Volume IV Volume XIII Tranquilizers

"Oh ......", the England fans in the stands hugged their heads in disbelief, looking sluggish, the ball was similar to the previous opportunity created by the American team.

As long as you hit the right, you will undoubtedly score, but I didn't expect Rooney to fly away, looking at the ball flying far away from the stands, how much effort this kid has to use, there is a plastic track behind the goal.

"Oh my God, Rooney didn't score, is this really Rooney?" , Duan Xuan was surprised, "Didn't any amateur player come in with makeup?" ”

"It's too hard, he can actually pad this foot lightly", Sun Jihai said, "It's a waste of a wonderful biography of Mr. Ma"

Rooney walked back with a black face after landing on the ground, this kid usually giggles, but when his temper comes up, he is very irritable, and basically no one can care about that.

Obviously, this is a temper, and he didn't even make a gesture of apology to Mackin and his teammates, and with his reputation as England's golden boy for so many years, Capello couldn't show much dissatisfaction.

If this is Milner, it is estimated that Capello will jump directly to scold his mother, and then consider substitutions, there are a total of three games in the group stage, and the result of a goal may be heaven and earth.

Otherwise, why so many teams who have lost Jingzhou carelessly in the World Cup, because this is not a chance for you to adjust your form at all.

'There were four changes in the starting line-up, but England have to find their form quickly, it's the World Cup and there aren't so many opportunities for us to squander,' Lineker said.

The U.S. team was also taken aback, and after restarting the game, they tightened their grip and guard against Macklin.

The pitch became a classic battle of control and counter-attack, with England trying to keep the game under control, but as soon as they made the slightest passing error, the USA would immediately get the ball up front and create chances with Dempsey and Donovan's individual ability to take the ball.

The strength of the teams in the World Cup is often not as disparity as imagined, and there are very few teams that can enter the World Cup, even if you have rarely heard the name of the national team before.

Coupled with the venue, the team's form, and the lack of familiarity with the opponents, this kind of tournament has always been a hotbed of underdogs, just as no one would have dared to think of a Greek miracle.

After a period of ball control, the England players are slowly recovering, especially the newcomers, who are not as nervous and flustered as they were at the beginning.

England's chances are gradually increasing, and the most important thing now is to score the first goal, and with the goal and the win, the player's self-confidence will only grow.

At this time, the 19-year-old Makqin was the calmest on the field, which had to make people sigh, but who knew that he had been adding up to more than 40 years, and at this time he became a tranquilizer on the field.

"Mark, he and Carrick stole Finley's ball, and England blocked this through ball counterattack from the United States," Duan said.

Carrick received the ball from behind Mackin and quickly handed it to Johnson on the wing, dodging the counter-attack of the American team on the spot, and England immediately switched from defense to attack.

Carrick began to slowly calm down and make the most of his role at United, splitting the ball between the two wings in an instant manner, which was a very important way to deal with pressing down the middle.

In the event that an opponent is seriously ill and blocks your midfield advance, the two full-backs play an important role in pushing the ball through midfield, not only to widen it but also to create space for the midfielders.

Johnson burst forward with the ball and passed to Gerrard who was running on the sideline in front of him, and England's ground passes and organised attacks were increasing.

"Gerrard took the ball on the side, and now England is slowly stabilizing, which is a good phenomenon", the hearts of England fans who had been hanging for a long time finally slowly relaxed.

'Steven Gerrard, dribble to the bottom line, Wayne Rooney, Rooney runs to the corner of the box and Lampard gets into the box'

After the passing was stabilized, the ability of the English players to run was slowly revealed, after all, these are all superstars, even if they are not in good shape, the lower limit is there.

The tempo wasn't fast, but now they tried to make sure every pass was as missable as possible to give the U.S. a chance to counter-attack.

Gerrard pushed the ball with his left foot to Rooney with his back to Oney, who led the ball horizontally with his back to Oney and dribbled two steps outside the line of the penalty area, and just as Oneu's long legs came up, the outside of his left foot was distributed to Mackin who was inserted.

"Clark put a tackle, Mackin good ball, one turned to protect the ball, a long left-footed pass transferred the ball to Cole on the wing, Kerr went down and passed the ball back"

England are playing more and more patiently, without particularly good chances, and are not in a hurry to get the ball in front of goal.

"Milner, hand it over to Carrick in the back, Mark Qin is here, Carrick pushes directly, good ball", Duan Xuan shouted.

The back and forth tugging finally caused an oversight in the U.S. team's midfield, and Markqin cut in diagonally to catch the ball and face the defender directly.

Defender Demerritt hurriedly stepped forward to block, and was shaken by a smash with his left foot by Mackin and shook it, just to the left of the top of the arc of the penalty area.

The ball was rolling slowly, Bradley Jr. was frantically running over to fill the position, and Mackin curled a curling ball into the far corner with the inside of his right foot to complete his first World Cup shot.

"Macqin, smash the ball, shoot ......", Duan Xuan shouted, pulled out an end note, and the ball flew up controllably, showing off a beautiful arc, bypassing Howard, grazing the crossbar, and flying out.

"Oh, good ball, just a little bit, England's attack this time is very smooth, Mackqin's shot is in one go, they are playing better and better"

Sun Jihai nodded, "If you insist on playing like this, you will definitely be able to score, as long as England's strength plays normally, it is still a high probability event to win the American team."

"Good ball, good ball, just play like this", Makqin, who finished shooting, did not regret it, but turned back and clapped with his teammates who passed the ball just now to encourage morale, this is England in the qualifiers.

Capello also stood up and walked to the sidelines to applaud the players, captain Gerrard was not idle, the tense atmosphere was slowly calmed down, and the excitement was slowly rising.

"The USA continued to drive up front, Altidore grabbed the point again, rubbed it to Dempsey on the wing, the lad had a terrible header and body, and won Terry in a couple of aerial duels"

Now the U.S. team has a kind of mixed up posture like you hit you and I hit me, and Dempsey didn't break Johnson down the wing, but won a corner.

"Oh ......", Duan Xuan shouted, the corner kick was sent to the penalty area, followed by a powerful header, high above the crossbar, "Oneu, a tall central defender of 1.95 meters, grabbed the point under the three-man bag, Rooney came back to defend the corner"

The slow motion clearly shows Oney carrying Rooney and Terry, tough like Drogba, a violent headbutt!

"Whew", Ma Qin, who was standing on the edge of the penalty area, breathed a sigh of relief, the teams that can enter the World Cup still have two brushes, and set-piece tactics are obviously the key tactics of some weak teams.

England also practiced a lot, but Mackin didn't have a chance to play today, the U.S. team was very restful and defensive, basically achieved steady and ruthless, and did not give England any free kick opportunities.

Goal kicks.

Green followed Macklin's arm to remind that a diagonal pass from a big foot got the ball to Cole on the wing, as they found that the header looked like it couldn't compete with their American brothers.

Carrick hurried over to pick it up, took the ball and turned around, and quickly crossed to Mackin who ran towards him from the other half, and the foot of striker Finley came up one step later.

Dempsey and Clark followed closely to Mackin who ran towards the ball like a bug, believing that as soon as he got the ball, it was either a bag or a foul.

"Mark, Team USA is so dead with him, pretty, so fucking beautiful," Lineker suddenly shouted.

I saw that at the moment of receiving the ball, Ma Qin's left leg crossed the ball, ignored it, and turned directly to rush forward, looking from the live broadcast camera, it was like he took the two of them to turn a corner and directly let the ball out, and the effect was so good that people's scalps were numb.

The ball was like a straight break from the left, straight in front of Johnson on the right, and he followed up just right, striding through the half-pitch and making it empty.

"Good ball, good ball", Gary Neville also shouted, with this pass, the momentum of England's attack suddenly rose, and it was obvious that several people in the front field had accelerated their running.

"Johnson continued to advance with the ball, USA captain Cherundolo came up, good chance, USA's right side defense was out of position, Johnson, cross to Lampard"

Dempsey and Clark's attack on Mack Qin just now caused only one Bradley Jr. in the back, and he had to come over to fill the position, and Cherundolo hurriedly followed Johnson back to the bottom line, so as not to be easily beaten through the defense by a one-two.

The defense of the whole United States was completely misaligned, Oneu ran to defend Gerrard, Demerritt went to Rooney, the two central defenders moved completely to the left, and Mackin directly ran to the gap between the right central defender and the right wingback of the American team.

'Frank Lampard, diagonally to Wayne Rooney, Mark next to him, Rooney, outside instep, good ball,' Lineker exclaimed, watching England break through the defence.

Demerritt is very experienced, and he is the only central defender left in the middle, and he does not follow Rooney too closely, which allows him to do his best to complete the turn and stick to the ball when Marc is going straight to the box.

"Mark, Mark, he's about to enter the penalty area", Lineker shouted expectantly, in order to avoid Demeritt when he followed the ball, Mark Qin directly smoothed the ball to his left foot, and when he saw him sticking up, he directly stopped with the outside of his left foot and completed the turn.

Then looking at Clark, who came over, with his back to the goal, he directly pushed the ball diagonally with the inside of his right foot and sent the ball behind Demerit.

A white figure quickly stepped up diagonally, facing Howard, who was in a hurry, and directly ejected with an outside instep.

"Mark, stop and turn around, pass straight, Gerald, Gerald, he's going to go single", several people in the commentary room left their seats, waiting to cheer.

“Goaaaaaaaal…… GoalGoalGoal......", the shot never disappointed England and fans again, and the ball bounced straight under Howard's open armpit into the back of the net.

"Gerrard, Gerrard, Goal......", Lineker shouted, "He scored England's first goal of this World Cup, England finally knocked on the door of the United States"

"Boom", there was a tsunami in the stands in an instant, and the sound of humming Zula rose to a new decibel!

Capello clenched his fists and kept raising his arms in celebration, this goal is too important, if you can't score, the pressure on England will increase, and the pressure on him will increase.

Gerrard is like an eagle soaring with wings, running to the sidelines excitedly, his goals in the World Cup are really not much, Mackin finally caught up with him on the sidelines, jumped on his back, and shouted towards the stands.

His World Cup maiden assist, feeding cake success!

More and more English players ran over, hugging excitedly, everything is difficult at the beginning, and with the beginning, it is possible to get better and better.

"Steven Gerrard, the assist from Mackqin, the two captains of Liverpool teamed up to help England break the ice!" , Duan Xuan shouted, "It's not easy, 30 minutes into the first half, England finally scored"

All the England fans who came to South Africa and the United Kingdom were instantly jubilant......
