After the game, many media commented on the tables of England and Paraguay, among which England is the most crucial, they have a luxurious squad that many team coaches envy, and they are also the team with the highest call to win this World Cup.

In this match, England won comfortably.

But many people don't think that England's table is very good, especially in the second half, England has nothing to praise except for doing a good job in defense, perhaps the only thing worth praising is Zhang Tiehan, who completed two assists and one goal by himself, and is the best player of the game.

Apart from Zhang Tiehan, the England team has little to praise.

France Football has rated players in all positions in England and as a comfortable winner, they are only marginally higher than Paraguay, thanks to their victory, which is clearly better than England's table in the eyes of the media.

As goalkeeper Paul Robinson scored six points, in the first half hour of the game, Robinson had two good saves, but the rest of the game had little to do with him, he had no special brilliance, and even a few small mistakes in the second half, which made Robinson even more questioned, and he only got a passing score.

The two wing-backs, Gary Neville and Ashley Cole, also scored six points, and they just played part of their usual solid defence and didn't play anything in attack.

The two centre-backs, Rio Ferdinand and John Terry, scored high enough to score eight points, with Ferdinand one of England's rare players in the game, playing his centre-back role faithfully and dismantling Paraguay's multiple attacks, bringing a rare bright spot for England. Terry still showed the calmness and steadiness of a big player, and the second half of the game fell into a dull one. There were also several fatal holes in the defence, but fortunately, under the leadership of Terry, he quickly stabilized his position, and Terry flew to save many times in the game, so that many of Paraguay's attacks only heard thunder and did not rain.

In midfield, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard could barely play their game, with Steven Gerrard picking up seven points thanks to a single goal. Frank Lampard, on the other hand, picked up just six points and was substituted at half-time, with a calm presence at wing-back, without any prominence.

Joe Cole, who came on in the second half, had seven points and was seen by the media as much better than Frank Lampard.

Beckham, who scored a goal, also got seven points, but most of the media were not optimistic about Beckham, after all, he almost disappeared from the whole game except for that goal, and the England captain's performance made many people question.

Up front, Owen, Rooney and Walcott all had just six points.

"French Football" said of the trio, "Appearances don't make a difference. There was no bright spot in sight, and the trio did nothing but waste chances in the game. ”

Perhaps it was Wayne Rooney who wasted his chance.

Whether it was Irving who played the whole game or Walcoat who came out in the second half, they almost disappeared for the entire game, but when they were on the court, the commentators had a hard time saying their names.

These are England's three strikers.

The only special thing is Zhang Tiehan, who scored 9 points. Two assists and one goal, the whole game continued to break through and create chances. Zhang Tiehan's appearance is almost perfect, and he almost relied on his own ability to dominate the course of the game.

Not only "French Football", but also all other media almost all mentioned Zhang Tiehan when they relied on the game-

"He's the only one in the England team who looks good."

"Two passes and one shot, Zhang's first World Cup appearance performance is almost perfect"

"The South Americans simply can't defend against Zhang."

"Zhang is still playing well in midfield. Eriksen used him as a central midfielder, and he proved to be a better performer in that position, and he was key to England's victory. ”

'It's hard to imagine what the game would have been like if England hadn't had Zhang.

"This is Zhang! He's in the World Cup. It still has a ruling table xiàn. ”

There are too many reports of Zhang Tiehan's praise, which is not surprising, England fans have long been accustomed to a game, all about Zhang Tiehan, this is the case when he was in Liverpool, happily, now that it has been replaced by the England team, almost all England fans can rest assured that they can cheer for Zhang Tiehan, because they are not worried that the opponent is their favorite team.

But after the game, the media talked more about England's midfield.

The media don't all talk about the game and the team, they also analyze the formation, the table and the problem of saving the zài, which is very important for the media in England, especially the latter.

England's World Cup opener didn't bring more surprises than Germany's, and the 3-0 victory was quite satisfying, but throughout the game, the expressions of the various players in England's midfield were really sweaty.

"I feel so good! It was a lot of confrontation and I had a bit of skin injuries in the process of physical contact, but that didn't take away the good feeling of the World Cup. 'Paraguay's strong will made it not easy for England to win, but the World Cup is a long journey and Gerrard was impressed by the fact that he won all three points on his first appearance.

He felt good after the game.

In the pursuit of the World Cup, Gerrard can be described as tortuous. Steven Gerrard has been baked in the Premier League and is now a mature owner of the European Champions Cup and third place in the European Footballer of the Year award.

Now only the fertile ground of the World Cup is waiting for him to cultivate.

In fact, he, like Zhang Tiehan, is a first-time World Cup, before the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Gerrard was shut out of the temple due to injury, and this World Cup in Germany is a big platform for him to self-appreciate, and there is no room for mistakes.

"I'll admit I was nervous because the World Cup made me wait too long, but luckily I caught the bus this time." Gerald said.

In the opening game against Paraguay, fans around the world saw the familiar Reds in the England midfield, and his attacking desire injected some firepower into the England team, which was not too excited about the overall form, but despite that, Gerrard was not too happy with his appearance.

The only thing to be satisfied with is perhaps the goal.

The first time I played in the World Cup, I scored a goal. Gerard is also content, which may rely more on his tacit understanding with Zhang Tiehan than on how good his own expression is.

But the last time he was rated 7 by the media, he is almost the highest-rated player in England midfielder other than Zhang Tiehan, and he also knows the performance of the rest of the team.

It's not just Gerrard. Others know the same.

'The most important thing is the result' England were on the same page after beating Paraguay, but both Christian Eriksen and David Beckham admitted that "you have to play better" to go further.

However, Beckham talked more deeply about the reason why he was a little passive in the second half and was even suppressed by Paraguay for a while, "We always lose the ball too lightly, and the opponent has a lot of passes and backwards, and we can't stop them." ”

England were on the defensive under pressure in the second half. At one point, it was difficult to get the ball into the opposition half, and it was clear that the supposedly luxurious midfield combination was suppressed by the opponent.

What's the problem?

Why does England's midfield always 'look beautiful'?

Many people are talking about this issue, and while talking about this issue, they also put Zhang Tiehan aside, whether Zhang Tiehan is a starting midfielder or not, he is a special one, after all, in the eyes of the public. Zhang Tiehan is a pure shooter.

David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole, these are the four midfielders in the England squad.

They are all players with distinctive characteristics. Theoretically, a cross from the right, a break from the left flank, a forward and a long-range shot from the middle should have been a combination of super attacking power, but unfortunately England is still only hobbling forward with the crutch of a set-piece, and the results in the sports battle are lackluster.

A closer look reveals that the four players in England's midfield are distinctive. But the weaknesses are no less "prominent". David Beckham lacked the ability to control the belt, Gerrard and Frank Lampard were excellent in attacking forwards, but they were not delicate enough to play a role in connecting the whole team, and Joe Cole was often entangled in local play. None of these four people are capable of taking over the organization's responsibilities and revitalizing the overall situation.

This is Eriksen's worry, and it is the reason why Zhang Tiehan feels depressed, and it has also been thoroughly analyzed by the media for a long time.

Usually at the club, they all have teammates with different characteristics to make up for it, Gerrard has Alonso's delicate organization behind him, and Lampard's partner Makelele also has good scheduling ability, which gives them no worries and can freely play their attacking strengths, but in the England team, Eriksen wants them to pick up the burden of the organization, which exposes their shortcomings, lacking a person with delicate feet and precise passing in the middle, and these strong parts are naturally difficult to put together.

In this game, Zhang Tiehan started as an organizational midfielder.

His appearance is almost perfect, not only goals, but also his football management in the game is quite good, when he gets the ball, he constantly organizes attacks, takes the initiative to pass and receive the ball with his teammates, and somewhat makes up for some of the disadvantages of the England midfield, but he is not a pure midfielder after all, he is better at relying on his own individual ability to solve problems.

With Zhang Tiehan's organized attack, Gerald's cousin was okay.

And the two wings Frank Lampard, Beckham and Joe Cole, who was substituted in the second half, were not very good, they had no tacit understanding with Zhang Tiehan, perhaps this is also related to the weakness of the striker, the weakness of the forward, their passing can not let the striker find opportunities, which means that they did not play.

But England's attack on both flanks was completely inadequate, and it was clear that the problem was poor control of the ball in midfield.

That's England's biggest problem.

In addition to the team's overall problems, there are also players who have been criticized, that is, the 'worst player in the game' - Michael Owen, Owen almost disappeared in the whole game, he took the ball a pitiful time, and the limited few shots on goal did not hit the goal frame.

Coach Eriksen said of Owen, "Michael is very good and he is there to strengthen the connection between Rooney and the rest of the group. ”

This seems to explain Owen's role.

But almost no media bought it, after all, Owen's appearance is on the surface, as a striker who started the whole game, the three goals have nothing to do with him, and Eriksen's defense for Owen is difficult to support.

The problem for the England team now is that the midfield is not good, if Zhang Tiehan is allowed to start in the middle of the midfield. Then the forward line will be very weak.

Rooney, Owen, and Walcott are all very good players, but Rooney has just recovered from injury, Owen has not been in shape, Walket is unusable, and all three of them seem to be very weak.

Zhang Tiehan became the only striker who could be used again.

"The next game depends on the situation, if Wayne still can't find form. I would consider making Zhang a lone striker. Eriksen said as if forced to do so.

These are the problems that England exposed in the game.

In short, the England team got off to a good start, but there were also many problems exposed during the game, and the talk about the game media was either Zhang Tiehan's excellence or the weakness of others.

Of course, there is also gossip.

The biggest gossip is still the enjoyment of the English players, although the British are conservative and old-fashioned, but England has always been very open-minded about the relationship between players and girlfriends, the 1998 World Cup in France. Coach Hoddle did not allow his players to bring their wives or girlfriends to France in the group stage, but he also promised to allow them to visit their camps in England as soon as they reached the knockout stages of the second stage.

In 2002, Eriksen also allowed his players to be with his girlfriend, but before the match against Brazil, he kicked his girlfriend Nancy out of Japan and asked the rest of the team to follow suit. As a result, England lost to Brazil.

As the favourites for this World Cup, England are the same as in the past. The ban is adopted. After leading the team to Germany, Eriksen also encouraged the players to bring their wives and girlfriends with them, and in his view, the tension of the players in a high-pressure game like the World Cup needs to be regulated by the relationship or sex life with his wife's girlfriend.

Because of this, almost all of the team's girlfriends or wives went to Germany. Rooney was even seen running to his girlfriend Colleen's room immediately after the MRI was proven to be fine.

In addition, the Schillschut Hotel, the hotel selected by the England team, also provided convenience for the England team.

The hotel's swimming pool, spa, sauna and massage rooms require guests to be completely naked, and male and female guests can change their clothes in one room. The players' daughters can stay overnight in the hotel, and their expenses are all free.

The hotel explained: "This allows the athletes to really relax. ”

So when England and Paraguay played, they went back to the hotel. It's a place to relax on vacation, and every player is quite satisfied, because they can safely call their girlfriends over to sleep with them for a relaxing night after the game.

Eating a big meal, massage, resting, it doesn't get much more comfortable than that.

Zhang Tiehan also returned to the hotel with his teammates, and then called Lola to ask her to come and stay with him, he didn't expect to be like this during the World Cup, which was really much happier than in other teams.

However, Zhang Tiehan has always been worried.

After the game, he didn't leave because he wanted to celebrate with his teammates, but the next morning, because the team had a morning break and only gathered in the afternoon for formal training, Zhang Tiehan couldn't help but call Zhang Meiling.

"When did you come to Germany? Why don't you say it? ”

Zhang Meiling on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little sleepy, Zhang Tiehan shouted twice, and she reacted, "Tiehan, why are you just calling now, I thought you saw us when you were on the court, but too, it's too far away."

Zhang Tiehan didn't answer.

He can't tell Zhang Meiling that he celebrated with his teammates yesterday and spent the night with his girlfriend and was too lazy to come out and do anything so he didn't call.

Zhang Meiling told Zhang Tiehan the name of a hotel, Zhang Tiehan rushed over directly, and when he arrived, it was only eight o'clock early, he knocked on the door and saw Lucia with a sleepy face.

Zhang Tiehan was surprised, "You live with my sister?" ”

Hearing Zhang Tiehan's voice, Lucia was in a lot of energy, she took Zhang Tiehan's hand, walked directly into the room, and then lay into the bed, dragging Zhang Tiehan to lie down too, "Sleep with me for a while." ”

"But," he had come to see his sister.

"She slept with Zhou Yang, and she didn't bother to get up to report my room number."

"What?" Zhang Tiehan gritted his teeth, "No! I'll have to check it out."

"Don't go, come and sleep."

The pestering goblin hugged Zhang Tiehan, and the two fell on the bed, Zhang Tiehan hugged Lucia's body. Thinking about it, the two haven't seen each other for a year, and they are a little reluctant to leave. said that it was sleeping, Zhang Tiehan could bear it, but Lucia couldn't help it, the two hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and Zhang Tiehan was so brave on the court yesterday. Meeting at the hotel in the morning may sound very romantic.

So Zhang Tiehan passively handed over his essence.

After finishing a qiē, Zhang Tiehan put his arms around Lucia, thinking about his sister and Zhou Yang in the next room, as well as their coming to Germany, and Lola's affairs, in short, there was a lot of thought in his mind.

Lucia lay lazily in his arms and suddenly asked, "Do you know Keira Knightley?" ”

"Who's that?" Zhang Tiehan was a little dazed, "I don't know." ”

"Really?" Lucia glared at Tiehan.

"Does my cousin know you're coming?"

"I don't know. We came on our own, and no one told us. ”

Zhang Tiehan nodded, thinking about it, he still sent a message to his cousin, and then he fell asleep with Lucia in his arms, and he didn't know how long it took, he heard the door ring, he got up to open the door, and saw Zhang Zhenren and Zhang Meiling with an aggrieved face. and Zhou Yang, who followed behind him with a worried face.

"What are you?"

"Meiling, you go in. I have something to say to this kid! Zhang Zhenren was quite fierce and let Zhang Meiling into the room, and then pulled Zhou Yang and walked away.

Zhang Tiehan shrugged.

"Sit casually." He said a word to Zhang Meiling like a master, and then went back to the bed to lie down, hugging Lucia and planning to go for a while.

Zhang Meiling looked at it with resentment.

Zhang Tiehan smiled in his heart, he still felt that his cousin was more courageous than himself, but speaking of which, they were just cousins. And Zhang Zhenren is her own brother, he must care more than herself, and sure enough, she is very wise to pull Zhang Zhenren away to solve the problem.

This question may not be a big deal in Germany, after all, Zhang Meiling is eighteen years old. But thinking about that kid sleeping with his sister, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

I don't know what Zhang Zhenren and Zhou Yang said, anyway, half an hour later, several people sat in the room together.

Zhang Zhenren half-hugged Chen Lin, Zhang Tiehan half-hugged Lucia, both of them had some resentment in their eyes, the most resentful were Zhou Yang and Zhang Meiling, they didn't even dare to get close, otherwise Zhang Zhenren's bull's eyes would stare over.

"Brother, it's not fair." Zhang Meiling gritted her teeth.

"What's unfair, because I'm your brother, I have to take care of you." Zhang Zhenren said.

The brother and sister quarreled a few words, and in the end it always ended with Zhang Zhenren winning, after all, he is the elder brother, and now Zhang Meiling spends almost all the money out of Zhang Zhenren's pocket, Zhou Yang's family conditions are not too good, if it wasn't for Zhang Meiling spending money, how could several people come to Germany to watch the World Cup together?

He was afraid that his sister would be deceived!

Money or something, Zhang Zhenren doesn't care, he is afraid that his sister will be deceived, Zhang Tiehan is also an idea, after all, both of them only have this one sister.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Tiehan was about to leave.

He doesn't have the time to be with them, he has to go to training in the afternoon, he can only stay for a while, Zhang Zhenren is the same, he still has to help Zhang Tiehan contact some business things in Germany, now it's not Camille who does this job alone, with Zhang Tiehan's fame rising, Camille can't be busy alone, and now the two are busy with these things together, and they don't have much leisure, not to mention, Zhang Tiehan's personal contract with Chelsea has not yet been finalized, and Zhang Zhenren has to go to England twice.

The two left together.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhenren glanced at Zhou Yang viciously, but still left a credit card for his sister, "If you see anything you like in Germany, you can buy it home." ”

He said so.

It can be seen that he cares about his sister.

Zhang Tiehan saw this scene, thought about it, gritted his teeth and took out a credit card and handed it to Lucia, he didn't say anything, but the meaning was obvious.

Is Lucia a student after all?

However, Lucia did not accept it in the end, and she refused many times before emphasizing, "I am not with you for money." "She was resolute.

Zhang Tiehan felt a pain in his heart, but finally shook his head and left with Zhang Zhenren.

He felt a little sorry for her.

But he can't be sorry for Lola, maybe he's a bad man. (To be continued......)
