Sapporo Dome Stadium.

With Argentina trailing by the scoreline, the fans in the stands were still cheering for Argentina, and the England fans were cheerfully cheering for every attack of the team.

In their opinion, England are beating Argentina and are just a little bit of luck.

The goalposts, the crossbars, were able to save Argentina once, twice, but not forever as the patron saint of the Pampas Eagles.

As long as Argentina do not take the initiative to limit England and are still giving their opponents space to counter-attack, the counter-attacking threat of England will always be there.

In the 43rd minute, Ortega was annoyed by the poor play in the right forward position, repeatedly being cut off in the bag, so he withdrew to take the ball from behind and then put on a guò plate to create a threat.

This time he was cutting straight inside on the edge of the box and trying to tear open the gap from the ribs of the England defence.

He shook off Frank Lampard, but just past Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole sprinted up from behind to cut the ball off, and the little donkey passed one but couldn't get past the second.

Ashley Cole couldn't find a way to pass the ball in front of him after breaking the ball, so he boldly crossed to the right flank, seemingly no man's land, but Phil Neville rushed up to grab the ball before Sorin and poked the ball to Beck in front of him.

Becky strode forward with the ball, and when he got on, Lampard held it down, and then Ashley Cole also thought clearly and immediately rushed up.

Beckham dribbled forward, Simeone guarded the back area like a big enemy, his enemy was not Becky, it was Scholes, but Beckham was dribbling the ball.

Plasente moved laterally down the flank, and he couldn't let Beckham pass the ball uninterrupted. The opponent's Pei arc is famous.

Scholes slowed down. But I watched the movements of my other teammates. He stepped forward decisively, and Simeone, knowing that there was one less Placentra at back to defend Becky, firmly followed Scholes.

Scholes stepped forward because he saw McManaman's movement.

McManaman, who had run to the left side of the penalty area, suddenly ran to the top of the arc, and Owen, who was on the front line, pulled towards the back of the goal.

Pochettino gave up on McManaman and could only switch markers to keep up with Owen. Caught by Owen in the area of the back post on the left side of the penalty area.

Beckham did not make a cross on the wing, England rarely played crosses, especially on the counter-attack, and as for the diagonal overhead straight stopper, even if it was initiated from the wing, it was not essentially a cross.

He holds the ball, with Thorin behind him and Placente in front, and Sorin is the closest to him, just two meters away from catching up with him. But Becky crossed the ball across the middle.

McManaman picked up the ball in the midfield area in the middle of the pitch, and Simeone was playing with Samuel to defend Paul Scholes. So he gave up on Scholes and pounced to defend McManaman.

McManaman faced Simeone's rushing stance and slammed the ball diagonally towards the arch of his foot.

Simeone turned his head to look at him, stunned and humiliated.

Ashley Cole, a full-back, not only rushed up, but also drove straight forward into the box, rushing through the gap between Samuel and Pochettino, Owen and Paul Scholes were very well contained, and the weakness of the lateral defensive area of the back three was once again exposed.

And what are Argentina's defenders doing?

Zanetti returned from the wing and it took another two seconds to share the pressure on Pochettino, while Sorin's side didn't actually form a physical defense against Becky.

Ashley Cole's run from the break was straight into the box, which shortened his path from the wing to into the box, why did he run so much?

In addition to Aldrich's key arrangement, he has a very wide vision ahead!

Argentina's overall formation was disjointed as soon as England counter-attacked and Ashley Cole was like a track and field runner who had completed a straight sprint.

If there were four Argentine defenders at this time, and the distance was balanced, then as long as the central defenders immediately moved laterally, they could destroy England's attack, but they only had three of them, and they were still pinned, Samuel moved laterally to destroy, using a flying tackle, but it was still a little far away, allowing Ashley Cole to break through the defense first.

Ashley Cole, who rushed all the way up to complete the 50-meter sprint, did not slow down until the last shot, picked up his left foot and was a bit of a bastard, no matter where his goalkeeper was, and shot out with a blast!

This goal is very similar to Becky's goal, except that Beckham is on the right side of the penalty area, Ashley Cole is on the left, and Beckham has a rhythm pause when shooting, Ashley Cole is a gust of wind blowing, directly rolling the ball towards the goal.

Caballero didn't make a save, the ball flew past his head and into the back of the net, and he seemed to be unsteady, taking two steps back to stabilize himself before lowering his head.

Who can stop this ball? If you really block it with your body, it is equivalent to being hit by a shell.

The Sapporo Dome Stadium is boiling again, today England is wearing a red jersey, and most of the fans dye the stands red, while Argentina's light blue and white is like sea water, and the stands are more like a boiling sea of blood!

Ashley Cole shot too hard, the whole person lost his center of gravity and slipped to the ground, but he quickly got up, both hands wanted to lift the jersey, probably still sane, and stopped the urge to take off the jersey, he did not have the depression of Xiaobei to release, for him, it was the moment to be proud, to laugh and celebrate wildly.

So, he smiled, closed his eyes and opened his mouth to shake his head and run around the field in a daze, letting his teammates chase him one by one, so that the fans were infected by his happiness and madness, stimulated, and completely forgetful.

"Ashley Cole! This was England's biggest discovery of the game, he assisted David Beckham, and now he has scored another goal to help England lead their arch-rivals Argentina 2-0, this is an excellent full-back produced by Millwall, and a reliable wing main force for the Three Lions in the next decade! ”

"Woohoo, Hall has really studied Argentina thoroughly, McManaman and Ashley Cole are undoubtedly the stars of today's game!"

Bielsa was bloodless and two goals behind before half-time.

Aldrich finally smiled at the corners of his lips and raised his hands into fists above his head, and Jenson rushed out from behind, bent down and hugged his legs to lift him up.

Change the edge, and get the power again!

This time, instead of messing up the opponent's defense, it was a direct blow to kill!

Simeone also lowered his head, he couldn't understand that Bielsa's tactical design was fascinating in the depiction, as if he could crush a qiē defense and resist a qiē attack, but they didn't have a single shot in the penalty area except for two long-range shots that seemed to be trying their luck on the periphery towards England's goal! Not once!

On the contrary, England attacked every time with a chilling threat, and he had to admit that if it weren't for luck, England would have led 3-0 in the first half.

Also holding his forehead and feeling uneasy is Zanetti.

When he was cut off at Ortega, he wanted to help defend the middle as soon as possible, but when he saw that Lampard didn't move, he dispelled this thought again, and turned back along the wing, after all, McManaman was over there, only halfway through the run, he remembered that Ashley Cole had not come along the side road before, he went to defend the wing, it was the traditional thinking that was influencing, and when he looked at it again, he found that Ashley Cole rushed all the way up from the left side of the center, and then wanted to block, there was definitely no chance.

England's counterattack is unstoppable!

Argentina has Argentina's pursuit, and England has England's pursuit.

Victory is the eternal criterion.

Argentina wants to play romantic and gorgeous offensive football, England seems to have lowered the pursuit and did not pursue offensive football, but on the basis of pragmatism, they still have a pursuit, that is, to interpret the defensive counterattack to the extreme and play a magical defensive counterattack!

In a year and a half, from a fixed template routine design, the England team has become mature, the offensive and defensive balance is free, and on this basis, it can also pursue such a miracle as a striker, which is the progress of the Three Lions, and also makes the England national team in the Aldridge era special, and the traditional impression of the England team has long been unrecognizable.

When the first half ended, Aldridge turned his head directly into the players' tunnel, the players of the England team high-fived each other, and walked to the players' tunnel while communicating with each other, while the Argentine players looked preoccupied, morale was a little low, no way, in the first half of the game, they were very depressed, feeling that there was no chance to attack.

Bielsa is also a little distracted at the moment, how to adjust in the second half?

The fans in the red England jerseys in the stands were ecstatic, applauding and hugging each other, and the red was connected and dyed like a monstrous flame. (To be continued......)
