Chapter 619 Final = War—Shoot! !

When Li Rui took the penalty kick, the English fans were silent. They were praying, and the English players were also praying. When Li Rui scored the penalty kick, the atmosphere of the whole stadium changed immediately.

Spain's players collapsed on the turf, while England's substitutes rushed onto the pitch, hugged their teammates and celebrated the historic moment.

"The game is over! The game is over!! 6:5!! Penalties 4:3! England beat Spain! After half a century. We are in the final of the World Series again! This is our first time Into the final of the European Cup! On this great night, let's start the carnival!! Champions. Here we come!" Lineker shouted loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the louder cheers at the scene bingo.

"Long live! For the champion!" Countless arms in front of the TV were raised high, beer glasses were raised high, and hops were splashed everywhere. This was a moment of celebration. It can be said that at this moment, the whole of England fell into carnival and madness.

***********
The whole stadium is crazy.

On the England coaching bench, there is one person who has been very quiet. He is Alan Shearer. Shearer is an England assistant coach assigned to him by the English Football Association in accordance with Mourinho's request.

Among Mourinho's three assistant coaches, the former Newcastle striker is the quietest. He has been cherishing this opportunity to learn coaching skills and hopes that he can become a head coach one day.

However, at this moment, Shearer could no longer be so quiet. When Li Rui scored a penalty kick, he waved his fist and rushed into the field screaming, but staggered and fell to the ground, crying tears Rush.

Yes, England reached the final!

Euro Cup final!

England in the Lineker era failed!

Neither did Alan Shearer's England!
They retired with regret, and the same regret belongs to Adams, Gascoigne, and McManaman...

***********
Beckham wore the St. George's flag and circled the field, running from one place to another, without the seriousness of the captain at all.

Handsome Bei was completely excited. In fact, the other England players were also too excited. Fatty Rooney was even crying. He missed a penalty just now, and he was always worried. If England were eliminated Yes, he is a sinner, now is the time to vent.

This kind of excitement and ecstasy spread in the stands, and everyone fell into a crazy situation. People and everyone around them hugged and cheered.

After Li Rui got rid of the 'ravages' of his teammates, he sat on the ground, watching the night sky in Vienna, watching Beckham running wildly wearing the St. George's flag, watching Rooney crying, watching Owen wipe tears, watching Walcott rolling on the ground...

This is a victory for England, and it is also a victory for Li Rui. However, at this moment, apart from excitement and ecstasy, I always feel that there is something missing. At this moment, Li Rui suddenly felt that he should do something. He secretly decided, after the final ...

***********
Mourinho first walked up to the Spanish coach Aragones in a 'very graceful' way, and offered his hand. As for whether he was showing off the pleasure of winning, no one knew.

"Congratulations, Mr. Mourinho." Despite being disappointed, Aragones sent his congratulations politely.

"Thank you, Mr. Aragones." Mourinho said, and then the two left facing each other. The backs of the winner and the loser formed a straight line at this moment, but gradually drifted away.

Then, Mourinho walked up to Li Rui who was still sitting on the ground, pulled him up, and gave Li Rui a firm hug.

"You did a great job, Lee."

Mourinho patted Li Rui on the shoulder. Whether it was Li Rui's goal or he withstood the pressure and took the last penalty kick. It can be said that Li Rui's performance made Mourinho very satisfied. No matter how picky the head coach is, he can't accuse Li Rui of anything!

He did really well!

***********
Mourinho went to hug and high-five the other England players.

And Li Rui was also surrounded by media reporters. When he got rid of the siege of reporters and planned to exchange jerseys with his friend Cesc Fabregas, there was not a single Spanish player in the stadium.

"Li, what are you looking for?" England captain Beckham, who was still wearing the St. George's flag, stopped Li Rui, who turned his head and looked around. At this moment, Beckham can be said to be the happiest captain in England in recent decades. Yes, and this is just reaching the European Cup final!It can only be said that England did perform poorly in the competition.

"Nothing." Li Rui looked around again, "I plan to exchange jerseys with Cesc Fabregas, where is the Spanish team?"

"Hey! Don't worry about the Spaniards, tonight is our night! Let's have fun! Come with me!" Beckham laughed and put his arms around Li Rui, "The fans are still waiting for us , we have to thank them! Let's have fun!! Haha."

Li Rui also laughed when he saw Beckham, who always paid attention to his image, bluffing loudly. It seemed that Old Bei was really happy today.

He turned his head and looked at the stands of the Ernst Hapoel Stadium. Not only the Spanish players on the field had quietly left the field, but even the Spanish fans were no longer visible in the stands. The team was eliminated. , the Spanish fans have also left the stadium under disappointment and sadness. This is now the stage for the England fans to revel!

***********
The Night That Made History! "

"Hail England! "

St George Guards England! ! "

The next day, the entire English media wanted to wrap all the praises on the England team, and the Three Lions coach Mourinho, as well as the top scorer Li Rui in the England team, were even more praised by the media and fans. Praise, now, no one will say that Mourinho is Portuguese, Li Rui is Chinese, and they are not English. Even the media that has always been at odds with Li Rui or Mourinho, at this moment It is also a sweet and unbearable compliment to the two. Now, whoever dares to speak ill of Mourinho and Li Rui, or the England team, is simply a public enemy of England.

Moreover, according to news from Buckingham Palace, it is said that if England can defeat Germany in the final and win the championship, the Queen of England intends to award honors to everyone including coach Mourinho and Li Rui.

In fact, from the second England eliminated Spain to reach the final, while the whole of England was cheering for England to reach the final, everyone was shouting loudly, to kill their opponents in the final, to kill——

Germany!

reason?

This is a war between feuds! !

***********
England and Germany are absolutely life and death enemies in world football.Looking back at history, this grievance began in the 1966 World Cup in England.Since then, as long as Germany and England meet, whether in the eyes of the British media or the German media, there is no friendship in the game, and there is only an endless war.

Before the 1966 European Cup final, the grievances between the two teams were more due to the hostile relationship between the two countries.

The first confrontation between the two teams was on April 1908, 4. At that time, the arrogant 'football originator' taught the football rookie German team with a score of 20:5.Although they won the game, the Englishman got cheap and acted like a good boy, pretending to be a goal scored by the German team, 'how embarrassing'.A year later, the two sides fought again, and the England team slaughtered Germany with a score of 1:9, setting a record for the largest point difference in the history of the Anglo-German confrontation.This annoyed the Germans.

***********
And later, in World War I, Britain and Germany became sworn enemies. In December 1914, Germany's offensive on the western front turned into positional warfare and confronted the British army for a long time.However, during the Christmas period of this year, the British and German officers and soldiers tacitly stopped the confrontation under the circumstances of strong homesickness, and began to hold Christmas activities in their respective trenches.

What is even more unexpected is that during the truce, British and German officers and soldiers played many football games in "no man's land".In one of the games, a British soldier made a simple football and started the game with no limit on the number of people and the time.The players on both sides fought fiercely until the game ball was punctured by the barbed wire.The British army won the game 3:2.

This was just an ordinary football match, but after the end of the First World War, there was a rumor in the defeated Germany that Germany was defeated because it failed to win the British on the football field...

***********
At that time, the German team was not the "King of Europe" who has won the European Cup three times and the World Cup three times.In the first twelve games between the two teams, England has achieved an unbeaten record of ten wins and two draws.It can be said that this is the "grassroots period" of German football, and England is a veritable "world powerhouse". There is really nothing surprising about England's victory over Germany.

However, those are 'pediatrics'. What really made England and Germany a feud was the unsolved case in the 1966 World Cup final in England.

If Maradona's hand of God is a well-founded speculation, then Hurst's "goal line kick" in the World Cup final 44 years ago will always be an unsolved case .

***********
In the 1966 World Cup, the host England and the West Germany team met in the final. Harrell's goal opened the scoring for the West Germany team, but Hurst equalized the score after 7 minutes.In the 78th minute, England midfielder Peters scored another goal, but the tenacious German relied on defender Webber's goal in the 89th minute to drag the game into overtime.In the 101st minute of extra time, Hurst turned around and volleyed after receiving a pass from his teammate in the penalty area. The ball hit the lower edge of the door frame and bounced out.

England's morale was thus boosted, and then in the 120th minute, Hurst scored twice, and finally the hosts beat Germany 4:2 to win the World Cup trophy for the first time.

To this day, talking about that "goal", Beckenbauer, who was on the field at the time, still claims that "the ball did not cross the goal line".

Has Hurst's kick crossed the goal line?So far, Yingde still insists on their own opinions.

The Germans cursed Hurst, however, for England, who scored the controversial goal and hat-trick in the final, Hurst is England's 'national hero', while German legend, striker Uwe Schiller was so shocked that he almost collapsed when he left the field, and walked off the field with his head drooping.As a result, this scene was photographed by photographers, and the English media also ridiculed the angry and unwilling Germans, and used this photo to make fun of it from time to time.

***********
However, after the World Cup final in 1966, perhaps it was the 'goal-line goal' that exhausted England's good luck. After that, every time England and Germany met in a major competition, it was always England's cup.In German terms, that is, the Britons spent nearly half a century of tears to steal the German champion for the 'closed case'...and 'pay off the debt'.

In the quarter-finals of the 1970 World Cup, the England team led 2:0, and the German team's flag star Beckenbauer led the Germans to stage a counterattack. They scored three goals in a row and defeated England. knocked out.

Two years later, in 1972, Wembley Stadium, the holy place of football in England, was captured by the Germans in the European Cup qualifiers. The biggest contributor to the German team's victory over England was still their number one star Beckenbauer. The score of this game was Germany beat England 3:1 away.As a result, the proud British gave Beckenbauer the title of 'Football Emperor' after the game helplessly. It is conceivable how helpless the English are at this time.

***********
In the 1990 World Cup, the England team was full of stars, and the attacking lineup composed of Pratt, Gascoigne, Lineker and Beardsley was even more invincible.However, the England team, which entered the semi-finals after a lapse of 24 years, once again ran into their old enemy, the Federal Republic of Germany.Bremer opened the scoring for Germany with a free kick in the 59th minute, and Lineker equalized in the 80th minute.

The game entered a brutal penalty shootout.Bremer, Matthaus, Riddle and Ton sent by the Federal German team all made hits, while Pierce and Waddle of the England team missed free throws successively.The pain of this penalty shootout is deeply branded in the hearts of the English people.

***********
And six years later, in 1996, England held the European Cup at their doorstep. The England team was considered to be the favorite to win the championship. However, this time, it was their mortal enemy Germany who knocked England out. England was dragged into a penalty shoot-out. In the penalty shoot-out, the English had a complete mental breakdown and were drinking at home.

Having knocked out hosts England, Bild triumphantly posed 11 'questions' to England the next day, including: "Why do your colonies beat you at cricket? The last time the English won Wimbledon When is the Open? Why do you Brits keep wearing bathing suits in the sauna?"

Apparently, this was German revenge for England's unscrupulous taunting of Germany after the 1966 World Cup final in England.

The goalkeeper of the German team, Kopke, used the photos of Gascoigne wearing a helmet on the front line published by the English media before the game to mock the Englishman's macrocephaly, "When will they find a helmet that fits their heads?"

Gascoigne is said to have yelled to strangle Kopke when he heard about it, and declared that he would never forgive the German.

***********
However, after Germany and England in the 1966 World Cup final in England, in the many confrontations between England and Germany in the following decades, the largest score difference between England and Germany has never exceeded 3 goals.Only the game on September 2001, 9 was an exception.

In the Korea-Japan World Cup qualifiers, the German team at home ushered in their old rival England.In the 6th minute of the first half, high center forward Jankel took the lead for the German team, but he did not expect that the game after that would be completely dominated by the English.Irving, who was at his peak, humiliated Kahn with a hat-trick, and Gerrard and Heskey, the two Liverpool generals, also scored successively. A 5:1 victory achieved what the British media still talk about. 'Victory in Munich'.

Of course, the German's response to this defeat was that this was just an ordinary qualifier, and the German team was obviously out of shape and didn't play well. To use a common saying, it was 'to tease you'.

***********
And in England.Most of the classic quotations about football are also related to Germany.

For example in the 1966 World Cup.The famous British commentator Kennett Wolstenholme said a famous sentence describing the tenacity of the Germans: "They thought it was over, but the Germans stood up again!"

"After England was eliminated by Germany on penalty kicks in the 1990 World Cup, England's top scorer Lineker also said helplessly: "Football is a 22-person game, but in the end the Germans always win. "

Even the Russians stepped up to join in the fun at this time. Russia is very concerned about the European Cup final match between England and Germany. The "Moscow Tribune" said, "Germans are afraid of Russia, despise the French, but hate the British."

The Spaniards who were eliminated by England, talked about the European Cup final between England and Germany, they said this——

"The British remember the bombing of London, the Germans remember the bombing of Dresden. The war is over, the rivalry between the two countries is fermented in a football match, the final? It's the war minus the shooting."

In a word, Euro 2008 final - England vs Germany:

A century-old feud, restless passion, the focus of attention of hundreds of millions of people...

On June 28, the front page of The Times used an old photo from World War II. The Queen Mother stood in the ruins of the bombing and asked loudly, "Can we win against Germany?"

Li Rui, Beckham and others raised their right arms and shouted, "We can!"

The title of the BBC broadcast that day was: The pace of war is approaching! !
