Green Life

"The media said that our warm-up match was not good, and they suspected that we had a problem," Capello said calmly in the locker room, "but I don't think so, although some of our guys failed to come to South Africa, but You are also the best"

England's generals are silently sorting out their equipment, checking every detail. Their starting lineup today is divided equally between those with World Cup experience and those without experience. [full text reading]

England has actually started to renew helplessly. This will also be the last World Cup for many veterans in the team. It's just the media's expectations and the stars are at their final peak, so many people have not noticed.

"Their Donovan and Dempsey have good skills at their feet, and they have a very wide range of movement in the middle. Our wingers must strengthen their defense against them."

Capello pointed to the already drawn route on the tactical board and continued: "Mark, Carrick, you must control the midfielder well, and once you lose the ball, fight back on the spot."

Compared with the striker, Capello is more worried that once Mark Qin is moved out of the midfield, England's offense will fall into chaos again.

Without Mark Qin, they really couldn't organize any decent offense except for fighting high and fighting physically.

"In the past few days we have repeatedly watched the tapes of the qualifiers, remember how we felt when we won before, don't panic"

"I don't need to say much about the importance of this game for our group qualifying, show your best form"

Capello waved his hand, everyone in England clapped their hands and shouted GOGO and rushed out of the locker room. The referee was from Brazil and had already led the referee team to wait in the passageway.

The time was already pointing to 8:30 in the evening, and the noise of buzzing Zula was much louder than when it was warming up just now.

"Fans and friends in England, the game is about to start, and two pairs of players have already started to enter the stadium," Lineker said excitedly watching the live broadcast signal.

This is a multi-purpose stadium, but the surrounding runway is covered with some turf, which makes the overall look more beautiful.

Due to the higher altitude of Rustenburg, South Africa, the night sky is brighter and free of pollution. The bright stars dotted this noisy stadium, which is about to usher in the opening match of Group C.

Mark Qin walked into the stadium in the middle of the line. They were dressed in white, while the US team was dressed in black.

England fans who had been waiting for nearly a month finally got their home team's first game,

They shouted and cheered loudly, but unfortunately they were all drowned in the noisy buzzing Zula.

Capello came out with the team at the end and walked to the coach's bench. After a while, the national anthems of the two countries began to be played on the field.

With the sound of "Boom", Hum Zula even reached a point. Gerald and Captain America Cherendolo had already started picking coins, and the game was about to start.

At this time, the starting lineups of the two teams were shown in the live broadcast signal, and the players of the two teams also began to walk towards their own half. England started from left to right. The starting lineup of the United States is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Howard

Defenders: Bocanegra, Onyeu, Demerit, Cerendolo

Midfielders: Donovan, Clarke, Bradley Jr., Dempsey

Forwards: Finley, Altidore

Duan Xuan looked at the starting list and said: "Although most of the American players are not well-known, their football has developed very fast in recent years. The 11 starting players basically play in the Premier League and the Bundesliga. They are the main players of the middle and lower teams. , the strength really cannot be underestimated.”

"That's right," Sun Jihai said, "I have met many of them in the Premier League. These people know the style of English football very well, and they are also very adaptable."

At this time, the two forwards from the United States had already stepped on the ball in the middle circle, and the referee from Brazil had already put his whistle in his mouth and was looking at his watch.

Ma Keqin stood outside the arc top of the middle circle and jumped up and down a few times, then twisted his waist again, full of anticipation.

At this time, he was as eager for the game as when he was replaced by Benitez in the league for the first time.

Although the stadium can't be called luxurious, and the opponent can't say how much inner challenge it can bring to him, but this is, the World Cup! , this is enough, this is a place where every legend cannot be absent.

Pele, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Bobby Charlton, Zidane, Ronaldo, there are too many names here.

There are too many mountain peaks waiting for him to step on and conquer one by one, here is the most beautiful scenery in the world, none of them!

"Beep...", with the referee's whistle, the game started, and the wind blows to South Africa.

Mark Qin quickly chased the ball and pressed it to the frontcourt. He hadn't played in midfield for almost half a season, but this was not a problem for him, but it was as natural as eating and drinking.

"Friends from the audience, the first game of Group C has begun. The American team wearing black jerseys starts from right to left," Duan Xuan explained. The whole court began to press at the beginning"

The ball came to the feet of defender Demerit, who was the captain of Watford in the Premier League. Facing Rooney's pressing, he didn't panic, and directly passed it diagonally to the retreating right midfielder Donovan.

Milner's running ability is very strong, but his defense is indeed a two-handed knife from a technical point of view, but it is very difficult to play. It depends more on hard work.

Donovan's foot skills are very good, and Milner, who is too aggressive, jumped into the air with a sway of his back, and then turned around and kicked more than 30 meters to the ground, directly looking for the forward Altidore who was backed up in the frontcourt.

Does it sound familiar? This is exactly how the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League play.

This foot sticking to the ground directly crossed the line between Mark Qin and Lampard, and Carrick didn't block it. It really let Altidore hold Terry on his back and catch it.

The 21-year-old young player plays for Hull City in the Premier League. He is tall and strong, otherwise he would not be able to do this job.

Terry quickly squeezed his body forward to increase physical confrontation, making it difficult for Altidore to handle the ball easily. Otherwise, the England back line is so high now that it is easy to be hit behind.

"Altidore, I want to give it to Finley. Dempsey is going in quickly. The ball is a little crooked. The midfield fight between the two sides was very fierce at the beginning," Duan Xuan said.

After the ball left Altidore's feet, no one on both sides could control the ball. They shoveled back and forth near the center circle several times, but was knocked out of the sideline by the US team.

Mark Qin ran to catch the throw-in, and was immediately marked by Clark. He pointed at the retreating Ledley King, and let Glenn Johnson send the ball back to the back line.

At this time, from the camera, a forward and two full-backs of the US team quickly retracted, and the two midfielders were on top, directly forming a pentagon to tightly wrap England's midfielder.

The purpose is obvious, to force England to play straight and long passes like them, and to abolish Mark Qin's organization.

The ball fell in a circle between the two central defenders and the goalkeeper and came to the feet of Ashley Cole. Just as Cole was about to push it to Mark Qin who responded, Altidore came over and blocked it on the passing route.

This is, the World Cup.

It's not the same level as the qualifiers, and the game started to be tit-for-tat from the first minute.

"The U.S. team fought fiercely. Cole looked for Rooney in front of him with a big foot. Demerit followed him closely, fighting for the top with a header, and started to fight again in the U.S. team's half."

Hum Zula was shouting one after another in the stands, and Yingmei was fighting one after another on the field.

Capello frowned while leaning on the awning of the coach's bench. The US team wanted to pull the England team into the same rhythm as them.

The U.S. style of play is a bit like Ukraine in the qualifiers. The fight is very tough. It directly fights with you to disrupt the fight and then seizes the opportunity in the frontcourt, abolishing its own midfielder and destroying your midfielder.

Mourinho's philosophy has become more popular as he reached the top again. The world has always believed in winners.

"Don't pass too much forward, keep it steady." This time it was the US team's backcourt throw-in. Mark Qin hurriedly communicated with his teammates in the backcourt. Except for Terry, he felt their tension.

Johnson, Ledley King and even Cole kicked their feet as soon as they were pressed, and Carrick had no support at Manchester United. This psychological quality deserves to be called the European ×× team.

When it comes to the competition, the feet are soft! I don't know if it has something to do with Capello's tense atmosphere, Mark Qin has no time to think about it now.

"Give it to Mark, give it to Mark", Capello finally couldn't sit still. After a direct pass from the United States was directly confiscated by Green, he ran to the sidelines and shouted, otherwise Green would probably have another big foot.

"Michael (Carrick), go catch up," Mark Qin pointed out. It used to be Barry's job to catch the ball and find opportunities for him or split the side. He was 27. Why did he play like a fool.

He was not the only one who had nothing to follow. The ball finally passed to Mark's feet through Green Johnson in the backcourt.

While Dempsey didn't catch up with the left foot dunk, he passed it to Lampard in the opposite direction, and then went straight behind Clark. Lampard was still steady, and sent it over with a straight push.

"Mark, two to one, good ball, Bradley Jr. and Donovan came up, really tight, good ball, two to one in a row", when Cole pushed straight and sent it to Mark Qin's feet , Lineker shouted excitedly, as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.

The entire audience also became excited, and more than half of the neutral fans came to watch his performance.

Mark Qin, who broke through the back waistline, directly made American defenders like a forest of enemies. Before the game, their coach arranged for Rooney to mark only one defender, but for Mark Qin, he arranged for five players in the midfield to double-team at any time. To cut off his line of receiving the ball!

The right back Bocanegra immediately came to block. The narrow width of the 442 formation in the United States is very narrow, and the defense is one after another. It is obviously to put your side to block your midfielder.

Before Bocanegra stepped on the ball with his right foot and pulled it back, he turned around and leaned his back against his chest firmly, followed by his left foot quickly followed by another step and then a heel knock.

The whole action was done in one go, the ball went directly behind Bocanegra, and finally penetrated the US team's defense.

"Wonderful goal, good opportunity", Lineker immediately became excited. He felt more and more that what Mark Qin brought to England was definitely not as simple as just a midfielder.

Milner quickly stepped in, and the US team's defense instantly gave up their defenders and could only block the area first.

"Pass later!" Mark Qin yelled as he turned around. The US team's formation was tightened.

Capello clenched his fists subconsciously, "Good shot, Milner caught up, there is no defender around him, England's chance", Sun Jihai said expectantly.

Milner was really solid. He heard Mark Qin yelling, and then passed it far without thinking.

But Ma Keqin would rather not shout, watching the ball flying out of bounds directly over the goal crossbar, feeling very tired.

Capello directly raised his arm angrily, turned around and sat back on the coach's bench, babbling endlessly!

It is estimated that there are not players sitting around, words like F**K must emerge in endlessly.

After passing the ball, Milner also fell out of the baseline. It is conceivable how hard his foot is, and he is still nervous!

Hey, don't want to be tired...
