Chapter 236 England Core

Gary Neville rushed to the sideline and stopped suddenly. He used his inertia to swing his arms and threw the football into the penalty area.

Everyone on the scene looked up, and Gary Neville threw the football over the penalty area like a catapult.

Beckham can only sigh again, what a strange boy!

Even after witnessing such a scene countless times with his own eyes, he still had to let out an exclamation in his heart.

Not every team in the English professional league has a player like Gary Neville, and such players are rare even in the Premier League.

Other teams who perform this kind of work are basically muscular and strong men. Later, the famous "Popeye" Delap and even throwing athletes were born.

And Gary Neville's small stature and strange power are just out of the ordinary.

Beckham saw five or six people rushing forward, and quickly retreated to the penalty spot.

He still knows a lot about his high-altitude ball ability. Although he can also head the ball, it is not his business to compete with strong men for position.

In such an environment where thousands of troops are fighting hand-to-hand, he positions himself as picking up leaks.

The throw-in fell within a meter of the penalty area and it was future Southampton star Le Tissier that England charged towards.

He fought hard, squeezed Casiraghi out of the landing point, and jumped up vigorously, but he didn't jump up.
Maldini is hanging on his left arm, Costacurta is hanging on his right arm, and his feet are only 30 cm from the ground.

Le Tissier gritted his teeth and exerted force suddenly, pushing the football towards the center.

The 22-year-old Hei Tiezhu jumped high in the penalty area, and Ferrara used all his strength, so that his head could only be level with his nose.

Peruzzi saw the opportunity and rushed out of the small penalty area, struggling to take off to pull the carrot off Campbell's head.

But just as he rushed out of the small restricted area, Seaman suddenly blocked in front of him, blocking his way.

Sure enough, the goalkeeper knows the goalkeeper best.
But there was no turning back, Peruzzi had already run halfway, and he could not retreat at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and take off, punching the football.

But the distance is too far apart, only to feel lonely.

The goal of the Italian team was wide open, and Campbell stretched his belly to head the football to the empty goal.

But Ferrara didn't make it easier for him. The Italian defender put his whole body weight on Campbell and made a 180-degree spin.

Campbell was forced to lean back. Seeing that Mount Tai was overwhelmed, he turned into "jumping his head back".

But this young central defender is young after all, and he is eager to make meritorious deeds and atone for his sins, even if he is leaning back, he has made considerable efforts.

Seeing the football fly towards the goal, the whole Wembley Stadium became restless.

But when the football flew to the goal line, Cannavaro suddenly appeared in front of the goal, and he flew in a hurry to push the ball out.

Seeing that the football was about to go out of the danger zone, Ince suddenly rushed over. He used his body to block the ball one meter before the goal line.

Shearer swung his leg and hit it, while Nesta blocked the shot across the goal line.

The football almost bounced straight up and down, Peruzzi got up from the ground and was about to run back, but Seaman again blocked him with his hands outstretched.

The Italian national gate is jumping in a hurry, he is biting Seaman's heart now!

The football fell, and Cannavaro got up from the ground and jumped vigorously, but when he just got up, there was a hint of despair in his eyes looking at the football.

Beckham has already jumped high, he blocked Albertini with his hands, and headed hard!

The ball is in!
1 is better than 1!

The England team equalized the score at the last moment of the game!

The whole Wembley Stadium is boiling up!
After scoring, Beckham took off his shirt and ran along the pitch.

Everywhere he went, he could hear deafening cheers.

The other players in England followed closely behind him, with smiles on everyone's faces.

Although the goal just now came from everyone's efforts, but only Beckham sent the football into the goal, and his teammates could only slap him excitedly to express their inner excitement.

"David did it, he saved England with a last-minute goal! Although headers are not his favorite way of scoring goals, he still seized this opportunity with precision!

Although Italy has the best league in the world, our lads are not afraid of them

We were able to tie the score at the last moment today, why didn't we have a chance in Italy?
Football is round, as long as there are boys from the England team, as long as there is David, we are not afraid of the Italian team.

Italians, goodbye to Italy! "

In the studio, the host has already shouted loudly.

In the main stand of Wembley Stadium, Sophie Marceau blew a kiss to Beckham who was waving for her. Not far in front of her, British royal dignitaries, like other fans, stood up and gave Beckham applause.

Surrounded by various guns and short cannons, he recorded this moment from different angles.

At this moment, time has opened a wonderful football journey for this young man in England. People can't imagine that this young man has shouldered the hope of the England team's revival.

But it was clear to all that Beckham was bound to have a star-studded career.

He left his mark on time and left this moment in everyone's hearts.

Maybe time will make the English people cheer for Beckham countless times, but there will never be a second time at this moment.

On this day, a 21-year-old young man once tried his best for the England team and sacrificed himself for football.

Ten years later, when Maldini was asked who was the most difficult player to defend in his career, the Italian legend did not hesitate to say Beckham's name.

"In a World Cup qualifier, we played against England. I was at the peak of my career and I was comfortable with most attacking players.

But David was crazy that day. He kept attacking my defense and made me want to fight him at one point.

We focused on him the whole game and let him score at the last minute.

He was only 21 at the time and I didn't know him well.

If I knew he was going to reach those heights, maybe I would have hung up on him the whole game.

Haha, it's all over! "

The game restarted, and the referee immediately blew the whistle for the end of the game.

After Beckham scored, he waited nearly 10 minutes before kicking off again.

But the Italian players did not ask the referee to argue, they had already lay down helplessly.

After the game, Maldini found Beckham directly, and the two exchanged jerseys with a smile.

The scene where the two male gods met shirtless once again received cheers from the entire Wembley, leaving a final climax for this duel.

The England players returned to the locker room contentedly, while Hoddle still walked to the press conference with a see-through smile.

When asked by reporters about Beckham's performance, Hoddle looked up and said: "David's performance is competent, but just because he scored goals, he cannot be said to be the best player.

All the players in this England team were good, Alan Shearer, David Seaman, Paul Ince, Gary Neville and others deserve the same credit, it's not fair to the rest of the players to just mention one player by name the next week because he scored a goal. "

"When we conceded the ball, the scene was very tight. David's personal performance succeeded in giving us a respite. What do you think of this?"

Hoddle still maintained the posture just now and said: "I asked him to do this, and he did it quite competently."

After finishing this sentence, he also talked about Di Matteo's yellow card: "David's performance was a bit too much, and he had a better way to deal with it at the time."

"Since you think David's performance is only competent, why put him on this task at such an important moment?

Is it because Maldini is easier to deal with or is he the closest to you? "

The No.3 reporter's question made the entire press conference burst into laughter, and Hoddle looked embarrassed: "This is out of tactical considerations and the needs of the time."

"So is that mistake made by Sol also in your plan?"

"No, that's because"

"It's so regrettable, there are still things in this world that you can't expect!"

England's performance was recognized, but Hoddle became the focus of media fire because of his emotional intelligence.

He used his strength to exclude himself from the atmosphere of the England team. He was neither recognized by the media nor supported by the dressing room.

In the post-match interviews, the English players avoided talking about their cerebral palsy head coach, and the English media didn't care about him at all.

In the face of achievements, no matter how advanced the tactical theory is, it is the younger brother.

In the eyes of the media, Hoddle's ability can be regarded as competent at best, and he has no way to compare with Venables.

Although Venables' reputation is not very good and his character is not very good, everyone has to admit that he is good at leading the team.

He made England's game pleasing to the eye, and also made England feel like a big football country in the World Series after they lost three games in the European Cup in 92 and were eliminated in the qualifiers for the World Cup in 3.

England captain Adams even praised the team's performance after the game: "We showed our courage in front of the world runner-up, as long as we can show our state in the last 30 minutes, we will not be afraid of any opponent.

David was amazing and we all have to admit he was the best player in the England squad.It's not just because he scored a goal, he also performed very well at other times.

It is true that football is a team sport, but we must cherish players with outstanding individual abilities.

Football is not more advanced than anyone else's theory, and it doesn't depend on who can predict it. Football is played kick by kick. "

And Ferguson also said in his personal column: "England's performance is not bad, but Glenn should learn to be firmly tied to the locker room. On this point, he should humbly ask his predecessors for advice. No team with a locker room problem can go further in the World Cup.

David's performance is outstanding, if I were the head coach of the England team, I would certainly not hesitate to praise myself.

Only the player is the leader of the game. The head coach cannot replace the player's position, and it will never be possible. Glenn should put himself in his position. "

When Ferguson said this, he was basically slapping Hoddle in the face in a gentlemanly way.

He had little to do with Hoddle before, but England's performance in trusting the manager did not win him over.

It's okay for Hoddle to blame other players, but now he has provoked himself, and a slap in the face is indispensable.

The harsh English media did not intend to let Hoddle go at all. Many media expressed pessimistically that England's home draw was actually a disadvantage in the competition with the Italian team.

Judging from the performance of this game, the England team has not yet found a way to score.

Many media believe that since Hoddle can pinch and count, he should be ready to play in the play-offs.

Unlike Hoddle who was sprayed to hold his breath by the media and his peers, Beckham received full praise after the game.

Among Beckham's group, "The Sun" bears the brunt. Fat Nick has now become Beckham's lackey.

Even if there are not many bright spots, you can find ways to find bright spots.

If you really have nothing to brag about, go find someone to spit on.

The British-Italian war ended, and the sports section of The Sun on the second day was occupied by a shirtless Beckham.

The amount of information in this photo is really not small. Beckham is excitedly punching towards the stands, and there are British dignitaries, the royal family, the legendary star of the England team and Sophie Marceau in the stands. The lineup should not be too luxurious.

In the photo, all the famous people are smiling and clapping.

And the fans beside them are much more crazy, some are jumping in the air, some are embracing each other, some are kissing each other, all kinds of life are in the photos.

It looked like a post-match celebration, but a closer look revealed a bit of irony.

The actions of those with a certain social status are all uniform, as if this way is in line with their status.

Some of them probably don't care about football at all, it's a social game, they don't care if England wins or loses.

But the atmosphere has been enhanced here, if you don't cater to the atmosphere, you may be considered arrogant and indifferent.

If you don't like it, why waste your time here?

No way, this is the obligation of social status.

I believe they still have a lot of things that they don't want to but have to do.

Maybe there is simply no way to do the things they enjoy during their waking hours.

Others were obviously very excited, but due to the occasion, they had to restrain their emotions and make some decent moves.

Everyone lives in a coat that society has made for themselves.

That's what Fat Nick said at the beginning, and his title is called "All Beings in the Stand".

First, he described the life in the stands, and then described a series of difficulties such as the strength of the opponent, the head coach's cerebral palsy, the captain's injury, etc., and then began to describe Beckham's performance.

He first contained Maldini's assists and effectively disintegrated the Italian team's offensive on the left.

After the team lost the ball, he played a core role and successfully delayed the Italian offensive at the cost of physical fitness.

After the start of the second half of the game, Di Matteo, who was "smart", even used extremely threatening crosses in the last 30 minutes of the game to make the Italian formation continue to recover.

The last 10 minutes of the game completely became England's half-court offensive drill, which gave the foundation for the last-minute goal.

As for the final goal, there is no need to brag about it. Within a day, all the people in England took the initiative or were forced to watch the video of the goal.

At the end of the article, Nick affirmed the role of Beckham's technical core in this game.

Why is the core?

The reason is very good. At all the turning points of the whole game, except for the fact that Beckham did not participate in the process of England conceding a goal, he played a vital role in all subsequent nodes.

As a shellfish, Fat Nick's theoretical foundation is still very solid.

This game fully inspired the blood of the England team, and no player in the locker room mentioned the 18-year invincibility.

As long as you win them once, this matter will be turned over, and the solution is very simple.

What Beckham didn't expect was that there was another dumbfounding effect in this game.

It hastened the destruction of Gary Neville's love affair in name only, and he ended up in a wet suit with that royal fringe within five minutes of the end of the game.

Beckham didn't understand the opponent's brain circuit. Gary Neville looked back at London affectionately when he boarded the return plane, and then put on a pretense and said something sour: "Farewell, old days!"

The first word was yelled out, and the next words were in a soothing tone, and the temperament was tightly controlled.
