Volume 4 Chapter 23 The Midfield Master
"hat a goal, this free-kick combination can definitely become a World Cup classic, full of deception, and Mark's magic back-heel pass......"
"Wayne Rooney, Rooney broke his goal drought of almost 80 days since April 27, with an aurora blast and a brilliant free-kick from Mark......"
"The ball is in, Mackqin, it's Macqin again, his feet are unpredictable now, this free kick coordination and pass deceived the Algerian players on the field, it's so beautiful......"
In the live broadcast room of more than 200 countries, the commentators used all kinds of languages to frantically praise England's goal cooperation, while jubiling.
The flashing lights in the stands at the Green Dot Stadium exploded, forming a galaxy-like star belt, and the Three Lions off the pitch completed their redemption for the first game in 45 minutes.
It was the England national team's best half of the year this year, and it was hearty, and Wayne Rooney, who was celebrating shirtless on the sidelines, was also the object of renewed cheers from the fans.
In the pre-match interview, he specially apologized to the fans, and now, he finally released the pressure and depression of the past 2 months, "F**K, well done", "I was deceived by the two of you", "Haha, I thought you two were really going to fight just now", teammates excitedly patted the two liars around and shouted.
Beckham looked at Capello with a wry smile on his face, and he also reacted, but Rooney's crazy celebration is understandable, it has been suppressed for too long.
"Oh, My God, Rooney was so excited, the referee showed him a yellow card", Lineker said as he watched the live footage, and Rooney was depressed and put on his shirt as if he had been poured cold water.
The next game is the real top spot in the group, and if England lose because he can't play, he'll be the culprit again.
"Score a few more in the second half, don't think about it", Mackin patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly, this World Cup has adopted the practice of clearing yellow cards in the top 8 games, Rooney did not hold out until then, he can only say that he made a little back.
The Algerian players and coaches have utterly lost hope of victory, and their only goal left is to score a goal, their first World Cup goal in 24 years.
Only their fans are still shouting wildly, it doesn't matter if they win, as long as they can stand on the land of South Africa, it is their pride.
After the restart of the game, less than 1 minute, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and Capello helplessly patted Rooney, who was leaving the game with his head down, on the sidelines, and still sent a good job.
Since there is no way to change it, it is useless to say more, what he needs to think about is how to eliminate the impact of this yellow card, and the next game really cannot afford to lose.
"Well, the first half is over, England unexpectedly and reasonably leads Algeria with a score of 3:0", Duan Xuan said at halftime, "It shouldn't be a big problem to win this game, but Rooney's yellow card leaves a hidden danger for the next game"
At this time, the data comparison of the best players in the first half of the two teams was played on the live broadcast screen, and the pass success rate of Macqin was still at 100% of the glasses, which was also the first time he was able to play such data, not to mention the whole field, it was already difficult in the half.
"Hey, Mr. Ma's statistic", Sun Jihai said with a smile, "Needless to say, I know how big his role is on the field, I hope he can continue this performance in the second half"
In the dressing room, Capello did not criticise Wayne Rooney's yellow card, he only praised his team's performance in the first half and warned them that there should be no relaxation in the second half, which was the most relaxed half-time break they have had since arriving in South Africa.
……
Capello stood on the sidelines, looked at his watch, and then asked the assistant coach to submit a substitution, and the second half would start for ten minutes, and the situation on the pitch would not change much.
In order to save energy, Mackin slowed down the tempo a little more, and when Algeria pressed, they were more patient in the backfield and concentrated on counterattacking.
Taking advantage of a dead goal, the fourth referee raised the substitution card, and Carrick replaced the best No. 18 of the game, Mackqin.
"England have been replaced, and it was Mackin who was replaced?" , Duan Xuan was surprised, and then immediately reacted, "This should be Capello's preparation for the life-and-death battle to qualify in three days, Rooney can't play, he should want to save Macqin's physical energy to the greatest extent"
"It should be like this", Sun Jihai nodded, "There should be no suspense in this game"
Many fans in the VIP seats and stands spontaneously stood up and applauded the black-haired teenager at this time, and he was slowly applauding the audience and walking off the field.
He will be replaced in the second half, which Capello has already informed him at halftime, so there is no surprise, but the current data on the big screen is dumbfounded.
Goals: 1; Assists: 2; Passes: 98; Success rate: 100%; Interceptions: 3; Violated: 6.
"This is completely a midfield master-level statistic, and Mark Qin deserves such applause", Duan Xuan said with great pride, "His performance today is really incomparable"
In the stands, I don't know how many people are proud of him, in fact, it is difficult to say how much difference there will be between the performance of a pass with a success rate of 95% and a 100% on the field, but the latter, definitely has a huge news effect, and the only one who can do it at the moment is Zinedine Zidane at Old Trafford.
"Great job", Capello said, holding his arm, "rest off the pitch, we can't do without you in three days' time"
"Thank you, boss", Mark Qin said with a smile as he handed over the jacket from the coaching staff, he didn't really like this record, because it didn't mean as much as he thought.
However, this game is destined to become one of the classic games of his football career, and it will also confirm his position as the maestro of the midfield, the world is so wonderful, it is even more meaningful than his only four and five goals.
Scarcity is expensive!
"Well done", "bull pen", the teammates on the bench all took the initiative to extend their hands to greet Ma Qin, who came over and sat down, and sometimes, the status came so casually.
He opened the sports drink that he had prepared a long time ago, and watched the field while drinking, but the camera was still reluctant to leave, but firmly locked on him, and I don't know how many commentators were churning around his short but miraculous football career, to note how great it was.
The midfield is different from the striker, if you are extremely talented, you can even score goals in the front line at the age of 18 or 9, but the midfield is different, even if you are talented, hundreds of passes, runs, and responses per game, and you can make no mistakes every time, and distribute the ball accurately every time, it also requires a lot of game experience.
Under the age of 20, he behaved as if he had been on the field for more than ten years, many people don't know how Makqin did it, but he just did it!
Modern football has only a hundred years of history, and the heroes are exhausted.
There are Pele and Gerd Muller in the front, Cruyff, Maradona and Platini in the midfield, and Beckenbauer in the back.
But there has never been such a playmaker in the midfield and a player who can score goals like a top striker, and many people don't even know how to define it now.
Some fans even think that if he is allowed to play center back, he will probably be outstanding, but it is pure nonsense to think so, plus the attribute of dead fans.
He himself thought that if he could retreat to the deepest position, that is, the organizational midfield, and push to the front position, which was the number nine and a half, and the other positions would expose his weaknesses too obviously.
In fact, it is not so easy for everyone on the football field to be classified by location, because everyone's characteristics are unique, and Makqin is writing his own unique football career.
……
Rooney worked the pitch and knew he wouldn't be able to play in the next game, so he put all his fitness into this game, and after Mack was off, he dropped back to midfield frequently.
Receiving, organizing, long-range shooting, rushing, grabbing points, a lot of motivation comes from competition, and it is impossible to say that Makqin's performance does not stimulate him at all.
He has been a top star in England's forward line since he joined the national team at the age of 18, and by then, Owen was too scarred to compete with him for stardom.
But now that he has, and he is drowning him out at an unbelievable rate, if this performance continues, maybe after this World Cup, Mackin will become England's star of the game.
Ronaldo has deeply stimulated him in the club, and now he has Makqin in the national team, all of whom are like God's whip, smoking him who is a little lazy by nature, and continues to move forward.
"Carrick's role in the midfield is still not comparable to that of Mackqin", Duan Xuan said, "although he is already one of the few playmakers in England, but the passing is a bit too mediocre"
It was clear that England's possession plummeted from over 70 per cent to 60 per cent, allowing Algeria to organise a few goal-threatening attacks.
The same is the passing, Mackin can always deliver the ball to safety in time, teammates pick it up without difficulty, and it is easy to attack, which is easy to say, but too difficult to do.
Carrick, who watched most of the half from the sidelines, felt like he was undergoing a spiritual baptism, and he even wanted to imitate Mackin to play, and only the skills of a midfielder could fascinate another midfielder.
"Rooney, drop back again to get the ball, Carrick comes up to answer, good ball, this ball is good, Gerrard takes the ball in the middle and breaks into ......", Lineker shouted, "Give it to Johnson, Johnson, he broke into the bottom line of the penalty area, he was very fast, and he passed back vigorously outside the small penalty area!" ”
"Rooney, Rooney, Goaaaaaal......, Rooney, scored twice, he inserted in time, a foot arch push, 4:0, England sealed the win!"
Together with his teammates on the bench, Mack stood up and applauded his teammates, the game has been going on for nearly 80 minutes, and the big picture has been decided!
Capello also replaced Crouch with Defoe and Gerrard with James Milner immediately after the goal, which was already planned to be withdrawn.
Capello, who thought the game would end like this, had a black face at the end of the game, it was an Algerian corner.
Larsen drove a corner into the six-yard box and James, a veteran who hadn't been tested much in a game, leaped high and picked the ball off.
The bad thing is here, he may have jumped a little hard, but when he fell, his hands were not steady, and he directly knocked the ball he was holding on to his knees and bounced out.
Algeria laughed at this gift without psychological pressure, and the captain in the penalty area, Yahia, poked his toe to break the England goal, and also scored Algeria's first World Cup goal in 24 years, after the goal, Algeria was like winning the Hercules Cup, crazy celebration.
"Uh, was James infected by Greene?" Lineker said depressedly, "Or is there any curse in front of the England goal?" , Magnusson, Green, James, is it that hard for us to want a goalkeeper who doesn't make low-level mistakes? ”
Wilson shook his head in disappointment, "England must solve the goalkeeper problem, otherwise it is likely that this point will cause irreversible damage to the team in important games......"
