The players of both teams have already stood in the tunnel, Ma Junqiang is at the front of the Chinese team's queue, and England have Cary wearing the captain's armband after Rooney announced his retirement from the national team.

Under the leadership of several referees on duty, the players of the two teams gradually walked out of the players' tunnel and walked towards the court. The Chinese fans in the stands also became active when they saw the Chinese team appear. The same is true for the England team, whose fans have been shouting for a long time.

The captains of the two teams were selected, England chose the ball in the first half, and the Chinese team chose the venue.

Harry Kane stood in the center circle, ready to kick off, the fans at the scene also quieted down, waiting for the game to start, and Wang Shihan and several people also sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the game to start.

With a "beep", Kane passed the ball back to Ali, who gave it to Cahill, and the final match of the round of 16 of the 21st World Cup officially began.

"Good morning, viewers and friends, what you are watching now is the last match of the 21st World Cup round of 16 broadcast by CCTV5 for you, which is played by the Chinese team against England. The Chinese team wearing white clothes and white pants is the Chinese team, and the one wearing the red shirt and white shorts is England, and the Chinese team attacked from left to right in the first half, and England attacked from right to left. ”

Before He Wei finished speaking, the England team went directly to Kane with a long pass from the backfield, and the quality of the ball was very average, a little biased, and Huang Yu pushed it out of the sideline.

"It was England's long ball attack just now, Huang Yu destroyed the ball, and England got a throw-in. Let's continue to introduce the starting lineup of the two sides, the Chinese team is very familiar with this lineup, or 442, goalkeeper Ma Junqiang, defenders Huang Yu, Liang Xiran, Yan Tao and Tang Ling, midfielders Xu Zhixin, Xu Ziyi, Chen Zihua and Zhao Wenkang, forwards are Li Mu and Zhang Shujie. England also played a more conservative 442, with goalkeeper Joe Hart, defenders Gibbs, Cahill, Chris Smalling and John Stones, a midfield quartet of Raheem Sterling, Alli, Dier and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford up front. ”

Xu Yang said at this time: "Both teams are discharged with a balanced offensive and defensive 442, although many people now say that the 442 formation is a bit outdated, but if I look carefully, many teams actually pay more attention to the use of this formation, and Barcelona, who was used to 433, have begun to play 442." ”

"That's right. The point is that the 442 is well-balanced on the offensive and defensive ends, and there is no such top-heavy feeling. Personally, I think that among so many teams, the best team with 442 at the national team level is the Chinese team, and the club's words are Barcelona. ”

On the field, England is now attacking, the Chinese team is in a defensive formation, because there are four people in the midfield, so there is no very weak link in the defense, especially in the middle is occupied by Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi, it is really difficult for ordinary people to calmly pass. England is also self-aware, deliberately avoiding the middle, looking for a breakthrough from both sides.

No matter how tightly defended any team is, there will not be too many people on both sides, so there is one wingback in the middle and one at the back, and when the attacking side goes on the wing, it is usually two people who take turns playing, so neither side suffers in terms of numbers.

Chamberlain took the ball on the side, wanted to pick the ball behind Xu Zhixin and Huang Yu, Stones quickly plugged in, but Huang Yu leaned on him in advance, so that he could not get the ball smoothly, Huang Yu broke the ball, knocked it to Xu Zhixin in front, Xu Zhixin gave the ball to Chen Zihua in the middle, Chen Zihua's big foot directly transferred to the right side, Zhao Wenkang unloaded the ball on his chest, volleyed his right foot, and jumped to Zhang Shujie in front of the left.

Smalling was next to Zhang Shujie, and when Zhang Shujie stopped the ball, Smalling began to pull him. However, Zhang Shujie didn't entangle with him, stepped on the ball with his left foot, knocked his heel again, knocked it to the right side, and knocked it to Tang Ling, who was inserted from behind.

Tang Ling's speed is very fast, Gibbs is a fullback, but speed is not his specialty, when Tang Ling started, Gibbs couldn't catch up with him, Tang Ling accelerated, and then shook his hand and arm, and left Gibbs behind.

"Tang Ling's speed is very fast! Gibbs can't keep up with him at all!"

Tang Ling's trip was a bit big, and Dyer made up for it in time, and before Tang Ling's second trip, he made a sliding tackle and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

He Wei said: "Dyer's defense this time is still very timely, if Tang Ling really rushes over, then the England backfield will be really empty." The two central defenders in the middle definitely don't dare to come up, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu still need to be taken care of by them. ”

Xu Yang continued: "Yes, judging from Cahill and Smalling's running, they seem to be following Li Mu and Zhang Shujie, could it be that Southgate arranged for a person to mark people?"

"It's possible. However, it is not easy to judge the game just now, and it will take a while to see it. ”

The Chinese team's attack encountered the same situation as England, and they were all cut off the sideline by the opponent at the first time. England's second wave of attack was cut off by the Chinese team and counterattacked, I don't know what the second wave of attack will be like for the Chinese team.

Tang Ling stood outside the sideline, raising the ball with both hands over his head, observing the position of his teammates, Xu Ziyi and Zhao Wenkang were interspersed with running positions, attracting England's defense, Tang Ling pointed to an open space in front of him, and shouted at Zhang Shujie: "Jie Zai, come here!"

Zhang Shujie immediately ran over, and Smalling also ran with him, but Tang Ling did not throw the ball to Zhang Shujie, but threw it to Chen Zihua from afar, Chen Zihua unloaded the ball on his chest, Ali followed behind him, he looked at the position of his teammates in advance when he received the ball, so he didn't wait for the ball to land, half-turned and volleyed, and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area, Li Mu and Cahill competed for the top, and finally Li Mu was slightly better and pushed the ball to.

Although Li Mu grabbed this point, due to the position and Cahill's pull, he could not form an attack. He was very smart to put the ball back in front of the penalty area, about the top of the arc, Xu Ziyi, who was still relatively close to the right side before, rushed up at some point, saw the incoming ball, picked up his right leg, and shot a long shot outside the penalty area!

His shot was powerful and just a little more angled and the ball smashed into England's goal, where Joe Hart moved a step and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

"The quality of Xu Ziyi's shot is still very high, if it can be a little more off, the threat will be even greater! Joe Hart also made a good save and did not desert. ”

The first shot of the game was scored by China's Xu Ziyi in the third minute, and although the ball did not score, it also won a corner for China.
