Chapter 614 The Great 'Marseille Roundabout'!
Aragones seemed quite dissatisfied with Spain's defense this time. The old coach growled loudly on the sidelines with a thick neck, and his angry roar could be heard in the commentary booth.

The game has progressed to the present, and the situation on the field has become a stalemate. At this time, whoever scores first can take the initiative, and can wait for the opponent to make a mistake, and then continue to make a fatal blow.

Casillas took the goal kick and he knocked the ball to Capudrera, the left-back from Villarreal who has a great assist ability.

After Capdrera dribbled the ball along the left for a certain distance, he called Fabregas to come over for help. When Fabregas ran over, Capdrera suddenly accelerated, and from Lampa who was defending him De's side suddenly passed, and Lampard thought he would cooperate with Fabregas and was deceived.

"Cunning Spaniard, he deceived the innocent Frank!" Lineker shouted, this should be humorous, but it did not elicit laughter from the England fans in front of the TV, because Capudrera broke through. After passing Lampard, he advanced more than 20 meters along the left road, and suddenly made a wide-range pass diagonally. Following this arc, people saw that Torres was like an arrow at the other end of the arc. Same, suddenly rushed out to catch the ball!

***********
Terry raised his hand to indicate that Torres was offside, but the referee Brickley did not say so.

It is indeed not offside!
England just tried to create an offside, but did not expect that Brown, who was lagging behind, was half behind!
"No offside! No offside!! Successful anti-offside! Great pass! Torres single-handedly! Spain's chance! Will there be a goal?!" The Spanish commentator roared loudly.

***********
James' attack was a bit slower. When he was about to rush out, he saw Torres kicking the goal. This time, the goalkeeper, who was criticized by fans and the media, made the most exciting European Cup. save!
Torres shot from the far corner. Unexpectedly, James had already moved his body and dived to the ball. Like a big bird, he blocked the football. After the football was blocked by James' palm, it still Turning towards the goal with a huge arc, it was slightly higher than the crossbar and out of the baseline. It is conceivable that without James' save this time, this would have been an extremely wonderful goal! !
"James!! God!! He saved Torres' shot! I can't believe it! He saved the England team!" the Austrian commentator shouted at the top of his voice, as if he had seen something incredible, his mouth opened wide .

***********
The almost desperate England fans saw James miraculously save the football, and jumped up one by one, cheering loudly and calling James' name.

Mourinho waved his arms as if venting, applauding James' save. If there is any position in the England team that he is most worried about, it is the position of the goalkeeper, whether it is the starting James or the bench. Neither Robinson nor Carson satisfied him.The best goalkeeper in Mourinho's mind is of course his disciple at Chelsea, the Czech Peter Cech.

***********
After completing this classic save, James jumped up from the ground and yelled at his teammates on the back line: "Wes! You made a mistake! Hell! Pay attention!!"

Brown, who had almost caused a catastrophe because of his slow movement just now, was not angry when he heard James' roar. He put his arms around James to express his gratitude. If it weren't for James' save Sinners of England!Is it really unlucky to get the chance to play, but the sinner who was eliminated by England.

This save obviously gave James great confidence. He pushed Brown away, "Defend, defend the Spaniard's corner kick! Don't give them a chance!"

***********
Xavi took a corner kick, Villa was about to head the ball, but felt a black shadow in front of his eyes, it was James attacking, jumping high, almost firmly picked the football in his hands above his head, stunned Did not let go! !

"Great job! James! I think, maybe after the game against Italy, our James had an epiphany! He has sublimated!" Lineker shouted exaggeratedly.

Epiphany?Have you figured out the trick of guarding the gate?Also, sublimation?What's the meaning?
Listen to how the England fans explained this - England fans were obviously shocked by James' two strikes, they shouted 'Saint James! '

This seems to be able to express their excitement, and at the same time, it does not mean to humiliate the Spanish national goal Casillas, because Casillas is enthusiastically called "Saint Casillas" by the fans in Spain! !

***********
Although Aragones attached great importance to Li Rui and made targeted arrangements, Li Rui was still very active.

Ashley Cole passed the ball from the wing, Lampard headed the ball to Li Rui, Li Rui had just stopped the ball in the chest, and Fabregas posted it.Cesc Fabregas' task today is not only to participate in the offense, but also to defend Li Rui. To be honest, among the starting midfielders in Spain today, there seems to be no real defensive champion.

Fabregas alone can't guard Li Rui, of course, Harvey will come to support him when necessary, even so, he can barely guard Li Rui.

***********
Li Rui didn't get entangled with Fabregas this time, he knocked the football to Gerrard beside him, turned and ran forward by himself.

Gerrard passed the ball to Beckham, the England captain hoisted the football to the left of the penalty area with his right foot, Ashley Cole made an assist, padded his chest, and then accelerated again, avoiding Ramos' interception , Ashley Cole plays a left-footed cross.

This is a low ball.

Li Rui faced the incoming ball, flicked to the right, then dunked to the left, then stepped on the ball on the spot, stopped suddenly, and saw Marchena's tackle sticking to the turf, slipping past him and directly onto the court Side, until the side of the billboard, before stopping the foot.

"Nice get rid of!"

***********
Even the Spanish fans in the stands of the Ernst Hapoel Stadium were amazed.

La Liga generally tends to be technical, which is related to the preferences of Spanish fans. Spanish fans like artistic football and good-looking football. This is most obvious in Barcelona fans and Real Madrid fans.They all believe that only the Bernabeu or the Nou Camp have the most artistic football on the planet.

After passing Marchena, Li Rui dribbled the ball to the middle, and Ramos came up.

Li Rui put the football under his feet, controlled the football, and observed the situation on the field at the same time. Beside Rooney, Puyol was always inseparable. Lampard was at the top of the penalty area. Ladd is cruising in the penalty area, but if the football is passed on, it is estimated that the football is more likely to be obtained or destroyed by the Spaniard in advance.

***********
At this time, Ramos couldn't help coming up to grab the ball.Li Rui opened his arms, separated Ramos, stretched his left foot forward, stepped on the football with his right foot and pulled it inside his body, then turned around 360 degrees, raised his left foot again, and controlled the football with the arch of his foot in front of myself.

***********
Then when Ramos was still in a daze, he shook his right foot and rubbed the football towards the goal. Then when everyone was still shocked by Li Rui's 'Marseille roundabout', a white figure stood in front of the goal , Hit the football hard, Casillas could only subconsciously reach out to block the header from such a close range, but this time, he failed to prevent the football from entering the net.

The net is shaking!
"What?" The Spanish fans haven't reacted yet. In fact, not only the Spanish fans, but even the English fans are not sure that the goal has been scored.From the perspective of the stands, a white figure rushed into the penalty area, then hit the football, and then the net shook, but it was not clear whether the ball was scored or hit the side netting.

However, the referee Brickley's whistle blew, and his hands pointed to the center circle, the goal was valid, England 1:0! !
At this time, everyone realized that a goal was scored! ! !

Come in! !
***********
In fact, at this time, Richards was already roaring crazily, rushing towards Li Rui who was passing the ball to him.

Li Rui stood there with his arms open, laughing, waiting for his teammates to hug him!
At this point, the entire Ernst Hapoel stadium began to boil wildly:
Goal!
England 1:0 Spain! !

"It was unbelievable! A goal! A sudden goal!! England took the lead! Richards' goal! It's his first goal of this European Cup! In the last game and In the Spanish game, Richards performed extremely poorly and almost became England's sinner, now, he is a hero!!"

"Richards!!! Yes! He scored his first goal in the European Cup! He put England ahead!"

"When the football hit the goal, everyone didn't react! No one knew when Richards came up!! Maybe only Li Rui knew!! But the ball scored! This is the most important thing! Wonderful Header! Beautiful!"

At this moment, the commentators were also excited. No matter how exciting the game was, no matter how many exciting scenes there were, without the stimulation of scoring, it would still be boring!
Fortunately, at this time, a goal appeared, and Richards, who scored the goal, was full of praise from them.

***********
At this time, the process of scoring the goal began to be replayed on the big screen. After Li Rui passed Ramos with a beautiful "Marseille roundabout", he immediately rubbed the football towards the goal. Before he could react, Richards had already rushed to the point where the football fell, and scored with a very beautiful header. Even Casillas couldn't do anything about such a close-range header. However, Li Rui's kick The suddenness and concealment of the pass is the biggest reason why Casillas can't react! !
"Great dribble! Incomparable pass!"

"The football is like a ballet at his feet!"

"At this moment, I think of Zidane!"

Just now, the commentators and guest commentators were all praising Richards for scoring the goal, but at this time, everyone’s praises flew to Li Rui again. Indeed, Richards’s header is certainly wonderful , However, Li Rui's 'Marseille roundabout' is extraordinary, and the wonderful rubbing pass after that is the most brilliant part of this attack! !

"Wonderful! Li Rui broke through the Spanish defense alone! Aragones' only mistake was that he didn't arrange a purely defensive player in the midfield!" The commentator said, looking at the Spanish bench, but he really didn't see it. To a real pure engineer player like the Italian midfielder Gattuso... It seems that Spain does not produce such players.

***********
Outside the field, Mourinho saw Li Rui's 'Marseille gyration' breaking through Ramos, and suddenly rubbed the pass in front of the goal. The next second he saw Richards hitting the football into the goal, he jumped excitedly Get up and hug the assistant coach Brito next to you.

Even though the referee hadn't blown the whistle to make the goal effective, Mourinho could see clearly that the football went into the net. Yes, he celebrated in advance!

After he and Brito hugged, the referee Brickley announced that the whistle of the goal was valid, followed by wild cheers from the England fans.

***********
Richards' goal lifted a heavy burden off both himself and Mourinho.After the starting list for this game came out, Richards, who performed poorly in the group match against Spain, started the game, which is bound to cause huge controversy. If England is eliminated, or Richards's If the performance is still bad, then the media will definitely criticize Mourinho after the game for choosing Richards to start.

Now, Richards scored a goal, and it was a goal that broke the deadlock. In this way, even if England is eliminated in the end, the media will not blame Richards for his starting.

***********
After scoring the goal, Richards was very excited. Although he was sure that the goal had been scored, the referee's whistle was half a beat behind, and he was so disturbed. When the referee's whistle sounded , he was so excited that he almost slipped and fell to the ground, then Richards rushed to Li Rui and gave Li Rui a warm hug.

He must thank Li Rui!Li Rui's pass was great. When Li Rui was facing Ramos, he hooked his right index finger behind him very covertly. Richards subconsciously rushed forward into the penalty area, and then, When he arrived, Li Rui's pass also arrived, and it happened to be a header.

"It's a beautiful goal!!" Li Rui hugged Richards and whispered in his ear.

At this moment, Richards only knew how to laugh.He was just so excited.He felt like he was going crazy.

And Richards may be the only one on the field who didn't see Li Rui use the 'Marseille roundabout' to pass Ramos, so that during the intermission, the TV screen of Richards in the locker room I saw the process of Li Rui passing the ball, his mouth was wide open, even though he was the player who scored the goal himself, but Richards had to admit that the goal was beautiful, and Li Rui's 'Marseille gyration' pass was even more impressive. beautiful!
***********
"Richards! GREAT! GREAT!!"

"Li Rui!! Well done!!!"

The entire Ernst Hapoel Stadium was almost shaken, the England fans were cheering wildly, they were stomping their feet, and even the camera lens was trembling at the moment.

After Li Rui and Richards hugged, other England players also rushed up. They hugged and yelled.

***********
The English were cheering their lead, while the Spaniards were somewhat silent.Casillas put his hands behind his head and looked up at the night sky in Vienna. Puyol seemed a little angry. He was very angry that no one followed when Richards advanced.

And the other Spanish players, some with their heads down, some with their hands on their hips, stood there.

The camera was also quickly given to the old coach Aragones on the Spanish coaching bench.

Aragones didn't seem to be furious on the sidelines because of this conceded goal, but in fact, Aragones was still furious when Li Rui almost scored a goal last time.

It is impossible for Aragones not to be angry about this conceded goal. However, he also knows this conceded goal and cannot blame the players too much. In fact, before the whistle of the referee's effective goal sounded, Aragones Ness was not sure that the goal had been scored, because he hadn't figured out the details of the attack at the time.Li Rui's 'Marseille Manoeuvre' is so wonderful, let's put it this way, even the most demanding head coach can't be too demanding on his players for Zidane's creative offense! !

Aragones made a gesture towards Puyol, indicating that the team should be stable and not mess up because of this conceded goal. That is a far more terrible disaster than conceding a goal.

Puyol nodded. He is the captain of Spain. At this time, he must stand up, just like he has stood up countless times before.

***********
In the 41st minute of the game, Li Rui assisted Richards to score a goal with a classic 'Marseille roundabout' pass:

England 1:0 Spain!
The deadlock of the game was broken.
