Chapter 656 Ula!

Like Xiao Ming, the perfect debut was also Abang Raho.

No one could have thought that this young player who had only played professional football for more than a year at the age of 21 could be selected for the England national team. After he was selected for the national team, not many people thought that he could be on the roster. When he sat on the bench, not many people thought that he could play - however, at this time, he was surrounded by a group of old players from the national team on the court, smiling like a flower.

After scoring the goal, Gerald hugged Abanglaho, and the other players also came over to congratulate Abanglaho - after all, this goal was originally a big one, belonged to Abanglaho, if Simunic hadn't committed a foul behind him...

If England fans were still worried about being overtaken by the opponent in the past three to two, the four to two score, the advantage of one more player on the field and the time left for only ten minutes left, make them think that there will be no more suspense in the game - if Croatia, who is one less, can score three goals in England in the remaining ten minutes, then all England players can commit suicide.

"Although it was only a dozen days, Xiao did bring huge changes to the English national team... At least he did not choose to target one point conservatively, but boldly adopted offensive tactics to fight the opponent to score goals - this is the confidence that a strong team should have! At the same time, his adjustment during the break also played a huge role. The people were still those people, but immediately overtook the score. We saw Xiao Ming's outstanding substitution again in the national team game. The young Abanglaho immediately created a penalty for England when he came on the court! At Leiden East, Xiao Ming has proved his ability. Now I just hope that it would be great if Xiao Ming could lead the English national team for more than ten years like he led Leiden East!" Motson said excitedly.

In just one game, Xiao Ming used his past myths and realistic actions to make everyone think that the wise move of the FA to choose him to be the head coach of the England national team. However, at this time, Xiao Ming did not have time to consider these things. After working as a coach for more than ten years, he had already passed the age of being proud of his victory after he was sure to win.

Bilic used the remaining two substitutions, Plashic replaced Kranica in the midfield, Rakitic replaced Olic who scored a goal and began to launch a crazy counterattack, Xiao Ming replaced Barry with Hargreaves, and at the same time replaced Rooney who also scored a goal with James Beatty.

The England forward team on the court has completely replaced a group of people. The strong Beatty and the extremely fast Abanglaho became the standard one-high and one-fast combination. In addition to the recycling Beckham, England has launched a defensive counterattack. This decisive and flexible substitution has once again aroused the praise of many people - in fact, this is not a great substitution. However, at this time, no matter what Xiao Ming does, he will be considered a wise move and a decisive move...

Sometimes fame also plays a huge role.

Although the frontcourt is now a typical miscellaneous player, Manchester United's Beatty, Aston Villa's Abonraho, Leiden Oriental's Gerald and Beckham, Newcastle's Patton, Manchester United's Hargreaves - among them, Gerald and Beckham have only been domestic league teammates for a few months, Hargreaves has just returned to the Premier League. Their cooperation is not a tacit understanding, and they are not even skilled.

However, this flaw is no longer considered a weakness under the boring tactics that England plays now. Now England’s tactic is to recover defense. Two defensive players at the front of the penalty area run desperately to disrupt the opponent’s offensive rhythm. When they get the ball in the backcourt, they immediately have a big foot, allowing the frontcourt to fight and grab it quickly. The effect of this tactic is not very good, but now they can exert their advantage of two goals to the extreme.

One less opponent can also make England less defensive, but instead launches a sweep in the midfield, sending straight passes and long passes when you have the chance, playing behind the Croatian defense line where only three defenders are left...

"One more, another one is the first in the group!"

Xiao Ming shook his fists and roared in the coach's seat. At the end of the score, England would be tied with Croatia, with three more goals. However, the two sides tied four to four. Croatia had the advantage of away goals, and England was still the second in the group.

It was enough to meet the qualifying line before, but now, this can no longer satisfy the appetites of Xiao Ming and England!

If you want to take it, you should get the first place in the group! This is Xiao Ming’s idea. He did not tell the players on the court, but the players also thought so.

Croatia did not think about defending to keep the first place in the group. What they wanted was to make this breath. As for first or second, there was nothing to care about.

In this case, the pace of the game between the two sides not only did not slow down because the game was about to reach the finish line, but instead began to play faster.

After storming the opponent's attack, England launched a counterattack. Although the frontcourt combination was temporarily pieced together, and without Barry's adhesive, it was difficult to play the short pass organization in the first half to cooperate with the offense. However, the most basic offensive framework is still there - Beckham runs out of the open space, his teammates pass the ball, and the forwards in the penalty area respond.

Beckham's two consecutive crosses caused great trouble to the opponent's defense line. Once, Beatty grabbed the first landing point and headed the ball and was almost blocked by Pretikosa. Another time, Gerald inserted the header in the back row and rushed to the top, slightly above the crossbar.

Croatia, which had suppressed England for a period of time, was slowly suppressed by England. After all, there was one person missing on them. Serner returned to the right-back position, and Joel Luca began to play the central defender instead, which made their defense line still complete, but the strength of the midfield was greatly weakened.

But they didn't fall too much, with two midfielders defending, Beckham on the wing, Gerald sprinting back and forth - England lacked a player who could organize.

Xiao Ming shook his head with some regret. It would be difficult to score again in this situation. Although he won the game and entered the finals of the European Championship, it was a bit unpleasant to be the second place...

Xiao Ming naturally didn't simply convert the game and thought that if the first half of the game didn't appear, it would be four to one. He was just a little regretful. However, when the whole game reached the 89th minute, the players on the court brought him a huge surprise.

After Kerr forced a breakthrough on the left, he created a corner kick. Almost all of the English players rushed into the opponent's penalty area. A Patton and a goalkeeper Green were left behind in the backcourt. Cole was running back. Both central defenders went up, and even Daniel ran up...

At this time of the game, the mentality of the English players has completely relaxed. Anyway, even if the opponent counterattacks, they will still win, and they can still enter the finals of the European Championships by entering two. It would be better to put a big push on the offensive. If they enter another one, they will be the first in the group...

This is just a false reputation, but after playing very irritated over the past year, even a group with a false reputation is enough to make English players want to pursue it.

This is an opportunity to prove themselves.

The Croatian players basically all returned to defense, and the penalty area was boiling like a pot of boiled dumplings.

Beckham put the ball on his feet several times before straightening up to look at the situation in the penalty area. He frowned. The situation in the penalty area was so chaotic that he couldn't see where his teammates were.

At this moment, Ferdinand rushed from the middle to the front point to ask for the ball, and Beckham immediately flew up and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Ferdinand jumped up at the front point, but Joel Luca's strong body pressed against him from behind. Ferdinand's jump slowed down a little under the interference of Joel Luca, but under his restraint, Joel Luca could not jump either. The ball flew over the heads of both of them.

Originally, Beckham passed the ball at the front point. One of his characteristics was that it would fall rapidly after flying for a period of time. Ferdinand and Joel Luca at the front point could not reach the ball, and the ball immediately flew into the penalty area, and then there was a chaos in the penalty area!

At the same time, at least four or five legs kicked towards the ball. I don’t know who was the first to hit the ball in the melee. The ball flew towards the goal and was blocked by Nick Kovac, who was guarding the goal. Next, when the Croatian captain was preparing to clear the ball with his big feet, he kicked in the air. The ball rolled backwards in the melee and was submerged in the crowd.

A second later, a forest of arms raised in the stands behind the Croatian goal!

The ball rolled into the goal and hit the net. Of course, they were the first to see it!

Daniel rolled and crawled out of the crowd, rushed to the England coaching seat with his hands high. The white England home uniform set off the red captain's armband on his arm was so conspicuous.

In the chaos just now, Daniel didn't know who got elbowed. Just when he was a little annoyed and was about to settle the score, he saw the ball rolling in front of him. Daniel, who had no time to think, kicked it up and kicked the ball straight into the goal...

This is Daniel's first goal in his eight-year national team career. He originally scored not many goals. He has scored less than one goal in Leiden East for so many years. In the national team, he is more in defensive tasks and has fewer opportunities to participate in offense. Even he himself did not expect that in the first game of wearing the national team captain's armband, he broke his record of zero goals in the national team...

"Boss, I scored a goal!" Daniel jumped on Xiao Ming and shouted excitedly. Poor Xiao Ming had been like this before by Rooney, but now Daniel had been like this again. Xiao Ming felt that his bones were almost broken with a click...

"Okay, Daniel, do you remember my rules at the club?"

After hearing Xiao Ming say this, Daniel let go of his hand - Leiden Oriental Club has regulations that you should not hug the boss because you are too excited after scoring the goal, and the violator will be fined - this is the rule formulated by Xiao Ming himself...

"Then you can punish me for the boss." Daniel said.

Xiao Ming smiled: "Go up to the competition!"

"The fifth goal! England is now ranked first in the group! After losing the game against Russia, I am afraid that the most optimistic person would not think of this result! England could not even have the fate in its own hands! And now, they can enter next year's European Championship as the first in the group! We have to admit that some coaches have a halo! We cannot say that it was because Xiao Ming took office that Russia lost to Israel and Croatia lost to Macedonia. But no matter what, being able to defeat a strong team like Croatia at a big score of 5-2 at home is enough to prove his excellence, not to mention that he has only been given a dozen days of time! Now we can look forward to it. Perhaps in next year's European Championship, we can look forward to the first European Cup champion of the England national team. With Xiao, there will be victory and there will be championships!"

Amid Motson's passionate voice, the last few minutes passed in a blink of an eye. With one person missing in succession of goals and no physical rest, Croatia was really unable to launch an attack, and Bilic could only shake his head helplessly and admit his failure.

The stoppage time is not long, and the score gap between the two sides is too big, so there is no need to spend a little more stoppage time.

So after two minutes of stoppage time, the referee on duty blew the whistle to the end of the game!

Five to two! England, who is at home, announced their entry into the European Championship with such a big score, as the first place in the group!

"Congratulations to England! Thank Xiao! Thank you Leiden East!" Motson was already a little incoherent, but most people knew what he wanted to express - five goals in this game were all related to Leiden East - Leiden East's captain Daniel assisted the first goal and directly scored the fifth goal, Leiden East's Beckham scored the second goal and assisted the third goal, and Leiden East's Gerald scored the fourth goal - now no one is dissatisfied with Xiao Ming's reuse of Leiden's system, their performance is enough to make the most stubborn people speechless.

At the same time, the two players who played for the England national team for the first time in this game performed well enough. Patton's excellent running and fierce interception in the midfield have already allowed everyone to see his excellence, and Abang Lajo is a highlight. Barry, who was entrusted by Xiao Ming as the core task of the midfield organization, also performed well. Before he left the court, he instigated three of the first four goals, which is enough to be amazed. The ending in the middle was just Xiao Ming's tactical adjustment.

"So we have such an excellent group of players." Hiller sighed. This sentence was enough to make McLaren feel ashamed. In the same hand, Xiao Ming even lacked Carrick and Irving, but he played even better than him. Perhaps this is the difference between a top coach and an average coach.

After the game, Xiao Ming raised his hands and posed for a look, which made the reporters get addicted to filming and then put down his hands and walked towards Bilic.

"Beautiful job, man, to be honest, you almost forced me to a dead end." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Bilic glanced at Xiao Ming with a strange look. The arrogance that Xiao Ming showed before the start of the game made him deeply remembered. He originally thought that Xiao Ming would become more arrogant after winning such a big victory, but he did not expect that he would become so humble...

"Do you think every coach and every team deserves me to put smoke bombs before the game?" Xiao Ming blinked at him happily: "To be honest, I'm very happy to see a guy of the same year as me who can get on the same high stage."

Bilic took a deep breath and then laughed.

"I'm glad you think so. I hope we will meet in the European Cup, and I won't make so many mistakes at that time."

"The team I led would not be like this at that time. There is still half a year left, which is enough for me to adjust."

After saying this, Xiao Ming laughed, let go of his hand, then turned around and walked towards the English players who rushed up to surround him and then raised him up to throw him up.

After winning such a game that was almost escaping from death, no English player felt he was dissatisfied with Xiao Ming.

Bilic smiled and also walked towards his players who ended up with a little dejected dejected ending.

"Don't be depressed...Don't forget, we've entered the finals of the European Championship! Get up and have a good rest for a night, and then we go home... Oh, by the way, Vederland, Luca, Ivika, Nico...you don't need to go home, because you're going to compete in the Premier League soon."

Bilic's words made the Croatian players, who had already lost five goals away from home and lost two consecutive games in the last two games, couldn't help but laugh. The head coach's relaxed smile made them feel that yes, there was nothing to be sad. This game was just training, and they also caused enough trouble for England, which was enough.

"The boss is better than the boss." Joel Luca said secretly to Modric. The boss he said was naturally Xiao Ming, and the boss was Bilic.

Modric nodded, his eyes drifted to the center of the field, where his boss, his opponent in this game, was thrown into the sky one after another under the siege of England players.

"I envy the captain and the others. I can still be directed by the boss in the national team." Modric suddenly said in a daze.

At this time, Xiao Ming, who was thrown into the sky again, opened his arms and shouted in the drizzle and wind that poured into his mouth: "Wula!"
