    Chapter 677: A perfect first half

    "Lennon broke through Grosso! He was moving as fast as lightning. Grosso, who was so brilliant in the World Cup, seemed to have no power to fight back! Foul! Foul, Grosso pulled down Lennon with his backhand, and it was completely  Undoubted foul!"

    Amid the boos from the English fans, the referee ran over and gave a few warnings to Grosso, who was still defending. Grosso could only retreat obediently. The referee had no intention of showing him a yellow card. If  If you continue to struggle and take a card, you will lose more than you gain.

    Xiao Ming stood up and made a pressing gesture. England's two central defenders all ran up, leaving only the two full-backs and Barry to defend a little behind. The others were all in the opponent's half.  On the field ready to participate in the attack.

    Terry, Ferdinand, and Gerrard were crowded at the back point, Rooney was roaming at the back point, Lampard was also preparing to respond at the front point, Lennon was preparing to respond next to Beckham, and Donadoni looked at his penalty area.  , I found that people seemed to be a little short of it

    The Italian national team is not particularly outstanding in terms of height. Although Panucci is better at scoring headers as he gets older, he is not tall enough after all. Chiellini is also unable to do it alone. If it weren't for Grosso's height, he is still a little taller.  If they had the advantage, they would be outmatched by England immediately. All three midfielders returned to the penalty area to participate in defense. The numerical advantage increased, and Donadoni relaxed a little.

    The location of this free kick is on the right side of the penalty area, almost parallel to the penalty area line and close to the sideline. A free kick from this angle is much better than a corner kick. No wonder the Italians are so nervous.

    England's offensive players were basically concentrated at the back point, and Italy's defensive players were also concentrated at the back point. There were only two players in the middle, Lampard and De Rossi. Beckham put the ball in position and raised his head.  Looking at the situation in the penalty area.

    The referee blew the whistle that allowed the penalty to be taken, and Beckham started to run. England's players at the back point dispersed. Gerrard and Rooney ran towards the center of the penalty area, while others rushed to the goal.

    De Rossi¡¯s attention was attracted by Gerrard running over, and Lampard, who he was originally responsible for defending, had already run out of the penalty area.

    Beckham ran close to the ball, but instead of sending a cross, he directly swept the ball towards the edge of the penalty area!

    Lampard took a step back to get the ball out of the way, then immediately took a step forward, swung his right foot in the air without stopping the ball, and then hit the rolling ball hard!

    The ball drew a weird arc, bypassed the numerous figures in the penalty area, and flew straight to the goal!

    No matter how quick Buffon¡¯s reaction was, it was too late when he saw the ball coming out of the crowd!

    The ball flew past Buffon's hands and then plunged into the goal!

    ¡°Frank Lampard!¡±

    Mortensen¡¯s long shouts swept the entire live broadcast booth, and then the crazy shouts of more than 10,000 England fans swept the entire stadium!

    In the 13th minute, England opened the scoring!

    A beautiful free kick!

    Lampard waved his fist and rushed to the sidelines. After waving his fist at the stands, he rushed directly to the coaching bench and hugged Xiao Ming tightly!

    The reason why he still believed that Xiao Ming was not perfunctory with him even though he did not get a starting chance in the group stage, this free kick coordination that has been practiced for a long time is also a proof!  If he hadn't intended to reuse him, how could Xiao Ming have spent training time on him that was precious to him and the England national team?  After enduring the entire group stage, it was finally time to pay off!

    "Okay, Frank, you can let go!" Xiao Ming patted Lampard on the back, then curled his lips and snorted: "No one in Leyton Orient dares to hug me after scoring a goal. In England,  This kind of thing has become very common!¡±

    Lampard smiled sheepishly and let go of his hand. Xiao Ming glanced at him, suddenly hugged him, and patted him hard on the back a few times: "Nice shot.  Frank!¡±

    Donadoni wiped his sweat. England's fierce and fast attack had already made him feel a little bad, and then with the help of a set kick, England took the lead. Since Xiao Ming took office, set kick scoring has become a key factor in England.  The extremely effective scoring methods and various free kick combinations make every coach tense up when they see it. Just dealing with various possible free kick combinations will make them feel exhausted

    Despite repeated warnings, England scored the first goal from a set kick. The next game may be a bit difficult to play.

      With a set kick after a fierce attack and a quick counterattack after a midfield steal, England actually gained a two-goal lead!

    This is also Rooney's third goal in this European Championship. This goal makes him the top scorer in the England team. England has scored nine goals in the European Championship so far.  The number of goals ranked above all teams, only Spain, which also scored seven goals in the group stage, may catch up with their number of goals.

    What is even more unfavorable for Italy is that this goal occurred in the 41st minute of the first half. If they cannot recover a goal in the remaining time, then Xiao Ming will be able to arrange it with ease during the halftime break.  Tactics.

    "Tell the players to retract the defense, let's save some energy. Leo will keep an eye on their Tony just survive these few minutes." Xiao Ming said to Venables calmly.

    Venables nodded and immediately conveyed Xiao Ming's intention.

    After the restart, England started to defend, and Italy also launched several attacks in the remaining minutes. However, their offense seemed a bit messy. England protected the front of the penalty area very well, and Lampard also returned to the penalty area.  Frontline defense, while Toni in the penalty area was pestered by Ferdinand, and both headers were high due to interference.

    When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, England walked into the locker room with their heads held high with a two-goal lead.

    "Perfect first half! Two clean goals! Dominated the game most of the time! Italy is no longer the Italy that won the World Cup, and England now is much stronger than England two years ago.  Times!"

    Mortensen shouted excitedly. England did play well in the first half. In addition to suppressing Italy most of the time, they did not give Italy many opportunities defensively. More importantly, they seized it.  Opportunity, the advantage of a two-goal lead is real!

    Shearer smiled and said nothing, but he was slightly worried because in the first half, England's players ran quite actively, especially the frontcourt players and the two full-backs, who ran a considerable distance.  They were so big that they suppressed Italy in all aspects. In terms of physical fitness in the second half, maybe they didn't have the advantage
