The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

In the second half, the Italian team continued to choose defensive counterattacks.

Most teams will choose to launch a quick rush at the beginning of the second half. This method can catch the opponent by surprise and provide a chance to score a goal.

But the Italian team is very experienced and they directly chose to maintain a solid defense.

They knew that the British team's counterattack speed was very fast, so they did not choose the second half style that many teams would choose.

This left England with no choice but to try to attack.

Because they know that the Italian team defeated the Spanish team in a penalty shootout and advanced to the European Cup final.

So in a sense, Italy has a great chance of winning the championship if they choose the bus tactic.

Also, under the coaching of Southgate, the England team did not prepare too much for the penalty shootout before the game.

In order to avoid a defeat in the penalty shootout, England had better seize the time to overtake the score.

However, facing Italy's stubborn defense, England has not yet attempted a few attacks.

Suddenly, something went wrong with the ball under Mount's feet, and the Italian team got a chance to counterattack.

Barrera is very versatile. He made a long pass to Chiesa in the frontcourt.

Chiesa's speed made it difficult for England's defense to keep up.

As he approached the baseline, he crossed with his right foot.
The football instantly flew into the England team's penalty area.

The whole stadium was boiling at this moment, and the ball found teammate Politano who was in the penalty area.

Politano carries Granada defender Maguire.

He just felt as if he had hit a mountain and could only shoot with great difficulty.

Maguire was very experienced. He felt that he could not get the chance to clear the ball, so he kept using his body to collide with Politano.

In the case of unstable center of gravity,
Politano's shot went over the crossbar.

The football flew high into the stands.

Head coach Southgate on the sidelines clapped his hands with a calm look on his face.

Sure enough, everything was as he expected.

It was thanks to his arrangement in the midfield that the players on the field made key defensive efforts when they were counterattacked.

“Look at that Barrera!”

Head coach Southgate still felt that there was a flaw in this defense, so he quickly started giving instructions on the field again.

Then we saw that the Italian team's defense was perfect.

There was no chance for them to pass the ball.

Mount was feeling a little impatient in front of the penalty area.

So, I passed the ball to my teammates.
He kicked directly.

With a bang, the football flew towards the goal with great force.

However, the Italian team's defense was like a solid wall.
Bonucci flew out.

Use your body to block the football.

Mount didn't have time to be surprised, and hurriedly chased the second point where the football landed, wanting to kick it again.

However, he collided directly with the Italian team.

The referee's whistle sounded sharply at this moment.

Mount stood up and thought they had a free kick, so he quickly picked up the ball.

As a result, the referee called a foul on the attacking team.

Mount felt unacceptable for a moment and immediately explained to the referee.

However, Fang Cheng noticed that something was wrong with the referee's expression, as if he was about to make a move.
So he quickly grabbed Mount.

Mount subconsciously wanted to shake off his hands, but after hearing that it was the captain who was pulling him, he had no choice but to remain silent.

"Don't worry, we still have a chance. When the opponent's players' physical strength declines, their concentration will slacken. That's when we can score a goal!"

After hearing what the captain said, Mount had nothing else to say and could only nod.

After the equation was finished, I didn't care about it anymore.
Anyway, he did everything he could.
If the England team still can't calm down, then we can only say that they have no choice but to accept reality today.

Three minutes later, the game reached its climax again.

However, Saka was also being marked by several people and did not have much room for choice.

He had no choice but to try a cross.

The football was still blocked by the opponent's players and went out of the baseline, and the England team finally got a corner kick opportunity.

Fang Cheng is standing in the left corner flag area.
He raised his hand.

The ball was then kicked out.

This corner kick created chaos in the penalty area.

However, Qian Duoduo's ability to save the ball is very experienced, and he caught the ball steadily.

But suddenly it seemed that another player bumped into him, causing him to lose the ball.

At this moment, Britain's star Harry Kane's eyes immediately lit up.

He took the lead and pushed the falling ball into the empty goal.

At this moment, the English fans at Wembley Stadium celebrated wildly.

Celebrate this sudden goal!

Just as the live commentator was shouting wildly, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded.

The referee made a surprising decision.

He signaled a pause in the game.
And personally walked to the sidelines to watch the VAR replay.

After careful review,

Under the tense gaze of the audience,
The referee finally returned to the court.

His judgment was that the goal was invalid because Maguire accidentally bumped into goalkeeper Qian Duoduo who had already got the ball while competing for the header, which caused the goalkeeper to lose the ball.

Such foul behavior will directly result in the goal being invalid.

This penalty immediately caused an uproar on the field. The players of the England team came forward to protest.
They believe Maguire's action did not constitute a foul.

Mount's reaction was particularly intense.

However, when the referee saw him, he was already fed up with his reaction.

So he showed Mount a yellow card without hesitation.

Regarding this penalty,

Head coach Southgate couldn't remain calm and complained loudly to the fourth referee next to him.

He could no longer remain calm on the sidelines.

This is because the time has come to the very critical 75th minute.

If England cannot reverse the score as soon as possible, the next period of time will be full of uncertainties.

After a period of controversy, the referee upheld the original decision and the goal was cancelled.

The England players had no choice but to return to their half with their heads down.

After seeing the reactions of his teammates, Fang Cheng felt quite helpless.

He didn't even know why he was wasting time with the referee.

There was obviously not much time left, and the situation on the field was not in their favor. Hey, wasting time there.

In the end, wouldn't you just ruin your own mentality?

Fortunately, with his persuasion, several teammates did not dwell on the penalty.

Rice, Saka has followed him back to his own half.

Then the game restarted.
The England team had no choice but to seize the time to launch a new wave of attack.

Afterwards, Fang Cheng was too lazy to motivate the other England teammates, as he felt that it was a hopeless case.

He simply worked alone in the midfield.

After receiving the pass from Rice, Fang Cheng used an absolutely fast dribbling to break through the Italian team's midfield defense in an instant. After seeing him rushing over, Barrera was instantly startled. He didn't expect the boss to be so fierce as if he had taken drugs.

He actually rushed over alone, not afraid at all that the Italian team would foul him.

There was no other way. Barrera realized that a fatal gap had appeared behind him.

However, he did not dare to commit a direct foul against the Inter Milan boss.

So, he had to use his hands to break the equation of a quick dribbling breakthrough.

England got a free kick opportunity in an excellent position in the frontcourt.

immediately,

Fang Cheng stood in front of the football.

Ready to use his footwork to bring changes to the team.

See the wall of people in front and the space on the door.

Fang Cheng kicked hard after the referee blew the whistle.

With a bang, the football was hit.

The football flew towards the goal at the fastest speed.

Before goalkeeper Qian Duoduo could react, he saw the football fly into the upper right corner of the goal.

In!

The score became 2:1!

The whole audience was shocked.

People were cheering wildly for this goal that was as precious as gold.

Fang Cheng ran to the sidelines and punched the air in celebration.
He could finally breathe a sigh of relief during the match in Jiaozuo.

Except for a few people, he was under a lot of pressure with some incompetent teammates.

Then Fang Cheng turned around and saw Mount sliding towards him from behind.

He looked so excited, as if he was the one who scored this precious goal.

Fang Cheng smiled helplessly, knowing that this boy was truly heartless.

After the score was reversed,

There are only ten minutes left.

The Italian team did not press their formation and launched a desperate counterattack.

Ballera knew that the goal was caused by his foul, so in order to save himself, he also had to save the team.

He used up almost every bit of his energy in the attack.

After forcing his way past the England midfielder, Barrera sent a precise through ball.
The ball penetrated the England defense.

Chiesa and Barrera formed a tacit understanding of passing and running.
He understood what was going on and went straight into the penalty area, creating a one-on-one situation.

However, his physical strength declined in the second half and he could no longer run with the same impact as in the first half.

Facing the attacking England goalkeeper,
Chiesa felt a little weak under his feet.

He chose to lob the ball.
However, the England goalkeeper showed his world-class level.

He reacted quickly, blocking with one hand.
Successfully blocked Chiesa's shot.

The football was lifted over the crossbar by his palm, thus averting the dangerous situation.

The audience burst into thunderous exclamations.

"Balera almost saved the team and himself, but unfortunately the goal was not scored in the end."

"Chiesa's energy had been almost exhausted in the previous fierce confrontation. It was a pity that such a good through ball was wasted."

"Time is running out for Italy. Can they create a miracle?"

In the 87th minute, the England team retreated across the board.

The bus tactics were also used to test Italy's offense.

Chiesa didn't believe that his physical strength was not enough, and continued to sprint along the sideline.

Although his speed is not as fast as before, he still puts pressure on England's defense.

The defensive player on the sidelines only managed to knock down Chiesa.

The equation is a bit of a headache.

I don’t know what the defense is afraid of this time?
Obviously Chiesa's attack speed had slowed down, but he still couldn't withstand the pressure and was knocked down by a foul.

Italy also won a free kick on the front side of the field.

This time, Barrera stood in front of the free kick.
Adjusted my mindset.

Then he stood up,

Pass the ball to the dangerous area in the penalty area.

The free kick was accurate and powerful, and it went straight to the back post in the penalty area.

Immobile has an excellent nose for goal.
He grabbed the ball.

The moment he took off into the air, he headed hard, trying to head the ball into the blind corner of the goal.

However, today's fate did not favor the Italian team.

Maybe the angle of force is a little off.

The football eventually went slightly over the crossbar and flew into the stands.

Countless Italian fans expressed regret.
Is it true that their football team doesn't have a single striker who can stand out?
Is this still the Italian team that won the World Cup before?
Even in such an extremely unfavorable situation, fortunately, Italy's midfielder Barella has not lost his mind.

He noticed that Chiesa's physical fitness had seriously declined.

After creating another valuable attacking opportunity,
He passed the ball to another teammate, Politano.

In Serie A, Boletano is known as the reverse Messi.

Because once when he was playing for Inter Milan, Politano used a quick reverse dribble to break through his teammates' defense, which almost scared the Inter Milan fans on the field.

So Borussia Dortmund was called the reverse Messi.

Although his offensive ability is not as delicate as Messi, his footwork is still good.
At least he can dribble the ball quickly and break through his teammates' defense.

When everyone's physical fitness was seriously declining, Politano's strength was unprecedentedly strengthened.

He dribbled the ball like no one was around.
Quickly advance to the side of England's penalty area.

Facing dense defense,
He decisively crossed the ball from the bottom.

This calm inverted triangle pass instantly tore through England's penalty area defense.

"Nice breakthrough, this pass is very crucial!"

"Glass Talo! Can he save the Italian team?"

Then, it was Sensi who received the inverted triangle pass from the Glass Tower Road.

Sensi quickly met the ball.

He kicked the ball hard.

With a bang, the football went to the lower right corner of the goal.

When the Italian commentator saw this scene, he almost shouted, "The ball goes in!"

However, it was Immobile who blocked the door for their own people to leave.

They didn't equalize.

It was like being struck by a bolt from the blue.
All the Italian players on the field were shocked.

Time is merciless, and in injury time, the score was still 2:1.

England's defence was united.

After seeing their captain come back to defend despite the risk of injury, they blocked another Italian shot and left.

The morale of the whole team instantly soared! (End of this chapter)
