Chapter 916 Final Whistle!

The referee for today's final is Irmakov from Uzbekistan. For this referee, today is definitely special. Being able to officiate the final of the World Cup can be said to be the greatest pride of this referee in his life. .

When the time was up, the referee Irmakov held the game ball, then turned around and said to the captains of the two teams: "Okay, you can play, please follow me."

Spanish team captain Puyol waved his hand and shouted to his teammates: "Play! For victory!!"

Like him, Beckham turned his head and shouted loudly: "For the championship! Let's go!"

Whether it was the Spanish players or the English players, they all let out a roar, and they began to move forward.

"Come out! Play!"

"Look! Players from both sides are on the field!"

"They're here!"

The commentators shouted excitedly.

The appearance of the players ignited the first climax of the Football City Stadium.

"Spain! Spain!"

"England! England!"

"we are the champion!"

"Forward, England!"

The fans erupted in huge cheers and tangled with each other.No one can hear what they are shouting, but the atmosphere alone can make people's blood boil.My heart beats faster, I can't help but want to fight!Fight endlessly!

***********
The glittering golden Hercules Cup is right on the stage at the exit of the tunnel. Every player who is on the field passes by this trophy and can't help but want to take a look.

Li Rui strongly suppressed the urge to touch the trophy, he continued to walk forward, and withdrew his reluctant gaze from the 'Hercules Cup'.

"Hercules Cup! Here I come!"

Teacher, I am standing on the field of the World Cup finals now, and the Hercules Cup is beside me. Teacher, have you seen it?It was you who let me know that there is a crazy sport called football in the world. You gave me the first football, you took me to watch the football match for the first time, you led me to the road of football, and established Tough character, don't give up until the last moment!

"Teacher, I will personally give you the Hercules Cup!"

***********
"We saw Beckham, we saw Rooney, we saw Gerrard, we saw Lampard... Li Rui was at the end, he was the last one to come out of the tunnel, yes, he played , he is the finale, the heaviest...everyone has stepped onto the court, now let's take a deep breath, a deep breath...in a few minutes, the final battle will begin."

"Bosque continued to use the semi-final lineup, and Torres still played as a substitute. Counting Villa, who has already joined, Barcelona entered the starting lineup with 7 people, tying Uruguay in the 1950 final. At that time, 7 people came from Penarol, second only to The record set by Czechoslovakia in the 1934 final, when 8 people came from Slavia Prague. If Spain wins the championship, it will become the youngest world champion in nearly 40 years, and it will also be the youngest world champion from Europe in history.”

"Li Rui has scored [-] goals in this World Cup, which made him equal the French striker Fontaine's record of [-] goals in the [-] World Cup. In today's game, in the final, Li Rui Rui only needs to score one more goal, and he will create a new record for a single World Cup goal! Engrave his name on the highest point of the World Cup hall, so that future generations will worship!"

"England's starting line-up today and the semi-final match against Holland have only changed in one place, and that is at right-back, with Liverpool's Carragher replacing Glenn Glenn, who was suspended in the final. Johnson. We will wait and see how this change will affect the England team and the game."

***********
President Zuma of South Africa, the host country of the World Cup, delivered a speech before the start of the game.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter followed up with a speech. He described the World Cup in South Africa as a successful World Cup, and used three consecutive adjectives to praise the Organizing Committee of the World Cup in South Africa.

Afterwards, the players from both sides lined up to take pictures, shook hands with each other and the referee, and the captains exchanged team flags and guessed sides.The formation spread out and stood up.

The Uzbekistan referee Irmakov looked down at the chronograph on his left wrist, and then at another watch on his right wristband. The time of the two watches must be the same.At the same time, it must be synchronized with the timer in the hands of the fourth official of the game, Yuichi Nishimura from Japan. The three times are the same to ensure that the game time is consistent and correct.

After checking the time on all the chronographs in both hands, Irmakov looked up to the sidelines. He was waiting for the instruction from the fourth official Yuichi Nishimura that he could kick-off.

At this moment, the hearts of all the fans are raised, they are also waiting for the kick-off whistle, waiting for the moment of cheers!

Huge cheers!

***********
Li Rui stood in the middle circle, he stepped on the football, and Rooney stood next to him, the expressions of the two were equally serious. In the past, they would chat for a few words before kick-off, but not today.They just felt as if their chests were beating drums, their hearts were beating faster, and they were waiting for the moment when they were about to explode!

Opposite them, Villa and Pedro of the Spanish team were also standing with serious faces. Only Iniesta behind them suddenly looked up at the night sky, the night sky of Johannesburg, the night sky of Soccer City Stadium, The night sky above the final arena.

Everyone is waiting.

Finally, the fourth official Nishimura Yuichi gave the order to kick off.

The referee Irmakov's whistle had long been in his mouth, waiting for this moment, and he swung his right hand forward vigorously.Blowing the whistle in the mouth——

"beep--!!!!!!!!!"

"Friends of the audience! Friends of the audience! With the whistle of the referee Irmakov from Uzbekistan, the final of this World Cup officially kicked off! The two sides are England and Spain" Liu Jianhong excited Shouted a very formulaic opening commentary, "For us, this is different from any finals we have seen before, very different! Because Li Rui is on the court, in the finals, in the Here, this will also be the first time a Chinese star stands in the final of the World Cup, he is the absolute core and second captain of England, let us look forward to a wonderful final!" He originally wanted to say, let us expect Li Rui to be able to He led the England team to win the championship, but when the words came to his lips, he had to change his words.Because that's pretty damn fair. . .

***********
England kick off first.

Li Rui kicked the ball to Rooney, and the little fat man continued to knock the ball back to Gerrard behind him, and then he ran forward, while Li Rui stayed where he was, organizing the attack.

Gerrard continued to hit the ball back, Gareth Barry got the ball, he handed the ball to Beckham on the right, Beckham flicked his ankle and passed the ball.

Li Rui stopped the ball with his chest, and after getting rid of Iniesta's interference beautifully, he looked ahead, and there was no good opportunity, so he chose to pass the ball back to Lampard.

After the start of the game, according to the usual practice, the two teams did not devote themselves to it, but tried their own.They all seemed very cautious.

Although England and Spain played against each other in the semi-finals of the European Cup two years ago, England defeated the Spanish team. However, after two years, the personnel of the England team has not changed much, but the tacit understanding between them and the degree of technical and tactical cooperation They are more mature, and Spain is not the same as the Spain two years ago. Today's Spain is more reasonable than two years ago in terms of offense and defense. Especially for the 'old fox' Bosque, he must try it out.Who knows what traps this old man is waiting for you?You know, the confident Portugal led by Ronaldo was severely bullied and went home sadly.

***********
In the temptation, England put on a posture of defending and counterattacking from the beginning.They are not in a hurry to attack, but to stabilize their defense first, and the Spanish team does not seem to be in a hurry to attack. Once they have the opportunity, they are more likely to back and forth in the frontcourt, and it seems that they are not in a hurry to take a shot.In the opening 5 minutes, there was only one shot, and Villa's shot was ridiculously wide.

Seeing this situation, the narrators and experts who observed the game began to have a judgment. In this game, the England team will defend and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, while the Spanish team will lead the offense. Such a game may not be too much. A boring game, but it's hard to say it's exciting.

This disappointed some fans who were expecting the England team to play a beautiful offense under the leadership of Li Rui, and to have a classic game of the century against the Spanish team.

"Mourinho is very cautious. It seems that this is his tactical arrangement. The first thing the England team should do is to defend firmly, and then, under the leadership of Li Rui, look for opportunities to counterattack." Duan Xuan said.

***********
Mourinho looked at his watch on the coach's bench. Five minutes had passed since the game, and the trial phase was basically over.It's time to start implementing his tactics.

He got up and walked to the sidelines, with his hands in his trouser pockets, he didn't shout into the field, and he didn't make any gestures, just stood on the sidelines.

However, for the English players on the field, this is a signal.

Signal to attack!
Everyone thought that Mourinho would face Spain's offense and choose to stick to it. That's wrong. The 'madman' will not forget where his England team's biggest advantage is——

The biggest advantage of this England team is not defense. Without Ferdinand, even with Terry, this can only make England's defense only second-rate. England's advantage lies in offense. The offensive line led by Li Rui is Mu The biggest capital of Rinho and the England team!

Now that the temptation is over, let's do it with real swords and guns!
