Chapter 568: The Real Battle Comes

The World Cup group stage is all over, some happy and some sad.

In just ten days, it seems that people's lives have been condensed.

Everyone wants to leave a strong mark in the World Cup, but most people can't do it.

The background of life is sad. Everyone is working hard, but often after a lot of hard work, it is still the embellishment on the background board in the end.

In the past 10 days, Beckham saw Zidane's helplessness, Figo's unwillingness, Batty's tears, and many other scenes that made people sigh.

In the World Cup in France four years ago, Beckham was only 22 years old.

Restricted by age and life experience, he could not understand the meaning of "competitive sports are cruel".

At that time, he only had himself in his mind, and he didn't want to care about anything other than the England team.

In the past four years, he found that his perspective on life has changed a lot.The most obvious thing is that he can feel the pain of others and understand the difficulties of others.

But this does not mean that he will be merciless at critical moments, on the contrary, he will be more ruthless.

Because he is the leader of the team!

The word "leader" is not as simple as it is said, nor is it what it says it is.

A leader must be determined to lead his teammates forward and must be determined to do the right thing.

Football is a sport of mutual achievement. Without the support of teammates, no matter how outstanding your personal ability is, you don't even want to taste what it feels like to win a trophy.

The whole world knows that this is its own era, and this game is the best time for England to lift the trophy.The head coach lets himself, and his teammates follow him, in order to stand at the pinnacle of glory.

Therefore, Beckham is always full of confidence in front of his teammates, and always full of fighting spirit at critical moments of the game.

The rest of the England squad has been playing happy football so far.

But happiness will be rare in the next stage, and every team will have to fight hard to enjoy a moment of joy at the final whistle before focusing on the next game.

Life is not like this. Beckham only hopes that his teammates can stand up. Before reaching the peak, there may only be tension, fear, panic, and exhaustion, which are not very good experiences.

The reason why the World Cup is precious is that on the road to the championship, everyone has to cut through countless thorns, cheer up in countless moments of self-doubt, and move forward bravely.

No matter what kind of situation comes next, Beckham feels that he can accept it.

The group stage is over, and the knockout match will be released soon.

The German team played against Paraguay. The German team recovered a bit after being forced to eliminate the old players.The Paraguay team is the hard stubble in the second place in the 8 groups. The German team has a little advantage, but this game is a big test for them.

The Danish team and the Swedish team met the two Vikings, and Beckham seemed to see two Viking warships meeting in the Mediterranean Sea, marching side by side, the sailors loaded shells and fired at each other, and cursed at each other.

Speaking of this, Beckham remembered that at the beginning of the year, Jobs brought a Disney executive to explain the script to himself.

After listening to the bizarre stories told by Disney representatives, even Beckham in the World Cup year was deeply impressed.

Immediately in his mind, he was wearing a medieval pirate costume, moving around under heavy siege, so elegant.

Representatives of Disney Pictures clearly stated that as long as Beckham can play the role, they are willing to pay 3500 million yuan, an absolute top-level salary.

They also said that if Beckham was willing to play, the filming time could be taken after the World Cup.

Beckham thought about it, and finally gave up, because the role was portrayed as too coquettish, and it didn't fit his current public image at all.

With his current status, chasing money is no longer the main purpose of life, and life has jumped to the spiritual level.He really couldn't accept the child mentioning himself. In his impression, he was not a heartthrob, but a pirate who was full of anger in every gesture.

He learned from Old John that "Pirates of the Caribbean" will not only become a hit, but also become a series of movies that are well-known to everyone.The cycle is long enough to turn an ignorant teenager into a middle-aged man. When he retires from the green field, the series of movies are still being filmed, and children can only know themselves from the movies.

At that time, everyone will say: "It turns out that that coquettish uncle was so handsome when he was young, why haven't everyone seen his true colors?!"

Thinking that his image would be ruined by this well-known series of movies, Beckham could only decline.

This expansion between the Nordic teams is completely a manifestation of history going off track.

In the old John's world, the England team was tied by the Nigeria team in the last round, and thus squeezed to the second place in the group by the Swedish team, and met the Danish team in the round of 16.

Although the England team won the Denmark team happily, it was a big failure to meet the Brazil team in advance.In the case of that England team, the later he meets a strong team, the more time Beckham will have to regain his form.

England's opponent in the round of 16 is Senegal, which won the French team. This opponent looks more difficult than the Danish team, but England will not have to meet a strong team until the semi-finals. This must be the best result.

The schedule of the World Cup is very tight. The England team will start the first game on June 6, and the final will be played on June 2.

If you want to win the championship, you have to maintain the intensity of the game for nearly 4 days.If you encounter a strong team and get into overtime, it will definitely add too much pressure to the subsequent games.

Although the Senegalese team can toss, as long as they are dealt with within 90 minutes, the problem is not too big.

Bangzi found the soft persimmon Italian team in their minds. They probably thought that the Azzurri had stumbled in the group, probably because of a problem with their state.

But those who are familiar with Italy's previous World Cup history should know that the Brazilian team in 94 was so bad in the group stage, but they finally entered the finals, and they even fought the Brazilian team to a penalty shootout.

Benzi chose the relatively weak Turkish team among the muscular flow teams, and he played well with his little abacus.

Regardless of the outcome, anyway, the two hosts made the World Cup schedule a mess.According to the situation of the previous knockout rounds, if the two teams in the same group go all the way, they will meet at the top.

But in this competition, the teams in the same group will win all the way, and they will be foreseen halfway up the mountain in advance.In another world, Brazil met Turkey in the semifinals.

Looking back on this World Cup, everyone's first impression is that they did not expect Bangzi to dare to abuse the power in his hands to such an extent that it has reached the point of completely ignoring the rules of the game.

In the first round of the knockout round, the German team played against Paraguay. The tall German used his physical advantage to keep suppressing the Paraguay team at the beginning, but Klose and Ballack continued to waste opportunities.

Paraguay also performed well under the leadership of the legendary goalkeeper Chilavert. Their defense is difficult. Chilavert, who is good at free kicks, can often organize attacks in the backcourt. The toughest team in South America does not show weakness in front of the Germans.

At the beginning of the second half, the German team had a few good opportunities, but the ability of these tall and rough guys to grasp the opportunities is really not very good, so they can show their prestige in front of the Paraguay team.

The German team did not complete the lore until the end of the game. The Paraguayan player played wildly and gave Ballack an elbow before leaving. The German advanced to the top 8 with a good background.

In the second game, the Danish team beat the Swedish team 2-1.Should Brazil beat Belgium, the two teams will meet in the quarter-finals for the second consecutive World Cup.

The third knockout game was played by England against Senegal.

With history being rewritten, Beckham has no way of knowing what will happen next.The mobility of African teams is daunting, but their state fluctuates greatly, and their ability to do things must not be underestimated.

On June 6, the England and Senegal teams stood at the Oita Stadium.

I don't know if it's because the book likes the England team, or what the reason is, the first four games of the England team are all hanging around in the book.

Before walking out of the tunnel, Beckham clapped his hands and shouted: "Guys, we must maintain absolute confidence, believe in ourselves and our teammates.

Let's go up there now and get 'em in 90 minutes!

let's go! "
