246. The Legend I

There is never stage fright in big scenes, and there is a big heart that is not chaotic, which are two important qualities that must be the star of a team.

It's hard to believe that a young player under the age of 15 has these two qualities, and at this age can become a double ace for club and national team, well, you think I play FM this game and create my own bug player addiction.

But in the eyes of hundreds of millions of spectators, witnessing the England national team in the unfavorable situation of falling behind 0-2, at the last moment before the end of the first half, the Three Lions ace striker Qiansheng seized the opportunity to score a wonderful world wave from 30 meters away, narrowing the score into a goal, and transferring the pressure to the European Red Devils Belgian national team.

At the moment when Qiansheng fired the ball into the upper left corner of the goal with a right-footed volley, on the field, in front of the TV, computer, and mobile phone screens, countless fans who supported the Three Lions and Qiansheng's fans burst out the grievances that had been held back for almost 45 minutes.

See! That's our super trump card!

See! That's our savior!

See! This is our hero!

Wait, the score is 1-2, the home team is in front, not 2-1, how can you be so optimistic?

Of course, I was optimistic, because the new king of the Three Lions, Qiansheng, broke out.

Arsenal won eight league games under his leadership, rising from fourth place in the league to runners-up and achieving their best league position since the 2004-05 season. The Three Lions can enter the top half of the "Europa League semi-zone" and reach the quarter-finals, as long as anyone who knows the ball can see that there is no dry life, England is very likely to lose the last game of the group stage and fall into the "Champions League semi-zone" of death to face the strong opponents Germany, Spain, Italy and France.

There was no excited celebration, and after Qiansheng scored the goal, he turned back to the half, he knew that the first half was over soon after the restart, and since the score was still behind, it was far from the time to celebrate.

However, England fans don't think so, and the Qiansheng who finally broke out brought them great confidence, in their minds, as long as Qiansheng fired, in the 45 minutes of the second half, it was a matter of time before he equalized, and it was not a problem to overtake, because he was Qiansheng, England No. 9 who had never been defeated.

"It's the first time I've seen the fans so excited and happy when the team is behind." Martin Taylor smiled wryly and wiped his sweat, the last few minutes were too nervous, especially from Qiansheng's goal.

"Of course, the dry who started to score goals can't be stopped, and there was a good show in the second half." Gary Lineker laughed.

Alan Shearer breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I hope Roy doesn't make any more stupid moves, although he corrected the mistake in time, but he always wasted two substitutions early, and if there is anything wrong in the second half, it will be troublesome." ”

"The lads are young, they're in good shape, they're not that injury-prone, and besides, there's basically no injury-prone players in the starting line-up at the moment." Lineker said.

'In the second half, we had to score early to equalize, otherwise the later the equaliser, the more variables there became. Taylor said.

Lineker and Shearer looked at each other, agreeing with Taylor.

In the knockout round of the international competition, it is very difficult for two teams with similar strength to score goals, because of the cruelty of a life-and-death decision in the knockout round, so both sides of the game do not want to make mistakes, play very carefully, and the focus of both sides is first to ensure that they do not concede goals.

Therefore, for a long time, the knockout rounds of the World Cup and the European Cup have rarely had big scores.

Mark Wilmots was struggling in the dressing room and he couldn't have imagined that the Englishman's all-out attack would put so much pressure on his team's defence. England's midfield configuration is characteristic, the three midfielders, especially the midfielder Eric Diere, have good attacking attributes, not to mention the Three Lions captain Wayne Rooney, who has been converted into midfield in advance.

With three midfielders pressing forward to the midfield position, two strikers and two full-backs who stepped forward to act as wingers, England invested so many troops in the front field that the Belgian defence was scrambling.

He is not as decisive as Roy Hodgson, the opponent replaced two strikers in half an hour to correct the error, and if he wants to defend the bus with all his might, he should immediately replace a forward waist and replace a back waist to make up for the lack of defensive strength.

Even if 6 defensive players are marked one-on-one, the number of attackers invested by England is 7 people, plus 8 people, the disadvantage in numbers causes Belgium to be prone to flaws in defense, as for the three forwards and center forwards who return to defense, forget it, their defensive ability may play a counterproductive role of one plus one less than two.

Didn't you see Romelu Lukaku staring at the tricks of the dry students? The goal conceded was not aimed at Qiansheng, allowing him to score from a distance when he was unguarded.

If he hadn't conceded a goal, Wilmots planned to switch to a midfielder at halftime to correct the error, but the difference of one goal was not safe at all, and Qiansheng's long-range shot made Wilmots know that if there were one or two more gaps in the second half, this long-range shot like England Nine with a navigation missile would make them fall to the semi-finals.

'In the first 20 minutes of the second half, we went all out to try to score another goal!' Wilmots laid out the tactics for the second half of the game: "If you score, or if you don't score in 20 minutes, you have to retreat, I will replace the frontcourt with three defenders, strengthen the defense, and try to maintain the lead!" ”

Alas, Jan and Thomas, one was seriously injured and withdrew from the tournament early, the other was suspended for this game, and I have too few defenders available here.

Yes, the only central defenders available in the Belgian team are 21-year-old Jason Denayer and 25-year-old Christian Kabasele.

However, the former only has 8 national team appearances, and the latter's national team appearance record is 0, which is obviously lacking in major tournament experience.

Oh, by the way, forget Manchester United defender Marouan Fellaini, who can play in the central defender position, he has a lot of experience in the tournament, but after transferring to Manchester United, he was cheated by two Manchester United managers, not only the form has declined greatly, but the main position of the national team has also been lost.

However, looking at Wilmots's tone, Fellaini still had hope of playing in the second half, after all, he was the only midfielder after Moussa Dembele's injury.

In England's dressing room, however, there was silence, and Hodgson's stupefied starting line-up made England players unhappy with him.

No matter how stupid these players are, they can also tell the clues from the starting list. Without Harry Kane and Jamie Valty, James Milner, who uses a wide midfield, and Adam Lallana, who is actually a midfielder but plays a winger position, is clearly Hodgson afraid of Belgium's strong midfield.
