Chapter 444 Enough to pull the wind!(1/2)

When Lampard shot, the stadium was already reminded of exclamations. Everyone was staring at the direction of Trinidad and Tobago's penalty area. They felt a little sorry for the football being saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Heathlop.---

"This shot is a little more than the top and you'll get in!" said the English commentator.

Other commentators also expressed the same appreciation for this shot, which was the most threatening shot since the opening. It was a long shot from Lampard, which was a major means of England's goal. After seeing the football being saved, many people began to talk about Lampard, but they did not expect the football to bounce into the penalty area again.

As a result, they saw Zhang Tiehan at the foot of the football.

When was he in that position? Why did he appear in that position? Can Trinidad and Tobago defend him? How will this young man worth over 100 million yuan perform in the face of two defensive players?

At this moment, many people's minds were filled with questions.

The next moment they saw Zhang Tiehan jump calmly to complete a powerful header. Goalkeeper Heathlop could only sweep symbolically, and then watched the football fly into the goal.

The ball has entered!!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!" The English commentator shouted excitedly. He didn't care what the England team played too simply before, and passed the ball straight, and Trinidad and Tobago performed better, and what he cared about was the score, England's goal.

As an English commentator, there is no need to analyze so much!

England scored a goal, and he had reason to be happy and excited, "The ball was scored! Goooal!! Zhang! He scored for England! A wonderful header! 1:0, England took the lead! Just over ten minutes into the game. Zhang scored a goal for England, which was his second goal in this World Cup!"

"Two games! Two goals!"

"Zhang maintained his high efficiency in the club. Some players performed well in the club, but their performance was not much worse when they came to the national team. Many fans were worried that Zhang would be like this, but he proved everything with his performance. In the last game against Paraguay, Zhang assisted two assists and scored one goal. He was the best player in the game. We can expect him to still perform well in this game!"

The English commentator said excitedly, and the other commentators also commented on the goal-

"England rewrites the score in the twelve minutes of the opening game, and Trinidad and Tobago are not easy to play!"

"It looks like England players are in good shape."

"Although they don't have any advantage in the situation and many passes are very direct, the personal abilities of English players are not comparable to those of their opponents. Trinidad and Tobago do not have many defensive methods against Zhang."

"Lampard's shot was also wonderful!"

"The score has been rewritten, and the next situation will be very unfavorable to Trinidad and Tobago!"

"Zhang's second goal. Maybe we can expect him to have more goals in this game!"

...

With the goal, the Franks Stadium in Nuremberg also became excited. The stadium was specially renovated in the World Cup. It was a work done by Germany to face the World Cup. The stadium has more than 5,000 seats, and some interior decoration has also been changed to make the team look brand new.

In the shining stadium, England fans in the stands were cheering for the goal.

They had previously felt that the English team performed a little badly. They did not have much advantage in ball control, and even threatened the ball did not suppress their opponents. They thought that the players were in poor overall shape, which reminded them of the media's comments on the England team. In the last game against Paraguay, the media believed that in fact, except for Zhang Tiehan, England were somewhat out of shape. So they began to worry about the game.

What if Zhang Tiehan is not in good condition?

Many people have similar ideas, but they didn't expect that so quickly, Zhang Tiehan scored in just twelve minutes of the game. Moreover, this attack seems that the rest of England are in good shape!

This made England fans very happy, and the scene also became excited with the goal.

As fans, the idea is very simple, especially on a stage where the world is bigger than this kind of big. They don’t require the team to play beautifully or style. What they care more about is the result.

Victory is the most important thing!

If you can win, it doesn’t matter if the game is ugly. This is the simple idea of ​​the fans. England’s performance was not very good before, but they scored a goal first, which is also the rhythm of victory!

So they let go of their minds to cheer and celebrate.

England coaching seat.

Head coach Erikson also stood up from his seat, walked to the sidelines and slapped. Seeing the team scored, the players on the bench stood up and cheered on the sidelines. Erikson's movements were the same as everyone, because he was also very excited and happy. Although he felt that the game was basically no suspense, his opponent also had a chance.

There is no need to win football games, accidents happen from time to time, just like Trinidad and Tobago could tie Sweden in the last game. Sweden suppressed the whole game and kept shooting, but it didn't break through Trinidad and Tobago's goal. As a result, the two teams stood at 0:0, and Trinidad and Tobago scored a point.

Don't underestimate this point!

There are only three games in the World Cup group stage, and one more point is likely to allow Trinidad and Tobago to retain hope of appearance. If England and Trinidad and Tobago draw, the team may even fail to qualify in the group.

This is the World Cup group stage.

The right to qualify in three games is not divided between home and away games, which is very cruel.

Now seeing Zhang Tiehan's goal, Eriksen felt a little assured. With this goal, it would be not easy for Trinidad and Tobago to tie. Then the probability of the team winning has increased from 80% to 95%, so he is naturally quite happy.

On the contrary, Trinidad and Tobago coach Ben Hack were a little depressed.

He originally thought the team performed well, but he saw England scoring the first goal. The difference between the two before and after was really big. Before the game, he swore to win, but now Benhack lost a lot of confidence and was scored a goal so quickly. It was a bit difficult to tie. And looking at the English team's offense, how could he look like he was not in shape?

Could it be...they played football like that on purpose?

Thinking of this, Benhack was a little confused.

...

Various media have not had such complex ideas. They watch the game just to report it. Many reporters are in the media seats. While watching the game, they record the game process in words.

Most of their previous records were, "England did not perform well at the start, they did not gain an advantage, both teams had their own attacks, and the scene was equal..."

Seeing the goal, they immediately added, "England made an excellent attack in the 12th minute, and Lampard shot from the penalty area and was blocked by the goalkeeper. Zhang used a header to knock on the goalkeeper to open the goal."

But many reporters thought about it, this turning point was too fast?

So they modified the previous content, "England played very steadily at the beginning and did not rush to attack. The two teams were tied in the scene, but the England team's offense was hiding its edge, as long as they could find an opportunity..."

Just as the reporters in the media table were pondering about the content of the report, the England team on the field had already ended the celebration. Because the game had just started, the goal was a bit fast. So their celebration lasted only half a minute. When the two teams stood up, the game started again.

At this time, the mentality of the two teams changed.

England team naturally has different goals. With a goal advantage, the players have a much calmer mentality. They are the leading side. The offense and defense are very stable; Trinidad and Tobago players think that they need to strengthen some defense. Think about the ball just now, it was caused by defensive mistakes, otherwise Lampard would not easily find opportunities, and Zhang Tiehan would not easily head the ball in the penalty area. Under the command of the captain, they strengthened some defenses, and they were not in a hurry to equalize the score, after all, the game has just begun.

So in the next game, both teams seemed much more calm.

England are still playing simple football. Simple football performance on the field means passing the ball straight, and correspondingly, there are fewer horizontal passes. England does not actively control the ball, especially in the midfield. Erikson emphasized this point in particular, "pass forward if you have the opportunity", which is their offensive method.

If you have the chance, pass it forward and find opportunities.

Three points are enough to describe the English team's tactics, but this simple tactic has a fatal disadvantage, that is, the passing routine is easy to be understood by the opponent, so Trinidad and Tobago are naturally much easier to defend. Just like in the last game they played against Sweden, the Swedish team's offense was very simple and their defense was easy to do.

The only difference is that the English players have stronger personal abilities.

They play simple football, and their scoring methods are long shots, long passes and rushes, etc. They have not said that they will pass the football into the penalty area and then look for opportunities to shoot directly. Most of the ways to find opportunities are direct confrontation, but the simple football of the England team is very threatening, because the personal abilities of England players are quite strong.

For example, Gerald and Lampard in the midfield.

The football played by these two players was very simple and their feet were not outstanding, but both of them were very versatile. Whether it was confrontation, passing ability or defense, etc., they were very good at all abilities. Trinidad and Tobago's single players, whether they were defense, offense or snatching the ball, were very disadvantaged when fighting with the two teams, and it was difficult to gain any advantage.

Not to mention Zhang Tiehan in the middle, no one can catch the ball from his feet.

Rooney in the frontcourt, Hargreaves and Joecole on the wing, are also very outstanding. Hargreaves and Joecole on the wing, are also very outstanding in both wings. Their extraordinary skills, dribbling, control balls, and passing abilities are very good. In terms of defense, facing the attack on the wing, Trinidad and Tobago players head more, and they must also be cautious in defending Rooney in the middle.

To sum up, almost every frontcourt player in England can suppress Trinidad and Tobago.

The England team is completely using their personal abilities to ‘bully’ Trinidad and Tobago.

But the football played by England is very simple. The football on their own side is simple, and Trinidad and Tobago are also simple to defend, but this simplicity makes Trinidad and Tobago have no way to defend. It is like a competition between two warriors. One side has one force to break through thousands of tricks. No matter how exquisite the moves the other side has no choice, they can compete with you directly. You know his moves and can use more exquisite moves, but what is the function?

England's offensive method is very simple, but this simplicity is simply impossible to crack!

At least. Trinidad and Tobago do not have the exquisite trick to crack, so they can only fight head-on with England. This is the current situation of the two teams.

Soon, even Ben Huck on the sidelines saw England's tactics, which was entirely based on the personal ability advantages of England to suppress his team. Faced with such tactics, Ben Huck had no choice but to do anything. After all, England's personal ability is indeed better, so they could only drag it to fight England head-on.

Fortunately, simple football is easy to crack. The English team made a lot of attacks without success. After all, not every player is Zhang Tiehan, and there are quite a lot of threatening attacks!

When England scored the ball into the penalty area, no, it was often at the front of the penalty area. Trinidad and Tobago had to face a threatening shot, especially Zhang Tiehan. So far, he has only completed three shots, one header directly. The other two long shots hit the goal frame, and one even counterattacked on the post, which made Trinidad and Tobago sweat in a cold sweat.

If there is another goal, their hopes for victory will be even slim.

Perhaps they weren't pursuing victory anymore. Benhack still held a glimmer of hope in his heart at the opening, praying that the team would create a miracle to defeat England, and now his hope is to equalize the score. Then it would be enough to hold the goal until the end of the game, and he would be content with one point.

But soon he had no hope.

This was in the 31st minute. Hargreaves broke through to the bottom line on the side and directly passed the ball. Zhang Tiehan, Gerald and Rooney rushed up to grab the ball in the middle to grab the ball. This was one of the simplest offensive routines for England. Passing the ball on the side, three people in the middle, and three people in the middle, and three people in the back. This time Rooney grabbed the front point, and he directly headed the ball to the left of the goal.

Goalkeeper Heathlop performed bravely again and saved the ball with both hands.

The football fell to Hargreaves who ran from the bottom line to the penalty area. He continued to pass the ball to the front of the small penalty area. Zhang Tiehan and Gerald continued to move forward. Gerald grabbed the first position and shot directly.

Facing this shot, Heathlop was powerless no matter how brave Heathlop was, so he could only watch the football flew into the goal again.

The ball went in again!

The English fans were in a state of madness again, but the England team had been frequently threatening Trinidad and Tobago before. They were prepared for the goal, but this could not resist the joy of scoring, and the scene was still in a carnival.

This goal belongs to Gerald!

Gerald scored one goal in the last game, and another goal in this game.

Gerald was also very happy to have two goals in two consecutive games in the first World Cup. He and Zhang Tiehan hugged each other enthusiastically. Of course, he did not forget to give Hargreaves a hug.

Hargreaves is a very special player in England - he is the only star in the Bundesliga on the 23-man roster of England.

Hargreaves was not a pure Englishman. His father was English and his mother was Welsh. Hargreaves was not born in these two places, but in Calgary, Canada.

When he was a teenager, he was only interested in ice hockey and basketball, but later he gradually became interested in football. Later, Hargreaves performed well in the Calgary Hills, the team where he was born, so he was introduced to the club for trial training by a local coach who had a deep relationship with Bayern. He was later taken in. At that time, Hargreaves was only 16 years old.

Hargreaves played for two and a half years for the U19 Youth Team and stayed in the reserve team for half a year. In 1998, Bayern U19 Youth Team entered the German Cup final at the Rote-erde Stadium in Dortmund, but unfortunately lost to Dortmund in the final penalty shootout.

After 2000, Hargreaves became one of the players of Bayern Munich first team. On August 12, 2000, Hargreaves participated in the Bundesliga first match, replacing Yankel in the 83rd minute of the match against Hertha Berlin. His first start was against Onthacheng on September 16 of the same year.

In the same year, Hargreaves was selected for England's Under-21 national team, and Hargreaves decided to represent England.
