Invincible Haaland at the start

Chapter 162 Which door did God close for him...

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Lin Yun stood up like a carp, and ran to the corner flag area.

With one hand on hips and the other hand grabbing the top of the corner flag, head held high, looking down on the audience!
"Lin Yun scored on his debut! Almost two months before his 19th birthday, Lin Yun scored his first goal in the World Cup, becoming the second youngest goal in England's history who!" Lineker yelled.

Owen, sitting next to him, was the youngest World Cup goal scorer in England's history when he was only 18 years and 190 days old.

Owen immediately took a look at Versailles, "But I didn't score in my debut at the time. I only scored in the second game, and I came off the bench at that time..."

At the same age, Owen appeared in the World Cup as a new star and a surprise player, and became famous with one goal in the game against Argentina, while Lin Yun is now playing as the number one star of the Three Lions. The defensive treatment they received Obviously not the same.

Owen continued: "Lin made Batistuta's famous corner flagpole celebration. It seems that he is not paying tribute to me, but Batistuta. You know, Batistuta is in his own Had a hat-trick on his World Cup debut, maybe Lin is using that to push himself..."

Rooney rushed to Lin Yun at almost full speed and jumped.

Lin Yun quickly reached out and hugged him.

Only with the wrong name and no wrong nickname, Xiaopang is really dead...

Everyone looked at the two who were laughing and celebrating, feeling somewhat weird.

Rooney, participating in the World Cup for the third time, played 9 times, totaled 635 minutes, and scored 0 goals.

Lin Yun, participated in the World Cup for the first time, played 1... No, strictly speaking, now it is at most 0.4 times, a total of 40 minutes, and 1 goal.

Although you are the top scorer of the active national team and has scored 39 goals for the England team, Rooney's World Cup results are almost zero.

The assist was the first time he was directly involved in a goal in nine World Cup appearances.

As for Lin Yun, he scored in his first show, and his efficiency is amazing.

In the past, everyone looked at Rooney, no matter how they looked at him, they only thought that there was such a son in British football, and the revival plan was just around the corner.

Now that I have a comparison, I realize that these are all magic things...

Lineker is clearly not too happy with Rooney either.

"If Hodgson stuffed four Liverpool players in the starting line-up to replicate the way the Reds played last season, Rooney played exactly the same role as Liverpool midfielder Coutinho.

However, in contrast, Coutinho seems to know better than Rooney how to coordinate the team's offense in the midfielder position. In the opening 40 minutes, Rooney was completely free except for this impressive assist for Lin. Outside of the team's offensive system, the overall performance can only be described as abysmal!
Of course, what is gratifying is that the combination of Lin Yun + Rooney has achieved the effect everyone expected. We only hope that they can continue to maintain it and support England's striker for the next ten years! "

The camera turns from the celebrating players to Hodgson.

Huo Taigong excitedly embraced the assistant coach, and then applauded, but the next second, the camera suddenly changed and cut to the other side of the coach's bench.

At some point, there was a person lying on a stretcher there.

Taking a closer look, the person who was suddenly injured was not a player, but the England team doctor Gary Levin...

Lineker and Owen looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders ironically.

"...England's doctor Gary Lewin was too excited to celebrate, stepped on the water bottle, sprained his ankle, and became the first injured player to leave the World Cup...well, England team members," Lai said. Inker shook his head, "Michael, do you know much about Levin?"

"Of course, when I was still in the national team, he was the team doctor," Owen said. "Lewin joined Arsenal when he was very young. Na didn't renew his contract, but... well, let him change careers as a team doctor..."

If you are not a good general, you are a good doctor!
At the age of 19, Levin changed suddenly, from the goalkeeper of the Arsenal reserve team to the team doctor of the Arsenal reserve team.

Although he has no talent in goalkeeping, Levin has potential in treating injuries. After studying in a medical school for three years, he officially became Arsenal's first-team doctor.

When David Locaster swallowed his tongue in 1989, it was Levine who pried open his jaw and saved his life.

In the 2007 League Cup final, Chelsea captain John Terry was kicked in the head by Arsenal midfielder Diaby, and he fell into a coma. Probably saved his own life.

In 2008, Arsenal striker Eduardo Da Silva broke his leg, and it was precisely because of Levin's immediate handling that he saved the former's career, for which Levin has been praised.

Levine served Arsenal for 22 years until 2008 when the Football Association called him into the England team and his nephew Colin took over as the Arsenal team doctor.

Speaking of it, Levin's injury this time is actually a good inheritance of the "tradition" of the England coaching staff: before the 2012 European Cup match between Britain and France, England's goalkeeper coach Clemens was injured strangely and was helped off the field by team doctor Levin , and now it was Levin himself who sat on the stretcher.

Lin Yun, who was robbed of the scene, only knew what happened after his teammates informed him.

It can only be said that strange flowers are also a kind of heritage, and the heritage must be passed down...

The first half was coming to an end. After kick-off again, both sides focused on stability and did not attack lightly. The first 45 minutes of the game ended without a hitch.

1-1, the outcome has to be reserved for the second half.

Back in the locker room, Hodgson was naturally not satisfied with the team's performance.

England made a threat 10 minutes before the game, but in the next [-] minutes, they were almost always beaten by their opponents.

If Lin Yun hadn't maintained a strong deterrent force in the frontcourt and used his personal ability to recover a goal, England's current situation would probably be even more difficult.

The gap is mainly in the midfield.

This season, Liverpool is very strong and once reached the third place in the league. In addition to Suarez's explosion, the midfield combination of Gerrard and Henderson also contributed a lot, so Hodgson directly arranged these two brothers in the national team Into the starting lineup.

As a result, the performance of the veteran against the veteran, the captain against the captain, and Team Jie's performance was significantly worse than that of Sleepy on the opposite side.

Fortunately, Lin Yun's goal happened to come from Gerrard's steal, otherwise the captain of the national team would not know what he would be sprayed with after the game.

Gerrard himself knew it well, so he patted Lin Yun on the shoulder gratefully, "The goal is beautiful. You did what Pele didn't do."

Lin Yun has also seen Bailey's failed shot. He was inspired by Bailey when he chose not to touch the ball and pass the ball directly. Get up, "It's just luck, let me do it again and I may not be able to enter."

"This is even more rare," Gerrard thought of something bad, and his face became unsightly. "The most precious attribute of a player is to be able to explode stronger than usual at critical moments. In that respect, you're already on top of the world."

Liverpool had a chance to rush to second in the league this season, but because of one of his slips, it directly became third.

Fortunately, it was not a championship match, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Lin Yun smiled, and acquiesced to his statement, "It's just that I'm stronger in my heart..."

In the CCTV studio, famous football commentators Zhang Lu and Xu Yang also commented on the first half of the game.

"Both teams didn't give their best, they both played very cautiously, and both were afraid of the opponent's attack.

The other one is that they are all going for the championship, so they will not go all out.

England's defensive counterattack is more Italian than Italy, which also reflects a current trend in the world.

England's front line is intimidating, but it doesn't give full play at the beginning, and we have seen it, and it can score goals when it does.

Lin Yun is still the same Lin Yun, no team in the Premier League or the Champions League can find a defender who can really guard against him, and it is estimated that there will be no defender in the World Cup..."

"Italy's defense has exposed very big problems, and there are also problems with personal ability.

Pirlo has strong offensive ability, but not enough defensively.

England's weakness lies in his double midfielder, behind Gerrard and Henderson, and the central defender is empty. "

Xu Yang bluntly said that this was the most exciting half-time goal since the start of the World Cup, "These two goals fully demonstrated the technical characteristics of the two teams. Italy really has experience in playing tactics.

This is the most exciting 45 minutes since the start of the World Cup. The tactical confrontation is very good. England played a defensive counterattack. Rooney’s position changed a lot. At the front, Lin Yun became a free man.

In the Champions League final, he played like this, and the effect was very good. Maybe Hodgson can refer to it, maybe there will be surprises. "

Hodgson seemed to have heard Xu Yang's words, and said to Lin Yun: "Lin, in the second half, you move back and let Wayne come forward. You...well, play freely."

Everyone looked at the old man in surprise.

Boy, play freely... What kind of tactic is this?
Hodgson also reacted immediately, which seemed a bit irresponsible, and quickly remedied: "I need you to revitalize our frontcourt, strengthen our impact from the midfield to the area in front of the opponent's penalty area, use your speed, You can try long-range shots when necessary, as long as you are active, their midfield will be contained..."

Italy used the set of the peak Milan's front midfielder and rear, and the offensive center was with Pirlo. Hodgson obviously wanted to put a burden on Pirlo and contribute more to defense.

On the other hand, the tactics of the Italian team in the second half also revolved around how to limit Lin Yun.

Naturally, this issue is not being paid attention to now, and the defensive plan is naturally not being brought up now, but needs to be constantly emphasized and reinforced.

De Rossi hadn't gotten out of the conceded goal, and murmured: "It is said that when God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you, but his window has already opened, God Which door did he close?"

Pirlo patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about such disgusting questions, do you only know now? Some people are born to be the darlings of heaven..."

"Who?" De Rossi retorted before he could finish. "Ronaldo and Van Basten? Injuries! Messi and Maradona? Height! Weaknesses and shortcomings! But what about the guy opposite, who can tell me what his weaknesses are? Physically? Technically? Psychologically?"

Pirlo was speechless, but he also knew that he couldn't let this kind of thinking continue to grow, and said patiently: "As long as you are a human being, you will have weaknesses. If you don't feel it, it's just that you haven't found it! What you need to do now is Find it and beat him instead of thinking desperately how powerful and invincible the opponent is at such an important time."

De Rossi rubbed his face, shook his head, forced the negative emotions out of his head, and was full of fighting spirit again, "I see, the game is just halfway through, they haven't won yet, and we haven't lost yet .”

Pradley naturally noticed the change in Lin Yun's position at the end of the first half.

He didn't know whether it was Lin Yun's own initiative or Hodgson's arrangement, but he believed that England would definitely do that in the second half after tasting the sweetness, so he immediately adjusted his defensive strategy.

We need someone who can follow Lin Yun all over the field, and at the same time, we need to set up a lot of defense lines to prevent him from rushing.

At the beginning of the second half, only De Rossi was left beside Lin Yun, and Barzagli was finally relieved and returned to the position of central defender.

With one less bodyguard, Lin Yun felt more pressure.

It seems that the attention of every Italian around is on him.

Not to mention taking the ball, as long as there is a ball ready to pass, the surrounding Italian players immediately run without hesitation, trying their best to cut off the passing route between teammates and him.

Lin Yun was also on fire.

In the 52nd minute of the game, as soon as Gerrard took the ball, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

Don't pass it to my feet, hit the front!
The Jie team understood, and although they still passed the ball to Lin Yun, they gave an outrageous lead.

De Rossi cried out inwardly, and hurriedly used his hands and feet to pull Lin Yun up.

Lin Yun stretched out his hand to block, pushed his hand away, and then bounced on the spot, chasing after the football that fell more than five meters in front of him.

Verratti was closer to the football, but seeing Lin Yun sprinting, he didn't even have the courage to pass back. He just wanted to catch up with the football quickly and destroy the ball out of the boundary.

But Lin Yun didn't even give him this chance.

accelerate!accelerate!Overtake!Eat it raw!Throw the ball hard and throw it in stride!

Ride a thousand miles alone!
