Chapter 657 Leg-shaking Rossi on the England bench

The World Cup quarter-finals have all been announced.

England vs France.

Morocco vs Portugal.

Netherlands vs Argentina.

Croatia vs Brazil.

Except for the pure birthplace of football, the other seven teams are all traditional strong teams.

Among them, the war between Britain and France was the most watched battle.

England's young talents have created a youth storm in the World Cup and are the team with the most goals so far.

For the defending champion France, most of the main players have experienced two World Cups and one European baptism.

The players are more mature than those in England, both in terms of physical condition and skills.

Mbappe, Griezmann, Dembélé, and Chuameni are all talented people.

Three of them are worth over [-] million yuan.

Even Chuameni was worth 8000 million euros when he moved to Real Madrid.

This value is also at the ceiling level for the defensive midfielder position.

The core of the two teams, Rossi and Mbappe, are the strongest contenders for this year's Golden Globe Award.

Youthful storm vs. outstanding talent.

Judging from the recent 12 games played, the French team has a certain advantage with 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.

This is also the mentality adjustment that all England soldiers must make before the game.

At Qatar Gulf Stadium, the two teams gathered in the player tunnel and prepared to enter.

England starting lineup:
Goalkeeper: Pickford.

Defense: Luke Shaw, Maguire, Stones, Kyle Walker.

Midfielder: Bellingham, Declan Rice, Henderson.

Forwards: Foden, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka.

Rossi did not appear in the starting lineup, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

England fans don't understand either. Their head coach is so messed up and doesn't know what new tricks to play.

Starting line-up for France:
Goalkeeper: Lloris.

Defense: Theo Hernandez, Upamecano, Varane, Conde.

Double defensive midfielder: Rabiot, Chuameni.

Midfield and frontcourt: Mbappe, Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele.

Center forward: Giroud.

As a representative of the new generation's strength, Mbappe is the core of the French team's offense.

He is also England's key target in this game.

Zidane appeared in the stadium box to watch the game.

After leaving Real Madrid, he has been studying to become the coach of the French national team.

Deschamps has led the team with stable results, and the French team has not yet decided to change ownership. Zidane can only wait patiently.

He was also slightly surprised when he saw Rossi sitting on the bench with his legs crossed.

Could it be that England wants to keep Rossi in the second half of the game to decide the outcome?
If this is the plan, then England must defend well in the first half of the game.

Defend Mbappe.

Under the leadership of Brazilian referee Sampaio, the two sides entered the court and began this peak showdown.

The French team kicked off first.

After Giroud returned the ball to the midfielder, the French team's formation slowly expanded.

The England team also deployed its defense in the midfield in an orderly manner after the game started.

For traditional strong teams, seeking stability at the start is a consistent approach.

First, players must get into the rhythm and state of the game.

In the 10th minute, the French team, which had finished its warm-up, took the lead.

After Chuameni intercepted the ball in the midfield, Griezmann took advantage of the opportunity for the opponent's left back Luke Shaw to press forward and not return to defend, and Griezmann dribbled the ball from the ribs.When approaching the penalty area, England's defense was already surrounding Griezmann.

At this time, Dembele stepped in from the right, and England had no time to take care of it.

The French team easily picked up the ball from the wing and passed it into the penalty area.

Although England has traditional central defenders like Maguire on guard, they are slightly inferior to Giroud in judging where the ball will land.

[Giroud header! ! ! 】

[What a pity, it’s too upright! 】

[Confiscated easily by the goalkeeper! 】

[After the start, the French team’s offense was more aggressive! 】

Although he did not pose an absolute threat, Giroud was able to get the ball between the two central defenders, and England's defense should be alert.

Southgate hurriedly directed the defense and emphasized strengthening the defensive thickness in the middle.

Just 6 minutes later, the French team's offensive struck again.

After Mbappe and Theo cooperated like hitting the wall, they dribbled the ball through the middle.

Henderson wanted to fall to the ground and tackle, but Mbappe was too fast. He moved the ball with his left foot and instantly avoided Henderson's tackle.

Due to the timely return of England's defense in the middle, Mbappe had no chance to shoot and immediately divided the ball.

After Dembele received the ball, the penalty area was already full of English defensive players, leaving no room for a breakthrough.

It has to be said that after England adjusted its defensive strategy, it did a perfect job of protecting the penalty area.

But it was precisely because the defense was too deep that the space near the penalty area was given up.

Dembele passed back to Griezmann, and Griezmann hit Chuameni outside the penalty area.

The midfielder who joined Real Madrid in the new season gently moved the ball in front of him with his right foot, then adjusted and hit the goal with his right foot.

This shot was about 25 meters away from the goal, and the England team was not prepared at all.

I saw the ball whizzing past the turf and heading straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

Although Pickford made a save, the ball was too fast and no one interfered with Chuameni's shot.

It was so easy for him to cum.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[The ball has scored! 】

[The French team opened the scoring in the 16th minute of the game! 】

【Chuameni! 】

[The young waist beast of the French team! 】

[First appearance for the national team last year! 】

[This is his second national team goal! 】

[This earth-shattering shot, the goalkeeper has absolutely nothing to do! 】

[After Kante and Pogba missed the World Cup due to injuries, the young Chuameni’s performance was not inferior at all! 】

Falling behind at the start. This is the first time England has fallen behind in the score in this World Cup. This somewhat confused the English players.

After losing the ball, the England team began to press aggressively, using the two wingers Saka and Foden to look for opportunities.

In the 20th minute, right winger Saka was brought down by Rabiot when he was cutting inside on the edge of the penalty area. England received a well-positioned free kick.

After the camera showed Luke Shaw standing in front of the penalty spot, it immediately focused on David Beckham in the box.

Although he has been out of the national team for many years, the national team still praises his legend.

approach,

shoot!

Luke Shaw's left foot originally wanted to take a curve ball, but the penalty spot was relatively close to the goal and it was difficult to control the force.

Although the ball crossed the wall, it was slow and was collected by Lori.

Beckham in the private room showed no emotion on his expression.

Because he knew very well that the guy who could change the game with free kicks was sitting on the bench with his legs crossed.
