959 Move Forward

The Spaniards could not have imagined that they would concede the goal this way. With three consecutive shots, their defenders did not even snap up a point of fall. They were all grasped by England.

It was very clear that England had thoroughly studied Spain and decided on the right tactics.

Twain celebrated the goal with excitement not far from the sidelines, while Hierro sat in a chair without even lifting his rear end once. He was pondering a question - England's change in deployment must have held great meaning, but what was the specific meaning?

From the looks of this goal... was it a coincidence or premeditation?

It was a far cry from the previous way England had attacked. Rooney and Agbonlahor were two strikers playing as wingers while Gerrard, the former attacking midfielder, did not carry out his responsibility as the playmaker... What did Tony Twain exactly have in mind?
