Southgate's reminder didn't help. Due to what he said at half-time, the unexpected situation has now affected the mental state of the England team.

Most directly, the confidence of several strikers in the England team has been challenged.

Like Kane and Ali, in addition to having a little doubt about themselves, they are still very unwilling and unconvinced. They have their pride, and they can't accept being frustrated at the feet of a Chinese player and asking them to back down.

After a lot of entanglement, England once again won possession. They again organized a wave of offensives. When the football came to Ali's feet again, he still attacked the Chinese defense from the middle as he did in the first half.

Ali knew that their manager Southgate wanted him to be careful of Yan Feng, but he didn't think that their attack would be frustrated if they replaced Yan Feng more. In his opinion, the strength of the entire England team, as long as they do not come alone, can definitely reproduce the overwhelming advantage of the first half.

Ali did not single out Yan Feng, but passed and penetrated. There was no problem with his passing, but Kane, who received the ball, was under the bag of the Chinese defenders and was difficult to turn for a while. Kane can only pass back. And Ali originally planned to plug in and respond, but Yan Feng, who was following him closely, gave him no chance to get the ball.

Kane could only pass back to Dale further away, but the ball was intercepted by Zheng Zhi, who had predicted it with experience, halfway through.

The Chinese team once again defended successfully.

Counterattack. Zheng Zhi directly attacked. And Lin Fan, Gao Lin, Wu Lei and others in front of them all ran forward quickly.

This time the counterattack, the Chinese team attacked very resolutely. And the counterattack is fast. So, this wave of offense worked well. successfully entered the penalty area, but Gao Lin, who was outflanked in the middle, did not grasp it.

"Good. That's it. ”

The performance of the Chinese began to be appreciated. Lippi smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Southgate, on the other hand, was not in such a good mood. After replacing Yan Feng, the defense of the Chinese team is really different. He realised that China's defence would make it more difficult for England to attack.

Sure enough, after the ball was converted, the England team was intercepted by Yan Feng and Zheng Zhi when they attacked to the middle again. It's hard to get the ball at Kane's feet, and even if the ball is at Kane's feet, it doesn't have much effect except to kick it back.

"The Chinese team's back-back combination is as hard as an iron gate. From the middle it is impossible to attack. Southgate realised England could not easily disrupt China's defence from the centre as they did in the first half.

"Perform Tactic Number Three. Attack both sides. Kane flanked '''''' 'Southgate held three fingers on the pitch and then instructed his players to bypass China's most solid central defence.

After three or four setbacks in front of the central defence, Ali, who was the playmaker of the attack, also realized that he was in trouble. After hearing the head coach's request to change tactics, he began to avoid Yan Feng. Whenever the ball came to his feet, he chose to split it to the side.

The England team first tried to attack from the left side of the Chinese team, which is Jiang Zhipeng's point. Rashford still has a lot of advantages over Jiang Zhipeng. But Jiang Zhipeng had Yan Feng to assist, which made Rashford unable to find any chance.

After a failed attempt on the left, England shifted their attack to the right side of the Chinese team. It was Sturridge who attacked the right flank of the Chinese team.

Guarding the right side of the Chinese team is Zhang 5 and Zhang Lin Peng. Zhang 5 is the Chinese team except for Yan Feng, who is equally good in body and speed. Sturridge, whose physical speed has declined in recent years, was not able to occupy much of an advantage when facing Zhang 5, who also has physical speed. And Zheng Zhi's timely defense also made this point flawless.

England's attack faced its biggest challenge since the game. Rashford on the left has enough impact, but Jiang Zhipeng, who has Yan Feng's support, is not timid. Sturridge on the right is not easy to use. England's attack is in trouble.

After the Chinese team was able to withstand the England team in defense, the offensive aspect also began to improve. China's patient and quick ground penetration began to create chaos in England's penalty area. It's a pity that the Chinese team is still weak.

For a while, the Chinese team and the England team fell into a stalemate on the field.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, and England lost their attacking advantage. This is by no means what Southgate wants.

So, Southgate began to dispatch troops. Replace Sturridge with the younger and more impactful 'Black Bey' Welbeck.

Welbeck has the physicality, the pace and a good cross. He was often used as a winger in the England squad and it worked well. On his pitch, Zhang 5 could not deal with it as calmly as he did against Sturridge. Welbeck managed to get his first five runs and crossed the ball. It's a pity that Kane, who was outflanked in the middle, didn't grasp it.

"Good. That's it. You've only got one Rashford, and we've got more than one Rashford. Southgate shook his fist excitedly. His substitutions rushed to the desired effect. At the same time, it also made him see that the hope of victory became bigger again.

"It's dangerous. This time. England didn't score the goal, but it still shocked the Chinese fans in a cold sweat. Many people can't help but worry in their hearts. After all, except for a few positions where the Chinese team can compete with the England team, most of the positions are at a disadvantage.

The others were worried, but Lippi still maintained a calm WeChat on his face. He came to the sidelines and raised three fingers at the court.

"Tactic No. 3. ”

It's not just England who has the No. 3 tactic, China also has it.

"Brother Zhi, it's time to start executing the number three tactics. After Yan Feng saw Lippi's instructions, he approached Zheng Zhi and said.

"Hmm. I saw it too. Good work for you next. Zheng Zhi nodded and said.

"It's fine. I can't do anything else, running has always been my forte. Yan Feng smiled confidently.

"Hmm. Come on. ”

"Come on. ”

The No. 3 tactic of the Chinese team is a tactic that began to be practiced before the World Cup. It is a defensive tactic formulated according to Yan Feng's characteristics and abilities. And it is a tactic that only Yan Feng can make possible.

England continued to play Welbeck when they had the ball again after an effective attack.

And when Welbeck wanted to break through 5 again, he found that it was Yan Feng who came to help defend this time. Welbeck draws a gourd and wants to hit the bottom line again.

But this time, with Yan Feng's assistance, Zhang 5 only needed to focus on preventing Welbeck from bottoming. As a result, Welbeck's bottom this time failed to get rid of Zhang 5's defense. Welbeck was forced to stop at the bottom line, but was soon surrounded by Yan Feng coming over. Welbeck, who was surrounded near the corner flag, missed England's attacking chance.

After Yan Feng came to the right to help Zhang 5, England switched to Rashford's side when they attacked again. But when Rashford was about to attack Jiang Zhipeng's defense, he found that Yan Feng was back here. Rashford, who was afraid of Yan Feng, had no choice but to pass the ball to his teammates.

After several transfers, when the ball came to Welbeck's feet again, Yan Feng switched positions with Zheng Zhi again. Welbeck once again forced a strong 5.Due to the posture of defending the bottom, Welbeck chose to cut inside. Welbeck managed to cut inside, but he didn't get a chance to get his feet. Yan Feng and Mei Fang flanked him. Yan Feng, who was faster, poked the ball out from Welbeck's feet.

England failed again in attack.

England's successive attacks were fruitless. Southgate began to scratch his head. The current England team has well avoided the strongest central middle of the Chinese team. But England's wings couldn't fly together. Yan Feng used his extraordinary speed and running ability to successfully help his teammates carry the wing attack of the England team.

"This Chinese Yan is really '''Okay. I have to admit that he surprised me immensely. It's just that he comes back and runs around like this, how long can he last? I don't believe that the Chinese team can rely on him to hold on all the time. Southgate sees the crux of the matter. He didn't think that Yan Feng could carry the Chinese team all the time. He didn't think Yan Feng could last long if he ran so hard.

Next, Southgate reluctantly found that Yan Feng could really last a long time. When the time came to 70 minutes, Yan Feng still showed no signs of fatigue and couldn't run. On the contrary, it was England's Kane, Alli and other starters who began to be affected by the decline in fitness.

Because it is not easy for the England team to break through the defense of the Chinese team. Kane's chances were a world away from the first half. There were fewer chances, and they weren't as good as they were in the first half, and Kane couldn't take them in his hurry. Kane couldn't take the chance, and Ali wanted to come by himself. But in the face of Yan Feng's defense, his reluctant long-range shot was not a threat.

Seeing this, Southgate made another substitution. This time he replaced Kane, who was a frequent waster of chances. He was replaced by veteran Wayne Rooney. Hopefully, with Rooney's experience, we can take advantage of the opportunities that have become fewer.

In response, Lippi also made a substitution. However, he did not replace the defenders. Instead, Gao Lin, who was at the forefront and lacked the ability to solve the last kick, was removed. was replaced by Zhang Yuning, who is younger and more able to carry.

England replaced Wayne Rooney to improve the attack, and Lippi believed that with a defense led by Yan Feng, he could hold up no matter who he faced. Changing Zhang Yuning is also about improving the attack and creating more pressure on the England team.

Rooney is really experienced, with a sharper sense of movement and smell. It's just that Yan Feng and his teammates also didn't give him any chance. He didn't get many opportunities, and it was just as hard to take them.

After the Chinese team replaced Zhang Yuning, the support point at the front point was even harder. Zhang Yuning's rhythm and confrontation are better, although he does not have the coquettish passing ability of Gao Fei. However, as a foothold, he can still bear it. The Chinese team's attack has also been strengthened. However, with England's equally tenacious and rougher defence, the forwards were unable to take their chances.

Lippi responded with a modest adjustment that cost England the advantage in the second half. And after Yan Feng's sudden appearance and repeated setbacks to the England team's attack, it hit the confidence of the England team greatly. After that, the Chinese team took the opportunity to equalize the disadvantage and formed a level match.

Yan Feng's appearance was a complete boost to the Chinese team. And with his hard work, the Chinese team did not give the England team any chance. When Lippi asked Yan Feng to defend with all his might, the England team finally failed to break through the Chinese team's goal.

In the end, the two sides shook hands 0:0.
