Chapter Seventy-Four: The Manic "Beast"

After winning away at Ukraine, the 'Three Lions' returned to their home stadium, Wembley Stadium, this time to take on San Marino, the weakest side in Group 8.

If Ukraine, although weaker, can still fight with the England team, then San Marino is a fish belly team at all, and even there are almost no professional players in this team, everyone understands that the San Marino team is actually just a number, and this game on September 12 is also a good proof of this!

Although England won the last game very thrillingly, Hodgson's determination to promote the youth of the team is unquestionable, and against an underdog team like San Marino, he completely rejuvenated the entire midfield, starting with 19-year-old Zach Thompson, 21-year-old Jonny Hausen, 25-year-old Tom Hoddlestone and 26-year-old James Milner.

In the forward line, it is still a combination of Wayne Rooney and Walcott, and the pair is in their prime of play, and the 26-year-old Rooney and 23-year-old Walcott are fully capable of playing for England for more than four years.

At the back, Hodgson still used Ashley Cole, John Terry and Glenn Johnson out of a prudent position, but added a 26-year-old Gary Cahill.

The twenty-six-year-old central defender from Bolton was only a substitute for the England team before, but this time he got a chance because of Hodgson's coaching, the age of twenty-six is for the player to be in the golden stage, but as the central defender of the England national team, he is really still very young, although the thirty-three-year-old Ferdinand can still play the main team, but Hodgson has to think about the World Cup in Brazil two years later, when Ferdinand will reach the age of thirty-five, Pointing at Ferdinand is no different from suicide, but Terry was only 33 years old at the time, and he was still able to play the last major of his career as a main force.

In fact, Hodgson's gradual abandonment of Lampard and Gerrard is also out of long-term planning, after all, Lampard is 34 years old, Gerrard is already 32 years old, and it is really unknown how much of their personal energy is left in the World Cup in Brazil two years later.

Hodgson couldn't afford to take this risk!

Rather than putting his hopes on the "double virtue", Hodgson still prefers to use "Shaq" as the core of the midfield, supplemented by Jonny Hausen, Lennon, Ashley Young and other players to form a new England midfield.

It's just that the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, Ruth has to take it one step at a time, and Hodgson can't shift the burden of the team's midfield to the younger generation at once.

Fortunately, in this game, the "Three Lions" played a majestic and imposing performance in front of 87,000 fans at home, and they played an 11-0 disparity in the game, and easily bloodied San Marino with a butcher's knife at home.

Just four minutes into the game, England were awarded a corner, James Milner, wearing the number 7 shirt, sent the ball to the front post, Zach Thompson jumped high and his header was blocked, and Rooney's clever stab shot made it into the back of the net.

After taking a 1-0 lead, England was like a bloodthirsty wolf pack, dedicating one goal after another to the fans.

In the 7th minute, James Milner scored from long range!

In the 9th minute, Walcott scored with a low shot after practicing two people!

On 23 minutes, Zach Thompson crossed to Hoddlestone on the right, who fired a furious shot!

In the 31st minute, Zach Thompson received a hanging pass from Milner, and a flat body jumped to the top, and the ball was pushed in!

In the 37th minute, "Little Fat" Rooney went to the meeting single-handedly and scored twice with a low shot.

In just one first half, the "Three Lions" scored six goals in a row, and this performance also sent the English fans at Wembley Stadium into a frenzy, England has not played such a slaughtering game for a long, long time, and this time Hodgson sent a young midfield combination, but played such a passionate game, which is young...... It really seems to be the right way to go!

If the England team wants to improve, it must not rest on its laurels and stick to the "double virtues", no one can deny the contribution of the "magic lamp" and "bun" to the England team, but as they get older, it is really time for the England team to change the dynasty.

As the game entered the second half, England's onslaught continued, with Theo Walcott scoring a brace on 49 minutes; Liverpool striker Carroll, who came on as a substitute on 67 minutes, received a pass from John Terry on the counter-attack, shook off the goalkeeper and fired into the empty net; After that, "Little Fat" Rooney scored three goals in a row in 79 minutes, 85 minutes, and 88 minutes, completing the greatest game of his career, scoring five goals for England in one game!

After the game, after watching the performance of the England team, the fans were still in such a state of drunkenness, and they were reluctant to leave the stadium for a long time, and this game was really worth remembering for a long, long time.

At the press conference after the game, Hodgson praised Rooney, who became the best "little fat" Rooney with 5 goals, but what he said the most was "Shaq", who scored 1 goal and 3 assists in this game.

At this time, Zach Thompson is happy that he has obtained another 3 teammate bonus skill points, after the total has reached 23 points, the effect of this teammate bonus will become even more amazing, now Zach Thompson is almost able to completely arm a teammate who is not weak, this 23 teammate bonus whether it is used on Jonny Hausen, Ben Parker, Tevez, will definitely make them become unstoppable monsters on the court, even if it is used in Ameobi, Snodgrass, Beccio, Bentley and others can definitely turn them into world-class players.

After Zach Thompson and Jonny Hausen returned to Leeds, they returned to training without even resting, no matter how tired the game was, the two young boys would become like wolves again as long as they slept for Gerrard, Lampard and Lampard, they couldn't, but they were afraid that they would have to take a break in the league to recover, at this time Zach Thompson couldn't help but sigh again about the wisdom of his ancestors, "youth is capital" This is really not wrong at all.

On September 15, Leeds United welcomed Bolton Wanderers at home, and Zach Thompson did not hesitate to use the 15-point bonus for Tevez in this game, and the "beast" became a beast full of real hunger for goals.

The remaining 8 skill points, Zach Thompson is used in Jonny Howson, Ben Parker's passing skills, the "Young Guards" is now the time to grab points, if a team like Bolton can't win, it will be a big loss for the team, so Zach Thompson feels that his teammates' bonuses are still more effective in attack.

When Zach Thompson was careful about his calculations, he couldn't help but scold himself for being short-sighted, 23 teammates bonus skill points are a fart, after really using it on the court, he can't even completely arm his two teammates, the phrase "take care of his head" is definitely used to describe the situation he is facing at the moment, taking care of the team's offense, there is no strength to invest in defense at all.

Although Zach Thompson is a little overstretched, the "Blackfoot" system is still too powerful, even if he only improves Tevez alone, it is enough for the "Young Guard" to go on a killing spree against a team like Bolton.

Just 10 minutes into the game, Tevez received a pass from Beccio, dribbled 40 metres down the right flank, and then beat two Bolton players and the goalkeeper to kick the ball into the empty net for Bolton...... 1：0！

On 22 minutes, Ameoby, Bentley and Tevez played a relay of headers in the air, and after three consecutive headers, the diminutive "beast" headed the ball into the door of Bolton Wanderers...... 2:0！

Just three minutes later, with 25 minutes to go, Bentley's 25-metre overhead pass, combined with the lightning speed of the "beast", instantly formed a stunner, and Tevez slotted the ball into the Bolton goal from near the penalty spot...... 3:0！

After completing the hat-trick, Tevez ran around the stadium like crazy in Elland Road, and the Leeds fans in the stands sent the warmest applause and the craziest shouts, which also made Tevez completely refreshed.

Despite dominating the game, Bolton were not a big hit, with two long-range strikes scored by Nigerian striker Jakubu and England midfielder Fabreise Memba in the 41st and 45th minutes of the game.

At the end of the first half, Ronedgan's head was drooping and he was hit by two long-range shots in the final moments of the first half, and the team was chased from a three-goal lead to a one-goal lead.

At the critical moment, it was the "beast" that stood up, and only three minutes into the second half of the game, Tevez who ran to the left side to move was successfully offside, and after receiving a pass from Beccio, Tevez rushed to the Bolton team's big penalty area with the ball, and sent the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal with a pick-and-shoot shot...... 4:2！

After his senior year, Tevez didn't know how to celebrate, he just stood there with his arms raised and spun in circles, and the stands at Elland Road Stadium burst into cheers............

Tevez's goal extended Leeds United's lead to two goals, and although there were still 40 minutes to go, Bolton's morale had been shattered.

When the game was over, Bolton manager Owen Coyle couldn't help but say with jealousy: "My team played their part in this game, I'm proud of the team, it's just that we ran into Tevez who was in a manic state, so ...... We lost! ”

"The victory in this game is not the result of Tevez alone, but the result of the whole team! Of course, Carlos' performance is world-class, he is the most magical one on the pitch! ”

Simon Grayson was the first to praise his team, but he also felt that Tevez's recent form has been so hot that Tevez has scored 10 goals in three league games for Leeds United!

Add to that the two goals in the Community Shield and Europa League qualifiers, and Tevez has scored 12 goals in just a short period of time since his move to Leeds United, and that's just what he has done in six games.

It can be said that at present, Tevez's goalscoring ability has indeed entered a manic stage, like a flood, drowning and crushing Leeds United's opponents one by one.

Simon Grayson now has to admire his chairman Ken Bates, who has gained such a Tevez, not to mention that the team only paid 6 million pounds for him, even if he buys it directly for 26 million pounds, it is really worth the money!
