Chapter 288 Group Stage: England VS Belgium (Part 2)
In fact, many people are not optimistic about England when Belgium faces them this time. You know, the Belgian national team is simply a super combination of the Premier League + Ligue 1 + Bundesliga + Serie A + Chinese Super League.
This is not alarmist. Just look at the forwards Belgium has released now. Hazard is now from Chelsea in the Premier League and is the leading striker of the Blues Chelsea. His partner Batshuayi is also from the Blues Chelsea. The two wingers Romelu are from Manchester United, and Mertens is still a winger for Napoli in Serie A.
In the midfield, De Bruyne and Fellaini are both Manchester United players, Dembele is from Tottenham, and even Carrasco and Witsel are Chinese Super League players.
Some people say that Belgium dismantled the main parts of major clubs and then pieced them together at home. Let me ask you, what can you finally put together by dismantling the parts of the main players of major clubs?
Of course, this depends on how the head coach plays. When the head coach has good skills, he can produce a tank, but when his skills are not so good, he may produce a tractor.
Obviously, Belgium put out a tank this time, but when the commander of their tank saw England's lineup, he immediately realized the problem - Eggsy.
Everyone can see the ability of Eggsy, and it is impossible for Belgium to ignore Eggsy. At the beginning of the game, Eggsy rushed directly to the midfield, and De Bruyne fought back and forth with him in the midfield after holding the ball.
Although this interception failed to stop the ball, it was still effective for Belgium's overall attack. At least during this period of interception, England's back line had been prepared for defense, and had already blocked Hazard's preparations to receive the ball and block the point, preventing him from occupying an advantageous position.
Of course, this goal was wasted. Everyone in Belgium felt a little sorry that this quick attack was ruined by the interception of the midfield. But they also knew that if Fellaini hadn't come to help clear the ball, Ali and Dale hadn't been able to come to intercept it in time, and De Bruyne hadn't wanted to fight and immediately passed the ball, it would be unknown whether the ball could have been passed.
This situation made the Belgian head coach immediately notice Eggsy. The game against England had only been played for 3 minutes, and the Belgian head coach suddenly waved to his defender on the sidelines and said something.
Everyone in the stadium knew that Belgium was going to make some lineup changes, but they didn't know who it was aimed at. When the entire Belgian lineup changed its position, Sir Alex Ferguson's face changed instantly.
Of course, Eggsy on the field also saw that this was aimed at him. It was obvious that Belgium had strengthened the defense on both sides of the sideline, which was to compress the entire tactical area of England.
In this way, if Eggsy and the other two midfielders want to control the field, as long as Belgium follows up and compresses their ball control area, it will be useless for them no matter how good the English midfield is at controlling the ball.
So Eggsy saw it, and Ferguson saw it too, but how to ruin this game? Eggsy looked at his own tactical position. Although he had some ideas in mind, he still turned to look at Sir Ferguson to see if the Sir had any tactical arrangements.
Coincidentally, Sir Ferguson was also looking at Eggsy. The two of them were stunned when their eyes met. Immediately, Sir Ferguson made a gesture to Eggsy. It was very simple and quick, but Eggsy immediately understood and actually moved his position forward.
Um? ? ?
Is it the Belgian coach's turn to be confused? Eggsy moved forward? What does this mean? ?
Of course, you can estimate the opponent's tactics by different positions, but for these unpredictable tactical arrangements, you will know them after playing.
So the offense and defense switched here, and Eggsy deliberately did not hold the ball, but watched Ali and Dale start to pass the ball in both directions to break through. There were two defensive players around him, but Eggsy was not anxious at all, but looked at Vardy, Harry Kane and others in front.
Not to mention that they were constantly entangled by the defenders, the forwards were not having a good time either. The Belgian defenders were clearly using all their strength to block the ball. Ali finally passed the ball to Harry Kane, but Kane's pass was saved by the goalkeeper just like Hazard's before.
Eggsy turned around and went back to defense without any hesitation. The more he did this, the more confused the Belgian coach was about what Eggsy meant by this arrangement.
The stalemate in the first half continued. Eggsy was always in the midfield and the back half, which made the Belgian players and the head coach suspicious. What was the meaning of his moving forward? It couldn't be a show, a deliberate trick, right?
As for England, Belgium played faster and faster, and soon the two sides began to seesaw in the first half. In this almost crazy alternating attack, they did not lose the ball. This made the whole first half very thrilling.
During the half-time break, both the Belgian and English players were drenched in sweat. The weather was already a bit hot, and Eggsy felt that it was really uncomfortable to have the jersey stick to his body after being soaked by sweat, so he simply took it off.
No one stopped this behavior. The team doctor also said that once the sweaty jerseys stick to the bodies, it will easily take away the players' body temperature and make the players catch a cold in Russia, a land that has never been conquered by Europeans.
If a player catches a cold, it is definitely a big problem. So if you find that your jersey is soaked with sweat and sticks to your body and it is uncomfortable, you can take it off and wrap yourself with a towel to wipe off the sweat as soon as possible.
Eggsy took off his jersey, and the logistics staff immediately went to help him find his No. 14 jersey. However, during this time, Eggsy did not put on a towel immediately. Instead, he picked up a glass of water, poured it into his mouth and spit it out.
When he turned around, his body was soaked with water and sweat. Eggsy was still listening to Sir Alex Ferguson's words. When he heard his name, he just put down the water bottle and started talking to the Sir without even having time to put the big towel on himself.
This was a good deal for all the fans present. Fans who knew Eggsy and those who didn't all focused their attention on this glowing white boy. His abdominal muscles and smooth curves were so fascinating that all the fans present were so fascinated that even the flashlights were turned to one side.
"Oh, Eggsy," the host of the broadcast noticed this scene, and both the host and his guest couldn't help but sigh. "This figure is really good."
"That's right. Generally speaking, tall midfielders are more or less slow," the guest said. This is true. Midfielders over 185cm tall are not very fast, but Eggsy is definitely an outlier: "But Eggsy is definitely fast, and he is one of the fastest midfielders."
"Like teacher, like student. Let's look back at Eggsy's defense and interceptions in the first half, as well as his speed of breakthrough," the host said, and the director immediately cut Eggsy's entire image to the main screen, and then played Eggsy's running speed and distance. "This is really fast, and his endurance is also good."
"A perfect midfielder, both in terms of awareness and physical quality. But how can England break the current deadlock... Oh! Latest news!"
The host just got a piece of news. After taking a look, the host immediately explained the situation: "The results of the Croatian game that just ended are out. Croatia is the first to qualify for Group G. Now there is only one spot left, and it depends on this game!"
"What a coincidence! Modric from Croatia is Eggsy's teacher. Now that the master has qualified, the apprentice is still competing for the next spot."
The host's description of the master-disciple bond excited many fans of Eggsy or Modric. Of course, the two teams, which were taking a halftime break, received the news and knew that this was their last chance to go to Moscow to play in the World Cup.
After Eggsy put on his new jersey, everyone could vaguely hear sighs of regret from the entire stadium. Eggsy might not have noticed it just now, but now he heard it and couldn't help laughing. Of course, he couldn't restrain himself at this time, and his two little canine teeth were exposed.
Now, everyone in the audience was excited, no matter they were men or women, young or old, they couldn't resist seeing such a handsome and cute Eggsy, and many people even whistled in an attempt to "tease" Eggsy.
This time Eggsy really couldn't stand it anymore and had to cover his face with his hands. This was a face-saving move for the men present. After teasing the young player, he accidentally glanced at the entire England team.
Good guy...
Every one of them, from Sir Alex Ferguson to the players on the bench, looked at the booing fans with stern faces. Vardy was the first to stand in front of Eggsy and looked around.
That look, that aura, that stern expression, the Belgian team on the other side never received this treatment, so the audience on the scene got to have a taste of it first.
However, this made the audience even more excited. They even started shouting Eggsy's name and cheering for England.
The game must go on. Eggsy adjusted his state and immediately trotted onto the court. He also wanted to salute the fans around him who had just shouted his name, and then immediately adjusted his state.
When those golden eyes lit up, all the players in England looked at him, following Eggsy's lead!
