Chapter 107 Gallic Rooster
In the game between England and Denmark, due to George's wonderful performance, one pass and one shot completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Danish team. In the rest of the time, the Danish team, which had lost its fighting spirit, became a lamb to be slaughtered. Long-range shots from Lampard and Gerrard finally locked the score at 4:1.

England defeated the Danish team, while the French team encountered a deadlock from Spain, especially Raul's wonderful performance, which made the powerful French team stunned by Raul's two goals, but in the end Spain still couldn't withstand the attacks of Henry, Trezeguet and Pires. The French team finally won the game 3:2 with difficulty.

In this way, according to the rules of the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, the England team is temporarily ranked first. Although this is just an ordinary invitational game, the French and Spanish teams may not show their real strength, but even so, England's current two consecutive victories have made England fans and the media very excited. They shouted that this national team is the strongest national team in the past 20 years.

In the match between England and Denmark, George came off the bench in the second half and once again became the most dazzling star in the game with one pass and one shot. Since it was a national team game, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.

George's outstanding performance made Wenger, who had always wanted to get it, gritted his teeth fiercely, only blaming himself for not being the head coach of Liverpool.Not only Wenger, but also Sevilla in La Liga, Marseille in Ligue [-], and Turin in Italy began to be interested in George. For a while, faxes wanting to buy George were continuously sent to Morse and Parry. Regarding this situation, Parry and Morse firmly rejected the idea of ​​selling George.

George is not very clear about these things, because there is no time for George to think too much.Because the main players of the national teams of various countries, except for the Premier League, other leagues are also preparing to start. Every club hopes that the national team can send their players back earlier.After all, once the winter break is over, it means it's time to sprint.

It is precisely for this reason that the match between England and France will start the day after the end of the match between England and Denmark. The members of the England and France teams only have one day off. It can be said that it is a test in terms of physical fitness.However, the French team is also having a hard time. It also consumes a lot of physical energy when encountering Spain's deadlock.

At Old Trafford in Manchester, England will be here to meet the most powerful opponent of the Four Nations Invitational, the French team.For this game, the English media are not very optimistic about this game. After all, the current French team is definitely a world-class team, especially the French midfielder Zidane has been in a particularly good state during this period. Henry and Trezeguet are extremely brave. England wants to beat the French team, one word: difficult.

"In half an hour, we will welcome a strong French team. Although I don't want to say it, I have to admit that this French team is very strong. It is also the team of the French World Cup champion in 98. The French team can be said to be the strongest opponent we have encountered in the current England team. As for the first two teams, Spain may not show its true strength. As for the Danish team, it is not our opponent at all. It can be said that now is the real test of our four-nation invitational tournament."

Keegan looked at the English players and said calmly. Before the game started, he began to put pressure on the players, because Keegan was not as proud as the English players because of the previous two victories. If he played against the French team with this proud attitude, the result would be a dead end.

"The weakest part of the French team is probably the goalkeeper of the French team, Barthez. This dead bald man is also in the Premier League. A few years ago, I am afraid that this dead bald man is very powerful. But now Barthez is old and his condition is horribly declining. Although he is still an excellent goalkeeper, for the French team, the goalkeeper position of Barthez is undoubtedly the weakest part of the French team. David, Barthez and you are teammates in the club. What habits does Barthez have? Wait, you tell George and Heskey. say."

Looking at the information prepared by the assistant coach for himself, Keegan said slowly.

"I know the coach, I know what to do." Hearing Keegan's words, Beckham nodded and agreed.Although he and Barthez are teammates in the club, but now everyone is fighting for their own country, and the personal friendship will naturally be put aside.

"I don't need to say more about the defense of the French team. Everyone knows a lot about those guys. In short, you have to remember that those guys are not the defenders of the Danish team. They are not so easy to deal with. My request is very simple, that is cooperation, especially fast and accurate cooperation."

Regarding the situation in France, Keegan had already told the players in England.Four defenders, although Desailly is old and slow, but in terms of early high-altitude balls, Desailly still has a huge advantage.Although Sylvester's defense is not as strong as Desailly's, his advantage lies in his quick response and flexible speed. With Desailly's combination, the coordination of one tall and one short, one fast and one slow is really excellent.

In addition, there is Thuram Thuram, who claims to be the only one who can defend Ronaldo one-on-one. .

Keegan spoke passionately, emphasizing that the team needs to play quickly and accurately.No way, the long pass that England is best at does not have much advantage in front of the French team. The reason is very simple, because this time Keegan arranged for England's starting striker to be George, who had an excellent performance in the previous game, and Heskey, his teammate of the same club.As for Shearer, he is getting old and needs to rest, while Irving is still a little injured. In this kind of insignificant friendly match, Keegan will naturally not take the risk of putting Owen on the field.

"The midfielder of the French team is very strong. It can be said to be the strongest. It is not only offensive, but also defensive. It can be said that the offense and defense are very balanced. But I want you to remember that for the midfielder of the French team, especially the core Zidane, you must defend closely. Don't give this bald man a chance, otherwise, we will be in big trouble."

Hearing Keegan's words, the England players nodded and said nothing. After all, everyone is familiar with the four French midfielders, especially Vieira and Pires who are in the Premier League Arsenal team.

Vieira and Makelele form the double midfielders of the French team, one tall and one short, one fast and one slow, indeed infinitely powerful.Coupled with Zidane and Pires in front, both of them can play the core of organizing the offense, so the French midfielder is very balanced in offense and defense, without any flaws.

"As for the two forwards in France, Henry and Trezeguet, two people, one is fast and has comprehensive skills, the other is strong and has a good header. Saul and Leo, you two must pay attention, these two guys are not easy to deal with. Ashley and Gary, you two should also pay attention to the zone defense and position."

Listening to Keegan's words, England's four defense generals nodded, expressing that they knew what they should do.

"Okay, don't worry too much. You must know that England is not a weak team. Believe in your own strength, play well, and defeating the French team is not as difficult as making a miracle. Warriors of England, let's play."

Following the words of head coach Keegan, George and others roared and walked out of the locker room.Watching the players walking out one by one, Keegan was full of helplessness at this time.It's not that Keegan doesn't want to win this game, it's just that the players of the French team are in excellent condition during this period, especially after watching the matches between the French team, Denmark and Spain.I still have a general understanding of the situation of the French team. Keegan knows that it is very difficult for his players to beat the current French team.
