Chapter 677 Hat trick, pressure on Argentina
"Luo, lie down quickly!"

The team doctor was the first to rush onto the court after the 90-minute game.

Rossi's physical strength was greatly consumed in the last 15 minutes of the second half, and he was prone to cramps in the later stages.

FIFA's new regulations increase the number of substitutions for each team in this World Cup from three to five.

But Southgate has no intention of replacing Rossi.

He is as important to the England team as Messi is to the Argentina team.

Rossi lay flat on the turf and received a leg muscle massage from the team doctor.

The other players are also taking the time to rest.

Southgate came among the players and took the time to arrange the tactics for overtime.

Beckham stepped forward to inquire about the players one by one to stabilize the morale of the army.

The same goes for Argentina.

The physical exertion made them lose to their opponents in the final stage of the game. The lack of oxygen in their brains led to the weakening of observation and judgment.

Messi drank water and looked at Rossi lying on the turf.

From club to national team, he has never been so closely pursued.

Even with Ronaldo, the score is evenly matched at best.

However, this young man puts too much pressure on his seniors.

The age gap made him constantly comfort himself.

But seeing Rossi's amazing performance, how could he not feel a strong desire to win in his heart.

You chase after me, and you pull and pull repeatedly. The fans are worried, and the players' mentality is more like a roller coaster.

Soon, the fourth official came over to inform the two teams to prepare for the start of overtime.

Southgate gathered the players together in a circle for a final morale boost.

As Messi passed the ball back, the overtime of the 22nd World Cup final officially began.

Before the start, Argentina took the lead in making substitution adjustments, with Lautaro coming off the bench.

Argentina changed to 4-4-2.

In the 95th minute, Argentina penetrated outside the England team's penalty area through skillful passing and coordination, and Enzo pushed the ball to Messi on the left rib.

The moment Messi got the ball, four defensive players surrounded him at the same time, quickly tightening the gap and closing the door and double-teaming him.

But Messi did not intend to take or control the ball directly. Instead, he kicked the ball directly and passed the ball to Lautaro on the right before the opening was closed.

[Later point of opportunity! 】

【Lautaro! 】

【Stop! 】

【Shoot! ! ! 】

When Lautaro chose to stop the ball first and then shoot, he had missed the best opportunity.

Maguire put his huge body in front of him to block the shot.

【oops! 】

[Isn’t it just a matter of shooting directly? 】

[Lautaro’s pause gave England a chance to defend! 】

[At this time, shooting is no longer a threat! 】

[This may be because Lautaro, who came on as a substitute, has not fully adapted to this fast-paced game! 】

[Argentina missed a scoring opportunity! 】

Luke Shaw controlled the second penalty and passed the ball to Sterling on the right.

The Argentine team did not retreat, but counterattacked near the center circle.

In the 98th minute, Sterling was double-teamed by two opponents and lost the ball.

Argentina took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.

Montiel made a long pass and hit it directly behind the England defense.

Lautaro quickly moved forward and entered the penalty area.

Under the interference of Rice, the shot did not have any power and was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper.

During this period, Argentina's offensive ideas were very clear. They targeted the weak defensive system of England's three central defenders. Once they got the ball, they passed it directly behind the defense line and rarely passed it through the midfield.

But Lautaro failed to seize the two opportunities he had.

Rice's defensive pressure during this period was huge.

Not only does he have to restrict Messi in the defensive midfielder position, but he also needs to be able to supplement the defense immediately when defending.

Faced with this situation, Southgate had to let Rossi play the role of a free agent again.

Just like Argentina's Messi.

They are all walking in the frontcourt, but once there is a chance to counterattack, the quality of the shot must be guaranteed.

The England team passed the wing, smoothly advanced the ball, and then made a pass.

High-altitude operations allowed the England team to frequently get corner kick opportunities to continuously suppress the Argentine defense.In the 109th minute, Luke Shaw took a left corner kick. After the first point was cleared by Argentine defender Romero, the second point outside the penalty area fell at the feet of Foden.

[There are more peripherals! 】

[Foden stops the ball! 】

【Shoot! 】

[Hit the defensive player’s body! 】

[Argentina’s defense was kept very tight and did not give the opponent any chance! 】

The ball continued to be under England's control, and after a few steps Kyle Walker passed it into the penalty area again.

After adjustment, Kane flicked his head forward and passed the ball to the back point.

Rossi appeared at the back point where Argentina's defense was weakest.

【Chance! 】

【Shoot! ! ! 】

Just as the hearts of the Argentinian fans were trembling, Martinez's huge body rushed over at incredible speed and blocked Rossi's follow-up shot.

The fans roared even more crazily.

[Oh my god! 】

[Martinez blocked Rossi’s inevitable shot! 】

【San Martinez! 】

[He saved the Argentina team! 】

This time, Martinez stood up from the turf and finally let out a roar from the depths of his soul.

Saving such an inevitable shot is a great boost to the team's morale.

What's more, it was saved from Rossi's feet.

It is more significant and more inspiring.

With a father at the back, the Argentine team was full of momentum and took advantage of England's massive pressure to launch a quick counterattack.

Parelas drove straight into the middle, Enzo received the ball with his back, suddenly accelerated to the left and cut away from the defense.

Messi and Lautaro have already moved forward quickly.

The defense of the three central defenders is in danger at this moment.

Fortunately, Foden rushed back from the frontcourt to the backcourt and interfered with Enzo who was holding the ball.

Messi went down the wing, leaving the middle to Lautaro. After receiving the pass from his teammate, he continued to fake moves to confuse Luke Shaw from the bottom line and entered the penalty area.

Ford stepped forward to interfere, but Messi could only continue to move away from the angle and cross the ball.

Although Lautaro grabbed the ball at the front point, Maguire blocked his header with his height advantage.

After receiving the ball outside the penalty area, Rice saw Bellingham near the top of the center circle and directly kicked the ball.

The two teams' ultra-fast transition from offense to defense. Due to the decline in physical fitness, it was impossible to maintain a reasonable distance between the fronts. As a result, England's counterattack had to start from the backcourt and use long balls to transfer to the center circle.

This will give the opponent plenty of time to defend.

When Bellingham turned his back to receive the ball, he observed the opponent's defender Pezzella rushing towards him.

After leaning on his opponent with his body, he did not stop the ball. Instead, he passed the ball with a man and skillfully passed the defense.

Bellingham's imaginative dribble won the plaudits of England fans.

Although they broke through the midfield defense, Argentina had the advantage of defensive numbers in the backcourt.

Just when everyone thought Bellingham was going to pass the ball to Sterling on the right, his pass was unexpected.

A long overhead pass flew directly over the head of central defender Otamendi and landed in front.

God, what kind of confidence makes him dare to pass the ball like this?
Southgate's scalp instantly went numb, and he was about to reach out to scratch it when he saw a figure flash out between the two Argentinian central defenders.

Number 7!
It's Rosie!
I saw Rossi rushing to the front at super fast speed.

Seeing that it was too late, Otamendi jumped into the air and tried to make a save with a barb.

But the difference between the toes and the ball is only 0.1 centimeters.

[The ball is passed! 】

[Rossi’s single-handed ball! 】

【Chance! ! ! 】

[Rub the ball! 】

[The ball is scored, the ball is scored! ! ! ! 】

[In the first half of overtime, Rossi scored the go-ahead goal for England! 】

[This is his third goal in this game! 】

[Rossi completed a hat trick in the final! 】

[He tied Messi’s number of goals in this World Cup! 】

[Pressure is coming to the Argentina team! 】
