Chapter 714
"Up to now, the first half of the European Cup final has actually lasted nearly 30 minutes!"
"Spain gave me the feeling that they knew what they were playing, while England gave me the feeling that they didn't feel like they were playing in a European Cup final at all!"
"These are all top players from top teams in the Premier League, but you don't unleash top energy when you get together!"
"It's not right to play like this, it doesn't feel right, the European Cup final shouldn't be played like this, the England team needs to hurry up and adjust!"
As a former midfield master, Scholes can read a lot of tactical details on the field. Southgate's relatively conservative tactics are unacceptable to Scholes.
At least now England is behind, Southgate should let England attack first!
Southgate was still waiting. Even though Lin Chen and Busquets had completely cut off the rhythm of England's midfield, Southgate did not easily let England start a full-scale offensive and pressure.
It was not until more than ten minutes left in the first half that Southgate finally gave the order for England to start attacking!
Starting with Foden, he took the initiative to dribble the ball towards the more dangerous areas of Spain, especially breaking through in the direction of Busquets and Laporte, and then Kane also began to look for opportunities to pass the ball in the Spanish penalty area.
Kane not only has to shoot himself, but also create opportunities for his teammates!
The 39th minute of the game!
"Saka got a rare breakthrough opportunity on the right side. Saka is now dribbling the ball towards Alba."
"If we are competing in speed and head-on confrontation now, I think it would be difficult for Alba to defend against the younger Saka!"
Saka was dribbling the ball towards Alba, then suddenly cut inside and changed direction, very quickly!
Alba was indeed passed by, but he immediately reached out and grabbed Saka's clothes to stop Saka's breakthrough!
"Saka's breakthrough was interrupted by Alba's foul. The referee gave Alba a yellow card. Rice was looking for Alba. He seemed to want to say something to Alba!"
Rice was not happy with Alba's foul, so he was looking for trouble with Alba.
Until Lin Chen appeared next to Alba, stared at Rice and said!
"If you have anything to say to Alba, Rice, just tell me, let me hear what you have to say!"
Rice spread out his right hand.
"Why did he foul Saka like that?"
Lin Chen pointed to the place where he was dragged down by Rice just now!
"Didn't you do this foul to me?"
"This is a football game, it's normal to win, is this beyond the rules?"
"Alba got a yellow card, you got a yellow card, so why couldn't Alba do that to Saka?"
"He didn't hurt Saka."
Lin Chen always appears when his Spanish teammates are in trouble and solves everything for them. Opponents of any team respect Lin Chen very much, so when Lin Chen comes forward, they always give Lin Chen face!
England suddenly started to attack, and they relied mainly on Saka's attack.
When he was at Arsenal, Saka was the player on the right who was mainly responsible for cutting inside and creating opportunities. In England, Saka also played the same role!
It was a free kick on the right, and all the England players were pressed into the penalty area.
Only Rice and Henderson were guarding outside the penalty area, with Trippier left alone at the back.
The England team relied on this multi-player attacking method to force most of the Spanish players to return to their own penalty areas to participate in defense.
In this way, even if England's attack fails, Spain will not have enough manpower to counterattack.
Foden observed the position of his teammates in the penalty area, then kicked the ball to Kane!
