Chapter 660: Southgate's Hard Requirements

[Valid, goal valid!] 】

[England team kills the game!] 】

[Rosie, it's Rosie again! 】

[In his handling of the single-knife ball, he combines calmness and chic, which is incomprehensible! ] 】

[After wasting a few shots in a row, is the French team finally going home?] 】

Inside the Gulf Stadium, the clamor of England fans has been going on for a long time.

With the score behind, Deschamps made a last-ditch fight, removing two defenders in a row, replacing two strikers, and bombarding the England goal.

But the situation has been forged, and even the defending champions can't change it.

Bellingham moved to central defence to partner Harry Maguire to protect the airspace.

Drip ~ Drip!!!

After the referee's whistle, the players and staff on the England bench rushed into the stadium as soon as possible.

[Congratulations to England for advancing to the top 4!] 】

[It's a good game! 】

[It can be said that it is the most exciting game in the World Cup so far, from technical tactics to player performance!] 】

[Rossi's appearance changed the direction of the game! 】

[Those remarks questioning Southgate are all self-defeating! 】

[England's opponent in the semi-finals will be produced between Portugal and Morocco!] 】

[Rossi and Ronaldo, can they bring another visual feast to fans? 】

【Stay tuned!】 】

David Beckham came to the pitch from the private room and hugged Rossi excitedly.

"Luo, well done, I knew you would be able to!"

This is the first time since bidding farewell to the national team that Beckham has been so moved.

They knocked out defending champions France and are the strongest team in England's semi-division.

After Brazil and France were eliminated one after another, if nothing else, this year's England is the team with the best hope of winning the long-awaited Hercules Cup.

"David, you're right!"

Southgate hugged Beckham excitedly, and a handful of tears rubbed Beckham's high-end suit.

'There's really someone like you who can change the game from set-pieces.'

"Luo's free kick is worth a billion!"

Xiaobei pushed him away with a smile and said, "Congratulations, the handsome position is stable." ”

Able to defeat the strong French team and lead the team to the last four of the World Cup, Southgate's managerial position can sit at least until the European Championship in two years' time.

After the celebration, Rossi exchanged ideas with his teammates Camavinga and Tchouameni at Real Madrid.

The eyes of the two were full of respect, and when they talked to Rosie, they were all respectful.

Interview time.

Rossi, who scored two goals and became the best player of the game, became the target of a media siege.

And the most discussed is the free kick that changed the normal game.

Rossi admitted in front of the media that he did get Beckham's true biography to shoot the perfect arc.

Finally, Rossi also joked about wearing a number of jerseys and doing a number of jobs.

After the game, an article about the inheritance of England's No. 7 instantly rushed to the hot search.

After David Beckham left the national team, England's No.7 changed hands repeatedly.

Neither Theo Walcott, Raheem Sterling, nor Jesse Lingard carried forward the England No. 7 shirt like Becky.

Prior to Rossi's selection in the national team, Manchester City's Jack Grealish wore the number 7 shirt for a while.

But when Rossi arrived, he took the initiative to give up the No. 7 shirt.

Because there is no more suitable person in the England team at the moment than Rossi.

Rosie also used his supernatural performance to tell everyone that he was worthy of this legendary number.

So far, Rossi has scored 4 goals in the first World Cup, ranking behind Messi and Mbappe, who have scored 5 goals.

Now that the French team is out, the only ones who can compete with Rossi for the Golden Boot are Messi and teammate Kane.

Two hours later, the match between Portugal and Morocco officially began.

After taking a shower, the England team gathered in the conference room of the hotel to watch the game while eating food.

This match will determine their opponents in the semi-finals.

In terms of fame, strength and number of stars, Portugal is far superior to Morocco on paper.

In terms of the value of the starters, Portugal's starting 11 totaled 462 million euros, which is much higher than Morocco's 144 million euros.

Morocco's path to qualification shows that they are by no means ordinary.

In the group stage, he was in the same group as Croatia, Belgium and Canada, and won the group with an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 1 draw.

He also eliminated Belgium, the former world No. 1, the European Red Devils.

In the 1/8 knockout round, they defeated the strong Spanish team and advanced to the top 8.

Now facing the Grape team in the post-Ronaldo era, who dares to say that they will lose?

The attacking group of European golden boy Felix, Benfica striker Gonzalo Ramos and Manchester United midfielder B-Fay attacked the Moroccan goal from the start of the game.

In the final round of the group stage, Portugal gave the Swiss team a 6:1 with its strong attacking power.

At the time, the media predicted the birth of a new golden generation in Portugal.

But Morocco built an impregnable wall in front of the goal with a united defence, unyielding willpower and strong cohesion.

And the new golden generation of Portugal, touted by the media, only lived for four days in front of the giant wall.

It is worth mentioning that Morocco have conceded the fewest goals of all the participating teams so far.

They have conceded just one goal in four games.

Their defense is a wall that keeps the opponent out of sight.

It's just too pure.

Portugal, on the other hand, had a total of 73% possession in the first half without Cristiano Ronaldo, with 6 shots on goal and only one on target.

Their offense is like a water cannon that can't nourish water.

In the first half, the two sides entered the halftime break with a score of 0:0.

At the start of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo came off the bench.

Portugal have increased their attacking threat after having the fulcrum to get the ball up front.

But Morocco's defense is still leaky.

"Belgium and Spain lost unjustly!"

After seeing Morocco's performance, England captain Kane let out a sigh full of admiration.

"Morocco's defense is indeed better than all teams, but it's a pity that the forward strength is lacking."

Southgate analyzes and makes bold assumptions.

"If Harry, Rashford, Rowe, the three of you can go to the Moroccan team, then the current score is not 0:0."

Although it is a joke, Rosie tastes a deep meaning from it.

"Soda, you mean, in the next game, the three of us will start?"

It was not difficult to see from Southgate's unsmiling expression that Rosie had guessed correctly.

Prior to this, Manchester City's Prince Foden had been the team's starting right winger.

His performance has been remarkable.

But once he was in the knockout rounds, Southgate had a fresh idea of his starting line-up.

Marcus Rashford, who is getting better and better, is in his starting line-up.

Although he does not have the one-on-one ability of Bukayo Saka on a 1v1, nor does he have Foden's excellent passing and receiving ability.

But consistent shooting accuracy is what Southgate values most.

In the game against the French team, the finishing ability of Saka and Foden was really miserable.

If it weren't for Rossi's "Full Moon Scimitar" to make up for his life, the England team would have been packing up their things and preparing to go home at this time.

Archery can be practiced slowly, but the World Cup waits for no one.

If the semi-final opponent is Morocco, then archery is Southgate's first and foremost requirement.
