Chapter 51: The Wall of Sighs
Chapter 51: The Wall of Sighs
With a long whistle from Russian referee Jangrove, Spain's top scorer Villa kicked the ball to Pedro's feet, and the ball began to pass quickly at the feet of the Spaniard.
Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Alonso, Garcia, and Sergio Busquets began to intersperse running, passing, running, and passing in small areas.
Tiki-taka, which originated from Barcelona, was shown in front of the English, and this kind of smooth running and passing, although it looked pleasing to the eye at the beginning, was still very boring after a long time, especially as the opponent of the Spanish team, not being able to touch the ball for a long time would cause psychological irritability, so that there were some small mistakes that were caught by the Spanish team to launch a quick and fatal attack, and the Spaniards were not unable to get up quickly, Rather, they use the change in the pace of the game as a killer move, often penetrating the holes in the opponent's defense at the moment of sudden acceleration, so that the opponent is killed before he has time to react.
However, this time the opponent encountered by the Spanish team was different from the past, when they continued to control the ball, the England team's formation also retreated, Wang Tiezhu, Lampard, and Gerrard were almost on the same level and kept moving back and forth, just to prevent the opponent from easily penetrating, while Rooney and Jonny Hausen were tasked with disturbing the opponent's pass, and Darren Bent was always at the front to follow.
After 3 minutes of the game, in the face of the composure of the England team, listening to the shrill boos that sounded in Wembley Stadium, the Spaniard finally couldn't bear it himself, and the possession of the ball for too long would not only make the opponent boring, but even he would lose the rhythm of the game.
"Smack!"
Xavi, the midfield commander of the Spanish team, finally sent the ball forward with a straight kick, which was originally stuffed for Villa, who ran up diagonally, but the ball flew in front of Lampard, and Wang Tiezhu, who had retreated to the line of the penalty area, rushed out with a "poof".
"Mine!"
Wang Tiezhu shouted in his mouth, more than three meters away from the ball, the center of gravity of his body sank downward, and a fierce sliding shovel went straight to the ball!
"Hulu" Villa is a very flexible player, but he is flexible in the face of Wang Tiezhu's fierce sliding shovel is no way, he is inferior to Wang Tiezhu in speed, if you want to force the ball, the two must have a fierce collision, although Wang Tiezhu's feet are pressed very low and the soles are not bright, but Villa knows that if it is really a hard touch, it will be him who will suffer!
In desperation, Villa jumped over the half-lying Wang Tiezhu......
"Beautiful! Shaq's tackle was fierce, decisive and accurate! The first attempt of the Spanish team to attack was forced back by us! Now it's our turn to attack......"
After snatching the ball, Wang Tiezhu climbed up neatly: "Steven! ”
"Bang!"
Wang Tiezhu swung his thigh and kicked the ball to the feet of Gerrard on the right side with a 25-meter mid-distance long pass.
After Gerrard stopped the ball, Spain's left-back No. 3 Jose Enrique pounced in front of him, but "Baozi" did not take the ball greedily, but turned around and kicked the ball -
Boom!
The ball was kicked straight from the right near the halfway line by Steven Gerrard, but it flew behind Spanish defender Puyol on the other left.
"Jonny Hausen! That's fast! ”
Jonny Hausen was like an arrow from a string, and the rapid frequency of his two legs seemed to be a phantom, and the whole person was forced to pass past Puyol, who was on the back guard.
Yes!?
So fast!?
Gerrard was also a little surprised in his heart, according to his observations, Jonny Hausen, the little guy from the "Young Guard", was not slow, but such a fast sprint like a sports car still surprised him, he naturally didn't know that Wang Tiezhu used 2 teammates bonus skill points in this game to Jonny Hausen's explosiveness, so that the explosive value of the captain of Leeds United increased from 16 to 18, and the whole person seemed to be a little crazy as if he had taken a stimulant.
"Mid lane! Mid lane! ”
Puyol chased back while shouting and gave instructions to his teammates, whether in Barcelona or in the Spanish team, he is the commander of the backline, Ramos was injured in this game and could not play, the Spanish team changed to a back three, although there is only one Pique in the middle of the defense is not very stable Pique, but Alonso, Busquets composed of double back can provide a lot of help to the Spanish team's defense.
After Pique made up for the flanks from the middle, Alonso and Busquets also ran into the penalty area to play the role of central defenders, coupled with Puyol's quick return to the defense, the Spanish team's defense was quickly organized.
Jonny Hausen moved quickly, and after controlling the ball, he made a left-footed smash to cut inside in the face of Pique, but when Pique didn't shake, he still forced his way towards the baseline, and ...... And he succeeded!
"Jonny Hausen, a decisive breakthrough! Pique is too slow! ”
"Bang!"
The ball flew out from Jonny Hausen's feet and flew in a not-so-high arc in front of the Spanish goal, where Darren Bent in the middle and "Little Fat" on the right were already in place, even if Darren Bent in the middle could not finish the attack under the defense of Alonso and Busquets, Rooney, who was carrying Jose Enrique with his body in the back, could also serve as the end point of England's attack.
However, when England's quick counter-attack was about to pose a threat............
"Smack!"
A pair of gloved palms suddenly appeared next to the ball flying in the air, and the ball was taken off in the air steadily!
"Oh---"
"Casillas! Ay! It's a pity that this opportunity is here! ”
A sigh rang out at Wembley Stadium!
There was no change in the expression on Casillas' calm face, as if it were a trivial matter to pick up an opponent's pass in the air this time.
Although the "madman" Mourinho entered Real Madrid, this season because of the conflict with Casillas and only used the Spanish international as a substitute, but after all, "San Cassi" is the best goalkeeper in the history of Spanish football, and his presence is very important for the Spanish team, otherwise it is really difficult to achieve such a brilliant record with the fragile backline of the Spanish team, and the 31-year-old Casillas's state is obviously not affected by the unfair treatment of the club, and he is still very good.
After the Spanish team blocked the attack of the England team, they controlled the ball again, which is also the safest way they think to play, after all, there is only one ball, if it is at their feet, then the opponent will not have the opportunity to attack at all, this is the football philosophy of Barcelona and Spain.
However, the advantage of the Spanish team was not obvious in this game, when their No.6 Garcia played a one-two with Puyol on the right flank, Lampard defended Garcia to death, forcing Garcia to pass the ball to the side There was some deviation, and then Jonny Hausen suddenly burst into the air, snatched the ball before Puyol, and started to break forward again.
"Bastard!"
Garcia, who saw that his pass was broken, roared angrily and followed directly!
"Smack!"
Jonny Hausen kicked the ball far forward and then picked up speed to force his way through, and he could feel that he was in good shape, and the feeling of being so quick in terms of acceleration was wonderful.
In an instant-
It's just a moment!
Jonny Hausen was faster than Garcia and was already half a position ahead!
Wang Tiezhu couldn't help grinning when he saw this, it seems that the skill points of his teammates' bonuses are really not used for Jonny Hausen, his speed has been significantly improved!
But the next moment, the smile on Wang Tiezhu's face turned into anger, and Garcia directly reached out and pulled Jonny Hausen down!
"Foul! This should be considered a tactical foul and the referee should show a yellow card! ”
"Tick-"
The whistle of the Russian referee Jangrove did sound, but he did not show a yellow card, but only warned Garcia who stretched out his hand to Jonny Hausen, perhaps because the game itself was just a friendly match, and the referee's punishment was still relatively lenient.
For the rest of the game, until the 30 minutes of the game, the game was still in a stalemate......
England's attack lacks subtle coordination, but its impact and speed are absolutely commendable, "little fat" Rooney is very active on the right side, even Jonny Hausen on the left side is also frequent impact on the opponent's defense, the weak state in the last game is completely gone, but has become a sharp knife on the left side of England.
And Wang Tiezhu, Lampard, Gerrard and the England team's back line also formed a strong defensive system, so that the Spaniards' smooth attack could not be played at all, as long as the ball flew into the air, the Spaniards could only be used as spectators, so they could only persevere in the ground attack, but even so, the experienced "magic lamp" and "bun" can also judge the Spaniard's passing route, and Wang Tiezhu, who has the advantage of speed and body, can expand his defensive range, Disrupt the Spanish team's attack with a 100% arrival rate.
As a result, the Spaniards failed to form a threatening attack at this time of the 30 minutes of the game, and every time they advanced to the midfield, it was as if they had encountered a wall of sighs, and even the possession and passing of the ball would become sluggish.
On the contrary, it was England's several counterattacks that made Spain's fragile defense look precarious, and the back line composed of Puyol, Pique and Jose Enrique, plus the double back combination of Alonso and Busquets, could only keep playing hard when defending to ensure that their team's door was not overcome.
Off the court, Spain's meritorious coach Bosque's fat body was already standing on the side of the court, and the old man gently wiped his beard with his thumb, his eyes were still very calm.
