Chapter 663: The Game Continues
In the England dressing room, the atmosphere was relaxed, but Sterling was very nervous, his three shots on goal did not turn into goals, he was pressed with a stone in his heart, he was afraid that the coach would replace him!
Southgate laughed and said: 'Now we're two goals ahead, we have to relax a little bit, it's just a normal quarter-final. ”
Raheem Sterling knew the boss was trying to take the pressure off him and he smiled.
'We created a lot of chances in the first half and it shows how good we are and we should be proud of that.
We were unlucky in the first half and missed several chances in a row to overtake the scoreline, but who can take every chance?!
We were unlucky in the first half and in the second half I think our luck will come back and we will continue to win big games! ”
Sterling let out a breath of turbid air and said with a smile: "The coach is right, Sweden ran out of luck in the first half, and luck will be on our side in the second half!" ”
Jones also exhaled heavily, and said to himself in his heart: You barely shot on goal in the first half, and you have to act in the second half.
After a fifteen-minute break, the players from both sides returned to the pitch and the second half of the game was about to begin.
The fans in the stands, seeing the players playing again, began to let out loud shouts, and the battle between the fans of both sides began to start.
"Tick!"
The referee blew the whistle and the second half began.
England quickly moved their football to midfield, and once again there was a fierce battle around the centre circle, but this time Jones was not involved in the scramble, wanting to get closer to the opposition goal in order to have a chance to shoot.
If a striker doesn't shoot, can he still be called a striker?
In the fierce battle, Ali changed the situation on the field and kicked the football directly to the left front court, and the football flew behind Kraft.
Facing the football, Jones and Kraft run wildly towards the football, squeezing each other as they run wildly.
Sebastian is another man who is on the run for football, and he will work with Kraft to snatch the ball down and stop England's long balls.
The closer the three got to the football, the shouting from the stands got louder.
The ball landed on the turf, and the next moment the three men stretched out their right feet almost simultaneously as they went to grab the ball.
Jones suddenly accelerated again, struck under the soccer ball that bounced off the turf, and the ball flew over Sebastian's head!
"Beautiful!"
The England commentator shouted: "Jones wins in the battle for the ball!" ”
Jones turned and flew towards the football, and when Kraft saw this, he decisively stretched out his right hand and grabbed Jones' jersey.
The next moment Jones was knocked down by Kraft and fell onto the turf.
"Tick!"
The referee blew the whistle and dealt with Kraft with a yellow card.
"Shh......h
There was a huge boo in the stadium, which was given to Kraft by England fans, who were mocking the defender.
The Russian state television commentator said: "Kraft chose a foul tactic in desperation, and from a tactical point of view, it was the right choice.
After all, it would be very dangerous for Sweden to let Jones dribble the ball to the middle, and it would be worth it to resolve a crisis with a yellow card. ”
Henderson pulled Jones up from the turf and the game restarted.
It was difficult to shoot directly from this position, Henderson chose to take a free kick into the Swedish penalty area, Kane beat Granqvist with a lion flick his head, and the ball flew towards the left side of the goal!
Olsen leaps forward and bravely lifts the ball off the crossbar!
Five minutes later, Sweden struggled to get the ball into the England half, when Kraft, who had come up with the assist, picked up the ball on the flank and suddenly cut inside before slashing a diagonal cross into the box.
The football flew into the penalty area as if it were fasting against the turf, and the air in the stadium suddenly became tense.
Marcus leaned on Maguire and stretched out his right foot to stop the ball in front of his right, followed by a powerful shot!
The ball ended up in the side-netting, which sent England into a cold sweat.
In the ensuing game, the two sides went back and forth, but neither could form a good chance to open the scoring under the tight defense of the opponent.
In the 26th minute of the second half, the situation on the field changed abruptly, Sweden reversed the ball at the back, and Kane made a strong pounce on Glenqvist who got the ball.
Glenqvist opted to give himself a pass to Ekdahl in front of his right.
At the moment of his pass, a fast figure seemed to burst out from behind Ekdal's right, and Jones overtook Ekdal in a few steps and stole the football!
"Good shot!"
The commentator of England's national television shouted: "Jones made a successful steal and began to counterattack!" ”
The Swedish national TV commentator said bitterly: "Granqvist made a mistake and his pass was intercepted by Jones!" ”
The atmosphere at the Samara Stadium became lively, and the England fans let out a loud roar: "Jones! ”
"Jones!"
"Jones"
In the midst of these roars, Jones rushed towards the Swedish penalty area with a football in flight, and the Swedish defense was in disarray.
Kraft and Sebastian tried to flank Jones, but Jones didn't give them a chance at all, and on the outside of his right foot on the ball, he flicked the ball to the front right and killed it directly from the middle.
Kane immediately ran past Jones and headed for the left, with Raheem Sterling cutting forward aggressively on the right!
The commentator said quickly: "How do Jones choose, do he force his way into the box from the middle to complete the shot, or choose the right opportunity to distribute the football to his teammates on both sides?!" ”
If the way he played in the first half, Jones would have chosen to pass the ball to his team-mates, but now Jones wants to shoot on his own.
With Kane and Raheem Sterling pinning down the Swedish two full-backs, there was plenty of space in the middle, with only Victor Lindelof and Granqvist at hand.
As for Ekdal and Gissebastian behind him, Jones didn't think about it at all, as he could face the opposition goalkeeper directly by rushing past the two centre-backs.
Jones kept touching the ball quickly, and when the two centre-backs were about to form a trap, Jones slammed the inside of his right foot and then nudged it on the inside of his left foot.
In this way, he sprinted through the gap between the two centre-backs and broke through the last line of defence.
The Swedish fans in the stands were pale, and if they conceded again this time, they would have no chance at all!
The Russian state TV commentator shouted: "Jones broke through the opponent's bag and continued to run towards Olsen with the ball, single-handed!" ”
The Swedish national TV commentator said bitterly: "I hope this goal doesn't go in, or we won't have a chance!" ”
In the Swedish penalty area, Olsen abandoned the goal, Jones pushed the shot, and the ball flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal.
Behind Sweden's goal, reporters pointed their cameras at Jones and pressed the shutter of the camera!
The ball flew close to the turf, and Olsen roared in his heart, instinctively sticking out his right foot.
The next moment, the football was magically blocked by him, and the football flew towards the left side of the penalty area.
The Swedish national television commentator shouted: "Beautiful, great Olsen, no ......!" ”
In the stands, the huge regret of the England fans had just blurted out, and Kane rushed towards the football, and he had to follow up with the follow-up shot.
