Chapter 43: Confrontation

"After everyone went to get their own clothes, they started immediately, and our training match was mainly to get familiar with their teammates and practice cooperation." Southgate said from the sidelines.

With Southgate's whistle, the game began, with players from both sides entering the field and substitutes securing serve in the pre-match coin guess.

From the moment the coach blew the kick-off whistle, Fude looked at Liu Neng the moment he got the ball first, and then just rushed forward with the ball, the rhythm of this game was very fast from the beginning, and the confrontation was extremely fierce.

The main team urgently needs a victory to prove their main position, and the substitute also needs a wonderful performance to impress the coach, and the substitute and the main teammate have not made any temptations and directly go head-to-head.

Fude passed back to Liu Neng behind him, he continued to run forward, Liu Neng dribbled the ball, faced Keane's up-and-down grab, suddenly passed the ball over the top, Forde stopped the ball on his chest, looked around and passed the ball to Vardy.

After Vardy received the ball, he pulled the ball and turned around, he saw Cresswell rushing up, he saw that Creswell was up fast, Vardy's heart moved, he knocked the ball forward, and when he was about to force the ball to break through, others passed, but the ball at his feet was tackled by Cresswell.

Cresswell was very decisive in the grab, when Vardy knocked the ball forward and his own body rushed forward, he suddenly stepped up, cutting off Vardy and the football, Vardy stumbled, and the man rushed out by inertia, but the ball remained at Cresswell's feet.

Southgate, who was on the sidelines, looked at the game on the field, did not speak, after being cut off, Vardy did not stop in place and was annoyed, but immediately turned around, he has already had a big heart beyond ordinary players in many games, Cresswell took the football forward, and wanted to sprint with the ball!

After being cut off, Vardy didn't care, but had a gut feeling that Cresswell would not pass the ball out, but would dribble the ball himself, so Vardy immediately started to chase back to Cresswell, after which Vardy fell to the ground and slid the tackle!

Cresswell just easily broke the ball from Vardy's feet, very complacent, for this low-level league teammate, I look down on him, isn't it just luck, mixed with a top league champion, so easily cut off by himself, a guy with better luck!

When he thought like this, the next second, Cresswell felt someone coming from the side, and the tackle was so resolute that Cresswell didn't have time to dodge, the ball was shoveled out of the touchline, and Cresswell was also thrown to the ground.

"Are you against the ball or against people, bastard" Cresswell, who got up from the ground, was a little embarrassed, he rushed at Vardy angrily, he was not injured, he was carrying the ball, he was tackled by the person he looked down on just now, and his face was unbearable.

"I'm afraid of you!" Vardy is also not afraid to meet it, the lower leagues are much more powerful than the current confrontation, you are a newcomer and my cow, both of them look at each other angrily, as if they are angry bulls, their heads are about to be together, as if they are fighting horns!

Coach Southgate's whistle sounded, and he hurried over to separate the two temper tantrums! Seeing the two clashing together, the other players from both sides also gathered around to see what was going on.

"See everything, let me go back to my place." The players quickly listened and returned to their positions.

He then criticised Vardy and Cresswell, "You're all teammates on the same team, isn't it normal for the game to collide, do you play on the first day, give me a good temper and give me extra training after the game" Southgate gave the two of them 50 boards each and walked out of the field.

Southgate could see clearly that Vardy's tackle was directed towards the ball, and as for the subsequent conflict between the two, he still sent both of them off, both of them have been like this for a long time, and they must be well warned, otherwise, the problem will be serious during the game.

Who knows if these two will have a hot brain and clash during the game?

After the game restarted, the clash caused by Vardy and Cresswell was over, and the two sides started the game again, the home team's Harry Kane's shot went wide of the post, and the substitute side immediately returned the color, Liu Neng hit the crossbar with a long-range shot, and the game has entered the time of fierce confrontation.

At the beginning of the game, the conflict between the two entered a white-hot stage, and both sides showed their momentum and attitude towards this game!

It is not surprising that the home team has such momentum and pursuit, and the determination of the substitute players to win is not surprising, Southgate is worried about everyone's physical strength in tomorrow's game, the game is only two minutes into the game, and the situation on the field makes Southgate want to stop a little, but he still holds back, let's see if it is said.

The main team began to press, and after being cut off by Fudd, he drove straight in after breaking through a defender, passing the ball to his teammates, which he couldn't do by shooting, so he needed to do it, and the ball was naturally broken through by himself at his feet!

You have to rely on your own ability, you have to work hard to do it, what a striker is, not by cooperating with teammates' goals, everything depends on teammates, what kind of top striker is it.

Forde, who had already burst into the opponent's penalty area after running a few steps, was very satisfied with the openness here, and because the home team pressed heavily on the substitutions, there was now only Tom Heaton left here as the commander of the light pole, staring nervously at the intruding Fud.

Abandon the door or stand still, I don't know what to do, these defenders don't know how to be selected for the national team, how can they be weak, and they still leave such a gap, why do the defenders often pit themselves!

However, Heaton still slowly calmed down, if Ford passed the ball just now to Jones in a better position, he was afraid that he would have no time to prepare, but Ford chose to carry the ball by himself, through the cooperation of the two people just now, Heaton was also able to estimate that the cooperation between Fude and Jones was not good.

Although these two people are both professional players, they are still young, and they are still eager to show themselves after controlling the ball, but these two young players are not slow, so they should be more careful, and this can be seen in the accelerated running of the two just now, but as long as these two people do it alone, there is no big problem, and with the bottom of their hearts, Heaton regained his mind to stand a little in front of the goal line.

I lost to Jones in the competition just now, and at this moment Ford is determined to perform better than Jones in this training match, and he will work hard even in training in the future, he was the youngest player in the national team, and now he is younger than himself, this time he is in a group with him in the team training match, and there is no way to challenge him, and next time he will abuse him in the main team.

The defender chased it back, and Ford's long-range shot from outside the box was very good, which was firmly held by Heaton.

Southgate took out his notebook and jotted something on the sidelines, watching the game on the field without saying a word.

There were few good chances for either side, and Jones didn't let the players see what he was capable of, but it was Ford and Vardy who caught the eye, and the newcomer Jones was barely visible in the game.

However, Southgate did not replace Jones and let him continue in the game.

"Actually, Jones can be excluded from the team for the time being, after all, he is still very young and has a lot of room for improvement." Assistant coach Holland said next to Southgate that he would whisper it to Southgate again.

Southgate replied in a low voice: "Actually, it is obvious that both sides are in good shape, and the unfamiliarity with the cooperation is the problem they are encountering now, on the home team's side, they can't see the defenders on the defense at all, they all go up to attack, everything depends on the midfielder and the goalkeeper to star, and the slightest mistake will be broken by the substitute team."

The defensive players on the bench did a good job, but the offensive coordination of Forde, Jones, Vardy, and the three did not have a tacit understanding, so now the two sides have not scored so far.

Holland glanced at his manager, although he used to manage Chelsea well, but recently he has been working with Southgate as an assistant, and the relationship has naturally improved after working for a long time.

Speaking of words, he didn't have so many scruples: "Gat, why don't you command them, in this case, what will you do tomorrow?" ”

Southgate snorted: "It's okay, the team suddenly changed a lot of players, it's normal to not cooperate well, the time is very tight, if you force the formation, it's better to let them play, tomorrow's opponent is also a fish belly, it shouldn't be a big problem to win, and then slowly adjust the team."

The players on the pitch didn't know that the manager had thought so much, and their goal was the same, which was to get the ball into the opponent's goal, and the ball was now firmly controlled by the main side, but they couldn't find the right time to play the ball.

In the end, I had to look for a good opportunity to score through a long shot, but how could that wonderful long-range shot be so easy to appear, but it was counterattacked by Liu Neng several times, but Liu Neng did not cooperate very well and did not score, but this also made the main players pay some attention to the problem of defense.
