[Football Fans] Glory

There were screams from the audience in the stadium, and on the court, the players who fell to the ground were panting heavily. The force of the impact made the players almost lose all their strength in a few seconds.

Guti stood aside, looking worriedly at his teammates. The team doctor who was called to play was looking at Alfonso, and the referee was waiting for the team doctor to make a decision to see if it was necessary to carry the player to the sidelines first.

Of course, the penalty for the foul player can be carried out first.

Referee Coppado from Austria took out a yellow sign from his pocket, lowered his head and wrote a few words, then raised it high towards England player Neville.

Neville complained and muttered a few times, but he didn't say anything more. His tackle just now was indeed a bit ruthless. Just look at the Spanish striker Alfonso who couldn't get up for almost a minute.

The England fans outside the stadium roared loudly, flopping and flopping...

The Spanish fans looked at the situation on the field worriedly. Many girls covered their mouths, for fear that they would cry.

The assistants ran into the field with the referee's permission and carried Alfonso out.

Although only a contusion, it was clear that Alfonso would not be able to continue playing.

Camacho looked around on the bench seriously, and called No. 7 Lopez, "After you go up, let Guti's position move forward, and you push him..."

Lopez seized the time to move his legs while listening carefully to the coach's instructions.

Substitution signs have already been played on the sidelines, Spanish substitutions, No. 11 off, No. 7 on.

Lopez, who hurried onto the field, conveyed the coach's intentions to the players on the field. Everyone nodded and dispersed.

Now is the 55th minute of the second half, and Spain was forced to make adjustments on the field, with one less striker and one midfielder.

But everyone in the team knows that although Guti has been wandering in the midfield or attacking midfielder position, he was born as a forward and has a good sense of smell in front of the goal. This can only be regarded as returning him to his old profession. That's all.

Guti knew that there was no other way. They had already lost one of their excellent forwards, and now they have injured another one. Another forward, Amor, has never played much. The coach dared not let him play, fearing that his coordination would be more troublesome. , I had no choice but to push myself up.

The opponent has a very good striker.

Guti turned his head and looked over there. Gascoigne, who was a little bald and a little fat, had already scored a goal in the first half for England. They are currently leading Spain with a score of [-]-[-]. They must hurry up.

Spain's possession of the ball, Enrique kicked out the ball, Lopez, who had just entered the field, made a transfer immediately after touching the ball, and Hierro, who was attacking on the other side, quickly received the ball and passed it again. Donato took the ball and turned around. , Cut inside.

Ince stepped forward to block, and Southgate immediately stepped up behind him, cutting off Donato's exit point.

It seemed that he couldn't break through, and Donato didn't stay too long. He kicked the ball with his back heel.

Guti grabbed this point, facing Neville without hesitation, he made a few extraordinary moves with both feet, Neville was very steady and did not move, just staring at the ball under Guti's feet.

There is nothing he can do about his foul just now. If he doesn’t shovel his opponent, he will be single-handed as long as he passes by. Anyway, he is near the sideline. Even if he gives a free kick, he is unlikely to shoot. , Neville's judgment is still very accurate, he won the card but also destroyed a chance of the opponent.

Now this opponent was different from the striker just now. He lowered his body, staring at his opponent like a hunter catching prey.

Neville has a feeling that this opponent is much more difficult than the striker just now.

Sure enough, a few quick fake moves almost dazzled his eyes, but Neville held back and didn't move.

Seeing his reaction, Guti knew that he couldn't adjust him for the time being, so he rolled his eyes, kicked the ball, and he picked up the ball, then turned around and leaned over, this action made Neville stunned, that is, this In a matter of seconds, Guti pushed the ball out with the outside instep while leaning against him.

Pizzi rushed out from the side and ran with the ball.

Neville was taken aback and broke.

He was intercepted by Guti's movement, behind... When he turned around and chased again, it was already too late.

However, Southgate has already returned. He rushed directly from the back side and fell to the ground with a side shovel.

Piji, who was directly knocked out of the bottom line by his momentum, bumped into the billboard placed on the sidelines, scaring several photographers who were shooting to avoid it.

Southgate's perfect defense made many professionals nod and praise.

Seeing what happened to teammate Pizi, Guti couldn't help but think of the scene where he was shoveled out like this last season.

Running over to look at Pizzy, Pizy grinned and got up by himself.

"The English are desperate!"

Pizzy muttered.

"Now it's up to us to go all out."

Guti shrugged.

A corner for Spain.

The lagging Spaniards ran over one after another, and Pizzi was about to serve a corner kick. Guti whispered, "Send it later."

Pizzie nodded.

The players huddled together in the penalty area, and it took several whistles from the referee to stop the shoving among them.

The ball is delivered and the players in the box try to jump up for the header, only to have the ball fly over their heads.

The English players looked back one after another, and their captain Ince was jumping up behind him, and he joined a Spanish player in the air.

The ball bounced again, and England player McManaman kicked the ball out of the baseline.

Another corner kick.

However, the referee blew his whistle to stop the game.

Because England's captain Ince was bleeding from his head, he was hit on the brow bone when he was fighting for the top with Enrique just now.

Enrique sighed, he thought it was too bad for Ince to compete with him for the top, at least it would be the same with other big men, Ince was only 1.78 tall, a whole head lower than him, he jumped up and bumped into him , may not happen to happen.

But the England captain who was scolded for being in a bad state was really working hard.

While waiting for the team doctor to quickly stop Ince from bleeding, the game continued.

Another corner for Spain.

This time, it was Pizi who served.

But this time, he still sent a back point high-altitude ball.

It was Hierro who grabbed the first point.

He jumped high from behind and headed the ball, but it wasn't a shot, it was a late pass.

Guti, who was lurking on the other side, took the ball and used two and a half rotations to bypass the opponent after receiving the ball, and then passed the ball down the bottom.

This time, they succeeded.

Enrique volleyed and the ball went in.

One to one, Spain pulled back the score.

Hugging with Enrique, Guti murmured while running: It is said that Spanish forwards can't score goals. It's gone!

Well, no matter how Guti muttered, he got an assist anyway.

But can he be satisfied with this?

of course not.

So Guti kept running back and forth in the midfield, waiting for opportunities.

However, the English defended very tightly today. Facing the Spaniard, who was rated as a second-rate player, they did not dare to relax at all.

Sweat dripped down and stained the eyelashes, and he raised his hand to wipe off the sweat, and Guti panted.

Against England's strong attack and strong defense, Spain has also tried its best. Unfortunately, today the English used their tough style to block the Spaniard's delicate footwork and skills. The two sides have been deadlocked at a one-to-one score.

The time of the whole game is almost up, and the two sides still can't make any achievements.

Guti already felt that his physical strength was going to be unable to keep up.

Damn, how can this be?

Pounding the ground bitterly, Guti struggled to get up.

Another chance was lost, because of his lack of physical fitness, his shot just now was weak and was saved by Seaman.

On the sidelines, Camacho was hesitating whether he should replace Guti. Obviously, even if the game was pulled into overtime, Guti had no energy to continue.

Thinking of this, Camacho glanced at England's bench, and sure enough, the opponent was already considering a substitution.

But looking at it, they mainly want to replace players who have already received yellow cards, not matchup substitutions.

Looking at the watch, it has entered stoppage time, Camacho no longer hesitates, and immediately applies for a substitution.

Exit Guti, enter No. 15 Caminero.

It looks like it's preparing for a penalty shootout.

When Guti heard his name being called, he turned his head, only to notice that the sign for a substitution on the sidelines had been raised.

Although he was not happy in his heart, Guti knew that if he played overtime, he would really have no energy at all.

Walking slowly, I heard the boos of the England fans on the sidelines, which were booing him to waste time.

But Guti ignored the boos lazily. The exhausted Guti and Caminero hugged each other, took the coat handed over by the staff and sat back on the bench. If he is sweaty, he still has to put on a coat, otherwise he will catch a cold easily.

"Thanks for your hard work."

His teammates patted him on the shoulder.

Guti smiled wryly. Although his damn physical fitness is better than last year, his physical fitness was completely exhausted after a fierce season. In addition, he fought hard today. Guti pulled up The ball pants looked at his legs, tsk, there are several pieces of bruises, and his legs will definitely be sore tomorrow.

On the court, the official game has ended, the two sides are tied one to one, and will enter overtime.

Doctors, assistants and substitute players from both sides ran over to give water and massage to teammates to help them recover some strength.

Guti sat here, a little frustrated.

Alfonso sat down on his legs, "Don't be like this Jose, you still have many opportunities."

"Hmm~"

Looking weakly at his teammates lying on the sidelines, he felt more and more depressed and uneasy. All this seemed to go back to a long time ago. In his memory, Spain finally fell in front of the England team in this tournament. .

Is the inertia of history still like this?

Guti covered his face, a little afraid to read on.

Alfonso looked at his little teammates and sighed, "Jose, don't be like this, your teammates are still struggling, it's not good for you to look like this."

Hearing Alfonso's criticism, Guti raised his head, "I'm sorry!"

"Everyone is still working hard."

Alfonso patted Guti's arm, "Come on for them!"

"understood."

Overtime begins soon.

Guti and all the players off the field stood up. They looked at their teammates who were fighting hard on the field seriously and cheered for them loudly.

The physically exhausted players dragged their tired bodies and ran on the field, and fell down on the field from time to time, but no one would give up. They ran and shouted, and only had the jumping football in their eyes.

A total of 30 minutes in the first and second halves of the overtime game passed quickly, and neither side scored a goal.

In this way, it will enter a brutal penalty shootout.

Although the English are notoriously bad at penalty kicks in international competitions, it is a pity that the Spaniard is the same, and penalty shootouts are not dominant.

The captains of both sides had a guessing game, but Hierro lost.

Subisaretta stood in front of the door first.

England's first penalty taker was their vice-captain Shearer.

Shearer wiped the ball hard, put it away, and stepped back.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, he stepped out.

It was a low, flat fastball, and the ball went into the net before Subizarreta had time to react.

The English take a point first.

England goalkeeper Seaman flapped his gloves and bent over.

Pizzie was the first to appear.

But he hesitated a little while kicking the ball, and the ball was half a beat slower, and it was this slow half-beat movement that was caught by Seaman, and he slapped it with his palm.

The Spaniard missed his chance.

Pizzy knelt down on the ground covering his face, but Ye Luo walked over to pull him up, and patted him comfortingly.

The second England player to come on was McManaman, who scored the second point with a volley.

On the Spanish side is Enrique. He looked at the opponent's goalkeeper with his waist, and then calmly volleyed from the lower left corner, and the goal was scored.

The third Englishman played was Sheringham. His excellent technique in front of the goal was his greatest excellence. He made another push from the left corner and scored the goal.

The British have already scored three points.

And Spain's third player was Alcorta, who volleyed with all his strength so that Seaman threw the ball and bounced it into the net.

Three to two.

The fourth Englishman to come on was Gareth Southgate, who took two jumps in place before blasting a powerful shot into the top right corner.

Four to two.

Now the pressure is all on the Spaniard's side. If they don't score this goal, they don't have to kick the fifth goal.

Camacho regretted it a bit. He would have ranked Hierro first if he knew it earlier. It is better for players who can withstand the pressure to take penalties. Otherwise, why are most of them in the backcourt during the penalty shootout? One is that they have good physical strength. , The other is the strong ability to resist pressure, and it is impossible to kick down the midfielder who cannot withstand the pressure.

All eyes were on Spain's fourth player to start the game.

Balsu licked his lips under the trembling pressure, his whole body was sweating from tension.

Usually, it is no problem to score eight or ten penalty kicks, but at this time, it is really hard to say whether you can score.

While swinging the ball, he pulled up his jersey and wiped the ball again, took a deep breath, and took two steps back.

The whistle sounded, and Balsu trotted two steps, raising his leg to take the ball.

At that moment, as if time had stopped, the audience was silent as if no one was there, the ball flashed in the air and fell.

Jumping up, Seaman stretched out his long arms, maybe just half a second, he touched the football.

The naughty football bounced off Seaman's fingertips, and bounced off the goal post.

Did not enter.

The ball didn't go in.

Seaman jumped up from the ground, he raised his fists high and roared crazily.

The England players rushed over excitedly and hugged him tightly.

The lost Baersu squatted on the ground, staring at the goal with blank eyes, and slipped from the world to hell with just one click.

Hierro, who didn't even have a chance to play, put his hands on his waist, stared blankly at everything in front of him, and then let out a long sigh.

He walked over slowly, pulled up his teammates one by one, patted them to cheer them up.

They then went under the stands where the many Spanish fans were and bowed down to thank them for their support.

The fans cried and applauded them.

Anyway, their players fought to the last minute and they are our heroes.

Cheers to you!

The author has something to say: PS: In reality, the score of the game was 0-0, 4-2 on penalties, England won, and Seaman saved three penalties.However, the order of playing and the players in the article are all made up by me.

PS: This is 14's first international competition. I didn't intend to let him become an international superstar in one go. Of course, his outstanding performance will let everyone know that Spain has such a character~~
