Nine Hundred and Sixty-Two Hart's Attributes...

962 Hart's Properties...

Although England have established the qualifications to qualify for the group stage, there is still a task ahead of them!

That is to make sure the group is the first to qualify.

According to the current form, many strong teams will enter the top half!

If England can win the first place in the group, they will enter the bottom half, thus avoiding many strong teams.

Gao Bo also knows that this England team does not have the absolute strength to win the championship. If you want to win the championship, it is naturally easier to have a good schedule.

therefore!

Beating Costa Rica and winning the first place in the group, whether it is Gao Bo or the players, there is no doubt about this.

Since we want to compete for the first place in the group, we must prepare well for the last game of the group stage.

Predictably, this game is a very difficult battle!

Costa Rica's 541 formation, with a bus in front of his goal.

This is a problem for any team to break through the iron barrel.

What's more, Costa Rica also proved in the first two games that the iron barrel formation they put out is not a pretence!

They scored three goals for Uruguay on the counter-attack, and Italy failed to break their defense!

This Costa Rica seems to be the biggest dark horse in this World Cup.

Regardless of the final group stage result, they will reach the round of 16, tying Costa Rica's record for the best World Cup result.

This is enough for them to be proud of.

Inside the team, for Costa Rica, the players did not take it lightly. Instead, they prepared very seriously.

They are both professional players, and their ability to beat teams like Uruguay and Italy one after another cannot be explained by luck alone.

In addition, Gao Bo emphasized from the beginning that Costa Rica must not be underestimated, so the players did not underestimate the enemy.

But among the media and fans.

The England side is full of relaxed atmosphere. The English people believe that with the strength shown by England in the first two games, they can easily defeat Costa Rica and then enter the knockout stage as the first place in the group!

At this point, they have already begun to analyze England's opponents in the knockout round...

At the pre-match press conference, both Gao Bo and Rooney who attended the press conference emphasized that the team will not underestimate the enemy and that Costa Rica is a formidable opponent.

However, in the eyes of the media, this is just a polite remark to deal with the media.

Costa Rica's head coach Pinto frowned slightly when he heard this.

To be honest, Costa Rica's overall strength is certainly not as good as England's. Their chance is to seize the counterattack, and if England shows a little sign of underestimating the enemy... This is of course the best thing for Costa Rica.

"Coach Gao Bo is the best coach in the world!"

Just when Pinto was thinking about things, the Costa Rica captain next to him, goalkeeper Navas said this.

This made Pinto a little jealous.

His captain publicly called the opponent's head coach the best head coach, and usually in the team, Navas and himself are just a working relationship.

But... Pinto also knows that comparing himself with Gao Bo is to compare a tricycle with a Ferrari, a completely asymmetrical comparison.

He quickly picked up his mood.

"We will go all out in tomorrow's game. I'm ready for a hard fight. If we want to beat his team, we must work a hundred times harder!"

Navas said so.

.....

When the game started, as most expected.

The pace of the game is not fast!

And most of the time it was England who were attacking with the ball.

Costa Rica, on the other hand, put out a pair of iron barrels, and even the only striker completely retreated to the front of the penalty area.

They seem to have given up on offense completely!

In the first half, England's possession rate even reached 90%!

Even with such an exaggerated possession rate, England has nothing to do with Costa Rica.

Navas was in great shape in this game!

England's few chances in the first half were saved by him.

In the 35th minute of the game, England got a corner kick!

Smalling, who got the first chance in this game, received a header from the penalty area and shook his head, slightly higher!

The forty-second minute of the game!

Rooney passes the ball!

Gerrard caught the ball at the front of the penalty area and made a long-range shot, then rushed to the left side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle!

Football was resolved bravely by Navas!

The forty-fourth minute of the game!

Vardy's shot creates a corner!

England's two central defenders are all in the penalty area!

Breaking iron barrels often relies on positioning balls!

therefore!

England has also practiced a lot of corner kick routines in the past few days!

Sterling takes the corner!

At this time, the players on both sides in the penalty area are densely entangled!

Sterling raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers!

England's players understood and moved according to the routine of the drill.

The Costa Rican players are nervously standing in key areas and staring at the key defensive players!

The referee's whistle sounded!

Sterling gets the ball out!

But it did not drive into the penalty area, but pushed to the left rib of the penalty area!

Luke Shaw, who kept up with high speed, hit the ball and shot directly! !

The football flies to the goal against the turf!

In the eyes of all fans!

Bang! !

The football hit the crossbar and bounced back!

"Ahhhhh!! Beam!!!"

In the commentary booth, many commentators held their heads in their hands, regretting the England shot that almost scored!

Right now!

Suddenly they found out!

The football bounced to the outside of the penalty area!

And Costa Rica's midfield core Brian Ruiz plugs in at high speed! !

Milner and Trippier hurried back in pursuit!

However!

This time Brian Ruiz completed a world-class operation!

He first looked up at Hart's position, and then.... kicked his feet directly in the area near the midline! !

"No way?!"

Gao Bo's heart skipped a beat, especially after seeing Hart's location...

"I'll wipe, it won't be so evil..."

When the arc of the football was kicked out, Gao Bo felt a little uneasy.

This ball...

"Brian Ruiz shoots straight..."

Letkinson's voice was a little off.

All the fans are watching the football flying in the air!

Hart's heart is also tight!

This ball... is falling into the goal! !

He hurried back!

However...

As Hart jumped high, the football flew past his fingertips!

Falling into the goal behind him!
