Chapter 51 The Wall of Sigh

With the long whistle from Russian referee Young Grove, Spain's top scorer Villa kicked the ball to Pedro, and then the ball began to pass quickly at Espanyol's feet.

Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Garcia and Busquets began to run in a small range, pass the ball, run again, and pass the ball again.

Tiki-Taka, which originated from Barcelona, ​​was presented to the English. Although this smooth running and passing seemed very pleasing at the beginning, it was still very boring after a long time, especially as the opponent of the Spanish team. If you cannot touch the ball for a long time, it will cause psychological irritability, and thus some small mistakes were caught by the Spanish team and launched a fast and fatal attack. The Spanish team did not fail to get up quickly, but they used the change in the rhythm of the game as a killer move, which often penetrated the opponent's defense loopholes in the moment of sudden acceleration, causing the opponent to be killed before he could react.

However, this time the opponents the Spanish team encountered were different from the past. When they controlled the ball continuously, the English team's formation also retreated. Wang Tiezhu, Lampard and Gerrard kept moving back and forth on almost the same level, just not allowing the opponent to penetrate easily. Rooney and Jonny Hausen were responsible for the task of harassing the opponent's pass. As for Darren Bent, he always stood in front and followed him.

After three minutes of the game, facing the calmness of England, listening to the harsh booing sounded at Wembley Stadium, Espanyol finally couldn't stand it. For too long, the ball control will not only make the opponent bored, but also lose the rhythm of the game.

"Bang!"

As the Spanish midfield commander, Xavi finally sent the ball forward and passed it straight. The ball was originally sent to Villa who ran up from the diagonal line, but the ball flew past Lampard and had already retreated to the penalty area line and rushed out with a "scarlet" moment.

"mine!"

Wang Tiezhu shouted, "It's more than three meters away from the ball, and his center of gravity sank downwards, and a fierce sliding shovel went straight to the ball!"

"Gourd" Villa is a very flexible player, but no matter how flexible he faces Wang Tiezhu's fierce sliding shovel, he has no choice but to face Wang Tiezhu's fierce sliding shovel. He is a bit inferior to Wang Tiezhu in speed. If he wants to force the ball, the two must have a fierce collision. Although Wang Tiezhu's feet are pressed very low and there is no bright soles, Villa knows that if he really fights head-on, he will definitely be the one who suffers!

In desperation, Villa jumped over from the half-lying Wang Tiezhu...

"Beautiful! Shaq's tackle was really fierce, decisive and accurate! The Spanish team's first attempt to attack was forced back! Now it's our turn to attack..."

After grabbing the ball, Wang Tiezhu climbed up neatly: "Steven!"

"Bang!"

Wang Tiezhu swung his thighs and kicked the ball to Gerald on the right side with a long mid-range pass of 25 meters.

After Gerald stopped the ball, Spain's left-back No. 3 Jose Enrique rushed to him, but "Bunzi" did not dribble the ball with great help, but turned around and kicked the ball with one kick.

Bang!

The ball was kicked out from the right and close to the center line by Gerald, but flew behind the Spanish defender Puyol on the other side of the left.

"Jonny Hausen! It's so fast!"

Jonny Hausen was like an arrow from the string, and the rapid frequency of both legs seemed to have turned into a phantom. He turned out to be stronger than Puyol who had returned to defense.

ah!?

So fast!?

Gerald was also a little surprised. According to his observation, Jonny Hausen, a little guy from the "Youth Guards", was still not slow, but this quick sprint like a sports car still surprised him. Naturally, he would not know that Wang Tiezhu used 2 teammate bonus skill points in this game to use Jonny Hausen's explosive power, which increased the explosive power value of Leeds United's captain from 16 to 18, and he felt a little crazy as if he had taken stimulants.

"Middle Road! Middle Road!"

While chasing back, Puyol shouted and gave instructions to his teammates. Whether in Barcelona or Spain, he was the commander on the defense line. Ramos was injured and unable to play in this game, so the Spanish team changed to play three defenders. Although there was only one Pique who was not very stable in the middle, the double midfielder formed by Alonso and Busquets could provide considerable help to the Spanish team's defense.

After Pique made up for the wing from the middle, Alonso and Busquets also ran to the penalty area to play the role of central defender. In addition to Puyol's quick return to defense, the Spanish team's defense was quickly organized.

Jonny Hausen's movements were very fast. After controlling the ball, he made a fake move to cut the ball with his left foot when facing Pique. Without Pique's shaking, he still forcibly rushed towards the bottom line, and... he succeeded!

"Jonny Hausen, make a decisive breakthrough! Pique is too slow!"

"Bang!"

The ball flew out from Jonny Hausen's feet and flew to the Spanish goal along a not-too-high arc. Darren Bent in the middle and "Little Fat" on the right were already in place. Even Darren Bent in the middle could not complete the attack under the clamping of Alonso and Busquets, Rooney, who was carrying Jose Enrique in the back, could serve as the end point of England's attack.

However, as England's quick counterattack was about to pose a threat...

"Bang!"

A pair of gloved palms suddenly appeared next to the ball flying in the air, and he steadily took the ball off in the air!

"oh----"

"Casillas! Alas! What a pity this opportunity!"

A sigh rang out of Wembley Stadium!

There was no change in expression on Casillas' calm face, as if this time it was a trivial matter to take off his opponent's pass from the air.

Although "madman" Mourinho took over Real Madrid, he only used the Spanish goalkeeper as a substitute because of his conflict with Casillas this season, "Saint Casillas" is the best goalkeeper in Spanish football history after all, and his existence is crucial to the Spanish team. Otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve such a brilliant record with the fragile defense of Spain. The 31-year-old Casillas' form is obviously not affected by the unfair treatment of the club and is still very outstanding.

After blocking the attack from England, the Spanish team controlled the ball again, which was also the safest way to play. After all, there was only one ball. If it was under their feet, the opponent would not have a chance to attack. This is the football philosophy of Barcelona and Spain.

However, the Spanish team's advantage was not obvious in this game. When their No. 6 Garcia cooperated with Puyol on the right, Lampard defended Garcia tightly, forcing Garcia to pass the ball to the side, and the route became somewhat biased. Then Jonny Hausen suddenly exploded and snatched the ball before Puyol, and followed the trend and started to break through again.

"asshole!"

Garcia, who saw his pass was cut off, roared and followed directly!

"Bang!"

Jonny Hausen kicked the ball far forward and then accelerated and tried to break through forcibly. In this game, he could feel that his condition was so good. The rapid feeling in terms of rapid acceleration was really wonderful.

In a moment—

It's just a moment!

Jonny Hausen's speed exceeded Garcia and was already half ahead of his position!

Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but grin when he saw this. It seemed that the skill points added by his teammates were really not used for Jonny Hausen. His speedup was significantly improved!

But the next moment, the smile on Wang Tiezhu's face turned into anger, and Garcia directly reached out to pull Jonny Hausen down!

"Foof! This should be considered a tactical foul, and the referee should show a yellow card!"

"Ding--"

The whistle of Russian referee Young Grove did sound, but he did not show a yellow card, but only warned Garcia who reached out to Jonny Hausen. Perhaps it was because the nature of the game itself was just a friendly match, and the referee's penalty was relatively loose.

In the following time, until the game was thirty minutes, the game situation was still in a stalemate...

The English team's offense lacks exquisite cooperation, but its impact and speed are definitely commendable. "Little Fatty" Rooney is very active on the right, and even Jonny Hausen frequently hits the opponent's defense line on the left. His weak state in the last game was completely gone, but it turned into a sharp knife on the left of England.

The three Wang Tiezhu, Lampard, Gerrard and England's back line also form a strong defensive system, which makes Espanyol's smooth attack impossible. As long as the ball flies into the air, Espanyol can only be a spectator, so they can only persevere in the ground attack. But even so, the experienced "magic lamp" and "baozi" can also judge the pass route of the Spaniard, while Wang Tiezhu, who has speed and physical advantages, can expand his defense range and interfere with the Spanish team's offense with a 100% defense rate.

As a result, Espanyol failed to form a threatening attack after thirty minutes of the game. And every time their offense advanced to the midfield, it seemed like they encountered a wall of sighs, and even the ball was controlled and passed became stagnant.

On the contrary, the England counterattacks made the Spanish team's fragile defense seem precarious. The back line composed of Puyol, Pique, Jose Enrique, plus Alonso and Busquets, the pair of double midfielders, can only keep fighting while defending to ensure that their team's goal is not conquered.
