Chapter 98 Full Moon Scimitar
Just as Keegan was teaching George on the bench, he was suddenly interrupted by the whistle on the court.When Keegan turned his head to look at the situation on the court, he couldn't help standing up suddenly, and hurried to the side of the court, watching the situation on the court anxiously.

In the 39th minute of the game, Owen received a long pass from Beckham and started running wildly.Salgado resisted Owen tightly, as if he wanted to break the ball, but unfortunately Owen's speed was too fast, and he threw away Salgado in just two or three steps.

Seeing that Owen was about to rush into the penalty area, the anxious Salgado couldn't help but fell to the ground with a shovel, and brought Owen down hard, and then this scene appeared.

Keegan was anxious. You must know that although Shearer is good, he is already old after all, and his physical fitness and state cannot be maintained at the peak. At this time, the young Owen can be regarded as the core of England's offense in the next ten years.

As early as a long time ago, Keegan had already received a report from the team doctor, knowing that although Irving's body was not glass-shaped, it would shatter when touched.But Irving's body is also very fragile. Perhaps a seemingly insignificant injury can keep Irving out for a few months.

Thinking that the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup is about to start, Owen was injured at this time, which is definitely a serious blow to England.Even if Irving can recover from injury before the World Cup, no one can guarantee Irving's state after his comeback.

Seeing the stadium, Beckham and others ran to Owen to have a look, and waved to the bench, indicating that a stretcher was needed.Keegan couldn't help being startled, could it be that Owen was seriously injured this time?

The team doctors who had been prepared for a long time came to Irving in the unique stretcher car in the stadium, put Irving on the stretcher, and then put it in the car and drove out.

"Michael, how are you?" When the stretcher had just arrived on the sidelines, Keegan strode over nervously, looked at Owen and asked.Not only Keegan, but even George and a group of substitute players could not help but surround him.

"Sir, I can't help Michael check the situation if you do this. Please let your players return to their positions." A team doctor said to Keegan.

"Yes sir, what are you all doing here? Go back to your seats and play the ball." Hearing what the team doctor said, Keegan reacted, yelled a few words, and drove George and the others back to the bench. He stayed beside Irving, quietly waiting for the team doctor's examination.

"Fortunately, there is a small ankle problem, not very serious. But for safety, I want you to replace Michael. Now Michael needs to rest. If the situation is good, Michael can still be used as a substitute to participate in the game against the French team a week later."

Just glanced at it casually, the team doctor already knew about Irving's situation, and said to Keegan beside him.

Hearing what the team doctor said, Keegan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't participate in the game against Denmark, he heard from the team doctor that Irving could play as a substitute in the game against France, which meant that Owen's injury was not serious.

For the upcoming 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, this situation is the best.So after hearing what the team doctor said, Keegan didn't say anything, but nodded to express his understanding. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at the players on the bench, thinking about who to replace Irving.

Just as Keegan was thinking about who to replace, the England team in the stadium was already preparing to take a free kick.This is a free kick 23 meters away from the goal, and at the same time it is slightly to the left. This position is exactly the position that Beckham is best at.

Without anyone's cover, Beckham stood alone on the penalty spot, quietly waiting for the referee's whistle.The other English players, even Campbell, rushed into the Spanish penalty area, ready to move.

"Go a little, go a little more." Casillas yelled loudly, telling his teammates to go a little further to the right, so as to block Beckham's shooting angle as much as possible.

Looking at Beckham standing on the penalty spot, Casillas became nervous. After all, Beckham is famous for his free kicks. If Beckham does not choose to shoot directly but pass the ball in this position where he is best at taking free kicks, I am afraid that even Casillas himself will not believe it.

Knowing that Beckham directly took the free kick this time, how could Casillas not be nervous, after all, Beckham's full moon scimitar is famous in the entire football world.

Seeing that everything was ready, the referee blew his whistle to indicate that Beckham could start.But at this time, the "Golden Wolf" Guti, who was forming a human wall, immediately took a step forward while the referee was not paying attention.As Guti took a step forward, the entire human wall also took a step forward involuntarily, so that Beckham's shooting angle could be reduced.

Naturally, Beckham noticed the small moves of the Spanish players, but Beckham did not signal to the referee like ordinary players that the opponent's wall was too close to him, and asked the referee to drive the opponent's wall back.

In Beckham's eyes, Guti and others' small moves are useless at all, and have no effect on him at all. This is entirely due to Beckham's self-confidence in his extraordinary free kick skills.

Following the whistle of the referee, Beckham began to run, leaning on his left foot to support the weight of his whole body, raised his left hand high, and his body was possibly leaning to the left. In the eyes of outsiders, Beckham's body at this time was almost at a 45-degree angle.

His right foot kicked the ball fiercely. At the same time, when Beckham kicked the ball with his right foot, Beckham's left foot seemed to turn. Even George on the sidelines saw it and had to worry about whether Beckham would end up with his foot injured because of this free kick.

But obviously, George's worries are superfluous. Although Beckham's shooting posture is indeed very dangerous in the eyes of outsiders, for Beckham, this posture is the most comfortable posture for taking free kicks, because Beckham has always used this posture to take free kicks.

The ball turned into a beautiful arc, crossed the wall of people who jumped up desperately, trying to block Beckham's shot, and flew towards the goal quickly.

"What's going on here?" When Beckham kicked the ball, Casillas, who had been very concentrated, couldn't help but wondered as he watched the ball fly towards the goal.Because the ball from Beckham's shot this time was flying towards the center of the goal, and Casillas happened to be standing here.If the ball continues to fly in this direction, I'm afraid Casillas doesn't even need to move, just reach out and grab the ball.

It was for this reason that Casillas was puzzled. After all, Beckham was famous for his free kicks. It was impossible for Beckham to take free kicks so easily.

As if to prove Casillas' guess, the ball, which was heading towards the center of the goal, began to change direction and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal, and the speed was getting faster and faster, as if the ball had made a sharp turn.

Seeing this scene, Casillas was taken aback and tried his best to make a save. Unfortunately, the initial doubt made Casillas react, but it was already too late. The ball was two balls away from Casillas' finger and went into the net.

1:0, England first broke the deadlock with captain David Beckham's free kick
