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

"The current score is very unfavorable for England."

"If they fail to beat the Jacks in this game, it will affect their ranking in the group stage and will also affect the subsequent draw."

"The important thing is England's defense. If there are problems in the second half, you are not thinking about this game, but will affect the knockout round of 16 of the European Cup."

"It all depends on how Southgate adjusts the squad. This performance does not reflect the value of the England team at all."

The commentator of the European Cup carefully analyzed the content of the first half of the game in the live broadcast room.

Many people also expressed their opinions in the live broadcast room.

"I don't understand why Fang Cheng wants to join the England team? Isn't this just wasting his time?"

"If England can't even beat the Czech Republic, then they should stop hosting the Champions League final at their own Wembley Stadium."

"Please Southgate, please resign on your own initiative. If you continue like this, it will not only delay yourself, but also the England team."

"They don't know how to play with such a good lineup. If it were me, I would put all the main players of Arsenal into the starting lineup of the England team."

"That's right, Arsenal still has too few main players. They have already won the championship, why don't they use more Arsenal players?"

"Let's give the England team a little more time. Maybe they are slow to warm up this year and haven't found their match form yet."

"Throughout the first half, I only saw Fang Cheng and Saka showing the desire to win. I don't know what the other players were thinking, but I want to ask if Harry Kane played today?"

Soon, it was the second half.

The Czech team was unwilling to be left out and took the lead in launching a fast break in an attempt to expand the score.

That was a decision they made at halftime.

After all, considering the overall strength of the two teams, it is definitely unrealistic to beat England 1:0.

Fortunately, the England players did not make any mistakes. They reacted quickly and defended against the Czech attack.

When the Czech team saw that their opening fast break had no effect, they immediately shrank back and continued to defend and counterattack, occasionally pushing out their formation and using the rhythm to catch the English team off guard.

This style of play put some pressure on England's defense.

Now it is a test of both sides' concentration and physical strength.

In the 55th minute, England finally tore open a gap in the Czech team's defense through a series of passes.

With the help of his teammates' wall-pass, Fang Cheng got a good chance to shoot on the edge of the penalty area.

He mentally aimed at the lower right corner of the goal.

Ready to kick a powerful shot,
However, the Czech defenders still rushed over.
The football hit the defender's foot and refracted.

The goalkeeper reacted quickly, made a save immediately and put the ball into his arms.

The goalkeeper reacted quickly, made a save and held the ball in his arms.

All Jack fans in the stadium immediately burst into applause.

Cheers to the goalkeeper and defenders for their excellent defense.

The Czech team got the ball and they began to pass the ball slowly. Facing England's quick attack, they did not make any mistakes for the time being and instead slowed down England's offensive rhythm.

The England team had no solution for this situation. They could only be patient and press the opponent's players at all costs, trying to find opportunities.

On the 59th minute,

The players of the two teams engaged in a fierce confrontation in the second half of the Czech team's game, and the football accidentally rolled to Saka's feet during the fierce confrontation.

Saka immediately caught up with the ball, dribbled the ball, and successfully broke through the opponent's side defense.

Not a second to spare,
He kicked a long pass into the penalty area.

The ball went straight to Harry Kane in the penalty area.

Harry Kane started at the same time and moved forward to support with the fastest reaction.

Facing double team between goalkeeper and defender,

Harry Kane jumped high and headed the ball.

As a result, due to Harry Kane's interference, neither he nor the goalkeeper touched the ball, and the ball fell in front of the equation at the back post.

It is better to come at the right time than to come early. Fang Cheng did not waste this excellent opportunity to score an empty goal. He lightly tapped the ball with the instep of his foot and sent the ball into the goal of the visiting team.

"Okay, the ball finally went in, England finally equalized the score, and now both sides are back on the same starting line."

"It really depends on the effect of the equation for the England team."

"Of course. Harry Kane's header at the front point was also an unintentional success, which obviously shielded the captain Fang Cheng at the back point, allowing him to score into an empty goal."

"This score is not bad for England. It depends on how they choose, win or draw."

The entire stadium suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
England fans celebrated wildly, finally releasing the pressure that had been accumulating since the first half.

Because they all know how fans of other teams evaluate their team. They have the highest team value in Europe, but it is still difficult for them to play in the group stage of the European Cup.

Of course, smart people will disdain such remarks, because the greatest charm of football is that it can defeat the strong with the weak.

Lineup and value are only part of the reason for winning. The most important thing is tactics and the psychological quality of the players.

If you can judge which team will win the championship just by comparing the value of the players, then there is no need to play the game. You can just give out awards based on the strength of the lineup on paper.

The game continues,

It didn't end with England's goal.

The Jack team, whose score was tied, was very unconvinced.

They felt that the England team had the advantage in the physical confrontation, otherwise they would not have lost the ball.

So after the ball was kicked back out of the center circle, they launched the most intense attack of the second half.

The long pass found their forward Schick, who headed the ball to Rex on the wing.

Rex quickly dribbled the ball and rushed into the penalty area like a wild horse.

Attacking England's goalkeeper.

Rex did not choose to pass the ball.

Just shoot it yourself.

However, before he kicked the ball out, Maguire from the England team immediately slid in to tackle.

The football was blocked outside the penalty area.

As the game time went on, the competition between the two teams became more and more intense. Their physical fitness did not decline due to the longer game time, which led to a drop in the pace of the game.

The Czech team's desire to win has not diminished at all.
The pressure in their formation caused some small gaps in their defense.

Fang Cheng was on the right, and after receiving a wonderful pass from his teammate, he immediately passed the ball to the center of the penalty area. Even though Harry Kane had not headed the ball before, he still trusted Ali Kai's height. After all, he was a British star and one of the most expensive center forwards in Europe. He didn't believe that Harry Kane couldn't head such a good cross.

The football really found Harry Kane in front of the goal.

Harry Kane, with his legs straining, was ready to give his all to this hard-earned opportunity.

However, the Czech defensive players interfered with him, causing him to head the ball incorrectly.

The football hit the crossbar with a bang.
The beams were humming.

The goalkeeper broke out in a cold sweat.

Harry Kane held his head in his hands.

He wondered if he was really cursed.

The British team missed the opportunity to overtake the score and they had to wait until the next attack.

By the 89th minute, the score was still 1-1.

When the two teams were fighting fiercely in the midfield, a Czech player accidentally committed a foul, and the referee immediately gave the England team a chance for a midfield free kick.

Fang Cheng was in the midfield. He took a look at the opponent's defense and then decisively took a tactical free kick.

The ball found Saka who was already moving forward quickly.

He rushed towards the opponent's penalty area at a high speed.

Facing the last defender's defense,

He immediately dribbled sideways, looking for an opportunity to shoot.

suddenly,

On the edge of the penalty area, Saka found a gap and shot with all his strength.

The football flew towards the goal with great inertia.
However, the ball was still saved by the goalkeeper.

But there are English players supporting from behind.

Fang Cheng caught up with the target just in time and saw the football flying towards him.

He didn't stop the ball, but chose to shoot it directly, and the football flew back to the Czech team's goal.

This time there was no one to stop the ball from flying into the goal.

The goddess of luck finally favored England.

The English fans in this game celebrated hysterically, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't believe that they had won the game.

"Pretty!"

"Fang Fang has stood out. He is the most threatening player on the England team."

"We could see Southgate was so excited that he knelt down to celebrate on the sidelines."

"This game is very important for England! They proved themselves!"

"Congratulations to them for advancing to the round of 16 of the European Cup as the first in the group stage!"

"Once all the qualifying places for the European Cup group stage are confirmed tomorrow, the draw ceremony will take place!"

"I wonder which football powerhouse the England team will draw this time?"

"But no matter who the opponent is, the teams in the last 16 will only be strong, not weak. If England wants to win the European Cup, they must get through the last 16."

After the game, the England team accepted interviews from journalists and media from all over the world.

Head coach Southgate answered reporters' questions after the game, "We are very happy to end the group stage with this score. It is important to qualify for the European Cup round of 16 as the first in the group. This game has given us a lot of experience. We found many problems and many advantages. After returning tonight, we will sort it out and prepare for the European Cup round of 16. As for who our opponent in the round of 16 is, I don’t think it matters. What matters is that we have the confidence to advance to the final."

"As for who had the best performance tonight, I think it was definitely Cheng. He is the best player in the world and no one can replace him on the field. His two goals tonight fully proved his own strength."

After the game, Fang Cheng received the MVP award from the organizers of the European Cup.

Many domestic football fans still feel emotional when they see him conquer European football in the European Cup.

On the one hand, there is the hope that he can achieve more historical records in European football.

On the other hand, I feel that if the Chinese national football team is strong enough, there is no need to leave such good players unused.

Time passed quickly, and by the next day, all the qualifying places for the European Cup group stage had been determined.

There are Italy, England, France, Germany and so on.
They are all veteran European football powers.

In the evening, the England players gathered together to watch the draw for the round of 16 of the European Cup.

"So who do you think we can draw today?" Saka asked him while eating.

Fang Cheng smiled and said, "Eating can't stop you from eating? You'll still get kicked no matter who you pick. Do you still remember what your goal was before?"

Saka scratched his head and said: "That's what I said, but I feel it's better for us not to draw a balanced team in advance."

"Really?" British star Harry Kane came over and asked, "What was your goal before? Can you tell me about it?"

Saka laughed awkwardly, "We just want to win the championship and give a slap in the face to those who look down on us."

Harry Kane couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You are awesome. Although you set this goal without telling everyone, I can't see that you have strong confidence."

Saka was even more embarrassed.

Whether he has confidence or not, perhaps only he himself knows.

"Look, it's about to start."

At this time, Maguire on the other side shouted, looked at the TV with a very solemn expression, and reminded everyone.

To be honest, he also felt that it would be better not to draw a team with balanced strength in advance, so that he would not have too much pressure on the defense line.

But to his disappointment, England was the first to draw the lots.

The host of the European Cup draw ceremony quickly drew out England's opponents for the round of 16.

It’s not a strong opponent, just a relatively balanced German team.

"Is this true? It's the German team!" Saka couldn't help but be the first to exclaim.

Maguire kept saying to himself, it's over, it's over, he was drawn against such a balanced team in the 16 knockout matches, so the pressure on his defense would be huge.

Fang Cheng couldn't help but say to Saka: "What's there to be afraid of about this draw? It's not like we haven't drawn German giants in the Champions League before when we were in the club."

Saka scratched his head again, "Yes."

He remembered that they had met in the Champions League before, against a powerful Bundesliga giant like Bayern Munich.

Although the game was very difficult, they finally defeated this seemingly invincible giant team. (End of this chapter)
