Chapter 963: Veteran in question

963 The Questioned Veteran

The score in the first half was somewhat unexpected.

No one would have thought.

Costa Rica will end the first half with a goal!

Before the game, people generally speculated that for the two teams that have already determined to qualify.

The pace of the game may not be very fast, and there will not be many goals.

However, England, as a more powerful team, even if it cannot win, it will at least be a draw. If it is a tie, England will qualify first in the group with the advantage of a large goal difference.

however....

The score in the first half surprised many fans.

"It is no accident that Costa Rica can defeat Italy and Uruguay!"

This sentence came from Duan Xuan's mouth.

Before the game, many commentators have said similar things, but there are definitely not many people who really take this sentence seriously.

And now, people are beginning to realize.

With such a small team as Costa Rica, their energy may surprise the world!

In the same group as England, Italy, and Uruguay, he won the first qualifying group.

I am afraid it is not impossible!

....

When players from both sides entered the player channel one after another.

The Costa Rica fans in the stands were very happy.

They sang and danced and showed the passion of Latin American people on this stadium.

The beauties of Costa Rica were wearing cool clothes, and when they saw the camera turned around, they blew kisses one after another!

This is the World Cup for the players. Isn't it the World Cup for the fans?

At least for now, people in Costa Rica are enjoying it so much, enjoying their own feast.

....

On the TV screen.

Brian Ruiz’s central lob shot was played countless times!

"This will be a strong candidate for the best goal in this World Cup!"

Although Van Persie's jumped header appeared before this game, and there was a flying fairy from Ronaldo, the two even had a chance to compete for the Puskas Prize goal.

However, when this lob shot appeared, I am afraid that the most annoying is the committee members who are now responsible for the selection of the best goals in the World Cup!

In the World Cup, the group stage has not yet ended, and there have been world-class operations one after another.

It is indeed the World Cup held in Brazil, a football kingdom!

Even such rare world waves have appeared one after another.

"Johart again!"

When Duan Xuan's words spread across China through TV screens.

Countless Chinese fans smiled heartily.

This is true for the players all over the world.

Joe Hart has no idea how many times he has become the background board of the world wave...

......

Pinto is now a little proud, but also a little nervous.

The lead is gratifying, but the game still has forty-five minutes!

Who knows what can happen in these forty-five minutes?

Therefore, during the intermission, what he hastened to emphasize is defense!

Desperate defense!

"We are going to cast a steel concrete wall in front of the door!!"

Pinto roared, waving his arms!

His face was extremely excited, and at the same time he looked a little distorted!

The same goes for most Costa Rican players!

Beat England and qualify first in the group! Enter the lower half!

In this way, their opponent is likely to be...Greece, thus avoiding the strong team of Colombia!

Costa Rica may even go further and enter the quarterfinals! !

Even Navas couldn't help but get excited when he thought of such a prospect!

"I'm sorry, boss!"

Navas secretly encouraged in his heart!

"Even if it's facing your team! I will never let you score a goal!!"

Navas' face was glowing!

....

"Next, what we have to face is a defensive team!"

In the locker room, Gao Bo said. He didn't say anything about the loss of the first half. In fact, England's advantage in the first half was the same as that of crushing. However, the opponent triggered the Hart attribute.

Gao Bo looked at Hart, and even felt sympathy deep down. In fact, in his heart, there is nothing to lose in this game, and there may even be some benefits to keep these England stars from swelling.

Many players' expressions are very solemn.

Although the head coach repeatedly emphasized not to underestimate Costa Rica before the game, they did not underestimate their opponents.

But unexpectedly, the opponent scored such a goal!

This is really helpless.

Hart sat down in the locker room with his face drooped, and Lampard patted him on the back for comfort.

"In the second half, we have to step up shots!"

Gao Bo said!

In fact, there is no good way to face the iron barrel array.

Costa Rica's defense is very resilient, especially the defense of set-pieces. It can be seen that the opponent has worked hard.

If you want to attack Costa Rica by breaking through the defense that creates set-pieces, you might even hit the opponent's arms.

It is even more difficult to beat the other party with confidence.

Gao Bo looked at Lampard.

In terms of shooting ability, Rooney and Vardy are both good in the English formation, and Gerrard's heavy artillery is also very heavy, and the accuracy is not bad.

However, although Lampard is a midfielder, his shooting skills are definitely better than most forwards. This can be seen from his goals.

In the Premier League, Lampard, as a midfielder, squeezed into the top four in the total goals list!

Second only to Alan Schiller, Rooney, Andy Cole.

Even a name like Henry ranks behind Lampard.

It can be seen that Lampard's scoring ability!

Although Lampard is thirty-six years old, under Gao Bo's hand, age is not a problem at all!

Let Lampard get back to the top, or even surpass the top in one or two games...no problem at all!

More importantly... the opponent will never think that he will send a 36-year-old veteran in such a game when he is behind!

Perhaps, when the Costa Rican coach sees Lampard playing, he will be surprised.

....

Pinto was really taken aback!

When he saw Lampard slowly running towards the court from the sidelines ~lightnovelpub.net~ the surprise in his eyes did not hide at all.

There are even some concerns.

In the locker room, Pinto called every offensive player who might be sent to the court one by one, and told the players specific defensive plans.

His work is very meticulous, so as long as Costa Rica's execution is not a problem, it will be very difficult for England to score goals.

But he really didn't expect it.

In this case, the 36-year-old Lampard actually appeared on the stage? !

The camera locked Lampard for a long time.

It seems that even the director is asking this question.

What can a 36-year-old veteran do in such a field?
