——

September 12th at 21:00!

Wembley Stadium!

A focus battle in Group E of the 2008 European Cup qualifiers begins here!

The England team and the Russian national team will fight for second place here!

The cheers in the stands were still dominated by England fans. Although the Russian fans who came to London to watch and cheer were a little more than the Israelis four days ago, they were only about 5,000!

Compared with the Three Lions fans who are more than ten times more than them, it can be ignored!

Five minutes before the game started, judging from the ball possession ratio and the number of shots, the visiting Russian national team unexpectedly turned the tables and firmly suppressed the Three Lions with their skillful passing coordination in the midfield and backfield!

This is obviously the result of Crazy Li's arrogant words at the pre-match press conference!

The strong Russian men from the cold Siberian wasteland seemed to have taken gunpowder collectively. Their nostrils were puffing with white air and their eyes were as wide as bells. When the referee on duty from Spain, Dara Adavila, blew the first whistle to start the game. At the beginning of the second, he used 200% of his energy to show off to the arrogant lunatic Li and his disciples!

Just like what they said in their last interview with local reporters before the game: "...Football is not played by mouth. We will let the arrogant English people know what real men's football is..."

Yes, the strong men in Russia are playing "men's football" now!

Pressing hard regardless of physical strength, tackling regardless of the cost, vicious roars and stares, long-distance shots...

It seemed that even the entire Wembley Stadium lawn was filled with the pungent smell of strong vodka, turning the England team's superstars into weak drunkards...

In the first five minutes, Ashley Cole, who is known as the best left back in the world...well, no, according to the media in the British Isles, was actually played by the little-known right winger of the Russian team. Bastnov, a 23-year-old youngster from Spartak Moscow, was beaten...

"...Ashley Cole's defense...Oh, God, the young player Bastnov broke through him as easily as he was lying to a child, and there was a fatal gap on the right side of the England team..." The famous mouthpiece Sturt was sitting on pins and needles in the commentary box: "... Bastnov's cross, Sanko header!!! God God God!!! Carson saved the England team..."

On the field!

Sanko, the 24-year-old forward who plays for Sporting Lisbon, rubbed his messy hair in anger!

Bastnov's pass just now was so wonderful, and the quality of his headbutt was also excellent. Such a beautiful combination was "luckily" saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, who was said to be a rookie...

Roar~~~

Saenko roared at England goalkeeper Carson, turned around and prepared to receive the corner kick from his teammate!

Carson was obviously startled by the inexplicable roar from the other party!

The moment Saenko opened his mouth, Carson could even see the other person's scarlet throat and vocal cords that were shaking like rags...a ferocious expression of wanting to swallow him!

Roar~~~

After hesitating for a moment, the 22-year-old Carson showed no signs of weakness and roared with all his strength, startling his teammates who were helping him on defense!

Russian team Chilokov took a corner kick, and John Terry pushed the football out of the left sideline before the opponent player!

The game continues!

Sideline!

Russian team coach Guus Hiddink gradually frowned!

Although the team performed well in the first 10 minutes, there is always a bad taste lingering in the mind of the famous Dutch coach!

This situation is not normal, because England's level is definitely not as bad as it appears on the scene. Even in the McLaren era, they would not be suppressed like this... The Russian players are overdrawing their energy!

Yes, it’s an overdraft!

Hiddink's brows jumped!

The players had been aroused by Madman Lee and couldn't even suppress it themselves... But even in this state, they failed to score the England team's goal. As time went by, their morale was exhausted...

"Amazing Gus" stood on the sidelines racking his brains and thinking about how to change this situation!

On the other side, Li Tongfan smiled happily!

If it weren't for his invincible and uncanny reputation as "Madman Lee", Lee Tong-beom's idiotic performance of laughing lewdly even when the team was in a disadvantageous situation would probably have worried the Three Lions fans in the stands. The haters have long taken lighters, apple cores, smelly socks, underwear...

He had already smashed Li Tongfan's face to the point of being filled with peach blossoms!

But Lao Li is not in a hurry at all!

Looking at the depressed Zhirkov, Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko on the bench of the Russian team, Li Tongfan only felt happy!

Hiddink actually didn't send these three guys with high potential and ability in the starting lineup!

I don’t know what the old fox is thinking. Is it a surprise soldier?

In fact, this is something Li Tongfan is overly worried about. Does Hiddink have something like the FM2008 scouting tool in his hand? How could he know the abilities of these three guys!

In reality, Arshavin's performance in the Russian Super League this season was mediocre due to conflicts with the club!

And Paplyuchenko, who plays for Spartak Moscow, is not to Hiddink's liking and has been on the verge of being a substitute in the national team!

As for Zhirkov, although he is highly regarded by Hiddink, he has just returned from injury. The famous Dutch coach does not dare to let his favorite general take risks!

The "Russian Three Demons", who all have potentials above 175, are not on the field. Although the Russian opponent's attack is full of momentum, the final fatal blow is like a constipated old man who can't pull it out...

"...Fifteen minutes have passed since the game. Russia has nearly doubled the ball possession ratio between the two sides than England. The Russian team has 14 shots, while England only has 2..." Lineker was also a little surprised. Unclear about the situation on the court: "...the Russian team is the first first-class team that Crazy Li has encountered in an official game since he took office. Its strength is three or four levels better than the Israeli team. Only by surviving Russia, Crazy Li’s coaching position can only be recognized by real experts...

Seist, a loyal fan of Li Tongfan, is also a little anxious: "...Compared with the last game, except that Owen Hargreaves should be absent due to injury and Lampard got the starting opportunity, Crazy Li did not make any changes to the starting lineup. Adjustments have been made, but it seems that the two-forward partnership of Owen and Rooney is not in shape...needs to change..."

Although the English fans' singing in the stands was high-pitched, the anxiety contained in it was very obvious. Some anxious fans were already slightly dissatisfied...

"We need to score goals, Lee, we need to score goals..."

"You can truly prove yourself by defeating a strong team, Li, show us your skills!"

…

However, the concerns of fans and commentators did not change Li Tongbum's strategy!

When everyone was eagerly looking at the command seat on the sidelines, waiting for the magical Chinese to raise his middle finger to score a goal just like he did in Real Madrid, Crazy Li did not make any sign!

Could it be that [the God on the sidelines of the football field] sometimes fails?

Could it be that when the magical madman Li meets the equally magical Hiddink, will he encounter the first Waterloo in his coaching career?

The passivity on the scene can't help but make the proud English gentlemen worry about their gains and losses, and their trust in Madman Li seems to be weakening with the passage of time...

But soon all the doubters began to feel ashamed of themselves!

It turns out that [God on the sidelines of the football field] is not unable to change, but——

No need to change at all!

Everything is under his control!

Because, England scored a goal!

Like a spring that was compressed to the extreme, it suddenly exploded!

On the field!

The cross from the Russian winger Machikonov was unreasonably cleared by England's vice-captain John Terry and blasted out of the penalty area...

All the Russian players thought this was a hasty passive defensive move!

But earth-shattering cheers came from the stands!

Because Terry's clearance ball was high and fast, flying towards the Russian team's goal!

Of course, this is not the main reason why fans exclaimed!

The most fatal thing for the Russian national team is that a white lightning followed closely on the lawn below the football——

Michael Owen inserted into the Russian team's half like a high-speed maglev train!

Then……

Getting rid of Russia’s three defenders without the ball…

Unloading the ball...

Dial horizontally...

Shot...

After completing this series in less than five seconds, Michael Owen stopped looking at the goal and turned around gracefully to accept the cheers and applause of the English fans...

The young goalkeeper Akinfeev has no way to deal with the lightning killer's single-handed ball. This is beyond the capabilities of any goalkeeper!

The volcano at Wembley Stadium erupts again!

1:0!

This was England's third shot in the first 15 minutes of the first half. It was less than one-fifth of Russia's, but it broke the deadlock cleanly...

"...Michael Owen, Michael Owen again!!! When the team needed him most, the lightning killer from Newcastle stepped forward and hit the fatal blow!!! This is a player who is at the peak of his career! Owen, this is the happiness of the whole England..."

Irving's goal not only gave reassurance to all fans worried about gains and losses, but was more like a bomb that exploded on the reservoir dam, releasing all the "flood" at once...

The advantage that the Russians had worked so hard to maintain suddenly collapsed after 15 minutes!

In the 20th minute, Hiddink and his disciples suffered another blow!

Another quick counterattack!

Michael Owen and Beckham passed the ball back and forth in the midfield and passed the Russian captain - the 32-year-old defensive midfielder Smertin who plays for Middlesbrough in the Premier League. The football came to the wing. At the feet of Tangning!

The show begins!

Tangning once again showed his superb dribbling and footwork skills to the supporters who stood up from their seats and cheered. After playing with the Russian right-wing players Bastnov and Birezutsky, he half-way near the sideline. Powerful high ball cross...

The Middlesbrough winger's ability in [Crossing] 18 in FM2008 was fully demonstrated at this moment!

The powerful half-high ball made the two central defenders of the Russian team wary. After a little hesitation, Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney seized the opportunity!

The little fat man, who was surrounded by three strong Russian men, jumped into the air, stretched out the arch of his left foot and gently touched it...

boom!

The white football was like a frightened bird, panicking and rushing into the goal behind goalkeeper Akinfeev!

The distance is too close and the ball speed is too fast!

The goalkeeper has no way to react!

Akinfeev, who is known as the best goalkeeper in Russian history after Lev Yashin, picked up the football from the goal with a look of annoyance after being hit by England with two shots that were beyond the goalkeeper's ability. , kicked hard towards the center circle...

2:0!

This is England's fourth shot of the game!

This conceded goal woke up the Russian team!

Sideline!

Hiddink made a gesture with a murderous look on his face, asking the players to pay attention to defense and retract the defense line appropriately!

"...Keep calm, don't be fooled by the opponent, keep a cool head!! Retract the defense line, pay attention to assisting defense, and improve the efficiency of attacks..." Even in anger, Hiddink still used the most concise words when deploying tactics The prophecy expressed its own meaning without any dirty words in the words!

On the field!

The 32-year-old Russian captain Smertin finally realized that he and his teammates had been fooled!

The cunning Chinese succeeded in irritating himself with the help of reporters' mouths!

Think about it before the game, head coach Hiddink repeatedly asked the team to stay calm and play in a peaceful mental state, but he failed to succeed and failed. Before kick-off, he encouraged his teammates with a murderous look on his face to give the arrogant Chinese Take a look at some color...

Now, the color is there!

But it was given to him by the other party!

"...Defend, Verratinil, Chikonov, recycle, pay attention to your behind..." Smertin tried to calm down, and then began to instruct his teammates to play according to the requirements of head coach Hiddink. !

Facts have proved that Hiddink and Smelgin's calmness worked!

In the next game, Russia caused a lot of trouble for the England team!

"...Smertin's through ball, midfielder Seamus Hof got the ball!! Cleverly turned around, got rid of Beckham, and passed the ball!!! Forward Sanko leaned on Rio Ferdinand... Ouch, the ball goes into the penalty area! ! A chance for the Russian team!

"...Danger!! Ouch, God!! My heart is about to jump out!!"

In the commentary box, Sest took a shaky sip of water: "... Aston Villa's 22-year-old goalkeeper Carson once again saved the England team!! He saved the Russian forward Kerzhakov's shot. A golden shot from the penalty spot! !! Incredible young man! ! I suddenly found that the goalkeeping problems that had plagued the Three Lions coach for several times disappeared in an instant. , who else?”

On the field!

Carson's wonderful save won huge applause from the fans!

Teammates from the England team also came over to pat Carson on the shoulder to express their gratitude and apology!

# # #

In the last few minutes of the first half, the game returned to the state of play 15 minutes before the game!

After the Russian players dispelled the anxiety in the center and stabilized their defense, the attacking rhythm and passing success rate became even more terrifying!

And after Li Tongfan's deliberate tactical recovery, England turned into a giant turtle that couldn't shrink! Occasionally, it would extend its sharp teeth to fight back, and then quickly retract its "turtle shell"!

In the 35th minute, England's quick counterattack was destroyed by the opponent, and the Russian team took the opportunity to organize the most threatening offensive in the first half!

After receiving the ball, Saenko sprinted along the wing. After attracting the attention of Terry, Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand, the high-altitude ball was passed directly to the center!

Korzhakov suddenly shot his foot 45 meters away from the goal!

This was a world-beating shot of extremely high quality. Carson used all his strength to barely touch the football with his fingertips!

This is the life-saving touch!

Carson's fingertips slightly changed the trajectory of the football, and eventually hit the left post of the goal...

Then, the embarrassed left back Ashley Cole kicked the football out of the baseline before Bastnov's follow-up shot!

Corner kick!

# # #

Until the end of the first half, neither side could change the score!

The Russian team's forward Kerzhakov wasted a single goal in the 44th minute, and Michael Owen's shot after receiving a long pass from Beckham was blocked by the opponent's defender!

Change sides and fight again in the second half!

Hiddink made a substitution adjustment at the beginning of the half. Kerzhakov, who had wasted opportunities continuously, was replaced. The one who got the opportunity was Pavlyuchenko, one of the "Three Russian Monsters"!

However, until the 60th minute of the game, both sides were still playing a defensive counterattack game with great interest!

In the 64th minute, what made the Russians miserable was that the "Wembley Volcano" finally erupted again!

The England team fortunately broke through the talented goalkeeper Akinfeev for the third time with a corner kick——

Beckham's corner kick in the right corner flag area was accidentally pushed back by the Russian team's center back Shenikov in a hurry to clear the ball!

After David unloaded the ball, facing the opponent's right back Kuzmin who was pressing forward, he made a fake move to cross the ball, then got out of the way and suddenly hit back diagonally...

Football enters the penalty area!

Wayne Rooney, who was unguarded, took the first shot...

3:0! ! !

For this reason, the outcome of the game is determined!

Hiddink shook his head in front of the coaching bench on the sidelines, replaced several main players, and began to save energy for the next game. Arshavin and Yuri Zhirkov finally got the chance to play!

In the 84th minute, the Russian team got a goal back with Arshavin's magical performance——

The 26-year-old short winger took advantage of his low center of gravity and high speed to break through the double-teams of Rio Ferdinand and John Terry, and went to the meeting alone to score...

3:1! !

More than 5,000 Russian fans in the stands burst into tears!

More than 60% of the ball possession rate, more than 30 shots... finally broke through Carson's goal!

Before that, they thought that the 22-year-old rookie goalkeeper who was loaned to Aston Villa because he couldn't play in Liverpool was possessed by the spirit of God...

Arshavin's goal gave the Russian team a glimmer of hope, but someone quickly made them despair!

In the 91st minute, Villa winger Ashley Young came on as substitute for Downing and made a pass. Lampard received the ball in the penalty area and then hit the goal from a small angle...

Although Akinfeev miraculously saved the shot that was close at hand! but……

Michael Owen's ghostly follow-up shot at the first moment forced the talented goalkeeper to pick up the ball from behind for the fourth time...

4:1! ! !

England secured victory! This score was maintained until the end of the game!

…

4:2 victory over Germany!

Sweep Israel 8:0! !

Defeat Russia 4:1! ! !

Push - push - push~~~

When the Spanish referee Da-Adavira blew two short and one long whistles to end the game, the hearts of all those watching the game jumped. The powerful players on the Europa continent had vaguely seen the Three Lions conquer. The iron hooves are coming...

Who will be the next loser?

Croatia?

Or Spain? France?

The coaches of the teams that are expected to advance to the 2008 European Cup are sweating on their backs on this not-so-cold autumn night...

# # #

Many days have passed since the game on September 12th, and the British Isles’ worship of Crazy Li has never ended!

To be honest, when Crazy Lee became the coach of the Three Lions, England fans did not expect that the national team's record would have such an immediate effect!

After McLaren stepped down, the proud English gentlemen only hoped that the team could break through in Group E. As long as they could qualify for the 2008 European Cup, that would be a great blessing!

But [God on the sidelines of the football field] brought them a surprise beyond their expectations!

Since defeating Germany in the friendly match, Three Lions fans have been like being hit by a pie falling from the sky, falling into a dream that they never want to wake up from!

Facing the German team of master tactician Loew? Win!

Israel versus the arrogant Uncle Kashtan? Big win!

Russia encountering "Magic Gus" Hiddink? Or win?

…

What makes fans even more happy than winning the game is that under the leadership of Crazy Lee, England's geniuses are like leeks in the fields, popping up one after another!

Joe Hart, Manzianni, Sturridge, Carson, Ben Foster, Downing, Ashley Young...

These young players who either have never heard of it before, or who have heard of it but seem to think it is nothing more than that and have little development potential, once they enter the Lee Three Lions, they are like saplings that have been sprayed with chemical fertilizer after the rain. Same……

It sprouted out suddenly and instantly turned into a towering tree that fans can rely on!

There are so many talents in England that they are almost like carrots!

And "old players" like Michael Owen, who could only rely on their previous reputation and capital to struggle on the green field due to injuries, unexpectedly had an incredible second spring!

This is not the most famous England team in history!

This is the England team with the strongest record in history!

Looking at the starting eleven on the field, the star power of Lee's Three Lions is far worse than in the McLaren era!

But these little players who are not well-known have achieved a dream three-game winning streak that McLaren could never dream of!

Change, just because of one person——

Crazy Li!

The road to the 2008 European Cup is still long, we... will wait and see! ——
