Nine Hundred and Fortieth, the Sorrow and Joy of Two Countries

940 The sorrow and joy of two countries

boom! !

A loud bang reached the ears of all the fans who were watching the game through the sound recorded by the camera! !

This is undoubtedly a powerful shot! !

Gerrard's feet are famous all over the world, he can blast such heavy artillery out! ! !

then!

The camera lens suddenly zoomed out! !

I only saw in the sky, a white soccer ball crossed a shooting star! !

Fixed on the spot!

Almost everyone is turning their heads!

That includes De Rossi! !

When Rooney has the ball, De Rossi intends to assist Marchisio in defense!

Although the current Rooney's physical function has declined, it has not dropped to the bad state after two or three seasons. Today's Lu Xiaopang is still a scorer who can score 20 goals in the Premier League. !

Such a striker is naturally the focus of Italian players to guard against.

And this time, Rooney sent a cross to the side without even looking at it!

When the kick came out, De Rossi froze for a moment.

The opponent played so resolutely, this is obviously a practiced routine!

And when he saw Gerrard take a shot, De Rossi's heart was already in his throat, he turned his head and saw Buffon's figure rising into the air!

However!

Right now!

Bonucci outstretched his head out of nowhere!

I have to say, Bonucci worked hard!

In the face of Gerrard's powerful shot, he dared to block it with his head.

Maybe in the league,

Bonucci wouldn't do that.

but!

This is the World Cup!

This is the highest palace that almost all football players dream of!

This is about the honor of the country and the nation!

When a sport rises to such a level, it's not just the player who is running on the field!

Each of them is watched by countless eyes with high hopes behind them!

Every one of them is fighting for their country!

in this case!

It's not surprising that Bonucci made an eye-catching move to sacrifice himself!

However!

The football that is spinning violently in the air is affected by the airflow up and down, and it is not a completely straight line!

If one could draw a line for a soccer ball running in the air, it would be found that the line is by no means straight!

The flow of air still has an impact on the football in the air!

But when the football shifted a little to the right, the football that was supposed to hit Bonucci's forehead was rubbed on the side of his head, resulting in a very slight line change!

And it is such a change of line that makes the goalkeeper's saves extremely difficult!

Buffon is undoubtedly a great goalkeeper.

He made the right call when Gerrard kicked and shot!

Buffon's height and wingspan are not particularly good among goalkeepers. He relies on a reasonable position, excellent saving skills, and a very keen awareness to stand in the position of the best goalkeeper in the world.

However, this time, even Buffon has no choice!

When the football changed slightly, Buffon worked hard on his waist so that he could stretch his hands longer!

However!

Everything is too late! !

After Gerrard finished his shot from outside the penalty area, his eyes never left the football!

When the football rubbed Bonucci's forehead, Gerrard had raised his hands and his face was full of ecstasy!

He suddenly remembered what Gao Bo had said to him before the game.

"Steven!! Remember what we're going to do in the first half? Shoot!! Shoot when you have a chance!! In this game, I'll give you the absolute right to fire!!"

Gerald still remembered that when Gao Bo said this sentence, a very determined smile appeared on his face!

The smile reassured Gerald.

Because, when Gao Bo said this sentence, Gerrard's heart was very moved, and his fighting spirit was even more high!

The so-called scholar died for the confidant!

In football, it is rare for a manager to give a midfielder absolute firing power.

Because, midfielders are obviously less likely to get the ball in the penalty area than strikers. ,

And if it is a long shot outside the penalty area, it can easily become a wave shot!

However!

Gao Bo's tactical arrangement seemed so crazy.

This made the players in England a little suspicious. If it weren't for Gerrard's great prestige in the team and Gao Bo's dazzling coaching performance, I'm afraid some players would come out and question it!

When preparing for this game, the team also took some time to practice movement in order to create space for Gerrard to shoot.

Obviously, it's easier to get Gerrard to shoot from outside the box than to create space for the striker to shoot from inside the box.

And now!

England's players did not expect!

Gao Bo's arrangement is actually so effective!

Gerrard's first shot from outside the box went in like this!

Although one might argue that long-range goals have an element of luck.

But who can refute such a goal!

When Gerrard raised his arms, the football had hit the net behind Buffon! !

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!"

"Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!!! Gerrard!!!!!!!"

"And a beautiful long shot!!! Violent shot, perfect goal!!"

"Gerrard!! Iconic cannonball!!! England captain opens the scoring for England!!!"

"1-0!!!! ENGLAND LEADING TO ITALY!!!! Gerrard scored their first goal of the World Cup for England! And a very nice long shot!!!"

On the commentary stand!

Except for the Italian one, almost all the commentators jumped up from their seats!

They shouted and applauded for such a wonderful goal! !

in the stands!

And they jumped up, the fans of England! !

In their opinion, Italy is the strongest opponent in this group!

Today, the team can take the lead in scoring against this opponent, which undoubtedly shows that Gao Bo's training of the team is extremely successful! !

Huge cheers swept the entire stadium!

on the TV screen!

The excitement of the fans in England and the frustration of the fans in Italy are in stark contrast!

at this moment!

All emotions erupted at this moment, bursting out the most enthusiastic light, shining on the stage of the World Cup!

From Brazil to Italy to England.

From the Apennine Peninsula to the banks of the Thames!

This one goal.

Throw a country into ecstasy.

Put a country into extreme depression.

This!

It's the World Cup! !
