Chapter 917 Confrontation drama!

At the last tactical meeting before departure today, Mourinho told his players not to be too conservative in the first half, but to attack aggressively.Strive to be able to score first, and if you can take the lead, you will be able to take the initiative and control the game as much as possible under your own feet.

Beckham is now in control of the ball. He did not rush to pass the football to the front. Instead, he took two steps forward, observed the situation ahead, and then signaled Lampard to come over to meet him. The two hit the wall. , Passing Alonso, the ball is still at Beckham's feet.

This is also the tactic developed by Mourinho. Since the Spanish team is the kind of team that pays attention to smooth cooperation and controls the ball under their feet, the England team should try to control the ball under their feet as much as possible, so as to reduce their own goal. The probability of being threatened by an opponent's attack.

In addition, in a game like the World Cup final, more attention should be paid to offensive efficiency. Blind kicks are terrible. The England team must be able to score goals in limited opportunities.There are penalties for wasting opportunities.

***********
Busquets comes up to intercept and Beckham passes the ball to Gareth Barry.

After Gareth Barry gets the ball.I wanted to make a long pass directly to Li Rui in front.He's seen the open before he catches the ball.But when the football passed over.The situation on the field has changed again.There was no space left in the place that had looked good before, and Puyol was very careful about marking Li Rui, so he posted it immediately.

Gareth Barry dunked the football and passed Harvey, who came up to intercept him. Seeing that Rooney was also followed by Piqué, it was not easy to pass the ball, so he made a gesture for his partner to respond.

Gerrard saw him running back to meet him, and Iniesta followed, trying to interfere with England's attack.

Gareth Barry saw Iniesta who was following Gerrard's ass, and didn't really pass the football, but suddenly dribbled the ball forward!

He and Gerald passed each other.

Iniesta was taken aback.Hastily dropped Gerrard and rushed towards Gareth Barry.And Gareth Barry was waiting for this opportunity, after watching Iniesta leave Gerrard.He pulled the ball back and gave it to Gerrard before Iniesta stretched out his foot to steal it.

Gerrard received the ball and turned around, squeezed Alonso who was pressing towards him, and knocked the ball to Beckham.

***********
As soon as Beckham received the ball, Terry suddenly rushed up from his own penalty area to respond.

This scene surprised all the commentators from various countries in the broadcast booth-just now they were saying that England might be conservative, but now their central defenders have rushed up.You know, this is the final of the World Cup, and it is very dangerous for a central defender to come up to assist.

"God! Terry came up! He made an assist!" Even Lineker, a guest commentator on Sky TV, was taken aback.

On the sidelines, the Spanish coach Bosque raised his eyebrows. He also noticed the change. Terry came up. Is this an accident, or is it England's tactical arrangement?England to press out in the first half?

Terry received a pass from Beckham. He didn't intend to pass the ball immediately. After he got the ball, he bravely dribbled through and pushed forward very resolutely!
***********
In front of Terry was Pedro. He never expected that the opponent's central defender would press up, and dared to drive forward with the ball. He was easily swayed by Terry due to lack of preparation, which attracted England fans in the stands. first eruption.

"Stop him!" Harvey yelled.

However, Terry did not continue to dribble. He made a gesture of continuing to dribble, but passed the ball to Li Rui who retreated and came back to meet him.

"It was a funny scene, Terry came all the way and the England centre-back passed the ball to Li Rui in their front line."

***********
A burst of cheers erupted at the Soccer City stadium.

The ball is at Li Rui's feet, which means that there will be thousands of possibilities in the future. As the most threatening player in the world, the ball at his feet will bring great defensive pressure to the opponent.

After seeing Li Rui taking the ball, the Spaniard naturally became nervous. Capudrera stared at the football under his feet and did not dare to take the first step.He was afraid that Li Rui would pass him by as soon as he made a move.

Li Rui's upper body swayed suddenly, and Capudrera thought he was about to break through, so he quickly leaned back, ready to intercept.Unexpectedly, Li Rui was just a fake move, and then kicked the ball back, then accelerated forward, and wiped past Capdevila, who had never recovered his center of gravity.

***********
Rooney saw that Li Rui broke through Capdrera's defense and then continued to dribble the ball along the side. He immediately started sprinting towards the goal.

Puyol, who originally planned to meet Li Rui, took back his steps and rushed to mark Rooney. The Spanish coach Bosque had already explained that when Li Rui was dribbling, he had to be careful to mark Rooney. The cooperation between the two has been extremely tacit. Now, Li Rui can often attract the attention of defensive players, and then he can always pass that kind of sudden and comfortable ball, and Rooney completes the final blow!
Now, seeing Li Rui continue to dribble the ball along the wing, Spain's defense immediately thought of Bosque's words, and the head coach really knew what happened!

***********
Li Rui made an inside cut and was about to enter the penalty area.

Pique came up to intercept Li Rui.

He didn't dare to act hastily, but retreated slowly, trying to seize a good opportunity to act.

Li Rui looked at this former Manchester United teammate. Without any haste, he stretched out his left foot forward, stepped on the ball with his right foot and pulled it inwardly, then turned around 360 degrees, raised his left foot again, and used Control the ball in front of you with your right foot.Pass Pique.

"Marseille roundabout!"

"pretty!!"

There was a burst of cheers and screams from the stands, thunderous applause, it was so beautiful, not that there are no players who can do the 'Marseille gyro', but, on the stage of the World Cup, especially in the final field, it has never been People make such moves, this is the World Cup final, the players are under great pressure, few dare to play like this!
"Great!" said England assistant coach Alan Shearer on the sidelines, and at the same time he looked at Mourinho, "Lee, aren't you nervous at all?"

Mourinho shook his head, "It's not that he's not nervous, it's just that a player like Li Rui knows how to adjust his mentality on the court reasonably."

***********
Just past Pique with the 'Marseille roundabout', Li Rui immediately flicked his ankle and passed the ball.

cross!

Puyol was immediately on the verge of a formidable enemy, but he immediately turned pale with fright. The ball from Li Rui was not passed to Rooney next to him, but to the right side of the goal, but there were no English players there!
Then, he saw a white figure rushing forward!

"Stop him! Don't let him shoot!"

It's too late!

"Steve (Gerald)!" Lineker shouted excitedly.

***********
Gerrard rushed in front of the ball, did not stop the ball, and volleyed directly. Li Rui's pass was very sudden, so when Gerrard shot, there were no Spanish players around him to defend.

Amidst the exclamation of everyone, the football flew off the baseline against the beam!
Although no goals were scored.Mourinho still stood on the sidelines and applauded England's attack just now.

He didn't forget to glance at Bosque next door.The other party is sitting on a chair, but look at his appearance.It seems to have the meaning of getting up.Obviously this 'old fox' couldn't sit still.In fact, Mourinho's current honor and status in international football are more "respected" than Bosque, and Mourinho's words are not too respectful for the "old guy" Bosque, but , This does not mean that Mourinho does not pay attention to Bosque, this [-]-year-old old coach is indeed very powerful and very cunning.Very set.

"It's wonderful! This attack!" Lineker said excitedly, "The England team's attack is really beautiful, they almost scored a goal! The boys use this attack to demonstrate to the Spaniards!"

***********
Del Bosque couldn't sit still. He admitted that Gerrard's shot just now made his heart beat faster. It would be really bad if England took the lead.According to Mourinho's understanding of the Bosque team, if possible, Mourinho would definitely not mind putting nine defenders in the penalty area.That's a victory guy.

The old man conveyed a meaning to the Spanish players on the field. He was dissatisfied with the current performance of the team and dissatisfied with the offense shown by the Spanish team.

Perhaps feeling Bosque's dissatisfaction, the Spanish team "be brave after knowing the shame", and soon had a very threatening attack.

***********
Iniesta raised his hand in front and asked for the ball, and Alonso also passed the football.Then he rushed forward, making a posture of 'hitting the wall' with Iniesta.

England's defensive players were really fooled. Both Upson and Carragher focused on Alonso, but ignored Iniesta, who had already got the ball.

Iniesta received the ball and turned around in one go. Taking advantage of the attention of Upson and Carragher being attracted by Alonso, he began to accelerate the ball and dribble along the left rib of the midfielder.

Carragher hurried back to intercept, but Iniesta was very fast and dribbled the ball before Carragher returned to the defense.

"Stop him!!" Terry yelled in panic.

Lampard, desperately returning to defense, rushed up and was about to steal the ball, but Iniesta changed direction and rushed in.

Iniesta, who broke into the penalty area, did not hesitate at all, and immediately shot directly with his foot.At this moment, Terry came up, and he directly shoveled Iniesta down with the ball.

"God! This is a penalty!" The Spanish commentator jumped up and shouted.

"Beautiful defense! This is undoubtedly the perfect defense!" Lineker shouted there.

***********
Iniesta, who fell to the ground, thought he would hear the penalty whistle.But there was nothing, Terry's shovel was kicked out by Upson, who was driven back.

The referee Irmakov didn't say anything either. Obviously he didn't think it was a foul. He hooked his hand at Iniesta, signaling him not to pretend and get up quickly.

"Iniesta is still asking for a penalty kick...he really knows how to act. It's not bad that he didn't have a yellow card for diving." Lineker was still sarcasm loudly.

The Spanish commentator was loudly accusing the referee of 'killing' their penalty.

The boos at the Soccer City stadium were loud, whether it was Spanish fans or England fans booing, the scene was as noisy as a huge farmers' market. . .
