All-around center

England head coach McClaren looked solemn. He stood on the sidelines and could no longer sit still.

Although it was just a lost goal, the overall situation and situation became extremely passive.

The midfielder cannot play the ball, and the passing points are restricted.

The most critical thing is that England's rhythm is extremely chaotic.

The midfield rigidity problem between Gerrard and Lampard still exists.

Gerrard couldn't play the ball and Lampard didn't retreat.

For more than 20 minutes, Lampard seemed to disappear.

This 'magic lamp' that played so well at Chelsea turned dim in this game.

He originally wanted to rely on the response of Gerrard and Lampard in the front and backcourt to launch an attack, but the situation was exactly the opposite.

They didn't call at all!

McLaren scratched his head.

unable!

It's fine during training, but then it's like this when it comes to competition?

Are these two playing me?

But the key now is how to break the situation.

The issues of midfield organization and advancement urgently need to be resolved.

McLaren subconsciously turned his head to look at Beckham on the bench.

The latter also glanced at McLaren, with a sneer on his lips.

Beckham hates McLaren.

After all, who would like a guy who puts himself on the bench.

Ever since it was announced that McLaren wanted to replace Beckham, citing his advanced age, the two had conflicts.

Beckham feels he can still play.

McLaren said ‘you can’t’.

How could Beckham support him in the face of such denial.

If it weren't for the European Cup qualifiers that were coming, Beckham would have taken the overall situation into consideration, or else he would have just started a quarrel.

"Shit!"

McLaren cursed under his breath and turned to look at the court.

He waved to Phillips.

"Drop back more often to get the ball out of the backcourt!"

At this point, McLaren could only rely on the talented young players he had single-handedly promoted.

Phillips also cheered up.

Although he lost a goal, he also gained more tactical weight for it.

"Look at me! Sir!"

Phillips ran onto the court excitedly.

At the same time, the game is about to start in the stadium.

The Croatian players also finished their celebration and returned to the court.

"The situation is gradually becoming clearer. The boys played really well. I am very curious as to why England's defense suddenly stopped following Suker. Do they think Suker is not a threat enough?"

Even when he was leading, Krausiewicz also made jokes and laughed very arrogantly.

Before the game, the English media made various belittling and disparaging reports.

But after the game started, he was immediately shaken back to his original shape.

‘Three lions’ become ‘three cats’.

It's England!

To be honest, a large part of the reason why England is attracting gangsters is because of the mess made by these British media.

In the arena, the game restarts.

After England kicked off, Croatia still pressed high.

They kept pressing England's front, trying to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

However, England also found a countermeasure, and the two midfielders retreated to respond. Increase the ball release point.

Lampard was also forced to retreat to respond.

In this way, the delivery rhythm cannot be considered smooth, but it is enough.

However, problems also exist.

England is unorganized!

They just hit a wave!

Push forward and attack, shoot whenever you can, without any interference or restraint on the back line.

Even after several attempts, the influence is minimal.

Seeing Lampard awkwardly controlling the ball and stuffing the ball into the crowd from time to time, the Sky Sports commentator couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's so rough!"

British players are technically poor, which is no longer a big topic.

But as an organizational midfielder, if your skills are so rough, how do you let your teammates play?

And Phillips, this guy is more of a 'chunk' than helping organize.

Time and time again, he launched breakthroughs from the wing, only to be interfered and restricted by Srna.

Sudden and sudden, but you have to break through!

What if there is only "breakthrough" and no "breaking"!

Phillips was holding the ball on the wing again, testing the ball again and again.

"Phillips' desire to break through is high, but the problem is that he is always unable to form a breakthrough on the wing to interfere." The Sky Sports commentator said with an embarrassed expression; "Srna's performance is really good."

That was all he could say.

Is it okay to complain about Phillips' breakthrough?

When Srna saw Phillips testing himself, he also acted imaginatively and approached directly to grab the ball.

Phillips' speed and explosive power are very good, but his skills are also 'English level'.

A bit of pressure, and the original shape will appear immediately.

I stepped on the bicycle and stepped on it, but the ball didn't follow.

"Oh~~~"

The Sky Sports commentator covered his eyes.

He didn't see it!

What are these manifestations?

The Croatian commentary booth was delighted.

"Can you still throw the ball while riding a bicycle?"

Davor Suker grinned: "Joe Cole has performed well recently. Pele praised him. He is the only player in the England team who has reached the level of a Brazilian player!"

Krausiewicz and Besic were stunned for a moment, and then the whole crowd burst into laughter.

Phillips also knew that he was embarrassed, and he immediately turned around to protect the ball.

Suddenly, Su Ke appeared in front of him and pulled the ball away.

"give me back!"

Phillips was so angry that he rushed over and fought back.

Su Ke moved and buckled his feet to distance himself.

The moment Phillips stretched out his foot, Suk placed a fried ball at his feet and passed Phillips lightly.

At the same time, facing Lampard's pressing, Su Ke poked his toe and jumped slightly.

The ball passed under Lampard's crotch, and Suker brought the ball out from the backcourt alone.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

At the Maksimir Stadium, Croatian fans burst into loud cheers.

They looked at the embarrassed England team, not to mention how happy they were.

In the commentary box, Krausiewicz also winked and said, "Look! This is a breakthrough!"

After Suker brought the ball out, he transferred it to Modric and turned to look at Phillips.

The latter also looks at Xiansuke.

Suk raised his chin slightly and smiled.

Phillips' face suddenly turned red.

He felt that Su Ke was provoking him, as if he was saying that he couldn't get ahead of others.

Suk was indeed provoking Phillips.

At the same time, he also has a certain understanding of the foot skills of English players.

"It's better than my parallel imports!"

Suk whispered.

The game had entered 40 minutes, but England's offense still showed no improvement.

Crouch in the frontcourt is a big telephone pole.

In 40 minutes, he only had two chances to touch the ball and completed one shot.

The same goes for Joe Cole. Facing Croatia's full-court press, it was really difficult to complete the advancement work.

Lampard had a lot of fun playing.

This guy has the most shots on goal in England.

Four long-range shots, two of which hit the door frame.

England fans on the away trip have already begun to troll.

"Pass the ball! Pass the ball!"

"What are you doing with your head down? Can't you raise your head?"

"Shoot! Give me the fucking shot!"

"What a bunch of rubbish! Go fuck yourself and eat shit!"

England fans are known for their fiery tempers.

Looking at the current passive situation, they were even more angry.

They yelled at the Croatian fans around them, and took the time to also yell at the English and Croatian players on the field.

Anyway, whoever is caught will be sprayed!

Su Ke can also understand this.

After all, at this point in the game, England played really poorly.

Near the end of the first half, Suker and Mandzukic completed a one-two in the frontcourt.

After Su Ke rushed into the penalty area, he suddenly picked the ball and passed it to the back point.

Rakitic followed up with a shot.

The ball missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

This was also the last attack of the first half.

The referee blows the halftime whistle.

"The halftime is here, Croatia leads England 1:0 with Suker's goal in the first half!"

"Looking at the first half of the game, Croatia controlled the situation on the field, while England played very passively."

"Their so-called tactical system is completely destroyed!"

"In this game, McLaren adopted a 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation, but the effect was not good."

The Sky Sports commentator shook his head and complained.

Ancelotti dared to play 4-3-2-1 because four No. 10s were in the midfield.

Suker, Kaka, Seedorf, and Pirlo, these four form a powerful field control combination.

In the front midfielder position, Su Ke and Kaka.

Can pass, shoot, burst and run!

McLaren is trying to use Phillips and Joe Cole to achieve that effect. Is this possible?

Let’s not talk about Joe Cole for now.

With Phillips' performance, can he play as an attacking midfielder?

He can't kick!

Suker's "teaching" pass in the first half was very telling.

He doesn't have this ability!
