954 Watch out for the England Team

After Diarra blocked one of Gerrard's attacks, he looked defiantly at Wood opposite him. His meaning was obvious - don't shrink behind like a coward. Bring it on, boy!

George Wood certainly saw what Diarra meant, but he was unmoved and continued to stay in the backfield to establish his position.

Initially, Puel was still complaining that Diarra did not follow his command. However, he fell silent after seeing Diarra intercepted England's attacks in succession. The back of the French team had obviously stabilized.

Twain certainly could not let that happen. Once the French team's defense was stable, they would attack again. At that time, it would be their turn to bear the pressure.
