England vs Wales results today 9/10 football friendly 2020

Final: England 3-0 Wales
Objective: Calvert-Lewin (26); Coady (53); Ings (63)

In the group stage of Euro 2016, England beat Wales 2-1 despite being ahead, but at the end of the group stage, Wales were the better team. In that year’s tournament, England was eliminated in the first knockout round (1/8) and everyone knew that Wales reached the semi-finals (they lost to Portugal, the team then won the championship, with a score of 0-2).

After the disaster in France, England have come back strong thanks to the drastic overhaul of coach Southgate. The “Three Lions” reached the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and also reached the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League final by leading a group in League A. England is now a collection of talented young players. run by seniors who are in their career maturity.

However, at this rally, up-and-coming young star duo Phil Foden (Man City) and Mason Greenwood (MU) were not penalized for a disciplinary violation in the September convocation. Ben Chilwell, Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham broke the social isolation rule, for which he was also removed from the dog-minute focus list, while Raheem Sterling was also absent due to injury.

But as mentioned above, Southgate possesses extremely abundant strength and is not lacking in quality talent, capable of filling in for absent people. Before Wales, this military leader uses his personnel to test his personnel because it is simply the right thing to do in a friendly match.

There were no key personnel in the field. Instead, the main kick opportunity is reserved entirely for reserve cards or promising new faces. In which Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) and a rising striker like Comet Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) had the Three Lions debut.

Some other names like Coady (Wolves), Kalvin Phillips (Leeds), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) or Danny Ings (Southampton) have only played 1-2 times at the national level. The oldest member of the list is Joe Gomez (Liverpool) vs Michael Keane (Everton) with the same 10 games for the Three Lions.

Meanwhile, Wales were already lacking in talent, but this time, they were still missing the biggest star, Gareth Bale, due to injury. The “great” Ryan Giggs, of course, also took the friendly opportunity to let some young faces try, but most of them are quite unfamiliar with the fans, although they are all playing in the Premier League because they are not the mainstay of the team. governing ball.

Although he used the “messy mounting” equipment, England still had no difficulty in imposing the game on the “green army” of Wales. However, the attack was not good, especially since the players were almost together on the field for the first time, so the Three Lions had no situation in the first half of the first half.

Even Wales sometimes really threatened Pope’s goal, although the Burnley goalkeeper didn’t have to do anything at all. However, the quality of the staff is what England completely surpasses Wales and even using the ‘B team’, the gap between the two sides is still a long way off.

So only a few names on the team can speak, scoring is not too difficult. In fact, until the 26th minute, Jack Grealish, the Aston Villa driver and was received by MU during the 2020 summer transfer period, but could not, crossed the ball from the right wing to make Calvert-Lewin feel comfortable with a high pitch. Head hit Hennessey.

Thus, the forward born in 1997 has expanded his peak form since the start of the 2020/21 season. Wearing the Everton jersey, Calvert-Lewin has scored 9 goals in just six games and now in his national debut, he opened fire. Once the deadlock is overcome, everything becomes very easy for England.

The pressure on the Welsh goal began to mount, but the score in the first half was halted at 1-0. The most unfortunate chance the home team has after opening the scoring is a shot into the stands from midfielder Coady’s comfortable position on a corner kick.

However, in the second half, Coady increased the score to 2-0. At 53 minutes, from a right free kick, captain Kieran Trippier (he played for Tottenham and now Atlético de Madrid) hung the ball in the 16m50 area and the Wolves midfielder escaped to break the trap from outside of game and then finished. point with the outer cheek, hit the roof of Hennessey (Palace).

Coach Southgate also began to change personnel, of course, also for the purpose of testing. In the 63rd minute, the score rose to 3-0. From a sharp header from Tyrone Mings, forward Danny Ings dumped the ball over the technical head, eliciting Hennessey’s hand. This is Ings’ first goal in the national jersey color after 3 appearances.

So since 1963 there has been a match in which up to 3 English players scored the first goal in international competition. That number should have increased if Saka or Maitland-Niles (replacing Arsenal’s teammates) seized the opportunity.

In addition, goalkeeper Hennessey also made a spectacular save after Danny Ings’ dangerous shot. In this match, before leaving the field in the 76th minute, Jack Grealish played very well as a driver, coordinating the style of play and almost all the English attack balls passed the feet of this player. It is possible that thanks to the performance against Wales, the 1995 midfielder was “promoted” in the eyes of coach Southgate.

In the end, England had an easy 3-0 win to confidently enter the next two matches of Group 2 of the 2020/21 UEFA Nations League A League against Belgium and Denmark.
