Godfather Of Champions

There is not much time left for England. Three days after the group match, England met Sweden in the quarter-finals at the Pizjuan Stadium, home of La Liga club Sevilla.

Before this game, the English media did not want to publicize the grievances between the two teams as much as the German game. They only mentioned the embarrassing record of forty-eight years of invincibility and hope that Dunn's team can end this record.

There is no way if you don't end, you will be eliminated if you don't win... No Englishman wants to eliminate Sweden in the Cup.

It can also be seen from the entrance of the fans of both sides before the game that the two teams do not have the endless hatred. Fans of the two teams can even enter the stadium together with their arms around each other. There is no banner with a provocative taste. The media only treated it as an ordinary game. At most, Ibrahimovic and Aaron Mitchell were compared. Both of them have impressive heights, but they have excellent skills at their feet. Players, and Mitchell also has the title of "Ibrahimović II" in England.

Before the game, the players in England were not as wide-eyed as they were in the previous game, as if they were facing the enemy who killed their fathers and took their wives. Feet, tell the other party to never turn over.

In the dressing room before the game, Dunn also paid special attention to not mentioning England's 48-year "humiliating" record of overcoming Sweden. He is worried that the players' minds are always thinking about that.

The feud between England and Sweden is different from the feud between Britain and Germany.

England play Germany, Dunn can also use the feud between the two sides to stimulate the morale of the English players. But the best way to face Sweden is to forget about their grievances at all.

The reason is simple. It is hatred with Germany and fate with Sweden. When it comes to the fact that England has not had England and Sweden for 48 years, the players in England will have bad ideas in their minds-is this God's old man's meaning? Otherwise, we and Sweden are so different in strength, why can't we beat them? Especially in the World Cup group match ten years ago, the goal was scored in 85 minutes, and it was about to win. At the last minute, the opponent used an off-court ball to equalize the score... This is simply too impressive. Use common sense to explain!

The more the players think about this, the result will only be a mess of their own brains. This mysticism is a bad thing, it will affect the mentality of the players, which directly leads to their abnormal performance. Dunn cannot guarantee that none of his players will think this way:

No matter how hard you try, the final result must be like that...

So just don't mention it at all to avoid some people's random thinking.

For this special game, Dunn also made corresponding arrangements.

Chris Cohen, who started the game in the last game, continued to start this game, and Tangning has to keep the bench cold. As Bentley and Walcott were injured successively, Adriano Mok made his first start in this European Cup.

Dunn arranged as many Nottingham Forest players to play as possible because he believed more in the psychological quality of the players he brought out than players from other clubs.

In fact, many people in this England national team have no special feelings about Sweden, because they have basically never experienced a game with Sweden. If it weren’t for the media before the game, they used the grievances between England and Sweden to bombard the players. In our words, Dunn didn't worry about anything at all, just treating it as an ordinary eighth final.

Now, he has to be careful.

※※※

From the start of the game, England took the initiative. Threatened the Swedish goal several times.

After all, in terms of strength, England is far beyond the Swedish team. The biggest and most famous star in the Swedish team is only one Ibrahimovic. The Inter Milan striker is thirty-three years old. His skills have become more purely pure, but his physical fitness has declined.

He was at the forefront and did not pose any threat to England's defense. Because the Swedish team simply can't get the ball to his feet.

The England midfielder suppressed the Swedish midfielder, and it is not easy to send the ball out.

The Swedish team can't find a good offensive method here, but England's offense is very impressive. When George Wood was unable to play, Gerrard became England's midfield hub. Although Gerrard is old, his skills and consciousness are still there. The decline in physical fitness will not prevent him from being one of the top midfielders in the world.

Dunn, in response to the general tall situation of the Swedish team's guards, did not arrange for the team to find Mitchell in the side pass. He knows very well that with Mitcher's body in the Swedish team's guard group, it is not at all cheap. Hanging the ball to him can only be a waste of opportunity. So the ball at the foot of this game became Dunn's main offensive direction.

Anyway, Mitchel's skills at the feet are equally good, and he is also useful for attacking on the ground.

Gerrard passed the football straight from midfield to Mitchell in front.

Mitchell leaned against the Swedish central defender Jonas Olsson (Jonas_Olsson) and stomped the football under his feet. Olsen, who is 1.96 meters tall, stretched out his long leg to steal the ball, but asked Mitchel to push him with one hand, no matter what. While Olsen raised his hands to signal to the referee to push Mitchell, Mitchell's feet pulled the football back and knocked it to Wayne Rooney who told him to plug it in!

"Rooney received a wonderful pass from Mitchell! Breakthrough!"

Fortunately, another Olsson-left back Martin Olsson (Martin_Olsson) came forward at this critical moment. When Rooney just took the football out, he shot from the side and tackled the football cleanly and shoveled the football out of the sideline!

When England throws a throw-in, Mitchell did not honestly wait in front of the goal, but ran to the sideline and gestured to receive the pass.

Right back Richards threw the football to him. He licked the football forward with his chest and turned around to make a breakthrough! Martin Olsson was left behind by Mitchell's carelessness. He pushed Mitchell behind him. Unexpectedly, this helped Mitchell a favor-he moved the football forward. With a knock, he rushed over quickly. Then his long legs stretched out and dunked the football that was in the air.

Martin Olsson slapped his horse and killed him. Mitchell swiped the football that had been buckled down with his left foot. At the same time, he jumped up and avoided Olsson's pressing by turning sideways, thus getting rid of Olsson again. Defense!

After throwing away Olsson, Mitchell continued to dribble in. The central defenders of the Swedish team are all tall guys, who pass high-altitude **** casually, and Rooney is too unlikely to be able to grab points.

When Jonas Olsson pounced on Mitchell again, Mitchell passed the ball!

He swept the football against the turf towards the goal, and as long as someone touched it a little bit, there was a high chance of flying into the goal.

It is a pity that this time Sweden's old goalkeeper Andreas_Isaksson (Andreas_Isaksson) attacked in time and caught the football in his hands.

Although this attack did not result in a shot, Mitchell's previous series of performances won the applause of the English fans in the stands and the praise of the English commentators.

"Really outstanding skill at the foot. It is unbelievable that he is two meters tall!"

Even the Swedish commentator had to admire Aaron Mitchell as "Ibrahimovic of England".

England has been besieging Sweden since then, and everyone will no longer see the defensive counterattack used by Dunn in the game against Germany and Portugal.

The tall defenders of the Swedish team seem to be able to defend the ball in the air, but they are a little at a loss when facing the ground cooperation of the England team. Adriano Mok was assigned a very special task in this game. Dunn did not ask him to guard the side lanes, but instead gave him a lot of free movement space, allowing him to move freely in the side lanes, middle lanes, and restricted areas. Use his skills at his feet to cooperate with his teammates on the ground in a small area to create murderous intent.

This hand worked quite well in the first half, with Mok's short stature, flexible movements and good ball handling skills. The playful Swedes go round and round.

By the 27th minute, England finally had a good opportunity. After Mitchell took possession of the ball at the front of the penalty area, the Swedish team's defensive attention was focused on the right wing where Adriano Mok was located, while England's left wing received little attention. Chris Cohen is not good at dribbling, so for a long time, England's offense has been "right-leaning" severely.

Seeing this scene, the players who came out for the Forest team had a clear understanding. After Mitchell protected the football and made a fake move to pass the football to Mork, he twisted and kicked the football in the opposite direction.

"Chris Cohen received the ball and there is no Swedish defender in front of him!" John Mortensen cried. This is a good opportunity for the England team!

The tight line of defense finally revealed a gap, and it depends on whether the English players can catch it!

Chris Cohen looked up at the penalty area after receiving the ball. It stands to reason that Mikael_Lustig, the right back of the Swedish team who should be defending him, was in the penalty area at this time and glanced at Mok. Obviously, Mok's continuous active performance also attracted his attention.

Cohen no longer hesitated and cut directly into the restricted area. Only then did Lustig run over to prepare for defense.

The defense of any team is a whole, which affects the whole body. Lustig's run like this completely emptied the center of the penalty area.

Cohen saw the opportunity to pass the ball directly. Both Mitchell and Rooney were let go by the Swedish defenders. His pass was not for them, but...

Gerrard stepped in from behind and suddenly appeared on the edge of the big penalty area. Cohen's football had just passed to his feet. Gerrard shot directly against the football! The football roared towards the goal of the Swedish team.

Isaacson did not expect that the person who completed the attack would be Gerrard. He was a little unprepared for Gerrard's vigorous volley. He waited for the football to hit the net before he made the save.

"What a beautiful goal!" Mortensen exclaimed, "Stephen Gerrard's powerful volley is unstoppable!"

"It seems that our players have not been affected by Ying Rui's grievances. So far, the Swedish team has not gotten any chance. England has the overall upper hand!"

After the goal, Gerrard waved his fists excitedly. The last time England lost to Sweden in the World Cup, he participated and scored England's second goal, but did not save England's fate. They were finally tied by the Swedes.

This time he didn't want to let this happen again!

If two goals are not guaranteed to beat Sweden, then we will score three goals, four goals, and five goals! More goals!

Gerrard waved his fist vigorously, venting the depression in his heart.

The Swedes looked a little numb in the face of this loss. For nearly 30 minutes, they had no chance at all. They were all pressed by their opponents. Sooner or later they would lose the ball...

Tony Dunn stood up and applauded the team's performance. He was not excited because he and the Swedes had similar ideas-our performance in these 30 minutes was perfect. If we can't score again, then hell. Up. This is the difference in strength, and the team attaches great importance to the opponent from beginning to end, leaving no fatal loopholes for the opponent, it is normal to take the lead.

The Swedes must have never expected England to hold high the flag of offense so resolutely, as you can see from their bewildered response. The Swedes must have never thought that this England team seems to be completely immune to the forty-eight years of fate.

"The performance of the England team gave us hope and the fateful hope of ending that joke!" Mortensen said the voice of the majority of English fans.

※※※

After taking the lead, Dunn did not relax. Instead, he got up from the coach's bench, stood on the sidelines, and kept signaling the players to continue to strengthen the attack and not to give the Swedes a chance to rebound. The players on the England team faithfully implemented Dunn’s tactical intentions, robbing the Swedish team in the midfield, guarding against the deadlock in the backcourt, and not giving Ibrahimovic too many chances to get the ball. Don't let him turn around easily. In this way, Ibrahimovic's space for playing was reduced to the minimum, so that the narrator doubted whether the Swedish tower actually played...

Facing the England team's aggressive offensive, the Swedes can only shrink their defenses and temporarily avoid the edge. The Swedish coach Ragerbeck's idea is that even if it falls behind by a goal in the first half, it is considered a victory. As long as the score gap is not widened, adjustments can be made at the halftime and then fight with England. Based on his knowledge of the England team, the psychological quality of this team can't be flattered. The good performance in the first half does not mean that it can maintain such a performance in the second half. Just put a little pressure on them, and they will get confused.

Think about the World Cup group stage ten years ago. England's performance in the first half was also perfect, the result?

Lagerback sat firmly on the Diaoyutai as if everything was under his control.

He also heard the whistle at the end of the first half as he wished. The Swedish team lags behind England 0:1.

Ragerbeck, who left the court, could not see the slightest dissatisfaction with the team's backwardness. He glanced at Dunn and found a smile on the opponent's face, seemingly satisfied with the team's lead by one goal.

Lagerback smiled in his heart.

The arrogant Englishman will soon let you know what fate is!
