Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 445

England, London, Sky Sports TV studio.

The gentle, white-haired Gary Lineker wearing square-framed glasses is debugging the equipment.

The pillar of Sky Sports today was the best scorer in the history of England's men's football when he was a player.

In the two World Cups in 1986 and 1990, Gary Lineker scored a total of 10 goals, winning the Golden Boot and Bronze Boot awards respectively.

Known as the "British shooting machine".

In today's European qualifier, which is crucial for England's men's football team, Gary Lineker is the commentator of this game.

"Ahem!"

"Sky Sports!"

"Sky Sports!"

"Good evening, England fans in front of the TV!"

"Welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 2008 European Cup qualifiers, Group E, England vs. Croatia!"

"I am your old friend Lineker!"

"The game is about to start!"

"First, let me introduce you to the starting lineups of both teams!"

"The home team, the red and white checkered jersey, won the World Cup this year and created a dark horse legend Croatia!"

"Starting goalkeeper: Pledikosa!"

"Defenders: Robert, Josip, Igor, Srna!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Marko, Nick!"

"Left and right midfielders: Modric, Jurica!"

"Double forwards: Su Fei, Mandzukic!"

"Unexpectedly, Croatia, which won the World Cup with a 451 formation, actually played a 442 formation today!"

"The Croatian teenager Mandzukic and the familiar Manchester City star Su, who is a partner Double forward! "" ... "" Passenger team, white jersey, our Three Lions, England! "" Paul Robinson! " : Wayne Rus "" Fans, friends, I can't believe my eyes. Our dear Beckham has appeared in the launch of the starting big list today! " The former national team captain of his youth appears on the green field! "" This will undoubtedly add great attention to today's game! "" Beep! " 】

-【OMG! I thought I would never see Beckham play for the national team. 】

-【Come on, come on! Come on England! Although I am a fan of the devil Su, today, we must support our own men's football team! 】

-【I just want to say, be gentle, Su God...】

-【What about the World Cup champion? The winner today is the World Cup champion! We are the No. 1 in the world of English football! 】

At this time, countless fans of the Three Lions are sitting in front of the TV to watch the game in bars, homes, shopping malls, schools, hospitals...

..............................................................

At this time, the scene, Maksimir Stadium.

In the devilish home atmosphere of Croatian fans booing, the England men's football team, as the visiting team, ushered in their first attack.

Wayne Rooney kicked the ball to Lampard behind him for organization.

Lampard passed the ball to Gerrard on the right.

During the World Cup, the two Des had played as central midfielders at the same time because of their similar positions and abilities.

But later, the actual performance on the field proved that the effect of the double Gerrard and the double central midfielder was not ideal.

Therefore.

In this game, McLaren also arranged Gerrard on the left.

When Gerrard received the pass.

He was immediately pressed forward by Modric.

Gerrard did not rush to try to break through.

In the three matches between Manchester City and Liverpool last season, the Red Army captain Gerrard has recognized Modric's excellent defensive ability.

Although Modric is weak in confrontation.

But his speed and reaction are very fast, and he can often suddenly kick out to destroy under pressure, which is hard to defend.

"Gerrard takes the ball on the wing!"

"Wait for teammates to open the offensive formation!”

“Gerrard!”

“Lampard passed the ball diagonally in the middle!”

“Lampard!”

“Passed the ball horizontally without stopping, and passed it to Beckham on the right!”

“A beautiful transfer from the men’s midfield!”

“Beckham!”

“Looks like he’s in good shape!”

“He brought the ball to the front court!”

When the ball came to the feet of the blond David Beckham, 5,000 Three Lions fans who were traveling with the team shouted in unison.

“Beckham!!”

“Beckham!!”

“Beckham!!” ”

This is Beckham’s popularity in England!

On the court.

David Beckham, who had the ball, was also very excited. The familiar cheers from the fans ignited the adrenaline in his body.

Beckham took a big step and kept accelerating!

On the other side.

Croatia’s captain Nick Kovac, who partnered with Marko as a defensive midfielder in this game, took the initiative to attack.

Leaned over, fell to the ground, stretched his legs, and slid.

“Bang!”

The cheers from the English fans came to an abrupt end, because Beckham was knocked to the ground by Nick Kovac and took the ball.

“What a pity! !”

“Beckham lost the ball!”

“Kovac’s tackle was beautiful!”

“Successfully blocked Beckham’s explosive move on the wing!”

“Kovac!”

“A straight pass to Jurica!”

“Counterattack!”

“Jurica pushed forward Croatia’s counterattack on the right side! "

The situation on the field suddenly changed.

Croatia turned from defense to offense, and all the English players turned and ran.

Beckham, who got up, also participated in England's defense.

He gritted his teeth and closed the distance between him and Jurica.

But before he got close.

Jurica was on the right side, close to the parallel line of the top of the penalty area, and decisively kicked the ball high and sent the ball to the middle.

That position!

Mandzukic, after pushing Igor away, headed for the top!

But the ball!

It flew over from a height slightly higher than Mandzukic's head.

The Croatian young air tyrant made a mistake in judging the landing point of this high ball.

The English fans were worried.

I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief.

In front of the goal.

But suddenly there was a burst of explosion that they were all too familiar with.

"Bang!!!" "

The football crossed the goal line of England with a half-high heavy artillery, while Paul Robinson, the main goalkeeper of Tottenham, was stunned.

Sky Sports live broadcast room.

Gary Linekerton was stunned for several seconds before he spoke with a complicated expression and a dry voice.

"Goal?"

"Goal!"

"Goal..."

"Less than 2 minutes into the game!"

"The Croatian men's football team successfully opened the door of the England men's football team."

"Oops!"

"Just now there was chaos in the penalty area, and the live broadcast view was blocked, so it was difficult for us to see what happened clearly."

"Replay!"

"Director, please switch to replay!"
