Ketika kecepatan menurun dan kesabaran dibutuhkan, apakah Inggris kekurangan Rencana B?
Inggris menunjukkan kekuatan permainan cepat mereka yang memukau di babak kedua melawan Kroasia pekan lalu. Secara kreatif, mereka mengalahkan lawan-lawan Eropa mereka. Tetapi hal yang sama tidak mungkin terjadi di pertandingan kedua mereka melawan Ghana. Ini adalah ujian kesabaran; ujian yang pada akhirnya gagal dilewati Inggris.
England showed the power of their scintillating pace in the second half against Croatia last week. Creatively, they overwhelmed their European counterparts. But the same was not possible in their second game against Ghana. This was a test of patience; one that England ultimately failed. Thomas Tuchel's side were made to wait until the 57th minute to land a shot on target. The game, in fact, was the first of the tournament to be absent of any accurate effort at goal from either team in the first half.
Ghana were set up to spoil any rhythm developing.
