Chapter 65: You Come and Go

Seeing that England's first shot on goal was unsuccessful, tens of thousands of fans at the scene let out a huge cry of regret, and at the same time applause began to ring. The fans were the loveliest of people, and although Shearer didn't score with a header just now, the fans didn't hesitate to applaud themselves.

With Shearer's header unsuccessful, both Spain and England could have a shot on target. However, with both sides having a shot on goal, it seemed that the opponent had been tested and the real attack began, and for a while the pace of the game between the two sides suddenly increased, and breakthroughs and tackles began to be staged.

In the 12th minute, Echeberia received a pass from Salgado, broke through Beckham with a deflection feint, and began to run wildly with the ball until he was about to cross the line.

Campbell jumped ahead of Morientes and leaped to his feet to tip Echeberia cross out. The ball landed right at Baraha's feet, and Baraja pulled out his foot and fired a furious shot, which was saved by a focused Seaman.

Guti took a corner, and this time Seaman attacked directly, grabbed the corner kick from Guti in his hand before Raul's header hit the goal, looked at the situation on the field, threw the ball with one hand, and sent the ball to Beckham's feet.

Beckham ran dozens of meters with the ball and passed to Owen in the front, who took the ball and began to play his own wind-like speed, flashed Marchena's tackle, and shot directly more than 20 meters outside the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball missed.

In the 19th minute, England won a free-kick from 40 yards from goal, Beckham hoisted the ball directly into the box, Gerrard jumped high and hit the goal with a header, which was saved by Casillas.

The reflexive Puyol grabbed Owen directly and kicked the ball out with a big kick. The ball was picked up by Campbell in midfield, and looking at Frank Lampard, who was preparing to return to the defence, Campbell passed the ball straight over.

Frank Lampard, who got the ball, dribbled horizontally from 30 yards from the fans, and shot after a gap in the air, but this time Lampard's shot was not on target, and the ball was finally held by Casillas.

For a while, the game on the pitch began to be intense, and the transition between attack and defense of both sides was very fast, at this time Raul was still fighting for a header in the England penalty area, and ten seconds later, Shearer began to shoot in the Spanish penalty area. In short, the pace of the game was fast, and the fans were dazzled and addicted.

In the 26th minute, Owen received a pass from Gerrard, resisted Marchena's squeeze behind him, and crossed the ball to Shearer on the side.

Shearer got the ball, relied on his strong body, fended off the squeeze of Elgra behind him, and at the same time gently slammed the ball back with his right heel, and at the same time quickly turned around Elgra to catch up with the ball and hit the goal.

Unfortunately, this time Shearer's shot was saved by Casillas, who came out in time, and it turned out that when Shearer knocked the ball with his heel, Casillas knew that Shearer was afraid that Shearer was going to suddenly turn around and shoot and start attacking.

Sure enough, Casillas' guess was correct, and when Shearer shook off Elgra behind him to shoot, Casillas was already less than two metres away from Shearer. The two-metre gap allowed Casillas to successfully block Shearer's angle, which bounced off Casillas' left foot and was saved by Salgado.

Shearer didn't score for such a good chance this time, and the fans of the entire Anfield stadium made a huge cry of regret, and even the veteran Shearer couldn't help but shake his head regretfully when he saw that his shot was not saved by Casillas.

"Oh my God, Allan almost had a shot on goal, but this time it was blocked by the young Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas. I really don't know why this young goalkeeper has such a big guts, you must know that if Casillas's attack just now did not block Shearer's shot, then he would definitely become a sinner for Spain. ”

Seeing that Shearer's shot was blocked by Casillas, the commentator at the scene couldn't help but speak. At the same time, Casillas, who did not have a good heart, told Casillas that you just made a random attack, and if you were scored by Shearer, you would be a sinner in Spain.

The commentator's idea is very simple, that is, to see Casillas is a young goalkeeper, young people, how much will be affected by his words, and in the subsequent game, if this situation is encountered, I am afraid that Casillas will hesitate, and then England will have a chance.

It's a pity that this commentator doesn't know Casillas, to be able to become a giant club like Real Madrid, to be able to become the main goalkeeper of Spain and Real Madrid at a young age, Casillas's psychological quality is not paper, and it will not be affected by a few words from the commentator.

"That's amazing!" George, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but sigh when he saw Casillas save Shearer's shot. As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Casillas's pounce just now can be clearly seen by George, who is sitting on the bench.

I have to say that in terms of the position of goalkeeper, Casillas, who belongs to the short stature, is indeed very sensitive, and the speed is still very fast, if the speed is not fast, Casillas's attack just now, I am afraid that he will give Shearer a big gift.

It's a pity that the situation on the field can't allow George to think too much, because Salgado has already gone down the England line and started to pass the ball with his feet after two one-two with Echeberia.

However, this time Morientes' header was the same as Shearer's just now, due to Campbell's interference, the ball was also weak, flying towards the goal, He-Man didn't even have to save sideways, just took a random step and grabbed the ball very easily.

'George, you know why Gunnar Solskjaer has repeatedly scored key goals for Manchester United and as a substitute. That's because Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was not idle on the bench, but carefully watched the situation on the pitch and knew it very well. So when Solskjaer is substituted, he can often play the role of a cavalryman. Why, it's all because Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is watching the situation off the pitch in great detail and knows what to do when he comes on. ”

Just as George was watching the game on the field, Keegan on the side suddenly said to himself. Listening to Keegan's words, George thought about it carefully and didn't say anything, just nodded to indicate that he knew.

"It can be said that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's ability to read games is definitely among the top in the world because he usually observes the distance on the field very carefully when he is on the bench, and I believe that even after Solskjaer retires, he is definitely a good coach."

Keegan really has great hopes for George, after all, in Keegan's eyes, George represents England's super genius who has only produced one in a hundred years, and for Keegan, the World Cup is an eternal regret, so Keegan wants George to pay attention to the situation on the field and participate in the game reading ability, so that George can grow better and faster, and round his World Cup regrets.

Keegan knows very well that when a professional player has passed his prime, his form will decline rapidly, and when the time comes, the player wants to ensure his form in the game, and the position can rely on experience, awareness and game reading ability. At this time, those world-class defenders who are over 30 years old can still become world superstars because of this.

The representative figures are Italy's Maldini and Cannavaro, both of whom are currently old, and if they want to play against young strikers, whether it is physical, reflexes, or speed, the only thing they can rely on is experience and awareness, and of course the ability to read the game is also very important.

Keegan believes that a good player, whether playing on the pitch at all times or sitting on the bench at the same time, and thinking about the game from a coach's point of view, is important for the player's development in the future.

So when Keegan saw George talking to himself there, he knew that George was sorry for seeing Shearer's great opportunity to shoot without scoring, and couldn't help but remind George to watch the game from a different angle.
