Chapter 678: Pressure from sponsors!

After Pique and Peter stood up, the two were bleeding

Slow motion shows the two people's heads bumping together, Peter's nose breaks, and Pique's eyebrow bone breaks

German state TV said: This is a tragic game

The two went off the court to deal with the injury. The game continued. England launched an attack from the left. Ashley Cole was very active and passed the football across the middle ten meters away from the baseline. The experienced Puyol stuck Peter to clear the football.

Terry near the center circle controlled the football, and a big foot hanged into the penalty area. Casillas jumped high and hugged the football tightly in his arms.

England's offensive was blocked by the Spanish again and again, but their defense was done well and they did not give Spain a chance to launch a quick counterattack.

England pressed very well in the midfield and frontcourt. Even if they couldn't grab the football, they would never let Spain cooperate smoothly.

The score leads, Spain maintains a good mentality, and they are not known for their quick counterattacks.

After Spain got the ball, it advanced layer by layer, and penetrated into England with difficulty. In the 45th minute of the first half, Spain moved the football from the left to the right, and Ramos, who had stepped forward to assist, passed the football across the middle, and the football went to Villa in the penalty area.

Upson's right shoulder stuck Villa's left shoulder and did not give him a chance to move. Terry took advantage of this and almost took a step forward and kicked the football into the midfield with a big foot. Two English central defenders worked together to resolve the crisis.

Rooney, near the center circle, flew up and competed for the header with Puyol. The football was pushed back by Puyol. Lampard took two steps forward alertly and controlled the football.

Quick counterattack

Lampard dribbled the ball and advanced quickly, Alonso came forward, and the Blues Ironman divided the football to the left. Gillard did not stop the ball, and directly passed it with a long distance. The football flew to the left side of the Spanish penalty area. Peter rushed towards the football like a cheetah.

Puyol ran desperately. At the moment Peter stopped the ball, his left shoulder hit Peter's right shoulder hard. Peter was affected by this and did not stop the football and rolled the football out of the bottom line.

boom

There was a sound of marvel at the stadium.

Milan Sports Station commentator Luca sighed: Wang is not on the court, and England's playing style is completely different. If he is on the court, Gillard would not launch a quick counterattack with a long pass, but would hand the football over to him.

England needs a player who can get balls, break through and pass the ball in the frontcourt, and Wang Chacha is such a player. Without him, England's offensive threat has indeed been reduced a lot.

Will Capello take the risk of replacing him in the second half?

This possibility is very high

German state TV said: Both sides have done a very good defensive work and have not given the other side too many opportunities. This is the time to test the attackers of both sides.

In comparison, despite the difficulty in advancing, Spain was still quite patient and calm, while England seemed a little impatient and frequently launched attacks with long passes in an attempt to attack the Spanish defense line.

But there is Puyol on the Spanish back line, and it is difficult for England to break through his defense. Puyol's role is equivalent to Cannavaro of Italy in the 2006 World Cup, and he is the defensive needle of the defense line.

Three minutes of stoppage time ended, and the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half, and the first half ended.

Spanish National Television commentator said loudly: The first half is over, Spain temporarily led by a one-to-zero score with Villa's goal

Although Spain was stubbornly blocked by England and played extremely hard, we scored a lucky goal, which was crucial.

This goal can make them play more calmly and confidently. Come on, Spain, the dawn of victory has waved to us.

Sky TV commentator Kent sighed: This is the case with football matches. An accident can change the situation on the court. Villa's unexpected goal changed the mentality of English players to a certain extent. They became impatient and were not patient enough when attacking.

I hope they will be more patient when attacking in the second half.

From a tactical perspective, Capello's high-pressure did have a very good effect. Spain's previous smooth cooperation was gone, and it lost its former sharpness.

After all, defense cannot bring victory, and the Italians have to start solving the offensive problem in the second half.

Come on, England, you still have a whole half time

While major TV stations were busy summarizing the first half and looking forward to the second half, players from both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the final battle in the second half.

The atmosphere in the Spanish locker room was both warm and a little nervous. A goal lead gave them the opportunity to stand on the top of the world, but the more they reached this point, the more nervous they became.

The old coach Boske's words dissolved their tension:

Children, I know you have a lot of thoughts in your mind now, but the more you get to this point, the more calm you must be. We cannot forget the semi-finals between England and the Netherlands

When everyone thinks that the Netherlands will make it to the finals again, England will perform a miraculous comeback. As long as the whistle at the end of the game does not sound, the game will not end, and the result will not be confirmed.

England has players who can change the score at any time, and any carelessness will make us fall into despair

We must be mentally prepared for a hard battle in the second half

The Spanish player's impetuous heart fell again, and Ramos said loudly: The coach is right, the more we should be careful when we reach this point, even if we do every link perfectly

Pike, who had a band-aid sticking on his eyebrows, nodded and said: Coach, don’t worry, we know how to do it.

If Wang plays in the second half, we will definitely keep a close eye on him.

Boske nodded with satisfaction.

The atmosphere in the English locker room was a little depressed, and Capello, who was sitting on the chair in the middle of the locker room, closed his eyes slightly. On the way back to the locker room, the assistant told him that FA Chairman Trisman hoped that the Italians would give Wang Rui a chance to play in the second half.

Trisman did not directly say that this was the sponsor, but Capello knew that this must be the sponsor.

Someone pointed at his work, and this feeling was very bad. Capello took two deep breaths to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

He began to think about the second half.

Switching Wang Rui is undoubtedly a risk, but from the perspective of shirking responsibility, changing to Wang Rui is the best way. You see, I use all the players I can use.

But he really doesn't want to use this method to shirk responsibility for failure, but wants to win the final victory and lead England to the top of the world.
