In the other match of Group B, the confrontation between Brazil and Mexico was extremely intense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Perhaps because of the bet with Chen Xi, Adriano was particularly brave in this game, and the Brazilian striker scored two goals with an overhead kick.

It was also with Adriano's two goals that Brazil tied the score twice after falling behind Mexico twice!

Mexico's quality in the match against Brazil has also made the media who predicted before the match that England and Brazil would finish in the top two places is starting to be reserved.

Eriksen also began to concentrate on preparing for the Mexican team's game.

After the game, Chen Xi received a call from Adriano.

"Hehe, I'm 2-1 ahead on the scorer list right now. You're ready to treat me to Chinese food! On the other end of the phone, Adriano's voice was very sassy.

"It's only one round of the group stage. What's the hurry, although I think the barbecue is a little greasy, but this barbecue is for you! "Chen Xi is not the kind of person who will suffer from his words.

"Cut, the team has only scored one goal. Just wait for me to get rid of you with a hat-trick in the next game! Adriano is obviously gloating over that Chen Xi missed the good object of "brushing goals".

"You're still thinking about how to get the right to qualify from the group first! Don't make the last game, you still need to come and intercede with me and tell us to release the water. I'm not going to do it then! Chen Xi also said unforgivingly.

"you. We don't just want to qualify from the group, we want to be the top of the group. See you at Game 3! Adriano said confidently.

"I hope you still have that kind of morale in the third game!" Chen Xi said with a smile-

Adriano didn't stay long at the top of the scorers' charts.

Because in the second round of Group A, there was the first hat-trick of this Confederations Cup!

The hat-trick came in the match between Argentina and Australia.

It was Argentine striker Figueroa who scored a hat-trick to complete a four-2 win in the Confederations Cup.

However, Figueroa, who scored a hat-trick, was not able to reach the top of the scorers' charts, as Australia's Aloisi scored twice against Germany and Argentina, so his tally reached four goals after two rounds.

Aloisi and his Australian team are an extreme team as well. They have scored five goals against the likes of Argentina and Germany in two rounds, which can be described as full of attacking power. But they conceded eight goals in one go. So far, I haven't tasted victory, and it's already been eliminated in advance!

Also eliminated early were African champions Tunisia, who lost 3-0 to Germany after losing to Argentina in the first round.

The group was as it had been said before the tournament, with Germany and Argentina comfortably qualifying.

The only suspense now is who will win the group in the final round of direct dialogue between the two teams!

…… Being blown up twice in a row on the scorers' list also made Adriano more determined to complete a hat-trick against his own team.

Before the second round of Group B, Adriano called to cheer Chen Xi on, saying that both of them were going to cheer up. Otherwise, if the scorer list is snatched away by others, the two of them will lose Inter Milan's face.

Regarding Adriano's words, Chen Xi was really a little speechless.

Moratti didn't ask the two of them to snatch back the top scorer in the Confederations Cup, so why would this disgrace Inter Milan's face?

Of course, even if Adriano doesn't use such a brain-dead excuse to cheer himself up. Chen Xi also does not intend to let go of the honor of the top scorer this time.

Since Chen Xi's debut, with his crazy scoring ability, he has almost been the top scorer in almost all the important events he has participated in.

This feeling of getting the golden boot did not bore Chen Xi, but constantly stimulated his desire to score!

This also made him from an assist-type midfielder at the beginning of his debut to a goal-scoring machine!

In his opinion, although he has only scored one goal now, he has been opened up by his competitors in the scorer list. But he also has his strengths, which is that he believes that with the quality of the team, they can definitely make it all the way to the final. In this way, he has at least two more games than Aloisi, who has already been eliminated.

If this can't surpass him on the shooter list, Chen Xi doesn't have to mess around!

…… In the second round of the group stage, England also moved to Hannover, where their match against Mexico will be played.

During the two days of preparation, Eriksen also trained on the Mexican team's style of play.

Mexico may be a North American team, but their style is closer to that of South America.

The Mexican players are very skilled, and they are more focused on teamwork than South American teams who rely more on the individual performance of their stars. They are very skilled on the ground.

After watching the highlights of several games of the Mexican team in the team's tactical class, Chen Xi found that their style of play was somewhat similar to the Barcelona team in the future. It's also about controlling the ball.

Compared with the same ball-control tactics, the Mexican team is obviously more skilled in ball control.

In the past few days of training, Eriksen also asked the substitute side to simulate the playing style of the Mexican team.

It's a pity that this group of players of the England team is obviously difficult to imitate the ground coordination of the Mexican team.

Therefore, Eriksen can only let the team adapt to the game!

…… June 19 at 20:45 p.m.!

The match between England and Mexico kicks off at the World Cup Stadium in Hannover!

Eriksen didn't make much changes to the starting lineup in this game, he just replaced Owen with the tall Crouch up front, allowing him and Wayne Rooney to form a tall and fast combination up front.

Apparently, Eriksen also found shortcomings in the Mexican team. That is, they are just as afraid of high-altitude balls as the rest of the team.

The Mexican team, like the other team, lined up a three-five-two formation.

They have a combination of Borgetti and Fonseca up front, while the midfield five are Carmona, Pardo, Morales, Pineda and Ziani!

At the back, Osorio, Galindo and Salcido will be guarding the front of goalkeeper Sanchez!

Among the three defenders of the Mexican team, the tallest Galindo is only 1.82 meters, and the other two defenders are only 1.70 meters and 1.74 meters respectively. Today, England can take advantage of their height! ”

"Blanco, the biggest star of the Mexican team and famous for his frog jumping at the 98 World Cup, did not come to Germany because the club was playing in the Copa Libertadores. Therefore, this Mexican team can be said to be a bit of a star, and it is also known as a civilian team. But it was such a civilian team that almost collapsed the Brazilian team in the first round of the group stage. Therefore, the England team should not take them lightly......"

Before the game, Paul Mortensen was analysing the situation in Mexico as usual.

When shaking hands before the game, Chen Xi also felt that this Mexican team did not seem to have many stars. The only thing he can remember is their centre-forward, Borghetti.

The Mexican center forward once scored an incredible "looking back at the moon" in the 02 World Cup, and Chen Xi was deeply impressed by this Mexican at that time!

In fact, in the first round against Brazil, Borgetti was also the best player for the Mexican team. It was his one pass and one shot that helped Mexico lead Brazil twice!

Honk!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!

The first to serve was the Mexican team, and they were the same as the team in the last round of the game, after serving, they first passed the ball back to the backcourt unhurriedly, and then slowly reversed their feet, patiently looking for opportunities.

England's midfielders also started pressing forward as they did last time.

However, the Mexican team showed calm in the face of England's pressing, but used the sudden forward pass to pass the ball to the front of the England team.

"Wow, after three consecutive one-kick passes from Mexico, the ball went to the left side of the front!" Paul Mortensen was also surprised by Mexico's performance.

After Ziani on the left side took the ball, he didn't stick to the ball, and after shaking off a gap lightly, he sent the ball to the penalty area with a horizontal pass close to the ground!

The Mexican striker was in front of him, but just as he was about to receive the ball, he suddenly opened his feet and let the ball slip under his crotch!

The leak apparently shook off Ferdinand, who was guarding him, and the ball came to the penalty spot again!

Borgeti appeared in that position at the right time, and after receiving the ball, he leaned his back against Terry, and then came directly to a sweeping shot that switched around!

This series of actions can be said to be in one go, even if Terry has reacted quickly to make a block, but still can't stop the ball from flying towards the goal!

Fortunately, James, who is the goalkeeper of the Nerve Knife, seems to be in his peak at this time, and he blocked Bolgetty's shot off the line with a magical save!

"Oh~~~ Amazing save! James saves England! Mexico almost took advantage of the first attack after the opening kick-off to break through the door of England! Paul Mortenson shouted with palpitations.

In the stands, the English fans also let out a burst of exclamations.

Eriksen on the sidelines was also nervous, even though he had made full preparations before the game, but the sudden attack of the Mexican team still caught him off guard!

It seems that the Mexican team also apparently studied the footage of England's first game!

Knowing that when they fall in midfield, England will come up and press. So, they also came up with a trick to calculate.

If it weren't for James' quick reaction, they would have gotten off to a fantastic start.

Thinking of this, Eriksen couldn't help but turn his head to look at the coach's bench of the Mexican team.

The Argentine coach of the Mexican team, Lavolpe, is not a famous coach in international football, but his tuning for Mexico is obviously outstanding!

Chen Xi also sweated for the team just now. At the same time, my evaluation of Mexico immediately increased by a few points!

Although taken aback by Mexico's attack, England's performance was not affected.

In a subsequent attack, England fired back at the Mexican.

Chen Xi won the ball on the left, attracted the bag, and then knocked the ball across to Frank Lampard in the middle.

Frank Lampard sent the ball to David Beckham on the right. Beckham didn't make any extra moves, and after stopping the ball, he crossed directly from a 45-degree angle!

The ball made a wonderful arc in the air and found Crouch in the high post of the box...... He just made it clear that he was bullying Mexicans!

It's a pity that Crouch started a little late, and the ball smashed above his forehead and flew into the stands!

"Wow~~~ Crouch missed a great opportunity!" Paul Mortenson also said regretfully.

The game continues!

The Mexicans were afraid of England's counter-attack, but they were unequivocal when attacking.

The Mexican national team, which is based on the Mexican giants Guadalajara, has a good understanding between the players.

In the sixteenth minute, Mexican midfielder Morales played a one-two with his teammates, and after a clever buckle, after avoiding Gerrard's block, he directly hit the far corner with his right foot!

This time, James failed to save the ball, but fortunately, the ball did not fly into the goal, but grazed the post and missed the bottom line!

Four minutes later, England also played a very dangerous counter-attack.

After receiving Chen Xi's pass, Rooney sent a wonderful through ball at the edge of the penalty area.

After Crouch stepped in, he couldn't completely get rid of the opposing central defender Galindo. In the end, the forced shot was saved by Mexican goalkeeper Sanchez!

The goal also illustrates Crouch's lack of flexibility.

Although the big man danced decently, his body, which was more than two meters tall, was always difficult to be as agile as a small man.

Therefore, in terms of ground ball defense, Galindo can still defend Crouch to death.

If it had been Owen just now, this ball would have been nine out of ten!

Of course, this attack on England was not for nothing. At the very least, they got a corner from the left!

This is a great opportunity for them to "bully" the Mexican team!

Faced with such an opportunity, the big men of the England team also came to the Mexico team's penalty area with a profligate smile one by one. It's like a group of scoop ~ guests who come to visit the kiln!

Chen Xi is also a member of the "Scoop ~ Guest Army"!

Because there are only a handful of players in the Mexican team who are more than 1.8 meters tall. The players of the England team are often big men over 185.

Therefore, even Chen Xi, who scored a header in the first game, did not receive too special care at all.

Beside him, the stunned defender was Osorio, who was a head shorter than him.

Of course, Mexicans suffer in terms of figure, and there is no ambiguity in small actions.

Osorio looked like this kind of veteran, and his hands were constantly walking on the sensitive ~ part of Chen Xi's body. Touching Chen Xi's goosebumps.

Chen Xi was depressed and found that even the women who had had many fish ~ water joys with him didn't seem to be as familiar with him as the man in front of him!

"The England 'air force' almost monopolized the skies above the Mexico penalty area. The Mexican team faces a huge test! Paul Mortensen looked at the situation in the box and analysed it.

The Mexican fans in the stands were also looking at the situation on the field with nervous faces at this time.

Finally, Beckham sent the ball to the Mexican penalty area after running as dashing as ever!

With Crouch as a beacon in the penalty area, Beckham also decisively sent the ball to the area above his head!

The Mexican team naturally took precautions against this, and Borgetti, who was the best in their team, was "up to" 1.83 meters tall and returned to the penalty area to defend Crouch.

In addition to this, Crouch has another defender on his side to wrap up.

The two of them were like hamburgers, sandwiching Crouch in the middle, and the emaciated Crouch obviously didn't have the strength to squeeze the two apart, so he could only be confined to that small area.

Even so, Beckham's pass found the right place above his head!

It's just that at this time, Crouch, who was squeezed at the back point, was already difficult to complete the attack, so he could only push the ball in front of the goal and come to a ferry!

This time suddenly caused the Mexican team to fall into a panic in the penalty area!

Players like Rio Ferdinand and John Terry rushed towards the landing spot.

However, Crouch's ferrying this time was a little too violent, and he ferried directly to the front point.

Chen Xi, who had been outflanked at the front point before, was the closest English player to the ball, but he was depressed to find that this ferry, the position was not only a little behind, but also a little too powerful.

He could only take a step towards the far end helplessly, and then he struggled to turn around and shake his head to attack the goal!

Osorio, who was only 1.7 meters tall beside him, couldn't interfere with Chen Xi at all. It's just that seeing Chen Xi use such a slightly awkward defensive header, England fans don't seem to have much hope!

However, when Chen Xi pushed the ball out, Borgeti, who was also in the penalty area, suddenly had a sense of déjà vu!

I saw the ball in the air, which seemed to be high and ticketed, but in fact it was with a strong spin, and when it flew straight to the back post, it suddenly fell again!

Although the goalkeeper of the Mexican team Sanchez is also more than 1.8 meters tall, he can still only be called a small man in the goalkeeper position. Moreover, because he followed the trajectory of the ball to the near corner just now, he could only look at the ball and sigh in the face of Chen Xi's strange header "hanging shot".

Finally, after the ball went over Sanchez's head, it was as if he suddenly felt a strong gravitational pull and fell headlong into the goal!

All of a sudden, the World Cup stadium in Hannover fell silent!

“unbelievable！ what~fantastic~gooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！ Edison! Edison! Edison!!! Paul Mortenson was probably the fastest person to make a sound, his shouts piercing the air as if he wanted to get into the ears of everyone in the room!

"It was an unbelievable goal! Edison was still stubbornly 'looking back at the moon' in the face of Crouch's obviously overpowered header and sent the ball into the goal! It's definitely a world wave! At the same time, it also reminds me of the 'Looking Back at the Moon' header scored by Mexican striker Borgotti, who was also on the field, in the 02 World Cup! In this way, Edison copied his stunt in front of such a 'senior'! With just a slight change of breath, Paul Mortenson burst out of his mouth a barrage of words that spoke almost like rap!

At this time, the English fans in the stands had already reacted.

They gave their highest decibel cheers to Chen Xi, who scored the goal!

On the sidelines!

Eriksen also walked to the sidelines excitedly, looking at his excited beating, people couldn't help but worry about whether the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose would be thrown off by him!

On the field!

As the goalscorer, Chen Xi didn't seem to expect that he would be able to score with such a reluctant header.

Therefore, after scoring the goal, he did not rush to the sidelines to celebrate in a frenzy.

Instead, he spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture with his mouth pursed. As if to say: this ball...... It really wasn't meant to!

Yes, Chen Xi does not deny that this is a balloon.

It can be said that if he was given ten more such opportunities, he didn't grasp to top even once!

Chen Xi's teammates also rushed to Chen Xi's front in a swarm!

"Haha, that's amazing! You must be in the dark, right? ”

"it, just go in anyway!"

"That's it! We only focus on the result, and don't worry about the process! ”

…… Everyone, you are joking with Chen Xi every word.

At this time, the Mexicans are very depressed.

Especially Borgeti, he looked at Chen Xi with a very resentful look.

Forget about plagiarizing your own classic goals, and break the goal of Lao Tzu's team in front of Lao Tzu. That's too arrogant, isn't it?
