(PS: The second shift arrived, and it finally arrived before 0 o'clock.) The update is not timely during this time.,I'm sorry.,The author has very little spare time.,I hope you can understand.。 ）

Roy Hodgson doesn't know how many times he's wiped a cold sweat, and he doesn't know how many times he's gotten up and walked to the side of the pitch and yelled.

Unexpectedly, the three lions, who were all substitutes, under the leadership of their captain Wayne Rooney, started with a bang, and almost blasted the door of the Slovak Iron Rider with an overhead kick in the first ten minutes. Ten minutes later, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and he was pressed by the Eastern European Iron Cavalry in the half and could not get out.

In the 2nd minute, the first kick-off was the England team, Rooney passed a long pass from half a circle on his side, which accurately landed at the feet of Raheem Sterling on the left side, the short and agile Sterling stepped on a few laps of cycling around Peter Pecarrick, and then cut inside into the penalty area, and his former club teammate Martin Skrtel blocked the low ball from the inverted triangle to the penalty spot, and the 18-year-old Marcus Rashford, who participated in the international competition for the first time, stepped forward to grab the point directly, because the angle was too positive, Carried in the arms of Matus Kozachik.

The opening kick scared Slovakia coach Jan Kozak into a cold sweat: Fortunately, England's starting center forward was not the No. 9, otherwise such a close-range shot, with Qiansheng's bullet foot, not to mention Kozaczyk, is Italy's Gianluigi Buffon, Spain's David De Gea, Germany's Manuel Neuer, and the Czech Republic's Peter Cech...... These world-class goalkeepers can't save the shot of this talented Chinese striker who likes to hit dead corners.

Marcus Rashford held his head and yelled, unhappy with the shot, blaming himself for not hitting the angle.

If you want to occupy one of the positions of England's trident, don't think about it, Rashford has long extinguished the idea of competing with this monster, and Harry Kane and Jamie Waldy, the two rivals, still have a chance to fight for themselves, as long as they score goals and perform well, they may impress Huo Taigong.

Kane, who is regarded as the offensive core of Tottenham Hotspur, is not very good at playing positional warfare and dense defense (short for dense defense), although he scored one goal in two games, but the overall performance is not as good as the late blooming inspirational striker Walty, so Hodgson intends to examine the state of the substitute striker in this game, and the knockout game cannot afford to lose, and the most suitable player must be discharged.

This is also the reason why the substitutes performed like chicken blood in this game, even the two full-backs acted as wingers, and they also came to shoot from a distance to make a world wave.

In the 6th minute, England won a set-piece in front, Rooney took the penalty and hit directly over the crossbar.

In the 8th minute, Jack Wilshere dribbled past two players and went straight to the right side of the penalty area, Adam Lallana stopped wide, and Slovak left-back Tomas Hubocan cleared the bottom line.

In the 9th minute, Rooney took a corner kick to the front point, Chris Smalling ferried, John Stones grabbed a header and the goal was saved by Kozachik, Jordan Henderson hit the leg of Juraj Kucka, Viktor Pekovski cleared the ball to the touchline, Ryan Bertrand shot from distance and hit a plane.

In the first ten minutes, it was Kozak who wiped a cold sweat and roared on the sidelines, and after that, England seemed to have run out of sharpness, and God did not bless this group of lions when they had the advantage and could not score.

It seemed that Kozak's roaring and make-up made a difference, and it seemed that the Slovak players had bounced back from England's three-board axe and from Slovakia's first shot on goal in the 11th minute, things began to turn in Slovakia's direction.

In the 11th minute, Kozaczyk kicked off the goal, when the midfield was fighting for the top, the tall Kuczka pressed Wilshere to fight for a header, the ball fell at the feet of Marek Hamsik, and the Slovak star who got the ball passed diagonally to Vladimir Weiss on the left side, Weiss ran with the ball, his high-speed dribbling and flexible dribbling skills, not only got rid of Bertrand, but also scored a goal against Wales with a low cross near the sideline of the big penalty area, and Audrey Duda, who was arranged to play center, stepped into the penalty area, A false shot took away Smalling and diverted John Stones' attention, as right winger Robert Mark, who plays for Greek giants Panathinaikos, hit the near post wide of the near post unguarded, leaving Mark on his knees with his head in disbelief.

Kozak even threw his fist and shouted at the sky, such a good one-on-one opportunity was wasted.

And Hodgson's heart was beating violently, wondering if he was too big, if he lost this time and lost the top spot in the group, it would really be a bad steal.

He looked at the cadres on the bench and wondered if he should be replaced early to suppress Slovakia's arrogance.

Even the commentator joked that it was a game where the two sides were vying for a wasted chance.

Kozak's tweak, which was to tighten up the midfield and use his height and strength to bully England's three midfielders, was a useful change that allowed Slovakia to gain the upper hand for the entire first half ten minutes later.

Three minutes later, it was Weiss again, breaking through Bertrand and crossing again, Duda grabbed the point and hit the net.

In the 21st minute, Wilshere was tripped by Pekovski with the ball, retaliated in anger and was shown a topaz by the referee.

In the 26th minute, Weiss broke through Bertrand again, this time he did not cross, but cut inside with the ball into the box, and Smalling did not dare to make a reckless move, but just tightly blocked the opponent's shooting route. Seeing that there was no chance, Weiss crossed back to the top of the box and Hamshik rushed up to shoot a long-range shot that Fraser Forster spent, and the ball bounced off the crossbar in his palm.

Hodgson has a blue face, he is careless, the three midfielders except Jordan Henderson have a little defensive ability, Rooney and Wilshere are more than diligent, but they can't resist Slovakia's tough midfield, and the left-back Bertrand has become a huge hole, and Weiss alone blew up the entire left side, Sterling's retreat to help defend is simply an ornament, and the two can't prevent Weiss two-on-one, so that the 26-year-old bald head regards the left side of England as his own back garden, and he can take it at will.

There are only three precious places, and Hodgson doesn't want to use them up so early, in case there is an injury, there are not enough places to make substitutions, and if he plays more with less, he can't stop this wolf-like Eastern European iron army.

Adjusted, must be adjusted!

Hodgson kept shouting and gesturing at Wayne Rooney on the touchline, signaling all the midfielders to retreat to the defensive third, hold on to half the pitch, hold on until the end of the half, and then change the situation in the second half with substitutions.

If it weren't for Forster's excellent performance, Slovakia's lack of top strikers, and the bad luck of the midfielders, the Three Lions would have been beaten into a sieve long ago.

Seeing England defending all the way, Kozak waved his hand and pressed me up, I must strive for a goal in the first half!

In the 30th minute, Wilshere was fouled, and Hamsik took a free kick in front of the goal, which went straight over the crossbar.

In the 33rd minute, Weiss, who switched to the right side, broke through Nathaniel Klein and cut into the penalty area and hit the goal directly, which was saved by Fraser.

In the 37th minute, Slovakia corner kick, Stones cleared the ball with a header, Hu Bocan outside the big penalty area grabbed the landing point, and immediately divided the ball to the left, Weiss crossed with his right foot, Skrtel scored with a header under the sandwich of Smalling and Henderson, and was cleared by Wilshere on the goal line, and England escaped.

Seeing that the team was very passive, Gary Neville said to Hodgson: "Boss, if you drag it on, sooner or later you will lose the ball, I think, change the dry on the field, with him on the field, Slovakia will not dare to press up and play." ”

Hodgson wiped the sweat from his palms, nodded and said, "Let's warm up." ”

Kozak has been keeping an eye on the movements of the England coach's box, and he is worried that Hodgson will send the big killer of Qiansheng to the field early, in which case, he will be a turtle with a shrunken head and let England hold him down.

Sure enough, seeing Qiansheng warming up on the sidelines, a cold air rose from the soles of his feet in Kozak's heart, and he shouted anxiously: "Seize the opportunity and score!" Score me! ”

It seemed as if God heard him, and in the 43rd minute of the first half, England finally conceded a goal.

England's two flanks were too weak, and Slovakia's Weiss single-handedly broke Bertrand and Klein, this time using speed and technique to shake off Klein and Adam Lallana on the right flank, Weiss sent a quality cross, a crescent-like cross past Stones, and landed on the head of Hamsik, who was blocked by Duda, and Stones made the mistake of not clinging to Hamsik, leaving the unmarked Slovakia's biggest star headliner into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Forster, who had saved a lot of must-have goals, was unable to block the powerful header, and in the first half of the first half, Slovakia finally led 1-0, and the group points were caught up by Slovakia, who were still ahead of England due to the win.

Seeing the goal conceded, Hodgson's heart suddenly calmed down, he sat back in the dugout, and said to Neville: "Dry in the second half. ”

Not a replacement now? Neville looked at Hodgson with some confusion, and suddenly remembered that the first half was over in less than three minutes, and it was better to save it for substitutions in the second half, so that there could be more stoppage time.

Looks like I still need to gain experience. Neville, who aspires to be the head coach, thinks about it.

The defeat at Valencia once made him disheartened, and he has been wondering if he is suitable to be a coach.

This trip to the European Championship may allow you to find your way to the future. (To be continued.) )
