Ivan and the substitute players around him stood up and raised their hands to celebrate!
Prince William and Prince Harry applauded, well done!
Everyone was happy, except Capello. The serious coach looked at the players who were a little too optimistic on the field and shouted at them to calm down.
Andy: "Oh... Capello doesn't look very excited. His expression is not very good."
Richard: "Is he worried that the players will score too early and relax too early?"
In the stands, Sebastian rubbed his face and said, "Hey, Captain America, Team America needs your help!"
Mr. Tao: “…”
#Did this guy become stupid because of the movie? !
After taking the lead, England began to tighten their defense. This was the tactic Capello had agreed on in advance: once they were ahead, they had to strengthen their defense.
England has always adhered to the 1-0 principle, which is exactly what the Italian coach is good at. The fans didn't like it, and they wanted Ivan to score more goals even more.
Facts have proved that the reason why this champion coach is called a champion coach is that he must have his own unique qualities.
Capello is experienced, and in the 30th minute of the game, what he worried about happened.
Capello was always worried that the players would relax because of the lead, but he didn't expect that the fatal mistake would occur in the goalkeeper's position!
England's goalkeeper position has once again become the team's Achilles' heel!
The American striker himself didn't expect that he could score a goal. He really just kicked the ball blindly. As a result, the opposing goalkeeper had butter hands and let the ball go into the goal!
#shock! England goalkeeper Green gave away first blood!
Green lay on the ground in pain, feeling guilty for his lack of concentration and his carelessness!
Andy was speechless as he watched the slow-motion video: "Green's gesture for saving the ball is obviously wrong..."
Richard hit the nail on the head, and he was in a bad mood: "The save was too amateurish."
The ball was not going very fast and had a straight angle, but it was missed just like that. Such a mistake would not be tolerated by English fans or the media.
The England team has been defeated many times by the goalkeeper's butter-handed performance, and they said they were very tired.
The message board exploded. They could not accept such a low-level mistake at all!
"What's going on? Is our goalkeeping position toxic?"
"Fuck, is this our number of butter-handed goalkeepers?"
"Let me count, Seaman, Robinson, James, Carson, is it Green's turn now?!"
"This is really the biggest black humor of this World Cup!"
In the camera, Capello turned around speechlessly. He gave Green full trust before the game, but Green failed to take on this important responsibility.
Beckham sat stiffly, staring in the direction of his own goal with wide eyes. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Joe Hart, who was sitting next to Ivan, bit his fingers, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.
The happy thing is that he may get more playing opportunities, but Green's World Cup career may end here. The sad thing is that they were tied... Wait, why be sad! The boss is sitting next to him!
The Three Cats Army is not afraid!
Sebastian in the stands: "Fuck, it's really tied, I was just saying that casually!"
The magical actor who plays Captain America, Mr. Tao: "..."
The first half is over.
Seeing that the England team had to switch from defense to offense, the fans were of course happy to see the attack, but that was not based on being forced!
The desire to let Alvin play is getting stronger and stronger!
People who are following this game also think so. How long does Capello want to keep Ivan? It's time to show everyone how powerful your special forces are!
Friendly matches and warm-up matches don’t count, the World Cup is the real battlefield!
The players walked back to the tunnel, and Beckham high-fived every player, just as he did at the start of the game.
Green was a little dazed and he obviously realized that his World Cup journey was basically over.
When Alvin saw his appearance, he wanted to comfort him and at the same time help him block the media's malicious photos.
He took the initiative to hug Green and put his hand on his shoulder: "It will be fine, don't worry."
Green looked up at Ivan, and the flash lights on both sides of the player tunnel entrance suddenly flashed non-stop.
Ivan took the initiative to comfort Green? Is this a signal that Ivan will play in the second half?
After the friendly match with Italy, Ivan's image as a savior striker has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the public!
Speaking of Italy, the champion team of last year was tied by second-tier Paraguay in the first match. England shouldn't follow in Italy's footsteps, right?
Andy: “I don’t know if Capello will make any adjustments to the goalkeeper position.”
Richard: "Compared to this, I'd rather know whether England's sweetheart will play in the second half, hahahaha."
At the beginning of the second half, Capello made a substitution, but he only changed a player on the defensive wing, replacing No. 20 Ledecky, who had a knee injury, with the older Carragher.
Capello looked solemn, this was a substitution adjustment he had originally planned to make and could not be avoided.
He looked towards the bench. Ivan had already sat down. The young man did not show any sign of being anxious and looked more stable than anyone else.
The unfamiliar coordination and impatient mentality of the players on the field finally made the Italian coach make up his mind. In the 60th minute of the game, England made another substitution, with No. 29 Alvin Devitt replacing No. 21 Heskey.
Before Ivan got up to warm up, Hart hesitantly called out to him, "Ivan, you have to be careful."
Hart glanced at Capello who was standing not far away: "The position you go to might attract more firepower."
Heskey's original responsibility was to rush forward and attract the attention of the opposing defenders, so it would be difficult for Ivan to go up like this.
Husky is used to having thick skin and flesh, but Ivan has been injured before, so Hart said he needs to worry about his little friend.
Ivan smiled and ruffled Hart's hair to show his gratitude: "Okay, I'll be careful."
Joe Hart, who was rubbed on the head by the boss, said: "..."
#QAQ Alvin, is this the right way to stroke Rooney’s hair?
When I think about it, I feel quite proud that he has a lot of hair.
The camera found Irwin in a second, and the commentators exclaimed: "England's sweetheart is starting to warm up!"
Ivan high-fived Heskey and ran to Heskey's original position, and immediately received love from Rooney.
Fat Lu: "Ivan, do you want to do it yourself or pass the ball to me?"
Rooney plays extremely well at the club, but he always dies down in big competitions. His eyes lit up when he saw his best assist partner coming up.
"I'll pass it to you when I have a chance, but you have to be careful." Alvin reminded.
Fat Lu nodded vigorously. With Ivan's words, everything was settled!
The assistant coach who was observing Alvin was confused. What was going on? Wasn’t he playing on the left side? He had never seen Alvin play on the right side!
Even during Mourinho's time at Chelsea, Alvin only played as a midfielder!
The media outside the stadium were busy looking for lip-reading interpreters when they saw the situation on the field suddenly change.
Ivan received the pass from Gerrard on the right side and stopped the ball quickly. The American defenders had already been instructed by their coach, so when they saw Ivan getting the ball, they did not dare to ignore it and hurried back to provide support.
The coach said, even if England's No. 29 is just standing there motionless, if you see him getting the ball, you have to be careful!
They were getting nervous, but Ivan was still standing still. They saw him looking towards the middle!
This is going to be a pass, guys block his route!
Ivan has raised his right foot and looks like he is going to kick the ball. The American goalkeeper noticed his movement. Is he going to pass the ball to Rooney?
Rooney was excited, here I come buddy, I'm here to pick you up!
Ivan watched the movements of the defender in front of him, but he put down his raised right foot and quickly pushed the opponent's crotch with his left foot!
The ball slipped between the American's feet!
"Dribble, dribble past the defense!!!" Andy shouted, "Ivan once again performed a man-ball separation. He used a fake move to deceive the defender, accelerated from the right, and got the ball!"
The American commentator exclaimed: "Oh my God! That England No. 29 passed the ball to himself two seconds later!"
Seeing that his teammate was unable to react in time, the other defender quickly filled in. The defenders defending Rooney and Gerrard were all panicked, and the American goalkeeper was even more panicked than them. Should he pass the ball or shoot? !
But he is very close to the bottom line! The angle between him and the goal is getting smaller and smaller!
The second defender's sliding tackle is just around the corner! Ivan chose to pick the ball up, and at the same time, he jumped up and avoided the opponent's fierce action!
"Oh my God, oh my God, he dribbled past the opponent!" The commentator's voice trembled.
"Passed the second one!"
Many fans gathered in front of major squares in England. They stared at the big screen in front of them and couldn't help but put their hands together.
Attracted by the commentator's shouts, many people who were passing by in a hurry stopped and looked at the big screen where the cheers were deafening.
"There are no more defenders! It's too late for the other defenders! Is he going to go it alone?! Ivan——"
The goalkeeper had to attack, he had no choice!
But when the goalkeeper faces multiple offensive players from the opposing team, even if the goalkeeper stands here, the chances of him being able to block the attack bravely are very small!
Facing the goalkeeper's desperate rush towards him, Ivan chose to pass the ball from his right foot to his left foot, then pushed the ball with the outside of his left foot, and the ball went straight towards Rooney!
Empty door!
Rooney thought Irving would shoot the ball himself, but when he saw the pass, he rushed to grab it, but the coordination was not good enough, and the ball rolled straight through his legs...
Rolled over.
The past.
past.
go.
Fatty Lu: “…”
He thought the ball was cold and he had betrayed Ivan's trust, but he didn't expect it!
"Gooooooooal!!! Gerrard received the pass from Ivan, the England captain scored twice, England 2-1 USA!!" Richard slammed the table, this pass was really wonderful!
Fat Lu:? ? ?
The replay of the live broadcast says it all! After passing two people, facing the goalkeeper's attack, Alvin did not choose to shoot himself, but passed the ball, allowing his opponent to face the empty goal!
Everyone thought he was going for Rooney, including Rooney and the defender behind him, but the ball slipped between Rooney's legs and went directly to Gerrard who was farther away!
Gerrard was on the left at that time, and the defender, whose attention was completely focused on Ivan and Rooney, completely forgot his existence!
So he received the ball so comfortably, faced the empty goal, and just kicked it past it!
Cities across England were in a frenzy, people cheered and hugged each other, they witnessed the birth of this brilliant combination of the England national team!
Once again! England scored a goal one minute after Ivan came on the pitch!
He is a lucky general and the apple of England's eye!
The commentators praised this cooperation: "Oh! Who said that England's team cooperation is not good? This goal at least shows that our players cooperated many times in secret!"
In fact, Rooney didn’t cooperate at all:? ? ?
Facing the captain who ran over to hug him and Irvin with laughter, Rooney was confused. He couldn't help but ask the question in his mind: "Irvin, who did you pass the ball to?"
Ivan, emmmm, he said innocently: "I saw that there was no one at the captain's place, I thought it would be more appropriate to give it to him."
Rooney:! ! !
Gerrard hugged Rooney and laughed: "You have done a great job, Wayne, you attracted the attention of the defender and goalkeeper behind you!"
American goalkeeper Howard is also a very stable person. After being deceived by Ivan, he reacted very quickly and was ready to save Rooney!
Unexpectedly, Ivan passed the ball further, to Gerrard, leaving Howard completely helpless!
Rooney: “…”
Ivan comforted him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It's okay, your ball leaked naturally, everyone thought you deliberately leaked it to the captain."
Lu Xiaopang: grief and anger.jpg
Is Alvin comforting him? I feel even more angry for no reason. What should I do?
Irving was right. The commentator was still praising: "Oh! This is a dream pass!"
"Praise God for giving us Alvin and this England!"
The camera followed Ivan all the way, and saw him running towards the camera on the sideline, lifting up his clothes to reveal the clothes underneath.
It is winter in South Africa and many players wear an extra layer of clothing inside.
In the camera, there is a sentence written on Ivan’s undershirt: Dedicated to my mother and my grandmother!
There was a big screen at the scene. The American duo who witnessed the wonderful goal were as quiet as a chicken. After a long time, Sebastian said: "Aren't all the goals dedicated to the family?"
Chris Evans did the same thing: "This pass looks even better than the goal."
The person next to him puffed up his cheeks and said, "Captain America, we are behind again. It's time to test you."
“…”
With Ivan's words, the camera will definitely look for his family again.
The media with sharp minds thinks more, just for mom and grandma? Where is dad?
