Football: Rejected by the national football team, I will fly to England

Chapter 0180: Shouldn’t Lin Xu beat the whole scene? They wouldn’t be so unlucky, would they?!!

“352？”

Hearing Kane say this, the English players on the field were stunned

Someone couldn’t help but turn their heads.

I took a look at the young young man standing on the edge of the court.

But it’s only a few seconds.

After Kane relayed what Southgate said, the players reacted quickly.

Also understood what the manager meant.

Although the team has never practiced such a two-center formation in the past training and games, in this regard, the current national team really has no experience.

But as professional players, whether in so many game video highlights they have seen or tried in past club games, most people also know how to play this formation.

Take a step back and say.

Even if you haven’t played this tactic.

Their opponent today, San Marino, doesn’t play in this formation.

It’s been almost half a game.

San Marino’s formation, they also know almost the same.

Learning now and using it now, right?

No need for Kane to say too much

Foden, who originally played as a left winger, has consciously returned to the middle and returned to the position of the organizational midfield, leaving the front line to Lin Xu and Kane

Bellingham and Phillips’ positions dragged behind.

Arnold, Foden, Saka, the position of the three people stood in a parallel line, and the opposite positions became more compact.

Although the entire midfield is five, it has actually become an inverted trapezoid, with the front three people organizing the attack and the back two being responsible for intercepting the defense.

From the perspective of standing alone, it is more like a 3232 formation.

England’s formation changed quickly.

In less than half a minute of Kane’s play, the change was already done and everyone was where they were supposed to go.

In the live broadcast room.

The commentators are also discussing.

“Well, it’s really going to play a two-center formation.”

And Zhan Jun was right.

“Both sides are 352, interesting, see if this 352 in England can work, Kane and Lin Xu…”

Zhan Jun’s tone was slightly deep, and he said in a low voice, “The key is to see if these two people can play the effect of 1+1 greater than 2 on the field.” ”

“Teacher Zhan Jun doesn’t seem to be optimistic about Kane and Lin Xu partnering as a double center?”

Senior Colonel Guan looked at Zhan Jun a little puzzled.

It wasn’t Zhan Jun who said just now, if you don’t try to let Kane and Lin Xu coexist, when Lin Xu’s physical fitness goes up and can play a whole game, Kane will be wasted on the bench.

Why did Kane go up at this time, and this man’s expression became a little solemn again.

“It’s not that I’m not optimistic…”

Zhan Jun scratched his chin and said hesitantly, “I actually think that the best way is to let Kane go up and play a position similar to a shadow striker, or directly let him go to the midfield as a forward fulcrum, this is the best way for him and Lin Xu to coexist, playing double center…”

Zhan Jun hissed and pondered the wording.

“The problem with playing double center is that other people’s offensive ability is weakened.”

“Look.”

“When England played 433 before, these people on the wing, whether it was Foden, Sancho, Saka, or Smith Rowe, who only started for the first time today, played very well with Lin Xu, and they were able to show a certain offensive ability.”

“Wing forward, inverted triangle back, etc., these tactics, a few of them can complete.”

“But be like England is now.”

“the call 352—”

Zhan Jun glanced at Colonel Guan, and the rest of the words were not spoken.

However, whether it is a fan or Guan Zeyuan, they have already understood what Zhan Jun meant.

Playing 352 means that these players who return to the center will not be directly involved in the attack for more time as before, but will become a cannonball delivery identity.

The team’s main offensive point will be concentrated on Lin Xu and Kane, who form a double arrow in front.

It’s not that it’s bad.

Lin Xu’s offensive ability is beyond doubt.

As long as someone can pass him the ball in the back, he can create his own chances.

Don’t worry too much.

Although Kane has been in a slump in form at club and country in recent times, his individual strength is still here.

He is still one of the top center forwards in football.

If the two of them can be compatible on the pitch, it will certainly be a good thing for England.

It’s just that

Senior Colonel Guan understood what Zhan Jun was regretting.

In the past few World Qualifiers in England.

The Three Lions’ young wingers, apart from Happy Football spokesperson Raheem Sterling, have performed well, like Foden, Sancho, Saka, Grealish and, today, Smith Rowe.

Especially when Lin Xu was present, his performance was even more prominent.

Just like those from Petersburg, who were once substitutes, are now the main players, Randall, Kanu, Dembele and others.

Lin Xu also seems to have activated these equally young midfielders in the national team

When playing Andorra, Sancho shoots two passes and Foden shoots three and one shot.

When playing Hungary, Gręlish made a pass and a shot.

And today, England’s six goals, Smith Rowe, who started for the first time, passed and shot, and it was Lin Xu who gave the assist, and the assist was also Lin Xu

The same goes for Foden.

Saka also has an assist.

Except for Stirling.

Sterling’s wave-to-fly footwork may not be saved by anyone.

That’s why Zhan Jun is regretting.

On the one hand, Harry Kane, who is only twenty-eight years old this year, is also at the peak of his career, if he and Lin Xu’s position overlap, he will not get any opportunities to play in the future, just like Messi and Dybala of the Argentine national team, wasting a top player on the bench in vain, which is inevitably a pity.

But on the other hand.

If Southgate lets Kane and Lin Xu play together in a formation like 352, then these young players who originally played wingers, worked well with Lin Xu, and had good statistics, would lose their creativity on the offensive end.

This is also a pity.

But there is no way around it.

If you want Kane and Lin Xu to coexist, you must sacrifice something.

It depends on whether this sacrifice is worth it.

“There’s another problem.”

Colonel Guan, who was attracted by Zhan Jun’s words, turned around again.

“When Lin Xu and Kane are on the field at the same time, who is the priority to pass the ball to the midfielders?”

“Is it for Lin Xu?”

“Or to Kane?”

If it is not handled well, this will also be a big problem.

If England had practiced this tactic in advance, or Southgate had explained it in advance, it might not have been a problem.

But it is clear that the players’ arrangement of Southgate is also surprising that it is not a tactic prepared by England in advance.

“Anyway.”

Senior Colonel Guan touched his chin, “Let’s first see the effect of Kane and Lin Xu playing together.” ”

‘Tottenham striker has been in pretty average form lately, and I don’t know if Garthgate has given him a little more playing time and can improve it.’

Former England captain and Tottenham Hotspur’s striker, Harry Kane, has reached the eleventh round of the Premier League this season, and has scored only four league goals in total.

Not to mention the ranking on the league scorers list.

It can only be ranked third in the team.

This statistic does not match his identity and status as a star.

Especially in the recent period, it has suffered several goal droughts in a row.

The ball doesn’t feel smooth to the extreme.

It’s not going well at the club, it’s the same in the national team.

In the four World Cup games starting with Andorra, Southgate has had Kane come off the bench for at least 20 to 30 minutes in each of these matches, but in those minutes, Kane has not been able to score.

Even defender Stones has scored.

Kane’s goal drought has not been broken.

“So, Southgate in this game today, the first half did not end, just replace Kane, there is also a certain possibility, is to let this former national team captain, a little more playing time, looking for the feeling of scoring is also possible.”

“After all, playing San Marino is the best chance for Jing Ding to break the goal drought.”

This speculation of Senior Colonel Guan was recognized by Zhan Jun.

When the two were chatting in the live broadcast room.

On the sidelines.

San Marino coach Varela is frowning in thought.

The 68-year-old old man, while thinking, swept his eyes with the corner of his eye, standing on his other side, separated by the English young marshal Southgate a few meters away.

England, what does this mean?

Varela was a bit elusive about Southgate’s substitution.

Harry Kane came on and replaced Lin Xu, which is almost everyone’s default English standard substitution process.

When making tactical arrangements before the game.

What San Marino considered was that when it was almost sixty or seventy minutes, the English side replaced Lin Xu and replaced Kane, and they followed suit.

The first sixty or seventy minutes let the players on the field do their best to defend

When Lin Xu was about to leave, they would replace the players who were too physically exerted.

In general, according to past experience.

On the English side, they will have more power in the first half.

San Marino has also studied that at least in the last four World Qualifiers, England’s goals have basically been completed while Lin is present.

In the second half, Lin Xu went down.

Competitions often go into the last garbage time.

So the focus of the defense is on the first seventy minutes.

Unlike other teams, San Marino has enough players to be replaced at any time.

There are also few official professional players on their team.

Even now in these starters, there are some amateur players, let alone sitting on the bench.

It’s hard to say.

It’s good that they can put together a full squad for the game.

Couldn’t ask for more.

So originally Valeira was thinking, let the players try their best to defend first, and when Lin Xu is going down, he will change people, and the rest of the time should be able to relax.

It’s not that they look down on Kane.

In fact, now Lin Xu is a greater threat to any team.

But now…

Southgate replaced Kane without finishing the first half! And!

Didn’t replace Lin Xu!

They actually have to change to the 352 formation like San Marino! Varela was stunned.

He kept sweeping the afterlight

Looking at the strict English young marshal wearing a suit and vest three-piece, he couldn’t help but think in his heart, England, should Lin Xu play the whole scene?!

They wouldn’t be so unlucky, would they?

Varela has also been in charge of San Marino for a few years.

Let’s be honest.

Coaching the San Marino national team is arguably the easiest coaching job in the world.

There is no pressure on the grades.

No one will interfere with his arrangement and command.

San Marino’s Football Association has never criticized Varela for his achievements.

Fans are also easily satisfied, even if Varela has hardly won a game since he took office, he will lose a lot of games in every game, and the fans will rarely be like others

Fans of the country go to complain about their teams, players, and managers.

They are naturally optimistic.

As long as San Marino scores a goal, it will be praised and praised by the people of the whole country.

Every time a goal is scored, San Marino celebrates the team as if it had won some heavyweight championship.

The name of the player who scored each goal is written in the commemorative book.

Coaching in such a national team, Varela leads the team more out of a sense of responsibility as a head coach.

Although he knows that fans don’t care how many goals they lost today, because Nanni’s goal was enough to send the whole of San Marino into a carnival after the game.

But Varela still wants a better outcome for San Marino.

At least.

Don’t concede too many goals.

He called midfielder Daddario, who was relatively close.

In Daddario’s ear, a few words were whispered.

Daddario nodded and went back to relay the manager’s meaning to his teammates

San Marino’s formation has also quietly undergone a slight change.

Such a change is less obvious.

Nobody noticed.

Because of the celebration after San Marino’s goal, it was delayed for too long.

Although the referee did not stop the home players from celebrating, he still gave almost six minutes of stoppage time in accordance with the rules towards the end of the first half

Just entered injury time.

England’s attack has already arrived.

Or a broken ball from midfielder Bellingham.

The Dort midfielder has made at least six successful tackles on the pitch today, ranking first in the team, and has not received a single yellow card, and each tackle is very clean.

This time too.

The football was snatched from the feet of San Marino midfielder Muraroni.

However, because Bellingham’s current position is relatively delayed.

After grabbing the ball.

Bellingham didn’t take it forward either.

Instead, he quickly observed the front and back, left and right.

I looked at the position of my teammates in front of me and the defensive strength around me.

After thinking about it for a few seconds.

Bellingham opted for a long pass and transferred the ball widely to Saka on the right.

Saka had only one Tomasi on his side.

This ball catches easily.

At the first time he got the ball, Saka’s subconscious reaction was to pass the ball to Lin Xu in front, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Harry Kane in front.

Saka immediately hesitated.

This ball… Is it for the captain, or for the former captain?

Kane was raising his hand to signal that he was running into place.

But Lin Xu’s location is also very good.

And Saka knows that Lin Xu is near the small penalty area, that position is Lin Xu’s best position to play the goal, if this ball is passed to Lin Xu, eighty percent is a must-score

But Kane was also raising his hand…

When Lin Xu was present before, Kane was not there.

Usually Kane came up, and Lin Xu also went down.

Even in the training match, these two people will not be in the same team, and they have never met two people in the front court at the same time, waiting for the time to feed the cake

Who is the pie made for…

In these few seconds of Saka hesitation.

There were already two defenders behind him.

San Marino midfielders Tomasi and Lunard left and right, a tackle, a slot, directly turned the Arsenal winger with the ball.

The referee decisively came up and pulled out a topaz card.

Gave No. 7 Tomasi.

However, this ball was outside the box, no one took a free kick and did not give a penalty.

Tomasi’s tackle was towards the ball, and when he sensed that he was going to kick someone, he collected his leg in time, and when he kicked the Saka shin pad, he had already unloaded most of his strength.

It’s just that Tomasi’s kick just kicked on the left leg that bears the center of gravity of the body, and Saka did not stand firmly and fell to the ground.

The Saka people are fine.

It was a waste of a good offensive opportunity.

When I got up from the ground, I looked a little annoyed.

“That’s what we’re talking about.”

Zhan Jun opened his mouth and said…
