Godfather Of Champions

The football spun into the goal, rubbed the net, and made a slight rustle. But this voice has been completely submerged in the singing made by more than 10,000 English fans at the scene.

The New Mestalla Stadium can accommodate 70,000 spectators. Now nearly 60,000 Spanish fans are collectively silent. It has instantly changed from the home stadium of Spain to the home stadium of England.

"This is a glorious moment in English football! We are leading the host Spain with a score of 2-0, and there are 15 minutes before the end of the game! That is to say, it is only the first time before the England team reached the World Series final in 50 years. Only fifteen minutes!!" John Mortensen yelled into the microphone excitedly, his voice spread across England via satellite.

All England fans cheered for his words, as if fifteen minutes was just a blink of an eye, and they had already taken the lead to the Bernabeu, the venue of the final.

The score of 2:0 also let half of the Spaniards present chilled. With fifteen minutes left in the game, two goals are behind. If you want to reach the final, you must score at least two goals in these fifteen minutes, and you can’t let the England team score... just think about it. All feel so difficult. Let alone put it into practice.

Not only the fans, but the Spanish players on the pitch, some people already felt desperate when the goal was scored...

They are convinced that they are excellent, but they have a feeling that they can't help it... as if something went wrong.

Hiero sat on the seat, biting his lower lip tightly, until his lips turned white. His brain is running at a high speed, and he is thinking about what to do if he is unwilling to give up under such circumstances.

After thinking for a long time, he looked for George Wood, and must find a breakthrough from him. Wood is the captain, core and pinnacle of the England team. As long as he has a problem, the England team is likely to collapse at the last minute.

There is absolutely no shortage of such a shocking reversal in world football. Today, his Spanish team has to dedicate it to the fans!

※※※

Dunn's excitement only lasted for a short time. Then he began to consider whether to replace Wood at this time. Wood is carrying a yellow card, and it stands to reason that he should be replaced after a two-goal lead. But Dunn knew that Spain would counterattack wildly after the kick-off. At that time, it was the most dangerous time. If you accidentally score a goal by the opponent, the situation can be reversed in an instant. The prevailing one will no longer be England, but Spain.

Keeping Wood on the court can stabilize defense...

Dunn decided to keep Wood on the court for another five minutes after weighing it. After five minutes of the fiercest Spanish offensive, without delay for a second, let Wood come to rest. There are ten minutes left to defend the penalty area and also to hold the advantage of these two goals. At that time, as long as the old man of God does not play with people, he should be able to pass.

When the England players celebrated the goal and started to run towards their own half, Dunn made a gesture of shrinking defense to them from the sidelines. At this time, stability overwhelms everything, and there will never be such a chance to fight back...

※※※

After the game restarted, as Dunn had expected, although the Spaniards felt distressed by the score, not everyone gave up fighting, and as a professional athlete, the experience accumulated from the long-term unfavorable situation is also Helping them at the crucial moment... The most important thing is that in front of 60,000 home audiences, in their home stadium, they do not want to miss the European Cup finals in their country.

Hierro stood on the sidelines, staring at the court with a serious expression, as if conveying such a message-before the final whistle blows, never give up!

In order to pay tribute to such an opponent, the Royal Navy also hoisted the flag of St. George. Wood was kept on the court until Dunn thought he could be replaced.

On the other hand, Gareth Barry has already begun to warm up on the sidelines. He will replace Wood later-if nothing else...

※※※

"We don't really want him to take a card..." Fabregas took advantage of the dead ball to hold a few teammates around him and told them in particular, "If he really got a yellow card, the situation would be bad for us. I believe he will be determined to deal with us, anyway, he has missed the next game...so we just have to put pressure on them, don't you really apply for a yellow card for him...break through from him, don't make a breakthrough Fall to the ground with physical contact, absolutely not like that! Our goal is not to get a set ball in front of the penalty area, but to penetrate inside!"

Iniesta has been replaced by Hierro, replaced by Cazorla, and Lago changed to midfield. Fabregas is now the only core and commander of the team. He must maintain a sober brain.

"There are still ten minutes, don't give up! Don't give up!"

※※※

George Wood found himself a target for players at once. He is not afraid of such a challenge, even if he has to pay the price of not being able to participate in the finals. Because this is his principle-he will not hesitate when things come. As long as the boss keeps him on the court, it means that he is very important. If there is a task that has not yet been completed, then before completing his own task, he Will never give in.

It's a pity that he thinks so and his teammates must not agree.

Fabregas has warned his teammates not to focus on revenge on Wood, but to find ways to create goals. But Lago has his own ideas-what could be better than letting the opposing team's captain miss the next game and getting his team to the finals?

The reason Lago thinks this way is that he has an excellent free kick technique, and the Spanish team now gives him all the set kicks. Deliberately creating a foul for Wood, allowing him to receive a yellow card and giving Spain a free kick in the frontcourt, which is completely in Lago's interest.

But it’s not okay to make a foul anywhere. Try to get as close as possible to the penalty area and close to the danger zone, so that the opponent’s foul is worth the referee’s card, and such a free kick is more threatening.

When Lago received the football, he did not pass the football to Fabregas who had already pulled out the gap and saw the England team's defensive gap and was raising his hand for the ball. Instead, he chose to bring his own breakthrough. He is quite confident in his dribbling skills...

"Idiot!" Fabregas couldn't help cursing after seeing his teammate's decision. Looking back, England's defense has automatically adjusted. The gap that was exposed just now disappears for a moment, and I don't know when it will be the next time it appears.

In this way, an opportunity that could have been scored was wasted, and Fabregas was of course angry. But he can't get angry now, he has to cooperate with his teammates' offensive.

Lago didn't know that Fabregas was very dissatisfied with what he had just done. He only had George Wood in front of him in his eyes. He wants to get that man down and save Spain with a free kick!

Wood didn't let him get his wish. Probably because of too many distracting thoughts in his mind, when approaching Wood, Lago's own pace was messed up and he didn't control the ball. Faced with such a dribble, Wood easily stopped the ball. Lago stumbled and ran a few steps before remembering to fall, and he didn’t find anything... No, at least he caught the ridicule of English fans. .

"For such a poor flop, the referee should give him a yellow card!" Mortensen was also rude to the Spanish players.

The England team took the opportunity to organize a fast break and once again threatened Spain's goal. Fortunately, this time Asenho was focused and played well, slamming Vaughan's shot in excellent condition.

But this made Fabregas very dissatisfied with the captain's armband. He waved and snarled at Lago, complaining that he was too alone.

Largo replied in dissatisfaction.

This scene made Dunn very happy watching it off the court, and it seemed that the Spaniard's patience was running out. When the players of a team no longer believe that teamwork can open up the situation, but prefer to use personal skills to play heroes, the team is not far from death...

Despite the criticism of Lago's performance just now, when Lago appeared in the right position next time, Fabregas still passed the ball unselfishly. Then he moved on his own, hoping to catch Lago.

This time Lago still disappointed Fabregas, and he continued to take the ball to Wood. This kind of emotion is really abnormal, but when two goals are behind and the game time is one second less than one second, no matter how abnormal it is, it can be understood-everyone will have the moment when they are impetuous and lose their mind, just pull Go came earlier than Fabregas.

Wood greeted him this time, he wanted to let the other party completely die this heart, let him understand that he was an insurmountable mountain, and he was just an ant-like mortal.

This is what Lago is waiting for, this time he must make Wood pay a heavy price!

But the two did not meet. Mitchell, who was actively involved in the defense, knocked Lago down from the other side when they were five meters away. The referee's whistle sounded unexpectedly.

Mitchell and Lago fell to the ground together, while Wood turned his head to look at the referee who was running over, his eyes focused on the opponent's left arm, and the thing was reaching into the chest pocket.

If he remembers correctly, Mitchell has already received a yellow card in the game against Sweden...

Mitchell obviously didn't expect that his foul would get him a yellow card. He wanted to show off to Wood that he helped him stop the enemy's conspiracy, but saw that Wood's expression was wrong. So he followed Wood's gaze and saw the yellow card in the referee's hand!

Not only Wood and Mitchell found out the seriousness of the problem, Dunn also knew what this yellow card surprised Mitchell: if England can successfully defeat Spain, he will miss the most important one. Game-final!

"How could this be..." Mitchell murmured, and then he suddenly rushed to the referee, angrily trying to protest, but was hugged by the quick-eyed George Wood and dragged him back.

"Do you want to get a direct red card?" He shouted to Mitchell who was struggling desperately.

The person in his arms did not calm down, but struggled more violently. "It's not fair!" he roared.

Wood couldn't continue to comfort Mitchell, because if he fouled himself just now, then this yellow card should be for himself. Because this location is too sensitive...a point before the top of the penalty area, if Lago breaks through himself, he will directly face the central defender led by Terry.

Not only Mitchell, but other English players were dissatisfied with the referee's decision. They surrounded the referee, hoping that he would withdraw the yellow card decision. But how is this possible? The sentence made is like water poured out...

Dunn didn't swear at the bottom, because he knew that the foul in this place was very sensitive, and the referee's decision to give the card depends on his mood. Obviously, the judge in black was not in a good mood at this time...

He just turned to ask Des Walker how Barry was warming up. Looking at this situation, he could not keep Wood on the court. Mitchell is a lesson from the past.

Barry ran up to Dunn while taking off his training vest. He knew he had finally waited for his chance to play.

"You play for George..." Dunn said to him.

※※※

At the same time, the protests of the English players against the referees on the court have ended, because it will not help at all. Only Mitchell seemed depressed, the best opportunity was in front of him, but he wanted to be a spectator... He couldn't accept this fact, but what could he do?

George Wood saw the fourth official holding up the substitution sign on the sidelines. The person standing next to the fourth official was Gareth Barry. He knew he was about to be replaced. He patted Mitchell in the wall, opened his mouth, and said, "Thank you."

Then he took off the captain's armband, turned to Terry, and completed the captain handover. Then he walked slowly to the sidelines, enjoying the applause of the English fans standing up and paying tribute.

"Tune replaced Wood, obviously for the purpose of protecting Wood. Unfortunately, Mitchell will miss the next game, and that is likely to be the final..." Mortensen was fortunate for Wood at the same time. Mitchell felt sorry. At the same time, he was also a little worried about England’s fate in the final. Although Mitchel did not score many goals, he was definitely a very effective center forward. His passing, his header, his technique, and even in critical moments. He can also serve as a central defender, and such a comprehensive center will definitely increase the team's combat effectiveness.

Wood walked to the sidelines, hugged Barry, slapped him on the court, and shook hands with Dunn.

He asked while shaking hands: "Don't you replace Mitchell?"

Dunn shook his head: "I have received a yellow card, what's the use of changing it?"

Wood didn't say anything, and turned to the bench. As a result, the towel passed by Assistant Coach Walker was thrown over his head and sat in the chair silently. He still feels sorry for Mitchell's fate...

Spain has already begun to prepare for a free kick, and Lago himself does it. The football drew an arc, bypassed the wall, and bypassed Joe Hart's fingers, and got into the goal!

At that moment, the New Mestalla Stadium could not hear anything except the cheering storm of the Spanish fans. Even Dun En himself couldn't hear his swearing.

"Get a goal back! We get a goal back!" The Spanish commentator seemed to see hope.

Fabregas, who was still dissatisfied with Lago just now, also rushed up and gave the other a strong hug.

Largo finally enjoyed the treatment like a hero...

While the Spaniards were busy celebrating, Mitchell picked up the football in the net alone, ran all the way to the center circle, and slammed the football on the kick-off point. When he raised his head again, he could no longer see the frustrated and angry expression.

He rediscovered the value of being a striker.

※※※

"Don't waste time celebrating!" Hierro loudly reminded his players from the sidelines that they have no time to do such things. "Hurry up and get me back to the game! One more goal! Seven minutes left!" He pointed to the watch on his wrist to the Spanish players on the court.

Despite this, the Spanish players who returned to their positions still couldn't hide the smile on their faces. They have seen hope. Although there are only seven minutes before the end of the game, there is still injury time...

After the game restarted, Mitchell suddenly stopped actively returning to defense, instead staying in front and constantly raising his hands for the ball. Except that Pikwe paid more attention to him, the Spanish players did not take it seriously. At this time, they were all thinking about scoring goals, equalizing the score, and completing a major reversal...

In the final time, the Spanish team was heavily pressured, and the Spanish fans in the stands also played adrenaline, constantly making voices to support the team. The singing of the English fans was completely suppressed.

But when Barry passed the ball long above Mitchell's head, the sound stopped abruptly.

Pikwe paid too much attention to the position, but Mitchell turned around and wiped it away. He almost fell to the ground after losing his center of gravity, but he also lost his goal.

Mitchell looked back at the Spanish player who was desperately returning to defense, and then glanced up at the football on his head. He was already outside the top of the penalty ball.

"Why forgot to defend?!" The Spanish commentator issued an angry question, but only then remembered to ask this question. Is it too late?

Asenjo must also want to question his teammates in this way, but for now, let's block the opponent's single-handed ball first...

"Asenjo left the door to attack. This is a solo! It's a great opportunity for Mitchell. As long as we can score a goal, we will definitely go to the final!"

Seeing this scene, George Wood tore off the white towel covering his head, got up from the bench, and stared nervously in front of the Spanish penalty area.

Not every single goal will be scored. While the goalkeeper is under pressure, the single-handed forward also needs to withstand tremendous pressure, and it is likely to be bigger than the goalkeeper...

"Knock it in, Aron!" Dunn gritted his teeth from the sidelines, his knuckles were already white. "This is your final! Get it in!"

Faced with Asenho, who was near the penalty kick, Mitchell suddenly stopped and raised his right leg. The football fell right at this time, everything seemed to have been precisely calculated. He didn't volley vigorously, but just flat-end his right foot and slightly lifted... the football jumped again, flew over Asenjo's head, drew a parabola, and fell straight to the goal.

Since I can't make it to the final, I will score the goal that was originally reserved for the final!

Use my right foot to send the team to the final! There is nothing to regret! That's right, nothing good...

The football flew across the goal line against the crossbar and finally landed inside the goal.

Jerk! why me……

Mitchell's knees softened and fell to his knees.

The Nova Mestalla stadium was silent.

"This is one of the most beautiful arcs I have ever seen..." John Mortensen sighed softly in such a quiet environment. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
