Chapter 52 There is capital

Bosque is not satisfied with his team's performance, but he is not satisfied with it, the Spanish players are still in reasonable form, but the England team they met this time has changed too much from the previous England team!

After the addition of Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen to the midfield of the "Three Lions", the changes can always be described as earth-shattering.

Hodgson's knowledge and good use of people completely allowed the midfield composed of Wang Tiezhu, Jonny Hausen, Frank Lampard and Gerrard to play to the fullest.

The first is Gerrard's complete liberation, although "Baozi" is already a veteran over 30 years old, but his condition is still excellent, but also has a wealth of game experience, when the defensive burden on his shoulders was taken over by Wang Tiezhu, Gerrard also rejuvenated, his positive running and excellent overall view can fully make up for the weakness of personal skills are not superb enough, and can be active on the entire right side.

And because Lampard is older, he no longer has the strong impact of his youth, but now this position similar to an all-round midfield allows him to show his best "magic lamp".

However, in Bosque's view, Frank Lampard and Gerrard are just playing very normal, and it is the two young hairy boys who really bring change to the England team, Jonny Hausen performed very average in the last game against the Netherlands, but this time his assault ability has been fully exerted, and none of the Spanish players have been able to stop him in a 1vs1 situation so far, unless it is a foul tactic.

And Wang Tiezhu, nicknamed "Shaq", made Bosque feel a little depressed, just such a young back, how can he disrupt the Spanish team's attack again and again, Xavi, Iniesta, Garcia, Pedro and others can be regarded as offensive masters, but let this kid with a strong running ability to stir up the can't cooperate, 100% of the visit rate can play a role is really terrifying, even if you can't directly cut off the ball at your feet, but such a robbery ability is very good, People with strong bodies are always there to block, you can't ignore it, you have to be extra careful when passing and controlling the ball, and the rhythm of this attack will naturally not be played.

As a veteran coach who led Spain to the World Championship, Bosque's experience is certainly top-notch, and he rarely makes mistakes.

Thirty-three minutes into the game, after England launched an attack from the right, Rooney, who pulled to the right, passed the ball back to Gerrard, and after "Baozi" stopped the ball with his left foot, he immediately transferred the ball to the middle with his right foot.

Originally, the person who was active here was Lampard, and the breakthrough ability of the "magic lamp" was quite average, so Alonso's defensive strategy was to keep a distance of three or four meters from Lampard, and a little control could block Lampard's breakthrough, and if the ball was passed to Lampard, Alonso could also calmly choose the way to defend.

This time, however, it was not Frank Lampard who showed up on Gerrard's pass, but ...... Jonny Hausen!

"Smack!"

Jonny Hausen stopped the ball with his left foot on his side, then turned around and brought the ball forward with his right foot, and the explosive power of 18 was immediately exerted, and his speed was increased in two or three meters.

What the!?

Alonso looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, although this was the first time Jonny Hausen ran to the middle of the game, but Alonso suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't stop him, the speed was too fast!

"Smack!"

Seeing Alonso sticking up, Jonny Hausen took the ball to his right front, a slight change of direction, let him shake Alonso, just two or three meters forward, he can rush into the Spanish team's penalty area!

But it was then that Alonso stretched his foot and reached in front of Jonny Hausen's left foot......

"Ahh

"Tick-"

At the referee's whistle, Jonny Hausen stumbled forward and rolled twice on the ground!

"Oops! Jonny's breakthrough was so sharp that Alonso could only stop Jonny with a foul! The form of this lad in this game is fantastic! He seems to have saved all the efforts he had in his last game against the Netherlands to this day! ”

"Jonny Hausen won a set-piece! This is a very dangerous position, just three meters away on the right side of the arc of the big penalty area, about 20 meters away from the goal, Frank, Steven, and Wayne can all score directly in this position! Let's see who will take this set-piece! Is it Frank or Steven? ”

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard discussed the ball before they stepped back.

"Tick!"

The referee Younggrove's whistle blew, and then Frank Lampard, who had stepped back, jogged forward two steps, paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated and ran three more big strides, and after his left foot was next to the ball, his right foot was slammed into the ball!

"Bang!"

When Frank Lampard's body was suspended from excessive force, the ball flew out like a cannonball!

Straight shot!

Frank Lampard didn't choose to take a curl from this free-kick, but directly used his trademark powerful volley to kick the ball past the left side of the Espanyol wall, aiming for the bottom left corner of the Spanish goal.

Casillas was still in a good position, and after quickly moving a step to the right, he collapsed to block!

Under normal conditions, Casillas must have been able to block the ball this time, but the power of Lampard's shot this time was too great, and he also added an upward force when he kicked the ball, the ball was not fixed in the air, but had a sharp forward spin!

When the ball entered the small penalty area, there was a sudden fall!

"Smack!"

Right in front of Casillas, the ball landed on the ground, and then a bounce flew under Casillas' body before he fell, just under his armpit......

Casillas watched the ball fly under his armpit, his eyes full of disbelief, he didn't expect this ball to change like this!

"Dang!"

There was a bang behind Casillas, and the ball not only went past him, but also bounced off the post before bouncing into the goal, which angle ...... It's invincible!

“goal！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Frank's free-kick went straight to the Spanish goal! ”

"Dead end! Frank's powerful volley went straight into the corner! ”

'Jonny Hausen's free-kick wasn't wasted and Frank opened the scoring with a furious shot!'

On the pitch, the players of the England team hugged each other, everyone had a smile on their faces, they felt a little pressure to play against a world champion like Spain before the game, but after the game started, they found that the situation was not as bad as they thought, their team's midfield interception ability was much stronger than before, and the Spanish team could not threaten their own team's goal at all, so what was there to be afraid of?

Off the field, the old coach Hodgson is also applauding his team, he is very satisfied with the team's current performance, this kind of calm defense contains a fierce attack, is the football he is pursuing, after all, when encountering the Spanish team, it can only be played with defense, if you really press out and attack the Spanish team, then you don't know how to die.

However, Hodgson was also a little surprised by Jonny Hausen's performance today, this kid was a scumbag when he played against the Netherlands, but he didn't know how to do it today, he was as fierce as a tiger on the field, and one person made a mess of Spain's defense, relatively speaking, even the "little fat" Rooney played not as good as him in this game!

After the game restarted, the Spanish team began to consciously increase the tempo, the players ran fast, passed fast, and the attack advanced fast.

For a while, the England team was suppressed after taking the lead, but because of the great psychological advantage, the England team's defense was not chaotic at all, and the Spanish team's attack still could not advance to the England team's big penalty area, and the attack that was still small in the opponent's penalty area against other opponents completely disappeared.

It wasn't until the 43rd minute of the game that Spain's most threatening attack of the game came out, and it was not the result of the penetration of short passes no more than ten meters away that they used to excel at, it was Iniesta's long-range shot after shaking off Glen Johnson on the left side, and after the ball was punched out by Joe Hart, a header from "Hulu" Villa was rubbed off the bottom line by Terry in front of the goal, just to give the opponent a corner.

Because of the disadvantage of height, the corners sent by the Spanish team during the game are basically tactical corners, unless Pique and Ramos are in the opponent's penalty area, they will pass the ball directly to the goal, and their ability to grab points is still too bad, so this corner kick did not cause any trouble to the England team.

At the end of the first half, the mood at Wembley Stadium was not diminished at all, the England fans were singing loudly, they were in a really good mood and they had plenty of reasons to be happy.

After Hodgson became the coach of the "Three Lions", the first game with the Netherlands three days ago was not very exciting, but the team's performance was still very stable, and in this game, although the team's starting lineup has not been adjusted, but Jonny Hausen, who did not perform well in the last game, is very active, and if this kid can continue to play like this, it is not a big problem to become a real main player.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is a midfield composed of "Shaq", "Magic Lamp" and "Bun", they can drag down the Spanish team's attack, and mess up the Spanish tiki-taka football, which is really amazing!

Now, England fans can really expect their team to win against Spain in this game, as they really seem to have the capital to win this time.
