879 The Epic of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
The German team attacked desperately in the last five minutes of the game. Voller also hoped that the German team could perform a majestic performance like England's stunning victory over Brazil. Unfortunately, England's defense was very tight and the German team itself did not even have a playmaker.
, people rushed forward, but it was more like a mob.
As soon as the ball passed the front midfielder area, Hargreaves stepped forward and intercepted it. That scene really made the German people sad and crazy.
On both sides of Hargreaves, Klose and Hamann, both of them thought that the other party would come to meet him, but they didn't move at all, and they both focused on rushing forward. Hargreaves seemed more like he had received the response from the German team.
pass the ball and then control the ball easily.
A diagonal pass was passed to Beckham, who was switching from defense to offense and running wide.
Beckham looked ahead and accurately passed the ball diagonally. McManaman successfully countered offside on the other side. The German team's soldiers pressed into the empty space behind, and the English team directly penetrated the entire defense line with a simple long pass counterattack.
McManaman dribbled the ball towards the German team's penalty area. Kahn did not move, still waiting. He would not attack rashly, which would only give the opponent a chance to score.
When the time was almost up, Kahn gave up the goal. There was no way, the German team's defender was not as fast as McManaman was able to rush forward with the ball.
All the England fans at the scene stood up, holding their breath and cheering for the poodle from the bottom of their hearts.
Shoot this ball in!
After entering the penalty area, McManaman was about to meet Kahn. He suddenly made a cross pass. Kahn stopped and moved laterally to block the other side, but it was obviously too late.
Alan Smith, who replaced Irving, was full of energy. From the moment McManaman countered offside, he ran forward at full speed. He sprinted long distance and got rid of Metzelder. He just arrived at the first line and received the ball from McManaman.
In order to make a safe cross pass, he pushed the ball with the arch of his foot. The goal in front of him was completely open and no one could stop him. Kahn's rescue was of no help.
At the Yokohama International Stadium, the Germans hung their heads. The English cheered to the sky!
"Alan Smith helped England seal the victory! Hahaha! The Germans wanted to copy our offense that eliminated Brazil, but we sealed the victory! David's long fax was wonderful, Steve's assist was selfless, Alan
He must be ecstatic at this time, he came on as a substitute and actually scored a goal! England's participation in the World Cup has told the world what unity is and what a real team is! England has returned to the top of the world and is about to win its second World Cup championship.
Trophy!”
Alan Smith roared heartlessly, and his abundant physical fitness allowed him to run unscrupulously. He knew that he was not the most important member of the national team. But as long as he played, he would burn everything he had to contribute to England!
Woller waved his hand towards the backcourt, indicating that the whole team should just go back and defend well. There was not much time left in the game. Trying your luck to get through and get the whole team to press? That would be courting death.
At this time, Aldridge called Terry and Carrick to the sidelines and handed over the substitution list.
At the last moment, Terry replaced McManaman and Carrick replaced Lampard.
England also ran out of substitutions, and then waited for the end of the game.
The German team wanted to attack, but there was no chance at all. Their defense did not dare to press forward, and the offensive players were waiting for opportunities at the front. The midfield was the weak area, and the England team wasted their time back and forth in the midfield.
time.
When the full-time whistle ended, all the England fans at the scene burst into cheers, filling the entire stadium with noise.
"England, the great England regained the World Cup title after 36 years! Thank you Owen, thank you Alan Smith, thank you Beckham, thank you McManaman for his outstanding performance throughout this tournament! Thank you Southgate, thank you England
Everyone on the team should be most grateful to
The young coach who makes all England proud, Aldrich Hall! We saw fans in the stands holding a banner, oh, those were obviously Millwall fans, because they used the official Roar fans organization
Classic slogan style! His Majesty Aldrich Hall!”
In the north stand, a small group of fans suddenly became the focus of the stand. Saul, Brady, and Fred, three of Aldrich's friends, hugged each other and jumped up and down in the stands, and beside them,
The old fans who have "fought side by side" with them for many years turned around. The large letters on the back of the jersey formed a sentence: His Majesty Aldrich Hall! The King Arthur of English football!
This scene was written as the epic of "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" by "The Sun" when it released the report of England's championship match the next day!
King Arthur is naturally Aldridge, and all the players of the England team, including the coaching staff, have become the Knights of the Round Table.
And this story is not over yet. When McManaman was abandoned by the England team in the future, he was called Lancelot, the first warrior among the Knights of the Round Table, by The Sun. He broke with the Knights of the Round Table and regretted it.
...
Players from both sides of the field fell to the ground after referee Collina blew the final whistle!
The German players fell to the ground. Some hit the turf with their fists, while others sat back on the turf with dull faces.
The England players knelt on their knees and roared to their heart's content!
Many English fans in the stands burst into tears, 36 years!
The England coaching bench, bench, and substitute players also rushed into the field, rushed to kneel beside their teammates on the field, and the coaches also rushed in to celebrate with the players.
The only one whose expression and movements didn't seem to change was Aldrich.
He was still standing where he was, as if he could hear the excited cries, shouts, and laughter of the fans in the stands, and he could see the excitement of the England players in front of him.
This is an English day.
But, he is not English at heart.
But after all, he has lived in England for a long time, and his family has been in England all his life. He worked and became famous all in England!
He has a sense of giving back, but he still feels a little out of place.
Almost at the same time as the whistle sounded, media reporters from all over the world rushed to the sidelines and surrounded Aldrich. They formed a circle. Those in the front row squatted down. Those in the back row stood upright, and those behind him stood upright.
The reporter could only hold his camera high and focus on Aldrich.
The lights flashed, and nearly 90% of the reporters came to take pictures of the young marshal immediately.
At the age of 26, he has won five Premier League crowns, five European crowns, and seven club crowns in a single season. I thought it was an unprecedented limit. Unexpectedly, in the east of the world, the young coach pushed the limit higher again, winning the eighth crown!
World Cup Champion!
At the end of this season, the young marshal's achievements were unprecedented. Now, it can almost be concluded that in the summer of 2002, he created a myth that will never be followed again!
All the reporters surrounding Aldrich couldn't help but be confused.
When other English people ran to celebrate wildly, why did the young marshal still stand there?
That calm expression was obviously not pretending to be cool. What was he thinking deeply about?
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 were not many reporters gathered there, after all, not many media were willing to publish photos of the young marshal's back.
I saw the young coach walking to the bench, where all the players and coaches ran to celebrate. The injured Irving was only accompanied by a team doctor. The young boy chasing the wind had a smile on his face, but there were two lines of tears on his cheeks.
The young marshal walked over, lowered his head and chatted with Irving for a few words, then helped him up, put his arm around Irving's shoulders, and walked to the court step by step.
At this time, all the reporters and the audience who saw this scene all thought in their hearts: Why should you hesitate to work for such a coach?
Before Kuang Shuojin's achievements, he didn't even smile. Instead, he immediately cared about the players' injuries, and then sent the players onto the field so that his disciples could enjoy this unparalleled experience with their teammates.
glory!
Aldridge walked steadily and walked into the field unhurriedly, followed by a large group of reporters. They wanted to take pictures of the young marshal's passionate celebration and see his ecstatic expression. However, they saw
The young marshal walked up to a German team player, knelt down and stroked the player's head like an elder.
Schneider seemed to have lost all his strength. He tilted his head and leaned against Aldrich. He raised his head and asked with dull eyes: "Boss, if, if England didn't have you, the German team could beat England today."
?”
Aldrich remained silent, and Schneider sighed softly and whispered: "I asked nonsense, without the leader, England would not be so strong, but without such a strong, today it is Germany facing Brazil...
..."
Schneider overcame the initial despair. The club he played for was the strongest in the world. Of course he could understand the level of strength of the German team. However, falling in the final was heartbreaking and disappointing.
Aldridge entered the finals without losing a single game. Schneider originally had this record, but today, this record ended at the Yokohama International Stadium.
"Aren't you going to stand up? Lions players shouldn't be in this state when facing defeat."
Aldrich's words made Schneider take a deep breath and try to stand up, but he fell to the ground again and smiled bitterly at Aldrich: "My right leg is cramped."
Aldrich was about to help him stretch his hamstrings when Klose, who was not far away, ran over and hugged Schneider's right foot, lifted it up and stretched it.
"Boss, you go celebrate, I'll help him."
Klose lowered his head and did not look at Aldrich, as if he did not want Aldrich to see the tears in his eyes.
Aldrich patted Klose on the shoulder, turned and walked away without saying anything.
He actually wanted to say to Klose: You are still young.
But I feel like saying this is really hurtful.
Despite the fact that Klose is still young and can wait until Germany's resurgence ten years later, Schneider cannot wait any longer.
Aldridge, who was walking around the field, only hugged every English player or coach when he met him, without verbal praise or other too many actions. Until he saw Melanie coming to the field with her two sons, he
Then he showed a gentle smile.
Earl ran over in a hurry, shouting that his father was amazing. Aldrich bent down and hugged him and spun him around three times, then let him ride on his neck, waiting for Bert to come holding his mother's hand.
At this time, Bert took the initiative to hold Aldrich's hand again.
Melanie smiled and stared at Aldrich with deep eyes. Aldrich just showed a wry smile and shook his head slightly.
To outsiders, this is a very warm scene for a family of four. In fact, maybe Bert has become sensible and doesn't speak, but holds his parents' hands left and right. Maybe there is a little bit of thought in it.
It's just that he is a child and never understands the adult world.
Not to mention that Aldrich may not even see Melanie ten times a year. The two sons can see Melanie twice a month on average and spend two or three days together, which is good. The two children are there and can do it at any time.
When we meet each other, Aldrich inevitably travels here and there, and often gets together less and leaves more. This is not like a family.
Families of other players also walked into the stadium. McManaman was very eye-catching wearing the England flag. At this time, he seemed to have regained a bit of the cool guy's flamboyance.
Seeing 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?"
"No! I want to be a star! I will also be the captain of England in the future!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
