There is a dream called football

Chapter 373 The Difficult Results

Because of Irving's injury, the injury time in the second half was as long as 6 minutes.

The score was still 1-1.
A dead ball chance, Li Weifeng hugged the ball, and Rooney went up to grab the ball with Li Weifeng.

"England is in a hurry."

"We can't rush."

Huang Jianxiang and Duan Xuan said.

Of course, England is in a hurry. The three points of the Chinese team are regarded as something in their pocket, but they can't get it. This will definitely be impatient.

Rooney and Li Weifeng were delayed in grabbing the ball for a while, because it was not serious, the referee gave verbal warnings to both sides, especially Rooney, he already had a yellow card, although the verbal warning was more serious, because the red card was very close.

This time the ball belonged to England. They took a free kick in the frontcourt, Beckham ran over, and the rest of the players pressed towards the Chinese team. At this time, except for the goalkeeper, England was attacking across the board.

Beckham drove the ball into the penalty area, and the Chinese team's players in the penalty area were fighting for each other's position, but Sun Xiang pushed the ball out.

Director Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, the first wave of offense was intercepted and no goal was scored.

But after the ball came out, the outside point was still picked up by the English player, and Lennon made another pass after taking the ball from the wing.

This time it was Crouch who made the top, but high.

The Chinese fans at the scene didn't dare to watch it. It's really exciting at this time of the game.

Zhu Guanghu's hands trembled a little. This game is like thinking about heaven and hell. As long as they survive, the Chinese team will draw with England and create a miracle. If they are defeated at the last moment, it will undoubtedly be bitter.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Zhu Guanghu replaced Gao Lin and Hao Junmin.

"I sent you up just to have an extra high point, to help defend in the penalty area."

Gao Lin nodded.

At this time, the Chinese team has no possession of the ball at all in the midfield, and the ball is at the feet of England, while the Chinese team can only defend intensively in the penalty area.

The ball was hoisted into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team again and again, hitting the hearts of the fans of the Chinese team like fists.

In the last minute, Robinson also came to the midfield. He came with a big kick. This kick was quite accurate. It was sent to Crouch's head. Gao Lao learned the lesson from the previous few times.

This trick really worked, Li Weifeng saw it, and stretched out his head to head the ball, but Lampard took the lead and kicked the ball into the goal.

The England fans cheered crazily, and someone on the bench of the Chinese team had already smashed water bottles.

But soon, the situation was reversed, and Zhu Guanghu found that the referee's gestures seemed to be different. It seemed that this was not a goal, but a foul by England.

The referee's gesture is very clear, Lampard's action is a dangerous action, and the goal is invalid.

Eriksson was completely furious. He yelled at the fourth official: "Is this a dangerous move? His feet are still far away from the opponent's head."

There is a rule in football that raises the foot too high, and the referee decided that Lampard's action just now was a dangerous action.

However, what constitutes a dangerous action is actually controversial. England's goal at the last moment was disallowed, and the players were naturally furious. They surrounded the referee to reason.

"The ball is far away from the opponent's head, why is it a dangerous move?"

"You kicked out, and you may kick the opponent's head. Of course, this is a dangerous move."

The England players were not forgiving, but the referee didn't care at all.

Huang Jianxiang smiled and said: "The big head saved the Chinese team. If he hadn't stretched his head, then Lampard's goal would be a certainty."

"The defense of this ball actually lost the position of the Chinese team. Fortunately, luck is very good."

"Luck is also very important on the stage of the World Cup."

Tens of seconds after the kick-off, the referee blew the final whistle, and the Chinese team drew with England with an absolute disadvantage of 20% possession rate.

After the game, the crowd raised their arms and cheered.

Although England got a draw, they still scored 4 points and occupied the most favorable position in the group. In the next round against Sweden, England will have an advantage.

So despite the disappointment, the English are not particularly frustrated, and their goal of the first place in the group is still very reliable.

Although the Chinese team scored two points, they are still far from qualifying for the group stage. Paraguay is also a strong opponent in the next game.

After the game ended, the two sides resumed their friendship. Gerrard found Li Qiao and asked to exchange jerseys.

The two exchanged jerseys. In fact, other Chinese players also wanted to exchange jerseys with the big names in England, but they felt that it would be shameless for them to take the initiative to ask the big names.

"Steven, are we friends again now?"

"of course."

"Haha."

"I wish you the next victory over Sweden."

"I wish you win Paraguay and advance to the knockout round."

*****
Zhu Guanghu was once again surrounded by reporters. He is amazing now, and he drew with Sweden and England one after another. This is a surprise. Before the game, the media generally believed that the Chinese team was the first to be eliminated. Basically, they went home after two rounds, but they did not expect that the Chinese team not only did not go home, but also occupied a good position.

"Director Zhu, do you know that as long as we beat Paraguay, we can create a miracle and qualify for the group stage."

Zhu Guanghu didn't care about these things, and he smiled indifferently. After all, it was the same group of people who questioned the national football team. Now, after watching the national football team play two good games, they started to praise them.

"I think Paraguay is no worse than England and Sweden. You must know that an Asian team has never defeated a South American team in the World Cup."

"South America is one of the strongest places in World Cup football, so don't underestimate the enemy, and we are not qualified to underestimate the enemy."

Someone asked: "Director Zhu, what is the secret of your success?"

"Haha, have I succeeded? There is still a long way to go. Let's talk about success or not when I am 80 years old. I am not qualified yet."

"Director Zhu, you are very bold in recruiting newcomers. What gave you the courage?"

Zhu Guanghu thought for a while, "Last year's World Youth Championship gave me confidence in the young people. Although they can't take on the responsibility of the main force of the national team yet, they are the future of the national team."

"Will you consider starting Gao Lin in the next game?"

"Of course there is this possibility. Anyone in my team may start. It just depends on their training status and whether they work hard."
