Chapter 552: Incredible Game

England, which lost the ball, used the last kick-off opportunity to launch an attack, but the Spanish players who scored two goals in a row were very strong in the spiritual level and did not give the English players any chance at all. Even a player as strong as Li Qing could not break the deadlock with his super personal ability.

As Barkley's long-range shot from the front of the penalty area went over the crossbar, the referee Cakir blew the whistle to end the first half.

"aooaoaooaooaoaoooooo——"

The Spanish fans at the Benito Villamarín Stadium burst into a huge cheer like a tsunami, venting their support for their team to tie the new World Cup champion England in the first half.

The English players who appeared on the broadcast screen had a frown on their faces, which was obviously worried about the second half of the game. In sharp contrast, the Spanish players had a calm look on their faces. The super confidence brought by the two goals in a row was incomparable.

In addition, it was a home game, and the Spanish players believed that they could score more goals in the second half.

Li Qing?

Still unbeaten since the beginning of his career?

That can only be said that he was undefeated in the past!

This game is the moment to break Li Qing's undefeated record!

Professional players are all competitive and no one will easily give in to anyone. Even though Li Qing is now recognized as the world's football king, there are still many players who think that Li Qing is not good enough to be the football king.

Young age, insufficient career, too much chance...

These are all the tricky angles that those arrogant professional players think of to avoid. It is precisely with such ideas that every opposing player facing Li Qing is full of hope for future games.

Isn't competitive sports like this?

Higher, faster, stronger!

The game won by Li Qing can only represent the past. As long as there is time in the future, the result will not be Li Qing's team winning.

As assistant coach Holland closed the door of the substitute locker room, the noise from the Benito Villamarín Stadium came to an abrupt end. Except for Li Qing, who stood tall, the other English players sat on the bench with a heavy look on their faces.

England coach Southgate glanced at all the players present. When his eyes met Li Qing, he nodded slightly. The implication was obvious, that he was satisfied with Li Qing's performance in the first half. As for the other players, there was naturally no eye contact at all. After all, everyone lowered their heads, and some players could not even see their eyes.

Southgate said in a deep voice: "Guys, the performance in the first half was very good. Of course, I only said the first half hour. I believe that many players know how bad their performance was in the last fifteen minutes. This... is not in line with the level of the new World Cup champion. There are still forty-five minutes in the second half. I hope everyone here can wake up and prove that the World Cup champion is not the peak, but a beginning..."

A few minutes passed quickly during Southgate's speech. The mood of some players in the away team's locker room was not very obvious. Only a few players such as Harry Kane, Rashford, Joe Gomez, Winks, Pickford and Asphalt were eager for the second half of the game.

There were not many players with indifferent attitudes, but there were quite a few. Southgate saw this and couldn't help shaking his head. Due to the limited halftime break, he didn't spend too much time on adjusting the players' mentality. Then he changed the subject and focused on the tactical deployment of the second half of the game.

The tactics in the first half were no longer suitable for the second half. In order to increase the team's chances of winning the game at the Benito Villamarín Stadium, the tactics must be adjusted accordingly.

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed quickly. The players of both sides left their respective locker rooms and returned to the Benito Villamarín Stadium through the player tunnel to prepare for the second half of the game.

After the fifteen-minute break, the emotions of the Spanish players who scored two goals in a row and the English players who lost two goals in a row changed greatly, as if they had never experienced the heaven and hell of the first half forty-five minutes.

In fact, the reason is very simple. 2:2 is the same as 0:0. The game is back to the same starting line. Winning the game will make both teams equal, that is, the game is back to a balanced state. If you want to break the balance, the difficulty coefficient is much greater than the unbalanced state.

People will only explode when they are in desperate situations. It is difficult to have an adventurous spirit when the situation turns around, especially England has a superstar Li Qing who can change the situation of the game.

Spain, which equalized the score, certainly hopes to win the game, but they know that winning the game requires a process. The two goals lost in the first half are a bloody lesson.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one.

The confidence of the English players in winning the game is stronger than that of the Spanish players. As the new World Cup champions, they have their own pride, but the confidence of these English players is divided into two types. One is to win the game through their own efforts.

The other is to win the game by muddling through, in layman's terms, to win the game in the process of muddling through.

Neither Southgate nor Enrique made adjustments to the players on the field at the beginning of the second half, obviously believing in the performance of the players on the field at the beginning of the second half.

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee Cakir, the second half of the third round of the UEFA Nations League group match between Spain and England at the home stadium Benito Villamarín was announced to begin.

The Spanish players who scored two goals in a row at the end of the first half were full of fighting spirit and burst out with stronger fighting power in the fanatical atmosphere of the home court. Enrique's current lineup was achieved on both offense and defense.

The defensive players were able to complete the attack trident composed of Li Qing, Harry Kane and Rashford when England attacked, and the offensive players were able to bring a shocking momentum to Pickford's goal in limited offensive opportunities.

In the 49th minute, Asensio was the first to sound the alarm for Pickford's goal. He made a simple two-on-two cooperation with his teammates on the right side of the offensive and broke into the right side of the penalty area. The audience burst into a deafening cheer.

However, as Asensio's left-footed shot brushed the outer edge of the far goal and went out of the bottom line, the huge cheers were replaced by regrets.

The previous ones have been achieved to the extreme, and the only thing missing is the finishing touch.

"With David Villa and Torres getting older, Diego Costa and Morata are a little bit off, otherwise Spain could have overtaken the score at the beginning of the second half!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, said in a deep voice.

At the same time, Enrique screamed to the sky in frustration, and Southgate rushed to the sidelines and roared almost crazily, fully venting his strong dissatisfaction with the players on the field.

Some of the arrogant players seemed to realize something and wanted to get back in shape in the next game. However, it is often like this. It is not easy to relax when you are nervous, but it is not easy to be nervous when you relax.

In the 53rd minute, Spain finally overtook the score. Thiago suddenly shot a cold arrow outside the penalty area. Pickford's vision was blocked. When he saw the ball and made a save, it was too late...

"Oh-My-God!"

Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV, exclaimed: "Spain scored three goals in a row! Overtook the score! This is an incredible game!"
