Chapter 228 Free Kick Lore
Beckham couldn't figure out Hoddle's brain circuit, even if the result was beneficial to him, he didn't feel very open.

Especially in the interview between the two, the lukewarm and mocking tone of the new England coach seemed to remind him: "You are just a boy who has just made a name for himself."

Hoddle's words and deeds made Beckham feel that starting the game is like a gift. If you can give it to you today, you can take it back tomorrow.

Compared with the team under the old bastard's command, England, which has changed its manager, is full of uncertainties.

And for a group, it feels weird.

But there are some things that you should not think too much about. A professional player is like an artist sculpting his work every time he plays. As long as he plays, he has to work hard for his job.

The game against Moldova came to the playing of the national anthem, starting with England's "God Save the Queen".

Facing the worst team in Europe, England players are not nervous.

To be honest, it should not be nervous at all, everyone is quite relaxed.

It is just a little uncomfortable that the Chisinau stadium uses artificial turf.

Beckham has basically bid farewell to artificial turf since he was 13 years old. Running on this kind of ground is not silky at all, and the word "friction" always flashes in people's minds.

Then it was the turn of Moldova's national anthem "Our Language", the country's motto is "Our language is the greatest wealth".

Hmm. Does this mean that their language is almost lost, like "forever alliance", all good wishes born of the current predicament, or poisonous milk.

With the help of a minute of mind-wandering, Beckham let his thoughts spread out uncontrollably.

When the Moldovan national anthem ended, his thoughts also came back.

He saw that there were no seats in the stands not far away, but simple and rough stone steps. Some people squatted and some stood. If he wanted to sit and watch the game in this environment, he had to put at least a newspaper on it.

As soon as the national anthem ended, the stadium immediately burst into cheers from the home fans.

The players in England seemed very calm, while the players in Moldova cheered each other on, shouted commands, and circled in circles until the English players were embarrassed.

At the beginning of the game, Moldova's formation was 5-4-1, but all were placed in the backcourt, and only the forward player continued to try to interfere along the midfield line.

Gascoigne kept pressing his hands with a smirk on his face, signaling everyone not to worry.

The rhythm of the England team is very uniform, everyone is playing short passes.

This is the legacy left to the team by the old bastard Venables. Although it is very cool for the team to rely on the strong to bully the weak, it is not a small waste.

The best way is to let yourself run less, let your opponent run more, and let your opponent do useless back and forth.

It can be seen that the Moldovan team has not completed full professionalization. One of their midfielders has a short neck and a little hunchback. This should be the appearance characteristic of sitting in the office every day.

Despite this, the England team still got a shot very quickly.

In the 7th minute, the England team passed the football three times and two times from the left to the right.

The moment Beckham received the ball, he passed the left player who defended him, and then passed the No.2 defender.

Seeing that two or three Moldovan players surrounded him, Beckham immediately picked a pass to the penalty area. Shearer carried the defender to stop the ball, carried the defender away, and then accelerated to get rid of it.

But the football jumped up when it touched the lawn, and Shearer wanted to adjust. The Moldovan players surrounded him, rushed and beat the football away.

After 20 minutes of stalemate like this, the England team scored a goal. Beckham received the ball on the right and made a slight adjustment, then kicked a pass.

The Moldovan goalkeeper misjudged and Sheringham basically missed the goal.

shoot!

Score!

1 is better than 0!

From this moment on, the game is effectively over.

Before the end of the first half, the England team scored another header.

2 is better than 0!

When the game reached about 60 minutes, many Moldovan players couldn't run anymore.

Since you can't run, the end is coming.

In the last half hour, the England team scored 3 more goals, and Beckham assisted Shearer and Sheringham.

5 is better than 0!

The game was simply too easy, but the fly in the ointment was that the artificial turf was a little watery. Sheringham seemed to be on the artificial turf. He wanted to slide and kneel when he scored a goal, but he stopped abruptly because of too much friction after sliding less than two meters.

By the time he stood up, his knees were broken
The England team, which won the away game, flew back to London that night and played Poland four days later.

Compared with Moldova, the strength of the Polish team has been improved by at least one level.

If they only want to get 1 point and are satisfied, this game will not be easy to play.

However, the situation of the Polish team is basically non-existent. The fast-paced and high-confrontation operation mode of football has largely eliminated daily casual players.

Fierce confrontation can easily make people overwhelmed. When people's emotions are in place, there is basically no rationality.

England won Moldova in an away game without causing any waves in the media, nor did it arouse much interest from the fans.

Opponents of this level really don't deserve to be discussed. Compared with Moldova, Poland puts significantly more pressure on England.

Without discussing anything else, just because they are a national sports country, this is incomparable, which will make them all track and field athletes.

Facts have proved that football is not only about who plays well, but also who runs well.

England opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. As a result, Poland almost ran away with a rhinoceros style of play. They got consecutive chances in the last 5 minutes of the first half, and finally used England's most skilled corner kick to equalize the score.

During the intermission, Hoddle couldn't wait to reprimand the players for their lack of energy, but the players collectively ignored them.

The 38-year-old Hoddle subconsciously waved his hand. He was still too young to restrain the bosses in the dressing room. Even Gary Neville turned to him.

Beckham didn't turn his face at all. This is the price of arrogance.

Now the whole team knows what he said to Beckham during the interview.

It's not that Beckham deliberately betrayed him, it's just that he has no choice but to be entangled by the big brothers.

The bigwigs in England didn't deliberately stand up for Beckham, they just didn't like this guy's face.

Hoddle is really young, and Beckham thinks that if he shaves clean and puts on a team uniform, he will look younger than Seaman.

Seeing that Hoddle didn't speak, Adams started throwing the football at the wall and yelling, which is his habit for many years.

He swung his arm hard the last time he smashed the ball, and the ball bounced off the wall and headed towards the locker.

Seeing that Gascoigne was about to flee, Hoddle suddenly stretched out his legs and bumped the football up, and then got closer and closer. At this time, he suddenly stopped the football with his right thigh.

He approached with two trick jumps and kicked the ball to Adams with the outside of his foot.

A whistle sounded in the locker room.

I didn't see it, this old boy still has two tricks.

Naturally, Hoddle would not let go of this opportunity to pretend: "Gentlemen, an excellent team makes time pass more and more slowly, and time must have a clear sense of pause."

He obviously bluffed the England team, which has a rough per capita skill, twice just now. When he talked about tactics, the players' attention was obviously concentrated.

But Beckham still doesn't buy his account. He came to the England team a little bit to inherit the legacy of his predecessor, and he feels that he is completely copying these days.

At the start of the second half of the game, the England team still didn't take much advantage. The Polish players were still in the inertia of the rhinoceros collision, and the English players were not used to them. The two teams worked together to play a World Cup qualifier as a promotion play-off.

Beckham is also very helpless, obviously Gascoigne and Ince have been making big moves to make troubles, and it is obvious that McManaman is more coquettish on the left, but whenever he takes the ball, the Polish player will always arrive as expected, and then try to make him fall down.

Beckham was pushed down at least 5 times in the second half. Seeing his teammates' rhythm getting worse, he remembered what Hoddle said just now.

If you can reach the level of a master at the technical level, will you be able to calm down a lot.

England, which has been playing long passes for nearly 30 years, is trying hard to play technical football, but the rhythm of passing and receiving the ball is really jerky and not smooth at all.

Everyone seems to be playing technical football, but in fact they operate in a hurry, without the feeling of ease given by South American players.

But it is useless to think about these now. If you want to go directly to France and rank ahead of Italy, you must kill the rest of your opponents.

Seeing that there are 15 minutes left before the end of the game, the England team doesn't think about the way of playing, just do it.

Concise passing, the British tactics of splitting and crossing are reproduced in the arena.

Hoddle walked to the sidelines and kept loudly reminding the players that it was useless.

Standing in the backcourt, Adams kept adding buffs to his teammates like a shaman, driving his teammates to keep pressing forward.

The Polish team took the opportunity to fight back, but the combination of him and Southgate intercepted all the attacks. Coupled with Ince, who has a strong confrontation ability, England's offensive players have no worries at all.

In the 78th minute, Beckham got the ball, and he made a 45-degree cross immediately without stopping the ball.

corner kick!

Adams, Southgate, Shearer, and Sheringham all headed the ball into the penalty area of ​​the Polish team.

Beckham took a corner kick, and the Polish goalkeeper was about to attack, but someone yelled at him and retracted.

Adam grabbed the first point, his header hit the keeper's chest, and the Swiss goalkeeper poked the ball out of the danger zone with his foot.

There was no response from the Polish team, and Ince rushed to the football. As a result, when he raised his foot, the Polish defender decisively shoveled.

Ince took advantage of the situation and pushed the football aside, but was still brought down.

The referee awards a direct free kick.

The position of the free kick was in front of the goal, which made several England eager to try.

Several players who wanted to take a free kick discussed it, and Beckham, Gascoigne and Pierce were left before the free kick.

All three wanted to kick, but none of them could sleep on the other two.

Gascoigne said with a smirk, "Let God decide all this!"

What do you mean?
To put it more bluntly, three people stand in front of the ball together, whoever feels better will kick.

To put it bluntly, whoever grabs it counts.

Beckham is very helpless, as long as he is not at Manchester United, no one will treat him as a baby bump.

The referee blows the whistle and Gascoigne winks at Beckham.

But he didn't understand.

While Gascoigne had already started, Pierce was a little late and had to give up.

The bad boy ran to the football and swayed his legs to shoot. The Polish players had no time to save, and all jumped high.

Beckham seemed to sense something and immediately started running.

Sure enough, Gascoigne kicked the air, and then walked towards the wall, ready to delay the defender.

The Polish player jumped vertically with all his strength, and just landed when Beckham kicked out.

It was too late for them to take off, and the football went around the top of the wall and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

The Polish goalkeeper was very energetic just now, but was shaken by Gascoigne.

Taking advantage of the moment he walked out, Beckham's free kick suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

The Polish goalkeeper made a hasty save, but it was useless, and the football went straight to the top right corner of the goal.

2 is better than 1!

Beckham raised his arms again when he went over the score in the 80th minute of the game.

Gascoigne was the first to run to Beckham, he jumped on the latter's back, and then showed a surprised expression.

He thought that this boy would be able to overwhelm him, but he didn't expect that the boy could bear his weight completely.

"David, you have really strong legs! Haha!"

Beckham was greeted with applause from the Wembley fans as he walked towards the touchline with arms outstretched.

In his sunny smile, the grievances of London fans over the years seemed to dissipate a lot at once.

They don't like Beckham because a kid from London shouldn't go to Manchester.

Don't you have a good team in London to choose from?

Can't the London team satisfy your treatment?

Why are you going outside to play football?
Well, but this free kick is really beautiful!

This is the voice of most London fans, this is the first time Beckham has brought them happiness!

It was another damn cloudy day, but Beckham's goal and his smile were like a warm current in everyone's hearts.

Not far away, Gary Neville shook his head, showing an expression of "I knew it was like this" and said to himself: "Some people are more likely to be loved than others."

With Beckham's last-minute goal, the England team finally defeated the visiting Poland team 2-1.

The victorious Hoddle was not recognized by the media at the press conference, where reporters baffled him with a barrage of embarrassing questions.

The media didn't buy him either.

"Terry's Successor Isn't So Good".

"England narrowly beat Poland".

"Glenn Fails First Answer Paper".

In the hearts of the English people, the England team should be an indestructible steel battleship.

It is so difficult to win Poland, there is no point at all.

Contrary to Hoddle's evaluation, Beckham has been highly rated, and many people only see his shining moments.

But through technical statistics, the whole of England once again realized that this kid is not only talented, but also very hardworking, which is a bit scary.

"David's running distance in this game is 13205 meters. He used his running to cover the right side of the England team."

"David's pass success rate is 90%, ranking first among all English players, and he is the most stable player in the team."

So far this season, Beckham has 7 goals and 5 assists, of which the data in the Premier League is 6 goals and 4 assists.

Considering that the old man has been placed in the middle to carry the work, this data is still quite good.

Prediction At the same time, Ferguson and Wenger started a 17-year grievance.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, this kind of war was fired first by Wenger.
