964 Key position, a sword to seal the throat.
964 Key position, a sword to seal the throat.
All eyes on it!
That's how Lampard got on the pitch.
He couldn't have felt better.
Even for a moment, he felt that he was back in the time when he was twenty-seven or eighteen.
Back to the peak state of the Blues magic lamp that no one can ignore!
He looked at the sky.
The night sky of Brazil.
It's beautiful.
'Frank Lampard is on! He was replaced by Henderson! ”
Commentator Lightkinson said with his spirits up.
There was still a long time to go, England were just one goal behind!
Just equalize!
The top of the group is England's.
Frank Lampard came on and the England players were in a circle.
The captain's armband was worn on Gerrard's arm, but Gerrard was full of respect for Frank Lampard, just like any other England player.
The crowd put their arms around each other's shoulders.
Captain Gerard is doing pre-war mobilization!!
With a roar!
The players press down in unison and then high-five each other!
On the pitch, it's all that needs passion.
In front of the camera, Gerrard and Frank Lampard hugged each other.
"England's double Germany! The question that has been a headache for many coaches, can Shuangde coexist? Let's take a look at the last World Cup they played together! ”
Duan Xuan said with some emotion.
"Perhaps, in the hands of Coach Gao Bo, he has a way to make the two virtues coexist?"
On the sidelines, Pinto called several Costa Rican players on the field to the sidelines at this time, and it was appropriate to teach them face-to-face.
'Watch out for Frank Lampard, don't let him shoot in the box!'
Pinto said.
"The focus is still on Rooney!"
"Got it!"
The Costa Rican players nodded.
Frank Lampard.
A thirty-six-year-old veteran.
Don't worry!!
.....
England took the lead in the second half.
In fact, Costa Rica have largely given up on attacking, so it was easy for England to pass the ball up front.
But the question is... The ball is passed to the front, but in the face of such a dense defense, how to break through the opponent's goal?
England looked for opportunities on both flanks.
Frank Lampard seems to have been more of a central player in attack when he came on.
Gerrard, on the other hand, appears to have a bit more range of movement, looking for long-range opportunities from the edge of the box.
In fact, Gao Bo did not think about the question of how to coexist between the two virtues.
The reason why it is difficult for the two virtues to coexist is because they are too similar!
Both are textbook England centre-backs.
Able to attack and defend well, his feet are very hard!
But in reality, there are still slight differences between them.
Gerrard's shot was powerful and unreasonable.
Frank Lampard, on the other hand, was a little more showy in his shooting skills.
It's a headache for any team to have two players with almost the same function on the pitch at the same time, but they're just as good.
However, this problem is not a problem in Gao Bo's hands.
Because, he has cards.
He can use cards to enhance a certain part of each of the two players, placing them in different tactical positions.
Steven Gerrard was looking for an opening from outside the box, while Lampard... It's about using his offensive ability in the back row.
The reason why Frank Lampard was able to score so many goals was due to the timing of his insertion in the back row!
The forty-eighth minute of the game!
England get their chance on the left.
Adam White smashed the ball with his left foot and sent a through kick, Luke Shaw grasped the timing well, and after successfully setting it, the inverted triangle passed back to Adam White's feet!
Adam White doesn't stop the ball and shoots directly with his right foot, hitting the defender's foot except for the bottom line!
The fifty-third minute of the game!
Gerrard took a cross from Raheem Sterling on the right and fired a shot that was brought down the side by defender Brightness!
England were awarded a free-kick in front of the pitch and Brenes was shown a yellow card for it.
"England were fierce in the second half!!"
Lightkinson said with some excitement.
Pinto was a little nervous, and the only good news for him was... Frank Lampard, who came on as a substitute, did not show much for the time being.
This may show that the other party's adjustment this time is useless.
And England's opening onslaught was to be expected.
Therefore, Pinto stood on the sidelines, the expression on his face was still relatively calm.
Wayne Rooney comes to kick the free-kick.
The soccer ball went around the human wall, but unfortunately it also flew over the beam.
Rooney shoots straight at goal..... Slightly above the beam, it's a pity! ”
On the commentary seat, Duan Xuan's body leaned back slightly.
After completing the shot, Rooney also shook his head, hurriedly moved forward, and hit the top of the arc of the penalty area, just waiting for Navas to drive the ball out, and immediately pressed forward.
The game goes on minute by minute!
England's attacks were launched from both flanks, frequently attacking the Costa Rican penalty area, but there were not many attacks that really threatened the Costa Rican goal.
The iron bucket formation is still difficult to break.
Especially for Costa Rica, which is now full of confidence and single-minded defense to defend itself to a one-zero lead, it is even more difficult.
Pinto is now back in the dugout.
Frank Lampard came on as a point of contact up front and didn't play much of a role.
England, on the other hand, is getting used to the offensive on both sides, and the threat level is gradually decreasing.
After all, Costa Rica's players are not fools, and England mainly play on two sides, so they will naturally make corresponding adjustments.
The pace of the game seems to have slowed down.
Seventy-sixth minute of the game.
Milner in the middle of the pitch took the ball and went straight into the box, and Rooney took the ball with his back.
Costa Rica's centre-back Gamboa wanted to squeeze Rooney out, but Rooney clearly had the upper hand in the fight of power.
Rooney looked up and saw that the box was densely packed with Costa Rican defenders.
In desperation, he had to do the ball back!
"Gerrard !!"
Lightkinson, the narrator, roared suddenly.
I saw that Gerald was already with a bow and arrows, ready to shoot from a distance!!
Costa Rica's players don't dare to slack off!
Central defender Duarte pressed up and stretched out his foot to block!
Bang!
The loud sound was so loud that even the fans in front of the TV could hear it clearly, which showed the power of this shot!
The soccer ball hit Duarte's leg and bounced!
Pinto breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, his pupils shrank!
Frank Lampard!!
Frank Lampard, who was ignored by everyone!!
Frank Lampard seems to have disappeared on the pitch!
At this moment!
Appeared in the most critical position!
Everything that follows seems to be a smooth chapter!
Frank Lampard got the most comfortable shot from inside the box!
There is no one to defend!
He stopped the ball with his left foot and pushed it with his right foot!
Aim for the far corner!
With such a shot, Navas has no way to do it.
The soccer ball bounced into the goal!
