As soon as the game began, Roy Hodgson and Gary Neville noticed something was wrong.

Martin Taylor, Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker on the podium also noticed something was wrong.

Australia retreated from the kick-off, with No.10 midfielder Tom Rokic and two strikers all back in their own half, and it was clear that Kangaroo boss Ange Postecoglou had given England a detailed analysis.

Australia's No. 4 Mayer Yedinak is familiar with these players, who know them well every year because they play in the league every year, and they know them well, especially Qiansheng, who beat the Eagles (Crystal Palace's nickname) at the Emirates Stadium more than a month ago, and then almost caused a brawl when a teammate injured him.

Knowing the explosiveness and scoring ability of Qiansheng, Australia deployed heavy troops in the defensive third, the three lines were compressed very tightly, and the midfielders not only ran to cut off the connection between England's midfielders and forwards.

In particular, no matter where Qiansheng runs, there will be two players following closely, even if Deli Ali rushes to the front court to exert pressure, it will attract the two players who can't take care of Qiansheng.

"That's just right, dry, you can attract the other person's attention." Wayne Rooney gave himself an excuse and then played a ball to Marcus Rashford in front of the right side of the penalty area.

"I'm going to score the first goal!" Marcus Rashford received the ball and kept screaming in his heart.

Ignoring the demands of Dry Son and Harry Kane to raise his hand, as well as Kyle Walker, who was on the sidelines, Rashford took the ball and rushed towards the box.

"Damn, what is Marcus doing!" Neville said angrily.

Hodgson glanced thoughtfully at Rooney, who was walking outside the box.

"Boy, dare to look down on us!" Australian centre-back No. 6 Bailly Wright was furious that an 18-year-old player would dare to single himself out.

Wright suppressed his anger and fixed his eyes on the approaching Rashford. The corners of his mouth curled: "I thought you were so talented, but that's it." ”

A lunge pounced forward, slammed into Rashford, and intercepted the ball with his left foot, Rashford staggered back a few steps after being hit by Wright, and raised his hand towards the referee to signal a foul.

The referee didn't look at Rashford. Keep your eyes on the player with the ball.

It's a reasonable rush, a successful defence, and the referee knows that both teams have similar styles, so the general collision and physical confrontation are manageable.

Rashford shook his hand in displeasure and muttered something in his mouth.

As if sensing something, the referee looked at Rashford, and the experienced Rooney rushed to the referee's sight and shouted: "Hurry back!" ”

After Wright gets the ball. The big foot drove forward and was easily picked up by John Stones, who took a few steps to Eric Deere, who passed to Rooney who dropped back to receive the ball, Rooney controlled the ball and saw Kane run to the middle, pull to the left side and raise his hand to ask, a few meters behind him was only No. 2 Josh Risdon. Mark Milligan, No. 8, is chasing Qiansheng.

If Rooney passes directly to Qiansheng, with Qiansheng's explosive power and speed. Cutting inside the box with the right-back without a problem and creating scoring opportunities.

With Qiansheng's footwork, scoring goals is simply not easy.

But Rooney was bent on bringing his little brother with him, and he looked at Rashford with a troubled conscience.

Marcus Rashford roamed down the right and crossed with Walker. Although Walker was unhappy that Rashford did not pass the ball to him. But as a professional player, he is playing for the national team, so Walker is still working hard with Rashford.

Rooney's eyes flashed, Qiansheng moved to the left, and Australia's center of gravity seemed to shift to the left. Marcus' chance has come.

Rooney picked up with his right foot, the ball flew to Walker, Walker saw Rashford start, jumped up and pushed the ball in front of Rashford, Australia's No. 3 left-back who is only 170 cm tall Aziz Bijic failed to fight for the top, looked back, and secretly screamed badly.

Marcus Rashford was quick to get to the ball, Bailly Wright was turning to chase back, Rashford made a quick stop, Wright rushed over his head, Rashford pushed with his right foot and cut inside the box.

Massimo Longo saw Kane blocked by Alex Wilkinson, Dryon being caught between Risden and Miligan, and captain Jedinak putting Ali on the edge of the penalty area, so he was relieved to close in on Rashford.

Rashford frowned slightly when he saw Longo lock his inside route, and Wright behind him also chased after him, and Walker shouted: "Marcus, pass it to me!" Bijic gritted his teeth and pulled the corner of Walker's coat and said fiercely: "Don't think about catching the ball!" ”

An anxious Neville ran to the sidelines and shouted, "Marcus, pass!" Pass! ”

Hodgson, sitting in the dugout with his arms crossed, looked calm and seemed to be oblivious to what was in front of him.

"What is Marcus doing! Still want to hit the door in this position? Shearer frowned.

Lineker shook his head slightly and said: "Today he is not in the right state, his mentality is a little unbalanced, I think he wants to overwhelm him in this game and prove his strength." ”

Shearer rebuked: "Ridiculous! Even if you want to compete with Qian, you can't take the national team as a child's play! ”

"It's just a friendly game, I don't think Roy seems to be stopping, otherwise, Wayne passed the ball to Marcus a few times with such obvious favoritism, can you not see it?" The corners of Lineker's mouth curled, Hodgson was scheming, using this game to rectify Rooney's ball tyrant, after all, the midfield, obviously there is no longer the position of the England captain.

Taylor's commentary suddenly became louder: "Marcus made a feint to deceive Australia's No. 7 player, but the opponent was unmoved, and the No. 6 player behind Marcus chased up, because he was in the penalty area, the No. 6 player did not dare to easily get off his feet, but he hit Marcus with his strong body, will Marcus lose the ball like the last time he was hit?" ”

Rashford felt the strong power of Wright behind him, gritted his teeth and walked out with the ball, Longo's positional sense was good, blocking Rashford's forward path, so that he could not find space to break through.

Wright, who was behind him, used his physical advantage to squeeze Rashford, and Rooney ran over and shouted: "Marcus, pass back!" Rokic followed him closely, and the two pushed each other as they ran.

Rashford knew that if he continued like this, he would lose the ball, but he was very unwilling, took a deep breath, and suddenly took the ball towards the bottom line, Wright followed, Rashford swung the ball back with his right foot, poked the tip of his left foot, kicked the ball under Longo's crotch, and then leaned forward to pass past Longo's left.

As a midfielder, Longo, who is not tall and agile and turned quickly when Rashford was about to break down from the left, caught him behind his back, and Australia's goalkeeper No.1 Matthew Ryan easily caught the ball rolling on.

At this time, there was a huge boo from the audience, and Ryan looked up and was dumbfounded.

Rashford fell to the ground, Longo raised his hands, and Wright bent down to spit at Rashford.

Is it a penalty?

Is it? (To be continued.) )
