While Lineker was interacting with the two commentators, England's attack suddenly swept in again!
The Swedish team attacked just after half-time. Ibrahimovic handed the ball to Ljungberg. Lampard and Ljungberg were entangled, and then Ashley Cole successfully intercepted the ball. Immediately afterwards, the England team's counterattack quickly moved towards
Push forward...
This time it was Scholes who organized the attack in the middle. After exchanging passes with Irving, Scholes suddenly passed the ball back. Beckham, who came to the frontcourt, had almost no threat in the first half hour, and the Swedish team
They were a little lax, and their defensive focus shifted to Scholes and Irving in the middle. As soon as Beckham came up to catch the ball, someone rushed to defend him. However, Beckham made a long pass without hesitation!
The Bayern Arc was not played on the wing, nor in the dangerous zone of the 40-yard penalty area, but it still allowed the ball to draw an arc in the sky, bypassing the Swedish team's midfielder and back line.
This arc is extremely weird, because at first it looked like it was heading towards the goal, and it was obviously higher, but halfway through the flight, it felt like it was spinning from right to left and falling rapidly!
The Swedish team was shocked. This kind of ball would interfere with the defensive awareness of the players. For example, Melberg, who originally thought that the ball had nothing to do with him and that the ball would not fall into his defensive area, waited for him to react and then looked back at the landing point.
Suddenly, I broke out in a cold sweat.
McManaman is on the running route to grab the point!
The ball would land on the left side of the top corner of the small penalty area. Beckham volleyed half a moon, cutting open the two defensive lines of the Swedish team's defender and midfielder!
McManaman's speed has reached the extreme, but he knows that a slight difference can make a huge difference!
At the last moment, he made a move that he was not good at. He made a flying tackle!
The desperate "Poodle" touched the ball with his toes and made a roaring sound. However, the ball did not fly to the goal as expected, but flew out of the baseline. It was a shot he tried his best to complete.
It just looks more like a defender's clearance.
McManaman got up from the ground, and when he still lowered his head, he heard the cheers and applause of the England fans in the stands. He raised his head, gave a thumbs up in the direction of Beckham, and then walked faster and faster, starting to trot.
Pull back to defend.
When Aldridge saw this scene, he had expectations in his heart, but when he found that the ball did not go in or even fly to the goal, he was ambitious and full of confidence. He was not disappointed at all.
England, getting better and better!
"McManaman missed a good opportunity in the penalty area. This may not be a chance for him, let alone a good one, but this cooperation made our eyes shine. Beckham's pass passed Sweden
People are scared!”
The Swedes were indeed a little panicked.
The current England team and the team in the first 25 minutes of the game are simply two different teams!
Perhaps the first 25 minutes of the game made the Swedish team truly believe that England is nothing more than that, not worth mentioning, but what they should remember more is: a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and England is always the Three Lions who are stronger than Sweden on paper.
Legion!
England began to launch a continuous threatening attack, which originated from the initiative to speed up the tempo and the players' technical ability. After the combination of changing rhythm and changes in offensive methods, the Swedish team was unable to react for a while.
Sitting on the coaching bench, Lagerback quickly made tactical changes and adjustments, was passed on by another coach Schedberg, and strengthened the execution of tactics by shouting from the sidelines.
England continued to attack forward. The three points of McManaman, Scholes, and Owen cooperated with each other with both tacit understanding and strength, which brought their characteristics into full play. Scholes organized and coordinated in series, and McManaman
Mann attacks, and Owen looks for the fighter's movement and speed.
After the Swedish team adjusted, they strengthened their close pressure on Scholes and McManaman, and began to give England free kicks in the frontcourt.
When Beckham's scimitar kick almost penetrated the Swedish team's door, Lagerback and Sködberg were both shocked.
They suddenly thought that before the game, Aldridge said that the England team would work hard on set pieces!
Especially when the second free kick was taken, Beckham did not choose to attack the goal, but passed the ball around the back point, and Ferdinand almost scored with a header. The two coaches of the Swedish team felt the suffocating pressure.
My mind also started to get a little confused.
England are also working hard to find changes in set pieces.
Change is the key to success.
Regardless of the increase in the pace of the game, the individual technical performance of the players, or the set-piece tactics, these are all sources of change.
The changes in England's offense are constantly breaking out, like a budding flower in full bloom!
Starting from Owen's shot in the 28th minute, and for 10 minutes thereafter, England had an absolute advantage on the field and continued to attack, making the Swedish team's defense crumbling. With positional battles, counterattacks, and set pieces, the threat continued to increase.
The Swedish team could not predict what kind of changes the English team could make, and there were signs of being overwhelmed by the passive defense.
They can only keep shrinking their formation and compressing the space. They were conservative at the beginning, but now they are on the verge of extreme defense!
In the 40th minute, the cold-faced Aldridge continued to gesture to the court. The first half will end in 5 minutes. Taking advantage of this wave of momentum, England must seize the opportunity!
In this wave of offensive frenzy, England always starts from the midfield, and no matter how the players perform, their offense is straight forward, and then inserts, dribbling breakthroughs, one-foot ball transfer or penetration are the main methods.
After Aldridge made the gesture, the England team once again launched a new wave of offensive changes in the 42nd minute of the attack, pushing the offensive frenzy during this period to its peak!
Just after Larson launched the offensive, he handed the ball to Ibrahimovic and when he went forward again, Ibrahimovic was interfered by Bart, and Scholes came back to defend in front of him. His choice to play the ball again was too much.
Obviously, it was meant to be passed to Ljungberg, but Lampard cut it off midway!
Lampard stole the ball and passed it across to the other side, quickly transferring the ball to Beckham.
As soon as Beckham passed the halfway line, Irving, who was at the front, had already started running. Irving ran forward. The Swedish team's defense suddenly became nervous. They were afraid that Beckham would make a precise long pass. Then Irving took the opportunity to break through the city gate.
.
So the Swedish team's back line was retreating, but Beckham slightly tilted the ball and landed at the feet of McManaman. Behind McManaman was the Swedish team's midfielder, and Skol
Scholes didn't move at first, but when McManaman started dribbling laterally from left to right, Scholes moved forward decisively!
The England team has always attacked in a straight line. This time, the ball was at the feet of McManaman. He dribbled the ball laterally to the right from the left area of the front court, which was similar to a parallel dribbling movement.
This caught the Swedish players off guard.
He stepped forward to grab the ball, but he didn't dare. Scholes moved forward, and Owen was also in front.
McManaman skillfully dribbled from left to right, disrupting the Swedish team's defense, speeding up in front of Alexanderson, and then suddenly changed direction when Milder came up to intercept, causing Milder to miss the interception.
The curly-haired McManaman went diagonally across the horizontal half of the court. The Swedish defense completely listed him as its number one enemy!
At this time, McManaman's eyes were firm, his mind was very clear, and he understood what he was doing.
This is the World Cup, the stage for players’ dreams!
He knew that without Aldrich, he wouldn't be here.
In the past national team, his duties were very simple. He defended on the left side, attacked, defended, attacked, and provided shells to the two forwards in the middle. Then, he was criticized and criticized, and then competed with the wide midfielders.
Lost to players far less talented than him.
It was Aldrich who gave him new life.
It was Aldrich who activated his talent.
Never, never before Aldridge, he had never had the feeling of playing for the national team now, truly freely and freely galloping on this green field!
He seemed to have been given a pair of wings!
The negative influence of Hot Brother once made him nervous and a little ashamed in front of Aldridge. In addition to the Millwall players, his teammates in the national team, including him, would respectfully call Coach Aldridge.
However, McManaman hides something deep in his heart that he may never say.
How much I want, how much I want, how much I want to call you: Boss!
If I could live again, I would be willing to go through fire and water for you, I would be willing to listen to your teachings, and I would be willing to form a master-disciple relationship with you!
I, Steve McManaman, am 30 this year! The only thing that can let me release so much is the current World Cup. This is my last chance!
If you treat me as a national scholar, I will repay you as a national scholar!
"Wow! McManaman took over from Beckham and started directly from the left position of the center of the midfield. He dribbled very quickly, and the combination of man and ball was perfect. He accelerated past Alexander Sanderson and used the change of rhythm to change direction and break through.
He came to the right position in front of the penalty area and looked down. The Swedish team's defense players were rushing toward him, forming a double-team circle for him!"
McManaman came to the penalty area and faced a dense encirclement. He stopped running, stopped the ball, and then passed the ball across the defense from Alexander Sanderson.
At this second, the corner of McManaman's mouth raised slightly, as if he was remembering Aldridge holding a tactical board in training to explain the chain reactions of offensive changes.
Owen and Scholes pushed forward, pressing the center backs, forcing them to move forward. McManaman's horizontal dribbling from left to right disrupted the opponent's defense.
When his pass passed, although the Swedish team still had two central defenders guarding the center, they did not dare to come out immediately. It was not until they saw a figure on the passing line approaching that Melberg gave up.
Scholes rushed forward.
But he was slow. The rushing Lampard led the ball forward and rushed forward. The difference in speed allowed him to directly break through Melberg's defense. Irving blocked Anderson and Scholes blocked Lucic. If
Lampard turned his head and looked to the right, and saw McManaman standing in the circle surrounded by the Swedish team's two midfielders and full-back Edman. He attracted and contained the large team!
Lampard's single-handed attack was complete, and he almost didn't look at goalkeeper Hedmann's position, just like a tiger blasting a heavy shot!
The moment the ball went out, the ginger head's eyes widened slightly, Irving clenched his fists and raised them, Hedman was stunned, but McManaman showed a smile and wanted to turn his head to look at Aldridge on the sidelines, who was around him.
, all the players of the Swedish team looked solemn, panicked, or as frightened as if they had seen a ghost!
This goal will definitely be scored! (To be continued...)
