Joe Hart was not dissatisfied because he could not play. He watched the England team's training and Ivan's training. Ivan did have an extraordinary sense of smell in saving penalties!
On this point, Joe Hart is completely impressed!
If Capello substituted him, he wouldn't dare to say that he could save the penalty. All of them in England, except Irwin, are bad at taking penalties!
Joe Hart started biting his finger again. There were 40 minutes left in the game and they were one goal behind. I wonder how Alvin will perform as a goalkeeper. Can they reverse the situation against Germany with one less striker?
In fact, Joe Hart himself was weak. The German team's assembly line-like attack was obvious to all. If England wanted to make a comeback, they had to ensure that they scored a goal in the frontcourt without conceding any goal in the backcourt! At least if they can drag the game into a penalty shootout, they will have a chance!
But can Ivan block all the opponent's goals?
Even if he did it in these 40 minutes and England equalized the score, they would still have to face half an hour of extra time before the penalty kicks, which is the most challenging moment. Can Alvin hold on?
Joe Hart couldn't help but put his hands together and kept praying to God.
James was sent off with a red card and he will be suspended for the next game. Green was abandoned by Capello because of a low-level mistake. In the next game, no matter whether it is a fight for the championship or the third place, he will basically be the goalkeeper on the field!
Yet who wouldn’t want to play in a World Cup final if they could?
Joe Hart, who has not played in the World Cup round of 32 since joining the national team, said that if he debuted in the World Cup final, although the pressure would be great, pressure is motivation, so don't be too complacent...
Capello stood on the sidelines, unfathomable.
When the camera was on him, the commentators speculated: "Capello seems very confident in his decision to let Ivan be the goalkeeper. Could it be that England has some tricks that we don't know about?"
The penalty kick was caught by Ivan, and the next step was a goal kick.
The commentators were just about to continue the match when they saw Ivan kick the ball out with a big kick, accurately finding Lampard in the midfield.
Lampard immediately seized the opportunity, passed the ball to Crouch, and England quickly launched a counterattack!
Rooney was surrounded in the middle when he received the ball, but because there was one less player on the front line, he had no choice but to clear the ball away by Lahm.
Andy wanted to play himself and fill in this position: "What a beautiful counterattack! If there was someone on the right side just now, Rooney would not have lost the ball... But this is a good sign, we are only one goal behind, come on boys!"
The English fans stood up and sat down again, feeling a little regretful. Ah, it would be great if Xiao Tiantian was here. With Lu Xiaopang’s ability, Xiao Tiantian would definitely be able to score a goal with just a pass!
But this counterattack gave English fans hope that they still have a chance to fight!
Richard: “Yes, fellow fans, England was not defeated by the sudden setback. Our players did not give up, and they even played out their own character! Let us cheer for them together!”
The England team failed in their attack and began to shrink their defense. There is still a chance to attack, and the rear must not lose!
They know very well that they have to hold out for a while. Brothers, protect our Ivan, hold out, we can win!
So, what followed was an exciting time with the English hiding in the penalty area and the Germans bombarding them.
England retreated across the board, which was equivalent to giving up a large area of the frontcourt to Germany. Their midfielder Ozil had ample room to play, and it was not too easy for him to distribute the ball.
Muller ate the balls fed by Ozil all the way. They were in a stalemate with the English for five minutes. The English players were very tenacious. No matter they were forwards or midfielders and defenders, at this moment, they all regarded themselves as iron defenders. Except for their arms and hands, their whole body was a weapon for them to clear the ball.
As the goalkeeper, Alvin had no chance to touch the ball in these five minutes.
The English players now have only one belief, to try their best to reduce the burden of goalkeeping on Ivan and save him if possible!
Andy read the running data of the English players: "The average running distance of the English players in the second half exceeded that of the German players by two-thirds..."
The fans kept praying, and seeing Germany wreaking havoc on the England penalty area and their own players struggling to clear the ball, they felt both moved and sad.
But it is impossible for the goalkeeper not to touch the ball, and the English players will counterattack when they find an opportunity. England midfielder Gerrard made a mistake in stopping the ball and was intercepted by Klose. The German frontcourt invaded the penalty area again!
After they cooperated twice, they almost had a one-on-one situation!
England fans covered their mouths, almost covering their eyes!
"This ball is dangerous! Oh my God, Terry was dribbled past, Ivan? Ivan!! Ivan came out and cleared the ball beautifully!"
When facing Muller's kick, Alvin did not do what other goalkeepers do - save the ball or fall to the ground. He just came to the approximate shooting route he had identified and stretched out his legs to block the ball!
His movements were as amateurish as they could be, but as long as he could save the ball, who the hell cares how Alvin saved the ball? !
Awww! The England fans who were afraid to watch jumped up again. Those who didn't know thought they had scored a goal. If they had flowers in their hands, the grass of the Durban Stadium would have been piled with them!
Ivan cleared the ball, and the effect was comparable to him scoring a goal!
Before the fans could breathe a sigh of relief, the next thrilling attack came again!
Ivan might not be used to catching the ball with his hands. He still had the idea of kicking the ball with his feet in his mind. When he saw the ball, he wanted to use his legs. It made people wonder if he had forgotten that he was a goalkeeper now...
Oh shit!
The fans were all shocked. Have you ever seen a goalkeeper kick the ball without using his hands? !
This is right in front of the door! Alvin, wake up, you still have a pair of hands!
And Alvin loves to use his left leg! I don’t have much use for my right leg, okay, that’s no problem… screw you, it’s no problem! That Ivan! He was able to solve all problems in front of the goal with just his left leg!
Whenever the German team has a break in shooting, he can quickly adjust his body center of gravity and continue kicking the ball with his left foot!
The message board is full of joy:
【Xiao Tiantian: High leg lift to save the situation.gif】
【Xiao Tiantian: Kick the ball.gif】
[Sweetheart: Is there any ball that cannot be cleared with one leg? If so, use two! .gif】
All the fans were stunned, even the England players. Fat Luke and the others looked confused, watching Ivan solve the problem with his long legs.
Look at the time, well, it's already the 75th minute and England is still trailing 1-2, and the deficit has not been widened.
The two coaches on the sidelines seemed to change their expressions. Capello's tense face relaxed, but Löw's face became tense instead.
Everyone knows that the key to success is to make a strong effort at the beginning but then decline and become exhausted. The German team's players will be affected by their repeated failures in attack.
And what is England playing for? They are playing a defensive counterattack!
Löw could no longer stand, he began to pace back and forth, shouting loudly from time to time, commanding his disciples.
This time it was Ozil who got the ball. He looked ahead, assessed the situation, and simply kicked the ball himself!
This long shot was wonderful. Ozil once stepped up in the third group match and used a long shot to help Germany beat the opponent 1-0 and help Germany advance to the round of 16.
It was too late for the England defenders, they could only turn their heads quickly and hope that their awesome teammate Alvin could save the ball!
“Bang!”
The stands were boiling again, and thunderous applause resounded throughout the Durban Stadium. Alvin cleared the ball again! He blocked the ball with big eyes and cute face!
No! The key point this time is that Alvin used his hands! He used his hands to clear the situation!
The message board was red and hot. They were originally very nervous, but now they were in the spirit of happy football:
"Sweetheart: Okay, I'm going to be serious. I'm going to use my hands to guard the goal."
"Sweetheart: I put my feet down and took my hands up. I'm going to play the game seriously."
"Sweetheart: Hey, this time the one shooting the ball isn't a silver, it's a gold. Time to play the game with my hands."
"Congratulations to German sweetie Mesut Ozil for achieving his feat: making England's big boss Alvin de Witt use his invincible sweet palm."
"Congratulations to my little wife for getting the first time that Xiao Tiantian used her hands to help her out."
"Mueller is watching you silently."
The two English commentators felt that they were in urgent need of a quick-acting life-saving pill: "God, the magical Ivan, his talent is so amazing, before today, he probably never thought of playing as a goalkeeper, right? Facing a big competition, facing a completely unfamiliar position, he not only remained calm, but also resolved countless threatening attacks!"
Commentators from various countries: "What's more frightening is that he has such talent, but he doesn't become arrogant because of it. He works harder than anyone else. I heard that he would take nearly 100 free kicks before the game. With talent and hard work, how can such a person not be a child of destiny?"
Commentators from all over the world were praising Irwin. They thought that as long as Irwin was guarding the goal, it would be difficult for England to launch a counterattack. They were one man short and Germany's defense was strong. Many people believed that if England could lose to Germany 1-2, it would be the best result they could achieve.
"Even if England loses in the end, they still win with honor!" Countless commentators commented like this.
However, Alvin's goal has never been just to guard the door!
The game passed minute by minute, and when the time came to the 89th minute, when England's counterattack was resolved again, German fans were already delighted!
England fans were both relieved and unwilling. They were relieved that they did not lose the ball in the backcourt, but they were unwilling that they were defeated by the German team in this narrow way.
It is obvious that they have strength that is not inferior to Germany!
They are an absolutely strong team, they are clearly capable of competing for the World Cup, and they don't want to stop in the semi-finals!
How difficult is it for England to reach the semi-finals?
The last time they made it to the semi-finals was in 1998!
They are the birthplace of modern football, they have the best league in the world, and their national team also has a championship lineup, but their national team competitions have repeatedly failed to make progress!
The fourth official raised the extra time card, adding 3 minutes of extra time.
The English fans couldn't dance anymore, they were tired of shouting, and many of them had tears in their eyes.
In the Durban stadium, the English fans sang:
"Football is coming home!"
"Football is coming home!"
For many people, they can barely have enough food and clothing, they can live an unhappy life, but their life cannot be without football!
Football goes home! The World Cup is coming home! The national team can’t go home!
Various flags on the message board:
"If England qualify, I will resign tomorrow."
"If England qualify, I will propose to my girlfriend tomorrow!"
"If England qualify, I'll break up tomorrow!"
"If England can qualify, I...I will immediately sell my signed jersey and fly to South Africa tomorrow!"
“It’s time to update some sweet avatars!”
Everyone was praying to God, setting flags, and sighing, but what happened on the court shocked them to the point of choking.
Shortly after the fourth official raised the extra time sign, the goal was empty in front of England!
Oh shit! Where is the goalkeeper! Where is the goalkeeper? !
Oh shit! Look at that sweetie! He dribbled the ball out of the penalty area!
When the German players saw the goalkeeper coming out, they were stunned and started to frantically intercept the ball and defend.
The German goalkeeper Neuer on the opposite side opened his mouth wide, Oh my God, this is the first time in his life that he has seen a goalkeeper more ruthless than him!
The commentator's voice trembled: "Oh my God, Ivan passed Muller! Oh... he, he passed Ozil again, and the one coming towards him is Klose... Oh oh oh he passed again..."
English fans’ eyes are about to pop out of their heads. Is Alvin going to create another miracle? Can we equalize?
Ivan was still struggling to break forward. He sped up all the way and didn't even have time to pass the ball to his teammates. He knew that his teammates were very tired at this time and giving them the ball might cause mistakes. There was an empty goal behind him and he couldn't look back!
However, regardless of whether he got in or not, the whole world, at this moment, had completely remembered the name Alvin DeWitt!
Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end, the world of football should remember him!
"Evan is at the halfway point! He cleverly made his way through the crowd on his own!" The English commentator's voice was filled with tears.
The Germans quickly calmed down. It didn't matter, Ivan was still in the half. Lahm and others quickly retreated and stood with their fifth defender Neuer. They were confident that they could intercept the ball before Ivan entered their penalty area.
Then, what awaits Germany will be England's empty goal!
But none of them expected that Alvin did not continue moving forward with the ball. Instead, he kicked the ball directly from the center circle!
He used his left foot, and this kick was very powerful!
Neuer just ran out from the front of the goal, but when he saw that the situation was not right, he quickly ran back!
As he ran, he looked up nervously at the ball flying straight at him.
Oh shit! This ball is going to pass him! QAQ
He could only watch the ball pass him and go into the goal...
"Evans lobs the ball into the goal from half time!!! Oh my god, oh my god, the ball goes in!!! gooooooooal!! Praise to Evan! England's hero, he is England's hero! He is on par with Maradona and Zidane! God! How about that!! How about that!!!"
Aaaaaaaaaaaah! The Durban stadium is going crazy!
In the camera, among the smiles all over the screen of England fans, there were also tears of joy!
What are you standing there for! Cry for me!
When every team is in desperate situation, it needs a hero to stand up and turn the tide!
And when England faced this moment, Alvin stood up! England is most fortunate to have such a hero!
"England needs a hero to stand up, and that hero is Alvin!"
"I dare say that if England can advance today, no, I should say that if England can make it all the way to the semi-finals, Ivan's role cannot be ignored!"
"He alone is a team! He is a true savior-type star. With his creativity and agility, he perfectly slaps the face of the utilitarian football theory!"
The camera stayed on Ivan’s face for a long time, unwilling to leave!
He once told you that he would be reborn from the ashes and return as a king!
Now, he did it! He proved himself! He saved England!
He raised his arms and turned back to greet his teammates until he was overwhelmed by them!
There is still hope for England! They equalized the score in the final moments.
What reason is there not to believe that England, with such hard work and Ivan, can't create a miracle again?
"God has not abandoned England, God has not abandoned Irving. Thank God, thank the Creator! Thank you for the power that turns decay into magic, and gives England such talent and personality!"
The referee blew the final whistle. The Germans couldn't believe it. They had been so close to victory within 90 minutes, but now they were back to the same starting line!
The author has something to say: Chapter 110 will give out 50 red envelopes~
Your sexy author, cooing online...
Ahhh, sorry, I have a lot of things to do today. There will be benefits tomorrow, believe me!
Today I told the little cuties in the group that if I don’t gain ten pounds every day, I will gain ten pounds, I will gain ten pounds! ! !
PS: There was no goal-line technology in 2010, so whether the ball went in or not depended entirely on the referee’s eyes.
FIFA only introduced the goal-line referee in 2012, which led to Lampard's goal-line injustice during the 2010 England vs. Germany match.
