Just after Rossi scored a goal, manager Gareth Southgate jumped into the air with excitement and waved his fists in celebration.

The pressure that had accumulated on my body disappeared in an instant.

Rossi and Bellingham's cooperation is as familiar as old friends for more than ten years.

As soon as Bellingham's pass was 0.1 seconds late, Rossi would be in an offside position.

The speed of this run-in is too fast.

It was a moment when Southgate experienced the joy of Claudio Ranieri, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane.

A player like Rossi is so easy to use.

With a score of 4:0, England has sealed the victory, and the next step is to practice.

In the 71st minute, England made three substitutions in a row.

Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka are out at the break.

Jack Grealish, Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden came off the bench.

This young and luxurious forward lineup is simply enviable.

England continued to press high and kept Iran out of the curve.

The Iranian team is not vegetarian either, seeing the weak point of only one midfielder sitting in England's attack, and strengthening the overall running through successive substitutions.

As soon as the opportunity was given, the long ball went straight to the striker, avoiding England's midfield.

This tactic has also worked.

In the 78th minute, the Iranian team took advantage of an opportunity to switch from defense to attack and hit directly to the back of England.

After receiving the ball, Golizadeh first shook off the clumsy Maguire and swept the ball down to the goal.

Striker Taremi flanked in front and stabbed with his toe to pull a goal back for Iran.

1:4！

Although the goal was not about the bigger picture, it also showed the problems that England exposed in defence.

This is still against the Iranian team, assuming that the opposite side is Portugal or France, I am afraid that the defense line has already been broken through.

Also, after becoming a three-midfielder, Maguire must not be easy to grab.

His ability to fight for the top and fight is an advantage, but the slow turn is an absolute disadvantage.

Look at the turn just now, it's like an aircraft carrier U-turn.

In the 85th minute, England made a substitution, with Dier replacing Maguire.

England, who had 78 per cent of the possession, scored a goal from Marcus Rashford in the 89th minute to make it 5-1.

England announced their first win of the World Cup with a big victory.

After the two matches on the first day of the World Cup, it will be time for the groups to compete.

The traditional powerhouses all came out victorious, with the exception of two.

Argentina lost 1:2 to Saudi Arabia,

Germany lost 1:2 to Japan.

Two football games were upset, and I don't know how many fans were sent to the rooftop.

England's next opponent is the United States.

Christian Pulisic, who plays for Chelsea, is the team's number one star.

An hour before the start of the game, the Netherlands were held to a draw by Ecuador in Group A, and it was uncertain whether they would finish top of the group.

This made the England team, which started the game late, a little embarrassed.

If they can beat the United States in this game, they will definitely finish first in the group and second in Group A.

Both the Netherlands and Ecuador could be second in the group.

No one wants to meet a strong team in 1/8 and consume it in advance.

This is also a major feature of the World Cup.

Some teams have to control points and avoid playing against traditional powerhouses.

Southgate has plans to do the same.

Wales drew with the United States in the first round, with both teams accumulating one point each.

Wales lost to Iran in the second round, and the situation was in crisis.

In the event of a draw, England will be able to control the game according to Group A.

The first place in the group is all virtual, and it is the king to be able to go to the end.

When Southgate communicated the "goal" of the game to everyone, everyone had mixed expressions.

Veteran players who have participated in the World Cup are not surprised by this situation.

Avoiding playing against strong teams in advance is an effective way to protect yourself.

But for players who are participating in the World Cup for the first time, playing "tacit ball" is a little difficult to accept in their hearts.

On the stage of the World Cup, strong dialogues and historical grievances are the eternal melody.

But those so-called grievances are actually enjoyable for fans.

As long as it's a team that has participated in the World Cup, who doesn't want to be given the green light all the way to the final?

In the match against the United States, Southgate's main purpose was to train the troops.

Throughout the first half, England were constantly passing the ball and guiding their feet, with few shots on goal, which was simply lethargic.

The U.S. team also knows in their own hearts, and since the other side is willing to send a draw, then accept it calmly.

Both sides had 55 per cent and 45 per cent possession in the first half.

Even in the first half, there were only five shots on goal, and only one shot was on target.

This is comparable data, which makes fans very dissatisfied.

England are the favourites to win the title, so how can they play back and forth with the United States?

Extreme fans have been spraying wildly in the live broadcast room, this is a "father-son game".

But in any case, as long as England draws in this game, no matter who wins Iran and the United States in the next round, as long as they draw or lose one goal, they can qualify second in the group.

The premise is to see the results of the Netherlands in the final round.

Although the game made the fans dissatisfied, Southgate's training purpose must still be adhered to.

Against Iran, Southgate noticed that his team was not fluent in the transition between attack and defence.

If you encounter a traditional strong team, the conversion efficiency of offense and defense directly affects the final score.

Then there's the defensive problem.

Maguire needs to be firmly rooted in the box so that he doesn't allow him to magnify his shortcomings.

In this way, the protection of the back is extremely important.

Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice are both balanced midfielders, who will be in charge?

The answer is Rice.

Rice is better than Bellingham in terms of defensive coverage, and he is in charge of the defence.

After minor adjustments, England has steadily improved their overall control.

In the 65th minute, a corner kick attack by the United States team was punched out by England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, and Rice at the edge of the penalty area sent the ball to the front.

A ball that seemed to be cleared was rubbed by Kane with his head and turned into an excellent counterattack.

Raheem Sterling flicked Kane's header and raced along the touchline, past two defenders before slotting the ball down the middle.

Rossi flanked in the middle, first gently picked the ball forward with the outside of his right foot, avoided the blockage of the defense, and quickly adjusted his body to shoot with his left foot.

Everyone was amazed at his ability to handle the ball in an instant.

The action is coherent and does not drag the mud and water in the slightest.

And when shooting, I still use my own backfoot.

The ball hit the post, bounced back, and was crushed under the goalkeeper of the American team.

This shot not only shocked the opponent's defense into a sweat, but even Southgate was terrified after watching it.

England were not only quicker in their offensive and defensive transitions, but also more efficient.

This is thanks to the presence of Rossi.

Usually after Harry Kane has dropped back, England's attack has rarely been consistent.

Raheem Sterling is still happy, while the rest of the young players lack the ability to make a final decision.

Only Marcus Rashford barely passed.

In such a situation, the presence of Rossi completely solved the problem of the end of England.

Okay, okay, it's time to replace it, otherwise I'll score again, but I won't be able to play anymore.

At this moment, Rossi's attack power has become Southgate's concern.

After Rossi went off, the two sides resumed lackluster passing.

In the end, England drew 0-0 with the United States and temporarily topped the group.
