Volume 4 Chapter 12 Command Tower

"Milner... actually kicked the ball into the stands, my God, what a good opportunity, it was wasted like this, England missed an excellent scoring opportunity," Lineker said depressingly. [full text reading]

"Many players in England seemed to be out of shape at the beginning. Is it because they were too nervous?" Wilson also said.

This is part of the reason, but it is more because this is the true level of most English players. Once they encounter fierce competition, their technical ability will plummet.

This is why they were able to win big in the qualifiers, but the score against Ukraine was not so disparate. As a team that advocates physical confrontation, they are more afraid of pressing.

Because the skills at the feet of many players cannot guarantee that they can still play high-quality balls under tight conditions.

The essence of pseudo-first-class will not change because of the arrival of Ma Keqin alone. Coupled with the problem of mentality, Ma Keqin will understand seven or eight points after thinking about it after playing like this.

Milner got up and lowered his head and raised his hands to apologize to his teammates. He also knew that his foot just now was of an amateur level.

"Don't worry, don't worry, just play as usual in the league and relax," Ma Keqin patted him on the shoulder and said as he passed by, earning a grateful look from Milner.

It's not entirely Milner's fault. He plays as a central midfielder, but he can only play in multiple positions. Capello has to let him play on the left. It is his first appearance in the World Cup, which is understandable.

However, this attack still allowed England to settle down a little bit, "just play like this, calm down", as an organizational midfielder, Mark Qin even started to take the responsibility of coaching. From a tactical point of view, he is a well-deserved commander on the field.

Only those American players who play in the Premier League have felt the threat of Mark Qin, including Fulham's head star Dempsey. You can completely imagine him beyond your imagination. This is his in-team tactic. The original words in class.

Several Premier League players in the team nodded their approval, especially those who had defended Mark Qin at the back line. They all thought that he was almost impossible to defend in the Premier League. To block England's midfield.

Howard drove the goal kick to the frontcourt with a big foot. Their player style determines that their style is more direct.

Like many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, they quickly hit the ball to the frontcourt, use the personal ability of one or two star players and the impact of the penalty area, and make up for the quality of the offense through quantity.

"I'm looking for Altidore again. This guy is the fulcrum of the American frontcourt. Dempsey has a wide range of activities. He grabbed the second spot," Duan Xuan said.

I saw Dempsey running from the left midfielder to the front midfielder. After grabbing the second spot in front of Carrick, he quickly passed it to Donovan on the right, and then ran over himself.

"Follow", Mark Qin, who ran back, said directly to Carrick, and he and Lampard quickly recovered to the defensive midfielder to protect the defender.

"Donovan has the ball. He is the number one star in the United States. He used to stay in Bayern. His characteristic is that he has good skills at his feet. Dempsey is also here. Is the US team going to attack the right side?" Duan Xuan asked. .

Cole and the retreating Milner quickly defended. Dempsey passed between them and ran directly to the right. Another striker, Finley, bypassed Terry and went forward.

"Donovan took the ball, Milner defended, he made a shake while Dempsey was penetrating, turned around, and slanted the penalty area directly, ouch..., good shot, Altidore rubbed the header , almost broke through Green's gate", Duan Xuan was also taken aback.

"We discussed it before the game," Sun Jihai said, "Ledlikin may have problems with this point of defense. After being selected for England, he has hardly cooperated with Terry."

This time Altidore went directly in front of Ledley King to grab the point with a header. As long as he heads straight, the goal will undoubtedly be scored.

Capello was blown up from the coach's bench again, and he was quite dissatisfied with the defense of Milner and Ledlikin. One gave the pass a gap, and the other lost his position.

The heart of the England fans almost jumped out of their throats. They found that the team did not seem to be as dominant as they showed in the qualifiers. Is the opponent in the qualifiers too weak or the team regressed?

Nobody knows the answer!

It seems that every time they come to a competition, they come full of hope, and then return disappointed and lonely. They fall on penalty kicks, fairy balls, and accidental balls. Anyway, no matter what, they will always fall.

Before the start of the game, everyone had a dream, and then they were poured cold water in the first half of the first game. They played against the US team like this. If this is Germany, Spain...

"England's defensive line has a problem," Neville said. He didn't save face for his teammate Carrick. "Carrick should protect the second point."

Wilson also nodded and said: "Starting with Carrick, Milner, Ledley King everyone is making mistakes"

Mark Qin missed a heartbeat when he turned around. Since his debut, Liverpool's defensive system has been established, and it has been maintained well in recent years.

So he didn't bother and didn't actually feel what it was like to have a frightening backline behind him, but he now knew that if they were scored first, they would be in trouble.

These people who were already very nervous played against the wind, and it was hard for Ma Keqin to expect them to fight back.

"Mark, he dropped deep and went straight to Green's short pass for the goal, which was a bit of a surprise for the US team."

Finley sprinted straight at Markkin, who passed to Carrick before he came up, then ran a few steps forward and caught Carrick's return ball again.

When Dempsey was attracted, he pushed directly to the side, and Glenn Johnson dribbled the ball directly across the half.

The head coach of the US team saw the failure of the interception in the frontcourt, and quickly waved his hands to let the players back. Their three lines were kept very tight, and the protection between each other was very good.

This is the hometown skill of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. The US team has learned a lot. When Gerrard received the ball, all the defensive players of the US team were already in position.

There was only one Rooney on the front line. Gerrard did not make an irresponsible cross. He kicked the ball back and passed another diagonal pass back to Mark Qin in the midfield. He had unparalleled trust in Mark Qin.

"Mark, get the ball again, the U.S. team immediately pressed forward and handed it to Carrick behind him, Mark stepped back to get the ball, and handed it to Johnson again", Lineker saw that he was not in a hurry to send it forward , but slowed down when it reached the thirty-five-meter area.

"Give me", after Johnson almost took the ball to death, a familiar voice came from the side, and Mark Qin led them to pass from right to left, and then from left to right.

If the US team presses forward, he will pass back, let the two full-backs follow him, and the frontcourt will naturally retreat.

"This is England's first consecutive possession of the ball in the opening game. Mark suppressed the rhythm. Good job, we can't fight randomly. That's England before," Lineker exclaimed excitedly.

Those who have watched England's performance in the qualifiers all have the impression of New England, the England full of frontcourt cooperation and foot control. They like to see England that can crush their opponents.

"God save the queen, England, GOGOGO", cheers came from the buzzing Zula in the stands.

"Don't worry, return more passes if you don't have a chance, don't take risks", "Wayne (Rooney), come back more often to get the ball"

Bobby Charlton in the stands loosened his frown, and Prince William also smiled, "This is Mark," Gary Neville shook his head and sighed, "It's very difficult for Premier League teams to win against Liverpool. control of the game”

I don't know whether he is sorry for Manchester United, happy for England, or feels helpless because such a person has been born in his arch-rival.

Obviously, he is helping these nervous players find their state. If they want to find their state on the court, they have to touch the ball more and pass more. When the body is warmed up, the mind will naturally relax.

Seeing Mark Qin pass the ball slowly and return to the middle circle, Capello let go of his anxiety. As long as Mark Qin finds his form, this team will not be too bad.

He can do it in Liverpool and he can do it in England.

This is his greatest confidence, commander tower!

"It's great," Duan Xuan said excitedly, "The best thing about Mark Qin is that no matter what position he is in, he has a kind of control over the overall situation. He is England's Pirlo."

"Beautiful, this midfielder played", Sun Jihai said, "Although England did not create any good chances, it was difficult for the US team to make it. Their defenders and goalkeepers have much less pressure."

What is the wind of the general? This is!

It's not how fast you run, how many people you pass, how many shots you shoot, whether you score goals, it's whether you are on the field and whether you make your team as a whole.

Be a clenched, fist!

Maybe this doesn't make the team the best, but at least it allows them to display their abilities normally.

Then, put yourself down, tense.

The U.S. team was having a hard time, and the old coach Bradley was also having a hard time. This is not the rhythm that the U.S. team likes, but it was during the opening period.

Now the American players find it difficult for them to grab the ball. Once Mark Qin is allowed to connect the whole through the ball, and most of the other players pass back, unless they have the pressing ability of Barcelona, ​​​​this is obviously not what they can do. arrived.

The pendulum swings!

Mark Qin ran to the left midfield and received a pass from Milner. He made a fake move with his right foot, and flicked his left foot to the side, shaking away Bradley Jr. and opening the gap for the pass.

He has somewhat experienced Zidane's artistic way of getting rid of the midfielder over the years. It is not extraordinary, but rhythm.

Yes, that wonderful thing again.

It's not that you want to pass someone and make the opponent make a mistake through false actions, but a natural reaction in order to let him continue the next journey during the running of the ball.

Simple but effective, never procrastinating, never take an extra step, 100% pass success rate, no midfielder after Zidane has been able to achieve it so far!

Just like now, Mark Qin didn't think about Bradley Jr., but Rooney's running just now gave him an opportunity to pass the ball to the penalty area.

Shake the defense, keep up with your body, swing your left foot, and directly make a diagonal arc, cross the American center back Demerit, and go straight to the combination zone between the two center backs!

Rooney dodged out just right, and the linesman ran along firmly without raising the flag. Capello stood up and ran to the sidelines, and the American fans in the stands were twitched.

"Strike, great pass! Rooney!" Lineker shouted excitedly, this is a single-handed ball that can be volleyed directly.

Another tall central defender, Onyewu, has been left behind. Rooney has only the goalkeeper in front of him, Howard!

This is England's best chance so far in the game, and it is also Rooney's best chance to break the scoring drought!

He swung his left foot sideways, facing the ball, and slammed it on the ball with a "bang", as if he wanted to get rid of the depression in his whole body.

Howard just raised his hand symbolically, the speed of the ball was too fast, and then he saw a white light, "whoosh", flew high into the stands.

"F**K, F**K, What the F**K!" Rooney frowned and jumped up, his whole body collapsed, as if this could show his great loss!

"Goa...uh...", Lineker was like a duck whose neck was suddenly stuck, speechless in disbelief...
