Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 129: Reverse injury triggered, super substitute! [Four thousand words chapter]

Of course, this goal can’t really be blamed on Joe Hart.

This kind of ball speed and angle are excellent, and it is almost impossible to save a world wave with a drop.

Not to mention Joe Hart, even if Buffon, Neuer, Casillas and other top goalkeepers come, they dare not say that they can save this shot.

It can only be said that Hart still played the debuff effect of his own talent [world wave background board].

Ordinary goals can’t enter his goal, and often only unexpected world waves can penetrate his ten fingers.

Besides, which goalkeeper has not been scored a world wave? It’s just that Hart has been scored more.

Looking at Joe Hart with a “numb” face, Ling Feng had to suppress his inner smile and came to Hart:

“Joe, it’s okay! It’s not your fault, you’ve done well enough!”

At this time, as the captain of the team, Gerrard also applauded and raised his arms, encouraging his teammates who were distracted:

“Guys, cheer up! The score is just tied, we just need to score one more goal!”

He has encountered the desperate situation of being scored three times, and now it’s just tied, what’s the big deal.

Football is actually very simple, as long as you score one more goal than the opponent, you can win the game!

With James Rodriguez’s amazing world wave, Colombia equalized the score in the 53rd minute of the second half.

The two sides are back on the same starting line again.

However, after equalizing the score, Colombia’s morale soared, and every player seemed to be full of energy, chasing after the victory.

It seemed that the England players had not yet reacted to the world wave, and their attention was not focused.

As Colombia pressed frantically in the frontcourt, Jagielka made a long pass in a panic, but passed the ball to the opponent, easily giving up the ball.

Colombia, which regained the ball, continued to launch a fierce offensive.

Seeing that the backcourt was out of control, Ling Feng hurriedly called the two wingers to retreat to the midfield, changing the formation to 451, and trying to withstand the Colombian attack as much as possible.

However, it was raining cats and dogs.

In the 62nd minute of the game, England suffered another blow!

Rooney, who scored the first goal for the team in this game, accidentally pulled his thigh when pressing the Colombian defender in the frontcourt.

Although he persisted on the field for a few minutes, he still sat on the grass without confrontation.

After the referee stopped the game, Ling Feng came to Rooney and asked with concern:

“Wayne, are you okay?”

The latter just shook his head, touched the back of his left thigh, and replied helplessly:

“It should be a strain.”

After that, he clenched his fist and smashed it on the grass, and cursed unwillingly:

“Damn it!”

The team doctor entered the field with a medical bag, examined him carefully, and diagnosed him with a slight strain of the thigh muscle.

Although a slight thigh strain is not a serious injury, it only takes one or two weeks to recover quickly.

However, he will definitely not be able to continue playing.

Seeing the team doctor making a substitution gesture, Hodgson, who was anxious on the sidelines, had to turn around and discuss with his assistant.

“Who should we replace?”

There were three forwards on the bench.

Welbeck, Lambert, Vardy.

At this critical moment of bayonet fighting, who should be sent to the field?

Welbeck?

He had scored a lore goal with a scorpion kick in the group match against Sweden in the European Cup.

Lambert?

Send him up, and then let the two wingers directly send high crosses and bombard with headers?

Or Vardy, who is a club teammate with Ling Feng and has a good understanding with him?

After thinking for a few seconds, he decided to bet on Vardy!

In his opinion, the Colombian central defender partner has a slow turning speed, and he can use Vardy’s impact to attack the back of the defender.

Moreover, Vardy’s pressing enthusiasm and aggressiveness are stronger than the other two.

Most importantly, he and Ling Feng are club teammates and have a better understanding of each other.

In the first round against Italy, it was Ling Feng’s volley pass that allowed Vardy to score the equalizer and get a precious point.

Without that point, they might not be able to qualify!

After discussing, assistant coach Livington went to the field

Vardy, who was warming up, waved:

“Jamie, change clothes and go on the court!”

Hearing this, Vardy’s eyes lit up and he immediately responded:

“Yes, coach!”

He quickly ran back to the bench, took off his vest, put on his No. 21 jersey, and came to the sidelines.

Seeing the fourth official on the sidelines raise the substitution card, Rooney came to Ling Feng and hugged him.

“Next, it’s up to you.”

Ling Feng didn’t say anything, but nodded firmly.

Amid the warm applause, Rooney slowly walked to the sidelines and shook hands with Vardy, who ran into the court!

“England was forced to make a substitution, replacing No. 10 Wayne Rooney with No. 21 Jamie Vardy!”

“Vardy, 27, has had a perfect season this season. Not only did he help Leicester City win the Championship and FA Cup, he also won the Championship Golden Boot with a record-breaking number of goals.”

“In the first round against Italy, it was he who helped the Three Lions equalize the score and get a valuable point.”

“Hodgson chose to let him play, obviously because of his impact and aggressiveness in the frontcourt.”

When running past Ling Feng, the two clapped their hands.

Vardy, who came to the front of the formation, took a deep breath, but could not suppress his excitement.

In the crucial knockout match of the World Cup, the team’s main striker was injured and the team was suppressed by the opponent. The head coach chose to trust himself and sent himself on the field.

This may be the only chance in life!

He couldn’t help but secretly make up his mind to perform well and shine his own light on this great stage as much as possible!

However, after Vardy came on the court, he had no chance to touch the ball at all.

Because, in the next ten minutes, Colombia still controlled the ball and kept suppressing England in the half.

Even so, he still firmly followed the instructions of the head coach, kept running in the frontcourt, and kept pressing the players with the ball, becoming the first line of defense of England’s entire defensive formation!

Seeing this, Ling Feng also took the initiative to step forward and pressed together with Vardy.

England’s overall formation also changed from 451 to 442.

With the Leicester City twins pressing hard in the frontcourt, the two Colombian midfielders did not dare to hold the ball for too long, and passed the ball as quickly as possible, resulting in many passing errors.

In this way, England’s defensive pressure in the midfield and backcourt was also relieved.

Because James Rodriguez was focused on in the frontcourt, and the two midfielders were clamped by Ling Feng and Vardy, Colombia could only pass the ball directly to the feet of the two wingers through the full-backs, hoping that Cuadrado and Martinez could tear open the defense.

However, under England’s eight-man zone defense tactics in the midfield and backcourt, every time the two Colombian wingers got the ball, they had to face two or three people’s defense, and there was not much space and opportunity to break through.

After trying several times, the wingers could only pass the ball back to the middle and then continue to look for space.

In this way, the game fell into a stalemate.

Although Colombia pressed England to play in the half court, it could not create too good opportunities and could only continue to control the ball patiently.

England also handed the ball over and quietly waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

Until the 73rd minute of the game, Cuadrado tried to break through on the right, and then forced a cross, but hit the left back Baines’s foot and bounced out of the bottom line.

Colombia got a valuable corner kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt.

When the situation cannot be opened in the mobile war, set pieces are one of the means to break the situation.

So, the two central defenders of Colombia came to the penalty area from the backcourt, ready to compete for headers.

Only two full-backs were left in the backcourt to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

Seeing this, Ling Feng, who returned to the top of the penalty area, couldn’t help but shout Vardy’s name:

“Jamie!”

Looking at the voice, Vardy saw Ling Feng raised his eyebrows at him.

The tacit understanding built up in each game made him immediately understand Ling Feng’s intention, and then nodded.

James Rodriguez took the penalty and directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

And the captain of Colombia, Yepes, jumped up and headed the ball under the interference of Cahill beside him.

Only a “duang” sound was heard, and the ball hit the crossbar of the goal and bounced out.

In an instant, there was chaos in the penalty area.

In the end, Gerrard, who returned to the front of the penalty area, kicked the ball to the left at the first time.

And at the moment when Gerrard cleared the ball, Ling Feng had already started running forward.

Based on his judgment of the landing point of the high ball, he immediately ran towards the ball rolling to the left sideline with all his strength

Sprint away!

Seeing this, the Colombian right back Zuniga, who stayed in the backcourt, also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Once Ling Feng got the ball, the consequences would be disastrous!

His feet were faster than his thoughts, and he accelerated without hesitation and rushed towards the ball.

However, in a short-distance sprint, Ling Feng was faster!

Before the ball was about to slip out of the sideline, he stretched out his long legs and saved the ball.

However, Zuniga also rushed in front of him.

Facing Zuniga who just blocked his passing route, Ling Feng directly pushed the ball out with the outside of his foot, and then he made a shovel!

“So fast!”

Seeing that Ling Feng was about to pass by him, Zuniga had no time to hesitate and directly made a shovel from the side and back.

His idea was very simple:

For the victory of the team, for my country, even if the ball passes, you can’t pass!

In the blink of an eye, when Ling Feng was about to dodge, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind:

[Ding! ]

[A malicious flying tackle was detected, and the counter-injury card was triggered! ]

The next second, when Zuniga used a scissor kick to hit Ling Feng’s ankle, a shrill scream suddenly sounded!

“Ah!”

However, this scream did not come from Ling Feng who was tackled, but from Zuniga who made the tackle!

Ling Feng just stumbled a little, and then kicked forward and sent a straight pass.

After the flying tackle, Zuniga curled up on the ground like a cooked prawn, covering his right ankle with a painful look on his face.

Witnessing the close contact between the two, the referee did not blow the whistle, but raised his hands high and moved forward, indicating that the attack was favorable.

Ling Feng’s last straight pass accurately found Vardy who successfully countered offside.

The latter got a super single-handed opportunity.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Vardy did not live up to the trust of the coach and teammates, and directly kicked a low shot.

The ball flew under Ospina’s left armpit and went straight into the lower left corner of the goal behind him!

With a swish, the stadium burst into amazing cheers again!

“Oh!”

“Beautiful counterattack! Beautiful shot!”

“This is just Jamie Vardy’s first touch! He helped England take the lead again!”

“The score on the scene, 2 to 1!”

Vardy, who came on as a substitute ten minutes ago, scored his second goal of this World Cup with his first touch!

This 27-year-old striker, who was selected for the national team for the first time and made his debut on the World Cup stage for the first time, became England’s super substitute!

His goal helped the Three Lions take the lead in the crucial knockout match again!

After the referee blew the whistle to make the goal effective, the Colombian players in yellow jerseys immediately rushed to the referee like a swarm of bees to protest.

In their opinion, after Ling Feng made contact with Zúñiga, Zúñiga fell to the ground in pain, but Ling Feng was fine. It must be that Ling Feng had committed some secret foul!

“He must have committed a foul just now on the wing!”

“That’s right!”

“This goal should be invalid!”

However, the referee who saw the entire flying tackle process clearly just raised his hand to signal the Colombian players to stay away from him, and explained in a deep voice:

“I saw it clearly, it was your player who flew the tackle on England’s No. 15 player and injured himself!”

Finally, after the referee showed a yellow card to the emotional Zapata and J. Luo, the Colombian players dispersed indignantly.

“Jamie, great!”

“I knew you could pass!”

“You two did such a great job!”

Just as the Three Lions were celebrating this crucial goal, live broadcasts from countries around the world began to play the replay of the entire goal.

The replay started with Gerrard clearing the ball, then Ling Feng and Zuniga made contact near the sideline, and finally Vardy made a diagonal cut past the last Colombian player and got a single-handed opportunity.

“Let’s take a look at what happened on the wing just now.”

Through the replay, both the Colombian and English coaching staffs, as well as the audience around the world, will see clearly what happened on the wing.

In short, Zuniga shoveled Ling Feng’s foot from the side and back, but did not cause any harm to the latter, but sprained his right ankle!

“Oh!”

“This action is too dangerous, fortunately Ling was not injured.”

“This is definitely a red card action!”

After watching the replay of the entire goal on the tablet, the Colombian coach and substitute players did not dare to ask the fourth official again.

The players complained.

Because this flying tackle was very dangerous and bad.

Fortunately, Ling Feng was not injured, otherwise, it is not impossible that he would be directly knocked out by the tackle.

Therefore, when Zuniga was carried off the field by the team doctor on a stretcher, the referee did not forget to give him a yellow card for the flying tackle.

Seeing this, Ling Feng, who had just celebrated with his teammates, had a calm expression.

But he couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

You let me tackle!

You deserve it!

Then, Ling Feng suddenly thought of something:

Zuniga seems to be the guy who hit Neymar in this World Cup, right?

Now that he is injured and off the field, will the incident of Neymar being hit by him not happen again?
