At half-time, Scolari did not make any major changes to the team's lineup or tactics in view of Portugal's huge dominance on the pitch, but made some detailed arrangements in terms of defending high balls. In his plan, pressing at the back and creating an offside tactic will be the main defensive means for Portugal to prevent England from hitting the ball directly behind him in the second half. Such a defensive tactic may be risky, but given that England have only Rooney as the frontline arrow, it is not a correct one.

Lao Lei has no opinion on these. During this time, he was already aware of the rift and conflict between himself and Scolari. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation of the World Cup, as long as Scolari's tactics are not very different from what he thinks, he will accept the Brazilian coach's suggestion. In fact, he originally disapproved of the tactic of creating offside, not because he was worried that Rooney could suddenly break out.

Rather, the fear is that if England are replaced by the tall striker Crouch in the second half, this offside tactic will be almost useless, because England will only choose to play Crouch as a safe high point, and let Rooney swim around him wantonly, looking for opportunities. In this way, the existence of offside tactics seems to be somewhat superfluous.

However, considering the reason why England should not deploy troops in the second half, Lao Lei temporarily accepted Scolari's tactical arrangement, thinking that if he saw the wrong opportunity, he would take the initiative to adjust and modify it. As for the reason why Lao Lei is sure that England will not immediately adjust in the second half, it is also very simple, that is, Eriksen, an old pervert, in his eyes, does not have the courage and courage at all.

Otherwise. England's performance in recent tournaments will not be so weak. Although they can advance to the knockout round every time. But when I thought of their lineup, there was even a final. Even the results and resume that did not score in the semi-finals are in itself the biggest doubts and denials of Eriksen as the head coach of this team.

After figuring out this, Lao Lei completely relaxed in the locker room at halftime, and didn't think about anything anymore, but just quietly cultivated his strength. The madness in the final stage of the first half, and the fierce battles with various English midfielders, Rao was a little unable to slow down for a while. After all, although his physical fitness is strong, he does not have the blessing of the devil's flesh and blood people. As a mortal in the flesh, he naturally can't reach the point of being so beastly and so overwhelming.

With such a careful rest, the 15-minute time passed quickly. When Lao Lei and his teammates returned to the court, the court had a completely new look, at least the fan stands. To take the most obvious example, England fans at this time were completely free of the anxiety and restlessness of the end of the first half, and some confidence and arrogance returned to their chests. Throwing away the disadvantages on the field, the situation of only one goal behind does make them have the confidence to do so. So believed.

And the English players are clearly in the same mood as their fans. I don't know what Eriksen said at halftime, anyway, when Lao Lei saw them, they already had the same sharpness and morale as in the first half.

Learn smart! Three minutes after the start of the second half. Lao Lei had this idea in his heart. Apparently no longer being paranoid about attacking from the ground, and looking for a more efficient style of play with direct high ball strikes, England has made a lot of progress in attack. Such a remarkable resurgence is a phenomenon. Not only did the English fans in the stands swell in morale, but even the English players on the pitch felt like they had found their backbone. Morale has become stronger.

However, it is still too tender. After feeling a wave of optimism in the English. Lao Lei couldn't help but feel a little disdainful and disapproving in his heart, it was just that there was an improvement. In Ray's mind, although the English have an advantage in playing high balls, they are by no means to the point where they can turn the whole situation around. The reason is very simple, Lao Lei and his teammates have pinched the death hole of the England captain's pass, that is, the long pass.

Under the tight pressing of his own side and effective frontcourt, Lao Lei did not think that England could send many effective long balls. You must know that there is a gap between heaven and earth between the big feet that are driven in a hurry and the long transmission of the eight classics. Considering that Rooney is fighting alone on the front line, Lao Lei believes that the current Englishman's long pass and rush cannot form a continuous and effective offensive at all. Therefore, this kind of intermittent offensive, if you want to break the door of Portugal, you can only see how much the old man of God loves Rooney, at least Lao Lei thinks so and believes so.

However, Lao Lei didn't expect that his predictions and ideas were only half right, because Beckham suddenly stood up and disrupted Lao Lei's layout. Although it is not a trouble that can turn things around, it does make Lao Lei and Portugal feel uncomfortable.

In the pressing, sending a precise long pass may be regarded as an accident. But what if this man could send three or four kicks in a row, Old Ray had to change his opinion on Beckham again. Beckham and Vanney are equal to goals, and Lao Lei has a new understanding of what Manchester United fans once said. A king of the forbidden area, a master of long passes, these two together, it is indeed not a matter of 1 plus 1 greater than 3, if there is an effective tactical system to cooperate, then Lao Lei couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Thinking of this, Old Ray's position began to move closer to the right side of England, which was significantly more violent and effective than its left side. Then, Ray gradually shifted more of his attention to Beckham, placing him as a threat to Gerrard.

In the 51st minute of the second half, Beckham, who was near the halfway line, received a pass from the back again, and then, without waiting for more adjustments, he immediately opened his right leg and made a long pass. It's just that this time he didn't succeed. Old Ray suddenly struck out in the air, and when Beckham just turned around, he immediately made an accurate and ferocious sliding tackle. Broke the ball off the sideline.

If the long pass is where Beckham is alone in football, then his foot skills and dribbling skills. It is the biggest obstacle that limits him from becoming a midfield master, and this is also the death hole that Lao Ray is ready to slam Beckham. In fact, this is not Beckham's problem alone. Almost all of England's midfielders have this problem, and a certain amount of work is necessary to be a dominant midfielder. The reason why England have a first-class midfielder but don't have a midfield master is also because of that. Gascoigne had the opportunity to change that, becoming a special case in England's midfield, but alas, he ruined himself.

To get back to the point, after feeling the special care of Lao Lei, Beckham obviously felt that it was much more difficult for him to send a long pass. But England's heartthrob captain. did not stop cowardly, but broke out with a stronger fighting spirit. Or rather, he had to burst out because it was his duty as England captain. At this moment, he is not the handsome guy who drives women around the world crazy, but just a dutiful player, a dutiful captain.

As England stepped up their attack, Portugal's attacking efforts were intensifying. Do your best before Portugal extend the score. Desperately trying to equalise, that's what Beckham is playing with in mind now. He knows that this may be his last World Cup, so his old boy's heart is really only beating for England at this moment! Just beating for that damn football!!

Beckham's resistance was fierce. But it didn't have much effect, at least that's what Lao Lei thought. With him dominant in all respects, it was too easy for Ray to try to seal Beckham. But. But he didn't have the slightest contempt or slackness, because Beckham's eyes made him afraid to do so. He's so hot. The red one is like a heroic warrior's eyes. Lao Lei is very familiar, so he doesn't dare! Never despise any player who is like a warrior, this is what Lao Lei has always warned himself.

Lao Lei, who treated it with all his might, formed a fierce confrontation with Beckham again in the 57th minute of the second half, a direct physical confrontation. And because of this confrontation, Beckham seems to have injured his right knee. Looking at the England players who were coming towards him, and listening to the boos of England in his ears, Lao Lei couldn't help but think of the scene just now.

Beckham made a mistake in stopping the ball and the ball was stopped. Although he himself gritted his teeth and immediately rushed up, wanting to regain control of the football, Lao Lei had also keenly seized this opportunity. A menacing big sliding shovel went straight over, looking like it was going to ruin the football.

Generally speaking, only those marginal players with a strong style of play will fight with Lao Lei for this ball at this moment, after all, looking at Lao Lei's fierce and unrelenting posture, it is too easy to get injured. Ordinary stars will choose to take the initiative to retreat from this kind of opportunity, and will not let it go. Although there are people like Keane, this is only a minority after all, and Beckham is not a player of Keane's type at all.

But this time, the heartthrob used his practical actions to make everyone's hearts tug at the woman he was fascinated by. Because they saw that the handsome man who fascinated them was actually showing a hideous state that they had never had before, with a fighting momentum, he directly rushed to the football with a big sliding shovel.

As a result, due to the closer distance, although Beckham was the first to touch the football, he was hit by the old thunder who then slid sharply over. Needless to say, with Lao Lei's physical strength and momentum, Beckham is definitely uncomfortable this time. Even if Lao Lei has already collected the spikes this time, the huge force is enough for Beckham to drink a pot.

Although Lao Lei has taken the initiative to stop his feet, the English side does not buy it. Because judging from the way Beckham walked after getting up, the heartthrob definitely had an injury to his right knee, and this is England's undisputed captain.

Therefore, no matter how the Portuguese players intercepted and the referee on duty dissuaded, the angry English fans all looked unwilling to give up, and kept trying to rush to Lao Lei to find trouble.

At the same time, England fans once again sang the ballad of 'Old Ray's stick is not big enough', in retaliation for Old Ray's "barbaric" and "rude" behavior.

Boos, singing, invective, and angry reprimands, under the mix of these voices, the scene was once again a mess, and the chaos was unbearable.

This should have been the scene that Lao Lei enjoyed the most, but at this moment, his mind was no longer on this at all, and he was staring at Beckham.

Seeing him covering his right knee and resolutely rejecting Eriksen's substitution proposal, seeing him gritting his teeth and enduring the uncomfortable stiff expression, Lao Lei suddenly had a respect for Beckham in his heart that he had never felt before.

But at the same time, a fierce fighting spirit also rose.

Sending off these veterans who are about to bid farewell to the World Cup stage naturally has to be done in the most tragic and heroic way! Zidane, Ronaldo, Inzaghi, these are all lists secretly drawn up by Lao Lei's heart.

At this moment, there is a new name to be added to it, and that is the heartthrob, David. David Beckham!

At the moment, there is nothing pejorative about this!! (To be continued......)
