Looking at Gerrard, who was so close and had fighting spirit on his face, but who was already quite exhausted from playing a whole game! In an instant, Li Yi understood the current situation of the England players!
In other words, it's not that they are not strong enough and don't want to compete for victory in this game. The fact is that their physical condition is no longer enough to support them to move forward! Li Yi misunderstood his teammates before!
But something seems wrong! As a group of professional players, even if they are a little older, England shouldn't run out of energy so quickly, right?
No, no! In fact, England's current physical deficit is both unexpected and reasonable!
As we all know, when facing a team like Spain that pursues possession of the ball throughout the game, England itself needs to exert several percent more energy than when playing against other opponents!
Of course, this is not the point. The most fundamental reason for the current malaise in England lies in one word, and that is - momentum!
Previously, England led the score 2-0, and the morale of the whole team was high. If the score was still this way, even with willpower, all the England players on the field would be exhausted after the game, and they would not be as miserable on the field as they are now.
!
But the key to the problem is that the score at this time is no longer the 2-0 before! It is now a somewhat sad 2-2! [
From 2-0 to 2-2, the gap is not enough to be compared with outsiders. More importantly, after Spain equalized the score, except for Li Yi and Beckham, other English players on the field have been holding back that feeling in their hearts.
A ball of fire, that breath of air, drained out!
Then, without the support of fighting spirit, it is not difficult to understand that the senses of the English players returned to their own bodies and they felt their physical fatigue!
Thinking of this, after knowing the current status of his England teammates, Li Yi understood, but he also felt a little bit frustrated about this game!
After all, the football game is an overall sport. Li Yi is just one person. Maybe in some games, Li Yi's team can rely on Li Yi's goals to defeat their opponents. However, this does not mean that Li Yi can
He can beat a team by himself! In fact, if you think about it, if there is no defense and the opponent scores one goal at a time, even if Li Yi is really superhuman, there is no way to change the game!
Of course, he is cold-hearted. As long as he is playing, Li Yi will not give up. Especially, in today's game, England has lost 17 or 8 goals. He has lost all his pants and cannot recover at all.
Now! The score is only 2-2 at this moment. Although for England, which once led 2-0, the current score is not too ideal, but to be honest, this score before the start of the game is definitely a score they can
Score accepted!
So, after figuring out this key, since his teammates want to delay time, what reason does Li Yi have for not cooperating with his teammates and using up the remaining game time?
I saw Gerrard taking a deep breath after receiving the ball thrown by the ball boy on the court, then taking a deep breath, and then taking a deep breath again. Then, the referee couldn't help but blow the whistle again to signal Gerrard.
After taking the penalty quickly, Gerrard then threw the ball to England. Apart from him, England was the only one in the Spanish half, but it was thrown by Li Yi, who was surrounded by Spanish defenders!
"..." Strictly speaking, Gerrard's pass made Li Yi very confused. Look at the current surrounding Li Yi, all around him are Spanish defenders. Under such circumstances, throw the ball to Li Yi
Yi, that is not giving Li Yi a chance, but giving Li Yi a chance to hit the wall!
Fortunately, Li Yi also discovered beforehand that the England players really couldn't run at this time. He and Gerrard were the only two people in the Spanish half. Otherwise, Li Yi would definitely be angry with Gerrard's choice.
The curse!
Well, even though he was very unhappy in his heart and knew that his life would be in danger if he persisted in getting the ball when the opponent players were so defensive, but in the end Li Yi didn't even hesitate and still threw the ball from the sideline when Gerrard
After coming out, quickly chase the ball towards the first landing point!
Unfortunately, as we have mentioned more than once, Li Yi is actually not very good in terms of absolute speed. In addition, in the crowd surrounding Li Yi before, Spain arranged for someone with the physical speed of Ramos.
They are both super defenders, so Gerrard's sideline ball was actually doomed for them when it was thrown!
After the two sides exchanged offense and defense instantly, the field turned into a Spanish attack again!
However, I don’t know whether it was because I was dazzled and thought I saw a loophole, or because I saw that there was not much time in the game, and my heart burst out with anxiety, or because I saw that the long pass before Xiaofa had a miraculous effect. In short, after intercepting Gerrard’s throw
After the sideline ball, Ramos did not go to Spain's enemy midfielder at all, but directly kicked the ball towards Torres, Spain's only high point in the front court!
After that, there is actually no more!
Earlier, Francesco's long pass was successful, but it was just the negligence of England's defense, plus Francesco's long pass was fast and accurate enough
