Dominate the midfield

Chapter 687 Chapter 686: The Longest Long Shot in World Cup History!

Harvey's direct free kick went towards the left post of the goal, and the angle was extremely tricky!

The football flashed past Oakes' stretched palm!

Despair appeared in Oakes' eyes, England fans covered their mouths in horror, and Spanish fans' eyes shone with dazzling light.

"Pong!..."

With a loud noise, the football hit the post hard and bounced back into the penalty area!
Before the expressions of the fans on both sides changed, a red figure and a white figure headed towards the football. The red figure was even faster. In order to save time, he stretched out his right foot and kicked hard towards the football with the sole of his shoe!
This is an unconventional shooting action, but at the moment it is the most correct way to shoot.

The football suddenly changed direction and went towards the goal again!

At this moment, Oakes, who was lying on the turf, couldn't react at all. He stretched out his right hand dejectedly...

In the blink of an eye, the football flew across the goal line and into the net!
The Spanish national TV commentator grabbed the microphone and roared: "The ball is in! It's in! It's in! It's in! It's in!..."

Kent, the commentator of Sky TV, shook his head in pain and said: "The defense in the penalty area in England is not tight enough, and Alonso has a chance to make a follow-up shot. The score becomes [-]-[-], and the two sides are back on the same starting line again..."

The German TV said loudly: "The game entered a good stage. The tenacious Spaniard took advantage of the free kick to equalize the score. England's set-piece defense is really mediocre. They conceded at least three goals from set-pieces.

After leading the score, Capello changed his tactics and retreated across the board. Now it seems that this tactical adjustment was not successful, and he paid the price for his conservatism!
He can implement the "one-to-zero doctrine" in Juventus. Juventus' defense is undoubtedly reassuring, but England's defense is really bad, especially the defense of set-pieces, which often has loopholes.

After England went ahead, he abandoned his previous very successful high press. This was a very wrong approach, and he paid a heavy price for his mistake.

So, will he adjust his tactics next? "

The commentator of France [-] said loudly: "The score became [-]-[-], and the suspense came back again. Will this be the turning point of this game? Spain relied on this goal to inspire fighting spirit, and then beat England?"

Just as the major TV stations were expressing their opinions, the Spanish fans turned the Johannesburg Soccer City Stadium into a red happy world, and the hearts of the England fans were suspended.

In the VIP box, Queen Sofia of Spain, Princess Felipe and Princess Leticia stood up gracefully and applauded for their team...

Not far away, Prince Harry looked at the stadium in pain, looking at the slightly frustrated England players, he could understand their mood at the moment.

"No! They just equalized the score. Since we can overtake once, we can overtake the second time!"

He shifted his gaze to Wang Rui, clenched his fists and said, "Wang, you won't let the victory slip away from your hands like this. Wang, you will definitely make this great night your own. Then, show your ambition!" , lead England to victory!"

In the stands, Bobby Charlton and Geoff Hurst looked dignified. They felt the heavy pressure, which came from Spain.

This Spanish team can be said to be the most powerful national team in the history of Spain. There are many talented players and mature styles of play. Grams are maturing.

Together with captain Iker Casillas, they are the strongest shield in the World Cup this year, and they are the team with the fewest goals conceded in the semi-finals.They only conceded two goals in the group stage, and in the previous three knockout games, they have kept clean sheets!
This is also an important reason why they can enter the finals.

The Spanish midfielder is known as one of the most luxurious midfielders in the world. Harvey and Iniesta have already proved their strength in La Liga, Champions League and European Cup.

In this World Cup, Torres is in a sluggish state, but Villa's performance is eye-catching, and he has scored six goals, ranking second in the scorer list.

Bobby Charlton pinned his hopes on Wang Rui, and muttered to himself: "Wang, you can even break Fontaine's record, so go and break Geoff's record..."

Geoff Hurst sighed and said: "I hope he can break my record, but the football now is different from our time. Our defense at that time was not as strong as it is now.

It is very difficult for Wang Zai to score goals, and it is too difficult to break my record..."

Bobby Charlton knew that his old friend was telling the truth, but his confidence did not waver: "44 years later, the World Cup should return to the country where this sport was founded."

Geoff Hearst was silent.

……

On the field, Alonso, the goal hero who helped Spain equalize the score, galloped on the turf, he was like a burning flame...

Wang Rui wasn't depressed. After two brutal knockout matches, his mental endurance was greatly improved.

In any case, the situation in this game was much better than that against Uruguay in the quarter-finals. England not only did not lose one man, but also did not fall behind.

At this time, Girard played the role that the captain should have. While comforting his teammates, he boosted morale: "Brothers! They just equalized the score, we are not behind!

Brothers, come on, we will definitely score again and lead again! "

The England players exhaled a foul breath, their frustration was exhaled out of their bodies, and their strong fighting spirit returned to them. Gillard's words were like sparks, rekindling the flames of war in their hearts...

After the game restarted, England stepped up their offense, while Spain put more energy in defense.

The score is different, the mentality of the players is different, and the tactics are also different.

England continued to make a fuss in the middle. Lampard and Wang Rui made a wall-hitting two-for-one in the opponent's hinterland. Lampard kicked a diagonal line, trying to pass the football into the Spanish penalty area, creating a murderous intent.

The extremely experienced Puyol flew forward and cut off the football halfway. Rooney quickly counter-robbed.

Puyol passed the football to the wing. After Ramos took the ball, he made a diagonal pass with Ilista, who responded, and went straight into the England half with the football.

The English players quickly retreated like a tide, and Spain did not rush to develop football into the English penalty area. They patiently poured their feet, and England pressed forward step by step.

The oppressive defense made Spain very uncomfortable. They suddenly accelerated their offensive rhythm. Harvey made a cross pass near the center circle, and the football flew towards Alonso.

Perhaps the goal just now gave Alonso too much confidence. He didn't stop the ball, but shot angrily!

The football is like a cannonball, roaring towards England's goal!

Sky TV commentator Kent said sarcastically: "What is Alonso doing? Long shot?
If so, it would be the longest shot in World Cup history!
So far, he wants to break the England goal? "

Oaks didn't panic when he saw the football getting closer and closer to him. He jumped up and lifted the football over the crossbar, and Spain took a corner kick.

Almost all England players returned to inside and outside the penalty area, and Casillas also stepped out of the goal line, he wanted to see more clearly.

Xavi kicked the football into the English penalty area, and the English penalty area was in chaos. Oakes jumped high and punched the football over Pique's head and out of the penalty area.

The football flew out of the penalty area, Wang Rui moved to meet the ball, spread his chest and unloaded the football, then looked up at the Spanish goal.

Casillas saw Wang Rui's eyes and sneered in his heart: Damn it, do you still want to shoot directly?
Shoot, shoot, I'll wait for you...

At this moment, Wang Rui had already made a decision in his mind. He pushed the football out of the outside of his right foot, then took two quick steps forward, and raised his right leg high!

The next moment, he kicked the football hard with the back of his right foot!
The football flies off the turf!

The Spanish national TV commentator exclaimed: "What is the king doing? Long shot? Are you kidding me!"

"If this is a long-range shot, it will definitely be the longest long-range shot in the history of the World Cup!"

The content and tone of his last sentence are the same as the Sky TV commentator Kent 1 minute ago.
