Chapter 1,262: Tear Apart the Dense Defense!
In the England team's locker room, Kim Tiger spoke slowly, without any sign of nervousness or anxiety: "Guys, in the first half, I underestimated the enemy too much, and our tactics were not particularly targeted. This is my problem. "
"The reason why I can still laugh now is because I am not in a hurry at all. Because I have full confidence in you! As long as you can show your normal state and level, there will be no problem in winning Tunisia! I believe in you!"
These words of Jin Taige made everyone a little embarrassed, especially the offensive players. Although the England team encountered a lot of trouble in the first half, and the opponent's intensive defense made them very awkward, but for the England team, it is not that they did not have any opportunities. Let's talk about the three good opportunities that Sterling wasted. As long as there are If it can be converted into a goal once, it will not be the current result.
Kane and Vardy did not perform at their best, and their shots lacked some accuracy.
As for Lingard and Ali in the midfield, their performance was also very average.
However, Ashley Young performed well in the first half. Not only was he defensively stable, but he was also often able to assist and create some cross-ball opportunities, but his level of cross-ball was too limited...
Jin Taige arranged the tactics for the second half: "In the first half, your quick attack was good, and my spirit was fully understood in the passing. However, the effect was not very good in the face of Tunisia's intensive defense. In the second half, we changed our style of play. I ask you to hold the ball as much as possible, use ball-control tactics, and push the front line inward. It is best if you can enter the penalty area. If not, hang around the penalty area! In this way, you strive to score goals as soon as possible. If there is no good opportunities, then create more set-piece opportunities and try to use set-pieces to open up the situation!"
After the tactical arrangement, Jintiger decisively made substitution adjustments: "Rooney, you replaced Vardy in the second half. You have good impact. You mostly move in the penalty area and look for opportunities to shoot; Trippier, you replaced Alli. , you create more crossing opportunities and cause chaos in Tunisia's penalty area."
"Guys, the 45 minutes in the second half are very crucial. I hope you can seize the opportunity, strive to score as early as possible and overtake as soon as possible! We have only one goal in this game - to win! Come on!"
As soon as the second half started, the majority of England fans discovered the changes in the team.
In the first half, Vardy often retreated. He was very explosive, but needed space to sprint, so he was always some distance away from the penalty area. After Rooney came on the scene, he often moved around the penalty area. Although Rooney is older, His speed and explosive power have weakened, but his strong body is still there and his impact is still amazing.
Since Rooney came on the field in the second half, Tunisia has been overwhelmed twice in a row, and England is getting closer and closer to the goal.
Trippier's appearance has enriched the England team's tactics. When England's possession tactics attract the opponent's attention, Trippier always gets a chance to deliver a wonderful cross, giving Kane and Rooney a chance to attack.
In the 65th minute of the game, England finally found the best opportunity.
"English players no longer take off easily. Tunisia has too many people in the penalty area and their shooting success rate is too low."
"Sterling spiked the ball lightly at the edge of the penalty area and passed a defensive player! He was surrounded by his opponent!"
"Sterling suddenly made a cross kick! Kane stretched out his foot in the middle and shot! The ball went in!"
"With more than 20 minutes left in the game,
The England team finally broke the deadlock and equalized the score! "
"Although it was Kane's goal just now, Sterling attracted three defensive players from the opponent. He helped Kane open up the space and finally won the goal! This goal was not easy!"
The England fans at the scene cheered loudly to celebrate the England team's goal!
Morris explained loudly and excitedly in the live broadcast room, and was very emotional.
Raman on the side shook his head helplessly: "England only scored one goal in Tunisia, but it makes everyone so happy. It's really depressing."
However, Wenger smiled brightly: "It seems that Kim Tiger has found a way to solve Tunisia. This equalizing goal is just the starting point, and things will get smoother and smoother in the future."
As Wenger said, after the England team scored this goal, it really became smoother and smoother. After Tunisia held on for an hour, they suddenly collapsed, which took a certain blow to their confidence and state.
In the 76th minute of the game, England finally took the lead.
"Sterling's ball control once again made Tunisia fearful! They blocked Kane and Rooney's receiving routes and prevented Sterling from passing the ball!"
"Sterling didn't cross, but suddenly split the ball! Trippier received the ball! His precise cross!"
"Rooney fired a volley from behind! The ball went in!!!"
"England finally overtook the score! England is safe in this game!"
"Rooney, who scored the go-ahead goal, rushed to the sidelines and hugged Kim Tiger tightly! Those voices questioning Rooney before the game should disappear from now on! He is still an important member of the England team, and he has not aged!"
There are now more than ten minutes before the end of the game. Although the England team has overtaken the score, Kim Tiger is still very cautious. Between defense and offense, he finally decisively chose the radical method - offense! Let England continue to suppress their opponents with offense!
Kim Tiger played his third card and replaced Sterling with declining physical fitness with Rashford.
Not long after Rashford came on the field, he used a wonderful breakthrough to create a good free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area.
Trippier's direct free kick hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline. England fans shouted regret.
Tunisia is also mobilizing troops and looking for opportunities to counterattack. However, under the powerful attack of the England team, it was difficult for them to find good opportunities.
When the game entered stoppage time, the England players on the field were already very tired.
Although it was just an ordinary World Cup group match, the England players felt as if they had expended a lot of energy.
But in the last minute of injury time, Tunisia's counterattack started again!
"This time it was Lingard's shot that was cleared out of the penalty area! It was Tunisia captain No. 10 Hazri again. He dribbled the ball towards the England half! Now Maguire is the only one in front of him!"
"The ball was passed by one man! Maguire was actually passed! Tunisia's single goal!"
"Will Tunisia turn the tide and score the winning goal in the final moments of the game?"
