Chapter 948 Hart's attributes.
962 Hart's property.
Although England has established the qualifications to qualify for the group stage, there is still a task before them!
That is to ensure that the group is the first to qualify.

According to the current form, many strong teams will enter the upper half!

And if England can win the first place in the group, they will enter the lower half, thus avoiding many strong teams.

Gao Bo also knew that this England team did not have the absolute strength to win the championship. To win the championship, it would be easier to have a good schedule.

therefore!

Defeating Costa Rica and winning the first place in the group, whether it is Gao Bo or the players, there is no doubt about this.

Since we are going to compete for the first place in the group, we must prepare well for the last game of the group stage.

Predictably, this game is a very difficult battle!
Costa Rica's 541 formation put out a bus in front of their goal.

This is a difficult problem for any team to break through the iron barrel formation.

What's more, Costa Rica also proved in the previous two games that the iron barrel formation they put up is not fake!
They counterattacked and scored three goals for Uruguay, and Italy failed to break through their defense!

This Costa Rica team seems to be the biggest dark horse in this World Cup.

Regardless of the outcome of the final group stage, they will reach the round of [-], tying Costa Rica's best record at the World Cup.

This is enough for them to be proud of.

Inside the team, for the Costa Rica team, the players did not take it lightly, but they prepared very seriously.

They are all professional players, and the opponent's ability to beat teams like Uruguay and Italy one after another cannot be explained by luck alone.

In addition, Gao Bo emphasized from the very beginning that Costa Rica must not be underestimated, so the players did not underestimate the enemy.

But among the media and fans.

England is full of a relaxed atmosphere. The English believe that with the strength shown in England's previous two games, they can easily beat Costa Rica, and then enter the knockout round as the first in the group!
At this point, they have already begun to analyze England's opponents in the knockout round
At the press conference before the game, Gao Bo and Rooney, who attended the press conference, both emphasized that the team will not underestimate the enemy, and Costa Rica is a strong opponent.

However, in the eyes of the media, these are just polite words to deal with the media.

When Costa Rica's head coach Pinto heard this, he also frowned slightly.

To be honest, Costa Rica's overall strength is certainly not as good as England's. Their chance is to catch a counterattack, and if England shows a little sign of underestimating the enemy, it is of course the best thing for Costa Rica.

"Coach Gao Bo is the best coach in the world!"

Just when Pinto was thinking about something, the Costa Rica captain and goalkeeper Keylor Navas beside him said this.

This made Pinto a little jealous.

His captain publicly claimed that the opponent's head coach is the best head coach, and usually in the team, Navas and himself are just a working relationship.

But Pinto also knows that comparing himself with Gao Bo is comparing a tricycle with a Ferrari, a completely asymmetrical comparison.

He picked himself up quickly.

"We will go all out in tomorrow's game. I am ready for a hard fight. To beat his team, we must work a hundred times harder!"

Navas said so.

When the game started, it was as most expected.

The pace of the game is not fast!

And most of the time it was England who were attacking with the ball.

On the other hand, Costa Rica put on an iron barrel formation, and even the only forward completely retreated to the front of the penalty area.

They seem to have completely given up on offense!
In the first half, England's possession rate even reached 90.00% at one point!
Even with such an exaggerated possession rate, England has nothing to do with Costa Rica.

Navas is in a very good state in this game!

England's few chances in the first half were saved by him.

Game No. 305 minutes, England got a corner kick!

Smalling, who got the chance to start in this game, received a pass header in the penalty area and shook his head, slightly higher!
Game No.40 for two minutes!

Wayne Rooney passes!

Gerrard catches the ball at the front of the penalty area and makes a long-range shot, then breaks into the left rib of the penalty area and shoots from a small angle!

Football was bravely resolved by Navas!

Game No. 404 minutes!

Vardy's shot creates a corner!

England's two central defenders all went to the penalty area!
Breaking the iron barrel formation often depends on set kicks!

therefore!

England has also practiced a lot of corner kick routines in the past few days!
Sterling goes for a corner kick!
At this time, players from both sides in the penalty area were densely entangled together!
Sterling raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers!
The players in England understood and moved according to the routine of the drill.

On the other hand, the players in Costa Rica stood nervously in key areas, staring at key defensive players!

The referee's whistle sounded!
Sterling kicks the ball out!
But it didn't drive into the penalty area, but pushed to the left side of the penalty area!
Luke Shaw, who followed at high speed, hit the ball and shot directly! !

The football flies to the goal against the turf!

In the eyes of all fans!
Bang! !

The football hit the crossbar and bounced back!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

In the commentary booth, many commentators held their heads in their hands, regretting England's shot that almost scored a goal!
Right now!

Suddenly they found out!
The football bounced to the outside of the penalty area!
And Brian Ruiz, the core midfielder of Costa Rica, plugged in at high speed! !

Milner and Trippier hurriedly chased back!

however!
This time Brian Ruiz did a world-class operation!
He first looked up at Hart's position, and then kicked directly in the area near the center line! !
"No way?!"

Gao Bo's heart skipped a beat, especially after seeing Hart's position.
"I'll wipe it, it can't be so evil."

After the football arc was kicked out, Gao Bo felt a little uneasy.

this ball.
"Brian Ruiz lobs straight up."

Letkinson's voice was a little off.

All the fans are watching the football flying in the air!

Hart's heart is also tight!
This ball is falling into the goal! !
He hastily retreated!

However.
When Hart jumped high, the football flew through his fingertips!
Falling to the goal behind him!
