The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

The deficit in the score only encouraged England to continue attacking.

The Czech team was certainly not willing to be outdone, and both sides invested a large number of players in the midfield to strangle the opponent.

The equation is still the one player who is closely marked.

In the 30th minute, the intensity of the game did not decrease because both sides still had plenty of energy.
But on the surface, there seemed to be no exciting offense, only fierce physical confrontation.

The Czech team did not hesitate to commit tactical fouls to disrupt England's offensive organization.

The referee today also encouraged this kind of physical confrontation. So this is a bit disadvantageous for England. The attacking side bears more pressure, and is also disturbed by such small movements, which is a headache.

The way to deal with the equation is to return to the midfield to receive the pass. This is the same as when he played for Arsenal, a free man throughout the game. Southgate trusts his ability very much and gives him special privileges.

The head coach of the Jack team also anticipated England's core style of play, so their response was to send a special player to do nothing but focus on running the equation.

Wherever England's core goes, that's where the man's defence must follow.

However, even in the face of such limitations, Fang Cheng found a brief moment to pass the ball during the fierce physical confrontation.

He successfully kicked a precise long pass to the empty space behind the opponent.

Saka and Fang Cheng are old teammates who have worked together for a long time.

Having noticed the space behind the opponent in advance, Saka started immediately the moment Fang Cheng passed the ball.

Although Saka's absolute speed is not fast, he starts early, leaving the opponent's defensive players no time to turn around.

Saka sprints towards the penalty area.

He caught up with the football like a whirlwind.

When Saka was about to have a one-on-one chance, suddenly, the defender of the opposing team rushed out of the penalty area.

He stared at Saka with his eyes, and showed no mercy with his feet.
A fierce sliding tackle knocked Saka to the ground.

Faced with this fierce sliding tackle, Saka screamed, fell to the ground in pain, covering the injured part.

All the English fans in the stadium immediately burst into fierce curses.

This defensive move is simply murder.

This was not the first time the Czech team fouled Saka.

Sure enough, the referee ran over with an expressionless face.

Immediately the whistle was blown,
A yellow card is shown to an opposing player.

That’s right, it’s a yellow card.

When the English fans in the stadium saw that it was just a yellow card, they immediately burst into boos.

England's teammates also protested to the referee.

Fortunately, Saka did not get injured.

England were awarded a free kick outside the penalty area.

Fang Cheng saw that the opponent's wall in the penalty area was very tight and there was almost no chance for him to shoot directly.

So he kicked a cross into the penalty area.

Ali Kane and Maguire are both the tallest players of the England team. They immediately endured the interference of the opposing players and rushed to score.

So, the two people were only looking at the ball and not the people, and accidentally bumped into each other.

This resulted in no one being able to head the ball into the penalty area.
England missed a goal.

In the 40th minute of the game,

The Czech team still chose to defend comprehensively. The entire formation barely went beyond half court.

Facing this bus, Fang Cheng has been running back and forth as hard as he can, trying to find a chance to pass the ball. He is in the penalty area, facing the opponent's dense defense.

In such a small penalty area space, he still dodged and tried to get rid of the entanglement of the defensive players.

Constantly using fake moves gives the defensive players a lot of headaches.

At this moment, Saka lightly lifted the ball into the penalty area.

The equation found a gap,
Aiming towards the goal,

He shot immediately.

However, the Czech team's central defender was willing to use his injured posture to block Fang Cheng's shot.

His strength was so great that the football hit the opponent with a bang and then flew to the side of the goal.

Many spectators at the scene heard the loud noise. They were really competing hard.

Immediately afterwards, the game quickly entered the injury time of the first half.

The score was still 1:0. England still hadn't equalized.

If they don't catch up quickly, the situation on the field may become more complicated in the second half.

As the absolute core player,
Successfully blocked a difficult long pass from his teammate on the left.

In the audience seats near the sidelines, many spectators were dazzled and couldn't help but applaud for this high-quality pass.

However, Fang Cheng did not stop for a moment. He seized the opportunity and quickly passed the ball to Harry Kane in the penalty area.

Harry Kane got the ball, turned around and shot.

There was absolutely no change in Harry Kane's shot, which made it easy for the goalkeeper to predict his movements.

The football flew into the goalkeeper's arms with great force.

"What is Harry Kane doing? He chose to shoot directly. This ball did not test the goalkeeper's save at all."

"He should have passed the ball towards the baseline because we could see that Cheng was already moving forward and he didn't realise that and chose to shoot himself."

"What a shame, this was England's best chance to score in the final minutes of the first half."

"It's a pity that Harry Kane didn't seize the opportunity, he didn't save the England team!"

England coach Southgate looked very upset on the sidelines.
He stretched out his hands to Harry Kane on the field.

This is to express his incomprehension. With such a good opportunity just now, why didn't Harry Kane realize that the equation was rushing towards the opponent's baseline.

If Harry Kane passes the ball, the equation will be to shoot at a small angle near the baseline.

Even if Fang Cheng does not choose to shoot, there are still many options, and he can also pass the ball to Harry Kane.

Because if the equation draws everyone's attention away, then Harry Kane will have a better chance to shoot.

Unfortunately, Harry Kane was too anxious and chose to shoot hastily, without testing the opponent's goalkeeper at all.

At halftime, both teams were busy arranging tactical changes for the second half in the locker room.

The Czech team seemed a little relaxed. They did not expect that their team would lead the most valuable English team by one goal in the first half.

And judging from the performance of England's forwards in the first half, their condition today was clearly a little off.

This is very good news for the Czech team.

If they don't make mistakes in the second half and continue their defensive performance in the first half.

Then they have a good chance of defeating the strong England team.

In the England team's locker room, everyone had heavy expressions on their faces as they listened carefully to the tactical arrangements made by head coach Southgate. (End of this chapter)
