Arthur's Football

This is Arthur's first time stepping into the World Cup. Before he took the ball boy's hand and walked into the field in the opening song, he let go of the ball boy's hand and jumped twice.

As soon as this movement came out, No. 10 Rooney behind him supported his forehead with the hand that was not holding the caddy.

Rooney's actions and expressions made many fans laugh, while Cristiano, who was watching the game with his national team teammates in front of the TV, snorted and made a note of this fat man.

Is Cristiano superstitious?He's not superstitious, but if this move brings him good luck, why not do it?

So he suggested this to Arthur.

Now he is content!

Arthur didn't know anything about the movements of the fat man behind him. He looked in the direction of the family seat. He had already seen the position of his family members with excellent eyesight. He waved, but the screams and shouts of the audience were overwhelming. Surging!

Arthur looked puzzled. It is said that England and the United States had about the same number of fans entering the stadium this time. Why did he hear people shouting his name from all directions in the audience?The shouting from the American stands was still very loud.

This was the case during the warm-up before, but he didn't think about his fan base in the United States at all. After being puzzled, he withdrew his attention, and he had to focus on the game in front of him.

In order to get off to a good start today, Capello almost deployed the strongest lineup.

The starting goalkeeper is Green.

Defenders, from left to right, are Ashley Cole, John Terry, Ledley King and Glenn Johnson.

The reason why there is no Ferdinand is because Capello hopes to keep his useful body to play for England at a critical moment.

The double midfielders are Carrick and Lampard.

Arthur and Gerrard, Beckham and the single arrow Rooney formed the frontcourt lineup.

Because of Beckham's outstanding performance this season, Capello didn't even take Walcott this time, so this time the old Beckham was also placed by him as his favorite right midfielder.

This lineup is not only the one he likes to use when he coaches Real Madrid, but also one of Ferguson's favorite two formations this season, so he is not worried about these England internationals who can hardly play well in other lineups except 2. Contest.

After taking a group photo before the game, the two sides guessed which side, and the United States would attack first.

American fans paid a lot of attention to this game, and the American media even hyped the war of independence between England and the United States on the football field.

But American coach Bob Bradley was very low-key before the game. He said humbly: "We all know that England is very strong, so I told my players that we need to do our best to deal with this game. easy."

Bradley's goal is very clear, we want to squat!We resolutely defend and counterattack!

Because 23 of the 8-man roster in the United States played in the Premier League, not only 4 of today's starters are now in the Premier League, and the starting goalkeeper Howard is even an abandoned player by Manchester United.

Howard is known as a butter hand, but after the game started today, Howard saved a shot from the fat man!

This is too fat for a fat man!

At the beginning of the game, although the United States had the ball, Gerrard's defense was obviously much better than Kaka's, and his interception skills were also quite good, so he broke the ball at the feet of American striker Findlay, and then directly Straight to the fat man.

The fat man just kicked a shot. Unexpectedly, Howard was extremely focused at the beginning of the game and made a surprise attack.

Arthur glanced at the fat man faintly, and found that the guy was covering his head in frustration and didn't see him, so he called out, "Waza."

Arthur's voice was not loud, but the voice of his thighs must be highly recognizable to Rooney. After he noticed him, Arthur made a shooting gesture.

Maybe other people don't understand it yet, and the other Manchester United people who watched the live broadcast in front of the TV laughed.

Pepe looked at Cristiano in confusion, "Chris, what does he mean? Teaching Rooney to shoot?"

"No—" Cristiano laughed, he was about to burst out of laughter, his exaggerated movements made all his teammates look at him curiously, they were anxious.

The other Nani, who played for Manchester United, didn't give in too much. Nani had already laughed to the ground, but he still added with difficulty for his thigh: "Arthur, Arthur said he wanted to kick his ass."

At this moment, there was a burst of wild laughter in the Portuguese base, as did Brazil. Even the retired Sir Alex Ferguson was laughing up and down.

Rooney looked at Arthur innocently, but seeing that Arthur had already run away, he stopped wasting his glances and ran back limply.

Seeing this, Gerrard returned to defense and thought, can I be like Kaka?

Hehehe, it's not my fault!

Although the overall lineup cannot be compared with England at all, and the combined value of the whole team is not as high as that of Arthur and Rooney combined, the Americans' tactical execution is still very strong.

After receiving a pass from the backcourt, No. 17 Altidore directly passed the Tottenham captain Ledley King who replaced Ferdinand today. Fortunately, Terry made a timely clearance when he shot and directly blocked the hole with his body.

But the U.S. offense is not over yet. After Terry made a clearance, Altidore scrambled for the second point. At this time, I would like to thank Lampard for actively returning to defense. In contrast, Glenn Johnson, a serious right back, failed directly. .

The defense at the beginning of the game made Capello a little angry. He loudly asked the defense, the core of the defense, to command the defense.

Ferdinand looked at him faintly, let me go!I'm doing well!

Carragher next to him glanced at him, if he wants to go up, I will go up, you'd better recuperate!

The United States failed in one hit, and the ball reached Carrick's feet. Today England has three brains, but Carrick is the main one. Lampard is more responsible for helping offense and defense today. The other one?

Beckham, of course.

Carrick directly sent the ball to the feet of Arthur, who has been idle since the beginning of today.

Capello is also looking at Arthur, he hopes Arthur can seal the victory for England in the first half.

The reason is simple, there are only 10 days in the knockout stage, and 10 games will be played in these 4 days!As far as Arthur's poor physical fitness, can he hold it?And without Arthur, the possibility of winning the championship...

Just look at previous years and you'll know.

The knockout rounds are cruel, and Arthur's physical fitness is limited. If you want Arthur to perform well in the knockout rounds, you can't make him too tired in the group stage.

He had already told Arthur about this, so in this game Arthur blatantly walked on the left side when he had no chance, with a leisurely posture.

But now that the ball is at his feet, Donovan, the American brain who originally defended him and was also the starting point of their offense, finds everything is different!

If it had been the past, Arthur would have strangled the Americans to death on his left, but today, as long as Donovan didn't want to score breakthroughs or steals on him, Arthur was basically gentle and harmless.

Gentle ghost!

It's all an illusion!illusion!

After Arthur caught the ball and immediately started to throw him off without being able to get stuck, Donovan gritted his teeth and chased wildly while commanding his teammates.

careful!This lion is about to bite!

Arthur didn't bite, he just broke through Donovan and passed Bradley by the way, and then ran a few steps with Bocanegra who was pulling his jersey.

Ordinarily, the referee should have blown such an obvious pulling foul, but because of the principle of favorable offense, he didn't blow it.

This didn't hinder Arthur, because Bocca Negra didn't know whether it was because of the referee's eyes, or because Arthur ran too fast, he finally let go!

Rooney had already ambushed near the penalty area. After confirming that he was not offside, he raised his hand and asked for the ball. Give me a bite!

Arthur passed the ball!

It was an extremely beautiful flower arrangement pass, and his slender legs made this movement chic and freehand, very demeanor of a flower arrangement madman.

Benzema: Exactly!exactly...

Cristiano: Exactly!

Rooney watched the flower arrangement under Arthur's feet and sent the ball to Gerrard's feet.

Because Arthur and Rooney made room for him, the Liverpool captain used his iconic heavy artillery to break through the gate guarded by Howard!

Less than 5 minutes into the game!

England ushered in a fantastic start!

After scoring the goal, Gerrard was so happy that he punched and jumped as he ran forward!

Rooney squinted at him.

familiar script.

Familiar style.

Simply the same!

Except that guy looks better than him!

Arthur patted Rooney on the head condescendingly, and Rooney immediately looked at his chicken thigh QAQ, Arthur stared at him and said, "It's not a good chance—"

"I pass the ball!" Rooney almost cried!

"I don't feel good about my feet—"

"No shooting!" Rooney continued to promise!

Only then did Arthur rub the place he just patted for him with satisfaction, and Gerald hugged him and kissed him on the face.

"Wow~~" Pepe exclaimed, then whistled, and was slapped on the head.

He looked at the captain aggrievedly, why did you shoot me?

But in a flash, he shut up.

Because he saw Nani winking at him desperately, although he didn't know what was going on, he was right to listen to Nani.

After the first goal, England did not take the initiative. The biggest reason was because of their defense.

Arthur was a little helpless, because the American No. 17 Altidore was very active today, and he seemed to have found the feeling after breaking through Ledley King, so he went here!

The United States has a simple offense and spares no effort in defense. With such a colander, Carrick and Lampard have to work hard to help the team defend. Even the United States scored England's first goal in this World Cup before. Gerrard went back to defense.

Arthur moved to the middle to give Ashley Cole behind him a chance to get in, but he thought that if there were still constant alarms in the middle, Cole might not be able to get in because he had to help Terry defend ...

He was powerless against the defense on the left and could only look at Capello.

Capello only gave him one move after seeing his eyes, don't worry about that, score your goal!

Then Capello shouted at Terry again, signaling him to set an example like a role model.

Terry is also the captain of the national team. Since he is asked to command him, he is a bachelor. However, personal ability does not seem to be something that he can help his companions improve with verbal education.

At least Ledley King played very badly today defending, especially defending high-altitude balls.

But for Americans who can play high-altitude balls, why should we take positions?

After more than ten minutes of danger, Capello was thinking about whether to replace Carragher. When the United States got another corner kick, Arthur ran to the sidelines and said to Capello: "Fabio, we will play three times. waist."

Three midfielders?

Capello's eyes lit up, and he, an Italian, had an epiphany. He immediately asked Arthur to go back, and then yelled "David!"

Beckham looked at him. At this moment, the American almost took advantage of the corner kick and scored a goal!

Capello immediately gave him instructions, and soon the England lineup on the field became 4312.

That "1", that is, Kaka's favorite position has now become Arthur, and Gerrard and Rooney have become his favorite second striker together, and Lampard also finds that no one is running with him anymore When moving, the positions may overlap, which is cool!

With the addition of an old Bei to help defend, although the loopholes in the defense have not been plugged, they have been greatly alleviated. The key is that England's offense has been smooth.

Each of the three midfielders is capable of being a commander and a card dealer, and each has the ability to attack forward.

However, the three brothers may be afraid of outsourcing, so they discussed it. Basically, Lampard is the one who advances forward, and the remaining two Manchester United midfielders will cooperate more tacitly.

The most obvious consequence of the change is that Arthur scored his first goal in the World Cup!

Still a world wave!

It was the 27th minute of the game. Lampard went straight to Arthur. After receiving the ball, Chick Cub found that Howard was standing a bit forward, so he decisively hung the goal about [-] yards away from the goal outside the arc of the penalty area!

Howard tried his best, but he could only touch the air.

England 2:0!

The England fans at the scene were extremely happy. Fortunately, they did not lose their character today, at least they did not sing the song "The World is Under Our Feet"!

The United States, which lost two goals in a row, was not depressed by this. The unity and tactical execution ability they showed today is indeed commendable.

They relentlessly try to create scoring chances with high balls, or open up the situation with long shots, or fight for set pieces.

Their hard work paid off. In the 39th minute of the first half, an unexpected scene happened——

American midfielder Dempsey tries a long shot from outside the penalty area!However, this long-range shot was weak compared to England's heavy gunners, but it was such a shot, England's goalkeeper Grint!hand!up!

Howard, who has been ridiculed all the time, is on the opposite side. Today, he was lobbed by Arthur, but his performance is still impressive, because without him, the current score would be more than 2:0!

He can be respectfully called "Father" by all Americans!

And the gates of England—

yellow!Oil!hand!up!

England fans were silent.

How many bags have their keeper made since David Seaman retired?

Almost none of them are reliable!

In 08, Paul Robinson returned a pass and kicked the air, causing the opponent's striker to steal the chicken. They lost to Croatia just like that. Needless to say, the European Cup watched at home is their eternal shame.

And today Green's performance once again reminded all England fans——

A wrong goalkeeper can make all the efforts of the forwards go to waste!

The game was still going on, Arthur was very active and repeatedly reached out for the ball, and Rooney also performed very hard. Since they can't count on the backcourt and they are all dragging their feet, they should count on themselves!

There is nothing wrong with this idea. Although Bradley Jr., Clark, Bocanegra, and Celendoro are double-teaming Arthur almost all the time, the cooperation between Arthur and Rooney is too tacit. There was Gerrard, who seemed to be a wingman, but actually had more kicks than Rooney. Before the end of the first half, the United States conceded the ball again.

The one that opened this time has finally become a fat man!

Fatty no longer has to worry about the media scolding and counting his national team's scoring shortage!

Fatty hugged his chicken thigh happily and twirled romantically!

Gerrard originally wanted to join the celebration, although he is from Liverpool, but although the fat man is an Everton fan, he is also a Toffee youth training, after all, he is also a Liverpool account book.

Seeing this scene, he took a few steps back rationally, and hugged Beckham to finish the job.

After Arthur was put down, he really [super fierce.jpg] glared at the fat man!

"Waza, you're damaging my image. I'm not the weak person I used to be. You'll give other defenders the illusion that I'm easy to bully..." Arthur taught Rooney a lesson.

Not far away, the two central defenders Onyeu and Demerit, who were waiting depressedly for the kick-off, looked skeptical about their lives——

Are you strong?

Although you are not easy to bully at all!

The author has something to say:

In those years, England's national gate staged fancy patterns:

In the evening, Seaman, who was lobbed by Ronaldinho, Green's buttery hand this time, Robinson's swing, Carson, who is also a buttery hand, and Hart's "If there is love, the sky is also old".

After one tragedy after another, a reliable Pickford finally appeared in this World Cup...
