Chapter 575: World Cup debut
As the two sides made final preparations for the game, journalists from all over the world were busy, and they already had their starting lists in their hands.
Marul lined up a formation of 4141, goalkeeper: No. 22 Hassan, four defenders: No. 12 Ali Marul, No. 4 Meria, No. 2 Yusuf, No. 11 Bron, midfielder: No. 17 Shriri, midfielders: No. 9 Badri, No. 13 Sasi, No. 8 Fakhreddin, No. 23 Sliti, and the only striker: No. 10 Khazri
4141 is a stable counterattack formation, relying on the numerical advantage of the midfield and the backfield to midfield and contain the opponent's attack.
Southgate lined up an attacking formation of 4321, goalkeepers: No. 1 Pickford, defender No. 6 Maguire, No. 5 Stones, No. 2 Kyle Walker, No. 18 Ashley Young, midfielders: No. 8 Henderson, No. 20 Alli, 10-Sterling, wingers: No. 7 Jones, No. 19 Vardy, and center forward: No. 9 Harry Kane
Gareth Southgate did as stated in the pre-match press conference, starting Jones and sending out three strikers.
The formation of 433 is an attacking formation, and many teams in the Premier League use this formation, and the players are also familiar with this formation!
The last two starters showed up in the tunnel, with Jones behind Kane and a little nervous, as is usually the case when it comes to their first time.
Kane turned to look at Jones, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Jones, are you nervous, I'm actually the same, is this my first World Cup appearance?" ”
Jones asked, confused, "What do you want to tell me?" ”
Kane removed the smile from his face: "Jones, although I am also nervous, but I am a few years older than you, for us this is just an ordinary World Cup game, the opponent is not even as strong as the opponent in the Premier League, we have to be confident." ”
England's players in this World Cup are indeed young, and Kane, who is in the World Cup for the first time, has won the captain's armband.
Kane knows that Jones has a heavy burden on his back, and of course he has a lot of his own, and England fans have put their hopes on them.
He said these words to decompress Jones, but also to decompress himself!
Jones said to Kane: "yes, we're all going to be nervous because we have expectations for our performance, so we're going to be nervous. ”
Vardy smiled at the two and said: "Being nervous is not a bad thing, it's a normal reaction and helps us concentrate better. ”
The Tunisian defenders looked at Jones, Kane and Vardy, three of the Premier League's most famous England strikers, and they couldn't help but have a headache.
Led by four referees, the starters of both sides took the hands of the caddies and walked out of the players' tunnel and into the court!
They were greeted by a tsunami of cheers......
Jones's heart slowly calmed down, and he had already abandoned everything off the field at this time to focus on this game.
As the players from both sides stand in the middle of the pitch and take a group photo, the players from both sides begin to prepare for the game.
……
The English national TV commentator shouted: "England's first match of the World Cup in Russia is about to start!" ”
"The attacking trident of Jones, Kane and Jamie Dardy have shown the world their attacking power in the World Cup warm-up, can Tunisia withstand their attack today?"
The London commentator exclaimed: "Jones' World Cup opener is about to begin, can he continue his magical form in the Premier League? It's something everyone wants to know! ”
The Russian state television commentator said: "Jones's wonderful performance this season has caused a lot of discussion, which has also put him on his back, and I hope he will not disappoint the fans who love him and give us a good game." ”
The commentator of Tunisian national television said loudly: "Tunisia is back in the World Cup after 12 years, and the North African team Tunisia has a number of players trained by the French youth system.
Tunisia will be aiming to win the group stage in order to win the World Cup finals again after 40 years.
Tunisia are back in the World Cup and hopefully they will surprise us today! ”
After the players of both teams have taken their feet, the referee signals to the goalkeepers of both teams and the two assistant referees.
"Tick! ……”
Then he blew the whistle for the start of the game and pressed the electronic watch on his wrist!
The English national television commentator shouted: "The game is officially on!" ”
The Tunisian national television commentator shouted: "Tunisia! Come on! ”
The London commentator said: "Jones' World Cup debut is officially underway! ”
In the stands, there were piercing cheers, and on the field, Sassi kicked the football back to the back, and England's front trident rushed into the Tunisian half!
Behind them are three midfielders, Jordan Henderson, Alli and Raheem Sterling.
Kane lunged towards Sciri, who had the ball, and Vardy ran towards Slitty to his left, who was waiting for a tackle.
Alli, Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling also blocked other passing lanes at this time.
A big net was formed in an instant, and the England national team used crazy pressing tactics at the beginning of the game!
Siciri, who was dribbling the ball, found that there was no one to defend on the right side of England, so he hurriedly transferred the football to Badri on the right side, Siciri did not expect that this was what the England team did on purpose!
At the moment when he made the passing motion, Jones was jogging at this time, and he suddenly burst out with amazing speed!
The moment the ball flew out of the inside of Shri's right foot, Jones suddenly accelerated and pounced towards the football!
Badri is also flying towards the football! The two of them are getting closer and closer to football!
The atmosphere in the Volgograd Arena suddenly became tense, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen on the pitch just 1 minute after the game started.
The commentator at the stadium shouted, "What happened? Could this be the fastest goal of the tournament? ”
The English national TV commentator said excitedly: "Hurry! Jones, hurry up! ”
On the field, Jones suddenly stretched out his right foot in the middle of a high-speed run and stole the football!
"Boom! ……”
The stadium once again resounded with a huge exclamation!
These exclamations ranged from the huge surprise of England fans to the worried voices of Tunisian fans.
Jones quickly passed in front of Badri, and then quickly headed towards the Tunisian penalty area!
Kane and Vardy are also running at high speed, providing Jones with a passing route and pinning down the opposition defenders.
Two Tunisian defenders, Meria and Alimarul, quickly lunged on Jones, who was bound to stop Jones.
"Smack! ……”
Jones crossed the ball to the unguarded Kane.
The pass was so unexpected that it left the Tunisian defence in disarray, and they didn't expect Jones to break through and shoot on goal, but instead chose to pass the ball.
Meria and Yusuf quickly adjusted their positions and began to defend Kane in the middle.
"Smack! ……”
Kane's choice once again surprised them, Kane did not choose to shoot when he had the opportunity to shoot from distance, but made a diagonal pass, and the ball flew in front of Jones again!
Jones accelerated again, then stretched out his right foot and led the soccer ball, which stopped a meter in front of him!
Jones took a deep breath, stepped forward with his left foot, and kicked the ball with his right leg vigorously!
"Smack! ……”
Jones opted for a powerful volley, and the ball flew quickly towards the bottom left corner of the goal!
