Chapter 1,287, Fox City Striker

"Hello everyone in front of the TV! Welcome everyone to watch today's game. I am Morris, and sitting next to me is Raman. I would like to introduce our special guest - Professor Wenger! Today we will Three people commentating on England's first group match."

"Now the World Cup is coming to an end. After France defeated Belgium, they have obtained a ticket to the final. Today's semi-final between England and Spain will determine another final seat."

"Seeing the player lists of England and Spain, to be honest, although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that the Spanish team is indeed stronger than the English team on paper."

"The Spanish team played a 4-2-3-1 formation today: the goalkeeper is De Gea; the four defenders from left to right are Alba, Ramos, Pique and Nacho; the two defensive midfielders are Bu Skates and Koke; the three attacking midfielders from left to right are Asensio, Isco and David Silva; the center is Diego Costa. The seven substitutes are: Kepa, Carvajal , Maxi Alonso, Vazquez, Iniesta, Rodriguez and Aspas.”

"This lineup, whether it is forwards, midfielders, or defensive combinations, are all top-notch in the world. I can't find an ordinary star-level player in Spain's starting eleven. The starting lineup , almost all of them are players from Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and two players from the Premier League, De Gea and David Silva, are also from the powerful Manchester City duo, and they are the absolute core of the team."

"In addition to the starting lineup, there are also top players like Iniesta, Alonso and Carvajal sitting on the bench. Spain's bench depth is definitely sufficient!"

"However, there was a small change in the Spanish team in this game. Alonso, who had been starting the game before, was on the bench in this game. His replacement was Barcelona defender Alba. According to Spanish officials, Alonso was training He suffered some minor injuries, so he came on as a substitute. But during the warm-up just now, Alonso ran all over the court with the ball at all costs! Is this what an injured player should look like? Maybe there was something wrong with the Spanish team Question, this could be a good opportunity for England."

"Next let's take a look at Jin Taige's starting lineup for this game."

"It's still a 4-3-3 formation: the goalkeeper is Pickford; the four defenders from left to right are Ashley Young, Maguire, Cahill and Trippier; the three midfielders are Henderson , Carrick and Lingard; the three forwards from left to right are Vardy, Harry Kane and Sterling. The seven substitutes are: Butland, Danny Rose, Kyle Walker, Stones, Alli , Rashford and Rooney."

"The only change in the starting lineup in this game is the appearance of veteran Carrick! The 36-year-old veteran Carrick actually started the game, which surprised many fans. Although in the previous games, Carrick has Rick occasionally had the opportunity to come on as a substitute and performed well.

But in this World Cup semi-final, there is still a question mark on whether Carrick can withstand the pressure of high-intensity competition. "

"Now that both players have completed their warm-up and returned to the locker room, the game is about to begin!"

At this time, in the Spanish team's dressing room, Lopetegui was talking to the players with his head held high.

"We are the noble Spanish team! We are here to win the championship! A small role like the England team is not our opponent at all! Today I hope you will play a gorgeous offense and let those English people see what is real. Art football!”

In the England dressing room, King Tiger reminded the players for the last time.

"In this game, we must defend and counterattack, and we must play steadily and not rush forward easily. As well as the midfielders and backfield players, we must effectively organize the pass. This Spanish team is no longer the team that won the world championship in 2010. They have lost a lot of spirituality. , As long as our defensive system is strong, there will be no problem."

"Forwards must also pay attention and cherish counterattack opportunities! Facing a team like Spain, there are too few opportunities, and we must not waste them! When we are under the greatest defensive pressure, that is when we have the best offensive opportunities! Do a good job in offense and defense Switch the series and strive for a fatal blow! I believe in your strength! In this game, Carrick is the metronome of the team. He will adjust the rhythm of the game. You should pay attention to the coordination of passing and running."

"Guys, if we resist these ninety minutes, we can stay here and continue to play in the finals! Come on!"

Players from both sides ran onto the court. Everything was ready and the game was about to begin!

"With the referee's whistle, the game begins!"

“The Spanish team kicks off first in this match!”

"Spain's lineup has a total of five midfielders, and it is obvious that they want to make more fuss in the midfield. Although the England team has three midfielders and three forwards, judging from the opening positions, Sterling and Vardy With proper retraction, they can be considered as a five-man midfielder when they reach the full-midfield position. It seems that these two teams are preparing to compete in the midfield today!"

"The Spanish offensive players are pressing forward. At this time, Isco is holding the ball at his feet. In front of him is Carrick's defense. Isco wants to use his speed to get past Carrick!"

"Carrick made a decisive move! The ball was intercepted! The Spanish team's offensive formation was already pressing forward. Unexpectedly, the England team successfully intercepted the ball!"

"Carrick did not hesitate. He passed a long pass to the left! Vardy advanced at high speed and stopped the ball firmly with the inside of his calf! Accelerate forward! Koke was passed! The right back Nacho has already The assist came up, although I tried my best to catch up, but it was already too late!”

"Pique was marking Kane who was advancing quickly, and Ramos rushed up to Vardy, preparing to steal the ball!"

"Vardy volleyed directly from outside the penalty area! The ball went in!!!"

"Vardy's shot was extremely fast, and the ball hit the far corner of the goal like an arrow! De Gea had no time to save it!"

"Vardy is the leading forward of Leicester City in the Premier League. He once helped Fox City achieve a good result of second place in the league! Such a forward who came from the lower leagues step by step finally shined on the World Cup stage. Brilliant!"

"This goal was so sudden that the fans in the stands didn't react! Especially the England fans. They thought it would be a difficult game today, but they didn't expect they got off to a fantastic start!"

"1-0! England scored just after the opening kickoff!"
