"No matter what happens outside, your mind should be on the pitch, in the game, don't forget who you are, professional players, and now, you will represent the honor of the country!!"

Stockholm, away, England welcome their first match of the year, Sweden!

When it came to choosing warm-up opponents for the team, the FA listened to Lynn, who also named Sweden.

As a successful head coach, Lynn didn't allow her opponent to have another opponent he couldn't beat for forty years.

It's not that England are much better than their opponents, but Lynn insists that England will not be eligible for higher honours if they don't break this demon.

Because of the Terry incident, England has been in the whirlpool of public opinion, and there must be an impact, but Lynn feels that the problem is not big, the water in England's football circle has always been very mixed, how can there be a clear time.

As long as they survive this period of time, people will gradually forget about it, not to mention, who can say who is right and who is wrong about the matter between men and women?

Sympathy for Bridge, perhaps, is due to human nature.

"Let those who are self-righteous see if we have chosen to commit suicide!"

The match attracted the interest of not only fans from both countries, but also fans from all over the world, whose feud was too long.

And whether Lynn, a coach who has been invincible in the past, will continue his winning journey when he encounters a freak like Sweden?

Much of the hatred builds up little by little, and that's true, and for England fans, a win over Sweden is much more appealing. Every encounter with Sweden is a war to the death. Even if it's a friendly match, since it's a war. Where is the bullshit friendship!

Only such a competition can collide with sparks and attract the attention of the world.

Even before Lynn came into this world, he had always wondered about England's inability to defeat Sweden.

It really doesn't make sense, and there is no reason for it.

Faced with such an opponent, Lynn chose youth and impact.

By the time England arrived in Sweden, the media kept talking about the word forty-one years.

"!"

Lynn scolded this kind of report in front of the whole team.

In exchange for the laughter of a crowd.

Sweden's star is Ibrahimovic, and an English reporter ran to ask Ibrahimovic if he had any confidence in the team that beat Lynn.

Eevee doesn't seem to care that the opponent is Lynn. Instead, he smiled and said that whether the manager was Lynn or not, he noticed that the opponent was England.

"It's been forty-one years, that's a long history, but it's a good memory"

The Swedish media are not as easy as Ibrahimovic, because this time the opponent is very unusual.

They meticulously recounted Lynn's journey over the years and came to the conclusion that Sweden were going to face England, the toughest team to play against, and luckily for them. England didn't take Sweden seriously, and that Lynn really used the game as a place to practice, just look at the starting lineup.

However, they were also kind enough to remind the Swedish stars. Watch out for your opponents.

Lynn's team has never been a good gentleman on the court, but a model of any means to win.

Countless teams have bled head-to-head on Lynn.

Compared to the current squad of the Swedish team, the English are more like barefoot. Beware of the unsightly tactics used by the English on the pitch.

It wouldn't be worth it if their core big man Ibrahimovic was overshadowed by those little-known brats for a warm-up game.

"Rape!"

Lynn was immediately interested when she saw it. It was so cooperative that he even suspected that it was an undercover agent from England.

To say that Lynn had played a lot of tricks in order to win. The Swedes are happy to move out those who may or may not have them, and kindly remind the players of their own country.

It's just that don't overdo it, and the Swedish media clearly can't compare with the English in what they do to disgust people.

Unbeknownst to them, their actions had greatly affected the Swedish team.

On the road leading to the stadium dressing room, the media chased Terry.

Their problems are all Vanessa.

Terry didn't want to answer such questions, and Lynn warned him sternly.

With his head down, his hands over his face, he quickly squeezed inside, and his teammates who were traveling with him protected Terry like bodyguards.

After stepping through the locker room door, Terry was still a little scared to get rid of the crazy group of reporters.

"When is this going to be the first thing to do," Terry couldn't help but worry about his future.

Beckham has reintegrated into the role of captain, he has long noticed Terry's expression, and went over to pat Terry on the shoulder, "Trust the boss, he said it's okay, it will definitely pass soon." ”

Terry barely managed to squeeze out a smile, which he didn't object.

The boss has always been precise in his speech

While the players were warming up, Lynn also stepped onto the pitch and leaned over to touch the turf.

If it was the former Chelsea coaching staff, no one would think that there was anything, they were all used to it, and Lynn was known for his meticulousness, especially with a focus like the turf, and Lynn would not be at ease if he didn't get his hands on it himself.

Koper also grew familiar with Lynn, and knew that it was not a religious ceremony, but an attitude towards the game, so he smiled and said, "The quality of the turf is good, even better than Wembley." ”

Lynn nodded, the Swedes have money, and he knows this very well, so the facilities must be world-class.

Rotten pitches will never be seen in the Nordic countries, but what about Ukraine?

Lynn even wished it was worse today.

After looking at it, Lynn admits that the quality of the turf is really good, except that it is a little short, but it can't be helped, the weather here is really cold.

The fans in the stands were almost filling the stadium, and the England fans who had come from afar began their preparations under the close protection of the police.

In addition to pulling up a few banners in support of the team, a chorus began.

At this point, there is no way for Swedish fans to compare with England fans. It's not a notch worse.

In this game, Lynn sent a young lineup though. However, he does not want his team to continue their winless streak.

He just wanted to put an end to that damn record. Defeat Sweden.

David Beckham also did not start, however, he did not sit in the dugout, but with his team-mates, and it is clear that he is more important as a player.

Barry captained the pitch and walked onto the pitch with the England flag.

Most of the England fans in the stands frowned and complained, "What is Lynn going to do?" Can such a lineup win? ”

"Hey, man, don't worry, Lynn won the League Cup with a bunch of rookies, what is it?"

Thanks to the Swedish media, England fans are once again familiar with Lynn's past achievements.

And the Watford miracle was brought up again.

"Well, hopefully"

The result of the pick was that Barry lost, but got the tee-off.

It's still cold in March, but it doesn't affect the players. It's even better for the game, as long as you don't catch a cold.

The referee blew the whistle and the high-profile game kicked off.

Lynn didn't devise any new tactics for the team, but asked the players to continue to stick to the pressing style of play in the previous period. This was not unexpected.

England have been strong in the game since Lynn came to the fore and achieved impressive results. Croatia were beaten all over the ground by England.

But, soon. Everyone found out that England was still so aggressive. But they were much more conservative offensively, and their pressure was more about destroying Sweden's offensive system.

Could it be that Lynn is still a little scared of Sweden?

England's defense is very fierce, any player will be immediately forced by at least two English players after the ball, one to rob, one to assist, as long as the football is a little away from the body, it will definitely be a fierce tackle.

Ibrahimovic has been directly intercepted by his opponent several times in a row.

He reluctantly turned around and shrugged at Larsson, who passed the ball for him, the opposing defense too

Sweden's players are so frustrated by England's defense that football is gone if they don't pay attention.

What worries them even more is England's counterattack.

Adam Johnson and Downing, who hail from the same club, gave the Swedes more of a headache with their pace and breakthrough on both flanks.

With the addition of Zamora and Sturridge, England was not conservative and wanted to rebel, and Lynn prepared a counter-attack cluster for the Swedes.

At the eight minutes, Larsson also felt Ibrahimovic's upset, and when receiving the striker's return pass, the ball hit his ankle, which bounced slightly farther away, but it was not very far, and it was not a problem in normal times, he only needed a slight step to regain control of the ball.

But not today, Rodwell seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and suddenly grabbed it, and the two of them also had a physical contact, Larsson was knocked away, and the football was also obtained by the English player.

There was no warning at all, and the ball was lost before the reminders of teammates were shouted.

It's too fast.

Ibrahimovic was keen to use his advantage to win in a one-on-one direct conversation with his opponent, but England today didn't seem to give him such a gentlemanly duel opportunity at all, and he struggled to control the ball, hoping to get rid of his opponent's entanglement, but before he could protect the ball and turn around, there was a huge force behind him.

Sweden had been hoping to break down England's defence with their own central breakdown, but it didn't work out well.

It was clear from the stands that Sweden's attack was badly hampered.

They struggled to even threaten Joe Hart.

Despite Sweden's dominance of the attack, there were few shots on goal that would have allowed Joe Hart to make a move.

From time to time, Hilton used his broken gong voice on the sidelines to beckon Hart to keep moving and not let his body go cold.

In the eleventh minute, the Swedes finally broke out of the encirclement and came to England's penalty area near the line, but Karlstrom, who controlled the ball, found that he had no passing target, and it seemed difficult to break through.

I finally saw a crack. Karlstrom couldn't wait to get the ball out.

"Oh - bad pass――――――"

The Swedish commentator covered his face and said sadly.

The ball fell directly to the feet of Barry, who was returning to the defense.

Of all the midfielders Lynn has ever used, Barry is the worst passer. However, that doesn't mean he can't.

What's more, Lynn didn't ask him how accurate his pass was. As long as the general direction is about the same.

The ball crossed most of the pitch and fell to Sweden's left flank.

Adam Johnson's speed has Swedish fans in mind.

Safari was a little careless, and he didn't hold the other man.

Looking at the growing distance, Safari was full of remorse.

Johnson is also desperate, Barry watched Johnson run like this, and he couldn't bear it, this ball Nima didn't forget to pass there.

"Catch up!!"

England's commentator shouted loudly, and just now, almost all the fans in England were cheering for Adam Johnson. Even a lot of people are straining their legs.

Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Johnson flew over and hooked the ball back with his foot as it was already rolling on the sideline.

"Beautiful!"

Lynn also jumped up from his seat, he didn't care if the ball would be a threat or not, but Johnson's spirit of not giving up was exactly what England desperately needed.

Must be uplifted!

At the moment, Sweden's backfield is extremely empty. In order to open up the offensive situation as soon as possible, most of the Swedish players rushed to the front.

Now it's up to Johnson to choose.

For passing, Lynn doesn't have much hope for what this young man is. Lynn knows that the quality of his passing is really average.

"Cut in!!"

Johnson didn't disappoint Lynn, and suddenly changed direction. Kill directly at the Swedes' penalty area.

England's header ability should be good, but it has to be compared to whom. The Nordic teams have been able to fight England to the death in the past because they can compete with England in terms of air supremacy.

Zamora and Styric are not dominant. If Johnson crosses, it will be difficult for the two of them to take advantage.

Once Johnson burst into the box, it was different.

Although the young man did not forget the request of the leader, he passed the ball as low as possible.

Let England's strikers grab the points.

In fact, there are always two sides to such a pass, the high pass may not be met by the striker, and the low cross is likely to not be able to bypass the Swede defence.

But the tall Swedish defenders may not be so sharp at their feet, and it is clear that they are not suitable for defending such a ball.

As soon as Johnson entered the box, the Swedish defenders immediately blocked it.

With a flick of the outside instep, Johnson rushed out of the box again.

"Passing--"

Speed, using absolute ball speed to break through the opponent's interception, this is England's trick, simple, but difficult to prevent.

If you are not careful, you will put yourself in the oolong.

The ball rushes towards the Swedish team's penalty area.

"Oh, dangerous! Ball in -- Column! The goal post saved Sweden"

Skorić grabbed the point, he didn't have a chance to swing his legs, he just blocked the ball with his foot, but unfortunately this time really tested his luck.

The ball bounced towards the goal, and the Swedish goalkeeper made a save, but it obviously didn't work, but the ball hit the post and bounced off the line.

"Whew--"

There was an exclamation in the stands, and many Swedish fans even closed their eyes.

The situation was not in favour of the Swedes and they had to change that and England's counter-attack was a real threat despite not scoring.

Originally, they were going to infiltrate the middle, but they were intercepted by layers of blockage, and it was clear from the heights that England's defensive line was very short and there was not much space to use.

In desperation, Sweden had to use long-range shots to put pressure on their opponents to ease the urgency of their own defence.

The effect of long-range shots is also not good, there are many examples of long-range shots, and even many of them are classic goals, those goals have a common characteristic, that is, suddenness, when shooting, few people are ready to shoot again, and more often take advantage of the opponent's negligence to choose a sudden attack.

Sweden, on the other hand, shot from distance almost for the sake of long-range shots, with most shots blocked by defenders, and even if they missed, they were confiscated by in-form Joe Hart.

In the twenty-fifth minute, Joe Hart played.

"Hart pounced on the ball and got rid of !!"

Ibrahimovic reacted quickly as he lunged towards the ball and almost succeeded, but young defender Gary Cahill reacted equally surprisingly, slamming into the ground while Ibrahimovic was still adjusting his pace.

The ball flew straight off the baseline, and Ibrahimovic froze there, frustrated at his waste.

The first half had come to an end and it was nothing short of spectacular, with England having a very limited number of shots on goal, but the hosts Sweden were also suffering from a lack of fluidity in their attack.

Most of the few shots on goal were made up with long-range shots.

The home fans were very unhappy with the situation.

If the opponent England is all the main players, there is nothing to say about playing like this.

However, people are on the Boy Scouts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are U21.

There is another reason, I haven't lost to my opponent for forty-one years, and now I can't say how to play like this.

"We seem to have forgotten one thing, England manager Lynn John started with defensive counter-attacks, his team is not new to play ugly, England have not conceded a goal yet, but that doesn't mean it can't in the second half, England's defence can withstand how much pressure it can withstand, wait and see."

The narrators poured their anger out on Lynn's head again.

The lethality wasn't high, and Lynn didn't have a chance to hear them say that.

Even if he hears it, he won't care, he's used to it.

If Lynn was still a little apprehensive before the game started, then now Lynn has enough confidence in his team, although he has not yet been able to use the counterattack to succeed, but the youngsters can play the situation like this, which has made Lynn very satisfied.

Just when most thought the first half would end in a draw, England made another tackle.

This time it was in midfield, and it was in Sweden's half (to be continued......
