The first half of the peak match between England and Brazil was generally evenly matched. England purposefully created pressure on the opponent's defense and took advantage of the opponent's mistakes to score the first victory. ()
In the second half, England didn't have the character of a lion. It was more like a poor kitten that could only protect its head and endure the violent beatings of its opponents. At most, it could only stretch out its claws frantically to scratch its opponents, and it had to pay the price for itself. Those 9 pictures
The yellow card is shocking. Even so, it still cannot stop the opponent's strong attack. In the end, the good situation is lost and the situation takes a turn for the worse!
When everyone around the world believed that England's life was hanging by a thread, and that at best they could only resign themselves to standing on the roulette wheel of the penalty shootout, the scarred wildcat in the second half suddenly transformed into an unprecedented beast and behemoth.
The suffocation and oppression caused by it are only for a moment, but they are unforgettable!
When McManaman scored his first goal of this World Cup, many spectators, whether in the stands or in front of the TV, were speechless and shocked beyond measure!
The England team played a magnificent attack with great momentum. Although it only lasted about 10 seconds, it changed the fate of England and the fate of Brazil. The poodle waded through Luci's sliding tackle.
Oh, a blast aimed at the far corner of the goal brought an end to this peak contest, leaving many people unsatisfied.
I haven't seen the Brazilian team exert its strength in overtime, and I want to see if the England team can continue to perform the domineering offensive momentum that swallowed up mountains and rivers. Everything ended under the rules of the golden ball system and will not continue.
Only countless people are left
Thoughts, sighs or regrets, history was born at this moment: on the evening of June 26, 2002, England eliminated Brazil in overtime with McManaman's golden goal and advanced to the finals, meeting its old enemy Germany in Yokohama.
!
Saitama World Cup Stadium.
After McManaman scored, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
The atmosphere in the stands of the entire stadium was divided into two, half sea water and half flames.
Brazilian fans were dejected and burst into tears.
England fans roared, caroused, waved their arms, young couples hugged and kissed passionately...
In the England live commentary room, Martin Taylor kept shouting for England, and Andy Gray jumped up from his seat, ran around the small commentary room, and even pulled his female colleagues to do funny dance steps. The gentle and elegant Gray
Inker laughed loudly and with great pride...
In the stadium, the entire England team's substitutes and coaches rushed into the stadium.
If you have never experienced the suffocating terror, you will not be able to understand the excitement at this moment, which is less about defeating your opponent and more about escaping.
The 26-year-old young coach rushed into the field, knelt on his knees, and slid five meters. Then he was surrounded by players and coaches, and they were piled on top of each other.
The Selecao team, which had lost their ticket to the final, had not recovered yet. Except for Lucio and Marcos, who were lying on their backs on the turf, the others stood with their arms akimbo, their faces dull, as if they did not understand what was going on.
What's going on?
What's going on?
In the last wave of England's attack, 9 people passed the half-time. Except for Southgate, the other 8 people surrounded the Brazilian team's penalty area!
Have you ever seen anyone play football like this?
Have you ever seen Counterattack so crazy?
No!
Today, I opened my eyes and lost the most important game!
Scolari hung his head, the game was over and there was nothing to think about anymore.
But he still murmured to himself: "I can't believe it, I can't figure it out!"
For this game, he spent a lot of painstaking research on England. He stayed up all night studying England's previous five games, trying to understand the essence of England's counterattack in every game.
In this game, the Brazilian team has actually done very well. The magical counterattack that the English team had been so successful before did not even achieve 50% of the effect.
But maybe it was just for deliberate restriction, but it was a small gain but a big loss. This was the reason why the Brazilian team failed to perform at its best in the first half. They made timely corrections in the second half and everything seemed to be under control.
In overtime, the Brazilian team is about to exert its strength and use its peak offensive to crush England. What chance does England have? Absolutely not!
In the final period of the second half, the cost of nine yellow cards seemed to be just a desperate struggle.
Unexpected!
Looking at the world, who can be as decisive and ruthless as that young marshal, who can cut off his own retreat and really give it a go?
And the way he used it was so extreme.
There's only one chance, only this time.
In regular matches, it cannot be used, because even if the fight is successful, there is still time left for Brazil.
Only the extra time gave them a break, allowing the young marshal to arrange the counterattack impeccably, and that damn golden ball system!
Without the golden ball system, what if the Brazilian team is scored a goal now? With more than 20 minutes left, 9 players of the England team were yellow, and their physical fitness was almost exhausted. Not to mention the equalizer, the Brazilian team scored two goals to reverse the situation.
Hopes are high!
Scolari raised his head and cast his gaze at the young marshal who was surrounded by people in the field.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: What an unforgettable figure.
Not to mention taking the wrong side of the sword, fighting for one's life so desperately, the damn bet is won!
I'm afraid there is no other football coach in the world who is so crazy.
One side is heaven, the other side is hell.
England is going to Yokohama, Brazil is going to Daegu.
Scolari was full of bitterness at this time, but not too unwilling. Afterwards, he realized: If I had put aside all worries from the beginning, I am afraid that the battle would have been resolved in 90 minutes.
Is it unjust to lose?
What reason is there to complain?
He walked into the stadium and began to comfort his disciples.
Aldridge hugged Bart and Ferdinand respectively on the court.
The two men, whose next game would be suspended and who missed the World Cup finals, were more excited than anyone else and more emotional than anyone else. However, when Aldridge hugged them, the two men almost shed tears.
World Cup final!
A lifelong dream is so close, but can only be seen from a distance.
Ronaldinho looked up at the night sky with his hands on his hips. The crazy celebrations of the English people lingered in his ears. However, he seemed to have fallen into a state of isolation and loneliness.
The hustle and bustle is gone, everything is silent, I just look at the clear night sky, a sky more worthy of appreciation than London.
The opportunity to become the world champion has disappeared, and the Hercules Cup is far away.
Ronaldinho suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling.
Thinking of England's last overwhelming and shocking blow.
It's really the boss's style.
With someone hugging his shoulder, Ronaldinho turned his head and saw a familiar face.
"Do you blame me?"
Ronaldinho shook his head and said calmly: "If you lose, you lose. Although, if you are not the coach of England, Brazil's victory should be no problem, but since you are, and England won, there is nothing to complain about. If we had to do it again,
, England without you would be defeated by Brazil and eventually win the final. But what's the point? The strongest in the world?"
Aldrich thought about it carefully and said, "These words are really like a mad lion."
"Who told me that I was trained by a crazy lion? Isn't that what coach Tiantian said? Football is not about the strong winning, but the winning is strong. Losing is losing. If you complain about everything, why play football?
I might as well start a column and become a sports commentator."
Ronaldinho also put his arm around Aldridge's shoulders. He was his master and apprentice in the club and his enemy in the World Cup. This scene caused all the reporters at the scene to rush over and take pictures three meters away from the two of them.
The two of them have long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and in the eyes of others, this scene has too many intriguing meanings.
Aldridge has long been listed as a legend, Ronaldinho is just waiting to be crowned king.
Whoever goes to Yokohama to win the title will have a higher status in history.
Although it is a bit cruel, the reality is that Aldridge led England to the final. Ronaldinho is still the favorite for this year's Ballon d'Or, but he missed the best opportunity to be crowned the world champion.
"Any regrets?"
"Since the beginning of the World Cup, it has happened every time. Thierry made an appointment with me to meet in Yokohama last month, but he left very early. I thought I would have the opportunity to meet Bernd directly four days later. When I thought about it, I felt
Unexpectedly, now, there is no chance, but fortunately, watching you go to Yokohama, I am happy whether you win or lose. If you win, congratulations to you, if you lose, I will laugh at you, hahaha."
Aldrich raised the corner of his mouth and felt a sense of relief in his heart. He had watched Ronaldinho grow up, especially on the day of the defeat in Munich. Ronaldinho, who was in tears, had really grown up overnight and became more mature mentally.
Ronaldinho suddenly said: "Although I don't resent anything, after all, I lost a ticket to the final. The World Cup final, not the League Cup final. Henrik, Bernd and the others must be a little aggrieved when they play against you. They feel a little bit wronged by you."
The feeling of betrayal, hehe, I should get something from you as compensation, right?"
Aldrich burst into laughter and asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Ronaldinho opened his mouth and said: "Robbery! I haven't read the new contract the club gave me. It used to be a weekly salary of 50,000, but now I want 70,000!"
Aldridge shook his head and turned to leave. Ronaldinho kept shouting: "Don't be stingy, 69,68,65 is okay, right? Aldridge! After all, I have a Millwall registered permanent residence!"
You can't make me feel cold!"
Aldridge stopped, turned around, looked at Ronaldinho strangely, and asked: "You really didn't read the new contract?"
Ronaldinho's eyes suddenly widened and he said: "Did you give me 70,000? What a coincidence? Then add another 10,000! Give me a weekly salary of 80,000! The highest in the team, I want to be the boss!"
Aldrich said nothing, and looked at Ronaldinho with a smile in his eyes for a while, which made Ronaldinho feel scared: Wouldn't he make the boss angry?
"Well, it was just a joke..."
Aldrich left after saying a few words.
"You should have had the consciousness to be the boss of the Mad Lion!"
Ronaldinho is confused again, what does it mean?
On this day, pubs all over England were full to celebrate England's advancement to the final.
That night, Ronaldinho was informed by his agent Andrew that Millwall had prepared a new contract for him before the World Cup, with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds plus loyalty rewards, which was the same as the salary of the team's three captains, ranking among the team's highest salary.
The top 32 competed all over the world. After a month of fighting, the blood-stained World Cup came to its final stage. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
