"The ball is in!"

"Harry~~~Kane !!"

"The one who gave him the assist is still our No. 7 Ling Feng!"

Seeing Ling Feng send an assist, Pogba on the bench on the sidelines heard his teammate Diarra sigh on the side:

"I have to say, this wave of cooperation is beautiful! Especially the pass of that number seven, just right! ”

Hearing this, Pogba just twitched the corners of his mouth, and then said directly:

"Pediatrics, I can do it too!"

Although Ling Feng and Pogba are often compared.

However, there is not much similarity between the two in terms of playing style and characteristics.

Ling Feng's style of play is like De Bruyne plus Kaka.

He can be as dangerous and pass as Kevin De Bruyne and as fast as Kaka.

However, in general, he mainly uses the pass on the field to organize and string the team's attack, intersperse the ribs, and then look for the moment to deliver the lethal pass.

Only when the team can't open the situation or the opponent swings the bus and the passing space is too narrow, he will tear apart the opponent's defense through personal breakthroughs, so as to create opportunities for direct shots and balls.

Pogba, on the other hand, is more like a combination of Andrea Pirlo and Zidane.

The "Black Zidane" is tall and flexible.

He is very delicate with his feet and has a balanced left and right foot, and is able to make very dangerous passes.

The ability to protect the ball and get rid of it on the spot is fundamental, just like Zinedine Zidane.

The vision and the passing are like Pirlo.

Although compared to Ling Feng, Pogba does not have the speed to move forward with the ball.

Even after getting rid of the opponent, in the face of space, he will not advance with the ball, but choose to pass.

And on many occasions, Pogba's passing options are equally creative.

However, compared to Ling Feng, who prefers straight balls on the ground, he prefers long passes behind him.

This was clearly influenced by Pirlo.

The biggest difference between the two is that Pogba is more obsessed with his technique at his feet than his very crisp and lethal shots, and always likes to show off on the court.

If he's up front or on the wing, there's nothing wrong with showing it.

But most of his play is centre-back or midfield.

He takes the ball in his own hinterland, likes to show off when the opponent presses, and then uses his foot skills to complete the escape under the opponent's entanglement.

However, this set of actions will drag the mud and water, and it is very likely that the fighter will be delayed.

Even the opponent snatched the ball, and then launched a counterattack in the hinterland!

Therefore, he needs someone around to help him wipe his butt and then give him enough freedom to perform well.

He's like a performer on stage, and he's going to be the only protagonist in the spotlight.

From the point of view of responsibility and concentration, he is not suitable for playing in the back that needs to do dirty work, and can only play the attacking central midfielder.

From the perspective of tactical adaptability, Ling Feng is more plug-and-play, and does not need the team to give a core position, but also can give full play to his own characteristics and advantages.

What's more, his defensive enthusiasm is completely out of Pogba!

However, even if the style of play is different, the position is different.

But the biggest advantage of both men is that they have a wide field of vision, can catch fleeting fighters, and then deliver accurate passes.

See it and pass it on!

Ling Feng didn't even need to look up to observe, he was able to grasp his teammates' running positions at all times, and then send a pass.

Therefore, the two men with different styles are both considered potential candidates in today's football world to be the world's No. 1 midfielder in the future!

At the same time, seeing Kane score, the substitutes on the bench all stood up and applauded the team's goal.

Among them, Rooney also applauded and showed a heartfelt smile.

Then, as if he had thought of something, the smile on his face suddenly narrowed slightly.

In fact, this kind of ball (cake), he is also steady!

Immediately after, he looked at Vardy, who was celebrating with Ling Feng and Kane, with very envious eyes.

If he had a passing master like Ling Feng as a teammate in the club, and he fed every pass to his mouth, he would definitely score a lot of goals.

Thinking of this, Rooney couldn't help but pray in his heart:

If Ling Feng can join Manchester United, it would be great!

。。。

With Kane's goal, England took the lead at home.

And this did not slow down England's offensive at all, but became more and more violent!

"Go up!"

"Ali, run the empty seat!"

"Rahim, come here and get the ball!"

In Ling Feng's shouting, England's frontcourt players also worked very hard to intersperse the runs.

On the one hand, Ling Feng's tactical core position in the team, this kind of scene is not unfamiliar.

On the other hand, of course, it is rare to get a starting opportunity, and Jamie Vardy, Alli and even Dier are very excited, hoping to impress Hodgson on the sidelines with their performances on the field, so as to win more playing time at next year's European Championships.

In contrast, France, which has a large area of rotation in this game, has a general tacit understanding between the players, and there are occasional mistakes in passing and receiving cooperation.

As a result, in the wave of cheers and cheers of the home fans, England almost crushed France in half the field!

Such a scene also made Hodgson and the coaching staff on the sidelines shine.

It wasn't until the 38th minute that England once again crossed from the left side, and Vardy burst into the penalty area and completed a low shot to extend the score to 2-0!

In the end, with a short whistle from the referee, a perfect first half for England fans came to an end.

"Guys, you're doing a great job!"

Back in the dressing room, Hodgson first praised a wave of players before making a substitution:

Replace Vardy with captain Wayne Rooney and change the team's 4231 to 433!

Already with a two-goal lead, Hodgson plans to take the opportunity to practice the team's second tactic!

In fact, in the current Green Lions team, Rooney's position is very awkward.

In Hodgson's main set of 4231 tactical formations, Ling Feng's position as the core of the frontcourt organization is untouchable.

As long as he is not injured or in very bad condition, Ling Feng will serve as the team's starting forward.

With the rapid rise of Kane, the White Hart Lane shooter, known as the "new Shearer", basically occupies the main position of the center forward.

Compared with Kane, who is young and in hot form, Rooney, whose physical function has declined seriously and is in a sluggish competitive state, has no advantage at all.

Even as a central midfielder at Manchester United, Wayne Rooney has never been a number 10 player.

In terms of creativity and passing, vision and other abilities, Rooney is far inferior to Ling Feng!

Therefore, in the Three Lions, whether it is the center forward position or the forward position, Rooney cannot compete with Kane and Ling Feng.

The winger position, which requires speed and breakthrough, is even more impossible to play with his current speed and impact.

Therefore, how to arrange Rooney's position has been a headache for the coaching staff in the past few months.

And after Hodgson's lineup matching and observation with the head of the coaching staff, they finally came up with a good idea:

That's to let Rooney drop back and play at the back!

Because of playing in the back, Rooney can avoid his own shortcomings as much as possible, so as to play his ability to play long balls and shoot from behind.

It's like Gerrard who retreated all the way from the front to the back.

Partnering him with a midfielder with good defensive ability and a large coverage area can also ensure that the defense in the middle is not so fragile.

This is probably the most reasonable of all the options.

However, as the captain and leader of the national team, Wayne Rooney believes he still has gas in the tank and can create scoring opportunities for the team up front.

If you play in the midfield, you are too far away from the goal and the chances of scoring are too low.

As a result, he will not be able to continue to expand his national team goal record.

Rooney was naturally reluctant to accept such an arrangement.

And Hodgson was neither willing to let Kane and Ling Feng substitute, nor was he bold enough to directly take the team's top Rooney as the starter.

Therefore, he could only settle for the second best thing and prepared a second tactical formation that could allow Ling Feng, Kane, and Rooney to all start at the same time.

And Hodgson was inspired by Real Madrid's tactical formation and also adopted 433!

Ling Feng, Kane and Sterling, the three most outstanding British stars in England at the moment, form the front trident!

Kane is in the middle, Ling Feng on the left and Raheem Sterling on the right.

The key to this formation is to move Ling Feng to the left and play a backfoot winger.

With Ling Feng's first speed in the team, as a breaking point on the side, he can completely rely on his personal ability to tear apart the opponent's defense.

And in this set of tactics, Ling Feng's responsibilities in the Three Lions are equivalent to Real Madrid's Ronaldo!

Take the ball on the side and blast it, then cut inside to complete a lethal pass or go straight to the goal!

Coupled with Sterling, who can also blast on the right side, so that both wings can fly together!

Then let Rooney play a left midfielder, as a playmaker in the midfield, he can control the team's attacking tempo through long passes.

It can also be that in the case of Ling Feng pulling the side, he can frequently come to the middle, participate in the attack, and wait for the opportunity to insert and complete the shot.

Rooney was glad to accept this arrangement.

After all, he is also self-aware.

He knew that his physical condition was declining, and he was no longer the rampage of the little tank he had been.

To continue to gain a foothold at Manchester United and the Three Lions, he has to transform!

And he also knows very well that if the team wants to make a breakthrough or even a good result in the upcoming European Championship, the team must rely on talented young players such as Ling Feng, Kane, and Ali.

However, he hopes that he, as the captain and leader of the team, can help the team on the field, rather than just sitting on the bench and watching the likes of Ling Feng and Kane win.

In Rooney's opinion, it would be best if he could start and play side by side with excellent teammates such as Ling Feng and Kane.

And Hodgson's tactical formation and arrangement can just ensure this!

In the second half, as the team changed formations, Ling Feng moved to the left side, and the three people in the midfield also became parallel positions.

Dale, whose main task is to defend and intercept, is in the center, and with a slight delay, it is considered a back midfielder.

Rooney and Ali are separated from each other, and their roles belong to the left and right midfielders.

Although it seems that the midfield has changed from two midfielders to three midfielders, the number has increased.

However, the defense of the midfield is not as solid as the two midfielders of 4231.

Originally, the 433 formation had very high requirements for three midfielders.

Attacking and defending all of them, they must not only plug in and participate in the attack, but also return to defense and intercept.

Since Rooney and Alli both have a strong desire to attack, they will press the attack a lot of the time.

After the two pressed up, the midfield was too empty.

Once the front court was tackled and the opponent launched a quick counter-attack, Rooney and Ali could not return to defend at the first time, and England's midfielder was left with only Dier as a midfielder to protect the back line.

At that time, the whole midfield will be lost!

And Deschamps, who was on the sidelines, after observing for a few minutes, quickly discovered the key problem with this formation.

Substitutions were made immediately!

Matuidi was brought on for Pogba, who was more capable of playing the ball and propulsively, and Anthony Martial was replaced by Anthony Griezmann, who was excellent off the ball and on the ball.

And these two substitutions were immediate!

Just ten minutes later, France seized a chance to counter-attack:

First, French left-back Digne made a steal on Raheem Sterling at the back and passed the ball to Pogba in the middle at the first time.

Pogba, who had the ball with his back, and with a dashing Marseille maneuver, he passed Rooney very easily.

At this moment, with a huge midfield, England only has one player left.

When Deer hesitated whether to continue to retreat or grab, Pogba took the lead in making a reasonable decision!

Instead of advancing with the ball, he looked up to see the movement of his team-mate in front of him, and without hesitation, he sent a long, ecstatic overhead pass to Kingsley Koeman, who was cutting in at high speed on the right.

The latter accelerated the soup, cut in from behind England left-back Gibbs, stopped the ball steadily, and then went directly to the bottom of the triangle to cross the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Griezmann, who had just come on as a substitute for a short time, completed the outflanking, swung his leg and swept the ball into Bertrand's goal!

The whole counterattack process was smooth and directly penetrated the entire midfield of England!

And after completing the assist, Pogba put on a nonchalant look, just spread his hands.

He also deliberately glanced at Ling Feng from the left side of the defense to near the midline, and then raised his chin contemptuously at him.

Seeing this, Ling Feng only raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly with an imperceptible sneer,

Like Pogba, he also looks down on this famous "team cancer" and "giant baby" in football

is also a representative figure of "world-class below the brain", Ba Shen is much cuter than Boba

Ba Shen just has no brains, and people are not bad.

But Pogba just has too many eyes, too bad!

What backstabbing the head coach、Ask the wizard to curse teammates

You can step on a horse!

What are you pretending to be in front of me?!

Thinking of this, Ling Feng decided to give him some color and take a look!

A few minutes later, Raheem Sterling's cross to Kane was misdirected by Raphael Varane and found his way to the feet of French midfielder Cabaye.

The latter looked up and did not hesitate to hand the ball to Pogba in front of him before Rooney pounced on him.

Pogba gets the ball in midfield again!

Fortunately, Ali, who was not far away, immediately stepped forward to interfere and prevent him from going out smoothly.

However, in front of Pogba, who is tall and long-legged, the fledgling Ali is obviously not enough.

Just when the Juventus golden boy used his long legs and foot skills to get rid of Ali's entanglement, looked up and observed, and was about to pass the ball, a sudden change occurred!

A white figure flew past him!

In an instant, Pogba's black face suddenly flashed with surprise, "What?!" ”

Before he could react, the man stretched out his leg and stabbed it, and the ball under his feet was cleanly broken!

Pogba could only watch as he completed his turn and then advanced quickly with the ball.

It was only at this time that he could see clearly that behind this white figure, there was a big "7" number printed on it!
