Chapter 111: World Cup in Progress



After 90 minutes of seesaw battle, the players had a 5-minute break and were about to face a 30-minute overtime.

In the knockout stage of the World Cup, if the two sides are tied, they will enter a 30-minute overtime. If the two sides are still tied in the number of goals at the end of the overtime, a penalty shootout will be held, which is loved by fans all over the world.

Except for the person who took the penalty, it was completely brainless and exciting to watch for everyone else. Before the overtime started, fans from all over the world were looking forward to the penalty. I hope England and Germany don't fight too hard in the overtime so that we fans can feast our eyes. Thank you.

German fans also think this is a good idea, they have absolute confidence when facing England. England fans don't think so at all. They are about to cry. They have played penalty kicks against Germany twice in the knockout rounds of the World Cup and the European Cup, and lost both times!

Not to mention Germany, they have never won a penalty shootout in the World Cup, not even once!

Take your uncle’s penalty kick! We, the Three Cats Army, refuse with our real names!

Can Xiao Tiantian score another half-court lob? Love you muah!

Of course, there are also some fans who feel sorry for England and support them, such as Italy. They absolutely support England's advancement and will avoid penalties if possible.

Ask them why? First of all, what is the relationship between Italy and Germany? A relationship of mutual dislike! Let’s not talk about historical reasons, let’s just talk about habits. Germans can’t stand the excessive romanticism of Italians, and Italians can’t stand the old-fashioned and boring Germans.

It is even more impossible to be harmonious when playing football. The relationship between Italy and the German tank is more of a rivalry than that between the Three Cats Legion and the German tank!

England fans are cheering for them, come on! The enemy of my enemy is my brother. Brothers, don’t be afraid, let’s fight Germany! Fuck Neuer!

Not to mention that the most handsome of them is said to be of Italian descent! Italy's lost little angel is awesome! Come on, Alvin, make the Germans kneel down and call you daddy!

There is also China. England is the legendary Chinese team in Europe. They also often wear red jerseys, which makes Chinese fans feel a sense of belonging, not to mention there is also Alvin.

Only the neutral female fans are wavering. Wow, both sides are very good-looking, who should I support?

Forget it, just support the most handsome one. Who is the most handsome one? The most handsome one is Alvin!

We support two things, one of which is our own country! One is Alvin Sweetie!

The camera turned to the stands, where the England wives, who had just been crying with their children, now wiped away their tears and were smiling as they supported their husbands on the field!

Huh? Why is that Portuguese guy so camera-grabbing?

Wow, he has the biggest smile with the binoculars!

#【Luo Xiaoxiao: Holding a telescope and smiling foolishly.jpg】

#【Luo Xiaoxiao: The girl across the street, look over here~ look over here~ look over here.jpg】

#【Luo Xiaoxiao: The smile gradually becomes vulgar.gif】

Ronaldo was very excited at this moment. He had not yet recovered from Irving's shot in the first half. People thought he was joking, but in fact he was looking at one person.

By observing your boyfriend closely through a telescope, you can see his every move and expression clearly!

The moment Alvin scored the goal, Luo Xiaoxiao only hated that she couldn't rush up to hug Alvin and kiss him enough.

Both sides had used up their quota of substitutions, the break was over, and the referee blew the whistle to signal the start of overtime.

Everyone thinks that England will be more anxious than Germany because their penalty kicks are really not good, not to mention that they have Ivan who is not a professional goalkeeper.

However, this was not the case on the scene. The English players had a better mentality than the German players. They were not in a hurry to attack but were prepared to defend well.

This made it very difficult for the Germans to attack, as everyone was on the verge of overdrawing their physical strength... It doesn't take much energy to shoot!

The England players do have a good mentality. Like Joe Hart, they are all people who have witnessed Irvine's god-like talent in saving penalties. He has an extraordinary sense of smell in front of the goal, and when it comes to someone with this kind of acumen in saving penalties, the first person that comes to mind is Buffon.

Save the penalty like Buffon! The man who was shot in the face by our little sweetie! Why are you panicking? Done!

There was an element of luck in Ivan's shot in the first half just now. They are experts and can see it more clearly, although ordinary people can't do it.

Ivan specifically chose the last two minutes of the game when the Germans let down their guard to dribble the ball out, catching the German frontcourt players off guard. In addition, the forwards are not professional defenders, their ability to steal the ball is not as strong as Lahm and others, and their physical strength is almost consumed, so Alvin was able to pass five people in the frontcourt.

Anyway, various factors were indispensable for Alvin to score that goal.

Ivan had his considerations for choosing a long shot. The opposing defenders had reacted and retreated, so it was unwise for him to dribble into the penalty area alone at this time. It would be better to try a long shot, so that even if he failed, he would still have time to retreat and allow his teammates to catch up and shoot.

This kind of goal requires an unexpected attack. It would be too difficult to succeed again, so we might as well just take a penalty kick.

As long as they can give it a little more strength, and Alvin can show his bravery and save one or two of them, everything will be fine!

The World Cup is waving to them!

England is getting stronger and stronger as the war goes on, while Germany is showing some signs of decline.

After failing to score many times and seeing how good Ivan was at saving penalties, they were no longer confident they had much of an advantage on penalties.

Germany has very little experience in penalty kicks. This young German team has never even taken a penalty kick in a major tournament.

Ivan finally used his hands. He now used both his hands and feet. He remembered that he was a goalkeeper now, although his movements were still so irregular.

However, when he stood in front of the goal, in the hearts of the fans, he was the patron saint of the Three Lions.

Löw kept giving orders, which contrasted with Capello's calmness on the other side.

The commentators praised Capello's coaching ability, but the message board disagreed. They said that Capello probably didn't want to admit that he was relying on the players he called in on a whim.

Commentators from various countries started boasting, and it was obvious that they, like most fans, wanted to see the penalty kicks.

"There's not much time left for both players..."

"The referee will probably blow the whistle in the next second."

"Why hasn't the whistle been blown yet? Is the referee still giving time?"

Maybe the referee didn't want to delay the penalty kick and wanted to leave work early and collect his salary? However, things did not go as planned. Germany and England "harmoniously" shook hands and made peace until the last second.

Great. Penalty.

etc! Penalty!

Ahhhhh what a penalty kick ahhhhh I’m scared!

English fans were crying and the camera kept focusing on Beckham. The 35-year-old Beckham sat there, his eyes filled with images of his 29-year-old self missing two penalties.

Oh shit, the fans broke down in tears. Even though they were mentally prepared, their hearts still ached when this moment came!

#Our hearts ache! It will be better if Xiao Tiantian kisses, hugs and lifts me up!

The Italian commentator fully sympathized with England: "How many times has the England-Germany match faced penalties? Oh, in the 1990 World Cup, the England national team, led by Gascoigne, England's last creative midfielder, fell to the Germans; in the 1996 European Cup, England fell to the German team led by Gerd Muller... Today, they once again ushered in a cruel penalty shootout."

"England has won zero World Cup matches on penalties. The classic match was the 1998 World Cup, the one where Beckham was sent off, when England lost on penalties to Argentina."

Players from both teams gathered together and fought until the last moment, when captain Gerrard's leg cramped.

The cramp was in his dominant foot. Although he recovered after a while with the help of the team doctor, he still couldn't recover to his best condition.

He was exhausted. He looked at the busy figures of the team doctors and the concerned eyes of his teammates. The man who led the Red Army Liverpool to win countless honors, the captain who was appointed in times of crisis for Liverpool and the national team, suddenly had red eyes.

Being able to get to where we are today and enter the semi-finals has far exceeded Gerrard's expectations.

Lampard squatted down and patted him on the shoulder. He could understand Gerrard's helplessness and pain in his heart when he was unable to guarantee to be a member of the team to win the championship at the last moment of the game.

The two De's are English stars of the same era. Together they have witnessed the ups and downs of the England national team over the past decade.

The problem of their inability to coexist in the national team was never solved, and it was not until they were in their 30s that hope began to glimpse.

The person who gave them hope was their young teammate Ivan.

The team doctor suggested to Capello that someone else take the penalty.

what to do?

Capello looked around and saw that several players who were not on his penalty list all lowered their heads.

His facial expression remained unchanged, but he had something in mind.

He looked at the young man who had taken off his gloves and was drinking water.

The opponent was calm and composed, his hands didn't shake, his face didn't turn red, and his expression didn't change, as if the next goalkeeper facing the penalty kick would not be him.

The camera turned to Ivin, and the commentators and fans were impressed by him.

This is a penalty, Sweetie! You are the temporary goalkeeper!

Oh, forget it. If he doesn’t stay calm, he wouldn’t be our Alvin. After all, he is the boss. Seeing him so calm, the English fans were comforted by him, and even the English players felt a little more at ease.

Beckham stood by and encouraged these juniors who performed well.

At this time, Gerrard removed his captain's armband.

He raised it up, and everyone's eyes were on him.

"Evan." He called a name.

The person whose name he called looked over and stared at Gerrard for a few seconds.

Just these few seconds of eye contact made Gerrard decide that this was the right choice.

Ivan came over and squatted.

Everyone watched Gerrard hand the captain's armband to Ivan. No one objected, and everyone acquiesced to this simple handover ceremony.

Andy said excitedly: "England captain Gerrard gave the captain's armband to Alvin! Oh! What does this mean? Alvin de Witt, the youngest England captain! Will he lead England to stand out in this cruel penalty shootout?"

Richard: "We believe in Alvin! We believe he can do it! I have a feeling he can do it, England can do it!"

This scene was also broadcast on the big screen. The English fans at the scene couldn't control their emotions when watching this scene.

Singing gradually began to sound in the Durban stadium.

The singing became louder and louder, and people gradually heard clearly that it was the song that was made popular by the England team not long ago - "Heroes".

The fans used songs to encourage the exhausted Gerrard, Beckham who was unable to participate in the World Cup due to injury, the aging heroes on the field, and their new generation stars Rooney and Irvine...

Perhaps there are even more people who can no longer join the national team and can no longer continue to compete in the World Cup to win glory for their country.

But you cannot deny that they are irreplaceable heroes of this era!

The referee blew the whistle and the penalty kick was about to begin.

The two captains walked towards the referee team, and the referee needed to confirm which side of the stands they would be standing on for the penalty kick.

The goals on both sides are close to different fans. If both captains want their own goal, the referee can only decide by tossing a coin.

Of course it is better to have fans closer to your side. They will not interfere with you, and will even spontaneously boo to disturb the opponent when the opponent takes a penalty kick.

However, temporary captain Irwin volunteered to take a penalty kick on the German side.

The referee looked at me as if he was kidding me.

Irwin shook hands with Ram and the referee team, then left calmly.

The fans were shocked. Should they say that Ivan was arrogant or confident? If England loses on penalties, the first person to take the blame will definitely be Alvin!

Hurry up and prepare the melon seeds and mineral water, and sit on the small stools!

Goalkeeper Neuer also had a calm expression on his face. When the camera was focused on him, it seemed as if he was giving off an aura of "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen your dad?"

#Xiaoxin: Without further ado, dad is about to take action.

The rules of the penalty shootout are very simple. Each team takes turns to kick five balls. The team with more goals after five rounds is the winner. Of course, there are also cases where one team scores too few goals and the shootout ends early.

When the number of goals scored by both teams is equal after five rounds of shooting, a one-round system will be adopted to determine the winner, and the team with more goals in the same round will win.

The first country to take a penalty kick was Germany.

The first one to step up to take the penalty was captain Lahm.

The captain was the first to go on the field, which was obviously to set an example for the young German players and stabilize the morale of the team.

Similarly, England's goalkeeper will also go up. Ivan walked towards the goal, and the English fans covered their hearts again, woooooo, Little Sweetie is up, come on Little Sweetie QAQ!

Luo Xiaoxiao in the stands bit her lower lip.

Ivan stood in front of the door, the camera gave him a close-up, and the message board was in the mood to make emoticons:

[Evan: Ah, what should I eat after the game today?]

Oh shit! Is Xiao Tiantian too calm? No pressure at all?

Of course, Alvin is not without pressure, he just has a big heart.

“Beep——”

Ram scored the penalty. He kicked to the left. Although Ivan didn't catch the ball, he judged the direction correctly!

Alvin stood up and left the goal. He had a rough idea in his mind that the probability of saving the next ball would be higher.

Next was England, and the first to step onto the penalty spot was Rooney.

Lu Xiaopang took the first penalty kick under tremendous pressure!

When "Heroes" was sung in the stadium just now, Rooney couldn't hold back his tears. His nose was red from crying. Now when he walked up, he had a tragic feeling of being ready to die.

What does his first penalty kick count for? Didn’t you see that our buddy Alvin didn’t take it seriously?

I am Wayne Rooney, the big brother of both Manchester United and the national team (? ), am I not as good as Alvin, who is a few years younger than me?

Ivan gave him a hug before he walked up, and Rooney was instantly filled with confidence.

German fans booed and disturbed Rooney.

The referee blew the whistle!

Neuer jumped on the spot to cheer himself up.

Rooney lived up to expectations. He withstood the pressure of the first penalty kick, deceived Neuer, and successfully kicked the ball in the opposite direction and sent the ball into the net.

After kicking the ball, Lu Xiaopang jumped up and turned around to hug his teammates!

The English fans are cheering loudly. Why are you just standing there? Just applaud me!

The second penalty for the German team was taken by Toni Kroos, who is also a very young player and he looked quite calm.

Kroos also scored the penalty. English fans felt a little disappointed but were not dissatisfied with Ivan. He was already very good, and he dived in the right direction this time and touched the ball.

Andy: "Ivan did a great job. He judged the direction correctly twice. The ball was almost touched!"

Ivan quickly reviewed the situation and realized that he jumped too early, causing him to miss the ball.

Commentators from various countries: "We are now in the second round. Germany and England have both scored their penalties. Now it will depend on how England's second player performs."

The second player to come up from England was Crouch. The young man was very nervous. Even though he was not the first and Rooney had also scored, he was still nervous.

Perhaps influenced by the boos, he missed the free throw.

England fans felt a pang in their hearts, and England players also looked solemn.

German fans are overjoyed, there is hope!

Crouch walked back crying, but his teammates did not blame him. Irving walked towards Crouch and gave him a hug.

Crouch heard Ivan whisper in his ear: "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

The commentator praised Irwin's calmness: "He was encouraging Crouch who missed the penalty! Irwin has the temperament of a captain. His every move shows that he is a natural captain!"

Irving was aware of the camera's gaze, and as he walked towards the goal, he was even in the mood to comfort the anxious England fans.

Countless fans were shot in the chest, and many female fans found it difficult to decide what to do. They originally loved Ronaldo the most, but now they are crazy about Ivan. They are wavering between the two excellent men!

#Only children make choices, adults want them all!

The third person to take the penalty was Germany's Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger was in a bad state of mind, so Löw arranged for him to take the third one, which is a position with relatively less pressure, not to mention that they were facing their own goal.

England's second player Crouch missed the penalty, which relieved the pressure on Germany's third player while also increasing the pressure on him.

If he scores the penalty, he will naturally be the hero, but if he misses the penalty, he will most likely be the sinner who wasted the opportunity.

The camera focused on his face, which was wrinkled and looked like he was about to cry.

#The baby is scared and feels sad.

Even though he was facing amateur goalkeeper Alvin... Damn the amateur goalkeeper, can an amateur goalkeeper be like Alvin? !

Ivan was standing 12 yards away from him, staring at him quietly, which made him feel a little uneasy for some reason.

So... unfortunately, he was also penalized.

Ivan didn't fall down. He dived in a certain direction, and halfway through he realized that the ball was high, so he didn't use much strength and quickly stabilized his center of gravity.

Richard exclaimed: "Did Ivan know that Schweinsteiger would miss the penalty? He just took a step in the right direction and stopped! Shocking sense of smell in front of the goal!"

The message board was filled with joy, this little sweetie is indeed awesome!

#小甜甜: I am a little green dragon, little green dragon, little green dragon. I have a dog nose, dog nose, dog nose…

The German fans who were celebrating just now suddenly froze in their faces. Schweinsteiger missed the penalty, which meant that they and England were back on the same starting line.

The suspense continues, and fans from both countries continue to hold their hands over their hearts. It’s really scary here, I want to go home so much!

……Pooh! No! We don’t want to!

The third round was still going on, and Lampard was the third penalty taker for England.

England fans were still rejoicing, and then they immediately stopped laughing. Lampard, who should have been more stable, kicked the ball a little high, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

England fans: “…”

Wow wow wow wow why is this happening? !

Neuer was also helpless. He clearly did nothing and his opponent missed two penalties in a row.

The German fans had just felt disappointed when they saw their opponents give up a bloody game. Their faces full of disbelief suddenly turned into ecstasy. Life's ups and downs are just like this.

After three rounds, England was one goal behind Germany. As the end of the fifth round was getting closer, most of the pressure fell on England goalkeeper Alvin.

When the camera was turned to him, he still had the same expression, without any change from beginning to end.

English fans are very satisfied. Seeing his expression of "Don't be afraid, I'm here", they feel a little comforted.

There's no way around it. This is the good thing about people who have been referees: they are better at pretending to be cool than ordinary people. No matter what they think in their hearts, at least they can fool people on the surface.

The fourth player for Germany is also a young player, Thomas Muller.

With a whistle, Alvin took the lead this time. Not only did he judge the direction correctly, he also saw the path of the ball accurately!

He fell to the ground easily and Muller watched him save the ball!

England fans cried and laughed at the same time, woooo sweetie, we love you! ! !

Andy shouted: "Praise Alvin! God! Alvin has done a great job! He saved Muller's ball! He saved England from falling behind again! He gave his teammates more options!"

The fourth player of England was Lennon. Ivan gave him great encouragement. However, Neuer's goalkeeping ability was not exaggerated. Neuer played bravely and blocked his ball as well!

Oh shit! England fans are crying again, why do you do this to us? ! !

What's wrong with you! Why does the whole team seem to be cursed, except for Rooney who missed all three free throws!

Are you worthy of the empire that Xiao Tiantian and Lu Xiaopang have built for you?

German fans cheered meaningfully. It was true that the English players missed the penalty, but their players were also in a confusing state.

Even the fans who were just watching the game couldn't stand it anymore, and everyone was praying that this torture would end soon.

After four rounds, England has one goal less than Germany, England has one goal and Germany has two.

Neutral fans said that they had never seen such a suffocating penalty shootout, where everyone scored and only missed one or two penalties. But you were not like that, you missed all your penalties and only scored one or two occasionally.

Löw and Capello had slightly stiff expressions, they didn't know what to say. The penalty shootout was not something the coach could control, they could only set the order and the rest was up to fate.

The fifth round is the most crucial round. Anyone who goes up to kick must be under tremendous pressure! If there is a goal, Germany advances and England is eliminated; if there is no goal, the game continues.

Whether England can have a chance of survival depends entirely on their goalkeeper Alvin!

And who did the German team send?

They sent out Klose, the lucky star of the World Cup! It is indeed God K!

K God's total number of World Cup goals has tied their legend Gerd Muller, and he is still chasing the alien Ronaldo's total number of World Cup goals!

Klose is a man born for the World Cup!

Klose is not young. Compared with other young players, he is a veteran. Can he score the penalty at this critical moment and put the fate of the German team in his own hands?

The referee blew the whistle, Klose started running, he shot at the goal, but the ball was blocked by Ivan! How many times have the two sides returned to the starting line? The fans don’t remember anymore!

"Ivan succeeded! He is the salvation of all England! He is amazing, really amazing! He saved England again!!!"

Klose left reluctantly. In front of him were the young players who were about to collapse. Behind him was Irwin who got up and calmly handed the ball to the staff.

Fate is like a ruthless hand, playing with its believers at will.

Sometimes, people’s failure is not even due to their own lack of strength.

Using penalty kicks to decide life and death for both sides is cruel and unfair in itself.

Round 5, England.

The person who goes up at this time must be the most stable person in the team. The fate of the whole team depends on him. If he scores, their suspense of victory or defeat will continue. If he doesn't score, England will be eliminated by Germany, stop in the semi-finals, and miss the World Cup final.

In the stands, the little English fan with the English flag painted on his face was crying loudly, and the angelic smile on his innocent little face disappeared. No matter how their parents tried to comfort them, it wasn't enough, so they simply gave up and the whole family cried.

"Who will be the fifth one to go up?" Andy asked the question on all fans' minds.

The England team did not move, but the people in front of the goal moved. After Alvin got up from the ground, he did not regret the ball for too long, and he walked back.

The fans were surprised to find that Irwin returned to the position shoulder to shoulder with his own players, he took off his gloves, his teammates rushed over, and each of them took turns to give him a quick kiss on the face... Then, he walked to the penalty spot!

Ivan is the fifth person to take the penalty kick! He is the last man in the fifth round!

He took on double, no! Triple the pressure! The eyes of several players who missed the penalty kicks were red again. They felt especially sorry for the team and especially sorry for Alvin. However, Alvin, who was the youngest in the team, was calmer than anyone else!

He would even take the initiative to comfort his teammates, telling them not to give up and that they still had a chance!

He has saved England countless times in this game and in this World Cup. How many miracles has he created for world football? Fans found themselves unable to remember anymore!

Is he going to save England once again? Is he going to shoulder all of England's hopes of advancement alone?

He walked towards the penalty spot, with the camera always pointed at him, first capturing his back, his straight spine, his steady steps, every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart.

The camera came to his front, he felt it, he looked up, and there was suddenly a ripple on his expressionless face, he waved at the camera, smiled, and revealed two dimples.

That was a familiar smile, and that was the first impression that Ivan left on people when he first debuted in Chelsea.

His smile was sincere and beautiful, as if it condensed all the most wonderful scenery in the world. It was the crystal clear dewdrops on the tips of young leaves in the cold morning, and the first ray of light shining from the gray and hazy sky.

When he smiles at you like this, you can forget all your worries. In this noisy court, you can actually think of the peaceful days.

Unknowingly, several years passed and the once immature boy became mature and his thin shoulders became broad. Once upon a time, he was a young boy who would hug Mourinho with a dependent look, but now he wears the captain's armband that carries the responsibility of the entire England team.

As time goes by, children grow from naive to sensible, teenagers grow from immature to mature, people change, everything changes, the only thing that remains unchanged is his sincere and beautiful smile.

That is the innocence that belongs only to Ivan, and that is the pure land that English fans are willing to protect forever in their hearts.

In front of the TV, the madman who was watching this scene reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes.

His wife sat with him, and together they held their two still ignorant children, silently watching the most outstanding young man in today's English football, no, in the world's football.

He held the ball, bent down to kiss it, then leaned over and placed the ball on the grass.

He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding his thoughts, and when he raised his eyes, there was only determination and fearlessness in his azure blue eyes.

The Portuguese people looking at the big screen had gleams in their eyes.

This is the man he loves! This is the man that fans all over the world can’t help but love!

No matter what the outcome is, what reason do you have to blame him? What reason do you have not to love him?

"Evan - Alvan runs! Kicks the ball! Shoots! The ball goes in!! Oh my God! A beautiful penalty kick!! Praise Alvan!! Praise God!!!!" The English commentators were at a loss for words. They didn't know what to say. They could no longer describe in words the emotion and shock that Alvan brought to them.

Faced with tremendous pressure, Ivan kicked the most difficult, most heart-testing and also the most freehand spoon penalty!

Neuer fell to the ground. He had never expected that Ivan would kick him casually, which shocked everyone!

England fans are going wild! Even though they missed all three free throws, even though the heart-pounding and cruel trial continued! But they are no longer afraid!

This is the encouraging effect of the penalty kick on the morale of the team!

The fact that someone can kick a ball like this is telling everyone that we don’t have to be afraid! We are strong and not afraid!

My teammates, the fans, all the dear people in England who love me! You don't have to worry or be nervous, just relax and play to your best. No matter what the result is, I will stand behind you!

England fans cried and laughed, laughed and cried, so what if they were eliminated in the end? They are satisfied! There is no need for Alvin to say or do anything else. He has already proved England's unyielding spirit. He has already proved that he is the best player in this year's World Cup!

As long as we have faith in our hearts, we will never be defeated by difficulties!

After five rounds, the penalty shootout entered a more brutal, psychologically challenging round of elimination!

After kicking the ball, Alvin put on his gloves again and walked to the goal.

The German players were as quiet as chickens. They could not describe their feelings in words.

They had been leading at one point, but now facing the tenacious English players, they felt a trace of insurmountable fatigue in their hearts.

In the sixth round, those who did not take the penalty kick will have to stand up.

The player who stepped up for the German team was Ozil.

The young wife stepped forward with red eyes. His shot was of high quality, but was intercepted by Ivan.

The German looked at the young England captain in front of the goal, and his eyes changed qualitatively, as if he was not looking at a person, but a god.

The commentators were generous in their praise: "There is no doubt that Ivan has become famous in one battle! After this game, if England can advance, Ivan will definitely go one step further and become a god in one battle!"

What kind of goalkeeper can do what Alvin did, saving penalties one after another and still remaining calm?

Such a goalkeeper has a name - goalkeeper!

The player who went up for England was Terry.

The German team missed the penalty and their fate was entirely in the hands of their opponents.

Terry was not at peace in his heart. In the summer of 2008, in the Champions League final between Chelsea and Manchester United, it was his missed penalty kick that brought Manchester United, which had been in despair due to Ronaldo's missed penalty, back to life and eventually won the St. Bledsoe Cup.

It was that Champions League final, the one that Irwin missed due to a car accident. That was also the beginning of his absence from football events as a player.

Irving was unable to appear in the final.

In the rainy night in Moscow, there were the tears of young Cristiano Ronaldo, the crying of John Terry, the anger of Michael Ballack, but there was no Alvin.

Everything seems to be a cycle, just like the hands of a clock always return to the starting point. Today, Alvin appeared, he returned to the green field, he stood by his side, and fought side by side with himself and England.

The whistle sounded, Terry took a deep breath and started running slowly.

The ball went off with a sound of breaking through the air, carrying with it the hopes of the entire England team.

"Terry kicked the ball - shot!!! The ball went in!!! The ball went in!! After six rounds of agonizing penalty shootouts, England was reborn in adversity and successfully eliminated the powerful Germany! They fought with 10 players and persevered to the end, writing a miracle in the history of English football!!!"

The shaking of the net announced England's advancement and Germany's sad departure.

"No regrets! No regrets! This is England, this is the Three Lions! This is Terry! This is Ivan! These are our outstanding boys! Thank you to each and every one of them, each of them is a hero!"

"Congratulations England! Got a ticket to Johannesburg! Praise God! Praise Her Majesty!!"

The entire England team hugged each other, and all members of the coaching team rushed into the stadium. At this moment, they were all one another, they were each other's closest comrades, and they shared the joy of victory together!

The author has something to say: Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?

By the way, I am Gugugugugugugu...

Thanks to the cute Shangyue for the deep-water torpedo! ! ! My first deep water torpedo! ! ! Love you muah! ! ! !
