Chapter 199 The one who kills is the host

England's first group match at Euro [-] will be against hosts Poland.

Although in terms of the strength of the two teams, the host is not England's opponent at all, but people have to worry about whether there will be surprises in this game. After all, the host's advantage is still obvious.

However, from the comparison of the strength of the group, there is no doubt that Poland's luck is not very good. In addition to England, they are also in the same group as the Netherlands and Turkey.

Although as far as the European Championship is concerned, there is basically no so-called group of death, because everyone is regarded as a group of death, and no one is invincible, but if we don’t talk about the host’s advantage, Poland is undoubtedly the weakest team in the group Team.

England is in full swing, the Netherlands has never been weak, Turkey's will is amazing, and Poland has nothing to compete with other than the identity of the host.

So in terms of the general situation, it is not difficult for England to defeat Poland.

Benhak's ability to stay in the post undoubtedly has a huge role in promoting the development of the Polish team.

They were able to reach the main match of the European Championship four years ago, and it is not an extravagant hope to seek a little breakthrough at their own doorstep this year.

However, considering his own strength and England's aspirations, Benhak still regards his style of play as a defensive counterattack, even though he knows it is difficult to defend.

And because of Zhurawski's retirement, the Polish striker has been hit hard.

Fortunately, the core axis Boruk, Kzhinovic, and Smolarek are all there. Guerrero, who was brought in from Brazil, is in good condition. In addition, the attacking midfielder such as Lewandowski is also strong. good.

Capello sent a lineup of 442 in this game, and the midfielder is officially a diamond-shaped position that people want and don't want.

There is no doubt about the goalkeeper Niu Shisan, Glenn Johnson gets the starting lineup, Ashley Cole is still on the left, and the two central defenders have remained unchanged for many years, Terry and Ferdinand.

Midfielder Mike's defensive midfielder, Joe Cole was placed on the left, and Walcott started on the right. The tiger's attack power is now enough to make Capello trust, and both players are sitting on the bench. The starting midfielder was undoubtedly given to Nain.

The forwards are Rooney and Abanglaho, and the latter is more like a swinging wide player.

Such a starting lineup will be England's first team in this cup if nothing unexpected happens.

After the start of the game, England's interception in the middle was quite frightening. Mike is known for being clingy, which made Krzynovic, who is known as a bull, feel quite irritated, and Guerrero, who was beside him, was even more frustrated by Nineka. several times.

At least in the middle, England completely occupied the top, and Poland's already weak midfielder completely lost control. This situation forced Smolarek in front to frequently retreat to get the ball. Unfortunately, the football could reach his feet. There are so few opportunities.

Even so, Niu Shisan still had a few opportunities to perform, because Guerrero chose long-range shots when he couldn't pass others, and this Brazilian long-range shot, which is more authentic than Nain, is not low in quality, and once again even made the Niu Shisan let go, but fortunately the Polish striker Pischezek who was pushed in front didn't keep up, otherwise Niu Shisan really couldn't guarantee whether he would concede a goal!

This situation does not mean that Niu Shisan's competitive state has declined, but because he has not had such a heavy game for a while, and he is not used to it for a while.

England's offense only became a threat after half of the first half, which also made the already hopeful Polish fans enthusiastic, as if they wanted to overwhelm England, but it was a pity that Benhak Just planning to defend and counterattack, England is not in a hurry to attack, but he wants to suppress the players not to mess up.

Just when the hearts of the Polish players were fluctuating and many people wanted to steal one first, they had been doing defensive work and handed over the scheduling organization to Mike's Nain, who suddenly made a long pass to Walcott on the right in the middle circle.

At this time, people seemed to realize that Poland had no players in that position.

Walcott's speed is naturally not slow. Although he is not used to it, his attitude of catching the ball is still very firm, which is why he can catch up with football.

After unloading the ball and looking around, Walcott didn't feel uncomfortable. He went straight to the penalty area and met Zevlakov who was defending. On the edge of the penalty area, Rooney and Abang Rajo is already in place in tandem.

Because in the penalty area, Zevlakov's movements seemed a little stiff, obviously he was worried about fouling due to excessive defensive movements.This is the host's pressure, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If there is insufficient confidence, problems will easily arise.

Sure enough, Walcott made a gesture to move to the bottom line, and Zevrakov shifted his center of gravity without thinking much.

Such an easy fake move opened the gap, and Walcott also accepted the ceremony, and even pulled the ball directly past the opponent.In fact, he was going to hand the ball to Wayne Rooney.

But at this time, he didn't think about anything else anymore. After a little adjustment, he directly chose to shoot.

The football flew towards the far corner with a not-so-obvious arc, but when Capello was about to get up to celebrate the arrival of the first goal, Boruck jumped up and held the football out.

The goal turned into a corner!
There are rumors that Milan's Galliani once commented on Boruc as "Europe's number one goalkeeper". level, otherwise why would he overwhelm the two substitute goalkeepers of Manchester United and Arsenal.

However, after the corner kick was taken, Poland made a mistake. England was indeed not as strong as Poland's bullish midfielder, but the two sides did not rely entirely on strength when they competed for the spot. Now England can still play small tactics.

"How do I feel that England is cheating!" This is the opinion of many neutral fans or coaches in the stands.

If the match against Poland is from Vietnam, everyone can accept it. After all, there is a big difference in height, but now there is basically no physical difference between the two sides, but England still needs to play short corner kick tactics.

Look at Rooney, he jumped up, but when he jumped up, he leaned back and squeezed Zevrakov who was defending him away. The latter jumped up and hit the football, but it was too reluctant, and the football wiped his forehead. Fly directly to the back point.

Facing the flying football, Joe Cole put his right foot in the right position and swung the ball. The football was pressed very low and directly stuck to the turf and went into the goal. It didn't go well, and besides, he was out of position when the corner kick was taken, and there was nothing he could do at this time.

The happiest person for this goal is naturally Capello. He dared to use such a corner kick. I have felt that now he only wants to be the champion. In order to win the championship, it is not too much to do this once. Besides, if the face can be exchanged for the championship, he has already won the championship in England, so he still needs himself!
One is the selection of Joe Cole and Nain. The selection of the former shows Capello's determination. He recalled a person who had abandoned him. It seems a bit slapped in the face, but everything is fine. Nain, Capello just made a suggestion, but he didn't expect the FA to be able to handle it, but he didn't know what was involved.

After a one-to-zero lead, England's players naturally let go. Although their previous performance was not timid, they were not too direct, and their offense was not proactive enough.

Naturally, Benhak was unwilling to accept such a situation. Although he was prepared to lose, he didn't intend to let England win so easily.

Smolarek was forced to stay in front by him, and Guerrero was also asked to pass more through balls. As for Krzynovic, his long-range shot is the number one in Poland. The title of bull is not just a general Body, also refers to the style of playing football, it is appropriate to be unreasonable.

Niu Shisan is naturally not afraid of long-range shooting, but if he shoots a lot, he can't rely on it!
Niu Shisan asked Terry and Ferdinand to press on, but the two are also very awkward now, because Smolarek moved forward, which made them dare not relax. After all, they are also considered senior players now. Too big to bear.

And Krzynovik is really savage, he dared to shoot from 25 to 30 meters, and he also shot from [-] meters.

For a while, England hadn't organized the next wave of attacks, but Niu Shisan enjoyed a feast of bulls.Fortunately, in the past month or so, he has done a lot of pre-judgment training, coupled with his sharp nerve arc, although he was rather embarrassed, he didn't have much difficulty in throwing the ball. The ball is pressed in the arms, not giving the opponent any chance.

At the end of the first half, although England relaxed, they still reserved their attack. Although Poland wanted to counterattack, their investment was always limited. With England's defense in the backcourt, they really had nothing to do.

Changing sides to fight again, this time Capello has only one request, to take the initiative, the game in the first half was indeed a bit embarrassing, although the England midfielder had the advantage in possession of the ball, but there were too few opportunities to take the initiative to attack. Stroll outside the opponent's defense range and brush up the pass data.

In this situation, Capello was unhappy, and Rooney was also unhappy, because he received too few balls in the first half. He wanted to go to Mike to let his little brother give him a chance, but he also knew that Capello was going to organize the offense now. Leave it to Nain, this is the purpose of calling up Manchester City captain.

Fortunately, Nain did not show humility in the first half. He gave up the organization to Mike. For a while, the latter was more familiar with the habits of the players on the field than he was, and the other was that he needed the opportunity to observe the defensive habits of the Polish players, so Come and take a break.

"Rooney, can you go up a bit in the second half, preferably on the same level as their last defender, so that the threat can be greater!"

Although this is not in line with Rooney's habits, but seeing Nain's determined expression, and the expressions of Barry, Niu Shisan, Mike and others who are familiar with him, Rooney had to accept a penalty kick. "As long as I can score goals, I can be a defender!"

The situation was as Nain expected. Zevrakov and his partner Buck always stood in the previous and later positions. Although this could defend England's long pass, it was a bit inappropriate in creating offsides. After all, the density of defense got smaller.

And Nain wanted this kind of opportunity, Rooney pressed forward and stood behind Buck, and Abang Raho supported on the other side, so that Buck had to retreat, and Zevlakov, who wanted to cause offside, had to Move forward, when the hatchback moves, Nain passes the ball, Abang Laho in front is offside, but he is walking back, but Rooney runs forward with his head up, he is not offside, and Nain's pass is also looking for him.

Facing Boruk single-handedly, Rooney didn't give the opponent any chance to show off. With a rub of the arch of his foot, the football flew around the opponent's body and flew straight into the goal.

England scored at the start of the second half and the score was already 2-0.

As a result, Benhak became entangled. He had already signaled Buck to retreat and stand parallel to Zevlakov, but now he still had other things to consider, whether to defend or attack. The goal of defense was naturally a small number of balls. The offense is not trying to win back, it's just trying to score goals.

Turning his head to look at Kushchak, he remembered the suggestion given by the No. [-] goalkeeper. Maybe he really shouldn't face that goalkeeper.

But now that I have done everything, I have to do it thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Benhak replaced Guerrero with Zahoski, added a striker, and removed the midfielder who had been unable to integrate into the team.

"Benhak started to gamble. I really don't know what to say about him. As far as his experience is concerned, he should be more straightforward when facing England. It doesn't matter if he puts all his eggs in one basket. He insists on pretending to defend and counterattack, but he can't defend and is unwilling to attack. , Now it’s completely different!" Many coaches were watching the game, but their evaluations were basically the same, and I don’t know if it’s just a bystander.

Newcomer Zakhoski moved forward, Pisczek moved wide and Smolarek was a shadow striker, basically trying to compensate for Poland's presence in midfield when Guerrero was gone. disadvantage.

That is to say, even if it was a bet, Benhak didn't place enough bets. If he wanted to break through Niu Shisan's goal with this method, it was still too late.

Perhaps because they are really getting old, Ferdinand and Terry occasionally appear distracted, which makes Niu Shisan have to be highly vigilant.

Sure enough, Lewandowski pulled a side pass, and Pischezek, who was on the top, shook Ferdinand at the same time. The football flew over the heads of the two and turned to Smolarek, who was on the back. Chasing Terry interfered, but Smolarek, who was determined to break through the goal, flicked his arm to interfere with Terry, and then faced Niu Shisan, who had already attacked, single-handedly.

Looking at Niu Shisan who was moving in front of him, Smolarek actually chose to hit the wicket for some reason.

The goalkeeper's wicket is especially easy to break through. With a turn of his toes, he squatted down with his left foot, and Niu Shisan bent forward and hugged the football directly in his arms.

Missing such an opportunity, Benhak also leaned weakly on the coach's bench, looked up at the fans opposite, feeling a little regretful in his heart, he had experienced a lot, should he also consider retirement after this game, after all, now Some of the problems are outdated, and I don't have the same courage as before.

The goal that destroyed the will of the Polish team came later. Niu Shisan took advantage of an offside kick and passed the ball to the front of the Polish penalty area.

Rooney, who received the ball, headed the ball with his back to the Polish goal and handed the ball to Nain. Nain, who unloaded the ball, made a long shot to the side, but when Zevlakov came out to block the ball, The ball was passed into the penalty area.

Abanglahuo took advantage of the situation and poked the ball, and the football flew towards the inside.

England finally made a good start to the cup with a score of 3-0, which also put host Poland on the cusp.
