Chapter 232: Something Seems to Be Missing in This World!

The "Lower Saxony Stadium" can accommodate a small number of fans, but the whole atmosphere is indeed much stronger than that of the stadium complex.

The Macau players were already in high spirits, and after they came out, they looked at the golden waves of people in the two stands that rose and fell like waves, and their blood was also churning.

But unlike the uncontrollable excitement of the first game, the Macau players who played in the three group games have adapted to the emotional ups and downs brought by this kind of big scene.

Especially in the days before the game, the non-stop decompression and tactical killing, how do you feel that the English players are a little more nervous after the game?

"Central People's Radio, CCTV, listeners and friends......"

But when it comes to nervousness, CCTV's commentary is really a little nervous.

From the introduction of the lineups of the two teams, you can clearly feel that the two commentators and guests have an overly excited mood.

It's no wonder that they are excited, there are too many World Cup knockout rounds that the big guys have commentated, and even the finals have been more than once.

At that time, they were not particularly nervous, because the two sides on the field had nothing to do with China, and no matter how fierce the game was, it was just a spectator for them.

Therefore, at that time, there was neutrality to be neutral, to be neutral with passion, and to be professional or neutral!

But now it's different, and one of the teams in such a high-profile competition is its own team.

This is just like when CCTV was commenting on the 110-meter hurdles at this time, if it wasn't for the fast time of the game, they would definitely be like the later commentary on Sun Yang's game - I just finished reporting the entry list, just concentrate on cheering for my own players, and it is impossible to be neutral.

At this time, on the court, the players of both teams have already finished taking pictures and began to greet each other.

At this time, the attitude of the two sides seemed to be quite friendly, especially when Zhang Desheng shook hands with the other party, and every English player had a little flattered expression on his face, which was a very interesting detail.

England starting XI -

Frontcourt: Crouch (85, 1981, 201cm)

Midfielders: Joe Cole (88, 1981, 175cm), Frank Lampard (87, 1978, 183cm), Hargreaves (87, 1981, 180cm), Steven Gerrard (89, 1980, 183cm), David Beckham (86, 1975, 183cm)

Back: Ashley Cole (86, 1980, 172cm), John Terry (88, 1980, 187cm), Rio Ferdinand (88, 1978, 189cm), Neville (87, 1975, 180cm)

Goalkeeper: Robinson (86, 1979, 193cm)

England's lineup is theoretically very reasonable, not only balanced in attack and defense, but also star-studded in the backfield and midfield, and most of them are in their prime, and the worst ones are veterans like Xiaobei and Neville who can still shake at the end, and on the whole, the quality of goalkeepers and center forwards is not very good.

But the problem is that theory is theory, Shuangde is a superstar who has broken through the 9 series in their respective clubs, but when it comes to the national team, Gerrard still has the strength of the 8 series, but Lampard's combat power has fallen directly to 87.

In addition, Ashley Cole, who is considered by the British media to be one of the world's top three left-backs, has not played a few games at all due to a major injury last season, which will be as worrying as Rooney's form.

In this bracket, Ashley Cole may not be able to rank in the top three left-backs in the world, even if he is only in the British four.

The most outrageous thing is that the Englishman really played in a 4-1-4-1 formation today.

Hargreaves is effectively a lagging single midfielder, and his presence is to release the duo to play in the most suitable central midfield position at the same time, and his tactical intent is clear: to free up Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard with the defensive ability of the single midfielder, so that they can focus on playmaking and attacking.

But here's the problem: whenever the Englishmen try to get both Germans to play in what they do best, the end result is not good.

So theoretically, the Macau team really doesn't have a chance to continue to upset in the knockout round!

At this time, on the big screen at the scene, the starting lineup of the Macao team was also played-

Forecourt: Li Xiaobo (86, 1984, 188cm)

Midfielders: Wang Zhen (80, 1986, 180cm), Shen Yi (84, 1984, 180cm), Zhang Desheng (97, 1985, 183cm), Tu Guangtai (84, 1984, 183cm), Li Wei (81, 1985, 174cm).

Back: Yang Feng (81, 1985, 181 cm), Ma Zhenguo (84, 1985, 180 cm), Niu Zhanshan (84, 1983, 192 cm), Zhu Biao (83, 1986, 185 cm)

Goalkeeper: Kong Xiaochuan (85, 1984, 189cm)

Instead of playing a balanced 4-4-2 formation or a 4-3-3 possession formation, the Macau team continued to put Zhang Gongzi in the front midfield and played a 4-5-1 formation that was more defensive and counter-attacking.

This is also a big change, but it is not surprising, because the teams like to change their formations in the knockout rounds to catch their opponents off guard.

Of course, some of these changes have achieved the desired effect, but there are also people who have lost themselves.

However, the Macau players have been tempered in the group stage in terms of combat power, and they are indeed much better than before the start of the World Cup.

At this time, there are several players in the team who are attacking the middle of the 8th series, and many of them are close to breaking through with one kick.

"This team is really young and terrifying!"

The most amazing thing about the British commentary is the age of the Macau players, because there are as many as six young players born in '85 and '86 alone, and the oldest of them is only 23 years old.

Such a unique youth army in the World Cup is really unprecedented, and it is estimated that it will never come again.

"Did you find it, although our players are young, they are not lost to the other side in terms of height and dimension!"

"That's right, not only is the height and weight not inferior to them, but our players run and move, and the overall sense of rhythm and coordination is also very consistent with these opponents."

"Hehe, when the first team was four years ago, it was different."

"Yes, at that time, when our players took the ball, they were either very uncoordinated when they looked at it, and their movements were always slow, and the whole court was very tight; Either it feels like the speed comes together, our players are passively chasing the ball, not running with the ball, even if no one puts pressure on them, it looks like they are going to lose the ball at any time; The most dish is that both offensive and defensive ends are like headless flies.,It's always passive to hit wherever it is.,Anyway, you know that there's no future when you look at the painting style! ”

“……”

At this time, even if the Chinese fans don't know much about football, they can really see that the Macau players are really different from the first team four years ago, and they look comfortable everywhere.

"These bastards aren't that good!"

After Zhang Desheng greeted the English players one by one, he actually did not underestimate the other side.

At this time, the British players were also different from the tall, tall and strong physique of their predecessors.

This is also a kind of progress in modern football, that is, the pursuit of speed and explosiveness, as well as enough agility, while ensuring physical confrontation.

This also makes the current players' body proportions more harmonious, but it is also really more difficult to deal with than simply being tall and strong, because it is more suitable for the new trend under the new rules!

If it weren't for the fact that Shuangde is really incompatible, this England team will be much more powerful than the current Shuangde if it chooses one of the two.

But there is an embarrassing problem for the Macau team: If the England team can't solve the contradiction between the two Germanys, can't it abuse the dishes?

Strictly speaking, the Macau team is the kind of vegetable team that the England team is best at dealing with!

In this regard, the Macau team itself also has a very clear understanding, so it will kill the opponent in a low-key manner before the game!

But after the game started, the impact shown by the English players was still too unfriendly to a team like Macau!

Less than a minute into the first half, Joe Cole, who was in perfect form, launched a wave of attacks down the left.

Last season's Joe Cole, under Jose Mourinho, can be said to have finally played the best season of his career, and even Robben often sat on the bench after recovering from injury.

Levi's defense is equal to air to him, but even if Zhu Biao came up in time to attack, he still stumbled to complete the breakthrough.

Joe Cole has been hailed by the English media as one of the best technical wingers, but in fact, his skills at his feet are not at the top, and he can be said to be a whole notch behind Ribery.

But his explosiveness will be at its peak, and as long as the defensive pressure is not so impermeable, Joe Cole's roughness will not be visible.

At this time, I saw that Shuangde had rushed to the penalty area to prepare to respond, and with the height of Crouch, who had a glimpse of the mountains, the entire penalty area of the Macau team suddenly became noisy.

Soon, Joe Cole confidently got rid of Zhu Biao with explosiveness, and rushed all the way to the left side of the penalty area and passed a low flat ball.

Kong Xiaochuan is also confident today, he has been trained in the group stage, and his form is starting to enter his peak at this time, and he actually shoveled the ball out before the outflanking Frank Lampard.

"This attack, confident and decisive!"

Zhang Desheng's heart was pounding in the back!

He is not very nervous when he is alone, but whenever he sees the opponent attacking his own penalty area, he can't help but beat his heart violently, which may be the difference between watching and playing!

Niu Zhanshan got the ball blocked by Kong Xiaochuan and quickly kicked it out of bounds.

After England served, they attacked the Macau team again.

This time, the football was transferred to Gerrard's feet, and then the captain of the Reds was seen striding away from the slaughter platform, and then he raised his leg and shot with a small range of movements, and directly hit a boccia ball aimed at the dead corner.

This "English-style dry pull", which does not treat the Macao team as dry food, is indeed full of violent aesthetic style, and Kong Xiaochuan's hard work still failed to reach football.

But the scene soon resounded with the sighs of regret from England fans as the football grazed the right post and rolled off the line.

Just over a minute into the first half, the Macau team was threatened twice in a row, and to be honest, it really felt like being taken in the head!

At this time, we have to thank Tunisia, because of this kind of start, the African buddies have played in the group stage, and the Macau team already has some antibodies.

Two minutes later, Macau also had a chance to launch a counter-attack.

After Zhang Desheng managed to get rid of Hargreaves' entanglement near the center circle and get the football, Gerrard, who was close to him, immediately ran over.

That's England's defensive strategy against him – Hargreaves will be with him throughout the game, and as soon as Zhang gets into either of the German defence's defensive zone, the latter will have to step up and pack the ball immediately.

So strictly speaking, today's England should maintain a double defense against Zhang Desheng when defending, and as long as one person is nearby to participate in the pack, then the other person will automatically enter the attacking position, which is also a method that makes Shuangde as compatible as possible.

Zhang Desheng saw Gerrard rushing over, so he naturally immediately sent the ball to his teammates.

Shen Yi took two steps after receiving the ball, and then a long pass hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

Li Xiaobo knocked the ball back to Wang Zhen on the line of the penalty area, who saw that his teammates were being watched very closely on the left side of the penalty area, and there was no chance to pass the ball for a while, and he simply pumped a cold shot into the far corner.

Wang Zhen's ball is a high corner on the right side of the goal, and most young players like to play this position.

But for a top goalkeeper, playing in such a position is actually more defensive.

Robinson is not a top goalkeeper in the first echelon, but he is not too good to be England's goalkeeper, at least he is a good goalkeeper.

Therefore, although Wang Zhen's shot angle is good and his strength is not bad, his action range before shooting is a little large.

To put it bluntly, the shot was too long, giving Robinson time to make a flying save, and he did make a very high-quality goalmouth save in the end.

"Ordinary players and low-level superstars, it's really not a little bit worse!"

Zhang Gongzi secretly regretted in his heart, it was very likely that he would have this ball for him to play.

But compared with Gerrard's shot just now, the gap is indeed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, if compared with the strikers of the first team, Wang Zhen's high-quality shot against the England team has definitely been crushed.

The Chinese fans at the scene also applauded and cheered for Wang Zhen, because in their opinion, this shot was already very strong, just a little bit!

But the problem is that because of this, Robinson's combat power is +1 directly after completing the divine pounce.

This also made him play a super level of prediction that he is usually not good at, and actually took the ball off Zhang Desheng's head in the subsequent corner.

And this pick made his combat power +1 again, because this was a head-on defeat of Zhang Gongzi!

"That's not good!"

Zhang Desheng was naturally very depressed, he already felt the rhythm of this game, and it seemed that he was not on their side?

His feeling is right, the Englishman's attack today is very unrestrained, just two words: Ganla!

The ferocity of Shuangde + Joe Cole rushing up is simply more brutal than they expected!

Now it seems that this England team can fight Portugal at its peak to the penalty shootout, even if there are some flaws in the lineup and tactics, the Macau team does not seem to be able to use it?

These things are pure speed + the impact of confrontation, usually watching the video and watching the live broadcast can't imagine the real power, at this time, only by standing in person in the face of being rushed, will you know how difficult it will be to break through such a simple and direct violent breakthrough!

In the fifth minute of the first half, this time it was not so delicate technically, but the big stride was a dry pull that allowed your head to keep up, but your body was a beat slower.

In the end, Frank Lampard quickly started in the middle, and after directly getting rid of Shen Yi, who had a clear disadvantage in speed, he collided head-on with Tuguangtai, who rushed to make up for the defense.

Tu Guangtai can't say that his performance in the World Cup this time is very bad, but in the face of this kind of opponent who can suppress himself with his body, he seems to be very passive in both single defense and assistant defense

It's the same with Frank Lampard this time, everyone is rushing up, even if he doesn't lose his position, but unless he fouls, he can only be eaten hard.

In the end, it was Ma Zhenguo who joined forces with him to force Lampard to pass the ball in the penalty area.

At this time, Beckham, who was already very cunning, just got rid of Yang Feng to get the pass, and then smashed a diagonal pass with Beckham's arc directly to the head of Crouch in the penalty area.

Niu Zhanshan scolded his mother in his heart, he was originally the Chinese defender who was the best at defending high school forwards.

But this tall Crouch is too flexible, and he can't keep up with the opponent's movement.

This time, he was easily received by the opponent and directly completed the header in the penalty area.

If it weren't for the weakness of Crouch's ball against the gate and was easily confiscated by Kong Xiaochuan in front of the goal, he would have become a sinner.

"This kid doesn't have any confrontation, give him more pressure!"

Kong Xiaochuan encouraged Niu Zhanshan, and if domestic fans heard this, they would probably be very moved - when will it be their turn to complain about the physical confrontation of players from such top teams?

However, Macau had just caught their breath and two minutes later the Englishman was back again.

This time it was the average state Ashley Cole who stepped in from the back to attack, and after Joe Cole took the initiative to give up his position, the Macau team's defense really couldn't divide too many manpower, and finally let Black Cole go all the way to the penalty area and pick the ball in front of the goal.

At this time, Lampard, under the interference of Ma Zhenguo and Tu Guangtai, especially under the initiative of Kong Xiaochuan, kicked a Chinese-style anti-aircraft gun to make the Macau team roll back on the critical line of conceding the goal.

This also made the Macau players who were constantly threatened with the goal a little depressed, they secretly practiced for several days, and all kinds of paper talk did study England thoroughly, and even predicted the opponent's lineup and formation.

But the problem is that when it comes to actual combat, the opponent will use a simple and unpretentious British dry pull, and directly hit them to break their defenses - this first move, they can't prevent it!?

"Made, just set up the iron bucket formation!"

Zhang Desheng saw that there was no movement on the head coach's side at this time, so he could only give orders for everyone to shrink back and defend first.

England's attack was obviously difficult to deal with before the game, and the Macau team would struggle to withstand the opponent's onslaught, so how could they have the strength to attack!

They really have to go up to the attack, and it is estimated that they will really lose the ball at the beginning.

At this time, the situation is stronger than people, and they can only bow their heads and defend first!

At this point, England actually had a big killer that could break down Macau's dense defence, and that was David Beckham's curling pass from Beckham, as well as set-pieces up front.

The Macau team did take precautions before the game, but it was still the same sentence - many things, not that you can cope with them if you are prepared.

It's like they studied and prepared before the game, but they were still pulled into a storm as soon as they came up, so what else is there to say?

The Macau team has been holding on since then, except for Zhang Desheng's counterattack that will give the Chinese fans a boost, they are actually being pressed and beaten by the England team.

This is not only a physical and technical gap, but also slowly suppressed in momentum.

But there's no way to crack it, your body and technology, including the experience of the competition, are not as good as others, so it's no wonder if you don't get pressed.

In the 12th minute of the first half, the Macau team completed the second shot of the game.

Zhang Desheng relied on his reaction to cut off England's pass when he was involved in defense at the back, and directly turned around and launched a counterattack that made England break out in a cold sweat.

But it's a pity that Zhang Desheng, who passed two levels in a row, was still destroyed by Neville, who came to waste people.

This is also the last move of the Englishman on the defensive end - once he encounters the danger of being singled out if he can't prevent it, he will directly show the spikes and kick them to the knee!

Zhang Desheng naturally wouldn't bet his entire career for a single knife, and when he saw this, he hurriedly abandoned the ball and dodged the knee shovel!

Today's South African referee did not target them, and decisively gave Neville, who raised his leg and showed nails, a yellow card!

To be honest, it's still a bit of a loss!

This kind of action to give a red card to a waste person is not too harsh!

But even if this kind of thing is replaced by the American team, it may not be able to change from yellow to red!

And once it becomes the Macau team, it will definitely turn from red to yellow!

In the end, this free kick 35 meters away from the goal, Zhang Desheng thought about it again and again and chose to pass.

However, Niu Zhanshan and Zhu Biao did not dare to come up to participate in the attack, and England's air defense was extremely strong, and Li Xiaobo directly pushed the ball out of the bottom line under interference.

After England avoided a tactical yellow card, they slowed down and attacked again.

They can also see that this kind of onslaught will certainly give Macau a chance to counterattack.

But if they really play a positional battle with the Macau team, they will not be able to play many of their advantages.

The Macau team was under the stubborn defense, and the offensive end naturally became struggling.

Thiago didn't start today, and Zhang Desheng was the only one who could help Li Xiaobo up front.

Levi's goods are very good at abusing vegetables in Asia, but he is a waste against the top teams!

Wang Zhen actually took on more defensive tasks, and they didn't have that many troops to use for attacking.

This also makes Zhang Desheng often have to face the encirclement of several people when counterattacking, as well as various insidious actions to greet his legs.

If it was the kind of counter-attack that was about to hit the hinterland just now, the Englishman would have fought hard to keep him with another yellow card.

Zhang Desheng naturally felt very aggrieved, on the one hand, there was no real helper to share the pressure, and on the other hand, he secretly hated the opponent's killing tactics, although shameless, but it was a really effective way to defend him.

Therefore, at this time, the Macau team must adhere to the tactics of playing turtle and shrink and patiently wait for the opportunity for the opponent to make mistakes.

If the opponent doesn't make mistakes and keeps playing so pressing.

Then he had no choice but to try to hold on until 0:0 to the end of regular time, and then hold on to the penalty shootout.

If you can find an opportunity to make the other party turn two yellows and one red, then there may be variables.

But the English players obviously don't want to drag it out until the big end, they can't even afford it!

If they were really defended to a 0:0 by the Macau team in the first half, they might not dare to attack so fiercely in the second half, because once the opponent used the counterattack to sneak attack, they may not have a chance to come back.

Therefore, it is a good idea for the Macau team to choose to defend to the death, because the more Zhang Desheng's counterattack is dragged behind, the more scary it actually is!

In the 15th minute of the first half, Lampard's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was slightly off the goal again, scaring Chinese fans into a cold sweat!

But before the cold sweat had evaporated, England were only two minutes away from attacking the Macau penalty area again.

This time, Crouch's shot hit the anti-aircraft gun directly, which caused a burst of panicked Chinese fans to shout!

The Macau team then tried to make a reactionary attack, but was stopped before it could reach the opponent's hinterland.

"Let's resolutely defend it, and we won't go out to fight if we don't have a good chance!"

Zhang Desheng shouted loudly to his teammates, there shouldn't be too many fluke thoughts at this time, and you must not rush forward if you don't have a good opportunity!

This kind of turtle tactic did not give the English a good solution, and they could only continue to attack in the hope of a miracle that would break the Macau team's turtle shell defense in one fell swoop.

In the 21st minute of the first half, this time Gerrard cut in from the middle to receive a precise ball from David Beckham, and then was knocked down by Tu Guangtai when he tried to stride forward.

"I didn't kick him!"

Tu Guangtai was really wronged this time, because he really didn't kick Gerrard, this is definitely a diving incident!

But the protest is ineffective, who made this Red Army captain a brave and honest character in the eyes of the outside world, your son-in-law is the one who likes to fake falls the most!

The referee didn't know if he was affected by Gerrard's positive personality, completely ignored the protests of the Macau players, and directly gave a frontal free kick 28 meters away from the goal.

At this time, Chinese fans feel bad, because 20-30 meters in front of the goal is a very threatening distance of the Pei arc, and the ball is almost facing the goal, which is very suitable for direct hitting.

Macau players are also nervous, Pei's arc is famous in the rivers and lakes, which is one of the magic skills that can be compared with Zhang Gongzi's "elevator ball".

"Keep an eye on the man in the box and watch out for his passes!"

At this time, Kong Xiaochuan and Ma Zhenguo were both directing their team-mates to stand, and even Zhang Desheng was assigned defensive duties, and he only needed to keep an eye on Frank Lampard in the box.

At this moment, Beckham, the only one who can compete with Zhang Gongzi in free kicks and appearance, naturally walked to the front of the football with a solemn face, and then began to take deep breaths to adjust before the free throw.

"Made, how do I feel like I'm going to pass the ball?"

Zhang Desheng stared at Frank Lampard while also paying attention to Beckham's movements.

If the ball had been penalized, then he would have opted for a direct shot.

But Beckham probably can't withstand that much pressure, so he can't choose to pass the ball?

Zhang Desheng is a little underestimated, how hard Beckham will fight for the title!

If he can't score directly in a game like this to help England win, then how can he be qualified to fight for the knighthood?

So after pretending to be forced for a long time, Beckham directly chose to shoot.

At this time, I have to say that the "Beckham arc" is indeed unique, only to see Beckham twist his body with all his strength, so that he is fully inclined to the posture, in exchange for a significant increase in the speed of the ball's internal spin!

This rapid internal rotation makes the ball not only fly extremely fast, but also draw a very large arc in the air, but the most lethal thing is that the ball can often be seen in the second half of the flight, and there will be a significant secondary acceleration.

So when fans watch the replay, they will always feel why the goalkeeper often judges the right direction, but in the end he will always be half a beat slower and unable to complete the save?

That's why, because soccer balls always fly faster than you think!

The most unfortunate thing is that Beckham's shot is of extremely high quality, Kong Xiaochuan has judged the right direction and landing point, but the speed of the football is too fast.

He was halfway through his flying save when the spinning ball hit the side netting inside the goal!

"The ball is in!"

"In the 22nd minute of the first half, Mr. Heartthrob from England and England's number one free-kick expert - David Beckham!"

"He used his unique Baess arc to easily send the ball into the net according to the teaching method of the textbook!"

"We remember in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, David Beckham saved England with his free-kick in the last minute!"

"Now, in the 2006 quarter-final, he gave England the lead again with a free-kick!"

"The biggest dark horses of this World Cup, the Macau team, this time under the banner of the English, can the night come again?"

“……”

The on-site commentary is a bit yin and yang, doesn't this obviously put the Macau team in the position of villains?

What's the matter, the emotion is that the England team wins the game, and the Macau team wins the game is the darkness falls?

But for the current Macau team, the top priority now is not to dwell on the scene to explain the yin and yang weirdness, but to think quickly: what to do now?

But to be honest, even Zhang Desheng felt that this would be difficult to do.

If you continue to hold on, it seems that you are the lagging side?

But if they do, the risk of them conceding again increases!

"Made, I didn't expect to be broken by him!"

Zhang Desheng couldn't help but look at Beckham, who was not very strong in the World Cup, if England didn't have this free kick killer, it would really be difficult to break their iron bucket formation!

Shuangde + Crouch, even if you count Joe Cole and Rooney on the bench, these people are really likely to be scoreless under their dense defense, and in the end, they can't score a goal if they shoot more than twenty or thirty feet!

But now that Beckham has broken through the defense with a free-kick so early, it will be really difficult for them to play next!

Zhang Desheng didn't have any good ideas at this time, they could only continue to hold on for a while, and they must first eliminate the depression of conceding the goal, and it was best to raise the state before attacking.

After the restart of the game, England's offensive is naturally not as fierce as before, which will lead the Macau team to play the most efficient counterattack after attacking, they are not stupid at all!

The Macau team, centered on Zhang Gongzi, began to try to compete with England in midfield.

At this time, the most eye-catching is naturally Zhang Desheng, who keeps playing one-to-many, but can still firmly control the ball at his feet in the scramble.

But his breakthroughs have become fewer, and he tries his best to cooperate with his teammates.

This is to use himself, the first person in the world, to forcibly connect the team, and it is also to forcibly drive his teammates to improve their state.

Macau also slowly followed the rhythm of their boss to increase their passing and receiving speed, and gradually began to play some quick passing combinations, and began to threaten England's equally lackluster defence.

However, the better the Macau team plays on the offensive end, the more pressure they will put on the defensive end.

England's tactics have shifted to a quick counter-attack, which is the most reasonable option after taking a 1-0 lead!

At this time, the Macau team still can't really achieve a balance between offense and defense when facing the world's strongest teams, to put it bluntly, the attack power will be greatly reduced when defending, and the defensive intensity will be reduced when attacking.

It's mainly because of their athleticism and tactical awareness that they can't keep up with the current level of competition, and despite the fact that they've all been in Europe for several years, their opponents have grown up in the most competitive environments.

Therefore, once the strength of the opponent is raised, the players of this vote have a gap in talent and accumulation after all.

In the 30th minute of the first half, after Zhang Gongzi led his teammates to launch a wonderful attack, England's quick counterattack was killed in a blink of an eye.

This time England's attack consisted of a counter-attacking arrow consisting of Twin Virtue + Crouch, supplemented by follow-up David Beckham and Joe Cole.

Macau's overall comeback was not slow, but England counter-attacked faster than Spain in the group stage.

But when it comes to "fast", Zhang Desheng gave full play to his most violent speed in the whole field at this time, and actually forced a sprint of 50 meters to catch up with Gerrard, who was nearly 10 meters ahead of him at the start.

This speed even England fans are a little scared, such a distance can recover such a big disadvantage, this Chinese should go to practice 100 meters!

But after all, the football pitch is not the solution to the problem of running fast, and once Gerrard was overtaken, Lampard automatically became the attacking arrow, receiving a ball from Joe Cole on the edge of the box.

Macau's defenders were almost in position at this point, and after Frank Lampard's unsuccessful attempt to burst into the box, he turned to the right to split the ball.

At this time, Beckham, who was let go by tactics, received a pass in the empty space outside the big penalty area on the right side, and then waited until his teammates ran back in the penalty area and left the offside position, he unhurriedly buckled Shen Yi, who rushed to his defense, and sent the ball to the penalty area obliquely.

This pass is also in the style of Pei, only to see the football spin in the air at high speed, flying extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it drew an inverted C-shaped arc and flew into the penalty area.

This time, Kong Xiaochuan couldn't attack at all, because this kind of pass was too difficult to predict the flight trajectory and landing point.

Zhang Desheng can only follow Gerrard's side, and the only good news now is that there are still more Macau players in the penalty area.

However, when Crouch flew from outside the box and jumped high, Niu Zhanshan, who was also unable to predict the landing point, failed to make much of an impact on the accurate pass that smashed into Crouch's head this time.

The bamboo pole giant, who is more than two meters tall, finally took advantage of his height to complete a header without too much physical confrontation.

Kong Xiaochuan didn't have time to make a save in front of the goal, don't look at Crouch's header, and his waist and abdomen strength are not good, so that his header shot has always been weak.

But this time it was David Beckham who passed the ball to him, and when the high-speed spinning ball hit his head, it immediately activated the rebound effect of the second acceleration.

So Kong Xiaochuan couldn't even make a save, and the football smashed into the goal behind him!

"The ball is in!"

"In the 31st minute of the first half, the giants of the England team rose into the air and completed the fatal blow to the biggest dark horse!"

"Crouch, this football Yao Ming, he helped England extend the score to 2:0!"

"Macau have suffered a heavy blow, will they be able to pull off another stunning comeback this time like they did against Tunisia in the group stage?"

“……”

After a burst of chrying, shouting, and screaming, the England fans at the scene began to sing the national anthem to celebrate the current good situation!

As for the stands where Chinese fans gathered, of course, they were a little unconfident at this time to respond with their own national anthems.

But under the unfavorable situation of 0:2, they were all pressed down by England fans in terms of momentum and sound!

This atmosphere naturally made the combat power of the Macau players also start to decline, because England is not Tunisia after all, and they are still the first team no matter how bad they are.

If they are only one goal behind, they still have the confidence to turn the game around, and they will not waver in their morale.

But to score two goals in a row in front of a team at this level, and at the same time to make sure that you don't concede a goal, it is really too difficult to win.

At this time, even if the Macau team was not desperate, it did suffer a heavy blow to morale!

So after the game restarted, the England team shrank the formation even more, which was to lure the Macau team to attack in a big way, and then used the counterattack to sneak attack again!

"They still want to score!"

Liao Qimin's face was ugly on the sidelines, in this case, the British still played so utilitarianly, it was obvious that they wanted to continue to score goals to expand their advantage!

This is because even the Macau players on the field know that the British are luring the enemy deeper, because it is not difficult for them to attack at this time, but it is even more difficult to attack the hinterland.

And once you go deep into the opponent's half to attack, then the opponent's fast and sharp counterattack will naturally be in front of you at any time.

However, the Macau team had no choice!

They fell behind 0:2 at this time, so they could only make a desperate bet like this, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, and they preferred to go to Tiger Mountain.

One of the most threatening attacks of the first half for Macau came in the 40th minute - this time it was originally a 3v4 counterattack launched by England in front, but Ma Zhenguo saw through the small range of short passes of Shuangde at the back, and a bold but accurate interception successfully cut off Frank Lampard's pass.

After Shen Yi got the ball, he quickly launched a counterattack, and after successfully making a one-two-one cooperation with Li Wei, he suddenly sent a scalpel straight pass forward.

Zhang Desheng started with a sharp acceleration, giving full play to his speed advantage and throwing off Hargreaves, who had been sticking to him.

This time, Gerrard and Frank Lampard were still desperately defending in the back, and neither of them could fight Hargreaves in the first place, so it was England's two tall defenders who were put to the test.

But Terry and Ferdinand had little to do in the face of Zhang Gongzi, who was rushing at full speed, because it was too late to tackle people at this speed, so they could only block his breakthrough route and run all the way to find opportunities for destruction.

At this time, I saw Zhang Desheng in the high-speed running several consecutive fine-tuning changes, which easily made the body center of gravity of the two England defenders completely uncoordinated, and it looked like one person was easily left behind after running with Zhang Gongzi for a while, and there was no chance to foul at all.

However, Robinson was standing in the small penalty area at this time and watched Zhang Desheng, who had already made a single knife, not attack at all, because the England coaching staff found that as long as he created a single chance after his debut, the goalkeeper only had a much greater chance of being scored than defending the small penalty area.

So Robinson stood dead in the small penalty area and stuck his shooting route, which made Zhang Desheng a little unexpected, rushing into the penalty area and taking two more steps forward before shooting low.

Robinson's reaction was quick, and he immediately stretched out his leg to block it.

However, the ball hit his calf and bounced towards the goal, but the rebound hit the crossbar and bounced off the crossbar before Terry kicked the ball into the flag area.

"Grass, this didn't go in!"

Zhang Desheng rarely covered his face with his hands, and if this goal was scored, the situation would be completely different.

But he actually missed at a critical moment, didn't this Nima drop the chain?

This single goal was not scored, which really made the Chinese fans so anxious that they stomped their feet, and the morale of the Macau players also fell again!

In the final minutes of the first half, they were once again besieged in the half by England, whose morale had been boosted after escaping death, and even Zhang Desheng had to come back first to help the defence.

However, luck really seems to have sided with the English today.

In the 45th minute of the first half, Ma Zhenguo had just broken a through ball from Frank Lampard with obvious intentions, but the ball that he stabbed away fell to Gerrard, who was facing the goal.

Gerrard was battling the ball with Tu Guangtai, but the direction in which the ball flew was too favourable for him, and it landed right in front of him in the calf position when he arrived.

So the captain of the Red Army didn't stop and faced the football directly with a volley 30 meters away!

Such a powerful heavy artillery bombardment of the door will most of the time turn into an anti-aircraft gun to relieve the enemy.

But once it is pressed, then it is possible to become a world wave that no goalkeeper can help!

Today, I don't know if the Macau team is unlucky, or the England team is lucky!

Gerrard's volley not only didn't hit high and missed, but even kicked a drop similar to an elevator ball, leaving Kong Xiaochuan with no choice but to turn around and watch the ball produce a violent arc that hit the crossbar and bounced into the goal.

"The ball is in again!"

"Gerrard, the great captain of the Red Army, he blasted a world wave from 30 meters away that shocked the world!"

"This will be an epic volley that completely destroys the Macau team!"

"The score is 3:0!"

"This time the Chinese will not have any more luck in the group stage!"

"The Englishman, the finish is complete!"

"I think they can already open the champagne early!"

"In the second half, maybe we'll see a real massacre!"

“……”

Although there is a bit of yin and yang in this live commentary on the first two balls, it is generally restrained!

However, when the score came to 3:0, this guy was directly revealed, and the Macau team directly became Chinese!

Obviously, he really felt that this game was over.

"Haha, Chinese, you can only get here by luck!"

"Go home, but you've seen the world, and it will be your honour to fall at the feet of the great England team at the end!"

"That's right, being able to walk shit and get to the top 16 is enough to be proud of for a lifetime, and you won't have a share in the next stage!"

“……”

The English fans on the scene will naturally be in high spirits, and they can't help but evolve towards the next stage of arrogance.

So they celebrated again and again, while starting to taunt the Chinese fans who were looking at each other from the stands on the opposite side.

"Toot!"

The morale of the Macau team has indeed completely fallen to the bottom, but fortunately, not long after the restart, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half after the football was destroyed out of bounds!

The score is 3:0!

This score really couldn't be worse for the Macau team!

Let's put it this way, after their debut in the Macau team, they haven't fallen so far behind in the international A-pole competition!

So looking at the bloody score that fell on him for the first time, all the Macau players, including Zhang Desheng, couldn't say a word.

Everyone could only flee and leave the players' tunnel quickly, not daring to look up at the stands of their fans!

This also made them unaware that in fact, even the Chinese fans had no voice, and they all looked like they were waiting for death when a catastrophe was imminent.

At this time, the Chinese fans who were still cheering for the Macau team at the scene were really one out of ten!

This is actually the most fucked up part, but considering that the primitive love for football is not so high in the first group of people who got rich in the first place, it is not difficult to understand why they lost hope of a comeback in despair.

And in a desperate situation, even the encouragement of the fans has lost the morale of the Macau team, and the morale of the whole team cannot be lowered!

As soon as Zhang Desheng returned to the locker room, he saw the frustrated teammates one by one, and knew very well that if they didn't want to save their morale, there would really be a bigger slaughter waiting for them in the second half!

He also knows that the England team will not show mercy, and they will try their best to kick out a big score tragedy!

So at this time, he turned his heart on the sideways and simply asked the assistant coach to call the two-person CCTV crew outside the door.

At this time, Zhang Desheng suddenly remembered a history that was eliminated by him, that is, the "Istanbul Night" that this plane had never appeared in because of his appearance!

He didn't have the confidence to replicate this history, but as the most powerful player in the game, he knew he definitely had what it took to pull off such a miracle.

In the first half, if it weren't for Robinson's choice not to attack, it accidentally interfered with his judgment...... If it weren't for his slightly worse luck...... He can score at least one goal!

Therefore, at this time, he has to push himself, but also his teammates, and he has to find a way to motivate the morale of the team.

Then just play bigger, he directly called the camera over, ready to use the lens to force himself and the whole team, so as to enter a desperate situation: if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!

The Macau players were stunned when they heard this, and then saw the CCTV film crew being called in, of course, their faces changed drastically.

They don't want their worst luck to be seen by more than a billion people in China, so what they want to do most is to find a hole in the ground and get in.

But Zhang Desheng has no other way, he knows that this will be just empty talk of the vernacular, the effect is not big, and he must rely on external forces to fight!

At this time, I saw Zhang Gongzi standing in the middle of the locker room, and began to lecture directly in front of the camera-

"I'm so disappointed with the fans today, they seem to have felt that the momentum is gone, that it's so hard to turn it back, that I can't hear them at all!"

"But I'm even more disappointed in you, because you don't dare look up at the silent fans!"

"Then look here, look at this shot, there are more than a billion Chinese fans behind it, I don't believe they have all given up!"

"It's 0:3 down now, a near-desperate score!"

"But no matter how difficult our situation is, can it be more desperate than the period sung in the national anthem?"

"Our martyrs did not give up in the desperate situation of destroying the country and exterminating the species, and there are still hundreds of millions of fans in China at this time who must not have given up, can we give up first!?"

"If our defeat is doomed to be irretrievable, then at least we must not be the laughing stock of World Cup history."

"Even if we lose, we will peel off the skin of the enemy, no one can defeat us so easily!"

"If you still respect me and captain me, then believe in the promise I made to you: 15 minutes before the second half, we will score! Yes, that's my promise to you, if we can score in the first 15 minutes of the second half, we will win the game! ”

"Now all pull yourself together, dust off your faces, and give me all in the second half, give it a go!"

“……”
