The two sides have been in a state of panic, and the two sides have been in a state of panic.

Chapter 355: Belgium fights on its own, England unites as one!

In fact, Belgium had this problem as early as the first round of the European Cup against Italy.

De Bruyne should have played the role of the core of the frontcourt organization, and Hazard should have played the role of the wing blaster, and then they should work together and perform their respective duties.

However, Hazard needs the ball to break through, so as to tear open the defense, and then create threats by directly attacking the goal or passing the ball;

However, De Bruyne also needs the ball to organize and dispatch, and display his superb passing skills through a broad field of vision.

However, the two people’s functions on the field are incompatible, and they even rush to distribute the ball.

So, how to distribute the ball?

The method is very simple:

Whoever has a higher tactical position will have more ball possession!

And in the Belgian national team, the one with the highest tactical position in the frontcourt is undoubtedly Hazard, who became famous at a young age!

Hazard, who just got the ball, did not dare to be careless in the face of Walker, an old rival in the Premier League.

Grass!

It’s him again? !

Among all the Premier League right-backs that Hazard has played against, he thinks the most difficult one is undoubtedly the guy in front of him!

As a unique “chicken-type” full-back in football, Walker has explosive physical fitness. He has a strong body and speed, and his defense is very tough.

Especially his ability to defend alone on the wing, which is the second best in the Premier League today, and no one dares to claim the first place!

Whether it is a winger who uses rhythm changes to surpass others or a winger who uses pure speed to make soup, it is difficult to take advantage of Walker.

The former has a change of rhythm. Even if he can pass Walker, he will be destroyed by Walker’s pursuit if he does not have the speed to open up the distance.

The latter is not as fast as Walker. As soon as he dribbles the ball out, he is blocked by the faster Walker and the ball is intercepted.

Only those wingers who have both footwork and speed can pass Walker or even get rid of him completely.

But there are only a handful of such wingers in the entire football world.

In the entire Premier League, the only one who can slightly gain the upper hand in a one-on-one with Walker is Ling Feng!

Of course, Ling Feng is not able to pass Walker every time and achieve the goal of threatening the opponent’s goal.

However, compared with other wingers, only he can make Walker, who is now widely regarded as the first right back in the Premier League, feel “unable to defend”.

As a teammate, seeing the scene of Walker defending Hazard alone, Ling Feng suddenly felt very relieved.

“Hazard got the ball on the wing.”

“Walker is marking him.”

“This scene will definitely be familiar to Premier League fans.”

Walker fought and retreated, facing Hazard’s advance, and had no intention of kicking.

Perhaps because his physical condition has not yet recovered to its peak, or because he is a little afraid of Walker, Hazard did not break forward immediately, but continued to dribble the ball in small steps, using his body shaking to lure Walker to move his body center of gravity and find the best time to break through.

However, Walker has already adapted to his dribbling rhythm, and suddenly took a step forward, rushed to squeeze his body, and then carried Hazard away and grabbed the ball!

Seeing this, Ling Feng, who retreated to the midfield, immediately called out:

“Kyle!”

Hearing this, Walker looked up and immediately sent a straight pass to Ling Feng.

But before Ling Feng turned around, Nainggolan, who came from behind, raised his hand and pushed him down!

Beep!

The referee blew the foul whistle immediately!

However, the fearless “court butcher” Nainggolan patted his shoulder at the referee who came forward and explained:

“Hey! I didn’t use any force! This is a reasonable physical collision!”

“You have already pushed him! This is undoubtedly a foul!”

“He fell down by himself”

Seeing that quibbling was useless, Nainggolan, who retreated backwards, did not forget to send a provocative look to Ling Feng who was sitting on the grass.

And Ling Feng was not to be outdone, and his eyes were sharp and glared back.

As if to say, what are you looking at? !

This wave of counterattack was also a bit unexpected for Nainggolan.

At this time, the Belgian coach Wilmots on the sidelines also applauded Nainggolan for this timely tactical foul:

“Well done!”

In this game, Wilmots arranged Nainggolan, who has better running ability among the two defensive midfielders, to defend Ling Feng.

The task he gave Nainggolan was:

“No

No matter where the No.7 gets the ball, don’t let him turn around with the ball!”

This is why Nainggolan gave Ling Feng such a warning right at the beginning.

However, Ling Feng was not intimidated by Nainggolan’s ferocity.

After responding with his eyes, he tidied up his white socks, then kicked the ball directly, and continued to run and receive the ball calmly.

However, the Belgian did not let him go easily!

Next, whenever Ling Feng wanted to get the ball, Nainggolan would immediately come forward and stick to him, and then use his hands all over to prevent him from turning around easily.

Ling Feng has long been accustomed to such defensive intensity.

Even if he has a “court evil weapon” like [Advanced Anti-Injury Card], as long as Nainggolan dares to commit a malicious foul against him, he will suffer the consequences.

But Ling Feng did not take the ball too much , deliberately luring Nainggolan to commit a rough foul on him, but through continuous running and supporting, Nainggolan was exhausted behind him.

It was not that he did not want to get rid of Nainggolan, a butcher on the field, but he did not want to use this method to win.

[Anti-injury card] was originally a personal protection prop for him.

Of course, if Nainggolan insisted on committing a malicious foul on him and wanted to destroy him.

Ling Feng did not mind letting this butcher on the field taste the taste of having his legs broken by himself!

And under the continuous running and cruising, Nainggolan could not keep up with Ling Feng at all.

Even if he wanted to use fouls to interrupt the rhythm of the core of the Three Lions, he had no way to start.

This also made Nainggolan’s expression more and more ugly, and he couldn’t help cursing in his heart:

“Damn kid! Why is he like a loach! ”

After the game started, Belgium’s offensive intention was fully exerted.

From the forward pressure of several players in the frontcourt, it can be seen that Belgium also wants to use offense instead of defense, and make full use of its excellent offensive ability to tear open England’s defense as soon as possible, so as to take the lead in the score.

However, the Belgian players on the field seemed to be hesitant between the two ideas of “grabbing the start” and “steadily advancing”.

Whenever they controlled the ball, they wanted the defender to pass the ball to the midfielder, who would then pass the ball to the midfielder and then advance layer by layer.

However, England adopted a high-pressure tactic, and the frontcourt players pressed directly in front of the defender.

And through the diamond position in the midfield, they double-teamed Belgium’s midfielder Witsel, who was passing the ball, so that he did not dare to take the ball to organize the dispatch. .

This forced the Belgian backcourt players to either pass the ball to the side or directly make a long pass.

However, long passes and high balls were not a sure thing for Lukaku, who had not yet gained muscle.

Both Smalling and Cahill were able to overpower him and grab the first point of the high ball.

If the center forward in the frontcourt could not control the ball, the long pass was just a pass.

And De Bruyne in the middle received instructions from the head coach and did not retreat to receive the ball.

Therefore, this led to the Belgian backcourt’s outlet points becoming very limited.

The central defender took the ball, looked up and observed, and could only pass the ball to the side before Vardy’s robbed it.

Then the fullback passed the ball to Hazard on the left.

This is also Belgium’s regular tactical routine – pass the ball Leave it to Hazard, let him play!

Hazard does have the ability to advance and organize with the ball, and is also the best player in the team in attacking with the ball.

However, the most obvious problem of Belgium in attacking is the lack of teamwork.

There are talented players like Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku, and Carrasco in the frontcourt, but they fight alone and cannot play effective passing and cutting cooperation!

There are two reasons for this.

One is that De Bruyne does not have much ball possession and cannot calmly organize the attack and sort out the rhythm;

The second is that Hazard, as the captain, has too much ball and seems particularly lonely in this game!

Perhaps due to criticism from the media and teammates, Hazard wants to perform well in the game to prove that he is capable of becoming a Belgian. The captain at the time was also capable of leading the team to victory in key games.

His eagerness to make achievements led him to indulge in his personal dribbling breakthroughs.

However, under Walker’s single defense and Henderson’s assistance, Hazard repeatedly got the ball on the left, but was repeatedly intercepted.

Compared with the bloodbath of Hungary in the last round, the “Zha ball king” who passed through many people was completely different!

And Hazard’s several breakthroughs were fruitless, which also made De Bruyne, another core player in the team, dissatisfied.

Especially when there was an obvious vacancy near him, Hazard did not pass the ball, delaying the team’s attack.

And De Bruyne is also a famous “pressure monster”

If his teammates play unreasonably or poorly, he will directly hug

Complain or start a fight.

He had quarreled with his teammates during the game when he was in Wolfsburg.

However, this was a key match for the national team, and Hazard was the captain, so his professionalism made it difficult for him to show his emotional fluctuations.

However, after several times, he did not go close to the left to support, but came to the right to move, allowing Carrasco to move in the middle.

The two cores on the field acted independently, which also made the team’s frontcourt offensive coordination very torn, and the offensive routines were very easy to grasp.

Anyway, there are only two ways, either Hazard dribbled past the opponent on the left to create opportunities;

Or De Bruyne took the ball on the right to organize and cooperate with teammates to create threats;

As for Lukaku in the middle, he was tightly sandwiched by Smalling and Cahill, two tough guys, and he couldn’t even get the ball.

In comparison, the atmosphere and cohesion of the English team are better.

With the end of the double De, the club competition ideas of the older generation of English players also withdrew from the national team.

The new generation of English players surrounded Rooney, the only team leader, off the court.

On the court, they surrounded Ling Feng, the only tactical core.

The key to the unity of the Three Lions is the current team captain and locker room leader – Rooney!

In the two years since the two Germans withdrew from the national team in 2014, Rooney gradually realized that he could not lead this young and middle-aged Three Lions to achieve what the golden generation could not do with his own ability.

Therefore, he is more willing to retreat to the second line, give up more tactical freedom, and let Ling Feng, who is highly expected, take on the offensive task.

And such a concession of power has made the team’s offense more and more smooth, and victories are one after another.

Of course, this is also due to Hodgson’s full support for Ling Feng, and Ling Feng’s personal strength has been widely recognized by his teammates.

Today, Rooney’s tactical role in the Three Lions is very similar to that of the Red Devils Manchester United that dominated Europe back then.

Back then, Rooney was Ronaldo’s wingman in Manchester United; now, Rooney is Ling Feng’s wingman in England.

Because Rooney does not have the domineering leadership temperament like Ronaldo, who can take on the main responsibility.

Facts have proved that whether in Manchester United for so many years or in the Three Lions, he seems to be more suitable for a supporting second-in-command role.

Playing a hand beside the core, rather than being the top striker, is the position where he can best play his role!

However, as the best striker in England in the past fifteen years, Rooney is not without the ability to take the lead.

In the 2009-2010 season after Ronaldo left, Rooney was finally promoted by Ferguson and became the core of the Red Devils Manchester United striker, shouldering the offensive task of the Red Devils Manchester United.

At that time, Rooney was at the peak of his physical and technical skills, and with the blessing of Ferguson’s tactical system, he played the peak season of his career.

Then that season, the team lost the Premier League championship and missed the opportunity to create the feat of four consecutive Premier League titles.

Then, in the next two seasons, Rooney, as the offensive core of the team, performed well in terms of personal data.

He even scored a career-high 27 league goals in the 11-12 season!

However, the team lost again in the Premier League championship with Manchester City.

Coincidentally, Rooney scored the best goal data in his career in the two seasons of 09-10 and 11-12 when he failed to win the championship.

It was not until the summer of 2012 when Van Persie was introduced that Ferguson let Rooney return to the deputy position and regained the Premier League championship.

Of course, there are too many factors that affect winning the championship.

The team’s failure in the Premier League championship cannot be blamed on Rooney’s too many goals.

Now that he is getting older and his physical function is seriously declining at the end of his career, even if Rooney is still ambitious and wants to carry the team’s offensive banner, he is also unable to do so.

Coupled with the rapid rise of Ling Feng and Kane in the past two years, Rooney is also very willing to reduce the burden on him and let young people share some responsibilities.

This is also one of the important reasons why England’s performance in this European Cup is so impressive!

With Belgium’s unclear tactics, England slowly took control of the rhythm on the field under Ling Feng’s command.

When the game came to the 13th minute, England controlled the ball and attacked.

Henderson took the ball and passed it to Ling Feng who came back to receive it.

With his back to the goal, Ling Feng was very clear that Nainggolan was following him like a shadow.

So, at the moment of receiving the ball, Ling Feng did not stop the ball with his right foot, but turned his body to the side and pretended to turn to the left.

Then, when Nainggolan behind him moved his center of gravity to the left, he used

He kicked the ball in the opposite direction with his left heel.

The next second, Ling Feng turned right and accelerated suddenly.

He whizzed past the surprised Nainggolan!
