Chapter 232 Jost Saves England
England played against Portugal, and England had a dominant start. Beckham's two exquisite passes assisted Scholes and McManaman to score a goal.

But the good times didn’t last long. In the 39th minute, Portugal got a chance to counterattack quickly. Rui Costa, the brain of the Portuguese midfielder, passed through the England midfielder with a straight pass. Portugal’s number one star Figo dribbled the ball to the England goal alone. Campbell and Adams quickly retreated.

Adams directed Campbell to press forward, but Portuguese striker Nuna Gomez followed.Campbell did not dare to rush forward.

Figo dribbled the ball almost to the penalty area, and Adams decided to grab it, and he couldn't let Figo oppress like this.

As soon as Adams was ready to grab, Figo took a long shot from outside the penalty area. Although Figo was dribbling the ball, he had been observing the running of the England defender and his teammates. When Figo approached the penalty area, he had already entered his range.

Figo looked at the position of the England defender and goalkeeper, and suddenly took a long shot. Adams subconsciously turned around, trying to block the shot with his body.

But the ball shot by Figo was like a shell fired. England goalkeeper Seaman was unable to make a save. The ball quickly flew into the net and Portugal pulled back a goal.

This time the goal was conceded because England's Manchester United midfielders Jost and Scholes stood forward and were pierced by a pass from Portugal, giving Figo a chance to face the defender directly.

The game continued, and after Portugal got back a goal, it was very imposing. The first half was about to stoppage time. Just when everyone thought that England would end the first half with a one-goal lead, Portugal made another murderous attempt.

Rui Costa and Figo switched positions and came to the right. With a 45-point poisonous cross, Portuguese midfielder Joao Pinto flew to the top. Campbell had made the best effort to interfere, but the ball still flew into the net. Portugal was two goals behind and miraculously equalized.

England coach Keegan's face was as cold as ice, leading from 2:0 to being equalized at 2:2, which made him want to eat people.

After the first half, back in the locker room, Keegan scolded Jost, thinking that he did not protect the midfield and let Portugal come in and out at will, Jost did not show weakness and confronted Keegan.The two of you won't obey anyone if you say a word to me.Keegan was so angry that he was about to make a substitution at the beginning of the second half, and then assistant coach Pittas stopped the furious Keegan.

At the beginning of the second half, Jost fought with Portugal’s Rui Costa honestly like taking drugs, and harassed Figo from time to time. Jost’s unremitting efforts got Portugal’s offense into trouble.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Portugal counterattacked quickly, and Figo quickly advanced with the ball, forming a situation of three strikes in the frontcourt.

Joao Pinto and Gomez opened the flanks respectively to form a trident, and the two defenders of England, Campbell and Adams, retreated quickly and did not dare to step forward.

Seeing that Figo was not far from the penalty area, Adams was about to step forward to block it. In the first half, Figo scored a goal with a long-range shot from the same position. Adams went forward. Figo had been observing the players' running positions. Seeing that Adams gave up Gomez to block himself, Figo was overjoyed and passed the ball to Gomez at the right time.

Campbell has been observing Adams. When he saw Adams stepping forward, he gestured to him, meaning offside. Campbell saw Adams stepping forward to block Figo, and he quickly stepped forward to make offside.

But the tragedy is that Campbell slipped and fell suddenly.Figo passed to Gomez, Campbell fell to stay onside, and Gomez got the ball and got a one-on-one with goalkeeper Seaman.

After getting the ball, Gomez made a special adjustment, preparing to hit a dead corner, so that he could overtake the ball, but Gomez’s adjustment gave Jost a chance to save the situation. Jost quickly shoveled over.

Now the Portuguese players quit and asked the referee for an explanation. The referee insisted on his own penalty and thought that the ball should be tackled first.

Jost made a contribution, and England was even more aggressively attacked by the image of Jost's beautiful tackle, but they never scored.

No.80 minutes, Portugal once again made a murderous attempt. Joao Pinto made a wonderful pass, and Gomez caught the ball just right. He took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Campbell with his foot and brought the ball into the penalty area.

Although Campbell turned around and struggled to shovel, it still did not prevent Gomez from hitting the ball into the goal. Portugal overtook England 3:2.

England was dejected, and their two-goal lead was overtaken by their opponents. England is worthy of being called the European Chinese team, and it can play any kind of game.

The lagging England fans have been encouraging the England players not to give up, and have been singing to cheer for the team.

England pushed forward aggressively, but there was still no way to break through the gate of Portugal. After Portugal took the lead, it retreated.

The time soon entered the stoppage time period. In No.90 two minutes, England got a free kick in the left frontcourt. After this attack, the referee will blow the whistle and the game will end.

Beckham stood in front of the ball and took the penalty. The penalty area was full of people, even the goalkeeper Seaman rushed up.

The penalty area was full of people, all waiting for the referee's whistle. The referee sounded the whistle, and Beckham made an arc pass into the penalty area.

The Portuguese penalty area was suddenly turned upside down. The football was passed near the penalty spot. Most of the Portuguese players were taken away by the English players. Jost ambushed outside the penalty area. He saw the opportunity and jumped to the top. The football miraculously entered the net. Jost miraculously equalized the score for England.

All England players ran towards Jost crazily, Jost couldn't bear it and was overwhelmed to the ground.

In the end, the referee blew his whistle, and England and Portugal shook hands 3:3.

After the game, the English media interviewed Jost and asked him how he did it when he finally scored the equalizer.

Jost: "It's hard to describe! I just went to the penalty area and hoped for a miracle at the last second. I thought the game was going to be 2-1. In the 92nd minute, we had nothing to lose. I ran to the penalty area, closed my eyes, and jumped up. I felt that this was a striker's dive, not a midfielder! I think at that moment, I was possessed by Solskjaer!"

After the game, the coaches of England and Portugal were not satisfied with the draw, and both believed that their teams should have won the game.

England's next game is against arch-rivals Germany.

After defeating Croatia in the 98 World Cup, Ribeck replaced Vogts as the new head coach of the national team. The German Football Association still has confidence in the German team.Great odds for England to win
