7:58pm local time in London!
The captains of the two teams, Terry and Srna, led their players to stand on their respective halves after completing the edge-guessing ceremony.
Sideline!
Capello, who was wearing glasses, still held his head proudly.
Bilic on the other side stared at the court expressionlessly.
Behind them, countless Three Lions fans were roaring crazily in the stands of Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 fans.
This is Wembley!
This is also the carnival place where their team advanced to the World Cup finals with eight consecutive wins!
However, among the roars that filled the sky, some different sounds could still be vaguely heard.
North Stand!
There was a group of Croatians wearing blue plaid jerseys shouting their team's name with all their strength!
Although it seems very small in the roar of the English people!
"CCTV!"
"CCTV!"
"Viewers!"
"Here is the key battle of the sixth group of the 2010 South Africa World Cup European Qualifiers being broadcast live for you!!"
“England vs Croatia at home!”
"The players from both teams have already stood in their respective halves after completing the edge-guessing ceremony!"
"The referee is also looking at his watch!"
"Beep!!!"
"With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!"
"First is the starting lineup of both sides!"
"The home team England's starting goalkeeper wearing the traditional white home jersey attacking from left to right: James!"
"Left back: Ashley Cole!"
"Centre-back: Terry paired with Rio Ferdinand!"
"Right back: Glen Johnson!"
"Four midfielders, Gerrard on the left, Lampard and Barry in the centre, Milner on the right!"
"Two forwards: Rooney and Defoe!"
"Capello still uses the 4-4-2 formation as before. Not only does he continue to use the formation, Capello still puts England's number one star David Beckham on the bench!"
"On the other side, Croatia's starting goalkeeper wearing a blue checkered away jersey attacks from right to left."
The game begins.
Just like the tens of thousands of England fans shouting loudly in the stands of Wembley Stadium.
As soon as the game started, England, which was full of superstars, pressed hard.
And under Bilic's deliberate arrangement, including Modric, Su Qin, and Mandzukic!
All Croatian players dropped back to their own half and started their defense.
Capello, who was on the sidelines, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth when he saw Croatia adopt such a defensive posture from the beginning.
Yes!
In the previous analysis by Capello and his coaching team, he faced a situation where his strength far exceeded his own.
Bilic can only set up such a bus at his own Wembley.
However, what Capello is a little curious about is that Bilic obviously intends to defend, why not use Eduardo, who has good speed and shooting, to counterattack, but instead use a newcomer who looks a bit clumsy?
No!
Not only is there a newcomer, but including the one named Su on the 21st, Bilic has two newcomers directly.
Facing the powerful England, arrange such a formation?
Is this guy planning to use that bullshit twin-tower tactic that the media is bragging about?
On the court!
England really seemed to take over the game from the whistle.
Everyone keeps saying that two virtues cannot coexist.
But in the hands of Capello, after placing Gerrard on the wing, the lag in the transition of England's midfield suddenly disappeared.
Gerrard kept plugging in on the left, and at the same time helped Barry get rid of the pinch from Modric and Kranica.
And, the most important thing is, whether it is Gerrard or Lampard!
These two are both top stars with huge attributes.
The game just started 2 minutes ago.
After England went through a series of reverse kicks in the midfield, Barry sent the ball to the left side of the outer edge of the penalty area.
That location!
Gerrard didn't wait for the Croatian midfielder Fokjevic to pounce, and hit the football with his right foot.
"boom!!!"
A bang!
I saw the football under Gerrard's feet rising up from the ground as if it was going to explode and rushing towards the Kmura goalkeeper Pletikosa.
very lucky!
Although Gerrard's long-range shot was very powerful, it hit too straight and was dragged off the crossbar by Pletikosa, who was in an excellent position!
Croatia kind of dodged a bullet.
While Pletikosa kept shaking his numb palms!
Right on the edge of Croatia's penalty area!
Seeing that such a good opportunity was thrown away, Gerrard also looked annoyed.
"hiss!"
"Gerrard's shot was unlucky. If it was just a little bit deflected, at that speed of the ball, Pletikosa would definitely have no time to react!"
"I have to say that Capello's formation today has Bilic in mind."
"Knowing that Croatia is going to set up a bus, just drive the double-German cannon barrel to your Croatian midfield. Let's see how long your bus can defend it!"
3rd minute of the game!
England got the first corner kick of the game.
but!
Just as Lampard was walking towards the corner with the football in his arms.
A very interesting episode occurred at Wembley Stadium.
For some unknown reason, the on-site director actually turned the camera to Beckham on the bench.
Corner time, give the camera to Beckham?
Ever since!
Tens of thousands of England fans began to shout Beckham's name excitedly.
You know, if Beckham was on the court, these so-called free kicks would still be corner kicks!
Only one person is qualified to take the penalty against him.
The sky was full of Beckham's voice, but Beckham just put his chin with his hand and looked at everything on the court quietly with no expression on his face!
Milan city!
The madman who was always paying attention to his little Susu happened to see this scene.
Suddenly!
A bold idea appeared in the madman's mind.
Beckham has now played in Major League Baseball for two seasons.
However, Beckham's competitive state is absolutely no problem in playing halftime in Serie A.
This can be seen from his short loan spell with AC Milan last season.
Especially in the previous World Cup qualifiers, when Beckham was a substitute, his crosses could be said to be just short of pushing Crouch's head.
However, even with that kind of opportunity, Crouch couldn't score the ball.
if!
What if Crouch's head was replaced by Su Qin's?
right!
The madman has always felt that Inter Milan lacks a wide player who can help Inter Milan provide assists with the final word.
perhaps
Thinking of this, Lao Mu felt that he had gained a little from watching the annoying Bilic's games these days.
Anyway, Beckham is still contacting teams that can keep him in shape.
I simply contacted them in advance and brought Beckham and Pandev to Inter Milan during the winter break.
By then, whether it’s Serie A, the Champions League, or, worst of all, the Coppa Italia.
Just with that long pass, Beckham can become a big killer for Inter Milan!
At Wembley Stadium!
At this time, Su Qin didn't know that his dear Mu was already giving his dream striker the support he needed in future games.
At this moment, he is facing the most important challenge of his career.
Yes!
Terry!
The world's number one central defender, who has been tied to him these days, is facing off against him.
Not an attack!
But England's corner defense.
He was assigned by Srna to guard Terry.
No need to think about it, Su Qin also knows!
At this moment, all the cameras in the entire Wembley Stadium have been pointed at him.
However, at this time, Su Qin not only didn't feel nervous at all.
On the contrary, I was a little excited.
He also wants to know what will happen if Harland eats raw modules and meets John Terry in his prime? ? ?
Guys, Pikachu did not break his promise, here comes the third update.
