Chapter 127: If the sky is loved, the sky will be old, see Hart...
"A beautiful shot!"
"He doesn't have to look up to see where his teammates are running!"
"Ling Feng almost dominated the midfield!"
"This young man reminds me of the world-class midfielders like Xavi and Andrea Pirlo, which is that they are very sensible with the ball! Not a little superfluous action! ”
As Sky Sports' chief commentator, Martin Taylor was a special guest commentator at the World Cup in Brazil.
This Yingge battle also invited him to explain passionately.
And from the very beginning of the competition, he did not hesitate to praise Ling Feng at all.
Anyway, the audience he faces with this live broadcast signal are all fans in the UK and his own family.
The more he praised his country's players, the more comfortable the audience became.
What's more, he didn't exaggerate, he just truthfully explained Ling Feng's outstanding performance on the field.
However, what Martin Taylor didn't know was not that Ling Feng didn't want to take two more steps, but that once he held the ball for more than a second, Colombia's defenders would come up directly and hit him with their bodies!
Sweep him with his legs!
In order to protect himself and create space for his teammates, Ling Feng shouted to Rooney, who was in front, to approach him and respond.
"Wayne, come back!"
"We can play two-by-one"
Hearing Ling Feng's shout, Rooney just nodded his head to show that he understood.
And such a small change quickly paid off!
In the 40th minute of the game, Colombia's encirclement of Ling Feng in the midfield failed, allowing him and Rooney to play a one-two collision with the wall to get space to pass.
Then, before the winger retreated to assist the defense, Ling Feng made a diagonal pass and passed the ball to the feet of Raheem Sterling on the right.
Sterling, who got the ball, immediately stepped on a special duck step and broke through along the wing!
A standard happy soup, after going down to the bottom line, Sterling made an inverted triangle return pass, looking for Ling Feng who was inserted in the back.
However, Colombian defender Sanchez followed closely behind Ling Feng, who did not dare to take the ball.
Just as the ball rolled towards him, Ling Feng suddenly had an idea, followed Pirlo's example, and opened his legs!
"Inverted triangle pass!"
"Ling Feng. Oh my God, he leaked the ball! ”
The ball slipped between his legs and came to the area just outside the arc of the penalty area.
At this time, the two backs had been taken away by Ling Feng, and Gerrard, who was inserted at high speed, was unmarked!
He was not polite, and shot directly at the ball!
"Gerrard !!"
The players on both sides around only heard a loud "bang", and the ball shot out with a strong wind-breaking sound, heading straight for the goal.
It's a pity that the angle is too right, Ospina directly meets the ball with both fists and rejects the ball.
The ball flew to the right, and the quick-reacting Sturridge tried to follow up with a follow-up shot, but was cleared by Colombian right-back Suniga to defuse the dangerous attack.
Even so, the English fans at the scene still gave their players warm applause.
"Ling's leak is wonderful!"
"It seems that this young man has a strong ability to learn, and this wave of side-to-center combination is exactly the same as the first goal scored by Italy in the first round!"
"It's a pity that Gerrard's long-range shot was too right."
Gerrard's powerful kick shot scared the Colombian fans in the stadium to tremble violently.
And Colombian coach Pekerman, who was on the sidelines, frowned.
Ling Feng's threat in the front court was too great, and he had to send someone to keep an eye on him.
However, Ling Feng is not the only one in the England team who can pose a threat to the goal!
Even if Ling Feng doesn't take the ball, he can attract the defense and create space for his teammates to shoot.
There were five or six minutes left before the end of the first half, and if there was one more goal in the first half, the game would not have been played.
Thinking of this, Pekerman did not hesitate for a moment, and shouted to the disciples on the field:
"Back to half-time!"
"Defend well!"
So, with a big wave of the head coach on the sidelines, Colombia once again contracted its defense and no longer pressed in the front court.
On the one hand, they pressed for more than ten minutes and also needed to take a breath;
On the other hand, they also realised that England's counter-attack was very threatening.
Once they press too hard, England can put them to death with a counterattack!
You know, in football, it is often more likely to score goals at the last moment when the second half is about to end.
That's because the players on the field will inevitably feel tired after maintaining their concentration for a long time.
Whenever I think that there are only a few minutes left before the half-time is over, I will inevitably feel a little lax in my heart.
And it's when the running becomes lazy, the defense becomes careless, and the opponent has a better chance of scoring goals!
Gerrard's long-range shot was a wake-up call for them.
Of course, it's not just the Colombian players who need to take a breather, but also the England players who have been pressed for 20 minutes.
In this way, under England's inverted foot possession, the little time left in the first half of the field was also consumed.
。。。
With the score leading, the atmosphere in the England dressing room was relatively relaxed.
"Great first half, guys! I'm very happy with your performance! ”
"However, the game is not over yet, don't let up!"
"Keep focused!"
After affirming and encouraging his disciple's performance, Hodgson immediately made a specific tactical arrangement:
"Ling, Wayne!"
"The number three on the other side is very slow and slow to turn, so we can play more behind us."
That number three is Colombia's captain and defensive leader Yepez.
Colombia's centre-back duo, with Zapata in charge of tackling and Yepes in charge of the back-up.
In the first half, it was Yepes's delay that allowed Rooney to successfully counter offside, receiving Ling Feng's crotch plug and facing the goalkeeper with a single knife.
So, this is definitely a weakness that opponents can exploit.
Colombia's two full-backs are fast enough to go up and down, and Sturridge and Sterling don't have a high success rate in breaking through.
And letting Rooney retreat and increase the coordinated attack in the middle with Ling Feng is Hodgson's tactical change in the second half.
Hearing this, Ling Feng and Rooney both nodded their heads to show their understanding.
It's something they've been doing in the second half of the first half, so they're no strangers to it.
Rooney pullbacks have two benefits.
It can not only pick up Ling Feng who is being targeted, but also bring out the faster central defender Zapata, and then insert behind another central defender, Yeppers, so as to achieve the purpose of threatening the goal.
Although the two did not spend much time on the field together.
However, the ball quotient of the top players is enough for them to reach a certain tacit understanding of their frequency and be able to understand each other's thoughts.
The first goal is enough to prove it!
After a short half-time break, players from both sides returned to the pitch again.
Colombia, who fell behind, took the lead in making substitutions, replacing Gutiérrez, who had been inactive in the first half, with Carlos Bacca, a goalscorer who played for Sevilla in La Liga.
At this time, the camera focused on Ling Feng, who walked slowly into the court with a calm face.
"Ling Feng's performance today is as steady as ever. The 19-year-old supernova from Premier League promoted Malecester City is using his quality to show the world that England have a future midfield maestro
After a while, the camera then finds the number ten in Columbia.
Compared with Ling Feng, Ronaldo is frowning, as if thinking about how to help the team survive this backward adversity.
The language of the lens is self-evident.
"Compared to Ling Feng, who delivered another lethal assist today, James Rodriguez, who killed all sides in the group stage, seems to be a little silent under the focus of Gerrard and Henderson."
"However, he is still the most dangerous player in Colombia's frontcourt. You can't let your guard down on him, or you'll definitely pay the price."
"Well, the referee's whistle blows, and the second half of England vs. Colombia begins!"
In the second half, Colombia kicked off.
After receiving a return pass from Baca, Ronaldo passed directly to Cuadrado on the right.
In this Colombian team, the strongest breaking point in the front court is definitely Cuadrado, nicknamed "Baoqiang".
Cuadrado, who plays for the "Purple Lily" in Serie A, is fast and has excellent skills at his feet, and is one of the best in Serie A.
In the first half, Colombia had several dangerous attacks, all of which came from his right flank.
His blasting cross from the right flank, combined with Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot, is also an attacking routine that Colombia relies on very much.
After getting the ball, Cuadrado looked at the left-back in front of him, Baines, and Gerrard, who came to help the defense, and did not hesitate to advance directly with the ball.
However, Baines is not a vegetarian either.
Although he is nearly thirty years old, his speed and confrontation still show no signs of declining.
In the face of Cuadrado's heads-up, he first stepped back sideways, waiting for Gerrard to come over to help defend.
Then, just as the opponent was about to start cooking soup, he seized the opportunity to jam himself and poke the ball out of the sideline.
Obviously, in this round of offensive and defensive battles, Baines has the upper hand.
However, in football, the offensive and defensive sides are not equal.
When attacking, the attacker can make mistakes.
However, the defenders can't afford to make mistakes!
If you make a mistake, it will be fatal!
Obviously, Colombia changed the strategy of the attack, playing more simply and directly and more aggressively.
The midfielder or full-back takes the ball and splits it directly on the right side.
And Ronaldo in the middle will also swim to the right side, and cooperate with Cuadrado to pass and attack the right side.
Gerrard was a little slower than Jordan Henderson, who was close to the left.
Therefore, the right side has become the direction of Colombia's main attack!
In the fifty-third minute of the game, Colombia attacked again on the right side!
"Baoqiang" advanced along the wing with the ball, but was defended by Gerrard and Baines.
Seeing that the space was getting smaller and smaller, Cuadrado shook his ankle and slid the ball from between Gerrard's legs to Ronaldo, who came from the middle.
And J Ronaldo directly did not stop the ball and passed a through ball forward.
"Beautiful pass!"
"Two over two!"
This wave of beautiful wall-hitting cooperation directly allowed Cuadrado to rush out of the encirclement and get the space to break through on the right side of the front court.
In front of him, Cuadrado dribbled the ball forward at high speed and went down
In desperation, Cahill could only come over immediately to make up for it.
No way, compared to Jagielka, his speed is a little faster.
But not much faster.
Cahill blocked Cuadrado's inside space, who looked up into the middle and fired a low ball straight away.
And Baka, who had just been replaced not long after playing, was desperately trying to grab the front point.
Fortunately, Jagielka, who was in the middle, reacted quickly and grabbed the ball before Baka in time to clear the ball forward.
With a "bang", the ball flew to the top of the midfield arc.
It just so happens that Ling Feng is waiting here!
However, before Ling Feng could stop the ball with his chest, the Colombian defender Aguilar, who was following him like him, rushed up from behind.
I saw him raise his hands and press on Ling Feng's shoulders, and at the same time as he didn't let the latter jump, he jumped high and pushed the ball back.
And the landing point of the ball happened to be J Ronaldo not far ahead!
Facing the ball flying towards him, Ronaldo first used his chest to cushion and turned around.
Then, when the ball fell into the air, he swung his left leg violently and came directly with a volley!
He didn't even observe the position of the goal and the goalkeeper before he shot and just shot straight at the goal.
With a "bang", the ball turned into a disemboweled cannonball and hung in the upper right corner of the goal.
Then, just as he was about to reach the goal, there was a sharp drop.
Even as Joe Hart tried to jump and make a save, he couldn't stop the ball from getting into the corner.
"Wow!"
"James Rodriguez!"
"What an amazing goal!"
"This goal is simply wonderful! It is entirely possible to be voted the best goal of this World Cup!! ”
Whether it was the tens of thousands of fans in the Maracanã stadium or the millions in front of the television, their jaws almost fell off when they were shocked by Ronaldo's shot.
Immediately afterward, the Colombian fans in the stands celebrated wildly, giving their warmest cheers for this wonderful goal and the team's equalizer!
In stark contrast, England fans invariably put their heads in their hands and looked incredulous.
At the same time, Ling Feng, who witnessed the whole process of scoring the goal, his eyes widened, and his heart couldn't help but be turbulent.
it!
This goal is very similar to the shocking world wave played by J Ronaldo in the knockout match between Colombia and Uruguay in the original history!
As soon as the chest stopped, he half-turned and volleyed!
Comparing the two goals in my mind, except for the difference between the opponent and the goalkeeper, all the details are almost the same!
Ling Feng didn't expect that his butterfly changed the fate of England's group exit, and also changed the fate of many people, but it failed to change Ronaldo's one-goal fame!
This Colombian national treasure still played this fairy ball that shocked the world in the quarterfinals!
However, when he saw Joe Hart standing in front of the goal with a helpless expression, his eyes blinked, and suddenly he felt that everything had become reasonable.
As the saying goes, the sky is also loved, and the sky is old, see Hartmund kick!
