***********
Buffon has already struck, and he roars to strike!

He has guarded Italy for almost 100 minutes. This time, will this man named Gianluigi Buffon succeed? ! !
The answer was born in a second!
Owen volleys the far corner and scores!

Seeing the football spinning in the net, Owen felt that he was going crazy. He jumped excitedly at Li Rui who was standing there with his hands on his hips panting heavily. Li Rui, who was roaring and laughing, hugged Together, and then other England players, surrounded the two...

Everyone was yelling like crazy!

***********
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！球进了！！迈克尔（欧文）进球了！他进球了！伟大的进球！比钻石还要宝贵的进球！感谢李的传球和他在之前所做的努力！2:1！英格兰将比分再次超出！现在是全场比赛第104分钟，英格兰2:1意大利！”莱因克尔激动的喊着。

Half of the entire Ernst Hapoel Stadium was boiling erupting magma, and the other half was dead silent.

While the English fans cheered, screamed and celebrated the goal, the Italian fans fell silent.

This blow is too heavy. The loss of the ball in overtime is undoubtedly the most fatal. This is a great blow to the morale of the players. Moreover, the players' physical energy is exhausted at this time, and it is undoubtedly quite difficult to score goals. Yes, with the passage of time, the mood also began to be impatient and excited, which also means that hope is getting smaller and smaller...

***********
At this moment, in England's large and small pubs, people gathered together to watch the game nervously. Just now when Li Rui started to break through with the ball, even the most alcoholic alcoholic fans raised their hands. Cup, staring at the TV screen without blinking.

Everyone jumped up when they saw that Owen had received a pass from Li Rui, volleyed from the far corner, and surpassed the score again.

"Long live!!"

"Cheers! For England!!"

"Cheers, for Michael's (Owen) goal!!"

"Cheers, for Lee's assist!"

The sound of clinking wine glasses and the crazy noise from Ernst Hapoel Stadium from the TV are drinking together. For the fans, this is simply the happiest moment.Of course, if you can go to the scene to watch the game, it will definitely feel better.

***********
Mourinho jumped up from his seat when Li Rui staggered and suddenly passed the through ball that made people applaud, ready to cheer for the goal!
When Irving scored a one-handed goal, Mourinho shouted, "Goal! Goal! If you don't want to be on the bench, just score!!" This makes the 'madman' look more like a psychic.

When I saw Owen volley the far corner, the football entered the net from between the hands of Buffon who fell to the ground.

Mourinho raised his arms high and cheered loudly like a fanatical fan. At this moment, he could not see the calm posture of a head coach at all.

"Nice job! Lads!!"

***********
2: 1!

England once again exceeded the score! !

At this time, the commentators of some neutral countries were worried about the fate of Italy: "England scored a goal! Li Rui's breakthrough and scoring were the key to this goal. Irving looked calm again facing Buffon, and the goal was very good. Wonderful, the score is Italy 1:2 England!! This score will definitely make Italian fans fearful, one goal behind, which makes Italy have to attack with all its strength."

"That's right. Just now Barzagli replaced Grosso, obviously to strengthen the defense. Donadoni seems to want to defend the 1:1 draw and drag the game into a penalty shootout. Italy's point Although the ball record is not very good, it is better than England. Maybe this is where Donadoni's confidence lies. Unfortunately, this conceded goal made Italy have to press out to attack again! Now, Donadoni's There is still a chance for a substitution, and it depends on how he adjusts."

Lineker is still applauding England's goals, but the object of his praise now has shifted from Owen who scored goals and Li Rui who assisted, to Mourinho who replaced Owen, "Mourinho O's substitutions are fantastic, I must say, he did a good job!" After praising Mourinho, Lineker did not forget to sarcasm the Italian coach Donadoni, "Balza was replaced just now. Li, Italy is for defense, now, I don’t know who Mr. Donadoni will replace, and who will he replace to strengthen the offense?”

**********
At this time, it was already the second half of overtime, Italy was making substitutions and adjustments, and Di Natale stood on the sidelines.

Seeing the substitution electronic signal board in the fourth official's hand, it was Perotta who was replaced by Di Natale!

Perrotta quickly ran towards the sidelines. Although he was very tired, he still had to fight for even those few seconds for Italy.

Now, Cassano, Luca Toni, Di Natale, three shooters are on the court, this is - Italy is going to play three forwards! !
***********
Italy has adopted three strikers, which is to attack with all its strength.

This is exactly what Mourinho hopes. Defense is Italy's strength. Facing Italy, which wants to defend wholeheartedly, no team can do too much, but once they attack with all their strength, there will inevitably be loopholes in the back.At that time, it was England's opportunity. In Mourinho's view, if England can seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to score another goal.

Of course, the first thing England should pay attention to is not to concede a goal!

In the 108th minute of the game, England also made substitutions.

Woodgate came off the bench, he replaced the 'little tiger' Walcott who could not run.

The England fans at the Ernst Hapoel Stadium gave Walcott applause. Walcott's performance today, especially after the start of the second half, was good and deserved the applause.

In this way, people noticed that England's formation has changed. Woodgate appeared on the defensive line, Lampard retreated to form a double midfielder with Hargreaves, and Li Rui also retreated slightly. :
"Now, England's formation, more precisely, should be 5-3-1-1. Li Rui's position retreats, and Owen advances forward, appearing in the position of a single striker. This is to use Owen's speed to counterattack. .Of course, Li Rui's speed is not slow."

***********
In the 109th minute, the Italian had the most threatening attack since the start of overtime.

Buffon throws the ball to launch an attack, Zambrotta drives the football forward, Ambrosini headers the ferry, De Rossi stops the ball in the chest and passes through, Cassano's lateral running opens Tetra The defense in Li, but unexpectedly did not catch the ball, but suddenly paused, letting the football roll forward.

Cassano's false run deceived Terry. He didn't notice Di Natale who suddenly jumped in. After Di Natale got the ball, he broke into the penalty area and directly PK with Ferdinand. Di Natale did not choose to rush. He pulled the football horizontally, dodged the shooting angle, and directly kicked the far corner.

For this shot, James was powerless. The Italian fans were ready to cheer for the goal, but Woodgate pushed the football out on the goal line.

***********
For the performance of Di Natale, who came off the bench, the Italian fans gave warm applause and cheers, cheering for his excellent shot.

The England fans gave Woodgate applause, thanking him for appearing in the most important position at the most critical moment.

Donadoni couldn't sit still for a long time. He was walking around on the sidelines. When he saw Di Natale's shot on the goal line and blocked the football, the Italian coach reluctantly opened his arms and shook his hands.

***********
This is the best chance for Italy during this period. After this almost scored shot, the Italian team started a somewhat tragic attack.

However, England, which led 2:1, played more and more relaxed. There was no collapse of the English psychological defense that Italy expected to see. This is all thanks to Li Rui's breakthrough. Of course, it was Owen's calmness in the end. Shoot the goal and overtake the score again, otherwise, England would definitely not be what it is now.

Except for Di Natale's shot, England's defense has almost no loopholes, which makes the Italians who are famous for their defense have to look at it with admiration. Could it be that the English are possessed by our Italian souls?
***********
"Italy is still attacking, but it doesn't have a good chance. Mourinho's England team, at this moment, has shown a more solid defense than the Italians. The chance for England is that the whole team has returned to defense. Even Li Rui They all returned to their own penalty area to block De Rossi's long-range shot just now... The English have reached the semi-finals of the European Cup again after 12 years, only 5 minutes away! They reached the semi-finals of the European Cup last time , or the European Cup held in England in 1996, when they were knocked out by rivals Germany in the semi-finals. I have to say that England’s performance in this European Cup surprised us.”

"Haha, wait until the game is over before evaluating this game. Don't underestimate the tenacity of the Italians. In my opinion, in Europe, only the Germans can do better than them in this respect!"

"I don't think so, I think, as time goes by, the hope of the Italians is getting smaller and smaller. They failed to qualify for the group stage of the last European Cup. If they fail again in this cup, it will be really disappointing." It's a pity, you know, they're the world champions."

Local Austrian commentators and special guests laughed.

For Italy or England, the Austrians, like many neutral fans, don’t have too much preference. Anyway, as long as the game is played well, it’s fine. Even if it’s the final penalty shootout, it’s fine. The fans just enjoy watching it. Contest.They don't have the great psychological pressure and psychological burden of Italian fans or England fans.

***********
As the game time passed, disappointment and even despair spread among the Italian fans in the stands... Everyone understood that time was running out.

However, the Italian players on the court are still struggling desperately. They are redeeming themselves. To be honest, although they have entered the quarter-finals, look at Italy's three games in the group stage - the first match 0:3 Netherlands, the second match 1 : 1 narrow draw with Romania. In the last group match, they won the old rival France 2:0 before qualifying. It can be said that this report card is a bit unjustifiable for the status of the world champion, and this game , if you lose to England, which the Italians have always looked down upon, and are eliminated by England, you can imagine the bitterness and loss in the hearts of the Italians! !

***********
Mourinho has been standing on the sidelines, yelling at the players from time to time: "Keep going! Don't stick to it!! Don't give the opponent a chance! If it doesn't work, foul! Foul if necessary! Don't be afraid of them! What about the world champion? !! Our victory is in sight!!"

His arms are raised high, very imposing, like the conductor of a great orchestra! !

Thanks to the advanced media technology, Mourinho's words were heard by many fans in front of the TV through electromagnetic waves. While people lamented that this "madman" coach really lived up to his name, they also really respected him and his The team is grateful.

***********
Time is passing by the big screen every minute and every second. Everyone can see the current time just by looking up. The passing of every second and every minute makes the Italian players more and more nervous and desperate. Actions on the field are affected by psychological factors, and mistakes have also begun to increase.

The TV broadcast has shown some close-up shots of Donadoni on the Italian coaching bench, as well as the players on the field and the bench many times. It seems to be telling the audience in this way that the exit performance of the world champion Italy is coming soon. It's time for the curtain call.

Donadoni looked restless. At this point in the game, the team has nothing to change in terms of tactics, and the three substitutions have been used up. Now, what Donadoni can do Yes, sitting on the coach's seat and watching his players work hard.

He could see Buffon roaring angrily, Cannavaro frowning, Cassano still running tirelessly, and Luca Toni shaking his head helplessly...

***********
In the 118th minute, it was Italy's opportunity to control the ball. Zambrotta passed the ball and De Rossi headed the ball to Cassano. Cassano tapped his heel and wanted to cooperate with Luca Toni. To think that Tony didn't run forward at all, the ball went out of the touchline, it was England's touchline.

Cassano, who was not very good-tempered, yelled at Luca Tony, and the latter replied angrily, and then; the two realized that it was not time to quarrel, and after glaring at each other, they spread out.

Beckham was not in a hurry to throw a sideline ball. He watched the Italians' infighting with great interest. When the referee Lannoy warned him not to delay, Beckham shrugged his shoulders, with an innocent expression on his face. The football is thrown.

***********
Beckham throws the ball from the touchline, Lampard points the ball back to Beckham, Beckham pulls the ball sideways, and then passes the ball.

Hargreaves, who came up with the assist, swung the ball towards Li Rui in front of Barzagli.

The football fell in front of Li Rui, and Ambrosini's tackle also arrived. Li Rui took the first step, hooked the ball forward with his right foot, jumped up, avoided Ambrosini's tackle, and accelerated towards the goal. Chasing after the football.

***********
He rushed past Italy's first line of defense, but De Rossi was still following him. De Rossi stretched out his foot to poke the ball, but failed to break the football, but slowed down Li Rui's advance. At this time, Zambrow Tower also came up. He planned to work with De Rossi to break the football. It was already the 119th minute of the game. If the break was successful, Italy would have another chance to counterattack. This is Italy's last chance. !
Seeing that Li Rui has no chance other than being intercepted!

***********
Amidst countless exclamations, Li Rui dexterously knocked the football with his heel, and the football rolled out of the gap between De Rossi and Zambrotta against the turf. People, one jumped out.

Just now the ball was passed to Beckham who came up to respond, Li Rui believed that the captain knew what to do.

Sure enough, just as Li Rui sped up, Beckham flicked his ankle, and the football flew into the air.

Looking from the stands of the Ernst Hapoel Stadium, two magnificent lights appeared on the field. The red light was on the ground, which was Li Rui running wildly. Above his head, there was a white light, which was Football is flying in the sky.

In the penalty area, Cannavaro yelled at Chiellini and asked Chiellini to defend Owen, and he rushed up by himself! !
***********
The football starts to fall.

Cannavaro came up, and Li Rui and Cannavaro faced each other, and they could see the mud and sweat on each other's faces.

At this time, Li Rui was almost unable to run anymore. He gritted his teeth, his shoulders sank, and he rushed up, using his body to resist Cannavaro to prevent Cannavaro from getting the ball first.

Immediately afterwards, Li Rui raised his right foot slightly, and the football fell in a timely manner. Before the ball hit the ground, the instep of his right foot took advantage of the trend.The whole movement is so beautiful, so stretched, like a work of art!

Everyone was stunned, whether they were English fans or Italian fans, they saw the football draw a huge arc, rising from Li Rui's feet, flying over Cannavaro's head, and then slowly falling.

At the same time, Li Rui's nimble body has already turned 180 degrees while picking the ball, flashed behind Cannavaro, and went straight to the fast-falling football.

***********
Buffon attacked. At this time, the patron saint of Italy did not hesitate. He threw himself at Li Rui's feet fiercely. This is Buffon's aura. Many shooters were frightened by his aura and could have scored. Football, too.

He hopes that this time, it can also be effective on Li Rui!
However, he failed!
"Go in!! Fuck it!!!" There was fire burning in Li Rui's chest, he yelled, and with a light tap of his toe, he chose to lob.

This made Buffon not expect that at such a short distance, he thought that Li Rui would choose a safer volley, after all, lobs are not so easy to master.

For this lob, even this man named Gianluigi Buffon can't do anything! !

The football flew past his cheek, and then began to fall, falling, like a meteorite falling into the sky... After a V-shaped bounce in front of the goal, the football rolled into the goal, without any suspense! ! !
************
"GOOAL!!GOOAL!!GOOAL!!GOOAL!!GOOAL!!GOOAL!!GOOAL!!GOOAL!!GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL——!!!" Lineker jumped up from his seat, stepping on one foot On the rebroadcast station, he raised his hands and pointed to the sky, kept shouting 'GOAL' in his mouth, raised his arms and shouted, he took a breath, roared desperately, in fact, it was more like an old man choking and sobbing, "LI'S——GOAL!! 3:1!! We...won!! The semi-finals of the European Cup! Here we come! 12 years of waiting! 12 years! 12 years..."

The entire Ernst Hapoel Stadium was full of England fans in the stands with their arms raised like a forest, and they were shouting, 'GOOOAAAL! ! ! '

After Li Rui finished his shot, he staggered back and ran back. While running, he looked towards the goal. He saw the football fall, and finally, it hit the goal net like stars. He started running on the field, running crazily, At this time, it was full of strength...Before I ran a few steps, I was thrown to the ground by Beckham, and then Irving...Afterwards, more and more teammates pressed over.

The entire stadium is completely boiling!

The earth is trembling! !

At this moment, even the cameras on the side of the court were shaking...
