Young Football Player

Speaking of it, this is the first time that Lee Chenglong has worn the captain's armband so far in his career.

At this moment, Li Chenglong actually felt a little burdened.

At this time, the commentators of various countries also noticed what happened on the sidelines.

"Gerrard was sent off, but he put the captain's armband on Bruce Lee's arm, not Rooney, the vice-captain."

"Maybe in Gerrard's heart, he feels that Li is more trustworthy."

In football matches, it is relatively common for the captain to be sent off or replaced.

When the captain leaves the field, there is actually no special rule on whether to give the captain's armband to the vice-captain or someone else.

Whether it is handed over directly to the vice-captain or to other players with more leadership in the team, this is all possible, and it has happened many times on the court.

So now that Gerrard handed over the captain's armband to Li Chenglong, it can be regarded as his recognition, and I believe he can lead the team to win the game.

But it is this kind of trust that makes Li Chenglong feel pressured.

In the next half an hour, England will face one less player.

If you want to play overtime, it will be longer if you play one player less.

No one dared to say that it was guaranteed to win the game with one less player.

But if this game is not won, wouldn't it be a disappointment to Gerrard's trust?

And Li Chenglong also noticed that when Gerrard gave him the captain's armband just now, Hodgson on the sidelines obviously had a bad face.

He may be dissatisfied with Gerrard's "self-assertion", thinking that Gerrard should follow the "rules" and give the armband to Rooney.

But dissatisfied is not satisfied, Hodgson immediately made a substitution, let Lampard replace the teenager Sterling, and asked the team to be as conservative as possible in the future, hoping to keep this one goal lead.

After the game restarted, Greece, which had the advantage of having one more player, really launched a massive attack.

And the effect was very good, they quickly equalized the score.

In the 68th minute, the Greek created a corner kick through a cross, and then Papastathopoulos found a chance in the corner kick and beat Smalling to complete the header.

"It's just too bad, that shitty Portuguese referee, he made us play one less man and then it was equalized."

"If this continues, we may even lose the game, a game that should have been easily won."

The England commentator was cursing, the Greek commentator was cheering, and the other commentators said something funny about the goal.

"The name Papastathopoulos is too long, with a full sixteen letters, making it difficult for us to pronounce."

"However, this goal also created a world record. Papastathopoulos became the player with the longest name in the World Cup."

The Greeks saw that the effect of playing one more player was obvious, and immediately equalized the score. This also gave them more ideas, for example, to make persistent efforts to win England and continue to create a new record in team history.

So in the 73rd minute, Greece made another substitution, replacing the veteran Yekas.

This substitution allowed the German commentator to find a talking point.

"Jekas is on the field,

This game has officially turned into a civil war for the Bundesliga Golden Boot, with two Bundesliga Golden Boot winners on the field at the same time. "

During the Bundesliga Bochum season, Jekas unexpectedly won the Bundesliga Golden Boot with 20 goals, so at this time there are two Bundesliga Golden Boots, Lee Jackie and Jekas.

But now Yekas is 34 years old and not too threatening.

On the contrary, England took advantage of the loophole of the opponent's massive pressure and played a beautiful counterattack.

In the 77th minute, Lampard stole the ball in the backcourt and found Li Chenglong accurately with a beautiful through ball.

Li Chenglong received the ball and accelerated, directly throwing away the opponent's midfielder Maniatis, and then passed the opponent's defender Papastathopoulos who had just scored in the frontcourt, and completed a push in the penalty area.

Li Chenglong's push was very fast. He passed under the armpit of the Greek goalkeeper Kanesis first, and was about to roll into the goal, but it hit the near post.

Although it hit the inside of the near post, it failed to bounce into the goal, but bounced obliquely back into the penalty area, and was cleared by Manolas who arrived in time.

"It's a pity, this is a very good counterattack opportunity, but it's just a little bit of luck." The England commentator almost beat his chest.

Although he failed to score a goal, it had the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

Next, the Greek team did not dare to attack so aggressively anymore, they learned to restrain themselves properly.

But in general, Greece, which has a numerical advantage, still has an advantage on the scene.

Of course, this advantage is not enough to help them create scoring opportunities.

So the two teams began to see-saw back and forth like Tai Chi, but they didn't make any threats.

For England, the lack of one player greatly limits the team, and it is not bad to be able to maintain this situation.

As for Greece, they have already tied the score, and there is no need to worry, so as not to give their opponents another chance.

In football, a strong team finally wins a weak team with one less player. That has happened many times, and the Greeks don't want to be that background board.

So the game time is passing quickly, and soon the regular time will be over.

"The game time has entered 90 minutes, and it seems that this game will enter overtime again."

"Of the three rounds of 16 knockout games that have been played before, two of them were played in overtime. This probably cannot be avoided."

The game was still going on, and the fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign to signal that there would be three minutes of stoppage time, which is a standard stoppage time for injuries.

In the 91st minute, the first minute of stoppage time, Sturridge dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and collided with the opponent's defender a little to the right in front of the penalty area.

"That's a flop, that guy is a liar." The Greek commentator shouted immediately.

Regular time is coming to an end, and they certainly don't want to give it a chance at this time.

"Free kick, free kick made by Sturridge, we still have a chance, and Bruce still has a chance!" The England commentator immediately became excited.

If a goal can be scored at this time, it will be undoubtedly a lore, and England will not have to play that uncertain overtime.

In this World Cup, FIFA used the free kick foam spray for the first time, which can fix the location of the free kick and the arrangement of the human wall as soon as the free kick is generated.

In the previous free kicks, there would always be a situation where the referee turned around and the defender would sneak forward to move the wall, which was not good for the player who took the free kick.

Now with this foam spray, this problem can be avoided to the greatest extent.

"Although there is free kick foam spray, the number of free kicks scored in this World Cup has actually decreased."

"Up to now, there have been only two free kicks in the World Cup in Brazil, scored by Argentina's Messi and Switzerland's Zema Yili."

"According to the analysis of football data experts, the reduction of free kick goals in this World Cup is mainly caused by the characteristics of the game ball. The Brazil World Cup game ball 'Samba Glory' requires high skills to make it spin. , so it led to a reduction in free-kick goals."

"This time, I don't know if Bruce Lee, who is known as a master of free kicks, can spin the ball and make use of free kicks..."

Between the comments of the commentator, the Portuguese referee had already sprayed the foam.

Jackie Lee placed the ball at the penalty spot, and the Greek players also lined up the wall.

Although the position of this free kick is a bit to the right, it is not a big problem.

Li Chenglong knew that this opportunity should be grasped as much as possible.

England is a numerically disadvantaged side, and try not to play extra time if they can.

Proenka blew the whistle, Li Chenglong took a deep breath, kicked the ground hard with his feet to run up, and the ball was shot on the inside of his right foot.

The ball took off rapidly and flew over the head of Manolas in the Greek team's wall, seeming to take the opponent's hair away after taking off.

The ball drew a small arc in the air, without much rotation, and flew quickly and directly to the upper right corner of the opponent's goal.

The Greek goalkeeper Kanesis immediately flew over. Although he stretched his body and straightened his arms as much as possible in the air, he still felt that his arms were a little shorter.

The ball passed his fingertips, and flew in from the angle between the crossbeam and the post at an extreme limit. Kanesis seemed to be able to hear the sound of the friction between the ball and the crossbeam and post.

"Goooooooooooal~~~~~~~~" At this time, the commentators all over the world shouted excitedly.

"Super Bruce~~~~~ He scored again~~~~ A very beautiful free kick!!"

"Bruce Lee hit a wonderful free kick, this is a lore goal, he lore Greece!!"

"No one expected that the third free kick in this World Cup would happen like this, it was directly a lore free kick!"

After Li Chenglong scored the lore free kick, he ran to the sidelines slowly, and wanted to make a feisty celebration.

But the excited England teammates all rushed over and jumped on him one by one. Everyone rolled into a ball on the sidelines, shouting wildly and celebrating.

At this time, the England commentator continued to shout and celebrate.

"Bruce, I knew he could do it. He will never disappoint!"

"With one less player, we still beat the opponent. I think that's why Steven gave Lee the captain's armband. He is trustworthy."

"It's Bruce's sixth World Cup goal, tying Gary Lineker's record for a World Cup goal in a single season."

At this time, the Greek commentary is constantly sighing.

"When the guy in the No. 7 jersey stood at the free-kick, I knew something was going to go wrong."

"Thirteen years ago, there was a guy in the No. 7 jersey, and he scored us with a free kick at the end of the game."

"It's just that it was an absolute tie that time, and this time it is a lore."

"We're always victims."
