As the game continued after the third goal of the first match of the 2092 euros season, the pace of the match seemed to slow down slightly. The English team, still reeling from the disappointment of conceding a goal mid way into the second half, began to regain their composure and started to push forward with more purpose.
The German team, on the other hand, seemed to be content with their two-goal lead and began to drop deeper, allowing the English team to have more possession. The German coach, a wise and experienced tactician, sensed that the momentum of the game was shifting and decided to make another substitution.
He was steadily sending the diminishing endurance of the English players and he was going to make the most of that. They wouldn't be able to take on a speedster who loved to run, that'd be their worst nightmare.
