European cup (e.g. soccer)
During this period, Sohu Sports will invite some experts from the sports world to talk about the
European cup (e.g. soccer)
The related questions. Today we invited Mr. Lin Liangfeng to analyze the match between England and Scotland.
Sohu sports: you first overall talk about the competition between England and Scotland.
Lin Liangfeng: "This game is not too beautiful, the game did not score, Kane's play is average, only 19 touches in the game, and only two touches in the opponent's penalty area. A rushing header in the penalty area, the quality is not high. Scotland's play was better than expected, and the team has a number of players in the

Kickers, two of the three center backs in the

of Robertson, with a midfield of

of Gilmour, with Adams up front. The strength comparison shows that Scotland is at the disadvantage, but the attitude in the competition is more positive and serious.
In terms of strength, it's not too difficult for England to beat Scotland, but the context of this match is a little different. England is now in second place after two group games, and a draw in the final round will surely secure second place. The British media's attitude towards England is critical, but I have a different view. It's true that England is not playing as well as it should be, the question is whether England is trying to play at its best? The question is whether England wants to play at their best, because from the future schedule, once they finish at the top of the group, they will touch the second in Group F. Now it seems that the second in Group F will be between France, Germany and Portugal. If they finish second in the group, England will face the second team in Group E. It is likely that they will meet Spain, Sweden and Poland. I think these teams are obviously less of a threat to England. In such a scenario, it is best for England to finish second, so it is best to play against Scotland with such a scoreline."
Sohu sports: this morning Zhan Jun teacher talked about England's second half of the substitution, in the team demanded a goal did not replace Le Wen such a high center forward, or Sancho such a strong side of the road talent players. Your point of view?
Lin Liangfeng: "My opinion is that if Southgate doesn't want to win this game at all, the selection of substitutes doesn't make much sense. In the case of Gellalish for Foden, fans would expect to see both Gellalish and Foden on the pitch together, but I highly doubt that it would be in line with Southgate's strategic starting point if the two were to play together. My guess, of course, is that Southgate is looking to artificially avoid one of France, Germany or Portugal. A draw between the Czech Republic and England in the final game would see them finish top and second respectively."
Sohu Sports: Kane has not played a full game in two consecutive contests, what is your opinion?
Lin Liangfeng: "Whether it is from the number of touches, or the number of shots in the penalty area and other data, Kane is a bit low. But because of what I said before, there is the existence of the cloth of picking opponents, I doubt that this is not Southgate's suspicion. In fact, Kane played in the first game against Croatia should have the effect. I think it is a little too early to black Kane, we have to wait until the knockout stage, in order to make an evaluation of Kane's play.
For example, in 1982
World Cup
On, Italian striker Rossi failed to score a single goal in the first three group matches and also failed to score against Argentina in the second stage group stage. But Rossi scored a hat-trick against Brazil in the knockout stage, two goals against Poland in the semifinals and one in the final, culminating in six goals in three matches."
Sohu sports: England may have the mentality of not wanting to win, so through these two competitions to see, England has something new?
Lin Liangfeng: "I thought there were not many new things, the big discovery was Phillips, I didn't expect the player to play his first big game but was very smooth and outstanding. Foden, like Kane, has yet to bring his full range of talents into play. And in the first two games, England didn't plan special tactics for Foden to shine. The first game with Croatia, England took the initiative and won smoothly, I feel that England has learned to be good.
To take another example, in 1982
World Cup
England won all three of their group stage matches, and then in the second stage of the group stage, they were drawn in a group with West Germany and Spain, and the Three Lions went straight to tragedy. I thought that England now has the phenomenon of becoming a state of mind pressure. New stuff wise, I thought Southgate didn't want to take it out immediately for everyone to see."
SOFTBALL: What will the final round of the group stage produce?
Lin Liangfeng: "If normal, the Czech Republic and England may play 0-0 or 1-1, and England dare not lose, so it will be stirred into the trouble of the ranking calculation. But the draw is a technical job, and because of the fear of being unable to control after the goal, England should be more tense in the game."
