Chapter 555: Fatal long pass, kills the game
"Goooooooooooooooooal——"
The ball crashed into the snow-white net, and Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's signature elongated voice echoed throughout the live broadcast room at the Benito Villamarín Stadium.
"The ball has gone in! The ball has gone in! Harry Kane received Li Qing's pass and headed it in. England overtook Spain again! The score is now 4:3!"
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei shouted with excitement.
"Harry Kane breaks David De Gea's goalkeeper! 4:3! England takes the lead again!"
German Sky TV commentator Marcel Leif shouted almost crazy.
Spanish National Sports TV commentator Flores exclaimed: "Incredible game! Our national team was leading more than ten minutes ago! This... is simply a terrible moment!"
At this point, he changed the subject: "But I believe that the national team coached by Luis Enrique can turn the tide in the next game and overtake the score again!"
…
Whether it was the live commentary box or the commentator in the remote live broadcast room, they all gave crazy explanations about England's goal that exceeded the score again.
At the same time, Harry Kane, who scored the goal, opened his arms and ran towards Li Qing, who had already spread his arms. The two embraced and celebrated the score again.
Head coach Southgate couldn't restrain his emotions in this situation. He raised his arms and shouted, and then hugged his assistant Holland with a grin on his face, venting the huge pressure caused by the go-ahead score.
"aooaoaoaooaoooooooo——"
Every one of the England players who came with the team to the Benito Villamarín Stadium were ecstatic, frantically venting the rush of adrenaline caused by the goal. At this moment, they were the only ones in the audience making passionate noises. , huge shouts came one after another.
The on-site director showed the entire slow-motion replay of Li Qing's assist on Harry Kane's goal. He used his speed to beat Marcos Alonso at the beginning. Facing the defense, Ramos faked a shot and made a realistic dunk, which led to the pull. Moss threw his whole body, and the next cross was somewhat contemptuous, but... Li Qing fans and England fans in front of the TV liked to see Li Qing's super performance.
Spanish players such as Morata, Asensio, Busquets, Thiago, Ramos, De Gea, etc. who came on the bench all looked hesitant. Originally, there was no suspense in this game, but they scored three goals in a row. The confidence he brought to turn defeat into victory was instantly overwhelming, but unexpectedly... Li Qing shot and passed to overtake the score again.
This feeling is like losing again after regaining something...
Ramos' mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Li Qing, and he couldn't help but think - are you kidding me when you step on the horse?
Judging from the slow-motion replay, Li Qing did trick Ramos, otherwise he would not have crossed the ball in a trick way.
Marcos Alonso, who slipped at a critical moment, felt a little embarrassed to face the fans in attendance. From the Premier League level to the national team level, he has not gained even one advantage over Li Qing...
Spanish head coach Enrique was suffering the most, but his ability to make psychological adjustments was quite quick, and he made decisive adjustments as he still had a substitution to make.
In the 76th minute, Spain made the last adjustment of the game. Super substitute Paco replaced Saul to increase the number of offensive players in the frontcourt.
However, at this stage of the game, the physical fitness of the players has dropped significantly. Morata and Paco, who need the support of their midfield and backfield teammates, have gradually become isolated and helpless. Even if the football is at their feet, it is difficult to make a difference.
On the contrary, the England players, who were full of momentum, were full of fighting spirit and seemed to have inexhaustible physical energy. Many 50-50 battles were about gaining the upper hand and winning possession of the ball.
Time passed by second by second, and England, who had regained the lead, gradually took the initiative in the game, and the offensive they created became more and more threatening. Enrique, who was standing in the command area of the home team coach, almost rushed out, but his three substitutions All human adjustments have been made, which means whether the score can be equalized can only depend on the performance of the players on the field.
England also made three substitution adjustments, but Southgate believes that his players can expand the score in the remaining game time, because...Li Qing, who is in excellent condition, can drive the entire team to be positive.
Morata, Paco and Asensio saw less and less time, and they played more and more impatiently. Their offense was unstructured and naturally had no way to pose a threat to the English defensive system. The English offense was dominated by Li Qing and Sterling. The successive attacks put increasing pressure on Spanish defensive players.
Although the attack did not ultimately lead to a goal, the psychological pressure it put on the Spanish defensive players was very great. The defensive players were worried about England's rapid attack from defense to offense and would not participate in the attack forward enough, resulting in a disconnect between the front and backcourt. Offensive efficiency is also greatly reduced.
The players on both sides were affected by their physical fitness. The offense seemed to come back and forth, but the actual threat was not great. The game time passed by second by second, and soon it came to the 90th minute of the regular game. The fourth official just held up the injury timeout. The electronic card came to the sidelines in five minutes of stoppage time, which meant that there were only five minutes left in the game.
The broadcast showed England head coach Southgate yelling at the fourth official, obviously dissatisfied with the injury time.
In his opinion, stoppage time is at most three minutes.
But at this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded from above the stadium: "wowoowowoooooo——"
Southgate, who was still complaining just now, turned his head to look out of instinct, and the on-site director immediately returned the camera, and saw Li Qing running at high speed along the right side chasing the football.
Behind him and in front of him, there were many Spanish defensive players, but... Li Qing did not choose to ride a thousand miles alone, but instead passed the football about fifteen meters away from the center line on the right side of the defense while running. Attack the left wing.
The football pierced the sky, and the broadcast screen showed a long shot. Sterling, who came on as a substitute in the second half, chased Li Qing's pass unmarked.
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "This ball was passed beautifully!"
"It's almost over..."
Spanish coach Enrique concluded the game.
Although Sterling's personal ability and scoring ability cannot be compared with Li Qing's, his speed is currently second only to Li Qing's player on the court. Coupled with the fact that he is unmarked, it is tantamount to showing his speed advantage to the extreme. .
Goalkeeper De Gea abandoned the goal and struck out. What he didn't expect was that the football would slow down significantly after it landed. This was great news for Sterling, who was running faster and faster. De Gea, who had no speed advantage, suddenly There is an idea of retreating, but the biggest fear of abandoning the door and attacking is lack of determination.
"wuuwuwuwuuuuuuuu——"
The overwhelming boos failed to stop Sterling. He passed De Gea at high speed, and what happened next was naturally not going to be a series of shots that even an old lady could score. To be on the safe side, he brought the football with him. Only after reaching the penalty area did he complete a push shot.
The football hit the snow-white net. Southgate, who had been complaining to the fourth official just now, suddenly celebrated with a sliding kneel. After five minutes of stoppage time, we secured the victory!
