As a goalkeeper, carry the team forward

Chapter 344 I'm Embarrassed

In the eager anticipation of the fans, the World Cup final day finally arrived.

Different from the usual games, the live broadcast signal was transmitted to the whole world early, and the fans were able to witness the pre-match warm-up of the stars.

In the live broadcast, Jose and his teammates are playing on the sidelines.

Jose's successive outstanding performances finally completely conquered these arrogant British players.

After the warm-up, the players returned to the locker room.

The Luzhniki Stadium began the pre-match performances.

The first is the Russian dance, and the review of the wonderful moments of this World Cup. Jose's 35-yard shocking world wave was highlighted.

Then came stars such as Nicky Jam and Will Smith to sing on stage.

What made the fans cry was that Ronaldinho appeared on the field. He played a guest role as a drummer and together with all the beauties gave a wonderful performance to the fans.

The live performance came to an end, and players from both sides came to the player channel.

Although Jose looked calm on the outside, there was an unspeakable excitement in his heart.

[New mission release: Lead the team to win the World Cup, reward golden treasure box*1, mysterious gift bag*1. 】

A system that hadn't been seen for a long time suddenly appeared.

Just when Jose was about to shut down the system, Lahm, as the captain of the last World Cup winner Germany, came to the scene today with the Hercules Cup.

Players from both sides entered the field, lined up, and the national anthem was played.

Jose hummed the Chinese national anthem.

The China National Football Team was unable to make an appearance in the World Cup, and Jose could only make up for this regret.

Players from both sides shook hands, and Kane got the first kick-off opportunity on behalf of the England team.

In terms of the starting list, the England team continued to use the previous formation.

As for the French team, Deschamps put up a 4231 offensive and defensive balance formation, the specific list is as follows.

Goalkeeper: Lloris.

Defenders: Lucas Hernandez, Umtiti, Varane, Pavard.

Back midfielder: Matuidi, Kanter.

Attacking midfielders: Griezmann, Pogba, Mbappe.

Forward: Giroud.

With the whistle of the referee, the much-anticipated World Cup finals began.

In the middle circle, Kane kicked off and passed it directly back to Henderson.

Henderson then passes back to Jose.

Jose held the ball slightly, and before Mbappe arrived, he drove to the midfield position with his big foot.

The England team organized the first wave of offense.

On the left side of the front court, Kane and Varane competed for the ball, and finally knocked the ball out of the sideline.

England's first wave of offense stopped here.

The French team took the boundary kick.

The ball ended up at Mbappe's feet.

England players are well aware of Mbappé's strength, and Trippier decisively destroyed the ball out of the sideline.

After 1 minute, a long pass from Pogba's rib position was passed into the penalty area.

Stones was just about to fight for the top and make a clearance.

Jose was in place, and he yelled at Stones: "Let me do it."

Hearing Jose's words, Stones stopped in his tracks.

In the middle of the penalty area, Jose easily confiscated Pogba's pass.

Jose quickly took the goal kick, and England played a wave of quick counterattacks.

It's a pity that Sterling didn't hold the ball well and was cleared by Varane out of the touchline.

In the 4th minute, Ashley Young made a cross from the bottom.

Varane played well again, he blocked the ball before Kane.

France got the ball.

However, their counterattack failed to break through the England defense.

In the 7th minute, the England team organized an attack again.

Ashley Young made a cross from the left.

This time it was Mbappe who completed the blocking and clearance.

One minute later, Kyle Walker made a pass from the right.

This time it was ejected by Pawar.

In the 10th minute, Henderson made a long pass from the midfielder.

Sterling stopped the ball slightly, but the ball rolled out of the baseline.

In the 14th minute, Sterling advanced from the left and passed the ball low and flat. Umtiti cleared the ball in a key position.

In the opening ten minutes, although the England team took control of the offensive, there were no real opportunities at all.

The French team put down their strong team posture and actively shrunk their defense.

"What kind of strong team is this French team? They only know that they are huddled in their own half." Immediately, some fans said so.

In fact, this is not a fan's idea.

In this World Cup, the French team never had more than 40% possession of the ball in the knockout stage.

Against Belgium, France had less than a third of possession.

It is this pragmatic style of play that allowed them to eliminate Argentina and Belgium.

Although the England team has only conceded one goal so far, it is because of Jose.

In the 17th minute, Griezmann took the ball from the right side of the front court. He was just about to turn around when Henderson killed him and brought him down.

The French team got a free kick on the right side of the front court, and the penalty spot was 40 yards away from the goal.

Griezmann is responsible for the penalty.

Jose immediately arranged for his teammates to line up the wall.

Griezmann took a free kick and passed the ball into the middle of the penalty area with his left foot.

At the penalty spot, Varane kept up with the diving jump to the top.

Jose paid close attention to Varane's header.

As a result, Varane just rubbed the ball with his hair.

Then, something unexpected happened.

3 yards in front of the goal at the back point, Harry Kane fought for the top to make a clearance, and in the chaos, he even pushed the ball towards the near side of the goal.

The speed of the ball was so fast that the ball crossed the goal line in an instant.

Although Jose reacted in time, he only had time to touch the ball with his fingertips.

The ball is in.

Relying on Harry Kane's own goal, the French team unexpectedly took the lead.

And Harry Kane was embarrassed all of a sudden.

The game continues.

The next game completely entered the French team's favorite rhythm.

England were forced to press the attack.

But Jose could only look forward eagerly in the backcourt.

With the counterattack speed of the French team, Jose did not dare to press it out.

Although speaking of pure speed, Mbappe can't outrun Jose, but Jose, who is out of the penalty area and can't use his hands, will have to be halved.

In the 20th minute, the England team got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Ashley Young takes the free kick and crosses it.

Stones shook his head and attacked the goal.

It's a pity that it is higher than the top of the beam.

The England team did not have the good luck of the French team.

After 2 minutes, the French team counterattacked.

Pogba passes the ball.

Mbappe advances at high speed after taking the ball.

On the right side of the penalty area, Mbappe made a pass.

Seeing that Giroud was about to hit the ball, Jose hit in time.

Jose snatched the ball out of the air before Giroud.

In the 27th minute, England's efforts seemed to pay off.

Jose kicked off the ball with a big kick in the backcourt and sent it directly to the opponent's arc island.

Henderson got the first kick, and he flew the header directly to the right side of the penalty area.

Trippier again headed the ball into the middle.

Kane headed the goal.

The result was blocked by Lori's fists.

The ball fell to the unmarked Sterling.

On the edge of the penalty area, Sterling faced the empty goal and shot hard.

The goal that my grandma could score was actually sent flying by Sterling.

England missed the chance to equalize.

The French team stepped up their counterattacks, but Mbappé and Pogba's shots failed to penetrate Jose's ten fingers.

In the 33rd minute, the French team got another corner kick.

Griezmann takes the corner.

In the forward position, Matuidi flew the header.

The ball flew over the penalty area and hit Trippier's hands.

French players were the first to complain about Trippier's handball.

Due to the chaos in the penalty area at that time, the referee was not sure whether it was a handball.

There is no way, the referee can only turn to VAR for help.

Through the VAR replay, the referee confirmed the fact that Trippier had a handball, and he awarded a penalty without hesitation.

　In fact, it was Mandzukic who scored the own goal at that time.
