The first tumor in football

Chapter 139: A match with Song Wen!

"Hello, audience friends, with the referee's whistle, the game between the two sides has officially begun!"

"On the left side of the screen, attacking towards the right side, is Scotland, who are playing at home today, and on the right side of the screen, attacking towards the left side, is the Three Lions we are familiar with."

Celtic Park, Scotland.

A battle between the two teams with deep roots is about to break out.

At the beginning, the Scottish team was favored by the goddess of fate. They guessed the heads and tails of the coin correctly and got the right to kick off.

In fact, when a weak team faces a strong team, the right to kick off is more important to the weak team.

Because if they have the right to kick off, then at least in the first few minutes of the game, the weaker team can control the rhythm a little, and even disrupt the strong team's pre-match deployment.

But if the ball is in the hands of a strong team, it is very likely that they will launch a fierce attack right away.

Once a weak team is stunned in the first few minutes of the game, it has almost no hope of turning the tables.

After the kick-off, the Scottish players passed the ball back.

Facing the attacking England, they naturally chose a very conservative style of play and formation, and used a 5-4-1 formation.

The coach's tactics for their first ten minutes were very simple.

That's back foot.

Back and forth.

English players will inevitably choose a high-pressure style of play. In the first ten minutes, they will use back passes to control the rhythm while consuming the physical energy of the English players.

The Scottish coach's guess was not wrong. After seeing Scotland start to pass the ball back and forth in the midfield and backcourt, England really chose to press forward with a large force.

This made the coach standing on the sidelines smile, and he looked at England's head coach Southgate with contempt.

This guy is really lucky.

Southgate is undoubtedly the envy of many coaches.

In their opinion, for such a luxurious English team, even a pig would be able to do the job as the head coach.

The Scottish coach undoubtedly felt a certain sense of superiority when facing Southgate.

Despite the huge gap in the value of the players on both sides, he led the Scottish team to a draw with England away in the first half of the game.

Now that we are back at home, there may still be hope of winning.

In his opinion, all the credit lies in the coach's tactics.

Does Southgate understand tactics?

This old guy doesn't understand any tactics at all. He is just a tool to complete KPI.

Look at the Scottish players who are strictly and efficiently executing their tactical arrangements, and then look at the English players.

Although these players are worth a lot and are star players of their respective clubs, when they reach the national team, I am afraid that they can only display less than 80% of their actual strength.

And their kicking style was even more disorganized, looking like headless flies running around everywhere.

Although he only assigned his own players the task of passing the ball back, passing the ball back is also a technical job.

Before the game, he even gave the players special training on how to deal with the high-pressure defense of the English players.

Five minutes into the game, Scotland was still able to firmly control the ball.

On the other hand, England is still struggling to press the ball.

Robertson received a pass from his teammate on the wing.

According to the coach's arrangement, what he should do at this time is to wait for the English players to steal the ball, and then pass the ball back to the defender.

But at this time, he found that there seemed to be some loopholes in England's defense.

Perhaps it was because Scotland showed no offensiveness that made England's backline players a little careless.

They didn't even notice that they had missed out on defending Scotland's only forward.

Robertson is confident that he can accurately deliver the ball to the striker with his passing ability.

What’s more important is that the English players are all in very forward positions at this time.

Once you pass the ball, you can launch a sudden fast break.

But the problem is, if I do this, it would obviously go against the coach's tactics.

Delph was running slowly towards Robertson.

It can be seen that compared to the beginning of the game, Delph no longer has that momentum.

The English players obviously realized that Scotland had no intention of launching any offensive attempts.

After all, it had been five minutes and the ball hadn't even crossed the half court.

Therefore, Delph was not so aggressive when pressing.

In his opinion, when he ran over, Robertson would definitely kick the ball back to their backcourt.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to save some energy.

But it was precisely because Delph was not running actively that Robertson was given ample vision and opportunity to pass the ball.

Robertson knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, and with Klopp's words before the game still ringing in his ears, he finally chose to make a long pass to find the lone striker in front.

And he started running wildly on the side road.

Robertson's pass shocked everyone.

The England players were shocked at how they suddenly started attacking.

The Scottish players were shocked at how we suddenly started attacking?!
The Scottish coach was even more shocked, and his eyes changed when he looked at Robertson.

You have to know that when he first recruited Robertson into the national team, he was attracted by the fact that this guy was hardworking, honest, and could always perfectly execute the tasks assigned by the coach on the court.

Why did I suddenly get sick today?

It’s not that the Scottish coach is blind and doesn’t know that this is indeed an opportunity.

But he was more worried about the consequences if he didn't seize this opportunity.

Since they have chosen to attack, it is impossible for the forward to rush forward alone. Robertson has also followed.

When the other Scottish players saw their team start to attack, they naturally began to press forward.

If this goal had not been scored, England would have won the game instead.

The England team, which has flying players like Sterling and Song Wen, can be said to have taught the Scottish players what a true quick counterattack is.

Robertson was running wildly on the wing, and seemed to catch a glimpse of his coach's gaze on him out of the corner of his eye.

But at this moment, he no longer had the leisure time to pay attention to these things.

His pass accurately found the front of the striker.

But perhaps because the forward didn't expect that he would suddenly launch a fast break with a change of rhythm, he chose to pass the ball to him and even stood there in a daze for a moment at the first moment.

This caused him to start a little slowly!

Fortunately, Maguire, who was defending him, was also stunned for a moment, and coupled with Maguire's aircraft carrier turning speed, the two of them were almost running towards the ball side by side.

After all, this pass was made by Robertson with precise aim.

The ball drew a small arc in front of Maguire's eyes and just brushed past the tip of his shoe.

Scottish striker Amster, although started a little slowly, still managed to reach the ball.

But at this time, even if he reached the ball, it was obvious that he could not create a one-on-one situation.

Only by standing side by side with Maguire can you know how terrifying the power of this aircraft carrier is. Under Maguire's backlog, it was extremely difficult for Amster to hold the ball steadily and move forward, let alone run at a high speed and shoot.

On the other side, defender Stones has arrived.

With Maguire limiting Amster's speed, Stones, who came from the other side, was about to double-team Amster!

Just when Amster was about to lose the ball, he heard a familiar shout from his side.

"Hey! Here!!"

In the midst of his busy schedule, Amster turned his head and saw Robertson standing on the same line with him on the wing.

This made him a little surprised. When did Robertson run so fast? !

You know, Robertson's ability does not lie in physical fitness.

And when Robertson passed the ball to him just now, he was even still in the half court.

I didn't expect that he would catch up so quickly.

Although Amster was surprised, he did not hesitate at this moment and quickly passed the ball sideways.

Robertson on the right received the pass from Amster.

At this time, there was only one defender, Arnold, who was chasing hard beside Robertson.

Arnold obviously hasn't quite gotten into the game yet.

He didn't even realize Robertson's start at first.

By the time they reacted, the people had already rushed three miles away.

Fortunately, this guy was quite fast and managed to catch up with us.

But even so, he had no way to block Robertson's attack from the front, and could only try to push Robertson from the side to make Robertson lose his balance.

Compared to professional players, Robertson is indeed physically weaker. Facing the pressure from Arnold, he really could not withstand it. He almost lost his balance and fell several times while running wildly.

But it was almost there several times.

Robertson is always able to adjust his body center of gravity quickly.

It was precisely because Robertson was always swaying that gave Arnold the illusion that he could directly use his body to defeat his opponent.

When he realized why the opponent hadn't fallen yet, he suddenly discovered that one of the opponent's feet had already stepped into the penalty area.

This means that even if he committed a foul at this moment, it would be meaningless.

Thinking of this, Arnold retracted his hand that he had extended subconsciously, but still kept pressing closely behind him.

He knew that if Robertson wanted to shoot, he would not be able to stop him.

But as an excellent defender, he naturally has other tricks.

At this time, Scotland's striker Amster had been completely targeted, and because Scotland's previous lineup was too lagging behind, now only two players reached the front line.

In other words, Robertson now has no choice but to shoot the ball himself!
Robertson just rushed into the penalty area and found in a second that he had no teammates to support him.

On the other side, England's other full-back Kyle Walker was already rushing towards him.

If you don't shoot again, the opponent will block your shooting angle.

Thinking of this, Robertson shot without any hesitation!

But this also gave Arnold, who was following him, an opportunity.

When Arnold saw Robertson raise his foot, he instantly exerted force on his body and pushed Robertson with his hidden strength.

This caused Robertson, who was standing on one leg, to lose his balance instantly and he fell down.

But even when he was about to lie down, Robertson's foot still kicked the ball!
And I don't know if this kick was an accident or not, but it was not only powerful but also had an extremely graceful arc!

Joe Hart, who was standing in front of the goal, didn't even move when he saw the shot.

Because his first judgment was that the shot would go straight away.

But what he didn't expect was that when the ball was halfway through its flight, it suddenly began to spin violently, and then, at a strange angle of almost ninety degrees, it flew directly to the farthest point of the goal with a sound!

Joe Hart was stunned.

Joe Hart didn't even have time to move until the ball entered the goal!
"GOAL!!"

The live commentator cheered at the top of his lungs.

The audience erupted in thunderous cheers.

This goal is so cool!

This terrifying and weird arc makes it impossible for anyone to react. It is definitely a magical ball!
Looking at Joe Hart standing in front of the door with a helpless look on his face, Song Wen was also speechless.

It was obvious that Robertson's kick was intended to hit the target.

But why is it you who always wins, Qiao Ha Ta?

As a professional background board, Joe Hart has contributed too many famous scenes.

So much so that fans joked: "If the sky has feelings, it will also grow old. It will be stunned when it meets Hart."

He is called the strongest background emperor in the history of football.

Joe Hart has witnessed too many magical goals and famous scenes in his career.

Although many goalkeepers have experienced magical goals and world waves.

But Joe Hart always scores world-class goals in crucial matches.

He has been scored so many goals that he can’t even be counted on two hands.

But joking aside, Joe Hart is actually a very good goalkeeper.

Quick reaction, excellent explosive power, good jumping ability, excellent goal-line technology, decisive attack, accurate hand control of the ball and long passes with feet.

According to statistics, Joe Hart concedes a goal for every 1.92 saves.

This data basically crushes most Premier League goalkeepers.

That’s why all the goals scored against Joe Hart are magical goals.

That's because unless it's a magical shot, it's difficult to score against Joe Hart's goal.

However, Song Wen guessed that there was probably something on Joe Hart's body.

Otherwise, how could he be hit by a magic ball right at the beginning?

Robertson, who scored against England, quickly climbed up from the grass.

He waved his fists excitedly and ran around the audience seats excitedly!

The score was changed just eight minutes into the game.

And it was he who scored against the England team!

This game did not attract as much attention as the previous match between Song Wen and Tottenham and Manchester United.

The battle between Song Wen and Ali for the British star, the battle between Song Wen and Pogba for the world's best midfielder...

There was no controversy about this match that anyone outside was paying attention to.

There is only Robertson in my heart, and the game between him and Song Wen!

And now, he is ahead!
