Chapter 360 Overtime

"After four days, the England players went into extra time. Except that the opponent changed from the Dutch team to the Brazilian team, it was the same, even the lads were lying in the same position."

Seeing the England players shaking their legs again, Martin Taylor blurted out an intriguing remark.

He wanted to use a slightly humorous tone to suggest that England could still win this game.

I don't know if the audience understood, but Lineker understood what he meant: "Well, I hope the end result is the same."

On the lawn next to the sideline, English players lay in a row in twos and threes, continuing to shake their legs.

Although such an action is slightly indecent, it is also helpless.

The England team started to play in the group stage on June 6, and played 15 games in 22 days, which is the rhythm of double matches a week.

In an event like the World Cup, every game after the group stage is a tough battle, and the mental pressure is huge.

Up to now, everyone is in a state of fatigue, and everyone's ability to control the expansion and contraction of the calf muscles has declined significantly.

If left unattended, the calf itself may shrink together after a while.

Once things happen to this extent, the calf will definitely be extremely sore and the mobility will be greatly reduced, so shaking is healthier.

The same is true for the Brazilian team. Ronaldo lay on the ground and was pinched by the team doctor and screamed.

On the contrary, Seaman and Taffarel calmly exchanged a few words with the people around them, and then drank some sports drinks.

Neil Bright shook hands with the England players one by one, and stopped deliberately when he reached Beckham: "David, let it go, you don't need to care about the result at this time."

Beckham nodded with a smile, savoring the connotation in the words of the "commissioner" carefully.

When the last game was about to enter extra time, Neil's wording was different from now. He encouraged everyone to be strong and kept emphasizing that victory must belong to England.

Through the difference between the two wordings, Beckham judged that the goal set for the England team before the FA World Cup should be to enter the semi-finals.

So when the England team and the Netherlands team fell into a hard battle in overtime, the "special commissioner" kept sending a message to everyone: this game must be won.

No wonder Keegan looked so nervous, that game should have been about a lot.

Neil looks much more relaxed now, even though the result of the game is pending, his spirit does not seem to be as tense as before.

Judging from the wording, he is also encouraging to give it a go, and the words imply a signal that risks can be taken appropriately.

Hehe, the British are so euphemistic when they speak.

If there is no obvious contrast, Beckham will never notice this detail.

Perhaps because the Brazilian team has a greater chance of winning, he encouraged England players to challenge the defending champion bravely.

Forget it, there is no need to think too much.

Beckham felt that his mind was as tired as his body. He didn't want to think about it any further. He got up, drank some sports medicine, and waited for the start of overtime.

"Oh, David has stood up. Judging from his expression, he still has enough energy. Compared with Gary beside him, his condition is obviously much better."

Beside Beckham, Gary Neville was soaking wet. It stands to reason that in this situation, he should change into clean clothes, which are comfortable and look neat.

It's a pity that there is only a 5-minute break. He can't be allowed to change his shorts in front of more than 6 spectators.
Gary's hair was also soaked, lying on his scalp, looking very embarrassed, but his eyes remained firm.

Beckham felt that Gary Neville looked like Scar from "The Lion King" at this time.

That's right, that insidious villain.

Gary Neville looked like a worker who had just finished heavy physical work, and said with a tired face: "When the game is over, I will lie on the beach for a week, and no one will stop me."

Coincidentally, I also had a similar idea.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the two teams returned to the court.

The fourth official also held up the substitution sign, and the Brazilian team replaced Leonardo with Denilson, and then exchanged positions with Rivaldo.

It looked like Brazil were poised to attack England's right flank in extra time.

Gary has to stand up!

"The Brazil team replaced Leonardo with Denilson. The England team seems to have no plans to make a substitution, but they have only used one substitution so far."

Martin Taylor was somewhat dissatisfied with the coaching staff of the England team, because from the start of the second half, the England team was basically in a state of "management".

The coaching staff of the England team fully demonstrated their will and quality of not helping, not making trouble, not working hard, and not giving up.

"Yes, although the Brazilian team also used a substitution quota, we should send new forces at this time, otherwise it will be a waste of resources."

Lineker agrees with that.

Overtime began, and the Brazilian team quickly passed the ball to Denilson's feet after kick-off.

After taking the ball, Denilson didn't care where his teammates were, covered his head and put the ball into England's half. After Anderton greeted him, he started the infinite bicycle mode.

Anderton shot at the right time, and Denilson pulled the ball back in an instant, letting the opponent miss it, and then showed off various footwork in front of Batty who stepped forward to defend.

Two England players circled around him, but they just couldn't get the ball.

"This player named Denilson is very bad at the ball, but he is obviously obsessed with dribbling, and his efficiency seems to be mediocre."

Lineker immediately commented on Denilson. Obviously, he doesn't like this type of player, or else he wouldn't even use the least tact and restraint.

And as if responding to Lineker with action, Denilson pulled the ball, cycled, and turned one and a half times, playing Anderton and Batty around.

Denilson passed two England players in a row to kill the hinterland of the England team, and then
Then he was shoveled by Gary Neville, and he dribbled the ball and fell heavily on the lawn, and still landed head first.

The UAE referee signaled Gary to foul, and then Pidianpidian ran towards England's backcourt.

The Brazilian players quit immediately and surrounded the referee.

How dangerous was that ball just now, did you see it?are you blind

As a result, Sampaio was shown a yellow card for being too excited.

"It turned out that the referee had a yellow card, but I thought he didn't have one."

Martin Taylor sighed at the level of the world. If the Danish referee Nelson were to play, he might get yellow cards all over the sky in the first half.

I feel that the referee from the United Arab Emirates usually watches the Premier League. Otherwise, how could the law enforcement standards be so loose?

The Brazilian team quickly took a free kick, but Adams saw it through and made a clearance.

After several passes, the football returned to Denilson's feet, and the Brazilian dribbling master began to flirt again.

Before he could play Anderton this time, Batty ran over from a distance.

Seeing Batty rushing towards him, Denilson was unmoved, made a fancy dribble, and then flicked the ball behind Batty.

With a scream, Denilson fell to the ground.

Batty rushed over from a distance and didn't even watch the football. It was a savage collision against Denilson.

"This is a bit too much, I don't know how the referee will make a penalty."

In slow motion, Barty, who is strong and fit like a football player, knocked Denilson to the ground with a push and an elbow.

The referee immediately showed a yellow card, which caused a burst of exclamation from the audience.

Finally out!
It turns out that only a foul of this level will get a yellow card, and the scale is too loose.

"Barty got another yellow card. According to the regulations, he will not appear in the next game because of the accumulation of yellow cards."

The screen returns to the field, and several Brazilian players surround Batty, trying to make trouble.

England's midfielder hooked the Brazilian player provocatively: "If you have the guts, touch me!"

Several Brazilian players wanted to hit him, they tried to verbalize Batty, but England kept swearing in Portuguese, saying a word or two back and forth.

At this moment, the fourth official held up the substitution sign, and they replaced Batty with Scholes.

After sitting on the bench for two knockout games, Jiangtou got another chance to play.

Obviously, Keegan wanted to send the Brazilian home with the golden ball, so Scholes was replaced with a more attacking ability.

After Batty left the field, he still hooked the Brazilian players with a provocative face, hoping that there would be someone who was not clear-headed.

He had already figured it out, if he dared to come, he would use the pendulum without saying anything, and he would not be able to make it to the next game anyway, at worst, he would be suspended for a few games.

It's just Batty's plan. Before the end of overtime, Keegan hinted that he would do a wave of things first, and then end.

Batty did it, and it seriously affected the mood of the Brazilians.

The game restarted, Denilson took the ball and saw Gary Neville pass the ball immediately, looking extremely well-behaved.

The Brazilian team didn't expect this guy to be useless, and in the end they could only shift the focus of attack to Ronaldo.

So Ronaldo began to take the ball frequently, and Scholes, Beckham and Ince all began to kill, sometimes siege.

The referee remained unmoved, once again showing his resistance to confrontation.

After three tosses and two tosses, the first half of overtime ended, and the two sides switched sides to continue the game.

Perhaps because of excessive physical exertion, the Brazilian team recovered its formation in the second half of overtime and became like Ronaldo before scoring.

This time, the England team is strict with Ronaldo. As long as the Brazil team dares to speed up, it will be brought down with or without the ball.

In the second 15 minutes, the England team took the initiative. Shearer tried two consecutive long-range shots, but the footballs missed the target.

England's pace in the second 15 minutes was methodical and a little clumsy on their feet, making it difficult to move the ball quickly.

This time, the two teams struggled for possession of the ball in the midfield, but as the game progressed, neither of them had the physical ability to dominate the game, and the game fell into a stalemate again.

Beckham wanted to take the ball and try a long-range shot, but the Brazilian defenders didn't give him a chance to observe at all, and he came up and made a steal.

He wants to score, but the Brazilian team guards against him, and he has no chance to lift his foot now.

With the referee's whistle, the 120-minute game ended, and the two teams began to arrange kickers.

The game has entered the most exciting penalty shootout!
