Chapter 22: A Chicken Is Not as Good as an Eagle

Nine minutes into the second half, the Frenchman was cornered, and Jacques replaced Borgosian, who had just played badly, with Trezeguet, and Henry retreated to the original nine-and-a-half position of Bogosian, and Trezeguet went to the center of the field.

Not three minutes after the French substitution, Capello also made changes to the England lineup with a dead goal. The more athletic Scholes replaced Gascoigne, who was sleepwalking, and replaced Michael Murphy, who was only 18 years and 200 days old. Owen replaces Robbie, who has been doing well. Fowler. It was clear that England, who were ahead, were going to fight back to the end.

England's sudden compression of the defence gave the Frenchman the illusion that Jacques felt that Capello had started his 1-0 doctrine again and intended to spend the next almost 35 minutes defendingly. With France in control of the midfield, they began to attack aggressively, and as the hosts, the round of 16 was far from satisfying the appetite of the fans.

However, Capello's change of formation made it difficult for the French team's attack, Southgate's solid defense and Campbell's excellent athleticism and marking repeatedly allowed the French team's newly formed threat in the box to be destroyed, Ince and Barty also fulfilled their role as a defensive gate in front of the penalty area, Zidane could not even break through to the front of the penalty area within 5 meters.

The French team, which had not been able to attack for a long time, quickly paid the price, Campbell's header in the penalty area was cleared, and Beckham stopped the ball outside the penalty area and made a long pass, the ball accurately fell behind the French team's waist, and a figure completed the stop and breakthrough as lightning fast, 18-year-old No. 18 Michael. Irving!

Owen felt familiar with the ball at this moment, facing Blanco's upper grab, the wind chasing boy lowered his center of gravity to the right, and with a slight flick of the outside of his right foot, he broke through the opponent's defense in an instant.

In the 31st minute of the second half, England once again won a single knife, Owen, who made his debut in the World Cup, was much more direct and violent than Ince, and a volley from the corner of the small penalty area went straight to the far corner, England 2:0 France!

The French were dumbfounded, two goals down, and the game ended with 15 minutes left. Let's press up all over the line, England has a "Aston in front of you. Martin", there is such a big gap behind to seize the opportunity again, maintain the current state, and there is no good way.

After another 5 minutes, Jacques had no choice but to replace Djokaeff and replace Dugarry with 1.88 meters, plus Henry, who was also 1.88 meters on the field, and Trezeguet, who was 1.9 meters on the field, and planned to bet on the long pass in the last 10 minutes. Seeing this, Capello also made timely adjustments, and the 1.91-meter veteran Tony. Adams came on to replace Gareth Southgate, and the shortcomings of Adams' slow turn in this situation basically had no effect, and what he wanted was control of the first point.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Dugarry's regretful moment for life came, Thuram crossed from the right, Adams, who had just come on the field, had not fully entered the state, the front point actually leaked, and Dugari, who was not ready, subconsciously shook his head to attack the goal at 6 meters in front of the goal, the ball was too positive, and was held firmly in his arms by Seaman.

Immediately after Owen's counterattack was fruitless, the French team made a comeback, Zidane hoisted the ball into the England penalty area in the middle, Trezeguet and Henry in the crowd jumped at the same time and half-turned and volleyed, and finally the French stick shot the ball into the corner of the goal, this time Seaman could only watch the opponent score.

Trezeguet, who scored the goal, didn't have time to celebrate, rushed into the goal to pick up the ball and was ready to run back. Barty rushed up and knocked over the baguette with one shoulder, and Trezeguet was not to be outdone, getting up and pushing Barty down. The players on both sides in the penalty area immediately pushed and shoved, and the referee rushed into a group of strong men with a whistle, and it took a while to separate the players of the two teams.

David. Barty and Trezeguet were both sent off, but the Englishman's goal was achieved, and less than 20 seconds after the restart, Zidane's long-range shot was accompanied by a whistle that sounded to finally the hosts France were eliminated 1-2, and England had the last laugh this time.

In this way, chickens are still inferior to eagles! However, Capello's on-the-spot scheduling and command in this game are obviously stronger than Jakai's, and I don't know if this product was stimulated by Li Byrne before, and now he knows how to be flexible.

On the final match day of the round of 16, Argentina will face Colombia, also from South America, and the other match will be against the Latin team of Europe, Yugoslavia, against the last hope of Asian teams, China.

Let's take a look at the match between Argentina and Colombia first, with the retirement of players such as Rincón, Colombia is now the only two big players Asprilla and Valderrama, Colombian football is about to enter a long hibernation period, until the 2014 Brazil World Cup J Ronaldo appeared to stand up again.

Facing Argentina, which has the peak of Maradona, Colombia really doesn't even have the strength to fight. The process of this game also clearly reflects the loneliness of Colombian football. The lion king, who didn't like to run on the field when he was young, is 37 years old, how can he still withstand the old horse that glows with a second spring.

In fact, before the World Cup, for the lion king who is about to become the contracted coach of Rice, Li Bern once took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to receive physiotherapy before the World Cup to recover his best condition, to the surprise of the teenager, Balderrama directly refused, listening to him means that he does not want to destroy the natural laws of people, not to mention that he is not as persistent as the old horse, he must stand up to make up for the regret of the last World Cup, the original words of the lion king are: They are all Ben 4 people, what is the picture? What's more, there are talents in the country, if your old horse breaks again this time, will you come next time? As soon as he said this, the image of the lion king immediately became tall in the young man's heart, this Buddhist master can be! It's a bit of the mentality of a retired master in martial arts novels.

There really was no suspense in the game, and Batistuta, who was injured in training, didn't even play. In the 19th minute of the first half, Maradona easily broke through the defense in the midfield, and the bug Lopes was plugged in front of the penalty area, and the latter burst into the penalty area and easily pushed and scored, and Argentina led 1:0.

Fifteen minutes later, Veron broke down the left flank and shook Valderrama's defensive cross and Crespo headed in the back post, and Argentina could be said to have ended the battle in less than 40 minutes.

In the 44th minute of the first half, Veron's direct free kick broke through Oscar's goal, and the Pampas Eagles made three big holes in the Colombian in the half.

In the first 7 minutes of the second half, Asprilla's injury and departure made Colombia's situation worse, and Colombia, which lost its sharp knife, also chose to lie down completely.

IN THE 14TH MINUTE OF THE SECOND HALF, CRESPO SHOOK OFF THE DEFENDER OUTSIDE THE PENALTY AREA AND SCORED A BATTY GOAL, AND THEN 8 MINUTES LATER, THE ARGENTINE NO. 19 PENALTY AREA WAS UNGUARDED AND VOLLEYED INTO THE NET WITH HIS INSTEP, CRESPO, WHO COMPLETED THE HAT TRICK, WAS NOT EXCITED AT ALL, IT FELT LIKE HE SCORED A GOAL IN A TRAINING MATCH, AND HE DIDN'T EVEN CELEBRATE, AND HE APPLAUDED HIMSELF AND PASSED IT.

In the end, Ortega burst into the penalty area in the 37th minute of the second half and was pulled to the ground, and the Argentine team did not even take the initiative to take the penalty, and finally the little donkey himself pouted and kicked the spoon to help Argentina win 6-0 against Colombia. However, Ortega made a stupid move immediately after the goal, and after the goal, he made a six-to-six with both hands against the Colombian goalkeeper Oscar, and then made a shooting motion.

This has provoked public anger, as we all know, the tragedy that happened to Colombian defender Escobar in the 94 World Cup, won everything, what does it mean that Ortega is a fool who makes this move? Remind some people in Colombia to come back and settle accounts with the Oscars?

Needless to say, the referee directly took out a red card and sent the stupid donkey away. Ortega missed the next game as a result.

Up to now, 7 places in the top 8 have been confirmed, only the match between Yugoslavia and China has not yet been played, and Chinese fans are really experiencing the thrill of schizophrenia at this moment, while calmly telling themselves that the national football team has played well for the first time in the World Cup, and on the other hand, they are fanatical in their hearts and shouting: Kill Yugoslavia! Interestingly, at this moment in Dongguan, an entertainment activity called Ice and Fire was invented.
