Chapter 654: Advance strongly, the semi-finals are about to be rehearsed

"Congratulations on making the cut!"

Just as Rossi returned to his hotel room, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Sure enough, Pixie flew to Qatar immediately after he qualified for the group stage.

"How do you have the key to my room?" Rosie turned, picked her up, lifted her ass to her waist, and plunged headlong into it.

Pixie tilted her head and said proudly, "I told the waiter at the front desk that I was Mrs. Luo, and they opened the door for me!" ”

"My Pixie is also a face-to-face character."

"It's not like it's your light!"

"If you come early, you can have a free steak dinner!"

"That Internet celebrity shop is not delicious at all, so it's just a gimmick."

After that, Pixie wrapped her hands around Rossi's nose, spat fragrant mouth, and said, "No steak is as delicious as yours." ”

"Take a bath?"

"Take a bath!"

On the eve of England's match against Senegal, Raheem Sterling was robbed of his home in London and had to miss the World Cup and return home to take care of his family.

As the main striker of the England team, Sterling's absence has affected the team's forward strength to a certain extent.

But fortunately, in this World Cup, Southgate has brought a full 8 strikers, enough to form two kings.

As the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations champions, Senegal's quality should not be underestimated.

At the back, Chelsea centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly and Diallo are the main players in Paris.

The players in other positions are playing in Europe's top five leagues.

How to break through the opponent's impregnable defense is a problem for the England team to think about.

Three Lions vs African Lions.

Rossi continued to start, making it his third game in a row.

He is a forward partnership with Harry Kane and is England's most consistent goalscoring spot.

After the start of the game, the England team did not rush to attack, but patiently passed the ball and mastered the rhythm of the game.

However, Senegal are different from their opponents in the group stage, they are stronger overall, explosive and aggressive.

In the fifth minute, England's pass in midfield was intercepted by them and a through ball was handed to their striker Dia.

Maguire, who sits at the back, is inferior to his opponent in terms of physical flexibility, and he is a little embarrassed to defend.

Fortunately, Stones returned in time to destroy the ball at the moment of Dia's shot.

Senegal's aggression is not only in the front court, but also in the middle and back of the field, and their actions are still decisive.

In the 10th minute, Kane fell to the ground after being stepped on by Senegalese defender Sith when he retreated to get the ball.

When the referee blew for a defensive foul, Senegalese fans expressed their displeasure.

In their country, this level of pressing is the norm and the most commonplace.

In the opening stages, England wanted to control the game, but the opponent was very aggressive, frequently using fouls to disrupt the rhythm of the game.

And once Senegal is put on the offensive, it becomes extremely sharp.

In the first 20 minutes, Senegal had four shots on goal, two more than England.

Seeing the opponent's fierce attack, Southgate immediately adjusted, and Rossi retreated to help the ball and relieve the pressure of the midfielder to take the ball.

I have to say that Southgate has put a lot of effort into the use of Rossi.

This is completely a copy of Rossi's tactics with Benzema during the Real Madrid period.

Kane and Benzema have similar technical characteristics, copying Real Madrid's tactics, which is plug and play, and the effect is excellent.

In the 30th minute, Rossi dropped back on the left to pick up Bellingham's pass.

And the moment he received the ball, Luke Shaw, Bellingham and Harry Kane fired three arrows in unison, straight into the opponent's heart from the left.

It was precisely because of the forward insertion of the three that they took away the defense around Rossi, allowing him to have enough time and space to turn around calmly.

[Rosie takes the ball and turns around! ] 】

[The through ball is sent!] 】

[Kane catches the ball and goes inside!] 】

[Too many defenders around!] 】

[There's Henderson in the middle!] 】

[Pass it on!] 】

[Henderson shoots!] 】

[The ball went in!!! 】

[England leads 1:0!] 】

[The key to this goal is Rossi's passing! ] 】

[This alone is enough for young players to learn!] 】

England, under the pressure of the opposition, scored the first goal on the counter-attack and took the initiative of the game.

An hour earlier, France had seen off Robert Lewandowski with a 3-1 win over Poland, and France were England's next opponents.

But at the moment, everyone's focus is on winning the game in front of them.

After taking the lead, England's morale also improved, and they began to use the speed advantage on the flanks to attack the Senegalese defence.

Especially with the help of Rossi, the left side has become an important point of attack for England.

In the 45th minute, England's offensive struck again.

Bellingham sent a lethal through ball into the pack for Rossi on the left.

And Rossi was advancing at high speed, and the ball was passed directly in front of Harry Kane without stopping.

The amount of advance, the strength, the rotation, just right!

As a top scorer, Kane knew how comfortable this pass was the moment he touched the ball with his right foot.

He glanced up at the goalkeeper and mentally identified at least three angles of shot.

If you can't score this goal, simply quit the national team.

Harry Kane unloaded the ball in front of him, followed up with a few steps to adjust, and fired directly with his right foot.

How strong is Kane?

Just look at his footing and leave the turf after the shot to see how powerful the shot really is.

The ball whistled out and into the far corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper also made a save in the wrong direction and could only pound the ground desperately.

"The eye can see the near corner, but the target is the far corner, so the goalkeeper can't predict it."

That's what Rossi told him during training.

Interestingly, a few years ago, the football king Maradona said something similar to him.

It is also Maradona's guidance that Kane will grow into the Premier League Golden Boot.

No wonder Luo scored like a goal, it turns out that he will too.

Kane secretly admires the man who scored a hat-trick on White Hart Lane.

Is this a goalkeeper's nightmare?

This goal almost sealed England's victory.

The African Lions, of course, were not going to give up from two goals down and started making substitutions as they entered the second half.

They removed three midfielders and replaced them with two midfielders and a striker to strengthen the tempo of the attack.

But England, with two goals in hand, played more easily.

Just as Senegal was attacking in a big way, Henderson broke the ball and distributed it to Rossi on the left.

In the face of the full-back's defense, Rossi's feet delicately flicked the ball between his legs and used silky "croquettes" to get rid of the defense.

And the subsequent pass was accurately given to the outflanked Kane, assisting him to score twice.

England also sealed the win of the game.

[It's Rosie and Kane's connection again!] 】

[The England team is completely crazy! ] 】

【3:0!!! 】

[England once again showed his suffocating offensive efficiency!] 】

[This is a hearty victory! 】

[If this game maintains this score, then the next round of the game will be the early stage of this final!] 】

[The Anglo-French war is about to break out! ] 】
