Southgate made a perfect start. The layout of 343 can not only stabilize the defense, but also widen the width to the maximum extent, weakening the protection of two elderly central defenders in Italy. However, it is estimated that no one expected that the target would come so quickly. One second Maguire was still serving a corner, and the next second England was cleared, which broke through Italy's hasty high position. Trippier aimed at his most familiar position for a long time and sent a perfect cross. Lorenzo is just in charge of protection. To tell the truth, at this point in the game, it should be said that the overall situation has been decided. Without Spinazzola's pull, most dribbles were destroyed by Sine, and Imobile was unreliable. As long as England attaches importance to chiesa, there can be no threatening Italian attack. England recovered a little and rushed back twice, and Italy's 70+ central defender was bound to give in.
Who also didn't expect that the south gate would retreat to such a deep place, to its own area of 30 meters. Even the wing guards were recycled and retreated to five guards. Even the headstrong experimenter Lin had to help in the depth, so there was no enough manpower to fight back like this. Kane is the only one, and neither midfielder can run back. In fact, England was beaten for 50 minutes, and even chiellini was pushed to the position of full-back. After losing the ball, Kane Stirling, who has exhausted most of his physical strength without the ball for a long time, can no longer rely on them to organize threatening attacks.
It doesn't matter if you have no strength. South Gate has the most luxurious bench in the whole cup, plus five bench places in chartered flight. Sancho and Grali, even the masters in poor condition, are enough to put great pressure on the Italian defence. But what did the south gate do? Go to Henderson, go to Saka, and change four guards. Even if it comes out, Nanmen is still thinking about defense. Henderson is an obstacle. The only reason why Saka Bigrat Leish and others are ahead of them is that his defensive enthusiasm is better than theirs. In fact, he changed his medicine, but even so, in a limited opportunity, Saca people rushed out of chiellini's yellow card, and the Italian defensive physical fitness has really bottomed out.
But South Gate's action is really disappointing. Grali is alone, and his teammates have no ability to control the ball. What's the use of him coming up here? Master La and Sancho finally switched and played for only a few minutes, purely for the penalty. In the end, the British team was actually squeezed into the middle by the Saka people, while Master La was playing full-back, and the ball was never touched. How can it be in a state? Missed the penalty. This is logical. In the end, England became like this.
The shooting ratio is 20 to 6, the ball control rate is 665,438+0-39, and the total running distance is 144.6km 143.3km. When England, which has enough rest and health, can't suppress Italy, which has been shopping for three games before entering the final, it is reasonable to tell the truth. Southgate didn't run past Old Croatia at 18.
