Chapter 289 Genius Performance!

Ashley Cole never expected that he would get a yellow card for an accidental joking action with his teammates.

The referee gave the card without hesitation, which made Ashley Cole feel innocent. He tried to explain it to the referee, but it was completely useless. His teammates quickly pulled Ashley Cole away, otherwise the yellow card would turn into a red card. Even more unlucky.

"idiot!"

Wan Sheng watched and scolded his mother from the sidelines.

Originally a good goal, the opponent's goalkeeper was injured, which was very beneficial to the England team. As a result, Ashley Colebe got a yellow card, and he did not bother to complain to the fourth official.

There is nothing wrong with the referee showing a yellow card.

Ashley Cole's obvious index finger movement can easily be regarded as a provocation to opponents or fans, especially after the opponent's goalkeeper Loris' index finger was injured.

Some French fans in the stands began to express their dissatisfaction with Ashley Cole.

These voices made Ashley Cole, who was 'innocent', completely a provocative guy. Now the facts are not important at all. Even if Ashley Cole is innocent, the referee will not take back the yellow card, 'almost The French fans, who are sure to lose, will not listen to his explanation at all.

Wan Sheng angrily returned to his seat.

Ashley Cole got a yellow card, but the situation of the game has not changed. England is still two goals ahead, and it is too difficult for France to tie the score.

In the next game, the two teams continued their offensive battle.

With a two-goal lead, the England team is full of fighting spirit, and the French team wants to counterattack, but they can't play an advantage at all. From the perspective of the game, even some French media have admitted, "It's too difficult for the French team to tie. "

French coach Blanco stood on the sidelines, watching the game carefully, constantly recalling the two goals of the England team in his mind.

What's wrong with the team's defense?

He kept thinking.

With Gerrard's goal in mind, Blanco has figured out the crux of the matter, that the team's blockade of the front of the box wasn't enough.

Walcott's previous goal can also be said to be a long-range shot, Gerrard is a direct world wave, and the England team used two long-range shots to score two goals, which shows that the French team Insufficient restrictions on the front of the penalty area gave England players the opportunity to kick in front of the penalty area.

But the conclusion is actually useless.

By this time, Blanco also knew that the team had no less hope of tying the score.

This game may be useful for the other two teams in Group D, who will watch the game and find a way to limit England, while France can only accept the loss.

The first game has 0 points, and the situation is not very good.

If you want to qualify in Group D, the team must play the next game well.

————

England's coaching bench.

Wan Sheng tilted his toes and watched the game casually.

There is no suspense of victory or defeat.

It is almost impossible for the French team to tie the score. Although it is a pair of offenses, the defense of the English team is still very tight, especially the transition speed of offense and defense, and it does not give the French team a chance.

Wansheng was quite satisfied with the game.

In fact, victory is not the most crucial, but the effect of victory. The first game to defeat the French team has greatly increased the confidence of the players for the England team. It is very beneficial for the next two group matches. It can be said that , to win this game, England will have no problem qualifying for the group stage.

What makes Wansheng even more satisfied is that the team has truly managed to 'take victory in their hands'.

In the previous England team, every game was fought hard, and when they had an advantage, they would choose to defend the goal, and there was no difference between playing against a weak team and a strong team.

This is caused by a lack of confidence.

The England team will not take the initiative to control the game. Players do not have this concept. General coaches hope to focus on 'stability'. After this game, every player can find confidence.

As far as the second half is concerned, after taking a one-goal lead, the team played relatively stable, taking into account the defense while attacking, hardly giving the French team a chance.

This is progress!

Wansheng wants to see the team continue to improve, otherwise it will be too difficult to compete for the European Cup. Teams such as Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy are much more difficult to deal with than France.

————

Almost everyone thinks that the French team does not have many chances, which shows how difficult the French team is to play.

But the French team did not give up.

In fact, with 15 minutes left in the game, it's hard to say they can't tie the game, and as time goes by, the French attack is getting more and more violent.

England have started to retreat properly.

In the face of such a fierce attack by the French team, the England team has a two-ball advantage and does not have to continue to fight. That really gives the French team a chance, but the England team is not without threats. They occasionally fight back, which is enough to threaten the French team's vulnerability. line of defense.

The more anxious the French team is to score goals, the less the defense will care, and the greater the threat of England's counterattack.

In the 81st minute of the game, England had a front-court steal. It was Walcott. After grabbing the ball, seeing that there was no chance to move forward, he immediately returned the ball to Gerrard.

After a quick pass of two feet, the ball reached Maurice's feet, and two French players immediately pressed forward.

Morris chose to continue to pass.

The football arrived at Gerrard's feet again, and the French defenders immediately chased after them. They needed to quickly recover the ball and then attack, otherwise the game would really run out of time.

But at this moment, Gerrard suddenly kicked and passed the ball.

The French team was caught off guard!

Just as the centre-back Mex was about to rush towards Gerrard, he saw the football flying over his head. The only thing he could do was to follow the trajectory of the football and look at the landing spot.

The football's landing point was on the line of the penalty area. This position was quite dangerous. What made Mex even more alarmed was that he saw an opposing player rushing up quickly.

"Gerald, a pick pass!"

"Maurice! Maurice! He's plugged in so fast that he can't tell he's a 34-year-old!"

The timing of Gerrard's passing was too good.

Morris is also very decisive when he plugs in!

The French team paid great attention to defending Maurice, and the central defender Rami was guarding Maurice, but Maurice rushed over without watching the football at all. Rami made a judgment and waited for him to charge diagonally. At that time, it was too late to make a clearance in advance, and he could only watch Morris stop the ball.

Ribery also pounced!

The French team launched an offensive just now, but the ball was stolen in the backcourt, and Ribery kept running backwards. Unlike other French players, Ribery used to be teammates with Morris, and he still had a certain understanding of Morris. , so after withdrawing, he pounced directly on Morris.

Morris also noticed Ribery.

He is no stranger to Ribery and knows that the opponent's body is strong and defensive ability is also good. He can't be entangled by Ribery, otherwise there will be no chance.

Morris originally wanted to keep passing the ball, but he immediately changed his mind.

He suddenly started and rushed directly into the penalty area with the ball!

This choice seems to be a normal choice, but it surprised Wansheng. Morris has never been the type of player who likes to play individually. , dribbled the ball into the opponent's penalty area, and chose to find opportunities by himself.

But at this moment, seeing Maurice's determined face, Wan Sheng suddenly understood.

Morris is very calm when he thinks about it, and he seems to be indifferent personally. He doesn't care about anything at all, but as a professional player, he also hopes to win honors and hope that he can have more good memories.

This year is the best chance and the last chance.

If he wants to win the highest personal honor, it is not enough to win the championship with the team. He must work hard to express himself, show his strength and value, and let everyone look up.

With such an opportunity, instead of cooperating with his teammates, he dashed forward with the ball himself!

"come on!"

Wan Sheng encouraged Morris in his heart.

Morris brought the ball into the penalty area. In fact, it was not a good choice. Although Ribery, who was retreating, was thrown away, Rami was able to defend him closely.

In the penalty area, being entangled by a central defender is not easy to get rid of.

Morris needs to get rid of Rami to find space.

When seeing Rami entangled in Morris, the French team also let out a long breath, but Morris did not let Rami entangle for too long. knock.

Lamy thought it was a pass and looked back subconsciously.

At this moment, he stopped, twisted his waist and took a step back, and then used his right foot to push the ball forward. Lamy didn't have time to react. When he realized that Morris didn't pass the ball, Murray. Sri Lanka is already flashing out of space.

Then he followed and waved his right foot!

"Morris—!"

British commentator Lineker roared, followed by a long roar, "Goooooooooooooooooal!!!"

The football went straight into the net from the French substitute goalkeeper Mandanda.

Everyone stared blankly at the court, thinking back to the way Morris got rid of Rami just now.

Goals seem to matter at this moment.

Everyone was reminiscing about Morris's classic dribbling, when he used three moves to shake Rami until he didn't even know where the ball was.

There was a brief silence in the Donbass stadium of tens of thousands of people, and then the cheers broke out suddenly!

————

Looking at the football in the goal, Morris raised his arms excitedly!

Just now, he had an idea, but he actually wanted to pass it to his teammates, but when he saw Ribery and Rami attacking back and forth, he suddenly wanted to try it himself.

He succeeded!

All the other teammates came to congratulate!

Wan Sheng kept applauding on the sidelines and praised Morris' performance. He always knew that Morris was a very good player. In terms of ability, he was higher than C-Ronaldo and Messi. It can be said that Morris is the Not one of the best football players in the world.

Morris is a player that Wansheng has carefully cultivated.

Maybe it has something to do with the late bloomer. Morris has never been the kind of player who takes care of himself in the game. He always considers the entire team, which affects his personal performance.

Now that Maurice can play like this, Wansheng is very gratified.

In the understanding of many people, this is no longer a simple goal, but a perfect personal performance!

After the football flew to the goal, almost all the TV sets were replaying the scoring process, and all the commentators were amazed by Morris' performance--

"It's a real genius goal and it's unrepeatable!"

"Morris is in the penalty area and completely toyed with Rami!"

"Faced with a world-leading centre-back like Lamy, Morris can still show his superb personal skills in the narrow area of ​​​​the penalty area!"

"Maybe this goal will be the best in the group stage..."

"Many people say that England lacks skills, but look at Morris's goal! Who will dare to say that in the future!"

"Morris is the flag of England, and despite being 34, he is no worse than any young man..."

"Amazing! It's amazing!"

While the England players celebrated the goal, they were also very happy.

3 to 0!

There are still ten minutes in the game, and it is impossible for the French team to recover three goals.

Victory is decided!

————

Watching the celebration of the England team, the French coach Blanco sighed deeply. Before the game, he knew that it was not easy to play, but he did not expect the team to lose so badly.

Three goals!

He can't remember the last time England played France by three goals, but it's safe to say that it was at least 50 years ago.

In the past 20 years, the two teams have played against each other, and neither team has scored three goals.

Now... there is.

But the losing side is the French team!

In fact, losing the game is not unacceptable. After three games in the group stage, the French team still has a chance. As long as they win the remaining two games, they can enter the knockout stage.

But three goals behind is different.

Blanco could already imagine how much public pressure he would endure after the game. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the England coaching bench.

The Chinese was applauding, as if praising his own players.

Morris?

That's a real genius indeed!

But perhaps, this Chinese is more talented than any player. He only coached for ten days and brought so many changes to the England team. I really can't imagine it!

It's no wonder that when he coached the England team, the English media were looking forward to it!

————

The game ended up being completely garbage time.

After Morris completed the goal, Wansheng directly used three substitutions, one after another came on the bench to adapt to the game, and the French team coach Blanco also gave up the game and used the substitutions to let the substitutes play.

In the final time, neither side scored.

There was no suspense between the two teams, and the referee only gave one minute of stoppage time. After one minute was over, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game without hesitation.

The game ended when the whistle blew.

In the end, England won the game against France and took all three points in the first round!
