Chapter 565 Big Victory 2
External comments did not affect the England team. In fact, since coming to Nuremberg, head coach Eriksson has banned any player from being interviewed by reporters in order not to distract them before the game.
In the last game to win Paraguay, Eriksson felt that there was no problem in winning Trinidad and Tobago in this game. As long as they win this game safely, the England team can easily qualify. So everything is still aimed at victory. Even two hours before the game, the English team's bus drove into the Franks' Stadium. Obviously, Eriksson did not want the players to contact the media.
It seems to be early to arrive two hours in advance, but in fact, it is a little stressful for the game.
The first thing to do is to adapt to the court. When the English players came to the court under the lead of the assistant coach, the Trinidad and Tobago players opposite had been training for half an hour. However, Eriksson is not worried that the players will not adapt. In fact, even if they only show 50% of their strength, the England team can easily win. The Swedes only care about minimizing accidents.
There is no accident, which does not mean that it is passive.
When the game started ten minutes, everyone, including the live fans, knew that England's game was not conservative. Although the score on the scoreboard was still 0:0, England had bombarded for ten minutes!
With the strength gap between the two teams, there is no need to be conservative, but no one expected that just in the opening stage, the England team launched a targeted attack and quickly established the game advantage. Erickson planned to fight an offensive battle before the game. He hoped that the players could get back the morale of the last Paraguayan fall. The attack was naturally inevitable. More importantly, the Swedes were confident, especially in the last game when he saw the team's brunette boy perform well in the penalty area with three people in a row, he had an offensive ability. I am more confident.
Trinidad and Tobago opposite can never hold the goal like Paraguay!
Under the guidance of the head coach's tactical thinking, the England team devoted 80% of its energy to the attack, which even gave the English fans in the audience an unreal feeling.
Is this really England?
Which team is based on physical confrontation? Which team is only good at long passes?
Now the English team attacking on the court can't see that it was the previous team that was mainly good at defensive counterattack. The players on the court, especially the players in the midfield, played very smoothly. This wonderful performance made the fans feel overwhelmed.
Many English fans feel that they are in a dream.
In fact, this scene is actually easy to understand that the current England team is naturally different with Don Jack. Especially when Erikson puts Don Jack in the midfield, England team directly changed from a team that is good at defending and counterattacking to a team that is good at attacking!
In the past, England's midfield combination was Lampard and Gerrard.
A Chelsea core, a Liverpool core, a seemingly flawless midfield combination, actually has many drawbacks. Before the World Cup, the combination of the two was questioned by many people. Some football commentators also think that Gerard and Lampard can't exert much strength together, but against England. Glen's attack is a drag.
Both of them are very strong, but together, one plus one is less than two. After all, their skills are too similar, and the position is very serious. They are in two teams together, and they are the core of the team, and there is no cooperation between them, although Gerard and Lampard Private friendship is good, but this does not solve the real problem on the football field.
This time, Erickson finally made up his mind to let Don Jack appear in the midfield.
England's formation is still 442, so that Gerrard and Lampard will have one substitute. It is Lampard who suffers this treatment. The reason is very simple: Gerrard was once a teammate of Don Jack!
Considering this, Eriksson naturally feels that Gerard and Don Jack's cooperation is more tacit. In fact, it is the same. The tacit understanding between Gerard and Don Jack in training is obvious. Every time Jack Don wants to pass the ball or carry the ball by himself, Gerrard understands Jack Don's expression and movements. This kind of tacit understanding is impossible for others to have in a short time.
That's why Gerrard has an advantage in the competition with Lampard.
When Don Jack appeared in the midfield, England's playing style became diversified. Everything was that Don Jack's skills were too comprehensive, so comprehensive that he could do it very well in both defense and attack. In this position, Don Jack felt very good. Once in Liverpool, Benitez formulated a The concept of 'the core of the whole team' makes everyone attack around him. The goal effect is obvious. Up to now, Gerald can have such a tacit understanding with Don Jack, which also has a lot to do with the training and games at that time.
Don Jack's technology is comprehensive, which naturally makes England's offensive means more diversified. With Don Jack as the core, whether it is to let him launch an attack, or let Don Jack take the ball to break through, or let Don Jack to organize the attack, or even playing England's traditional long pass, all kinds of choices can be allowed. Attack and fight.
With this guarantee, England's offensive ability is naturally much stronger.
It is also the situation that Eriksson's unconditional trust and his teammates are all very convinced. When all the passes and attacks revolve around Don Jack, Don Jack will hardly make any mistakes, and England's offensive nature naturally increases a lot.
Ingrah launched a smooth attack again and again, and Trinidad and Tobago's defense naturally suffered unprecedented challenges.
Before the game, Trinidad and Tobago's head coach Harbent stressed that England's attack was sharp, but most Trinidad and Tobago players didn't pay attention to it.
Among the teams of various countries in the world, the style of a team is very serious. In their opinion, even if England completes a big change, its offensive ability cannot surpass that of teams such as Brazil and Argentina.
In the World Cup qualifiers in Latin America, they can play hard against Mexico and other teams. When they meet England, Trinidad and Tobago feel that they can do it. After all, they are also a member of the top 32 of the World Cup.
"The frog in the well!"
It is most appropriate to use this word to describe the mentality of Trinidad and Tobago players. Except for three or four players who play in Europe, these players are all from South American clubs. Although they know that the stars who can be sought after by Europe and even the world are certainly good, even Don Jack has not been able to scare them. They may be that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
However, now they have experienced the strength of England's offensive frenzy!
Just ten minutes into the game, the England team has already shot three times, and Trinidad and Tobago has even entered the England half a limited number of times. At the beginning of the game, Trinidad and Tobago fell into this situation. As the game progresses, Trinidad and Tobago's form is becoming more and more dangerous. Urgent, when all the English players are in the form of play, the defense of Trinidad and Tobago seems likely to be broken at any time.
.........
This time, taking advantage of Trinidad and Tobago's counterattack, Gerrard quickly organized an attack. He slowly dribbled the ball in the middle and passed a Trinidad and Tobago midfielder, and then David on the side road. Beckham made a match, and then handed the ball over to Don Jack on the right side of the penalty area.
During this period, Jack Don has been running near the restricted area.
After the breakthrough of internal skill, his physical fitness has been improved. In his opinion, the defense of these Trinidad and Tobago players is not very threatening at all. As long as he can get the ball, it is not easy to play a three-person game in the penalty area, but these Trinidad and Tobago players want to grab the ball from his feet, but It's also very difficult.
Despite this, the English teammates don't know that Jack Don has been stared by two or three Paraguayan players. They don't have a chance to pass the ball, and even if they pass the ball, they don't think Jack will have a chance. After all, the opponent's defense is very tight.
However, Jack Tang is not in a hurry. In fact, he has also been adapting to the breakthrough of internal power. Speaking of it, it seems that a person's body has become flexible overnight. He needs to adapt to new internal force activities to correctly judge his ability, especially when using internal force, such as fast carrying the ball, using light power, or using irrigation. When he plays football with his internal force, it is difficult for him to grasp the strength.
The two-day training time is still very short for him to adapt. Don Jack doesn't want to pass the ball with his teammates, because he doesn't know if he can use the most appropriate force.
This is also the trouble brought about by the breakthrough of internal power.
Now in the game, the effect of adaptation must be much better than that of training. If there is a chance, Jack Don will still carry the ball by himself. This time, when his teammates passed the ball, Jack Don took a small step back from the right side of the penalty area and received the ball, and the Trinidad and Tobago defenders immediately forced him up.
Trinidad and Tobago knows their position very well. They know that there is a gap with England as a whole. In defense, there is a need to pay attention to, especially the No. 10 against England, that is, Don Jack, which needs to focus more on defense.
Unlike the Paraguayan coach, Trinidad and Tobago coach Harbent has focused on Don Jack's defense. Paraguay uses human-sea defense, while Trinidad and Tobago adopts a man-to-man strategy, using two players to defend Don Jack in the whole court, other balls. The staff should also cooperate to make up for the defense.
The most important thing is that you can't let the boy in front of you shoot at will!
Most of the players in Trinidad and Tobago are from the South American League. They must have heard of Don Jack's name. In the current World Cup, you can see interviews about Don Jack on TV every day, but the ears are empty and seeing is believing. The game lasted for more than ten minutes, and they haven't seen anything about the other side. With a wonderful performance, naturally some players feel that the media is a little exaggerated.
What's more, they don't understand why the head coach has to focus on limiting defense at such a long distance.
Such a defense is very energy-consuming and physical energy. On the outside of the penalty area, the angle is not good. Benhart also told him to block the shooting angle, which makes Trinidad and Tobago defenders a little incomprehensible. "What kind of threat can such a position, even if it is a shot, pose to the goal?"
However, Benhart's influence in Trinidad and Tobago is very great. Every player is convinced of the coach. The former led them to the World Cup finals, and the result has proved Ben Hart's ability, so they spared no effort to defend Don Jack.
But when Don Jack saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Although Trinidad and Tobago seems to attach great importance to his defense, in fact, they are a Latin American team after all. There is a gap between their understanding and the cognition and practices of European clubs. That is to say, Trinidad and Tobago still underestimates Don Jack. They did not defend him endlessly.
For example, now, two Trinidad and Tobago players come forward, one is coming to grab, and the other is blocking his passing route.
This kind of defense is really 'loose' for Don Jack.
Not only Jack Don himself, but also the English fans in the audience were excited, because they knew that such a defense could not limit 'their Jack'. They shouted slogans such as 'go through him' and 'Jack's shot', and the excitement was overflowing.
They didn't worry that the black-haired boy on the court would lose the ball at all, but thought it was a good opportunity.
Following this, some local Nuremberg fans saw the performance of the English fans and thought of this. They all looked at the focus of the stadium, and they felt that a wonderful scene was about to happen.
The fan's guess is correct!
In the face of such a defense, Don Jack just slightly put the ball forward with his toes. Just when the Trinidad and Tobago player who wanted to grab him thought it was his mistake, Don Jack fixed the ball above the football with his right foot. Then in the running, his body suddenly half turned his back to the defender. At this time, the other A famous defensive player immediately pasted it to prevent an 'accident'. At the same time, Jack Don smiled, but he was waiting for this opportunity. After another defender posted it, he picked the ball to the right with his left foot. Because his back was facing the opponent, the two defenders reacted a little slower, and Jack Tang turned directly to the right again. One hundred and eighty degrees, in the process of turning around, he had waved his right foot and bombarded the football that had just bounced from the grass!
In the right corner of the penalty area, facing the defense of the two, Don Jack chose to turn around and shoot!
All the fans who reacted to this scene felt a little incredible. This choice alone is a little incredible. Ordinary players in this position, even if no one stops them, a single goalkeeper may not be able to shoot the ball in. After all, it is about 20 meters away from the goal, and it is difficult for the angle to reach 45 degrees. It's really difficult to shoot in the position, but now it's in the game. There are two defenders in front of the dark-haired boy on the field. Under the defense of the two, they make such a choice. If it's other players, the fans will definitely feel that they are wasting opportunities. After all, the chance of scoring this kind of goal is too small.
But it's Jack Don on the field!
The best scorer in the English Premier League!
The best scorer in the League Cup!
Last year's Golden Globe Award (European Footballer of the Year) winner, last season's UEFA Champions Cup top scorer, best player!
All kinds of honors are intertwined on a player, which makes him trusted by more people. His shot has always been considered to be very likely to score.
Sure enough, at the moment when the fans thought, the football had crossed the distance of the penalty area and suddenly appeared in front of Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Hislop.
In Trinidad and Tobago, a small Caribbean football team, the most famous in the team is former Manchester United player York, and the oldest in the team is undoubtedly the former Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka. Hislop.
The 37-year-old Heathrow is still playing for the Premier League team, but his club has become the dark horse West Ham United.
Hislop is one of the evergreen trees in today's international football. Since he came to the Premier League in 1999, he has been touring in various teams in the Premier League, bringing more help to the team with the experience of veterans. Now he has become the main substitute goalkeeper of West Ham United.
It doesn't look like a big deal. After all, it's just a substitute goalkeeper, but don't forget that Hislop is 37 years old, and the average player has retired at this age.
Hislop relies on experience and stability, which is also the reason why the media praised him, but at this moment in the face of Don Jack's shot, Heathlop knows that his experience is useless... This is not a matter of experience at all. Don Jack's shot is too unexpected, that position... that angle of direct shot, No goalkeeper could react at the previous moment, and when he reacted, his old body could not make the corresponding movements. As a result, the football brushed directly from Hislop's ear and hit his head into the net.
.........
"Goooooooooooooal! Jack!"
There was only one voice left in the audience. This powerful long-range shot ignited the enthusiasm of all the fans present.
"It's Jack! He hit a world wave in the right corner of the penalty area! It's so gorgeous and perfect! This shot even made Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Hislop, who had been praised by the media before the game, unresponsive!"
The commentator of British Sky Sports TV said excitedly, "What a perfect shot! Jack proved the value of his right leg again. His right leg is more valuable than a diamond!"
In excitement, he couldn't help comparing Beckham with Don Jack. Someone once called Beckham's right leg 'golden right leg'. "David's right leg is very valuable, but compared with Jack, it is still a little worse. Jack scored his second goal in the World Cup. It's so beautiful! Ordinary people can't imagine the shot from that angle. If it weren't for the real sight, I wouldn't believe that anyone could choose to shoot vigorously against two defensive players from that angle!"
"But the thing in front of me tells me that it's true!"
In addition to British Sports Television, TV stations in other countries that broadcast the game have also praised the goal. Some media have analyzed the two teams, believing that Trinidad and Tobago can't limit Don Jack's performance at all. The game has only started for ten minutes. One goal seems to have illustrated the result of the game.
And at this time, Don Jack was also a little happy on the court.
Before his internal skills have been broken through, it is difficult for him to score goals like that just now. That kind of shooting is not only in position, angle and other aspects. It is difficult for the close defense of the two players to get out of his feet. What's more, he just picked the ball, turned around, volleyed, and took action in one go. What he needed is not only to be skilled, but also more about the body. The grasp.
The football falls to the grass and then jumps up. In this process, Jack Tang is behind his back. At most, he can only look at the corners of his eyes. At the moment of turning around, he shoots at the same time. That is to say, he has grasped the position of the football bounce and the right foot shooting point before, which is too technically difficult.
He can only shoot such a ball if his internal force breaks through Xiaocheng and his grasp of his body increases significantly.
This is an improvement on the one hand.
Long-range shots have always been Tang Jack's specialty, but with his popularity increasing, more teams have noticed this. As a result, the opponent often set up a lot of defenses at the front of the penalty area to limit his nearby shots. For a long time, Don Jack could not find opportunities at the front of the penalty area.
And now, after his strength is improved, he can shoot as he wants!
This feeling is quite good. He seems to have found the feeling of starting to play in the Premier League and starting to play in Liverpool. At that time, the England team did not pay much attention to him. As a result, long-range shots were kicked out from his feet and scored easily. That kind of easy goal allowed his team to quickly establish an advantage.
That feeling... quite good...
