Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Southgate's idea today was very simple.

Kane was injured, so Rice and Carwin were moved forward, the midfielder's ball control ability was strengthened during the attack, and the two wingers were immediately moved back during the defense, playing 541.

The first half was mainly defensive.

In the second half, Chen Chen and Mount were substituted to strengthen the midfield's offensive ability.

Then Grealish was substituted to serve as the offensive explosive point.

23rd minute.

Germany got a corner kick opportunity.

Kroos hung the ball into the penalty area.

190 Rudiger headed it a little!

A header!

The header was too straight, directly into Pickford's arms!

Southgate on the sidelines rushed to the field and shouted loudly!

Counterattack! There is a counterattack opportunity!

Pickford ran to the penalty area line and threw the ball directly with a strong hand!

Find Rashford in front!

Rashford made a very flexible left and right counter-run, avoiding Hummels' close defense!

After that, Master La faced Goretzka one-on-one!

Goretzka's wave was to fill Hummels' vacancy.

But Rashford did not give him a chance to make up for the defense, and raised his leg to find Sterling who was also running on the left!

In the current England team, the fastest is Chen Chen, this is beyond doubt, after all, the fastest Kyle Walker was almost pulled by Chen Chen.

Who are the third, fourth and fifth fastest?

That is Rashford and Sterling.

Diallo once said that Rashford is the fastest in Manchester United, and the second fastest is Martial.

Kyle Walker also said that Sterling is very fast, but it is more of a joke.

The fastest in the German team should be Sane, but the former Manchester City winger and current Bayern star is sitting on the bench.

On the court, Sterling took a few quick steps and received Rashford's pass smoothly!

Neuer quickly took a few steps to the right, bent slightly, and was ready to save at any time!

Magnetic card quickly gave up Rashford and turned back to stare at the possible route of Rashford and Sterling's passing again.

In other words, Magnetic card can only pray that Neuer has an excellent save performance, and now he is the only goalkeeper in front of Rashford!

However, after Sterling dribbled into the penalty area, Goretzka still gritted his teeth and took a step towards Sterling's route.

And at this critical moment, Sterling passed the ball again!

Rashford easily pushed the ball.

Neuer in front of the goal had no time to turn around and save!

"Rashford! Goretzka is guarding him!"

"Pass it to Sterling, no problem."

"It's going to be a one-on-one!"

"Gretzka! Intercept with Neuer!"

"Sterling knocked it across!"

"Rashford got the ball again!"

"Push it into the empty goal!"

"1-0!"

"England, who defended for nearly 20 minutes, was the first to score!"

"Southgate's tactics worked!"

"Pickford's hand throw was too crucial!"

"The German team's front midfielder had no time to return to defense!"

"This is also the shortcoming of the 3412 formation. When your two tall defenders come up to participate in the corner attack, there will definitely be a considerable gap in your back line."

"England has found a great opportunity!"

The broadcast camera immediately found Löw on the sidelines, and the 61-year-old German coach looked a little stunned.

Then Löw quickly called his assistant to explain something.

Southgate on the other side jumped up excitedly!

After shaking hands with everyone on the team, Southgate waved his hands a few times at the cheering English fans!

"I swear, I will never criticize Nanmen again!"

"Nanmen! Forever God!"

"What is Loew doing? When taking a corner kick, he only leaves Hummels behind? Saying that England is the Chinese team in Europe is a joke, do you take it seriously?"

"It's amazing, Kroos took a corner kick, Gosens didn't come back, and the defense was crushed. Chen Chen hasn't even played yet, what will happen if he plays?"

"Dismiss! Dismiss! Dismiss!"

This goal instantly ignited the passion of Wembley Stadium!

All the Three Lions fans were excited!

Sure enough, there is a reason why Southgate can be the head coach.

Although sometimes he is really bad, sometimes he can really bring surprises to people!

Chen Chen on the bench also applauded Rashford who scored the goal. The team's lead made him very happy!

Although it is nice to see a substitute come on to reverse the situation when the score is behind, who would be willing to work so hard when they can "win without doing anything"?

Like Manchester City in the league and Real Madrid in the Champions League, wouldn't it be nice to lead and crush the past?

After the celebration, the Three Lions players walked back to the center circle.

The game continues.

Southgate continued to ask the team to focus on defense, just like just now, just play defense and counterattack.

Löw changed the formation.

Gosens went back, Havertz went forward, and Germany changed to 442.

This formation is more defensive.

It seems that Löw was really shocked by Southgate.

After changing the formation, the German team did not rush at the beginning, they were afraid of being hit by England again.

In the following time, neither side had too many opportunities to threaten the opponent's goal. In the end, Markel blew the whistle to end the half-time game, and England temporarily led Germany 1-0!

Southgate put his hands in his pockets and walked into the player tunnel first.

Löw looked solemn, and the confidence of the past was no longer there.

The Germans realized that it was indeed the most tense moment for the German tank!

In the Migu studio, the data of the first half of the game was also sorted out.

Germany had more than 65% possession but only 6 shots, two of which were on target.

On the other hand, the English, who had only 35% possession, created a good data of 7 shots and 4 shots on target!

It can be said that Southgate's tactics today were perfect.

He thought about the German defense line well!

Löw was different.

Löw was simply confused and forgot what the German team was good at.

A team that is good at combining the wing and the middle and long passes directly abandoned the center forward and switched to ground control.

The play was very nondescript.

Do you think Werner is good?

He must be good, otherwise he would not go to Chelsea to play as a striker.

But today this Chelsea striker is not even a wooden stake, and there is no such person.

I can only say that if there was a Phil Kruger in the frontcourt, the Three Lions would not play so comfortably.

But this is Löw's stubbornness.

In the away team's locker room, Loew was racing against time to make tactical and positional arrangements.

In the home team's locker room, Southgate did not make any tactical changes.

The defense was slightly flawed in the first half, but it didn't affect anything.

He was mainly cheering for the players!

The England-Germany battle, more than 50 million English people are watching!

Not to mention that there are Little Golden Retriever and Sister Mo on the rostrum.

The second half will start again.

Before leaving the player tunnel, Southgate asked Grealish, Chen Chen, Henderson and Mount to warm up.

At the right time, he will make substitutions!
