The ball was lying in the gates of England, still spinning and jumping, and it was not at all a point. In the stands, the Chinese fans burst into enthusiastic cheers, and Ye Xiaotong jumped up excitedly, shouting something loudly. At this moment, her straightforward character of a Chongqing girl was fully revealed.

In the 38th minute of the game, Li Mu expanded the score for the Chinese team, and now the score on the field is 2:0! This is Li Mu's fourth goal in this Cup, one less than Zhang Shujie, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and other stars tied for second place. ”

Li Mu's goals are not as good as Zhang Shujie's, but he has two assists for his teammates, one more than Zhang Shujie, so the two of them have created the same direct goals for the Chinese team, the same six.

Li Mu ran to the side of the stands and celebrated his goal with the Chinese fans in the audience, Zhao Wenkang, who provided an assist for him, came up to hug him, and the other team members also ran over, and everyone formed a circle and hugged each other.

An Rong tidied up his suit, then turned around with a smile and walked to the coach's seat and sat down. A score of 2:0 is a relatively safe score, and 1:0 is completely different things, any coach will feel a lot more at ease when he has two goals in his hand, let alone a team as strong as the Chinese team. If England are to come back, they will have to give full play to attack for the rest of the game to have any hope.

But the contradiction comes, the Chinese team's defense line is second to none in world football, especially the double-layer defensive line in the midfield and backfield will hardly have active mistakes, so the Chinese team dares to let the opponent in, so as to leave space for the opponent's backfield and find opportunities to counterattack. Before the start of the World Cup, some media analyzed the offensive efficiency of each participating team in the main tactics, and the Chinese team's defensive and counter-attacking tactics were the highest in efficiency, 17 percentage points higher than Brazil, which was in second place! This is a very astonishing figure. Southgate is most afraid of this, just kidding, if the Chinese team's defense is crazy, even An Rong himself is afraid!

Southgate guessed that in the second half, the Chinese team would definitely shrink the formation, lure England to attack, and force England to obediently leave the space at the back to the Chinese team, so that the Chinese team can score a few more goals.

Southgate's guess was half right, the Chinese team did not have to wait until the second half, they could safely withdraw the formation for the rest of the first half. After kick-off in Kane's center circle, the Chinese team took the initiative to recycle the formation, and England also took the initiative to advance the formation and put more troops in the attack.

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu both retreated to their own half, the four midfielders retreated deeper, and England's formation was also pressed higher, but they didn't get any chance in the middle at all, and could only go from the side, but England's style of play was relatively monotonous, lacking the cooperation of the side, most of the time it was on the side, the Chinese team had Yan Tao and Liang Xiran in the penalty area, their cross effect was not great, and sometimes Huang Yu and Xu Zhixin, Tang Ling and Zhao Wenkang on both sides even let them have no chance to cross.

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

Shen Hao recorded the game, and he said to Chen Hui: "Look at England, after so many years, it is still those old problems, there is no Beckham in the team, who gave them the courage to use wide crosses frequently?"

Chen Hui said: "What if they don't take the side road? Expect them to break through Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi from the middle lane? Who can break through? Ali or Daer?"

Shen Hao smiled: "England, although they are considered to be a European powerhouse, their results over the years are really difficult to convince the public." ”

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

Ali made a long shot from outside the penalty area, which was blocked by Xu Ziyi with his back and back to Ali's feet, Ali followed with a second kick, this time Xu Ziyi did not block it, and the ball flew straight to the goal. The speed of this ball is very average, the angle is not bad, but the speed is not fast, no matter how good the angle is, it is useless, Ma Junqiang has enough time to make adjustments. In the end, Ali's shot was confiscated by Ma Junqiang.

"Ali couldn't get the desired effect with two long-range shots in a row. He Wei paused for about two seconds when he said this, and then said: "Xu Yang, I think players like Ali and Kane have performed very well in the club, and Kane has killed all sides, but when he arrives at the national team, he always feels that he can't use it." ”

"That's true. This seems to be a common problem of English players, over the years, including the players of the previous generation, except for a very few players such as Beckham and Owen who have played their due strength, other players are generally more average, as if they are two levels of players in the national team and the club. Among them, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard should be two of the most representative figures. ”

"Yes. In fact, it's not that the two of them play poorly in the national team, but I think they perform better in the club. Of course, Frank Lampard has had his national highlights, such as Euro 2004, when he scored three goals in a midfielder, more than many strikers. The point is that the so-called 'double German' combination is a bit disappointing. ”

"yes. Steven Gerrard has been a little better, with two goals left at the World Cup, and Frank Lampard has yet to score at the World Cup. Of course, his whistled goal in the World Cup in South Africa does not count, although it was a misjudgment by the referee, but his goal in the World Cup is indeed zero. ”

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

Kane was complaining to Rashford, who once again failed to pass the ball when Kane was running, resulting in the ball being snatched away by Yan Tao. Not to mention Kane, even the rest of his team-mates had some opinions, and Southgate scolded from the sidelines: "What is Rashford doing?

Yan Tao passed the ball to Xu Ziyi, Ali and Dyer immediately forced over, in the face of the double defense, Xu Ziyi took the ball sideways, quickly dialed the ball with both feet, passed from Dyer's side, Ali immediately followed, Xu Ziyi aimed at the front court, picked it at his feet, and jumped to Xu Zhixin, at this moment the Chinese team played a counterattack, Xu Zhixin rushed towards the front, ate Stones raw with speed, and then passed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area within 30 meters of the England backfield.

Li Mu missed the ball in front of him, Zhang Shujie in the middle stopped the ball with his left foot, knocked on the heel of his right foot, and aimed at Zhao Wenkang and inserted it diagonally into the penalty area, Sterling also ran in with Zhao Wenkang, I have to say that Sterling's follow-up defense is still in place.

Zhang Shujie passed an over-the-top ball, the moment the ball was passed, Smalling squeezed him, making his pass a little smaller, Sterling topped the ball on the penalty area line, Zhao Wenkang thought that he couldn't catch the ball, and stopped cutting, but Sterling's ball was not pushed out, but to the back, that is, in front of Zhao Wenkang!
