The football passed through the goalkeeper's sight like a flash of lightning.
At this moment, countless viewers around the world were staring at this scene.

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, the Scottish goalkeeper made a desperate save.

He quickly moved to the side of the goal, with all his strength?

The football still flew into the goal.

The score is 1:3!

England extended their lead.

Saka rushed to the sidelines and celebrated with the captain who provided the assist.

When the Scottish players saw this, they were filled with disappointment.

There are only three group matches in the European Cup, and it can be said that every game is very important.

Now Scotland has not won a game, while England has a draw. If England wins today's game, they will have a great chance of advancing to the round of 16 of the European Cup.

So in order to qualify, Scotland launched a desperate counterattack.

After the two teams fought for a long time in the midfield, Scotland finally formed an offensive with great difficulty.
McGregor dribbles the ball.

Quickly found O'Donnell's space on the left side of the penalty area.

He used his physical advantage to avoid the British defenders.
With a precise missed ball,
Passed the football to O'Donnell.

O'Donnell did not waste his teammate's pass.

He didn't stop the ball and just shot it.

The football flew straight towards the British team's goal with a strong wind.

Although this time it was blocked by the goalkeeper.

The Scottish spectators in the stadium also burst into applause.

They have been encouraging players to fight hard on the field.

However, the Scottish players still looked frustrated.
Because they know how much Scottish fans want to see their team reverse the score, but as football players on the field, they just can't accomplish this difficult task.

Every offensive opportunity they have is hard-won.
But they failed every time.

In the 84th minute, with the game about to end, Che Adams used his dribbling skills to try to break through to the penalty area.

However, the British team has built a solid defense in the backcourt.

So Che Adams had no choice but to take a lob shot.

The football flew towards the goal quickly, but the angle was not good and was easily saved by the goalkeeper.

Soon, the game entered the overtime period, and Scotland still found it difficult to get an absolute scoring opportunity.

A teammate threw an inbounds ball, and Che Adams wanted to catch the ball in the penalty area.

Even if he dribbled past the British defender behind him,
But a second defensive player came over.

Che Adams only has the goal in his eyes.

Kick the football towards the goal with force.

The football rolled quickly on the ground and headed towards the goal.

The English goalkeeper had no time to react.
He tried to quickly fall to the ground to block the shot.
However, the speed of the football exceeded his expectations.

He didn't touch the football.

Then there was a bang, and the football hit the back post hard and bounced out of the penalty area.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

He indicated that Scotland was offside.

The Scottish players still wanted to grab the ball, but they missed all their chances.

In the end, at the end of the game, the British team achieved one draw and one win in the group stage.

However, even if this is the case, the British team has many possibilities to advance, and many people still feel that the British team will not go far in the European Cup with such performance.

During the live broadcast abroad, many people were discussing it heatedly.

"At the end of the game, England had one win and one draw, but is this a good enough record for the European Cup? I don't think they can go far."

"To be honest, the British team's performance is really confusing because of the coach's tactics. How can they achieve good results if they continue like this?"

"Foreign audiences are complaining about the English coach, saying that his tactics are problematic and he can't arrange the lineup properly. It's really frustrating!"

"Even after recruiting Fang Cheng, the game was still so difficult. The British team's operation is really unique."

"The British team didn't live up to their reputation. They were hyped so highly before the game, but this is the result? Disappointing!"

"Harry Kane is always weak in big games, this European Championship is really in jeopardy"

"It's not a good thing to have too many British stars. I feel like the competition within their team is too intense, which affects the overall performance."

"I can't tell what the British team's tactics are. They are just relying on the individual abilities of their stars to play."

"The performance of the British team this time is really surprising. I hope they can get back to their form in the next games."

"It looks like the British team will face a tough time in this European Championship. I'm really worried about them. I hope they can prove themselves."

"After all, they are a strong and established team. Maybe they will give us some surprises later on?"

"I hope they can adjust their form in the next game. After all, the game is not over yet and there is still a chance for everything."

However, the outside noise did not affect Fang Cheng and he rushed back to the hotel to rest.

During this period, some reporters from outside wanted to interview him.

However, he is now refusing all interviews. If reporters want to interview him, they have to wait until the European Cup is over.

The next opponent of the British team in the European Cup is the Czech Republic.
The time is April 6st.

In the evening, Saka read the comments about the British team on the Internet and felt uncomfortable, so he ran over to talk to the captain.

"Captain, what do you think we can achieve in the European Cup this year?"

Fang Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think the British national team can achieve?"

Saka hesitated for a moment and said, "At least we have to get to the top four, right?"

Fang Cheng smiled and said, "Your goal is simple, why don't you think about the championship?"

Saka sighed and said: "Because I feel that the comments on the Internet do make some sense. I feel that I have been training with my teammates for so long, and I don’t feel any tactics. It’s all about our ability to read the game. Now it’s so difficult to play against the Scottish team. I feel that if I want to enter the final, I must rely on good luck."

Fang Cheng nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong with what you said. However, every game in the European Cup is not that easy. Do you think we are playing against some relegation teams with no fighting spirit in the Premier League? This national team is related to the collective honor of many people, so we must fight hard. How can we win a game easily? If we want to achieve good results, we have to fight for every game."

Saka thought about it and felt the same way. It seemed that they would have to push their opponents harder later on.

"We must win the European Cup. I want to make those who underestimate us regret it."

Time passed quickly, and on June 6, the British team played against the Czech team.

This game will determine which team between Britain and Croatia will advance as the group leader.

However, just two minutes into the game, Schick resisted Maguire's interference in the penalty area.

When Maguire saw that the ball was about to be shot at close range at Schick's feet, Maguire could not help it, because if there was a shot at this distance, the goalkeeper behind him would not be able to react at all.

If this ball was lost, Maguire would be the biggest culprit.

So there was no other choice, Maguire had no choice but to knock Schick down in the penalty area.

The referee's whistle sounded on time.

A penalty kick was decisively awarded.

England suffered the worst blow right from the start.

The England players immediately surrounded the referee and pleaded with him.

but,

The Czech players are already discussing how to deal with this penalty.

In the end, it was Hick who stood up.

As the team's first penalty taker, he must take the initiative to assume this important responsibility. He took the football and slowly walked to the penalty spot.

The British players tried to interfere with Schick in various ways.

Fang Cheng was a little speechless after reading this. I felt ashamed to be associated with these people.

Hick was not bothered by the distractions.

He calmly observed the goalkeeper's position.
Then he started slowly and shot slowly.

The football hit the target with a bang and flew straight to the lower right side of the goal.

The English goalkeeper made a quick save.

But the speed of football is too fast.
There was no way to stop the ball from going into the net.

When the football flies into the goal,

The Czech fans at the scene were all excited.

Unexpectedly, they were the first to break the deadlock, dealing such a heavy blow to the most valuable English team in Europe.

If they defend well next time, they might have a chance to defeat England.

The underdog defeating the strong is always the biggest attraction in football.

This goal means a lot to the Czech team.

Of course, there was a sense of heaviness felt throughout the British team.

They cannot make any more mistakes next time, otherwise it will definitely affect their ranking in the group stage.

In the 9th minute, England's players still relied on their overall strength.

This put the Czech team's defense under tremendous pressure.

Fang Cheng got the ball.

He and Saka did a wall pass.

Fang Cheng got another chance to shoot.

He quickly kicked the football towards the goal.

At that moment, all the cameras in the stadium were focused on the rapidly spinning football.

Just as the football ball was about to fly into the goal, suddenly, the referee's whistle sounded.

Because it was confirmed by the video referee,
Fang Cheng was slightly offside when he kicked the ball, so the goal was ruled out.

Fang Cheng was speechless.

Another offside at the body hair level!
The fans of the British team were also angry and cursed the referee.

But these are the rules of the game. Players and fans have no choice but to accept them.

The England players had no choice but to continue to patiently organize the passes and attack.

The Czech team was also patient in defending. They did not go beyond half the court and patiently marked every English player in their second half.

Even if the Czech team got the opportunity to counterattack, they would not deploy too many people to do so.

Only two or three people were needed to launch a counterattack, because they were now in the lead in the score, and there was no need to take the risk of letting the England team attack the gaps in their defense.

On the 15th minute,

The Czech team created an opportunity to counterattack.

They made a precise long pass.

The ball was sent over Schick's head.

Hick used his height to stop the ball in a one-on-one situation.
He dribbled the ball to the penalty area.

Facing the England defenders, he was very calm and chose to kick a long shot into the far corner of the goal.

But the Czech team's home field seemed to play a joke on him.

It should be because the grass in the penalty area was watered too much. The football bounced on the grass in the penalty area and then made an unexpected strange arc.

Finally the refraction bounced out of the court.

Just when Czech fans were regretting that this attack did not result in a goal,
The referee's whistle sounded again.

After careful judgment, VAR believed that Schick was slightly offside when he received the ball, so the attack was also ruled invalid.

Well, the fans of the Czech team don’t have to feel sorry for not scoring a goal.

Today's VRr referee did not favor one over the other.

The England team was judged to be offside by a body hair, and the Czech team was also judged to be offside by a body hair.

The ball was played again and the English players again took control of the tempo of the game.

If we ignore the score deficit, their current organization and passing of the ball is at a very high technical level.

20 minutes.

Mount was controlling the ball in the backcourt.

Suddenly, during the rapid personnel changes, he suddenly observed that Fang Cheng in the frontcourt was running in an excellent position.

Then a clear loophole in the defense line appeared in his observation.

Without hesitation, Mount quickly made a long pass.

The equation was like a sports car, instantly activating its performance mode.

He easily passed the ball and quickly broke through the defensive players on the wing.

Then he quickly went down the field, looking for an opportunity to shoot.

The ball was about to go out of the end line and there was almost no space for shooting.

At this moment, Cheng Fang's muscles were tense, like a hydraulic engine ready to go.

He kicked suddenly and shot with great force.

The football drew a straight line and flew towards the goal.

However, the opponent's goalkeeper was not a rookie, and he quickly rushed out.
He held the football firmly in his arms.

Despite not scoring a goal,

But the equation was not affected at all.

Football is like this, you can play well, but at the same time the opponent may also play at his best.

In this situation, the only thing I can do is to continue to look for opportunities patiently and seize the scoring opportunities in the precious time.

In the 26th minute, the English players were still besieging the Czech team's back half.

After seeing that the opponent was defending his wing tightly, Fang Cheng did not fight like a fool. Instead, he chose to return to the midfield to organize the pass. The advantage of doing this is that it can confuse the Czech team's defensive players.

As expected, this time the Czech players were a little unsure whether they should follow Fang Cheng all the way to defend.
If you follow him, it will be easy to disrupt your defense.

If you don't follow him, it will be easy for him to create opportunities to pass the ball or shoot.

Fang Cheng seized the opportunity during this time difference, spotted a gap in the opponent's defense, and accurately delivered the most perfect diagonal pass.

The ball was sent to Saka's feet near the Czech team's baseline.

Saka prepares for the ball.

As he was about to kick the ball, the opposing defensive player suddenly rushed out and tried to snatch the ball.

Saka responded quickly.
But the opponent was very fierce and rushed over with a sliding tackle.

The football bounced between the two men.

Finally rolled out of the sideline.
