In less than half an hour at the beginning, there was one missing person on the court, and it was the center back Alpay, who was in the middle of the three defenders - which immediately made the situation in Turkey worse.

Turkey's Denizli commanded two full-backs Yunsal and Arif back to the defense line, and the two central defenders recovered, and the formation changed from 352 to 432. However, in this way, their already passive midfielder began to become more passive.

After gaining an advantage in numbers, England began a fierce attack that was unreasonable!

Before, Türkiye had always wanted to speed up the pace but could not do it, but now they finally got it - without them trying to speed up the pace, England took the initiative to speed up the pace!

After gaining the advantage of the number of players, England's midfielder also began to gain a practical advantage. Tiger's position moved forward, while Scholes placed the position in the middle, and Beckham supported it on the right - they emptyed the left, and changed to a place that was of course easy for the opponent to use, but now Turkey has one less person, so naturally I don't care about this...

Tiger received a straight pass from Scholes near the opponent's penalty area. He quickly turned around and directly faced the opponent's goal, which surprised Okan, who was about to come up to make up for the defense.

Tiger naturally didn't care whether he was surprised or not. While the opponent's foothold was not stable, he immediately dribbled the ball from Okan, and then passed the ball to Shearer with a low pass. After Shearer received the ball, he passed it back. Tiger rushed forward and swung his right foot. Seeing his long-range shot, the Turkish defender came forward with his body. However, at the moment of touching the ball, Tiger did not shoot, but directly drove the ball forward and entered the penalty area!

Turkey's two central defenders were used to playing against the position where the three defenders leaned to the side. The original central defender was Alpay. Although they knew that Alpay had already ended, their thinking inertia made Turkey have such a big and small flaw in the middle of the penalty area...

Tiger rushed over from that gap now!

When the opponent's two central defenders rushed towards him like a dream, he had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and then swung his right foot near the penalty spot and shot hard!

According to calculations, it only takes less than one second for a professional player to shoot from near the penalty point to reach the goal line, while it takes one or two seconds for the goalkeeper to react. It is precisely because of this that penalty kicks mean death penalty in football matches, and unguarded shots in this place are even more deadly than penalty kicks!

Although Rustu responded at the first time and rushed to the lower left corner of Tiger's shot, it was still one step slower than Tiger's shot!

Before his palm completely blocked the lower left corner of the goal, the ball had already flew into the goal!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The fourth goal! Tiger's fourth goal in the European Cup! He scored the first record for England! A beautiful breakthrough shot!"

The moment the ball flew into the goal, a forest-like arms immediately stood up in the stands where the English fans occupied!

After shooting the ball out, Tiger rushed out of the baseline without even taking a look. Behind the goal was the stand occupied by Turkish fans. I don’t know whether he intentionally or unintentionally, he put his hand next to his ears, and ran half a circle along the stand occupied by Turkish fans, then ran to the bottom of the stand occupied by English fans, and opened his arms towards the stand!

From the beginning of the game, the scolding of Turkish fans never stopped. At this moment, Tiger's anger erupted!

You guys scold! I'm listening! Why are there no more? I seem to only hear the cheers of English fans...

Irving and Shearer ran over from behind him, Shearer pulled him around, and then Irving gave him a big hug!

"You guy, you really like to show off! You scored more goals than our two forwards!" Irving said with a big laugh.

"That's thank you for attracting their attention... Next, I will pass the ball to you!" Tiger laughed, waved his arms to the stands again, and then ran back.

For this game, England players have sufficient reasons to play well - Martin, Leeds players, Adams, and Arsenal players. In the past season, both teams lost to Galatasaray and lost the League Cup championship, Irving and Gerrard, Liverpool players. This stadium has a profound meaning for them...

At this moment, they shared the same hatred for the enemy! Tiger's celebration move that made Turkish fans furious made their eyes look at Tiger more friendly.

"Young man, please be careful. The atmosphere of this game is already very warm. I hope you don't add fuel to the fire." When Tiger returned to his half, the referee warned him.

"Sorry, Mr. Referee, I didn't notice that it was the stand where the Turkish fans were. I will never do this next time. I was confused just now." Tiger replied politely.

The referee smiled helplessly. He knew that Tiger was lying, but since he had said that, who could prove that he was lying? And his answer was so polite, which was enough to give the referee's face...

************************************************************

One less person and one goal behind, the Turkish players have always been very tenacious. Unfortunately, in this unfavorable situation, despite their crazy counterattack, they still couldn't tear away England's defense. England launched fierce pressing in the midfield, making their offense difficult to move forward.

Such a fierce battle naturally brought a large number of yellow cards - in just five minutes, three of the two teams each received a yellow card, Turkey's Okan and Yunsal both took one, England's Gerald also received a yellow card, plus the previous yellow cards of Okin and Philip Neville, the referee had already presented a red card and five yellow cards in the first half, proving the intensity of the game.

But Turkey's disadvantage on the court is obvious. They did not have their first shot until the 31st minute. Okan took a free kick and Suk headed the ball high. Before that, England had five shots, three of which were within the goal frame.

"We have to get another one in the first half, so as not to eat too many cards in the second half and affect the next game." Keegan said to himself.

In the 42nd minute, England finally scored again under a fierce attack. After receiving the ball, Tiger started to break through from the right. He broke through in a row. Two players forced the opponent's attention to him. At this time, he suddenly turned around and passed the ball back.

Undefended Beckham received a return pass from Tiger. He looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area, then immediately made a cross with his right foot, a beautiful arc ball!

Türkiye's defender Okin jumped up to compete for the top but failed to hit the ball. The ball leaked from the top of his head. Hiller, who followed the ball, made a powerful header against the ball, and the ball entered the net!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Shearer's third goal in this European Championship! Shearer is not old yet! Beckham's cross is so beautiful that he completely deceived Turkey's defender Okin... But he also has to thank Tiger for his breakthrough before that attracted enough attention. He was not disturbed at all when he crossed!"

Hiller raised his right hand and started the celebration in his monotonous celebration. Tiger ran to Beckham and hugged him.

"Shot, you can do it, cross, I can do it!" Beckham said to Tiger with a smile. He was in a good mood at this time...

"The lead in two goals in the first half should be fine in the second half, right?" Tiger said to Beckham thoughtfully.

Beckham glanced at him, then nodded with a smile.

But it is obvious that they still underestimated the Turkish players - this is a group of guys who will never give up until the end. Although they have not reached the peak yet, they already have such potential.

Just as the stoppage time in the first half was in the final stage, England's defenders were inevitably distracted, but at this time Turkey launched a very threatening attack. Midfielder Okan made a beautiful pass, and forward Arif got the ball and broke into the penalty area!

Adams was forced to tackle Arif from the side, and the referee's whistle sounded, and he rushed into the penalty area and pointed his finger at the penalty spot.

The Turkish fans who had been silent in the stands for a long time began to roar loudly. As long as the penalty kick was scored, they would only be one goal behind, and there would be a game in the second half!

Adams shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to make a foul this time, but what if he didn't make a foul? Then he faced the goalkeeper directly... and the referee was also merciless. Considering that his foul was not very good, he did not show him a yellow card.

The English players did not argue around the referee. Not giving Adams cards was already considered mercy. If they argued, they would be unworthy of getting a yellow card.

Martin stood in front of the goal and watched Arif prepare to take the penalty, but his heart was peaceful.

As the only Leeds player on the court, no one hopes to beat Turkey more than Martin - Arsenal just lost the game in the final, and Leeds, who is located, not only lost the ball, but also two fans died in Istanbul!

Martin was quite excited to see the team lead two goals, but unfortunately he has not made a save yet, because Türkiye has not shot within the goal frame so far.

Now, this opportunity has come.

Martin has always been a regular visitor to the England national team, but because of the existence of Heyman, he has always been a substitute. This game is one of the few times he has been in the top game for the national team - the last time, it was the last game in the group stage.

In the limited opportunities to play, you must also leave a trace of yourself.

The referee blew a whistle that could take the penalty kick. Martin stared at Arif's movements. Arif started running. After running close to the ball, he paused, but Martin did not make a save!

Arif backfired a little now. He originally wanted to lure Martin to distract his attention, but Martin did not move anyway. He could not pause for too long. Almost subconsciously, he swung his calf again and shot the ball out!

This shot was very powerful in a hurry, but the angle was not too clever!

Martin's body seemed so flexible at this moment. He pounced on the ball and blocked the ball with both palms!

After blocking the ball, Martin immediately rushed forward and pressed the ball tightly under him before Hakan Suk shot!

Suke could only stop helplessly in front of Martin. If he bumped into it on purpose, he would probably be able to get the cards again...

After hugging the ball, Martin immediately jumped up from the lawn with the ball in his arms, and then waved his arms that were not holding the ball in front of the stands!

"Martin saved a penalty! Martin, who had never gotten any chance in the national team, perfectly replaced the injured Heeman! He had several wonderful saves in the last group match, and at this time, he saved Arif's penalty! This goalkeeper from Leeds has always been very taciturn, but at this time, he seemed so crazy!"

The players from England rushed towards Martin cheering and were happy for Martin - and the game has been played so far, it is simply perfect. The team leads two goals, and the opponent sends one person off. At this time, a penalty kick was resolved by Martin with a wonderful save!

"We will definitely enter the semi-finals! This is what we deserve!" Leinker cheered. He did not say anything like "the two dead Leeds fans are blessing England", but all England fans have such ideas at this moment.

"We will definitely win!"

***************************************************

Alpay was sent off with a red card, which was Türkiye's first blow.

England scored two goals in a row, which was Türkiye's second blow.

Now that the penalty kick that was saved before the end of the first half was the third blow that Türkiye suffered.

No team can maintain confidence after suffering such blows continuously, and Turkey is no exception.

Even if they are tenacious, even if the best team in the world faces their current situation, there will be no good way.

England played very easily in the second half. They didn't have much offense, but they were patiently turning their feet down. They had to save energy and be familiar with this tactic that they had never played before. The opponents they faced next, whether France or Spain, were teams with very good foot skills. Now they began to feel that when facing such a team, it was always right to be familiar with the style of playing brought by Tiger.

Turkey, one person missing, could only struggle to support it, and they also created some opportunities, but they were all resolved by the defense line led by goalkeepers Martin and Adams. At the same time, England's counterattack threatened the opponent's goal again and again under the instigation of Tiger.

In the 57th minute, Tiger passed to Irving, and Irving's shot from the front of the penalty area hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

In the 63rd minute, Scholes passed the ball to Hiller, and Hiller passed it to Beckham. Beckham's shot was saved by Rustu.

In the 71st minute, England expanded the lead to three goals. Tiger broke through in the middle and passed the ball to Beckham. Beckham shot from the far corner in the penalty area to score his first goal in this European Championship.

In the 78th minute, Tiger once again made England fans crazy. Scholes passed the penalty area. After Tiger received the ball, he picked the ball over the head of the opponent's defender Okin, and then volleyed the ball directly in the air. The ball flew into the gate like a shell!

Four to zero! England smashed Türkiye into pieces!

After this goal, Tiger did not provoke Turkish fans anymore - they were also quiet at this time - Tiger rushed directly to the stand where Kelly was, and then made a heart-shaped move towards the stand.

The entire stands immediately burst into an uproar.

"Oh, is Tiger showing love? Let's find the stands... That's right, it's her! Kelly Brooke! There were rumors that Tiger and the London supermodel had broken up, but now it seems that the two have made up as before... Look, Kelly smiled so happily! This is a romantic scene!"

"Ha, you're really good! You're still playing this in the national team game!" Several England players cheered at Tiger together, and Philip Neville even said: "Look at us David, we have never done this kind of action to hot girls..."

Before he could finish his words, Beckham compared his middle finger to him.

"That's different." Tiger said seriously: "David and Victoria are already old couples... I still have to touch Miss Kelly's heart again now, otherwise she won't let me ***!"

The English players burst into laughter. At this time, they were relaxed - the four-to-zero score was enough to make them feel extremely relaxed!

Keegan on the sidelines was also preparing to substitution. He first replaced Tiger with McManaman, allowing Tiger, who performed well in this game, to accept the cheers of the fans alone. Then he was replaced by Beckham and Shearer - the other two players who scored goals, and Bambie and Phillips - As the top scorer of the Premier League, Phillips has not played in the European Championships yet. No wonder Irving and Shearer are unshakable in the main position of the national team. Even Tiger cannot squeeze out one of them, let alone Phillips, although he is in good shape this year.

In the next ten minutes, England players played more easily. Although Turkey gave up the defense and started to attack fiercely, it still could not score even a goal. When the stoppage time reached the third minute, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game. England swept Turkey four to zero, becoming the first team to enter the semi-finals!
Chapter completed!
