Chapter 478: First Place in the Finals

"Oh-My-God!"

British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray exclaimed: "Nestor Pinata awarded the penalty kick to the French team! If the penalty is insisted on through VAR replay, the French team will receive penalty kicks in two consecutive games!"

The on-site director gave a slow-motion replay. Fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly see Maguire making a clear pulling action behind him. Perhaps Giroud's action was exaggerated, but it is undeniable that Maguire does have some skills. Foul action.

Referee Piñata made the decision resolutely, but he did not dare to say anything in the World Cup finals. Under the pressure of the England players and head coach, he ran to the sidelines and watched the VAR video replay.

Giroud's fall was indeed a bit exaggerated, but Maguire's movements were enough to cause Giroud to become uncoordinated, so the piñata turned to face the court, his hands formed a rectangle in the void, and his whistle finger pointed at the England penalty area. direction.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "Penalty kick! Penalty kick! Pinata awarded a penalty kick to the French team! If the French team's penalty kick can reduce the score, then the suspense of this game will be great. increase!"

Griezmann stood at the penalty spot holding the football. He had already scored a key penalty four days ago at the Zenit Arena, so he was full of confidence.

The French fans in the audience held their breath, and many devout Catholics closed their eyes and prayed to God at critical moments.

"wuwuuwuwuuuuuuuu——"

Naturally, the English fans would not give Griezmann a relaxed environment to take the penalty kick. They booed loudly like a tsunami, hoping to affect Griezmann, who had a bad mentality in the competition.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said solemnly: "Antoine Griezmann has missed penalty kicks in many key games, but all two penalty kicks in this World Cup were successful, which is related to the French team's ability to maintain their hope of winning the championship. Will he hit the penalty?"

Five seconds later, Griezmann took a penalty kick under the boos of the audience. England goalkeeper Pickford chose to remain unchanged in response to changes. As a result, Griezmann hit the lower right corner.

"Goooooooooooooooooal——"

Marcel Leif, the commentator of German Sky TV, stretched out his voice and shouted with excitement: "Antoine Griezmann helped the French team reduce the score! 1:2! There are forty minutes left in the game, leaving it to the French team There is still plenty of time! Who will have the last laugh, with the score leading, or France with great momentum?”

Griezmann, who scored the goal, did not celebrate the goal. He rushed into the door, picked up the football, and called on his teammates to run towards his own half, obviously wanting to seize the time to equalize the score.

Griezmann glanced at Li Qing disapprovingly, his eyes arrogant.

If only Griezmann can be forgiven for being like this, after all, he reduced the score, but Pogba, Mbappe, Kante and others can't be justified. He whispered coldly: "You guys, give it to me." I'm waiting! Isn't it just to narrow the score? I'll expand it for you!"

"aoaooaoaooooooo——"

The French fans at the Luzhniki Stadium were all in high spirits, and they burst into loud cheers, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, deafening.

The game restarted. England, which had the advantage of possession, under the deliberate control of Li Qing, the players did not rush to Lloris to guard the goal and brought the most direct threat. Instead, they organized the attack forward through layers of advancement.

Kanter, who had been following Li Qing all the time, looked at the strong figure and running without hesitation, and muttered in his heart: "It's really just an act!"

The football came to the center from the left wing of the England attack. Li Qing reached out for the ball. Henderson passed the ball without hesitation. Kanter stood up nervously and pressed forward. Unexpectedly, Li Qing had no intention of taking the ball and raised it. He gave the ball away with his left foot, and the football rolled close to the ground towards Harry Kane who was pulling away.

Harry Kane did not take advantage of the ball. He raised his right foot and slammed the football back from Li Qing with his heel, which gave Li Qing a path to accelerate forward.

Li Qing suddenly accelerated, and Kanter had a strong sense of defense. He stretched out his leg and tripped. Li Qing's advantages of quick reaction and strong explosive power were fully demonstrated at this moment. Kanter's extended right foot only slightly kicked Li Qing's heel. The outside is not completely strong, so you can stabilize your body shape with your super balance ability.

The referee Pinata held the whistle but did not blow it. Li Qing staggered and passed the ball before Matuidi could make up the defense.

The football rolled close to the ground from the right flank of the England attack to the right flank, passing through the defensive half between the French left center back Umtiti and the left back Lucas Hernandez, towards Lucas El Nandez left with nothing behind him.

The on-site director quickly followed up, and Arnold, England's right wing, came in at high speed, exactly in line with Li Qing's left-foot pass.

"aooaoaooaoooooooo——"

The England fans in the audience instantly became excited and burst into loud and violent cheers like a tsunami.

Harry Kane went straight into the ribs, which was the defensive gap between Umtiti and Lucas Hernandez. Kanter was far away from Li Qing and chose to follow Harry Kane to cooperate with Umtiti. Mtiti prevents Trent Alexander-Arnold from passing to Harry Kane.

Arnold stopped the football forward with the inside of the instep of his right foot, looked up at the penalty area, took a step forward with his left foot, stood about 25 centimeters to the left of the football, and hit the football with the inside of the instep of his right foot.

Lucas Hernandez was half a beat late in blocking the ball, and the flying ball drew a rainbow in the air. Seeing that the ball was fast and sharp, and also accompanied by a clear arc, goalkeeper Lloris gave up and attacked.

Varane judged the landing point of the ball while moving, and was about to jump up and head the ball away, when he suddenly heard the captain Lloris screaming hysterically: "Rafael, be careful!"

"woowowowoowoowooooooooo——"

At the same time, Varane heard a cry of surprise in his ear.

A red figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and the height of the jump continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Arabic number [10] on the back was particularly clear, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

When did he come to the penalty area?

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, suddenly raised his voice by eight octaves: "Li Qing——"

The fans at the scene clearly saw Li Qing jump high at the penalty spot, with his arms naturally open, maintaining his body balance, twisting his waist and shaking his abdomen, flashing in front of Varane and pushing the football that fell to his forehead to the upper left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Lloris stood still. His years of experience in the game made him realize that even if his body moved, it would not move. So he did not make any saves and watched the football rub the inner edge of the left goal post and hit the snow-white net...

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal——"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shouted almost madly: "Antoine Griezmann narrowed the gap, and Li scored a wonderful header to return the favor! Helped England to expand the score again, 3:1!"

"Terminator——"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif stretched out his voice: "——Li!"

"The ball went in! The ball went in!"

Tianchao Channel 5 commentator He Wei was ecstatic: "Li Qing used a header, which he is not good at, to help England expand the score again! This is his third goal in the World Cup final! Hat trick! The first person to perform a hat trick in the regular time of 90 minutes in the World Cup final!"
