Ashley Cole never imagined that he would receive a yellow card for a casual joke with a team-mate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The referee did not hesitate to give the card, which made Ashley Cole feel innocent, and he tried to explain it to the referee, but it was completely useless, and his teammates hurriedly pulled Ashley Cole away, otherwise the yellow card would have turned into a red card, and it would have been even more unlucky.

"Idiot!"

Wan Sheng watched from the sidelines and scolded his mother.

It was a good goal, but the opposing goalkeeper was injured, which was very beneficial to the England team, but Ashley Colebeth received a yellow card, and he didn't bother to complain to the fourth official.

The referee showed a yellow card without any problems.

Ashley Cole's apparent index finger up could easily be seen as a provocation to opponents or fans, especially after the opponent's goalkeeper Lloris injured his index finger, which is nothing short of a direct taunt and can be considered a lack of sportsmanship.

Some French fans in the stands began to express their displeasure with Ashley Cole.

These voices made the 'innocent' Ashley Cole completely provocative, and now the facts don't matter at all, even if Ashley Cole is innocent, the referee will not take back the yellow card, and the French fans who are 'almost certain to lose' will not listen to his explanation at all.

Wan Sheng huffed back to his seat.

Ashley Cole received a yellow card, but the situation did not change, England still led by two goals, and it was too difficult for France to equalise.

In the next game, the two teams continued to play an offensive battle.

With a two-goal lead, England was full of fighting spirit, and the French team wanted to counterattack, but they couldn't play an advantage at all, judging from the game, even some French media admitted, "It's too difficult for the French team to tie." ”

France coach Blanco stood on the sidelines, watching the game carefully, constantly recalling England's two goals.

What went wrong with the team's defense?

He kept thinking.

With Steven Gerrard's goal, Blanco had found the crux of the matter, which was that the team's blockade on the edge of the box was not enough.

Walcott's goal before can also be said to be a long-range shot, Gerrard was a direct world wave, England used two long-range shots to score two goals, which shows that the French team is not limited enough to the front of the penalty area, giving England players the opportunity to kick in front of the penalty area.

But summarizing is useless.

By this time, Blanco also knew that the team had no less hope of equalizing the score.

This match may be useful for the other two teams in Group D, who will watch the game and find a way to limit England, while France will have to accept a loss.

The first game has 0 points, which is not a good situation.

If they want to qualify for Group D, they will have to play well in the next games.

――――

England in the dugout.

Wan Sheng crossed his toes and watched the game casually.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the game.

It is almost impossible for the French team to tie the score, although it is a pair of attacks, but the England team is still very tight in defense, especially the speed of offensive and defensive conversion, and it does not give the French team a chance.

Wan Sheng was quite satisfied with the game.

In fact, victory is not the most critical, but the effect of victory, the first game can win against the French team, for the England team, it greatly increases the confidence of the players, for the next two group games is very beneficial, it can be said that winning this one, England team group qualifying has no problem.

What makes Wansheng even more satisfied is that the team has truly 'taken the victory into hand'.

In the previous England team, every game was fought out, and when there was an advantage, they would choose to stick to the goal, and playing against a weak team was no different from playing against a strong team.

This is the result of a lack of confidence.

England don't take the initiative to control the game, the players don't have this concept, the average coach wants to be 'stable', and after this game, every player can find confidence.

As far as the first half is concerned, after taking a one-goal lead, the team played relatively steadily, attacking and defending at the same time, and almost did not give the French team a chance.

That's progress!

Wansheng wants to see the team continue to improve, otherwise it will be too difficult to compete for the European Championships, such as Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy, which are much more difficult to deal with than France.

――――

Almost everyone thinks that France don't have many chances, which shows how tough the French team is playing.

But the French team did not give up.

In fact, with 15 minutes remaining, it was hard to argue that they couldn't keep the scoreline behind them, and as the clock wore on, the French team became more and more aggressive.

England have started to retreat properly.

In the face of such a fierce attack by the French team, the England team had two goal advantages and did not have to continue to fight, which really gave the French team a chance, but the England team was not without threat, and their occasional counterattack was enough to threaten the fragile French defence.

The more anxious France are to score, the less the defence cares, and the greater the threat of England's counter-attack.

In the 81st minute, England had a break in front of the ball and it was Theo Walcott who, after snatching the ball, saw that there was no chance to move forward, and immediately passed it back to Gerrard.

After a quick pass of two feet, the ball reached the feet of Morris and immediately two French players pressed forward.

Morris opted to continue passing.

The football was at Gerrard's feet again and the French defenders immediately chased after them, they needed to get the ball back quickly and then attack, otherwise the game really ran out of time.

But at this moment, Gerrard suddenly got up and passed the ball over the top.

The French team was caught off guard!

As centre-back Mexs was about to charge for Gerrard, he saw the ball fly overhead, and the only thing he could do was follow the trajectory of the ball to see where it landed.

The ball landed on the line of the penalty area, which was quite dangerous, and to Mex's horror, he saw an opposing player rushing up quickly.

"Gerrard, a pick!"

"Maurice! Maurice! He plugged in so quickly that he couldn't tell that this was a 34-year-old veteran! ”

Gerrard's pass was too well timed.

Morris was also very decisive when he plugged in!

The French team pays a lot of attention to defending Morris, and the central defender Rami is next to the defense Morris, but Morris is rushing straight over, not watching the football at all, and Rami made a judgment, and when he rushed diagonally, he didn't have time to clear the ball in advance, so he could only watch Morris stop the ball.

Ribery pounced too!

Just now the French team launched an offensive, but the ball was cut off in the backfield, Ribery has been running back, unlike other French players, Ribery used to be teammates with Morris, he still has a certain understanding of Morris, so after withdrawing, he pounced directly on Morris.

Morris also noticed Ribery.

He is no stranger to Ribery, he knows that the opponent is physically strong and has good defensive ability, he can't be entangled by Ribery, otherwise there will be no chance.

Originally, Morris wanted to continue passing, but he immediately changed his mind.

He started up suddenly and rushed straight into the box with the ball!

This choice seems to be normal, but it surprised Wan Sheng, Morris has never been the kind of player who likes to play individually, his foot skills are very good, but he rarely breaks through with the ball on the field, let alone dribbles into the opponent's penalty area, choosing to find opportunities on his own.

But at this moment, seeing Morris's resolute face, Wan Sheng suddenly understood.

Morris is very calm and uncontested, and he doesn't care about anything at all, but as a professional player, he also hopes to win honors and have more good memories.

This year is the best and last chance.

To win his highest accolade, it's not enough to win the title with the team, he has to work hard to show himself, show his quality and value, and make everyone look up to him.

At an opportunity like this, he didn't cooperate with his teammates anymore, but rushed forward with the ball himself!

"Come on!"

Wan Sheng cheered for Morris in his heart.

Morris brought the ball into the box, but in reality, it was not a very good option, and although he shook off the retreating Ribery, Lamy was able to defend him closely.

In the box, being tangled up in a centre-back is not an easy way to get out.

Morris needs to get rid of Rami and find space on goal.

When they saw Rami tangled with Morris, the French team also exhaled, but Morris didn't let Rami get entangled for too long, he shook from side to side as if to break through, and then suddenly knocked the ball with his backheel.

Rami thought it was a pass and subconsciously looked back.

At this moment, he stopped, twisted his waist and took a step back, and then used his right foot to push the ball forward, Rami didn't have time to react, and by the time he realized that Morris was not passing, Morris was already flashing out of space.

Then he leaned up and swung his right foot!

"Maurice—!"

Lineker, the British commentator, yelled, followed by a long roar that didn't breathe, "Goooooooal!! ”

The ball went straight into the net from the hands of French substitute goalkeeper Mandanda.

Everyone stared blankly at the court, thinking back to the way Morris got rid of Lamy just now, it was simply a very subtle escape, and the action was too fancy to dazzle.

At this moment, it seems that scoring goals does not matter.

Everyone is reminiscing about Morris's classic pass, he used three moves to shake Rami so much that he didn't even know where the ball was.

There was a brief silence in the Donbass stadium with tens of thousands of people, and then cheers erupted!

――――

Looking at the football in the goal, Morris raised his arms excitedly!

Just now, he had an impromptu idea, in fact, he wanted to pass it to his teammates, but when he saw Ribery and Rami attacking back and forth, he suddenly wanted to try it himself.

He did it!

The rest of the teammates came over to congratulate!

Wan Sheng kept applauding on the sidelines, admiring Morris's performance, he always knew that Morris was a very good player, in terms of ability, higher than C-Ronaldo and Messi, it can be said that Morris is the best footballer in the world, there is no one at all.

Morris is a player that Wansheng has carefully cultivated.

Perhaps it has something to do with the late bloomer, Morris has never been the kind of player who takes care of the individual in the game, he always thinks about the whole team, so much so that it affects his individual performance.

Now seeing Morris play like this, Wansheng feels very gratified.

In many people's understanding, this is no longer a simple goal, but a perfect individual performance!

After the soccer ball flew into the goal, almost all the TV sets were replaying the goal, and all the commentators were amazed by Morris's performance.

'It's a truly genius goal and one that can't be replicated!'

"Morris is in the penalty area, completely teasing Lamy!"

"Against a world-class centre-back like Lamy, Morris can still show his superb personal skills in the tight area of the penalty area!"

"Maybe this goal will be the best ...... in the group stage"

"A lot of people say England lack skill, but look at Maurice's goal! Who will dare to say that in the future! ”

"Morris is the flag of the England team, and even though he is 34 years old, he is not inferior to any young ......"

"It's wonderful! Excellent! ”

The England players celebrated their goal and were very happy.

3 to 0!

With ten minutes to go, it was impossible for France to recover three goals.

The winner is decided!

――――

Watching the celebration of the England team, the coach of the French team, Blanco, sighed deeply, before the game, he knew that it was not easy to play, but he did not expect the team to lose so badly.

Three goals!

He can't remember the last time England played France, with a goal difference of three goals, but it's safe to say that it was at least 50 years ago.

In the past 20 years, the two teams have played each other, and neither team has scored three goals.

Right now...... appeared.

But the losing side is the French team!

In fact, it is not unacceptable to lose the game, and the French team still has a chance to win the remaining two games in the group stage, as long as they win the remaining two, they can also enter the knockout round.

But three goals behind is different.

Blanco could already imagine what kind of public opinion pressure he would be under after the game, and thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the England coach's box.

The Chinese was clapping, seemingly praising his own player.

Morris?

That's a real genius!

But perhaps, this Chinese is more talented than any player, and he has only been in charge for ten days, bringing so many changes to the England team, it is really unimaginable!

No wonder when he took charge of the England team, the English media was expecting it!

――――

The game ended up being completely garbage time.

After Morris scored a goal, Wan Sheng directly used up three substitutions, and one by one substitutes came on to adapt to the game, and French coach Blanco also gave up the game and used the substitutions to let the substitutes play.

In the closing minutes, neither side scored.

There was no suspense about the outcome of the two teams, and the referee only gave one minute of stoppage time, and after one minute, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game without hesitation.

With the whistle blowing, the game is over.

In the end, England won the match against France and took all three points in the first round of the battle!
