Volume 6 Chapter 58 Something Strange

The camera firmly locked on Mackin from the first appearance of the players on both sides, and some individual TV stations kept replaying the shocking stunner he scored in the World Cup final in South Africa in the picture-in-picture.

And many journalists from various countries on the sidelines are also busy with cameras and cameras, June 24, today, there is only one focus on football and even sports in the world.

Bath Arena, burning like fire, fans on both sides are shouting wildly, this stadium that can only accommodate 50,000 people naturally can't accommodate all the fans, especially for the two big European football countries.

"Good luck, Xavi (Alonso)", Mack smiled and hugged him, then patted him on the back, just politely, of course, if Alonso is too lucky, he himself will be unlucky.

"Hey, I don't want to lose at your feet again today", Alonso also replied with a smile, if you have played too many times, it will be difficult to be tense before the game no matter what, compared to before, Mackin and these Barcelona and Real Madrid players are not familiar with each other.

"Then we'll see, hey", past Alonso, he shook hands with Xavi and Butskec in order, and the rest of the task was Gerrard and Cassichai, and the game began.

All the pre-game tidbits are now in their opinion, just see you on the field.

The air that was not cool in the summer night was also scorched a little hot, and the lights of the ring field were turned down, and the red and white people shone the same black shadows, intertwining on the field.

As the last England player shook hands, there was an even louder roar in the stadium stands, with Steven Gerrard walking towards the referee with the flag and Mack Qin running swiftly towards his own half.

"BBC guys, the third quarter-final of the 2012 Euro Championship between Poland and Ukraine, where Group C winners Spain take on Group D runners-up England, will start soon," Lineker said.

"The starting line-ups of both teams, we have just introduced them, all the English fans are expecting us to reach the final, so tonight is the most important night!"

"Yes", Wilson continued, "Mark said before the game that Spain is still one of the best teams in world football today, and this game is no less than a final"

"But that's football, to win trophies, you don't have the right to pick your opponents, you have to do your best to defeat every enemy who stands in your way"

At this time, Mackin and Carroll had already walked into the arc of the middle circle and were ready to kick off, and the referee of today's law enforcement was the famous referee Rizzoli from Italy, who looked at his hand and had already put the whistle in his mouth.

Capello and Bosque, two veteran coaches who are more than 100 years old, stood on the sidelines together, waiting for the start of the game, and their hearts were somewhat nervous.

The whistle is coming!

The Spanish players from outside the arc of the centre circle started quickly and ran towards their goals in all directions, as they usually do, fighting for the ball with their lives.

In this Cup, due to the withdrawal of veteran Puyol from the national team, Ramos finally played from right-back to central defender, and also started the road of "water master".

The two full-backs, Bosque used Barcelona's Alba and Real Madrid's Arbeloa, in all fairness, weaker than the two fullbacks of Capuarela and Ramos in South Africa, so this Bosque has to control the rhythm to death.

England weren't too busy because of Spain's quick build-up, and they were well prepared for Spain's style.

"Okay, the game has officially started", Zhan Jun commented at this time, "England took the lead and Mr. Ma handed the ball to Ferdinand at the back line"

England did not withdraw the overall defensive line too far back, because Spain's speed forwards did not go up, and for the small men in the midfield, they were all flexible, and the absolute speed could not be said to be particularly fast.

Barry stood firmly in front of the two defenders, forming an iron triangle, and then Rooney, Frank Lampard, and Gerrard lined up in front, with Mackin and Carroll in front.

From the perspective of formation, it is more like 41311, blocking the middle, defending the two wings, bullying Spain without a strong center, and the end of the game will return to the middle.

Seeing Cesc Fabregas pounce on him ferociously, Ferdinand simply drove to the front court to find Carol with a big kick according to the way he played in training, and Capello put him up to do this.

At this time, Rooney and Gerrard looked at the ball in the air, judged the possibility of Carroll being controlled, and began to disperse to both sides and press forward.

Today's requirements for their round-trip ability are quite high, and the side attack, assisting in the defense of the side, and defending the middle are all completed by their running.

Including Frank Lampard, they are a meat grinder between Barry's last line of midfield defence and Mackin as the first line of midfield defence.

Of course, although the formation is arranged in this way, when it really starts, the running positions of the likes of Mackqin, Rooney and Gerrard are quite flexible, and whether the midfield can run smoothly depends mainly on the three of them.

The ball flew directly to the Spanish backfield, and Carroll relied on her physical advantage to resist Ramos, then jumped up and pushed the ball in the direction of Macklin.

"Bang", the rushing Makqin didn't even stop the ball, and before Butskec came up, he rushed up with a volley of nearly 45 meters, which surprised everyone!

"Carroll, header swing back, Mark, shot ......", Lineker was also jumped, subconsciously shouted.

Capello showed the role of Mackqin's premise, in the whole team, no one judged the ball and landing point better than Macqin, he and Carroll, if they were connected well, they could disturb the Spanish backline, supplemented by Rooney and Gerrard's insertion, playing Spain, never using too many attackers, there are too many people, but it is easy to get bad.

"Huh", Zhang Lu watched the ball fly out of the field, not only high above the crossbar but also off, smiled and said, "Mr. Ma wants to scare people again, and almost bluffed Cassie"

Casillas was indeed jumped just now, he was not far from the position of the door at all, even if Macqin hit the target, he had enough time to deal with it, but Macqin hit too suddenly, it still inevitably made him panic and almost tripped himself.

"Hey, this is also what Mr. Ma is good at", Huang Jianxiang said with a smile, "Many stars who have played with Mr. Ma have said that the most troublesome thing about Mr. Ma is that it is difficult for you to guess what he is going to do next, he has too many arsenals, and his thinking is also wild, and he can't prevent it"

Moreover, judging from the analysis of many commentators, Mackin is especially good at psychological warfare on the field, and his grasp of the "momentum" on the field may be the best among the active players.

It's a higher level than what you can see on the pitch, it's something that belongs to the coach, and his pattern is not just limited to the tactics of passing and shooting, but on a much bigger level.

There are too few people in the frontcourt, so Mackin was not ready to control the ball at all just now, he played a fast, if Rooney and Gerrard on both sides could burst up, he would pick a pass, but if he didn't burst up, he wouldn't hesitate, Carroll's foot ball he wouldn't give, because there was no point.

All the Spanish players felt a little abrupt because this is not the England they are familiar with in South Africa, how can it feel like traditional England?

Cassie took a short goal kick, Alba dribbled the ball until midfield and was intercepted, and it was Mackin who intercepted, symbolically, but when Alba passed the ball to the middle, England was like a tiger out of the gate, and quickly pounced.

Whether it's Alonso, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Silva, on the wing, I'll let you go, but as long as you dare to go to the middle, it's very difficult for you to turn.

"Arbeloa, no chance, the cross is ......", Zhan Jun explained, "There is no one in the middle, Fabregas is still outside, Ferdinand's easy header is knocked back to Joe Hart"

The English fans in the stands have been shouting and cheering, and the Spanish fans are naturally not far behind, but no one has paid attention, just now Spain has been on the periphery for almost 5 minutes to form this cross.

They felt that the tempo was extremely slow, and when Spain attacked, England were guarding the middle of the 35-metre area, and you could do whatever you wanted.

It was a direct contest of patience and perseverance, and from the very beginning it entered a psychological contest that could be the most tense and boring confrontation for neutral fans.

No punches, no limb flying, just space, constraints, and turns!

"England kept it really well", Huang Jianxiang praised, "they stuck almost all the space in the middle, and Spain's inverted ball looked inefficient"

Joe Hart is ready to play big, and now they don't play any short ball possession, and Mackin is not ready to fight Spain like in the South African final.

Once he played him, he knew that the overall passing gap could not be solved by him alone, and in South Africa, Capello's second-half tactics worked wonders, although many people credited Macqin with a brilliant strike.

So this time Capello's tactical arrangement, he unconditionally supports, and he doesn't know how to play without possession, his running, his judgment of the second landing point, and his touch of the ball are all world-class.

"Carroll, grabbed the first point again, and gave it to Mr. Ma," Zhan Jun said, but Buzkets and Alonso also quickly pressed over, they are also experienced stars, what should be paid attention to in the defense of the natural way.

But Mackin volleyed directly to the side and brought the ball to the side, where it was Gerrard who frantically stepped forward along the side, and that kind of impact made Alba a little uncomfortable.

Fresh out of the rotation at Barcelona, he was clearly unprepared for the kind of onslaught, with Gerrard doing no extra moves at all, just relying on his body to make a run down the flanks.

"Gerrard, he's fast, Alba can't keep up, he can't limit the physical confrontation, good ball", Lineker shouted, "Rushing into the area of 30 meters, Gerrard turned his head and glanced at the penalty area, and it was a big foot cross"

Well? , Bosque frowned, England is going to play the traditional shock style to the death, can they bear to give up the strongest ability of Mackqin?

Carroll, who followed in the middle, strode up, met the ball, jumped high, and even a head higher than Ramos, although not close to the goal, it was still a favorable header to hit the goal!

"Oh ......", the ball flew high off the crossbar, first, it was too far away, but Ramos carried it and did not hit it, but this time the goal still ushered in the cheers of the English fans in the stands.

Don't care if you don't enter, look at it and boost morale!

Alba snorted, knowing he had made a mistake, and between him and Enrique, Bosque chose him because he came from La Masia, better than Enrique's possession and small skills, Enrique was more of England's kind of full-back, strong up and down.

But Spain doesn't have a center forward now, what's the use of a wingback who is so fast.

To say that Enrique is also very depressed, although he went to Barcelona, he is still not very popular in the Spanish national team, and if he wants to get a start here, the skill at his feet is the first.

Just like Juanfrán, no matter how well he plays at Atletico Madrid, he still can't compete with the inconspicuous Arbelloa, because Arbelloa controls the ball steadily.

"Good ball", Mark Qin, who ran up, slapped Carol, who had successfully competed for the top, "Next time you smash it down, these people can't compete with you......"

Carroll nodded confidently, although the opponent is very strong, but in terms of body and header, he feels like scum......
