The boss is going to take a free kick! Joe Hart was so excited that he ran to the center circle in order to see more clearly.
The England coaching team looked at him. What does this brat want to do?
The camera turned over, and the commentator was still teasing England's relaxed attitude: "Look at this boy Joe Hart, it seems that he has enough confidence in their captain."
Joe Hart is looking forward to it, hmm, sleepy ball, sleepy ball! Let other goalkeepers feel the power of our boss's sleepy ball! It’s the finals now, big guy, it’s time for you to show off!
#Good things should be shared by everyone. Joe Hart said that we are all goalkeepers and we should share the fear together.
Cassie: “…”
He said that he had felt it before, and he knew very well the power of Ivan's free kicks, and he didn't want to feel it a second time in his life!
He kept shouting to his teammates, asking them to move and not stand there in the way. He wanted to see clearly Ivan's shooting line!
Direct free kick! After hearing about Ivan's amazing goal rate of 7 out of 10 free kicks, the Spanish players said, "Can they still defend against other English players?" Doesn't seem necessary? Igor, how about we run over and block your goal?
They really wanted to do that, but the referee immediately stopped them. This is not a goalkeeper foul, there is no such thing as a free kick in front of the goal!
Ramos held onto Pique and muttered, "We should run when we hear the whistle. Let's help Igor block the goal. I think this is safer."
The camera was just right for them, and the message board was particularly interesting.
#We just want to know how Ramos and Pique can perfectly switch roles between the club and the national team?
#Actually, Shuishui and Pique are good friends~
Pique touched his chin and felt that his teammates were right. They immediately told other teammates and everyone reached a consensus.
England players: “…”
Bully them for not understanding Spanish?
They looked at each other and nodded. No matter what the other side was saying, our mission was very clear!
As for what the mission is? You will know soon!
Ivan stood in front of the ball. This time Lampard did not stand with him. Lampard went to join the human wall. The England players had a little secret among each other. They needed to carry out a task collectively.
In fact, it is not necessary. Who doesn’t know that the one who took the free throw will definitely be Ivan?
The fans at the scene stood up nervously. The Spanish fans even forgot to boo their opponents. For a moment, there was a moment of silence at the Soccer City Stadium.
The unknown is what makes people scared. Since his comeback, Irving has never performed his sleepy ball in any official competition. Everyone only knows that he is good at it, but no one has ever seen it.
The more they cared, the more desperate they became. Spain was one goal behind, and the cruel reality lay before the Spanish fans: If Ivan had scored this goal, the Spanish team would basically have said goodbye to the Hercules Cup that was so close at hand.
The fans were anxious. To them, whether Ivan's free kick would go in was almost like Schrödinger's cat.
...Schrödinger's sleepy ball? !
The referee thought something had happened. He looked around and thought that the fans at the scene were too nervous.
However, such silence made people feel more stressed, and the atmosphere on the court became increasingly stagnant.
Luo Xiaoxiao in the stands also stood up along with the people around him. If everyone else stood up, he would not be seen anymore.
The Portuguese took a breath, and stood up a little slowly. He bit his lip, hid his eyes under the brim of his hat, and looked at the figure in the distance who was wearing pure white.
Will Ivan score this goal? It's only been a short time, is he going to score again?
Luo Xiaoxiao was conflicted. He both wanted Alvin to score a goal and didn't want Alvin to score a goal.
...If Alvin doesn't score a goal, he's unhappy mentally. If he scores...it's his body that's unhappy.
Cassie on the field swallowed and stared straight at Ivan and the ball at his feet.
#Come on! I'm not afraid!
“Beep——”
The referee's whistle foreshadows the huge challenge that is about to come.
The Spanish players immediately wanted to run inside! The moment they saw Alvin kick the ball, they basically knew that he was definitely aiming at the goal!
However, halfway through the run they became confused. What was going on? Why can’t you run? !
They felt someone holding them back—
It's those England players! Instead of thinking about jumping up to grab the first point, they actually stopped them from going to the small penalty area to "rescue"!
After wasting half a second, it was too late for them to rush forward. They could only watch their reliable captain Casillas stretch his body hard to reach the ball that suddenly changed direction half a meter in front of the goal!
What can I do? I can only defend with my mind!
Igor! Come on! ! !
The commentators from various countries' tongues were like springs on, and along with the huge noise they made out of disbelief, the net moved!
The ball bounces hard deep in the goal! Spanish goalkeeper Casillas fell to the ground in pain!
As the camera swept past him, his expression looked more like he was venting his anger after saying "as expected".
The German kids in the stands gasped! Should we thank big brother Klose for not giving Alvin the chance to use the sleepy ball against them? If he had just played as a striker in the last game, there would be no need for a penalty!
However, the various expressions of the celebrities were soon drowned out by the cheering crowd. The moment the ball entered the net, the entire Football City Stadium was like a frying pan with a drop of water in it, and the English fans were bursting with joy!
2-0 ahhh! Only 15 minutes had passed since the last goal, and Alvin scored again!
Praise our little sweetie and love you ahhh!
Andy: "Our guys didn't give Spain any chance to control the ball! Smart tactics, excellent players! In the 19th minute of the game, we were two goals ahead of Spain! Ivan's World Cup goal tally has increased to 9! This year's Golden Boot Award will definitely be his, no doubt about it!"
Chinese commentator: "Is this really the World Cup final? Oh my god! Ivan is so amazing! He scored both goals by himself, without relying on any teammates! This is truly one man versus eleven!"
Chinese fans spontaneously added their commentary: Even if he leads the Chinese national football team, maybe he can lead them to the semi-finals of the World Cup!
What are the changing tactics and advantages of strong teams in front of him? All he needs to do is score a goal! This seemed to be no difficulty for him!
The camera turned to the Spanish coach Bosque and the English coach Capello at the right time. Both of them had no expression on their faces, but the meaning was completely different!
Message Board:
"Bosque: Damn, it's so frustrating for a team to lose to one person!"
"Capello: Why do I have to study tactics so hard before the game?!"
After scoring the goal, Alvin ran all the way, making it impossible for his teammates who wanted to chase him to form a human mountain to catch up with him!
Alvin ran to the corner area again, facing the same direction as the previous goal and making a two gesture!
The stands facing him were all going crazy. Ahhh, the male god told us that this was his second goal! Is he interacting with us? Is he saying he loves us? ! Oh my god! Sweetie, we love you too!
The Portuguese man sitting in this direction had an extremely complicated expression on his face. His position was not close to Alvin, but he always felt that Alvin seemed to be standing in front of him. The smile and ridicule in the other's eyes could penetrate the cheering crowd and hit his heart directly!
His cheeks flushed suspiciously, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the smile on Ivan's face deepened.
How could he see his expression from such a distance! It must be an illusion! Luo Xiaoxiao felt that the feeling of a foreign body somewhere was becoming more and more obvious. It was hard to describe the feeling. It was not discomfort, but...
Just two! I don't believe he can continue to score goals! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
When the English players over there saw that they couldn't catch up with their captain, they simply celebrated on the spot. The camera was immediately attracted by their exciting celebration actions.
Joe Hart ran over again. He came over from the center circle very quickly. There were exactly ten people. They were squatting together in groups of four. The Chinese fans thought they were playing mahjong, but in fact, they were not. They stretched out their hands and seemed to be turning something. The other two people stood beside them and pretended to hand something to the four people on the ground.
No one understood at first, until Joe Hart handed something over, Rooney took it, sprinkled it on the string in his hand, then picked up the thing in his hand and smelled it, looking very fragrant, the fans suddenly realized -
This looks like a barbecue? Rooney and the others were turning the barbecue tools, and the people standing were handing them the seasoning!
What to grill? What does this action mean?
The quick-thinking fans realized that this was grilled octopus?
That’s right! Before the game, didn’t Germany’s octopus Paul predict that Spain would be the champion? !
Ivan also said you can grill that octopus after the game!
Hahaha, so prosperous and in a trance! The fans laughed and cried. How bad was England's celebration? It was a slap in the face!
Seeing Alvin coming, Joe Hart took the lead in handing the barbecue to Alvin, saying, "Boss, you taste it first!"
The Spanish people watched them celebrate with a stern look on their faces.
Her Majesty the Queen in the box smiled and once again took the initiative to extend her hand to the King of Spain, whose smile was stiff.
There was no point in panicking. The King of Spain: “…”
The Spanish commentator's voice trembled: "We need a hero to stand up..."
They gave their shots to Villa and Torres, hoping they could bring changes to the team.
A two-goal lead could not completely ensure England's safety, and Ivin asked Joe Hart to go back to goal quickly.
Facts have proved that Capello saw things more clearly. He had emphasized early on to the England players, especially captain Irwin, that although they could celebrate, the lineup must not be messed up and they must not relax.
England tightened their defense while Spain began to find their own rhythm. Their midfield worked hard and when the game reached 35 minutes, they successfully created the most threatening attack.
Villa fell in the penalty area!
The referee awarded the penalty without hesitation. If an English player had fallen in the penalty area, he might have considered it, but since Spain were behind, it was okay to slightly favor the weaker team.
Spanish fans instantly saw hope. The game was far from over and they still had many chances!
Spain's experience with penalties in this World Cup has not been smooth. First, Villa missed the penalty kick when facing the opportunity of a hat trick, and then Alonso was tricked by his teammates who rushed into the penalty area early. The penalty kick that was originally scored was retaken, but as a result, his mentality was affected and he missed the penalty.
This penalty kick is so important to them, it is almost a life-saving goal!
The Bullfighters were under a lot of pressure, but they finally decided... whoever made it should take the penalty.
Calabash Brothers once again stood on the penalty spot.
He was able to break through the siege and save the team in the midst of thousands of enemies. Like Ivan, he almost always led the team to the next round with his own goals. However, he missed the penalty kick, which made people sigh. Otherwise, Alvin wouldn't be sitting firmly at the top of the scorer list.
Young goalkeeper Joe Hart had to face the test of world-class shooters right from the start, and he said, he, he, he, he, he, he won’t be afraid!
As the referee blew the whistle, Villa successfully scored the penalty kick despite the huge pressure!
After scoring the goal, Villa finally vented his anger about missing the penalty kick. He roared loudly and hugged his teammates!
Spanish fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief! Pulling back a goal means they have a greater chance of winning the championship!
Richard: "Oh, Spain scored this goal, but it doesn't matter, we are still leading."
Irwin patted Joe Hart on the shoulder and he quickly ran back to the center circle to kick the ball.
Andy: "With the unity of our players, we will definitely maintain this advantage until the midfield!"
Everyone thinks that England is united, and in fact it is almost true. Compared with the Netherlands, which is famous for the "three sticks" of Robben, Sneijder and Van Persie, England is united enough. At least they will not fight among themselves.
Of course, unity is not absolute, for example, Ashley Cole, a good defender in the England team.
Ashley Cole and Ivan have had a feud. He received a red card two years ago because of Ivan's intervention, so he always has a grudge against Ivan.
But Ivan seemed to have forgotten what happened between them, and the two people in the team would just nod to each other when they met.
Under Capello's absolute dominance, no one dared to play any tricks, and England relied on Ivan to advance, so some people were polite on the surface even if they had some ideas in their minds, so England moved forward in harmony all the way.
In today's game, Upson was absent due to a muscle strain. Ashley Cole not only had to be responsible for his own defense but also had to take care of the middle as well, so he knocked down Villa in a hurry just now.
It would be fine if England wins the game today, but if they lose he will definitely be the one to blame. If I think about it this way, if we win it’s all thanks to Ivan, and if we lose it’s all his fault as the defender. Why? Who hasn't tried their best?
Being absent-minded can easily lead to mistakes. Ashley Cole accidentally followed in Green's footsteps. He missed a man in the backcourt defense, allowing Spain to create a chance to kill again.
You can never let your guard down just because you are leading, especially when facing the Spanish team with a golden lineup!
Xavi passed the ball diagonally to Iniesta in the midfield before Ivan arrived. The latter saw the opportunity and kicked the ball to Villa on the right. Villa received the pass, faced with the oncoming Ashley Cole, faked a pass and shot, and sent the ball into the goal in a similar way to Ivan!
Joe Hart is still a young goalkeeper with insufficient experience. He never expected that Villa would suddenly shoot from such a long distance. By the time he reacted, it was too late. The ball hit the far post and bounced into the net!
#See Hartmon kick the ball...and it goes in!
The smiles on the English players' faces froze. They could not have imagined that in just 20 minutes, they would be equalized by their opponents after leading by two goals!
The score was tied, and the fans who scored first and those who scored later had completely different feelings. The Spanish fans were as happy as if they had already won the World Cup, while those who looked unhappy as if they had eaten a fly became English fans.
Villa ran to the corner area with a big laugh, took a step forward, stretched one hand proudly from in front of him to his side, and once again made his classic perfect farewell celebration pose!
The King of Spain suppressed the urge to jump up. He smiled and looked at the Queen of England, who was still smiling without any emotion. He wanted to extend his hand but remembered that it was against the rules. He had to wait for the Queen of England to take the initiative to shake hands with him.
Although the Spanish players did not pay tribute to him as thoughtfully as the English players, they were also very happy!
The Spanish commentator praised their players loudly: "At the end of the first half, our hero stood up, and it was still the number one killer Villa! He scored twice to equalize the score for us, and used a similar scoring method to their No. 29 to tell England not to be too proud, because it is still unknown who will have the last laugh!"
"This is the best Villa, this is the best Spain!"
The English were slightly panicked, and this was reflected in the fact that their cameras kept focusing on their captain. Unlike Rooney and the others who had serious expressions, Ivan... oh, Xiao Tiantian had no expression again!
The fans felt relieved when looking at his face. They didn’t know since when the image of Irvin with no expression had been deeply rooted in people’s minds… When would Irvin have no expression? When he was about to score, when he was refereeing, when he was unhappy!
Of course, apart from laughing and showing no expression, Ivan had no other reaction...
However, no matter which one it is, at least it shows that our little Sweetie will not sit and wait for death!
After the half-time break, England will definitely adjust themselves!
In the locker room, Capello asked everyone to strengthen the offense and not to shrink too much on defense. This was definitely necessary. At the end of the first half, the team shrank back but still conceded a goal due to players' mistakes. This shows the importance of offense.
Spain next door is feeling comfortable now. They are not afraid of the opponent's attack. They just hope that the opponent will not defend and retreat, otherwise it will be too difficult to score a goal.
At the beginning of the second half, as the Spaniards expected, the English no longer tried to defend. So in the first 10 minutes of the second half, both sides scored.
Rooney received the ball from Ivan but still failed to score. Casillas tried his best and he was not called a goalkeeper for nothing, as he confiscated several shots from English players.
The same thing happened to Spain, whose Fu Jian Torres wasted two chances when he got the ball - not because Joe Hart played well.
It can be seen that his condition has declined significantly this season and injuries have affected him. However, in the words of Bosque, although Torres cannot score goals, he is useful on the court.
This sentence is quite meaningful. It is generally speculated that because Torres scored in the final in 2008 to help Spain win the championship, Bosque let him start in this World Cup to reassure the hearts of Spanish fans.
Luo Xiaoxiao in the stands looked more anxious than the English, and his worried expression was so obvious that the camera could detect him. Everyone also expressed their admiration for his good relationship with Alvin. It turns out that awesome people like to be friends with each other.
Ivan was in the midfield, he didn't find any chance to get forward, so he could only try his best to pass the ball. In the second half, the champion coach Bosque made some fine adjustments to the Spanish midfield, frequently creating trouble for Ivan, making him uncomfortable whether he was dribbling or stealing the ball.
The Spanish midfield was dominated by Barcelona players, who cooperated skillfully. English fans watched with heartache as they passed the ball back and forth without rushing to pass it forward, as if they were teasing Alvin.
Even a fool could see that they wanted to drain Ivan's energy!
Does Alvin have any weaknesses? After studying it, the coaches were able to find out that he had been trying not to run in these games. It was obvious that he was conserving his energy, which showed that not playing football for two years had an impact on his physical condition!
Spain gradually became dissatisfied with creating minor troubles for Ivan. Time passed by minute by minute. England was anxious, and so were they. No one wanted to go into overtime for a game that could be resolved in 90 minutes.
They deliberately chose to commit a tactical foul in the back midfield where it is less likely to get a yellow card. Ivan might not be tackled, but no one could bear it if this continued.
"Ivan has the ball! Let's see how this attack goes... oh, it's those Spanish guys again!"
Alonso kicked out his foot without hesitation. It didn't matter if the interference was unsuccessful, Ramos made a tackle! Shui Ye always finds a way to take Ivan with him!
The English commentators became excited when they saw Ivan get the ball. However, after seeing Ivan being besieged by at least two opponents many times, they became angry!
"The referee's whistle was too conservative. If Ivan could have avoided it himself, could he just pretend he didn't see it? Even the best players can't stand being violated like this!"
Capello couldn't hold back his expression. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee many times, but as everyone knows, it was basically useless.
He then prepared to replace someone, at least to share the firepower concentrated on Ivan.
Spanish fans enjoy looking forward to their players stealing the ball from Ivan. How awesome would it be if they could steal the ball from No. 29?
After 5 minutes of stalemate, Spain finally got what they wanted. Xavi and Ramos forced Ivan to the sidelines. Pique came to support his teammates and tackled the ball that Ivan was guarding!
There was no way Alvin could protect this ball. He staggered, turned around and looked at his teammates rushing back to help, then glanced at Joe Hart's position slightly in front of him. He had a bad feeling in his heart, and without even caring about his aching calf, he rushed back!
Spain's attack was very fast, and the fans at the scene stood up again nervously. They stared at the bullfighters dribbling the ball, feeling either expectant or nervous.
England seemed a little slow in returning to defense in this counterattack. Pedro received a pass from Xavi and faced the England center back who was already in position. He passed the ball across the penalty area to Villa. During this adjustment time, more England players arrived, including Ivan!
Joe Hart stood nervously in front of the goal. Facing Villa's slightly off-angle shot which was interfered by Terry, he gritted his teeth and saved the first shot!
The ball was close and powerful, Joe Hart was not sure he could hold it, so he had to hammer it out!
"This ball is dangerous! Joe Hart made a great save!...Oh God, the ball fell in this position and the nearest defender is two steps away...Pedro! Pedro is coming up--"
"Stop him! Is there anyone? Stop him!"
England fans closed their eyes and dared not watch anymore!
The Spanish players filled in the position quickly, and Pedro sped up as much as he could, touching the ball before the defender defending him, and then kicked it again!
Joe Hart, who was lying on the ground, felt his heart aching. He tried to crawl to rescue the player, but how could he be as fast as Pedro?
It’s over, they’re going to be defeated!
Joe Hart was about to cry. He was leading by two goals but was chased by three goals in a row. He would be too embarrassed to live if he told others about it!
The England defenders all had the same idea as him, it was too late for them, Pedro's goal was an empty goal!
Everyone was in despair, but the commentator's voice suddenly rose an octave and rang out:
"No, no, no! There's still hope! Our players have arrived! This ball, this ball! A back hook to clear the ball! Success!!! Oh oh oh! Thank God, who is he? Ivan! It's Ivan who's here!"
Ahhhh! ! !
At the critical moment, Ivan arrived. In the last half second before Pedro's shot reached the goal line, his calf suddenly exerted force, and his slender right leg hooked upward with infinite creativity -
He hooked the ball and it just happened to touch the ball!
Pedro had raised his hands to celebrate, but the sudden figure stunned him!
Joe Hart just got up at this time, turned around and saw the ball that he thought had already scored flying towards him. His body was faster than his brain, and he subconsciously caught it!
He kept the ball firmly under his body, and only then did he realize that the referee did not blow the whistle for a goal!
He finally had time to look up in confusion at the last man in front of the English goal who occupied his entire field of vision and blocked Spain's hope of overtaking.
Their captain was climbing up from the door, panting. Sweat was dripping from his forehead. His face looked a little pale, as if he was enduring something.
He was looking straight at his teammates, with no emotion visible in his deep blue eyes, but that was scarier than having any emotion.
He was obviously very dissatisfied with his teammates' performance in the second half, no, since they took the lead.
The aura he exuded at that moment caused everyone who witnessed the scene to stop moving.
At that moment, the whole world finally saw clearly the person who made them speechless for a moment——
It is England captain Irwin.
