Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 985: Seven minutes of the heart of the lion king

When the Italians scored the first goal, their players would also run to the center circle holding the football, hoping that the game would start soon. After they scored this second goal, they just hugged and celebrated together. The football fell alone in the goal, and no one would care about it.

Because they are now ahead, it is them who need to delay the game.

Dunn only cursed a few words from the sidelines, and he recovered from the emotion of losing the ball. Standing on the sidelines, he kept waving his hands to signal the players to cheer up, put the football in the middle circle, and prepare to kick-off.

For the England team, this is really a little time delay...

Excluding injury time, they only have less than eighteen minutes.

"Now the England team is pushed to a desperate situation by the Italian team. It was originally a goal that turned into a goal behind. In these last twenty minutes, let us see what Tony Dunn can do!"

What can he do? It is nothing more than to strengthen the offense, while being careful of the Italian team's defensive counterattack.

The Italian team certainly knows that England will attack if they fall behind, and now they have the initiative. They can retreat and play defensive counterattacks grandiosely, and that's what Lippi and Italy do best.

※※※

The performance of the English players in this quarter is not satisfactory. For the reality of conceding two goals in two minutes, many people have been hit hard, the concealment came too fast, and everyone has not done enough. Mental preparation...

In the next game, Dunn's "strengthening offense" didn't show up at all, but he was a little at a loss in the second half.

The Italian originally planned to strengthen the offensive while the English did not react, and strive to score another goal to completely seal the victory. So they bombarded England's penalty area, and for a time Joe Hart became the busiest player on the field.

"De Rossi's long shot! Too bad..."

"Jovenko broke through... passed! Beautiful! He shot... was stopped by Joe Hart..."

"Paroski's long shot is higher than the goal... he should pass to Forty's next to..."

"In the face of George Wood, Balotelli did not flinch. He wanted to force a breakthrough... Wood fouled! Free kick! Great! The Italian team won another free kick!"

Faced with such a situation, Wood can only shook his head helplessly. He is not a superman. No matter how good a person plays, it is useless without the support of his teammates.

This situation made him feel angry, did he just admit defeat?

Balotelli got another chance to take a free kick. Italian fans are full of expectations. They want to see Balotelli use a free kick to score twice in the game. These people have completely forgotten that they had complained before Lippi put him in a "wasted opportunity".

"Super Mario! Super Mario!! Oh!" Italian fans chanted Balotelli's name from the stands.

The English fans became nervous. They were still booing to disturb Balotelli, but they didn't know what effect this had...

Dunn stood on the sidelines, biting his lip and staring at Balotelli on the court. His heart was beating desperately in his chest, quickly uncontrollable. But he can no longer take care of the heart problem.

Balotelli runs up, kicks... the football bypassed the wall and flew straight to the goal. Joe Hart fought hard and did not touch the football. The football did not fall into the goal, but flew directly over the crossbar.

so close!

Dunn let out a breath. Like him there are a number of England fans.

※※※

When the game entered the eighty minutes, England's counterattack still did not improve, but the Italian team became more and more vigorous. After the lead, they relaxed and played all the moves.

Those fans in the UK stared at the TV screen, for fear that if they missed a certain shot, it would become a critical moment to rewrite the final trend of the game.

England's performance made them a little depressed, but they did not give up hope. After all, there are ten minutes in the game, but only one goal. still have a chance.

※※※

Lippi looked at his watch. It was the eighty minute. He looked at the situation on the court again and decided to be cautious. In this way, if there is a loophole in the backcourt, and the England team catches and scores a goal, it will be all over... Tony Dunn is so cunning, how could he not exert his strength at the last moment?

So he walked to the sidelines, signaled to the people inside to shrink the line of defense, and started to hold firmly, dragging it to the end of the game was a victory.

The defensive pressure on the England team is light, and they know that it's the last moment.

The Italians recycled it, what shall we do? This hardly needs to be considered, of course it is an offense!

Dunn stood on the sidelines, calling out Vaughan's name. It's been ten minutes since I changed it. This kid hasn't done anything yet...

"James! Remember your mission!?"

Of course Vaughan still remembers, but his team was compressed into his penalty area before, and he has no chance to counterattack. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot kick the ball directly into the opponent's goal from his penalty area...

In fact, even if Dunn didn't remind him, he knew he was going to use his strength. Abang Raho started with a goal. He is considered to be a loud starter before the game, but he has not done anything. If the England team loses the game, it has a lot to do with him... People will think: If Abangraho is still on the court, he will Will you not lose this game?

Lippi was also a little surprised that Dunn returned Vaughn in the last twenty minutes. But then his team completed the reversal, so he didn't care much about it. At this time, there were only ten minutes left in the game. As long as he could hold on, it would be useless to replace him with eleven Maradona.

Lippi then replaced Giovenco with defender Fabiano Santacroce (Fabiano_Santacroce). On the one hand, Giovenco was out of energy, and on the other hand, he now needs to strengthen his defense. Now Italy is playing 532, and the three central defenders make England's offense impossible.

In the last ten minutes of the game, the Italian team began to do everything possible to kill time.

As long as you touch it, you fall, and you don’t want to get up when you fall. In just two minutes, three players have cramped and fell to the ground.

Dunn was very angry about this, and he negotiated with the fourth official off the court. The fourth official was also helpless: "We can't pull them up forcibly, right?"

"Why not! They are obviously wasting time!" Dunn glared at the fourth official. If he wants to play on the court instead, in such a situation, I'm afraid he will go straight up and drag the opponent player who fell to the ground to the outside of the court...

The fourth official had nothing to say about this unreasonable head coach. Then stop talking, so as not to waste saliva.

Dunn’s image at this time is not pretty. The suit was thrown on the ground by him a long time ago, and he hasn’t picked it up—he can’t take care of it—the tie he was wearing was also torn off by him. Opened, the sleeves were rolled up, and the front of the back was soaked with sweat, like a gambler in a hurry.

On the contrary, Lippi sits firmly on the Diaoyutai. On his face, you still don't see any expressions. It seems that you are not worried about Italy, but you are not happy for the lead. The old gentleman didn't even have a mess of his hair. His silver hair clung to his scalp, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses reflected the lights above the court, making his eyes unclear.

These two people froze, and it was a special scenery on the sidelines, which attracted people's attention.

Dunn is not only competing with the fourth official. He turned around and called out Bentley from the bench and asked him to replace Gerrard, then England switched to 433, Walcott focused on playing the winger, leaving Vaughan in the center.

When it comes to substitution with the Italian team, people are slow down. Gerrard trot all the way to the sidelines, and after high-fiving Bentley, he switched to a handover without wasting any time in the whole process.

Seeing Tang En's transformation into 433, the Chinese narrator said, "This is a ruin. If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. Tang En seems to have no other consideration at all."

What kind of overtime, what kind of penalty shootout, this kind of time to consider those are simply stupid. If you don't score, there will be no overtime and no penalty kicks at all!

After Bentley ran on the field, he shouted to his teammates: "The boss asked me to tell you that there are only five minutes in the final!!" He opened his right hand and five fingers. It was the eighty-fifth minute of the game. As for injury time or something, Dunn didn't even think about it.

As if the alarm bell was ringing in the hearts of every English player, "there are only five minutes in the final" made them feel the urgency of time, and each of them reddened their eyes: how can they fall down after all the matches are here. Before the championship trophy?

Even Terry overwhelmed the half-court and didn't even think about defense or something.

England's offensive rushed to Italy's goal like a tide.

"James Vaughan, he got a header...too right!"

"George Wood has a long shot! It's high! It's a pity... Maybe he should be steady..."

"Walcott broke through, pass! Wayne Rooney shot!"

Rooney shot the ball on the near post and hit Chiellini again when he bounced back. He was about to bounce to the goal again, but Amelia punched it out, shocking the Italian. All in a cold sweat.

England won a corner kick. Both Terry and Taylor, the two central defenders, ran to the Italian team. After Bentley drove the ball out, Terry sprinted to the top!

The football flew straight to the near corner and was about to cross the goal line, but Amelia magically slapped the football out of the palm of two people!

Didn't enter again!

Balotelli took the ball and was ready to fight the England counterattack, but his ball was intercepted by Wood. Wood who intercepted the ball turned around and sent the football to the front. Fortunately, the Italian team didn't really want to fight back, otherwise Wood would be caught off guard at this time.

After England regained possession of the ball, it was handed over to another winger Cohen. On the breakthrough, Cohen was not as good as Walcott, so he passed directly from the foot. This time the football was held directly by Amelia. The stormy offensive in England came to an end.

In this suffocating offensive frenzy, the game has quietly reached the ground for 89 minutes.

Since putting Bentley on the court, Dunn has stood on the sidelines, motionless. Like a statue.

In his coaching career, such moments are not uncommon. Sometimes his team eventually evened the score and even completed a big reversal, but sometimes his team didn't create any miracles and lost the game.

What kind of situation will it be this time?

Beside him, the fourth official walked out with an electronic digital card. An Italian defender also followed him. Dunn glanced at it. At this time, there was only one purpose for the substitution-to delay the game time and let time pass in this dull substitution.

Paroski walked down three times, shook hands with this teammate, hugged that teammate again, and then stopped and turned around, raising his hands to applaud the fans... Dunn who saw this scene Angrily gritted his teeth and protested loudly below: "Why don't you have to crawl? Italian! You eggless turtle, bastard!"

It's a pity that Paloski didn't understand Dunn's strong English, but the referee also discovered the other party's intention to delay the game. It was so obviously intolerable... He rushed forward and showed Palosky. Yellow card.

This yellow card allowed Paloski to catch a legitimate excuse for delaying time. He was very dissatisfied with the penalty and protested to the referee, wanting to take this opportunity to waste more time.

At this time, Paroski had almost reached the sidelines, waiting to replace him, Lorenzo De Silvestri (Lorenzo_De_Silvestri) and him were just a step away, but he was not in a hurry to come on. Wait for Paloski to come and give him a high-five.

The Italian deliberately delayed the game time, Dunn couldn't stand it anymore. He dashed forward and grabbed Palowski's arm. Paloski, who was caught off guard, was dragged off by Dunn!

Paros, who was dragged out of the court by Dun En, basically wanted to get angry, but when he turned around, he saw Dun En glaring at him. His hideous appearance shocked him, and he didn’t know what to say... At the end of the day, he had to complete the handover with Silvestri under Dunn's glare, and walked to the bench for the Italian team.

Dunn's actions certainly summoned him a verbal reprimand from the referee, but he didn't care. If the referee does not act, he will come for the heavens!

※※※

Just after completing this replacement, the fourth official put down the electronic digital card, pressed it for a while, and raised it again. This time it's time to announce stoppage time.

"Five minutes of stoppage time!"

The English fans booed a lot. For them, the Italian players have delayed the game many times just now. It is too little to make up for five minutes in injury time. It should be ten minutes of stoppage time!

The fans of the Italian team were also upset about the five minutes stoppage time-too long! As usual, just make up for three minutes...

Dunn compared five fingers to the inside.

This time the final is only five minutes away...
