Chapter 453: One Trick Eats All Over the World
Fast! It's so fast!
It was so fast that they couldn't react at all, and many fans saw the goal, and even their expressions were a little dazed, they didn't expect the England team to score so suddenly, even England fans.
From Joe Cole's pass to Zhang Tiehan's shot, the time is only about 6,7 seconds, in such a short time, Zhang Tiehan completed the action of receiving, starting, passing Hurtado, dribbling, shooting, etc., the whole process is done in one go, even now, the football has been rolling in the Ecuadorian goal, and there are many fans who reminisce about the goal, they can't believe it.
The good thing is that although the goal is short, the result is obviously more important than the process!
Especially for England fans!
They were the underdogs, England were not very good in the squad, and many of them were a little disappointed with the game.
Before the game, England fans thought that this would be an easy victory, the opponent Ecuador is now the bottom of the sixteen teams, and when encountering this kind of opponent, there will be no suspense at the end of the game, but the result is that Ecuador is leading in the first half, Ecuador is playing very well overall, but the England team is not very good.
Such a contrast made England fans very depressed.
Fortunately, now Zhang Tiehan scored a goal to tie the score, and they sighed in their hearts that Zhang Tiehan still had to rely on Zhang Tiehan at the critical moment, and the other stars were somewhat unreliable, and they also began to celebrate the goal loudly
“Gooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!”
At the moment when he saw Zhang Tiehan complete the goal, the British Broadcasting Sports commentator reacted immediately, in fact, he had been looking forward to the goal for a long time, and he didn't care about the fast or not, the important thing was the result. "The ball is in! Sheet! He helped England equalise! ”
"This goal brought the two teams back on the same page, and now the game is equal to a restart, and we can expect a tough battle between the two teams in the future!"
After a few comments, the commentator began to comment on the table of the two teams, "Ecuador's table xiàn today is extremely good, in attack they scored one step ahead of England. Defensively, they also didn't have much of a good way for England, England's attack was often blocked, but after watching the goal just now, I think we should play more to the individual ability of the star."
"Zhang! He used the table xiàn to tell the others, how to play the game! ”
"He received a pass from outside the penalty area, found the opportunity directly with his strong individual ability and scored the ball, this is Zhang! Others may also learn something from Zhang's analysis. Use in the game"
The commentator has become a soccer professor.
However, what he said was absolutely scoffed at by professional football people, learning from Zhang Tiehan, who had just scored? For competitions? It's a joke! The question is, whose ability can be compared with Zhang Tiehan? Joe Cole? Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard? David Beckham?
No one!
The individual abilities of the stars on the field are outstanding, but compared with Zhang Tiehan, anyone is much inferior, just say that the ball just now, Zhang Tiehan's reaction and speed are extremely fast, he dribbles, passes, and shoots without any pause from beginning to end. The movements are very simple and fast, and it seems very simple. But except for Zhang Tiehan himself, it is too difficult for others on the field to do it.
They don't have Zhang Tiehan's explosiveness, nor do they have his reaction speed and shooting ability!
That's the gap.
In the coach's seat, Ecuador coach Hart also smiled bitterly, he didn't expect this goal just now, he originally thought of it. The team's defense near the penalty area is very tight, and it is difficult for the opponent's number 13 to get rid of the defense alone, while the other English players are not good on the whole, and the team can still suppress the England team as a whole, and the game has come to this point. The team's hopes of victory are great.
He didn't expect that Zhang Tiehan would suddenly break out.
The most helpless thing for Hart is Zhang Tiehan's table before receiving the ball, the team did not make any mistakes, Zhang Tiehan suddenly started to the left side of the penalty area, Hurtado also followed for the first time, but what I didn't expect was that the opponent's fullback Joe Cole passed the ball so decisively, Hurtado was also very decisive and then the opponent's 13th ushered in the opportunity to shoot.
It's easy to say, but the whole process makes Hart full of helplessness.
That's what a superstar is!
Although football is a sport of eleven people, when superstars erupt, sometimes it is very helpless, just like Maradona in 1986, who received a pass in the middle line, and scored the ball by himself past six players of the England team, including the goalkeeper, which is a classic goal in the history of football, and it is also a classic of stars 'breaking into helplessness to the opponent', and now Ecuador is facing this situation.
In the past, Maradona's Argentina played against England, but now it is Zhang Tiehan's turn to represent England, and the 'background' has been changed to Ecuador.
Of course, this goal does not reach such a classic Cheng dù, but in fact, the essence is no different.
In the end, the score was tied.
"Will there be a Hand of God in the end, and then we will be eliminated?" Hart thought to himself, feeling really helpless about the goal.
In any case, England equalized the score
After England finished celebrating their goals, the two teams regained their positions and the game continued.
After the equaliser, the two teams returned to the same starting line, the mentality of the game was pulled back, and now the game between the two teams seems to be starting again, and importantly, the mentality of the English players has calmed down a lot.
Just now they have been behind, their offense seems a little anxious, they are in a hurry to score a little worse, and now to tie the score, they are not too anxious, steady and steady attack, although it does not look very gorgeous, but in fact, the offense is more disciplined than just now, and the opportunity to create a threat has increased a lot.
But Ecuador did a good job defensively.
Now on the field, the England team gradually used the steady attack to gain an advantage on the field, and more importantly, their mentality adjusted back, and they thought of Eriksen's tactical arrangement, so they began to increase the hardness of the scramble, and more physical confrontation with Ecuador. In a direct battle, the game became a little more intense, and in this way, the advantages of the England team were brought into play.
England is already better than Ecuador in terms of individual ability, and Ecuador's only advantage is overall coordination and technique, but in the high-intensity scrambles and games. The role of technique and coordination has been greatly weakened, and coupled with the gap in the individual ability of their players, they have little advantage.
England played to their advantage and they also won the on-field press.
That's what Erikson wants to see.
As head coaches, Hart and Eriksen are well aware of the situation on the field, and from the first half to just now, England's table Xiàn has not been able to overpower Ecuador, the main thing is that England did not play to their advantages, but were brought into it by Ecuador. and Ecuador to fight for technology and cooperation, and the England team is naturally at a disadvantage.
But when they stabilized their mentality, slowly sought to attack, and became more rigid defensively, England played to their strengths, and then they stabilized the situation and took control of the game.
A qiē is as simple as that.
However, it will not be easy to get a chance to score, and Ecuador have clearly put a lot of effort into defending England's attack. England's attacking tactics are a bit too simplistic. The Ecuadorian players defended well and even though England were in control of the midfield, it was not easy for them to get the ball in front.
Begin to use synergies to find opportunities.
But it didn't take long for England to find out that it wasn't going to work, and they were playing small passes up front, which was almost the same as giving the football to Ecuador. One is that they often make mistakes if they don't do well, but Ecuador defends very tightly in front, and there is little difference between cooperation and lack of cooperation after pulling.
England then tried to find a direct chance with long balls, relying on the long balls of Joe Cole and David Beckham on the wings.
But Beckham didn't seem to be in shape at all, and he didn't play well on a couple of passes. England fans have been looking forward to seeing Beckham's classic long pass again, but now Beckham's pass is really not a classic, he is more playing the football directly to Ecuador Joe Cole is slightly better than Beckham, but he may be better at dribbling, the game is a little too 'lonely', breaking through a few times and half can not get a chance to get a kick cross, even if there is a chance his pass is not very accurate.
In short, relying on normal offense, it is still difficult to get good opportunities in the frontcourt.
In England's continuous attack, time passed little by little, and on the field, the England team still had a very strong advantage, but for a long time, the England team did not get any good opportunities.
Zhang Tiehan in the front court was very closely defended.
He stands at the front of the team, and needs to shake Ecuador's defense, Ecuador has been very cautious about his defense before, with the goal just now, now their letting go has become more cautious, as long as Zhang Tiehan is near the Ecuador penalty area, he is always followed by two players, and others are at a distance to respond, ready to come up to make up for the defense at any time, so that the targeted defense, even Zhang Tiehan has a headache.
Tactically speaking, he did a very good job, a center to attract the attention of the opponent's defense, is also one of his game tasks, but the overall team is not good, he attracts more defense is useless.
Zhang Tiehan was quite helpless in this regard.
Soon he started to try to drop back a bit, and then he started to dribble towards the Ecuadorian defence, and it was a head-on battle!
Zhang Tiehan knew that if he wanted to get a chance normally, he needed not only strength, but also a lot of luck.
And now what he has to do is to break through head-on, since the whole team is not good, but he tries to use his individual ability to play, Ecuador has a good defensive intensity against him, but if he dribbles past more than two Ecuadorian players, he will not be without opportunities.
If he can shake off a defender who is following him, he will have a chance to shoot with his feet!
He began to do it frequently!
England teammates don't know how to play, seeing Zhang Tiehan's continuous retreat request, they also handed over the ball as soon as possible, this is Zhang Tiehan's current status in the England team, what he wants to do, the whole team will support, even if it is Rooney who has a competitive relationship with him, he has nothing to say to Zhang Tiehan, because Zhang Tiehan's expression is too strong. No one can deny that he is good, and when he asks for the ball, everyone can only be supportive.
What the?
Not convinced by Zhang Tiehan?
Don't take the initiative to pass the ball on the pitch?
If the game is lost, the reason for the defeat must be down to the guy who did it, regardless of whether he is Beckham or Rooney. Because Zhang Tiehan's table is the best in the team, the media and fans are long-eyed, no matter how famous you are, it is useless to say that your face is not good, this is a World Cup game, there is no room for a little mistake, and Zhang Tiehan is the most soulful player of the England team, if you don't support him on the field, it is tantamount to dragging the whole team back.
The current Zhang Tiehan is so important in the England team!
So next, when I saw Zhang Tiehan, he tried to use his personal ability to break through again and again. When he doesn't even pass the ball to his teammates, everyone's eyes are still full of trust, not only because of fame and strength, Zhang Tiehan's appearance is also convincing to everyone, although he often fails, he can always pass at least one Ecuadorian player every time, and even many times, there is not much to make the defending Ecuadorian player have much to do. can only rely on the way of siege to prevent Zhang Tiehan from dribbling forward.
The others were also very cooperative with Zhang Tiehan's attack.
Gerrard, Frank Lampard, for example, they always try to step up and find gaps. If Zhang Tiehan can find a good opportunity and pass the ball, maybe it will be a good opportunity.
And they did, and they got their chance.
It's a pity that both of them are not in very good shape, and in the next ten minutes, Zhang Tiehan made three wonderful passes. It's a pity that Gerrard wasted two feet, Lampard wasted one, especially Gerrard's first chance, which was a pity, he received a pass on the line of the penalty area, and the defensive attention was focused on Zhang Tiehan at that time. Gerrard couldn't defend at all, and he could even calmly take two steps forward, but in the end, the shot was not flattering, and the football went straight into the arms of Ecuadorian goalkeeper Moura, which made Gerrard himself feel ashamed.
The three shots of the two made England supporters smile bitterly.
The British radio and television commentators couldn't help but complain, "It seems that Zhang passes the ball out and gives others a good chance, it is better for him to face the defense himself" Even England fans don't have much confidence in their favorite stars, that is, Zhang Tiehan is still good alone, and other people's shots are really stinky.
The game went into the final five minutes.
Zhang Tiehan's breakthrough defense again and again undoubtedly made him the protagonist of the whole game, and most of the defensive attention of Ecuadorian players is also on Zhang Tiehan, they also seem to feel that the rest of England is not a big threat, even if they are given a chance to score, let alone when the opportunity is not good, they feel that they can defend Zhang Tiehan with peace of mind.
Despite this, in the 87th minute of the game, Zhang Tiehan still created a threat!
This counterattack after the conversion of attack and defense, after Ecuador lost the ball in the England half, Zhang Tiehan received a pass from his teammates in the middle line and immediately began to move forward, but he received the pass a little later, Ecuador had time to retreat a short distance, although Zhang Tiehan's speed was fast, but he still had to delay some time in the face of defense.
He broke through two Ecuadorian players in a row, Lara and Castillo!
These two players are not famous, but their spirit is still commendable, after being broken by Zhang Tiehan, they tried to keep up, although Zhang Tiehan's speed is fast, but in the breakthrough with the ball, there is still to be a stop in the face of defense, and as a result, at the edge of the penalty area, he was surrounded by three Ecuadorian players.
The other player is central defender Espinosa.
Espinosa's defense is really good, Zhang Tiehan failed to break through Espinosa at the first time, and was surrounded by three people before and after, Zhang Tiehan stopped for a moment, slammed the ball to the right side, and then went over to shoot with his feet, seeing this action, Espinosa was about to block the ball with his body, but it was a little late, and Lala behind Zhang Tiehan made a judgment, he saw that he couldn't stop Zhang Tiehan, and directly chose to foul.
Espinosa is the last person in the team's defense, and it is indeed too dangerous to let Zhang Tiehan play in this position!
It was a clear tactical foul and referee Brickry didn't hesitate to give Lara a yellow card and awarded England a free-kick from very close range on the edge of the box
England are deliberating to take a free-kick.
There is no doubt that this position will be given to Beckham, but Beckham did not go directly to the penalty spot, but asked Zhang Tiehan, "Do you want to try?" "A lot of people know about it. Zhang Tiehan's free-kick footwork is also very good, even if Beckham is the captain of England, the relationship between the two is very good in private, but he still has to ask.
Zhang Tiehan looked at the location and shook his head, "It's better for you to come." ”
He has judgment in his heart. It was still too close for him, and although he could have a shot with a wider arc, it would have to be farther away for him to be sure, the ball was too close, and he wasn't sure that the ball would go around the wall and threaten the goal.
He's still not good at free-kicks that get too close.
Beckham nodded.
Unlike Zhang Tiehan, he is good at this kind of very close ball, and he takes free kicks by technique rather than strength, even if Zhang Tiehan learns his free kick footwork. But the styles of the two are still very different.
Ecuador has lined up the human wall.
It looks like Ecuador's defense is a little nervous, but their mood is understandable, and in this position, any team, any defender, will be a little nervous in the face of the penalty kick of David Beckham, one of the best in the world, and that's the pressure on Beckham's famous free-kick.
There's no denying that Beckham is a bit older now, and he's in a much worse shape than he was two years ago. But his curling free-kick is still a great skill that no one can underestimate.
Referee Brickry signaled that he was ready to take a penalty.
Beckham took two steps back. In front of the eyes of everyone in the stadium and countless fans in front of the TV, he began to run forward, and then swung out that 'golden right leg' and kicked it on the lower edge of the football.
The soccer ball flies up on the grass, drawing a delicate arc.
Ecuador's human wall jumped, but they couldn't stop football. The ball went around the wall and towards the back of the net, where Ecuadorian goalkeeper Moura struggled to move to the left before jumping up and making a pounce. But he was destined to be the back of the shot, and by the time he got into position, the ball had already flown into the corner.
The ball is in!
Riot!
England fans celebrated the goal almost like crazy, not only because it was close to the end of the game, but also because it was David Beckham's classic 'Beckham's classic 'Beckham's curveball.
Banana balls.
Recalling the story of David Beckham's World Cup free-kick, it left a very deep impression on England fans, and Beckham's first free-kick in the World Cup was back in the 1998 World Cup.
In the 1998 World Cup, England faced Colombia, Beckham took a direct free kick from 30 meters out and pierced Mondragon's ten fingers, which made the fans boil.
Beckham was unable to play due to suspicion from manager Childlet Hoddle, and in the match against Colombia, he was a supporting player in the team and took on the burden of taking the free-kick. Under the pressure of a heavy game, he easily fed the ball into the net in a "textbook" fashion, cementing himself as England's number one free-kick specialist.
In the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, David Beckham scored from a free-kick in the last minute to help England draw 1-1 with Greece and secure a ticket to the 2002 World Cup.
Since then, the right flank of England has become Pei's world.
In 2004, Adidas designed a personal trademark logo for Xiaobei based on the posture of taking free kicks. Adidas also announced that they will renew Beckham's contract until 2008.
The latest logo has already generated £40 million in advertising revenue for David Beckham.
This is also a reflection of the value of Beckham's free kicks, and Beckham was very happy when he saw it, saying, "This logo is completely designed according to my personal characteristics, and many people can't help but think of my free kick when they see it. My free-kicks are world-renowned, aren't they? ”
He didn't have a bit of modesty.
But no one questioned him because his free-kicks were so impressive, and even now, when world football talks about free-kicks, who wouldn't want to think of the name David Beckham?
From 95 and 96 years to become the main force of Manchester United until now, Beckham has been famous for ten years, in the past ten years, his form has been up and down, career fluctuations, but the only thing that has not changed is his free kick, no matter when, no matter which team, no matter how much the media and fans are dissatisfied with his form, but he can score wonderful free kicks at any time.
This is the real 'one trick to eat all over the world'!
Now David Beckham, once again showing this magical ability in the World Cup, and it is against Ecuador, almost every England fan is celebrating wildly, and every teammate has sent blessings to Beckham.
Zhang Tiehan also laughed and hugged Beckham!
"Well done, David!"
Anyone must give a word of praise. (To be continued......)
