Having wasted two good opportunities in a row, Sterling's psychological pressure at the moment is very high. He knows very well what they will say about him after the game with the urine sex of the British media.

It can be said that at this moment, Sterling's mentality has collapsed a little, and he has no confidence in shooting at all. If I do this again or twice, I'm afraid that I will fall into a demon for a long time and will not be able to recover.

Rashford also understood Sterling's situation, patted him on the shoulder and walked away without saying a word.

The game was not interrupted, and Australia continued to launch a counter-attack towards the England goal after the goal, but it was still unable to pose any threat and the ball fell to the feet of the England team again.

England launched another quick counter-attack and Jordan Henderson delivered a penetrating pass down the right flank. Raheem Sterling was working hard to run the pitch, but he was clearly not in good shape at the moment, and was knocked off the touchline by an Australian defender.

England won a touchline ball up front, Henderson quickly tossed the ball to Lallana, who combined with Sterling to break into the box after a wall linkup, but Sterling's through ball failed to penetrate the Australian defence, making Sterling's run useless.

However, Lallana, who has played under Uncle Scum for most of the season and has improved a lot, has developed the habit of pressing in a high position, and he immediately pressed the Australian players, which caught the Australian defender Rokic off guard, and was stabbed away from his feet by Lallana.

Drinker Goldwater's catch of Lallana's poking ball and passing it to Marcus Rashford in front of him.

Marcus Rashford found that Sterling in front of him was in a good position, as his pull out created a gap of almost 10 metres between Australia's two centre-backs, and Rashford slid the ball through the gap and completely penetrated the Australian defence.

At this time, if it was Sterling in a normal state, as long as he rushed up, it would be another one-on-one chance to face the goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, Raheem Sterling had clearly not woken up from his previous nightmare and could not score from the gap in the first place, and the ball was stabbed by the Australian player first.

However, Sterling's up-and-coming still affected the possession of Australian defender Wright, who failed to control the ball well, allowing Drinkwater, who followed up, to seize the opportunity and kick the ball.

However, Drinkwater's shot was too eager to be finished, and he didn't control it well, and he actually slammed into Jedinak's body and bounced high.

The ball then fell to the feet of the outnumbered Australian defenders.

There was a sigh at the Stadium of Light.

………………

The game then went into a stalemate, and although Australia was already three goals behind, they didn't mean to admit it at all, and they still played back and forth with England, and the scene was very open.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Australian players, the team is already 3:0 behind anyway, and there is no point in being conservative, but it is better to play against England, at least after the game, it will not be said that it will be admitted.

Although Australia did not defend at the back, their defense against Rashford was significantly stronger. They have seen that Raheem Sterling was in terrible form on the pitch today and that there was nothing loose in defence over there.

Because the English players took the lead early, the investment in attack at this time was obviously not as big as before, and the scene was suddenly controlled by Australia.

It wasn't until the 24th minute that England went on the offensive again.

Bertrand played a personal ball against the Australian player on the left side of the pitch, which led to a pull-down and England won a free-kick almost parallel to the line of the penalty area and close to the left touchline.

The free-kick was not well placed and three goals had already been scored, so Rashford did not choose to send a free-kick, and it was Bertrand who ended up delivering it.

Bertrand hoisted the ball into Australia's penalty area, and Rashford did not fight for the landing point under heavy guarding, but his rush still disrupted Australia's penalty area, resulting in a mistake in the clearance of the Australian defender at the back post, but unfortunately, Henderson's follow-up shot was kicked again on the Australian defender.

………………

Although Australia's attack has invested a lot of troops, they lack a player who can make the final decision, so it has been thundering and raining.

Instead, they conceded possession and played defensive counter-attacking England to pose a frequent threat to Australia's goal.

This is all thanks to Rashford's ability, although he has been surrounded by two or three Australian defenders, there are few shots, but now he can pass suddenly, and the ability to protect the ball is also very strong, and he can mess up the Australian defence alone, allowing Sterling and Lallana to get a lot of opportunities.

However, due to the lack of tacit understanding with Rashford, their performance appeared to be very sluggish, and they missed good opportunities again and again, leaving the England fans in front of the stadium and the TV to sigh.

In fact, this is largely due to the football star system, as players for Liverpool and Manchester City, Lallana and Sterling are both hostile to Rashford in their hearts, which can be seen from their negative intimacy with Rashford.

And this kind of hostility has caused their strength to be weakened to a certain extent, and they are all in their early 80s, but in fact, they can only exert their abilities of about 77 to 78, which makes their kick at the door seem very outrageous.

This made Hodgson's face on the sidelines a little unpleasant. Because he once coached Liverpool for a short time, although this period was only half a year, although the results were difficult to say good, Hodgson always had more good feelings for players from Liverpool, and what was shown in action was to give more opportunities to players from Liverpool.

Just like in this game, he used a lot of players from Liverpool, and for this reason, he even pressed the captain of the national team, Wayne Rooney, on the bench.

In fact, if it weren't for Marcus Rashford's outstanding performance this season, his previous performances in the national team, and the lack of reliable defenders at the back, Hodgson would not have wanted to give Rashford and Smalling a chance.

But as a result, the players from Liverpool who he had high hopes for, whether it was Sterling or Lallana, although they seemed very positive on the field, the state they showed was really a little unsure of how to evaluate.
