Chapter 573 Jack's Pursuit 2

Ecuador is a new team in South American football. Similarly, this World Cup is the second time in a row that they have reached the World Cup finals, but don't underestimate this South American plateau team. Uruguay, Colombia, Chile and other traditional South American strong teams have fallen at their feet. .

There are no stars in the Ecuadorian team. It is difficult for ordinary European fans to hear the names in their team. It is strange. This is how fans feel about Ecuador. They are not even as famous as Trinidad and Tobago, Paraguay and other teams.

But the Ecuadorian team still has their pride. High school striker Delgado and the dexterous Cavedes are the core players in their team. These two players are like two sharp daggers in Ecuador. Any team that despises Ecuador will bring cruel results.

The Croatian team of the Korea-Japan World Cup four years ago paid a heavy price for contempt.

However, they are the only players worth mentioning. In the warm-up before the game, the English players met with the Ecuadorian players. No one expected that Owen, the golden boy who rarely spoke in the team, would get to know Delgado, and they also said hello to each other.

It turns out that the two used to be Liverpool's teammates.

At the same time, at the press conference before the game, Eriksson seemed to be very low-key. Generally speaking, the head coach of England, who had just defeated Sweden and was ready to play against Ecuador, should not keep a low profile. However, because the team was too popular, Eriksson kept a low profile. He claimed that it was a difficult game. It's a challenge for England.

Anyway, it's just a bunch of compliments!

This looks weird, but some reporters understand that this is because the gap between the two teams is too big in Erikson's heart. If the opponent is Germany, the Swedes will never keep a low profile. Even if they lose in the end, England will be strong to the end.

This is the difference!

It seems naive to treat an almost win-win opponent and be arrogant or something.

However, it is obvious that Ecuadorian head coach Suarez is more low-key. He directly put Ecuador in the weak position: "This is a very difficult game for us and a challenge to the team's history. The game will definitely be very difficult, and the requirements for tactics and players will be very high."

"England is a traditional strong team in Europe and even the world. They are a member of the World Cup knockout stage every year, and it is difficult for us to enter the knockout stage. In the eyes of most people, we have no chance. I just want to say that we will do everything we can to win."

In response to the defensive problem of England No. 10 mentioned by the reporter, Suarez said, "He is a real genius. Seven goals in the two games of the World Cup group stage have proved everything. I watched the last match between England and Sweden. His performance is unparalleled, and even a full score is not too much. In this game, I have also arranged a lot of tactics to limit his performance.

What specific tactics? Of course, Suarez will not be stupid until now. He just keeps emphasizing the efforts of him and the players.

Germany, Stuttgart, Gottlieb. Daimler Stadium.

The whole stadium has been stained with fans. Every fan who comes to the scene is looking forward to the game. In addition to the fans of the two teams, there are more neutral German fans. These local fans are all for the name of the English team, as European fans, and even as ordinary The fans will naturally support England, which makes the game look like England's home.

The top 16 matches are naturally different from the group stage, and the atmosphere of the game is much hotter. There are only a limited number of battles in the group stage that can be compared with it.

Under the attention of the fans, the players finally came out of the player channel, which is a sign that the game is about to begin.

"England, No. 10, Jack-Lee-"

With the roar of the commentator at the scene, the atmosphere of the scene reached **. Almost all the fans who came to the scene looked at Don Jack. They wanted to see if the guy who could score seven goals in the World Cup group stage had three heads and six arms. And all the fans who saw Don Jack shouted his name loudly. Many English players who played with him could only follow the team sadly, and they had no support at all.

Before the World Cup, Jack Don was also very famous, but it was never as good as it is now. The previous World Cup group matches gave him more support. The World Cup has always been the best stage to show himself. This stage has attracted attention from all over the world. Many fans only watch their national leagues, but they They won't miss the World Cup. Some fans only focus on a certain country in the Europa League, such as Italy and Germany, but they won't miss the World Cup either.

The World Cup is a feast for football all over the world!

Now the people watching the World Cup all know Don Jack's name. Many non-fans know that there is such a player from Europe and England. He is bigger than Beckham's name and his strength is outstanding. He is the most famous and the most famous football players nowadays. One of the colors.

In some other games, many commentators will occasionally mention Don Jack's name. For example, in the group match between the Netherlands and Argentina, which is not close to England, the live commentator will occasionally talk about the performance of the live players and be an opponent with Jack Don. He seems to be a ball. It's impossible to be better than him. If you are weaker, it means that you are strong. What's more, as long as you compare it with Jack Don, even if the commentator's mouth is 'too far away', it's an honor for ordinary players---

At least they are qualified to compare with Don Jack, and no other players are qualified!

The above have made Don Jack's influence in world football more and more. The name commentators of other English players are just one sentence, even Beckham, Gerard and others are the same. Others are just silently upset, but there is no way. A team that has attracted much attention is only one player. Now No one has discussed 'Becham's influence on the England team'. There is nothing to discuss. With Don Jack's influence, whether Beckham is here or not, it doesn't have much influence on the team.

What everyone likes to discuss is 'Don Jack's influence on the England team'.

For Ecuadorian players, the commentator passed by. He read according to the player list and jumped his name. After a few names, the Ecuadorian players were surprised to find that the on-site commentator had introduced them, and some unknown players did not hear themselves on the list. The name, paying attention to the details, fans are puzzled to find that there are less than ten people in Ecuador today.

Of course, this is just a bitter smile for complaining. Ecuador still has stars, such as the team's top scorer Delgado, but in Europe, he is really unknown.

After the opening ceremony, the on-site commentator also entered the working state. He began to introduce the history of the two teams and the record in the group stage to the audience. In addition, he talked about the topic of the live game and made a rough comparison in terms of the lineup, formation and strength of the opening of the two teams.

The England team is a ten-thousand-year-old 442 formation. The forward line Rooney and Gerald are partners, and the midfielder Don Jack is led. In this game, his partner is still Hargreaves, and the two sides are Joe. Cole and David. Beckham, Campbell became the main force due to Ferdinand's injury on the guard line, his partner John. Terry stood in front of the door, and the two full-backs were Neville and Ashley, who had recovered from injury. Cole.

"This formation is a common formation for the English team, but Gerrard actually played as a striker. Unexpectedly, Owen did not play in this game, and he could not find him on the bench. His inaction in the group stage made Eriksson lose patience with him..." The German commentator did not hesitate at all. And talk about it.

But he only paid attention to the front line.

This is also what ordinary fans care about. More people like famous stars and goals in the game. This is normal in football. The striker who can score goals is more likely to become a well-known player. But in fact, a slight change in the midfield and backfield is the key. Gerrard acts as a striker, which is just a small temporary transfer and does not have much meaning in it.

Ferdinand was injured, and Campbell replaced him in the first place!

This is very common to the fans, but in fact, in general, Campbell has no chance. He is a general of Arsenal, but he is a little old, and Campbell does not have Ferdinand's momentum and technology. His biggest advantage is stability, stability in defense, and his partner is Terry. Terry's header is very good, and his frontcourt support ability is very strong, which makes it possible for the defender to insert an assist.

There is also a full-back.

Manchester United captain Gary. After Neville recovered from his injury, he started directly!

After playing against Sweden, many media have reported about Beckham's 'dragging' in England. His right side has become the weakest part of the England team. This statement is obviously reasonable. Neville's playing is an illustration of this point. There is Neville, who is familiar with Beckham, Inge. Lan's right side is guaranteed, and Ashley. Cole and Joe. On the contrary, Cole's partner doesn't have to worry. The cooperation between the two has always been tacit, and they are very active on the left side. It can be seen that the two of them working together in this game will definitely make the left side of England active.

There is no need to worry about the midfield.

The last big victory against Sweden obviously brought great benefits to Hargreaves, an English Bayern player - he occupied the midfield starting position that should belong to Gerrard or Lampard, so that the excellent Gerrard could only go to the front court to play as a striker, and Lampard had no chance to start. The Chelsea heavyweight star sat on the bench again. The camera showed that Lampard was expressionless, which was obviously quite helpless in his heart.

This may be a test of Erickson's vigor. The midfielder England is full of talents, and even Lampard and Gerrard have no place. At this point, England should be the first in the world, and Brazil and Italy, which are full of talents, are not so luxurious.

The forward line, as the live commentator said, Owen lost his position.

This is a fact. In three games in the group stage, Owen started in the first game. His performance can only be said to be average. It is not as good as Rooney, who came on as a substitute. In the second and third games, he still started, but he scored too few goals and did not contribute much to the team in the front court. Erickson really lost his patience. England's former golden boy, in the third The performance of the group stage disappointed the fans, coaches and even teammates.

If he is given another chance to start, I'm afraid the English players will object!

I don't know how Owen is feeling when he watches the game in front of the TV, but he must be very depressed, but there is nothing he can do. The truth is that in a team, if he does not perform well, he will be replaced. This is professional football, and not to look at Liverpool's general Crouch's performance is actually good, but he has been sitting on the bench. .

The reason is Eriksson's distrust!

Crouch is not even as good as Gerrard as a striker. The reason for this distrust is Crouch's ability to be single. In fast-paced modern football, Crouch's playing will reduce the English team's offensive system.

However, Crouch's off-court is not monotonous.

It is said that before the game, some media revealed that Crowe's girlfriend drove his sports car to have sex with his ex-boyfriend and was secretly photographed by others. He is now wearing a certain green and shiny hat. It is also because of the 'girlfriend' incident that he is not so worried about whether he can play.

On the other side, Ecuador is also in the 442 formation, but they are more concerned about defense. In the 442 formation, only Delgado is the real striker, and the defensive task of the other striker Cavides is even heavier than the offensive task.

Just before the game began, the fans at the scene saw that Ecuador was playing a defensive counterattack, and they must also play like this. As a weak team, it is by no means a wise choice to fight against the England team with the strongest offensive firepower.

In addition to Delgado and Kawedes in the forward line, the other starting players in Ecuador are Valencia, Mendes, Ayorvi, Tenorio, Ambrosi, De La Cruz, Ultado, Espinosa, and the goalkeeper is Bellaforte.

.........

The game has just begun. While Ecuador's foothold is still unstable, England launched a fierce offensive frenzy against Ecuador!

The attack at the beginning of the game made Ecuador look a little flustered. They didn't expect that the other side would organize a threatening attack so quickly, instead of tacitly testing.

There is actually a reason.

In the past, England would never do this. Erickson's team has always had poor means to score, but now England is different, because they have Don Jack, which is the guarantee of scoring. As long as they have the opportunity, they can score goals. All English players dare to attack, although this will bring hidden dangers to defense. But they believe that their side must have scored more goals than their opponents: or because they have Don Jack.

This is the effect of a star!

But at least it makes the team full of momentum. In fact, many times football matches are full of momentum. It can also be said that the fight is 'to see who dares to fight more'. Erickson's tactical style was originally conservative, but now the English team has a greater influence on Don Jack than the coach, because what he said is more credible than tactics. .

England's everything is mainly offensive. When the formation is opened, the two full-backs will continue to assist and return. Only the central defender and the midfielder in the middle will be slightly delayed. This kind of play is very open and looks like a little crisis, but England's fierce attack makes up for this. Coupled with Don Jack's effective interception ability in the middle, Ecuador rarely has a chance to fight back at the beginning.

This kind of tactic is not only driven by Don Jack's strength. Before the game, when Erikson specifically arranged the tactics, he put forward such offensive tactics. He sought opportunities with a large-scale overwhelming attack and defended with attack. With only two stable central defenders in the backcourt, it would be difficult for the opponent to hit the ball through the half.

It can be analyzed from a tactical point of view that this kind of play is suitable for strong and weak. If you encounter an opponent with equal strength and can't attack for a long time, or is frequently counterattacked by the other party at the beginning, then the victory belongs to the other party.

But it is obvious that the guys on the Brazilian plateau do not have the strength to compete with England!

They are oppressed and have no resistance.

The fans in the audience keep cheering, especially the English fans. For them, the current game is the most exciting. Their team is crushing the Ecuador game. Their favorite thing to see is this kind of game, but for neutral fans, the game is not very meaningful. If Inge If Lan wins in this situation, this is just a battle between the strong and the weak, and it is not a wonderful game at all.

But the game will not become 'wonderful' because of the will of the fans.

In the seventeenth minute, Gary inserted from the right. Neville created a free kick opportunity. Beckham kicked the crowd in the penalty area with an arc. John, who has always been good at grasping the commanding heights in the penalty area. When Terry couldn't shoot, he headed the ball out with the top of his head, Joe outside the penalty area. Cole received the ball and shot it head-on!

A shot of about 17 meters!

This kind of ball is generally difficult to score. 17 meters is also a long shot, and the angle is not very good. The people in the penalty area are very dense. The football is most likely to pop up on other players, but that's just the general situation.

This time, the goal was scored, and it was very strange.

Joe. Cole wanted to volley in this game, but the moment he shot, he found that it was crooked. The football flew from his feet and went straight to the sky. He thought it would be out of bounds, but the football still rotated. After rising to the high point, it fell directly. Ecuadorian goalkeeper Bella Forte didn't expect that the opponent's temporary shot would be so strange. He He didn't pick up the ball. It was not until the moment the football drilled into the net that he knew that the opponent had scored.

Goalkeeper Bella Forte was stunned, followed by cheers from the whole audience. With the cheers, the expressions of the players of the two teams became diametrically opposite. The Ecuadorian players mourned, and the English players rejoiced to celebrate the goal.

"Goooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!"

"Joe-Col--"

"The goal is scored! What a wonderful shot, a long-range shot from 15 meters away, a beautiful arc! Cole's shot was very strange. The Ecuadorian goalkeeper thought that the football was going to be out of the bottom line, but he didn't expect that the football would fly towards the goal, Joe. Cole shot an extraordinary ball..."

"From his stunned expression, I think this ball may have a lot of luck."

But anyway, the goal is scored, Joe. Cole became the hero of England. He set the record for the first time in the game. England led 1-0!"
