Chapter 329 The Birth of the Legend

The second goal was undoubtedly a serious blow to the confidence of the German team.

The game has been played for seventy minutes, and they have worked hard and performed quite well. However, except for the free kick just now, they have not been able to create any good scoring opportunities. Before England scored the second goal, they can also tell themselves that "we only need to seize one opportunity." However, after England's second goal appeared, this hope was shattered.

They failed to create any good opportunities in seventy minutes, but now, there are only twenty minutes left for them, and the balls they want to get back have become two.

However, Woller had no intention of giving up. After losing the second goal, he changed two consecutive players while the English players were still celebrating. Bielhof replaced midfielder Bode, and Asamoa replaced Jerry Mess. Both of them were offensive players. Veteran Bielhof created the feat of scoring two goals on the bench six years ago. Woller was also a desperate bet.

Erikson replaced Joe Cole with Hargreaves to increase his defensive ability in the midfield. This substitution is nothing strange, but Erikson doesn't need to use any sudden substitutions - just need to firmly defend the current situation, and victory belongs to England!

After Joe Kerr left the court, Tiger's position began to retreat a little, but he did not give up looking for opportunities to continue scoring. As a midfielder with excellent attacking ability, he has not failed to score in his career. However, he has played a hat trick in the World Cup final, a record that only one person has made in the entire football history. Even Tiger himself seemed extremely moved!

Now in this situation, England's World Cup championship has basically been won, and Tiger's ultimate mission is about to be completed. At this time, Tiger is thinking about pushing his achievements to the highest peak!

People are selfish, not to mention that Tiger is not selfish - the current German national team is on the verge of collapse. If there is a third ball, then no matter how determined Germany is, it will no longer have any fighting spirit.

Now Germany has basically given up on defense and pushed the entire line. Tiger knows that he will definitely have a chance, just to see when this opportunity will appear. Although he has retreated a little, he is not particularly far from the opponent's goal, not to mention that his physical fitness has not declined now, and he will have to go on a few more long-distance raids...

The German national team, which was desperate, got two consecutive shots. In the 82nd minute, Link took a long shot at the front of the penalty area, and the ball flew out of Ferdinand's face. Ferdinand quickly returned to the court after he left the field for treatment. One minute later, Schneider made a cross from the bottom, Bierhoff received the ball in the penalty area and turned around and shot halfway. Shiman made a wonderful save and flew to block the ball out of the baseline.

These two shots made Germany start to push up and down more. There is not much time left before the end of the game. Even if you press the attack regardless of defense, as long as you can score a goal, it can bring a glimmer of hope!

Erikson made a second substitution at this time. Sheringham came on the court and replaced Irving - adding a fulcrum to the frontcourt. He didn't know that Tiger was still thinking about scoring the third goal, but at this time, Erikson wanted to launch a better counterattack and reduce the pressure on the defense line.

The eighty-fifth minute.

Hargreaves interrupted Schneider's pass in the midfield and quickly passed the ball to Gerald beside him. Gerald, who had been concentrating on defending in the backcourt in this game, looked up at the frontcourt, but did not pass the ball, but unexpectedly drove the ball and rushed towards the frontcourt!

Gerald's forward breakthrough this time exceeded the expectations of German midfielders. First, they were not prepared, and second, they were pressing very hard, and the defensive power in the middle was basically defending Tiger. No one came up to defend Gerald for a while!

Gerald rushed through the midfield with two long legs. Seeing that no one came up to defend himself, he might as well take it all the way!

However, Gerald was not stupid enough to drive the ball towards the middle, where the opponent was most crowded. His skills in dribbling were not bad, but he did not have any small-scale ball control skills. His skills were more rough and atmospheric than small and fine.

He changed his direction of progress and rushed from the right side with a dip. This was even more unexpected to German players. Gerald rushed to a place that was almost parallel to the penalty area line before someone came up to defend him.

At this time, two England strikers had already run into place. Tiger was involved at the back point, and veteran Sheringham, who was a little slower, followed from the middle. Gerald spiked a ball, stopped his forward speed, and then passed the ball to the front of the penalty area with a cross!

This pass was obviously passed to Sheringham - the veteran rushed up from the back row and could complete a long shot with a cross from Gerald - the direct shot at this location is also quite threatening, so Link, who returned to the defense, came up and blocked Sheringham, trying to interfere with the opponent's shot.

Sheringham swung his right foot, and when everyone's attention began to focus on him, the "forward who is the best at playing football with his brain in the Premier League" suddenly completed a missed ball that was a masterpiece!

Once his legs crossed, he failed to complete the shot, but instead leaked the ball between his legs!

Tiger, who followed up at the back point, was surprised to see the ball rolling over - but he himself was also a player who often made amazing moves on the court, so he immediately understood what Sheringham meant, ran a step towards the ball that Sheringham missed, and then went sideways and shot from the top of the penalty area with his right foot!

This is a long shot from the inside of the right foot - it is extremely powerful, and at the same time the ball itself rotates strongly. When it flies into the penalty area, it heads towards the middle. However, after half of the flight, it begins to bring out a clear arc in the air, flying down to the left, and heads straight to the lower left corner of the goal!

Originally, Kahn's attention was attracted by Sheringham. Although he turned around in time to make a save, the rotation of the ball still exceeded the limit after his arm was stretched. He flew over with his fingers, and then flew into the goal against the left post!

The whole audience was quiet!

After seeing the ball fly into the goal, Tiger finally couldn't help but feel excited. He jumped up, then waved his fist hard, and let out a roar that resounded throughout the audience!

With his roar, the stands were like a firecracker was thrown away, and an extremely noisy sound was rolled up!

The awakened commentators began to shout - no matter who was, when they saw a brand new record born in front of them, they would feel overwhelmed...

"Three...three to zero! Hat trick! Tiger completed a hat trick! The first person in World Cup history! Although Hurst had a hat trick in the World Cup final before, it was only completed in overtime! The first person who completed a hat trick in regular time, Tiger Lee! Unprecedented, perhaps the last one! At the same time, this goal also allowed him to tie Ronaldo and tied with Ronaldo as the number one scorer in this World Cup! And judging from his performance, the selection of the best player in the World Cup will not be lost! The best player in the World Cup plus the best scorer plus the hat trick in the final! The twenty-seven-year-old Tiger Lee created his own unprecedented myth!"

"The third king of football has been born! The first person in English football history! His own World Cup plus the best scorer in the World Cup and so many honors he has won in the club! What's more, his unparalleled role among these honors! The top player at the beginning of the 21st century, his light overwhelms everyone! Let us congratulate Tiger Lee, and congratulate the English national team!"

Tiger in the stadium was incomparable pride in his heart at this moment!

Even though this World Cup is a World Cup where strong teams have lost their way, Tiger's hat trick in the final has undoubtedly made his performance full of value!

I did it! Hat trick within ninety minutes of the World Cup final - the first in history!

England's celebration lasted for three or four minutes before gradually dissipating. Corina did not come out to stop such a obviously wasted behavior, but just looked at the English players in the celebration with a smile. He knew what kind of historical moment this was. The first time may be the only time to enforce the World Cup finals to catch up with this historic moment. Corina's heart was also full of pride and pride - not to mention that England is now leading three goals, and Germany is really unlikely to create any miracles...

The German players had no objection, they also knew that there would be no miracle. Besides, even if they lost the World Cup final, they would have lost with such a record, and at least they would have lost it. It was different from thirty-six years ago, and there was no controversy over goal-line goals...

When England's crazy celebration ended, Erikson used the third substitution - Fowler replaced Tiger. The purpose of this substitution was obvious, allowing the newly crowned King of Football to accept the cheers of the fans alone!

Tiger walked down from the center circle with his arms raised. After hugging Fowler for a while, he did not return to the bench directly, but stood on the sidelines, raised his hands to applaud the surroundings, and what greeted him was cheering like a tsunami!

Even German fans had to stand up and applaud Tiger - losing to such a person is not embarrassing...

"We are very lucky to see the birth of this legend... Two goals in the group stage, one goal in the quarterfinals, two goals in the semi-finals, hat tricks in the finals... Tiger played better and better in this World Cup, and his light overshadowed the heroes in the history of the World Cup! It's strange that he failed to participate in the World Cup four years ago... But Tiger is truly known and only started to join Manchester United after the World Cup four years ago. In just four years, he won honors that countless stars could not get, an unprecedented miracle!"

It was not until the greeting was almost done that Tiger returned to his seat and sat down. Eriksen hugged him tightly: "Tiger, do beautifully! I am really proud of you... Take a break and we will pick up the World Cup later!"

At this time, Tiger's mood had almost calmed down. He nodded, then sat down and started to rest.

This is the first time he has truly relaxed in this month, and from this day on, he will also be completely free.

***************************************************

The English fans in the stands did not wait long. After the five-minute stoppage time arrived, Corina looked at the watch and then blew the whistle to the end of the game with force - this is also a signal of the end of the World Cup!

As the whistle sounded, countless English fans began to cheer loudly, and the players on the bench also rushed to the stadium and began to celebrate with all their heart!

Tiger was also in the celebration crowd, hugging his teammates one by one. The English players thanked him, and he also thanked these teammates - he was the best performer, but he was definitely not the only one who performed well...

"Teddy, thank you for your leak!" Tiger said loudly, hugging Sheringham's neck.

"Haha, you have to score the ball, otherwise it will be just a backfire mistake!" Sheringham laughed. Although Sheringham was squeezed out of the position by Tiger when he was at Manchester United before, the old Sheringham doesn't care about this. At the same time, being able to win the World Cup championship at the end of his national team's career is enough to make Sheringham grateful to Tiger!

Then he hugged Beckham, who joked: "You have really done it. It seems that I will give you the captain's armband now!"

"Don't say that, David, I'm not a captain... I have to thank you. I'll give that free kick to me, otherwise I won't have a hat trick..." Tiger replied with a smile.

Then I was hugging Irving. Irving felt a little uncomfortable. He was the team's number one scorer. As a result, he scored three goals so far. Although these three goals happened in the knockout stage, they can be regarded as wonderful and important. However, compared with the hat trick in the final, it is a little dim...

"Happy, Michael... don't forget, we are already the World Cup champion!" Tiger slapped Irving's shoulder and said with a big laugh.

Seeing Tiger running towards the next teammate, Owen laughed silently - this guy who was a few years older than him seemed to have always been so optimistic, maybe he should learn more...

Joe Cole looked at Tiger with admiration. Although he seemed to play in the top league earlier than Tiger, he has been hailed as the next Tiger for the past two years - before he knew it, Tiger has become his idol.

"Tiger, your skills are really great. I must come on and catch up with you!" Joe Cole said firmly to Tiger.

Tiger was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Joe, technology is important, but technology is not enough to succeed. Confrontation is equally important. More importantly, learn to use your brain on the court." After patting Joe Cole's shoulder, Tiger said with a smile.

"The World Cup is about to come to an end... The subversive World Cup has witnessed the birth of a legend! England became the first European team to win the World Cup outside Europe. Tiger and Ronaldo broke the six-ball curse at the same time. Tiger became the first player in history to perform a hat trick in the regular time of the 90 minutes of the final... This drama will come to an end. What we are waiting for now is the moment when the champion holds the World Cup!"

With the voice of the commentator, the camera was aimed at British Prime Minister Blair in the stands. The leader of the Labor Party who had been in office for five years and the British Prime Minister were hugging the people around him, clapping excitedly. Blair was also a football fan. He had promised that if the English national team could reach the World Cup final, he would watch the game on the spot. When England entered the World Cup final, he was a little nervous because if England lost the final, no one would blame him, saying that he had only lost when England came to the game... And now, this confusion no longer exists at all. What the Prime Minister wants to enjoy at this moment is nothing more than the joy of victory!

At this time, Tiger no longer hugged his teammates. He was surrounded by countless reporters, rushing to interview this guy who played a hat trick in the final, England's most accomplished player, and the well-deserved owner of the next king of football...

"Tiger, Tiger, about your hat trick..."

"That's nothing to say! The key is that we won the World Cup championship! As for what honors I personally have won, it is all additional. The most important thing is that we are the World Cup champion, we are the world's number one, and we are the king of the world!" Tiger shouted with open arms, like a tiger proclaiming his territory!

Hearing his shouts, the English players also raised their arms and shouted.

“We are the champions!”

"We are the king of the world!"

The cheers in the stands also began to reach a peak!

The trophy display stand in the center of the stadium began to be quickly set up, and on the rostrum, the shining World Cup was already there, and the English players were within reach!

After calming down slightly, the English players all looked at the trophy placed in the center of the rostrum, their eyes full of intense passion!

"The next moment, this trophy belongs to me!" All the English players thought so at the same time.
Chapter completed!
