The best three people in England:
Picoford's steady save, Hilton possession.
Maguire's header is broken and the back defense is complemented.
Lingard, the engine that runs endlessly.
Goalkeeper, defender, midfielder.
Fight, head the ball, run.
This is the theme of this England.
24 minutes before the game, the two sides shot once, each time the ball was broken, and the one time was taken. Then there was a joke: the two sides passed on and passed on, and the opponent’s feet went down.
After the scene was opened, the final game, England's ball control rate of 55%, pass success rate of 80%, but to be honest, look at the scene to know, still rough. Transfer or advance, basically rely on long balls, and run.
Let me put it this way: England's range of running is really amazing. Every player is full of flies, and Lingard, Ali, Kane and Sterling are all in the air, not waiting for the ball. Their ball stops are not fine enough, and the ball is not fine enough, but because there are many midfielders, they are active and keep pace with each other, so stop and you can't go back and knock, then continue, so you can hold the ball.
England's attack and punctuality, Sweden did not take the ball to advance the master, so England relies on the overall running to make up, and occasionally the two wings will miss the back ball, but the middle of the road always has time to pile up people.
(Belgian TV commentators always call Sweden's Toivonen "undressing, I can", um, this is a digression...)
England has been basically a corner kicker from all corners of the year. This, look at two angles:
The original words of an American friend are: I have never seen so many long balls in England. It’s boring! - But it performed very well.
(Never seen an england team settle in so many long balls. Fxxx boring,well excuted though.)
Think about it, that's it.
So pay tribute to Sosgate's hat.
There is no genius in England. The player who is closest to talent and inspiration is Sterling. As a result, the first half of the glory of the single-shot ball was wasted. Overall, England is a style of Premier League midfielder like Watford, lacking players with excellent ball skills.
However, Southgate relied on the formation of the formation, the team to work together, a lot of running to make up for the roughness of the stop belt. The back line runs back and forth, the two wings run back and forth, the middle road Henderson like pinball, Sterling, Kane, Lingard and Aliju have nowhere to run and high position to grab - is really rushing to the ball It’s not a control pass – so England is like a big machine.
Not refined, but it doesn't work. Occasionally flashing, such as passing in place, there will be.
Sixteen years ago, there were also teams, with weak ball ability, rough feet and a young team.
So relying on an all-around midfielder, a 24-year-old grab shot shooter, a good goalkeeper, relying on the team's unremitting running and filling, relying on all the way long pass + running + positioning ball, all the way into the semi-finals, and even the final .
That was in 2002, Barak, Klose and Kahn that Germany.
