Chapter 1,271, The Efficient England Team

When the first half was about to end, Colombia was already on the offensive. They wanted to use the last time to try to equalize the score and enter the halftime break with a tie.

At this time, Jintiger saw the huge defensive gap in Colombia's backcourt, and he was very happy.

At this time, second captain Henderson also saw this situation. He called Lingard to help him defend and try to steal the ball as soon as possible.

During an attack, Colombian midfielder Lerma shot a through ball, but Henderson predicted it in advance and fell to the ground to intercept the ball. Lingard next to him received the ball, and he drove to the frontcourt with a big kick!

"England's counterattack is coming again! This time it's Sterling! He's advancing quickly down the right!"

"This is a great opportunity! The Colombian player is already out of position!"

"Sterling passed the ball to Kane in the middle of the penalty area. Kane wanted to turn around after getting the ball, but he was tightly marked by two defensive players and it was difficult to turn around and shoot!"

"Kane suddenly returned the ball to the left side of the penalty area! Rashford quickly stepped in and shot!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The ball was so powerful and fast that the Colombian goalkeeper had no reaction!"

"At the end of the first half, the England team expanded the lead! 2-0! The England team is stable in this game! As long as they continue to play like this in the second half, the last eight spots will be theirs!"

After scoring the second goal, Rashford celebrated with his teammates and then ran to Kim Tiger on the sidelines and hugged him tightly: "Boss! I scored!"

"You performed great, I'm very satisfied, keep working hard and strive for more goals!"

"No problem, boss!"

The first half ended shortly after Colombia's restart, following England's celebrations. The England team walked towards the dressing room happily, while Colombia looked dejected, as if they had lost the game.

In the live broadcast room, Morris was in high spirits: "Since Kim Tiger led England, I feel very excited every time I watch the England team play, as if we can win against any opponent!"

"Rashford and Sterling each scored a goal in the first half to help England take a two-goal lead. These two young players performed so well! I think the England coach should analyze the German team's play in advance. Come on, is there any suspense in this game?"

Raman also expressed admiration for Kim Tiger's tactics: "In this game, the England team really played the essence of Manchester United's fast attack. Two excellent counterattack opportunities were not wasted, and the performance was very efficient! The boys deserve a spot in the quarterfinals!" Well done to Sterling and Rashford!"

Wenger emphatically praised captain Kane: "Although Kane did not score in this game, as the fulcrum of the frontcourt, he contributed greatly to the two goals. Now Kane alone tops the scorer list, he must be very He is eager to score goals and win the World Cup Golden Boot. But because of the team's tactical system, he does not hesitate to give up shooting opportunities and play for his teammates. He is a qualified captain!"

After Raman heard this, he suddenly said: "When Kane came off the field just now, I saw something was wrong with his walking posture. Was he slightly injured?"

This sentence shocked Morris: "No way? Now Kane is the core of England's offense! If something goes wrong with him, then England will be in trouble! God bless, I hope Kane can be healthy..."

Raman's eyes were indeed very vicious.

At this time, in the locker room, the team doctor was checking Kane's injury.

Kane frowned: "When I assisted the second goal just now, the Colombian defender kicked my ankle. I didn't feel it at the time. It hurts a little now. I don't know what happened."

The whole team was very nervous. They looked at the team doctor as if they were waiting for the judge's verdict.

After a while, the team doctor said calmly: "Kane may just have a slight contusion. It's not serious. He will be fine in two days. But it is best not to play in this game. If there is another problem with the injury, then That’s troublesome.”

Kane frowned: "Now the team needs me, how can I get off the field? I demand persistence!"

Jin Taige sat next to Kane, and he patted his captain: "Harry, we all understand what you mean, but you have to understand that the team not only needs you now, but also needs you even more in the next games! We still need you There are many games waiting for you to play! If you force your appearance today and affect your ability to play in future games, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?"

"You are the captain of the team. I hope you can rest assured about the performance of your teammates. Have a good rest and wait for the quarter-finals!"

After hearing what Jin Tiger said, Kane didn't say anything else. He nodded and looked at his teammates around him: "Guys, please give it a try in the second half!"

Sterling said to Kane with a relaxed look: "Don't worry, we will definitely maintain our advantage in the second half and let you watch the game happily on the bench."

Kane's whole body felt cold: "Don't mention happy things, I feel flustered..."

Jin Taige also seemed to have an ominous premonition...

At the beginning of the second half, the England team made substitution adjustments: Rooney came on instead of Kane and appeared at the center position.

Raman in the live broadcast room even frowned: "Could it be that Kane is really injured?"

Morris said worriedly: "It's possible! There may be trouble in the following games. Now Vardy is out due to injury, and I don't know when he will recover. Kane is injured again, which is troublesome..."

Several people were worried in the live broadcast room, and there were some changes in the situation on the field.

Just five minutes into the second half, Colombia's offense once again posed a threat.

This was originally a chance for England to counterattack, but Rooney responded with a pass to Sterling. Sterling kicked the goalkeeper's arms from close range, wasting this good opportunity.

The goalkeeper continued to launch a hand-throwing attack. Colombia's offensive formation was still in the frontcourt. They passed several passes in succession and penetrated the English team's defense. Falcao succeeded in shooting from the top of the penalty area and helped the team regain a goal. !

1 to 2! Colombia sees hope of advancing to the quarterfinals again!

Kane covered his head off the court: What are you afraid of? This Sterling is really worrying...

Jin Taige stood on the sidelines and was very helpless: This goal was lost due to Sterling's mistake. Unexpectedly, the two-goal lead allowed Sterling to start enjoying happy football again. The good situation of winning was lost. It was really too bad. Pity.

Morris and Raman in the live broadcast room were also very helpless. They sighed repeatedly and were disappointed with the loss.

Wenger looked at Sterling on the court and said softly: "I guess Tiger must be missing the players of Manchester United now..."
