231. Own goal assists

This is the first time that a British and Chinese media and internet company have cooperated in the live commentary of a sports event, with three commentators on the England side, Martin Taylor, Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer, and two video link guest commentators, Frank Lampard and Jurgen Klinsmann.

Former England midfielder Frank Lampard couldn't come to the scene because of the major league games, and Jurgen Klinsmann just finished the Centennial Copa America and led the United States team to fourth place.

On the Huaxia side, there are two beautiful women hosting the reality show "Goddess's European Cup", the long-haired is the otaku god of the Chinese sports world, Liu Xixi, nicknamed "Squid Liu", and the short-haired is Xie Xiaoqian, uh, a female anchor called "Travel is Awkward".

Since it is called the European Cup of the goddess, in addition to the two beautiful heroines, there are also goddess guests, Wu You and Sun Jiayu, who became popular with the online series "Residual Sin".

It's not enough to be beautiful, there are also handsome guys, Zhang Yishan, the actor of "Residual Sin", Yi Zhaomao, Bai Ke, Kong Lianshun, and former Chinese internationals, Hao Donghe, known as "Hao Cannon", is from Hong Kong Island, used to be the Hong Kong Island national football team, and later became a popular comedian Zeng Zhiwei.

Four beauties, six handsome guys, plus three musketeers, if it weren't for the fact that this studio was large enough, otherwise it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

In the Huaxia camp, Liu Xixi knows a little about football among the beauties, and Hao Dong and Zeng Zhiwei are professional in the man, because it is the first time to do a commentary on the stadium, although it is not on the field, but you can still feel the enthusiasm of the fans outside from the huge screen.

Whether it is the TV set in China or the UK and overseas, what is seen is the same picture, because the players are already playing on the screen singing the national anthem, taking advantage of this time, Taylor interprets the starting lineups of both sides.

England, as the home team, wore a white jersey and the formation was the international mainstream 433.

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Joe Hart

Right-back: No. 12 Nathaniel Klein

Centre-backs: Gary Cahill No. 5 and Chris Chris Smalling No. 6

Left-back: 3 good Danny Rose

Defenders: No. 17 Eric Deere, No. 20 Deli Ali

Midfielder: Wayne Rooney (c)

Forwards: No. 15 Jamie Walty, No. 9 Qiansheng, No. 7 Raheem Sterling

Away Northern Ireland in the green jersey with a 451 formation:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Michael McGovern

Right-back: No.18 Aaron Hughes

Centre-backs: No. 4 Gareth Macaulay, No. 20 Craig Cathcart

Left-back: No.5 Jonny Evans

Right midfield: No. 19 Jamie Ward

Central midfielders: No. 8 Steven Davis (c), No. 13 Corey Evans, No. 16 Oliver Norwood

Left midfield: No. 14 Stuart Dallas

Forward: No. 10 Kyle Lafferty

"Hao, what do you think of England's starting line-up?" Martin smiled and looked at Hao Dong.

Since it was the first time to participate in this type of commentary, the people on the Huaxia side seemed more reserved, so Martin wanted to liven up the atmosphere by communicating with the Huaxia side.

But if you want to ask questions, you should first ask those who understand the ball, Martin is not stupid, those young beauties and handsome guys in front of him are playing soy sauce, and this kind of professional question is more appropriate to ask professional people.

Everyone has a copy of the information of the game, and the Chinese people have a translated version into English, and everyone wears a simultaneous translator in their ears, so even if they can't speak English, they are not afraid.

Hao Dong had already been prepared, and when the camera was on him, Hao Dong replied calmly: "Compared with the first two games of the group stage, Kyle Walker, who has always been the main right-back, did not play this time, and it should be Klein's performance in the third game that left a deep impression on Hodgson." Klein's crosses are better than Walker's, and he has a good sense of defensive position, and Hodgson may be intending to play on the wing. There are also two changes, one is to use Wayne Rooney in midfield, which should use his rich experience in the tournament, and the left winger has become Sterling, which should use his speed and dribbling to open up the wings, and if it is a tough battle, Sterling is more suitable than Kane. ”

Martin nodded with a smile, in the end, it is a former international player of Huaxia, and he is still more professional.

But now is not the time for small talk, as the English Civil War begins as the two teams sing their national anthems, choose sides and kick off as referee Damir Scominer whistles.

England kicked off first, after Qiansheng passed the ball back to Rooney, he turned and ran forward, Sterling and Vardy on both sides also rushed to the front, Northern Ireland did not adopt high pressing tactics, but three lines compressed in the defensive third area, clearly knowing that the skills are not as good as others, it is better to put the bus and fight for a penalty.

The bus is not scary, the scary thing is that you are not placing a bus, but a minibus.

Many of the internationals in the Northern Ireland team play in the English league, and have played against many England starters in the Premier League, especially Cathcart and Yoni Evans as defenders, and have experienced the terrible Qiansheng, so Cathcart and Colin Evans and Macaulay form a triangle between the Qiansheng in the middle.

However, Northern Ireland is not England's Russia, nor Turkey and Australia, and the tactics of cutting dry are simply ineffective, and Qiansheng took the initiative to switch positions with Varti, often running to the wing, making Northern Ireland's defense very passive.

Rooney saw that Northern Ireland retreated so far back after kick-off, and was embarrassed to fall in central midfield, and the tactic laid out by coach Roy Hodgson before the game was to use Klein and Sterling to play on the wings, and hand over to Qiansheng and Vardy in front to finish the opponent.

Rooney split the ball to the right side, Klein easily broke through Dallas with the ball, Qiansheng ran to the side to resist Evans, Evans didn't dare to be close, he knew very well that if he was close, this terrible Chinese kid would be able to give him a taste of what the power of a beast was.

Toganson suppressed Evans's blessing, Klein passed a low cross near the sideline of the penalty area on the right side like no one, and Valti in the middle grabbed the point, and was intercepted by Cathcart, who was in a better position, Cathcart made a fatal mistake, he didn't kick the ball out as usual, probably seeing that he was not facing Qiansheng, but Walty, so he made a short pass to Corey Evans in front.

But how did Corey Evans know that Cathcart didn't open his big feet, and he didn't notice that he was running forward after cutting the ball and rolling behind him.

When Klein crossed, Qiansheng had already run towards the middle of the penalty area, he knew that Walty in the penalty area could not carry the opponent's two central defenders at all, he didn't expect Cathcart to give him such a good gift, he just ran behind Corey Evans, and saw the ball roll in front of him.

Qiansheng was slightly stunned, but soon didn't think of anything, and directly picked up his left foot and shot, so, at the top of the arc of the big forbidden area, everyone saw it, and in less than three minutes after the opening, a great drama of Infernal Affairs was presented in front of the audience all over the world.

What everyone saw in the eyes of everyone was that Cathcart did not kick off the ball after cutting off the ball, but made a short pass in front of him, which happened to fall at the feet of Qiansheng who ran to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Qiansheng smiled at the opponent's assist gift, and shot with his left foot, and the ball swooped into the upper right corner of the goal, and Northern Ireland goalkeeper McGovern looked at everything in front of him in a daze, feeling very painful.

Of course, it hurts to be betrayed by his teammates, and no one can figure out why the Northern Ireland central defender would pass the ball to Qiansheng and assist him to break through the door of his national team teammates.

Taylor, who was in the studio, laughed and said something that everyone thought was true: "Being pitted like this by a pig-like teammate, is Michael's psychological shadow area as big as the earth?" ”

"Poof", the four beauties covered their mouths and smiled, seeing that the otaku and single dogs in China drooled, that smile was simply beautiful.

β€œgooooal……! In the 3rd minute of the first half, the Northern Ireland defender made a mistake in passing, and England's striker immediately shot into the upper right corner of the goal after intercepting the ball. ”

In the video, Jurgen Klinsmann exclaimed: "England's no.9 has a lot of movement and awareness, he is the quintessential player who plays with his brain. ”

Lineker nodded in agreement with his old rival's words: "Jurgen is right. Looking at Qiansheng, who was overwhelmed to the ground by his teammates to celebrate, he analyzed the process of scoring just now: "The goal just now, many people think that it was luck, and the opposing player's passing error led to the goal." But is it just luck? Qian first used his deterrence to suppress the Northern Ireland fullbacks did not dare to move, creating space for Nathaniel to cross the side, you can see that when Nathaniel crossed, Qian was already close to the middle, it is obvious that he consciously came here, whether it was to grab the second drop point or suppress the opponent's middle defense, Qian came to this area, just when the opponent's pass fell at his feet, whether it was the opponent's mistake or not, the running position he chose was very correct, and he could score, isn't it the opportunity for Qian to run out? ”

Shearer sighed: "It is said that Thomas of Germany is flexible and very good at using his brain. We have players like that in England as well. ”

Martin glanced at Klinsmann in the video and smiled: "But Thomas's last shot is not as good as a shot." ”

Klinsmann shook his head with a wry smile, the last game of the group stage and Northern Ireland, the whole game was dominant, and the German team, which bombarded 26 shots indiscriminately, could only score one goal, Thomas Muller, the top scorer of the team in the two-time tournament, although he assisted a goal, but two on the post, and missed a single knife, did not score a goal in this European Cup, and England, which was also against Northern Ireland, scored on goal for the first time.

"100 per cent shots, what a horrible guy." Klinsmann muttered to himself. (To be continued.) )
