"Scared?" Martin Taylor and Alan Shearer were stunned by what Gary Lineker said.

Lineker sighed and said: "No matter how far England can go in the end, even if it is to win this European Cup, Martin, Alain, Roy must be out of class, he is no longer worthy of this national team." ”

Taylor and Shearer looked at each other and looked thoughtfully at the England dugout area together.

"Jan was injured and withdrew from this tournament, Mark boldly used this young No. 21 to replace him, Thomas was suspended, and the No. 23 who replaced him should be of the same type as him, but the substitution, the back line must lack run-in, and the rest except for No. 11 are all players who beat Hungary in the last game, such a rare opportunity, Roy is not on the other two strikers, obviously frightened by Belgium's record in the last big win over Hungary!" Lineker said hatefully.

"Mark boldly used No.21 and No.23, and also discharged so many attacking players, obviously wanting to replace defense with attack and reduce the pressure on the backline." Shearer shook his head and said: "In the case of the main force of the Belgian back line being injured and the strength is reduced, Harry and Jamie should have been played, and with the strong attack power, they can definitely take Belgium." But ......"

James Milner started his career as a winger, with great speed, strong physique, plenty of energy, good crossing, balanced left and right feet, can play on both sides, is agile and is a typical English style player: give it his all for the game.

But the shortcomings are also stark, like many England players, the tactical execution is excellent, but the ability to read the game is poor, the small technique is rough, the passing is unimaginative, and the midfield lacks the necessary vision.

Adam Lallana is one of the more technically successful players in the England national team, with some passing skills and vision, but his lack of physical confrontation has made it difficult for him to maintain his consistent form in the front line.

With several of Belgium's main defenders injured, Roy Hodgson uncharacteristically did not send out a front trident, obviously a European Red Devil who was afraid of recovering form.

Hungary, which was the first in the group and almost outed the powerful Portugal, was bloodied by Belgium with 4 goals, and the amazing performance of a group of talented players shocked the Three Lions coaches, especially the Belgian captain who saw him return to peak form, and the winner of the Premier League Player of the Season last season, Hodgson conservatively sent a single striker, obviously wanting to avoid Belgium's offensive and play defensive counterattack tactics.

Hodgson had clearly forgotten that he had a powerful nuclear weapon under his belt, and that they had beaten Northern Ireland defensively by five goals in the quarter-finals.

Perhaps it is the historical record of this young team nicknamed the "European Chinese team", which played well with the Three Lions and played badly because of the unbearable historical record of the three meows, and Hodgson lost the confidence to win in such an important game. The pressure of quitting class if you don't get good grades has to back down in the face of a powerful opponent who is full of geniuses.

As the saying goes, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the most fearful thing in a football game is to suddenly change people and change formations, disrupting the original deployment.

The progress after the start of the game was a testament to Lineker's vision.

Belgium coach Mark Wilmots couldn't sleep on his day off because he was afraid that England's top three scorers would play at the same time, which would put Belgium under huge defensive pressure.

Because the two main defenders, Jan Vertonghen, withdrew from the European Championship due to a torn ankle ligament, the left-back had to reuse the only substitute, Jordan Lukaku, the younger brother of the main centre-forward Romelu Lukaku. Another main central defender, Thomas Vermaelen, was suspended due to accumulating yellow cards and had to be replaced by a substitute centre-back.

In this way, the Belgian backline is unrecognizable, Jordan Lukaku only has four national team appearances and lacks major tournament experience, and Laurent Seaman, although he is in his thirties, has only 12 national team experiences in the shadow of Belgium's four central defenders who have long occupied the main position, and his major tournament experience is not much better than Jordan Lukaku, who is only 21 years old.

And in such an important knockout game, with such a lack of run-in defence, facing the trident of England, Wilmots can imagine how busy Thibaut Courtois's door will be.

Portugal's 18-year-old talented defender Renato Sanchez's back-to-back performances in two knockout games have led Wilmots to decide to reuse Jordan Lukaku, hoping that the young left-back, who is three years older than Sanchez, will break out like the former. The four attackers in the front field are just to replace the defense with attack and play against England, hoping that Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku, who play in the Premier League, can score more goals with knowing their opponents.

As for the backline, Wilmots is actually not worried about the Three Lions' Harry Kane and Jamie Valti, the two strikers, Courtois and Toby Alderweireld, know very well, the only thing that keeps him awake is that he has scored seven goals in four games, and if he hadn't played in the second half, he is very likely to equal or break the goal record held by Michel Platini, the all-time goalscorer of the European Championship.

Alderweireld, De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku have played against Qiansheng in the Premier League, and they all solemnly said that with the current Belgian defense, they will definitely not be able to stop Qiansheng's attacking power, especially Qiansheng's terrible shooting skills, even if Courtois is possessed by Lev Yassin, Francisco Toldo, Peter Schmeichel, Oliver Kahn, Edwin van der Sar, Igor Casillas and other goalkeepers, I am afraid that Qiansheng will not be able to save the "blind corner shot" hated by many goalkeepers.

Wilmots thought, since the defense is unguardable, then attack, I don't believe that with a strong midfield, it will not be able to break Joe Hart's butter hand.

To his surprise, among England's starting forwards, there was only one centre-forward.

Won the lottery? Won the lottery?? Won the lottery! Wilmots was ecstatic, he knew that the 4-0 win over Hungary had made Hodgson fearful, although he couldn't figure it out, but since he had arranged an attack-oriented tactic before the game, he resolutely carried it out to the end.

After Slovenian referee Damir Skomina blew the whistle, Belgium, who kicked off first, took the lead, Yannick Carrasco resisted Wayne Rooney's pressing, diagonally passed behind Danny Rose, Thomas Meunier accelerated to lead Rose half a body after receiving the ball, without waiting for Ross to get off his feet, he crossed directly with his right foot, and the ball was hoisted high into the penalty area, and the tall Romelu Lukaku resisted Chris Smalling, and the header faked a real pass, and the ball was returned to the top. De Bruyne, who was cut forward in the middle of the penalty area, was unguarded and volleyed directly with his right foot, Hart struggled to save, although his fingers touched the ball, but still could not prevent the ball from scurrying into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Belgium took advantage of England's slack in the opening kick-off and opened the scoring with a beautiful quick attack from Kevin De Bruyne. Just one minute into the game, Belgium led 1-0! This goal is the fastest goal in the history of the European Championship! (To be continued.) )
