816 Curly dog with wings
When Lineker interacted with the two commentators, the England team's attack suddenly swept in!
Sweden attacked just after half-time, Ibrahimovic split the ball to Ljungberg, Frank Lampard tangled with Ljungberg, and then Ashley Cole was able to steal it, and then England's counter-attack was swiftly pushed forward.
This time it was Scholes who organized an attack in the middle, and after exchanging passes with Owen once, Scholes suddenly passed the ball back again, and Xiaobei, who came to the front, was almost no threat in the first half hour, and the Swedish team was a little lax, and their defensive focus shifted to the middle of Scholes, Owen's side, and at this time, Xiaobei just came up to catch the ball, and someone rushed over to defend in front, however, Xiaobei did not hesitate to make a long pass!
Belle's arc wasn't on the flanks or in the 40-yard danger zone of the penalty area, but it still allowed the ball to arc through the sky, like breaking through the sky, bypassing Sweden's midfield and back line.
This arc is extremely weird, because at first I looked at it, I felt like I was heading towards the goal, and it was obviously high, but halfway through, I felt that it was spinning from right to left, and it fell rapidly!
The Swedish team was shocked, this kind of ball can interfere with the players' defensive awareness, such as Melberg, who originally thought that it had nothing to do with him and the ball would not fall into his defensive responsibility area, when he reacted and looked back at the landing point, he was shocked into a cold sweat.
McManaman is on the running line to grab points!
This ball will fall on the left side of the top corner of the small penalty area, and Xiaobei Half Moon volleyed, cutting open the two defensive lines of the Swedish team's defender and back!
McManaman was at the limit of speed, but he knew it was a fraction of a second. The difference between the abyss!
Grab a last-minute point. He made moves that he wasn't good at. Fly and shoot!
The desperate "curly dog", his toes touched the ball, making a rumbling sound, the ball, but did not fly to the goal as expected, but flew out of the bottom line, which was the shot he tried his best to complete. But it looks more like a defender's clearance.
McManaman got up from the ground, still with his head down, and when 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 Becky, and then walked faster and faster, trotted up, and withdrew to defend.
Aldridge saw this scene, although he also had expectations in his heart, but found that the ball did not go in. When he wasn't even flying towards goal, he was full of ambition and confidence. Not disappointed.
England is getting better!
'McManaman missed a good chance in the box, which may not be a chance for him, let alone a good one, but it was a combination that made our eyes shine and Beckham's pass scared the Swedes!'
The Swedes were indeed a little panicked.
England now and the team in the first 25 minutes of the game, it's almost two teams!
Maybe the first 25 minutes of the game made the Swedish team really think that England is nothing more than that, not worth mentioning, but what they should remember more is that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and England is always the Three Lions stronger than Sweden on paper!
England began to attack with a constant threat, thanks to the initiative to increase the tempo and the technical ability of the players, and after a combination of change of tempo and change of attacking methods, Sweden were a little unresponsive for a while.
Lagerbeck, who was sitting in the dugout, quickly made a tactical change, with another coach Schoedberg passing on the pitch and shouting from the sidelines to strengthen the tactical execution.
England continued to attack forward, McManaman, Scholes, and Owen had both tacit understanding and strength in the cooperation of the three points, giving full play to their characteristics, Scholes organized and dispatched tandem, McManaman assaulted, and Owen looked for the running position and speed of the fighter.
After the adjustment, the Swedish team strengthened the close pressing of Scholes and McManaman, and began to give England free kicks in front.
When Becky nearly pierced the Swedish team with a full moon scimitar, Ragbeck and Schoderberry were shocked.
It occurred to them that before the game, Aldridge had said that England would work set-pieces!
Especially when the second free-kick, Becky did not choose to attack, but crossed around the back post, Ferdinand almost scored with a header, and the two Swedish managers felt the suffocating pressure.
The mind is also starting to get a little confused.
England are also looking for change from set-pieces.
Change, that's the key to success.
Regardless of the tempo of the game, the individual skills of the players, the set-piece tactics, these are the sources of change.
England's changes in the offensive are constantly exploding, as if a budding flower is in the process of blooming!
From Owen's shot in the 28th minute to the next 10 minutes, England dominated the field, constantly attacking, and the Swedish defense was shaky, and the threat of positional battles, counter-attacks, set-pieces, and threats was rising.
Sweden couldn't predict how England could play, and there were signs of being too quick to parry under the passive defence.
They can only keep shrinking the formation, constantly compressing the space, they were conservative at the beginning, and now, they are on the verge of extreme defense!
In the 40th minute, the cold-faced Aldridge continued to gesture to the field, and the first half will be over in 5 minutes, taking advantage of this wave of momentum, England must seize the opportunity!
In this wave of attacking frenzy, England always start from the midfield, and then no matter how the players play, their attack is straight forward, and then plug in, dribble to break through, and move or penetrate the ball with one kick as the main means.
And after Aldridge made a gesture, the England team once again played a new wave of offensive changes in the 42nd minute attack, pushing the offensive frenzy of this time period to the peak!
Just after Larsson instigated the offensive and handed the ball to Ibrahimovic at half-time, when he went forward again, Ibrahimovic was interfered with by Bart, and Scholes ran back in front of him, and his choice to play the ball again was too obvious, it was to pass to Ljungberg, but it was cut off directly by Lampard!
Frank Lampard broke the ball and crossed to the other side and quickly deflected the ball to Becky.
Beckham just crossed the halfway line, and Owen, who was at the front, had already started to run, and Owen ran forward. The Swedish backline suddenly tensed. I'm afraid that Xiaobei will make a precise long pass. Then Owen seized the opportunity to break through the gates.
So the Swedish team's back line was retreating, but Becky gently picked the ball diagonally and landed at the feet of McManaman, behind McManaman was the Swedish team's back line, Scholes didn't move at first, but when McManaman began to dribble horizontally from left to right, Scholes decisively stepped forward!
England has always played in a straight line, this time. The ball was at McManaman's feet, and he dribbled sideways to the right in the left area of the front court, resembling a parallel dribble.
This caught the Swedish players off guard.
stepped forward to grab it, didn't dare, Scholes stepped forward, and Owen was also in front.
McManaman expertly dribbled from left to right, disrupting the Swedish defence, speeding sideways in front of Alexanderson before abruptly changing direction when Mild came up to intercept and let Mild's interception miss. McManaman, with curly hair, slanted across the sideways half. Completely let the Swedish defense list him as the number one enemy!
At this time, McManaman's eyes were determined, but his mind was very clear, and he understood what he was doing.
This is the World Cup, the stage of the players' dreams!
He knew he wouldn't be here without Aldrich.
In the past national team, his duties were simple, to defend on the left wing, to attack, to defend, to attack, to feed the middle of the two strikers, and then, criticized, criticized, and then lost in the competition for the wing-back to players who were far less talented than him.
It was Aldrich who gave him a new lease of life.
It was Aldrich who activated his talent.
Never, never, before Aldrich, he never felt like playing for the national team now, really free, to his heart's content, to gallop on this green field!
He seems to have been planted with a pair of wings!
He was both nervous and a little ashamed of Aldridge's negative influence, and in addition to Millwall's players, his teammates in the national team, including him, would respectfully call Coach Aldridge.
But McManaman had something in his heart that he might never say.
How I want, how I want, how I want to call you: Boss!
If I can live again, I am willing to go to the soup for you, I am willing to listen to your teachings, and I am willing to form a mentor-apprentice relationship with you!
I, Steve McManaman, am 30 years old! The only thing that can let me release so much is the current World Cup, this is my last chance!
If you treat him as a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman!
“WOW! McManaman picked up Beckham from the left side of the middle of the midfield to start directly, he dribbled at great speed, the combination of man and ball was perfect, accelerated past Alexanderson, and used the change of tempo to break through Mild, he came to the right position in front of the penalty area, overlooked, the Swedish backline players were rushing towards him, forming a bag circle for him! ”
McManaman came to the penalty area and was confronted with a dense encirclement, he stopped running, stopped the ball, and then crossed the ball past Alexanderson in the middle of the defence.
At this second, the corners of McManaman's mouth lifted slightly, as if he remembered Aldridge, who was holding a tactical board in training and explaining the chain reaction of offensive changes.
Owen and Scholes stepped forward, pressing the centre-backs and forcing them unable to get forward, and McManaman's lateral dribbling from left to right disrupted the opposition's defence.
And when his pass passed, although the Swedish team still had two central defenders guarding the middle, they did not dare to go out at the first time, until they saw a figure in the passing line, Melberg gave up Scholes and rushed forward.
But he was slow, Frank Lampard, who rushed up, led the ball forward, and the poor tempo of the acceleration allowed him to break through Melberg's defense directly, Owen blocked Anderson, Scholes blocked Lucic, if Lampard turns his head to look to the right, he will see McManaman standing in the circle of Sweden's two midfielders and full-back Edelman, he attracts and holds back the big team!
Frank Lampard has made a single move, barely looking at goalkeeper Heideman's position, like a tiger blasting out a heavy cannon!
When the ball went out, Ginger's eyes widened slightly, Owen clenched his fists and was raised, Heideman was dumbfounded, but McManaman showed a smile, wanting to turn his head to look at Aldridge on the sidelines, around him, all the players of the Swedish team looked solemn or panicked, or frightened like a ghost!
This goal must be scored! (To be continued......)
