Chapter 561 vs. Paraguay 3

If it's wrong, it's wrong!

It is most appropriate to use this word to describe the current situation of England. England, which was not a pure offensive team, actually suppressed the formation in this game. As a result, it was Paraguay's 'trap' in the first half. In fact, Paraguay probably didn't expect that its defense could have such an effect. It can only be said that the pre-match media's praise of the England team made the English players feel too good. They were too careless to pay attention to the other team at all.

The result is that England is one goal behind in the first half.

The only goal is still relying on Don Jack's personal penalty, which is really not good for England.

Head coach Eriksson did not explain the situation to the players. He was afraid that everyone would take care of the attack, and now he can only fight defensively and Paraguay.

In the five minutes of the second half, England still did not score. At this time, Eriksson had seen that the opponent's tactics in the second half had not changed much. When it comes to change, it was more targeted.

Paraguay is still intensive defense, passive defense, shrinking the defense line, waiting for the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and attacking all the way.

Paraguay's midfielders retreated sharply, using a dense defensive formation to deal with the England team's big offensive. Like the first half, even more dense and targeted defense than the first half makes it difficult for England's attack to achieve results. At this time, it may rely more on the player's personal performance to score.

While relying on the dense number of people to accumulate defensive ability, Paraguay did not give up the attack. Yes, the other party also wants to score a goal. Perhaps in their opinion, scoring another goal can ensure victory. At this time, if they completely give up the attack, the hope of victory will be all on the English team's inability to score. It is very passive, only enter. Only the ball can take the initiative.

In terms of attack, Paraguay chooses the middle line. Due to the retreat of the front line, most of the players will defend and participate in the defense. There are not many players who can participate in the attack, so Paraguay only attacks one way. Their formation is now 5311, and they only use the two strikers in the front court, Santa Cruz and Valdes, to counterattack. Santa Cruz is more flexible. Talented players often have amazing creativity. His inspiration may be able to score for Paraguay. Valdes is more calm and stable. His performance is moderate, and his game experience is extraordinary. It just makes up for the shortcomings of Santa Cruz.

The cooperation between the two is still a threat to the England team.

In this way, Paraguay has an attack and a defense. While the attack is blocked, the England team is also worried about the fatal attack of the opponent's raid.

Paraguay's tactics are very exquisite when their strength is weak, and even Eriksson on the sidelines can't help giving a thumbs-up. But this is also based on the current situation. Paraguay is in the lead, and they actually occupy inferior in the game. This is a tactic arranged by the opponent who is stronger than himself. Anyway, it is also passive. Therefore, on the scene, the England team still takes the initiative, and the attack can still threaten Paraguay's goal again and again.

In this tense game, as long as Paraguay can successfully hold the remaining time, or take the opportunity to attack England for a goal, the victory must belong to Paraguay, and vice versa.

At the Frankfurt Stadium, with the cheers of fans from all over the world, the two teams played a fierce match at halftime in Paraguay, with two full-backs, Beckham and Joe. Cole kept threatening the opponent's penalty area with a cross. Don Jack and Owen have been looking for opportunities, but the defense of the opponent's penalty area is too tight, coupled with some luck. After 20 minutes of the game, the England team has not scored for a long time.

This kind of scene even makes many English supporters desperate.

One goal behind, the big attack is ineffective. What does this mean? Everyone can think of it. This situation also makes the players on the field more and more anxious. England players are eager to score goals, while Paraguay's defense seems to be more calm. The more time they delay, the more confident they are to win. The hearts of the players of the two teams The state is completely a contrast.

During this period, Don Jack occasionally went to the penalty area to grab the ball. Most of the time, it was still near the right side of the opponent's penalty area. The opponent's defender had to distract himself to keep an eye on him, which was very effective for England's attack. Paraguay's defense against other English players was much lax, and the threat of attack was great.

However, this is a drag on his own performance.

Especially in the eyes of many fans, Don Jack's performance is very ordinary and even a little clumsy. For example, he hasn't touched the ball in three minutes.

At this time, England's head coach Eriksson on the bench finally couldn't sit still.

Football rolled around in Paraguay at half, but the team just failed to score. This situation is the worst. The result of losing the game must be to lose the game. He knew that he had to make tactical adjustments.

Using an out-of-bounds ball time, Eriksson motioned the assistant coach to replace him, and Rooney replaced Owen. At the same time, he went to the sidelines and called captain Beckham to give him a brief explanation of the next tactics.

Beckham nodded solemnly after hearing this, took a look at the front court, and then returned to the court.

The behavior of the two failed to escape the attention of most people. Paraguayan head coach Ruiz was a little uneasy when he saw Eriksson's behavior. He knew that the England team would definitely change the team. Otherwise, Paraguay would win in the current form of the game.

"Is it Rooney?"

Replacement of Rooney may bring goals to England, which is also the choice of a general coach. Owen's performance in the game is really average. Rooney puts an offensive point in the penalty area, which may bring results. However, Ruiz doesn't think it's that simple. It's just that Rooney's words are not very different from Owen just now. This young boy has a strong impact, but it's just that. He also has a bigger disadvantage, that is, he is not as conscious as good as Owen, and it is difficult for such a player to find opportunities in the penalty area. So what else will the other party do?

Ruiz didn't know. He didn't know what the England team was going to do. He could only brake quietly and wait for the change of the England team before thinking about countermeasures.

.........

When Beckham returned to the court, the English players soon knew what to do next.

The focus of Erickson's emphasis is: "Roney acts as a center forward, at the front of the team, the team's main attack in the middle, and Don Jack wants to increase the time to carry the ball!"

In the game just now, the England team played very well. Maybe it's just luck that they didn't score, but luck is also part of the strength. As long as the opponent leads to the end, then the England team is the losing side, which is not acceptable to Erikson, so he To expand England's advantage, try to give the team more opportunities to face the opponent's goal in the next time.

If you want to do this, you have to rely on the personal performance of the star, and that's why Don Jack can carry more.

And the middle of the main attack was soon reflected in the English formation. There was a small change in the formation of the England team on the court. One of them is the position of Don Jack. Although he pulled back Owen just now, the position was not obvious. However, after the change, he ran directly to Rooney's back, where there was a forward waist or shadow. The position of the striker, while Beckham and Joe. Cole's position is also a little precondition. In this way, the English team has changed from 442 to 433 formation, or it can be described as 424, which has stronger offensive ability.

Obviously, Erickson intends to focus on Rooney's point!

Don Jack behind Rooney is more of a player who attracts the opponent's firepower. In the second half, after the other side focuses on Don Jack, he has fewer opportunities. To let Don Jack dribble more is to create opportunities for Rooney or two players on both sides, or use his dribble to create a free kick. Opportunity is very beneficial to the England team with free kick master Beckham.

Next, England launched a large-scale attack in such a formation.

Paraguay still used the tactics of the first half, but they soon found that the defense was more difficult, because there was a Rooney on the forward line of the England team, and Don Jack's point was actually protected by the surroundings. There were many teammates beside him. If he went forward to defend, other English players would definitely have Opportunity.

Paraguayan players are a little overwhelmed. They are afraid to give each other a chance, but if they don't defend, this black-haired boy will have a chance by himself.

The uncertainty for a while made Paraguay's penalty area full of loopholes. As a result, two consecutive attacks, the England team created two shooting opportunities. Don Jack and Beckham each had a shot. Unfortunately, Don Jack's shot hit the crowd of people, and Beckham hit a plane and let Erikson on the sidelines. He covered his cheeks depressedly.

But in any case, Eriksson's adjustment is still very effective, and the form of Paraguay has become precarious.

A few minutes later, seeing frequent crises in front of the team, Paraguayan coach Ruiz was very uneasy. At this time, he also generally understood that England was in the middle of the main attack.

This kind of play makes it difficult for Ruiz to think of a coping strategy for a while!

The England team simply gave up the attack on the sideline and used its strong midfield ability to fully support the middle. There was Rooney, who had just played on the middle, and Don Jack, who was very flexible and played well in any position, and Beckham and Joe on the side. Cole can provide continuous support for the middle. Even so, there are many loopholes in England's defense, but the attack is the best defense. At least just now, Paraguay has not got a good opportunity.

For this tactic, Ruiz can't think of a countermeasure for a moment!

Because this is a very strong and dangerous way of play, but when England faces Paraguay, this way of play is just right. Obviously, Erickson uses the English team's personal ability to generally be stronger than Paraguay, and uses strong advantages to break through, although Ruiz's defensive work is very good. He almost won the whole game of England, but whether he can win the next time or not, Ruiz has no confidence in his heart. With only 15 minutes left in the game, Paraguay is still leading by one goal. Ruiz only hopes that the team can hold the rest of the time.

Then Paraguay will win a major victory that is enough for them to advance to the top 16!

.........

However, it will take a while to wait for the victory. At this time, Paraguay on the court has been stunned by England. Without the command of head coach Ruiz, coupled with the strength of the English team, their defense is really full of loopholes compared with just now. Finally, after 79 minutes from the whole game, the English team finally The long-awaited goal was ushered in.

This time, Lampard organized another large-scale attack near the center line.

After a few simple passes, the football was handed over to Joe on the left. At Cole's feet, Joe. Cole took two steps and directly went straight to Gerrard. Gerrard did not stop the ball, but shoveled the ball towards the football, and the ball flew directly to about five meters in front of the penalty area.

At this time, Jack Don just shook off the opposing player and appeared on the line of the penalty area. He hurriedly stepped back to grab the ball. As soon as his chest was removed and his left foot was raised, the football stopped firmly at his feet.

At the front of the penalty area, Don Jack took the ball, which was a dangerous signal to Paraguay.

Two defenders in Paraguay immediately surrounded, but at this time, Rooney was on the right side of the penalty area. He restrained the defensive force. Some players in Paraguay were hesitant to come forward, and Beckham on Rooney's side was unguarded. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Don Jack quickly followed and passed directly to Beckham, the latter He kicked Rooney in front of his heel. Rooney got the ball in the penalty area and hung his foot in the corner of the goal.

The English supporters in the audience left and broke out!

"Goooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!"

"Wayne--"--" Rooney--"

"This is a wonderful ball! The goal was scored by Rooney, who came on as a substitute in the second half, but what was more dazzling was the previous passing cooperation. It was rare for England to play such a wonderful cooperation, from Lampard to Joe. Cole, from Cole to Jack, from Jack to Beckham, and then passed to Rooney, a few passes directly through the dense defense against Paraguay. In the whole game for 79 minutes, nearly 80 minutes, the England finally equalized the score with Rooney's goal!"

"This game is very difficult!"

"After eighty minutes, the two teams stood on the same line again. There are still ten minutes left in the game. It is impossible to decide who will win or lose. Such a game is really wonderful, but I'm afraid the English people don't think it's wonderful. They certainly didn't expect it to play like this before the game!"

"Fortunately, now they are catching up!"

After explaining the goal, the German commentator began to recall Don Jack's performance in the normal game: "As the most valuable player in England and the world, we see that although England's two goals are also related to Jack, he did not score. Maybe he is not quite used to the World Cup, but I We can still look forward to his performance.

"In this game, Jack's performance was normal. He made a penalty and participated in the attack just now. As an ordinary player, such a performance is enough to get a high score, but as far as Jack is concerned, this is still a little bad. We look forward to him playing more. OK..."
