Uruguay lost to Costa Rica in the first round, so they have to go all out in this match to win.
The entire team rushed in all directions like a tiger descending from a mountain from the moment the opening whistle sounded.
Their fans were also very enthusiastic. From the beginning of the game, the boos and jeers against the English players never stopped.
Especially when Xia Qi had the ball, the booing was deafening and pierced people's eardrums.
England with the "Summer Chess" can be considered a championship contender, while England without the "Summer Chess" can only be considered a qualifying team.
This view is widely acknowledged by both the players on the field and the fans off the field. Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Xia Qi was treated like a "superstar".
Not only was he the most scolded player in the team, he was also the most closely guarded player on the court.
In order to defend Xia Qi, Uruguay head coach Tavares took great pains and sent Lodeiro and Rios to double-guard Xia Qi throughout the game.
This is not a two-man defense in a local area, but a full-court tight defense!
After all, football is an 11-person sport. The fact that two people were used to defend Xia Qi shows how important a position Uruguay placed Xia Qi.
...
...
In this game, England got the ball. After Xia Qi kicked off, he received the ball in the frontcourt.
As soon as he turned around after receiving the ball, he collided with Lodeiro, and the football under his feet was poked away by Rios on the other side.
Xia Qi fell to the ground and thought the referee would call a foul on Lodeiro, but the referee ignored it.
Uruguay took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.
"Oh!"
"Unbelievable! It's unbelievable! Uruguay scored with their first shot just one minute into the game."
"Suarez scored with his first shot after returning from injury, helping Uruguay lead England 1-0."
"This is the fastest goal in this World Cup!"
The Sao Paulo Stadium was filled with cheers like a tsunami, and the place had become a sky-blue ocean of joy.
At this time, only one minute had passed since the cheers from the audience at the opening whistle, and the Uruguayan fans received a double blow of happiness.
After scoring the goal, Suarez opened his arms and seemed to be flying on the ground...
In the stands, Uruguayan fans shouted: "Thank you-Xia Qi!"
Uruguay's attack started with the ball being intercepted by Xia Qi, which can also be regarded as Xia Qi assisting Suarez.
The English fans on the other side were at a loss.
They haven't even entered the game yet! They are already falling behind without knowing why!
On the sidelines, England head coach Hodgson was very dissatisfied with the goal conceded.
One is that they are dissatisfied with the referee for not ruling that Lodeiro committed a foul.
The second was that he was dissatisfied with the fact that his players seemed to be sleepy at the beginning of the game and neglected defense.
The third is dissatisfaction with goalkeeper Joe Hart. There is a saying in football: If the sky has feelings, it will also grow old, seeing Hart's kick.
Joe Hart had never expected Suarez to shoot from such an inconspicuous place.
His understanding of long-range shots is quite different from that of the forwards, so he often becomes their background emperor.
"In today's match, the referee's whistle was relatively lenient, but how did the England players behave after Xia Qi lost the ball?
After Suarez received the ball during the game, no English player rushed forward to press him immediately.
The first person who rushed up to defend was Xia Qi who was chasing after losing the ball, but Suarez had already completed the shot.
It would be strange if England didn’t lose the ball! ”
"Mr. Huang, I think conceding the goal at the start might be a good thing. England is a team that gets easily inflated, so it's better to calm down."
"Looking at the strength of both teams, it won't be difficult for England to win this game steadily. Of course, the premise is that mistakes like the one just now will never happen again."

After the game restarts,
Xia Qi tried very hard to get the ball in the midfield.
No matter where he ran, there were at least two people guarding him, preventing him from receiving or passing the ball easily.
This is a tactic that Uruguay head coach Tavares racked his brains to come up with specifically to deal with Xia Qi.
At first, he wanted Lodeiro to use full-court man-to-man defense on Xia Qi.
However, after careful study, it was found that Xia Qi's running range was indeed too large.
Not to mention that Lodeiro doesn't have the physical fitness, even if he did, he doesn't have the speed, sharpness and ability to read the game.
If there is, only a fool would "exchange pieces". Wouldn't it be better to directly push Lordeiro to the top?
So he combined zone defense and man-to-man defense to target Xia Qi's flexible movement and wide range of activities.
Arrange two players to double guard Xia Qi to prevent Xia Qi from receiving or passing the ball easily.
If it was just double defense, it wouldn't have much impact on Xia Qi, but Uruguay's defensive ability was insufficient so they had to make up for it with their hands.
With the connivance of the referee, even Xia Qi, who was able to "hang up with one button", was at a slight disadvantage in this situation.
The game continues,
Xia Qi ran without the ball to the right and received the ball behind Walcott's left.
As soon as the ball reached his feet, Lodeiro pushed him down from behind.
The referee did not blow the whistle again.
On the sidelines, Hodgson angrily rushed towards the fourth official and protested loudly.
Lodeiro takes the lead and Rios kicks!
Familiar recipe!
But this time Rios met a ruthless person, who just "stole" the ball from Xia Qi's feet.
Gerrard slid over and tackled him down with the ball.
This was a fierce tackle. Under normal circumstances, Gerrard would have received a yellow card.
But tonight, the referee simply called him over and gave him a stern warning.
Gerrard nodded and said "accept it humbly". Then he turned around and said to Xia Qi, "This is Tottenham! Xia, do you remember how you beat up those bastards at White Hart Lane?"
Ok!
Treat this game as a derby!
The referee’s instructions just now were not wrong!
Xia Qi nodded to Gerrard!
AI also has a temper!
