After presenting the thoughts of some celebrities before the game, the English national TV commentator said: "Jones is quite confident in himself, he thinks he can still score today and help the team win! ”

Guest Lineker said: "I talked about this yesterday when I had a meeting with Alan Shearer, Mike Owen and others. ”

This intrigued the narrator, and he hurriedly asked, "What did they say?!" ”

Lineker said: "Alan Shearer has a lot of confidence in Jones and he says when he watched Jones in the Premier League he had a hunch that Jones was going to shock the world.

In addition, he said that now Jones not only has speed, but also has greatly improved his skills, and has reached the world's top level, Jones is the most difficult striker in the world to defend today. ”

Lineker said with a smile: "I don't think the Swedish defense can stop Jones from scoring at all?!"

However, I'm more concerned about whether we can win this game, and if Kane and Jones can play properly, then England have a good chance of winning! ”

At around 1:45 a.m., the players from both sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations for the upcoming game.

In the England dressing room, Southgate said after announcing the starting line-up: "I think the World Cup game, I don't need to mobilize anymore, you will all fight for glory!" ”

The players will smile, yes, this is the World Cup, the dream of all the players!

England coach Southgate's face sank, and he said seriously: "But I want to advise everyone, you must not be careless in the game!" ”

Jones exhaled a long breath and said to himself in his heart: "The coach is right, you must not be careless, and no opponent can be underestimated!" ”

Southgate exclaimed: "I've never been worried about our attack, I've never been too worried about our defence. ”

Some of the defenders were unhappy that they had only conceded one goal in four games, and Southgate continued: "You can't underestimate a team like Sweden at any time, so when you defend, everyone has to step back into their own half of the pitch! ”

Southgate finally showed his tactical thinking and focused on defence at this momentous moment, and despite the displeasure of some players, no one challenged the manager's authority, and several midfielders nodded their heads.

"When attacking, we have a formation of 433, and when we defend, we have a formation of 451, and the two wingers have to hold their own side of the defense and help their teammates defend!"

"The long pass at the back is counterattacking, Jones and Vardy have to rotate forward, they can't go forward together, if one person has gone to the front, then the other person has to be in the midfield, and there is a chance to insert the attack!"

The atmosphere in the Swedish dressing room was solemn, and England's attacking power put them under pressure.

An Derong looked at his players and said: "In such a big battle, the two sides compare who makes fewer mistakes and who has the stronger ability to grasp opportunities, and the winning side must be the one who makes fewer mistakes and grasps the opportunities stronger." ”

"So we have to make as few mistakes as possible when defending, don't make mistakes, be patient when attacking and be calm before shooting!"

He exhaled a long breath and his voice suddenly increased: "A lot of people are waiting for us to fail, and they can prove themselves right by saying that we are dark horses, but I think you are the best players in Sweden today!" ”

In the last game of the group stage, Sweden won 3-0 against Mexico after already qualifying, and they eliminated Switzerland 1-0 in the first round of the knockout round.

But as soon as they reached the last eight, the pressure suddenly increased on them, as they faced England in this round against an impressive England side.

With 16 goals in 3 games, it feels terrifying when you think about it, even the Brazilian team that won the World Cup in South Korea and Japan in 02 has no such terrifying attacking power.

Andersson wants to win against England to silence the media, and against England who are so strong, you can still attack us as dark horses!

But England's offensive line, where is it so easy to defend, Jones needless to say, has shown excellent form from the first game.

Southgate could only suppress his goals by replacing him early, with Kane scoring five goals in three games, and attacking player Raheem Sterling in midfield, whose breakthrough put a lot of pressure on the defence!

In the last round, Vardy started again and scored England's second goal, which shows that Jones is not the only attacking point in England!

Whether or not they can contain England's attacking line will determine whether their teams can qualify.

'Ali was the starting point for the counter-attack with long balls, so we had to be vigilant as soon as we conceded the ball up front.

The player closest to Ali had to pounce on him and prevent him from launching a long counter-attack. ”

Andersson began to lay out his tactics: "If England launches a quick counter-attack, we have to watch behind us. ”

Pointing to the two full-backs, he said: "Don't think about it, in that case, all you have to do is break the ball off the touchline!" ”

'Don't try to keep the ball under control, Jones' tackling ability is surprising and you don't forget how those two lightning goals in England happened.

"In England's first World Cup game, it took Jones 47 seconds to score the Tunisian goal, and that goal was scored after he made a tackle.

In the match against Colombia, Jones scored against Colombia in the 5th minute, also from a steal up front. ”

At 1:55, the starters of both sides appeared in the tunnel of the players, and only three of the two teams played at the same club, England's Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard, and Sweden's Victor Lindelof, all three of whom were teammates at Manchester United, and they only nodded their heads, so there were no hugs between acquaintances.

Lindelof glanced at Jones, who was standing in front, and then closed his eyes, knowing that his task today was quite heavy.

The Swedish defenders took one look at Kane and won't let you score!

Led by four referees, players from both sides walked slowly onto the pitch and were greeted by a tsunami of cheers

The commentator exclaimed, "The much-anticipated football match is about to begin!"

Russian state television began to introduce the starters of both sides: "The Swedish team lined up in a formation of 442, goalkeeper: No. 1 Cesar; Four defenders: No. 16 Kraft, No. 3 Lindelof, No. 4 Glenqvist, No. 6 Augustinsson; Four midfielders: No. 17 Klasson, No. 7 Sebastian, No. 8 Ekdal, No. 10 Forsberg; Two strikers: No. 9 Marseillesberg and No. 20 Toivonen

Anderson's formation tends to be defensive.

Southgate lined up an attacking formation of 4321, goalkeepers: No. 1 Pickford; Four defenders: No. 6 Maguire, No. 15 Cahill, No. 5 Stones, No. 18 Ashley Young; Three midfielders: No. 8 Henderson, No. 20 Alli, No. 7 Lingard; Three forwards: No. 9 Kane, No. 10 Ster, No. 19 Jones.

In terms of formation, Southgate did not change the formation, but this time he did not let Vardy and let Sterling play the winger position!

The 4231 formation could change at any time, and England are likely to drop the two wingers to strengthen their midfield. ”
