest of the Englishmen are running to celebrate wildly?
It was obviously not a pretentious cool calm expression, but what was it pondering?
And then. All the reporters saw a scene that moved them.
The young marshal turned around and gently reached out to push away the reporters behind him. There weren't many reporters there, after all, not many media were willing to publish photographs of the young marshal's back.
I saw the young marshal walk to the bench, where all the players and coaches ran to celebrate, the injured Owen was only accompanied by a team doctor, and the young man who chased the wind was smiling, but there were two lines of tears on his cheeks.
The young marshal walked over, bowed his head and talked to Owen for a few words, then helped him up, put his arm around Owen's shoulders, and walked towards the court.
At this time, all the reporters, as well as the audience who saw this scene, all thought in their hearts: What is there to hesitate to work for such a coach?
Before the achievements of the past and the present, he didn't even smile, but first cared about the players' injuries, and then, sent the players on the field, so that his disciples and teammates could be together to enjoy this unparalleled glory!
Aldridge walked into the stadium with steady steps and no hurry, followed by a large group of reporters, who wanted to take pictures of the young marshal's passionate celebration and see his ecstatic expression, but they saw the young marshal walk up to a German player, crouch down, and stroke the other man's head like an elder.
Schneider seemed to have lost all his strength, tilted his head and leaned on Aldrich's body, he raised his head and asked blankly: "Boss, if, if England did not have you, would the German team be able to win England today?" ”
Aldrich was silent, Schneider sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Asked a nonsense, without a leader, England will not be so strong, but not so strong, today is Germany facing Brazil"
Schneider relieved the initial loss of soul, the club he played for was the strongest in the world, and he could certainly understand what level the strength of the German team was, but it was impossible not to be disappointed in the final.
Aldridge reached the final without a defeat, Schneider originally had this record, but today, this record ended at Yokohama International Stadium.
"Don't you stand up? The Wild Lions' players should not be in this state in the face of defeat. ”
Aldrich's words caused Schneider to take a deep breath and try to stand up, only to sit down on the ground again, and smile wryly at Aldrich: "I have cramps in my right leg." ”
Aldridge was about to help him stretch his hamstring when Klose, who was not far away, trotted over and grabbed Schneider's right foot, lifted it up and straightened it.
"Boss, you go and celebrate, I'll help him."
Klose lowered his head and didn't look at Aldrich, as if he didn't want Aldrich to see the tears in his eyes.
Aldridge patted Klose on the shoulder, said nothing and turned away.
He actually wanted to say to Klose: You're still young.
But I think it's really hurtful to say this.
Despite the fact that Klose is still young, he can wait for ZTE in Germany ten years later, but Schneider can't.
Aldridge, who was walking around the field, met every English player or coach with a hug, no words of praise, no other excessive gestures, and only when he saw Melanie arrive with his two sons, he smiled gently.
Earl came running in a rage, shouting that Daddy was amazing, Aldrich bent down and hugged him three times, and then let him ride on his neck, and when Bert was led by the hand by his mother, Bert took the initiative to hold Aldrich's hand again.
Melanie smiled and stared at Aldrich with deep meaning, but Aldrich just shook his head with a wry smile.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is a very warm scene for a family of four, in fact, maybe Bert is beginning to be sensible and does not speak, but holds the hands of his parents left and right, probably, he is also a little careful in it.
It's just that he is a small child, and he will never understand the world of adults.
Mo said that Aldrich may not even see Melanie ten times a year, and the two sons can see Melanie twice a month on average, and it would be good for them to get together for two or three days on average, and the two children are there, they can meet at any time, and Aldridge will inevitably go around, and they will gather less and leave more, which is like a family.
The families of the other players also walked into the field, and McManaman was very eye-catching in the English flag, and at this time he seemed to have a little bit of a hot brother's dashing and flamboyant.
Looking at the warm and exciting scenes in the venue, Aldrich raised his head and asked Earl: "Do you still want to be a movie star in the future?" ”
"I don't want to! I'm going to be a star! I'm going to be the captain of England in the future! (To be continued......)
