After Frank Lampard broke the deadlock on the pitch, England took advantage of the victory, scoring one goal after another, and Croatia could barely resist England's ferocious attack.
In the 10th minute, it was Walcott's pass from the left that Ismael headed wide from 12 yards in front of goal.
Just 2 minutes later, Wayne Rooney crossed back from the right, and Michael? Johnson suddenly stepped forward and hit the crossbar with a cold shot from the edge of the box, which was very regrettable and failed to score, but also shocked everyone into a cold sweat.
In the 17th minute, Maika? Richards' cross from the right was headed wide by Ismael and Wayne Rooney half-turned and volleyed just over the crossbar in front of goal, missing a great chance to extend the lead.
But just one minute later, England was back on the offensive and Michael? Johnson split the ball on the right side, and after Walcott, who switched positions with Rooney, took the ball, he suddenly made a long diagonal pass, and the ball came directly to the back point, and Gerrard, who was inserted in the back row, scored with a close-range header, and broke through Croatia's goal again, rewriting the score to 2:0!
Seeing England's offensive in full swing, Croatia had to choose to retreat, just trying to stabilize its formation first.
After that, England also slowed down the offensive, after all, it is impossible for a team to maintain a fierce offensive for 90 minutes, and one piece and one relaxation is king, so Michael? Johnson cleverly slowed down the attack.
In the 28th minute, England got a free kick opportunity, 40 meters from the goal, Michael? Johnson's direct free-kick went around the wall but was saved by the goalkeeper.
In the 35th minute, Michael? Johnson played a pass to Steven Gerrard, who sent a pinpoint through ball from the edge of the box and Walcott's shot was saved by the goalkeeper.
England then created a couple of chances, but Croatia were on the defensive, tightening the three lines, and England wasted a few chances to end the first half 2-0.
In the second half, England still adopted the tactics of the first half and started the second half steadily.
Croatia was unusual, the second half was anti-guest-oriented, and they played very resolutely at the beginning, especially in the early stage, fighting fiercely in the midfield, England had to fall into passivity, and even made a few chances by Croatia, almost forming a goal, but fortunately, the double central defenders composed of Terry and Curtis performed well, and they were in danger many times.
Seeing Croatia attack more and more, Michael? Johnson knows this is not the way to go, and although he is a midfielder, with the support of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, his defensive responsibilities are not particularly heavy, allowing him to start preparing counter-attacks.
In the 59th minute, Gerrard used his body in the midfield, squeezed Rakitic, and cut off the ball. Johnson stepped forward, received the ball and cut straight forward, Michael? Johnson suddenly sent a ball over the top.
Ismail, a center forward who has always been doing interference tasks in the Croatian backline, inserted in an anti-offside position as if he understood it, grabbed the ball at the front of the penalty area, faced the squeeze of the retreating central defender Kolluka, and after a sudden emergency stop, he flexibly knocked the ball to the left with his right foot, and shot with his left foot.
Goalkeeper Renye was already halfway through the attack, he saw that Colluca was already in place, and originally wanted to return to the goal line, but seeing Colluka rushing too quickly and losing his position, he hesitated, and this hesitation made him only watch the ball, cross his head, and fall straight to the bottom of the net.
3:0!
Ismail excitedly rushed to the side of the pitch and jumped high, excitedly towards Michael, who sent him a precise long pass? Johnson, they've been very good at working together at the club, and now they're showing their power once again.
In this game, although Ismael was a tactical centre-forward, his performance was still remarkable, and if Rooney hadn't wasted a must-win goal, England would have scored again.
"Perhaps, he saw that Rooney couldn't score a goal, so he was in a hurry, so he simply chose to go on his own!" The narrator laughed and teased.
After a lively celebration, Ismail returned to the pitch and the game resumed.
England have once again played with momentum after this counterattack, Michael? Johnson controlled the pace of the game and commanded his teammates to press and play.
In the 64th minute, Michael? Johnson passed to the right, Rooney received the ball and crossed the bottom, and Gerrard, who was inserted in the back row, headed the goal again to rewrite the score to 4:0.
The goal was almost identical to the previous one, and it also exposed the lack of defensive quality in the Croatian backline, especially against England.
Just 5 minutes later, Maika? Richards dribbled forward with the ball on the right flank, and after combining with Wayne Rooney, he passed into the box, and Lampard shook his head to score his 20th goal for the national team, rewriting the score to 5-0!
Beckham made immediate substitutions, including Milner for Gerrard, Defoe for Ismael, and Gareth for Galles. Barry replaces Michael? Johnson.
When Michael? When Johnson left the pitch, all the England fans in the stadium gave the most enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Although the England midfielder did not score in this game, his performance on the pitch was almost amazing, and his appearance allowed Shuangde to exert his maximum attacking strength, allowing England's attacking ability to explode to the maximum.
5:0, plus the previous 8:0 against Andorra and 0:4 against Kazakhstan, the England national team has won three consecutive World Cup qualifiers, scored 17 goals without conceding half a goal, such an outstanding result is almost amazing.
When the game was over, Beckham happily walked onto the pitch and hugged the players one by one, even if Croatia fought back at the last moment, but England withstood the pressure well and guaranteed a complete victory in this game.
5:0, which was supposed to be a close match in everyone's minds, has now turned into a one-sided victory, and Croatia did not even have a few threatening shots on goal in the whole game.
The English fans in the stadium stood up one by one, constantly cheering and cheering, and even some fans were tearfully grateful to Beckham, they all deeply loved this national team, and hoped that Beckham could make the impossible task possible and bring LinkedIn Gran to the World Cup in South Africa!
Almost at the same time as the end of the game, there was an uplifting news at Wembley Stadium.
Ukraine, who challenged Belarus away, scored the winning goal in the 67th minute of the game by the Red Rebels veteran Hleb to help Belarus win 1:0 at home!
This suddenly turned the whole Wembley Stadium into a sea of joy, and everyone ignored the other game, Kazakhstan's 1-3 away win over Andorra, they just knew that England's World Cup road was one step closer.
A defeat for Ukraine and Croatia away from home, combined with their 2-2 draw in June, has further increased the odds of England.
According to the schedule, England will host Belarus on October 10, Ukraine will face Andorra away, England will face Ukraine away on October 14, and Croatia will play Kazakhstan away.
As long as England welcomes Belarus and Ukraine on the 15th, if they win both games, and Ukraine vs Andorra, or Croatia away against Kazakhstan, either of which is a draw or a loss, England will have a chance to qualify.
As things stand, England will have to do everything they can to finish second in the group if they want to qualify, so they will have to beat Belarus and Ukraine and wait for their opponents to make mistakes.
The current situation is still very passive for England, but Beckham's three consecutive wins have completely boosted England's morale, if he can really qualify for the group, even if he qualifies second in the group and participates in the play-offs, he will become the hero of England and the hero of the whole nation!
…………………… Beckham took part in a press conference after the match against Croatia, where he expressed his thoughts on the game and praised the players who did well in the game.
'Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have always been world-class stars, they showed a very good level of competition in this game, both scored two goals to help the team win against a strong Croatia, their quality was confirmed, and their performances proved once again that they can coexist!'
'I've always believed that Ismael is a phenomenal player, he's very strong, he's very physical, he's got that kind of scoring sense in the game, he's been aggressive in creating space for his team-mates, creating chances, he could have scored more goals himself, but he only scored one of them.
"I can't ask for more from Ismael, he has done more for the team than I can ask of him, and unfortunately, Wayne didn't seem to have shooting boots today, but I believe that in the next game, he will not live up to Ismail's trust!"
"Michael? Johnson excelled? Yes, in my mind, he should be our man of the match, he is the umbrella of our defence, he is also the initiator of the team's attack, he is very good, he has masterminded almost all the attacks and goals of the team, I think he is already the best playmaker in football today. ”
"Compared to Cesc Fabregas? Oh, please, don't embarrass me! Beckham politely declined, but still couldn't escape, and as seniors, everyone was eager to hear what he thought of the two Red Rebel juniors.
"There's no doubt that Cesc Fabregas is more delicate, Michael? Johnson is more physical, both players are excellent at reading the game and controlling the game, but unfortunately Cesc Fabregas is not a regular player in the Spanish national team, and I have always thought that he will be a powerful weapon in the Spanish national team's midfield, as evidenced by the European Championships. ”
In the process of Spain winning the Euro 08 Cup, Aragonés's use of Cesc Fabregas was a key point, but after Bosque came to power, although he had high hopes for Fabregas, he relied on the combination of Xavi and Iniesta, and relied on Senna or Alonso in the back, which made Fabregas lose the main position.
"A lot of people say I'm superstitious about the Red Rebels? When they were talking at the beginning, I refused to reply, because I knew that no matter how much I said, it was useless, it was a waste of saliva, and it was better to see the real chapter on the playing field, so now I can ask the other way around, even if I am superstitious about the Red Rebels, is it wrong? ”
"They play the most gorgeous football in the world, they have the most scientific system in the world, they are fully scientific and informatized, they try to introduce high technology into the club, they introduce the team, and in this regard, I think the Red Rebels have opened up a new line of football development."
"More and more technology is being integrated into sports, including the NBA, including cricket and so on, and now the World Professional Clubs League is putting pressure on UEFA and FIFA to use Hawkeye technology in the Champions League, which is a big step forward and a clear proof that the days when football was closed off from the world are over."
"Football is becoming more and more scientific, players need to eat healthily, train scientifically, clubs need to operate efficiently, scouting networks need to be laid out and integrated with the world, and managers should adopt and trust more technology, which I think is a kind of progress."
"In the past, we used to emphasize that new players in the development team had to shine their shoes for Big Brother, and I used to shine shoes, but now it's all about equality, so who can name a team in the dressing room that still has a shoeshine tradition?"
"What I want to say is that I am not superstitious about the Red Rebels, I just believe that the Red Rebels, as one of the strongest, most scientific and advanced teams in football today, are worthy of learning from other teams, including the England national team."
"Maradona's Argentina also transplanted the Red Rebel system, Dunga even came to Manchester in person, visited the Red Rebels, hoping to get help from the Red Rebels in terms of medical care and training, and Bosque too, all of this shows us that there is nothing wrong with believing in the Red Rebels!"
"Luckily, we have eight players from the Red Rebels in our national team, and they know everything more than anyone else, so I think it's going to be our biggest treasure trove!"
"And now, that sentence made many people feel funny, and even suspected that I was bragging, and now I am happy to say it to you again, friends from the news media, see you in South Africa!"
Beckham vented the resentment in his heart in one breath, and when everyone present was overwhelmed, he suddenly stood up, turned to his position, and caught all the reporters on the scene off guard.
But he's really enjoying it, at least for England, and Beckham is going to continue to use the media to put pressure on Croatia and Ukraine.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to create a topic at this time.
