When the players of the two teams came out one after another, their momentum was completely different.
The English players came on the field with a determination to break down the Portuguese defense. You can tackle as much as you want, but I'm going to be reckless anyway.
They said they wanted to learn Irving's spirit of not being able to be tackled, and to take every chance he got, regardless of defense.
Pepe: →_→
#It's not that I can't tackle him. Ivan is a very cunning guy. He's a good person, but he keeps making fake moves. I can't tackle him at all.
The whole Portuguese team was in even more amazing shape, with lights shining in their eyes. I wonder what inspiration the coach gave them in those 15 minutes.
England fans are now much more relaxed and are already in the mood to watch the highlights of the first half. At this time, Twitter had already released a GIF of Ronaldo hugging Ivan and kissing him excitedly after scoring a header.
What a smack!
etc.
Sweetie was kissed! Will Ronaldo continue to score goals? !
Why did the way he shook his head after being kissed, and the way he looked surprised after having the ball intercepted by Ronaldo, look a bit like watching a disobedient child at home? !
Oh shit! The eyes are full of enchantment!
Unlike other players, Lu Xiaopang's face froze after seeing Ronaldo score a goal, but Ivan's first reaction was!
Not only did she serve as a cushion for others, she wasn't even surprised when she was kissed, as if she was used to it!
#Thinking carefully is terrifying.jpg
At the beginning of the second half, the Portuguese player seemed to have tasted the sweetness and would run to Ivan's side to see if he could take advantage of the situation.
The fans watched helplessly as Ivan tried to pass the ball while avoiding harassment from the opposing player No. 7.
For example - when Ivan was dribbling the ball and preparing to pass it, he felt a familiar foot reaching out to him. He immediately stepped on the ball and pushed it to the side, protecting the ball tightly, and looked vigilantly (?) at the innocent-looking Portuguese player.
In the camera, Ronaldo smiled shyly, turned around and ran away. But running away was not enough, he also turned back to observe secretly.
fan:? ? ?
The two sides were in a stalemate for about 10 minutes, and finally someone broke the deadlock. The person who broke the deadlock was England's Rooney.
James's lob flew to the midfield and was caught by Ivin, who immediately passed it to Gerrard. The England captain then gave the ball directly to Rooney. Rooney was awesome this time, he scored the second goal of this World Cup!
After scoring the goal, Rooney hugged his teammates one by one. He was so happy. He hadn't scored a goal in the World Cup for four years. Ever since he had his little friend Alvin, he seemed to have broken the goal drought!
He carried him all the way over, following the order of the pass, and that was not enough. He got so excited that he hugged Gerrard and kissed him.
England captain Gerrard, the reliable brother: "..."
Next up is Alvin! Don’t run away, my friend. You are the only one missing. Come on, let’s cultivate brotherhood!
He was blocked halfway through his run by the Portuguese captain, his former club mate Cris. Luo Xiaoxiao happened to be running a few meters ahead of Ivan, and no one knew what he was thinking. Maybe he was unhappy that the team fell behind, so he directly blocked Rooney's way.
fan:? ? ?
Someone volunteered to help translate:
"Lu Xiaopang: Ivan, I want you to kiss me, hug me, and lift me up high!"
"Luo Xiaoxiao: Don't even think about it!"
"Evan:???"
Why did the scenery of this stadium change so strangely? ! The first half was still lifeless, but in the second half, they started playing happy football without any psychological burden? !
England is leading! Everyone in Portugal was startled. They knew England would definitely retreat and defend, and it would be even more difficult for them to score a goal then.
England really retreated, they played 4321 obediently, and Ivin stopped passing the ball and participated in defense.
The 4321 is actually 451.
Ronaldo watched Ivan run towards him. If it were any other time, he would be very happy. However, this was the World Cup, and Ivan running towards him meant that he would definitely have to defend himself.
Sure enough, in the following games, wherever Portugal's No. 7 ran, England's No. 29 followed.
England defender Upson, who had been on edge, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The task of defending Ronaldo alone was very difficult for him.
Luo Xiaoxiao felt aggrieved. Originally, Upson was defending him, so he could push and shove at will, but what about when Ivan was defending him? !
Several times when he was fighting for the landing point, he subconsciously wanted to push people, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he retracted his claws halfway.
The fans were excited and dazed. They knew that Ivan and Ronaldo had a good relationship. Was this Capello's tactic?
The camera turned to Capello with an expressionless face, and many people laughed. They couldn't believe you had such a cruel heart.
#True Shura Field
There were Argentinian fans watching the match and they couldn’t wait to see these two men, who are said to be good friends, fight. Come on, let’s fight, don’t be afraid! Just do it!
Alvin also knows how to defend Luo Xiaoxiao. Just stop him from running. He still wants to get the ball? Generally speaking it does not exist!
A few seconds before a tactical kick-off, Luo Xiaoxiao kept moving behind Ivan, but Ivan had eyes behind him, so Ivan could see through any direction Luo Xiaoxiao wanted to go to avoid him.
I can't stand it anymore! Too much!
The Portuguese man tugged at the corner of Ivan's clothes, and Ivan turned around, and the two men looked at each other. The photography team was already familiar with this, they always kept an eye on these two people who always created highlights, and then they captured this scene.
#I've confirmed through eye contact that this is the person I like.
The fans can't stand it anymore. They know you two know each other. Can you please play football properly and stop flirting with each other?
The Portuguese looked away on his own initiative: "Humph."
Ivan: “…”
The ball was headed towards them by someone, and the two men ran, each trying to grab the ball.
As soon as Ivan took a step forward, he tripped over Ronaldo. When he tried to lift his leg again, he realized something was wrong. Why did his shoe seem to be grabbed by someone?
The same goes for Ronaldo, he rushed faster, he was in a bad mood, he was in a complicated mood, on the one hand the team was behind, he was depressed and didn't want to talk to Alvin; on the other hand Alvin was refreshing his perception of Alvin's excellence. You know, when Alvin voluntarily gave up the penalty kick, if he was the protagonist, he would definitely remain silent and secretly happy in his heart.
I feel that Alvin has a unique charm. People can see him in the crowd at a glance, and they can also be conquered by his firm principles.
He was so great, his every move was exemplary, and Luo Xiaoxiao inexplicably felt a little panicked.
Of course, these thoughts were the sum of his thoughts over the past few dozen minutes. At this moment, he didn't think so much, he just wanted to grab the ball.
He also felt his shoes being pulled, but he was running too fast and couldn't control himself and fell down. That was not all, he seemed to have pulled something, and the person he was talking about not long ago fell with him.
When the two people stumbled and fell to the ground: "..."
They looked at the culprit - shoelaces that had gotten tangled at some point.
Ivan's left foot and Ronaldo's right foot are tightly connected by shoelaces!
The ball then went out of bounds, and the referee quickly blew the whistle and ran over to see if the two troublemakers (?) were hurt.
The eyes of the whole world were on them, and even the referee laughed when he saw why they were wrestling.
Luo Xiaoxiao tried to untie it, but it was too tight and turned into a knot. He was in a panic for a long time and couldn't untie it.
The whole team stood there in confusion, watching Ronaldo's struggle, and waited for them for a full minute.
This cannot delay the game, so the referee quickly asked them to go to the sidelines to resolve the issue.
England & Portugal players:? ? ?
#Mr. Referee, are you serious? How are you going to let them get out like this?
The referee glared and asked, "What are you looking at? Hurry up, the ball has started. Don't waste time or you will get a yellow card!" Why can't I go out? Haven't you ever played three-legged race? !
Ivan: “…”
C Luo: “…”
The Portuguese players were more anxious as they were the ones falling behind, so they rushed to help and pulled up two people. After the Portuguese captain stood up, he gave a very heroic push and let his teammates play the ball so that they could walk out of the sidelines by themselves.
The camera watched them walk out like conjoined twins.
“…”
The two men struggled on the sidelines for another half a minute. The fans closest to them couldn't bear to watch it anymore and wanted to rush in to help them.
#What to solve! Just cut it quickly and finish it! Did you know that you are the hope of both teams? !
How old are you and you don’t know how to untie your shoelaces? !
It's really a knot. The shoelaces are tied tightly to begin with, and now they are tangled together. Plus, the Portuguese were in a hurry at the beginning, which probably made it even more complicated.
Ivan then reached out to help, and his hand inevitably touched Ronaldo's hand. The latter watched Ivan's slender fingers fiddle with the part he was tormenting for a while, and then he untied the strap.
“…”
The shoelaces came undone and Alvin withdrew his hand. The Portuguese stared, forcing himself to suppress the slight regret in his heart.
Cristiano, wake up, this is a World Cup knockout match, and the man in front of you is a ruthless villain! He is so cruel to himself, let alone defending you? !
Alvin looked at his awkward expression and felt a little amused. He stood up first and extended his hand to the Portuguese.
Luo Xiaoxiao: Humph!
He stood up on his own, ignoring the hand that Ivan extended to him.
The fans and reporters were all shocked. Didn’t they have a good relationship? Can Ronaldo do this when they have such a good relationship? If this isn’t acting like a big shot, what is? !
Luo Hei was particularly happy, and he had new material to criticize him.
Alvin was not angry. He smiled and touched his little curly hair.
Luo Xiaoxiao glared at him.
"Let's go. It will be too late if you don't score a goal, Cris." Ivan left after saying this and ran away.
Luo Xiaoxiao: “…”
The fans who were looking at them were full of passion: "..."
Does Alvin particularly like to stroke his hair? ! Woohoo, how about my male god touch mine too? Our hair is absolutely free of hairspray, so it won’t feel rough on your hands!
Wait, this is the World Cup, can you two please create some World Cup atmosphere?
The game was now 75 minutes in, and Portugal didn't have much time left (?).
England further retreated in defense, but that didn't mean they wouldn't attack if they had the chance. The Portuguese players were unable to attack for a long time, and the England team always found opportunities to counterattack.
In the 78th minute of the game, after Terry cleared the ball, he went straight to Ivan!
Fat Lu thought it was a good idea as soon as he saw it, so he started running and ran a few steps first, so that when Alvin received the ball, he could choose to pass it to him immediately.
The fans watched him run away, and he didn't look like he was exhausted after running the whole game. He was so skilled at running that he didn't need to wait for Ivan to catch the ball. He was ready before the ball was given to Ivan.
#Mom said, opportunities always come to those who are prepared!
Ivan got the ball, and he stopped it beautifully, even the commentator got excited!
"Can Alvin create another goal? We'll be level at 3-1!"
Pepe fully remembered the coach's instructions. It would be absolutely dangerous to let Ivan take the ball at this time! Shovel it out first!
Pepe was in a hurry and just kicked the ball without caring whether he was going for the ball or not. In fact, he was already giving a lot of face to Ivan. If it was someone else, he would have been knocked down several times by Ivan with the ball.
When Ivan received the ball, he was at the edge of the Portuguese penalty area. He wanted to pass the ball immediately, but in the blink of an eye everyone gathered around him, so he had to move forward a little and avoid Pepe's tackle.
Richard's voice trembled with the rhythm of Irvin's dribbling: "Irvin caught the ball! He's running forward! God! Pepe tackled him! Oh, he avoided it, well done... Carvalho tackled again! Danger!... God! Avoided it again!!"
#God knows what happened to my sentence segmentation, it was really thrilling! Hurry up and give Alvin some praise to calm him down!
"Ivan's feint was amazing. Is there anyone who can dodge tackles better than Ivan? Is there anyone who can knock Ivan down with a tackle?!" Richard's voice became tense again. "Oh my God, a third person tackled Ivan! He succeeded! This person is... Cristiano Ronaldo?!"
Richard: “…”
#Instant slap in the face.
The neutral commentator thought he had hit a funny spot: "First, Ivan took the initiative to defend Ronaldo, and then Ronaldo took the initiative to tackle Ivan? They were both very busy in this game!"
We are responsible for both offense and defense, how can we not be busy?
Ivan fell into Ronaldo's arms again and the ball went out of bounds.
England fans are about to cry, please Capello, don't let Alvin stay within three meters, no, five meters around that Portuguese player, okay?
The Portuguese was also confused. He actually had no hope, but with just this one shovel, he succeeded.
This ball was handled beautifully, with a perfect touch. The referee saw it clearly and there was no foul.
Alvin looked at Luo Xiaoxiao, who had been entangled with him countless times. What could he do? He was also desperate.
Fat Lu had to stop halfway through his run. At this time, he saw clearly that it was their friend Cris who made them miss the opportunity.
#Please, author, let them reunite! It's really difficult for them to love and hate each other!
When Alvin dared to say that he was superior to others, he could remain calm in the face of everyone's obstruction. However, when facing someone who was three years younger than him, he actually hesitated.
It was completely subconscious. The other party was accidentally half a beat slower when approaching Ivan with dangerous moves.
And then nothing happened.
Obviously the Portuguese also realized this. He glared at Ivan with great dissatisfaction. Thinking back to the previous successful header, he always felt that something was wrong. Now he finally had the answer: "Why did you let me?!"
Ivan: “…”
Ivan: “I didn’t.”
"You have."
"I don't."
"You have it!"
“…”
"Not really. I'm going to tee off."
“…”
Under such heavy defense, Portugal can only rely on set pieces to break the deadlock.
Corner kick or free kick in the frontcourt.
As long as they score one more goal, they can drag the game into overtime and then go to a penalty shootout!
In the 85th minute of the game, Portugal got a free kick!
The team's first penalty taker must be Cristiano Ronaldo!
The Portuguese stood at the penalty spot and took a deep breath.
This is a direct free kick! Ivan and his tall teammates blocked the ball's most likely flight path!
The referee blew the whistle and he chose the route far to the right. If the ball went in, it would have hit the upper right corner of the goal!
His kick was an elevator ball, and the English defender closest to the side could only try to reach it in vain, but only changed the path of the ball a little bit, which was obviously of no help.
The Portuguese commentator shouted: "Cristiano Ronaldo!!! The ball goes in! The Portuguese captain scored twice and saved the team again!"
The Portuguese players followed their captain towards the corner and jumped on his back!
Luo Xiaoxiao turned his back on his teammates and subconsciously wanted to find the person who made him love and hate and become more and more inseparable from her!
Ivan stood there from a distance and gave him a thumbs up.
Everyone was surprised to see his action. How big is Alvin's heart? He actually had the leisure to praise Cristiano Ronaldo on the opposite side. Did he treat this as a friendly match?
The thing that English fans are most worried about has happened. Everyone knows England’s penalty kick level. They always lose on penalties and almost never win!
Damn, even though penalties are exciting, that depends on the other team! Don't ever take a penalty kick!
Now the situation has changed. The Portuguese players can breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, but there is not much time left for the English players!
The debate about the penalty kick that Ivan gave up appeared again. Originally, they shut up those people when they were leading, but now that they were equalized, those people started talking about the penalty kick that Ivan gave up again!
If you have the determination to give up, you must have the ability to score a goal! It's just a tactical goal. Every team can have such convenience. Why do you have to go against victory? Can't you just consider it as compensation for your previous red card?
Why do you demand so much of yourself when others are so harsh on you? You are dragging the whole of England into this!
Not everyone is like Alvin. They will curse the injustice their team suffers, but when their team gains an advantage, they will secretly laugh without making a sound!
England could no longer maintain their original defensive formation. A game that could be resolved in 90 minutes certainly could not be dragged into overtime or even penalties!
They were a little panicked, but still calm. Capello made a gesture, and Ivan understood that he should participate more actively in the attack in the frontcourt!
The English commentator was still struggling to deal with the controversial remarks when they looked up and saw that England had launched a very swift counterattack after kicking off from the center circle. This is indeed a very good opportunity!
"Lampard took the ball and passed it directly to the front court! Passed it to - Ivan! Ivan is speeding up! He entered the penalty area! He received the ball!"
But the Portuguese players returned to defense quickly and were basically in position, so goalkeeper Eduardo felt a little relieved. However, after today's game, Eduardo once again deepened his impression of that truth.
——The goalkeeper is the position on the field where one cannot let down their guard the most.
This is simply the truth!
Ivan did not choose to pass the ball, nor did he choose to continue breaking through. Instead, he kicked the ball from the spot and made a long shot directly!
"Oh my God! The ball goes in!!! Irvin made a long shot from 45 meters away from the goal! This broke the record for the longest shot in this World Cup! England overtook Portugal again less than a minute after they equalized the score!"
"This goal is worth 50 million!"
The voices that were questioning Ivan just now disappeared instantly! The commentators were so proud that they played the replay of this goal excitedly over and over again!
Ahhhhhhhhh! The stadium is boiling! In England, on the other side of the globe, the fans waiting in front of the square also jumped up!
The entire England team rushed towards Ivan and pinned him to the ground, one after another, forming a human mountain!
The Portuguese players' expressions froze. They were out of time and they had tried their best, especially when the opponent had "let" them score a goal.
Watching the other side celebrate, they could only accept the result bitterly. They can only serve as a regrettable and sad background to the opponent's impending victory.
The commentator praised loudly: "This game is the most exciting game since the start of the World Cup! Because it not only has wonderful goals, but also brings us precious sportsmanship, and all this is due to one person, that person is - Alvin DeWitt!"
While others were busy striving for victory, he truly enjoyed the game and was not impatient, always scoring goals when the team needed them most!
His strength does not lie in how many goals he can score, but in his frighteningly accurate assessment of his own limits and the strength of his opponents, so he is always full of confidence!
"Who said that Ivan is England's sinner? He doesn't need the convenience given by the referee to win the game. He has the ability and he has enough confidence to prove it to the whole world—"
"He is a miracle and a legend in himself! Don't try to plot against him. It will only make you feel ashamed and embarrassed in the end!"
The author has something to say: I cried, I still didn’t finish the game, I am guilty, I confess QAQ
