Chapter 684 The first time in forty-eight years

Chapter 684: The first time in forty-eight years

Joe Hart, who has only two years of Championship and six months of Premier League experience, became England's main goalkeeper, which is one of the most considered "nepotism" measures since Xiao Ming took office.

However, in these games, Hart's performance was quite good - at least, he did not often make low-level mistakes like the previous goalkeepers. Although there were not many wonderful saves, for England today, a goalkeeper with stable performance seemed to be more suitable than a goalkeeper with amazing saves but occasionally nerve-wracking...

It is precisely because of Hart's stable performance in the game that this doubt began to become smaller. After all, after Heyman retired, both James, Robinson, Green and Carson had inexplicable low-level mistakes in the game, which greatly reduced the defensive ability of England's defense line - after all, if the goalkeeper behind him was a time bomb, it would also affect the performance of the defender. On the contrary, the goalkeeper behind him made fewer mistakes, and the defender was more dedicated to defending.

However, although Hart is very steady and diligent on the court, he is indeed not a talented goalkeeper like Buffon Cassi who can show amazing abilities in his teenage years. He has potential and physical fitness, but he still needs to gradually increase his experience. This is very similar to Jasqueline. Jasqueline is the kind of goalkeeper who does not show off and does not show off. However, outside of stability, he often makes wonderful saves. The older he is, the better he performs. That is because of the gradual accumulation of experience. What Hart lacks now is experience.

It is precisely because of this that when Torres saw him facing Hart with a single shot, all the English fans were in a dark spot, thinking that the ball was probably lost.

For Hart, he had been under the tight protection of the front and rear defense lines before, but now, he is the only one who can fight.

Hart rushed out of the penalty area, staring at Torres who was driving forward with the ball, and quickly faced the opponent.

Torres looked at Hart who rushed out of the penalty area. Hart was more than 1.9 meters tall and his arm span was very long. He attacked in time, so when he opened his arms and rushed to a place less than ten meters away from Torres, Torres could no longer see too many shooting angles.

Since both sides cannot do it, then...the above!

During the run, Torres made a realistic fake move to push the far corner. Hart was short and was about to block Torres' shooting angle. Seeing that Hart was already short, Torres showed a smile on his lips, and then stretched his feet to pick under the ball!

Picking shot!

The ball drew a curve and was about to fly over Hart's head and into the empty door behind him!

Daniel had just rushed behind Torres and still could not interfere with Torres' shot!

The ball flew into the air, and anyone with some eyes could see that with this arc, as long as it crossed Hart's head, there would never be a chance to destroy Torres' third goal in this European Championship!

Many English fans covered their mouths, but at this time, a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives appeared in front of them.

Hart, who was already short, instantly adjusted his center of gravity and then soared into the sky like a rocket!

Although he has an impressive height, Hart's weight is not too big. He is relatively thin. Although he reduces some deterrence, he has enough bounce ability and sensitivity.

The height of 1.9 meters and arm span allowed Hart to complete this wonderful save.

When the ball was about to pass over Hart's head, Hart had already jumped to the highest point, reached out and held it under the ball as much as possible. The ball that slowed down fell, and Hart's body fell down.

Torres was stunned and immediately rushed over to make a comeback. At the same time, Daniel, who had already returned to the defense, would certainly not watch him run over like this. The two of them ran towards the ball that was still jumping in the lawn. At this time, Hart, who had fallen down, climbed up with his hands and feet, and pressed the ball tightly under him before the two caught up with the ball.

Daniel braked suddenly, stopped in front of Hart, then opened his arms and stopped Torres behind. Torres hit Daniel's back, and then he also saw the ball pressed under Hart, helplessly helped Daniel and stopped.

At this time, a storm-like cheer broke out in the stands.

"Beautiful job, Joe!"

"St. Joe. Hart!"

Cheers from England fans rang out in the stands, and Daniel leaned over and patted Hart on the head: "Beautiful job, Joe!"

Hart let out a long sigh, grabbed Daniel's hand and climbed up. His other hand was still holding the ball tightly, his eyes full of determination.

Only in the thrilling game tempering can young players grow rapidly.

Next, it became Hart's performance time.

Harvey's long shot outside the penalty area was saved by Hart with one hand.

Silva made a cross from the wing, and Hart, who was accurately attacked, took the ball off the top of Torres' head in advance.

Hart, who saved the opponent's threatening shots, became more and more energetic. In the previous games, due to England's tactics, he actually did not receive much pressure. The English defenders who attached more importance to defense intercepted most of the attacks. He only needed to concentrate and not make mistakes. In this game, the opponent's fierce offensive firepower was one aspect, and England was more open to play, and he faced much more shots than before.

However, it is precisely because in this harsh environment that Hart gets more exercise than in previous games.

After another save from Fabregas, he shot a threatening shot outside the penalty area, Joe Hart threw the ball out with force.

After being suppressed by Spain for a while, it was England's turn to launch a counterattack!

The ball thrown by Hart fell directly to Barry's feet. Barry did not choose to pass the ball, but began to dribble the ball and start to break through the middle!

Among the several players Xiao Ming reused after taking office, Hart was one of the players he personally promoted to the national team, and Barry was also a player who officially began to reus.

However, in the current England national team, Barry plays the role of Pirlo from Leiden East. He organizes offenses at the back of the midfield and organizes the back midfield in the name of the left forward. He has always done a good job. Occasionally forward assists can also play a big role. However, because he does a good job in this role, even Aragonese ignores it a little - he is a full-back and a full-time forward, and his personal ability and speed of dribbling and breakthrough are also quite good...

Iniesta, who was filling up, was carried away by Bari on one shoulder, and then Bari continued to move forward - Bari, who was a defensive player, also had excellent physical fitness. It was not until Fabregas and Xavi hit him at the same time that Bari handed the ball to Lampard in front.

Lampard directly handed the ball to Lennon on the right, and then rushed forward by himself. Lennon dribbled the ball along the side. When he was about to break through to a place parallel to the penalty area line, he suddenly stopped urgently and raised his foot to pass the ball across to Lampard who had already responded.

Lampard made a heavy gun and shot the ball. Marchener rushed over and prepared to block the ball with his body. However, Lampard's shot was another feint, and then he raised his foot and passed the ball horizontally!

Gerald, who was a little later than Lampard, immediately shot hard against the ball!

With the help of running and swinging legs, Gerald's shot was extremely powerful. The ball made a dull sound and then flew to the left side of the goal!

Although the shooting speed was very fast, Casillas still made a timely judgment. The direct shooting of the ball made the shot stronger, but it was even more difficult to grasp in terms of angles. Although Gerald's shooting power was extremely powerful, the angle was on the left side of the center. Casillas had time to react.

However, at this time, Marchener helped a bad move.

When the ball flew past him, he subconsciously raised his foot. The ball hit the outside of his thigh, slightly changed direction, and flew directly to the middle...

Casillas, who had already made a save, twisted his body and planned to change the center of gravity again. However, the shot was extremely fast and he failed to make a correct judgment at the first time and could not make a second reaction at all!

The ball flew quickly from where Casillas had just stood, and then hit the ball net!

Two to one! England took the lead again!

Gerald clenched his fists and let out a long whistle to the sky!

The English players on the court began to pounce on Gerald from all directions to congratulate him. Hart turned around to face the English fans behind him and raised his arms high!

"England leads again! Gerald's long shot hit Marchener and flew into the goal... Unlucky Casillas! However, England deserves this goal! They had no less than three excellent scoring opportunities before, and they were all magically resolved by Casillas! Now, Casillas' magic cannot save Spain!"

"Don't be conservative! Keep attacking for me! I still want to score a goal!" Xiao Ming yelled at the players celebrating off the court.

Venables and Pierce looked at each other and only said in their hearts - this madman!

Aren't he afraid that the other party will use his chance to equalize the score again?

Aragones used the second substitution.

Guysa replaced Silva, who had performed mediocrely so far, and Spain returned to the double striker again, trying to strengthen the offense.

"Leo, deal with him!" Xiao Ming made a cold dispatch.

Guyisa's proud body and impact power are completely unable to play under the defense of the sky-high central defender Ferdinand. Ferdinand may have some concerns about Villa's agile forwards, but he will never be afraid of Guyisa's forwards with strong impact power!

At the same time, England's attack was still endless like a roar!

If a crazy offense fails to score a goal, it will hurt morale, but after scoring, it will play smoother.

This is the case in England today.

Aragones' brows became tighter and tighter. He felt that this game began to break out of his control - England's attack has been completely played. The more the players in the frontcourt played, the smoother the more they played, the back and forth between several people often made the Spanish defenders work hard to grab the ball, while Spain's attack began to suffer difficulties. The English midfielder pressing like a lunatic in the English midfield made their pass success rate begin to decrease. What made Aragones feel even more bad is that under his training, the Spanish players, who have rarely had psychological fluctuations, seem to have made old problems again, and they are starting to worry about gains and losses on the court...

In fact, what has always restricted Spain from moving forward is the fragile psychology formed by the long-term soft-legged shrimp in the World Cup. Two years ago, it was under the pressure of experienced France that Spain, which originally had the advantage, was eliminated from the quarterfinals. Originally, in history, Spain broke the curse after winning the European Championship. It was only after losing the first match of the World Cup two years later that Spain finally won the World Cup championship. Now, the psychological shackles of the Spanish national team have not been shattered.

Their offense has always been invincible before. Although their defense is a bit flawed, it has never affected their victory. Apart from having a little trouble in the group stage against Sweden, even the Netherlands has never led them...

In this game, they fell behind for the first time in the European Championship and had difficulty scoring the goal for the first time. Now it is 70 minutes in the second half, and the opponent's advantage has become bigger and bigger with time...

All of this has made Spain's psychological burden heavier and heavier. Since the start of this European Championship in England, three traditional strong teams have fallen under their iron hooves. Will we be the fourth one?

These damn guys are so good at running and like fouls too much. Until now, England has committed fouls in total for 27 fouls, but they only received one yellow card. They are not very good at moving, but they are very good at choosing the timing and location of fouls!

These rough guys who don't understand football art...

When the game reached the 79th minute, England's final blow completely shattered Spain's resistance.

After continuous passes in the frontcourt, England tore up Spain's defense line. Rooney received a direct pass from Lampard and broke through to the bottom line, and then returned to the goal!

Lennon missed the front point!

Gerald, who followed in the middle, missed!

Beckham ran up at the back point!

Beckham also took the lead in this game. As a midfielder, he not only had to defend in the backcourt, but also often appeared in the right forward position to upload. Now he even ran to the goal to grab the spot...

This goal is the best reward for Beckham's efforts in this game.

Facing the ball rolling over, looking at Casillas who was rushing over, there was a hint of despair on his face, but Beckham didn't want to show mercy at all. He took a big step forward and immediately pushed his right foot to shoot!
Chapter completed!
