Chapter 1271 Restricting each other!

After 10 minutes of testing and rhythm improvement before the game, the England team should at least understand the Chinese team's style of play today.

If the England team does not adopt full-court pressing tactics, then the Chinese team will waste time. Once they press up the frontcourt and press the whole court, the Chinese team will launch a fast break. At this time, the England team’s defense is not tight. The probability of winning will be higher, this is the first punch!
At the same time, the formation of the Chinese team is also pressing. When the England team successfully defends and prepares to launch a counterattack, the Chinese team will take the second punch once the counterattack is successful!
This is a tactical design of combined boxing.

It will not continue. No matter whether it is successful or not, the Chinese team will not fight in the frontcourt and return to defense to ensure the safety of the defense.

At the Russell Landmark Stadium, Southgate has no good way to deal with the Chinese team's style of play, because the conservativeness of the Chinese team has made England very passive from the beginning.

England can't let the Chinese team waste game time, which is the most fundamental reason.

So the next can only be led by the nose by the Chinese team!
It's a pity that they don't have absolute field control.

Of course, the frontcourt siege may still have certain advantages.

In the 12th minute of the game, England made a quick break in the frontcourt, and Barkley organized an offensive in the middle of the frontcourt. The strikers of the Chinese team retreated to the backcourt. After the ball was passed diagonally to the left side of the front court, it was Luo Xin who came to Sancho to press him when he was holding the ball from the side!

The two full backs of the Chinese team shrank to the penalty area line, obviously giving up the outside defense, and the wing defense was handed over to the winger!
At the same time, the three midfielders also retreated to the front of the penalty area, and the [-]-yard area in front of the Chinese team's goal was blocked!
Sancho controlled the ball at his feet and changed direction to complete the dodge of Luo Xin's defense, and then accelerated the ball to the bottom, but before reaching the bottom line, he could only complete a pass in a well-regulated manner.

The football flew into the middle of the penalty area and was cleared by Bai Yuanfan with a header. Rashford had no chance to grab a spot and outflank it.

The football that came out of the siege was controlled by Ali outside the penalty area. As soon as the ball stopped, Zhang Zhibang stepped forward to intercept it. Ali turned around protecting the ball and knocked the ball back to Delphi. Wu Lei immediately stepped forward to press.

Delphi then passed the ball back to Barkley's feet, and Barkley immediately switched sides and played on the right.

After responding from the right, Sterling suddenly smashed the ball across to get rid of Luo Cheng, and then suddenly turned the ball to kill into the penalty area. Although he passed Huang Bozhou, the football was preempted by Cheng Renjun in the penalty area Kicked to the side, Li Lei ran out of the penalty area and passed the ball short before the football rolled out of the sideline.

Luo Cheng took possession of the ball from the backcourt and began to launch a fast break forward.

He pushed the ball forward all the way, and encountered Arnold when he came to the side of the midfield. At this time, he took the initiative to hit the ball across the middle.

Wu Lei took the initiative to respond, and Delph stepped forward to press. Unexpectedly, Wu Lei took control of the ball and turned around to retreat. Delph did not continue to attack, for fear that the deep press would cause the defense to be empty.

Zhao Fenghua strode forward and rushed forward. After receiving Wu Lei's pass, he turned the ball and bypassed Delphi. At this time, only the back line was left on the England team's defense line!

And when Zhao Fenghua waded the ball past halftime, Luo Cheng and Luo Xin rushed forward quickly, and after halftime they cut inside together to the back of England's back line!
Southgate's face was sinking, and the sharp counterattack of the Chinese team made him easily think of Liverpool's unparalleled counterattack in the Premier League in the past!
Liverpool is naturally a master of counterattacks. Whether it is Gareth Bale's galloping for thousands of miles in the past, or Mbappe's direct attack on Huanglong, he always destroys the opponent's defense line at a galloping speed!

Stones and Maguire retreated quickly, and Chilwell found that he had been escaped by the opponent when defending Luo Xin, and decisively helped defend the middle area. His goal was Zhao Fenghua!
When he was less than two meters away from Zhao Fenghua when he assisted in the defense, Zhao Fenghua put his foot on the ground and sent it straight!

The football rolled to the area behind Maguire, and Luo Xin turned offside during the run and grabbed the ball towards the middle of the penalty area before Maguire was in place.

Stones continued to return to the defense to kill him on the ball line.

Luo Xin judged the situation and saw that the space in front of Luo Cheng was empty, so he decisively passed the ball diagonally.

It was too late for Stones to make a sudden change to block Luo Cheng again.

At this time, Luo Cheng stopped the ball to meet the ball, adjusted a step, and then took a strong shot!

The football goes straight to the near corner of the goal!

Pickford did abide by the goalkeeper's job while moving and blocked the near corner of the goal.

When the football came flying, Pickford jumped forward, his posture was very graceful and ornamental, and he blocked the ball with both hands. It seemed that he was going to hug the ball, but he didn't expect the ball to sink heavily. He finally failed to hold the ball.

When Luo Cheng was about to make a follow-up shot, Arnold, who kept chasing all the way, cleared the ball out of the baseline first!
call!
All the Chinese fans sighed!

And the England fans feel terrified!
Almost lost the ball!
"Luo Cheng's shot was bravely saved by Pickford!
The Chinese team made a very obvious threat by counterattacking!

When the England team put pressure on the frontcourt and tried to bomb the Chinese team's goal, but the Chinese team relied on their solid defense to make the opponent return without success and created an excellent counterattack opportunity!
This is the attack method that the Chinese team likes. We are not afraid of the opponent's attack. In the past four years, Situ Yunbing's team has relied on defensive counterattacks to break through the opponent's defense line and break through the opponent's goal time and time again!

I look forward to the next time the Chinese team can seize the opportunity to send the ball into the goal of the England team! "

Southgate clapped his hands on the sidelines and ordered the team to be tougher. When dealing with the counterattack of the Chinese team, the foul must be decisively fouled!
If this cannot be done, the counterattack of the Chinese team will hit England's goal time and time again!
One thing you can't help but admit is that England's defense is not the best in the world!

If you want to become a world-class defense line, you must have at least two points, a world-class back line, and a world-class defensive midfielder.

The defensive midfielder and the central defender can form a defensive iron triangle, giving the defense a sense of hierarchy, and at the same time they can assist in defense and complement each other.

England has neither of these.

Even though Arnold is the world's number one right back, it's really not because of defense, and the full backs play a role in the defensive system, but they are not the backbone.

Stones, Maguire, Delphi, this is the iron triangle in England's defense line. Maguire's development has gradually improved over the years. Delphi is already a veteran, but Stones has entered his peak period. Still not invulnerable.

In this context, if England's defense does not adopt some aggressive tactical defensive measures, it will inevitably fall into a passive position.

In the 17th minute of the game, the England team attacked in the frontcourt. Barkley was not an obviously creative offensive organizer. The reason why Southgate ordered Ali to play the midfielder today was that Kane was injured and failed to start. Rashford's impact was insufficient, so an Alli was added to try to increase the threat, but this left Barkley alone to shoulder England's offensive organization.

At best, Barkley can make the offense transition smoothly, and it is impossible to expect his magical pass to tear the Chinese team's defense!
No matter how you look at the middle lane, you can't get in. With Huang Bozhou, Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua and Wu Lei's interception and harassment, Rashford and Ali really don't have a tacit connection in terms of cross-cutting and coordination. The more aggressive the attack, the better the way narrower.

Barkley still passed the ball diagonally to the wing.

This time Sterling went outside and went down to the bottom, easily getting rid of Luo Cheng's defense, and then he missed a cross, because the Chinese team's defense was tight, and Rashford was not the head of Ronaldo who could perform trapeze in the penalty area The ball hit the goal, so he dribbled and broke through the penalty area close to the baseline.

Facing Li Lei's blockade, Sterling dribbled the rhythm for a while, made a pass with his foot, but smashed the ball to the outside, and then suddenly accelerated to break through the penalty area!
Li Lei didn't dare to stretch his legs rashly. After all, he was inside the restricted area, so he could easily give the England team some points, so he turned around and chased. At this time, Cheng Renjun came up to intercept him head-on. Sterling wanted to change direction and break through again, but Cheng Renjun Preempting the position, Sterling kicked the ball to the middle of the goal at the cost of losing his balance before the baseline.

Shen Jingjie blocked the ball out of the baseline in front of the post.

Southgate looked sad on the sidelines, but Situ Yunbing frowned and gestured to the team, also asking the team to increase their defensive aggressiveness outside the penalty area!

Just like Li Lei's defense was a bit passive just now. If he sensed that Sterling was going to cut into the penalty area, he had to move out of the penalty area in advance to defend.
England's corner attack.

Arnold's corner kick was scrambled by Maguire in front of the penalty area, and his flick of the head went over the crossbar and flew into the stands.

"Although Maguire's header in the penalty area missed the goal, it was enough to attract the attention of the Chinese team. It can be said that the England team definitely has a certain advantage in set-piece offense. We must try to avoid giving the opponent a good set-piece attack opportunity. "

The Chinese team opened the goal kick and continued to fall in the backcourt. England immediately pressed the whole court. When the Chinese team started to launch a fast break, Luo Xin received a pass from Huang Bozhou on the right side of the frontcourt.

Just took two steps forward to face Chilwell passing the ball to the middle, Wu Lei stopped the ball and retreated under the defense of Delphi, but he was pulled to the ground by the opponent!
The referee blew his whistle to indicate a foul for Delphi, but did not play a card.

Situ Yun's face sank like water, and it seemed that the England team had also reacted and could not allow the Chinese team's counterattack to unfold smoothly.

The Chinese team got a free kick in the frontcourt, but at this time the England team's defense had retreated to the backcourt and it was very tight.

Situ Yunbing suddenly gestured to the generals of the Chinese team on the field, and the generals of the Chinese team understood!
After taking a free kick, Southgate saw the movement of the Chinese team and immediately wanted to curse!
