Chapter 543: This Time It's Real

readx;

By the time Wayne Rooney scored the third goal of the game, the game had already reached the 44th minute of the first half, and stoppage time was just before the break. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The England players didn't procrastinate to celebrate the goal, and after a brief celebration, all the players were back in their places.

In this game, Wang Li felt good, he felt that he was in very good shape, and this World Cup atmosphere made him a little intoxicated.

In the 45 minutes of the first half, England scored a total of three goals. Cole and Wayne Rooney scored one each, and one was an own goal from the opposition.

That is to say, Wang Li did not score, which is a pity for him.

Looking at the excited appearance of Rooney, who had just scored, Wang Li was very envious, after all, this was a World Cup game, although his performance was unanimously affirmed by everyone, and he also had an assist data, but from the data analysis, it was the most regrettable not to score.

Although there was not much time left in the first half, Wang Li continued to work hard in the front court, hoping to use the last time to score another goal.

If the Paraguayan players knew that England's brunette kid was thinking, I'm afraid they wouldn't have a good face: you've all scored three goals, and you only have a little time left to score!?

This really doesn't take the Paraguayan team seriously!!

However, until the end of the first half, Wang Li did not find anything good, after all, the time was too short and too short, after two attacks and a counterattack by Paraguay, the first half of the game was over.

3:0。

In the first half, England had an absolute advantage over the scoreline.

………… The England players who returned to the dressing room from the pitch were in a relaxed and happy mood because they had an absolute advantage in the first half, and there was not much suspense about the outcome of this game, and every player was not stressed at all.

In this case, if Paraguay are to still claim a point in the group stage, they will have to launch a second-half onslaught to fight for the last chance, after all, it is still possible to recover three goals, although that possibility is very small.

It's so small that England players ignore it!

They really have reason to be excited, it was the first group game and they got off to a good start with a win over Paraguay, who were outside the group, and they had no problem coming out of the group.

There was no pressure to leave England's dressing room in full swing as the players discussed the first half.

Joe. Cole became the protagonist, and if not counting Paraguay's first own goal, he scored the first goal of the World Cup, so the other players kept grabbing his hair under 'jealousy', and after a while, Joe. Cole's slightly longer straight hair becomes a bird's nest.

The scene was filmed by the absolutely black-bellied Frank Lampard on his mobile phone.

What follows is a farce that elicits laughter.

In Paraguay, by contrast, the atmosphere in the dressing room is much more somber.

Under the head coach Anibal. Before Ruiz returned to the dressing room, the players went about their business in silence, most of them resting in their chairs, and no one spoke.

The first half of the game was a nightmare for them!

3:0。

Even at the end of the game, the score was not acceptable to them, and now they have conceded three goals in just half time.

"Are we really that different from that group of English?"

Many players began to reflect, and after making a comparison in their minds, they found that the Paraguayan team is indeed very different from the England team, and this is not only reflected in the value of the players.

Judging from the first half of the game, the England team mastered the overall situation, whether it was possession, pass success rate and other statistics, they were better than them. England's players may not be outstanding individually, but their combination and physicality are much better than Paraguay's.

After all, most of the current England team is from the Premier League, which is the most fierce league in the world, so the England team is more than a little bit better than Paraguay in terms of physical confrontation.

There is also the fact that England's attack is very simple, if you can describe it in a few words: passing, shooting, everything is as simple as that, this is the style of English football.

In the past, maybe English football was not strong, because their attacking style was too simple, without gorgeous coordination, smooth and accurate technology, it was really difficult to score goals, but two people changed all this, that is, Wang Li and Beckham.

Beckham's pass was so precise!

Not to mention that the first own goal was caused by Beckham's pass, the second Joe. Cole's goal was entirely created by Beckham's 60-meter ultra-long-distance 'fixed-point' pass, and such a player can play too much of a role in England's simple attacking system.

And Wang Li's skills are by no means comparable to any player in Paraguay.

This has already been reflected in the first half, in the face of Wang Li's dribbling, Paraguay's 2 or 3 players, it is really difficult to intercept him, and Rooney's goal is directly related to Wang Li, after he attracted the attention of all the players in Paraguay, he also accurately sent the ball to Rooney's feet.

It is these two players that make England's attack so threatening.

In other words, compared with Paraguay and England, if there is no Beckham and Wang Li, maybe Paraguay still has some advantages in terms of technology and attack, but with these two people, they are completely passive.

In every aspect, the two teams are simply not comparable.

This reality has made the Paraguayan players even more unmotivated. "Cheer up, guys!!"

Seeing the form of the players, Paraguay head coach Aníbal. Ruiz also knew that in the face of a score of 3:0, the local Paraguayan coach did not have much hope for the game, but the game was only halfway through, and Paraguay still had a chance no matter what he said, and he couldn't just give up.

Then give it a go!!

Ruiz had no choice but to do this, he had no other way. "It's not over yet, we still have a chance!"

Aníbal. Ruiz continued: "They are not invincible, although we are three goals behind, there is hope. I hope you can make one last ditch effort, think about it, if you can make a shocking comeback in the second half, then every one of you will be a hero, and this game will be spread all over the world, and then you will be famous, boys, cheer up! ”

Aníbal. Ruiz's words are very practical, he is right, now Paraguay is three goals behind, if they can win the game, or even tie the score, I am afraid that Paraguay will immediately become the focus of all the media after the game.

They will soon be given the title of 'super dark horse'.

Perhaps, the England team will also be flattened for nothing, and this game will be the talk of fans for many years.

The prospect of this gives the Paraguayan players a little bit of morale, after all, the game is not over yet, as Ruiz said, they still have a chance, don't they?

After a few more words of encouragement, Ruiz began to lay out the tactics for the second half.

There's nothing too complicated about tactics, it's all about attacking.

If you want to equalize, Paraguay can only attack aggressively, because it is almost impossible to score 3 goals in 45 minutes by relying solely on defensive counterattacks, not to mention that the head coach of the England team, McClaren, is not a fool!

If Paraguay had scored one on the counter-attack, England would have strengthened their defence, and then you scored a second, which is considered luck, but still want to score a third?

That's almost a dream!!

"When defending, pay attention to moving the formation back, don't give the opponent a chance to cooperate, use your body to seal the angle of the shot, be sure to pay attention to the opponent's No. 21, you have seen it in the first half, this black-haired kid is very capable, he is the best star in England." After setting up the offensive tactics, Ruiz added to the defensive side.

After the first half of the game, there were no Paraguayan players to question Wang Li's personal ability, and in the face of the coach's instructions, they all nodded tacitly.

"Okay, that's all there is to say, remember, even if we lose, we have to play with the momentum of the team, this is a World Cup game, we must not let the English people be arrogant!!" In the end, Ruiz said with a morale boost

Nothing happened in the England dressing room, and when manager McClaren returned to the dressing room, he only stressed that he should pay more attention to the defense at the beginning of the second half, and put Wang Li in front of the team to intimidate the Paraguayan team.

McClaren felt that this arrangement was enough, after all, now that England have a three-goal lead, even if he concedes a goal, he has time to make adjustments on the spot.

Wang Li is very satisfied with this arrangement, because he does not have to participate in defense.

As an offensive player, Wang Li only likes to attack, and McLaren gives him all offensive tasks, which is what Wang Li wants to see, after all, he has a very small concept of money, and he just comes to this world to enjoy life.

Now he's making enough money and it's more about enjoying football on the pitch.

However, if there is a crisis in the England team, he will still defend, after all, this is a World Cup game, and he still yearns for the Hercules Cup, which is the world's highest honor football trophy

The half-time break passed quickly, and the players from both teams finally returned to the pitch amid the anticipation of the fans in the audience.

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Just as McLaren judged, Paraguay launched a fierce offensive in the opening game!

In order to equalize, they had to attack.

At this time, they almost completely gave up the defense, and almost all 11 people in the field except the goalkeeper participated in the attack, so that Paraguay's formation was very forward, and Wang Li had to stand behind the middle line, otherwise his teammates passed the ball to him, which was offside.

Under this attack, the England defence looks precarious.

Don't underestimate Paraguay's offense, this kind of South American football integrated into the European style, the offensive ability is by no means worse than the traditional European team, this is an attack that sacrifices defensive ability, Paraguay has already fight!

So, in the first 5 minutes of the second half, Wang Li didn't receive a pass, and the football kept flying around in the English half.

At the beginning, Rooney, Owen and Wang Li were all standing near the halfway line.

A minute later, Rooney returned to his own penalty area, and three minutes later, Owen also returned to his own penalty area, leaving Wang Li alone in the frontcourt.

In fact, this is a very good opportunity for Wang Li, as long as the ball can be passed to his feet, it will definitely pose a threat to the Paraguayan goal.

However, football just can't be passed at all!!

Paraguay's attack caused some panic among the English players, as they had a smooth start in the first half and now the situation is completely down.

As a result, in the 53rd minute of the game, Paraguay scored.

It was a strong positional advance. Paraguay passed the ball back and forth outside the England penalty area, and after a few times, the ball was passed to the left wing.

Barreto on the left side shifted the ball to the middle, and then Akuna in the middle hoisted the ball high into the box, and Santa Cruz grabbed the spot and headed the ball to the winger Gavilan who was inserted to the right side of the box, who received the ball and turned and volleyed!

Thomas was unresponsive to the close-range shot, and the ball flew straight into the net, with Paraguayan winger Gavilan pulling a goal back.

The goal seemed to bring back the fighting spirit of the Paraguayan players.

After the restart, Paraguay's attack intensified. Seeing this situation, McLaren also stood on the sidelines a little anxiously, directing the players to defend, if it wasn't a good opportunity to counterattack, I'm afraid Wang Li would also go back to defend.

Another Paraguayan offensive.

Santa Cruz got a chance outside the box, received a pass from a teammate on the run, and then changed direction to get rid of John. Terry, with his foot on the goal, flew the ball into the far corner, and the fans in the stadium exclaimed.

Thomas made a flying save and saved the ball off the line.

Seeing this scene, Wang Li looked forward to the next Paraguayan corner kick, Thomas can pick up the ball with both hands, then the next will definitely be his chance.

Unfortunately, the corner was headed off the pitch by the Paraguayan player.

England were given a respite and Paraguay used that time to get back into place.

Wang Li felt a little pity for missing the best time to counterattack, but he still returned to the backcourt and commanded the team to play a steady push to regain momentum.

In the game, momentum is very important.

Teams that tend to have momentum are able to play stronger and beat stronger opponents.

In this disadvantageous situation, Wang Li wants to use a wave of advancement to pull back the team's momentum, and a steady attack can often allow players to stabilize the mood of the game and find their form.

Under the command of Wang Li, England's advance was very steady, and after the football passed a few times in England's backfield, he saw that the frontcourt players ran to their positions, and Lampard, who was dragging behind, suddenly made a diagonal pass, which opened the curtain of England's attack. At the same moment, Wang Li, who had just finished directing the team's attack, also ran over the middle line, he ran to the position near the penalty area line, and did not rush to ask for the ball with his teammates, but just ran around there, constantly competing for position with the Paraguayan players who defended him closely.

The Paraguayan players defended very tightly against Wang Li, which made Wang Li feel like he was fighting for a header when he was fighting for position, but in reality, the football had only just crossed the halfway line. After a few passes, the ball was handed to Joe on the left. At Cole's feet, he made a one-two with Ferdinand, who was inserted, before passing the ball diagonally to Wang Li. In fact, Wang Li did not run out of position at all, but after more than a year of cooperation with Wang Li at Chelsea, Joe. Cole knows Wang Li's ability very well, and he knows that Wang Li will be able to catch his pass.

Sure enough, Wang Li took a slight step towards Lingbo, and when the Paraguayan player who was cut off in the middle did not react, he stepped forward to receive the pass, and then he made a simple turn and shook off the Paraguayan player behind him, and then raised his eyes to look at the direction of the penalty area, and subconsciously made a big volley posture.

"Alan's long shot!!"

At the same time, Sky TV's Graham shouted excitedly, but in reality, Wang Li was just using this action to shake off another Paraguayan player.

"He's scaring people!"

The Paraguayan player who was shaken away was none other than midfielder dos Santos, who was a little unwilling to see himself shaken by such an action, and shouted at his teammates: "Stop him!!" ”

So, two Paraguayan players immediately surrounded Wang Li.

This time, Wang Li made a big volley posture again, which made one of the Paraguayan players jump directly in place, while the other subconsciously turned around and wanted to block the ball with his body, but Wang Li glanced at the penalty area and saw that there was no chance, so he passed the ball to Lampard who was inserted.

Frank Lampard got his chance!

At this time, Lampard was unguarded, but he still did not shoot, after all, it was not yet past the penalty line, his shooting efficiency was really not high, and he did not want to waste the team's chances, so when the Paraguayan player stepped forward, he kicked the ball back to Wang Li.

After receiving the ball, Wang Li had to face Dos Santos again, and the Paraguayan midfielder had been pestering him since the second half, and Wang Li was a little tired of watching.

This time, Wang Li took the ball to the left side and wanted to change direction and shake it past the opponent.

But Dos Santos was not fooled, he followed Wang Li, so Wang Li could only speed up a little to get rid of him, and then, on the line of the big penalty area, two more Paraguayan players surrounded him.

This situation made Wang Li a little annoyed.

The Paraguayan team has obviously strengthened its defense against him, and I am afraid that the opposing coach emphasized his defense at halftime, and every time Wang Li takes the ball, there must be three players in the circle, which makes people depressed.

However, this time Wang Li didn't want to pass the ball, because at this time, he was in the middle of the penalty line, and no matter which direction he dribbled the ball, he would have space to shoot.

Now, he really wants to score.

So, Wang Li was forced by the three to take it directly to the right, and the three Paraguayan players immediately followed.

In the dribble, Wang Li hurriedly ran to the right side, and he continued to use the 'shadowless foot' to make the Paraguayan players not know where the ball was, and then, suddenly a pull back with the surname directly shook off the two Paraguayan players, leaving only Dos Santos who was following behind.

At this time, the corners of Wang Li's mouth twitched, the corner of his eye aimed at the direction of the goal, and directly waved his right leg.

"Still trying to bluff me?" Seeing Wang Li's action, Dos Santos said a word in his mouth, but he was not moved at all.

So, Wang Li kicked at the bottom of the football.

Under everyone's gaze, the football almost cut a straight line in the sky and went straight into the top left corner of Paraguay's goal.

"This time it's true."

Looking at the stunned expressions of the Paraguayan players in front of him, Wang Li reminded very 'kindly'.
