Toshak believes he has found the key to beating England by finding a tactic to deal with England's 'double German midfield'. It's not exactly psychological warfare.

England have always been at the heart of the midfield, Steven Gerrard and Wood, and Fabio Capello's England were able to finish fourth in the World Cup in South Africa, largely thanks to the excellent performances of these two, especially George. Wood's outbursts one after another.

So everyone thinks that England can rise again because of these two people. As long as these two players are contained, then England will be no different from a normal strong team.

However, Toshak must not have imagined that Don did not arrange for "Shuangde" to play in this game. Steven Gerrard was told he would not start this game and his replacement was Wilshere, who was voted Arsenal's man of the match against Nottingham Forest last time out.

Gerrard didn't say anything about this decision and chose to accept it. His own performance in the last round of the league was very average, which he knows well. The manager didn't let him start, and he had nothing to say. He's not the kind of person who has to fight the manager if he doesn't start. After so many years in English football, no one has heard that Gerrard would have a conflict with the manager over whether he plays or not.

Liverpool's media didn't mess with Donn this time around. From now on, these pro-Liverpool journalists will have to accept the fact that Gerrard is getting old and his position in the national team is gradually faltering. He will cease to be the flag and symbol of England. Even if it's not Tony. Don Enlai coached, and this fact cannot be changed.

Done's change caught Wales off guard.

When Toshak saw in the dugout that it was Wilshere, not Gerrard, who was standing with Wood in midfield, he bowed his head and cursed.

Gareth. Bale didn't care if Gerrard played or not, and Toshak didn't arrange for him to mark Gerrard one-on-one, and Gerrard's absence had little impact on him.

The national anthems of both sides are being played on the live radio. I have just finished playing "The Land of My Predecessors" in Wales, and now I am playing "Save the Queen" in England.

Taking advantage of this time, Bale's eyes were fixed on Tony in the away team's dugout. Donn look.

After more than two months, he saw his mentor again. But he could only watch from afar, and he couldn't come forward to hug him.

After glancing at Don from a distance, he took his gaze back. He knows when it's and what's important.

His own teammate George at the club. Wood is in the queue next to him, and if nothing else, he will be tasked by the leader to guard Aron for this game. Ramsey. Wales relied on themselves and Ramsey, a full-back with a limited role and a limited threat. Ramsey, on the other hand, is a central midfielder, a playmaker and sometimes a finisher.

He understands the tactical thinking of the leader, and he can't let it go with such a figure, especially when Wales' attack is only his own flank as long as he watches him.

Ramsey is not yet an absolute mainstay at Arsenal and is more often a substitute in the same position due to Wilshere's presence, but he is still the undisputed core player in Wales.

Toshak's tactics in this game did not put their hopes on Ramsey. He knew George. Wood will certainly be assigned to mark Ramsey, so Ramsey's activity up front is only to attract the attention of the England defence, and Bale was promoted to the left midfield position by Toshak in this game, and the main attack will be launched from his wing.

Once the game began, Ramsey was quickly targeted by Wood.

His team lost to Arsenal in the league and he will not fall at the feet of an Arsenal player again in a national team game.

It didn't take long for Donn to see that Wales' attack was clearly skewed to their left, and he knew exactly what Bale's premise meant. Because he did it occasionally when he was in Forest.

Cardiff's Millennium Stadium is no stranger to players on both sides of the game. It was here that Donn's first championship trophy was won. So even though it's an away game, he has a good impression of the stadium. Thought the Millennium Course could bring him good luck.

In fact, he did have good luck.

At the beginning, while England had not yet adjusted, Wales did create some killing chances by taking advantage of their home turf. For example, in the 14th minute, Wood tripped Aaron Ramsey and Wales won a direct free-kick 27 metres from goal on the right side of the edge of the box.

The foul made Donn nervous, and he left his seat with his butt and walked to the sidelines, staring into the arena without blinking.

Bale came up to take the free-kick and there was a concerted shout from the stands at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium cheering for Bale.

England didn't dare to be careless, and they lined up a wall of six.

If they attack in sports warfare, England may still look a little proud and underestimated. But when it came to a dead ball and Wales won a direct free-kick up front, none of them dared to be careless. Because they all know how good the Wales' No.2 free-kick is.

Bale's free-kick went around the wall and goalkeeper Joe. The tips of Hart's fingers. However, the arc was too large, and the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the goalpost.

When the soccer ball grazed the side-netting, Donn even thought the soccer ball had gone in, which really scared him.

There were also loud cheers from the stands at the Millennium Stadium, but when they saw Bale raise his arms and not celebrate the goal, but hold his head in frustration, they realized that the football did not fly into the goal, and they collectively wasted an expression......

"Damn! Great opportunity! 'Toshak was disappointed that the goal didn't go in. He knows the gap between the two teams and if he can get ahead of England on his home turf, then the rest of the game will be easy.

Donn next door vs. assistant coach Dees. "There's a saying in China that 'if you don't die in a disaster, you will be blessed.'" Blessed are we. ”

※※※

The relieved England team then laid siege to the gates of Wales.

Wilshere doesn't have to think about the defense at all, and he can put all his energy into playmaking. As a result, England's attacking efficiency has improved a lot.

Any attacking midfielder who would want to partner with him is George. Wood. Because they have no worries at all, they can naturally perform at the highest level under the condition of no pressure.

"Wilshere's beautiful straight stopper...... Passed through two Welsh defenders...... It's a pity that Mitchel hit high! ”

"This time he personally dribbled the ball forward, beautiful! Shook over poor James. Collins! Shot!! Hennessey's brilliant save saves the Wales goal! ”

Toshak did make a meticulous plan for England's attack, although Wilshere's appearance was unexpected. However, the marking of several main players has not relaxed. England's attack thundered and rained.

In this way, Wales' self-confidence has risen, but it is in trouble. This is their home stadium after all, and the more than 60,000 Welsh fans in the stadium are cheering on their team.

Donn got up again from the dugout, walked to the sideline, whistled inside, and after catching Wood's attention, made a gesture to step forward.

Now that Wood doesn't need Donn to pull him to his side anymore, he knows exactly what to do in the attack.

He nodded.

So Don walked back and sat down.

※※※

In the 40th minute, England were awarded a corner. Two centre-backs John. Terry and Stephen. Taylor rushed to the Welsh goal, ready to fight for the top.

Bell noticed that Wood was dragging at the back, in the center circle. He was a little relieved.

He still remembers that one of Forest's many corner kick tactics in the past was to arrange for Wood to wait outside the penalty area, then the corner kick went directly to the top of the penalty arc, and then Wood received the ball and volleyed it to take advantage of the chaos.

Despite seeing Wood far from goal, Bale didn't completely let his guard down. He did not join his team-mates in the box to contain England's centre-backs. Instead, stay outside the top of the free throw arc, just in case.

Downing, who was in charge of taking the corner, raised his right hand and raised three fingers, which was their tactical code. Different gestures have different arrangements and everyone in the England team must know what tactics they correspond to.

After seeing him raise his hand, the Welsh goalmouth was even more chaotic, with players from both sides huddled together and tugging and pulling in corners that the referee couldn't see.

But Downing didn't drive the ball into the box. He passed directly to Wilshere, the little man in front of him, in the corner of the big box.

"Press out!" Wales Welsh Nation Wayne. Hennessey yelled and pushed the man in front of him out. He was worried that Wilshere would cross and so he had to create an offside position.

The players hurrahed and rushed out. Wilshere didn't get the ball in. Instead, he turned and kicked the ball diagonally behind him......

Bell once looked to the center circle and he noticed that Wood was gone!

"George. Woo-De!! ”

The narrator yelled.

The vanished Wood appeared in front of the Welsh forward defence. About thirty metres from goal, he received the ball from Wilshere and walked forward.

When Bale saw Wood, he didn't bother to remind his teammates and went up alone.

It's not often that you can go head-to-head with your captain in the official arena!

This was not the time to talk about club camaraderie, and Bale ran for Wood's legs to shovel fiercely.

Wood, of course, saw Bell's movements—he did it so obviously, rushing head-on, and if he couldn't see it, he was blind.

Instead of using a feint to shake Bale, Wood grabbed a long-range shot before Bale could kick him or kick the ball!

It's not a ready shot, but in soccer it's a shot that's several times better than a shot that takes a stance.

Because it is the instinctive reaction of man, in the heat of competition, the instinct of the body is more trustworthy than the complex and sophisticated brain.

With a muffled "bang", the football flew over Bale's head, and a gust of wind blew, and the grass clippings sprinkled on his face. He looked back at the ball and flew straight towards the Welsh goal.

Wood, who had completed the shot, landed a little embarrassed, and he made a dodge in the air, otherwise his knee would have hit Bale in the face, and the consequences would have been ...... But it's unimaginable.

The soccer ball that he shot vigorously was like a cannonball, and hit the target in front of him.

Ten rings!

Hennessey's save was slow in the face of this long-range shot. There were so many people in the penalty area, but no one touched the ball, and the football flew straight into the goal!

"George. Wood's signature long-range shot!! England took the lead towards the end of the first half! ”

Wood fell and lay next to Bell.

The two men looked at each other.

"You're too dangerous." Wood said to Bale, who then got up from the ground and waved his fist in celebration of his goal.

Bale lay on his back on the ground, watching countless feet appear and disappear from his sight, cheers from the English players ringing in his ears.

He exhaled, clenched his hands into fists, and grabbed a tuft of turf: "Damn, it's too weak......"

※※※

Don got up from his seat for the third time after seeing Wood score, his arms raised and Des beside him. Walker hugged in celebration. No matter what kind of game you play, it's a thing to celebrate to be able to score first and get ahead of your opponents.

After the break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Wales are still relying on Bale's side to attack. So Donn adjusted his countermeasures, and instead of strengthening the defense on the right side, he stepped up the attack. The intense defensive pressure forced Bale to cut back on the attack, and more often than not, he helped defenders from behind, looking more like a full-back than a wing-back.

Toshak was a little unhappy about this. But what can he do? England are attacking with all their might, so the players naturally have to stabilize their defence first.

It's a pity that they can't hold it ......

The race then went into England's orbit.

Ramsey was pestered by Wood, who still had the energy to step forward and get involved in the attack, and a long-range shot was enough to make the Welshman famous, not to mention that he also had excellent long balls. Wilshere and him, long and short, combined to make the Welsh team tired.

England scored again in the second half. The scorer was Theo Walcott, England were on the counter-attack, he dribbled the ball for more than 50 meters, and no one in Wales could catch up with him, and a group of people watched him go away, shaking past the goalkeeper and smashing the ball into the empty net.

Donn gave his opponents a vivid idea of the gap between them and England – the fifty metres Walcott galloped on.

The match ended with a score of 2-0 as England comfortably won Wales at the Millennium Stadium. Two wins from two games, level on six points with Denmark, but they have a better goal difference and are now top of the group.

Gareth. Bale played the whole game, and after the game he didn't exchange shirts with his opponents, but went straight to the away team's dugout.

Donn was celebrating the victory with his assistant coach at the time. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Boss."

He looked back and found that it was Bell, the little monkey soaked in sweat looked like it had just been fished out of the water, and the hairstyle that he always cared about the most was now clinging to his scalp, and there was no style at all.

"Gareth. You okay? Don laughed.

"It's not good at all, your team beat us." Bell pouted. At the same time he opened his arms. "Can I give you a hug?"

"Of course." Don also greeted him with open arms.

"That's it!" As he let go, Bell smiled at Donn. "Now I don't have to envy them anymore. Boss, why didn't Bentley come? ”

Don wondered why he asked the opposition players, but replied: "He's in average form, we have too many midfielders, so we didn't pick him." ”

Bell laughed happily when he heard the leader say this: "I have a reason to laugh at him when I go back!" ”

After saying that, he said to Donn, "Goodbye, chief. I need to go back over there......" He gestured to the pitch, looking a little lonely.

Donn touched his head, "Good job, Gareth." Aiming to lead Wales to the European Championships. ”

"We're in a group, the leader ......"

"The group runners-up with the best results can participate in the play-offs." Donn winked at Bell. "I hope to see you in Spain in two years' time, wearing the red Welsh shirt."

He held out his hand.

Bell high-fived him: "We'll go!" Turning around and running away, he shouted at Donne: "I will definitely go!" He clenched his fist and waved.

Walker asked: "Do you believe Wales could qualify?" There are still Denmark and Serbia in the same group. If Freddie hadn't retired, he might still be able to ......."

"It's always good to have hope." Donn went straight to the middle, he had to shake hands with the Wales manager.

※※※

Ramsey was looking for Wood to change shirts: 'Alright, George. You stared at me for ninety minutes, and I lost my temper at all. Come on, let's swap jerseys! What are you waiting for? Still thinking about the last round of the league? That's all I have to do with ......."

Wood then took off [***]'s shirt and handed it to Ramsey.

"Wow!" Ramsey took the shirt and exclaimed, "It's so heavy, it's all water!" Aren't you tired? ”

Wood ignored him and snatched Ramsey's shirt from his other hand and slung it over his shoulder.

"We'll see you in the league. Next time at our home stadium, we won't lose to you. Falling off the sentence, he turned and walked away.

Ramsey looked at his back and muttered, "This vengeance is careful!" ”

※※※

"Tony. Donn led LinkedIn Gran to win his second European Championship qualifier and England are currently top of the group with six goals in qualifying without conceding one. It looks like qualifying is not a problem, but the media in England must be starting to claim that England is the strongest team in history again, right? The Welsh TV announcer said with some sourness.

"Good luck to them."
