One, high balls + set pieces. Kane pulled a sideways pass and Maguire's titanic header, the team's most relied upon scoring weapon since Southgate's entry was as simple and brutal as ever. I guess the sound of Maguire's header hitting the frame shocked the Iranians' determination to defend for 90 minutes.
Second, Sterling of Tring.
I know that anywhere Sterling hangs out there's going to be a bad Happy Boy storyline, but you should probably take the time to see how important he is to the national team. Four years ago, in the 352 at Southgate, he was 1/2 of what Kane was tickling his opponents around. now, against Iran, Southgate will also need to use his trademark penetrating runs to loosen the soil for the high wall the Persians have built and the three strikers vs three center backs who can't stand dead and kick.
Third, Bellingham.
Last night, Liverpool fans became human toads trying to eat swan meat. They watched the teenager who spent the whole week with Arnold, pull his value beyond the skies that Klopp couldn't see with his Hubble telescope with silky dished and tandem, and then fantasize about whether or not he'll follow the Reds into the Europa League/Europa League next year. And, at the moment he broke the deadlock, I wondered if Kop would have had the youthful boy who once wowed the crowd at the World Cup running through their minds.
At the time of writing, we should normally be blowing step by step on Saka's full draw and Sterling's agile running position. But given that it was Great Britain all over the city from last night to this morning, I'd like to save room for Iranian #15 center back Cheshmi. Well, the dude's background is as follows-
Cheshmi didn't even play for half a second during former Iranian coach Skorcic's reign. But when Queiroz entered the palace for the second time this September, he allowed the veteran department to follow him back to the national team. In addition, Cheshmi played as a midfielder, his first time as a center back, well, or drag back in Iran's three defender system.
So when you see him just over 50% accuracy, two dunks by Maguire, a missed stop before the third drop, a failed steal, turning three times or missing a Sterling one-stop shop, and a Haddadi possessed turtle defense, know that the first two Iranian Steel defenses are a memory.
As a result, the scrappy system reused by Queiroz sprinkled rat droppings in a chaotic defensive system. Since they couldn't handle the high sovereignty and couldn't stand up to the low defense, it was easy for England to capitalize on the natural shortcomings of the Iranians' power and lack of agility. When Queiroz did disgrace himself, he made three half-time substitutions. He probably intended to touch the fish and brush up on the live stream to see the England team that Zhiqiang had mixed up in the second half and had to open up the PowerPoint and add a couple of slides.
The Iranian man changed, provided the front line, and the wing backs were under pressure again, like a strange 3151, with the aerial defensive zone left only for England to chase their asses, and Kane to be the shaft more freely. By this time, Cheshmi was back on the bench, with left back Hosseini, who had been cleaned up in the first half, the brightest star on the backdrop.
Sarkar loses his defensive position with a card frame at his feet. A change from Rashford brought him back to Tehran. When Behring broke his defensive zone with a straight shot, Big Brother, who had been shifted out of position by Rashford with the ball, even raised his hand at half-time to signal offside ......
Say goodbye to buses, swing by and become a shared bike, scan the code and ride.
Just like that, the English broke the barrel and exploded into each other at half time. They seized the counter and slapped the Iranians three times. When they looked back, they were hit twice in the chest by Taremi's little pink punch. Throughout the game, the possession and passing success rates were way off the scoreboard. In garbage time, they smashed the Persian Iron Horsemen's Three Lions with headers, and even had time to play some consecutive short passes and ground passes - the
Southgate seems to be telling the world that since we are holding the most luxurious lineup in the top 32, we can also draw the Qingming Shanghe Tu.
This is, without doubt, the start of England's strongest run of games since the turn of the century, so it's inevitable that some will be eager to book a ticket home for soccer. But frankly, Iran's frequently self-immolating defense isn't heavy enough at the moment, let alone the rushed No. 2 goalkeeper who almost saw one.
Next, a photo of the youthful storm can't hurt, but I'm afraid the Americans and the Welsh are at least a test report of the quality of the offense at the Premier League level.
