Chapter 250 Targeted Deployment

In the dressing room of the Three Lions, Rooney is sorting out his shin guards with a serious face.After a failed season, the hunger for the World Cup is stronger than ever.

He looked up and looked around. His teammates were talking and laughing, and their mentality was quite relaxed.

"What's wrong with Wayne." Captain Gerrard came over and patted Rooney on the shoulder. This kind of expression should not appear on Rooney's face.In recent years, people's evaluation of Rooney has become lower and lower. Since he became famous when he was young, the media and fans have placed high hopes on him.

Reaching the Champions League finals in 07/08 and 08/09 is also an affirmation of his ability. However, in the first year after Ronaldo left the team, Rooney did not restore Manchester United to the state of last year.

People began to be disappointed, saying that Rooney was just a follower behind Ronaldo, and he was nothing without Ronaldo.

Rooney must prove himself, the World Cup is undoubtedly the best stage.

Facing Gerrard's concern, Rooney raised his head and squeezed out a smiling face.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

I must play well and beat the German team.

Gerrard shrugged. Since Rooney said it was fine, he could only choose to trust his teammates.

The game time came soon, and players from the two teams filed out from the player channel.The media immediately turned their cameras on the players, and Andy slammed the shutter on Kaiser. This was the biggest difficulty for the German team after the start of the World Cup.Only by crossing England can they be qualified to stand in the arena for the final championship.

"The game is on! The German team is wearing a white jersey and black shorts, while the England team is wearing a red shirt. I am Kevin Jankel, the commentator for this game! Sitting next to me are Sauer and Matthaus."

"England's strength on paper is very strong. Rooney in the front, Gerrard and Lampard in the middle, and Terry in the back. Except for the goalkeeper, the central axis is the world's top strength."

"But Lampard and Gerrard cannot coexist," Matthaus said.

Saul glanced at him, I was about to say it myself.

"Lothar is right. England's biggest problem is their midfield. Without a clear defensive midfielder, Lampard and Gerrard can't devote themselves to attacking. Let's see if Coach Low can take advantage of this problem. Look! The German team attacks!"

After a one and a half offseason, Caesar was as aggressive as a boar in heat that had been holding back for a long time.As soon as the game started, he immediately fell into position and found Glenn Johnson who was facing him.

England's left-back is the famous Ashley Cole. Although he is not in the same state as before, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The experienced Cole will still cause a lot of trouble for the German team.

So as soon as it came up, Love asked the team to attack where Glenn Johnson was.

"Luther!" Ozil passed the ball, Caesar stopped the ball, and Glenn Johnson kept his center of gravity as if he was facing a big enemy, staring at Caesar firmly.

Caesar stepped on the ball and waited patiently for Ozil to come in behind Johnson and kick the ball through Johnson's outstretched legs.

Oops!

Johnson only paid attention to Caesar, but forgot that a full-back not only needs to look at the enemy in front of him, but also needs to listen to six directions and see all directions.

Ozil inserted between Johnson and Gerrard, and made a cross from the bottom.

Klose failed to reach the ball under Upson's defense, and Khedira received the second point from the outside to reorganize the attack.

"Here!" Ozil has already run out, reaching for the ball.

"The opponent does not have a clear defensive midfielder, so your performance is very important." Loew said to Ozil before the game, "Use your possession and passing to create opportunities for the team and find ways to beat them!"

Looking at England's relatively fragmented backline, Ozil started his show.

"Ozil moves to the left! Find Caesar! Caesar goes through! Ozil receives the ball near the touchline! Is Loew's strategy to let Ozil pull an infinite cross?"

Of course not, the dexterous Özil spiked the ball quickly and returned the ball to Caesar again.

Johnson and Gerrard were led away by Ozil, and the corner of the penalty area was naturally vacant.

Caesar quickly inserted, and Upson left Klose to defend.

"Caesar pulls the ball! Dodge the shot angle! Another dunk!"

Upson didn't expect this guy to make moves in such a narrow range, and Caesar slipped past him before he could react.

"James strikes! Caesar crosses!"

Klose kicked it up, but Terry returned to the defense in time and blocked the ball on the goal line.

James rushed the ball under his body with a hungry tiger.

Klose's eyes widened in disbelief, when did Terry go there? !

"Good job!" Gerrard turned his head and saw the scene of Klose hitting the empty goal, which scared him out of his mind.

If it weren't for Terry, England would have conceded the ball within 5 minutes of the game.

Capello is also a world-class coach, how could he fail to see Loew's tactics.

He immediately walked to the sidelines and signaled Gerrard to keep an eye on Ozil.

Gerald nodded, but he still had some complaints in his heart.

I am not a full-time defensive midfielder, let me focus on defense, who will attack.

James held the ball for a while before kicking it out. He needed time to calm his fragile little heart.

Wayne Rooney headed the ball over to Defoe before Mertesacker, who dribbled the ball past Khedira and fired a long-range shot from outside the box.

Although the central axis of the England team is luxurious, the wing attack is not satisfactory.

Both Barry and Milner are hardworking players.

Loew, who knows this well, asked the team to tighten up the center and lock Rooney.

Neuer gave the ball to Piggy, and after three passes and two downs, the ball returned to him, but the position had already advanced by more than ten meters.

When the ball was poured, instead of Ozil coming back to participate in possession, Klose dropped back a bit.

Upson's attention was taken away by Klose, while Caesar and Ozil quickly switched positions, and Xiaozhu immediately picked a pass behind him.

"Ozil succeeded in anti-offside! England's back line is too far ahead!"

James attacked again, and Terry didn't even have a chance to block the door this time. He had to watch Caesar who was plugging in.

However, although Ozil is a top midfielder, his shooting skills are still a little bit worse.

Facing James, Ozil's shot was weak and was directly saved by the opponent to the bottom line.

"Pass it to me!" Caesar spread his hands in front of the door, and Ozil retorted: "What's the hurry, there are still plenty of opportunities."

Terry was furious when he heard that, what the hell said that in front of me?
"Look at the people! Don't give them such a chance again!" Terry clapped his hands hard to encourage his teammates.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, he gave the opponent several good chances to score goals, which is worthy of England's defense.

The corner kick was taken and Terry pushed the ball hard.

"Counterattack!!"

As a result, Defoe slipped before receiving the ball and was stabbed by Friedrich.

Terry looked up to the sky and sighed, well, keep defending.
