Chapter 473 Fooled

The French team consciously strengthened its offense, and England could only passively strengthen its defense. The French fans at the Luzhniki Stadium became excited, and the loud chants they created gradually suppressed the English fans.

"aoooaoaooaooooooo——"

Twenty minutes into the game, Pogba, who was responsible for conceding the ball, is still relatively calm. He did not pass the ball blindly, but consciously observed the movement of his teammates and the defensive positioning of the English players when getting the ball. .

Li Qing's running distance dropped significantly after scoring the goal, and Kanter was in a dilemma again. He didn't know whether he should give up paying attention to Li Qing during the team's offense.

Countless games in the past have proven that giving up attention to Li Qing will result in punishment. The problem is that Li Qing is injured now. If he pays too much attention to Li Qing, it will affect the team's overall offense. If he does not pay attention to Li Qing, he is worried that Li Qing will Played an unexpected role in the process of switching from defense to offense.

There is no regret medicine in the world, and Kanter doesn't dare to gamble.

After all, this is the World Cup final.

Missing it will be a lifelong regret!

Four years later, as long as he maintains good condition, he will be able to represent France in the World Cup, but who knows whether better young players will emerge in four years?

A new generation replaces an old one, this is an eternal law in world football.

However, if he does not participate in the offense, the team's offense will always be meaningless. After all, Matuidi's role is very limited, and it is difficult to share Pogba's pressure on the offensive organization end.

England's defense is very good. France's offensive organization is very difficult to rely on Pogba alone. Griezmann and Mbappe consciously return to the ribs to organize the attack in series, giving up the wing position. Lucas Hernan Des and Pavard respectively moved forward to participate in the main attack.

Lucas Hernandez specializes in stealing and blocking the ball. Crossing is a weakness. The cross he sent from the left basically did not reach Giroud's head and was either blocked by Arnold or cleared by the England central defender.

Pavard's technical characteristics are not much different from Lucas Hernandez. He has a high football intelligence and can play any position in the defense. However, the high-quality crosses that the French team currently needs most are a little less interesting.

As a result, there was a phenomenon on the court where the French team kept passing from the two wingers but could not find Giroud.

The football was pushed out by Maguire again. French coach Deschamps came to the sidelines and shouted at the players on the field, indicating that they should change their offensive method.

Apart from crosses from the wing, there are not many offensive methods that the French team can rely on. Their ability to advance from the group stage to the finals is largely due to the forward's ability to control the transition from defense to offense.

Now that France is leading the attack, England simply does not leave the breakthrough space needed by Mbappe and Griezmann.

Pogba is very accomplished in dribbling, long shots, short passes, through balls and long passes. The problem is that he currently lacks space to display. Everyone knows that he is the core of the French team's midfield, and they have played against each other in the Premier League all year round. , has a very good understanding of Pogba’s technical characteristics.

The French team had possession of the ball for a long time and was unable to threaten Pickford in guarding the goal. The on-site director took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to show Deschamps a close-up shot. China Channel 5 commentator Howie changed the subject: "The French team during this period is There was no possession of the ball but no direct shooting opportunities. If I remember correctly, the French team should not have completed a shot that hit the goal. "

"The French team's main tactic for advancing to the World Cup finals is quick counterattacks. Now that England is leading the score, taking the lead in defensive counterattacks means that the French team can only choose to attack. After all, in football matches, both sides cannot defend."

Commentator Xu Yang changed the subject: "The French team's attack is hindered largely because of its slow transfer speed, which gives England's defensive players enough time to defend. If Kante can join the French team's offense and enrich their tactics, the result will be It’s definitely different.”

How could Deshang not think of the problems that Xu Yang could think of?

Although Li Qing played with an injury, it does not mean that he does not have the ability to counterattack with the ball. Once he counterattacks with the ball, he will expand the score.

Kante didn't have the instructions from the head coach, so he naturally didn't dare to make any mistakes. Ten minutes passed with the French team taking the initiative. At the 28th minute of the game, Pogba didn't do anything to see his teammates. In this position, there was no teammate running the ball behind him, so he had to use the change of rhythm of his upper body to shake off the defensive player Dell, and shoot angrily from 30 meters away from the goal.

The long-range shot was powerful and heavy, but unfortunately the sight was not adjusted properly, so the anti-aircraft gun was fired directly.

"hahahahhaaaaa——"

The England fans in the audience subconsciously burst into laughter, mocking Pogba for his wild shot.

Facing the roar of laughter, Pogba took a mouthful of phlegm in dissatisfaction and spit it on the grass, venting his strong dissatisfaction with the English fans in the audience.

At this moment, French coach Deschamps came to the sidelines again and shouted at Kante: "N'Golo!"

Kanter, who followed Li Qing back, turned his head and looked around. His eyes lit up when he saw the change in coach Deschamps' gestures, and he suddenly felt like a spring breeze!

I no longer have to be a bodyguard for Li Qing!

So cool!

When Li Qing saw Kanter, he wanted to raise his arms and shout. He said with a smile but not a smile: "N'Golo, don't you want to defend me anymore? I tell you very responsibly, I am really not injured. I fell to the ground after scoring. The head coach deliberately asked me to do that. Really, you have to believe me. I'm only seventeen years old. I can't lie to you. If you don't follow me, if I score again, you will be fully responsible."

Kanter glanced at Li Qing and snorted coldly: "Even if I, N'Golo Kanter, believe that there are ghosts in this world, I still won't believe what you say! You're not hurt? If you're not hurt, why should I chop it live!"

"What?"

Faced with Li Qing's suspicious look, Kanter wanted to verify it on the spot, but considering the current environment, there was no way to prove his innocence, so he turned his head arrogantly, retreated to central defenders Varane and Umtiti, and waited. England attack.

As for defending Li Qing, let’s talk about it when the ball is at our feet.

The football came to Li Qing's feet after multiple passes. He, who attracted much attention, did not break through, but passed the football back to Henderson who was passing the ball.

Just like that, after a few passes, the ball rolled to Harry Kane, who chose to force a turn and shoot under Varane's close defense.

This kind of shot is very difficult, and due to the close defense, the shot missed the goal post.

French captain Lloris took a goal kick from the backcourt. After many continuous passes, the football came to Pogba's feet. Compared with the past attack, this time it was more layered, with double midfielders Matuidi and Kante. The widening gave Pogba a lot of space to pass the ball, and with Griezmann and Mbappé moving forward in the ribs, the French offense became three-dimensional.

Pogba and his teammates continued to pass and move. While running, he spotted Griezmann moving forward into the space and passed the ball behind him.

"wowoowowoooooo——"

Accompanied by the exclamations made by the England fans, Kyle Walker turned around very quickly. He turned around and made a hook to clear the ball, kicking the football out of the penalty area. Dale, who was just guarding there, headed the ball back. According to Harry's memory, Kane's position was such that he headed the ball over.

Pogba forced the ball past him immediately, but Harry Kane was experienced in the game and got stuck first and then got the ball.

Kanter did not pounce on Li Qing this time. Instead, he and Pogba pressed Harry Kane to see if they could intercept the ball.

Harry Kane handles the ball very coquettishly. He leans to the right, leans on Pogba, and knocks the ball forward from Dier with the heel of his left foot.

Of course his knocking the ball is not blind, but... targeted!

The on-site director switched the camera, and China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "Li Qing——"

Suddenly, Kanter realized that something was wrong.

I have the same feeling and there is coach Deschamps standing on the sidelines!

damn it!

It seems that I have been fooled!
