At the beginning of the game, England launched a fierce attack.

"Harry Kane makes the ball! Sterling shoots! Danger!"

"

boom!

The ball was pushed out by Liu Kairui with his chest, but Lucai squeezed Ali's position and passed the ball forward.

Ouyang Fei quickly controlled the ball and passed it forward to Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang turned his back to get the ball, but as soon as he released the ball, Maguire behind him squeezed him away.

Maguire's strength and physical confrontation ability are maximized when facing a less flexible forward like Chen Xiang.

However, Chen Xiang also raised his hands immediately when he fell to the ground, and the referee indicated that it was a push from behind.

The Chinese team has saved an opportunity to move forward.

But even so, for Chinese fans and commentators, after the game started, they were still worried.

"England's desire to attack is extremely strong, especially the forward penetration from the wing and the penetration of passing and dribbling." He Wei said anxiously.

Zhang Lu: "A certain way of advancement should be cut off. England cannot be allowed to play so relaxedly."

That's what they say, but the intensity is completely different.

Compared with the opponents that the Chinese team has encountered before, England's overall intensity is much higher.

This puts a bit more pressure on them, not to mention the rhythm. The players' personal abilities alone are enough for them to bear.

Especially Sterling, this guy's performance in advancing is so brilliant.

England currently hands the ball to Sterling and lets the opponent advance.

Lucky was also anxious. He knew that continuing like this was not the answer.

You must curb the other party's desire to penetrate.

Lucky set his sights on Sterling. This guy jumped too much in this game.

"This is the overall strength gap. Even if Kai's ability is very strong, he can't be used." Old God Meadows said thoughtfully.

Consistent with his thoughts before the game, England has great suppression ability when facing the Chinese team.

This also makes their game process relatively easy.

Sterling also performed better based on this gap.

Of course, you can't say it too early.

Based on Meadows' understanding of Lucky, Lucky will always take some action at this time.

The Chinese team's set kick in the frontcourt was too far away from the goal, so they just tried a wave of offense and immediately returned to the defensive again.

England also quickly completed the press, regained control of the ball at their feet, and immediately advanced.

The ball went through two consecutive passes and came to Sterling's feet again.

Sterling is currently England's backbone in pushing forward. When pushing forward, Sterling is basically looked to.

As soon as Sterling got the ball, he immediately turned around and walked the ball over and over along the wing, choosing to break through.

But as soon as he took two steps, Lucai suddenly pressed forward, blocking his breakthrough path in advance.

Sterling has the option of passing the ball, but he is no longer the same person as before. Based on his many wonderful passes during the World Cup and the boost of confidence, he chose to pass Lucky this time.

He lowered his center of gravity, sped up his feet, and began to shake his center of gravity in an attempt to deceive Lucky.

But Lucky was very focused and kept his eye on the ball without making any wrong judgments.

Sterling secretly felt troubled.

Most of the opponents we met before had already made quick moves at this time, but Lucai was too calm.

For this reason, Sterling can only take the lead.

The ball went to the left, and Sterling chose to pass Lucky directly.

This is also a method commonly used by Sterling in this World Cup. He is aware that many defensive players do not dare to make overly strong defensive actions on a large stage like the World Cup.

But what he faced was Lucai.

Lucky didn't care about these things. Based on his confidence in himself, the moment Sterling stepped forward, Lucky turned around and bumped Sterling with his shoulder.

This impact is to slow down the opponent. After all, if he started normally, Lucky would not be able to catch up with Sterling.

When the two bodies accelerated in a relatively balanced manner due to the collision, Lucai made adjustments at his feet. When approaching the ball, he fell to the ground with a sliding tackle and directly reached the ball with his toes.

Upon seeing this, Sterling immediately jumped to prevent himself from being injured.

“FXXK!

"

After Sterling landed, he yelled.

He wanted to chase Lucky, but after the latter got up, he immediately passed the ball.

The whole process was clean and neat, without any sloppiness.

This made Sterling extremely unhappy.

The camera happened to be focused on Sterling, and everyone saw the depression on Sterling's face.

“Steal the ball!

pretty! Wonderful steal! "

He Wei shouted.

Zhang Lu also looked excited and said: "It depends on Lucai. Sterling's choice is already very good, but Lucai is full of confidence in defense. He can defend neatly, even in this kind of situation." Same thing with the vicious slide tackle."

"On the stage of the World Cup, many defensive players do not dare to make dangerous defensive moves. On the one hand, they are afraid of getting cards, and on the other hand, they do not have enough confidence!"

"But Lucky is not this kind of player. His movements are smooth and neat. Sterling passed many players in previous games, but finally failed here with Lucky."

Seizing the ball from Sterling's feet will greatly improve the morale of the Chinese team.

This means that the Chinese team has the ability to steal England's advance and counterattack.

This counterattack also gave the Chinese team a chance to shoot in the frontcourt.

Chen Man's long-range shot went slightly over the crossbar, shocking the English fans into a cold sweat.

Meadows did the same, wiping sweat from his palms.

From the moment Sterling was intercepted, he felt bad.

“Kai’s steal was real”

Billy clutched his chest and said, "I'm scared to death! We also need to be careful about the Chinese team's counterattack."

Both of their eyes were fixed on Lucky, who was on the defensive.

In the past, they enjoyed Lucky's defensive security with peace of mind.

Lucky is the captain of Arsenal and one of them.

At that time, they just felt at ease, but at this moment, when Lucky stood opposite them, they felt the pressure from Lucky's steal.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Don't try to get past him, asshole!"

Wilshere cursed angrily.

Before the game, they had already discussed that if Lucai was determined to steal, they would pass the ball as much as possible.

But Sterling still forced himself on and almost allowed the Chinese team to score.

This was something he couldn't accept.

No one understands Lucky's defensive intensity better than Wilshere.

But this guy Sterling has a rude personality. After he enjoys himself, he doesn't care about other people's feelings.

The ball went to Sterling again.

But Sterling felt the pressure behind him as soon as he received the ball.

Yes!

Lucky posted it.

Seeing Lucky's action, Wilshere's expression changed. He immediately followed up and signaled Sterling to pass back.

But this guy clung to Lucai and looked left and right, obviously looking for an opportunity to break through.

At this moment, Sterling pulled the ball to the left, created a gap, and wanted to pass the ball to Harry Kane from the gap.

As soon as his left foot touched the ball, he felt something blocking the ball and was unable to exert force.

Sterling was tripped to the ground, but Lucky completely controlled the ball at his feet.

"asshole!

"

Wilshere cursed angrily and immediately rushed towards Lucky.

Wilshere's body is not strong, but this guy's fighting spirit is always high.

He immediately got attached to Lucky.

The latter was not used to this club teammate. After many physical confrontations between the two, Lucai squeezed past from the side and passed the ball to Chen Man.

Chen slowly caught the ball, turned around and started sprinting.

But Kyle Walker also quickly followed suit.

The two men were racing wildly on the wing. Chen Man failed to get rid of Kyle Walker. As a last resort, Chen Man could only choose to pass in.

The ball passed into the penalty area, and no surprise, Chen Xiang was suppressed by Maguire.

Maguire pushed the ball away, but the Chinese team's offense failed to pose a threat.
