Chapter 52: Have the capital

Boske is not satisfied with his team's performance, but he is not dissatisfied with it. The Spanish players are still reasonable, but this time the England team they encountered and the England team in the past have changed so much!

After the "Three Lions" midfielder joined the two kids Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen, the changes can always be described as earth-shaking.

Hodgson's knowledgeable people made good use of them completely allow Wang Tiezhu, Jonny Hausen, Lampard and Gerald to play the best in the midfield.

The first is Gerald's complete liberation. Although "Bunzi" is already a veteran over 30 years old, he is still in excellent condition and has rich game experience. When the defensive burden he shoulders is taken over by Wang Tiezhu, Gerald regained his youth. His active running and outstanding overall view can completely make up for the weakness of his personal skills and become active on the entire right.

Because Lampard is older, he actually no longer has the strong impact of his youth. Instead, this position similar to the all-round midfielder can allow him to show his best "magic lamp".

However, in Boske's opinion, Lampard and Gerrard's performance was just normal. The two young boys who really brought changes to England were the two young boys. Jonny Hausen performed very well in the last game against the Netherlands, but this time his assault ability was fully demonstrated. So far, no one of the Spanish players can stop him in 1VS1 unless they use foul tactics.

Wang Tiezhu, nicknamed "Sak", made Bosque feel even more depressed. With such a young midfielder, how could he disrupt the Spanish team's offense again and again? Xavi, Iniesta, Garcia, Pedro and others are all offensive experts, but this kid cannot play with his powerful running ability. The role of 100% visit rate is really terrifying. Even if you cannot directly cut off the ball under your feet, such a robbery ability is excellent and a strong person is always blocking it. You can't ignore it. Be careful when passing and controlling the ball, and the rhythm of the attack will naturally not be able to play.

As an old coach who led the Spanish team to win the world championship, Bosque's experience and vision are of course top-notch, and he rarely makes mistakes.

After the game was thirty-three minutes, England attacked from the right and pulled Rooney to the right and passed the ball back to Gerald. After "Bunzi" stopped the ball with his left foot, he immediately transferred the ball to the middle with his right foot.

Originally, the person who was active here was Lampard, and the breakthrough ability of the "magic lamp" was quite average, so Alonso adopted a defensive strategy that was also three or four meters away from Lampard. A little control could block Lampard's breakthrough. At the same time, if the ball was passed to Lampard, Alonso could also choose the defense method calmly.

But this time, the person who appeared on Gerald's passing route was not the "magic lamp" Lampard, but... Jonny Hausen!

"Bang!"

After Jonny Hausen stopped the ball with his left foot, he immediately turned around and used his right foot to push the ball forward. The explosive force of up to 18 was suddenly exerted, and his speed increased from a distance of two or three meters.

What!?

Alonso looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. Although this was the first time Jonny Hausen had run to the middle in this game, Alonso suddenly felt that he could not stop him, and the speed was too fast!

"Bang!"

Seeing Alonso come over, Jonny Hausen took the ball to his right front, and a slight change of direction made him shake Alonso away. As long as he leads forward two or three meters away, he can rush into the Spanish team's penalty area!

But at this moment, Alonso stretched out his foot and reached Jonny Hausen's left foot...

"ah!"

"Ding--"

Amid the referee's whistle, Jonny Hausen staggered forward and rolled on the ground twice!

"Oh! Jonny's breakthrough is so sharp. Alonso can only use fouls to stop Jonny! This young man's condition in this game is so great! He seems to have saved all his efforts in the last game against the Netherlands until today!"

"Joney Hausen won a set piece for the team! This is a very dangerous position, just three meters away from the right side of the top of the penalty area, about twenty meters away from the goal. Frank, Steven and Wayne can score directly at this position! Let's see who will punish this set piece! Is it Frank or Steven?"

Before the ball was placed, Lampard and Gerald discussed it for a while, and then both of them retreated from left and right.

"Ding!"

The referee Young Grove whistle sounded, and then Lampard, who had retreated further, jogged forward for two steps. After pausing for a moment, he suddenly accelerated and ran three more steps. After tying his left foot next to the ball, he pulled his right foot hard on the ball!

"Bang!"

When Lampard's body was hanging in the air due to excessive force, the ball flew out like a cannonball!

Shooted directly!

For this free kick, Lampard did not choose to play any arc, but directly used his signature powerful shot to kick the ball from the left side of the Espanyol wall, with the goal being the Spanish team's goal in the lower left corner.

Casillas's position was still good. He quickly moved to the right and then fell down and blocked it!

Under normal circumstances, Casillas' save this time must be able to block the ball. Lampard's shot this time is too strong, and he also added an upward force when playing the ball. The ball is not fixed in the air, but has a forward rapid rotation!

When the ball entered the small penalty area, it suddenly fell!

"Bang!"

Just in front of Casillas, the ball landed on the ground, and then a rebound flew over from under Casillas's body before he fell down...

Casillas watched the ball fly over his armpit, his eyes full of disbelief. He never expected that the ball would change like this!

"when!"

A sound came from behind Casillas. The ball not only crossed him, but also hit the post and bounced into the goal. This angle is invincible!

“GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Frank's free kick directly broke the Spanish team's goal!"

"Blind spot! Frank's powerful shot directly kicked the ball into the blind spot!"

"The free kick created by Jonny Hausen was not wasted, Frank scored a first record for the team!"

On the court, the players of England hugged each other, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Before the game, they felt that the game was still a bit stressful when they played a world championship game with Spain, but after the game began, they realized that the situation was not as bad as they thought. Their team's midfield interception ability was much stronger than before. The Spanish team could not threaten their team's goal at all. So what else should we be afraid of?

Off the court, the old coach Hodgson was also applauding his team. He was very satisfied with the team's current performance. This calm defense contained a fierce attack, which was the football he pursued. After all, when encountering the Spanish team, he could only use defense to play. If he really pushed it out and attacked the Spanish team, he would never know how he died.

However, Hodgson was also a little surprised by Jonny Hausen's performance today. This kid performed so badly when he played against the Netherlands, but he didn't know what to do today. He was as fierce as he was on the court, and he messed up the Spanish defense line alone. Relatively speaking, even the "Little Fat" Rooney did not perform as well in this game!

After the game started again, the Spanish team began to consciously speed up the pace. The players ran, passed quickly, and advanced quickly.

For a moment, England, which had taken the lead, was suppressed, but because of its great psychological advantage, England's defense was not at all confused. Spain's offense still could not advance into the England's penalty area. The offense that was still a little cooperative in the opponent's penalty area when facing other opponents disappeared completely.

It was not until the 43 minutes of the game that Spain's most threatening offense came out, and it was not the result of the short pass penetration that they were good at in the past at a distance of no more than ten meters. It was Iniesta's long shot after shaking away Glenn Johnson on the left and cut inside. After the ball was hit by Johart's two punches, "Gourd" Villa's header shot was rubbed out of the baseline by Terry in front of the goal, and just gave the opponent a corner kick.

Due to their height disadvantage, the corner kicks made by the Spanish team during the game are basically tactical corner kicks. Unless Pique and Ramos are in the opponent's penalty area, they will pass the ball directly to the goal. Their ability to grab points is still too poor, so this corner kick did not cause any trouble to the England team.

After the first half, the atmosphere at Wembley Stadium did not weaken at all. England fans kept singing loudly. They were in a great mood and they had enough reason to be happy.

After Hodgson became the head coach of the "Three Lions", both teams did not play very well in their first game against the Netherlands three days ago, but the team's performance was still very stable. In this game, although the team's starting lineup did not make adjustments, Jonny Hausen, who failed in the last game, was extremely active. If this kid can continue to play like this, it would not be a big problem to become a real main player.

Of course, the most important thing is the midfielder composed of "Shaq", "magic lamp" and "Bunzi". They were able to slow down the attack of the Spanish team and disrupt Spanish Tiki-Taka football. This is really powerful!
