"The ball is in!! goooooooooooooooooooooooal！！ The on-site commentator fell into a frenzy for a moment-" Only five minutes into the opening, Alan . . . Wang opened the scoring for the team with a precise long-range shot! Pretty! Wonderful! It was Allen's sixth goal of the tournament and his tally was much higher than Irving's three. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"From here we can see how good Allen is. In the first five minutes, Owen had two very good shots on goal, but he couldn't score, and Allen only had one shot on goal to break through the door of Ecuador, which is the strength of the world's top scorer! ”

"Efficiency, his efficiency is too high! Also as a striker, Irving, who seems to be extremely good, is not competitive in front of Allen. ”

The live commentator is not an English fan, in fact, it is a German, he is the royal commentator of Stuttgart, and his opinion may represent the opinion of the public.

Wang Li's shooting efficiency is too high!

The fans in the stadium looked at the opening goal, and it became hot in an instant, and the original worries of the fans who supported England disappeared without a trace, and it can be seen from this goal that at least the brunette boy on the field is in good shape, and they don't have to worry about problems in today's game.

With a lead in the opening five minutes, could there be a better start?

Next, England fans are looking forward to the game, they like to see a hearty big win the most, maybe such a game is boring for neutral fans, but as a supporter of the England team, the easier the team wins, the stronger the team, which will make the fans feel a heartfelt pride.

McLaren was also full of smiles, he felt that there was no suspense in this game, since England scored first, then how easy is it for Ecuador to equalize again?

Because England will score more goals than their opponents.

That's always been McLaren's founding purpose, and that's what Wang Li is all about in the game: no matter how many goals your opponents score, as long as we score more than them, we will win.

Obviously, this is a view that Thomas does not want to see, as he is the goalkeeper of England.

As a goalkeeper, if the team's approach to the game is like this, then the goal he guards will definitely suffer from crisis after crisis, which is by no means what Thomas wants to see.

The World Cup is indeed a platform to show yourself, but even the strongest goalkeeper wants to be very laid-back on the pitch, because FIFA likes to use the number of goals conceded more when judging the best goalkeeper.

A goalkeeper who has conceded 10 goals is obviously not competitive in front of a goalkeeper who has conceded 1 goal, because everyone will not pay attention to the style of play and tactics of each team.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Wang Li, who is now excited about scoring goals on the pitch.

"Haha, Ellen congratulates you!" Harrison also shouted from the bench.

At this time, after Wang Li scored, he had already run directly past the team's bench and ran in the direction of the England fans, and after reaching the east side of the stands, he waved his hands at the fans, releasing the excitement in the hearts of the fans.

It was his first goal in the knockout rounds of the World Cup, and it was something to celebrate.

However, the game was still going to be played and after two minutes, the referee urged the England players to get in their positions and the game resumed.

Wang Li's goal just now had some impact on the mentality of the Ecuadorian players.

Before the game, every Ecuadorian player was instilled with the idea that the No. 21 brunette was very strong, but they never expected it to be that strong.

The cold shot from the outside of the penalty line, such a long distance, such a sudden kick-up shot, but still playing so powerfully, such a level of shooting is a shock to every Ecuadorian player.

So, each of them was a little surprised!

If this brunette can always have this kind of game form, no matter how they behave, the whole team will not be able to catch up with him alone. The team's main striker Delgado is the pillar of Ecuador, but after watching Wang Li's performance, they feel that Delgado is almost worthless compared to Wang Li.

How can this allow them to play the game wholeheartedly?

They had to devote some of their energy to keeping an eye on Wang Li to prevent Wang Li from continuing to behave like this, and if England scored one more goal, today's goal would really become a tragedy for Ecuador.

Delgado is 32 years old, but the veteran still looks strong, and he has seen the whole process of scoring just now, at least he knows in his heart that he can't score that kind of goal.

But that doesn't affect Delgado's mentality.

Having been in the professional league for 15 years, Delgado has seen so many scenes, and his rich experience has made his mentality as iron, and he knows that if he has a calm mentality, he can only find opportunities to score goals and hope to win the game.

Although there are some doubts about Wang Li's strength, Delgado is a striker and a sharp knife at the forefront of Ecuador.

In the game, he did not have any defensive tasks, as a veteran with declining physical fitness, his task is to score goals like Wang Li, and only scoring goals can increase the team's hope of victory and the confidence of his teammates in the game.

After the restart, Delgado was at the front of the formation, ready to receive a pass and launch a counter-attack.

Yes, fight back.

England's attack is still going on, and it is impossible for Ecuador to launch a fierce attack because they have to be attentive to their defence at all times. Their tactics can only be defensive counter-attacks.

After Wang Li's goal, England's attack looked more aggressive, and the players worked together fluidly.

However, as Ecuador adapted to England's attack, they got better and better defensively!

Seeing this scene, McClaren in the coach's seat looked helpless.

The level of football in England has always been the best in the world, but compared to teams like Spain, Brazil and Argentina, they will be much worse, and against this kind of team, England rarely wins.

Why is that? Could it be that the level of the English players is not good?

Of course not!

The level of the players in the English team is by no means bad, most of the players in the entire team are from the Premier League, from European giants, and the Premier League has now surpassed Serie A and La Liga to become the world's first competition, as the main players of the Premier League giants, the level is not likely to be bad.

However, it is the team composed of the main players of these European giants that has performed in a mess on the international stage.

The root cause of this is England's attacking style.

Most of the players produced by the bottom clubs in England are all physical, not technical, which makes these players always outstanding in physical confrontation after they have become talents.

This type of player is popular in other leagues.

However, when so many physical-minded superstars are all in one team, there are some problems with the team, that is, it is difficult to execute complex tactics, so McClaren's tactical style follows the traditional style of England's simple attack.

It's not that he doesn't want England to play a beautiful Spanish attack, it's that England can't play this kind of attack at all, and there will be many, many problems with the players' coordination.

And now, such an England team is at war with Ecuador in South America, and after ten minutes of play, Ecuador has completely seen through the simple attacking methods of the England team, and their defense is becoming more and more solid.

Because they know which direction England are going to attack, they just need to defend well against their surnames.

Maybe there is also a variable in the England team, and that is Wang Li.

Wang Li's skill is unquestionable, and he is perhaps the only player in the England team who pays attention to his skills, and with his dribbling, most of the Ecuadorian players have become puppets.

However, with this little variable, it will not be easy to break through Ecuador's goal again, and at least in the 20 minutes since Wang Li scored, England did not get any more good chances.

Then, next is Ecuador's counterattack.

The delay in scoring goals made the England players a little anxious, so Ecuador found an opportunity and took advantage of a goalkeeper holding the ball with both hands, Ecuador launched a wave of fierce attacks.

This time it was the defender Ambrosi who launched the attack, this player who plays in the Argentine league, is the pillar star of the Ecuadorian backfield, although he is only a defender, but Ambrosi's overall awareness is very good, after seeing the goalkeeper Bella Forte holding the ball, he directly shouted for the ball, and then let the ball accurately find Mendes on the left side with a big foot.

The 26-year-old plays for the University Athletic League in Quito, a well-known player in South American football. This is mainly due to his excellent footwork and free kick skills.

In the 2005 Copa Libertadores match against Bolivia's Bolivar, he kicked a beautiful arc from 37 meters out, and the ball hung into the top left corner of the goal with a strong spin and drop. Later, in another game, he was almost in the same position, scoring a powerful outside instep curling goal. In the match with Argentina, before the center circle, he directly hit the post of the Argentine team with a powerful shot, and goalkeeper Abang Danceri broke out in a cold sweat.

Such long-range shots and free-kick abilities have made Mendes a boom in South American football, and before the World Cup, it was rumored that PSI Eindhor of the Eredivisie wanted to bring in Mendes, with a transfer fee of more than 6 million pounds.

Such a player would certainly be the heart of Ecuador's midfield, and this time, Mendes showed that ability again, after receiving a pass from Ambrosi, he and Ajovi made a one-two, and after lying forward quickly, he completed a powerful long-range shot directly on the right side of the penalty area.

It's a pity that the football grabs the pillar and draws the bottom line.

Even so, this shot still shocked Thomas who fell to the ground into a cold sweat, it was too dangerous!

Mendes' shot seemed to start a frenzy of Ecuador's counter-attack, and perhaps the Ecuadorian players found it not very difficult to score, so they played better and better, and after another weak attack by England, Ecuador finally had a good chance.

This time it was Tenorio on the wing, a player who was truly unknown, playing for a promoted side of the Ecuadorian league, but this time he was a big contributor to the team's attack.

After receiving a pass from a team-mate on the halfway line, Tenorio sent striker Delgado out of an offside position, who headed straight at goalkeeper Thomas to form a one-on-one ball before equalising with a powerful shot to the left.

1:1。

In the 36th minute of the first half, Ecuador relied on Delgado's one-handed goal to equalize.

The situation has a slight concern for England's supporters, not because of Ecuador's goal, but because of the team's lack of attack.

England have looked strong in attack lately, but have struggled to find a chance to break into the Ecuador penalty area. Owen has been hanging around for a long time, and Wang Li on the right has not had the ball for a long time.

This was largely due to the fact that England's attacks in the middle were frequently blocked.

In this game, Wang Li was placed in the forward line, and the two players in the middle were Gerrard and Hargreaves, the quality of these two players is certain, but neither of them is good at dribbling.

Ecuador's defense in the middle is largely based on zone blocking, which makes it difficult for England to insert into the Ecuador penalty area with simple combinations, and the midfielders of the England team, except for Joe on the left. Outside of Kerr, there are few players who are good at dribbling and maybe being fast.

That's why England's attack has been stymied.

In Eriksen's era, there has always been a problem with the combination of England's mid-field double-Germans, Gerrard and Lampard's style is similar, they are not good at dribbling, and they are both strong midfielders cultivated by English clubs, which makes the advantage of the mid-field double-German completely unplayable, and the two of them can only threaten the opponent's door with long-range shots.

In terms of dribbling and technique, Hargreaves is stronger than Gerrard, but there is a problem with the coordination of Hargreaves and his teammates, he was born with Bayern Munich, and has never been in the Premier League at all, and Bayern's style of play is completely different from that of the England team.

This makes it difficult for Hargreaves to play to his strengths.

This form is really worrying, Wang Li did not see this problem, his tactical level can only reach the level of ordinary players, but McClaren understands it very clearly.

After noticing the problem, he wanted to drop Wang Li in the middle and let Gerrard play as a striker, so that England's attack would definitely be more threatening.

But looking at the time, it was about 40 minutes, and McLaren still shook his head and gave up the idea.

"Let's wait until halftime to set up our tactics." McLaren thought so.

So, three minutes later, he regretted it because Ecuador scored again, this time by Cavides.

The 28-year-old is the main scorer in Ecuador's squad for Argentine Juniors, with a sense of spot-grabbing in front of goal. As a South American player, he has very delicate footwork and excellent technique, and in World Cup qualifiers, he has repeatedly created good scoring opportunities for his team-mates in the forward line.

In the Ecuadorian team, he is not as well-known as Aguinaga and less popular than Delgado, but he has repeatedly contributed key goals for the team.

That's why before the game, the media made him and Delgado 'Gemini'.

This time, Cavides showed his superhuman sense, and after Delgado's header was punched out by Thomas, Cavides ran to the left corner of the six-way box and easily completed the push to score another goal for Ecuador.

1：2。

Towards the end of the first half, England were behind!

It was a result that no one expected before the game, and even the English players, as well as many Ecuadorian players, thought that England would win comfortably, but at the end of the half, England were a goal behind, which was a surprising result.

The England supporters in the stadium also watched the game in amazement, and they were a little incredulous.

"England is lagging behind! Cavides scored another goal for Ecuador just now, it was a follow-up shot, it was beautiful"

When Cavides scored, the Ecuadorian players cheered and faced the lead as if they had already seen the moment when their team reached the quarter-finals, which they could not have imagined before the game.

In fact, the gap between Ecuador and England is too big, and this is only the second time since 2002 that Ecuador has entered the World Cup, and the second World Cup will reach the round of 16 knockout round, which is enough for Ecuadorian players to return to the country to receive the Prime Minister's 'Hero'.

Yes, Ecuadorian fans are already happy with the result.

But what if it goes further?

No one thought about it, but when they saw the one-goal lead at half-time, many Ecuadorian fans were already expecting the team to reach the last eight, and it felt like a historic moment.

Popular!

Will this game be an upset?

No one could tell, but the England fans were confident and even more confident when they saw the brunette with a slight smile on his face.

If the brunette didn't care at all, why didn't they have confidence in England?

In this form that was not good for England, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half after another England failed to attack.

England's players returned to the dressing room with a look of loss, and it was the first time in a World Cup that they went from hope to disappointment, especially when Wang Li came on.

It's not that they don't have confidence in the game, but they are disappointed with the scoreline, they all feel that they didn't perform well, they didn't play well, and everything was their fault.

When everyone thinks so, there's an atmosphere of loss in the team.

However, when they walked into the dressing room, head coach McClaren did not criticize any player, but directly admitted: "It was my tactical mistake!" ”
