Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 533 It's Real This Time
When Rooney scored the third goal of the game, the game had already progressed to the 44th minute of the first half, and there was only stoppage time before the intermission.

The England players did not procrastinately celebrate the goal. After a simple celebration, all the players returned to their positions.

In this game, Wang Li felt pretty good. He felt that he was in a very good state, and he was a little intoxicated by the atmosphere of the World Cup.

In the 45 minutes of the first half, the England team scored a total of 3 goals. Joe Cole and Rooney scored one each, and the other was an own goal by the opponent.

In other words, Wang Li did not score a goal, which is a pity for him.

Seeing Rooney's excited look just scored, Wang Li was very envious. After all, this is a World Cup game. Although his performance was unanimously affirmed by everyone and he also had an assist, but from the analysis of the data, he did not score. It is the most regrettable.

Although there was not much time in the first half of the game, Wang Li still worked hard in the frontcourt. He hoped to use the last time to score another goal.

If the Paraguayan players know that the black-haired boy in England thinks so, I'm afraid they will never have a good face: You have scored three goals, there is only so little time left, and you still want to score! ?
This really does not put Paraguay in the eyes! !

However, until the end of the first half, Wang Li did not find anything good. After all, the time was too short. After two attacks and a counterattack from Paraguay, the first half was over.

3: 0.

In the first half, England had an absolute advantage in the score.

…………

The English players who returned to the locker room from the court were in a relaxed and happy mood, because they had an absolute advantage in the first half. There is not much suspense about the outcome of this game, and every player has no pressure at all.

Judging from this situation, if Paraguay still wants to score points in the group stage, they will definitely launch a fierce attack in the second half to fight for the last chance. After all, it is still possible to recover 3 goals, although that possibility is very small .

So small that England players can ignore it!
They really have reason to be excited. This is the first group match. They got off to a good start and defeated the Paraguay team other than them in the group. It is no problem for them to appear in the group.

There was no pressure, and the England dressing room was buzzing with players discussing the first half of the game.

Joe Cole was the protagonist, he scored the first World Cup goal if not counting Paraguay's first own goal, so the other players kept pulling his hair in 'jealousy' and after a while, Joe . Cole's slightly long straight hair has become a bird's nest.

This scene was taken by the absolutely 'dark' Lampard with his mobile phone.

What follows is a hilarious farce.

In contrast, in Paraguay's locker room, the atmosphere was much more sombre.

Before the head coach Annibal Ruiz returned to the locker room, the players were doing their own thing in silence. Most of them rested on their chairs, and no one spoke.

The first half of the game was a nightmare for them!
3: 0.

Even if the game is over, this score is not acceptable to them, and now they have conceded three goals in just halftime.

"Are we really so different from that group of Englishmen?"

Many players began to reflect. After making a comparison in their hearts, they found that the Paraguay team was indeed far behind the England team. This was not only reflected in the player's worth.

Judging from the first half of the game, the England team has mastered the overall situation, and they are better than them in terms of ball possession rate, pass success rate and other data.The individual skills of the England players may not be outstanding, but their cooperation and physical fitness are much better than those of the Paraguay team.

After all, most of the England team now comes from the Premier League, which is the most competitive league in the world, so the England team is stronger than Paraguay in terms of physical confrontation by more than 01:30 points.

What's more, England's offense is very simple. If you use a few words to describe it: passing, shooting, everything is as simple as that. This is the style of English football.

In the past, perhaps English football was not strong, because their offensive methods were too simple, without gorgeous coordination, smooth and precise skills, it was really difficult to score goals, but two people changed everything, that is Wang Li and Baker Ham.

Beckham's pass was too precise!
Regardless of the fact that the first own goal was caused by Beckham's pass, the second Joe Cole's goal was completely created by Beckham's 60-meter ultra-long-distance 'fixed-point' pass. Such a player , In England's simple offensive system, the role it can play is too great.

And Wang Li's skills are by no means comparable to any player in Paraguay.

This point has already been reflected in the first half. In the face of Wang Li's dribbling, Paraguay's 2,3 or [-] players are really difficult to intercept him. Rooney's goal is directly related to Wang Li. He attracted all Paraguayan players. After the player's attention, he accurately sent the ball to Rooney's feet.

It is these two players that make England's offense so threatening.

That is to say, compared with Paraguay and England, without Beckham and Wang Li, Paraguay may have some advantages in terms of technology and offense, but with these two, they will be completely passive .

The two teams are simply not comparable in all aspects.

This reality makes the Paraguayan players even more unmotivated. "Brace yourself up guys!!!"

Seeing the state of the players, the head coach of Paraguay, Annibal Ruiz, also understood. Faced with a score of 3:0, the local coach of Paraguay did not have much hope for the game, but the game was only halfway through. Paraguay still has a chance, and he can't just give up.

Then give it a go! !
Ruiz had no choice but to do so. "The game is not over yet, we still have a chance!"

Annibal Ruiz continued: "They are not invincible, although we are three goals behind, there is still hope. I hope you will make a last-ditch effort, think about it, if you can finish in the second half Shocking reversal, then each of you will become a hero, this game will spread to the whole world, and you will be famous at that time, boys, cheer up!"

Annibal Ruiz's words are very practical. He is right. Now Paraguay is three goals behind. If they can win the game or even tie the score, Paraguay will become the focus of all media immediately after the game.

They will soon be dubbed a 'super dark horse'.

Perhaps, the England team will also be flattened to nothing. This game will become a topic that fans talk about for many years.

Such a prospect allowed the Paraguayan players to regain some morale. After all, the game is not over yet, just like Ruiz said, they still have a chance, don't they?
After saying two more words of encouragement to the players, Ruiz began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

There is nothing too complicated about tactics, the important thing is offense.

To equalize the score, Paraguay can only aggressively attack, because it is almost impossible to score 45 goals in 3 minutes relying solely on defensive counterattacks, not to mention that the head coach of the England team, McLaren, is not a fool!
If Paraguay counterattacks and scores one, England will definitely strengthen its defense, and then you score the second, which is considered luck, but you still want to score the third?
It was almost a dream! !

"When defending, pay attention to moving the formation back, not giving the opponent a chance to cooperate, and using the body to seal the shooting angle. You must pay attention to the opponent's No. 21. You have seen it in the first half. This black-haired kid's ability Very strong, he's the best star in England," Ruiz added to the defense after setting up the attack.

After the first half of the game, there were no Paraguayan players who questioned Wang Li's personal ability. Facing the coach's order, they all nodded tacitly.

"Okay, that's all for now. Remember, even if we lose, we still have to play as a team. This is a World Cup game, and the English must not be arrogant!!" At the end, Ruiz encouraged Said morale.

But in the locker room of the England team, nothing happened. When the head coach McLaren returned to the locker room, he only emphasized the need to pay more attention to defense at the beginning of the second half, and let Wang Li stand in front of the team to deter Paraguay. .

McLaren felt that such an arrangement was enough. After all, the England team is now leading by 3 goals. Even if the goal is lost, he still has time to make adjustments on the spot.

Wang Li is very satisfied with this arrangement, because he does not need to participate in the defense.

As an offensive player, Wang Li only likes to attack. All McLaren entrusts him with offensive tasks. This is what Wang Li hopes to see. After all, he has little concept of money, and he came to this world just to enjoy life. .

Now that he has made enough money, he just enjoys football more on the pitch.

However, if the England team is in crisis, he will still defend. After all, this is a World Cup match. He is still very yearning for the Hercules Cup, which is the highest football trophy in the world.

The intermission time passed quickly, and in the anticipation of the fans in the audience, the players of the two teams finally returned to the court.

With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game officially began.

Just as McLaren judged, Paraguay launched a fierce offensive at the beginning!

In order to tie the score, they had to attack.

At this time, they almost gave up defense completely, and almost all 11 people participated in the attack except the goalkeeper. In this way, Paraguay's formation was pulled very forward, and Wang Li had to stand behind the center line, otherwise his teammates would pass the ball Give it to him, that's offside.

Under this offensive, England's defense seemed precarious.

Don't underestimate Paraguay's offense. This kind of South American football that incorporates European style has an offensive ability that is by no means inferior to that of traditional European teams. This is an offense that sacrifices defensive ability. Paraguay has already fought hard!

Therefore, in the opening 5 minutes of the second half, Wang Li did not receive a pass, and the football kept flying around in the England half.

At the beginning, Rooney, Owen and Wang Li all stood near the center line.

One minute later, Rooney returned to his own penalty area, and three minutes later, Owen also returned to his own penalty area, leaving only Wang Li in the frontcourt.

In fact, this is a very good opportunity for Wang Li. As long as the ball can reach his feet, it will definitely pose a threat to Paraguay's goal.

However, the football just can't be passed out at all! !

Paraguay's attack made the English players a little panicked, because in the first half they went smoothly, and now the situation has completely changed.

As a result, in the 53rd minute of the game, Paraguay scored.

This is a powerful position advance.Paraguay played the ball back and forth outside the England penalty area, and after a few times the ball was passed down the left lane.

Barreto on the left side shifted the ball to the center, and Acuna in the center lobbed the ball high into the penalty area. After Santa Cruz grabbed the point, the header was ferried to the winger Garvey who was inserted on the right side of the penalty area. Lan, the latter catches the ball and turns around to volley!
Thomas had no reaction to the shot from close range, and the ball flew straight into the net, where Paraguayan winger Gavilan pulled it back.

This goal seems to have regained the fighting spirit of the Paraguayan players.

After the re-kick-off, Paraguay's attack was even more violent.Seeing this situation, McLaren also stood on the sidelines anxiously, directing the players to defend. If it wasn't a good opportunity for a counterattack, Wang Li might also go back to defend.

Another Paraguayan attack.

Santa Cruz got a chance outside the penalty area, received a pass from his teammate while running, and then directly changed direction to get rid of John Terry, kicked and hit the goal directly, the football flew to the far corner, and the fans in the audience were shocked call.

Thomas made a flying save and saved the ball over the baseline.

Seeing this scene, Wang Li looked forward to the next Paraguay corner kick, Thomas could pick the ball with both hands, then it must be his chance next time.

It is a pity that this corner kick was pushed out of the field by a Paraguayan player.

England got a respite, and Paraguay took advantage of this time to get back in place.

It was a pity that Wang Li missed the best time to counterattack. However, he returned to the backcourt and directed the team to make a steady push to regain momentum.

Momentum is very important in a game.

Often a team with momentum can exert stronger strength and defeat stronger opponents.

In this disadvantaged situation, Wang Li wants to use a wave of advancement to pull back the team's momentum. A steady offense can often stabilize the player's mood in the game and get back to the state.

Under Wang Li's command, England's advance was very steady. After the football passed several times in England's backcourt, they saw that the frontcourt players all ran to their positions, and Lampard, who was behind him, made a sudden oblique pass. Opened the curtain of England's offense.At the same moment, Wang Li, who had just finished commanding the team's offense, also ran across the center line. He ran to a position near the penalty area line. He was not in a hurry to ask for the ball from his teammates, but just ran around there, constantly defending himself closely. of Paraguayan players vie for position.

The Paraguayan players defended Wang Li very tightly, which made Wang Li seem to be fighting for a header when he was fighting for position, but in fact, the football had only just crossed the center line.After a few passes, the football was handed over to Joe Cole on the left. After a two-on-one match with Ferdinand who was plugging in, he passed the ball diagonally to Wang Li.In fact, Wang Li didn't run out of position at all, but after more than a year of cooperation with Chelsea, Joe Cole understood Wang Li's ability very well. He knew that Wang Li would definitely catch his pass.

Sure enough, Wang Li stepped forward and received the pass before the Paraguayan player who was cut off in the middle could react. Looking in the direction of the penalty area, he subconsciously made a big-footed volley.

"Alan's long shot!!"

At the same time, Graham of Sky TV shouted excitedly, but in fact, Wang Li just used this action to shake another Paraguayan player away.

"He's scaring people!"

The Paraguayan player who was swayed away was the midfielder Dos Santos. Seeing himself being swayed by such an action, he was a little unwilling and shouted at his teammates: "Stop him!!"

So, two Paraguayan players immediately surrounded Wang Li.

This time, Wang Li made another big-footed volley, which made one of the Paraguayan players jump up on the spot, while the other subconsciously turned around and tried to block the ball with his body, but Wang Li glanced at it. In the penalty area, seeing that there was no chance, he passed the ball lightly to Lampard who was plugging in.

Lampard got his chance!

At this time, Lampard was unguarded, but he still didn't shoot. After all, he hadn't crossed the penalty area line yet. His shooting efficiency was really not high, and he didn't want to waste the team's chance. Therefore, when the Paraguayan player stepped forward, He kicked the ball back to Wang Li again.

After Wang Li received the ball, he had to face Dos Santos again. The Paraguayan midfielder had been pestering him since the second half, and Wang Li was a little tired of watching it.

This time, Wang Li moved the ball to the left, trying to change direction and pass the opponent.

But Dos Santos was not fooled, he followed Wang Li, so Wang Li could only speed up a little to get rid of him, and then, on the line of the penalty area, two more Paraguayan players surrounded him.

This situation made Wang Li a little annoyed.

The Paraguayan team has obviously strengthened their defense against him. I am afraid that the opposing head coach emphasized his defense during the intermission.

However, Wang Li didn't want to pass the ball this time, because at this time, he was in the middle of the penalty area line, no matter which direction he took the ball, he would have room to shoot.

Now, he really wants to score goals.

Therefore, under the pressure of the three, Wang Li went directly to the right, and the three Paraguayan players immediately followed.

During the dribbling, Wang Li ran to the right in a hurry. He used the "shadowless foot" continuously to make the Paraguayan players wonder where the ball was. After that, he suddenly pulled back and threw the two Paraguayan players away. Dos Santos was the only one left behind.

At this time, the corner of Wang Li's mouth twitched, he glanced in the direction of the goal from the corner of his eye, and swung his right leg directly.

"You still want to scare me?" Seeing Wang Li's action, Dos Santos said something, but he was not moved at all.

So, Wang Li kicked the bottom of the football.

Under everyone's gaze, the football almost drew a straight line in the sky and rushed straight into the upper left corner of Paraguay's goal.

"This time. It's true."

Looking at the dumbfounded expressions of the Paraguayan players in front of him, Wang Li reminded him in a 'kindly' way.
