Chapter 662: Intermission
England national TV commentator Ah excitedly shouted: "Kane's goal, brace!" ”
Commentator Lineker also said excitedly: "Kane seized the opportunity of a single goal and sent the football into the Swedish goal, 2-0, England led by two goals, Kane scored twice, Jones scored two assists!" ”
The Samara Arena erupted in earth-shattering screams and cheers, and England fans turned the stadium into a sea of joy.
The Swedish fans looked at the stadium with expressionless faces, their eyes full of pain.
The Russian state television commentator exclaimed: "Both goals were Kane's goals, Jones's assist!"
In this game, Sweden were a bit over-focused on Jones, resulting in a leaky defense, but if Jones is left alone, both goals are Jones's!
Jones changed his previous style and dribbled the ball to the middle on a number of occasions, and this time it was the same, as he drew the attention of all the Swedish defenders with the ball down the middle, so Kane had no defenders around him.
So when Jones made a wonderful pass, Kane was able to comfortably get a one-on-one goal, and most of the credit for these two goals was Jones! ”
The Swedish TV commentator said loudly: "England's captain Kane, who scored 5 goals in 3 games, could have been in the limelight, but was overshadowed by Jones's 8 goals in 3 games."
Jones is still shining in today's pinnacle matchup, and from the game to the present, Jones has made several breakthroughs to produce five dangerous shots on goal.
Jones didn't have many chances to shoot in this game, but his passes to Rokane and Raheem Sterling were memorable.
But only Kane took the opportunity and scored a brace to bring the tally to seven!
Of course, Jones was also the brightest man on the pitch, and if it weren't for him drawing the attention of the entire Swedish defence, Kane wouldn't have been unmarked, and if he hadn't had a clever pass, Kane wouldn't have had such a good chance to score. ”
When the commentators of various TV stations in the broadcast seat analyzed the goal, Kane was already running on the turf with excitement!
He didn't go far away and suddenly realized something, turned around and ran towards Jones, and then the two hugged each other tightly!
In an instant, they were surrounded by their teammates, and they unleashed their enthusiasm to the fullest.
The game soon resumed, with a fierce battle in midfield, with Jones and Raheem Sterling joining in, and the two sides once again began to battle for midfield.
On the pitch, Sweden took the lead in the battle for midfield when Kraft handed the ball to Khasson in front of him on the left with a diagonal pass.
Klasson took the ball and teamed up with Sebastian, who had come up with the assist, to open the gap on the wing.
England didn't give them a chance and Sebastian only shifted the ball to the feet of Marcus, who followed up in the middle.
After winning the ball, Marcus could not get rid of Ali's defense and had to hand the ball to Ekdal, who followed up on the right.
At this moment, Jones accelerated and ran over, his center of gravity dropped, and he stabbed the football to Ali on tiptoe, and Ali took the ball and launched a long counterattack with a big foot.
Kane leaps high to beat Glenqvist and a beautiful header crosses the ball to the right.
Raheem Sterling cut forward at high speed to control the ball with his chest, and then slashed into the Swedish penalty area, where the Swedish national TV commentator said anxiously: "Here we go again!" ”
Raheem Sterling led the ball into the Swedish penalty area, and when he was intercepted by Augustinsson, the inside of his right foot suddenly snapped, and the ball changed direction and rolled towards the middle.
"Smack"
Raheem Sterling then fired a long-range shot that sent the ball in a small arc in the air towards the left side of the goal!
Olsen leapt to his feet and flew towards the ball, but his fingers failed to touch it!
The Swedish fans were desperate and the Dutch fans were ready to cheer, when the ball grazed the post and flew off the line.
"Boom!"
There was a huge exclamation in the stadium again, and some England fans said bitterly: "Raheem Sterling forgot to bring shooting boots today!" ”
It was the third time Sterling had missed a goal in the game.
Raheem Sterling stared at Sweden's post with no one knowing what he was thinking at the moment.
The Swedish national television commentator exclaimed: "Andersson must make tactical adjustments now, if England is allowed to fight back like this, there is no chance of winning!" ”
In the command area, Andersson's face became more and more ugly, but he didn't have a good way now, and if he continued like this, he had no chance to win at all!
He looked at his watch on his wrist and then waved his hand and told the two full-backs to reduce their assists and focus more on defence.
Now you can't break the opponent's goal, but you are attacked by the opponent, and you are thinking of a way in the second half!
Gareth Southgate responded by slowing down the tempo of his side and did not want to give them a chance to score late in the first half.
So the situation on the field was deadlocked again.
The International Sports commentator said: "There were only about five minutes left in the first half, and the coaches of both sides made tactical adjustments to strengthen the defence, and neither of them wanted to concede goals in the last minutes. ”
"This tactical adjustment is undoubtedly the right thing to do, but it makes the scene dull."
In the 44th minute of the first half, Marcus took a direct pass from Klasson and headed towards the England penalty area.
He was met with a strong block from the England defence, and without the support of his team-mates, he had to end the attack with a long-range shot at the end.
The soccer ball flies over the crossbar and out of the baseline.
In stoppage time, England's attack, Jesse Lingard fired a long-range shot from outside the box, and Olsen saved the ball from the bottom line.
The first half ended as the referee's whistle blew at the end of the first half.
The players from both sides returned to the dressing room, the broadcast booth was busy, and the TV stations were busy summing up the first half and looking ahead to the second.
The Russian state television commentator said: "It is clear that England have won a fantastic start.
Sweden were on the back foot when it came to creating good chances, as well as the number of shots on goal and shots on target.
It's not so much that England are too strong, it's better that this Swedish team is really not strong.
Jones changed his style and often dribbled the ball to the middle, and Kane's two goals came from Jones dribbling the ball down the middle and then passing.
Raheem Sterling had a couple of chances, but he wasn't lucky, otherwise he would have scored! ”
In the Swedish dressing room, the atmosphere was solemn, and Andersson broke the silence in the dressing room: "It is clear that Jones has changed his style, not only did he not shoot frequently, but even the breakthrough line has changed. ”
Lindelof wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Yes, Jones doesn't break through on the wing, but often takes the football to the middle!" ”
Anderson paused and continued, "How do we adapt?!" ”
The defender frowned slightly, lost in thought.
Andersson then gave the answer and the request: "When he is dribbling, there is nothing wrong with the nearby players to go and block it, but we must not relax with the other players.
It was no one to defend Kane that caused us to concede, and we had to pay attention to that in the second half, and we had to be careful with Raheem Sterling as well, because he was not unlucky, we didn't just concede two goals! ”
Anderson has a lot of headaches right now, England's two wings are so fast that even if they knew in advance what they were going to do, they couldn't stop them from finishing the shot.
It's a very disappointing and frustrating feeling.
