"It was my tactical mistake!"

In the dressing room, before the players could say anything, McClaren said: "I admit that it was all my fault, I saw it in the first half, but I couldn't adjust in time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Hearing McClaren say this, England players are puzzled, and when they hear McClaren talk about the combination of midfielders Hargreaves and Gerrard, few people can still understand.

These are all problems at the level of coaching, and the tactical level of the players is still poor.

The main thing is that in the Eriksen era, England have been the starting midfield of the duo, so why is there a problem with Hargreaves and Gerrard now?

They are difficult to understand.

But it doesn't matter, as a player, all they need to do is play the way the manager has set them to play, that's all, otherwise what do you want the manager to do?

In short, they still understood McClaren's general meaning, that is, most of the blame for England's backwardness in the first half was due to McClaren, and it had little to do with the performance of the players.

It was very relaxing for the England players as they regained their confidence.

After a speech, McClaren began to make adjustments to the team's formation for the second half's tactics, starting with the midfield, Wang Li was placed in Gerrard's position, and Gerrard was placed in the forward position.

The players understand this adjustment very well, Wang Li's performance in the midfield has been good, and it is normal for Gerrard to play as a striker.

But this doesn't seem to help England's attack much, after all, the lineup is still the same lineup, and the players have not changed? But is that really the case? At least Wang Li doesn't think so, because the position is moved back, which allows him to get the ball easily, instead of relying on the support of his teammates.

This is important.

Although Wang Li usually does not show a high profile in the team, he himself understands very well that the concept of holding the ball by himself is different from that of other players in the team, because his technical level is higher, and the threat to the opponent when he gets the ball is by no means comparable to other players.

After a simple adjustment, McClaren began to tell everyone in the team what they needed to do, and he focused on the backline, because the header ability of the opposing striker Delgado was a great threat to the England backline, and in the first half, the opponent's midfielder Mendes's long-range shot also put a lot of pressure on the England team.

In the Ecuadorian dressing room when McClaren set up the task, head coach Suarez was also planning the second half tactics, but his job was simple, because Ecuador's tactics did not go wrong.

Suarez still focuses on flooding the players with the idea of victory, to put it bluntly, to boost the morale of the team and attract them with victory.

"I never asked you to win before the game because that would be a luxury for us, they are a world-class team and we want to beat them to reach the quarter-finals, and no one will believe it, and I'm sure a lot of you think that way."

Next, Suarez changed his tone and said, "But, now we are ahead!" Reaching the knockout round is already a breakthrough for us, but if you can advance to the quarterfinals, maybe your name will be deeply engraved on the pages of history by the Ecuadorian people! ”

"It's been good for us and now we have the opportunity to do that too!"

"In the second half, I want you to do your best and fight for a while, don't think about what team they are, what the value of the players is, they are just a normal team like us, we are leading now, and all we need to do is maintain the advantage until the end of the game! That's all! ”

Suarez's words are not too sensational, but the honor of advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup is a great attraction for every Ecuadorian player, and each of them hopes that the team can break through this hurdle!

Who doesn't have a dream?

As a footballer, my biggest dream is to get the Hercules Cup, which represents the pinnacle of professional football. As a football team of a small country, it is a historical breakthrough for these low-level players to reach the World Cup finals.

So why not fight hard for bigger wins?

The 15-minute break was a short time for both players and coaches, but it was a long time for the fans who wanted to see the second half of the game as soon as possible.

For England supporters, they want to see England boost their morale and knock out Ecuador, a country side that dares to challenge the majesty of a world-class team, with a spectacular goal!

As for the neutral fans and Ecuadorian supporters, they hope that Ecuador can pull off a miracle and cause an upset, which is what the average fan wants. Of course, there are very few such fans in the entire stadium, simply because England's superstars are so influential, and few neutral fans will want to see Ecuador win.

Finally, 15 minutes passed, the players of both teams returned to the field, and the referee blew the whistle and the game finally began.

In the second half, there was not much difference between the England team's style of play and the first half, and the difference was only the exchange of positions between Wang Li and Gerrard, but in fact, under McLaren's tactics, both of them were offensive players, and there was not much difference between them exchanging positions, at least it was difficult for ordinary fans to see this.

Even the on-site commentator said: "England don't seem to have made any changes, it seems that Mr. McClaren is still very confident in his tactics"

On the other hand, the Ecuador team is full of a spirit of striving up and down, they have become more motivated, and every player dares to fight and grab, which looks much more imposing than the England team.

England may have regained their fighting spirit, but compared to Ecuador, the momentum is a little weaker.

These are all in the eyes of the fans in the audience, but in fact, the stadium is still dominated by England's attack, after all, the strength of the England team is much stronger than Ecuador, and in the tactics of the two teams, the England team is mainly attacking, and Ecuador is still defending and counterattacking, which is an important reason for this result.

In the offense, Wang Li didn't have any special ideas, he just played normally according to the team's offensive routine.

Yes, he didn't have to think about anything else.

Even when the team fell behind in the first half, he only showed a slight helplessness, in fact, although he cared about the outcome of the game, he never felt that the small South American team opposite him could win.

The important thing is that from the beginning of the game, he always felt that he could win by showing his strength, and he didn't have to fight for anything at all, and such an opponent was not worth fighting for.

That's why when he walked back to the dressing room at halftime, his expression was so relaxed and natural.

And now, the team is lagging behind, and Wang Li is not in a hurry. Although from the momentum of the two teams, Ecuador seems to have the upper hand, and each of their players is fighting with all their might, but Wang Li understands the reason.

Don't England players want to win?

They don't have the heart to win? Or maybe it doesn't matter if you win or lose?

Of course not, mainly because England are traditional, with world-class team-mates and a lot of experience in the tournaments, and they have a calmer and calmer mentality.

Ecuador, on the other hand, is the opposite, most of their players are all small club players in the South American minor leagues, and rarely participate in any heavyweight games, so they are so 'passionate and excited' in the World Cup, and when they are ahead of the England team, they will show such 'hard work'.

But in reality, does that really make sense?

Football matches are not won with passion, strength is the first, mentality is the second.

As long as you have a calm mind, you can play better with a steady performance, and if you have too much passion, it will become excited, which is reckless.

The Ecuadorian players may not understand this very well, they are still in the 'excitement', every player is playing like crazy, they are doing everything they can to defend England's attack, and when they get the opportunity, they are attacking England with a quick counter-attack to threaten the England goal.

Five minutes later, Wang Li, who had been performing very calmly and had few bright spots, finally got his chance.

After an Ecuadorian player's shot was held by Thomas with both hands and driven to the vicinity of the midfield, he was the first to receive the ball in the encirclement of two Ecuadorian players, and then he used his reflexes and Lingbo's footwork to easily shake off the two players.

Although it was Ecuador's attack just now, they did not rush too far forward, only four players on the wing and in the middle crossed the halfway line, and the rest of the players were still very tight at the back.

Wang Li dribbled the ball, swept the entire Ecuador backfield with his eyes, and passed the ball to the side of Joe. Cole's feet.

In this game, Joe. Cole's performance can only be described as average, probably due to his performance in the group stage too bright, Ecuador's tight blockade on the left flank, which makes Joe. Kerr struggled to break through on the left side and find opportunities for his team.

When he didn't have the chances, he reduced the number of dribbles on his own initiative and began to look for ways to break through the defense with his team.

This is the right thing to do, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Li chose to pass the ball to him, because he felt that Joe. Cole can be trusted.

Sure enough, after this catch-and-pass, Joe. Kerr still didn't choose to rush forward from the flank, and after encountering an opposition player coming forward to intercept, he handed the ball diagonally to Hargreaves with a backheel, who didn't stop the ball and passed it back to Wang Li who had already crossed two players with a diagonal push.

The outside of the big penalty area!

All the European clubs that have played against Wang Li know that this position about 30 meters from the goal is already within the range of this black-haired boy's shot, and when he was at Chelsea, because many games relied on Wang Li's play alone, he often shot from this position.

In Real Madrid, Wang Li rarely shoots near here, because such long-range shots are not very threatening, and even if he wants to kick, it depends on a little luck.

But this time, he still shot at goal!

Just because everyone else feels that there is no threat, there is more hope of scoring!

In an instant, a lot of thoughts flashed in Wang Li's heart, after seeing the two players come forward to block, he made a change of direction to break through the action, and the calf of his right foot swung and directly pulled an outside instep on the right side of the football.

Under the surprised gaze of the fans, the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball, and the opposing goalkeeper Bella Furd reacted too late, and the football went straight into the net from the top right corner of the goal.

Bella Fuord, who made a pounce to the right, pounced like a circus monkey from the middle to the right post, but unfortunately he couldn't touch anything.

“goooooooooal！！！ The ball is in! ”

"Allen helped England overtake the score!!"

With the roar of the commentator, the England supporters in the audience finally broke out into a loud cheer, as they saw the brunette boy's performance again and saw the hope of England's victory.

2:2, the two teams were tied and stood on the same running line again.

After Wang Li scored another goal to equalise for England, the fighting spirit of the Ecuadorian players was somewhat affected, but they did not give up hope.

Now the score is only 2:2, not to mention whether Ecuador will score, as long as the score is dragged until the end of the game, then they still have hope to use the penalty shootout to eliminate England.

Obviously, with the score of a draw, it is impossible for Ecuador to give up.

So, after the resumption of the game, the Ecuadorian players regained their spirits, found the motivation to play, and continued to work hard to contribute to the team's victory.

This makes the game very exciting.

Ecuador also found a good opportunity, and with 67 minutes played, striker Delgado finally found his chance, taking advantage of a corner kick, he headed the ball to the bottom of the ball, and a fish rushed to the top to complete Ecuador's most dangerous shot of the second half.

It's a pity that Thomas got his way!

The 22-year-old goalkeeper has finally shown that he has squeezed out Paul. Robinson became the main goalkeeper, and he reacted in an instant and knocked the ball out of the penalty area with both fists!

This performance won unanimous applause from the audience, and even Ecuadorian fans had to admit that the strength of England's young goalkeeper was too strong, and this kind of goal was almost a must-score, but Thomas still saved it.

Amazing reaction speed!

Astounding strength!

At this moment, many coaches and football professionals have seen the highlights of this goal, and they are about to re-evaluate the value of Thomas, who has this kind of performance in the World Cup, and Thomas's value will definitely increase greatly after the game.

Perhaps he could consider going to Inter Milan with Mourinho

Of course, none of that mattered, the important thing was that England had a good counter-attack, the first of the game.

In the wave of attack in Ecuador just now, their players pressed very forward, which made the back line look a little empty, and Gerrard and others were involved in the defense just now, but Wang Li did not, and he almost never returned to his half in normal games.

And now that the wait has come to fruition, England supporters across the pitch felt as if they were about to see another one-on-one goalscoring performance.

Surprisingly, Wang Li didn't do it.

After winning the ball later in the halfway line, he pushed the ball to David on the right. David Beckham.

Speaking of which, in this game, Beckham may be a little out of form, his performance is not very good, and he can only be said to be a qualified right midfielder.

And Wang Li still trusts him, the two have been working together in Real Madrid for more than a year, and he can't know Beckham better.

Sure enough, when Wang Li walked Ling Bo and shook off the two Ecuadorian players who were following him, the football seemed to hang directly at his feet naturally!!

Such a wonderful pass attracted a round of applause from the audience!

"Beautiful! David Beckham made a great pass! The on-site narrator said.

In fact, Beckham and Wang Li both know in their hearts, at least in the England team, Beckham only has such a tacit cooperation with Wang Li, the pass just now is not how good Beckham's footwork is, but with Wang Li so many times, they have already played a tacit understanding, Beckham understands Wang Li's running and speed very well.

If it were a different person, it would be difficult for Beckham to play so precisely.

And the important thing is that Wang Li received the pass! At this time, he had reached the left side of the penalty area, only about 15 meters away from the goal, and there was only one Ecuadorian fan in front of him.

"It's in!" Many people who know Wang Li are silent in their hearts at the same time.

The goal is certain, the difference is how to go forward, but Wang Li's choice is still beyond their expectations, he shot directly!

This is a bit strange for Wang Li, because in such a situation, he can use his dribbling ability at his feet to even easily pass the goalkeeper to score.

But Wang Li still chose so.

Actually, this is the easiest way for Wang Li, just because he has 100% confidence that this goal can be scored!!

There is no doubt that the football hangs directly in the corner of the goal, and the distance of 15 meters is the same for Wang Li as standing on the goal line to shoot, how can the opposing goalkeeper Bella Fuord have time to react!?

3:2。

England finally overtook the score!!

With three long-range shots and three goals, Wang Li finally laughed at this moment, and he scored another hat-trick.

He stood in the Ecuadorian penalty area, silently watching the fans, watching all his teammates running in excitement, and stretched out his fists to the sky with his hands clenched.

At this moment, everyone in the audience was cheering for him.

This may be the last scene of Ecuador's struggle in the mud
