Chapter 123 Warm-up Match 2
It was only the first start in the England national team, and the second game, Thirteen seemed to have stepped into the altar.Many people have already affirmed that Thirteen will be England's starting goalkeeper, and will even control the Crusaders' portal in the next ten years.

While people were discussing endlessly, some people put forward different opinions. The reason is that Capello’s goal has been aimed at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and beyond. If there is no accident, the Italian coach is likely to build a nest in England. Looking at the players he brought, it goes without saying that Niu Shi is 38 years old, excluding Owen, the biggest striker, Rooney can at least play until the 2016 European Championship.

Walcott is only 21 years old, Abang Lahuo is more than 23 and less than 24, and he may not be expected to play this year. These two people will only be selected more times in the future.Defoe is 28 years older, and if he is in a stable state two years later, he can still help him. What makes Capello more attractive now is that he is in good shape.In this way, if Capello hadn't aimed at a few years later, how could he easily take young people to participate in the World Cup.

Of course, the midfielder is a bit older, which is the stable requirement of the Italians for the defense. Even so, there are still post-90s like Mike, and except for Beckham and Lampard, none of the midfielders are over 30 years old.

On the defensive line, Glenn Johnson is 26, Richards is 22, and everyone else is around 30 years old. This is the golden age structure of a defender. Of course, in today's football environment, it seems a bit older.

But most of these so-called old guys will still be able to play well after two or three years!
Under such circumstances, even though Capello himself claimed that he could only reach the European Championships, people have to doubt that he has the possibility of reaching 2014 or even further.

Of course, these are only speculations, and this kind of argument is just to calm down the many debates. After a few days of trouble, people are no longer so enthusiastic. After all, arguing about something that everyone agrees is really boring.

At this time, the second warm-up match before the World Cup is about to start. The opponent is Ghana. The goal is of course to understand the playing style of African teams.

At the beginning of the year, England played a friendly match with Egypt, the defending African Cup of Nations champion. In the World Cup qualifiers, it was Algeria that blocked the Egyptian's dream of going to South Africa.

In that game, Thirteen was not selected for Capello's national team, because it happened to catch up with the injury, and he didn't even watch the game. Now this is his first time facing an African team. Of course, he entered a new team. The team will have a lot of problems for the first time, such as the first goal conceded.

Thirteen's impression of Ghana is only a Chelsea midfielder named Essien.

In this year's Africa Cup of Nations, Ghana lost to Egypt and missed the championship. The reason why Capello chose Ghana is also clear. Compare and compare.

As expected by most fans, Shisan really appeared in the starting position. At this time, no matter how suspicious the fans were, they had to admit that Capello was accumulating game experience for Niu Shisan. There are still differences in the game. The biggest problem is tacit understanding. Fortunately, the defense in front of Shisan is constantly changing this season, and he is not too awkward to deal with it.

On the back line, everyone except Terry was replaced, and Upson, Richards and Ashley Cole started.

In the midfield, Carrick and Gerrard partnered in the middle, while Janus was on the left, and Mike was surprisingly sent on the right. It seems that Capello is not very good at using Mike. Sure, right, that's where Mike played the least in midfield.But now no one would have any objection to this, especially now, everything can be blamed on the expedition team.Beckham is definitely a substitute. It is not so much that England needs him, it is better to say that Capello uses him to put out the fire. While blocking the fans' holes, he has to deal with unfavorable situations. The status of the national team has been completely reduced to a handyman, without real power, but worrying about everything.

As for the striker, it is the Manchester United combination, Rooney and Owen.

If Thirteen was lucky in the last game, then today he seemed to have run out of luck. At least at the moment of conceding the goal, everyone thought his luck was really bad.

England rushed to attack at the beginning, and it seemed that Capello didn't want to be as passive as the previous game.However, the offense alone does not necessarily lead to goals, although the attacking group used on the field is basically Manchester United's attack group.

On the contrary, it gave Garner several chances to counterattack, especially in the first one. Richards was obviously not used to defending Asamoah when he defended Asamoah, and he directly brought the opponent down when he was approaching the penalty area.

Garner wins a free kick in the attacking half.

If it's just a free kick, there's nothing to worry about in Shisan's current state.

But man is not as good as God.

Thirteen, who was asked to study Ji'an before the game, thought that this man's free kick was not very good, much worse than the well-known free kick expert.

However, no matter what kind of free kick it is, as long as it is taken, it is an opportunity to bypass the man's ball.

Ji An's free kick really bypassed Manchester United's human wall, and it was not an arc, but a straight pass.

Thirteen was a little stunned. This kind of tactical coordination is generally not used in games, because the defense is too easy, and basically there is no threat.

But because it is too easy, everyone's attention is on the top of the head and under the feet, preventing the opponent from crossing or shooting directly, but splitting the side, oh my god, the nearest to you is Mike, but he is not as good as the wall Not much, because he was on the edge of the penalty area to defend the opponent's cross and long shot.

The one who received the ball was a man named Annan. After getting the ball, this man went straight to the front of the small penalty area. Seeing the chaos in the penalty area in England, defense and offense seemed to have no priority. Annan decisively crossed when Upson defended him. Biography, because Thirteen has been added to the previous point.

At this time, Thirteen really had no other choice. One supplement counted as one. As for passing the ball, he could only hope for his teammates. In fact, his choice seemed to be correct. The opponent did not shoot, and the route of passing the ball Also blocked by Terry.

Unfortunately, at this time, Terry made a decisive clearance and did not give Asamoah any chance, but what is so surviving is that Terry did not make a clearance this time, and stabbed the ball hastily.The football flew out of the penalty area without any arc rotation.

If the penalty area is empty, such a ball is no problem, but at this time the chaotic penalty area does not know how many feet, and the football just hits the forward calf.

It rebounded without any suspense, and the angle was quite strange. Table tennis players should know what a "swing racket" is. This time, the football is a swing racket.

Shisan was stunned, what is this, comfort?mercy?Or simply ridicule?This damn football!
The referee's whistle gave Shisan a chance to vent, the goal was scored, and the game restarted.

Thirteen's vengeful big foot kicked the ball, and the football flew directly over the halfway line. Ghana's backcourt players all went to celebrate, and the football flew straight into the opponent's goal in a daze.

The referee was also stunned, but his reaction was quick, and he quickly drew a card against Thirteen and it was a, uh, yellow card, okay!The referee intended to give a red card. Looking at Thirteen, who was obviously stunned, he thought about it for a while and felt that he was just a child. He was just a little dazed after conceding a goal, so he softened his hand a little, and the red card turned into a yellow card.

Fortunately, this is a warm-up match, and no one came to criticize.However, those fans who have their own tendencies have begun to doubt Thirteen's attitude. If this is the case because of conceding goals, then there will only be more conceding goals.

He failed to catch the ball, but was humiliated by the ball, scored a goal inexplicably, and was embarrassed by the yellow card.

What happened in just 1 minute is enough for Thirteen to remember for a lifetime. Of course, many things on the court do not last for nine to 10 minutes, and the impression is only the ups and downs.

That is, Shisan's behavior made many teammates feel embarrassed, and they all came to comfort him.

Only Mike understood the reason for Shisan's displeasure. It was because the football entered the goal, but he didn't make a save. It seemed that he couldn't react in time, but the fact was that he was powerless.Because he retreated from the front point to the middle goal, Terry instinctively relaxed after making a clearance, and when the ball bounced back, he could no longer make a save.

Fortunately, this ball also woke him up. There is no thinking on the football field, only reality. Everything imagined will be shattered, unless you can imagine everyone on the field, including the referee.

After conceding the goal, England really showed their momentum. The Three Lions will not admit defeat easily. Besides, all the players now have to prove their strength in order to get a ticket to South Africa when the final player is selected, and this can be delayed. Air tickets with family and mouth, the FA did these things in the World Series to make other teams envious.

The football was handed over to Mike. I don’t know when Mike has transitioned into a dispatcher. Maybe it’s because his passing is really accurate and his consciousness is quite in place!

Mike didn't stick to the ball too much. After controlling the ball and attracting the opponent's attention, he decisively pushed the ball to Gerrard in the middle. Janus on the left, the Tottenham midfielder who is likely to replace Barry on the left, took the ball and broke straight into the penalty area. When everyone was paying attention to whether he shot or passed, behind him A person sprang out, and the football did not know when it reached the person's feet. With a snap, he pushed his left foot horizontally, and Owen hit the back point.

The goal was scored, and England equalized the score soon after conceding a goal.The England fans who have been stationed in London for a long time these days are full of excitement, and the cooperation should be like this!
It was Irving who scored the goal, and this was the only way to ensure his World Cup ticket!Of course, at this time, many fans, especially Arsenal fans, expected Walcott to play and score goals.You can't let Manchester United's players focus on the front.

Ghana's goalkeeper Jinsen felt calm and kicked the ball back to the midfield gently.

The entire Ghanaian players did not seem to have any emotional fluctuations. Perhaps the Africa Cup of Nations at the beginning of the year had made them more stable. After all, compared with Egypt, which finally won the championship, their finals were fully tempered.

Now that Essien has returned, although he did not start this game, but based on his understanding of English football, playing in midfield will be a great threat to England.

The game gradually turned into a test of offense and defense. After all, this is just a warm-up match. There is no need to fight to the death. Ghana is consciously restraining. Although England wants to score goals, the speed of football transfer has slowed down unknowingly.

The situation of hand-to-hand combat rarely occurs, but the game looks fierce, and the first half is over before people know it.

In the second half, the two sides began to rotate extensively. Beckham replaced Carrick and Lampard replaced Gerrard, which moved Mike to the midfielder position.

Abanglahuo replaced Irving, and the goal hero got a lot of applause, but people wondered if it was because of Thirteen, who was off the field at the same time.

Capello replaced Shisan with Green. In the eyes of some thoughtful people, it seemed that Capello made adjustments because of Thirteen's conceded goals. It seemed that he still had scruples about this young goalkeeper.

However, the statement at halftime was not known to outsiders.

"Thirteen, come down and take a break. This is your third game in five days! By the way, let me summarize the gains and losses of these games." Yes, after two days after the Champions League final, I returned to England and changed teams. The defenders played directly against Mexico, and then Ghana. Originally, this kind of warm-up match should be a team in one game, but now Shisan is a bit overworked.

And Capello just hopes that Thirteen can concede a goal before the World Cup, so that even if there is a psychological impact, he can quickly adjust back.

Outsiders don't know, but some people can guess it, such as Ferguson, of course he understands the reason, but many fans feel wronged at this time, wronged for Shisan, isn't it just conceding a goal, what's the big deal, That ball, try another person, who dares to say that he will definitely be able to save it.

It's just that these dissatisfaction were quickly drowned in the shouts of the game.

The kid named Mike got his first national team goal, a penalty, I don't know why Lampard let him play, but he did his part, because the penalty was made by his pass, Rooney who was tripped I don't mind, so Mike played with peace of mind.

It's just that his shot looks a bit revengeful. Judging by the strength, a timid goalkeeper might not dare to move.

Even with Thirteen's reaction, this kind of ball can't stand it, and Jin Sen, who made a mistake in his prediction, is quite fortunate. After all, he has to bear the risk of injury when making a save like that. Reimbursed.

After scoring the goal, Mike howled excitedly at the England bench, as if calling for spring, which made Avril in the stands annoyed by Anne's bad friends.

Listen to what those women who lack love have to say.

"Your Mike used to like to bark, so when you did that, who could bark louder!"

"It turns out that he is also gay! It seems that he can communicate with each other!"

"Little MM, if he doesn't want you anymore, just follow me!"
