Godfather Of Champions

When George Wood appeared on the court, the English fans in the stands gave out a huge cheer. They chanted Wood's nickname "Saint George" over and over again, completely knocking down the arrogance of the French fans.

They can't help but get excited. It's been more than two months. Although George Wood played off the bench in the game against Germany and Sweden, it was the first time he started. What does it mean that George Wood can start? St. George's right big toe is completely healed! They don't have to worry about anything in the next game.

However, those opponents who were observing the two teams in the stands and collecting first-hand information did not value Wood's comeback, but Dunn's actions. Wood's comeback is predictable. Dunn brought his most proud disciple to Spain, but it wasn't for him to sit on the bench all the time, so it was nothing surprising. But Dunn's uncharacteristically low-key style before the game made those opponents very alert.

The opponents who observe the two teams in the stands include Spain and the Czech Republic, which the two teams may meet in the semifinals, and Italy, which may meet in the final.

They are all coaches in their respective teams and came to the San Mamés Stadium with the task of spying on the military. Few of them would believe that Dunn is really afraid of the French team. Although the French team’s performance in the previous few games is indeed very eye-catching, no matter how you analyze it, Dunn is not the kind of master who will fear the opponent. coach. On the contrary, when the opponent is stronger, he should have more fighting spirit. Look at how he led a little-known Nottingham Forest to establish a dynasty... It was almost a collection of classic battles that defeated the strong.

They were so concerned about Dunn's abnormal performance before the game that George Wood's starting game was regarded as a trivial matter by them. It's as natural as it happens...

※※※

Puel no longer thinks about what Dunn said and did before the game. Now his whole mind is on the game-the madness of the Englishman is something he never expected...

At the beginning of the game, it was the French team kicking off. It stands to reason that the French team should make good use of this opportunity to keep the football under their feet, and then launch successive waves of offensives, threatening England’s gate, leading the goal correctly, and dragging the game. Go into a track familiar to the French.

However, their offense was not close to the England goal before they were intercepted by George Wood and Gerrard. Next, the French team wanted to regain possession of the ball in the midfielder-Lasena Diarra and Flamini are in the midfielder position, which is closer to the opponent's penalty area. From the adjustment of this position, we can see the French team's plan. They plan to completely suppress England with offense in this game. The ideal result is that England can't even get out of the half.

This is actually the reason why the French team has been so successful so far. Puel is not only a fool who knows the offense. After the two powerful intercepting midfielders are advanced, the French team’s offense is more oppressive and convenient for on-site counters. , Encountered those teams that are weak or under-prepared, their move can really play a decisive role.

It's a pity that they met today with a high spirited and well prepared England.

After seeing Gerrard take the ball, Flamini rushed up tacitly. While waiting to enter the field before the game, Diarra found his partner and told him that his goal was George Wood, so Flamini should not interfere.

Gerrard saw Flamini pounce at him and passed the football to Wood, who was not far away.

Almost as soon as he passed the ball, Diarra also moved, and like a panther, he pounced on Wood who was about to catch the ball. He intends to steal the ball while Wood catches the ball. At that time, Wood's footing was not stable and it was an opportunity.

"Diarra stepped forward to defend Wood...beautiful!"

Mortensen exclaimed excitedly.

When Wood pounced on Diarra, he knocked Gerrard's pass directly to Terry behind with his heel. It didn’t matter if Diarra threw a shot, the important thing is that he and Flamini both rushed up. After that, the French team's midfield and backcourt were out of touch, with a wide blank space in between! You must know that the position of the French team's two intercepting midfielders is already very high...

This is obviously before the start of the game, Dunn specially urged Wood to take advantage of the loopholes in the opponent's formation.

Terry didn't waste time, and directly passed the football to Mok, who had already rushed to the front!

"England's fast attack!"

When Stuart Downing stopped the ball, there were only three French defenders in front of him. The two forwards from England and another full-back Abonraho had already rushed to the front of the penalty area, and Gerrard was even more so. After passing the football to Wood, he rushed up. But Wood continued to defend the backcourt after passing the ball back to Terry.

Dunn's starting lineup in this game is different from the previous two games. Chris Cohen and Mork, the two Nottingham Forest players, did not continue to start, but gave up positions to Downing and Abang Raho. The latter two have one thing in common-fast speed.

Dunn expects that the French team will press on and strive to advance the ball. At this time, the most important thing for the England team in attack is not to control the ball, but to speed. Cohen has an offensive and defensive balance, good endurance, Mok's excellent ball control and fine technique, but they are not players with speed. Downing and Abangraho are excellent at speed and are very useful in counterattacks.

Moreover, this lineup greatly exceeded the French's expectations. Puel certainly did not expect that when England's right midfielder had a crisis, Dunn gave up the only true right midfielder left and chose to play forward. Banglaho.

Tangning didn't stop much after receiving the ball, but passed the ball horizontally. Rooney, who had withdrawn back, received the ball and then divided it to Abangraho. Just now the left-back of the French team, Klichy, rushed up to participate in the attack, and was still running back to the defense at this time.

Abangraho is also welcome, after receiving the ball, cut directly into the penalty area!

The French central defender was originally defending against Mitchell and Rooney, but he did not expect England to quickly move the football to the other side, and he did not want to play Abangraho into the penalty area so resolutely, without even the slightest hesitation. ...

After Abangraho rushed into the goal, he slapped his foot and tried to shoot, tricking Sako into flying to block, but passed the football sideways to Mitchel in the small penalty area...

"Aaron Mitchell is now unmarked... he shoots..."

The football flew straight to the goal, the goalkeeper Lorris flew to save, but the distance was too close, Mitchell's shot was exhausted, no matter how powerful the goalkeeper was at this time, there was nothing he could do...

"GOOOAL! GOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOAL!!!" John Mortensen, the ace commentator of BBC 5, jumped from his seat.

He may be the first person to react, because when the football shot by Mitchell hits the net, whether it is the fans in the stands or the audience in front of the TV, their brains have not recovered. Come-what's going on? Just one point at the beginning, how did this happen?

Also surprised were all the members of the French team, the coaches sitting on the coaching bench, and the French players who were still on the court desperately returning to the defense. At this moment, they stared at their goal in a daze. There is a football spinning, rubbing against the net.

At the same time, in England, in bars large and small, on the big screen of the square, and on the taxi radio, only the voice of John Mortensen chanted: "This is the fastest goal in this cup! This It was also the second fastest goal in the history of the European Cup! In one minute and thirty seconds, Mitchell took the lead for England! We are ahead! This lead is really surprising, but we are indeed ahead!"

※※※

After a few seconds of stagnation, huge cheers erupted from the stands of the San Mamés Stadium.

Commentators from various countries have also used their good methods to declare England 1:0 lead the French team.

To be honest, even the England team did not expect them to start so smoothly, taking the lead in just one and a half minutes. It was Tony Dunn who reacted the fastest and rushed out of the coach's bench with his arms wide open, and started a twisting dance near the coach's bench of the French team, as if deliberately to make Puel.

Abang Raho, who passed the ball, rushed up to knock down Mitchell, and then more English players rushed up. Even goalkeeper Joe Hart ran up from behind, you can see how excited the Englishman is.

Yes, they are excited. Because they not only lead the French team, but also let the boss see clearly what the strong enemy France team he has been dreading and touting is exactly! It's simply vulnerable!

"Benzema, Gourcuff, Ben Alpha...A group of geniuses in the French team are at a loss for this ball!"

They are really at a loss. They are still standing in front of them. How can they think that the first offensive failure resulted in the loss of the ball?

Dunn walked back after doing a twisting dance in front of the French team's coaching staff, met Des Walker's expectant eyes, and smiled: "The storm is coming, Dess."

※※※

Yes, the storm came, and the first gust of wind overturned the roof of the greenhouse above the French team. The delicate flowers tremble and faltered in the storm.

In fact, at this time, the French team really hoped to get support from the stands, but at this time the French fans chose to be silent. Even if they wanted to make any noise, they were suppressed by the singing of English fans. In the San Mamés Stadium, only the singing of English fans can be heard, and only the singing of English fans can be heard. They turned the home of Deportivo into the Premier League.

Dunn’s compliment to the French team before the game not only made the English players very angry, but also made the English fans angry. Seeing that their team was ahead of the French team so quickly, they were happy to let their singing come. Embarrassed Dunn.

As the game continued, the French team couldn't boost morale anyway in the singing of the English fans. They wanted to attack, but found that England's backcourt defense was solid. More importantly, they lack the experience to deal with this situation. The head coach didn't tell them before the game that they would lose the ball in the opening minute and a half. What should they do next? Should we continue to attack as originally planned, or should we pay more attention to defense?

After losing the ball, Sacco shouted at his teammates in the frontcourt, asking them to actively return to defense, otherwise they would not be able to defend themselves with four guards, not to mention two full-backs who like assists among the four guards. The players in the frontcourt did not listen to him, and now they have the idea of ​​equalizing the score in their minds. The French team's front and back courts are gradually out of touch.

Puel also lacked countermeasures, and he was helpless on the sidelines. Because he is also hesitating in his heart-is this loss an accident or a premeditated trick by the opponent?

In the end, he thought it was nothing more than an accident, so he ordered the team to continue to attack, try to equalize the score earlier and put the game back on the right track.

But he was wrong.

The squally winds in England are getting stronger and stronger, and the rainstorms are getting bigger and bigger. The heavy rain drops on people's faces like hail.

In the 23rd minute, England seized the opportunity of the French team's eagerness to equalize, and through a quick counterattack, Abang Raho personally scored a goal to extend the lead to two goals.

After the goal, Abang Raho opened his arms and ran towards the corner flag, but he did not escape the fate of being crushed under him.

"2:0! The England team has completely mastered the initiative. They are leading the French team by two goals! This is really something we didn't expect before the game... The French team, which was previously considered the favorite to win the championship, was actually beaten by England in 20 minutes. He scored two goals in a row and couldn't fight back!"

"I can't believe what I saw, our team was two goals behind...what's wrong? Why did Benzema, Gourcuff, Ben Alpha, Nasri disappear? What about our defensive players? The talented goalkeeper Loris, who had only conceded one goal before, conceded two goals in 20 minutes. It’s really unexpected..." The French commentator was very frustrated. He himself couldn't understand why the French team had such a performance, and the French players and coaches also couldn't understand.

The group of England players in front of them are like lions who have been hungry for several days. Not only did they not lose strength, they were more fierce and dangerous. Even the breath that he exhaled was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if he had just walked out of the depths of hell.

They are desperately fighting the French team players in every corner of the stadium, even if it is not a five-five-five kick, they have to grab the ball, which makes the French very jealous. Not only that, when they get an offensive opportunity, they must do their best to make the French team's defenders feel more difficult to defend. This is an irrational play, but the French team has nothing to do with them.

After England led by two goals, they didn't stop there, but got more and more vigorous. Waves of offensive play by the French team can only shrink the defense, and there is no way to threaten England's penalty area.

However, because of this, the French team did not continue to concede the ball in the second half of the first half. When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, all the fearful Frenchmen let out a sigh of relief-at least Within the next fifteen minutes, they were safe.
