Chapter 288 Loris' Index Finger

Donbass Stadium.

The match between England and France has become very intense, both sides are constantly on the offensive, the fast-paced game is dazzling, but the French coach Blanco found that the French team has gradually 'behind', and some cannot keep up with England. Team rhythm.

"Is this the most important thing the Chinese brought to England?"

Blanco thought in surprise.

If Wan Sheng knew what Blanco was thinking, he would only smile slightly and not explain anything.

England can play fast-paced games and make France a little bit behind. It can be said that Wansheng brought the team, but he did not do it deliberately.

In the preparation training, Wansheng also emphasized the rapid withdrawal.

Everyone in the team, including the striker team, must retreat quickly after a wave of offensive, and wait until a certain position before starting to prepare for a counter-attack and organize an overall defense. This is to ensure that everyone They can all participate in the defense without appearing. For example, a forward player, who counterattacks on the spot in the frontcourt, is pulled behind by the opponent's defender with a direct pass. didn't work.

In order for Wansheng to maximize the team's defensive ability, it must allow all players to retreat to a certain position before starting to organize defense.

In fact, the on-site scramble in the frontcourt also has certain advantages. If the scramble can be successful, the team will win the opportunity to suddenly counterattack, but the possibility of Erna's appearance is too low, especially for a strong team like the French team, it is even more difficult to appear. That kind of mistake.

The concept of 'quick retreat' alone will definitely not allow the England team to continue to play fast-paced offense and defense. More importantly, it is actually the football training master system, which increases the attributes and abilities of each player. This improvement will directly make England. The overall physical fitness of the team is much stronger than that of the French team.

With enough physical support, players can run fast back and forth in the game, and the England team can naturally support fast-paced games.

This is actually just a "incidental" benefit of Wansheng leading England.

Blanco, the head coach of the French team, probably won't come up with it until the day he dies...

The fast-paced offensive and defensive play of the two teams made the game very exciting.

In the first half there were a lot of fans looking lethargic, now it's the exact opposite, everyone is very invigorated.

The second half of the game was like this, which was beyond most people's expectations. During the intermission, the French football TV commentator Ferdo and the guests also analyzed the situation in the second half. They all believed that the England team had a goal advantage. They will play more conservatively. Now the situation is completely different from the analysis, so the French commentator Ferdo said sourly, "England's defense in the first half was just an appearance, they deceived the French team with their performance, and then suddenly attacked , scored a goal."

"This is a goal scored by despicable means. Maybe now is the real England team. The game is going on, and every team must be wary of England."

"But France still has a chance, it's just one goal behind, there are 30 minutes left in the game, and France has time to catch up!"

The British commentator supported the England team, and Lineker praised the team with a loud roar, "This is the England team! The England team has played a style! This is exactly what the England team should have!"

"Now England are leading the game, and the French are getting worse and worse! The balance of the game has been tilted in favor of England!"

"In the game, in our opinion, the England team showed a new look! This may be what Wansheng brought to the team! The England team rarely played such a passionate game, let alone against the arch-rival France! We saw the brilliance and the dawn of victory..."

"Come on, England!"

In addition to the British and French media and TV stations, there are also many other countries that are broadcasting live games. Among them, China has the largest number of viewers. First, there are many Chinese fans. Second, the head coach of the England team is Wansheng. Wansheng is Chinese football. So there are many Chinese fans watching the game.

"Xinlang Sports" broadcasted the game live. When seeing the England team playing more and more passionately and excitingly, the special guest Huang Jianxiang blurted out a classic Internet catchphrase, "The game is a match between two masters, but the England team broke out. Amazing fighting power!"

As the game got more exciting, all the fans watching the game became more serious.

————

In the fast-paced offensive and defensive battle between England and France, there was actually a key player who never showed much, and was even ignored by the French team.

That is England midfielder Steven Gerrard.

In the past, Gerrard was definitely a player that any England opponent could not ignore, but this game is different, the French team paid more attention to Morris, Gerrard is the core of Liverpool, but Morris is the core of Atletico Madrid.

In the past season, Atletico Madrid won the 'Triple Crown' of the Spanish League, the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League. As the core, it is also the core of Atletico Madrid. Naturally, Maurice has attracted much attention. Many media believe that, Morris is likely to be nominated for the FIFA Ballon d'Or this year.

This award was created by the merger of FIFA's former World Player of the Year and the former Ballon d'Or in 2010. It has become the most watched, authoritative and influential individual award in world football.

Morris won the Golden Globe in 2008.

Now that Morris is over 34 years old, at the end of his career, if he can win the 'World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or again, it will be a perfect ending.

Maurice's biggest rival is Messi.

However, many media believe that Messi's performance is indeed very good, but this year Barcelona did not win the championship in the Champions League, league, domestic cup, all three competitions, even if Messi is very popular, it is difficult to compete for all. The champion Morris, after all, this award is selected by well-known media, various national team coaches and players.

The England team has such a Maurice who is about to win the world's top award and is in very good shape. It is conceivable how much the French team attaches importance to.

In comparison, Gerrard is much worse.

It seems like the importance of the opponent. From the beginning of the game to the present, Gerrard really didn't have an outstanding performance, but in fact, that was because Gerrard spent most of his energy on defense.

Gerrard is over 32 years old and has few years to his career.

He has always been the main force of the club and the national team. Liverpool's performance has not improved, and he has nothing to contend with. He hopes that the England team can play a good result, so he is the most serious in implementing Wansheng's requirements.

Gerrard's biggest feature is his physical fitness.

The spirit of never giving up in the game is also full of contagion to teammates and fans.

No matter in the club or the national team, Gerrard has always performed very well. A few years ago, many people said 'Double Germany', but in fact, in the England national team, Gerrard has always performed better than Lampard, because of In this way, after Morris entered the national team, he only squeezed out Lampard's position.

Same goes for this game.

Before, Gerrard's energy had been on defense, and he participated in the attack not many times, but as the rhythm of the game accelerated, the England team launched the offensive as a whole, and Gerrard also participated more in the attack. He and Morris The division of labor is very clear. When Morris is in the front, Gerrard is behind, and in turn, when Morris is in the back, Gerrard runs forward.

Compared to Morris, Gerrard's ability to respond in the frontcourt is relatively strong, and his cooperation with his teammates is also more tacit.

Maurice is the key target of the French team, Gerrard felt that his position was liberated, his game felt very good, and he felt that he was in good shape.

This time Gerrard had his chance.

When England sent the ball around 10 metres into the box, Gerrard got the pass.

Maurice on the other side was guarded by two French players. Gerrard couldn't defend when he got the ball. Instead of dribbling the ball forward, he glanced at the door and chose to swing his foot away without hesitation. shoot.

What an unexpected foot!

Gerrard is a player who is good at long-range shots, but since the start of the game, he has yet to take a shot. Even if he gets the ball unguarded, the French team is not worried, because Gerrard's position is nearly 30 away from the goal. Mi, they think Gerrard will choose to give the ball to his teammates again.

The French team made a misjudgment!

Gerrard always remembers what Wansheng said, "Shoot when we have the chance, and make more use of long-range shots and headers. This is our advantage!"

Long-range shooting is indeed the advantage of the England team, but also the advantage of Gerrard!

Gerrard is the best long-range player in the team!

Bang!

Gerrard suddenly attacked with a huge force, and the football rushed directly to the French goal.

The distance of 30 meters seems to be shortened!

The goalkeeper was able to react to such a distance shot, and Loris rushed to the left.

Loris' judgment was very accurate. His open hands and fingers touched the football, and he was overjoyed, but the next moment, his face was full of surprise.

The football bumped into his fingers and changed direction a little, but dashed anyway.

Loris fell to the ground.

Before he could turn his head to see the result, he felt a sharp pain in his finger.

————

Everyone is paying attention to this wave of England's offensive.

Morris distributed the ball to Ashley Young on the wing, Ashley Young ran the ball forward, and after crossing the center line, he handed the ball back to Morris.

Morris got the ball and was blocked by two French players. He kicked the ball to Walcott in front of him in the gap. Walcott had no chance and moved across to Gerrard, who was inserted.

"Walcott handed the ball to Gerrard..." Even the British commentator's tone was flat, but what he never expected was that the next moment he saw Gerrard swiping for a shot.

"...Shoot! Shoot!"

Lineker didn't even have time to shout his name, "Long shot... the ball is in! The ball is in!"

If you didn't watch the TV screen, you would definitely be surprised. The commentator was talking about passing the ball flatly at the last moment, but why did he suddenly score a goal at the next moment?

But the vast majority of fans are watching the game seriously.

All England fans went crazy when they saw the football rush into the goal.

Lineker also went crazy, "Goooooooooooal!!!"

"Goal scored! 2-0!"

"Gerrard! Gerrard! He scored a world wave! Gerrard helped England open the gap! 2-0! Beautiful! So beautiful! World wave! Super long shot!"

At the same time as Lineker shouted, all England fans went crazy. In the stands of Donbass Stadium, England fans could be seen cheering everywhere.

2 to 0!

This is a game against the French team. The French team is no worse than the England team, but the England team leads by two goals.

England fans are so excited!

At the same time, the English players on the field, as well as the coaches, team doctors, and substitute players on the bench also began to celebrate the goal. This goal made them even happier than before, because two goals ahead of the French team almost meant that England could win. Win the next game.

But soon the English players on the field did not have much to celebrate.

There are people injured.

French goalkeeper Loris took off his gloves, held his fingers and grinned. The referee hurried over to check, and quickly signaled the team doctor to enter the field. After a short examination, the team doctor determined that Loris' right index finger was fractured.

"...?"

"French goalkeeper Lloris seems to be injured? He walked out of the pitch clutching his fingers..."

"Is that the save just now?"

Many TV stations that broadcast live games no longer continue to broadcast the celebratory pictures, but broadcast Loris' saves in a loop. From the slow motion, you can clearly see the touch of Loris' fingers and the football, but it is ugly with gloves on. to the specific situation.

The only thing the audience can be sure of is that Lloris is really injured because he has walked off the pitch.

The French team is also ready to replace the goalkeeper.

"We should pray for the unfortunate Loris..." Commentator Lineker said, his voice was full of schadenfreude. The French player's injury has nothing to do with the United Kingdom. The two sides are direct opponents and mortal enemies in football history.

England were not in the mood to celebrate either, but they were all joking about Lloris' injury, which was caused by Gerrard's shot.

"You actually kicked Loris' finger off..."

Ashley Cole said jokingly, and raised his right index finger. He wanted to use his right index finger to touch Gerrard's foot, but he stopped before he finished the action.

The referee just passed by.

Seeing Ashley Cole's action, without any hesitation, the referee showed Ashley Cole a yellow card.

This yellow card is a bit unfair.

Ashley Cole put down his fingers in embarrassment.

Wan Sheng was happy just now with the goal, but now his face has turned dark.

"idiot!"

He cursed.
