Dominate the midfield

Chapter 588 Chapter 588: The unsolved case that no one knows about!

Before the game, the American media tried their best to please the England team, praising that England is on the right track, and saying that they will surely achieve good results.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what the purpose of the Americans is. In addition to thanking the English for making the Algerians lose hope of advancing, they also hope that the English will not release water in the final round.

The Algerians, who have lost hope of qualifying, will probably not fight the US team in the last game, so there is great hope for the US to win.

Dempsey, who had a quarrel with Wang Rui in the game, even praised Wang Rui in an interview with the media: "Whether it is the past season or the two group games that have ended, people in Wangdu have seen the great value in him.

With five goals in two games, Wang will be the top scorer of this World Cup by the end of the group stage, and he will shock the world! "

Someone analyzed Dempsey's remarks, hoping that Capello would let Wang Rui play in the last game, or at least hope that Wang Rui could come off the bench.

The British Sun newspaper broke the news before the game. The US Secretary of State Hillary had a phone call with the new British Prime Minister Cameron. The content of the phone call was not a national event, but the World Cup!
Hillary hopes that Cameron will use his influence to allow Capello to send the main players to face Slovenia in the final round of the group stage.

As soon as this report came out, the Slovenian media aroused strong backlash. They accused Hillary one after another, "The Americans are demonstrating her powerful diplomatic skills again, but this time it is despicable!"

The English are very happy. Before the war between Britain and the United States, the American media criticized the England team. Time has passed, and the US Secretary of State even spoke to Cameron, asking the England team to help the US team.

Cameron immediately stood up to refute the rumors: "Hillary and I did have a phone call, but we were talking about the situation in the Middle East and discussing the next steps of the two countries in the Middle East. We didn't talk about football at all."

"In addition, the conversation between me and Hillary is classified. How could the media know about it? Do you think the British security agencies are inactive? Do you think the British media has so much power?"

"I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the England team, congratulate them for qualifying early in the group stage, and congratulate them for playing two excellent games. I am sure they will bring us more pride!"

The instigator, The Sun, did not explain this, and they would not be so foolish as to offend Cameron, who had just come to power.

Another protagonist of the incident, Hillary Clinton, refuted the report of The Sun in an interview with the American media: "I can't call Cameron for this matter, because I believe that the American team will rely on their own ability to qualify." , and I also believe in the sportsmanship of the England team."

This incident has become an unsolved case in football. After many years, it is still unsolved.

Due to this report by the Sun, Capello has been under a certain amount of pressure.The so-called sports have nothing to do with politics is actually a lie. Why is the Spanish Derby so popular, and why are there so many topics about the England-Arabia game?

In addition, sponsors also put pressure on the Italians in various ways.The sponsors headed by Nike did not directly approach Capello, but found the chairman of the FA, Triesman. They only had one request, and they hoped that Wang Rui would appear in the last game of the group.

If you can't start, give him at least half the game.

Wang Rui's first two games were amazing. Nike has increased its investment in advertising, and they want to use Wang Rui to further expand their influence.

These sponsoring companies have a strong background, and Triesman could not be negligent. After careful consideration, he came to the hotel where the England team stayed and had an in-depth exchange with Capello.

After Triesman left, Capello's face was full of helplessness. As a veteran, he had never seen anything.

Hey……

Even if I can't offend you, I can always make arrangements in my own way...

Damn it, do you know that the Brazilian team in 98 was ruined by your sponsors!

……

At 23 pm on the [-]rd, the final round of Group C started.

The United States take on Algeria at the Loftos Stadium in Pretoria, while England take on Slovenia at the Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

At the Loftos Stadium in Pretoria, the sure-fire US team stormed the Algerians at the start of the game, and they not only wanted to win this game, but to win it big.

In the 17th minute of the first half, the United States launched an attack from the left. Altidore made a cross from the wing. Dempsey succeeded in grabbing a spot in front of the goal. The football passed under the armpit of the Algerian goalkeeper!

One to zero!

After leading by one goal, the American team became more aggressive, and they wanted to expand the score!

In the 309th minute of the first half, the US team took a corner kick. Donovan sent the football into the penalty area of ​​Algeria. There was chaos in the penalty area. American midfielder Edu took advantage of the chaos and shot the football into the net!

Two to zero!
ESPN said excitedly: "Two to zero, the US team has done their job!"

The implication is to see the England team.

The Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, the game between England and Slovenia was extremely dull.Capello's starting lineup changed eight people, and Oakes was able to start. Except for Terry, Ashley Cole and midfielder Kenting on the defensive line, all other positions were rotated.

Wang Rui, Peter, Gillard, Upson, and James entered the five-man bench, and Rooney returned to the starting lineup.

After the game started, Manchester United's top card worked very hard, and he was always looking for opportunities to score.Throughout the first half, Rooney had six shots, while England had only ten shots, and he alone accounted for 60.00%.

However, under the tight defense of Slovenia, and he was too eager to score, he missed the goal again and again.

At the end of the first half, England and Slovenia drew [-]-[-].

ESPN said at the halftime summary: "The United States has no problem winning this game, but if they want to qualify, they must look at England's face. If the US team ends the game with the current score, England will score [-]-[-]. Only by beating Slovenia can the United States catch up with Slovenia on goal difference."

To be honest, this feeling of pinning hope on others is uncomfortable, but there is no way.

Slovenian national TV said: "Slovenia should play more proactively in the second half, trying to break through the England goal, so as to hold the initiative of qualifying tightly in their own hands. Who knows who Capello will send in the second half."

Sky TV commentator Kent said proudly: "It feels so good to control the fate of others. We can watch the game leisurely and calculate how others can qualify."

After a 15-minute break, the second half of the two games started almost at the same time. Wang Rui was still sitting on the bench, and Capello completely ignored the requests of sponsors such as Nike.

Although Rooney is still very active, England's offense has not improved. Slovenia took advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the England team.

For a while, the Slovenians were running all over the field, and the England team was firmly pressed by the opponent in the half.

Perhaps due to the influence of another game, after the start of the second half, although the United States attacked fiercely, it lost its due calmness.England failed to beat Slovenia, and even if the US team won [-]-[-], they would not be able to qualify.

If so, Slovenia will join hands with England to qualify.
