Head

136 Chapter 1 Unexpected [-]
The world is full of photos of Thirteen in the air. In the eyes of the fans, he is already omnipotent.

No one jumped out and yelled, because with Thirteen not conceding a goal, even if he was upset, he could only keep it in his heart.

Even if this trend only spread within a day after the game, the number of jealous people is still considerable.

For England, nearly a week of adjustment time is quite ample, which is the convenience of the group stage. They have already arrived at the next match, Cape Town, on the [-]th.

England's arrival was made a little easier with timely Cape Town preparing for Italy's match against Paraguay.

The next day the whole team came to the Green Point Stadium, the second largest stadium in South Africa, which played a very important role in this World Cup and will host a total of 8 games.

France was upset here before, but today, Italy has not been pleased. It seems that this land belongs to the South American team.

Paraguay made Buffon, the best goalkeeper of the last World Cup, suffer a loss in only 3 minutes of the opening game. Santa Cruz's long-range shot was not powerful, but I don't know whether it is the reason of the field or the inherent arc of football. After bouncing off the ground, he went straight to the center of the goal. Buffon, who had saved it, did not have the ability to return in the air, so he could only accept his first goal conceded in this World Cup depressed.

However, what made the England players even more happy was that the Italian forwards were obviously still in a downturn, and Paraguay's defense after the lead was not inferior to Italy.

The fault was that Gilardino had asked for a controversial penalty, and Italy really had no chance in this game.

It was just a score of 1 to 1, which also made the experts suspicious of Italy, and the low championship index dropped even more sadly.

Although they can't complain about Feng Shui, many game researchers still have doubts about England, which is about to play on this venue. Maybe this is not the blessed land of South America but the guillotine of Europe.

However, when the England game started, people had the illusion of a drunken dream.

England's starting lineup has not changed. Algeria's starting lineup is goalkeeper Gawawi, defenders Belhaj, Bougella, Haliche, Rajo, and midfielders Ziani, Lemokia, Mansouri, Yashi Ya, the forwards are Matt Moore and Hersal.

I still know a little about Ziani and several Manchester United players. They still played against each other in the Champions League match years ago. Wolfsburg still has some midfield strength. As for the others, except for a few names, most of them are Don't know, let alone understand.

But the players don't understand, but the head coach can't ignore it.

The head coach Rabah Saadani, the last time Algeria reached the World Cup finals, was also under his leadership. It can be said that this man is definitely a top-level meritorious coach in Algeria.

Under his training, although the team's individual strength is slightly weaker than that of the strong teams, the overall skills and tactics are more perfect than most African teams.In the African Cup at the beginning of the year, if they hadn't had an unfavorable schedule, Egypt might not have won the championship in the end.

For Capello, Group C looks weak, but it is quite difficult to face the tough bones of two continents one after another.

And the opponent defeated Slovenia in the first round, it is not guaranteed that this game will be like eating England.

But at the beginning of the game, England got a big piece of good news.The U.S. team drew with Slovenia in Johannesburg, and Algeria retained the second position. Under such a situation, the opponent may have concerns.

Capello's thinking is very realistic. Rabah Saadani was not willing to fight to the death in this game. After all, a tie may not necessarily lead to victory. It is better to keep a point and take the lead.

After the start of the game, England made a big push, and the long-range radio frequency appeared frequently.

Perhaps because they didn't have any ideas, the Algerian defenders seemed to be not working hard. In just a quarter of an hour, Gawawi had already made three saves.

England's momentum is unrelenting, with frequent attacks and quick passes. Whether it is Gerrard or Lampard, they are all looking for opportunities to shoot.

However, he couldn't attack for a long time, but he was somewhat slack.

Rarely affluent, Algeria seemed to have erupted, and the offensive came in like waves. For a while, England's defenses were frightened.

"Run! Let's fucking run!" Seeing the opponent's offensive, Thirteen had to shout frequently, first to alert his teammates, and second, to hope that he could make up for the gap created by the attack by running.

Even so, Algeria's attack has already reached the penalty area. Ziani has control of the ball. After the football is handed over to him, Barry has already pasted it. However, Ziani is still very clear about his ability and did not entangle with Barry. After stretching the position as far as possible, stuff the ball into the penalty area.

Matt Moore leaned on Ferdinand to catch the ball and slammed it behind him. The flexibility of his movements caught Ferdinand a little off guard. When he wanted to block the opponent with his body, Matt Moore had successfully controlled the ball and rushed down from the left. Go to the goal.

However, although Ferdinand couldn't stop the opponent, he could still squeeze him out. His elbows kept hitting and his hands pulled one after another. Matt Moore had no choice but to shoot ahead of time.

Although hasty, the speed of the ball should not be underestimated, and football is in motion, which actually brought a lot of difficulties to Shisan.

Fortunately, he chose his position well, and he didn't fall down blindly. Facing the oncoming football, he clenched his fists with both hands and shot up decisively.

Corner, Algeria gets their first corner of the game.

In terms of physical fitness alone, Algeria did not lose to England, but this group of England players are used to the toughness of the Premier League, and they use their bodies much better than Algeria.

The football was kicked out, and Terry forced Hesar to push the ball out, but unexpectedly, Barry, who was heading towards the ball, made a mistake. The football failed to stop, and Mansouri inserted from behind him. The power of the football to bounce back, take advantage of the trend, and the football went straight to the goal with a strong force.

Someone said before that Niu Shisan was very lucky. At that time, some people raised objections, but the fans who kicked off at the scene definitely admitted that they were lucky.

Mansouri's shot was quite explosive, and what was even more exciting was that the football hit Ferdinand's thigh and changed direction.

But luck is really strong and powerful. Thirteenth ago, he was blocked by his teammates and was adjusting. Mansouri shot. At this time, he was helpless, but the football was going to hit Ferdinand. It was flying towards the post. The football turned back to the middle, and Thirteen, who had already stepped forward, quickly recovered it, holding the ball with both hands to block it out of the goal.

Algeria, who got a corner kick again, did not have the chance before, and the process of the game gradually became flat, and the next wave of attacks was still brewing.
