Chapter 1154 Captain's Responsibility!
Watching the England players celebrating excitedly on the field, Yun Sheng on the sidelines squeezed the water bottle vigorously.
This conceded goal was so fucking sudden...
In fact, from the team's 3-1 start, everyone's defense was good. Although the players were a little conservative and wanted to be more stable, there was nothing wrong with that. Yunsheng also acquiesced in the flexible adjustment of the players on the court, which was allowed by Yunsheng during training.
But whether it was Gerrard's long-range shot just now or Henderson's supplementary shot now, all have a lot of luck, not the player's problem.
But conceding a goal is conceding a goal. Facing such a resilient England team, Yun Sheng could only be convinced. What he is most worried about now is that the Italian players must not be discouraged. If the momentum is down, then the game will really be over.
At this time, he shouted the names of the players loudly on the sidelines, but very few could hear his voice.
Amidst the cheers and celebrations of England fans, Yunsheng's shouts were like a drop in the ocean, insignificant.
Despite this, the Italian players on the field gathered together and were reporting to the group to keep warm.
Especially the three captains Del Piero, Buffon and De Rossi, they all loudly encouraged their teammates.
"There is still time before the end of the game, and we can go ahead again!"
Piero encouraged his teammates loudly, Buffon was chatting with the defensive players, and De Rossi called Pirlo and Marchisio to discuss tactics.
On the sidelines of the court, Yun Sheng was also quickly thinking about the next strategy.
Now the game came to 86 minutes, the game restarted.
After the re-kick-off, Pirlo and Marchisio took on the defensive task, and they let De Rossi press as much as possible to help the offensive end.
And because of left back Chiellini's injury, Yunsheng replaced him with Grosso, and arranged for Grosso to use his abundant physical strength to press as much as possible to help the offense.
And 1 minute later, Yunsheng also replaced Montolivo.
Just after being hit by Gerrard's heavy bombardment, Montolivo kept holding his chest, and his running speed was much slower, which was obviously affected.
The speed player Giovinco was replaced on the field, replacing Montolivo, and appeared in the position of the right shadow forward. Yunsheng hoped that he could continue to attack England's defense.
On the England side, Welbeck, whose physical fitness was somewhat declining, was replaced by Carroll. Carroll was a standard British center forward. After he was replaced, England's tactics became more concise and clear. The traditional long pass has become their main tactic now.
After all, they tied the score and now they need to stabilize.
Both sides used up three substitutions, and it was the 89th minute of the game. The fourth official raised his card, and there were 3 minutes of stoppage time.
Cannavaro on the sidelines whispered: "It seems that we have to consider overtime in advance..."
Speed frowned: "The semi-finals will be in four days. The German team has two days more rest than us, and if we play overtime, we will fall behind them in physical fitness. This is very bad."
Although the situation was very tense at this time, Yun Sheng on the side smiled: "Guys, now that the competition is getting tense, are you thinking about the semi-finals in advance?"
"We will win this game!"
Seeing Speed's swearing appearance, Yun Sheng also nodded firmly: "I have a hunch, maybe we don't have to wait until overtime..."
At this time, the stoppage time has come to the second minute, and the end of the game is getting closer.
Now Italy is in control of the ball, and the new Giovinco has excellent dribbling skills. In addition, he has excellent physical fitness just now, so he is like a fish swimming in England's half, making England's defense extremely difficult.
And in the position close to the penalty area, England players did not dare to take a free kick easily. After all, the England team has many free kicks, and it would be troublesome to take a free kick easily at this time.
Giovinco dribbled the ball down the right flank, with England left-back Ashley Cole in front of him.
The former Cole was called "the world's number one left back" by fans who loved him, and he was well-known in England.
Although this title is debatable, in Arsenal's heyday, Cole's offensive and defensive abilities were indeed the world's top. Cole at his peak was at least the top three in the world, if not the first.
But facing this powerful Italian team today, he has already struggled, especially in terms of offense, and he has no more energy to press frequently.
At this time, 90 minutes had passed, and he was also physically exhausted in defense. Central defender Lescott frequently leaned to the left to help defend.Cole desperately defends the penalty area behind him, preventing Giovinco from cutting inside.
At this moment, Giovinco kicked suddenly!
Instead of shooting, he chose to pass!
At this time, he alone attracted the attention of two defensive backs, and the defense on the other side of England was empty!
The ball went straight to the left, and Grosso, who had just played not long ago, quickly advanced forward and received the ball!
He drove the ball into the penalty area!In the middle, Terry closely marked Balotelli, preventing the Italian center from receiving the ball!
Glenn Johnson hurried forward and pressed!
In the 2006 World Cup, Grosso chose to make a breakthrough in this position, and then made a very important penalty!
Because of that penalty, Italy narrowly beat Australia 1-0, taking an important step on the way to the championship!
At this time, Glenn Johnson didn't take a shot easily, he just stood in a good position, and he was given any chance to cut in and shoot!
Grosso made a sudden change of direction, but it was just a feint!
He didn't shoot, he chose to pass!
The inverted triangle is passed to the top of the arc in the penalty area!
Who is there?
The captains of both teams are at the top of the arc in the penalty area!
Gerrard was half a body behind, he simply shoveled, and would rather risk a foul than let Del Piero get the ball!
But Del Piero is one step faster, he accelerates forward, kicks and shoots without stopping the ball!
Del Piero kicked the ball first!
Curveball!Straight to the near corner!
Although Joe Hart tried his best to make a save, he missed the ball...
The ball went in! ! !
Del Piero volleys with his left foot and the ball hits the net, but his right leg is brought down by Gerrard...
Amidst the excited cheers of the Italian fans, Del Piero fell to the ground, feeling pain in his right foot.
But he was extremely happy in his heart!
The moment he kicked the ball, he knew very well that the Italian team had entered the semi-finals!
He fell to the ground, and the ground and the sky were reversed. He saw the Yunsheng crowd next to the Italian coach's bench, cheering excitedly and shouting crazily!
He was very excited to see tens of thousands of Italian fans in the stands celebrating wildly!
He saw his teammates hug each other excitedly, enjoying the excitement of taking the lead again!
45 minutes into the second half, I finally scored!
I have done my duty as captain!
