Chapter 144: Fouls and Free Kicks
At this time, Kershin completed a break outside the penalty area, and after he broke the ball from Dyer's feet, he looked up and saw that Szporar and Welbic were running desperately forward, and Kerkhin kicked the ball straight in front with a big kick.
"It's Slovenia fighting back!" The narrator shouted.
The game is now in the 76th minute, Welbic received the ball and dribbled the ball, and when he forced a break through Stones and Cahill, he was put to the ground by Cahill, the referee took a free kick and gave Cahill a yellow card, Cahill looked innocent to the referee to theorize, the TV slow motion showed that this was indeed a fake fall, but the referee still awarded a foul, and Slovenia took a free kick.
Kersin's opponent is Joe Hart, who runs directly, stands on support, and shoots angrily! Joe Hart's eyes widened and he was about to move his center of gravity, he looked in the direction and blocked the ball with his hand, and after the refraction, the ball bounced off the post and scored, Cahill kicked the ball into the middle of the field, and Jones took the ball.
Slovenia's defense of Jones is not tight, two defensive players, at this time the two of them took the initiative to defend the position, so that Jones's offense is useless, and now England is starting to defend!
In itself, Jones lost the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, so that although England's attack was much stronger than that of Slovenia, there was no place to play now.
"Twenty minutes into the second half, England's attack is not as fierce as the first 10 minutes, and even a little unenterprising, and some fans in England are already a little impatient."
How can the English team still defend when they have the advantage, why not attack! However, the fans still stood up and cheered for the home team, hoping that the team could start to counterattack and attack, and it was better to beat Slovenia themselves to no suspense.
Hearing the cheers on the pitch getting louder and louder, Southgate saw that the time had come, stood up, shouted a few times into the pitch, and then gestured something to Henderson, and then returned to the bench to sit unfazed, not at all upset by the fact that the team was now being pressed and beaten.
Because, in itself, this is Southgate's tactical arrangement, let the opponent attack fiercely, and then counterattack, if it weren't for Oblak's bravery, Southgate wouldn't have to use tactics like this, just hit the opposite attack!
Just when the Slovenian players began to get more and more accustomed to attacking and were ready to continue to strengthen the attack, the English players suddenly increased their running speed and the pace of the game, and the frequency of the midfielder's horizontal passes became lower, and they began to change positions, break through, and the players' running speed began to increase.
Slovenia's defensive line was suddenly chaotic, the players' running positions were also disrupted, the defense was suddenly shattered by Jones and Kane, and only Oblak showed great courage and withstood several shots from Jones.
But this also angered Kane: "You are so powerful, I don't believe it, I can't get in!" ”
Kane twisted his body suddenly, kicked the ground hard, and his body quickly rushed out, and Pang Kane had completely rushed up after speeding up! Kane had already gotten up and was about to shoot when he suddenly felt a strong pass from behind, and then a pain in his ankle, his eyes were dark, and the whole person fell in front of the penalty area.
"Toot! ~ "The referee blew the whistle and ran to Kane's side, in case the players on both sides were excited and had an emergency, Kane rolled on the ground in pain, covered his feet and ignored the referee's shouts, and kept lying on the ground, Henderson ran over and negotiated with the referee on the field, asking the referee to give Jokic a red card!
Jokic was also nervous when he stood on the court, he was in a hurry just now, so he did this action in a hurry, and the key is that he didn't know if he had tackled it! The referee's hand has not left the back trouser pocket, and he is very nervous now, for fear that the referee will give him a red card!
You must know that the team's backline is about to be broken up by England, if you are out of the field, I am afraid that there is really no chance of equalizing, and the team really has nothing to do with the World Cup!
Strictly speaking, this tackle was a good shot, but the referee considered that it did tackle someone, and gave a free kick, and after the referee persuaded Henderson away, he leaned over and patted Kane on the shoulder and shouted: "If you feel like you can't continue playing, I'll let the team doctor in, and you can come back when the free kick is issued!" ”
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Kane, but turned to the nervous Jokic to warn him to pay attention to his defensive movements not to be too big, Kane saw that the referee was not ready to take out the card, so he stood up stupidly, moved his feet a few times, walked a few times, and said that he was fine!
The stadium resounded with enthusiastic applause from the fans for Kane, showing their support for him.
Slovenia began to line up the human wall, Henderson and Dale stood in front of the ball, both of them ran at the same time, and finally Henderson's free kick, the ball went around the human wall and appeared directly in front of the goal.
At this time, Oblak didn't have time to think about it, so he could only rely on his own experience to lower his body, stretch his body with all his strength, try to reach one point after another with his long arms, and his eyes were fixed on the flying football, Oblak could even hear the wind blowing in his ears, and finally touched the football with the tips of his fingers before the ball flew to the goal, and saved the ball from the sideline with the momentum of his body.
"Whew! ~" This ball can be saved, which immediately made Oblak excited, and he jumped up from the ground in high spirits, and shouted at the England players with his fists excitedly: "You have the ability to continue coming!" ”
Oblak waved his fist excitedly and shouted loudly, and at this time, England was already frozen, Jones didn't expect Henderson to suddenly take a free kick, let alone O'Brown was able to save this goal, this ball was perfectly grasped both in terms of speed and angle, but such a must-score goal was still saved by Hami! Oblak: What's wrong, how many must-have goals have been saved in this game!
Now the offense is very smooth, that is, the opponent's goalkeeper is superb, Jones is just near the penalty area, he can't react when he sees Oblak pounce, Oblak is really super god in this game, if this goal is scored, he will basically win this game.
If it weren't for Oblak's wonderful performance, the opponent's momentum would have been broken long ago, but if it continues like this, I'm afraid that the opponent's momentum will rise.
On the sidelines, Southgate shook his head with some regret, he was ready to get up to celebrate, but Oblak's performance still made him happy, and then he quickly adjusted his mood and continued to study the tactics on the field.
