Football: Guards with knives, shovel Ronaldo at the beginning

The second half started quickly.

It is very interesting for England to make substitution adjustments first.

It seemed that some kind of deal had been made, and Lampard replaced Gerrard in the second half of the game.

Since Lindy came to the England team, the game where the two virtues played together has never been seen again.

Whether it is the incompatibility of the two virtues or the reason why the younger generation has grown up.

Both sides made their own appearances, which became the main theme of the England team's game.

This is what gives the opponent's coach a headache, you don't know when you will encounter any virtue!

Whether it is the virtue of the front waist or the back waist, you don't know at all.

On the other side, Prandelli explained the tactics throughout the intermission, but did not mention substitutions at all.

But, he let Aquilani and Cassano to warm up.

But as soon as the game started, the rhythm of the game changed.

After Lampard and Henderson served as the team's double midfielder, Lindy was liberated.

His position was advanced again.

Although no one has said it, such tactics have appeared many times in Liverpool's games this year.

This is an obvious offensive signal!

It is also completely different from the England second-half tactics that Prandelli expected in midfield.

For a while, England completely overwhelmed Italy in terms of ball possession and offense, directly exceeding everyone's expectations.

The game time is 49 minutes.

Lindy received a pass from Lampard in the frontcourt, but at this time he was a little depressed.

Because of the problem of ball control and ball holding ability, he was placed in the frontcourt in the second half as an offensive fulcrum and organizational role.

This matter is very interesting.

Logically speaking, either become the fulcrum of offense, or become the core of the organization.

The two can occasionally make guest appearances, but it is difficult to be compatible.

But Hodgson just arranged it this way.

Lindy felt De Rossi's various small movements behind him, on the waist, under the ribs, and on the knees.

All kinds of covert small moves are compulsory courses in the exclusive defensive teaching in Italy.

Almost every defensive master who comes out of Serie A will be able to create more favorable conditions for himself in normal physical contact without fouling.

Lindy was about to lean back and then complete his turn.

But before his body exerted his strength, the pressure behind him was instantly released. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have fallen down.

Seizing the fleeting opportunity of turning around, Lindy pulled the ball forward, and his body completed the second pull of the ball when turning around.

But the experienced De Rossi immediately posted it and got in touch with football.

Lindy quickly took two steps, pushed away the double-teamed Verratti, and controlled the ball again.

But he has lost the opportunity to pass the ball forward, and he can only choose to pass back in desperation.

When static, falling into the Italian chain defense is simply a disaster.

The game continues.

Prandelli was not too complacent because England still had a firm grip on the ball.

Italy's occasional counterattacks made it difficult to find Balotelli directly.

The game time is 57 minutes.

England went on the offensive again, but this time something was different.

Lindy told Rooney to step back a bit, standing in the crowd, he had no chance to pass the ball at all.

Italy's defense also moved forward with Rooney's retreat.

The original low-post defense began to gradually squeeze out some space.

At this time, Lindy, who was originally in the midfielder position, suddenly retreated to catch the ball.

With just one look, Henderson will move forward contentedly.

And Lampard suddenly started to move forward, which was obviously contrary to Hodgson's tactics.

But Hodgson cocked his legs on the sidelines, which did not stop Lindy from performing on the spot.

The two suddenly advanced, and Rooney, who was retreating, instantly formed an offensive arrow in the frontcourt. The Italian midfield defense obviously felt the pressure.

Lindy waved his hand, and Sterling immediately started to cut in, ready to go straight behind him.

Lindy's pass followed suit!

But Welbeck's reaction was still a step slow, and he didn't realize what Lindy wanted to do at all.

This also caused Lindy's little tactics to go awry.

Sterling got the football before the three double-teamed, and a shot from the sideline of the penalty area seemed a bit nondescript.

But it was a successful attempt.

On the other hand, Italy still seems to be unable to attack.

The shortcomings of the single striker are completely exposed at this time.

Prandelli finally couldn't stand the pressure, and lost the opening game 0-2, which was simply too nightmare.

The game time is 62 minutes.

Cassano replaced Candreva, Thiago Motta replaced Verratti.

Italy's counterattack began to show its power gradually.

Maguire can't keep up with Balotelli, but another Italian striker Cassano is also not easy to follow.

The game time is 67 minutes.

Pirlo received Buffon's pass from the backcourt and sent a long pass without waiting for Rooney to interfere.

The football went straight behind England.

The two players, one black, one white, one tall and one fast, formed two whirlwinds, directly hitting the tall defense of the Three Lions.

The difference between English defense and Italian defense emerges here.

Maguire was quickly thrown away by Balotelli by 2 positions, and without Cahill's replacement, the situation began to become a little dangerous.

In front of the penalty area, Balotelli faced the rebounding football and did not continue to take it.

Instead, choose to hit the door directly!

Volley shot!

But this is not Euro 2012, and England is not German!

Joe Hart's flying save sent the ball over the crossbar.

Prandelli stomped his feet angrily on the sidelines, because Cassano over there also ran out of position!

"Unfortunately, it was only a little bit close to getting a goal back."

"Balotelli's shot was powerful and heavy, but unfortunately, it was too direct."

"On the contrary, his teammate Cassano is in a better position. If the ball is crossed, maybe it will score."

Seeing that the shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, Balotelli, who was quite proud of the shot, just kept turning his head and expressed confusion.

Maguire was so excited that he rushed up and hugged Joe Hart fiercely:

"You're fucking amazing, you're an absolute fucking genius!"

Cahill was also so excited that he slapped Joe Hart's head fiercely.

After all, at this time the title of [King of Shezheng] has not yet come, and occasionally getting kicked is not a hundred shots.

But with this Italian attack, Cahill and Maguire are already alert.

The game time is 74 minutes.

The old Italian trick was repeated, but this time Pirlo was directly watched to death by Lindy, and there was no chance at all.

The task of playing the ball was handed over to Verratti to perform.

The football crossed the half-court again, and Balotelli once again seemed to be in no man's land, striding directly into the penalty area with the footsteps of an African antelope, passing the goalkeeper and pushing a shot from the far corner to score.

But at this time, the banner of the lineman had already been raised.

Offside first!

Maguire and Cahill even had a chest bump to celebrate in front of the retreating Bashen.

This move attracted the other party to come up again.

If the bad boy Cassano hadn't stopped him in time, the England team would have been absolutely sure of victory.

Prandelli looked at the scoreboard.

Well, time is running out for the Italian team.
