Chapter 589: Intermission

Jones' goal ignited the passion of the fans on the field, the flags in the stands danced in the wind, and the stadium resounded with blood-boiling screams and cheers......

The English national TV commentator shouted excitedly: "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! ……”

The commentator shouted excitedly: "Jones has scored the goal of Panama for the third time!" Jones scored a hat-trick before half-time! Jones scored a hat-trick in his second World Cup game! ”

Penedo thrust in frustration, not knowing whether to blame himself or his teammates, he made the save too late just now, because there were too many people in the penalty area, blocking his view.

By the time he spotted the football, it was too late to make a save.

This is already the opponent's fifth goal in the half, he has already broken down a little, and he is 5 goals behind the opponent before the end of the half, is there really such a big gap between us?

…………

Instead of going to the game, Ball sat in his office and enjoyed a soccer game while enjoying a beer.

Jones' hat-trick excites him, on the one hand, he is happy for his friend, and on the other hand, Jones's two companies can use the platform of the World Cup to maximize their popularity.

The company's fame is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger......

"Jones, for the sake of our future, you have to keep up the good work! We will succeed, absolutely will! ”

……

On the England bench at the stadium, Southgate was also a little worried when he celebrated the goal, and if Jones was replaced at this time, Jones would definitely not be satisfied.

But if he didn't change, he was a little worried that Jones's form would explode too early, and the opposing player's increasingly big defensive moves would hurt Jones!

Southgate started to struggle a bit, but he was a decisive man and quickly made up his mind to replace Jones in the second half.

The game restarted, Panama was no longer ready to attack, and the defeat was not terrible, but the big defeat in this game has already hit the morale of the Panamanian team.

England once again kept the football at their feet and Southgate yelled at his players to slow down the tempo.

Jones has become the target of Panama's attack, so whenever Jones gets the ball, he will be directly fouled by Panamanian players and brought down.

Jones got up from the turf again and again, which made Southgate even more determined to replace Jones.

The Russian commentator said: "Panama has given up attacking, once Jones has the ball, they use foul tactics and do not give Jones a chance to carry the ball forward at all, of course, this also comes at a price, Panama has several people with yellow cards on him." ”

Jones stepped forward to take a free kick, which went around the wall and suddenly changed direction towards the left side of the penalty area!

Kane leaps high and overwhelms the opposing defenders, a beautiful lion shakes his head, and the ball heads towards the goal!

Penedore yelled and struggled to lift the ball off the crossbar!

The game soon restarted and England began to return to their own half, with little time left in the first half, which gave Panama the opportunity to attack.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Godoy made a diagonal pass in front of the England penalty area, and after Rodriguez took the ball in front of the penalty area, he turned around with a pull ball and found a chance to shoot.

Rodriguez fired a powerful shot, but he couldn't control the ball and it flew over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Panama made a comeback, Rodriguez crossed from the wing, and striker Perez forced Maguire to head home!

With the ball angled too wide, Pickford held the ball in his arms.

In the last minutes of the first half, Panama changed their previous stubborn form and launched a wave of attacks.

In first-half stoppage time, Panama were awarded another corner when full-back Escobar kicked the ball into the England box.

The soccer ball hits the head of Balcenas and flies backwards!

Rodriguez, who was ambushed at the back post, leaped to the top and the ball flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal!

At the critical moment, Stones, who was standing next to the post, stretched out his right foot and blocked the football out of the penalty area!

From outside the box, Jesse Lingard took control of the ball and was ready to launch a quick counter-attack, but the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

With a big lead, Lingard didn't argue with the referee either.

The England players walked off the pitch to the applause of the fans and headed for the dressing room.

Soon, the fans in the stands also quieted down, and they also needed to rest.

The Panamanian fans are very, very silent, their team is now five goals down and have largely failed to create a goal.

England fans were quite excited, talking about Jones' three goals and Kane's two.

"In two games, our team scored 10 goals, Jones scored five goals and Kane scored four, which shows that the two of them are in really good shape!"

"Five goals, Jones has scored five goals in two games! Can he break the single-season World Cup scoring record? ”

"I have a strong hunch that Jones will score in the second half and he will have a senior today!"

……

In the broadcast seats, the commentators of major TV stations did not rest, they were busy summarizing the first half and looking forward to the second half.

The Russian commentator said: "There is no doubt that Jones' goal in the opening five minutes upset the balance on the field and disrupted Panama's pre-match deployment.

Once again, we have to praise Jones, who completely used the World Cup arena as a stage for his own performance, scoring with two beautiful free-kicks, penetrating the Panama goal in succession, and completing a hat-trick in just half time!

If he continues to do so in the second half, he will definitely have a big four, and in the entire history of the World Cup, only seven people have achieved this goal! ”

The English national television commentator said: "I think England should have done the same tactics as they did fifteen minutes after the first half in the second half, slowing down the attacking tempo because we were already five goals ahead!

The players have to protect themselves, after Jones' hat-trick, the Panamanian players have become rough, I'm afraid that if this goes on, our players will get injured sooner or later, it's not good for England at all, we're thinking about the knockout rounds now! ”

The England commentator's partner also nodded and said: "You're right, it's better to replace Kane and Jones, after all, we have a five-goal advantage, and we are not afraid of Panama turning the tables in the second half." ”

……

In the England dressing room, the atmosphere was lively as his team-mates congratulated Jones.

After praising his players, Southgate said to Jones: "Jones, you can rest for the second half. ”

Jones was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Southgate, and to be honest, he really wanted to finish his senior year.

Southgate didn't explain much to him and said to Cahill: 'Gary, you get ready, you come on in the second half. ”

Kane was afraid that Jones would be emotional, so he whispered in Jones' ear: "Jones, you better leave your senior in the later games, in addition, the coach is also protecting you, he doesn't want you to be on the injury list." ”

Jones also knew in his heart, although he was still unwilling! But I can only nod and agree!

The Panamanian dressing room was in mourning, a stark contrast to the pre-match situation.

At that time, they were full of confidence and hoped to pull out their teeth and beat England to steal a place.

However, the reality was so brutal that the opposition came and went freely at their back in the first half, finding five holes in their own team's goal.

The World Cup is about strength, even if the team has momentum, the difference in strength is too big, and it is useless to have momentum and hard work.
