However, Southgate's reaction was quickly warned by the referee on the field.

Fang Cheng didn't expect that the head coach would lose his temper so quickly today.

It seems that the pressure is extremely great.

But soon, Southgate finally calmed down.

Seeing Mount make another mistake while dribbling the ball on the field, Southgate took a pen and wrote it down in his notebook.

On the field, Saka felt that the captain should not be asked to do everything, otherwise what was the point of them being on the field.

Soon after Saka received the pass from his teammate, he dribbled the ball through the wing, but it was so sudden that the Danish wing defenders were unable to react.

then,

He saw Foden on the left side of the penalty area.
Then he used superb crossing skills.

The football flew over the heads of several people entering the game and landed accurately at Foden's feet.

However, Foden seemed to be caught off guard because there was a slight flaw in his stop, which prevented him from volleying directly.
He stopped the ball and went to the bottom line of the penalty area.

So the only option was to pass the ball back.

The football flew towards Harry Kane in an inverted triangle trajectory.

Ali Kane didn't expect Foden to pass the ball to him, and thought he was going to shoot himself near the baseline, so Harry Kane had to take a hurried low shot.

The shot hit the defender directly.

There was a dull sound.

The football refracted after the impact and flew directly to the baseline.

The Danish team performed an excellent defense, and the defenders shook hands and hugged each other.

Seeing this scene, Harry Kane was speechless.

If this was going to be spread, why didn’t it be spread earlier?
When he passed the ball back the second time, the defensive players had already marked him.
Isn't this intended to embarrass him?
Head coach Southgate couldn't help but wail on the sidelines.

He suspected that these people didn't get enough rest after playing games last night, as each one was more addictive than the other.

If it was just a slump and no effective attack,

But after the attack started, some strange problems always occurred.

Soon, three minutes later, the British team had another chance to attack.

Rice made a diagonal pass from the midfield.
The football flew in a beautiful arc.

Accurately passed to Foden.

Foden is at the top of the arc in front of the penalty area.

This time he stopped the ball and faced close defense. He made a lob pass.

The pass went into the penalty area.

Harry Kane was desperately fighting for the ball with the opposing player in the middle, and in the split second before he fell to the ground, he completed a shot.

The football flew to the lower right corner of the goal.

The Danish goalkeeper made a desperate save and almost stopped the ball on the goal line.

This scene made many English fans happy for nothing.

Southgate was ready to celebrate, but he almost fell to his knees.

This is why opportunities cannot be wasted. The first time, they may have failed to seize the opportunity, causing their shot to deviate from the target.

There was nothing wrong with their attack the second time, but who knows if the opponent's defense will make mistakes.

Soon, half an hour passed.
The Danish team was not satisfied with just defending. When they saw that England's offensive momentum had declined, they immediately tried to press forward.

The game became a switch between offense and defense. Hojbjerg, with the help of his teammates, launched a long pass.

The football fell into the penalty area with a long arc like a meteor.
Mikel Dames reacted quickly.

When he saw the pass, he instantly realized that this was a great opportunity.

He quickly moved forward, ready to receive the pass.

This is a very dangerous time.
Maguire made a misjudgment during the check-out. He failed to stop the ball and kicked it to Mikel Dames' feet.

Mikel Dames accepted the gift and shot the ball immediately.

This push shot was very fierce.

However, the England team's goalkeeper is very experienced. When he saw the opponent's long pass, he immediately left the goal.

It just so happened that the opponent's shot hit him directly. It hit the goalkeeper directly.

"It was a close call. England almost made a major mistake, but the goalkeeper made up for it."

"What happened to England's defense today? Did the opponent know their weakness in this line?"

"It can be seen that the captain's absence has had a great impact on this England team."

“Southgate could be seen taking notes on the sidelines.”

"What kind of adjustments will Southgate make in the second half? Can Fang Cheng come on as a substitute smoothly in the second half?"

It wasn't just those outside the pitch who noticed Southgate's note-taking, the England players on the pitch noticed it too.

They also knew that they didn't play very well today, so when they saw that the first half was about to end, they seized the time to launch an attack.

They want to use the last few minutes to prove that they have no problems today.

Foden took the ball on the left and chose to go inside.

Many people thought he was going to shoot, but this time he did not choose to kick the ball himself.

Instead, he passed the ball into the penalty area.

This pass really caught many people off guard, including the Danish players.

But the opponent's defensive player's second reaction was indeed very quick.

However, the cross was blocked by the defender, causing England's attack to be thwarted again.

The ball fell to the feet of the Danish midfielder. The situation on the field suddenly changed. If it was not handled properly, the British team might suffer a quick counterattack from the opponent.

Fortunately, Rice rushed over in time.

Take the lead and kick the ball away from the opponent's feet.

Then he caught up with the ball and chose to volley it hard outside the penalty area.

The football slid across the grass at high speed.

No one expected that the changes on the field would happen so quickly, not even the goalkeeper could react.

But unfortunately, the football almost hit the post and flew out of the field.
England were just centimetres away from scoring.

There was no way out. The first half ended here and players from both sides returned to the midfield locker room with a hint of regret.

Southgate did not hesitate at all and made substitutions during the halftime break.

Let Fang Cheng stay on the court to warm up and prepare to play at the start of the second half.

He was very thankful that Fang Cheng had only suffered a minor injury during training. It was not a big problem. If he missed the entire game, he was not sure if England could advance to the final of the European Cup.

Soon after the second half of the game started, many people watching the game noticed that the England team made a substitution so quickly, replacing Mount with Fang Cheng. (End of this chapter)
