Chapter 1093: Midfield Locker Room

"Sterling's top ball failed to really go out, but it was given to Zhao Wenkang, this is Zhao Wenkang's opportunity to expand the results!"

He Wei said so, in fact, Zhao Wenkang is not so good at shooting now, because the ball is a little high, and a little far away from the body, Zhao Wenkang can only raise his legs high, and his body has to lean back, in order to barely hook the ball, he has some difficulty to complete the shot, but he did not kick the middle part, the strength and speed of the ball are very average, Joe Hart caught Zhao Wenkang's shot.

Zhao Wenkang also shook his head with a wry smile and gave Zhang Shujie a thumbs up. At this time, Zhao Wenkang's shooting picture began to be replayed on the field, and Xu Yang said after watching it: "This ball was topped by Sterling like this, Zhao Wenkang is really not so easy to handle, and it is already a little difficult for him to complete the shot." ”

Joe Hart kicked the ball into the centre circle, and before the ball could hit the ground, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and there was no stoppage time.

"Now that the first half of the game is over, the Chinese team is temporarily ahead of England 2:0 with the goals of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, this score is also very beneficial to the Chinese team, so that they will be much easier in the second half in terms of playing style and psychology, it depends on whether England will make some effective adjustments. ”

Xu Yang said: "In the game with the Polish team, the Chinese team was also 2:0 in the first half, and the players who scored the goals were also Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, and the Chinese team beat Poland 4:0 in that game, I don't know what the result of this game will be." ”

The players of the two teams walked towards the locker room, and when they walked outside the passage, the Chinese fans on both sides gave the Chinese players very warm applause, and the two goalscorers, Li Mu and Zhang Shujie, also waved their arms at the fans, making the applause of the fans even more enthusiastic.

Kane looked at these two people, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, in his previous imagination, such a scene should belong to England. Unfortunately, the Three Lions trailed by two goals in the first half, and England fans did not react when they saw their players coming over from the stands. This is also a very real problem, if you play well, the fans will naturally like you and welcome you, but if you don't play well, let alone welcome, it's a good thing that you don't scold you.

The Chinese players walked into the locker room with a smile, and they were still talking and laughing in the locker room for a long time, of course, the most talked about were the two goals of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu.

I only heard Yan Tao say: "The two goals you two just now are really wonderful, according to me, these two goals can definitely be ranked in the top two of this World Cup." ”

Liang Xiran said with a smile: "It's a pity that this is a fan vote, you are a player, and you are not eligible to vote." ”

Yan Tao sighed: "Isn't it? If I were a fan, I would definitely rank these two goals in the top two." ”

Zhao Wenkang said: "Yan Tao, what you said is wrong, what if Zhang Shujie or Li Mu have more exciting goals later?"

Yan Tao was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "That's right." ”

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu didn't speak, just sat on the side and looked at their teammates with a smile.

An Rong's gaze swept around the locker room before he said, "Okay." I know you're happy, and I'm happy. Well..... I said the same thing after half-time in Poland, but I'm happier now than I was against Poland because it was a knockout game and we had two goals in our hands and we had a big advantage. However, I must remind you not to take it lightly, and although I believe in your attitude towards the game, sometimes negligence is inadvertently revealed. We have to maintain our advantage, the defence has to be careful, in the second half we focused on the counter-attack, let England possess the ball, anyway, they can't play this kind of passing technique. ”

An Rong didn't say much, the players performed well in the first half, both defensively and offensively. On the defensive line, they did not make mistakes in their busyness, and on the front line, the two strikers each scored a goal, and unless An Rong is the one who picks the bones in the egg, he has nothing to improve. But at this moment, An Rong really wants to pick some bones out, but he won't say it now.

He glanced at Zhang Shujie, thought of the "pendulum pass" in the first half, and then looked at all the players and said, "We have plenty of time in the middle of the game, you can arrange it yourself." ”

An Rong threw a lot of time to the team, Southgate didn't dare to do it, he looked at Smalling and Cahill, and said: "I know you tried your best, you didn't make mistakes, but Zhang Shujie and Li Mu still didn't score." In the second half we adjusted our defensive tactics to zone up and stop marking people, because their movement could disrupt the rhythm of our defence. ”

Gareth Southgate is right when he says that man-to-man tactics look fantastic, but they are actually very taxing on defenders, and very few people are now using man-to-man on the whole pitch, with zone defence being a much more effective approach. Southgate hopes to improve his team's defence in this way.

In attack, Southgate said to Alli: "You have to press forward as much as possible, press up and create trouble for the Chinese team's backfield, I didn't let you take the ball too much to give space to press forward!

Rashford didn't seem to expect Southgate to name him, and was stunned before saying, "Sir?"

Southgate said: "You stuck the ball too much in the first half, you have to know what kind of defender you are facing, we are not playing against the relegation team, we are playing the Chinese team, the favorite to win the championship! Is it so easy for this kind of team to break through alone? You are not Maradona, even Maradona needs teammates. You have to work with your team-mates a lot and in the first half Kane didn't pass the ball on both runs, so I don't want to see that happen in the second half. ”

Rashford nodded and said, "Yes sir, there won't be anything like this in the second half." ”

Southgate said: 'So it's not like we didn't have a chance! it's just been wasted for some unnecessary reasons, and in the last 45 minutes if we get another chance like this, we have to look at our team-mates, whoever it is. Do you all know?"

"Got it!" the team members said loudly.

Southgate looked at the time and said, "Okay, the second half is about to start, you guys get out of the dressing room first." ”

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

The players of both teams walked out of the locker room, and the players gathered in groups of three to discuss the game. The expressions on the faces of the Chinese players were clearly relaxed, while the English players were more serious.

Two minutes later, everyone was instructed by the referee team to play. Zhang Shujie had just walked out of the players' tunnel, and An Rong, who was standing on the side, called out to him: "Zhang Shujie, wait a minute." ”
