Chapter 681: Efficiency is more important than the scene
"When the gap between ideals and reality is too large, no matter who you are, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accept it. This is what England fans are like now.
Before the start of the game, Sawyer and the others, who always clamored to beat Spain three times like before, find it even more difficult to accept the current situation where England is passively being beaten - what is Spain? Although they have always been the top team in Europe, their stability is even worse than England. Now that we are so powerful and have killed the Netherlands, France and Italy, how can we be beaten by Spain
"Damn it, when did Spain become so powerful?" Sawyer muttered to himself while cheering for the team loudly. John next to him was even more foul-mouthed: "Fuck Spain, ruin that. Boy, get rid of that bastard"
The fans in England began to cheer for the team with louder shouts and rougher swear words. If the England players had the same mentality as them, the field would have been full of shovels and red and yellow cards
Fortunately, the players on the field in England have maintained enough sense.
Xiao Ming has always emphasized that "Spain's ability to reach the semi-finals proves that they are stronger than those eliminated teams." This sentence has been verified. England's players began to truly realize that this game will definitely not It was a game that could easily end.
Like the players, England's coaching staff also remained quite calm and rational. Although Spain's fierce attack completely suppressed England and created many opportunities, they failed to score after all. , and at the same time, such suppression will also consume a lot of Spain's physical energy. After all, England's pressing in the midfield is also very fierce.
As long as Spain's offensive rhythm is slower, England's counterattack can be launched. After gradually being suppressed, the situation will definitely change.
There are ninety minutes in a game. No team can suppress its opponent forever, and no team has no chance at all from beginning to end. How to turn advantage into victory and how to reverse the situation in unfavorable situations, this is This is the most attractive thing about football.
After withstanding a wave of attacks from the opponent, Spain's offensive pace slowed down, and England began to rebound. However, Spain's foot skills were indeed good. They firmly controlled the ball and looked for opportunities.
With continuous back passes, the ball became deeper. Ramos, who was holding the ball, saw England's defense moving forward for a certain distance. He immediately made a long pass to England's back before Rooney could press forward. Torres took advantage of the situation and passed it from Terry. Insert it from behind!
England fans screamed in the stands, but England's defense, after being tested for a long time, is not a defense that can be penetrated by the opponent's easy direct and long passes. Terry returned to the defense in time, and several big players Bu caught up with Torres who had just received the ball, and then the two became entangled.
Torres forced a speed to break away from Terry's defense, but Terry's speed was not slow, and he immediately got into trouble. At the same time, he kept bumping into Torres with his body in a measured way. The two entangled for a while. Seeing that he had entered the penalty area, Torres fell into the penalty area after colliding with Terry again.
¡°Penalty kick¡ª¡ª¡± the Spanish fans shouted.
¡°Fuck¡ª¡± England fans shouted.
¡°Fuck you diving¡ª¡± the Spanish fans continued to shout.
"Fuck you penalty kick¡ª¡ª" England fans were unceremonious.
The two sides were shouting at each other lively, but the argument between the players on the field seemed a bit fake. In the end, the referee did not call Terry a foul, nor Torres for diving, but Torres for a foul - he was falling just now. He also tripped Terry, and they both fell in the same embarrassing situation.
"Hurry up and take the free kick!" Venables shouted on the court.
At this time, the players from both sides came to their senses and the game could continue. Daniel picked up the ball and put it on the ground, and then passed the ball to Beckham in front of Villa before Villa came up to block it. Beckham looked up and saw just now Rooney, who is still pressing in the frontcourt, is cruising on the right
After Ramos sent the long pass, he ran up to assist. Rooney is now unguarded, and Puyol, who may interfere with him, is still in a relatively far position
Beckham didn¡¯t think much, he immediately raised his right foot and passed the ball long!
When Beckham's cross flew in the air, it flew in the center of the court. It didn't start to bend towards the left wing he imagined until it flew a certain distance. If it was a player unfamiliar with him in Rooney's position,Lanzhou scored a goal in its first threatening attack in the game! Rooney counterattacked to create a free kick, and Daniel opened the scoring for the team under the cover of Beckham! This was only England's first shot in the game, but they were ahead of Spain, who had already had five shots! Efficient, surprisingly efficient! After Xiao took office, he almost turned England into a mixture of Italy and Germany! "
"What is efficiency? This is efficiency! Since Xiao Ming took office, in addition to refreshing England's spirit, he has also allowed England to achieve brilliant victories without having an advantage! Their number of attacks is often not Although they lacked a stable enough scoring point, Xiao Ming gave England countless ways to score! Against the Netherlands, their ball possession rate was only 35%, but They defeated the Netherlands three to zero. Against Italy, they were suppressed by their opponents in the half court for half the time. The final score was still three to zero! Now, they were suppressed by Spain in the first fifteen minutes and could not even breathe. However, with just a counterattack and a free kick, they took the lead in the 18th minute! Efficient! Extremely efficient! Compared with the advantages on the scene, superb efficiency is the strongest way to win! Obviously, Xiao Ming knows this very well!¡±
Aragones' eyebrows furrowed. He could only shake his head and sigh at this free kick. There was no way. England did have many good free kickers, but Beckham was still the best. No one would win in England. In the case of set kicks, the attention was not attracted to Beckham, but England took advantage of this. Aragones couldn't help but admire, at least in terms of understanding people's hearts, Xiao Ming is not even better than him. How different is the difference between Lao Jianghu
"This is a bit troublesome now." Aragones thought without changing his expression.
Similarly, after celebrating, Xiao Ming quickly calmed down from the excitement - there are still more than 70 minutes in the game, and a goal lead means nothing. The opponent's offense is indeed very strong. Now, it is not time to relax. when.
But no matter what, a one-goal lead is a one-goal lead, and this cannot be erased.
After gaining the lead of this goal, the psychology of both sides will undoubtedly be greatly affected, and the impact of this goal will undoubtedly greatly affect the trend of the next game.
However, no one can predict where it will go. This is the charm of football. Even top coaches like Aragones and Xiao Ming cannot keep the game going according to their own ideas.
