Chapter 293 Victory is beckoning!(1/2)
The game time has passed 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes of fierce confrontation, both players have entered the game and are becoming more and more skillful in cooperating.
Some things that should be expressed are also beginning to show.
The Swedish team has excellent midfield skills. They began to seek some counterattacks to threaten the England goal. At the same time, after being suppressed, the Swedish team has become more and more stable in defense, but they found that it was still very difficult to block the defense line because the England offensive was too fierce.
This is the first time they have seen such an English team!
England adopts the most familiar 442 formation, with the two forward combinations being Volckett and Burton Reit. Considering the pre-match player's condition, Welbeck did not appear in the lineup.
Burton Reit and Walcott are both forwards, but they are completely different in types.
Walcott is a flexible striker with a large running range and relies more on grabbing points and personal footwork to find opportunities; Bolton Reit is completely a high center forward. His speed is an advantage, but perhaps affected by his height, his body is not so flexible, and it is a disadvantage to compete with his opponents in terms of skills.
Wan Sheng also used Bolton Reit as a tactical center.
Now Borton-Rett is at the forefront of the formation.
Standing in the European Cup, Bolton Reit was still very excited. His last time he was selected for the England national team dates back to seven years ago. At that time, he performed very well in the league and was the chief scorer of Derby County. He was selected for England to participate in some international A-level friendly matches, but he was not selected for the national team in the subsequent World Cup in Germany.
That's a pity!
Because Derby County's performance has been not very good, Borton Reit's performance has also been affected. He feels it will be difficult for him to have the chance to join the England national team in the future. Unexpectedly, this time when his former mentor coached the England team, he was selected again.
Many media have analyzed that "Rett was selected because of Wan Sheng." The implication is that, as the head coach of the England team, Wan Sheng recruited his former players without any hesitation, which made many people quite objection.
Bolton-Rett also knew these statements.
So in the game, Bolton Reit hopes to perform more to prove his strength and to prove that the outside world's statement is wrong.
Until now, Bolton Reit has not shot yet. Part of the reason is that as a tactical center, he has gotten a limited number of opportunities and even the number of goals he has received, but Bolton Reit is very unwilling to accept it.
He is desperate to prove himself!
Wan Sheng's words kept wandering in his mind, "We must play with momentum and play tough! We must play more resolutely. Don't hesitate in the game, play whatever we should do, and play smoother."
"If you have the chance, just shoot directly! Don't think about anything else, we have to show our strength!"
Bolton Reit trusts Wansheng very much.
That was an absolute trust, and he would not question anything at all. When everyone else was a little confused, Reit believed that as long as he did according to the coach's words, the team would definitely win.
Reit has been working hard!
Most of the time, Reit did not have a ball. His position was too high and it was difficult to receive passes from his teammates, but he was still running, looking for a position, and constantly having physical contact with the opponent's players. His approach helped other teammates attract defensive attention, but Swedish players gradually lost their attention. They found that this big man with little fame had no skills at all. He was like a bull rushing around, and had no other advantages except for being strong.
What threat can these guys pose to Swedish goal?
That's what Melbery thinks.
Melbery is the central defender of Sweden and is now 34 years old. It is not easy for a 34-year-old defender to be selected into the Swedish national team, which is enough to show that Melbery's performance is stable. It can be said that Melbery is the decisive needle of Swedish defense.
This time, England launched a fast counterattack. Burton Reit got the ball 10 meters in front of the penalty area. Melbery rushed over to defend, and other England players didn't have time to keep up.
It's hard for Burton Reit to hand the ball to his teammates again, he has to face Melbery alone.
Melbery didn't look down on Bolton Reit. He just passed slowly and blocked Bolton Reit's forward position. In Melbery's opinion, the tall man in front of him would definitely protect the ball until his teammates rushed over to pass the ball.
The next moment, Melbery knew that he was wrong!
Burton Reit kept the words of Wan Sheng in mind. He knew that he could not delay the game and played whatever he should do. Now, as long as he passed the Swedish defender in front of him, he would likely get a shot. So what else can hesitate?
Bolton Reit directly drove the ball to the right and rushed over immediately!
Melbery was stunned and turned around and found that he could no longer keep up. "This kid... is so fast!"
Just when Melbery sighed unexpectedly, Botton Reit had already brought the ball to the penalty area line. Seeing another Swedish player coming to defend, he chose to shoot directly without hesitation.
Bang!
The football made a muffled sound and rushed straight to the right side of the goal. The force was very strong. Unfortunately, the opponent's goalkeeper Isaxon reacted very quickly and rushed over immediately and dragged the ball out of bounds with both hands.
"It's a pity that Reit failed to help England score..."
"Rett just passed the ball very quickly. He showed his speed advantage. Swedish defender Melbery didn't have time to chase him back. If there were teammates around, the ball might have been in the ball..."
"Anyway, England played very well in this wave of offensive just now. Reit, who played for the first time, performed very strongly..."
In the analysis of the commentator, England was ready for a corner kick. After the full-back Milner sent a corner kick, Morris jumped up and competed for the header with the opponent. Unfortunately, the opponent's position was better and he pushed the ball out of the first time. Then Gerrard and the opponent's players competed and kicked the ball out of the sideline. The England team's offensive was completed.
Although it was a pity that he didn't score, Bolton Reit was very rewarding.
From the first minute of the game, Rett was entangled by Melbery. This old Swedish defender brought him huge trouble with his rich experience and ability, but Rett just discovered the opponent's problem.
No matter how experienced the other party is or how strong the ability is, he is a veteran after all!
As a veteran, his physical fitness has declined across the board, and his speed and explosive power are definitely not as good as those of young people. In other words, he can completely get rid of defense by relying on his speed and explosive power.
England's next wave of offensive is coming soon.
Botton Reit attracted defense from the outside of the penalty area. Morris inserted the ball and passed it to Milner on the wing. Milner took a high ball, and Botton Reit broke into the penalty area to complete the top.
The football was saved by Isaxon.
Swedish goalkeeper Isaxon did perform quite well. Not to mention his stable performance, he had saved several dangerous balls, but the entire Swedish team still felt the danger of the goal.
England team sent a corner kick, and Burton Reitt snatched the ball and handed it to Morris. Morris passed the corner flagpole and ran over Milner, who shot directly on the spot.
This shot was a bit hasty.
Milner's position was quite bad, and he was only about 30 degrees between the goal and the goalkeeper flew out of the baseline with a shot far away from the post. Milner covered his face with a little embarrassedly and waved his hand at his teammates.
Milner's last shot was really out of standard, but the media's comments on England's recent offensive have been highly praised.
"England has launched continuous offensives against Swedish goals, one wave after another, without any intention of slowing down. The Swedes were kicked in a hurry."
"The England team played out its momentum, which made the opponent breathless!"
Even the Swedish media commentator had to admit, "In recent times, England has completely suppressed the Swedish team, and the Swedish goal is in crisis."
"But... England's offensive cannot last forever, and it will be a chance for Sweden!"
The last words of the Swedish commentator encouraged Swedish fans. They all began to look forward to Sweden's counterattack, but they did not wait for the Swedish team to break out, but what they waited for was England's goal!
The goal occurred in the 37th minute of the game.
After nearly 40 minutes of the game, both sides were a little tired, but England's offensive continued. This time they made four consecutive passes in the midfield. After that, the full-back Milner brought the ball to the front, and Bolton Reit received a straight pass in the middle.
Walcott received the pass!
Next to Walcott, there was Swedish central defender Jonas Olsen defending. After getting the ball, he could only turn around to protect the ball. At this time, Walcott saw Gerald inserting and immediately pushed the ball back.
Gerald followed and waved his feet and was about to shoot!
Swedish central defender Melbery almost immediately gave up his defense against Bolton Reit and rushed over to block Gerald's shot with his body. This move is to be seen by French players and will definitely praise him, "This is a brave fighter who is not afraid of sacrifice!"
Gerald's shot is not easy to block!
But Melbery is lucky, or Sweden is not very lucky, so Gerald did not choose to shoot, but just made a fake move and pushed the ball to Burton Reit.
Bolton Reit is unattended!
Reit easily received the pass, and even had time to make adjustments. Then he glanced at the direction of the goal and chose to volley the ball directly. The football was against the turf, and hesitated and rushed towards the goal quickly like lightning.
This time, Swedish goalkeeper Isaxon was unable to continue his amazing performance. He immediately chose to save to the left, but in the end, both sides could not touch the ball.
The English commentator is passionately commentating. The past 30 minutes of the game made him feel extremely excited because he saw the England team performing their strength and completely suppressing Sweden in the goal.
"This time it's Reit again! Recently, Reit has been very active and he passed the ball to the middle..."
"Walcott protects the ball, is he going to shoot... No, he handed the ball to Gerald, which is a safe choice... Shoot! Gerald!"
"It's still not a shot, Gerald deceived Melbery...pass! Rett!"
"Great opportunity! Shoot!"
"Shot!"
"Shot! It's! Reit's shot! Oh."
"The ball is in! The ball is in! goooooooooooooooal!!!"
The English commentator shouted excitedly, and he said excitedly, "Rett! Rett! Burton Rett! He helped England score the first goal! This was 38 minutes into the game, 1-0! England took the lead!"
"This is a direct shot from the outside of the penalty area! The shooting force is very strong and the angle is very tricky! Swedish goalkeeper Isaxon was unable to save the ball again, and he had no choice!"
"Rett! He became a hero of England and helped score the first goal!"
"This goal also proves himself. Many people previously believed that because England hired interim coach Wan Sheng, he had the opportunity to enter the national team, but now these people should shut up..."
Not only the English commentator, but Gao Hong, the commentator of "Xinlang Live" also said excitedly, "Rett helped the England team score a goal. Seeing this goal, we seemed to see the talented center who was in the Premier League again!"
"This is also a very amazing goal! England has been suppressing Sweden with its strength. The goal is the result now. This may also be a huge blow to Sweden. They held it for more than 30 minutes, but still conceded the goal..."
In the analytical comments of various media commentators, Wan Sheng stood up from his position with his fist.
Wan Sheng was also very excited at this moment.
Not only was it a goal, but Wan Sheng felt the pressure just now.
Although Wan Sheng's expression has always been very plain, as if everything is under control, there is no sure victory in the football game. The team has strength and good performance. However, many games also depend on luck. For example, in the past 30 minutes, the team did not score in continuous offense. If the situation continues, the team will definitely be very unfavorable in the second half.
Now, there is finally a goal.
To be continued...
