Chapter 334 Doomed to Difficult Knockout Road
"David's here! Gary, do you think there's hope for us?"

Seeing Beckham standing on the sideline, Martin Taylor, who looked like he had slapped three shots just now, suddenly stood up.

In the first round of the group stage, Martin Taylor, like other Beckham fans, thought that Hoddle took Beckham out of the starting lineup for the rest of the game.

Unexpectedly, Beckham's name was still not included in the starting list that he got a day ago, and he immediately became unhappy, and Hoddle was already contained before the game started.

As a result, the trend of the game was even worse than he had imagined. The England team conceded three goals in an hour and was beaten to the last breath.

Seeing that the team was behind by three goals, Martin Taylor was already holding his breath. During the commentary, he said something for a long time, making the live broadcast as if there was no host.

But after seeing Beckham on the sidelines, he felt his heart beating again.

"Of course we have hope, but the probability of a reversal is about the same as that of a patient who is medically determined to be dead. Ely's goal has killed the game. You can't expect a high-level team like Romania to concede three goals in 30 minutes."

Lineker glanced at Martin Taylor angrily. This guy was a dead fish just now, completely disregarding the atmosphere of the commentary, which made him have been talking all this time, and he seemed to have no face at all.

He decided to pour some cold water on Martin Taylor to prevent this guy from talking nonsense in the future.

Unexpectedly, Martin Taylor's mentality has not weakened, but it is even stronger than before: "If this is the case, David is not responsible. I hope that someone will be able to shoulder his responsibility like a man by then!"

"Ahem, but David's appearance is not meaningless. After all, there will be games later. If David can drive the team's performance, it will at least improve morale.

Colombia is not as bad as people think, there is no rubbish in the team that can qualify from South America.If England play the third game in the form they are in, there is no guarantee that we will get out of the group. "

Lineker's words had a good effect. Martin Taylor's mental state first suppressed and then rose again, and he successfully returned to the state of the commentator.

As Beckham ran into the stadium, Hathaway immediately screamed, which made Elaud's liver tremble a little. He looked at the scary eyes of the Romanian fans around him, and showed a helpless and polite smile.

What about the neutral zone tickets?
Why are there all kinds of "libraries" around.
Hathaway screamed regardless, even if she was placed in the stands of Romanian fans, she would still come like this!

While running, Beckham looked up at the electronic screen behind the goal. The score of 0 to 3 was a bit dazzling, and the game had entered an urgent 65 minutes.

After the toss just now, the game time was lost for nearly 5 minutes. The England team was still at a loss, and Romania had adjusted the rhythm of the game.

They kept the ball at their feet and stopped rushing to attack.

After all, Romania was the top eight team in the last World Cup. In addition, the team is suppressed by the veteran Haji, so they have a very thorough understanding of the game.

There will be more important games later, and it doesn't make any sense to catch a sheep.

Beckham was double-teamed on his first touch, and the two Romanian midfielders immediately covered him.

Even Hathaway knew that the England team was going to start on Beckham, how could the Romanian players not know?
Now that you know, lock him up.

If the England team is still dead after Beckham plays, let alone a reversal, even scoring can only be a luxury.

Now except for a few people who still have a glimmer of hope for England, most people have lost their desire to win, and the English players look more like doing their best.

It is impossible for Beckham to do his best. He knows very well that he has to go to the dead half zone where Argentina, the Netherlands and Brazil are located. If he wants to advance from this half zone to the final, he hopes to be far smaller than the upper half zone where the French team is located.

Seeing Popescu and Montenuo double-teaming, Beckham turned around and passed the ball to Gary Neville, then turned and ran forward.

Gary Neville knew it, and immediately sent an overhead ball without stopping the ball. The football passed through the Romanian midfielder and went straight to the right of the front field.

Seeing that the left central defender Raduchoyu was about to form a siege with Montenuo, Beckham didn't stop the ball and took advantage of the situation to move the ball forward.

This bold breakthrough instantly ignited the England fans. They were used to seeing Anderton's maturity and prudence, and finally he was excited again.

And just when Beckham was about to get rid of the defender, Raduchoyu immediately took a big step in Beckham's direction, and then slammed into the opponent with his upper body.

With an exclamation, the England fans called out all the dirtiest words to the Romanian defender.

The Romanian central defender was unmoved, but instead shrugged at the referee, saying that he had no intention of doing so.

The referee immediately showed a yellow card.

This is the World Cup, it is impossible for him to allow such large-scale fouls to occur frequently.

Seeing Beckham rolling twice on the ground in pain, Hathaway said to Lloyd with a distressed face: "Won't this kind of foul be punished?"

Lloyd could only show a helpless smile: "Every profession has its risks, and watch the game quickly, David is about to kick off!"

Lloyd could only smile wryly when his daughter heard Beckham's name and turned her attention back to the court as if she had been cursed.

Daughter!Are you tempted wildly on the verge of death, and don't you worry about your father at all?
The position of the free kick was not far from the center line, and it was still close to the sideline. The Romanian team's free kick did not give Beckham any chance.

On the contrary, it was the collision just now that made his face pale a lot.

"Gary, do you think that with David's free kick skills, there is hope for this ball?"

Martin Taylor's words immediately attracted Lineker's attention. He repeatedly looked at his partner sitting next to him, a fan of Beckham, like a fool, and then said: "If you kick from the height of the tenth floor, there is hope even further away."

Martin Taylor: "."

It's like talking bullshit.

Seeing that Lineker was unwilling to cooperate with him, Martin Taylor simply said to himself: "David is going to take a free kick, let's see what will happen!!!"

Lineker sneered silently. Years of training made him refrain from haggling with the other party.

In his eyes, brainless fans are devout believers of his idol. In order to support his idol, most of them have a tendency to ignore science and embrace superstition.

For this kind of brainless pursuit, Lineker was a little dismissive.

The free kick at this position cannot be a fixed-point cross, and the score is a strong point. Husky was replaced, and the only good headers for the England team were Campbell, Adams and Shearer.

Um, as far as Hiller's height is concerned, I don't need to mention it.
Lineker looked at Owen with the eyes of a child. This young man from Liverpool's youth training was like a field mouse constantly circling with the defenders in the penalty area, and Lineker shook his head involuntarily.

Such a small person, what's the use of running like this?
It's useless to run out of flowers.

Physical strength is not so wasted, it is still too young, if it is me
"David runs up and he takes the free kick!!!"

Lineker was wandering silently in the world of complaints, and Martin Taylor's roar broke his train of thought at once. It felt like someone pinched his waist when he was about to release the water, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Martin Taylor was yelling incoherently as Lineker looked towards Beckham's free-kick.Both the radian and strength of the football are good, but it is a bit high.

Wait, Ilgner said the same thing after the Champions League final, and I always feel that something is wrong.

Lineker looked at the football carefully. The England team's commentary position is in the center of the pitch, and it is the best viewing position on the pitch in terms of angle and height.

He stared at the football line intently, and his eyes suddenly became bright: "The point is behind!"

His voice was so loud that even Martin Taylor, who was bragging himself, stopped and looked towards the court.

With Beckham's free kick, the two headers, Campbell and Adams, rushed to the forward point, and Ince and Batty also rushed to this position.

The Romanian defenders surrounded the English players without hesitation. There was a clear division of labor between the blocking players and the top contenders, and the defensive work was handled in an orderly manner.

Just when the two teams deployed their heavy troops at the front point, the football in the air spun rapidly while falling, quickly bypassed the front point, and flew towards the back point along an arc.

Shearer suddenly appeared in people's sights as if coming out of a portal. He raised his foot to meet the ball and shot without making any adjustments at all.

Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of England fans, the football pierced through the fingers of the Romanian goalkeeper and hung straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

1 is better than 3!

Shearer fished the football out of the goal, turned and ran towards the circle, without even having time to celebrate.

"David did it. I had a hunch for a long time. He really did it, haha!"

What happened when a football commentator laughed out a pig cry in the live broadcast.

Lineker smiled and patted the table. He now felt that the little old man Martin Taylor's problem was not as big as he imagined.

Now fans all over England are probably in the same mood. The difference is that some people can't bear it, but the little old man Martin Taylor is gushing out.

On the court, Hathaway raised her hands high and danced around in the stands, which made Lloyd feel a little uncomfortable.

As a lawyer who often has to solo with others, he has some understanding of psychology.

Numerous experiments in behavioral psychology have shown that raising your hands often expresses genuine joy.

He believed that if his daughter was with Beckham, she would probably be willing to live ten years less.

This is strange, how did the person whom he admired at the age of 13 persist until the age of 16?

How to feel more emotional.
Does this sound like a word?

In the stadium, almost all England players came to pat Beckham.

Although there is not enough time, this goal still gave all the English people a shot in the arm.

"David took less than 5 minutes to help England recover a goal. He showed everyone his form with his performance. Not only is there no problem, but he is very good. Some people are lying!"

"If England lost today, someone should be fully responsible. David is not at fault, and if there is a fault, it is the fault of love, because we can never control the beginning and end of love. Some people are too jealous and narrow-minded. It turns out that he is at best a qualified assistant coach. This level wants to teach England? Everything that happened today fully proves that he is not a qualified head coach! Gary, speak up!"

Under the coercion of Martin Taylor, Lineker found that it was really not easy to be alone. He could only play a sloppy eye: "Martin, I feel that you suddenly look 20 years younger, but David's performance is really great!"

The game restarted, and the Romanian players were generally a little bit up. They felt that they were offended by Beckham's free kick and the waves of the England fans. They wanted to score another goal.

So Romania accelerated the speed of receiving the ball, and began to put pressure on the England team by using the tactics of the result of the side.

In the World Series, substituting offense for defense is a courageous choice.

Offense can suppress the opponent's transmission and compress the opponent's formation, but aggressive tactics will also leave hidden dangers in the backcourt.

Romania ignored England's midfield block because they were not afraid of it.

But being aggressive doesn't mean being reckless. Romania sent people to mark Scholes and Beckham.

Beckham wasn't affected at all, and that's what he was treated for every game.

If an opponent leaves him alone, it is estimated that he will not know how to play at once.
In the next 10 minutes, both teams got chances to score.

First, Scholes' long-range shot hit the crossbar, followed by Haji's free kick.

Seeing the Romanian veteran wasting free kicks again and again, Beckham was really envious.

The Romanian players really don't give England a free kick. They are now cautious in fighting in the midfield.

In the 81st minute, Beckham was flanked by his opponent again after taking the ball from the wing. He paused for a while and suddenly pushed the ball along the wing to the frontcourt.

Looking around, the Romanian players saw that there were neither offensive players nor let-go players in the "no matter what" zone.

His pass rolled to the corner flag, and the full-back came up to grab it. This is the defensive area that the three-central back formation cannot cover.

Just when everyone was a little confused, Gary Neville suddenly told him to rush forward. He ran until he was close to the bottom line before making a cross.

Shearer grabbed the first point again, and the Romanian goalkeeper had to use his strength to block the football.

Center defender Popescu immediately passed the ball to his younger brother. Popescu, who is 6 years younger than him, rushed forward along the center and took a shot before the English player could completely block it.

The England team made three consecutive mistakes in an offense and defense, and the Romanian players gradually pressed up, and just when they thought they had regained their advantage, Ince showed his strength.

He squeezed Haji down with his body, and immediately passed the ball to the front right. Beckham accelerated towards his own half, and got rid of Montenu, who had reached the peak of his physical fitness.

The England fans instantly went up!

The Romanian player turned around and looked, Owen suddenly took the ball and walked forward for nearly 10 meters, and instantly got rid of the entanglement of the right central defender.

At this time, there were only two central defenders left in the Romanian penalty area. Shearer and Owen formed a 2-on-2 formation with each other.

As England's main center forward, he moved decisively to the right.

Seeing that he moved to his main foot, the Romanian player dared not neglect and immediately chased after him.

So amid the cheers of the English players, Owen changed direction three times in a row, causing Popescu to panic and almost sat on the ground.

When he adjusted his balance, Owen had already completed the shot. The Romanian goalkeeper jumped sideways, bounced on the ground and slid on the lawn, and the football had already flown into the goal.

2 is better than 3!

"The goal is scored again, we still have time!"

Martin Taylor raised his hands in the broadcast seat of the stadium and shouted: "Michael's goal is great, David's pass is even better, they are England's twin stars! We changed the game in less than 25 minutes. Glenn is responsible for this game. If England loses, then he will ruin the team's good situation with his own hands. He is not a qualified head coach. I want to accuse him of his real name!"

Faced with his dangerous speech, Lineker hurriedly smoothed things over: "Let's get back into the game. The boys should seize these few minutes. As long as we score another goal, we will take the initiative."

In the ensuing game, the Romanian team left only one offensive player in the frontcourt to contain the defensive strength of the England team, and all other players were devoted to defense.

The England team could only keep passing the ball to the penalty area. The Romanian players completely recovered their sanity at this time and never gave the England team a chance.

England went all the way to the end without scoring a third goal
At the end of the game, Beckham walked to the player channel disappointedly. The Romanian veteran Haji stopped him, and the two exchanged shirts.

Beckham, who saw the Romanian uniform on his team uniform, suddenly remembered something and reminded his teammates to thank the fans. Martin Taylor said indignantly in the studio: "I saw Glenn. He is not far from me. If it wasn't for keeping a gentleman's demeanor, I would like to spit on him!"

In the fans stands, Hathaway was writing and drawing in her notebook, then turned to look at Lloyd: "Dad, if Romania doesn't lose to Tunisia, England will meet Argentina in the first round of the knockout round, right?"

Lloyd nodded. "Yes, the premise is... there is no premise, that's how it is."

Hathaway continued to ask: "Then England will be very dangerous, right?"

Lloyd smiled and patted his daughter on the shoulder: "Not necessarily, but the game will definitely be exciting."

After the game, Hoddle has been sitting on the coach's bench without moving. This score is the worst result he can accept.

He can now fully imagine what will happen at the press conference for a while.

Beckham's heart is heavy, and England's road to the knockout round couldn't be more difficult.
