Football: The strongest post-zero generation

"Oh-My-God!"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif exclaimed: "Who would have thought? Three minutes ago, Lee used his superb long pass skills to help England open the scoring, and three minutes later he personally completed a wonderful long-range shot to score! 2:0 basically guarantees that England will become the fourth team to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup!”

Li Qing, who scored the goal, didn't show too much excitement. He still had the same calm expression and shrugged his shoulders. It was easy for people to want to beat him up.

Of course, this idea is only based on hostile players and fans.

The teammates were overjoyed and hugged Li Qing excitedly one by one, venting the emotional outburst caused by expanding the score.

"aoaooaooaoaoooooo——"

The English fans, Chinese fans and neutral fans at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium unleashed their passion almost crazily, and waves of huge cheers quickly swept through the entire stadium.

England coach Southgate was excited and heaved a sigh of relief. A two-goal lead was much more secure than a one-goal lead. Moreover, Li Qing's long-range shot was very morale-boosting and would definitely promote the next game.

In sharp contrast, Danish coach Hared originally wanted to maintain the 0:1 deficit until the end of the first half, but God's calculations failed and he lost another goal before the 30th minute of the game. Ball, he has even thought that the result of this game will end with England giving birth...

However, as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he forced it out of his mind. The biggest feature of football matches is that there are still opportunities before the whole game is over. There are about fifteen minutes left in the first half, and there is still a lot of time left in the second half. Sixty minutes.

Two goals is enough.

But the latest problem facing Hared is how the team scores goals...

England's defensive appearance rate is not high, but it does not mean that the defensive ability is not good. On the contrary, as the main players of the major Premier League giants, they have outstanding abilities and can help each other in defense. With the current midfield and frontcourt configuration, it is obviously difficult to break Pickford's goal. .

what can we do about it?

At the same time, the on-site director switched the camera to Danish players one after another, starting with Schmeichel, then Eriksen, then to Christensen, Delaney, especially Delaney who was absolutely responsible for conceding the goal. , if he had observed in advance before realizing Ali's "passing error", then Li Qing's long shot would not have happened.

However, there are no ifs in this world. The loss has already occurred, and there is no use in being upset.

Captain Eriksson recovered from his sadness in time and applauded his teammates: "Hey guys, there is still a lot of game time left for us, don't be discouraged! We can even equalize the score or even go ahead!"

Can you not know the situation of your own team?

But then again, captain Eriksen still has to give face, and the Danish players responded feebly.

The Danish fans in the audience had seen a lot of news reports before the game. Even the local media was not optimistic about their team's prospects of qualifying. South Korea's upset victory over Germany could have some motivating effect before the game, but they supported The national team fell behind by two goals before the first half was over, meaning there was no chance of an upset at all.

"Beep~"

With the referee's piñata whistle, the 1/8 finals between England and Denmark were restarted.

Denmark fell behind by two goals, and they had no patience to defend anymore. They started the game according to Plan B prepared before the game. Head coach Halled sighed and did not ask the players to return to Plan A.

According to the current situation, there is definitely no way to equalize the score by continuing to defend, the only way is to attack.

England, who were leading by two goals, seemed to have changed their jerseys from Denmark before, with Denmark leading the attack. England defended passively, leaving only Li Qingding at the front as a counterattack point.

Coaches all over the world know what to do about this.

When switching from offense to defense, a foul must be committed as soon as possible, and the forward pass must not be completed to the English players.

Until the end of the first half, Denmark not only failed to narrow the score, but also received three yellow cards to prevent Li Qing from taking the ball and counterattacking quickly. In addition to the two yellow cards received previously, it means that the whole team was 40% in the first half. Five yellow cards in five minutes.

If the offense continues to be strengthened in the second half, this situation will develop in an even more unfavorable direction.

Danish head coach Hared obviously knew this. He frowned as he walked towards the players' tunnel, not knowing what to do in the second half.

Southgate's mood was completely opposite to Halled's. He was in such a good mood that he was about to explode, and he wanted to vent to his wife at home.

The players entered the locker room one after another, and the substitute players came to the stadium to warm up. Some fans in the audience posted social media, some took selfies, and some left their seats to find food. The TV stations with the rights to broadcast the World Cup took the time to watch the first half of the game. Conduct review on site.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another. Denmark, which was two goals behind, took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Lasse Schone replaced Christensen, who had a poor performance in the first half, and strengthened by the way. The efficiency of the offensive and defensive transition in the middle liberates the core midfielder Eriksen.

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the piñata, the second half of the fourth round of 1/8 finals of the 2018 Russia World Cup officially began.

Denmark, which had a kick-off advantage, took the lead in taking advantage of the ball possession opportunity to attack England's defensive half. Cornelius, a 1.93-meter-tall high center forward, overpowered Maguire and tipped the ball to Braithwaite.

After a few passes, the football came to Eriksen's feet. The offense organized by him was very interesting, but it was difficult to convert opportunities into goals due to the limited ability of his teammates.

Danish head coach Hared sighed. He does not expect the team to be efficient in attack, but only expects that the transition from offense to defense can suppress England's quick counterattack scoring.

England took a two-goal lead with confidence and defended their counterattack.

The Danish offensive players who have stepped up their offense have limited strength, but they are relatively strong in integrity and play in a very organized manner, which looks pleasing to the eye.

Time often passes very quickly in high-level matches. In the blink of an eye, it was fifteen minutes into the second half. England also made adjustments. The goal scorer Alli was replaced by club teammate Dier to strengthen defense.

In the 63rd minute, Sterling received the ball from Harry Kane and was about to cut inside. As a result, Delaney's leg extension was half a beat too slow, the whistle sounded, and the cheers from the audience suddenly rang through the entire stadium: "aooaoaooaoaooooooo——"

It turned out that the broadcast screen happened to show Li Qing, and the location where Sterling won the free kick was quite good, on the left side of the top of the penalty area. Although this position is more suitable for a right-footed player to take the penalty,... Li Qing's footwork is good enough. Able to take a very good quality direct free kick.

"This position is very good. Will Li Qing score his tenth goal of this World Cup?"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice became obviously excited.

"wuwuwuwuuuuuu——"

The English fans in the audience held their breath, while the Danish fans burst into hysterical boos, hoping to complete the mental interference with Li Qing.

Obviously, it has no effect at all on players of Li Qing's level.

The direct free kick he kicked with his left foot shot up from the ground, bypassed the wall, and drew a wonderful arc in the air, like a rainbow across the sky, grazing the inner edge of the left goal post and hitting the snow-white net.

The entire running process of football is full of fun to watch.

"Goooooooooooooal——"

A second later, the signature drawl of Sky commentator Andy Gray echoed throughout the studio.
