Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 140 Great Victory (1)

At 17 o'clock in the morning on the 10th, on a small training ground at the Stadium of Light, the England team was doing some adaptive training. The players were all in high spirits, because they ushered in their second opponent in the group stage in the afternoon-Switzerland Team.

"England is the birthplace of football. What every English fan wants to see most is the revival of English football!" After training, Eriksson called the players together and said: "And you are burdened with This seed of hope."

"Every game, there are tens of thousands of England fans cheering for you, and on the island of Great Britain, there are even tens of millions of fans squatting by the TV, watching your performance, pinning their hopes on you, What should you do?" After speaking, Eriksson stared and waited for the players' answers.

"Play hard!"

"win!"

"Score a few more goals!"

……

These big-name players are obviously not as good as the well-trained army, and the answers are messy, but the cry from the bottom of everyone's heart still makes the serious Swede nodded in satisfaction, "Although We beat the French team, but the players on the field should know that it was just luck, so this game must not be underestimated."

"As long as we can win the game, the England team will be able to qualify ahead of schedule, which will also satisfy the fans. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The answer was very neat this time.

In the 2004 European Cup qualifiers, the Swiss team was not favored, but Kuhn's team finally entered the final stage with No.1 in the tenth group.

Many critics believe that the main reason for the success of the Swiss team is the decline of the two rivals Russia and Ireland in the same group. Although the two teams have more talented players, the performance of the Swiss team proves that they are also always very good teams, especially Their forward line, the partnership of veterans Steven Chapsett and Alexander Faury, almost averaged more than two goals per game in the qualifiers. This efficiency is also top-notch in the world.

Therefore, if the England team underestimates the enemy, it is easy to add another upset to the European Championship.

After taking a cold shower in the bathroom, Wang Li wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked into the locker room. After every training, no matter what the weather is, he likes to take a cold shower, which can greatly increase the circulation in his body and increase his internal strength. The flow is more active and helps to recover from fatigue.

"Haha, Alan, did you offend the Lusa reporter yesterday?" Bridget walked in with a newspaper in his hand, saw Wang Li, and smiled gleefully.

"Reporter?" Wang Li froze for a moment, then frowned and said, "There seems to be a man with a mustache who insisted on interviewing me, but I ignored him."

"That's right, you read this report." At this time, the teammates next to him came over curiously, and when Bridget spread the newspapers on the table, Wang Li noticed the big newspaper in the lower left corner of the "News Agency". Title ---- 'Sensational Clown'.

"There are many rookies who work hard, veterans who are worthy of admiration, and famous people who have made great achievements in football, but in this atmosphere, there are still many clowns, yes, clowns."They don't have the ability to beat their opponents on the football field, and they don't have the ability to gain the approval of the fans, so they find many ways to attract the attention of the audience to gain fame, such as doing some circus performances on the field, and making their own alternative shots , Even this still can't satisfy their vanity, but they insist on using some ghosts and gods on the sidelines to sensationalize the public. '

'It's hard to imagine why this kind of player is eligible to enter the national team. Is it because of blood relationship?Or some other behind-the-scenes event?If this kind of clown who wants to be famous is allowed to cholera in the beautiful football field, it is hard to imagine what the world football will be like. '－－Kuriert.**Sandro

This report did not mention any names at all, but those who have some knowledge of recent news can certainly think of Wang Li. Facing such naked personal attacks, he has nothing to do, because the report does not mention any Name, even if you go to the court to sue, it is difficult to succeed. This is an important reason why Kulierte was blacklisted by Portuguese clubs.

Wang Li clenched his fists tightly. Although he kept telling him to calm down in his heart, anyone who appeared in this kind of newspaper and suffered such insults would feel uncomfortable. If it was in the Song Dynasty, he would not even think about it. , I went straight to chop the reporter up, but it's a pity that it's the 21st century.

"Don't worry, this reporter has a very bad reputation. He earns his living by insulting players. I've heard his name before. He has a bad reputation throughout Portugal. Fans watch his reports just to pass the time." Michael Owen looked at Wang Li's flushed cheeks, patted Wang Li's back worriedly, and comforted him.

"He's the grandstanding clown, Alan, it's all right."

Wang Li turned his head and forced a smile, "I'm fine, thank you." Although he said that, he was very angry in his heart. As a professional football player, he can only fight back against this kind of criticism with his performance on the field. Like the tragic Francisco Falfes last time, SIC TV also made a 10-minute short film for him. In order to allow Harry, who is more than one meter tall, to ride on him, he directly knelt on the ground and got into it. Under the collie.

However, because of this, his reputation is even more popular now. It is said that SIC intends to invite him to be the commentator of the sports column.

There are gains and losses...

…………

At 17:50, at the Coimbra City Stadium, the game between England and Switzerland was finally about to start.

"1, 2, 3, come on!" On the field, the players of the England team formed a circle, and under the leadership of captain Beckham, they cheered for the team and themselves. In this game, Wang Li was still defeated. Arranged on the bench, but he is already very lucky, another striker Vassell has not been able to enter the team's squad so far.

The commentator of Sky TV is still Graham. His passionate commentary is indeed very popular with the fans. According to the survey, 93.7% of the fans are very satisfied with his commentary. Before the game started, Graham hurried Introduce the Swiss team's playing list, "Swiss coach Jakob Kuhn formed a 4312 formation, the goalkeeper is the team's captain No. 1 Steele, No. 5 Murat Yakin leads the back line, and No. 2 Haas, No. 20 Miller, No. 17 Spicher, No. 16 Celestini as the defensive midfielder, No. 18 Hugel and No. 16 Celestini as the left and right fullbacks, and No. 10 as the front midfielder Hakan Yakin, the forwards are No. 11 Chapuisat and No. 9 Alexander Frey."

"It seems that Kuhn trusts Chapuisat very much. This veteran will start again. In the qualifiers, the efficiency of this pair of forward partners is very high. It is not clear whether Chapuisat can play the whole game. , knowing that he has already passed his 35th birthday, the veteran's physical problems are indeed worrying."

"This game is very important for both teams. The Swiss team drew with Croatia in the last game. If they lose this game, their chances of qualifying are very small. As long as the England team can win the game, they will be fine. To be the first team in the four groups to qualify is of course what the Swedes want, and we are looking forward to the next performance of these boys."

While Graham was nagging, the referee Ivanov looked down at his watch, walked to the center circle, put the whistle to his mouth, "beep...", with the whistle , the game started.

Owen swung his right foot and kicked the ball to Rooney. Rooney passed back to Gerrard behind him, and he went straight to the Swiss half.

The England team played a few passes in the backcourt. After pulling the Swiss team apart, Lampard stabbed Beckham on the right.Beckham got the ball, but unexpectedly did not pass the ball, but broke through the center line from the right.

After reacting, Hugel immediately ran over to intercept, and saw that Beckham was slowly dribbling the ball. Suddenly, he accelerated and changed direction, passed Hugel very cleanly and beautifully, and continued to dribble forward.As the captain of the England team, heartthrob David Beckham is by no means only able to pass the ball with one kick. Although it is rare to see his breakthrough, it definitely does not mean that he does not have this ability. You must know that in his When he was not famous, he often staged a good show at Old Trafford.

After passing Hugel, Beckham looked up at the frontcourt, raised his right foot and made a long pass, and the ball flew towards the small penalty area.

At this time, in the penalty area, Rooney was surrounded by two defensive players, but his body was indeed dominant. I saw him squeeze hard, squeezed out a small space, and then jumped straight up, ferrying the ball with a header, and the ball Changed direction in the air and flew towards the left side of the Swiss goal.

Unfortunately, the ball brushed the goal post and flew out of the baseline, which caused regretful sighs from the audience.

Just over 1 minute into the game, the England team used a thrilling header to give the Swiss team a bad start. Wayne Rooney, who was only 18 years old, 7 months and 24 days old, almost scored his goal in the European Championship. The first goal of the finals.
