Dominate the midfield

Chapter 445 Chapter 445: The Italian team is here!
At the end of the confrontation, the substitute lineup beat the main lineup [-]-[-].Capello is both happy and worried. He is happy that these newcomers have given him a big surprise, but he is worried that the main players are too mediocre.

It is not without the fact that the national team employs a large number of newcomers, but the tacit understanding between the newcomers is insufficient and their abilities are limited, so it is too difficult to achieve good results.The World Cup will start in half a year, and the victory or defeat of every game will have an impact on morale, so he has to be cautious about using new players.

It is not all a bad thing for the main lineup to lose. It can stimulate the competitive atmosphere in the team and make the stagnant atmosphere in the team lively.

Of course, if too much reliance is placed on rookies, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the veterans. The pressure of the World Cup is huge and the field is changing rapidly. It is necessary for the veterans to play a role and stabilize the morale of the army.

This degree of control is the most test of a coach's level.

At the end of the training, Capello severely criticized the main lineup, asked them to adjust their status, praised the substitute lineup, and told them that as long as they perform well, anyone may get a ticket to South Africa.

"The standard for me to employ people is the state. Whoever is in good state, I will let him play!"

"In this team, no one is a natural main force, no one is a natural starter, and any position must go through competition!"

Capello ended his training summary with these two sentences.When Rooney had a verbal dispute with Peter in the morning, he once said these two sentences. At that time, the main players laughed it off, but at the moment they had to treat it with caution.

The state and fighting spirit shown by the substitutes today is far beyond their reach, especially the performance of the four newcomers of the Wolves. Capello's strict management of the army may really put them on the bench in the upcoming warm-up match. Put those four on the starting roster.

If these four people can still show the state they are today in the game against Italy, then they will definitely be reused by the coach. In the future...

When it comes to the World Cup stage, the main players have to secretly make up their minds to take it seriously in the next two days of training.

……

On December 28, except for the Premier League, other countries in Europe entered the winter break. Italian coach Lippi immediately called the players to gather and trained in Rome for three days.

At ten o'clock in the morning on January 50, the Italian team appeared at the London airport, and they were greeted by more than [-] reporters.As the defending champion, Italy's every move has attracted the attention of many national media.

Both England and Italy are traditional strong teams, and fans are full of interest in the collision between them.Lippi and captain Cannavaro were surrounded by reporters.

"I believe we will dedicate a great game to fans all over the world!"

Lippi pushed the mirror frame and began to compliment the England team: "England is a strong team. They are strong in the midfield and backcourt. Now there are several good young players emerging in the frontcourt. They are the favorites to win the championship."

British journalists could not help but look proud, being praised by the world champion coach made them feel at ease.

What Mr. Lippi said is the truth. Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Rooney and others are in their prime years. Coupled with the emergence of Wang and Peter, the overall strength of the England team is really strong... …

A British reporter asked with a smile: "The young players mentioned by Mr. Lippi are Wang and Peter? What do you think of them?"

With Wolves' "accidental" victory in the UEFA Cup last season, the Italian media also reported a lot on the Wolves. The Wolves had a youthful storm in the Premier League this year, and the Italian media reported more on the Wolves.

Therefore, Lippi had heard about Wang Rui and Peter.

In order to prepare for the warm-up match against England, Lippi's assistant prepared a lot of materials for him, so he knew Wang Rui and Peter better.

"When did England have such a talented player?"

After reading Wang Rui's information, Lippi asked such a question.

British football is a typical European force. They pursue the close integration of body and football, so players like Wang Rui with elegant style and delicate skills are very rare.

If he hadn't seen that Wang Rui came out of Manchester United's youth training camp, he would have suspected that he was a player with dual citizenship of Spain or France. He trained in Spain or France since he was a child, and then started his career in England.

As for Peter, since he is Wang Rui's partner and a rising star emerging from England in the past two years, Lippi also paid special attention to it.

However, Peter did not attract the attention of Lippi. The Wolves striker is a typical England striker, strong and full of impact.

Other than that, there aren't too many distinctive features.

Lippi looked at the reporter who asked the question, nodded and said, "That's right, I'm talking about the two of them."

"Wang left a deep impression on me, especially those two games against Chelsea and Manchester United. He is a talented player, with strong attacking power and a high level of passing. He is a very complete young man. player."

The British reporter, who was secretly happy just now, started to despise Lippi at this time, damn it, are you saying that the Premier League giants are too bad?
Have you forgotten how Barcelona was completely defeated by Wolves in the European Super Cup?

By the way, you must have "forgotten" this game on purpose, because in the quarter-finals of the European Cup in 08, you lost to the Spanish team!

It must be so!

In addition, what is a "very comprehensive young player"?
Wang is worse than Messi, but he doesn't have that platform. Look at the UEFA Super Cup, Wang performed much better than Messi.

Thinking of this, the favor of the British media reporters for Lippi disappeared.

The Italian coach didn't know what the British reporter was thinking, and continued: "Wang is very good. If he plays, he may cause us some trouble."

A British reporter said dissatisfiedly: "If he plays, he will definitely give you a 'surprise'!"

Lippi stared at the reporter who spoke in astonishment, not knowing what to say for a while.

The Italian reporter looked at the embarrassed Lippi and shook his head secretly in his heart: Mr. Lippi, you don't know much about English football.The influence of the king in England...you may not understand it at all.

……

On the other side, Italian captain Cannavaro is being interviewed by reporters.The former Juventus core player left Real Madrid after the Calciopoli incident, but due to his declining state, he often made low-level mistakes on the court, and his life in Real Madrid was not happy.

So this season, he returned to Juventus, but his condition is still not very good.However, he still won the attention of Lippi and continued to serve as the captain of Italy.

"Did you say Wang? Oh, I know him. Cristiano Ronaldo once talked about him, saying that he is a rare talent in England. Wolves' ability to win the Premier League half-time championship has a lot to do with his outstanding performance."

Players are different from coaches. They know more about players. Cannavaro continued: "I know Wang's appeal in England. He is a player worthy of attention and we will take him seriously."

A Spanish reporter asked: "Are you so sure he will play against you?"

Cannavaro blinked and replied in surprise: "I don't know why you said that, should a player like him be put on the bench? Isn't this a waste of money?"

These words touched the heart of the British reporter, and they laughed happily, which made the Spanish reporter look embarrassed.

Cannavaro looked at the Spanish reporter and snorted coldly in his heart, damn it, I was often criticized by you when I was in Real Madrid, and today I want to ask for some interest to come back...

"In the European Super Cup, Wang's performance was witnessed by the world. Shouldn't such a player get the chance to play?"

The Italian captain deliberately pointed out the game between Wolves and Barcelona.As a former Real Madrid player, take the opportunity to hit Barcelona...is there a problem?
