Chapter 94 England VS Spain

As night fell, many fans in the entire city of Liverpool began to walk towards Anfield, the holy place in the hearts of Liverpool fans, but this time it was not only Liverpool fans, but also Everton fans, as well as fans from other places in England.

This time, the crowd was no longer the usual red stream, but a white wave instead, because tonight, at the Anfield Stadium, the England national team was about to play a friendly match with the Spanish national team from afar, so the fans rushing to the Anfield Stadium were all wearing the England national team jerseys. At a glance, it really looked like the white waves of the sea.

Although today's game was just a friendly match, the enthusiastic England fans were still very enthusiastic, singing and dancing towards the Anfield Stadium to support the England national team.

When the fans entered the field one after another, the members of the England national team had already arrived at Anfield Stadium and were sitting in the locker room to make final arrangements.

"If nothing else, Spain's goalkeeper this time is Iker Casillas who is rising in Real Madrid. You must remember that even though Iker Casillas is still young, this player is a typical talented goalkeeper and is very experienced. Otherwise, he would not be the main goalkeeper of Real Madrid. This guy is typically fast and quick to respond, especially because he is only 185cm tall. Height is doomed to Casillas' weakness in high-altitude balls, and everyone should take advantage of this."

Having said that, Keegan stopped and stared at the players sitting in front of him with fixed eyes. When Keegan saw that the players all had serious faces and did not despise their opponents because this time was just a simple friendly match, Keegan nodded in satisfaction.

Regarding Casillas' defense, Keegan is not worried about anything, because Casillas' height is doomed to be weak in high-altitude balls. On the contrary, among England's forwards, whether it is Shearer or Husky, they definitely have a good header ability.

"As for Spain's defense, it should be El Guerra, Puyol, Marchena and Salgado. Among them, El Guerra and Marchena have good air defense capabilities, and Salgado's assists are even stronger. As for Puyol, I don't mention it. Everyone knows that although he is not tall, he is very strong. He is an all-around player and is definitely a general in the Spanish rear."

Listening to Keegan's words, George and the others didn't say a word, but nodded to show their understanding.Although George has never played against these people, none of these people is a famous character. Even if George doesn't know much, he can enter the national team first by relying on his own strength, so George is sure that these guys are really not easy.

"The guys in the midfield, Albelda, Baraja, Echeberia and Guti, are characterized by excellent skills at their feet, which means that the Spanish midfielder has a strong ability to control the ball. But we are the England team. Unlike Spain, our characteristic is long passes. After all, each of our midfielders has a good long pass skill. At the same time, you have to remember that the four midfielders in Spain really cannot compare with us, but the opponent's body and height are simply not comparable to our English players. I believe everyone understands how to do it."

Listening to Keegan's words, George was depressed for a while. You have said it so clearly, what else do you need to ask.This is not to tell the English players clearly that the opponent's skills are better than ours, it doesn't matter, we are physically strong, so we will hit him.

Keegan didn't know what George was thinking and just started talking.

"Spain's two forwards, I think if I'm not wrong, then they are Raul and Morientes. These two guys are dangerous, I don't care about anything else, in short, your defenders must put these two guys for me. Especially Morientes' header, of course, and Raul, don't look at him as if he is on a trip. Slowly, when Raul explodes, our big trouble will come."

"Don't worry, coach, I promise to make Raul and Morientes disappear on the court." As England's defense general, Campbell is naturally obliged to stand up and promise.

At the same time, Ferdinand, the defensive core of the Leeds team, also nodded his head with a serious face, as if expressing to Keegan that he would not make it easy for his opponent, and would definitely form England's strongest defense line with Campbell.

In fact, Ferdinand can't belittle it if he wants to. After all, whether it is Morientes or Raul, which one is not another killer in the world, if Ferdinand dares to underestimate them, it will be strange if they don't get blown up by them.

Although Keegan is not clear about Spain's starting list, judging from Spain's current period of time, Keegan can also say with certainty that as long as the opponent's players are not injured, then Spain's starting list is what he just said.

At the same time, not only did Keegan know the list of starting players for Spain, but at the same time, in the locker room on the other side, a group of Spanish players also told the head coach that they had to know the list of starting players for England.

"Everyone in front of the TV, good evening. This is Liverpool's Anfield Stadium. In a few minutes, there will be a match between England and Spain. Fans at the scene, let us use our warm cheers to cheer for our great England."

(China likes to call the United Kingdom the United Kingdom, but the British will only call themselves Englishmen. After all, the domestic situation in the United Kingdom is too complicated. The names of England, Scotland, etc. make the lunatics not know what is going on.)

Following the on-site commentator's words, the Anfield Stadium, which had been filled with fans for a long time, erupted into a burst of cheers. The period before the start of the game has always been the performance time of the fans.

But the performance of the fans did not last long. Under the leadership of several referees, the captains of both sides, Beckham and Raul, each brought their own players to the field.When the players of the two teams appeared in the eyes of the fans from the player tunnel, the stadium cheered again.

Although he knew from the beginning that as a rookie, it would be difficult to get a chance to start in the first game, but when this happened, George sat on the bench with a depressed face, watching Shearer and Irving on the field, envious.
