Chapter 658 Battle against England (4)

Chapter 658 Battle against England ([-])

When Joe Hart saw the goalkeeper warming up in front of the bench, he understood in his heart that if he wanted to avoid the tragic fate of the England goalkeeper, he had to cheer himself up. Joe Hart made an OK gesture to Ranieri on the sidelines, indicating that he was fine.

Ranieri nodded, and then signaled to the substitute goalkeeper to go further away to continue warming up. Li Guo could see all this clearly, "Isn't this what I did with Yan Junling? Haha, I was learned by the old fox."

Anyone who has watched the Premier League knows that England's full-backs are all from Tottenham. The assist ability of these two short black defenders is super.

Sterling's personal breakthrough misfired, and one person saw it, and that was right back Walker.

Walker's English name translates to "walking man", and it is indeed true to his name. Walker's short-distance sprint ability is super.

Suddenly, when Sterling and Geng Chong were entangled, a white shadow rushed up from England's right.

At this time, Walker ran straight along the sideline as if he was running a hundred meters. This is a typical full-back assist routine.

"Geng Chong."

"Sterling."

Li Guo and Ranieri yelled out almost at the same time, of course they both noticed that Walker plugged in at high speed.

Li Guo saw it. As long as Sterling pushed the ball forward lightly, Walker, who quickly inserted it, could completely blast the left side of the Chinese team and make a pass from the bottom.

This situation is unsolvable for Geng Chong. Unless he has teammates to help him defend, he can only watch Walker go up, except for fouls and yellow cards.

At this moment, Geng Chong saw a red figure chasing after him, getting closer and closer to Walker.

"Zheng Zhi!"

Zheng Zhi cut from the side, as if he had taken a shortcut, "But..." Geng Chong knew that Zheng Zhi was not a defensive midfielder, but a forward midfielder, and his defensive awareness was indeed strong enough.

"Get out of the way!" Zheng Zhi yelled to avoid colliding with Geng Chong's teammate. At this moment, Sterling just pushed the ball forward. Walker didn't slow down. He stepped forward with his left foot and accelerated a second time.

Zheng Zhi tried his best, although his speed was not as fast as Walker, but he always maintained his coercion against Walker behind Walker.

In the stands, Mu Fei also stood up, now it's up to who can grit their teeth, after all, they are all sprinting without oxygen.

"Captain, come on!" Mu Fei shouted, even though he was the former captain, Mu Fei still called the captain habitually.

Someone following behind is like a small stone in a shoe. Although there is no major problem, Walker is always distracted.

Seeing that Walker was about to make a cross, Zheng Zhi made a shovel, which caused great psychological pressure on Walker. Although the ball was passed, it flew directly out of the opposite sideline.

After completing the tackle, Zheng Zhi sat on the ground and rubbed his thighs, which cost half of Zheng Zhi's life.

"Brother Zheng, it's okay, thank you for helping me fill my seat," Geng Chong stretched out his hand, Zheng Zhi waved his hand, "Don't pull me, let me sit for a while."

"Hehe," Geng Chong patted Zheng Zhi and walked away.

Li Guo also gave Zheng Zhi a thumbs up. He really defended the ball with his life just now, and it succeeded.

Zheng Zhi also had a small plan in his heart. As a veteran, he had nothing to fight with young people. The only thing he could do was to have a better attitude. As Milu said back then, attitude determines everything.

As the captain of the Red Army Liverpool, Henderson has gradually established his authority, the same in England.

Many fans remember the scene where Henderson used his eyes to contempt Costa in the league. Facing the Chelsea striker Costa who wanted to provoke trouble, Henderson coldly used a king's contempt, and Costa immediately became honest.

Ranieri's tactics are very clear, the midfielder is completely handed over to Henderson, just like the Chinese team's midfielder is completely handed over to Zhou Dun.

When England played on both sides, Zhou Dun and Henderson had no chance of direct confrontation, but when England's side was contained, Henderson had more and more time to think with the ball.

In this way, the frontal PK of the two cores is inevitable.

Henderson took the ball in the midfield, Zhou Dun stepped forward and pressed for it, Henderson flicked the ball with the back of his foot, but Zhou Dun followed up with his second foot and swept the ball down.

England players rushed to surround Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun didn't do anything, but gave England a cold look.

Henderson sat on the ground covering his ankles for a while, "I don't know what this dog is made of, it's like wearing a pair of iron shoes."

When Henderson took the ball again, he was still suppressed by Zhou Dun. This time Henderson learned his lesson and turned around to protect the ball. If Zhou Dun kicked him, he would get 100% of the cards.

Zhou Dun couldn't steal the ball, but he used his strong upper body to squeeze Henderson into his own half.

In the end, Henderson was squeezed back inch by inch, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, Henderson swung an elbow and hit Zhou Dun on the body.

Zhou Dun fell to the ground in response, and Henderson panicked. This was a red card action. He immediately explained to the referee: "He rubbed me and rubbed me."

England players also surrounded the referee, Harry Kane said: "If you want to get a card this time, what about the opponent's shovel on Henderson just now?"

The English players held on to Zhou Dun's kick and used it as a life-saving straw. In the end, the referee also found a balance and just gave Henderson a yellow card.

At this time Zhou Dun also got up, and Henderson came over to show his favor, "Hey, buddy, you are too good at pretending."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dun gave him an extremely indifferent look, which made Henderson cold from head to toe.

"I've never seen such a ruthless person," Henderson thought to himself. This is called aura on the court, such as Cantona's aura, which makes people dare not violate it.

Henderson can also be considered a ruthless person, but today he met someone who was more ruthless than himself, and he felt frightened. Since then, Henderson has encountered Zhou Dun's defensive entanglement, and he passed the ball to his teammates as much as possible instead of confronting Zhou Dun.

0-0 in the first half, Ranieri is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. For a coach like him, he has experienced too many things.

Li Guo looked at his watch. He was really lucky that he didn't concede a goal in the first half, but Li Guo also knew that England didn't make an effort. Look at their bench, Vardy and Drinkwater were sitting there.

The referee gave 3 minutes of stoppage time, and after 45 minutes of dull 0-0, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

There were sporadic boos in the stadium. It seemed that the semi-finals should not be so boring, but this is not what the coaches of the two sides should consider. They only want to win the game, even if it is an ugly win.
