Chapter 653: A Shocking Turn of Events

England looked visibly shaken by the early setback and were eager to reclaim their composure. Harry Kane restarted the game and passed the ball back to Jordan Henderson, who immediately sought to reestablish control.

The England players built up from there, and for the next few minutes, they worked tirelessly, trying to rebuild their rhythm. They passed the ball around the back and midfield, hoping to set the tempo and regain control. 

The Ivorians, however, remained relentless in their press. Zaha followed Zachary's advice to the letter and hounded Harry Maguire and John Stones, the English center-backs. His off-ball runs were relentless. They repeatedly forced the English defenders to play quicker than they were comfortable with.
