Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 556: Advancing to the finals! What the golden generation couldn't do, I, Ling Feng, did!
With Ling Feng scoring twice, the score on the field had become three to one.

From the scene and the score, everyone can see that the balance of victory has tilted towards England!

However, the French did not intend to raise the white flag and surrender so easily.

Even though this is a traditional art that is deeply rooted in the blood of every romantic Frenchman
However, both Deschamps and the French players believe that they still have a chance!

As the score gap widened again, Deschamps made a last-ditch effort!
"Antoine! You and Killian switch places."

"Paul, get on top!"

He first let Mbappe and Griezmann swap positions, and then directly pushed Pogba to the attacking midfielder position, changing the formation from 433 to a more offensive 4231!

Mbappe was on the right, able to make full use of his speed to attack the Three Lions' defense.

However, his kicking style is relatively simple and his left foot is not strong enough.

If you move on the right side, there is only one trick, which is to make a soup and pass the ball from the bottom!

Such an obvious offensive means could not break through the tough defense of Luke Shaw, one of the top three full-backs in the Premier League who had experienced the baptism of strong teams in the Premier League and the Champions League!

As long as we defend the outside line and prevent Mbappe from speeding up, we can pin France's sharpest sword on the wing and make it useless.

Therefore, considering Mbappe's explosiveness, Deschamps moved him to the left.

The inverted winger cuts inside and can either pass the ball or shoot directly, which is more threatening!
As for Griezmann, whose dominant foot is his left, he is on the right and can also cut inside to pass and shoot.

In addition to the position changes and changes in playing style, the most crucial change is to push Pogba to the attacking midfielder position!
In this way, he can get rid of Ling Feng's defense as much as possible while reducing his own defensive tasks, so that he can focus more on organizing the offense.

Pogba and Griezmann are closer to each other and can play more passing and cutting cooperation.

Moreover, Pogba's powerful long-range shooting ability can also play a role in breaking through the opponent's dense defense at critical moments.

This series of tactical changes made France's offense smoother and more aggressive, and once again suppressed England who retreated to the half of the court!
Seeing that the French have begun to attack with all their might, this World Cup semi-final that has attracted worldwide attention has officially entered its most intense stage!
Will France be able to break through England's gate again and save its life?
Or will England continue to maintain its advantage? !
In the 63rd minute of the game, Pogba and Griezmann played a wall pass, and then the former fired a heavy shot with a speed of over 100 hours from the outside of the Three Lions position!

Fortunately, this powerful long-range shot was powerful enough, but the angle was off, and was blocked by the focused Pickford with both hands, rejecting the opponent's another threatening attack.

"Hey! Don't let him kick!"

Hearing this, Dell, who was breathing slightly heavily, also raised his hand to indicate that this was his problem.

As Pogba moved forward, the person marking him changed from Ling Feng to two defensive midfielders - Henderson and Dale.

Although he couldn't gain any advantage in front of Ling Feng, he was directly frozen.

But in front of Henderson and Dier, Pogba was finally able to fully demonstrate his skills and abilities as the top midfielder in Serie A!

With Pogba freed up on the defensive end, and Mbappe and Griezmann frequently cruising to the middle, the Three Lions' defensive pressure in the middle increased suddenly.

If Ling Feng had not retreated to the midfield and kept moving left and right to assist in defense, they would have been able to withstand the fierce attack of the French team.

Seeing that the French seemed to be crazy and continued to attack from all sides, the calm Hodgson promptly replaced Sterling with Lingard, who was more defensively aggressive, in the 73rd minute of the game.

In this way, England endured the most agonizing fifteen minutes.

During this period, the French team controlled 70% of the ball possession and contributed seven threatening attacks!

Unfortunately, in front of the united Three Lions, they still couldn't break the deadlock.

And the French are becoming more and more impatient.

And when the game time quietly reached the 80th minute, Deschamps, who was pacing frantically on the sidelines, waved his hand and replaced defender Luca Hernandez with Dembele, the "King of Football" who plays for Barcelona!

Pushing Dembele to the front line, in addition to adding more manpower to the offensive line, is also to create more space for Mbappe's sprint.

However, in this way, as the number of defenders decreases and midfielder Kante frequently presses forward to participate in the attack, the defensive space in the backcourt will inevitably be expanded.

Once the frontcourt fails to maintain offensive suppression and the Three Lions seize the opportunity to counterattack, it will be fatal!
However, as time passed, the anxious French could no longer care about so much.

What offensive and defensive balance, what four defenders and three defenders, I don’t care about it!

Now they must catch up with a goal as soon as possible to narrow the score gap and keep the suspense of victory or defeat until the last second before the final whistle of the game!
The French attacked frantically, while the English held their ground, attacking and defending at the same time, although no goals were scored.

However, the quality of passing and the frequency of interspersed movements represent the top tactical confrontations in today's football!
You know, these two teams are the first and second most valuable national teams in the world!

However, just when everyone thought that the Three Lions would hold on to this score until the very end, something strange happened!

In the 83rd minute of the game, the French team took control of the ball and attacked again.

Kante got the ball in the middle and suddenly moved forward, attracting Ling Feng's defense, then passed the ball to Pogba.

Juventus' No. 10 did not hesitate at all. After observing the goalkeeper's position, he took two steps sideways, created an angle, and shot directly!

Bang!
The ball instantly left a quick afterimage in the air and flew straight towards the goal!

Perhaps only Ling Feng, with his full dynamic vision, could capture the trajectory of the ball in the air.

Faced with this heavy shot that did not rotate at all, England goalkeeper Pickford did not choose to punch it out with both fists, but chose to block it with both palms, and the ball bounced out to the vicinity of the penalty spot.

Seeing this, Mbappe, who had an extremely keen sense of smell in front of the goal, took a sudden step forward, caught the ball before Walker who was distracted, and then completed a sliding shot!

The next second, the ball passed by Pickford's hands and flew into the empty goal behind him!

"Wow!"

"The ball goes in! Not offside!"

"The suspense of the game is not over yet! France has not surrendered yet!"

"Kylian Mbappe, the super prodigy, pulled the French team back from the brink!"

"There are seven minutes left in regular time, plus extra time, there are about ten minutes left!"

"Everything is possible!"

After scoring the goal, Mbappe rushed into the goal immediately, picked up the ball and ran back.

While running towards the center circle kick-off point, he waved his left hand to the fans in the stands.

All of a sudden, the cheers in the stands became louder.

Many fans couldn't help but shout out his name:
"Mbappe!"

"Mbappe!!"

"Mbappe!!!"

In this perhaps the most crucial game in his career, Mbappe once again demonstrated his strong psychological quality and finishing ability!

At this moment, looking at Pickford kneeling on the ground and pounding the ground in frustration, Ling Feng had a calm expression, but in his heart he couldn't help but miss his club teammates.

If it was De Gea, he would have been able to hit the ball steadily, or at least save it from going out of bounds. In this way, there would have been no subsequent loss of possession and no goal!

However, there is no way around this.

In this attack, Pickford has done the limit of what a goalkeeper can do.
With Mbappe's goal, the gap between the two sides was narrowed again!

The Three Lions players couldn't help but show a look of helplessness on their faces for this slightly unexpected goal.

The morale of the French soldiers who had regained the city was greatly boosted!
French coach Deschamps on the sidelines waved his hands, signaling to his players that they did a great job and should keep it up!

For the French, they certainly hope to take advantage of the situation and equalize the score in the last ten minutes.

Even surpass the score!

However, just when the French soldiers were eager to launch an attack immediately, Ling Feng sneered.
Want to make a comeback?

Have you asked me?!

Just two minutes later, as the French formation pressed forward, the space behind them became as wide as the sea.

Ling Feng retreated to the midfield and backcourt to help the team control the ball, and then used his strong personal ability to easily break through the French team's high-pressing tactics.

When he was dribbling forward, facing the double-team of Pogba and Kante, he broke through gracefully with just a chic Marseille turn!

Then, facing a large space in front of him, he did not continue to advance with the ball, but swung his left leg and directly sent out an artistic long pass over the top, accurately finding Lin Huang who suddenly started to move forward on the right!

Lingard, who came on as a substitute in the 70th minute of the second half, was full of energy.

Of course, the moment Ling Feng got the ball, relying on the tacit understanding he had developed with Ling Feng over the years, he had already realized that Ling Feng would definitely see him making a forward run for this ball.

Sure enough, just as he successfully made an offside move, the ball came in front of him.

Lingard didn't even need to stop the ball. He just stretched out his right foot and kicked the ball along, then he shot into the heart of France alone!
“Incredible pass!”

"Just like in Manchester United, Ling Feng's pass found Lingard!"

"Jesse Lingard got the chance to kill the game!"

"Can he make the final decision?!"

Watching Lingard going to the meeting alone from afar, Ling Feng remained calm in his heart.

Compared to Sterling, Lingard may not be talented enough.

However, after his personal training and following Manchester United's conquest of Europe, Lingard is no longer the King Lin who was once ridiculed by fans!
But he is a first-rate player who has experienced many ups and downs and is truly capable of standing on his own!
Go on!

Emperor Lin!

Let everyone see how arrogant you are!

Lingard dribbled into the penalty area and faced French goalkeeper Lloris alone. He just shot the ball calmly and mercilessly, and sent the ball into the near corner of the goal!
boom!
The whole stadium was boiling again!

The score on the field became four to two!
After scoring the goal, Lingard faced the camera and made his signature double L celebration gesture on such an important stage as the World Cup semi-final.

Your Lin Huang is infinitely rampant!
Then he turned around and pointed at Ling Feng who passed the ball to him.

Afterwards, the two high-fived and hugged each other, smiling:

"Good job, man!"

"Hey, you passed it beautifully!"

At the same time, with Lingard scoring this goal, the suspense of the game was directly killed.
The French soldiers felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads.

Every French fan feels like they are falling into an icy cave!

It’s totally cool!

They finally managed to score a goal, but the opponent easily scored a goal through a counterattack and widened the score again!

What the hell is this?!

Could it be that they really cannot defeat this Three Lions team? !

Unconsciously, the emotions of despair and powerlessness had spread in the hearts of the French soldiers.
Even in the final moments, the French continued to attack.

However, judging from their enthusiasm for running and their mental state, everyone knew that they had lost the will to fight to the bitter end.

Soon, the regular game time ended and entered the overtime period.

In just three minutes of stoppage time, the French were unable to change the score again.

Finally, as the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the entire Zenit Cross Arena suddenly erupted in cheers that resounded through the sky.

The Three Lions substitutes, who could no longer hold back, immediately jumped into the field and celebrated wildly:

“We’re in the finals!”

"Ness!"

"Come on!"

The fans in the stands have turned into a white ocean of joy!

At the same time, fans from all over the British Isles were either cheering or sliding on their knees to celebrate in various venues.

You know, this is the first time they have reached the World Cup finals after 1966 years since 52!

"First of all, let us congratulate England for reaching the final!"

"After half a century of waiting, British football once again stands on the World Cup final stage!"

"What the golden generation couldn't do, this young Three Lions team has done!"

"Of course, no one can deny that this team has Ling Feng, the best player in the world today, and is one of the favorites to win the championship."

“And this man, hailed as the greatest talent in English football history, lived up to expectations and led the team to the World Cup final!”

"No matter who wins or loses the final, he and the Three Lions have already created new history and records!"

After the game, Ling Feng, the captain of the Three Lions, who scored two goals and made one assist and was named the best player of the match, also directly revealed his and the team's ambitions in an interview with the media:

"France is a very strong opponent. However, we are the better team!"

"From the very beginning, reaching the final and lifting the World Cup has been our goal!"

“No matter who our opponent is in the final, we will go all out and defeat them!”
