Godfather Of Champions

No one knows what Abangraho is thinking at this moment. Even he himself didn't know how this thought came up from the bottom of his heart.

Anyway, he now has a puff in his chest. The European Cup final is not something that can satisfy him by running two laps and then going down. The team starts with 11 people, but only the person who scores can leave his name in the final. As a striker, he is inherently cheaper than his teammates in other positions, so what's the point of running for tens of minutes in an ineffective manner?

Of course you have to score!

Must score!

Abang Raho re-invested in the game. It was obvious that he was running more aggressively than before, and he didn't seem to continue to be at the forefront. Instead, he withdrew from the opponent's penalty area and raised his hand. Want the ball.

Dunn was very satisfied with his change, so he didn't continue to supervise the battle from the sidelines, but turned back to the coaching bench for water.

Everyone in the coaching staff knew why he wanted Abang Raho to start and gave up Vaughan. But they can't tell the players the reason, because it matters whether the team can win the game.

After three minutes, England's continued offensive finally created an opportunity for Abangraho. After receiving Wood's pass at the edge of the penalty area, he broke into the penalty area and faced goalkeeper Amelia. He tried to use the outside instep to get around the opponent, but the arc was slightly larger and he went straight out of the far post.

This ball made the English feel sorry and shocked the Italian into a cold sweat.

But the commentators who opposed Abang Raho’s debut are still picking his faults: "It's a pity! But if you change to Vaughan, maybe you will get in..."

This statement is completely irresponsible, because James Vaughan’s shooting is not accurate to the point of millimeters. Shooting is a matter of luck. No matter how bad luck is, you can score a goal, and maybe it still World wave. With bad luck, even if a striker of Romario's level comes, it is possible to lose in the face of an empty goal. What's more, in terms of competition experience, Abangraho is obviously better than Vaughan, because Nottingham Forest can often participate in important Champions Cup matches in the past few years, and Abangraho has also won. Dunn’s starting Abang Raho is not pure nepotism, but because Abang Raho is indeed capable of starting in such an important game.

The main reason for criticizing him in the media is that Abang Raho only scored one goal in this European Cup, which is not commensurate with his status as a striker. However, his performance at the right forward position is fairly good.

Abang Raho’s shot failed to score, but Dunn stood on the sidelines and applauded his performance just now. There is no problem with the use of technology, just a little bit of luck...

Abangraho himself couldn't hear the commentators' evaluation of him. Through this shot he found a place to use.

In the subsequent offense, Abangraho appeared more on the ribs of the Italian defender line-between the center back and the full back. This position made the opponent very uncomfortable. It's a bit like a place that doesn't matter, it's hard for anyone to go.

Wood also discovered this, and he had his own plan in mind.

It stands to reason that Rooney should be the main attack point of the England team because he is physically strong, skilled and experienced. But these are just the text and circuit diagrams on the tactical board. It is impossible for Rooney to get so many opportunities in the game. Mitchell was suspended, and Vaughan, who performed well in the semifinals, was pushed on the bench by Dunn. In the eyes of the Italians, Rooney is the most threatening person on the English striker, and they have no reason to let it go.

So in the actual game, Rooney received the toughest defense.

Just look at Christopher, who is inseparable, and you know how much risk it takes to pass the ball...

Wood is a man, not a machine, and he has the right to modify the instructions entered before the game according to the situation on the field. Since Rooney's road is unavailable, change the road. He took aim at Abangraho, who was sleepwalking before.

He didn't know why Dunn wouldn't let Vaughan play, but he didn't think Abang Raho was incapable of starting. And in his opinion, Abangraho's previous sleepwalking performance is a big advantage. If he makes good use of it, he can receive unexpected effects that the Italians did not expect.

Because of his previous poor performance, the Italian defenders have somewhat relaxed their mark on him. Now Italians must think in their hearts that this Abangraho is not a threat, right?

That's great...

Wood ran to the front court to participate in the attack, and Gerrard passed the football back to him. Wood gave the football directly to Abang Raho in the ribs. Sure enough, when he received the ball, the Italian defensive players did not immediately jump on it.

Abang Raho took advantage of this time to quickly complete the turn and face the goal.

When Chiellini pounced, he did not bury his head and dribble in, but suddenly divided the football into the middle!

This hand really surprised the Italians. Gerrard, who received the pass in the middle, took a long shot without hesitation!

Fortunately, Amelia was very focused and firmly pressed Gerrard's long shot from the ground.

But this time the attack made the Italian realize one thing-Abangraho is still the guy who passes the ball to others, he is definitely not the main direction of England.

This strengthened the Italian defenders' focus on Rooney and Gerrard's ideas.

"In fact, our tactics in the first half were not suitable for Abangraho..." Walker said to Dunn who was standing on the sidelines. "He is more suitable for the counterattack. I think he should be more useful after we are ahead..."

"Most people think so, including Italians." Dunn turned to Walker and shook his head. "Abangraho's speed is too fast and too dazzling. Everyone has formed a fixed mindset for him. Including the current Nottingham Forest coach... But I don't think so. I have been under me for so many years, if I can only In terms of speed, he would have cleared him out of the team a long time ago. He has another side, but it is not very noticeable. I just want to use his unobtrusive side to help me open the situation."

Having said that, Dunn laughed, "Now Italian players think so."

He pointed to the court to show Walker.

Abangrajo’s position has moved back a little bit, but none of the Italian defenders have pulled out to keep up with the defense. Italian midfielders are also paying attention to Gerrard and Wood who frequently intervenes behind. The other two wide players.

Abangraho is raising his hand for the ball. He hasn't forgotten to look around and look around him. Unexpectedly, no one pays attention to him. He was despised.

Abangraho was angry at this treatment, but Dunn was laughing, and he was very happy.

"Lippi..." He glanced at the next door, "He is a very cautious head coach, but he didn't expect that I would start Abang Raho, a man who performed mediocre in this cup, so he must be wrong. What kind of targeted arrangements Abangraho made? Everything depends on the player's own judgment. You know, Des. People make mistakes. They have their own ideas. This is beyond the head coach's control... "

Under Lippi’s repeated emphasis, the Italian team’s players gave the England team high attention, but Abangraho, who was out of the plan, did not get the respect he deserved. Of course, his previous poor performance "helped" him. No one is concerned about wasting time on someone who is not in shape. Compared with Abang Raho, even George Wood's shot is more threatening.

※※※

Wood did not intend to tell his other teammates his thoughts, and then let everyone go to Abang Raho to pass the ball. This is a gamble. The bet is that the Italians did not react so quickly. If the England team fed the ball to Abang Raho, it would reveal the true intentions. He decided to do it alone.

Of course you have to take some risks. But as the metronome and core of the team, choosing when to take risks and when to be conservative is a matter of course.

Abang Raho once again raised his hand for the ball, and Wood also passed the ball over. Then he rushed forward and made a posture that he wanted to play "two over one" with Abangrajo. The Italian defensive players were really fooled, whether it was Chiellini or Aquilani, they all turned their sights on. He ignored Abang Raho who had already got the ball.

Abang Raho, who caught the ball and turned in one go, didn't mean to pass the ball. He looked up and saw a road leading to the penalty area...

Just between Chiellini and Vital, in the ribs of their defense line, there is a seam, from where Abangraho sees the penalty area.

After making an illusion of passing the ball, Abang Raho suddenly knocked the football forward and started!

Chiellini is paying attention to Wood, while Vital is staring at "Little Tiger" Walcott. No one would have thought that Abangraho would choose to bring a breakthrough on his own!

His speed is indeed fast, in an instant, he has rushed in, and Chiellini just started to turn around...

"Stop him!!" De Rossi cried out in a panic.

Crischito rushed from the side, he once again made a key prediction, dropped Rooney and rushed towards Abangraho. This is entirely out of the instinct of a good defender.

Abang Raho, who broke into the penalty area, was not polite and kicked and shot. At this moment, Christopher came with a shovel and shoveled him with the ball!

"Penalty!" John Mortensen screamed.

"Nice defense!" This is the voice of the Italian commentator.

Abangraho, who fell to the ground, thought he would hear the whistle of a penalty kick, but there was nothing. The ball that Crischito shoveled was kicked out by Chiellini, who was driven back. The referee didn't say anything about Christopher's action. Abangraho jumped up from the ground angrily and yelled at the indifferent linesman: "This is a foul! It's a foul!"

There are other English players who are as dissatisfied as him. Wood ran to the referee and pointed to the penalty area to remind him that Christopher's defense was definitely a foul. Rooney is also complaining about Abangraho, although he made a gesture to let Abangraho pass to himself when Christopher rushed to Abangraho.

The referee's protest to Wood just waved his hand, indicating that he was very clear, don't say more.

Dunn was also very angry off the court, but the person who suffered his roar and saliva was the fourth official.

"Please trust the referee's decision, not every time you fall to the ground is a foul..." In the face of the head coach who was described as a devil by the media, the fourth official was a little lacking in confidence when he said this.

"So I support using electronic eyes instead of referees! People will make mistakes!" Dunn shook off these words and walked back angrily. He knew that no matter how much he made trouble, he would not return the penalty, and the penalty made by the referee was not allowed to be changed. The fourth official was just to vent his dissatisfaction, and it was not good for health...

※※※

England still didn't get a penalty kick, and the Italian escaped. They began to pay attention to the close marking of Abang Raho, and no longer gave him free space. The idiot could see that the sleepwalker was gradually waking up. Not to mention Lippi was dissatisfied with Italy's defensive performance just off the court, reminding them to pay attention to the defense of Abangrajo.

They still think that as long as Abangraho is not given room to sprint and dribble, he has no threat.

Dunn began to call Walcott's name off the court. Walcott, who returned from injury in the first half, was not active enough.

"Get the ball more, what are you afraid of? More crosses...lower!"

"George! Let's do something with him... yes yes, that's it!"

Walcott and Wood played a two-by-one match on the wing and then ran forward, while Wood passed him an overhead ball, bypassing Vital's defense.

After receiving Wood's pass, Walcott made a pass. Rooney grabs a spot in the middle, but he obviously can't compete with Italy's entire defense alone. The football was knocked out by Chiellini.

Although this offense did not work, Dunn still applauded the players' performance off the court.

England fans are also applauding. Because the strong offensive shown by England has completely suppressed the Italian team.

The Italian commentator did not think so: "I think the current situation is good for us. The more the English attack, the greater our hope of winning. When Lippi decided to counterattack defensively, I was worried about the England team. It’s not going to attack, so we can’t win the game. Now it’s alright. One side actively cooperates. I think the game will be over in 90 minutes..."

※※※

After Walcott and Downing added crosses from the side, Abang Raho seemed to be the forgotten again. He doesn't have excellent header skills, and he doesn't have an advantage in jumping for the top. Rooney often appears in front of the goal to compete with the Italian defenders.

But Abangraho himself did not give up, he is still looking for a chance to score. It was like a hunter, patiently waiting for the rabbit to appear in front of him.

When Walcott again broke through with the ball, the Italian defenders were divided into two parts, one to prevent him from breaking through and the other to keep an eye on Rooney and Gerrard.

This time Walcott did not simply overtake by speed, and then crossed from the bottom. He made a false move to pass, tricked Vital out of the center of gravity, but suddenly knocked the football past Vital's legs, and then used his flexible figure to pass in front of Vital Go around.

"The beautiful ball is passed!"

Walcott, who broke through Vital, made Italy's defense very tense because there were cracks in their defense. Walcott can either continue to break on his own, or pass now, or even hit the goal directly.

Chiellini rushed to Walcott. Although Rooney is very important, he must always remember that the player with the ball is the most dangerous when defending.

Walcott passed the ball while he caught up, not to Rooney, nor to Gerrard, but to Abangraho who was dragged near the penalty spot!

Abangraho is not unmarked, Aquilani is next to him. Seeing him catch the ball, he stepped forward to interfere.

Abangraho kicked his foot to make a shot, and Aquilani threw his weight out.

This is almost instinct. Abangraho didn't even think about why he received the ball and what he should do next. Seeing that Aquilani's center of gravity was swayed, he swiped the football to the left, out of the angle. It just seems that there is more than one trouble...

Just out of Aquilani, De Rossi appeared in front of Abangrajo again, blocking the angle of his shot.

Abang Raho once again kicked his feet and hit the door. This time De Rossi was not fooled. He stood still and did not move...

"He should pass the ball! Rooney is asking for the ball!"

"The hesitant behavior will lead to the failure of this attack. He has no angle and space to shoot..."

"Our defense was very successful. Abangraho now either passes the ball or waits for it to be intercepted!"

De Rossi thought that Abangraho must be a fake this time, but he didn't expect that when Abangraho's right foot was pulled down, he really hit the football...

This is a very concealed shot. Abangraho stabbed the football with his toe while swinging his leg in place and unable to exert force. In order to exert as much force as possible, his body then leaned back and gave a boost.

The football, stabbed by the toe, flew straight through between De Rossi's legs to the goal.

De Rossi's position blocked the angle of Abangraho's shot, but he couldn't narrow the gap between his legs, and instead blocked the goalkeeper Amelia's sight. When Amelia saw the football flying towards the goal near the goal post, he had no time to make any saves. He could only turn the boss to send the football to the goal, and prayed in his heart not to enter the goal. It flew out against the goalpost...

Unfortunately, the prayers of the Italians were not heard by God and his elderly. The football flew into the goal against the goalpost!

"What?" The Italian hasn't reacted yet. From the standpoint of the stand, it seems that the football flew out of the goal against the goalpost and swept to the side net, giving people the illusion of a goal. But when they saw the referee's gesture, they were all shocked-the referee pointed his finger to the center circle, that means the goal is effective!

"It's incredible! England has taken the lead!"

"Abangraho! Yes! He scored the first goal in the final! He helped England get the lead!"

"Faced with the blockade of two Italian players, Abangraho calmly shoots! Beautiful!"

At this moment, the commentators all changed their calibre and praised Abang Raho’s performance. No one asked whether he was qualified to start for Vaughan...

※※※

Outside the field, Dunn saw Abang Raho hit the football goal and jumped up excitedly, hugging Walker beside him.

Abang Raho's goal relieved himself and Dunn of a heavy burden. Even if Abangraho was replaced in the next game...or even more extreme, even if England eventually lost the final, no one would question Dunn's adjustment.

※※※

After the goal, Abang Raho was very excited. When he got up from the ground, he couldn't stand still and almost fell to the ground again. After staggering to the coach's bench, he and Dun En gave a warm hug. He must be grateful to the boss. If it wasn't for him to insist on putting himself on the court, if it wasn't for him to wake up himself off the court, then this European Cup final would be a regret for him forever in his career.

It's all right now. He scored the goal, but regret is gone. He is a striker who scored in the European Cup final. He can stand up and accept the scrutiny of others.

With practical actions, he proved that he has the qualifications and ability to represent England in the European Cup finals. No matter what Vaughan thinks, Abang Raho is a well-deserved starting forward at this time!

"Nice job, kid!" Dunn slapped Abang Raho on the back and growled in his ear.
