There is a dream called football

Chapter 368 Against the Three Lions
"We got the England starting line-up an hour ago."

"The goalkeeper is Robinson."

"The left back is Ashley Cole, and the right back is Carragher from Liverpool. It seems that Neville's injury still makes the coach choose to be conservative, because it stands to reason that Carragher is a central defender."

"The two centre-backs are familiar to everyone, Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand and Chelsea's John Terry."

"In midfield it's Gerrard and Lampard."

"Beckham on the right, Joe Cole on the left."

"Two forwards, one high and one fast - Crouch and Owen."

"Jianxiang, how is this lineup?"

"Very strong, at the top of the Premier League."

"Haha, that's how I see it, and I'm looking at the bench, Rooney, Walcott..."

"The national football team can only do their best in this game."

The lineup of the Chinese team has also changed slightly.

Goalkeeper - Liu Yunfei.

Defense line - Sun Xiang, Li Weifeng, Dewey, Sun Jihai.

Midfielders - Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi, Li Tie.

Avant-garde line - Li Qiao, Hao Junmin, Lei Wen.

"The Chinese team still has no striker."

"This has already aroused heated discussions in foreign media. Wufengzhen is an innovation directed by Zhu."

"This is also the suffering of the national football forwards out of gear."

"I hope that in the next World Cup, all this will be better, and the national football team will have another good striker like ***."

After the game started, the national football team still retreated. In fact, the national football team's formation is very flexible. Many people can understand it at a glance. When the national football team is defending, Zheng Zhi and Li Tie all retreat to the defense line, forming a back five.

It's an exaggeration, but maybe that's the only way to stop the England defense.

"The national football team has five defenders today."

"Director Zhu should also have considered the strength of the opponent's offense. It's okay to be conservative. If we can get a draw in this game, then the German World Cup national football team will be very successful."

England formed a siege to the national football team after the opening, but before the national football team's five defenders, they couldn't find a way to attack for a while. Beckham passed a few high balls to Crouch in the penalty area, but Crouch's header was far away.

Because the Chinese team still did a good job of protecting the core area, they would rather collide than let Crouch easily hit himself with a header.

Eriksson sat on the coach's bench, looking calm and composed. He is still fully sure that he can win this game, it's just a matter of time.

He felt that the Chinese team's defense could be stabilized in the opening stage, but in the second half, let alone five guards, even fifty guards could not stabilize.

The disadvantage of weak teams lies in the collapse of the tactical system after physical fitness declines, which is incomparable with strong teams.

England hit the Chinese team's defense several times with the simplest cross from the side, and found that the effect was mediocre. Although England has two forwards, they only have one high point in the penalty area, and Owen will not grab it.

So the effect of passing the ball is mediocre. With five players in the Chinese team, it is no problem to stare at one Crouch. Moreover, Gao Lao's playing style is a bit single, which is also the problem.

Soon, England changed the way of playing football to ground cooperation. Gerrard and Lampard had very good control of the ball. The Chinese team did not go up to grab the ball easily, and the space in front of the penalty area could be given up.

Of course, if the opponent shoots a particularly long-range shot, then the Chinese team can only consider themselves unlucky, and can only pray that such a thing will not happen.

Owen and Crouch disappeared in the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team. Lampard aimed at the goal and shot a burst. The ball flew towards Liu Yunfei. Director Zhu was shocked.

Fortunately, the ball was not refracted. Liu Yunfei hit the ball out of the penalty area with both fists. England took the ball and continued to organize an attack in the frontcourt.

Huang Jianxiang said: "This game cannot be played like this. If the Chinese team can't hold the ball in front of the penalty area, it will be the opponent's half-court offense and defense."

Indeed, this has evolved into England training, which is even a little easier than the usual team training.

But there is no way for the time being, the Chinese team must overcome the opponent's attack in the opening stage, and it may get better slowly.

Finally, the Chinese team got the ball. Zheng Zhi made a cross to find Li Qiao. After the latter got the ball, he half-turned and was about to go forward. Ashley Cole stepped forward and broke the ball.

In this game, it was more difficult for Li Qiao to hold the ball than in the previous game. Maybe it was because of his understanding, but also because England's defenders were stronger.

"If Li Qiao can't hold the ball, then the Chinese team will lose their counterattack point."

"This game may be the most difficult game for the Chinese team in the past few years."

"At least the Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers have not encountered such a strong opponent."

During the conversation, England’s offense came back. Beckham took the ball in the midfield, and he swung the ball towards the goal with a curved kick.

At this time, Crouch saw the opportunity and was about to step forward to push in. Fortunately, Li Weifeng resisted the opponent and kicked the ball out with one kick.

"Li Weifeng's clearance was too timely."

"Liu Yunfei's handling was a bit sloppy, his position was too far forward, and Xiao Bei also kicked a lob shot when he saw his position."

However, in the first 20 minutes of the game, England did not create an absolute chance. The intensive defense of the Chinese team should be said to have been successful, but the Chinese team could not hold the ball. Li Qiao returned to the center circle to hold the ball without a visa, but then there is no threat to hold the ball.

This is a very troublesome thing, but this is English football. Holding the ball can never be easy. Li Qiao is also very comfortable with this feeling. Playing in the Premier League and holding the ball will inevitably encounter a strong impact from the opponent. You have to solve the problem yourself.

After 20 minutes, England's high pressure slowed down, and the Chinese team was able to hold the ball in the frontcourt. Zheng Zhi and Li Tie also stood in the midfielder position.

Especially Zheng Zhi, he is very good at holding and distributing the ball. Li Qiao can give the ball to Zheng Zhi, and then run by himself. At least Zheng Zhi will not lose the ball, which is very important.

Zheng Zhi looked at it, and suddenly found that Hao Junmin's position was empty, and pushed it flat. Hao Junmin was in the front midfielder.

England suddenly discovered that the Chinese team had two points rushing into the penalty area, Hao Junmin and Li Qiao, and Lei Wen did not hesitate, and directly passed an arc into the penalty area with his left foot.

This ball depends on whether it can cause chaos in the opponent's penalty area.
