Lessel Landmark Stadium.

The stadium that can accommodate more than 80,000 people is full, and there are more than 30,000 Chinese fans!

Even if Chinese fans who came to Qatar were selling their money, they would try to buy a ticket to today's quarter-finals, because this is probably a rare opportunity in their lifetime to witness the Chinese team compete in the quarterfinals on the World Cup stage!

When we came to the World Cup, we gathered the 32 strongest teams in all continents in the world. As the event progressed, there are only 8 teams left now!

Today's first quarter-finals match, the Chinese team faced England. This also goes from the perspective of the Chinese team at least achieved good results in the top eight of this World Cup!

Even if Chinese fans joke that this is the Chinese team vs. the European Chinese team, it does not hinder the enthusiasm of Chinese fans at all!

Since winning the local World Cup, England has no outstanding performance on the World Cup stage. The last World Cup was a miserable soldier, but he did not expect to pass the hurdles and reach the semi-finals. This competition was naturally highly expected!

All four games in the previous four games were smooth, and no opponent could cause trouble for the England team. Today, the Chinese team was considered a sign-up by the whole country.

But when the game was about to begin, all the English fans and Chinese fans who watched the game couldn't help but feel nervous!

Of course they will have a strong sense of worrying about gains and losses.

I hope the team can go further!

Even for Chinese fans, it's like a dream!

But the Chinese team is not without the capital to create miracles!

When the starters of the two teams stood on the court to line up for the kickoff ceremony, everyone on the sidelines also looked solemn.

"Central TV, CCTV, good evening, everyone, welcome to watch the first game of the quarter-finals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the quarter-finals between China and England is about to begin.

I believe many fans are still immersed in the great joy of the Chinese team entering the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

The Chinese team has made a self-breakthrough in this World Cup and has reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup beyond expectations!

It can be said that none of us will be dissatisfied with the performance of the Chinese team, but since we have the opportunity to strive to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, why don’t we work hard to win?

I believe that the team of the legendary young coach Situ Yunbing is always full of enthusiasm for victory and has great ambitions for moving forward!

Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams now.

The Chinese team started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.

Defenders: Abuduhaimiti, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Lei.

Midfielder: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.

Forward: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.

The Chinese team still uses the most common main lineup in this World Cup.

The starter of England is also 433.

Goalkeeper: Pickford.

Defenders: Arnold, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell.

Midfielder: Barkley, Ali, Delphi.

Forwards: Sterling, Rashford, Sancho.

It is worth noting that England's main center Harry Kane is injured and has no starting lineup, but I don't know if his situation can be a substitute.

All England players come from Premier League teams, while Bai Yuanfan played in the Premier League for one and a half years in the Chinese team. It can be said that Bai Yuanfan has more experience in fighting Premier League players than other teammates.

Okay, the game begins soon, let’s see if the Chinese team can achieve another good result today!”

With the referee's whistle, the Chinese team took the lead in kicking off.

The England team's forward line carefully pressed forward and counterattacked. After the Chinese team kicked off, they fell in the backcourt. They didn't seem to have any desire to attack, and even the forward stayed in the middle and backcourt.

This English team, Situ Yunbing, is very familiar with. Except for three disciples, other players play for his former opponents who coached the Red Army.

There must be some shortcomings, but compared to the strength of the Chinese team, it will not seem to be a weakness.

When fighting against England, the Chinese team must become smarter, and cannot just fight against England and compete with the rhythm!

It can be said that England is the top European team in a fast-paced way of playing, and what is slightly insufficient is midfield creativity. If there is an organizational creative midfielder second only to De Bruyne's top level, then England's offense will truly become world-class. After all, in terms of speed and technology, Sterling at their peak and Sancho and Rashford are definitely not inferior to other technical teams.

When the Chinese team contracted their formation and passed the ball in the backcourt, Southgate put his hands on his hips and looked puzzled.

He knew that the Chinese team had a good idea to delay the game, but that was after the Chinese team took the lead!

Maybe he has studied the Chinese team too few games.

If time is moved to the Copa America final more than three years ago, Southgate will know that even in a draw, the Chinese team can control the ball with peace of mind and delay time and consume opponents.

This is also the reason why South American media are ashamed of the Chinese team's victory.

If the Chinese team held high the offensive football banner and defeated Brazil, then the South American media would inevitably use this as the explosion point to criticize the South American heroes for not being enterprising and not being as good as others. However, the Chinese team's playing style can be labeled as "anti-football", which makes South American media unable to recognize their victory and their championship.

What Southgate is thinking now is that the Chinese team wants to continue to consume. English fans immediately booed to put pressure on the Chinese team, but Chinese fans cheered to fight against the English team's booed!

After 5 minutes of the game, the Chinese team kept falling in the backcourt, and even the winger retreated to the depth of the backcourt to assist in passing. The English striker and Ali were fooled and Southgate couldn't sit still.

He knew that Situ Yunbing was spending time and this battle with a certain gap in strength. England definitely did not want to enter overtime, nor did they want to hand over their fate to the penalty shootout. You should know that the history of England's penalty shootout is absolutely dark.

Southgate made a gesture on the sidelines, ordering the team to press the whole game!

He believes that the team can do better than Mexico in the pressing game, because the rhythm in the Premier League has always been a battle for every inch of land!

Anyway, the English team does not want to let the Chinese team waste time. If they are really defeated by the Chinese team in the tug-of-war, they will be convinced. However, if the Chinese team spends time like this, whether they fall before the penalty shootout or are eventually sneak attacked and lost the ball by the Chinese team, the English team will definitely not accept it.

After the Three Lions generals on the field received Southgate's order, they quickly launched a full-game pressing tactic against the Chinese team.

In the 8th minute of the game, the Chinese team finally launched a fast attack from the backcourt. From the beginning of the game to the present, the Chinese team's ball possession rate is 100%!

English players have never even encountered a ball!

When Sterling pressed against Li Lei, Li Lei passed the ball diagonally to Huang Bozhou, who took the initiative to run to meet him. Ali followed closely behind, and Huang Bozhou made a short pass in front with one kick.

Zhao Fenghua, who was pulling the side, sent out diagonally without waiting for Barkley to approach the ground.

The football rolled to the left side of the midfield. Luo Cheng quickly pushed forward after receiving the ball. Arnold decisively grabbed it. Luo Cheng quickly teleported the ball to find Wu Lei.

But Stones' initiative to step forward and gets stuck in the position, so that Wu Lei failed to stop the ball, and England intercepted the ball!

They finally met football!

The English fans in the stands were delighted, which made people feel weird.

It seems like England scored a goal!

After intercepting the ball, Stones quickly passed the ball to Delphi, which was the closest pass target to him.

Just as Delphi was holding the ball, unexpectedly someone came from the side to steal it!

Luo Xin!

He immediately changed the ball and completed dodging, but the next second he saw Zhao Fenghua flying tackle on him!

Delphi was unable to control the ball and changed direction, but was intercepted by Zhao Fenghua's fierce flying tackle!

Southgate suddenly changed his expression on the sidelines!

The Chinese team has no intention of being conservative at all!

When they start attacking, there is a wave of front-court counterattacks!

The front pressure of the formation is very obvious!

The football that Zhao Fenghua shoveled out was controlled by Wu Lei. Stones stepped forward and robbed it. Wu Lei knocked the ball backward and sent it to Luo Xin's running line.

When Roxin quickly dribbled forward to face Maguire, he could feel that Maguire would also choose to press fiercely!

This is the quarterfinals of the World Cup!

There is no such thing as politeness first and then soldiers!

The game starts with extremely aggressive defense!

So Luo Xin decisively sent a kick and pushed it straight to the ground!

The football rolled through the space between Maguire and Stones. Stones and Maguire stopped suddenly and suddenly saw Luo Cheng cutting in the middle!

This ball has basically penetrated the England team's defense!

Only Arnold is still fast following the defense!

Arnold and Situ Yunbing's eyes are the best right-back in the world football world today, which comes from his reading and organizational skills of the game.

Of course, he still has flaws in defense, but this does not affect his becoming the world's best right-back.

Arnold never let Luo Cheng get rid of it.

When Luo Cheng dribbled in the middle of the penalty area and turned to the right side of the penalty area, Arnold boldly chose to make a shovel!

He was not trying to intercept the ball, but just to destroy Luo Cheng's ball under his feet!

He succeeded!

The toes touched the ball first and touched the ball out of the baseline, while Luo Cheng kicked him one step later and then tripped to the ground.

All Chinese fans were making noises to put pressure on the referee!

Penalty!

However, the referee did not whistle, and Chinese fans are looking forward to a var reminding the referee to have a major controversy!

However, the Chinese team was ready to take a corner kick but could not wait for the prompt from var.

It seems that Arnold did not make a foul on this ball.

Southgate let out a deep breath on the sidelines, which really made his scalp numb just now!

The Chinese team suddenly formed a threatening offensive!
Chapter completed!
