Chapter 719
"Now the England team is not only facing the problem of falling behind, but also falling behind in score and form. It seems that no player in the England team can stand up and suppress the excitement of the Spanish team."
"Henderson used to motivate his teammates in Liverpool, but as Lin Chen has gradually become Liverpool's on-field captain in the past few years, Henderson's ability to motivate his teammates seems to have declined!"
Southgate stood on the sidelines thinking, and whenever he thought, Southgate's lips would be twisted into a line, as if he was trying his best to come up with a solution to England's current predicament, or at least help the England team find a little hope of winning the European Cup.
It is difficult to win without hope. You can't do anything without any hope, because then you will definitely not succeed!
Southgate finally decided to let Rice start the attack as well, with Henderson playing alone as a defensive midfielder. Only in this way could Rodri be prevented from always helping Lin Chen in the central midfielder position.
Southgate finally figured it out. From Rice's active attack to Saka's active breakthrough, and then to Bellingham's active forward pressure, Southgate began to transform England's tactics into a completely proactive state. Scholes believed that England's chance was coming!
The 62th minute of the game!
"It's England attacking now, with Rice taking the initiative to carry the ball forward in the midfield."
"Give it to Saka, Bellingham takes it and plays a pass to the wall."
“Back to Saka again, now it’s Saka cutting inside!”
"Pass it to the penalty area again, Kane is in the middle."
"Another wall pass, Saka is getting better and better!"
After Kane passed the ball back to Saka, Saka immediately swung his leg and shot. This shot was very threatening. De Gea couldn't even judge which direction Saka was going to shoot, because the direction Saka was looking and the direction he shot were completely inconsistent.
Although De Gea dived to the left, he was careful and his body did not affect the center of gravity of his legs. When he found that Saka's shot was closer to the right, De Gea raised his legs and blocked Saka's ball in a thrilling way!
Kane made a follow-up shot, Laporte and Torres squatted down at the same time, with their hands behind their backs, and the two almost joined their hips together, forming a wall to block Kane's follow-up shot, completing double defense!
Thiago cleared the ball immediately. Although he kicked it out of the sideline in a panic, it was kicked out of the England team's half sideline, which helped the Spanish team successfully complete the defense!
The camera was replaying and De Gea suddenly closed his legs in the air.
This is not a normal save action by a football goalkeeper at all, but De Gea likes to use this abnormal action to save the opponent's normal shot, in order to show his extraordinary side!
"You're saying that England didn't have many chances. If it weren't for De Gea, the score would have been 2:2!"
Scholes thinks De Gea is still too strong!
"But I think Southgate has finally figured it out, and the England team should take the initiative to make changes."
"If you let Rice take the initiative to attack, and with the help of players on the left and right sides, the strength of the England team's lineup will definitely not be beaten like this by Spain!"
Luke Shaw and Trippier have not participated in the attack for a long time, because Southgate wanted them to focus on defense first!
But as Rice attacked, Luke Shaw also began to participate in the attack. Luke Shaw's attacking style was different from Trippier's. He was better at using his personal ability to break through and create opportunities with low crosses after reaching the bottom line!
The 66th minute of the game!
"Thiago is dribbling the ball in the midfield. Rodri can't move to the central midfielder position because Rice is actively interfering and forcing Rodri to retreat."
