Chapter 590: A Big Victory
Panama coach Gomez was the first to say to defender Gabriel: "Where were you when Jones scored the first goal? And when he broke through with the ball, where were you? ”
Gabriel hung his head, and he had no hair to face the manager or even himself.
Gomez shifted his gaze from Gabriel to the other defenders, looking down everywhere he looked.
Ay! ……
Gomez sighed sadly in his heart and said: "Okay, the first half has passed, we have conceded 5 goals, don't concede any more goals in the second half, they should replace Jones and the main players, and try to score 1 face-saving goal in the second half." ”
In the following time, he began to adjust his tactics, and Gabriel was ruthlessly substituted for Avila.
After a fifteen-minute break, the players from both sides returned to the pitch.
Looking at Cahill and Avila, who were standing on the sidelines, the commentator found that Jones was really replaced by Southgate in advance, and said with a smile: "My guess is right, Southgate replaced Jones early!" Replaced Chelsea's captain Gary Cahill and strengthened the defence!
The Panamanian side replaced Gabriel, who made several mistakes, and replaced Avila in the opposite position! ”
"It's a pity that we won't see Jones' senior happy today...... a young reporter from London said regretfully, with pride in his words.
"Tick! ……”
With the referee's whistle, the second half began.
England, who were the first to serve, appeared unhurried, starting to reverse the ball in their own backfield and were not in a hurry to move the ball to the front.
Panama's midfield began to press aggressively, and England, led by Jordan Henderson, increased the pace of the ball and moved the ball forward.
In the second minute of the second half, Jesse Lingard won the ball on the flank, broke along the touchline and then crossed the ball to the middle.
Kane, who had his back to the goal, knocked back directly, and after Henderson made a slight adjustment, he made a diagonal pass!
The ball is flying in front of Sterling!
However, Raheem Sterling failed to catch up with the football, and in the end Panamanian defender Davies took control of the football early, and England's attack came to an abrupt halt.
In the ensuing game, the two sides exchanged attacks and defences, and Panama tried to tear apart the England defence with tactical coordination, but after Cahill came on, England's defensive ability increased dramatically, and they struggled to hand over football to the forwards.
England seemed unhurried in attack, anyway, they had 5 goals in hand, and they didn't have the idea of continuing to score, after all, it was better to be merciful and save up their character.
In the 27th minute of the second half, Southgate made a second substitution, replacing Kane with Jamie Vardy.
The English media had also been very optimistic about the late striker, but with Jones' meteoric rise, he could only be used as a substitute for the team.
Vardy had just come on and had a chance to shoot, Henderson sent a corner into the Panama box, Vardy pressed Torres for a beautiful header and the ball flew towards the goal!
Penedo reacted quickly and lifted the ball over the crossbar!
England are now packed with talent in the front line and Vardy knows he has to hold on to a rare opportunity to impress his manager.
So in the next game, he was very active, and in the thirtieth minute of the second half, Panama failed to attack, and Henderson directly launched a long counterattack.
With Raheem Sterling distracted, Escobar stepped up and Vardy sped towards the ball, keeping it at his feet in advance.
In the face of Torres's stepped forward, Vardy slammed a left-footed smash, followed by a long-range shot, and the ball flew towards the left side of the goal!
Penedo leaped to his feet and bravely saved the ball off the line.
The Panamanian commentator exclaimed: "Penedo's two consecutive shots on goal blocked Vardy, if he was in that form in the first half, could Jones score a hat-trick?" ”
In the 37th minute of the second half, Maguire brought down Rodrigo outside his own penalty area, and Panama had a good chance to score.
Rodriguez's free-kick goes around the wall and straight towards the bottom right corner of the goal!
Pickford roared, jumped and pounced on the football!
The England fans cheered, Cahill was directly a big foot, and the football flew towards the Panamanian half!
Fight back quickly!
Vardy broke free of Avila's pull to take control of the ball, and then he crossed it to Raheem Sterling, who was on his heels.
Raheem Sterling crossed diagonally and the ball flew in front of Vardy!
Vardy sped up and drove the ball to the Panama penalty area, and forced his foot to shoot under Escobar's interference!
The soccer ball is speeding towards the left side of the goal!
Penedore leapt away and bravely kept the ball out, but he couldn't keep out Raheem Sterling's follow-up shot.
"Smack! ……”
The soccer ball flew towards the empty goal!
Penedo could only watch as the ball flew into his goal!
The ball is in!
6 to 0!
England have another big win!
