"The media said we didn't play well in the warm-up and suspected that something was wrong with us", Capello said calmly in the dressing room, "but I don't think so, although we have some guys who didn't make it to South Africa, you guys are the best"

England's players are silently sorting out their equipment and checking every detail, and their start today is half with World Cup experience and half without experience.

England has actually reluctantly started a renewal, and this will also be the last World Cup for many veterans in the team, but the expectations of the media and the stars are at their final peak, so many people have not noticed.

'Their Donovan and Dempsey have a lot of skill at their feet and they have a lot of range of movement in the wings, so our wingers have to be more protective of both of them'

Capello pointed to the route that had already been drawn on the tactical board and continued: "Mark, Carrick, you must control the midfield, once you lose the ball, you will fight back on the spot"

Compared to the attack, Capello is more worried that once he moves Mark Qin out of midfield, England's attack will fall into chaos again.

Without Mackqin, they really couldn't organize any decent offense except for fighting high and fighting physically.

"We've watched the video of the qualifiers over and over again in the last few days, remember how we felt when we won before, don't panic"

"I don't need to say much about the importance of this game for us to qualify from the group, bring out your best form"

Capello waved his hand, and everyone in England clapped their hands and shouted GOGO and rushed out of the locker room, the referee from Brazil had already been waiting in the tunnel with the referee team.

The time had already pointed to half past eight in the evening, and the buzz was much louder than it had been during the warm-up.

"England fans, the game is about to start, and the two pairs of players have already started to enter," Lineker said excitedly as he looked at the live signal.

It's a multi-purpose stadium, but the surrounding runway is covered with some turf to make the whole look a little more beautiful.

South Africa's Rustenburg has a brighter, unpolluted night sky due to its higher altitude, and the bustling stadium is dotted with bright stars as it is about to open Group C.

Makqin walked into the stadium in the middle of the line, dressed in white jerseys and the U.S. team in black.

After almost a month of waiting, England fans finally waited for their home team's first game, shouting and cheering, but unfortunately they were all drowned out in the hustle and bustle of Zula.

Capello came out with the team at the end, walked to the coach's box, and soon the national anthem of the two countries began to be played.

"Boom" sounded, and the buzz Zula reached a climax, and Gerard and Captain America Cherundolo had already begun to pick and guess the coin, and the game was about to start.

At this time, the starting lineups of the two teams were played in the live broadcast signal, and the players of the two teams also began to move towards their own half, England started from left to right, and the starting lineup of the United States was as follows:

Goalkeeper: Howard

Defenders: Bocanegra, Oneu, Demerit, Cherundolo

Midfielders: Donovan, Clark, Bradley Jr., Dempsey

Forwards: Finley, Altidore

Duan Xuan looked at the starting list and said: "Although most of the players in the United States are not very popular, but their football has developed quite rapidly over the years, these starting 11 people, basically all of them play in the Premier League and the Bundesliga, they are the main players of the middle and lower teams, and their strength is really not to be underestimated."

"That's right," says Sun, "I've met a lot of them in the Premier League, they know the style of English football very well and are very adaptable"

At this time, the two strikers of the United States had already stepped on the ball in the center circle, and the referee from Brazil had already put the whistle in his mouth and was looking up at his watch.

Makqin stood outside the top of the arc of the center circle and jumped up and down a few times, twisting his waist again, full of anticipation.

At this time, he was full of hunger for the field as when he was first substituted by Benitez in the league.

Although the stadium is not luxurious, and the opponent can't talk about how much inner challenge he can bring, but this is the World Cup! , and that's enough, this is where every legend cannot be absent.

Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Bobby Charlton, Zidane, Ronaldo, there are too many names here.

There are so many peaks waiting for him to set foot on and conquer one by one, and here, there is no one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world!

"Beep ......", with the referee's whistle, the game began, and the wind rose in South Africa.

Marc chased the ball forward quickly, he hadn't played in midfield for almost half a season, but it wasn't a problem for him, it was as natural as eating and drinking.

"Audience friends, the first game of Group C began, and the United States team wearing black jerseys started attacking from right to left", Duan Xuan explained, "We are familiar with Mackin still wearing England's No. 18 shirt, and England began to press all over the field at the beginning"

The ball came to the feet of defender Demerit, who is the captain of Watford in the Premier League, and in the face of Rooney's pressing, he did not panic and passed diagonally to the retreating right midfielder Donovan.

Milner's running ability is very strong, but his defense is really a two-knife from a technical point of view, but it is very shaky, and it is more a hard work to be able to play.

Donovan's technique at his feet is very good, and he let the overly fierce Milner pounce with a flick of his back, and then turn around and kick more than 30 meters to the ground directly to the striker Altidore who has his back in front of him.

Doesn't it sound familiar, this is exactly the way the middle and lower teams of the Premier League play, the striker fulcrum, holding the ball, and then inserting it in the midfield, without advancing at all.

This foot on the earth directly crossed the line between Mackin and Lampard, and Carrick did not block it, and really let Altidore carry Terry on his back and hold it.

The 21-year-old is tall and strong in the Premier League, and he wouldn't have been able to do the job.

Terry hurriedly squeezed his body forward to increase the physical confrontation, so that Altidore could not handle the ball easily, otherwise the England back line was so high that it was easy to be beaten behind.

"Altidore, I want to give Finley, Dempsey is inserting quickly, the ball is a little crooked, and the midfield scramble between the two sides is very fierce at the beginning", Duan Xuan said.

After the ball left Altidore's feet, neither side could control the ball, and several tackles were made back and forth near the centre circle before being touched off the touchline by the USA.

Mark ran to meet the throw-in and was immediately marked by Clark, who pointed to the retreating Ledley King and let Glen Johnson send the ball back to the back line.

At this time, from the shot, one of the strikers and two fullbacks of the United States team quickly retracted, and the two backs were on top, directly forming a pentagonal shape to tightly wrap England's back area.

The purpose is clear, to force England to play a straight long pass like them, and abolish Mackin's organization.

The ball bounced between the two centre-backs and the goalkeeper and came to the feet of Ashley Cole, who was about to push it to Mackin when Altidore came over and blocked the pass.

That's it, the World Cup.

Not to mention the level of qualifying, the game was a-for-tat battle from the first minute.

"The U.S. team scrambles fiercely, Cole looks for Rooney in front of him with a big foot, Demeritt follows him closely, heading the ball, and starts to scramble in the half of the U.S. team"

Huzzula was shouting one after another in the stands, and Britain and the United States were fighting one after another on the field.

Capello frowned as he propped on the pergola of the dugout, and the U.S. wanted to pull England into the same rhythm as them.

The United States' style of play is a bit like Ukraine in the qualifiers, the fight is very tough, it is directly to fight with you physically, and then rely on the front court to seize the opportunity, abolish your own midfield and abolish your midfield at the same time.

Mourinho's philosophy has become even more prevalent as he has risen to the top, and the world has always believed in winners.

"Don't keep moving forward, be steady", this time it was the US team's backfield throw-in, Mackin hurriedly communicated with his teammates in the backcourt, except for Terry, he felt their nervousness.

Johnson, Ledley King and even Cole, as soon as they are forced to kick off, Carrick has no response at Manchester United, this psychological quality deserves to be called the ×× team in Europe.

As soon as you arrive at the competition, your feet will be soft! I don't know if it's related to the tense atmosphere caused by Capello, Mackin doesn't have time to think about it now.

"To Mark, to Mark", Capello finally couldn't sit still, and after a direct pass from the United States was directly confiscated by Green, he ran to the sidelines and shouted, otherwise Green is estimated to be another big foot.

"Michael (Carrick), go pick up", Makqin pointed out, this used to be Barry's job, receiving the ball and looking for opportunities to hand it to him or split the side, all 27 years old, how to play stupid.

He wasn't alone, as the ball finally reached Mark through Green Johnson at the back, and he shook his back and shook off Dempsey and headed straight for the centre circle.

Taking advantage of Dempsey's failure to catch up with a left-footed dunk, he passed to Frank Lampard in the opposite direction, and then cut straight behind Clark, but Lampard was still steady and sent it with a straight push.

"Mark, two-by-one, good ball, Bradley Jr. and Donovan came up, follow really tightly, good ball, two-over-one in a row", when Cole pushed straight and then sent it to Mackin's feet, Lineker shouted excitedly, as soon as the expert shot, he knew if there was one.

The crowd was also excited, and most of the neutral fans came to see his performance.

Before the game, their coach arranged Rooney's marking to only let a defender close, but for Macqin, he arranged five people in the midfield to wrap up at any time, and cut off his receiving route!

Right-back Bocanegra immediately came up to block, and the width of the American 442 formation was very narrow, and the defense was one after another, obviously putting your wing to block your midfield.

Before Bocanegra, he stepped on the ball with his right foot and pulled back, then turned and pressed his back firmly against his chest, and his left foot quickly followed and then slammed on the back heel.

The whole action was done in one go, and the ball went directly behind Bocanegra, finally breaking through the defense of the American team.

"Wonderful ball, good chance", Lineker immediately became excited, and he felt more and more that what Mackin brought to England was definitely not as simple as just an organizational midfielder.

Milner quickly stepped in, and the U.S. backline instantly gave up their defenders and had to go to block the area first.

"Pass the back point!" , Mackin turned around and shouted, the American team's formation tightened, and he saw the gap in Gerrard at the far end of the big penalty area at a glance, and the pass was a half-empty goal.

Capello subconsciously clenched his fists, "Good ball, Milner caught up, there is no defender around him, England's chance", Sun Jihai said expectantly.

Milner was indeed very realistic, he heard Mackin shouting, and then without thinking about it, he passed it straight away.

But Mark Qin preferred that he didn't shout, looking at the ball flying out of bounds directly over the goal crossbar, and he was tired.

Capello directly raised his arm angrily, turned around and sat back in the coach's seat, babbling endlessly!

It is estimated that it is not for the players sitting next to them, and words such as F**K must be endless.

After passing the ball, Milner also fell out of the bottom line, but you can imagine how hard he kicked it, and he was still nervous!

Hey, don't want to be tired......
