"Judging from England's lineup for this World Preliminary Tournament, whether it is Kane, Jones, Vardy in the front, Alli and Sterling in the midfield, or Walker and Stones in the backfield, they can all be regarded as world-class stars.

In this World Preliminary Tournament, although the strength of the same group is average, England still shows good combat effectiveness and is currently undefeated.

However, in recent friendlies, it is clear that England's overall performance is still relatively disappointing relative to expectations, judging from the performance against Italy and Nigeria, the team's overall defense is average, but in attack, England are still very strong, Jones and Kane and Vardy are very good at scoring goals.

The opponent in the second warm-up game, Costa Rica's overall strength is average, and in addition to Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas, who is considered a world-class star, the overall strength of the players is still slightly mediocre.

However, it should be noted that Costa Rica can be regarded as the absolute dark horse of the 2014 World Cup, and Costa Rica in this list is considered a golden generation, although the individual technical ability is average, but in terms of integrity, it is still very good.

Judging from the team's warm-up matches in the last round, it can also be seen that the overall strength of the team is really good if it can win the European midstream team Northern Ireland.

In this game, for England, on the one hand, it is a training exercise, and on the other hand, Costa Rica will still be treated as Panama, the object of the World Cup.

As for Costa Rica, this game will definitely be very attentive, for such a warm-up game, in fact, it is more of a drill lineup, the players generally do not exert too much force, and Costa Rica is not weak! ”

…………

The warm-up match started on time, and in order to test the condition of the players and run in the lineup, the coaches of both sides did not send the strongest starting lineup.

Kane, Jones Vardy and most of the players who played in the warm-up game were on the bench.

After the start of the game, after a trial, England took the lead in picking up the pace, and in the third minute of the opening game, Rashford suddenly cut inside with the ball on the wing and fired a long-range shot from outside the box.

The football went wide of the goal, and for the rest of the game, England at home controlled the tempo of the game, and Costa Rica could only play a quick counter-attack.

In the 29th minute of the first half, England centre-back Oyer was cut off by Sawani for a poor handling of the ball, and then Savani passed the ball to Suarez on the left.

Suarez suddenly shoots from distance in the face of Heitinga's defense!

Soccer ball hangs in the dead end!

The ball is in!

The score became 1-0!

After falling behind, England went on a frenzied attack, and Costa Rica finally relied on a stubborn defense to hold on to a one-goal advantage until the end of the first half.

After a fifteen-minute half-time break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and England, under the leadership of Henderson, attacked the Costa Rican defense again and again.

However, the two strikers are out of shape, squandering the scoring opportunities created by the midfielder again and again.

At the start of the second half, Costa Rica began to make changes to their line-up, with veterans Forlan and Fernandez replacing Suarez and Savani.

In the 13th minute of the second half, Costa Rica got a direct free kick opportunity in front, and Forlan took a free kick that bypassed the wall and flew into the net from the top right corner of the goal!

The ball is in!

2 to 0!

This left the England fans in the stands stunned, why let Costa Rica score two goals?

The English media reporters on the sidelines were extremely angry, which also made the fans at the scene very dissatisfied and booed Southgate loudly!

Seeing this, after the game restarted, Southgate replaced Rashford with Jones, Southgate looked at Rashford, who was not in good shape, and had to be replaced by Jones, who still maintained the amazing form of the league.

Southgate put Jones on the bench because he wanted Jones not to be out of form too early and to stay in form for the World Cup.

He even wanted to play Jones in the last minutes of the game tonight, but now the situation is so bad that he has to bring Jones on early.

Although Costa Rica led by two goals, when coach Talamirez saw that Dow Jones was replaced, he immediately reminded his midfielder to pay attention to defending Jones.

The game was only restarted after a substitution, and instead of kicking the ball into the Dutch penalty area, Forlan passed it to his team-mates on the right, who had to control the tempo of the game.

England, who are behind the score, have carried out crazy pressing at this time, time is their worst enemy, the score is behind, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the England team.

After Jones came on the court, he immediately began to press, and Gagarno, who took the ball, did not immediately play the ball in the face of Jones' pressing, but chose to control the ball himself.

Jones had no choice but to go up and steal, and if he lost this game, it would definitely be a huge blow to the team's morale, and he didn't want to miss out on letting the team's morale drop.

The next moment, Jones's right shoulder skillfully leaned on Gargano's left shoulder, and at this moment Gargano's center of gravity was just to the left, and he lost his center of gravity in an instant!

Jones stepped forward and took control of the out-of-control soccer ball at his feet.

Welbeck in the front field immediately turned around and was ready to step forward!

Jones didn't hesitate and kicked the ball over the top, and the ball fell behind the Uruguayan defenders!

Welbeck started first, and after three big steps, he shook off the opposing defender, flew up and unloaded the football!

Then go to the Costa Rica penalty area!

Jones had just come on and immediately made a tackle and gave Welbeck a one-on-one goal!

In the stands, after seeing Jones' successful steal and successful pass, the England fans let out a huge shout.

Keylor Navas dropped out of the net and Welbeck fired a low shot from the edge of the box and the ball flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal!

With more than 30,000 people waiting at Wembley Stadium, the football finally got into the net!

The ball is in!

The score became 1-2 and England narrowed the difference!

There were huge screams and cheers at Wembley Stadium!

The English national television commentator shouted: "Jones! Jones! After coming on the pitch, he had a beautiful front stage, and then set up Welbeck to score a goal to help England close the gap! England are just one goal away from equalising! ”

Standing in the command area, I breathed a sigh of relief, and it was okay! It also discouraged his readiness to bring on Kane and Vardy, and he wanted to see what Jones could do in the end!

Not far away, Costa Rica coach Ramirez shook his head helplessly, some stars are like this, you know that he is very dangerous, and you know what he is going to do, but there is nothing you can do.
