Before today, playing for the national team for England players actually felt more pressure than fun.
They are certainly fighting for honor, but years of failure in national team competitions have made English fans and media lose patience with them.
The aggressiveness from the outside world and the absolute dictatorship of coach Capello made them feel breathless.
But after today, that pressure is gone.
They achieved an almost impossible victory, what else do they have to fear?
Alvin became famous in this game! No, it should be said that he was already famous before!
Praise our invincible teammate Alvin! right! Knock him down and pile him up like a human mountain!
The camera sticks greedily to this group of players. At this moment, its eyes will only stay on the winner for a long time.
Thousands of miles away in England, where there are intervals between broadcasts, bars of all sizes, open-air squares... wherever there is a TV, there are crowds of people.
At this moment, people were silent in unison, looking at the big screen expectantly, watching their players walk to the penalty spot without blinking.
Until - the last goal from an English player, Terry, came.
At this moment, there is no quiet corner in England.
The cheers could be heard on every street corner. Even the dog in the yard pricked up its ears and looked around. It seemed to know that today was an unusual day.
Ahhhhh! People cheered wildly, they jumped up, and hugged everyone around them, regardless of whether they knew them or not!
Football is coming home! ! !
God save the Queen! God bless Great Britain! God bless the Three Lions!
At this moment, Alvin's fans are happy, and England's fans are happy! !
At this moment, no one around the world does not know that legendary name!
Is there anyone who can enter the Premier League at the age of 19 and win the Champions League without losing a game?
Is there anyone who can face major changes calmly and continue to be active in front of fans in another way?
Is there anyone who can play football again two years after retiring and directly step into the World Cup battlefield?
Is there anyone who can remain calm when facing a loss in a game, and stand up when the team's life and death are at stake?
Is there anyone who can score two lob shots in the first half and score multiple goals in every game?
I am fascinated by his healing and warm smile when he is wearing the blue jersey; I am fascinated by his strength of being able to talk and laugh even when he is lying motionless in the hospital; I am fascinated by his calmness when he is wearing the black referee uniform that represents fairness, as if he would not be moved by a mountain collapse; I am fascinated by his calmness in the face of injustice and temptation, and his ability to always stick to his principles in the chaos and interference.
It’s not that he doesn’t feel pain, it’s not that he doesn’t feel sad, but he chooses to face it with a smile.
We love his style of respecting his opponents, we can't forget his figure standing alone in front of the goal, we feel sorry for his softness that doesn't shed tears easily, and we will always remember his calmness that makes people feel at ease when he wears the captain's armband.
The two English princes in the stands were so excited that they could hardly maintain their appearances. They were discussing something excitedly, and it seemed that they had already thought about what clothes they would wear and what speeches they would give on the day their team won the championship.
Zhou Wen kept wiping her tears. Ms. DeWitt stared at her son's unbridled smile on the big screen and subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen.
Italian star Leo Bova, who came to watch the game with his wife and children, was also standing in the jubilant crowd, clapping with a smile on his face.
As for Luo Xiaoxiao...he was gone.
On the court.
The English players, who had finally finished celebrating, were about to leave the field when they ran into a group of young German guys who had just finished crying and were lying on the grass.
Ah, what can I say?
To be honest, we are all the same, no one is worse than the other, why don't we exchange jerseys and get to know each other?
So the English and German players cried(?) and exchanged jerseys... The English players were happy and the German players were sad.
On the green grass, a group of players shook hands and left the field with their bare chests, which was quite spectacular.
When Muller ran over to find Ivan to exchange jerseys, he found Neuer already standing there.
Erwa, who had just finished crying, said: "..."
Looking at Ivan, Xiao Xin's eyes were full of the door to a new world: "..."
They looked at each other and confirmed with their eyes that they were not the type to give in.
But Erwa is a very sensible boy. He can get along with anyone. Seeing Xiaoxin asking Ivan for a hug, he didn't even ask for a jersey, but just put his arm around Ivan's shoulders.
Then Alvin understood and got used to it. He had to bring several sets of jerseys to a game.
#Don't worry, we have them all.
When they were halfway there, their young wife Ozil followed them. She saw that Irvin was still wearing his jersey and thought that Irvin had not yet exchanged jerseys with anyone else.
...So everyone had to make an appointment to meet at the locker room door.
The fan biting the handkerchief and waiting for Xiao Tiantian to take off her clothes: "..."
#小甜甜too popular is not good QAQ
The four of them walked towards the player tunnel, with Lu Xiaopang and the others walking in front, just as the coaching team were packing up there.
Beckham and Ballack, who had to miss this World Cup due to injury, also stood in the player tunnel. They were dressed in formal suits, waiting to encourage the boys who they thought had done well enough.
Germany coach Loew was also there, watching his players walk up, and the message board was in a panic:
"I just saw Love pick his nose!"
“He looks like he’s going to shake our players’ hands!”
"He picks his nose with his right hand!"
"This is a right hand handshake!"
"Shit, I can't dodge it. Who will be the first to get hit?!"
“…”
Seeing Luke Shaw coming over first, Löw took the initiative to extend his hand. Luke Shaw was unaware and shook hands with him. He thought that this coach was a nice person.
Message board: "..."
#Let’s see who the second lucky person is?
#Fuck! Still our England players!
Terry followed Rooney and also shook hands with Love.
“…”
As Alvin was walking, he found that the corner of his clothes was tugged.
He turned around and it was Ozil.
Big Eyes Meng grabbed him and took him a few steps to the left.
Ivan didn't understand why, but Muller and Neuer beside him reacted quickly. They immediately understood why their teammates did this, and worked together to take Ivan to avoid this straight line.
Message Board:
"Fortunately, our little sweetie didn't get hit?"
"Wait! Xiao Tiantian is walking with three German players!"
"I seem to understand something..."
"Me too."
“Hahaha, did you see Ozil who quickly dodged? Muller and the others seemed to have reacted as well. Thanks to them for leading Alvin away from the clutches!”
"Wow, our little Sweetie is awesome. Even his opponents have been conquered by him."
Ivan came to the player tunnel and shook hands and hugged the celebrities who had been waiting for them on both sides for a long time.
After Barak hugged his three little beets, he opened his arms to Ivan.
Ivan had the smile he missed on his face and hugged him tightly.
The people around watched this scene with smiles, and Muller even took the lead in applauding. Everyone knew that Irving and Ballack were old friends who had fought side by side at Chelsea.
Former Germany captain Ballack knew his World Cup journey was over and watched his juniors come through, and even without him, the boys performed very well.
Loew's lineup doesn't need him anymore.
But he didn't expect that one day he would see Alvin play football again. This was definitely a pleasant surprise.
"Good luck in the final. I'll be there to watch it." Ballack patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Yes," Ivan responded, "I will try my best."
The young German players surrounded them. Muller had the most ideas. When he heard what captain Ballack said, he immediately started to make a noise: "Captain, take us with you to the final!"
Although they were eliminated in the semi-finals, their World Cup journey is not over yet. They still have a match to fight for third place, their opponent is the Netherlands, who threatened before the game that whoever loses will go to Port Elizabeth.
Coincidentally, their game was played the day before the World Cup. There’s only one day left, why rush? Let’s go to the finals together to watch the game the next day!
The players' request was not excessive, and the German coaching staff present soon nodded in agreement.
#Both parties reached a consensus on this matter and will go to cheer for Alvin in the finals.
When Fat Lu found out about this later, he expressed disbelief. When did they become so popular in England?
First it was Italy, the United States, Portugal, and then Germany. It seems that except for Argentina, these were the teams they defeated, but we still support them from the bottom of our hearts?
In response, Lampard said he was too young and didn't know that there was Alvin in the family. Is that like a god?
Everyone loves God, isn’t there anything wrong with that?
Rooney nodded in confusion, as if that was correct.
When Ivan and his teammates walked out of the locker room, they met four people they didn't expect.
——is the referee of this game and his three assistant referees.
Seeing the English players coming out, the referee standing in the front said: "Hello, I am the referee of this game, I am here to apologize to you."
The England players looked at him, and he and the assistant referees bowed and said sincerely, "We just watched the replay of the game. It was the misjudged ball. Mr. Lampard's ball should have gone in. It was our mistake. We didn't see it. I'm really sorry."
Irwin turned around and saw Lampard in the crowd watching the excitement. He said to the referee: "We know you didn't mean it. I understand. Sometimes conditions are limited and cannot be controlled by human power. But it's not us you have to apologize to. He is here."
Lampard walked away from his teammates. He had let it go. After all, they won, right? "If we lost, I probably wouldn't forgive you, but we won. It's really embarrassing."
His tone was light and humorous. Everyone laughed, including the referee. He shook hands with everyone again, feeling relieved to be understood.
The next day, as expected, the news was everywhere about England's awesomeness.
The styles of newspapers in various countries are as follows:
How awesome is Alvin? He is so awesome that he can cover England without batting an eyelid!
[Ivan: England can do whatever they want, but if they are eliminated, I lose. 】
They all flew away? Do you know why? !
[The Three Lions missed three penalties? All because I didn’t have any physical contact with the English sweetheart! 】
Regarding the second headline, the media gave a unique explanation:
Why did England miss all three penalties, with only Rooney, Irvine and Terry scoring?
Comparing the situation of the game at that time, Rooney hugged Ivan before taking the penalty kick! Terry and all his teammates took turns kissing Ivan before the fifth round! So he scored in the sixth round!
Crouch and Irving hugged too late! This young man kicked the ball away before hugging Ivan!
The fans were speechless about this fallacy, but after comparison, they were surprised to find that it seemed to be true...
Oh shit! Koi sweetie! We also want to kiss, hug and lift each other up high!
Some media said that it is enough to whistle the referee to death. Do you dare to say that he is not the best referee at playing football and the most professional whistle blower among the players? !
[The best referee in history: take off the whistle and play in the World Cup final]
[Three penalties blocked in a row! The English star became a god in one battle! 】
There is also a mocking version:
[A football star worth tens of millions is not as good as a referee worth zero]
[You are worse at playing football than a referee]
Some players were shot in the knee.
The shadow of "you are not as good as a referee at playing football" is probably something you can never get over.
In addition, a local newspaper in England broke the news:
[The Three Lions enter the World Cup final again after 44 years, and the Queen of England may go to South Africa to cheer in person]
All European countries were shocked. It is really awesome that England entered the World Cup! They finally made it to the finals and they really deserve congratulations!
However, even the 82-year-old Queen of England was alarmed? !
Wow! They just want to ask, those English players who reached the final holding on to the sweet thighs of the people of the world, are you happy? !
