Sterling originally thought he could get an assist, but unexpectedly it turned into planning an offensive.
Rooney regretted that Mao didn't follow him. He didn't know that if he was the one who followed, Lin Yun wouldn't be able to pass the ball at all.
Fortunately, Lin Yun did not forget Sterling's contribution. He stretched out his hand to signal him to come over and gave him a high slap, "Nice pass!"
Gerald watched all this with both joy and sadness.
On the sidelines, the substitution card was indeed raised.
Gerrard exits, Milner enters.
"England made their first substitution. Captain Gerrard came off and Milner came on."
"If nothing else, this should be Gerrard's final performance."
Even the players and fans of the German team applauded gently, and the warm applause resounded throughout the Maracanã Stadium.
Ram came over and shook hands with Gerrard. The two got together and chatted in a low voice for a few words. Then Gerrard walked towards Lin Yun, took off his captain's armband, and solemnly put it on for him.
"It's up to you from now on."
"Yes," Lin Yun nodded, "Don't worry."
"Of course I'm not worried about you," Gerald smiled, "Let's go."
Jay reached out and patted the captain's armband on his arm, then turned and walked to the sideline.
The legend ends.
"In the most important football match in the world, the England team completed the handover ceremony of two generations of captains. An era ended and another era began..."
"Gerrard can no longer keep up with such a high-intensity and fast-paced battle. Replacing Milner is indeed a better choice. You must know that the Manchester City midfielder can not only play multiple positions in the frontcourt, but he can even be used as a full-back. His running ability is unquestionable..."
Warmth is only temporary, and fighting is the main theme of this game.
The German team showed determination and courage to break the boat, and quickly turned this spiritual thing into effective combat effectiveness.
As if to prove his determination to fight against the odds, Loew even replaced Kramer.
Kramer's main task in this game was to defend Lin Yun, but whether in terms of process or results, he failed to cause any trouble for Lin Yun. It is really better to end the game early and get relief early.
"In the 60th minute of the game, the German team used their second substitution. Kramer came off and Gotze came on."
Remove one defensive midfielder and add an offensive frontcourt player.
Schürrle mentioned the forward position, and Gotze became the attacking midfielder!
As a result, although the defensive thickness of the German midfield has decreased, the running range between several forwards has become larger, and the cooperation between small areas has become more delicate.
At the beginning of the World Cup, the German team deployed a "false No. 9" on the striker, playing in a strikeless formation. It was not until Klose proved that he was still young that he gradually appeared as a single arrow. Now Schürrle is on the striker, and Germany A rare double-forward tactic was adopted, which showed that Lin Yun had been pushed to the edge of the cliff.
This change quickly caused the England team's defense to become turbulent.
In the 70th minute of the game, Gotze retreated to the center circle to receive the ball, quickly passed and cut with Bastian Schweinsteiger and Kroos in a small area, and pushed the ball into the England half.
The skillful cooperation between the three people can't help but think of Spain, even Spain at its peak.
And Milner, who just came on the field, was suddenly walked around like a helpless amateur player.
It's not that he doesn't want to chase, it's just that he can't keep up with the opponent's rhythm at all!
Seeing this scene, Alan Shearer started to criticize Hodgson's staff again.
"Milner only came on as a substitute for 20 minutes in this World Cup. He was completely out of shape and didn't know how to cooperate with his teammates!
We can understand Hodgson. When the team is leading, it is understandable to replace a veteran and send a midfielder with stronger interception ability, but why is it Milner? What about Henderson? Shouldn't he be the better choice? "
He just bullied Hodgson into not hearing him, otherwise Mr. Huo would have to slap him in the face with the sole of his shoe.
Damn it, you were the one who was right about replacing Milner just now, and now it’s you who’s making silly comparisons!
"... Kroos pulled to the right, and Gotze accurately passed the ball to his feet with a long pass.
Welbeck stepped forward to press, but was passed!
Kroos picks up the ball! "
Cross' pass fell right between Wilshere and Luke Shaw, and in front of Muller.
At the same time, Ram had already rushed forward and drifted towards the bottom line.
This is exactly one of the killer moves arranged by Loew: Muller, Gotze, Kroos and Lahm freely combine to form various inverted triangles, which can not only cut inside into the penalty area, but also pass down to find the player with the maximum header ability. Klose.
Huo Taigong is not really a tactical idiot, so the person he arranged to face Ram in this game was not Baynes, who had started every game before, but the faster and younger Luke Shaw, and he had two midfielders. The defender covers Jack Loze in the German team - first block the person who feeds the cake, and then block the mouth of the person who eats the cake.
Easier said than done.
When Lahm made a mad dash to the baseline, Luke Shaw had to follow, and Wilshere had no choice but to chase Muller on his own.
Muller used his heel to knock the ball back to Cross, and then cut towards the small penalty area.
Cross got an excellent cross opportunity at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the penalty area, and no one interfered within ten meters!
At this moment, almost everyone in England felt as if they were falling into an ice cellar.
During this period, Kroos was not yet regarded as a top midfielder. At least before this World Cup, he might not even be among the top ten midfielders in world football.
But this cup allowed the whole world to see the talent of this German guy.
Let him pass the ball comfortably in this place, with a killer like Klose and a genius like Muller lurking in front of the goal, and Schürrle and Gotze are actively following up behind, who knows what will happen. !
Kroos's foot was raised and the knife was dropped, and his ecstatic forty-five-angle cross was quite similar to the style of Bayern's arc. The football flew to the goal with an obvious adducting arc.
Muller, who was at the front, failed to catch up with the ball, but Klose, who was at the back, successfully touched the football under Cahill's pursuit.
Of course, it was impossible for Joe Hart to ignore Klose, a great figure like him, and he immediately rushed over to block it.
But the damn thing is, Klose didn't header the ball, but looked back at the moon and headed the ball across.
He pushed the football three meters in front of the center of the goal.
Gotze, who was in the back position, flew up and kicked directly amid Jagielka's exclamation!
There was a "bang" sound, the person arrived and the ball arrived.
Joe Hart quickly adjusted his steps and flew to block the block, but there was no time...
"... Kroos passed the ball, Klose headed back, Gotze flew and hit the goal! GOAL!!!!!! The German team tied the score!!! Loew's substitution was like a god, Did Gotze just come on? Helped the German team score a crucial equalizer in just a few minutes!!!"
"The Germans' cooperation is so clever. The England team members should really open their eyes and learn from their opponents!!! This is cooperation! This is football! This is team!!!"
"The Germans' cooperation is so clever. The England team members should really open their eyes and learn from their opponents!!! This is cooperation! This is football! This is team!!!"
Gotze did not celebrate after scoring, but rushed into the goal and took the football out. The Germans rushed to the midfield together, and kept waving to signal the England team to return to their positions quickly.
Everyone can see that the German team is gaining momentum.
In the world of football, things like spirit, momentum, and bloodiness are sometimes ridiculous, but sometimes they can be terrifying.
At this moment, not only at the tactical level, but also at the mental level, the England team was completely suppressed.
Lin Yun did not walk into the center circle as quickly as the Germans wanted, but he also did not yell at his teammates.
He just called the goalkeeper and several defenders together and solemnly warned: "Guys, yes, we have been tied again, but what we have to do now is not to hold anyone accountable, let alone blame ourselves and feel sad, but Calm down, learn your lesson, and play the rest of the game seriously! Tell me, can you do it?"
"able!"
"Don't worry, Lin, leave it to us later!"
"There won't be a second time!"
Seeing their vows, Lin Yun could only temporarily believe in their evil intentions.
The game continues.
The German team was unyielding and continued to put pressure on the England team.
Lin Yun knew that he could no longer be beaten passively, so he actively asked for the ball in the midfield, and then tried to organize an effective attack.
However... Sterling and Welbeck once again proved that they are indeed useless!
He is also a happy boy, but Muller on the opposite side brings happiness that makes everyone happy, while Sterling brings happiness to his opponents.
As for Welbeck, under such heavy pressure, his so-called talent and spirituality have gone to hell, and his true colors have been revealed.
Only Wilshere in the rear and Rooney in the front could provide sporadic help to Lin Yun. It was mainly up to Lin Yun to ride alone.
Under his full strength, the German team's offensive was temporarily depressed for a while, but in the end it was difficult to fight alone, and the game soon entered the rhythm of the German team.
In the 78th minute, Ram once again rushed to the frontcourt and dribbled the ball from the wing.
Sterling, who was intercepting the ball head-on, had his eyes narrowed. He felt a strong wind blowing in his face while running. He was about to tackle the ball head-on when Kroos suddenly rushed over from the side and helped Ram complete a pick-and-roll.
Sterling clapped his hands quickly, pushed Cross aside, and continued to chase Lahm.
Ram didn't seem to notice it, but when he got close, he suddenly made a reverse dunk!
Sterling was completely unprepared and was passed cleanly.
After Ram got rid of him, he did not continue to dribble. Instead, he poked the toe of his right foot and gave the ball to Cross. He quickly cut into the England penalty area and passed Wilshere silently with experience. A hand came suddenly and rushed towards the goal.
Cross understood the idea and passed the ball with an overhead kick!
Ram had already stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank, and a huge amount of energy burst out from his small body.
Lineker and Alan Shearer were already at a loss.
"...Germany's attack from the right! Lahm broke through Sterling and passed the ball to Kroos. Luke Shaw stepped forward to block it but failed!!
Lahm received an overhead pass from Kroos in the penalty area! "
Cahill pointed at Klose, signaling Jagielka to keep an eye on the opponent, and he rushed towards the rapidly falling football.
He had just started to speed, but Ram had already reached the peak of his speed. What was even more frightening was that the ball landed even closer to Ram!
Cahill has given up competing with Ram for speed and has made what he thinks is the right choice.
Fall to the ground, slide tackle, use your body to block the ball, or use a red dot package to help Joe Hart get a chance.
Ram himself is a top defender and instantly understood Cahill's thoughts, so he did not let Cahill get his wish.
When the football fell, Lahm lightly touched the ball and let the football fly past Cahill. At the same time, he quickly dodged and got out of the way of Cahill's friendly foot.
Joe Hart abandoned the goal and rushed towards the football wildly.
Ram quickly stepped forward, lightly tapped the outside instep of his right foot, and the football passed by Hart and flew to the back of the goal.
Klose and Jagielka rushed forward together.
One wanted to hit the goal and the other wanted to intercept, but neither of them could touch the football.
The "bang" sound, the English thought at first was the sound of nature, but soon discovered that it was actually the sound of mourning.
The ball did hit the goalpost as they hoped, but on the inside.
"GOAL!!! Lahm tipped the ball over Cahill and hit the inside of the post with a shot that bounced into the net, 2-3!!! The German team took the lead!!!"
"It's crazy! The German team chased two goals in ten minutes! Who would have thought? Who could do it?!"
Accompanied by sounds of German, crazy cheers and piercing screams surged from all sides of the stadium.
England fans were speechless for a time.
It is conceivable that not only in this stadium, but also outside the stadium, in Germany, in Munich, in countless streets and alleys, there must be countless people singing their German song.
On the other hand, in England, fans began to worry about gains and losses, as if they had lost their souls.
"Not only on the field, but also the German fans off the field outnumbered the English fans! The atmosphere felt like it was going to explode!"
"Great team! When everyone sentenced them to death, the German team did not give up! The coach did not give up! The players did not give up! The fans did not give up either!"
England were obviously blindsided.
Cahill and Joe Hart looked blank.
"Even if injury time is included, the time left for England is only about fifteen minutes at most! A lot can happen in fifteen minutes, but the premise is that the England team must make changes!!!
If this continues, thank God if they can no longer concede goals, let alone tie the score and reverse the game..."
The camera was focused on Lin Yun.
Compared with other England players who looked frustrated or angry, his expression was extremely calm, but his eyes were colder than ever.
"The England team is forced into a desperate situation! Who can you think of at this time, and who can you count on!!!
Of course it’s just him!
World Cup single-scoring record holder! England's new captain, new leader, savior!
All hopes are on Lin Yun, can he still create miracles..."
It’s really disgusting to lose after everything is written like this (ーー゛) Just tell me how to play...
