"!" I was about to have a chat with Beckham to get closer to the pillar of England! Unexpectedly, before this idea started, the other party was angry at my previous unreasonableness.
Run! He patted the back of his head speechlessly. Being disturbed by Beckham, Li Yi had no intention of continuing to be in a daze. He hastily tidied his coat, and Li Yi also walked towards the hotel where the players were staying.\nbsp;
"Hello to all viewers around the world, today, the focus of England vs Croatia is brought to you by your old friend Mike Donnell.
Well, get up, I am very lucky to be selected to commentate on this game live! But I think the audience friends are definitely not sitting in front of the TV to listen to my nonsense! So, I won’t talk too much about this!
Since the game only starts in a few minutes, I would like to introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides.
Today, Croatia is playing away from home. Although it is an away game, they do not mean to be polite! Judging from their starting lineup, they are going to have a big fight with England.
Well, there is one person in Croatia's starting lineup that I have to say a few words about. This person is their sudden emergence as No. 21 this year, Luka Modric, a super midfield master who is only 22 years old.
Thinking of him, maybe most of the people here didn't know who he was in 2018, but I think this year, as long as fans who care about the Premier League, they will be familiar with him!
You know, Luca-Lee-Gareth, these three are known as the most threatening frontcourt trident in the Premier League this year!
Of course, Luca is not the only one in the trident today. As the best player in the Premier League, Lee was promoted to the England national team by McLaren before this game!
Let us wait and see how well these two teammates who choose a team to kill can perform in the game!
Next, let's take a look at the star-studded England.
Today, McLaren still didn't bring us any passion, a meaningless 4-4-2. To be honest, McLaren couldn't even match the aggressiveness of Croatia in the away game!
Goalkeeper: No. 1 James.
4 defenders: left back No. 3 Ashley Cole, center back No. 5 Terry, No. 6 Rio Ferdinand, right back No. 2 Gary Neville.
Midfielder: Gerrard in the defensive midfield, Scholes on the left, Beckham on the right, Lampard in the forward position.
2 forwards: Owen and Rooney are still the two strongest strikers in England!
Hey, yes, the current England team, from striker to defense, except for the goalkeeper, has the most awesome configuration in the world! As an Englishman, I am almost surprised that McLaren can bring the team to this level.
I couldn't help but give him my sincere greetings!
Well, I saw players from both sides have already entered the field!
Let's cheer for England on the field and Estonia in the other game!"
This game takes place in November, when winter has begun in England.
Although he was wrapped in a thick coat, sitting on the bench and enjoying the cool breeze, Li Yi still felt cold to his bones.
Leaning slightly to the side where Phil Neville was sitting, Li Yi chatted with the other party without anything to say.
As for the field, today, the goal was not the goal! England, who had to win this game, naturally took control of the game from the very beginning.
However, there was one person at the scene who knew that England was playing lively at the beginning of the game and had a great advantage, but it wouldn't take long before they were about to face a devastating disaster.
As for who this person is, Li Yi will tell you - who else could he be?
Sure enough, in this life, although the England lineup has the x factor of Li Yi, because Li Yi did not play, it is impossible to bring any changes to this game. At least for now, Croatia is still playing the same game as reality.
At 23 minutes, Modric took the lead in breaking the deadlock!
Come on, England goalkeeper James has an unshirkable responsibility for conceding this goal!
Seeing Modric hit a shot from 30 meters away that was not really a threat, James made a mistake that even amateur goalkeepers often make, and let the ball pass under his arm and into the goal!
Li Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Nah! This isn't collecting dirty money!"
What all the fans couldn't have expected today is that this conceded goal was far from the end of their nightmare, it was just the beginning!
10 minutes later, it was Modric who showed off his power again! After attracting four England defenders to double-team, the Magic Flute sent a deadly through ball to help the team's winger Olic score. The score on the field, unknowingly,
Was rewritten by Croatia 2-0!
As for Croatia's opponent, England, as soon as the opponent's second goal was scored, yes, they were already pushed to the edge of the cliff. After an hour, it would be their doom!
However, just like this, Croatia still won’t accept it!
I don’t know if it was because of the two consecutive goals conceded, especially the first one that shouldn’t have been conceded, that the England players on the field were all gone. Less than 5 minutes had passed since the second goal conceded.
, they almost let the Croats stab themselves for the third time!
It was Modric again. Near the center circle, after a series of short passes with his teammates, Modric successfully broke through to the edge of the England penalty area with the ball.
Then, almost exactly like the second goal, after the England defense couldn't help but resort to double-teaming, the Magic Flute was very subtle and handed the ball to Olic on the right again.
This is the second solo shot in this game. Perhaps because he did not expect that this opportunity would come so easily, Olic had an unnecessary pause when receiving the ball!
In the end, it was Olic's pause that gave England a chance to survive!
When time was scarce, Ashley Cole, who was at the peak of his career, showed his level. At the moment Olic adjusted his back shot, he used his toes to slightly change the direction of the ball. In the end, the ball was forced
It hit the top edge of the crossbar of England's goal and popped out of the bottom line!
"Huh!" Witnessing James transforming into a spectator again, watching the opponent shoot off without making any reaction, McLaren, who was sitting on the sidelines, was so angry that he broke a water bottle!
Goalkeeper! Goalkeeper! After Seaman retired, this position is really a permanent injury to England!
No less than 5 candidates have been replaced before and after, but to be honest, no one is worthy of England's status!
Looking at James who was sleepwalking on the court today, looking at the substitute goalkeeper on the bench, McLaren looked up to the sky and sighed!
However, just when McLaren was sighing on the sidelines, James, who was on the court, just like his previous performance, just to slap McLaren, made a god-level save!
In the previous attack, although it was very difficult to determine whether Ashley Cole touched the ball when he blocked Olic's shot, the referee of this game still made a very accurate penalty and gave Croatia a
Corner kick.
And this time the corner kick was just a hair away, just a hair away, and England conceded the ball again.
At that time, it was Modric who took a corner kick, and Robert Kovac, who inserted himself into the England penalty area, jumped up high in the middle and sent a powerful header towards the goal.
Unexpectedly, just when Kovac was about to celebrate after heading the ball and flying in the air, his shot, which was almost impossible to be blocked by the goalkeeper, was blocked by James, who turned into a superman, at the last second before crossing the goal line.
