Chapter 899, You, Play!
Seeing that everyone asked him to take a free kick, Gerrard did not refuse. He stood next to the ball, took a deep breath, and took a few steps back.
At this time Gerald thought of many past years. Free-kicks were common throughout his career. Maybe this kick was the last chance for a free kick...
"Gerrard, run up! Great volley! Goal!!!"
"Although there is no wall in front of Gerrard, his shot is so powerful that it hits the dead corner of the goal!"
"2 to 0! The Veteran team took a two-goal lead!"
"Perfect first half!"
After scoring the goal, Gerrard stood where he was, and his teammates surrounded him and surrounded him.
Gerrard didn't go to the sidelines to hug Kim Taeg, he has a normal relationship with Kim Tag, just acquaintance.
He didn't go to celebrate with the fans either. After all, this is Old Trafford. It would be too awkward to go to the sidelines to celebrate goals with Manchester United fans.
But the fans in the stands didn't care, whether they were Liverpool fans or Manchester United fans, they all gave the warmest applause to England's legendary star. The audience applauded and cheered like a happy feast.
After scoring this goal, Irving's ankle felt a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he should end the game.
Kintag saw Owen walking off the court, and he understood.
"Michael, are you injured? Is it serious?" Jin Taige hurriedly called the team doctor to check Owen.
Owen waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just twisted. I'm old and can't kick anymore."
Even so, Kintag asked the team doctor to give Owen a careful examination to prevent accidents.
At this time, Ferdinand on the field shouted at Jin Taige: "Boss, I'll go up and play as a striker for a while."
The stadium roared with laughter.
Kintag waved his hand, and Ferdinand excitedly came to Sheringham's side: "Man, let's work together as a striker."
Sheringham was a little depressed: "Leo, you are by my side. I always feel that this is in front of our goal. When I receive the ball for a while, I may make a habitual clearance..."
"Then I don't care, anyway, I want to score! I want to abuse the defender!" Ferdinand looked at Maguire who was defending himself, "Boy, let me see how strong you are, and whether you have the ability to inherit my position in Manchester United! "
Irving is off and someone needs to come on. And Ferdinand went up front and now needs a centre-back.
Unexpectedly, Kintag did not arrange players from the bench, but went straight to the England national team bench next to him. He pointed to a person on the bench: "You come off the bench now and play as a central defender!"
"Okay!" The man tightened his shoelaces and ran to the field.
Morris seemed to have discovered a new continent. He laughed in the live broadcast room: "Let's see what happened just now? The head coach of the Veteran team, Jin Taige, came to the bench of the England team. He put... the England coach Southgate is on the pitch!"
"Oh my God, this is so interesting! After today, maybe Jin Taige has created an unprecedented record. A football coach sent another football coach to the field during the game! Hahahaha, it’s so amazing Interesting!"
Laman also didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Jin Taige is really... out of line."
"Haha, Raman, I think this is reasonable. Today is the game of the England veterans. These players are basically the main team of the 2002 World Cup, and Southgate also represented the England national team in the 2002 World Cup. , he played in the game, and he deserved it.”
After Kintiger on the sidelines let Southgate play, he patted England assistant coach Holland on the shoulder: "Now Southgate has been replaced, and then you will be appointed as the head coach of the England national team." , for one day, come on, buddy!"
Holland couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay..."
After Southgate debuted, he and Campbell formed a central defender partner.
Campbell didn't expect Southgate to play: "Man, what are you doing?"
Southgate smiled triumphantly: "Sol, you didn't expect me to play, did you? Today is the game of the England Veteran Team. I was also selected for the 23-man squad for the 2002 World Cup. It is only natural for me to come off the bench now. Well deserved. I'm an old man of England, after all."
"..." Campbell looked at the proud Southgate, and was speechless for a moment.
After this guy became the head coach, he seemed to be a little drifting.
Well, just let him play for a while.
At this point the game resumed and Southgate was in front of Vardy as he raced through the midfield at high speed.
Vardy was taken aback for a moment, and he hesitated: Do you want to pass the head coach of the national team?
It was in this dazed effort that Southgate stretched out his foot and broke his ball, and then drove out with his big foot.
After completing a good defense, Southgate was very happy. He looked at Vardy and thought: Let you guys see today, your head coach is not a vegetarian!
Vardy, who lost the ball, did not show disappointment, but seemed very dissatisfied. He looked at Southgate in front of him, and it took him a long time to spit out: "Coach, this is too awkward..."
Southgate's expression became serious: "Young man, although it's just an exhibition match, you must take it seriously. You just faced me and hesitated. It's not good quality of heart. You have to remember, no matter you Whoever is in front of us must strive for goals and win!"
"Okay, I understand!" Vardy said seriously.
Not only Vardy heard Southgate's words, but also the England offensive players next to him.
Sterling asked Kane: "Captain, didn't the coach tell us to release water properly before playing just now? Why does he ask us to strive for goals and wins now?"
Kane thought for a while: "The coach asked us to release water, hoping that we could give these veterans some face. After all, they have been away from the green field for some years. If we use our bodies to win them, it will make them lose face."
"That's not right, why did the coach come up by himself? Playing?" Sterling was very puzzled.
Vardy slapped his thigh: "I see! The coach wants to test us. He asked us to release water for the veterans, but he didn't ask us to release water for him! He is playing now, just to verify our training results for himself !"
Sterling's eyes lit up: "It makes sense! Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and score goals!"
Kane also agreed: "Okay, let's do it like this! By the way, when we attack for a while, we will break through to the coach's defensive side!"
"Okay, let's do it!"
