Chapter 661: Battle of England (4)

When Joe Hart saw the goalkeeper on the bench warming up, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to avoid the tragic fate of the England goalkeeper, he had to cheer himself up, and Joe Hart made an OK gesture to Ranieri on the sidelines, signaling that he was fine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ranieri nodded, and then signaled that the substitute goalkeeper could go to a farther place to continue warming up, all of which Li Guo could see clearly, "Isn't this what I did to deal with Yan Junling?" Hehe, I was learned by the old fox. ”

Anyone who has watched the Premier League knows that England's full-backs are entirely from Tottenham, and the two black short defenders have super assist ability.

Raheem Sterling's personal breakthrough was a smash fire, and there was one person in sight, and that was right wing-back Walker.

Walker's English name translates to "walking man", and indeed as his name suggests, Walker's sprint ability is superb.

Suddenly, while Sterling and Geng Chong were tangling, a white shadow rushed up from the right side of England.

At this time, Walker is running straight forward along the sideline as if he is running 100 meters, which is a typical full-back assist routine.

"Geng Chong."

"Sterling."

Li Guo and Ranieri shouted out almost at the same time, of course, both noticing that Walker was plugged in at high speed.

Li Guo saw that as long as Sterling gently pushed the ball forward, Walker, who was quickly inserted, could blow up the left side of the Chinese team and cross from the bottom.

This situation is insolvable for Geng Chong, unless there are teammates to help him defend, he can only watch Walker go up, except for a foul and a yellow card.

At this moment, Geng Chong saw a red figure chasing after him, getting closer and closer to Walker.

"Zheng Zhi!"

Zheng Zhi cut from the oblique side, like a shortcut, "But ......" Geng Chong knew that Zheng Zhi was not a back waist, but a front waist, and this defensive awareness was indeed strong enough.

"Get out of the way!" Zheng Zhi yelled to avoid colliding with Geng Chong's teammates, and at this moment, Sterling pushed the ball forward just right, Walker did not slow down, and his left foot went forward to accelerate twice.

Zheng Zhi worked hard, although his speed was not as good as Walker's, but he always maintained his pressure on Walker behind Walker.

In the stands, Mu Fei also stood up, and at this time it was up to him to see who could grit his teeth, after all, they were all in an anaerobic sprint.

"Come on, Captain!" Mu Fei shouted, although he was the former captain, Mu Fei still habitually called the captain.

Someone behind him is like a small stone in a shoe, although there is no big problem, but the diaphragm responds to people, and Walker is always distracted.

Seeing that Walker was about to cross, Zheng Zhi made a flying tackle, which caused great psychological pressure on Walker, and finally although the ball was passed, it flew directly out of the opposite sideline.

After completing the tackle, Zheng Zhi sat on the ground and rubbed his thighs, which also consumed half of Zheng Zhi's life.

"Brother Zheng, it's okay, thank you for helping me fill in the position," Geng Chong stretched out his hand, Zheng Zhi waved his hand, "Don't pull me, let me sit for a while." ”

"Hehe," Geng Chong patted Zheng Zhi and walked away.

Li Guo also gave Zheng Zhi a thumbs up, the ball he just now was really defending with his life, and it was successful.

Zheng Zhi also has a small abacus in his heart, as a veteran, he has nothing to fight with young people, the only thing he can do is to have a better attitude, just like Mi Lu said back then, attitude determines everything.

As captain of the Reds' Liverpool side, Jordan Henderson has gradually established himself as an authority, and in England as well.

Many fans remember the scene when Henderson looked at Costa with his eyes in the league, when facing Chelsea striker Costa who wanted to stir up trouble, Henderson coldly used a king's contempt, and Costa was immediately honest.

Ranieri's tactics are clear, the midfield is completely handed over to Henderson, just as the Chinese team's midfield is completely handed over to Zhou Dun.

When England played on both sides, Zhou Dun and Henderson did not have the opportunity to directly confront, but when England's wings were contained, Henderson had more and more time to think about the ball.

In this way, the positive PK of the core of the two sides is inevitable.

Henderson took the ball in the midfield, Zhou Dun stepped forward to grab it, Henderson flashed the ball with his instep, but Zhou Dun immediately followed with the second kick and swept down with the ball.

The English players rushed up to surround Zhou Dun, but Zhou Dun did not make a move, but gave England a cold look.

Henderson clutched his ankles and sat on the ground for a moment, "I don't know what this dog thing is made of, it's like it's wearing a pair of iron shoes." ”

When Henderson took the ball again, he was still suppressed by Zhou Dun, this time Henderson learned to be obedient, half-turned to protect the ball, and if Zhou Dun kicked him, he would be 100% of the cards.

Zhou Dun couldn't break the ball, but squeezed out Henderson with his strong upper body and squeezed Henderson into his own half.

In the end, Henderson was squeezed back inch by inch, and Henderson, who couldn't bear it anymore, swung an elbow and hit Zhou Dun's body.

Zhou Dun fell to the ground in response, Henderson panicked, this was a red card action, and he immediately explained to the referee: "It was he who rubbed me and rubbed me." ”

England players also surrounded the referee, and Harry Kane said: "If you want to eat cards this time, what about the opponent who tackled Henderson just now? ”

The English players grabbed Zhou Dun and kicked people, using this as a lifesaver, and in the end, the referee also found a balance and just gave Henderson a yellow card.

At this time, Zhou Dun also got up, and Henderson came over to show goodwill, "Hey, buddy, you're too good at pretending." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dun gave him an extremely indifferent look, which made Henderson cold from head to toe.

"I've never seen someone so ruthless," Henderson thought to himself, and on the pitch it's called an aura, like Cantona's, an aura that people dare not violate.

Henderson is also a ruthless person, but today he met someone more ruthless than himself, and he was frightened, and since then Henderson has encountered Zhou Dun's defensive entanglement, and passed the ball to his teammates as much as possible, not to confront Zhou Dun.

0-0 in the first half, Ranieri was still firmly seated in Diaoyutai, and for an old coach like him, there were too many things to experience.

Li Guo looked at his watch, he was really lucky not to concede a goal in the first half, but Li Guo also knew that England did not exert his strength, look at their bench, Vardy and Drinkwater were sitting there, these were all playing with Ranieri back then, if the score was still 0-0 in the second half, then these big killers would definitely play.

The referee gave three minutes of stoppage time, and after a dull 0-0 45 minutes, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

There were sporadic boos in the stadium, as if the semi-finals shouldn't be so stuffy, but that's not something that the managers of both sides should think about, they just want to win the game, even if it's ugly.
