Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 531 There is only one Beckham! !

Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany.

Ten minutes into the opening game of the World Cup, the scoreboard on the field still showed a score of 0:0, with neither team scoring a goal.

The England team had an advantage in the opening stage. Under the guidance of McLaren's tactical thinking, they devoted 80.00% of their energy to the offense. This situation even made the England fans in the audience feel unreal.

Is this the England team?
Is it really the England team that is dominated by physical confrontation?
The current England team that is attacking on the pitch is not at all recognizable as the previous team that focused on physical confrontation and was good at playing defensive counterattacks. The players on the field, especially the midfielders, cooperate very smoothly. A wonderful performance this time made the fans overwhelmed.

Such a scene even England fans feel like they are in a dream.

In fact, this may seem unbelievable, but it is actually very easy to understand.

Now this England team can really be said to be the New England team. Although there are only a few young players who have changed, Wang Li alone in the midfield has changed the England team's midfield play a lot.

There is no doubt about that.

The midfield four Lampard, Beckham and Joe Cole are all former and current teammates of Wang Li. When Wang Li is on the field, Lampard and Joe Cole unconsciously start using In the way they played at Chelsea last season, their running positions completely revolved around Wang Li's range.

And Beckham is Wang Li's current teammate. They have cooperated for a whole season, and the two have a very tacit understanding.

It seems that the offense of this England team is even somewhat like that of the Spanish team, but in fact, all passing and offense revolve around Wang Li alone, and Wang Li hardly makes mistakes. That makes the team's offense look so smooth.

In a smooth attack, Paraguay's defense suffered an unprecedented challenge.

Before the game, Paraguay's head coach Annibal Ruiz emphasized that England's offense is very sharp, but most of the Paraguayan players did not take it to heart.

Among the teams of various countries in the world, the inheritance of a team's style is very serious. In their view, even if the England team completes a major change, its offensive ability cannot surpass teams like Brazil and Argentina.In the South American qualifiers, they were able to let go of fighting against Brazil and Argentina. What will they be afraid of when they meet the England team?
But now, they experience England's offensive frenzy.

As the game gradually deepened, Paraguay's situation became more and more critical. When all England players entered the game state, Paraguay's defense line seemed likely to be breached at any time.

Another England attack.

This time it was an attack organized by Lampard. He slowly dribbled the ball in the middle, wading past a Paraguayan midfielder, and then made a pass with David Beckham on the wing, with a precise straight kick. Sai handed the ball to Wang Li on the right side of the penalty area.

During this period of time, Wang Li has been active near the penalty area. His purpose is first to find opportunities for himself, and second, to attract the attention of a large number of defensive players on the other side. He is the most threatening position on the right side of the penalty area. It is also the most helpful to the team's offense.

Seeing Wang Li take the ball, the two Paraguayan players rushed up immediately.

They obeyed the instructions of the head coach and would never allow the black-haired boy in England to shoot at will. Although they did not understand what threat such a long distance could pose to the goal, this did not prevent them from coming to defend Wang Li.

When Wang Li saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Although Paraguay seem to attach great importance to his defense, they are actually a South American team after all. There is obviously a gap between the degree of "importance" they understand and the perception of various European clubs. In other words, Paraguay Still underestimated Wang Li, they didn't defend him endlessly.

For example, now there are only two Paraguayan players coming to press.

Can two defenders from the South American professional league make an impact on England's dark-haired boy?The answer is obviously no. Seeing this scene, the England fans in the audience were all very disdainful. They didn't worry about the black-haired kid on the field conceding the ball. Instead, they thought it was a good opportunity.

The fans all put their eyes on the court, and they felt that a wonderful scene was about to happen.

Their guess was correct.

Facing the defense of the two players, Wang Li gently pointed the ball forward with his toes. Just when the two Paraguayan players felt that he had made a mistake, he tapped his right foot on the top of the football to hold the ball, and then jumped up. , the body completed a 360-degree turn on the ball, and the moment it landed on the ground, the left foot gently took the ball, but in this way it passed directly between the two Paraguayan players.

Marseille roundabout! !
Many fans in the auditorium remembered the whole word, but they shook their heads silently, because although the action of the black-haired boy on the court just now resembled a Marseille roundabout, it was obviously more difficult than the Marseille roundabout, after all, he was in the middle of two players. Passed through the middle and was not blocked.

This is really unbelievable.

In fact, when Wang Li took the penalty kick with his right foot, he used Lingbo Weibuzhong's agility, so that he could pass between the two players without being closed. After passing the two players, he simply It's all about pulling the ball with skill.

It sounds simple, but all the fans in the audience felt incredible, and then there was crazy applause from the audience, and they all cheered for such an outstanding performance.

"Beautiful!!" Many commentators said at the same time.

But the game on the court did not stop. Wang Li was still dribbling the ball. He rushed into the penalty area from the right side. After meeting a Paraguayan defender, he turned around to protect the ball, and then glanced at the opponent's goalkeeper out of the corner of his eye. Position, without anyone reacting, raised his foot with his back to the goal and gently slapped the football--
The football flew over his and the Paraguayan player's head and was hoisted towards the goal!

Surprise attack! !
No one expected that the black-haired boy on the field would shoot so suddenly, this is the real cold shot.Although it was just a lob shot, it was impossible for anyone to react to this very casual shot, and the same was true for the opponent's goalkeeper Villar.

Luckily for Paraguay, however, the football was suspended over defender Menzur's head and flew off the crossbar, and they escaped unharmed.

There was a huge sigh from the audience. Whether it was an England fan or not, it was a pity that the goal was not scored just now.

England's offense became smoother as the game progressed.

Judging from the few attacks just now, Paraguay has nothing to do with the England team, especially Wang Li's attack, and it is only a matter of time before the England team scores a goal. Players also feel that there is no hope for Paraguay.

French comprehensive sports TV ---
"...Paraguay's defense can't limit Alan Wang's performance at all. There seems to be no suspense in this game. The strength gap between the two teams is too large. As a second-tier team, Paraguay has played like this. It is really surprising. "

"We can see that the performance of the England team is really good. I hope that the French team will not meet them in the knockout round, otherwise it will definitely be a tough battle."

Whether the battle is tough or not is a matter for the French team, and now the head coach of Paraguay, Annibal Ruiz, is full of helplessness.

Before going to the World Cup, Annibal Ruiz set the goal for the team to draw with England and beat the other two teams, so that Paraguay can easily qualify for the group stage.

He didn't force it, he just wanted to tie the game. Faced with such a start, as long as they can tie with England, then Paraguay's next situation will be very good.

But looking at the current situation, it is too difficult to tie the score. The most important thing is that Paraguay must defend the goal. If England scores a goal, it will be too difficult for them to recover, let alone Santa Cruz It has been almost 10 minutes since Si stood idly in the frontcourt.The Bayern Munich shooter never got any chances, because Paraguay couldn't pass the ball in the half.

As the game progressed, the gap between the two teams became wider and wider.

"It's not a level contest at all."

Taking advantage of the game's idle time, Zhang Jianxiang, a special guest from the ancient Oriental Kingdom TV, commented: "Paraguay is not England's opponent at all. From the statistics from the game to the present, England's ball possession rate is as high as 81%. 5 times, 3 shots on the goal frame."

"Paraguay is the complete opposite. Their ball possession rate is only 19%, and they have 0 shots. This gap is too obvious. I think if there is still suspense in the game, unless Wang Li is not wearing shooting boots today."

Not only the media of the ancient oriental country, but almost all the media in the world think so.

Perhaps they were right. It was too difficult for Paraguay to beat England, but no one thought that the first goal was actually Paraguay——
To be precise, it was the Paraguayan defender who scored the goal, and it was England who cheered because it was an own goal
During England's siege of Paraguay's penalty area, Wang Li stood in the penalty area and attracted the attention of many Paraguayan defenders. Then Beckham lobbed the ball into the penalty area with a long pass. In the chaos, Wang Li did not pay attention Where the ball hits, the referee blew the whistle to confirm the goal.

Everyone in the England team is at a loss. They lead the score but don't know how to lead.From the playback on the big screen of the stadium, everyone in the audience knew the reason: it was Paraguayan midfielder Dos Santos who scored the goal.

In the chaos, Wang Li wanted to take Lingbo Weibu to grab the ball, but the penalty area was too chaotic. In such a crowded situation, even if Lingbo Weibu wanted to find the best gap to catch the ball, he still couldn't It's not something that can be done in 1,2 or [-] seconds.

So he didn't catch the ball, but because of his disturbance, the Paraguayan players didn't know where the ball flew. As a result, the football hit the shoulder of Dos Santos and bounced into the goal.

England took the lead by surprise.

"Now, the score on the field has been dramatically rewritten. The England team leads 1:0. It seems that the England team is not only suppressing Paraguay in terms of strength, but also very lucky."

Regardless of luck or strength, although the goal just now was scored by a Paraguayan player, it is still England's goal. The important thing is not the process, but the result.

And if we talk about the process, then the biggest contributor to this goal is England's captain David Beckham!

The pass to the penalty area just now was too precise. Although it is unbelievable that the pass turned into a goal, it is undeniable that the quality of the pass is very high. It is worth mentioning that the game has progressed so far. Among the players, apart from Wang Li, the best performer was Beckham.

So far, Beckham has played four precise arcs, two of which turned into shots and one into a goal. This efficiency is too high. This is not the strength of a forward player Strong relationship, and more importantly, the quality of Beckham's curveball is simply too high.

For example, this time, England launched an attack from the right.

Several people in the middle are running forward following the rhythm of the players, and Wang Li is the same. He runs forward in the middle of the penalty area, while scanning the right side of his eyes, ready to catch the ball at any time.

On the right, after several times of cooperation, Lampard and Beckham finally brought the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and then Lampard passed back to Beckham.

Immediately after Beckham received the ball, a Paraguayan player ran towards him, but instead of rushing to pass the ball, Beckham swung the ball forward and glanced at the direction of the penalty area with his eyes. When a player was about to steal from close quarters, he swung his right foot and slammed it directly on the lower edge of the football.

What is a real arc! ?

Lampard can't do it, and neither can Joe Cole. Even Wang Li is willing to bow down when he sees this pass! !

I saw the football directly draw an arc, bypassing the Paraguayan players in front of Beckham, and then circled a big arc, directly 'rushing' to the top of Michael Owen's head.

And all England's golden boy had to do was tap his head on the ball --
football kicks out
It seems that Owen seems to be out of form today. This is the second time he has wasted a chance.

However, this cannot conceal the brilliance of Beckham——
"David!! David~~~~~~~Beckham!! He is a true talent and we saw his curveball again at the Allianz Arena in Munich, it was so beautiful, this time The pass went right over Irving's head, it was too accurate, but the golden boy's shot was also real."

Seeing this pass, Wang Li couldn't help giving Beckham a thumbs up.

Originally, Wang Li felt that he had already surpassed Beckham in every aspect. The so-called "Bezier's free kick" that Beckham was good at was not as efficient as his free kick, so he only had respect and friendship for Beckham. But I didn't feel how strong Beckham was.

But now, he knows that he is not as good as Beckham in one aspect, and that is the precise high-altitude long pass.

It should be said that on this point, the two are not comparable at all. Beckham's famous stunt really cannot be underestimated. Such a precise arc long pass, I am afraid that only Beckham in the world can kick it out.

While the fans were still marveling at Beckham's curve ball, England's next offensive started again.

Perhaps it was the last attack that gave England's star players the confidence to attack. After launching the attack, Wang Li ran around in the penalty area to attract the attention of the defenders. Rooney, Owen and Joe Cole , constantly changing positions with the rhythm of the right, looking for the opportunity to catch the ball.

As the game progressed, the Paraguayan defensive player finally found that the black-haired boy of the England team was really the most threatening, and he alone was even more threatening than the two players in England.

This is the reason why Wang Li has not launched a strong long-range shot. Just dribbling makes these Paraguayan players find it difficult to defend.

But in this way, the opportunities for other England players have obviously increased.

Rooney and Owen were each marked by a Paraguayan player, and when Joe Cole came in from the left, there was no player to defend.

Paraguay missed out!

This is just a small gap. All the audience saw this scene, but most people didn't take it seriously. After all, there are always opportunities, but most of them are difficult to convert into scoring opportunities. That's the big difference.

But this time, Beckham, who had just dribbled the ball across the center line, saw this scene.

After reacting, he took the ball forward, and under the surprised eyes of Paraguayan midfielder Dos Santos, he directly kicked the lower edge of the football. The football spun and drew a curved arc in the air, bypassing The penalty area rushed to the left.

While running, Joe Cole stretched out his foot to unload the ball easily, then lifted his right foot and volleyed vigorously! !
The opponent's goalkeeper Villar subconsciously blocked, but the football had already flown into the net from his legs, and the audience was in awe. Two seconds later——
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

"David~~~~~~Beckham~!~~~!!"

"My goodness, the pass was at least 60 meters long, a fantastic long pass!! Beckham!! Beckham again!! The captain of England did a great job in the game, He seems to have found the state he was in two years ago, and his performance is definitely the best in the world!!"

"I'm so excited!! Belle's Curveball lives up to its name!!"

"At this moment, I just want to say that in the whole world, yes, there is only one Beckham in the whole world!! Only one!!"

"Beckham~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!"

Seeing this goal, all the England fans in the auditorium were inexplicably excited. They seemed to see the Beckham who performed well in Old Trafford five years ago. That was the pride of England!
And now, has their Beckham found the same state as before?Is he back to the top?
At this moment, Joe Cole, who was the goal scorer, was full of mourning. He has been forgotten by everyone.
