Chapter 82: Fighting to the Last Moment

Beep beep beep! ! ! instruct

Three whistles sound, and the regular 90-minute game ends, but it does not mean that the game is over.

In the 90-minute regular time, England 1:1 China. If the two sides draw, based on the rules of the World Cup, the two teams will enter a 30-minute overtime.

This situation surprised everyone.

After all, in this game, for many people, it is almost one-sided that England will win easily.

But after 90 minutes of the game, the Chinese team was stunned to drag the game into overtime. This was definitely something unexpected.

For fans from both sides, the feelings at this time are also presented in two completely different ways.

England fans were very upset. They didn't play particularly badly, but they failed to win the game. instruct

For Chinese fans, being able to drag England into overtime is already very remarkable.

However, the morale of fans from both sides is still extremely strong.

As players from both sides came off the field, their cheers filled the stadium like a tsunami.

The camera is focused on the Chinese players.

In any case, as a weak team, the Chinese team has created an amazing record.

In this World Cup, the Chinese team is definitely the darkest dark horse.

The degree of surprise is even more powerful than what Russia has to offer. instruct

After all, Russia is in a higher ranking in the European League, while the Chinese team is known as a football desert. Except for a few players like Luc Kai, Chen Man, and Liu Kairui who support the scene, the rest are extremely unfamiliar to the fans.

And to have reached the quarter-finals was amazing in itself, but to now take England into extra time in the quarter-finals is even more shocking.

In the footage, the Chinese players are all sweating profusely.

Beads of sweat slid down his forehead, forehead, and chin.

Their hair and jerseys were soaked, and they were all exhausted.

They went straight to the shaded area in front of the coaching bench and lay down directly on the lawn.

They were lying on the ground one by one, their chests rising and falling violently like blowers. instruct

Among them, Chen Man's symptoms were extremely serious. Not only was he sweating, but his entire skin was red.

The weather itself was a bit sultry, coupled with the stimulation of high-intensity competition and the rapid loss of water and physical fitness, Chen Man really almost reached his limit.

The most important thing is that he can't leave the game yet.

Chen Man was lying on the ground with an ice pack on his forehead.

Lucky walked to sit next to him and asked, "Can you still hold on?"

Chen Man didn't speak, his chest still rose and fell rapidly, he just stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up.

Lucky smiled: "Have you cooled down like this?"

Chen Man didn't speak.

Lucky stood up and walked to Zhang Chen, took out four or five ice packs from the ice bucket, then walked to Chen Man, opened his trouser pockets, and stuffed them in one after another.

A chill rushed to his forehead, Chen Man's whole body arched up, and he took a breath of cold air.

hiss! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

"How do you feel now?" Lucky continued to ask; "Would you like to add a few more?"

Chen Man immediately waved his hand and said intermittently, "Add a few more, and you can send me away."

Le Kai nodded; "Get some rest."

Chen Man fell to the ground and began to recover his physical strength.

Lucai looked around and saw that other teammates were in the same situation, which showed how exhausted they were after 90 minutes.

Lucky himself was extremely tired, but he could bear it.

On the one hand, physical fitness is better and recovery speed is faster.

Lucky on the other hand is more tolerant.

Lippi looked at the fallen team members around him and frowned.

Looking at these young men who had already worked hard to drag the game into overtime, he really couldn't make any more rude demands. instruct

The fact that this game has reached this moment has created a miracle for the Chinese team.

"There are still 30 minutes left, and we still have a place for substitutions. Does anyone want to make a substitution?"

Under Lippi's voice, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

None of the Chinese players spoke.

Want to change?

Want to change!

I really want to change it! instruct

Now they wish they could just lie down like this until the end of time.

The body has already experienced severe discomfort, including dehydration, fatigue, chest pain, and even respiratory tract aches.

These are telling them that their bodies have reached their limits.

But this game may be their last game.

For these guys, they want to fight until the end.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lucai said; "Sir, use the substitution quota where needed, and they can still persist!"

Lucky's words represent the thoughts of the other team members. instruct

After these words, the atmosphere became normal.

The substitutes looked at the players one by one with envy in their eyes.

Although they all looked extremely embarrassed, they had just experienced a tough battle.

It can be said that these people are heroes who made history!

Lippi nodded and said, "Then the overtime tactics will remain the same as before, with defense as the main focus and more running in the frontcourt."

After saying that, Lippi looked at Mutali and Queeni and said, "You guys run more!"

The two of them also nodded fiercely. instruct

They knew that Chen Man was already under too much pressure, and they needed to make up for it at this time.

"have a rest!"

Lippi didn't say much, not even a word of encouragement.

He knew that the current state and morale were just right.

He didn't want to destroy this atmosphere in order to show himself.

The players seemed tired at this time, but their state and concentration were in a tense situation, and they could not afford to relax at all.

About two minutes later, the players began to get up one after another.

The rest time was only five minutes, and they had been lying for four minutes.

The next minute needed to slowly get the body moving.

They got up one by one with difficulty.

Compared to lying down, getting up was more tiring.

Looking at the other side, the English players frowned one by one. Although they looked very tired, they were not as extreme as the Chinese team.

It can also be seen from this that there is a gap between the two sides.

Five minutes of rest time passed.

The referee blew the whistle.

Players from both sides got up and walked into the stadium to greet what might be their last 30 minutes.

Win?

Okay!

This is a very wonderful word.

But at this moment, they really didn't know how to win.

After all, at this time, they didn't even have the strength to sprint.

"The boys are in a bad state. After the regular 90 minutes of fierce battle, their bodies have reached their limits. The three substitutions are completely unable to deal with the fatigue of the Chinese team, even if there is one substitution in overtime!"

"Chen Man's whole face turned red. He really fought too hard in this game. Every sprint was full of effort. Chen Man's running on the right wing blocked Kyle Walker for the entire 90 minutes, allowing Quini and Mutari to target the opponent's heavy central defender!"

He Wei's tone was somewhat helpless.

Zhang Lu also nodded; "Lekai is also very tired. Lekai's running distance in this game is definitely the most, but as the captain, he did not show it, but we rarely see Lekai's running posture affected, or even deformed, and now this situation is getting worse."

"It can be said that overtime is a test for us as a whole, the biggest test."

After the rest time, the body is even more tired.

This inch of muscle seemed to be wailing, and the head was dizzy. Under the sunlight, some of them could not open their eyes.

But the boys still held on, after all, they still had 30 minutes to fight.

With the referee's whistle, the overtime officially began.

After the game started, the Chinese team sent the ball to Chen Man's feet. After Chen Man ran along the side, he cut inside to complete the shot attempt.

However, the ball was firmly held by the English goalkeeper and failed to cause any threat.

This shot didn't even have an angle to speak of, it was just going towards the person.

After this shot, the Chinese team retreated again and began to set up an iron bucket formation.

For them, defense is still the key.

Looking for opportunities in defense.

But England would never give them a chance.

After adjustments, England integrated and switched the ground penetration and long pass, changing the rhythm to try to tear the Chinese team's defense line.

In this state, the Chinese team's defense line became increasingly weak and could be in danger of scoring at any time.
