king of world football

On the evening of July 7, at the Spartak Stadium on the outskirts of Moscow, the capital of Russia, the match between the Chinese team and the England team in the round of 3 of the World Cup began here.

After eight years, the two teams met again at the same place, attracting the attention of media and fans all over the world.

As in the past, this England starting lineup is star-studded, with goalkeeper Pickford.

The four defenders are Walker, Stones, Maguire and Henderson.

The four midfielders are Trippier, Alli, Lingard and Ashley Young.

Double striker Sterling and Harry Kane.

Standing near the middle circle, Wang Feng could clearly feel that several eyes were focused on him. It was Manchester City teammates and Premier League opponents, and they would definitely be extremely vigilant towards him.

Compared with the continuous changes in the group stage, England was obviously more cautious in the knockout round, dispatching their strongest [-] balanced lineup.

The sideline coach South Gaier looked relaxed. He only took over the coach of the Three Lions in 2016. He has not experienced the night of the dark horse eight years ago, so his feelings are not very deep.

In the eyes of the British, Wang Feng is getting old, and the other players in the Chinese team are not particularly outstanding. It is not a problem for the team to surpass them and continue to advance.

After all, this England team has been the most powerful in recent years and has every chance to compete for the Hercules Cup!

The fact is indeed the case. After the start of the game, England quickly took advantage of the scene, and did not hesitate to use the high position to press to get a lot of offensive opportunities, and the Chinese team was in a hurry.

In the first three and 10 minutes, the Chinese team had only two chances to counterattack, one was sent to the stands by Wu Lei, and the other was blocked by a foul by the opponent.

Fortunately, tonight, the Chinese team's defensive will is relatively firm. Several players flew to block the hole of the gun. Goalkeeper Wang Xianghe made a brave save.

When everyone was startled into a cold sweat, Wang Feng clapped his hands and shouted loudly to everyone: "Guys, if they can't score in this way, it means that the wind of victory is on our side. If you continue to persevere, there will definitely be a turning point." !"

Chinese superstars are like this, they can always find a unique angle to comfort and encourage their teammates.

Therefore, although England's ball possession rate is close to [-]%, and the number of shots is seven or eight, the Chinese team still does not lose the ball and crash.

.........

With the increase in the number of attacks, you can clearly feel the anxiety rising in the opponent's heart. They subconsciously increased the number of long-range shots in the frontcourt, and the tense nerves of the defenders also eased.

This can't be blamed on them. Wang Feng, who needs the most attention, is working diligently as the defensive gate, and seems to have no intention of participating in the offense at all. They can't always follow the frontcourt to defend closely.

The Chinese superstar is very familiar with Walker, Stones and several other teammates, especially Stones is not flexible enough, and sometimes he is inattentive and easy to overwhelm, so he needs to wait patiently for the chance of a fatal blow.

Near the end of halftime, England's offensive slowed down a bit, and it seemed that they were preparing to revive in the second half after time passed.

At this time, Feng Miao suddenly jumped out to block the pass between Ali and Lingard to intercept the ball, and then quickly picked a pass from the side.

Huang Hu went forward to catch up with the ball, and England's defense seemed to be stuck. By the time Walker stepped forward to press, the Chinese winger had already sent a diagonal pass straight to the top of the arc.

Wang Feng rushed to the right position at this time, and moved the ball back to the right side of his body before Stones.

Sure enough, as he expected, Stones had no way to react and adjust his body in such a short period of time, so he rushed straight from the side of the Chinese superstar, revealing a large gap behind him.

So Wang Feng took advantage of the opportunity to enter the penalty area and quickly volleyed the near end with his right foot before Maguire could make up the defense. Goalkeeper Pickford had no time to make a save and could only turn his head and send the ball into the net.

"Wow!" The fans at the scene didn't react until this time, and they all screamed. After watching the suppressed situation for almost 45 minutes, they were even more surprised by the sudden goal.

But it soon turned into ecstasy, and the dancing of red flags and the beating of drums became more enthusiastic.

The English players stared at each other dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that they were behind. Didn't the team always control the situation of the game and press like a hunter playing with prey?

Little do they know that a real hunter will not choose to jump up and down, but waits silently without moving. When the enemy shows a slight flaw, he will show his sharp fangs and strike.

Pickford knelt down on the ground and hammered the lawn hard, his eyes were full of unwillingness, the audience threatened him for the first time and he couldn't make a save, who would have thought that Wang Feng would kick so far away and aim at the near end to exert force, too much Bold is too confident!

He is not the first world-class goalkeeper to fall at the feet of Chinese superstars. Neuer, Ter Stegen, De Gea, etc., as long as the goalkeepers who have dealt with him all feel a headache.

The reason is that Wang Feng's approach to the goal is too clever, and he always seems to find the most suitable way. For example, this time, if he shoots later, he will be interfered by the defensive players.

If you choose to push or aim at the far end, the ball speed may not be enough, and it may be confiscated by the goalkeeper. The same is true for lob shots. He is relatively far away from Pickford, and it is impossible to pass the opponent.

Only by aiming at the close point and making a miracle vigorously, betting on Pickford's reaction speed with quickness, it turns out that he was right, and normal people have no time to make a save.

Compared with Pickford's annoyance, Stones was more deeply hit. Not only was he useless in this defense, but he also rushed forward to force the loss, which can be said to have directly caused the loss of the ball.

The English people have a feeling that Wang Feng is more terrifying when he is in the national team than in Manchester City. Although he is more dedicated, after all, he has experienced countless times, and the glory of the club has become an embellishment for him.

Now it is different. When the Chinese superstar is wearing a red jersey with the national flag embroidered on his chest, he is really fighting with his life!

What they are facing is not a 35-year-old veteran who is gradually losing his dominance, but the god of football that everyone needs to look up to!

.........

After a 15-minute intermission, England coach South Gaier made substitution adjustments and sent Rashford to further strengthen the offense. He did not believe that he could not break through the opponent's defense.

The 21-year-old youngster, who has gradually established himself as the main player in Manchester United, dared to play, fight and be flexible. He did cause a lot of trouble for the Chinese team for a while, especially when he almost succeeded in a close-range shot in the 64th minute. Fortunately, He Yun was on the goal line. The forward leg was successfully blocked.

When the time came to the 88th minute, England finally got their dream goal after working hard for the whole game and completing nearly 20 shots.

Sterling volleyed and hit the defensive player, Rashford immediately grabbed the second point before knocking across the goal, Harry Kane followed up and pushed through the net.

It's just that this goal came too late. As early as 10 minutes ago, the Chinese team expanded their lead through a counterattack opportunity.

Zhang Fanlin made a steal with a sliding shovel in the backcourt. Yang Ronghua controlled the ball and quickly distributed it to Wang Feng. He dribbled forward and attracted three defensive players to intercept.

But even in this heavy siege, the Chinese superstar still found a way to break out of the oblique penalty area, and Huang Hu managed to poke and shoot.

2:1!The Chinese team once again surpassed England and advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup!
