After time travel, I can only beat up the national football team

Chapter 232 This world seems to be missing something!
The "Lower Saxony Stadium" can accommodate not many fans, but the entire viewing atmosphere is indeed much stronger than that of the comprehensive stadium.

The Macau players were already in high spirits. After coming off the field, they looked at the waves of golden people undulating in the two stands, and their blood boiled with enthusiasm.

But unlike the uncontrollable excitement in the first game, the Macau players who have played in the three group matches have now adapted to the emotional ups and downs brought about by such big scenes.

Especially after the constant pressure reduction and tactical praise in the past few days before the game, why do you feel that the English players are more nervous after playing?

"China People's Broadcasting Station, China Central Television, dear listeners..."

But speaking of nervousness, the CCTV commentary was really a little nervous now.

From the moment the lineups of the two teams were introduced, it was clear that the two commentators and guests had an overly exciting mood.

It's no wonder that they were excited. The big guys have explained too many World Cup knockout matches, even the finals, more than once.

They didn't feel particularly nervous at that time, because the two sides fighting on the field had nothing to do with China, and no matter how intense the game was, they were just spectators.

Therefore, at that time, neutrality is required for neutrality, neutrality is required for passion, and neutrality is required for professionalism!
But things are different now. One of the teams in such a world-famous competition is our own team.

However, the strength of Macau players has been tempered in the group stage, and they are indeed much better than before the World Cup started.

Backcourt: Ashley Cole (86, 1980, 172cm), Terry (88, 1980, 187cm), Ferdinand (88, 1978, 189cm), Neville (87, 1975, 180cm)

The British players at this time were also different from their earlier tall and strong physiques.

At this time, there were several players in the team who were rushing towards the mid-8 series, and many of them were just one step away from breaking through.

"Hey, it was different when we were in the first team four years ago."

"Yes, not only are we not inferior to them in height and weight, our players' overall sense of rhythm and coordination when running and making movements is also very consistent with these opponents."

Midfielder: Wang Zhen (80, 1986, 180cm), Shen Yi (84, 1984, 180cm), Zhang Desheng (97, 1985, 183cm), Tu Guangtai (84, 1984, 183cm), Li Wei (81, 1985, 174cm).

Goalkeeper: Kong Xiaochuan (85, 1984, 189cm)

澳门队今天没有踢平衡4-4-2阵型，也没有踢4-3-3控球阵型，而是继续将张公子放到前腰上，踢起了4-5-1更倾向于防守反击的阵型。

But there is an embarrassing question for the Macau team: If the England team cannot solve the conflict between Germany and Germany, can they not abuse the food?

"These idiots aren't that bad!"

As far as this position is concerned, Ashley Cole is not necessarily one of the top three left backs in the world. He may not be among the top three even among the four countries in England.

"Yeah, when our players got the ball, they either looked very uncoordinated, their movements were always a beat slower, and the whole court looked tight; or they felt like the speed was increasing, and our players were passive. He chases the ball instead of running with it. Even if no one puts pressure, he looks like he is about to lose the ball at any time; the worst thing is that he is like a headless fly on both offense and defense, always passively hitting. No matter what, you can tell by looking at the style that it has no future!”

So in theory, the Macau team really has no chance of continuing to upset the knockout round!
At this time, the starting lineup of the Macau team was also displayed on the big screen——

Such a unique youth team in the World Cup is truly unprecedented and probably will never be seen again.

In addition, Ashley Cole, who is considered by the British media to be the top three left backs in the world, did not play a few games due to a serious injury last season. His condition is as worrying as Rooney's.

This also makes the current players' body proportions more coordinated, but it is indeed more difficult to deal with than simply being tall and strong, because this is more suitable for the new trend under the new rules!

England's starting lineup -

Even if the Chinese fans at this time didn't know much about football, after watching more, they could definitely tell that the Macau players looked different from the first team four years ago, and they looked comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

Backcourt: Yang Feng (81, 1985, 181cm), Ma Zhenguo (84, 1985, 180cm), Niu Zhanshan (84, 1983, 192cm), Zhu Biao (83, 1986, 185cm)

This is also an improvement in modern football, which is to pursue speed, explosive power, and sufficient agility as much as possible while ensuring physical confrontation.

If it weren't for the fact that the dual virtues are really incompatible, this England team might be much better than the current dual virtues if they choose one of the two.

"This team is so young and terrifying!"

"..."

But here’s the thing: every time the English try to play both players in their best positions, the end result is not pretty.

Goalkeeper: Robinson (86, 1979, 193cm)

"Have you noticed that although our players are young, they are not inferior to their opponents in terms of height and dimensions!"

The most outrageous thing is that the English really played a 4-1-4-1 formation today.

Hargreaves is actually a single defensive midfielder who is holding back. His existence is to release the two Germans so that they can appear at their most suitable central midfielder position at the same time. His tactical intention is very obvious: he hopes to use the defense of the single defensive midfielder. The ability frees up Lampard and Gerrard, allowing them to focus all their energy on the organizational and offensive ends.

This is just like when CCTV was commentating on the 110-meter hurdles at this time. If the game time was not too fast, they would definitely be like what they did when commentating on Sun Yang's game later - after I finished reporting the entry list, I would just concentrate on cheering for my own players. , there can no longer be neutrality.

After Zhang Desheng greeted the England players one by one, he actually did not underestimate the opponent.

Midfielder: Joe Cole (88, 1981, 175cm), Lampard (87, 1978, 183cm), Hargreaves (87, 1981, 180cm), Gerrard (89, 1980, 183cm), Beckham (86, 1975, 183cm)

This can be regarded as a big change of formation, but it is not surprising, because every team likes to change their formation in the knockout rounds to catch their opponents off guard.

Of course, some of these changes have achieved ideal results, but some people have failed themselves.

In theory, England's lineup is actually very well configured. Not only is the offense and defense balanced, but the backcourt and midfield are also shining stars. Most of them are in their prime, and the worst ones are like Beckham and Neville. A veteran who can still tremble at the end, but overall the quality of the goalkeeper and center is not very good.

Frontcourt: Crouch (85, 1981, 201cm)

The most amazing thing for the British commentator is the age of the Macau players, because there are six young players in this team who were born in 85 and 86, and the oldest among them is only 23 years old.

At this time, the attitude of both sides seemed quite friendly, especially when Zhang Desheng shook hands with the opponent, every England player had a flattered expression on his face, which was a very interesting detail.

But the problem is that theory is theory. Both Germany and Germany are superstars who have broken through the 9th series in their respective clubs. However, once they reach the national team, Gerrard still has the perfect strength of 8th series, but Lampard's combat power has plummeted. Got to 87.

At this time, on the court, the players from both teams had taken photos and started greeting each other.

Frontcourt: Li Xiaobo (86, 1984, 188cm)

Strictly speaking, the Macau team is exactly the kind of bad team that England is best at dealing with!

In this regard, the Macau team itself also has a very clear understanding, so it will low-key praise the opponent before the game!

But after the game started, the impact shown by the English players was still too unfriendly to a team like Macau!

Less than a minute into the first half, Joe Cole, who was in good condition, launched a wave of offense from the left.

It can be said that Joe Cole finally played the best season of his career under Mourinho last season, even allowing Robben to often sit on the bench after recovering from injury.

Levi's defense was like air to him, but even if Zhu Biao came up in time to attack, he still stumbled through and completed the breakthrough.

Joe Cole is hailed by the English media as one of the best technical wide players, but in fact his foot skills are not yet top-notch, and can be said to be a whole level behind Ribery.

But his explosive power will be at its peak now. As long as the defensive pressure is not so airtight, Joe Cole's roughness will not be visible.

At this time, they saw that Shuangde had rushed to the penalty area to prepare for the response. Coupled with the small Crouch who could see the mountains at a high altitude, the entire penalty area of ​​the Macau team suddenly became trembling.

Soon, Joe Cole relied on his explosive power to confidently get rid of Zhu Biao, who was defending, and rushed to the left side of the penalty area and passed a low ball.

Today, Kong Xiaochuan is also very confident. He was trained continuously in the group stage, and at this time, his condition has begun to reach its peak. He actually scooped the ball out before Lampard who was outflanking him.

"This attack is confident and decisive!"

Zhang Desheng’s heart was beating fast as he watched from behind!
He himself is not very nervous when playing alone, but whenever he sees his opponent attacking his own penalty area, he can't help but his heartbeat accelerates violently. This may be the difference between watching football and playing football!

Niu Zhanshan got the ball blocked by Kong Xiaochuan and quickly kicked it out of bounds.

After England served, they once again attacked the Macau team.

This time the football was transferred to Gerrard's feet. Then he saw the captain of the Red Army striding for the ball and getting rid of the massacre platform. He raised his leg with a small movement and shot directly, hitting a grounder aimed at the blind corner. ball.

This "British style" that does not regard the Macau team as dry food is indeed full of violent aesthetics. Kong Xiaochuan's hard save failed to reach the football.

But the scene soon erupted with regretful sighs from England fans as the football rolled off the bottom line against the right upright.

Just over a minute into the first half, the Macau team was threatened with the goal twice in a row. To be honest, it felt a bit like being hit in the head!
At this time, we must thank Tunisia, because the African brothers have experienced this kind of aggressive start in the group stage, and the Macau team already has some antibodies.

Two minutes later, the Macau team also got the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

After Zhang Desheng finally got rid of Hargreaves' entanglement near the center circle and got the ball, Gerrard, who was nearest, immediately ran over.

This is England's defensive strategy against him - Hargreaves will be with him throughout the game. Once Zhang Desheng enters the defensive area of ​​anyone in Shuangde, the latter will immediately step forward to cooperate with the double team.

So strictly speaking, today's England must maintain a two-person defense against Zhang Desheng at all times when defending. As long as one of the two Germans is nearby to participate in the double team, the other person will automatically enter the attacking position. This can be regarded as making the two Germans as compatible as possible. There is a way.

When Zhang Desheng saw Gerrard rushing over, he naturally gave the ball to his teammates immediately.

Shen Yi took two steps after receiving the ball, and then made a long pass to the penalty area.

Li Xiaobo put his back on the line of the penalty area and knocked the ball back to Wang Zhen. The latter saw his teammates on the left side of the penalty area being very strict. For a while, he had no chance to pass the ball, so he simply fired a cold shot towards the far corner. .

Wang Zhen hit the high corner on the right side of the goal. Generally young players like to play this position.

But for top goalkeepers, playing in such a position is actually more defensive.

Robinson is not considered a top goalkeeper in the first tier, but he is not too bad to serve as England's national goalkeeper. He is at least an excellent goalkeeper.

Therefore, although Wang Zhen's shot has a good angle and good power, the range of his movements before shooting is a bit large.

To put it bluntly, this means that the shot swung forward too long, giving Robinson time to fly and save. In the end, he did complete a very high-quality goal save.

"The difference between ordinary players and low-level superstars is indeed not the slightest bit different!"

Mr. Zhang felt a pity secretly in his heart. He would probably have lost the ball if he had given it to him.

But comparing Wang Zhen's shot with Gerrard's shot just now, the gap is indeed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, if compared with the strikers of the first team, Wang Zhen's high-quality shot against the England team has definitely been crushed.

The Chinese fans at the scene also applauded and cheered for Wang Zhen, because in their opinion, this shot was already very powerful, just a little bit close!

But the problem is that because of this, Robinson's combat power is +1 directly after completing the amazing save.

This also allowed him to excel in the prediction that he is usually not good at. He actually picked the ball off Zhang Desheng's head at the subsequent corner kick.

And this pick made his combat power +1 again, because this was a head-on defeat of Young Master Zhang!
"That's not good!"

Zhang Desheng is naturally very depressed. He has already felt that the rhythm of this game is not on their side anymore?

His feeling was correct. The English attack today was very unrestrained, just two words: Go!
The ferocity of Shuang De + Joe Cole's charge was simply more brutal than they expected!

Now it seems that this England team can compete with Portugal at its peak in a penalty shootout. Even if there are some flaws in the lineup and tactics, the Macau team does not seem to be able to take advantage of it?
These things are the impact of pure speed + confrontation. Normally, you can't imagine the real power when watching videos and live broadcasts. At this time, you can only understand such simple and direct violence by standing in front of being rushed. Breakthrough, how difficult it will be!

In the fifth minute of the first half, this time the technique is not so delicate, but the stride is so hard that your head can keep up, but your body slows down a beat.

In the end, Lampard made a quick start in the middle. After getting rid of Shen Yi, who had an obvious speed disadvantage, he ran into Tu Guangtai who came to defend.

Tu Guangtai's performance in the World Cup cannot be said to be poor, but facing an opponent who can suppress him with his body, he seems very passive in both single defense and assist defense.

The same goes for covering up Lampard this time. Everyone rushed in. Even if he didn't lose his position, he would have to be beaten unless he committed a foul.

In the end, it was Ma Zhenguo who joined forces with him to force Lampard to pass the ball into the penalty area.

At this time, Beckham, who was already very cunning, just got rid of Yang Feng to get the pass, and then passed a diagonal pass from Beckham's arc, directly hitting Crouch's head in the penalty area.

Niu Zhanshan cursed in his heart. He was originally the Chinese defender who was best at guarding high forwards.

But the tall and slim Crouch was too flexible, and he couldn't keep up with the opponent's movement.

This time, he easily received the pass from the opponent and directly completed the header in the penalty area.

If Crouch hadn't pushed the ball towards the goal too softly and was easily confiscated by Kong Xiaochuan in front of the goal, he might have been a criminal.

"This kid doesn't have any resistance, put more pressure on him!"

Kong Xiaochuan actually encouraged Niu Zhanshan, and if domestic fans heard this, they would probably be very moved - when will it be their turn to complain about players from such top teams not being able to compete physically?
However, the Macau team just took a breath, and the English came back again two minutes later.

This time, Ashley Cole, who was in average condition, stepped into the attack from the backcourt. After Joe Cole took the initiative to give up his position, the Macau team's defense really couldn't spare too many manpower, and in the end, Heike Cole went all the way to the attack. Picked the ball in front of the goal in the penalty area.

At this time, under the interference of Ma Zhenguo and Tu Guangtai, and especially under the initiative of Kong Xiaochuan, Lampard used a Chinese-style anti-aircraft gun to allow the Macau team to almost roll back on the critical line of conceding the ball. .

This also made the Macau players who were constantly threatened with the goal a little depressed. They practiced secretly for several days. They really studied England thoroughly through all kinds of paper talks and even predicted the opponent's lineup and formation.

But the problem is that when it comes to actual combat, the opponent just uses a simple and unpretentious British style move to break their defenses - they can't guard against this first move! ?
"Made, just set up the iron barrel formation!"

At this time, Zhang Desheng saw that there was no movement from the head coach, so he could only give orders for everyone to retreat and defend.

England's attack was obviously more difficult to deal with than expected before the game. The Macau team was struggling to withstand the opponent's fierce attack. How could they have any energy left to attack?

If they really had to go up and attack, they would probably concede the ball in the opening game.

At this moment, the situation is stronger than their own, so they can only lower their heads and defend!

At this time, England actually had a big weapon that could break through the Macau team's intensive defense, which was Beckham's curved pass and the opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt.

The Macau team did take precautionary measures before the game, but again - there are many things that you will not be able to handle just because you are prepared.

It's like they studied and prepared before the game, but they were still attacked by Gan La as soon as they came up. So what else is there to say?

The Macau team has been stubborn since then. Except for Zhang Desheng's counterattack that will refresh the Chinese fans, they were actually beaten by the England team.

This is not only a physical and technical gap, but also a gradual suppression of momentum.

But there is no way to break it. Your body, skills, and competition experience are not as good as others. It would be strange not to be suppressed.

In the 12th minute of the first half, the Macau team completed its second shot of the game.

When Zhang Desheng participated in the defense in the backcourt, he intercepted England's pass with his reaction, turned around directly and launched a counterattack that made England break out in a cold sweat.

But unfortunately, after Zhang Desheng passed two levels in a row, the ball was still destroyed by Neville, who was running towards the useless man.

This is also the last resort of the Englishman on the defensive end - once he is unable to defend himself and is in danger of being singled out, he will just show off his spikes and kick him in the knee!

Naturally, Zhang Desheng would not bet his entire career just for a single goal. Upon seeing this, he hurriedly gave up the ball and dodged the knee shovel!
Today's South African referee did not target them and decisively gave a yellow card to Neville who raised his leg to flash his spikes!
To be honest, this is still a bit of a loss!
It is not harsh to give a red card for this kind of action of running towards a useless person!
But even if this happens to the US team, it may not turn from yellow to red!

And once it becomes the Macau team, it will definitely change from red to yellow!

In the end, Zhang Desheng considered the free kick 35 meters away from the goal and chose to pass the ball.

However, neither Niu Zhanshan nor Zhu Biao dared to join the attack, and England's air defense was extremely strong. Li Xiaobo directly pushed the ball out of the baseline due to interference.

After the England team avoided disaster with a tactical yellow card, they took a moment to slow down and attacked again.

They can also see that this fierce attack will certainly give the Macau team a chance to counterattack.

But if they really slowly start a positional battle with the Macau team, many of their advantages will not be able to be used.

The Macau team was defensive and naturally struggled on the offensive end.

Thiago did not start today, and Zhang Desheng only had Li Xiaobo in the frontcourt who could help.

That guy Levi is very good at bullying in Asia, but he is a waste against the top teams!

Wang Zhen actually took on more defensive tasks, and they didn't have that many troops for offense.

This also makes Zhang Desheng often have to face the siege of several people when counterattacking, as well as various insidious moves to greet his legs.

If it was the kind of counterattack that was about to go deep, the English would have tried their best to get him to keep the ball with another yellow card.

Zhang Desheng naturally felt aggrieved. On the one hand, he had no real helpers to share the pressure. On the other hand, he secretly hated the opponent's killing tactics, which although shameless, were really effective defense methods for him.

Therefore, at this time, the Macau team must insist on playing a turtle tactics and patiently wait for the opponent's opportunity to make mistakes.

If the opponent makes no mistakes and keeps playing so oppressively.

Then he has no choice but to try his best to hold on until 0:0 until the end of regular time, and then hold on until the penalty shootout.

If we can look for opportunities to change the opponent's two yellows and one red, then there may be changes.

But the English players obviously don't want to delay until the late stage, they even can't afford it! If they were really held to a 0:0 score by the Macau team in the first half, they might not dare to attack so fiercely in the second half, because once the opponent uses a counterattack to sneak attack, they may not have a chance to come back by then.

Therefore, it is a good idea for the Macau team to choose to defend, because the longer Zhang Desheng's counterattack power is delayed, the more terrifying it actually becomes!
In the 15th minute of the first half, Lampard's long shot from outside the penalty area once again missed the goal slightly, scaring the Chinese fans into a cold sweat!
But the cold sweat had not evaporated completely, and the England team broke into the Macau team's penalty area again after only two minutes.

This time Crouch's shot hit the anti-aircraft cannon, causing the frightened Chinese fans to boo in a ventive manner!
The Macau team then tried to counterattack, but was stopped before it could reach the opponent's hinterland.

"We will resolutely defend and won't go out to fight until we have a good chance!"

Zhang Desheng shouted loudly to his teammates, "You shouldn't have too many lucky thoughts at this time. You must not rush forward if you don't have a good opportunity!"

This back-and-forth tactic left the English with no good solution. They could only continue to attack fiercely in the hope of a miracle and break the Macau team's shell defense in one fell swoop.

In the 21st minute of the first half, this time Gerrard stepped in from the center to receive Beckham's precise ball. Then he was kicked down by Tu Guangtai when he wanted to take the ball in stride.

"I didn't kick him!"

Tu Guangtai was really wronged this time because he really missed Gerrard. This was definitely a diving incident!
But the protest was ineffective. Who makes this Red Army captain a brave and honest person in the eyes of the outside world? Your son is the one who likes to flop the most!

The referee didn't know if he was influenced by Gerrard's positive persona. He completely ignored the protests of the Macau players and directly gave a direct free kick 28 meters away from the goal.

Now the Chinese fans feel bad, because the 20-30 meters in front of the goal is a very threatening distance of the Bayern Arc, and the ball is almost directly facing the goal, which is very suitable for hitting the goal directly.

The Macau players also became nervous. The Bayes Arc is famous in the world. It is one of the magical skills that can be compared with Mr. Zhang's "Elevator Ball".

"Keep an eye on the person in the penalty area and watch out for him passing the ball!"

At this time, both Kong Xiaochuan and Ma Zhenguo were directing the positions of their teammates, and even Zhang Desheng was assigned a defensive task. He only needed to keep an eye on Lampard in the penalty area.

At this moment, Beckham, the only one who could compete with Mr. Zhang in terms of free kicks and appearance, naturally walked to the football with a serious look on his face, and immediately began to take a deep breath to adjust before the free throw.

"Mad, why do I feel like passing the ball?"

Zhang Desheng stared at Lampard while also paying attention to Beckham's movements.

If this ball requires him to take a penalty, then he will definitely choose to shoot directly.

But Beckham probably can't bear that much pressure. Maybe he will choose to pass the ball?

Zhang Desheng is a bit underestimating how hard Beckham will fight for the title!
If he can't score directly to help England win in this kind of game, then how can he be qualified to fight for the knighthood?
So after pretending to be cool for a long time, Beckham directly chose to shoot.

At this time, I have to say that the "Bell's Arc" is indeed unique. I saw Beckham twisting his body with all his strength and making himself completely tilted. In exchange, the internal spin speed of the ball was greatly increased!

This rapid internal spin makes the ball not only fly very fast, but also draw a very large arc in the air. But the most deadly thing is that you can often see the ball experiencing an obvious secondary acceleration in the second half of its flight.

So when fans watch replays, they always wonder why the goalkeeper often makes the correct judgment, but in the end he is always half a beat too slow to complete the save?
That's why, because football always flies faster than you think!

The most unfortunate thing is that Beckham's shot was of extremely high quality. Kong Xiaochuan had already judged the direction and landing point correctly, but the football was flying too fast.

Just halfway through his flying save, the high-speed rotating football had already hit the side net inside the goal!
"The ball is in!"

"In the 22nd minute of the first half, the heartthrob from England and England's number one free kick expert - Beckham!"

"He used his unique Bézier's Arc to easily send the ball into the net according to the textbook teaching method!"

"We still remember that in the 2002 World Cup qualifying match, Beckham saved England with his free kick in the last minute!"

"Now, in the quarter-finals of 2006, he once again used a free kick to help England take the lead!"

"Can the Macau team, the biggest dark horses of this World Cup, be able to let night fall again this time under the English flag?"

"..."

The on-site commentary was a bit weird. Didn't this obviously put the Macau team in the villain's position?

What's the matter, when the England team wins, the light shines brightly, and when the Macau team wins, darkness falls?
But for the current Macau team, the top priority now is not to worry about the on-site commentary, but to think quickly: What should we do now?
But to be honest, even Zhang Desheng felt it was difficult to handle at this moment.

If you continue to defend, will it seem like you are the one lagging behind?
But if they attack, their risk of conceding the ball again will increase!

"Mad, I didn't expect him to break the defense!"

At this time, Zhang Desheng couldn't help but look at Beckham, who was not very effective in the World Cup. If England didn't have this killer free kick, it would be really difficult to break through their iron barrel formation!
Double Germany + Crouch, even if you include Joe Cole and Rooney on the bench, under their intensive defense, these people have a high probability of being in a position to not score, and in the end they may score more than 20 or 30 shots. He couldn't even score a goal!
But now that Beckham has broken the defense with a free kick so early, it will be really difficult for them to play next!
Zhang Desheng didn't have any good ideas at this time. They could only continue to defend for a while. They had to get rid of the depression of just losing the ball. It was best to get back into shape before launching an attack.

After the game restarted, England's offensive was naturally not as fierce as before. This would lead the Macau team to attack and counterattack with the highest efficiency. They are not stupid at all!
The Macau team, with Mr. Zhang as the center, began to try to compete with England in the midfield.

The most eye-catching player at this time was naturally Zhang Desheng, who kept playing one-to-many, but was still able to firmly control the ball at his feet during the siege.

But his breakthroughs have become less frequent, and he is trying his best to cooperate with his teammates in passing and cutting.

This is to use himself as the best person in the world to forcefully connect the team, and also to forcefully drive his teammates to improve their status.

The Macau team also gradually followed the rhythm of its boss to improve its passing and receiving speed, and gradually began to play some fast passing cooperation, starting to threaten England's defense that was also lacking in details.

However, the better the Macau team plays on the offensive end, the more pressure they will have on the defensive end.

The England team's tactics have shifted to quick counterattacks, which is also the most reasonable choice after leading 1:0!

At this time, the Macau team was still unable to truly achieve a balance between offense and defense when facing the world's strongest teams. To put it bluntly, when defending, the offensive power will be greatly reduced, and when attacking, the defensive intensity will also be reduced.

This is mainly due to the fact that their athletic ability and tactical awareness cannot keep up with the current level of competition. Even though they have been practicing in Europe for several years, their opponents have grown up in the most competitive environment.

So once the opponent's intensity increases, these players will ultimately have a gap in talent and accumulation.

In the 30th minute of the first half, just after Mr. Zhang led his teammates to launch a fairly exciting attack, England's quick counterattack came over in the blink of an eye.

This time England's offense consisted of a counterattack arrow composed of double Germany + Crouch, and was supplemented by Beckham and Joe Cole who followed up.

The Macau team's overall defense was not too slow, but England's counterattack speed was faster than Spain in the group stage.

But when it comes to "fast", Zhang Desheng gave full play to his most violent speed in the game. He actually sprinted 50 meters and caught up with Gerrard, who was nearly 10 meters ahead of him at the start.

This speed even scares the English fans. To be able to recover such a huge disadvantage at such a short distance, this Chinese should practice 100 meters!
But after all, running fast on the football field does not solve the problem. After Gerrard was caught up, Lampard automatically became the attacking arrow. He received Joe Cole's pass at the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Macau's defensive players were almost in place. After Lampard failed to break into the penalty area, he turned to distribute the ball to the right.

Beckham, who was let go by the tactics at this time, received the pass in the empty area outside the penalty area on the right side. After his teammates all ran back in the penalty area and left the offside position, he calmly dunked over and rushed towards him to cover. Shen Yi, who was on guard, slanted his body and sent the ball into the penalty area.

This pass was also in Bei's style. The football was spinning inward at high speed in the air and flying extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it drew an inverted C-shaped arc and flew into the penalty area.

This time Kong Xiaochuan couldn't attack at all, because it was too difficult to predict the flight trajectory and landing point of this kind of pass.

Zhang Desheng can only stick to Gerrard's side. The only good news now is that there are still more Macau players in the penalty area.

However, when Crouch flew in from outside the penalty area and jumped high, Niu Zhanshan, who was also unable to predict the landing point, failed to have much impact on the pass that accurately hit Crouch's head.

This bamboo pole giant, who is more than two meters tall, finally used his height advantage to complete a header without much physical confrontation.

Kong Xiaochuan had no time to make a save in front of the goal. Despite Crouch's average header, his waist and abdominal strength was not good, so his header shots were always weak.

But this time it was Beckham who passed the ball for him. After the high-speed rotating football hit his head, it immediately triggered a secondary acceleration rebound effect.

So Kong Xiaochuan couldn't even make a save, and the football hit the goal behind him!
"The ball is in!"

"In the 31st minute of the first half, the giant of the England team rose into the air and completed a fatal blow to the biggest dark horse!"

"Crouch, this Yao Ming in football, he helped England extend the score to 2:0!"

"The Macau team suffered a heavy blow. Can they complete another amazing comeback this time like they did against Tunisia in the group stage?"

"..."

Anyway, after a burst of triumphant cheers, shouts, and screams, the England fans at the scene began to sing the national anthem to celebrate the great situation at hand!
As for the stands where Chinese fans gathered, of course they responded with their own national anthem a little lacking in confidence.

But in the unfavorable situation of 0:2, their momentum and soundstage were all suppressed by the English fans!

This atmosphere naturally caused the competitiveness of Macau players to begin to decline, because after all, England is not Tunisia, and no matter how bad they are, they are still the first-tier team.

If they were only one goal behind, they would still have the confidence to make a comeback and their morale would not be shaken.

But to pull two goals in a row in front of a team of this level and at the same time ensure that he does not concede a goal is indeed too difficult for even Zhang Desheng.

Even if the Macau team is not desperate yet, its morale has indeed suffered a heavy blow!
So after the game restarted, the England team shrunk their formation even more. This was to lure the Macau team to attack aggressively, and then succeeded with a counterattack again!

"They still want to score!"

Liao Qimin looked ugly on the sidelines. The British still played so utilitarian in this situation. They obviously wanted to continue scoring goals to expand their advantage!
At this time, even the Macau players on the field knew that the British were luring the enemy deeper, because it was not difficult for them to attack at this time, but it was even more difficult to penetrate the hinterland.

And once you aggressively penetrate into the opponent's half to launch an attack, the opponent's fast and sharp counterattack will naturally be in front of you at any time.

However, the Macau team had no choice!
At this time, they were 0:2 behind, so they could only make a desperate move. They knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, so they went to the tiger mountain.

The most threatening attack of the Macau team in the first half occurred in the 40th minute - this time it was originally a 3V4 counterattack launched by the England team in the frontcourt, but Ma Zhenguo saw through the small-scale short passing cooperation of Shuangde in the backcourt, and once A bold but precise anticipatory interception successfully intercepted Lampard's pass.

Shen Yi quickly launched a counterattack after taking the ball. After successfully completing a one-two with Levi, he suddenly sent a scalpel pass forward.

Zhang Desheng accelerated in sync with his movements, fully utilizing his speed advantage to shake off Hargreaves who had been sticking to him.

This time Gerrard and Lampard were still fighting back to defend. Neither of them could immediately flank Mr. Zhang with Hargreaves, so it was England's two high defenders who were put to the test.

But Terry and Ferdinand had nothing to do when facing Mr. Zhang who was charging at full speed, because at this speed it was too late to tackle him. They could only block his breakthrough route and run with him all the way to find opportunities for destruction.

At this time, I saw Zhang Desheng making several slight changes in direction while running at high speed. The center of gravity of the two English defenders was completely unable to coordinate with ease. It looked like one person was accompanying Mr. Zhang for a while and then was easily Falling behind, there is no chance for a foul.

However, Robinson stood in the small penalty area at this time and watched Zhang Desheng, who had already scored a single goal, not attacking at all, because the England coaching staff found out by watching all the available game videos after his debut that as long as he created a single goal, After the opportunity, the goalkeeper has a much greater chance of being scored as long as he attacks than if he sticks to the small penalty area.

So Robinson stood firmly in the small penalty area and blocked his shooting path. This made Zhang Desheng somewhat unexpected. He rushed into the penalty area and took two more steps forward before shooting a low shot.

Robinson's reaction was quick, and he immediately stretched his legs to block it.

But the football still hit his calf and bounced towards the goal. Unfortunately, the rebounded football hit the crossbar and bounced back. In the end, it failed to cross the goal line and was kicked towards the flag area by Terry who rushed back.

"Fuck, this didn't even make it in!"

Zhang Desheng rarely covered his face with his hands. If the ball had scored, the situation would have been completely different.

But he actually missed it at a critical moment. Wasn't this a mistake?
This single goal was not scored, which really made the Chinese fans stamp their feet anxiously, and the morale of the Macau players also dropped again!
In the last few minutes of the first half, they were once again pressed into half-court siege by England, who had boosted their morale after escaping from death. At this time, Lian Zhang De Sheng could only come back to help defend.

However, luck really seemed to be on the English side today.

In the 45th minute of the first half, Ma Zhenguo had just destroyed Lampard's obvious intention of a through ball, but the football he poked away fell to the feet of Gerrard, who was facing the goal.

Gerrard was competing with Tu Guangtai for the ball, but the direction in which the football flew was too favorable for him, and when he arrived, it happened to land on his calf in front of him.

So the captain of the Red Army went straight to the football and fired a volley from 30 meters away!
Such a heavy artillery strike that works wonders with one powerful kick will most of the time turn into an anti-aircraft cannon to relieve the opponent.

But once it is suppressed, it may become a world wave that no goalkeeper can do anything about!

Today I don’t know whether the Macau team is unlucky or the England team is lucky!

Not only did Gerrard's volley miss the target, it even dropped like an elevator ball. Kong Xiaochuan had no choice but to turn around and watch the football create a violent downward arc and hit the crossbar. Bounce into the goal.

"The ball went in again!"

"Gerrard, the great captain of the Red Army, he blasted a kick from 30 meters away that shocked the world!"

"This will be an epic volley that completely destroys the Macau team!"

"The score is 3:0!"

"The Chinese will not have the luck in the group stage this time!"

"The Englishman has completely completed the end!"

“I think they could have popped the champagne ahead of time!”

"In the second half, maybe we will see a real massacre!"

"..."

Although this live commentary of the first two goals was a bit strange, it was generally quite restrained!
However, when the score reached 3:0, this guy's true colors were revealed, and the Macau team became Chinese!
It was obvious that he really felt the game was over.

"Haha, Chinese, you can only get so far by luck!"

"Go home, but you have seen the world. It will be an honor for you to fall at the feet of the great England team!"

"That's right, being able to reach the top 16 through some bad luck is enough for you to be proud of for the rest of your life. You won't be able to appear on the next stage!"

"..."

The English fans at the scene were naturally elated and couldn't help but evolve towards the next stage of arrogance.

So they celebrated again and began to mock the Chinese fans who were looking at each other in the opposite stands.

"beep!"

The morale of the Macau team has indeed hit rock bottom. Fortunately, not long after the kick-off resumed, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half after the football was damaged and went out of bounds!

The score is 3:0!

This score really couldn’t be worse for the Macau team!
Let’s put it this way, after they debuted as a team in Macau, they have never lagged so far behind in the international A-level competition!

So looking at the bloody score that fell on them for the first time, all the Macau players, including Zhang Desheng, were speechless.

Everyone could only run away from the players' tunnel, not daring to look up at the stands of their own fans!

This also made them unaware that in fact, even the Chinese fans had no voice at all. They all looked like they were waiting to die in imminent disaster.

At this time, the Chinese fans who were still cheering for the Macau team loudly at the scene were really desperate!
This is actually the most fucked up part, but considering that these people who first became rich did not have that high original love for football, it is not difficult to understand why they lost the comeback out of desperation. hope.

And in a desperate situation, the Macau team has lost even the encouragement of the fans, and the morale of the entire team can no longer be lowered!
As soon as Zhang Desheng returned to the locker room and saw his dejected teammates, he knew that there would be an even bigger massacre waiting for them in the second half if they couldn't find a way to restore their morale!

He also knows that the England team will not be merciful, and they will try every means to cause a big tragedy!

So at this time, he became worried and simply asked the assistant coach to call in the two-person CCTV camera crew outside the door.

At this time, Zhang Desheng suddenly remembered a history that he had wiped out, that is, the "Night of Istanbul" in which this plane never appeared because of his appearance!
He did not have the confidence to replicate this history at that time, but as the strongest player in active service, he knew that he definitely had the power to create such a miracle.

In the first half, if Robinson's choice not to attack unexpectedly interfered with his judgment...if it weren't for his slightly worse luck...he would have scored at least one goal!
Therefore, at this time, he must push himself, and at the same time push his teammates, and find ways to boost the team's morale.

Then he might as well play it big. He called the camera directly, preparing to use the camera to force himself and the entire team, so as to enter a desperate situation: don't succeed or die!

The Macau players were stunned when they heard this, and then saw the CCTV camera crew being called in. Of course, their expressions changed drastically.

They don't want their most unlucky appearance to be seen by more than a billion people in the country. What they want to do most at this moment is to find a hole in the ground and crawl in.

But Zhang Desheng had no other choice. He knew that just talking in plain words would no longer have much effect. He had to use external force to give it a try!
At this time, Mr. Zhang was seen standing in the middle of the dressing room and began to lecture directly in front of the camera——

"I am very disappointed with the fans at the scene today. They seem to have felt that the situation is over and it is irreversible, so that I can't hear their voices at all!"

"But I'm even more disappointed with you because you don't dare to look up and look at the fans who are silent!"

"Then look here now, look at this shot. There are more than a billion Chinese fans behind it. I don't believe they have given up!"

"Now we are 0:3 behind, an almost desperate score!"

“But no matter how difficult our situation is, can it be more desperate than the period sung in the national anthem?”

"Our martyrs did not give up even in the desperate situation of national subjugation and genocide. At this time, there are still hundreds of millions of fans in the country who must not have given up. Can we give up first!?"

"If our defeat this time is destined to be irreversible, then at least we cannot become a laughing stock in the history of the World Cup."

"Even if we lose, we have to peel off the enemy's skin. No one can defeat us so easily!"

"If you still respect me and regard me as your captain, then believe the promise I am making to you now: in the first 15 minutes of the second half, we will definitely score! Yes, this is my promise to you, as long as we can If we score within the first 15 minutes of the second half, we will definitely win the game!”

"Now cheer up, dust your faces, and give it your all in the second half with me and give it a go!"

"..."
