Chapter 569 Strong Strength 1

The final round of England and Sweden in Group B at the Rhine Energy Stadium is about to begin.

Before the game, Eriksson announced the starting list. Hargreaves, who played for Bayern Munich, Germany, got the opportunity to start. He and Donjak partnered with the midfield duo. The two England midfielders, Gerard and Lampard, were all sitting on the bench this time. Such a start may make them very happy. Shield, for the first time, neither of them appeared in the starting position. The more important reason is that Don Jack stood in a midfield position, and the two could only fight for another position.

However, in the last game, Eriksson was still not satisfied with Gerrard's performance, and the Swedes decided to give Hargreaves a chance.

Hargreaves' name is Owen, of course, this and Michael. Owen, Owen is a surname or a first name. He was born in Calgary, Canada and became famous in Bayern Munich.

Hargreaves' father is English and his mother is Welsh, and Hargreaves was not born in these two places, but in Calgary, Canada.

When he was young, Hargreaves was only interested in ice hockey and basketball in Canada, but later he gradually became interested in football. Later, Hargreaves performed well in his birthplace, Calgary Hills, so he was introduced to the club for trial by a local coach who had a deep relationship with Bayern. Later, he was taken in, when Hargreaves was only 16 years old.

In the 2000-2001 season, due to his outstanding performance in the Bayern U19 youth team, Hargreaves became one of the first team players of Bayern Munich. In the same year, Hargreaves was selected to the England under-21 national team.

After stabilizing the main position, Hargreaves decided to represent England, thus giving up Canada, Wales and Germany (Hargreaves had already qualified as a German citizen at that time).

Hargreaves is famous for his good at fighting and playing hard. He also has a good sense of defense and shoveling ability, and is also recognized as a "bad" defensive midfielder: he is extremely energetic and always has a strong fighting spirit. Hargreaves is relatively proficient in both left and right feet and has a certain long-range shooting ability. In addition, Hargreaves is also an all-round player. In addition to the back, he can also play the role of full-back and full-back. His defensive ability is more than enough for the right-back position, and he can also play his own pass the ball on the side. Advantages.

Such a comprehensive ability is also the reason that restricts his development. He has nothing too excellent. Although he has always performed well on the court, it is difficult to be remembered by fans, and his physique, which is as vulnerable as Owen, has also become the biggest obstacle to his development.

However, Eriksson valued the stability of Hargreaves.

Although he is not as shiny as Gerard and Lampard many times, the current England midfielder has Don Jack, and a shiny one is enough. What Hargreaves needs to do more is 'blue-collar work'. He needs to defend and cooperate with the offensive pass, which is what Hargreaves can do well.

Don Jack is also the first time to partner with Hargreaves, and he also thinks that the other party is very good. Although Gerrard has a tacit understanding with him, Gerrard does very little defense, which makes him have to return to defense in the game many times, and Lampard and he have no tacit understanding at all. If they change to a new partner, at least his job is easy. A lot.

England's front-court partners are still Owen and Rooney. Now their partners seem to have become Eriksson's first choice. Although many media and fans feel that Owen has not played well, the Swedes still choose to trust him.

Sweden has also sent all the main players, and they don't want to meet the German team in the round of 16.

In the opinion of head coach Lagerbeck, the German team, especially the host of this World Cup, is stronger than the England team. Although England has the most valuable player in the world, it is also not as strong as the German team, so he decided to play with England. If we can win, Sweden will come first in the group and meet Ecuador, which is slightly weaker in the top 16, then Sweden's promotion situation will be great.

.........

At this time, the game on the court has begun.

The embarrassing record of England's defeat against Sweden in 38 brought shame to the England team, but also made the players on the field feel pressure and fighting spirit. Many English teams felt that they must win this game, and Erikson put out all the main lineups to compete for victory, which is exactly what the players want to see.

However, in Sweden's view, although the England team's lineup is very strong, and there are stars like Don Jack joining this year, the strength is imaginable, but the football match is an Eleven, but it is not a person. Some of them know Don Jack, but they can't hit the fighting spirit of their teammates, so the Swedes think that After winning England for 18 years, it's nothing to win another game!

After all, the England lineup was also stronger than Sweden.

After the game began, the fans at the scene saw a Swedish team full of fighting spirit and an English team full of fighting spirit!

At present, England is still biased towards defense, but what Don Jack brings to the team is the efficiency of attack. It is not easy for Sweden to score a goal, but as long as the England team is given a chance, it is equivalent to a goal.

This is the difference between the two teams.

In terms of opportunities, the two teams played a score at the beginning, and their respective possession rate is about the same. In fact, the style of the two teams is not much different. The main thing is the performance of players and stars. Sweden continues to attack, and so does England.

Such a game is welcomed by the fans who came to watch the game. 50,000 fans arrived at the Lein Energy Stadium today, most of whom are neutral fans. These fans are fighting for the name of the two teams, and there are also many fans who come to see the stars. Most of them want to see the stars of England. In contrast, English Lan's team has many stars, which is much better than Sweden.

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" The audience was filled with similar cheers.

The atmosphere in the audience was very hot, which also gave the players more energy to fight. Soon as the game deepened, the two teams competed for the midfield. Don Jack was in the midfield. His continuous running with Hargreaves became the key to England's initiative.

We can see the importance of position from here. If Don Jack is a striker, it doesn't make much sense for him to withdraw and participate in this kind of competition. In that case, there will be no one waiting for opportunities in the front court, and even if he has an advantage, there are still few opportunities.

And standing in the midfield, he can become the person who creates opportunities, which is the initiative.

Although the Swedish team tried their best to attack and their mentality was stable, in fact, their strength was worse than that of the England team. In addition, Don Jack kept running back and forth, and Sweden had to defend against him, there was a gap between the two teams. This gap began to be inconspicuous, but again and again. There was a clear gap between the two sides. In this case, the England team quickly took the initiative.

Finally, in the 19th minute of the game, England got a free kick 30 meters away.

Thirty meters, it's too far!

Beckham didn't go up at all. He gave up such a long-range free kick, Joe. Cole wanted to take a free throw, but in the end, Don Jack stood in front of the ball. For such a long-distance free kick, his English teammates also knew that Don Jack should be given a penalty.

"Come on, Jack! We are waiting for you to score!" The teammates joked and shouted, as if they didn't take Sweden next to him seriously at all.

Then, the voices of fans also sounded in the audience---

"Jack, enter one!"

"Let them see the goal! Those uninformed country bumpers!"

"Come on!"

......

Don Jack stood very steadily in front of the ball, with a smile on the corners of his mouth. He may not have absolute confidence in the ball before, but now it's different. After the internal force breakthrough, his mastery of the body is more arbitrary. Coupled with the results of a few days of training, he is still sure to play this kind of ball in a good position.

Whungs up or not depends on the strength of the opponent's goalkeeper.

In everyone's gaze, Don Jack stood firmly in place. With the whistle of the referee, he only stretched out his feet casually, just like kicking a mineral water bottle, which makes most people feel that the ball will not have any strength.

"Is this a free kick?" Many people are confused.

But fans who know Don Jack celebrate. He often takes a free throw in this way, and the free throw is still very strong, which almost violates Newton's laws of physics, but the truth is that. Seeing that kind of calmness, many English fans have a hunch that something good has happened.

"Oh, my God, Jack is too casual. Maybe he didn't want to penalty the ball, or pass the ball to his teammates. After all, the distance is too..." The German commentator turned his head and said in surprise, "The ball... scored!?"

"Oh, my God, the goal is scored! My-God! God, the ball really scored!"

On the screen, the football crossed the sky and fell directly into the upper left corner of the goal. Swedish goalkeeper Isaacson made a mistake in his judgment. He jumped to the left, but it was still much worse. He did not predict the drop point of the ball.

"This is a deciduous ball! It's so beautiful. Maybe Isaacson is in danger in this game. Jack broke Kahn's ten fingers with such a goal two years ago. Now it's his turn, but his performance is far worse than Kahn's..."

At the same time, the commentator of English Sky Sports TV shouted excitedly: "The ball is scored! The goal is scored! A 30-meter free kick can be said to be a world wave! Jack's shot is so beautiful!"

"All the audience, all the fans, the match between England and Sweden, in the 20th minute of the first half, the superstar Jack, who currently plays for Newcastle United, helped England take the lead with a world wave! He scored the first goal, which was really excellent! With this ball, he tied the four goals of German striker Klos, and tied for the first place in this World Cup scorer list. But I can expect that it's only a matter of time before he surpasses Cross to the top of the scorer list!"
