211th dark horse Turkey
Loew's face was restless, at this time in the game, the team had nothing to change in terms of tactics, and the three substitutions had been used up, and now, all Loew could do was sit on the seats in the stands box and watch his players work hard.
He could see that Lehmann was roaring angrily, Metzelder was frowning, Podolski was still running tirelessly, and Klose was shaking his head helplessly......
In the 118th minute, it was supposed to be Germany's possession opportunity, Friedrich passed, Rolfes headed the ball to Podolski, Podolski knocked his heel, and wanted to make a match with Klose, but he didn't expect Klose to run forward at all, and the football went out of the sideline, which was Portugal's sideline ball.
Podolsky, who was not very good-tempered, yelled at Klose, who also replied unhappily, and then; The two realized that now was not the time to quarrel, and after glaring at each other, they dispersed.
Cristiano Ronaldo was not in a hurry to throw the touchline ball, he watched with interest as the Germans went through the infighting, and when referee Rossetti warned him not to delay, Ronaldo shrugged his shoulders and threw the ball with an innocent expression.
Cristiano Ronaldo throws the sideline ball, Meireles returns the ball to Ronaldo, Ronaldo pulls the ball horizontally, and then passes the ball out.
Postiga, who came up with the assist, grabbed in front of Borowski and swung the ball towards Jonker.
The ball fell in front of Jonker, and Fritz's tackle arrived, and Jonk took the lead and hooked the ball forward with his right foot. Jumped up and dodged Fritz's tackle. Accelerate towards the soccer ball.
He rushed through the first line of German defense, though. Rolfes was still following him, Rolfes stretched out his foot and stabbed the ball, but could not break the ball, but slowed down Jonker's advance, at this time, Friedrich also came up, he planned to join forces with Rolfes to break the ball, at this time it was already the 119th minute of the game, if the break was successful. Germany has one more chance to fight back, and this is Germany's last chance!
Seeing that Jonk has no chance except to be cut off!
In the midst of numerous exclamations, Jonker deftly knocked the football with his heel, and the ball rolled out of the gap between Rolfes and Friedrich against the turf, and at the same time, Jonker suddenly pushed the two of them away, and one jumped out.
The ball was passed to Cristiano Ronaldo, who came up to pick it up, and Jonker believes the captain knows what to do.
Really. Jonk had just accelerated to prominence, Ronaldo shook his ankle, and the football flew up.
Viewed from the stands at St. Jakob's Park, two magnificent lights appeared on the pitch. The red light was on the ground, and it was Jonker running wild, above his head. It was a white light, and it was a football flying in the sky.
In the restricted area. Metzelder yells at Medsak, telling him to defend Nani. He rushed up on his own!!
The soccer ball began to fall.
Metzelder came up, and Jonker and Metzelder came face to face, and the dirt and sweat on each other's faces could be seen.
At this point, Jonker was almost unable to run, he gritted his teeth, his shoulders sank, and he rushed forward, using his body to resist Metzelde and prevent Metzelder from getting the ball first.
Immediately after, Jonker's right foot was slightly raised, and the ball fell at the right time, and without waiting for the ball to land, the instep of his right foot was picked up. The whole movement is so beautiful, so stretched, like a work of art!
Everyone was stunned, both Portuguese and German, as they watched the ball arc in a huge arc, rising from Jonker's feet, flying over Metzelde's head, and then slowly falling.
At the same time, Jonker's nimble body had already made a 180-degree turn as he picked the ball, flashed behind Metzeld, and headed straight for the fast-falling football.
Lehmann attacked, at this time, the patron saint of Germany did not hesitate, he fiercely pounced at the feet of Jonker, this is Lehmann's momentum, many shooters, frightened by his momentum, the football that could have been shot in, also missed.
He hoped that this time, it would also work on Jonker!
However, he failed!
"Let's go inside!! Fuck !! There was fire burning in Jonker's chest, and he roared, and with a flick of his toes, he chose to shoot.
This made Lyman not expect that at such a close distance, he thought that Jonk would choose a more secure volley, after all, the lob is not so easy to master.
For this sling, even this German man called Lyman can't do anything about it!!
The soccer ball flew past his cheek and began to fall, and fall, like a meteorite into the sky...... The ball rolled into the goal after a V-shaped bounce in front of the goal, and there was no suspense!!
“Gooal!! Gooal!! Gooal!! Gooal!! Gooal!! Gooal!! Gooal!! Gooal!! Goooooooooooooooooooal――!!! Lineker jumped up from his seat, he stepped on the deck with one foot, raised his hands and pointed to the sky, kept shouting 'Goal' in his mouth, raised his arms and shouted, he changed his breath, roared lifelessly, in fact, it was more like an old man choking and whimpering, "Ii's-goal!!" 3:1!! We...... Win!! Euro Cup semi-finals! Here we go! 4 years of waiting! 4 years! 4 years ......"
Throughout the St. Jacob's Park, the Portuguese fans in the stands raised their arms like a forest, shouting, 'Goooaaal!! ’
After Jonker finished shooting, he staggered back, and as he ran, he looked at the goal, and he saw the football falling, and finally, like a star, smashed into the net, and he began to run on the field, running wildly, at this time, it was full of strength...... Before he could run a few steps, he was pounced on by Ronaldo and then Nani...... Subsequently, more and more teammates pressed over.
The whole stadium is completely boiling!
The earth is trembling!!
At this moment, even the cameras on the sidelines of the stadium are shaking......
The St Jakob's Park Stadium has a capacity of 40,000 spectators, nearly half of whom are Portuguese fans. In addition to a few neutral fans, there are about 15,000 German fans left!
But. When Jonker scored the goal to make it 3:1. The German fans fell silent, and the entire stadium was heard only to the frantic cheers and celebrations of the Portuguese fans.
"This is a glorious moment for Portuguese football! We are now 3-1 ahead of three-time world champions Germany and now have one minute to go! In other words, it is only 60 seconds before the Portuguese team reaches the semi-finals of the European Championship again after 4 years!! Lineker's voice was a little hoarse, which was the after-effect of the over-agitated roar he had just had, but the former Portugal international was now so excited that he couldn't care about his own voice at all, and he excitedly used his hoarse voice to roar into the microphone and the sound was transmitted all over Portugal by satellite.
Now. Seeing the goal scored, people in the Portuguese team's coach's box and on the bench also jumped up, rushed to the sidelines and waved their fists to release their emotions to the fullest.
With 1 minute left at the end of the game, Portugal has a two-goal lead, and even God will not be able to snatch the victory and the ticket to the semi-finals from Portugal! For Portugal, it was almost certain to qualify for the semi-finals.
Actually, at the moment in Portugal. It's already a boiling ocean, and in every bar, it's become the liveliest place in the whole city.
Cheers, friend!
Hug, dear!!
The 60-second time passed quickly. In fact, after Jonker's goal, the Germans already knew the outcome of the game. They have accepted the fate of being eliminated, and the remaining minute of time. It doesn't really make much sense anymore!
Podolski received a pass from Borowski in front of the court and was about to rush forward with the ball. If there is anyone who is the most unwilling in the entire German team now, it is undoubtedly Podolski, even if there is only one minute left, even if he knows that a miracle is impossible, however, Podolski is still running hard, he is not reconciled......
Unfortunately, three whistles sounded, and referee Rossetti blew the whistle for the end of the game.
When the whistle was heard, Podolsky was still dribbling the ball, and it was Fritz who hugged Podolski and yelled at Podolski, "Stop, the game is over!" It's over! ”
Podolsky's eyes widened and he glared at Fritz, and then he yelled, and the whole person was paralyzed, sat on the ground, lifted his jersey and covered his head...... He didn't want people to see him crying.
The other German players were on their knees, sitting on the ground, hanging their heads with their hands on their hips, and looking at the night sky......
The pain of failure and elimination is what they have to endure now.
While the German players tasted defeat after referee Rossetti blew the full-time whistle, the Portuguese substitutes rushed onto the pitch and hugged their team-mates to celebrate the historic moment.
"It's over! 3:1! After 120 minutes of tough matching, Portugal won against Germany! moment 4 years later. Once again, we have reached the semi-finals of the continental competition! Champion, here we come! Lineker shouted, but his voice was drowned out by the louder cheers.
Jonk hugged Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco, and Quaresma, who has not yet had any chance to play in the European Championship......
Everyone is hugging each other and hugging everyone around them!
In this game, it was too difficult for Portugal to win, 120 minutes of the game, the players on the field almost lost their strength, and the players off the field were also very nervous, and their backs were full of sweat.
Jonk saw Nani lying in Carvalho's arms crying silently, this guy is really an emotional person...... Four years ago, Nani was crying like this, but it was because of the loss of the championship, and this time, it was a cry of joy, last time Nani was an outsider, and this time he stood in the middle of the ring.
He also saw Ronaldo being interviewed by a group of reporters, and the captain of the Portuguese team talked eloquently, with a great general's demeanor, but from the red corner of Ronaldo's eyes, Ronaldo must have cried just now.
Jonk was still looking around, when Nani suddenly fell to the ground when he ran out of Carvalho's arms at some unknown time. He was about to resist, but saw Carvalho pressing on him as well. Then Pepe, then Bosingwa......
Jonk struggled twice. If you don't move, since you can't resist, just enjoy it...... Phew~
Then, Joanker, whose hair was messed up like a chicken's nest, joined the whole team in a line to applaud the Portuguese fans in the stands.
Jonk and Scolari had a big hug, and then he was surrounded by a group of reporters, who managed to get rid of them, and Jonk picked up a bottle of water. Unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and had just taken a sip, someone tapped him on the shoulder, and he looked back and saw that it was Podolsky.
Jonker was a little ashamed in his heart, he had just patronized himself to celebrate, and he actually forgot to comfort Podolsky, an old friend, but Jonk estimated that he went to comfort Podolsky. This guy won't have a good face either.
Sure enough, Podolski looked dead and pointed to the jersey on Jonker's body: "Swap?" ”
Jonk didn't say a word, took off his jersey and handed it over. He knew that Podolsky was in pain right now. Extremely unhappy, Jonk also saved himself from the thought of making fun of Podolsky.
Podolski took Jonker's jersey and put it on his shoulder, handing it his jersey to Jork as well. "Good luck to you guys, make it to the finals. I'll go live to see the finals. ”
"Cheer me on?" Jonker smiled, perhaps not knowing how inflated his smile seemed to Podolsky.
"Watch you lose." Really. Podolsky said.
Jonk rolled his eyes, this guy was still angry and duplicitous.
Podolski patted Jonker on the shoulder, turned his head and walked away, his back floating with a sentence, "Okay, knock out our team, I hope it's the championship." If it's the runner-up, we can't afford to lose that person. It's up to you to do it yourself! ”
"But we just got to the semi-finals...... It's not the final yet. Jonk shouted at the back of the shirtless hunk in his jersey.
"We were supposed to reach the finals and win the championship, and if you beat us, can't you win against the other teams?" Podolski waved his hand and disappeared into the entrance to the players' corridor.
"Fart, we won all the opponents in the group stage!" Jonk scolded the player who no longer had Podolski's back, and then he muttered to himself, "This guy just doesn't give others a chance to comfort him......"
No one slept tonight in Portugal, and after four years, they reached the semi-finals of the continental competition again, which stimulated the adrenaline of the Portuguese.
Unable to contain their excitement, the fans poured into the streets after the match, in Porto, in Lisbon, in Cascais, in Portimo, in Albufeira...... All the large squares in every city are occupied by excited fans.
They waved flags, sang songs, hugged and kissed everyone they knew and didn't know, and many single men and women met on this passionate night and then enjoyed the passion all night......
The fans are celebrating, and so is the Portuguese team.
St Jacob's Park is not the Portuguese's own turf after all, and after a brief celebration on the pitch, there were already staff in the dressing room, a row of beers was placed, and everyone rushed into the dressing room.
Everyone raised their huge glasses, no one drank, and the players looked at their manager, and they couldn't forget Scolari's words.
Scolari was not pretentious at all, the old man raised his glass first, "Cheers, for you, for the best players!" For the champions! Cheers!! ”
"For the champion! Cheers!! "Everybody yelled, they weren't really angry with Scolari, the game was over, and the guys knew it was Scolari's agitation, and they just did it to see if the manager would keep his promise, and everybody was satisfied.
The players screamed, everyone raised their glasses, clinked glasses, and the wheat yellow liquid splashed out, flowed out of the mouth, poured into the neck, and gave a big wine burp, so refreshing!
Want another drink? Gone!
The dressing room is not a place for celebration, and after a brief celebration in the dressing room, a group of unfinished groups of guys, waiting for coach Scolari to return from a press conference with captain Cristiano Ronaldo and Jonker, boarded the team's bus and headed for the hotel.
That's where they celebrated their victory.
The next day, the media throughout Portugal were praising Portugal and the head coach of the Portuguese legion, Scolari. Praise for the brace and has already scored eight goals in this European Championship. Praise Nani who came off the bench and praise every Portuguese player. Even Nuno, who didn't get a chance to play. Gomez and Alves were also praised by the media with beautiful praise.
At this moment, if someone were to stand on the streets of Lisbon and chant that Jonker was the savior of Portugal, I am afraid that even if it will not be cheered and responded to by the vast majority of the proud Portuguese, there is absolutely no need to worry about being beaten.
Now, the first team of the semi-finals of Euro 13 has been produced: Portugal!
Portugal is waiting for the last opponent in the top half, the winner between Croatia and Turkey!
Compared to the lower half. It seems that the first half of Portugal has a bit of a standout flavor.
Croatia aside, Turkey was defeated by Portugal in the group stage, and it was a big win.
Regardless of the outcome of both teams, in the eyes of all the media, Portugal has booked a ticket to the final.
The "King of Reversal" Turkey once again took the madness and magic to the extreme in the European Championships. Croatia scored in the 119th minute of extra time, but the Turks equalised in the last second before the end of the game to beat Croatia on penalties.
This miracle is probably a once-in-a-decade phenomenon in the history of football.
Croatia and Turkey, whoever wins this match will make history in their own countries at the European Championships. Glory and pressure go hand in hand, so both players had to be careful in the 90 minutes and the first 29 minutes of extra time. The scene is also slightly dull. A miracle happened when everyone thought the 120-minute game would end 0-0 and go to penalties.
In the 119th minute, Croatia launched the final strong attack, and Srna dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area. After his cross was blocked by Tunchai, the ball was deflected and rolled towards the baseline. In order not to get a corner kick, Turkish goalkeeper Rustu attacked. But he underestimated Modric's speed. Luka Modric grabbed the ball and half-turned and curled a beautiful left-footed pass. Substitute striker Krašnic headed the ball past the Turkish defender and into the empty net.
Croats began to celebrate wildly. Victory seems to have belonged to them. But in the 122nd minute, Turkey launched its final attack. Rustu's long pass was cleared by Simunic's header in the box, but the ball fell to the feet of Sentuck, who fired the ball into the net in a gap to make it 1-1.
Croatia coach Bilic rushed to the fourth official in a frenzy to protest. Bilic's dissatisfaction is twofold: first, before Rustu takes the free kick at the back, the game is dead, the Croatian team is ready to use the last substitution, and the fourth official has already informed the referee Vasalas with the flag, but the Greek golden whistle has not found it; Second, there were more than 2 minutes of stoppage time in extra time.
'The shock, it looks like it's over, but we conceded a goal.' Bilic said disappointedly, "Of course from the moment the Turks equalised, they had a psychological advantage. ”
Bilic was right when he was right, even his rock coach messed up after Turkey's miraculous equaliser – and Bilic kept shaking his head as Turkey boss Trim focused on arranging the list of penalty-takers. His list of penalty players was clearly not well thought out, with the 22-year-old Modric for the first, the 26-year-old Srna for the second, the 20-year-old Rakitic for the third and the 27-year-old Petrici for the fourth, all of whom were mostly young players with less experience. As a result, Luka Modric and Rakitic both missed the ball, and Petrich's limpic shot was saved by Rustu, and Croatia lost 3-1 on penalties.
The magical Turkey finally made it to the last four and will face Portugal in the semi-finals. Trim explained after the game the reason for Turkey's three reversals in this European Championship, "You can never give up until the game is completely over. That's why football is such a fun sport. ”
Reverse Switzerland! Reverse the Czechs! Reverse Croatia!
When the Turkish horsemen were proud of Vienna, some might think that they were favored by the heavens. No, no one will be favored by Heaven again and again, and the victory of the Turks comes from their courage and unyielding heart.
Three reversals, each more thrilling than the last. Ten days ago, the Turks completed their comeback over hosts Switzerland in the 92nd minute; Six days ago, three goals were scored in 16 minutes and the Turks won in the 87th minute; Yesterday, a lethargic game was played in the 119th minute to break the deadlock, but it was the Croatians who scored. Krasnić's header almost made the world decide that the Turkish Iron Rider had come to an end, but the Turk's sword still shone with a lethal light as long as it was not put down. Please note! By the time goalkeeper Rustu kicked the ball in the back of the net, the clock was in the last seconds of stoppage time. It was a real Jedi counterattack, with javelins flying from the rear going straight to the Semih at the forefront, followed by an earth-shattering blow, and for 122 minutes, the Turks left themselves on the battlefield. (To be continued......)
