Chapter 275 Everyone Knows
World Cup qualifiers eliminated Italy, England finally proved to themselves.

Overnight, the influence of the England team stepped on the Italian team and skyrocketed, stepping into the world powers.

As the birthplace of modern football, the British have a very high sense of national identity for football.

In the eyes of the British, splitting Great Britain into England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland should also be a strong performance of the four lines.

Even if this is not the case, the British will believe that the football kingdom will be invincible before the big game.

The results of the Football Kingdom are indeed good. The Brazil team won the World Cup and there are still a steady stream of talented players. It is a pity that these have nothing to do with the UK.

In fact, the British have seen that Great Britain is not doing well in the past few years. The England team has declared that it will attack the championship every time in the World Series. It has entered the semi-finals in Italy and is not far from the trophy.

But even the name of England did not appear in the World Cup in the United States. Not only England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all knelt in the qualifiers. It was the darkest period in British football history.

When England couldn't even beat Norway in the qualifiers, the British really panicked.

They squinted their eyes and looked at the world, and found that football tactics around the world are wonderful, but England still maintains the tactical system of firing at the opponent from the backcourt.

What's worse is that English players are like workers on an assembly line. They are incompetent without their posts and cannot play in the new tactical system.

After the fiasco, the British wanted to change, and the first task was tactical reform.

But the templated English players severely limited tactical reform, and even foreign coaches were not easy to hire.

The British also envisioned merging the four football associations so that the UK could form the strongest representative team.

But this idea is like the best wish. It is definitely possible when you think about it, but it is basically impossible to implement it.

As the first four members of FIFA since its establishment, the four football associations under the British jurisdiction have serious bureaucracy and look down on each other. Merger and reorganization are impossible.

The matter involved in this matter is too complicated, it cannot be resolved in a short while, and there is a high probability that it will never be resolved.

Even the so-called British team at the London Olympics is only the England team plus a few Welsh players. The Football Associations of Scotland and Northern Ireland scoffed at the proposal of a joint team and did not cooperate at all.

The United States lost the World Cup qualifiers, and the England team was so miserable that no head coach dared to take over this hot potato, and no one was willing to wade into the muddy water.

If it weren't for Venables, the old Jianghu, who relied on his status in the arena to control the situation and installed a loose ground pass control style for the England team, it would be absolutely impossible for the England team to reach the top four in the European Cup held locally.

Unexpectedly, the FA wanted to interfere with the work of the team after England's results, and the media was dissatisfied with the results of the top four, and even sprayed England for not winning the championship.

Venables, who didn't want to be wronged and had no long-term coaching plan, did not choose to renew his contract when his contract expired, so the Football Association called Hoddle again.

Hoddle is not stupid. He continued Venables' tactics and main lineup, but replaced Anderton, who is better at defending than attacking, with Beckham, who is better at attacking.

Maybe even Hoddle didn't expect that this decision was directly reflected in the two key group games with the Italian team.

At the post-match press conference, Hoddle held his head high, claiming that the eleven lions had defended England's honor with their blood and sweat.

It is the consensus of the whole world that the winner should not be criticized. The England team beat the Italian team to qualify in the group, which really made the English feel proud.

The Italian team was the runner-up of the World Cup in the United States. Although they were eliminated in the European Cup group two years later, the Italians are still very proud: "We didn't lose a game. We are slow. If we qualify, the Germans are not good. Let's find out in the World Cup in the United States."

The England team not only sent the Italians to the play-offs, but also ended the embarrassing history of 18 years of invincibility. The England team shined brightly in the eyes of everyone, and even Hoddle's status in the arena has been greatly improved.

At the end of the qualifiers, some media broke the news that Hoddle invited a wizard to the altar in the last match of the group stage, but this news was quickly drowned in the praise.

The high-spirited English players received unanimous praise from the outside world. Whether it was Ince who was injured and insisted on playing, Seaman who made several wonderful saves, Adams who commanded the defense and inspired the morale of the whole team, and Gary Neville who performed human sandbags several times and other players have all been affirmed by all walks of life.

Of course, the most eye-catching player in the England team is Beckham.

After getting the technical statistics after the game, the media found out that this 22-year-old young player has unknowingly become an indispensable player for the England team.

Some media specifically analyzed his technical statistics. His running distance in the game reached an astonishing 15000 meters. Even Maldini, who has excellent physical fitness, was cramped by him.

In the highlights of the match, the classic scene where he broke through the encirclement alone at the last moment and completed a lob in the situation of flanking back and forth in Italy was replayed over and over again.

Anyone with sports experience knows what this moment means. When all the players are exhausted, Beckham can still sprint for a long distance, and the half-court lob is still extremely accurate. This is not something ordinary players can do.

At the last moment of the game, it was obvious from the screen that the Italian players had extremely ferocious expressions because of pain. They tried their best and even wanted to foul Beckham tactically, but the Italian players were helpless. Four of their players tried their best to complete the encirclement against Beckham.

It is difficult for people to associate such a terrifying running ability with such a handsome little fresh meat. Many people subconsciously think that this kid is really good, and he is desperate when the England team needs him.

What a nice lad!
When the media released Beckham's average running distance of 12000 meters per game in the season, and then listed the average running distance of less than 9000 meters in the entire Premier League, those men who claimed to be football experts were messed up in the wind.

It's unscientific that this kid is handsome and works so hard!Will you give other players a way out?
And seeing the data comparison, the young women in England's eyes lit up. It turns out that this handsome guy is so long-lasting!
It would be great if I could sleep with him once, blessed is Sophie Marceau!

Of course, Beckham's role is not limited to this. His short pass success rate in the game is 90%, and the long pass success rate exceeds 80%. It is because of his presence that most of England's counterattacks can be a disaster for the Italian team's defense.

In addition, he had 15 one-on-ones in the game, and succeeded 11 times. He used explosives and changes of direction to make the great left back burnt out, and he simply cramped at the last moment.

Maldini was rarely so embarrassed.

He was violated 16 times in the game, and the Italian players would bring him down once in less than 6 minutes. The level of defense was even beyond Wimbledon.

Especially when McManaman's physical fitness declined, Beckham basically became the only player in the England team with the ability to attack. The Italian team paid the price of 4 yellow cards for intercepting him, including the foul that Di Livio was sent off.

Beckham's stats are dazzling in both teams, and whether it is the Zebra Prince, the great left-back or the concrete defense, they are all overshadowed by him.

After this battle, Beckham was completely out of the circle. This time he was not just a player, but entered everyone's field of vision as a public figure.

Everyone is eager to know who Beckham is, and they also want to know about his appearance.

Everyone knew him now, and everyone wanted to know him.

The BBC has seen the value of Beckham and rushed to produce a 30-minute documentary after the British-Italian war.

Just when people are on the verge of knowing who he is, the documentary airs at the right moment.

The beginning of the documentary says this: "Leytonstone, located in the East End of London, has historically been regarded as a slum area. According to Conan Doyle, the most dangerous place in the foggy London is the East End.

Still, Leighton Stone brought Hitchcock to the British.

On May 1975, 5, this ordinary place was lit up with the birth of David Beckham."

The documentary found a video of Beckham playing football with his sister in the yard when he was a child.

The documentary then began to introduce Beckham's football journey: "David's father was a Manchester United fan, so he was always inspired to join the Manchester United team one day. From childhood, David's life was destined to belong to red.

David showed outstanding abilities at the age of 6, especially his right foot, which was invincible among his peers.

With his outstanding performance, the team he played for has superior strength because of him, and even maintained an unbeaten record of 92 games in those years, a record that no one can break so far.

David was on the radar of professional clubs early on, with West Ham, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Manchester United all wanting him, and the seed his father planted in him at the last minute played a key role."

Then came the image of Beckham when he was in the youth team. In the picture, Ryan Giggs, who was wearing No. 10, held up the trophy, and then Beckham, who was wearing No. 6, took over the trophy.

The screen then entered an interview with the main members of the "Class of 92". Gary Neville said in a nonchalant manner: "David liked to show off when he first came, and he was always taken care of. He could wear the first team uniform and Adidas stars. I thought it was unfair to other people to get these things by face.

But the fact is that handsome people are more popular! "

Even after 7 years, Gary Neville's tone is still sour.

Closer to the screen cut to Scholes and Giggs, the two denied Gary's evaluation.

So why did Gary say those things?
The screen switched to Philip Neville: "David always attracts a lot of girls when he plays football. They have been calling her name from the beginning of training. Maybe Gary has some opinions on him because of this."

Who would have thought that Phil would sell his brother out in front of the public.

Followed by Giggs: "When he first came to the club, he spoke a London accent. We often laughed at him. As a result, a year later he changed to a Manchester accent. But he is really special, a different one, and you can see this at the age of 15."

Scholes said solemnly: "I thought he was not talkative when he first came, but after we got to know him well, we found him very interesting."

Then Bart smirked and faced the camera: "We are very good friends. We usually train together and come out to play snooker together on Saturdays. It was a really happy time."

The person in the next picture is Higuita, and the Colombian goalkeeper exaggeratedly said: "I hate him. I know very well that without him, that save would be one of the greatest saves in human history. This kid ruined me, hahaha!"

Maldini also appeared in the picture: "He starts quickly, his physical strength is incredible, I think he can try the marathon."

When the reporter asked Peruzzi how he felt about the lob, the Italian goalkeeper brutally turned down the camera.

The documentary then played several key historical moments of Beckham. People were surprised to find that this guy named David Beckham not only has good looks, but also scored beautiful goals. The world waves he scored are simply too numerous to enumerate.

Seeing this, everyone can't help but marvel at the amazing career of this young man.

This is a disciplined, committed player with no shortage of talent, it's just amazing.

But the story didn't end there. When Sophie Marceau threw herself into Beckham's arms in Chelsea's box, the whole world was sour.

At the time when his career was on the rise, Beckham, who was accompanied by a beautiful woman, was shining brightly.

At the end of the documentary is Ferguson's heartfelt evaluation: "David's footwork is outstanding, he always runs tirelessly, and he is still improving. I think England may be David's England in the next ten years.

It may be a bit early to say this now, but things are developing in this direction, we will wait and see. "

Beckham watched the documentary at home. At this moment, his legs were wrapped in ice packs and his feet were also in ice water.

And Gary Neville beside him was furious: "These damned media, they misinterpreted my words! I spoke for nearly 5 minutes, but only cut in less than 10 seconds. I swear this sentence is the least important!"

Seeing Gary's expression, Scholes, Ryan Giggs and his brother all showed hehe expressions.

Seeing that no one supported him, Gary yelled at Phil: "Your credit is not small, are you my brother or his brother?!"

In the office at the Carrington base, Ferguson was talking to Brian Kidd: "The children have grown up! I will play the substitutes and young people in the next League Cup. What do you think?"

Brian Kidd's face twitched. Why does this old man always give himself propositions? Once he fails to guess correctly, he will be scolded.

"Boss, I think we can win!"
