Chapter 1,282: Hope Completely Shattered
In the locker room, the England players were all smiles. They were very happy to see the current situation. They were two goals ahead and their chances of winning were getting bigger and bigger!
Jintiger looked at the players and said with great satisfaction: "Guys, you performed very well in the first half. I am very satisfied. But I hope you don't be proud. You must know that the German team can be a very tenacious team. If they are in The second half is about to explode, and we may be in big trouble. So in the second half, you continue to defend solidly, break decisively when you encounter good opportunities, and try to score another goal! If we get a score of 3-0, then this game will be Stable."
Then Kim Tiger said to Vardy: "Man, your opening goal was so beautiful! I am very satisfied. But I have to replace you because your injury is just right. The team doctor said it is best to only let you play for 45 minutes. I decided to follow the team doctor’s instructions. But don’t worry, just like what I said to Kane before, you still have enough games to play, don’t worry!”
Vardy was a little frustrated, but he also understood that Jin Taige was doing it for his health, so he nodded: "I am quite relieved about everyone. I will wait for the game to end on the bench and let's celebrate the victory together!"
At the beginning of the second half, the England team made substitution adjustments, with veteran Rooney replacing Vardy.
While Kim Tiger kept his eyes on the German team, he discovered that the German team had also made substitutions: Ozil and Werner, who had performed poorly, were replaced, and Reus and Muller were replaced.
Jin Taige let out a sigh of relief, great, Sane didn't go.
It seems that at this critical moment, Loew is not willing to give Sane more time.
At this time, Sane was sitting on the bench, looking at Loew with complicated eyes, without saying a word, and his face was ashen.
The second half of the game began.
Just as Jintiger imagined, the German team launched an attack from the beginning. Their 4-2-3-1 formation also changed to 4-4-2, and the new players Reus and Muller were pushed up front and became partners. Both of them are top stars in Germany and have extremely strong offensive power after playing.
Both of them were injured, so they were on the bench.
As the core of Bayern's offense, Muller's awareness and movement are top-notch.
Royce is also a talented player. Someone once said this to describe him: Royce who has always stayed healthy can be ranked among the top five in the world.
After the two men came on the scene in the second half, the danger in front of the England team's goal suddenly continued. Several players on the back line defended desperately to prevent the German team from scoring.
At this time, the offensive players were also a little anxious.
Rooney returned to defense one after another. He felt that it could not continue like this. He called Lingard over and gave some instructions. Lingard nodded, and they were all waiting for their chance.
The second half of the game lasted more than 20 minutes, and the two sides still did not change the score again.
Now the time has come to the 72nd minute.
This time it was Royce's wonderful breakthrough. He took a shot in the penalty area, but the angle of the shot was too straight and failed. Despite this, England goalkeeper Pickford did not dare to be careless. He was worried about letting go, so he did not choose to hold the ball. Instead, he punched out directly with both hands. The ball fell at the feet of Henderson outside the penalty area.
Before Henderson received the ball, he heard Rooney's voice asking for the ball, so he didn't stop the ball after receiving the ball, and rubbed it directly to the left. The ball went over Kroos's head and came to Rooney's feet on the left. .
After receiving the ball, Rooney went straight forward.
He immediately passed Gretzka!
There is an open space ahead!
"Rooney got a good chance! He took the ball and rushed up the left wing!"
"Khedira moved from the center to the wing to defend. Rooney did not force a breakthrough to the wing. He also dribbled the ball towards the center!"
"Khedira followed Rooney every step of the way and didn't let him have a chance to enter the penalty area! Rooney smashed the ball continuously at his feet and did not choose to pass it to Sterling on the right!"
"Sule attacked from the penalty area, and Khedira helped defend Rooney! Rooney wasted a good opportunity..."
"Rooney suddenly passed the ball to the left! The ball passed between Sule and Khedira to the left!"
"It's Lingard! When he was running just now, Lingard saw Rooney running towards the middle. He quickly came to the wing and exchanged positions with Rooney!"
"Lingard faces Kimmich's defense, a battle between two Manchester United teammates!"
"Lingard suddenly cut inside! Kimmich didn't follow him! He kicked the ball and shot! The ball went in!!!"
"In the corner of the penalty area, Lingard suddenly took a shot, and the ball hit the far corner, accurate to a millimeter!"
"The England team, in an extremely unfavorable situation after being suppressed by the German team for a long time, actually scored again through an effective counterattack!"
"Lingard scored a wonderful long-range lob in the first half, and now he has scored a curve ball. His performance is world-class!"
"Rooney also performed very well with the assist! He deserves to be a meritorious veteran of the England team!"
"3-0! There are more than ten minutes left in the game, and the England team is stable!"
Now that the game has reached the 75th minute, the German team has nothing to do.
Loew was anxious, so he made a risky decision-replaced Süle and replaced him with Sane! Give it a try!
After Sane came on the field, the German team's formation changed again. Sane came to the front line and partnered with Royce and Muller to form a three forwards. The German team changed to a 3-4-3 formation.
With fifteen minutes left, the German team had to score three goals to send the game into overtime.
Just two minutes after Sane came on, he broke through Trippier and Cahill on the left and volleyed directly into the goal from a small angle! Pickford failed to defend and the ball shot into the net from under his ribs.
3 to 1! The German team got a goal back!
Sane didn't want to celebrate at all. He rushed into the net, hugged the ball and ran back! Want to resume playing as soon as possible!
The German fans in the stands once again saw the hope of creating a miracle!
There are now 12 minutes left in the game, and the German team still has a chance!
But in the 83rd minute of the game, the Germans' hopes were completely shattered.
This time, after the English team successfully defended, they launched another counterattack.
Sterling on the right rode through the barrier alone, performing the plot of getting acquainted with Sane just now. He broke through Khedira and Hector consecutively and won a good chance to cross. His cross was very accurate. Attracted by Kane from the front, Rooney from the back shot lightly and scored, expanding the score again.
"4 to 1! England once again widened the score gap to three goals!"
After scoring the goal, Rooney and his teammates celebrated wildly, and the fans in the stands almost shouted hoarse!
Morris in the live broadcast room also shouted excitedly with a hoarse voice: "There are less than ten minutes left before the game, and the German team's hopes are completely shattered!"
