Green Life

Ma Keqin was standing in the middle of the team, shaking hands with the Ghanaian players who lined up, and the long guns and short cannons of many photographers on the sidelines had already densely formed a forest, flashing non-stop.

The Royal Banfokeng Stadium has long been boiling. The fans on both sides are shouting loudly, mixed with the buzzing Zula with magical vitality, which has injected an unsettling restlessness here!

Even the air in autumn and winter was scorching and hot. When it was Essien's turn, he and Mark Qin hugged and said, "We meet again". Many conversations on the field have given them some friendship off the field. , not to mention that there are three of his Chelsea teammates in the England team.

The whole world is talking about the "half Beckenbauer" Maxim, the young Joss.

The lighting around the field is repaired, just like the shadowless lights on the operating table. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly find the shadows of the players in the green shade. Yellow, red and white are divided into two distinct colors.

"No. 18, Mark", "No. 18, Mark...", the commentators of countless TV stations began to focus on introducing the key players of the two teams, like prophets, predicting who will be the master today.

When the last Ghanaian player and Joe Hart, who was ranked first, passed by, there was an even bigger roar in the stands of the stadium. Gerrard took the team flag and walked towards the referee, while Mark Qin and the others quickly ran towards Ben. square half.

"Friends from the audience, the second 1/8 final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the match between England, the top team in Group C, and Ghana, the second team in Group D, is about to start. I am Duan Xuan..."

"Guys, this is the familiar Lineker. Wilson and Neville are still sitting next to me. After three days, England finally ushered in the first knockout game..."

Ma Keqin walked outside the middle circle and jumped, reconfirmed the fatigue of his muscles, and felt good. The more than 60 minutes of playing time in the last two games still effectively saved his physical energy.

Libero is the most energy-intensive character on the field, so even though his running efficiency is very high, he still has to cherish every drop of his energy like a traveler in the desert treats water.

Three games a week, for his age, the schedule is still a bit dense, but the competition has always been like this, just like the Christmas schedule of the Premier League, it is breathless.

The referee Victor from Hungary looked at his watch for the last time and blew the whistle in his mouth on time. The sound of the whistle was like turning on a switch. The English players who were waiting for Ghana to kick off outside the middle circle quickly started to move towards their respective goals. Press down.

The style of African teams is largely similar to Brazil without Europeanization, that is, the Brazilian team before the millennium. The overall rhythm is slow, but the players are in excellent physical condition (mainly referring to flexibility) and have strong ability to hold the ball under their feet. Often rely on small-scale quick coordination to penetrate the opponent's defense.

The same is true for the Ghana team. After the kick-off, they were not very busy because of England's quick attack. The five-four-one formation had enough players to make them fall back.

"Okay, the game has already started," Duan Xuan explained, "Ghana kicked off first, and England pressed very aggressively. Rooney followed Essien all the way, and Essien passed to defender Incombe."

England used Barry, who was lagging behind, as the fan handle, fortified layer by layer, formed a 321 frontcourt oppressive formation, and rushed straight to Ghana's backcourt. Now their tactical style has undergone tremendous changes. The first task of each game is to Fight for possession.

Mark Qin with the ball at his feet can create the greatest threat!

Ghanaian goalkeeper Kingston did not dare to play fire under Rooney's pressure, but simply drove to the frontcourt with a big foot. The tactical strategy Lajevac formulated for them was defensive counterattack.

The ball flew directly to England's backcourt, and Upson squeezed Ji'an forward hard, and pushed the ball back, which happened to be in the direction of Mark Qin.

"Boom", Ma Keqin didn't stop the ball at all, but flicked the ball with his head, and slammed it directly towards Barry, but he still couldn't escape Essien's collision. "Beep", the referee called the foul without hesitation.

The four players in Ghana's midfield are all strong and able to run. Lajevac even put the winger Annan who started three games in the group stage off the field, just because he is small.

The purpose is obvious.

Barry came over and pulled Mark Qin up, and the two kicked off immediately. He didn't know anything about the Ghana team now, so he had to figure out their defense as soon as possible.

He and Barry kicked back and forth near the middle circle, and found that the Ghanaian team did not press forward at all, only Ji An harassed nearby, and their defensive formation was compressed in all places in the 40-meter area, and the front and rear were very compact.

Without even thinking about it, Ma Keqin seized the opportunity and passed it over the top to the space on the left side suitable for Rooney's sprint. The ball flew straight up, and the two figures, one white and one yellow, started almost simultaneously.

"Rooney, the over-the-top pass from Mark Qin, hit the left side of the box, Incombe was chasing back, and Panthill, Incombe, went down early and swept the ball to Panthill , this time England’s attack was not successful,” Duan Xuan said.

"Hey, it's because Koum is only 21 years old. Lajevac is quite brave. This guy is really not weak. Just now Rooney can catch up with the ball and it will form a shot," Zhang Lu commented.

"From the attack just now, we can see that Ghana's defense line is raised a little bit higher. It did not guard in front of the penalty area, but formed a densely populated area behind the arc top of the middle circle. Zhang Zhi, what do you think?" Duan Xuan asked again. asked.

Zhang Lu pondered for a while, and said: "It is estimated that Lajevac has also carefully studied England's group stage. He strictly guarded against death in the 40-meter area, which may be to suppress the back-and-forth of the England midfield four. Defending the organization in the third zone, as for the behind, these central defenders in Ghana are really not slow to chase back."

Just as he was talking, the ball reached the feet of Ghanaian right-back Panthill. He glanced ahead, and it was a direct pass from the sideline, and central midfielder Asamoah responded with a cover.

Asamoah directly carried Ashley Cole with his back on the wing, stopped the ball in the chest, saw that there was no chance to turn around, and kicked back to Essien in the middle.

England retreated to defend, and Mark Qin and Lampard pressed Essien one after another. This is the core of Ghana's midfield and they must take it seriously.

After running for two laps, Ma Keqin discovered that the African teams have a magical nature, that is, they will lead their opponents to be as "lazy" as they are, and their overall passing rhythm is too slow.

The player's habit of holding the ball is to dawdle under his feet for a while after catching the ball, and look left and right. It stands to reason that this style of play has long been robbed, but it is because of their physical talents that play a big role. Ball protection is not so easy to be broken.

When England had the ball just now, they didn't increase their pace of confrontation and defend on the top. Now they have the ball and they don't rush to attack, but you can't say that they are particularly well organized.

But the overall feeling for Mark Qin is that it is awkward no matter how you look at it.

Asamoah, who was responding on the wing just now, returned to the midfield and formed a triangle with Essien and Boateng. After passing a few kicks back and forth, another long pass was sent to the feet of the left midfielder Ayew.

Ayew played for Marseille, and he is considered a well-known star in Ligue 1. He has good speed breakthroughs from the wing. "Ghana's Ayew got the ball from the wing. Facing Johnson, Gerrard also came back." Duan Xuan continued commentary.

The scorching atmosphere in the stands didn't seem to affect the personal style of these magical African geniuses. This time Ghana got up fast, but not overall fast, but individual fast.

After a shake, Ayou kicked the ball three or four meters along the sideline, and then directly fought with Johnson for speed, "Ayou, the speed is very fast, Johnson and the two of them are pulling each other, Johnson, the tackle, fouled , Ayou poked the ball away first, and Ghana won a free kick from the wing about 40 meters away," Duan Xuan shouted.

"Is it because of some physical problems after the game three days ago or something?" Zhang Lu said uncertainly, "After England fought for a while at the beginning, now the two teams seem to be dying down."

Capello stood on the sidelines with his chest folded. He was mentally prepared for this situation. Physical fitness is part of it. They were indeed a little tired, but the other side didn't take advantage of it.

In fact, the most important thing is that the Ghana team is different from their opponents in the group stage. The Ghana team's physical talent will reduce the success rate of England's steals under the current physical condition. Once they are beaten behind, this kind of elimination system will be very troublesome. Perot wouldn't take that risk.

Therefore, England's choice is the same as Ghana's coach Lajevac, who quickly recovered in the frontcourt, and then sniped with all his strength after the middle circle.

But sometimes, even if you consider all the disadvantages and choose the right strategy, you still can't prevent some surprises from coming.

"The Ghana team took a free kick, Asamoah came to take the penalty, the curve ball was passed directly, and Terry pushed it out", Duan Xuan explained as usual, and did not see any particularly exciting scenes.

"Essien got the ball again, yo, Essien is going for a long shot..." Essien stopped the ball directly on the chest and stepped forward. He swung his thigh 40 meters away, and Lampard and Lampard who came out of the top defense Seeing this, Mark Qin hurriedly went up to block it, especially Lampard, who was too aware of the unreasonable nature of Essien's long-range shots.

It's just that Essien didn't know when he learned the truth. Seeing the two of Mark Qin and the others coming up to block the shooting route, he directly changed his shot to knocking, and knocked directly to Mark Qin's right.

Ma Keqin turned his head and saw that it was also a long-range turret. Boateng, who also just came out of the penalty area, followed Essien's pass, turned halfway and swung his left leg.

"Essien, Essien, he passed the ball", this time Duan Xuan's tone was a little nervous, "Give it to Boateng, turn around in the front half of the penalty area, and shoot...", he shouted loudly.

The England defenders who were pressing out together just had time to subconsciously turn their backs and try to block it, but the ball still jumped from between Upson and Terry.

Joe Hart was obviously not prepared for the sudden long-range shot to the foot. Although the angle was not very tricky, he was very powerful. He made a side attack and then made a fatal mistake. He hit the ball into the penalty area!

"Joe Hart, it's coming out, ouch, it's dangerous, Ji'an, Ji'an, the ball has scored", Duan Xuan shouted loudly, even he felt a little unreal, so it scored?

"This ball doesn't seem to be offside," Zhang Lu said uncertainly, "Joe Hart, he performed well on the field, but he made a mistake at the beginning of this game, how could he hit the ball in the middle?" Zhang Zhi was born as a goalkeeper , have a say on this.

"Woo", buzzing Zula's voice reached a new height as the Ghanaian players ran wildly in celebration. The linesman did not raise the flag, although Terry and Joe Hart surrounded the referee and accused the opponent of offside. But it did not change the referee's decision.

Capello stretched out his hands to his forehead in depression, if I leave get out of class early, I will be tricked to death by your fucking goalkeepers, and I am completely powerless to complain.

Mark Qin and Gerrard stepped forward and pulled away Terry and Joe Hart, who were still relentless to the referee, "Calm down, calm down, Joe", Mark Qin pushed Joe Hart and shouted loudly, because in this way he can Listen clearly, "You are the last line of defense in front of our door, I want you to calm down, understand?"

"We will definitely score, so one conceded goal is not the end of the world, but you can't mess up, understand?" He patted Hart on the face, "Calm down, make sure we don't concede again, we can overtake, understand?"

"Huh", Joe Hart, who was pushed to the door, let out a long breath and nodded vigorously.

"Oh my gosh, we got off to a nightmare start...," Lineker said dejectedly.

"Royal Banfok, are you against us?"
