Chapter 569 Finale
The game at the Berlin Olympic Park Stadium is still going on. The scoreboard shows 0:1, and England is temporarily one point behind.
But all the spectators felt that they already knew the final result, simply because England's goalkeeper was a complete rookie and such a goalkeeper would deal a fatal blow to the England team.
"England was going to lose, I didn't expect it."
"It's all that idiot goalkeeper's fault. How could he get injured so easily?"
"Will Alan score again? Maybe England still has a chance."
Among the fans at the scene, perhaps only the English fans had hope for England's victory. Most fans and media turned their comments to the Italian team because they felt that Italy would be the final winner.
Although Wang Li and the England team had a great record before, facing this embarrassing situation, even if Wang Li could score three goals, what would it matter? Italy could easily score four, five or even more.
What should I do about this?
England coach McClaren had no idea what to do. He could only put his hope on God. Yes, God. He felt that only God could save the England team at this time.
For Italy, the current situation is very good. After the England goalkeeper left the field, they can shoot more easily because Phil Neville is not a professional goalkeeper at all. As long as they shoot the ball within the goal frame, they can score.
The game is 17 minutes in.
It was another Italian attack. Gattuso kicked the ball to Pirlo in the backcourt, and the latter made a long pass to Camoranesi on the wing.
After receiving the ball on the wing, Camoranesi took two steps forward and made a pass with Totti who was following him. After two passes from the two, the ball reached the corner of the penalty area. Camoranesi saw the opportunity and shot directly!
The football flew straight into the goal, but because the shot was not hasty and the angle was not tricky, it could be said that it flew directly into the arms of Phil Neville, who was temporarily acting as goalkeeper.
However, Neville was not a professional goalkeeper after all, and he let the ball slip away.
Fortunately, John Terry reacted in time and kicked the ball out of the sideline. Otherwise, if Gilardino had grabbed the ball first, it would have definitely been a goal.
But despite this, Italy's attack still put the English players under great pressure, because they found that their rear was too problematic. After the game resumed, several England midfielders all retreated unconsciously.
If they want to win, they must first stabilize their defense, which makes the England team play extremely passively for a while.
Seeing the situation of the game, Wang Li was also full of worries. He felt that he could not wait any longer, at least he could not let Italy score before England. Otherwise, if the score gap widened to two goals, it would become very difficult for England to catch up.
So, in another attack, Wang Li finally did not pass the ball to his teammates and wait for an opportunity.
Now no one is optimistic about the England team, and even the England players are all very discouraged. Wang Li feels that it is time for him to show his skills. As long as he can score before Italy, he will be sure to lead England to victory!
Outside the penalty area, Italy's defense against England's players is very tight. Italian defenders are generally good at zonal running. Their backup defense and tactical awareness are stronger than those of teams trained in other leagues. Therefore, Italian defenders are the most trustworthy in the world.
Italy's defense against Wang Li can be described as airtight. It is not easy for him to break into the penalty area with his skills.
At this time, Wang Li was being double-teamed by three Italian defenders, but after using light steps to evade Italy's defense, Wang Li still received the pass six meters outside the penalty area.
At this time, Pirlo, who had caught up, immediately ran over to intercept, and Zambrotta and Nesta also came over to double-team. As a result, Wang Li was again caught in a double-team situation, and the situation looked quite critical.
Although Wang Li's footwork can be said to have reached the limit of human beings, the double-teaming of three of the world's top Italian defenders was still annoying. At least it was almost an impossible task for Wang Li to use normal skills to dribble past the three of them.
However, Wang Li also uses abnormal techniques such as dream dance steps!!!
This extraordinary move was rarely used after Wang Li created it, because it was useless in the beginning. Now that this move has become mature, the amount of internal energy it consumes is truly astonishing.
But it is difficult for Wang Li to meet an opponent.
Now he has met his opponents: Pirlo, Zambrotta, and Nesta. It is not easy to break through these three world-class defenders. But if he misses this opportunity, then the next Italian attack may score a goal. If he wants to lead these teammates who have no morale to win the game, the difficulty will be at least twice as high.
This is the only chance!
Wang Li kept talking in his mind, then turned around and dribbled the ball to face the three men.
Seeing this scene, Pirlo and the other two were more or less nervous. Although they didn't want to admit it, all three of them were unsure if they could defend against the black-haired boy in front of them, because very few people had ever intercepted him while dribbling the ball.
However, the three were confident that they could force Wang Li to pass the ball.
Is this really the case?
At least the next moment, Wang Li still didn't pass the ball.
As he was running forward with the ball with his footwork that left no footprints on the snow, he suddenly stretched out his left foot as if to protect the ball. Before Pirlo in front of him could react, his right foot also stepped forward. At the same time, his left foot shook slightly inward, and the football rolled to the right during the contact. a 360-degree turn.
During the whole process, the football was always between his legs, which stunned Pirlo in front of him. He was unable to kick the ball, and Zambrotta and Nesta also came over behind him.
But Wang Li did not stop turning, he still maintained the repeated turning and dribbling of the ball, which made the three people helpless. They could only use their bodies to bump into Wang Li, trying to take advantage of the gaps in his movement to surround and snatch the ball.
But Wang Li was prepared for this.
When he saw the actions of the three people, he stopped turning around and kicked the ball forward out of the encirclement, then rushed out with a series of light steps.
"Beautiful!! Alan's passing is amazing"
The commentator at the scene could not help but exclaimed: "It was really wonderful, Allen's turn and pass. The English seemed to like to call this move a dream dance, and we actually saw this move in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. It was so beautiful."
"I'm afraid only Alan can do this."
The tense situation on the field did not allow the commentator to say more, because Wang Li had already reached the penalty area. Due to his speed, the other Italian players had no time to rush forward to defend him. After shaking off the three players, he was left unguarded.
In this situation, let alone Buffon standing in front of Italy's goal, even if the goal was 99% blocked, Wang Li was still very confident that he would score.
There was no doubt about the result. Wang Li made a very accurate shot and shot the ball directly into the blind corner of Italy's goal. At this moment, the entire Berlin Olympic Stadium was silent.
after
"Goooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!! Alan King!!!!!!"
"Excellent attack, excellent dribbling, Alan! It's Alan again!! He equalized the score for England, wonderful!! I really can't describe this goal in words, because it is simply amazing. This goal may very well become the best goal of this World Cup, although the second, third and fourth best players were all won by Alan alone."
The commentator's words seemed unimportant, because he didn't need to explain at all. The players at the scene were already excited, even the fans supporting the French team.
Many fans shouted Wang Li's name and kept recalling the wonderful dribble and goal that had just happened.
However, this cannot change the fans' views.
No matter how wonderful and outstanding Wang Li's goal was, it was just a goal. Even if he tied the score or surpassed the score, what would it matter? The game had only been going on for 20 minutes, and it was entirely possible that Italy could score more!
They still favor Italy to win
Just when the England team should have been celebrating the goal, Wang Li walked towards the England bench and told McLaren that he wanted to be a goalkeeper.
"Goalkeeper???"
McLaren stared at Wang Li with wide eyes and said, "You want to be a goalkeeper? But what about the team's offense?"
Wang Li pointed at his teammates on the field and said, "Then leave it to them."
"But"
McLaren was very hesitant. He didn't know why this black-haired boy had such an idea. Was it because he didn't trust Phil Neville?
But how can he perform as a goalkeeper himself?
McLaren didn't know.
However, after several persuasions and seeing the firm and calm look in the eyes of the black-haired boy in front of him, McLaren chose to believe it. After all, England's chances of winning are really slim now, so perhaps this will be the beginning of a change?
So, under the incredible gaze of all the fans, Wang Li quickly changed into the goalkeeper's "suit" and took advantage of the break in the game to come to the England team's goal.
Phil Neville, who was originally the substitute goalkeeper, simply changed his jersey and ran into the stadium.
It's still 11 vs. 11.
Everyone in the stadium was looking at Wang Li. In fact, it was really incredible. Just like what the commentator said, "Oh my God, I can't believe that Allen is standing in the goalkeeper position. Doesn't he want to win the game? This scene looks ridiculous. The world's most valuable striker is actually playing goalkeeper. Is today April Fool's Day?"
What will it be like for a super shooter to be a goalkeeper?
No one knows, but 99.9 percent of people are not optimistic about Wang Li's performance. They are even less optimistic about the England team, because without Wang Li, England's offense will obviously drop a level. Then how can they beat the Italian team?
The England players were also not optimistic about Wang Li, except for David Beckham on the bench.
Beckham has always known that Wang Li has some special abilities, and Thomas once told him that Wang Li might be a better goalkeeper than himself, and he remembered this sentence deeply in his mind.
So, when everyone in the stadium was watching the game in silence, Beckham stood up from the bench with an expectant look on his face, and under the surprised gazes of others, he began to cheer for Wang Li: "Alan! After this game, we will hold up the World Cup trophy and celebrate your wedding!"
He shouted this sentence with almost all his strength, so even in the noisy stadium, this sentence still spread far away. At least with Wang Li's sharp ears and eyes, he heard it. He turned his head and smiled at Beckham, making an 'OK' gesture with his hand.
Although they only understood the meaning of Wang Li's action from a few words, the Italian players were still very angry.
At this point, does this black-haired boy still want to win?
They will never allow it!
During the break in the game, Italian head coach Lippi asked the Italian players to take advantage of the momentum and score goals as soon as possible to avoid special situations.
But what Lippi didn't know was that it was too late to say this now, because Wang Li was already standing in the goal.
After the game resumed, Italy went against the traditional team tactics of defensive counterattack and directly released its formation and began to bombard the England half.
The England players were all worried about the goal, so they all retreated to the backcourt to defend the attack.
The situation changed immediately, Italy turned to offense, while England turned to defense and counterattack. England's situation was once extremely bad, but at this time, Wang Li, standing in front of the goal, looked very indifferent. He watched Italy's attack with a wooden expression, watching his teammates use their bodies to block the ball out of the penalty area again and again.
So he exploded
"All of you guys go attack! I'm enough in the backcourt!"
Wang Li shouted this sentence using an inner force similar to the "Buddhist Lion's Roar", which stunned all the players in the half. They couldn't understand why Wang Li had such confidence, and the Italian players were even more angry.
She actually defied us again and again!!!
Do you think you are Kahn or Buffon?
As a result, the attack became more intense. Finally, Gilardino received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area and found a good opportunity. He aimed at the blind spot of the goal and shot directly! !
Judging from the position, power and angle of the kick, Gilardino knew the ball would go in at the moment of the shot.
"Gilardino shoots!! Oh my god"
Wang Li swung his legs and at the moment Gilardino shot, he dove to the left and grabbed the ball directly in his hand. This shot with this little power was really a piece of cake for the strength of his hands and internal strength.
The whole audience was in awe
"Oh! Good! Good!" After England head coach McClaren reacted, he stood up directly from the coaching seat. He clapped his hands loudly and applauded and praised the saves without paying any attention to his image.
At the same time, Italy's head coach Lippi stared at Wang Li in front of the England goal, wondering what he was thinking.
Three seconds later
The fans in the stadium reacted, and the English fans shouted loudly: "Haha!! Alan, you are the goalkeeper, come on! Great!"
As for the Italian fans, they all complained in dissatisfaction - "Shit luck!"
"He's so lucky to be able to catch this!"
"I think Alan should buy a lottery ticket!"
However, Wang Li's expression was indifferent. He did not think that catching the ball was anything to boast about or be happy about. After all, it was a piece of cake for him.
Now the two teams are just tied, England needs goals, really needs goals.
"Go! Don't stay in the backcourt, go score goals, I'm enough in the backcourt!" He threw the ball to Gerrard near the center line with one hand, while shouting loudly to his teammates.
With this save, no matter whether it was due to luck or strength, at least the English players had great confidence in Wang Li's goalkeeping, so, with peace of mind, they launched a steady counterattack.
However, whether it was Owen, Rooney or other players, none of them had Wang Li's dribbling ability and shooting accuracy. In the end, Gerrard's long shot turned directly into an airplane, ending this attack. The ball was changed to the Italian team again.
From this moment on, perhaps the tragedy of the Italian forwards began - in the 37th minute, "Totti shot the ball!! Allen caught the ball in one hand"
In the 41st minute, "It's Totti again. He got a chance in the far corner of the penalty area and shot from long range! Allen kicked the ball out of bounds."
In the 49th minute, "Tony! Our Tony, he dribbled past three players and got a single shot! Beautiful! Allen saved the ball from the left, what a wonderful save!"
In the 57th minute, "It's Grosso, right back Grosso! Header pass! Oh, my God, the ball is held directly in Alan's arms"
In the 63rd minute, "This is a free kick from Pirlo. In AC Milan, Pirlo is the team's first free kick taker, and Pirlo is very good at this free kick position. He kicked it!! Allen jumped up casually and took the ball from the air with both hands"
As the game progressed, Italian head coach Lippi's face was covered with sweat. Looking at the game on the field, especially the black-haired boy in front of the England team's goal, he felt a deep despair.
Someone tell me what the fuck is going on!!
A striker who is a super shooter can actually perform so well as a goalkeeper. Not to mention Buffon, even if there are two Buffons, it's useless! Ah! Ah! Ah!
How can I kick this ball?
At this time, the object of "how to play" in Lippi's mind had become the Italian team. He felt that it had become extremely difficult to win the game because with that black-haired boy in front of the goal, it was almost impossible for Italy to score a goal.
For example, in Grosso's header just now, the shot was only two meters away from the goal, but when the shot was made, the black-haired boy was standing in the far corner, which was completely the wrong position.
However, the ball was still saved!!
As for how he saved the ball? Lippi still couldn't believe it. He clearly saw the black-haired boy's figure forming a shadow in the air, and then suddenly appeared in front of the ball.
Is this due to too fast speed?
He doesn't know.
But in fact, the fast speed is just Wang Li's body movement, and the phantom is the effect of the Tianshan Zhemei Hand. Of course, he will not explain these to Lippi, so let this old man live in confusion.
The England players are definitely not stupid.
After the half-time break, they learned that Wang Li's goalkeeping ability was extraordinary, even far surpassing Buffon, so they immediately stepped up their offense. As for defense, it was up to the black-haired boy!
He has always been trustworthy.
At least that's what they think now.
However, facing Italy's zone defense, England still had a hard time even on the counterattack. At least until the 77th minute of the game, they still hadn't scored a goal.
Why do I say so?
Because in the 78th minute, they finally scored a goal. The goal was scored by winger Hargreaves, who broke through the goal guarded by Buffon with a world-class long shot from 25 meters away.
At this moment, the gap between Buffon and Wang Li was clearly revealed.
But this doesn’t matter, because the score has become 2:1, England is leading for the first time in the game, they have overtaken the score!
The result of the following game was almost completely predictable: England did not score any more goals, and Italy was also unable to break through the goal guarded by Wang Li.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the game was finally over, and the England team won the World Cup championship as they wished!
After 50 years, they finally won the World Cup championship again!!
It was a star-studded night. Under the gaze of all the fans in the stadium and hundreds of millions of fans around the world, Wang Li, wearing goalkeeper uniform and the captain's armband given by Beckham, led the England players step by step to the podium.
Next, he received the World Cup trophy, which represents the pinnacle, from the FIFA President!
“We are the champions!!!”
Following this shout, Wang Li raised the trophy high with both hands!!!
Just after the award ceremony, FIFA President Mr. Blatter held up the microphone and asked Wang Li a question. This question made everyone in the audience silent because they all wanted to know the answer.
"Alan, can you tell me why you, as a striker and super shooter, can also perform so well as a goalkeeper?"
"because"
Wang Li thought for a moment, then fixed his eyes on the cameras of many reporters, and said with a calm smile: "Actually, I am not best at being a striker. I should say that as a goalkeeper, I can perform better." Blatt asked in confusion: "Then why don't you choose to be a goalkeeper?"
"Because I don't like it."
