Chapter 337 The smile returned to his face

A few days after the England team lost to Romania, the country fell into a panic. Many media expressed their opinions. Some of them criticized Hoddle for being incompetent.

No way, since the "Sun" broke the news about the England locker room, news about the England team has been flying all over the sky.There are wildly different versions of the story, different opinions about the villains, and England fans are left bewildered by all kinds of people.

The England team far away in France is not much better. The players have made up their minds to showdown with the coaching staff and form a player committee to deal with the follow-up games.

If things really got to this point, it would be too difficult.

Based on the tactical accomplishment of the England players, the smartest result is to continue the tactics that Hoddle left the team unchanged.It is too difficult for them to rely on their own strength to reproduce the glory of 1966.

Of course, it is not without success that players kick the coach aside and go it alone. The 1974 World Cup champion Germany team has succeeded.

At that time, the German team could be described as strong and strong, but the head coach forced the team to achieve the great achievement of "opening the door black".

The World Cup does not allow the team to make any mistakes. After the defeat in the first game, the locker room immediately became a mess, as if everyone was already in hell.

Fortunately, the German team had Beckenbauer in the lineup, relying on the collective wisdom of the players to win the championship abruptly.

Since then, many national teams have wanted to follow the footsteps of the martyrs to the pinnacle of glory when the locker room was chaotic, but they are often only stepping stones on the road to other people's championships.

The England team does have a core, and Beckham has a tendency to become a dual-core offensive organization through his stable performance in the past two seasons.

It's a pity that Hoddle's brain is full of bubbles. He pushed his core on the bench and thought he was superior to others.

Even the Football Association couldn't stand his stupid behavior of stabbing his thigh with a knife. It only took one day to make an emergency strategy.

Although the England locker room was full of uproar, only the English were worried about it.The feast of the World Cup is still in full swing, and the daily games are dizzying. Where can I find the time to pay close attention to the pain-inducing performance of "Soccer on the Country".

The group stage is entering the final stage. Everyone is fighting for promotion or for honor. No one wants to pay attention to a team that is fighting for embarrassment.

The World Cup is such an important event, everyone can't wait to put their lives on the line. You have prepared for four years just to come here to embarrass yourself?
After the England team lost to Romania, many gambling companies immediately greatly reduced the England team's expectation of winning the championship. Now the odds of the England team are not even as good as the Nigeria team, and they are completely underestimated.

The final round of the group stage was not as smooth as everyone expected. The Brazilian team, which had qualified one round ahead of schedule, unexpectedly lost to the Norwegian team 1-2. It was a bit unlucky to watch the Vikings get the qualifying spot from themselves.Their central defender dragged the Norwegian striker to the penalty area under the eyes of the world, and played innocent for a long time, feeling less intelligent than Hoddle.

The outstanding Morocco team beat Scotland 3-0 in the final game and had already started to celebrate their qualifying. However, they learned that the Norwegian team scored 2 goals in a row at the last moment through the radio, and they could only bid farewell to France with tears in their eyes.

The competition for Group B of the World Cup also continued until the final round. Italy beat Austria to the top of the group and advanced to the round of [-].In another game, Chile and Cameroon drew, and they thus became the only team in this World Cup that did not win and entered the knockout round with three consecutive draws.

In Group C, the French team defeated the Danish team, which had no bright spots in the group stage, 2-1, and became No.1 in the group with three victories.

If it weren't for the good signing arrangement arranged by the host, it may be difficult for them to meet the point-giving combination of South Africa and Saudi Arabia.

The situation in Group D was also shocking. Before the game, they won both games. The Nigeria team, which locked in the group first, lost 1 to 3 to Paraguay. This made Spain's last 6 to 1 victory only a grand funeral.

They left the world only the miracle of Raul and the old age of goalkeeper Subisareta.

Nigeria became the key team in the story. They first toughened Spain head-on, and then gave Paraguay 3 points. They seemed to be the disaster star of Spain, so that everyone felt that they deliberately lost to Paraguay in order to get rid of Spain in the last game.

Later in the story, everyone realized that the African teams are really unreliable, and Paraguay is really staunch.

The match in Group E was the most suspenseful. At the end of the first half, the Netherlands led Mexico, and Belgium led Bangzi. Seeing that the two neighbors were about to stage a good brother, the situation changed suddenly in the second half.

Bazi, who conceded a total of 8 goals in the first two consecutive games, broke out suddenly, equalized the score in the second half, and dragged Belgium to death at the last moment.Mexico then tied the Netherlands and advanced to the round of 16 through their own efforts.

In the next few years, the Dutch regretted that they should not have scored so many goals. If they can enter the French half as the second in the group, the next story may be Germany, Croatia, France, Brazil, and then take turns holding high in front of the whole world.

Germany is as stable as an old dog and successfully pushed Yugoslavia to the track of the Dutch team.

On the last day of the group stage, the match in Group G suddenly became the focus of media attention.

Not because of England, but because of Romania.

When the Romanian and Tunisian teams sang their national anthems, everyone was surprised to find that the Romanian players all dyed their hair in the colors of the national flag.

Yellow hair, yellow uniform, yellow socks, looks like 11 mountain cannons, or a row of young and Dangerous.

The camera turns to the coaching bench of the Romanian team. The head coach is reflecting the flashlight above his head. There is no aesthetic feeling when he and the players are put together.

In another game that started at the same time, the boys of the England team were quite interesting.

Not only are they good-looking, but they also have the ceiling of appearance. Beckham, who would have thought that the core players of the England team did not get the starting qualification for the first time until the third game of the group stage.

The night the FA commissioner airborne the England team, Ince was very annoyed. He regretted that he hadn't given Hoddle two shots in the dressing room, and his annoyance even affected his sleep.

As a result, when he saw Hoddle the next day, his knot was immediately resolved. The nominal head coach of the England team wore a pair of large sunglasses, but still did not cover his panda eyes.

Comfortable!

At this time, the England players who were singing "God Save the Queen" looked serious.

Before the game, it was believed that England had no advantage over Colombia.

And the opponent in front of them is indeed very well-known. First, Iguita, who is constantly playing tricks, almost cast a psychological shadow on the Argentine team by penetrating short passes in the US World Cup qualifiers.

Many people have probably forgotten that the Colombian team in the US World Cup was the favorite to win the championship before the game, but they only passed but did not shoot, and they did not even qualify for the group stage.

Colombia's failure directly made the short-pass infiltration style of play smash the brand. Many people sneered at the mention of this style of play. It was not until Barcelona and Spain played similar tactics to perfection that people re-approved this style of play.

On the court, Beckham had a serious expression. Since the day he came to France, the smile disappeared from his face.

This game is a battle of life and death for the England team, and the whole team is in a whirlpool.

As the center of the vortex, he knows that sometimes a game can determine the life of a professional player, such as Baggio 4 years ago, and Bierhoff two years ago.

If he loses this game, it will probably take many years for him to wash away the shame of today, and it is even more likely that he will not be able to wash it off in his entire life.

He still doesn't understand that he just wants to play football well, but he can't even realize this little wish.

Before the game started, all the teammates came to hug Beckham, and he said the same thing to every teammate: "They are the ones who go home!"

His word is a promise, and he promises to take everyone forward.

With the referee's whistle, the life-and-death battle kicked off.

Colombia struck first, as many expected.

The "Golden Retriever Lion" Valderrama, with a yellow afro, pierced the entire England midfield with a 30-meter low ball, almost allowing Aspria to single-handedly.

Unexpectedly, the black and hard Campbell burst out with a strange force, and even used explosive power to overwhelm the Colombian striker and clear the football from the bottom line.

This is why Hoddle has always insisted on letting him play. Even though the Tottenham central defender's skills are rough, he is still entrusted with important tasks.

The reason Hoddle uses him is to let him curb the breakthrough ability of the aliens.

But the reality is that before he finished the group stage, he became a puppet figure. Whether the England team can qualify for the group stage is two-sided, and the idea of ​​competing with Brazil has now become a joke.

He stood silent on the sidelines, with Neil Bright and Kevin Keegan standing beside him.

Keegan was pretending to be calm on the sidelines with his arms folded, but in fact he was still in a daze until now.

His time in charge of League One team Fulham was not bad, but his heart was less passionate. He missed the time when he played against Ferguson two seasons ago.

Now it seems that that is simply the pinnacle of his life.

After missing that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he wasn't sure if he would still have the chance to coach a big club in his life. After all, his personality was a bit complete, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for a job in the second-tier league.

He knew that he could not be the first choice of the England team, so when the FA called him and explained his intentions, he agreed without thinking.

He felt that this was a rare opportunity. England was eliminated and the blame went to Hoddle. He must be indispensable for England's good results.

Of course, things cannot be said so nakedly. Like Beckham, he is a person who pursues his career.

The game continued, and he applauded the players without reservation.

What the team needs now is not high pressure, nor a mocking face, but a person who is in the same boat.

If the team lacks such a person, he is willing to be such a person.

The game continued, and the Colombians discovered a problem in 30 minutes. They were not at the same level as the England team in terms of running ability.

They were surprised to find that the guy wearing No. 7 was able to maintain a high-intensity running all the time. His running covered the entire midfield, which made the England team, which was still at a disadvantage, evenly divided with them.

After 30 minutes, as the running ability of the Colombian midfielder Valderrama declined, their advantage in possession rate was quickly lost.

With the advantage of possession, the role of Hesky on the goal board is highlighted. He brought three dangerous situations to Colombia's goal in just 5 minutes.

Some annoyed Colombian players gradually became violent. They didn't react until they tackled Scholes not far from the penalty area. The head coach made repeated orders not to give the opponent a free kick before the game.

When Beckham picked up the football, Iguita ran over, pointed at him and said: "You don't want to score in front of me!"

Beckham didn't look at Higuita at all, he put the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and then began to prepare according to the process repeated tens of thousands of times in training.

The moment the referee blew the whistle, the entire stadium fell silent.

Hathaway opened her eyes wide in the stands, Keegan dug his hands into his arms, Sophie Marceau stood up from her seat, and even Ferguson in front of the TV began to chew gum crazily.

With the entire stadium watching, Beckham ran up, swinging his legs sideways, and raised his left hand high.

"David kicked, the football went around the wall, the ball went in, dead end!"

Martin Taylor stood up excitedly: "The opponent's goalkeeper judged the right direction, but the football went into a dead corner! After David returned, the England team was back on track. Glenn didn't figure out who should win the game, this poor guy! David is destined to be a great player, and he is now!"

Seeing Beckham running wildly on the lawn, the whole stadium cheered and one of the neutral stands screamed.

Bei Fan ran around with the England team, and finally saw the blond Beckham running all over the field.

By the way, the smile returned to his face.

　My daughter-in-law has been working from home for the past two days. She worked overtime today and I haven't used the computer. . .
