As a neutral media, many fans have a mentality of supporting the weak.

Compared with Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago are obviously weak, and they are very weak. Many people are looking forward to Trinidad and Tobago playing miracles. So when they were commenting, they put Trinidad and Tobago as the weak, but instead hoped that they would perform better.

This mentality also continued on the court.

Trinidad and Tobago are not very confident in facing England, so they say they want to create miracles before the game, which is also to encourage themselves and the team.

Now that they are on the court, they have a little advantage at the beginning and don’t feel too much pressure at all. As a result, Trinidad and Tobago’s confidence has increased a lot, and they play more and more rapidly. They think that the England team is in poor form. Since their opponents are in poor form, take advantage of the opportunity to score the goal.

That's what they think.

...

But after all, the game has not been played for a long time.

In fact, the England team did not feel that their side was in poor form. The two attacks just now were just a test for them, and they didn't care at all.

Today, England's formation was 451, and Rooney was the only one in the striker's starting lineup.

Midfielders Gerald, Lampard and Zhang Tiehan formed an iron triangle in the middle, and Hargreaves and Joe Cole on the two wings, and Beckham did not start. The difference between this formation and the previous game lies in Zhang Tiehan's position.

In the last game, Zhang Tiehan was behind Lampard and Gerald, and now he was ahead of Gerald and Lampard.

The three central-level forwards are physical players and are good at long-range shooting. This is also Eriksson's tactics and a way for England to score. Hargreaves and Joe Cole are both rare technical players in England. They have excellent foot skills. They can rely on their own abilities, general dribbling and passing the ball to the middle. Rooney is at the front and serves as the first point to attract defense. He is also used by Eriksson as a single forward.

Erikson actually has no way to do this.

If Zhang Tiehan is used as a forward, Rooney will play the second forward, and the effect will not be very good, because Rooney and Zhang Tiehan are basically the same type of forwards. There are very few opportunities for Zhang Tiehan to be with Rooney, and the insertion of Lampard and Gerrard can replace Rooney. In fact, many positions in the frontcourt overlap.

So Eriksen had no choice.

Zhang Tiehan can play a lot of roles in the central defender, because his long shots are always a threat to the opponent, and he actually attracts more defenses in the frontcourt than Rooney attracts at the first point, so Lampard and Gerrard on both sides are likely to find opportunities.

This is a tactic.

The England team played the simplest football in this game. Eriksen did not make too many arrangements for the advancement. He only talked about three methods of scoring - long shots, high-altitude balls and set-up balls. These are England's three powerful weapons and the most effective method of scoring.

England's offense is also aimed at these three points to find opportunities.

Ten minutes before the game, England's overall performance was not very good, because their football was very simple, and the defense of Trinidad and Tobago was not difficult. However, when England players gradually adapted to the game, the frequent offensive effects began to be reflected.

In the eleventh minute, Gerald and Zhang Tiehan completed the cooperation and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Later, Gerald passed the ball to the wing, and Hargreaves was about to pass it as soon as hesitated, but he knocked the ball back to Gerald. Gerald also made a crossing move, but he chose to pass it horizontally to Lampard.

Lampard finally finished his feet!

A long shot that is twenty meters away from the goal!

The ball was very strong and was a little straight. The goalkeeper Heslop rushed out, but bounced into the penalty area. At this time, Zhang Tiehan had already been in the penalty area. The ball bounced quite high, rose into the air and fell high, enough for the players in the penalty area to judge the landing point.

Zhang Tiehan ran to the landing point as soon as possible.

He was in a tight position, holding two general defenders, Lawrence and Sancho, who were Trinidad and Tobago, and then jumped directly and pushed the ball hard!

...

Everyone in the audience watched.

The moment Lampard shot, many people exclaimed. When they saw Heathlop save the ball, the English fans at the scene were somewhat disappointed, but the football bounced into the penalty area.

"There is still a chance!" the English narrator shouted.

Next, the fans saw Zhang Tiehan appear at the football landing point, and their hearts beat faster. Zhang Tiehan... When it comes to Zhang Tiehan, almost all fans who are familiar with him can think of his two powerful weapons of scoring - heading and long-range shot. Now is the opportunity to head.

Trinidad and Tobago have two centre-backs on defense.

But what are the two of them?

Zhang Tiehan is able to support two central defenders from Manchester United, Chelsea and other teams in the Premier League, and has pushed the ball into the goal more than once. Now he is standing in the World Cup, facing two central defenders from Trinidad and Tobago, all England fans are looking forward to it.

Zhang Tiehan jumped up, and their hearts also jumped up.

Then they watched Zhang Tiehan's head contact with the football. No one blinked at that moment. No one wanted to miss this scene, and all the cameras also pointed at it.

A fierce collision.

A drop of sweat on the cheek is clearly visible!

The football instantly changed direction and rushed towards the goal of Trinidad and Tobago. At this moment, Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Heathlop had just stood firm. He watched the football fly over again and gritted his teeth to make a save.

But after all, my body is a little unstable.

He judged the right direction, but was unable to successfully save the ball again.

The football flew into the goal from front of his hands, and then his body halfway fell to the grass. The only thing he could do was turn his head and look at the football falling into the goal, with a helpless look in his eyes.

The ball still went in.
Chapter completed!
