The most low-key superstar

Chapter 399
In 2006, the United States performed poorly in the World Cup in Germany. Bradley temporarily took over the coaching position at this time. He quickly rebuilt the foundation of the team and allowed more young players to enter the team.After a series of successful friendly matches, the U.S. Football Association officially appointed him as the coach of the national team on May 2007, 5. In July of the same year, Bradley led the U.S. team to win the North American Gold Cup, winning 15-7 in the final. Beat Mexico.

Since 2008, Bradley has led the team to the World Cup qualifiers, and finally successfully broke through in October 2009. In the Confederations Cup in the summer of 10, the US team surprisingly defeated the European champion Spain.

At this moment, he is using his American tone to mobilize the team members, "Guys, did you see that what I have in my hand is a piece of news that I just downloaded from the website. Among our opponents, there is a man named Nicole- The Williams guy, the captain of Manchester United, you all know?"

"I know, great guy." Howard was very familiar with Nicole.

"I heard that there is going to be a transfer, the price is 4000 million, oh, it's really not cheap, the calculation result is that his worth alone is worth our team, guys, think about it!"

"Go to hell, I will let him know that I am the best." A young man suddenly became furious.

"These damn Brits, teach them a lesson!!"

'Young people just can't stand excitement, passion! 'Bradley was secretly delighted. In this game against England, in Bradley's opinion, if he wants to score points, he must work hard on the player's aura, otherwise, he will really fight with the opponent. Strength and worth are the embodiment of strength, and Bradley still understands this aspect very well.

Seeing the enthusiasm of his teammates, Donovan and Howard beside him did not speak, but just looked at each other, they both understood each other's meaning, "The head coach is too cunning!" '

Others don't know, but the two of them have fought against Nicole, and they knew how much he weighed, so they didn't have the guts to yell that they were going to teach Nicole a lesson, and then both of them saw the same thing that said they were going to teach Nicole a lesson. The guy - Clark.

'God bless you, don't be impulsive. '

Bradley's U.S. team also has many problems, one of which is that Bradley trusts young people too much, and under Bradley's encouragement, the young players of the U.S. team are almost arrogant to the point of superciliousness, like Only players like Howard and Donovan who have been in Europe know the weight of world football falling to the ground.

Capello's decision made Nicole a little unprepared. The head coach had gone out for almost 2 minutes, and the big stars in England were still staring at the silent Nicole.

"Nicole, Nicole!" Rooney poked Nicole with his finger, which is not how Nichol is usually.

"Hehe, I'm thinking a little too much," Nicole came to his senses. "We've always been rivals. The world is amazing now. We're teammates now, and we'll fight together."

Everyone didn't speak, but the weird atmosphere just now dissipated, and everyone was very quiet, listening to the captain's speech seriously.

"What I want to say is that we treat every opponent seriously, and we will have a corresponding return. I just want to finish this World Cup with everyone, because, next time, I don't know if we can get together .”

"Don't be like this, Nicole. Besides, I'm going to cry." Rooney opened his mouth to speak first, and the atmosphere that Nicole had finally brewed was swept away.

"Then, let's beat those Yankees! Teach them about real football!"

"Yes, teach them a lesson!"

This sentence obviously resonated with everyone.

"Players from both sides are on the field, and the game is about to start. This is South Africa. We will bring you a live broadcast of the World Cup Group C match between England and the United States at the Royal Banfokeng Stadium."

Tens of thousands of England fans sang God Save the Queen. Amidst the deafening singing, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game. At the very beginning, the American team fully demonstrated their youthful vigor and frequently launched to the hinterland of England. shock.

The England team didn't seem to care, and they shrunk back very cooperatively, pulling the US team's formation completely out.

Clark, the guy who was going to teach Nichols a lesson before the game, really set his sights on Nichols. He had sized up Nichols in the player tunnel. However, because Nichols was in the front, he didn't pay attention to this young kid at all. .

"Clark, he's fast, he's going straight to Nickell with the ball."

"Oh—brave lad!!"

Nickel turned around and didn't go directly to meet him. Instead, it became Clark leading the ball forward, while Nickel was defending on the side. However, from the stand, it was that Nickel was pushing Clark to the sidewalk step by step.

Clarke decided to come to the sideline when he was near the baseline, because Nickell didn't give him a chance to pass the ball along the way.

"Damn it, bastard." Clark cursed the cunning Nickel in his heart.

"Stop!!!"

"Oh, the ball was broken. Clark made an emergency stop to pass and threw off Nicole. However, it seemed that Nicole had prepared for it, and his feet were faster. The ball under Clark's feet was hooked by Nicole."

"Beautiful defense! Nickel taught his opponent a good lesson. It was effortless and there was no foul. However, the goal of defense was achieved. The US team did not get any chance to attack at all. The ball was completely Be controlled by Nicole."

"Oh!! It's Clark again. Nickel squeezed Clark away abruptly and snatched the ball away. Opportunity! Pass—"

"Danger!!"

"Gerrard, he got a through pass from Nicole—"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! This is England's first goal in this World Cup! England took the lead in just 4 minutes!"

"Simple, direct, and England's attack was very concise! After Nicole intercepted the ball in midfield, he took two steps forward and then suddenly passed the ball forward. Before Nickell intercepted the ball, the England players started Movement, that's the sign of a mature team."

"Steven Gerrard! He scored England's first goal!"

When Gerrard slammed the ball into the gate guarded by Howard, the England fans jumped up from their seats. They had just sat down, and a huge roar erupted from the Banfokeng Stadium. This sound was made by the England fans. Huge cheers!

At this moment, most of the tens of thousands of fans in the United States are looking for seats with Coke and popcorn.

"What's the matter. Goal?"

"It shouldn't be, this is just the beginning!"

"Damn England, their captain just now definitely fouled!"

When Nickel pushed Clark away, Clark lost his balance and fell to the ground, and he raised his hand, 'He fouled!He hit me. '

However, at that time, the referee ignored him and made a gesture to continue the game.

Now that the goal has been scored, the players from England gathered near the corner area and were celebrating the goal. Now the players from the United States quickly surrounded the referee and complained to the referee, thinking that Nicole made an intentional foul and hit the referee. Arrived at Clark.

"It's a joke. If this is considered a foul, then don't play football. Obviously, when Clark was dribbling the ball just now, he lost control of the football. Nickel took the opportunity to grab the position and succeeded. This is a beautiful defense!" Lineker was very happy today, and Sky TV once again invited him to be a game commentator.

Today, Capello wears glasses and looks like a scholar. When Gerrard kicked the ball in, he just clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head. He waved it vigorously a few times, looking very graceful. However, Beckham, who was sitting on the coach's bench, looked very excited. He also jumped up from his seat and jumped up high. It was completely impossible to see that he had just recovered from the operation.

Before the match, there were reports that Beckham was recruited into the coaching staff by Capello, but Capello quickly refuted the rumors, "It's nothing at all, David is a player who owes England, because Injured, he can't play, but we're going to take him to South Africa and have him with us at the closest distance, if David is on the coaching staff, it's not fair to the other coaches."

That is to say, Beckham is a staff member of the England national team. He has no specific tasks, but to boost the morale of the players and act as a communication bridge between the players and the coach.

Bradley stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face, and now his brain is running rapidly. This is not his script. In his eyes, an old England-style team with a decadent smell of the Middle Ages. Under the impact of people, they should have a chance. At the beginning of the game, the situation was not bad, but with such a counterattack, the opponent scored a goal, which made Bradley a little unexpected.

In fact, this is because Bradley has been coaching in the United States for a long time and has no experience in coaching in Europe. Although he has theoretical support for the current popular tactics, he lacks experience in games against old strong teams, especially European teams. I beat Spain in the Confederations Cup, and that's because of that kind of game. For European teams, rest is more important than hard work.

However, it is undeniable that the players of the US team are of good physical fitness, and they are more imaginative and aggressive.

The Mi Zi flag waving all over the sky finally stopped, the unreasonable troubles of the American team were also forcefully dispelled by the referee, and the game restarted.

The Americans are like this. In front of them, no one can stop their footsteps. The conceded goal just now did not affect their hearts at all. Before Bradley made adjustments, they still desperately launched an attack.

The US team's ability to achieve such results is very much inseparable from their small coordination skills.

Locally, their cooperation is very skillful, and they can always form certain advantages.

"Donovan! Control the ball, pass it to Cherendolo, look, no chance, Cherendolo diverts the ball to Dempsey behind, Dempsey - long pass!!"

Dempsey's long pass was very accurate, directly over King's head, and Findlay inserted it at high speed. If he got the ball, he would directly face England's goalkeeper Green.

"Green! Green took the ball off steadily. The U.S. team's attack did not result in a shot."

"Rooney! Nice dribble, shot - high! The England attack went very fast, Green threw the ball to Gerrard, Gerrard quickly passed it to Nicole, and Nichols sent the ball to the right wing Diagonally forward, the ball was sent just right, which was just right for Lennon's sprint. Nickel's former teammate Lennon was very fast. After the cross, Rooney got a chance to shoot, but Rooney didn't hold down the shot. It's a pity .”

"We can see that the England team played very easily and did not have too much pressure. This is also related to the inability of the US team's midfield to organize an effective offense. The midfielder led by Nickel gave the US team They created a lot of trouble, and the Americans need to figure out how to solve the midfield organization problem, otherwise, they will have no chance to equalize."

"The British have a certain advantage. Although our American team seems to have the initiative on the scene, in fact, it is the British who are more threatening. It is difficult for our offense to reach the opponent's 30-meter area." The American commentator seized every opportunity to give American audiences take basic football knowledge classes. For them, in addition to disseminating the game, there is another task, which is to popularize football knowledge.

Nickel received a short pass from Gerrard from near the midfield. With a flick of the instep, the ball went to Ashley Cole. The left back's assist has always been England's traditional tactic. After Capello came, Did not give up either.

Milner was protecting Cole. This time, the US team retreated quickly, and Cole did not charge too far. Soon the ball returned to Nichol's feet, and Nichol started to take the ball to Li Chong, he constantly uses changes in rhythm to get rid of the opponent's defense.

"Nikkor's through ball!!"

"Husky - oops!! He started a step too late, what a pity, what a beautiful pass, England's midfielder under the organization of Nickell's attack is very layered, but at the end, Husky has some slow."

In fact, this also has something to do with Nicole's position. He didn't dare to press too high, because, in the Manchester United team, there were always people behind him to protect him, even two midfielders. In the England team, although Gerrard Cooperate with him, however, Gerrard is more aggressive, often giving up his position, running in front of Nicole, the first goal is, the reason why Gerrard got a pass from Nicole, that is Because the striker is behind him.

No way, Nichol had no choice but to put himself behind, which to a certain extent limited Nichol's performance.

"Stupid tactics! Nicole's power can only be used halfway at most, Capello, but that's all." When Nicole was distressed, Mourinho, who was watching the game at home in Portugal, saw the problem. The gold medal coach who is rumored to succeed him is a little disappointed.

Originally, he had already reached the point where he could sign a contract with Real Madrid, but due to the unexpected appearance of Nicole, he now had to hold off and wait for the results of the negotiations between Moratti and Glazer.

It is not groundless that Nicole is worth 4000 million euros, which is being rumored on the Internet. It is the news that Glazer deliberately leaked, with the intention of forcing Moratti to submit.

"It's too conservative. Nickell's role is not only to maintain the balance of the team, but his greater role is to lead the team to victory." Ferguson turned off the TV. Now he cares less about football and watched it for a while After discovering the problem, he didn't want to watch it anymore. Obviously, he was also disappointed with Capello.

The tenacity of the Americans is not bad, and they don't worry if they can't start the offensive. They just keep looking for opportunities, short passes, long passes, breakthroughs from the side, penetration in the center, and various methods emerge in endlessly.

"If things go on like this, the Americans will have no chance at all. They seem to have a lot of means, but they are not systematic, so the damage to England will not be great." The US team's offensive system was chaotic.

In fact, this is Bradley's system, and what he pays attention to is winning in chaos.

Nicole finally couldn't bear it any longer. If he continued to play like this, he would really switch positions with Gerrard. According to the tactical design, he was the main attacker. However, Gerrard grabbed more scenes.

"Steven, I need protection."

After hearing what Nicole said, Gerald couldn't help being taken aback, protection?

It seems that Gerrard didn't have this concept in his mind at all, and Capello didn't make it clear, because Gerrard had never done this task.

"I..." Nicole was a little speechless, after all, he was not the head coach, and Gerrard was considered a standard-bearer in England, so Nicole really couldn't say it.

"Be careful!" Nicole yelled, and rushed towards Donovan.

"Foul?" The commentator looked at Donovan, who was rolling all over the ground, and had some doubts that Nichol was suspected of fouling this tackle. Just now Donovan wanted to force his way through here, how could Nichol agree, a fallen man The tackle broke the ball out of the sideline, and Donovan tripped over Nickell's foot, where he writhed in agony with his hands on his ankle.

Clark ran over and made a gesture of showing a yellow card to the referee, reminding the referee that this foul is bad and you should play the card.

At first, the referee didn't pay attention to him. As a result, the man, not finished, gestured to the referee again.

As a result, the tragedy was himself, and the referee directly showed Clark a yellow card.

"This is the first yellow card given by the referee in today's game. It was given to Clark of the US team."

In fact, the referee was in a good position just now, and it was very clear that Nickle's tackle was clean and there was no foul, and Donovan should be faking it.

"Hush..." Now the American fans quit. Isn't this bullying? They obviously fouled, so why would they give cards to our irrelevant players.

Needless to say, the boos of the Americans were really neat, and the momentum was not small.

"This is the consequence of not knowing the ball." Lineker said helplessly.

Donovan saw that his teammates had all taken the cards, and he didn't dare to pretend anymore, so he had to stand up by himself, and the game continued.

This time, the England fans were overjoyed, and the boos that shook the sky filled the entire stadium, and the momentum was much stronger than that of the Americans.

"This is the quality of a professional fan." Lineker was also happy.
