Chapter 960 A momentary negligence of the heart of the seven lion kings

The boring game made people pay more attention to the current temperature. The fans in the stands kept flashing various things in their hands to create wind to take away the heat brought by the scorching heat.

The commentator has repeatedly mentioned that the current temperature is 36 degrees.At such a high temperature, time seemed to slow down, and it was about to freeze...

The pace of the game is slow, there are many turnovers on both sides, and there are very few exciting offensive and defensive scenes. This is not the game scene that should appear between England and Germany.

Compared with the hot scene before the game, this gap is really big.Only the most die-hard fans can keep their enthusiasm alive in a situation like this.

Like Fat John and the others.Stripped off his shirt, John is leading his partners to sing and applaud, cheering for England.They were positioned in direct sunlight, and all of them were bare-chested, glistening with sweat in the sun, staining the England flags painted on their chests.

"In the heat of 36 degrees, the players on both sides seem to have not woken up for a nap. Look at the ball, Schweinsteiger did not catch up... Is the pass speed fast? Toni Kroos's pass There is no problem."

Schweinsteiger also knew that it was his own problem, and he turned his head to give his Bayern Munich teammate Kroos a thumbs up.

Sammer observed for a while and found that England's counterattack did not pose any threat to the German team's defense, so he adjusted again, let the team press again, and made more use of the ball from the side to find Mario in the penalty area. gomez.At the same time, strengthen long-range shots, and try to use powerful long-range shots to blast England's defensive positions.

After the German team took the initiative, the scene of the game finally changed somewhat.At least one side is taking more shots.

The Germans were noisy again.The Englishman seemed a little unmotivated.

They had gradually gotten used to Twain's tactics, but when facing the Germans, they still hoped that their team could overwhelm the Germans not only in the results, but also in the scene.

"Even if we win, this scene is really frustrating..."

In the stands, some England fans muttered.

Of course, people who have this kind of thinking are definitely not just fans.

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

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

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

"Stop talking nonsense, Theo. Go and do your job well..." captain John Terry pointed to the penalty area and shouted at Walcott, who hadn't settled yet.
"Okay, it's defense. Defense, defense...I get it." Walcott shook his head and walked away nonchalantly.

Walcott performed well in the first game, and he completely squeezed the other two competitors to the bench, securing the position of the main right midfielder.But in the second game, he misfired as well as the team. Now he hopes to prove himself again through the game against the German team and perform well in front of the head coach.

"Keep an eye on your own people! Don't let the target get away!" After teaching Walcott, Terry shouted loudly.

Walcott didn't care about that.Anyway, he is thin and weak, and his height and jumping are not dominant. He just comes in to defend the corner kick, and there is no need for him to really defend anything.

His mind is now only thinking about how to attack.He put all his attention on finding holes in the German defense.

For him, now may be a good opportunity.Didn't the boss always say that the opportunity to attack is hidden in every defense?Now that the German team has won a corner kick, their two central defenders will definitely press up to participate in the attack. The defense is empty, which is an excellent opportunity for him to take advantage of his speed!
Walcott looked at Mertesacker and Westerman who were entangled with Terry and the others in the penalty area. These two men were 1.9 meters eight and one 1.9 meters zero, much taller than Terry and Taylor.They made England's defenders flustered when they stood in front of the goal.Walcott thinks this is good, at least the Germans never thought that their corner kick would become their own opportunity.

Who is the one left in the backcourt?Jensen and Rolfers, plus a goalkeeper.

Rolfers was slow and the only problem was Jensen, a full-back who was also a fast player.If you want to get rid of him, you may have to switch to the other side.Jensen was a left back and was right on Walcott.Walcott is not afraid to compete with others in speed, but at this critical moment, there are as few troubles as possible.He didn't want to be brave either.

Then Walcott began to calculate the tackles he might encounter along the way.In his opinion, the most troublesome part is the starting distance. There are many players on the opponent and the space is small, so his speed advantage cannot be used to the fullest.The best way is to cooperate with teammates, but Walcott is worried that after the ball is handed over to his teammates, the offensive speed will slow down, and his plan will be ruined.At this time, only oneself is the most trustworthy.

You can only use your own skills to pass the opponent's defensive player, and then accelerate through the midfield.

Toni Kroos didn't go into the box but waited for his chance on the outside.He is a pure attacking midfielder, he can't defend, and he is not the kind of player who takes risks in order to stop the attack.If he broke through from him, he would at most stretch his legs.After Walcott chose the breakthrough route, he consciously moved outside, expecting the football to fall to his feet smoothly.

If Joe Hart holds the football, he will immediately raise his hand to ask for the ball. I believe Joe Hart will not give it.If you are cleared by our defenders, it depends on whether your judgment on the landing point is accurate...

When Rahm was setting up the football, there happened to be a group of England fans in the stands behind him.Those fans kept pointing the middle finger at Rambi and scolding him with obscenities that he must understand.But Ram was unmoved, as if there was air behind him.After setting up the football, he got up and backed away, waiting for the referee's whistle.

He waited a little long because there was a little dispute between the players in the penalty area.

Mertesacker at 1.9m1.9, Westermann at 1.8m1.8, Gomez at [-]m[-], and Khedira at [-]m[-], these four big men will have one stop at the gate of England. A kind of silent pressure enveloped the sky in front of England.Terry and Taylor, and Joe Hart were nervous.Mitchell all appeared in front of the goal, playing as a central defender.

"Push them away for me, leave space!" Joe Hart had already made up his mind to attack to pick off or hit the ball. Facing the team with the highest average height in this cup, he really couldn't rest assured.With a height of 1.9 meters [-], he is still confident that he can compete with the elders of the opponent.

The referee called Mitchell and Mertesacker who had a dispute together and warned them not to make redundant hand movements.Both complained that the other had pulled their jerseys.

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

Lahm's ball has a slight spin, but the angle of the spin is obvious when it reaches the goal.

Joe Hart made a misjudgment. After the attack, he realized that the football flew a little far. He couldn't guarantee that he could hold the ball with both hands, so he could only temporarily switch to a single punch in the air!

Across Mitchell and Mertesacker, Hart struggled to hit the football. As for how far he could hit and who he could hit...he couldn't take care of it at this time, what he needed to take care of was his own Center of gravity - In order to hit the ball that flew a little far, he flew out sideways. He completely lost his center of gravity and would fall directly to the ground. If a German team player grabbed the landing point at that time...

The scene he was worried about didn't come true, because Walcott bet on the right spot of the ball and he caught the ball!
good chance!
Walcott cheered in his heart after receiving the ball.Now just need to roll over...

Walcott stopped the ball and turned around. What appeared in front of him was not Toni Kroos, but Rolfes!

Walcott was shocked - when did he come? !

An unexpected opponent lay in front of him, and Walcott couldn't react at all. The ball just stopped was sent directly to the opponent's feet...

bad...

Walcott turned around and was about to grab it, but Rolfes blocked his position.

Rolfes, who stole the ball, didn't waste time. He knew that now was the critical moment. Joe Hart fell in the penalty area. As long as he can seize the opportunity, he may score...

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

The striker who is currently playing for Werder Bremen has a good long-range shooting ability, and now is a good time for him to show his ability!
Podolski stopped Rolfers' ball with his right foot, and then swung his left foot for a long shot!
Although the force is on the spot, the speed of the ball is not slow at all. This is also the strength of German players.

The football roared and found a straight line leading to the goal in the crowd. John Terry stretched out his foot to block it, but kicked in vain.Gomez was still in front of the goal, and when he saw the football coming towards him, he was so frightened that he immediately fell back and fell down. With his height of 1.8 meters [-], he made such a movement within a second It's really hard for him...

No one touched the football, including Joe Hart, who got up from the ground, and the football hit the net straight.

"What a beautiful goal! Podolski's world wave!! We lead 1:0!"

"England finally conceded the ball...Joe Hart made a mistake! This shot is too reckless!"

The commentators from the two countries reacted in opposite directions.The same goes for the fans of the two countries in the stands.The phalanx of German fans stood up from their seats and cheered with arms raised.The England fans put their heads in their hands and couldn't believe their eyes.

The question in the minds of many England fans is gradually magnifying, and the question mark is being straightened a little bit:
Is the German team still so strong?

※ ※ ※

Seeing the football fly into the goal, Tang En lowered his head and cursed. Des Walker beside him was a little excited. He waved his arms angrily and reprimanded Joe Hart for his rash attack.

Summer, who was next door, jumped up the moment the football flew into the goal, and his feet were off the ground, which shows how excited he is.Being able to lead the opponent in such an important game, the hope of qualifying is one more point.

Intense defense can't prevent set kicks... The current situation is very unfavorable for Tang En.If he lets the scoreline go, England will lose the game and hand over the hope of qualifying to others.This is not Tang En's style.

He can only choose to let the team press out and try to equalize the score as soon as possible.If not, the odds will only get worse for England as time goes on.

Now that the first half has been played for 10 minutes, only 15 minutes are left for England.If you can't tie the score before the first half, then you will be in trouble...

※ ※ ※

Joe Hart was in a daze in front of the goal. He really didn't expect that his mistake in attack would result in a goal loss.

And the one who was also in a daze was Walcott. Although no one blamed him, he always thought that the conceded goal had something to do with the sudden loss of the ball at his feet.He believed in himself so much that he didn't expect that Rolfes had already overwhelmed the midfielder when he wasn't paying attention—the German was so bold this time that he received a miraculous effect.

Walcott seemed a little absent-minded in the ensuing game.Tang En, who was watching, kept shaking his head on the sidelines.

Twain has already asked the team to press down and attack appropriately, but with little success.Glaring sun and heat hampered England's normal performance, and Walcott's side was almost paralyzed because of his abnormal performance.The England team, which can only rely on Chris Cohen, can easily be defended by the Germans, and the offensive method of a cross from the wing is too simple. The central defenders of the German team are all tall and big, and their air defense ability is not a big problem. .

Until the end of the first half, the England team did not score a goal and equalized the score.The tide is gradually turning against them.

If the head coach doesn't have the idea of ​​substituting at half-time, then the substitute players will use the time of half-time to warm up.When George Wood was going to warm up, he was stopped by Des Walker.

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

Wood's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Will I play in the second half?"

Walker's answer made him very disappointed. "No, your injury hasn't healed yet, so you don't need to warm up." Walker shook his head and said.

Wood lowered his head sullenly and followed the others into the player tunnel.

The people who were exposed to the scorching sun on the court were dizzy, but many people were refreshed after entering the cool corridor.

Through a wall, the English players could clearly hear the laughter of the Germans. Although they didn't know why they were laughing, it sounded the same to the English players—they were upset, very upset.

"Damn it! I'll make us look good in the second half!" Wayne Rooney, who had almost done nothing in the first half, kicked the partition wall angrily.

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

Rooney looked back and saw Tony Twain's icy face, and the other players also saw the expressions on their heads.It seems that the boss is very angry...
