Previously, England team appeared with an unbeaten record, and 9 goals also made the "Three Lions" and Spain team the team with the most goals in the group stage. In the round of 16 against Senegal, whose overall strength is obviously inferior to himself, England did not waste any chance. First, Henderson and Kane scored successfully in the first half, and then secured the lead of three goals through Saka's pick-up shot in the second half, and kept the score to the end.
After the game, the English team was very satisfied with the team's current competitive state. They have reached at least the quarterfinals for three consecutive competitions. In this Qatar World Cup, except for being kicked two goals by Iran in the first game, England has no goals in the next three games, which also gives the players a lot of confidence.
"It is really important for us to not concede goals in three consecutive games." Captain Kane said, "We have a team with new and old players who have worked well and won another knockout match. We will enjoy this victory, but we will soon focus on the next game against France, which will be a very difficult battle."
Indeed, as the defending champion, the French team showed enough combat effectiveness in this World Cup to make all opponents timid, but England, which also has the best lineup in recent years, is still very eager to fight with one to test its own strength. "So far, the French team looks like the strongest team in this tournament, but we work hard every day and we are very confident." Foden said, and at the same time, he believes that his teammate Bellingham's talent will not be weaker than any opponent. "I don't want to praise him too much, because he is still very young, but he is indeed one of the most talented players I have ever seen. He has almost no weaknesses in the game. I think he will be the best midfielder in the world in the future."
The British and French battle will also be the most anticipated game in the quarter-finals match of this World Cup.
