Chapter 121: A momentary negligence

The dull game makes people care more about the current temperature. The fans in the stands kept flashing all kinds of things in their hands to create the wind to get rid of the heat brought by the scorching heat.

The commentator has repeatedly mentioned that the current temperature is thirty-six degrees several times. At such a high temperature, time seems to have become slower and is about to solidify...

The game is slow, the two sides make many mistakes, and there are only a few exciting offensive and defensive scenes. This is not the game scene that should appear between England and Germany.

Compared with the hot scenes before the game, this gap is really big. Only the most hardcore fans can still maintain their passion under such circumstances.

For example, Fatty John and the others. After taking off their shirts and showing off their fat body, John was leading his partners to sing and applaud and cheering for England. Their location was just in direct sunlight, and everyone was bare-chested with breasts, sweat was shiny in the sun, making the English flag painted on their chests dirty.

"In the high temperature of 36 degrees, both players seemed to have not woken up and had a nap. Look at this ball, Schweinsteiger didn't catch up... Is it because the pass speed is fast? There is no problem with Tony Klos' passing."

Schweinsteiger also knew that it was his own problem, so he turned around and gave a thumbs up to Bayern Munich teammate Klos who passed the ball to him.

Summer observed for a while and found that England's counterattack did not pose any threat to the German team's defense line. So he adjusted again, let the team push back, and used the ball on the wing to find Mario Gomez in the penalty area. At the same time, he strengthened long shots and tried to use powerful long shots to break out England's defensive positions.

After the German team took the initiative, the game finally changed a little. At least one side's shots increased.

The Germans became noisy again. The English seemed a little unhappy.

They have gradually become accustomed to Don't have the same trick, but when facing the Germans, they still hope that their team will not only be in the results. They can also overwhelm the Germans on the scene.

"Even if we can win, this scene is really disheartening..."

In the stands, an English fan muttered.

Of course, people who think this way are definitely not just fans.

"I don't think we can always wait for others to attack with our heads like this!" Taking advantage of a defensive corner kick, Walcott complained loudly in the crowd.

"What do you want to say, Teo?" a teammate asked him.

"We should take the initiative and try to attack!" Walcott said with his fists clenched.

"Stop talking nonsense, Teo. Go and do your job..." Captain John Terry pointed at the penalty area and shouted at Walcott who had not yet fallen.

"Okay, it's defense. Defensive, defense... I get it." Walcott shook his head and walked away indifferently.

In the first game, Walcott performed well and completely squeezed the other two competitors to the bench and sat firmly on the main right forward. But in the second game, he collectively silenced like the team. Now he hopes to re-prove himself through the game against the German team and perform well in front of the head coach.

"Focus on your own people! Don't let the target run away!" After teaching the lesson Walcott. Terry shouted loudly.

Walcott doesn't care about this. Anyway, he is thin and has no advantage in height and bounces. He just comes in and acts like a corner kick defense, and he doesn't need to really defend anything.

He was thinking about how to attack now. He focused all his attention on finding the Germans' defensive loopholes.

For him, now may be a good opportunity. Didn’t the boss always say that the offensive opportunity is hidden in every defense? Now the German team has won a corner kick. Their two central defenders will definitely press forward to participate in the offense. The defense is empty, which is an excellent opportunity for him to play to his speed advantage!

Walcott looked at Mertesacker and Westerman who were entangled with Terry and the others in the penalty area. The two were 1.98 meters tall. One was 1.90 meters tall, much taller than Terry and Taylor. They stood in front of the goal and caused the England defenders to panic. Walcott felt that this was good. At least the Germans would never have thought that their corner kick would become their own chance.

Who are the people who stayed in the backcourt? Jensen and Rollfies, plus a goalkeeper.

Rollfies is very slow, and the only trouble is Jensen, who is also a fast player. If you want to get rid of him, you may have to switch to the other side. Jensen is the left back, just in time to face Walcott right forward. Walcott is not afraid of competing with others for speed, but at such a critical moment. He doesn't want to show off.

Then Walcott began to calculate the blockades he might encounter along the way. In his opinion, the most troublesome thing is the distance from the start-up site, with more players and small space, and his speed advantage cannot play the most. The best way is to cooperate with his teammates, but Walcott is worried that after handing over his ball to his teammates, the offensive speed will slow down and his plan will be ruined. At this time, only he is the one who can trust the most.

Only by using your skills to play against the opponent's defensive players. Then accelerate through the midfield.

Tony Close did not go to the penalty area. Instead, he was waiting for an opportunity outside. He was a pure midfielder and did not defend. He was not the kind of player who took risks to stop the attack. If he broke through him, he would at most stretch his legs. After Walcott chose the breakthrough route, he moved consciously outside, hoping that the football could fall smoothly at his feet.

If Joe Hart holds the football, he will raise his hand to ask for the ball as soon as possible. I believe Joe Hart will not refuse to give it. If our defender clears it, it depends on whether his judgment of the landing point is accurate...

When Ram was placing the football field, there were a group of English fans in the stands behind him. The fans kept pointing at Ramby's middle finger and scolding him with swear words he must have understood. But Ram was unmoved, as if there was air behind him. After placing the football field, he got up and retreated, waiting for the referee's whistle tone.

He waited a little longer because the players on both sides had a small dispute in the penalty area.

Mertesack, 1.98 meters tall, Westerman, 1.90 meters tall, Gomez, and 1.89 meters tall, the four big men stood in front of England's goal. A silent force enveloped the sky in front of England's goal. Terry, Taylor, and Joe Hart were both nervous. Mitcher appeared in front of the goal and played the central defender.

"Push them away and leave space!" Joe Hart had made up his mind to take off or hit the ball. Facing the team with the highest average height in this cup, he really couldn't rest assured. He was 1.96 meters tall, and he was still confident that he could compete with the opponent's handsome men.

The referee called Mitcher and Mertesack, who had a dispute, and warned them not to have extra hand movements. But both of them complained that the other party had pulled their jerseys.

After the referee sent them back, he made a gesture to Ram that he could serve.

Ram's ball has a slight external rotation, but the external rotation angle is very obvious when it comes to the goal.

Joe Hart made a mistake in his judgment. After attacking, he found that the football was flying a little far away. He could not guarantee that he could hold the ball with both hands, so he could only temporarily change it to a single boxing in the air!

Through Mitcher and Mertsacker, Hart struggled to play the football. As for how far he could play and who to hit... he couldn't care about it at this time. What he needed to take into account was his center of gravity - in order to hit the ball that was flying a little far, he flew horizontally. He had completely lost the center of gravity and would fall to the ground. If a German player grabbed the landing point at that time...

The scene he was worried about was not realized because Walcott bet on the right place of the ball. He received the ball!

Good opportunity!

Walcott cheered in his heart after receiving the ball.  Now, just need to pass...

Walcott stopped the ball and turned around. It was not Tony Close that appeared in front of him, but Rollfyth!

Walcott was shocked - when did he come?!

The unexpected opponent was crossing his ground, and Walcott had no way to react. The ball that had just stopped was sent directly to the opponent's feet...

Oops...

Walcott turned around and was about to grab it, but Rollfyth got stuck.

Rollfies, who cut the ball, did not waste time. He knew that it was the critical moment. Joe Hart fell in the penalty area. As long as he could seize the opportunity, he could score a goal...

He passed the ball to Podolsky who did not enter the penalty area to join in the fun.

This striker, who currently plays for Werder Bremen, has good long-range shooting ability, and now is a good time for him to use his abilities!

Podolski stopped Rollfies' ball with his right foot, and then shot from the far side with his left foot!

Although he was exerting force on the spot, the ball speed was not slow at all, which was also the strength of German players.

The football roared and found a straight line to the goal in the crowd. John Terry stretched out his foot to stop it, but kicked in vain. Gomez was still in front of the goal and saw the football coming towards him. He was so scared that he quickly leaned back and fell down. With his height of 1.89 meters, it was really difficult for him to make such a move in a second...

No one encountered football, including Joe Hart, who had climbed up from the ground. The football hit the net straight.

"What a beautiful goal! Podolsky's world wave!! We are leading 1:0!"

"England finally lost the ball...Joe Hart made a mistake in attacking! This hit was too rash!"

The commentators of the two countries responded in completely opposite ways. The fans of the two countries in the stands were the same. The German fans stood up from their seats and raised their arms to cheer. The English fans hugged their heads with their hands. They couldn't believe their eyes.

The question in the minds of many English fans is gradually amplifying, and the question mark is being straightened little by little:

Is the German team still so strong?

Seeing the football flew into the goal, Donne lowered his head and cursed swear words. However, Dides Walker next to him was a little excited. He waved his arms angrily and scolded Joe Hart for his rash attack.

Samer, next door, jumped up the moment the football flew into the goal, and his feet were off the ground, which showed how excited he was.   The hope of qualifying in such an important game was one point.

Even if he has intensive defense, he can't defend against set pieces... The situation is very unfavorable for Don En. If he allows this score to develop, England will lose the game and leave the hope of qualifying to others. This is not Don En's style.

He can only choose to let the team push out and strive to equalize the score as soon as possible. If not, as time goes by, the situation will only be more unfavorable to England.

Now the first half has been held for thirty minutes, leaving only fifteen minutes for England. If you can't equalize the score before the first half, it will be troublesome...

Joe Hart was a little dazed in front of the goal. He really didn't expect that his attack mistake would actually lead to a loss of the ball.

And some of the same trances are Walcott. Although no one blames him, he always thinks that the conceding is related to the sudden break of the ball under his feet. He trusts himself too much, and he didn't expect that Rollfies had already beaten the midfield when he was not paying attention. This time the Germans were so bold that they received miraculous results.

In the subsequent game, Walcott seemed a little absent-minded. Tang En kept shaking his head on the sidelines.

Donn had asked the team to push out the attack appropriately, but the results were very little. The dazzling sunshine and hot weather hindered England's normal performance, and Walcott was almost paralyzed because of his misperforming performance. He could only rely on Chris Cohen's England team could easily be defended by the Germans, and one of the crosses from the wing was too single. The German central defenders were all tall and big, and there was no big problem with air defense.

Until the end of the first half, England did not score and equalized the score. The situation is gradually detrimental to them.

If the coach does not think of a substitution during the halftime break, the substitutes will use the halftime break to warm up. When George Wood also planned to warm up, Des Walker stopped him.

"You go back to the locker room with them, George." Walker said.

Wood's heart thumped and asked, "Will I play in the second half?"

Walker's answer disappointed him very much. "No, your injury has not healed yet, don't warm up." Walker shook his head and said.

Wood lowered his head and followed the others into the player corridor in a depressed mood.

The hot sun on the court made people dizzy and entered the cool corridor, which made many people feel energetic.

Through a wall, English players could clearly hear the German laughter. Although they didn't know what they were laughing because of, it sounded the same to English players - they were unhappy and very unhappy.

"I will definitely let us see it in the second half!" Wayne Rooney, who was almost ineffective in the first half, angrily kicked the wall.

"Don't vent your extra energy on the wall." A cold voice came from behind.
