Chapter 1,308, A Record-Breaking Journey!

At the end of overtime, many England players fell on the court, gasping for air.

They are so tired!

Starting from falling behind 0-3, England's second half was crazy. They frantically recovered three goals and equalized the score. In overtime, they faced the situation of playing with one less player, and had to use crazy running to make up for the lack of numbers. At this point, England's players are feeling exhausted.

The England team's coaching staff rushed to the court and gave the players massages to relieve their muscle soreness to the greatest extent.

Jin Taige looked at the players and said happily: "Guys, I can't ask for more from you! You are so outstanding! Now that you are here, you are only a few steps away from winning the cup. Cheer up. , if you can resist the last few minutes, you will be the champion!"

"I now have to arrange the candidates for the penalty shootout. Well, your physical conditions are different now. For example, Sterling has cramped and will definitely not be able to play. I hope you will consider it yourself and measure it based on your physical condition. Who can still take a penalty? Who has the confidence to take a penalty?!"

Just as Jin Taige finished speaking, captain Kane stood up first: "Boss, I am the captain and a striker. It is my duty to take the penalty kick! I demand to be the first to play!"

Jin Taige nodded: "Okay, I will arrange for you to appear first."

Vardy also stood up: "I am also the forward of the team, and I also want to take penalty kicks!"

Just after Vardy finished speaking, Rashford and Rooney also took the initiative: "Both of us also want to take penalty kicks!"

Now there are four people, Jin Taige continues to look around: "There is still one person missing, who is willing?"

Trippier had just shown signs of cramping in his leg. If Stones hadn't pressed down on him a few times, Trippier might have died. But now the four forwards have decided to take a penalty kick. Among the remaining players, Trippier's penalty kick success rate is considered to be very high, so he is ready to struggle to stand up and ask for the penalty kick.

But at this moment, a hand gently pushed him down to sit down, and then a player next to him stood up: "Boss, I came off the bench in good physical condition, and there is no problem in taking penalty kicks!"

Kim Tiger took a look and saw that the person speaking was none other than his captain at Manchester United, Carrick.

Jin Taige hesitated for a moment, but he did not agree immediately.

Although Carrick said that he came on as a substitute, so his physical strength was fine, he played 45 minutes in the second half and 30 minutes in overtime, and he was very tired now. As a 36-year-old veteran, Carrick has reached his limit at this point. Jin Taige is really not sure whether he can take this penalty kick.

Carrick saw Jintiger's concerns and smiled: "Boss, don't worry, I'm 36 years old. I'm definitely not trying to show off my talents regardless of the interests of the team. In the Champions League final last month, Didn’t I also successfully score a penalty? I’m sure to score, don’t worry.”

Hearing what Carrick said, Jin Taige nodded with confidence: "Okay, count you in!"

Kane, Vardy, Rashford, Rooney and Carrick, the five penalty kickers have been determined. Next is the issue of sorting. Among the five penalty kickers, the first and last are often under the greatest pressure, so be sure to choose the players with the best mental qualities and skills. After discussing with the coaching staff, Kim Tiger decided to let Kane take the first penalty, leaving veteran Carrick to play the last one. The second to fourth places are Vardy, Rashford and Rooney respectively.

In this way, the order of the five players to take penalty kicks was decided, and Jin Taige made another arrangement: if there is still no winner after five rounds, then the players themselves will take the initiative to take charge of the next penalty kick. punishment,

He made no further arrangements.

Players from both sides were preparing for the penalty shootout. In the live broadcast room of Sky TV, Morris and Raman were also chatting about the situation of the penalty shootout.

Morris first announced something to the TV audience: "Rooney's final goal just now has been technically announced by the international football technical department - the shot location was 41 meters away from the goal!"

"In the distant 1978 World Cup, when the Netherlands faced Italy, after a quick free kick, Alihan broke the net with a 40-meter shot and helped the Netherlands score. That was the longest distance in the World Cup. Goal."

"Rooney's goal just now has broken a 40-year-old record and became the longest goal in the history of the World Cup!"

"England's World Cup journey is simply a record-breaking one!"

"They defeated Nama 10-0 in the group stage, breaking the record for the largest point difference! In the semi-finals against Spain, they set another record for scoring in the opening 10.8 seconds! Now Rooney has set the longest distance Goalscoring record! This England team is simply amazing!”

After Morris finished sighing, Raman looked at Wenger beside him. Wenger had not spoken for a long time.

"Professor, what do you think of this game?"

Wenger took a deep breath and said slowly: "I found that I made a serious mistake in judgment."

Morris asked: "Did you not expect that the England team is so amazing?"

Wenger shook his head: "No, I didn't expect Coach Kim Tiger to be so amazing! He has succeeded in leading the England team to this point on his own! I dare to say now that Kim Tiger is the best coach of this era. There is no such thing as a good football coach!"

Raman said a little unconvinced: "Professor, I think you are a little too superstitious about Kim Tiger? I admit that he is very good, but I think the outstanding performance of the England team players is the most important!"

Wenger said slowly: "The true level of the England team may be the level of the 2-1 victory over Tunisia in the first game of the World Cup. And under Kim Tiger's training, it only took him a few days to go from strength to strength." 2-1 turned into 10-0, isn’t this the credit of Kim Tiger?”

"In the game against Germany, that exquisite free kick tactic helped England take the lead. Isn't that the result of Kim Tiger's pre-match tactical training?"

"In the semifinals, Kim Tiger's resolute command, after being tenaciously equalized by his opponent, decisively attacked and won the winning free kick. Isn't it the role of Kim Tiger's excellent on-the-spot command?"

"In this game, we were 0-3 behind in the first half. The four veteran England players who appeared at halftime were exactly the mentality adjustment method planned by Kim Tiger, and it worked very well! Isn't this the credit of Kim Tiger? ?”

"I admit that the English players work hard, but without Kim Tiger, they would not be able to reach the finals even if they risk their lives!"
