Chapter 769 World Cup Qualifiers
·
Lao Zuo
When it comes to Moldova, many people have not even heard of the name.
In the small area located in Eastern Europe, no matter whether it is economy, culture, or people's livelihood, it is not obvious.
Of course, this is a relatively high emotional intelligence statement.
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe, and its estuary is occupied by its neighbors. The wider fertile plain is on the right, and the mineral resources are on the left.
There is no reason to speak, the innate environment is like this.
And the most interesting thing about this country that was only established in 1991 is not this. Before the visit of the England team, this country had no president for three years. For a total of 917 days, poverty and turmoil have caused this small country to suffer a lot.
The only consolation is probably only football and fine wine.
This is a country where the per capita alcohol consumption is overwhelmingly Germanic, and it is a festival to celebrate good wine all year round.
If you meet a strong Moldovan man on the side of the road and ask him how much he drinks, you will probably only have one finger to answer:
keep drinking!
At the entrance of the hotel where the England team stayed, people drinking can be seen everywhere, even inside the hotel there are all kinds of wine... free!
In this case, the England team ushered in their first 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
The Chisinau Stadium may be the smallest national team stadium in Europe, with only 11000 seats.
In the near future, there will be a Republic Stadium under construction in Moldova, but the scale is also small, with only more than 13000 seats.
This is compared with the country's capital, which had only 2012 people in 60, and such a stadium has fully met the demand.
Look at those hundreds of England fans who have been drunk and bleary-eyed singing loudly in the stands.
Winning wine and singing, that's what they came here for.
If this game was held in Moscow, they would probably keep a low profile. The things on the streets of London seem to have not dissipated.
In this game, Lindy was placed on the bench, and Hodgson arranged for the three generations of the old, middle and young to play separately.
On the defensive line, Terry and Maguire formed an era partner, while Glenn Johnson and Barnes supported the two wings.
The midfielder chose Henderson to delay, Gerrard and Lampard to the front, forming a pattern of three midfielders.
Up front?
Full!
Rooney, Welbeck and Vardy form a new England striker!
Looking at the running figures on the field, Lindy wondered if he was "hidden" because he was not CPU by Hodgson.
In the 9th minute of the game, the England team opened up the situation.
Gerrard and Lampard advanced in front of the penalty area at the same time, and Henderson, who was delayed, sent a beautiful penetrating ball to Rooney's feet.
The latter seemed to intend to play the ball. Faced with a great opportunity, he did not choose to shoot directly, but knocked it across to Lampard who was going forward.
Lampard hit the ball and scored from the far corner.
However, in the remaining 36 minutes of the first half, England's offensive failed to score again due to various reasons.
The football was flying in and out of the Moldovan penalty area, and the fans could not even see any effective cooperation.
Most of the players rely on their personal ability to threaten Moldova's goal.
It seems that the offensive is on fire, and Moldova's goalkeeper Namask is very busy, blocking left and right.
But it just failed to score a goal.
This made the England fans watching at home almost yell:
"What's the matter with kicking, what's Hodgson doing all the time?"
"We're here to have a good time. Are you practicing military or volleyball?"
"What is this practice? Without Lindy, wouldn't the England team even know how to kick the ball? Do you really think of yourself as the European Huaxia team?"
Therefore, during the half-time break, when Hodgson looked at Lindy, Lampard knew that he might be replaced.
He doesn't care, after all, Hodgson made it clear in the "talk therapy" before the game that as long as he can cooperate with Hodgson, as long as he is not injured, he will definitely represent England in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Instead of watching "Waka Waka" at home.
But Hodgson was not too satisfied with Henderson's performance. In the limited time on the field, except for one pass, the latter showed indescribable performance and received a yellow card.
Change two people!
At the beginning of the second half, Lin Di was a little dazed as he looked at the young boy with a buttocks who looked hopeful beside him.
Not only Lindy, but even the fans in front of the TV looked a little strange to this 17-year-old young man:
"Who is this?"
"Isn't the old man really going to work hard? It is definitely the right choice to replace Lindy, but who is this kid? The black version of Rooney??"
"Hey, I don't believe you if I ask you to read more. This is Sterling, the main striker of the U18 national team. He can also play as a midfielder, but he looks old. According to the Chinese people, he should be 19 years old!"
"Upstairs, Sterling is only 17 years and 274 days old this year, an absolutely authentic black Rooney!"
Sterling's chest kept rising and falling, holding on with one hand, but he didn't know where to put the other hand.
Although before playing, senior Gerrard repeatedly told him that this is a good time for him to make a name for himself, so don't be cowardly.
Lindy reached out and pressed Sterling's shoulder, but didn't look at him: "Don't turn your head, don't be nervous, you just play the U18 national team on the spot and it's over, anyway, the jerseys are the same."
!! ?
Sterling looked intently.
Hey, don't say it, it's really the same.
He has played U16 and U18 international competitions many times, and the national name is also very familiar to him.
Sterling immediately became less nervous. He smiled at Lindy and showed his famous happy smile: "Thank you, Lin... Team Lin."
As soon as the two came on the field, the rhythm of the England team changed.
Unlike the players who didn't know who to look for when Shuangde was on the field, Lindy has absolute midfield organization power in this England team.
This is the status he earned by virtue of his performance in the Premier League, and Hodgson doesn't even need special arrangements for tactics.
Everyone will go to the Lindy organization very consciously.
But this game is a bit different. Lindy's positioning for Sterling is still in the forward position of the happy boy stage.
However, in this game, Hodgson arranged for him to be a midfielder, not even a midfielder.
This made Lindy a little confused.
However, as the game progressed, Lindy gradually discovered some tricks. This kid's passing is not bad.
At least the accuracy is much more reliable than his.
In the 49th minute of the game, the England team finally ushered in a second goal.
Lindy quickly dribbled the ball forward after dodging the opponent's striker in the midfield, and the teammates in front of him followed suit to each gap like a peacock spreading its tail.
Only Sterling, very cleverly kept a distance of about 6 meters from Lindy.
And it was always in the open space, without any defensive players between the two. Lindy was surprised at the kid's progress, and at the same time saw the white figure on the edge of the penalty area.
He pretended to look right at Sterling, as if to play with him.
At this glance, two defenders appeared beside Sterling in an instant, cutting off the connection between the two.
Sterling was sold by Lindy in this way.
At this moment, Lindy made an arc with his right foot, and the football flew directly to the ribs on the left side of the penalty area, and the white figure also moved accordingly.
The two had never cooperated before, but at this moment they became in harmony.
When the ball arrives, the people arrive.
"Oh!"
A shot from the left foot!
"Shh!"
An ordinary and legendary goal was born!
