Argentina was lagging behind, but the fans in the stands were still cheering for Argentina, while the English fans cheered happily for every attack of the team.
In their opinion, the England team was beating the Argentina team hard and just had a little bit of luck.
The goalposts and crossbars can save Argentina once or twice, but they will not forever be the patron saint of the Pampas eagle.
As long as Argentina does not take the initiative to restrict England and still gives its opponents space to counterattack, the threat of England's counterattack will always exist.
In the 43rd minute, Ortega did not perform well at the right forward position. He was very annoyed when the ball was repeatedly intercepted in double teams, so he withdrew, got the ball from behind, and then created a threat through dribbling.
This time he cut in directly from the front of the penalty area, trying to open up space in the ribs of England's defense.
He passed Lampard, but when he just passed Lampard, Ashley Cole rushed up from behind and intercepted the ball. The little donkey passed one, but still failed to pass the second one.
After Ashley Cole intercepted the ball, he couldn't find a passing route in front of him, so he boldly passed the ball across the right wing. It seemed to be no man's land, but Phil Neville rushed up to grab the ball before Solin.
He caught Xiaobei in front of him.
Beckham strode forward with the ball. As soon as he stepped forward, Lampard restrained himself. Immediately, Ashley Cole also had a clear idea and immediately rushed up.
Beckham dribbles the ball forward, and Simeone guards the midfielder area as if facing a formidable enemy. His enemy is not Beckham, but Scholes, but Beckham is dribbling the ball.
Placent moved laterally to the wing. He couldn't let Beckham pass the ball without interference. The opponent's Beckham arc was famous.
Scholes originally slowed down, but after observing the movement of other teammates, he moved forward decisively. Simeone knew that there was one less Plasentra in the back behind to defend Beckham, so he firmly pressed forward.
With Scholes.
The reason why Scholes moved forward decisively was because he saw McManaman's movement.
McManaman, who originally ran to the left side of the penalty area, suddenly ran towards the top of the key, while Irving, who was on the front line, pulled towards the back of the goal. It seemed that if Beckham came to pass around the back line, his head fell to the back.
With the ball, Irving has a great chance to shoot.
Pochettino gave up on McManaman and could only switch to man-to-man marking to keep up with Irving. Irving was restrained in the back area on the left side of the penalty area.
Beckham did not cross from the wing. England rarely crosses, especially in counterattacks. As for the diagonal overhead pass, even if it is initiated from the wing, it is not a cross in nature.
He controlled the ball, with Solin behind him and Placent in front. Solin, who was closest to him, was only two meters away from catching up with him. But Beckham passed the ball across the middle.
McManaman came to the center to get the ball in the front midfielder area. Simeone was guarding Scholes with Samuel. So he gave up on Scholes and pounced out to defend McManaman.
Man.
McManaman faced Simeone's charging posture and gently knocked the ball diagonally towards the arch of his foot.
Simone turned his head and looked around, his face full of shock and humiliation.
Ashley Cole, a full-back, not only rushed up, but also directly drove the ball forward into the penalty area, rushing through the space between Samuel and Pochettino, Owen and Scots
Erns' containment was in place, and the weakness of the three-back three's horizontal defensive area was once again exposed.
And what are Argentina's defenders doing?
Zanetti returned to defense from the wing, and it took another 2 seconds to share Pochettino's defensive pressure. Solin's side actually did not form a substantial defense against Beckham.
Ashley Cole's running route after stealing the ball is to rush directly to the penalty area, which shortens his route from the wing to the penalty area. Why does he move like this?
In addition to Aldrich's key arrangements, his front view is very broad!
After England counterattacked in depth, Argentina's overall formation became disjointed, and Ashley Cole was like a track and field athlete who had completed a straight sprint.
He actually stepped too far when receiving McManaman's pass, because he rushed up too fast. If there were four people in the Argentine back line at this time, and the distance was balanced, then as long as the central defender immediately moved laterally,
They were able to destroy England's attack, but they only had three people and were still restrained. Samuel moved laterally to destroy it and used a flying shovel, but the distance was still a bit far away, allowing Ashley Cole to break through first.
line of defense.
Ashley Cole, who rushed all the way to complete the 50-meter sprint, did not slow down until the last moment. He swung his left foot in a badass manner. No matter where the goalkeeper was, he blasted out with a kick!
This goal is very similar to Beckham's goal, except that Beckham is on the right side of the penalty area and Ashley Cole is on the left side. There is a rhythm pause when Beckham shoots, and Ashley Cole is like a gust of wind.
Passed by, rolled up the ball and blasted it towards the goal.
Cavaleiro did not make a save, and the ball flew past his head into the goal. He seemed to be unsteady, took two steps back to steady his body, and then lowered his head.
Who can block this ball? If you block it with your body, it's almost like being hit by a cannonball.
The Sapporo Dome Stadium is boiling again. Today England wears red jerseys, and most of the fans dye the stands red. Argentina's light blue and white colors are like sea water, and the stands are more like a boiling sea of blood!
Ashley Cole used too much force when shooting. He lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. However, he quickly got up and tried to lift the jersey with both hands. He probably still had some sense and stopped taking off the jersey.
Impulsive, he doesn't have Beckham's repressed need to be released. For him, it's the time to be proud and to laugh loudly and celebrate wildly.
So, he smiled, with his eyes closed and his mouth open, shaking his head and running around the court intoxicatedly, letting his teammates chase each other, and letting the fans be infected by his happiness and craziness, stimulated, and completely forget himself.
"Ashley Cole! This is England's biggest discovery in this game. He assisted Beckham, and now he scored another goal to help England lead the archrival Argentina 2:0. This is a player trained by Millwall.
An excellent full-back who will be the Three Lions' reliable winger in the next ten years!"
"Wow, Hall has really studied Argentina thoroughly. McManaman and Ashley Cole are undoubtedly the stars of today's game!"
Bielsa's face turned pale, and before half-time, the team fell behind by two goals.
Aldrich finally smiled, clenched his hands and raised his head above his head. Jenson rushed out from behind and bent down to hug his legs and lift him up.
Change the front and show off your power again!
This time it was not about disrupting the opponent's defense, but a direct fatal blow!
Simeone also lowered his head. He couldn't understand. Bielsa's tactical design was fascinating in the description. It seemed that it could crush all defenses and resist all attacks. However, apart from trying their luck on the outside, they seemed to be attacking England's opponents.
Apart from two long-range shots, there was not a single shot in the penalty area! Not even one!
On the contrary, every time the England team attacked, there was a chilling threat. He had to admit that if it weren't for luck, the England team would have led 3:0 in the first half.
Another person who also held his forehead and felt uneasy was Zanetti.
When Ortega was intercepted, he immediately wanted to help defend the center, but when he saw that Lampard was not moving, he gave up the idea and went back along the wing. After all, McManaman
Over there, just halfway through the run, he remembered that Ashley Cole had not come up along the wing before. He went to guard the wing because of the influence of traditional thinking. When he looked again, he found that Ashley Cole had not come up along the wing.
I soared all the way up from the left side of the center. If I tried to block it, I would definitely have no chance.
England's counterattack is impossible to guard against!
Argentina has Argentina's pursuit, and the England team also has England's pursuit.
Different paths lead to the same goal, and victory is the eternal standard.
Argentina wants to play romantic and gorgeous offensive football. England seems to have lowered its pursuit and did not pursue offensive football. However, on the basis of pragmatism, they still pursue it, which is to perform defensive counterattacks to the extreme and play magical counterattacks.
!
In one and a half years, from a fixed template routine design, the England team has become mature, with a balanced offensive and defensive ability. On this basis, it can also pursue strange moves such as changing forwards. This is the progress of the Three Lions.
It also made the England national team in the Aldridge era special. The England team in the traditional impression has long been changed beyond recognition.
When the first half ended, Aldridge turned directly and walked into the players' tunnel. The England team's players high-fived each other and walked towards the players' tunnel while communicating with each other in high spirits. However, the Argentina players looked preoccupied and their morale was a bit low.
Well, in the first half of the game, they were very depressed and felt that their offense had no chance.
Bielsa is also a little distracted at the moment. How to adjust in the second half?
The fans wearing red England jerseys in the stands were ecstatic. They applauded and hugged each other. The red color was connected together and dyed like a raging flame. (To be continued...)
