Chapter 129: Counter-injury trigger, super substitute! [Four thousand words combined chapter]
Of course, Joe Hart cannot be blamed for this goal.
This kind of ball has excellent speed and angle, and also carries a falling world wave, which is almost impossible to catch.
Not to mention Joe Hart, even top goalkeepers such as Buffon, Neuer and Casey would not be able to save this shot.
It can only be said that Hart still used the debuff effect of his own talent [World Wave Background Board].
Ordinary goals cannot enter his goal, and often only unexpected world waves can penetrate his fingers.
Besides, which goalkeeper has not been kicked into the world wave, but Hart has been kicked in more often.
Looking at Joe Hart who looked "numb", Ling Feng He had no choice but to suppress the smile in his heart and came to Hart:
"Qiao, it's okay! It's not your fault, you have done a good enough job!"
But at this time , as the captain of the team, Gerrard also clapped, raised his arms, and encouraged his absent-minded teammates:
"Guys, cheer up! The score is just equalized, we just need to score one more!"
He has encountered the desperate situation of being advanced by three, and now it is just the equalized score. Something.
Football is actually very simple. As long as you score one more goal than your opponent, you can win the game!
With Ronaldo's shocking world wave, Colombia equalized the score in the 53rd minute of the second half.
The two sides are back on the same starting line again.
However, after equalizing the score, Colombia's morale soared, and every player seemed to be on fire to pursue the victory.
It seems that the England players have not yet reacted due to the impact of this world wave, and they are not very focused.
With Colombia's crazy pressing in the frontcourt, Jagielka made a long pass in panic, but passed the ball to his opponent, easily giving up the ball.
Colombia, which gained the ball again, continued to launch a fierce offensive.
Seeing signs of losing control in the backcourt, Ling Feng quickly called on the two wingers to retreat to the midfield, changing the formation to 451, trying to withstand Colombia's onslaught as much as possible.
However, the house leaked and it rained all night
In the 62nd minute of the game, England suffered another blow!
Rooney, who opened the scoring for the team in this game, accidentally strained his thigh while pressing the Colombian defender in the frontcourt.
Although he persisted on the field for a few minutes, he still sat down on the turf without confrontation.
After the referee stopped the game, Ling Feng immediately came to Rooney and said with concern:
"Wayne, are you okay?"
The latter just shook his head, touched the back of his left thigh, and replied helplessly:
"It's probably a strain. ”
After that, he clenched his fist fiercely, smashed it into the grass, and cursed very unwillingly:
“Damn it!”
The team doctor entered the field with a medical bag, examined him carefully, and made a diagnosis of a minor thigh muscle strain.
The thigh is slightly strained. Although it is not a serious injury, it will only take a week or two to recover quickly.
However, we definitely cannot continue to compete.
Seeing the team doctor making a substitution gesture, the anxious Hodgson had to turn around and discuss with his assistant.
“Who shall we replace?”
There are three forwards on the bench.
Welbeck, Lambert, Vardy.
At this critical moment of bayonet fighting, who should be sent on the battlefield?
Welbeck?
He once scored a buzzer beater in the European Cup against Sweden in the group stage.
Lambert?
Send him up, and then let the two wingers pass the ball directly for a header bombing?
Or is it Vardy, who is a club teammate with Ling Feng and has a good understanding?
After thinking for a few seconds, he decided to put the treasure on Vardy!
In his opinion, Colombia's center back partner turns slowly and can use Vardy's impact to hit behind the defender.
Moreover, Vardy's pressing enthusiasm and aggressiveness are stronger than the other two.
The most important thing is that he and Ling Feng are club teammates and have a better understanding.
In the first round against Italy, it was Ling Feng's volley that allowed Vardy to score the equalizer and gain a valuable point.
Without that point, they might not be able to qualify!
After the discussion, assistant coach Livington waved to Vardy who was warming up on the sidelines:
"Jamie, change your clothes and come on!"
Hearing this, Vardy's eyes lit up and he immediately responded:
"Yes, coach!"
He quickly ran back to the bench. He took off his vest, put on his No. 21 jersey, and came to the sidelines.
Seeing the fourth official on the sidelines holding up the substitution card, Rooney came to Ling Feng and hugged him.
"Next, it's up to you."
Ling Feng didn't speak, but nodded firmly.
Amidst the warm applause, Rooney slowly walked to the sidelines and high-fived Vardy, who trotted into the field!
"England was forced to make substitution adjustments, replacing No. 10 Wayne Rooney and replacing No. 21 Jamie Vardy!"
"The 27-year-old Vardy Dee has had a perfect season this season, not only helping Leicester City win the Championship and FA Cup, but also winning the Championship Golden Boot with a record-breaking number of goals.”
< br>
"In the first round against Italy, it was he who helped the Three Lions equalize the score and gain a valuable point."
"Hodgson chose to play him, obviously because of his impact in the frontcourt. Strength and aggression."
While running past Ling Feng, the two high-fived.
Vardy came to the front of the formation and took a deep breath, but he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
In the crucial knockout round of the World Cup, when the team's main forward was injured and the team was overwhelmed by opponents, the head coach chose to trust himself and put himself on the field.
This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He couldn't help but secretly make up his mind to perform well and shine his own light as much as possible on this great stage!
However, after Vardy came on the court, he had no chance to touch the ball at all.
Because, in the next ten minutes, Colombia still controlled the ball and kept suppressing England in the half.
Even so, he still resolutely carried out the instructions of the head coach, constantly running in the frontcourt, constantly pressing the players with the ball, and becoming the first line of defense for England's entire defensive formation!
Seeing this, Ling Feng also took the initiative to step forward and join Vardy in the pressure.
England's overall formation also changed from 451 to 442.
With the Leicester City twins exerting physical pressure in the frontcourt, Colombia's two midfielders did not dare to hold the ball for too long and played the ball as quickly as possible, resulting in many passes. Mistakes.
In this way, England's defensive pressure in the midfield and backfield has also been relieved.
Since Ronaldo was heavily guarded in the frontcourt, and both defensive midfielders were restrained by Ling Feng and Vardy, Colombia could only use the full-backs to pass the ball directly to the feet of the two wingers. Hopefully Cuadrado and Martinez can tear apart the defense.
However, under England's eight-man zone defense tactics in the midfield and backfield, Colombia's two wingers had to face two to three people's defense every time they got the ball, and there was not much space or opportunity for breakthroughs.
After a few attempts, the winger could only pass the ball back to the center and continue looking for space. In this way, the game reached a stalemate.
Although Colombia held England in half, they were never able to create a good opportunity and could only continue to patiently control the ball.
And England also gave away the ball, quietly waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
Until the 73rd minute of the game, Cuadrado tried to break through on the right, and then forced a pass, but it hit the left back Baines' foot and bounced out of the baseline.
Colombia received a valuable corner kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.
When the situation cannot be opened in sports battles, set kicks are one of the ways to break the situation.
As a result, Colombia's two central defenders came to the penalty area from the backcourt, preparing to compete for the header.
Only two full-backs are left in the backcourt to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.
Seeing this, Ling Feng, who returned to the top of the penalty area, couldn't help shouting Vardy's name:
"Jamie!"
Looking around, Vardy saw Ling Feng. He raised an eyebrow at himself.
The tacit understanding established in each game made him immediately understand Ling Feng's intention and nodded.
J Luo took the penalty and hoisted the ball directly into the penalty area.
Colombian captain Yepez jumped up and, under the interference of Cahill beside him, hit the ball.
Only a "duang" sound was heard, the ball hit the crossbar of the goal and bounced out.
In an instant, the restricted area was in chaos.
In the end, Gerrard returned to the front of the penalty area and kicked the ball to the left immediately.
The moment Gerald made the rescue, Ling Feng had already started running forward.
Based on his judgment of the landing point of the high-altitude ball, he immediately sprinted towards the ball rolling to the left sideline with all his strength!
Seeing this, Colombian right back Zuniga, who stayed in the backcourt, also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Once Ling Feng gets this ball, the consequences will be disastrous!
His feet were faster than his thoughts, and he accelerated towards the ball without hesitation.
However, Ling Feng is faster in the short distance sprint!
Before the ball was about to slip out of the sideline, he stretched out his long legs to retrieve it and saved the ball.
However, Suniga also killed in front of him.
Facing Suniga, who was blocking his passing route, Ling Feng directly pushed the ball out with his instep, followed by a soup!
“So fast!”
Seeing that Ling Feng was about to make soup by him, Suniga didn’t have time to hesitate and put the shovel directly from the side and behind.
His idea is simple:
For the victory of the team and for my country, even if the ball passes, you can't!
In this flash of lightning, when Ling Feng was about to make a dodge, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Ding! 】
【A malicious shoveling action is detected, and the counter-damage card is triggered! 】
The next second, just as Suniga hit Ling Feng's ankle with a scissor shovel, a shrill scream suddenly sounded!
“Ah!”
However, this scream did not come from the mouth of Ling Feng who was shoveled, but from the mouth of Suniga who released the shovel!
Ling Feng just stumbled a little, then straight away kicked forward and sent a through ball.
After Suniga was shoveled, he curled up on the ground like a cooked prawn, clutching his right leg and ankle, with a look of pain on his face.
Witnessing the close contact between the two, the referee did not blow the whistle, but raised his hands forward to indicate that the offense was favorable.
The through ball sent by Ling Feng at the end accurately found Vardy who successfully countered offside.
The latter gets a super single-handed opportunity.
Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Vardy did not live up to the trust of his coach and teammates and shot low.
The ball flew past Ospina's left armpit and went straight into the lower left corner of the goal behind him!
Suddenly, the stadium erupted into amazing cheers again!
"Oh!"
"Beautiful counterattack! Beautiful shot!"
"This was just Jamie Vardy's first touch of the ball! He just Help England take the lead again!”
“Score on the spot, two to one”
Vardy, who came on as a substitute ten minutes ago, scored his second goal of this World Cup with his first touch of the ball!
This older forward, who was only selected for the national team for the first time at the age of 27 and made his debut on the World Cup stage, has become England's super substitute!
His goal helped the Three Lions gain the lead again in the crucial knockout round!
After the referee blew the whistle that the goal was valid, the Colombian players wearing yellow jerseys immediately swarmed in front of the referee like a swarm of swarms to protest.
In their opinion, after Ling Feng came into contact with Suniga, Suniga fell to the ground in pain, but Ling Feng was fine. Ling Feng must have committed some secret foul!
"He was on the wing just now, he must have committed a foul!"
"That's right!"
"This goal should be invalid!"
However, the entire flying tackle process The referee, who could see clearly, just raised his hand to signal the Colombian players to stay away from him, and explained in a deep voice:
“I can see clearly that it was your players who tackled England’s 15. Player No. and injured himself”
Finally, after the referee showed a yellow card to the emotional Zapata and Ronaldo each, the Colombian generals dispersed angrily.
“Jamie, great job!”
“I knew you could pass it on!”
“You two did such a great job!”
While the Three Lions were celebrating this crucial goal, live broadcast signals from various countries around the world also began to play replays of the entire goal.
The replay begins with Gerrard clearing the ball, to Ling Feng making contact with Zuniga near the sideline, and finally to Vardy making a diagonal pass to surpass the last Colombian player and getting a single chance
“Let’s take a look at just now What happened on the wing.”
Through the replay, both the coaching staff of Colombia and England, as well as viewers around the world, will see clearly what happened on the wing.
In short, Suniga tackled Ling Feng's foot from the side and behind, but did not cause any damage to the latter. Instead, he sprained his right ankle!
“Oh!”
"This action is too dangerous. Fortunately, Ling was not injured."
"This action is definitely a red card!"
After watching the replay of the entire goal through the tablet, the Colombian coach and substitute The players no longer dared to complain to the fourth official.
Because this flying shovel is very dangerous and bad.
Fortunately, Ling Feng was not injured, otherwise, it would not be impossible for him to be directly eliminated.
Therefore, when Zuniga was carried off the field on a stretcher by the team doctor, the referee did not forget to give him a yellow card for his flying tackle just now.
Seeing this, Ling Feng, who had just celebrated with his teammates, had a calm expression.
But I couldn’t help but sneer in my heart.
Let you shovel me!
That’s right!
Then, Ling Feng suddenly thought of something:
Zuniga seems to be the guy who injured Neymar in this World Cup, right?
Now that he is injured and off the field, will the incident of Neymar being injured by him not happen?
