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

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 135: The Double D’s Farewell [4,000-word chapter]

“A wonderful clearance!”

“As expected of the captain!”

“Thiago Silva continues to protect the Brazilian defense with his outstanding performance!”

This clearance immediately caused a round of applause from the Brazilian fans in the stadium.

After completing this clearance with ease, the sister-in-law immediately shouted to Maicon:

“Cisenando (Maicon)! Concentrate! Don’t let him pass you so easily!”

Maicon did not say anything, but just raised his hand to give a thumbs up, and then he rushed to the sideline, preventing Vardy from sending a quick side ball.

Seeing this, the sister-in-law began to direct the teammates to stand and defend.

Waiting for Baines to come up and send a boundary ball, Vardy took the ball with his back and immediately passed the ball back to Ling Feng who was waiting.

Seeing that the Brazilian players had basically returned to defense, he did not rush to pass the ball, but passed the ball back to the backcourt.

Through the backcourt pass, the Brazilian formation was indeed lured out.

Seeing Ling Feng take the ball in the backcourt, Vardy returned to the center circle line, without any hesitation, and immediately started running forward!

The next second, Ling Feng turned around and directly made a long diagonal pass over the top, accurately hitting the space behind Maicon.

“Ling Feng. Long pass!”

“Vardy and Maicon are chasing!”

“Who got the ball first?”

The two performed speed and passion on the wing, both wanting to get the ball first.

In the end, it was the younger Vardy who caught up with the ball first.

He pushed the ball forward, and looked up into the penalty area, and found that Sturridge was closely followed by David Luiz.

In a flash, Vardy chose to cut inside.

However, just as he pushed the ball out with his right foot and cut into the penalty area, a yellow figure suddenly rushed up and blocked his way.

He robbed the ball accurately and poked it away from his feet!

Looking closely, it was the captain and leader of the Brazilian defense, Thiago Silva!

After poking the ball away, the sister-in-law accelerated and passed the ball to the defensive midfielder Fernandinho before Ling Feng who inserted from behind.

Fernandinho passed the ball directly to Neymar who retreated to the left to receive the ball. The latter rubbed the ball with the outside of his foot without stopping the ball, and then made a Bergkamp turn.

The speed of the action connection was so fast that even Henderson had no time to reach out to stop him, and he was passed by him.

Neymar dribbled the ball forward!

But standing in front of him was the last barrier before the back line, the captain of the Three Lions, Gerrard!

Gerrard showed no mercy and slid forward to knock Neymar to the ground with the ball.

This tactical foul prevented Brazil’s rapid counterattack.

Glancing at Neymar, who was lying on the ground with his legs covered and in pain, Gerrard stepped forward and patted his body, and then asked in English:

“Hey, are you okay?”

At this time, Fernandinho stepped forward and argued with Gerrard in English: “You don’t have to kick so hard, right?”

“It’s just part of the game.”

“Your studs are shining.”

Seeing Gerrard surrounded by the Brazilian double defensive midfielders, Ling Feng and Henderson immediately rushed to the scene.

“Hey, stay away from my captain!”

Henderson stood in front of Gerrard, while Ling Feng opened his arms to try to separate them.

However, Fernandinho pushed him in annoyance, and cursed:

“Get out of here, kid!”

This sentence and the action of pushing him directly angered Gerrard, who was originally very calm.

He pushed Henderson aside and pushed Fernandinho with his chest, pushing him back two steps.

“Say it again if you have the guts!”

Facing Gerrard’s angry eyes, Fernandinho was directly scared and was directly pulled away by Paulinho.

Ling Feng stared at his back and silently wrote down Fernandinho’s name in his little notebook.

Fernandinho, right? I’ll remember you.

When we get to the Premier League, it’s up to me to deal with you!

Seeing the conflict, other players from both teams also rushed to the scene.

Just as the two sides were pushing and shoving, and saying dirty words, the referee finally arrived.

He showed Gerrard and Fernandinho a yellow card each to calm them down.

In addition, Neymar also got up from the ground, and this small conflict was resolved.

Neymar was fine, he was just lying on the ground pretending.

But

Knowing that it was that sinister guy, he kicked him in the chaos, which made him turn over suddenly, wanting to see clearly who kicked him.

In the end, until the players of both sides left, Neymar did not find the “real murderer” who kicked him

In the rest of the first half, the right side guarded by Maicon became the main attack direction of England.

It is interesting to say that Brazil mainly attacked England’s right side.

And England also attacked Brazil’s right side.

Obviously, the key to winning or losing in this quarter-final lies in who can blow up the opponent’s right side first!

After running back and forth several times, although Maicon did not lose his position obviously, he was a little overwhelmed.

Looking at the panting Maicon, Thiago Silva couldn’t help but step forward and ask in Portuguese:

“Sisenando, are you okay?”

“I’m fine!”

Although he answered like this.

But, Maicon had already started cursing in his heart.

Although this England No. 21 kid is not as fast or strong as the Welshman back then.

But this kid can run.

And his core strength is sufficient. Even if he stretched out his hand to pull, he could not slow down his sprint speed much.

For Maicon, whose physical function has seriously declined, it would be better if Vardy could overtake him in one go like the Welshman did back then.

In that case, he would not have to fight so hard to block him and snatch the ball.

But he couldn’t do it.

Vardy was just like a blunt knife. He couldn’t cut it once, but had to keep sawing Maicon’s bones.

Continuous fast-paced physical confrontation and defense are the most exhausting!

Fortunately, Scolari on the sidelines watched England repeatedly attack Maicon from behind, making the former world’s No. 1 right back exhausted, and hurriedly called Fernandinho to come over to assist.

This gave Maicon a chance to breathe.

In this way, the two sides ended the first half of the game with a mutual explosion on the right side.

After a short halftime break, the two sides changed sides and continued the game.

In the second half, since Gerrard had a yellow card, Brazil changed its offensive direction and focused on the middle.

Neymar became more unscrupulous when cutting into the middle, and Oscar and Paulinho frequently inserted, trying to blast England’s gate from the middle!

If Gerrard could be sent off with two yellow cards and one red card, they would win!

In desperation, Ling Feng had to change from a front midfielder to a central midfielder and stay in the midfield area to assist in defense.

When Ling Feng, the core of the organization in the front court, moved back and had to divide his physical energy to defense, his and England’s offensive threats would definitely be greatly reduced.

Even if he could still use the precise diagonal long pass to hit behind him during the transition between offense and defense, allowing the two wingers to attack Brazil’s back line.

However, the happy boy on the right was completely blocked by Marcelo and had no chance at all.

And Vardy on the left, although he repeatedly took advantage of Maicon’s wing duels.

However, without Ling Feng’s support in the middle, he could only fight alone on the wing.

However, his footwork was not enough for him to pass Maicon and his sister-in-law who came to defend and then complete the shot.

Even if Hodgson replaced Vardy with Sturridge, Sturridge was unable to create more threats on the wing.

On the contrary, Brazil seized the opportunity and expanded the score again:

In the 65th minute of the game, Neymar dribbled along the middle, played a wall match with Oscar, and then passed the ball diagonally to Hulk who was inserted on the right.

The latter took the ball to the bottom and made a triangle pass back, and Paulinho followed up with a heavy shot, which went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

2-0!

After leading by two goals, the Brazilians exposed their natural laxity, and their pressing and running became a little slack.

And five minutes later, England, with a full formation, launched a smooth offensive!

Ling Feng made a diagonal pass to the back of Maicon on the left, and Vardy, who was running at high speed, got the ball and made a triangle pass in time.

Then Ling Feng rushed to the outside of the penalty area and was about to kick the ball, but was tackled by Thiago Silva who rushed out of the penalty area.

Although he missed the chance to kick.

However, he caused his sister-in-law to get a yellow card and got a free kick opportunity in a great position outside the penalty area, which was a good result.

Since Rooney, the first free kicker, was not on the court, this free kick should be taken by Gerrard.

The penalty spot was about 20 meters away from the goal, and the position was very correct.

However, the distance was too close, and the elevator ball or the falling leaf ball did not have enough distance to fall, which was very suitable for the arc ball or Gerrard’s heavy artillery to hit the goal.

However, the human wall was also very close, and if you want to shoot around

The heavy artillery of the human wall not only needs to be strong, but also needs to add some arc.

This is a test of the players’ footwork.

At this moment, the director on the scene is also very good at handling things. He directly pointed the camera at the former Three Lions captain and free kick master Beckham in the stands with a serious face.

The language of the camera is self-evident.

At this moment, millions of English fans hope that Beckham, who is sitting in the stands watching the game, can take the free kick.

Unfortunately, this is impossible to happen.

Bang!

With Gerrard’s powerful volley, the ball flew over the head of the human wall formed by Brazilian players, but also directly hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

The next second, both the English fans in the stadium and the British audience in front of the TV sighed at the same time.

The game has been going on for 70 minutes, and they are still behind 2-0.

The chance of winning is already very slim.

At this time, Hodgson, who felt powerless, also made substitutions.

In order to let the substitute players feel the atmosphere of the World Cup, he used up all three substitutions at once.

He replaced the three main players, Ling Feng, Henderson, and Baines, with Lampard, Wilshere, and Luke Shaw!

This substitution decision did not surprise people too much.

Seeing the substitution decision, Martin Taylor, who was explaining on the scene, couldn’t help but explain:

“In the 70th minute of the game, England used up all the substitutions at once and prepared to fight to the death!”

Although he said so.

However, even Taylor himself knew very well that replacing the main players with substitutes who had little playing time at once was basically a declaration of surrender.

It is worth mentioning that when Lampard, wearing the No. 8 jersey, stood on the sidelines waiting to appear on the field, all the English fans stood up and gave him the warmest applause.

Before the start of the World Cup, Lampard decided that he would withdraw from the national team after the World Cup.

Therefore, this will be Lampard’s last appearance in the World Cup.

What makes many English people feel sad and nostalgic is that this will be the last time that the two Gerrards will appear on the field at the same time!

Gerrard is 34 years old and Lampard is 36 years old.

The two have been with them for more than ten years and have made great contributions to the national team.

In other words, the next 20 minutes will be the curtain call performance of the two Gerrards in the Three Lions!

At least they can accompany the two to complete this last journey.

Ling Feng, who was replaced, ran to the sidelines and hugged Lampard.

Back to the bench, high-fived his teammates one by one, took the coat handed over by Rooney, and sat in the empty seat next to him.

“Huha. Huha”

The dense cup schedule, coupled with the fact that most of the game was spent on defense, made Ling Feng a little overwhelmed.

The good news is that this is his last game of the season.

The bad news is that this is the last game of the Three Lions in this World Cup.

After Ling Feng left the field, Wilshere, who was once known as “the core of England’s midfield for the next ten years”, became the core of the organization on the field.

This young man who fought against Habab alone in his peak period, used active running and dribbling to organize in the midfield, and still played sporadic attacks.

It’s a pity that such an attack can’t threaten the goal of the Brazilian team at all.

As time went by, a small episode occurred on the field in the 80th minute of the game.

Perhaps the victory was already decided, Neymar began to show off his tricks in front of Lampard.

Lampard certainly didn’t give him face, and directly gave him a sweeping kick to teach him what it means to respect his predecessors!

Accompanied by screams, Neymar fell to the ground like a felled wood.

Seeing this, Scolari, who was afraid that his core would be injured, quickly replaced Neymar with Ramires.

Watching Neymar limping off the field and being helped off by the team doctor, the Brazilian fans at the scene also gave heart-wrenching applause of encouragement.

Ling Feng, who was watching this scene from the sidelines, was also moved.

Thiago Silva received a yellow card when he tackled him, and he will definitely be suspended for the next game.

Now Neymar was tackled off the field by Lampard again, and I don’t know if he can play in the next game against Germany.

If Neymar can’t play, will Brazil, which lacks a core player in front and behind, be beaten by Germany in a world-shocking 7-1 tragedy as in the original history?

Once this thought came up, Ling Feng threw it out of his mind.

Whether Brazil will be beaten to a pulp by Germany in the next game has nothing to do with him.

He only knows that his first World Cup journey has come to an end.

It’s time for him to think about it,

What should I do during the offseason?
