I'm Beckenbauer

Chapter 202 196. The final at the door of the British

England will enter the European Cup final to many people surprised, but it is also a reasonable thing.

A group of stars such as Jesse Lingard, Sterling, Kyle Walker, Harry Kane, Harry Maguire, etc., are almost all under 30 years old. .

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is the oldest player in England, although he also participated in the European Cup.

This European Cup is basically full of mature men at their peak plus some young talents, such as Manchester City's Phil Foden, West Ham's Declan Rice, and even the 25-year-old Grealish is considered an older player .

Although these players basically play in the Premier League, only a few of them, such as Sancho, play in Dortmund, but their strength is really nothing to say.

There is no doubt that this is the strongest era for the England national team.

Even the criticized Sterling, his extraordinary ability is quite good, but his shooting skills are getting better and better.

7 month 11 day.

Wembley Stadium in London, which is the home of the England national team.

It was planned to hold the semi-finals and finals in London, on the one hand because London is the economic center and fashion capital of Europe, on the other hand, I never thought that England would enter the finals.

Everyone thought that the No.4 European Cup two years ago was already the limit of this group of English players.

How should I put it, England has never lacked capable players, but it is difficult for their team to exert sufficient strength.

Wasn't England strong under Beckham's captaincy?
Very strong!

But they just can't show their strength. With England's urine, the last World Cup seemed more like an accident. It is their normal performance to be eliminated in the top 16 or top 8 of the competition.

Except for England's own people, almost no one thinks that England can reach the final.

Of course, now that they have entered the final, they have begun to imagine winning the European Cup. Stretford, who scored 4 goals, is a popular candidate for the knighthood.

If he can really win the championship with England, maybe he will have the same title as the former Manchester United coach Ferguson.

--------

After all, Wembley Stadium is England's home court, and the fanaticism of the opponent's fans can be felt from the beginning of the warm-up.

However, the German team is relatively calm. In the Bundesliga, there are a few players who have not been to Dortmund or Schalke 04 at home. The fanaticism of the two stadiums is even greater than that of England.

German Sky TV not only invited Matthaus as a guest today, but also invited Luca's grandfather Franz Beckenbauer, and also hoped that Franz, the world champion, would bring good luck to the German team.

"Today's starters from both sides are almost the most expensive starters in the world. Even young players have top salaries."

"It's true. When I was playing football, it was hard to imagine that Sane could earn 1800 million euros at such a young age, let alone Luca Beckenbauer's salary." Mateus said.

"Luka is the best player in Europe after all, and Mbappe's salary in Paris is higher than him." The commentary said with help, and there was no way for Franz to say this.

Franz didn't care either, and agreed with Matthaus: "Nowadays young people can get big contracts immediately after playing a good year, and buy sports cars and big houses. This is indeed a problem. The times are advancing too fast. Football is getting richer and richer."

"Ahem," the commentator of Sky TV coughed twice and said, "Let's take a look at the starting lineup of both sides."

"England: goalkeeper Pickford, defenders Kyle Walker, Dier, Maguire, midfielders Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Rice, Trippier, forwards Sterling, Lewin, Stretchford. The attack power of the 343 is very strong, England's wide players are very fast, and the German team must pay attention."

"Germany: Goalkeeper Neuer, defenders Rudiger, Ginter, Sule; midfielders Kronstermann, Kimissi, Goretzka, Luca Beckenbauer, Halstenberg, forwards Gnabry, Werner, Loew gave up Haverts today, and using Luca Beckenbauer as the attacking midfielder is a change. This set of 352 is similar to England's 343, and now 3 defenders are more popular."

Franz said: "Because Leipzig's two wingers, Kronstermann and Halstenberg, played steadily, and they were both substitutes with sufficient physical fitness before, they can dominate a wing by themselves in the final. Instead, Gnabry and Werner have to move in the middle. Of course, they can still play when they need to pull the side. The formation of the three defenders has always been more flexible. As for Luka being placed in the front midfielder, I think Loew wants to use it. Luca restricts Henderson and Rice, Luca's defensive ability is very strong, and it will be more difficult to restrict England's midfielders."

Matthaus also agreed with the words of the old "emperor": "Liverpool captain Henderson's physical fitness is a problem, but his performance is indeed good enough. Now he is a core player for England. It is very smart to use Luka to limit him. practice."

At 7:[-] p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game on time.

England, which kicked off first, also kicked back to organize the midfield. Luca has been observing England's pass.

Although he was arranged to target Henderson today, England still has a core of Sterling.Don't look at Sterling's shooting is very eye-catching, all kinds of single-handedly can't score, but his breakthrough ability is very powerful, and his organization is also very good. He is not so much a winger, but now he is more like a midfielder.

Break through the very sharp front waist.

The absolute core of the England national team and Manchester City!

The opponent passed a few kicks, and sure enough, he started looking for Sterling.

Sterling dribbled the ball and began to break through. Gnabry's symbolic defense didn't stop the opponent for a second before being passed. Sterling's foot frequency was very fast. In this case, Luca rushed directly from the middle with a sliding tackle .

The opponent avoids his feet and jumps over his legs, but the ball is kept by Luka.

"Luka Beckenbauer!!!"

Luka didn't get up and fell on the sidelines and passed the ball forward with his legs. Gnabry caught the ball and started running.

Luca has been practicing this skill recently, and it takes time to get up, but he can't pass the ball with his legs in many cases. After all, no one uses his legs to give a long-distance pass when he is down. This skill is only available to his teammates. Useful when around.

Gnabry made a rare mistake and was intercepted by Rice. Henderson quickly played a high-quality long pass. After receiving the ball, Sterling went into the German team's penalty area.

There was a burst of cheers at Wembley Stadium, and the Germans felt like they were suffocating.

But 1 second later, the emotions of the two sides reversed. Sterling, who broke through the penalty area on the right, kicked the ball directly into the stands.

"Hahaha, Sterling, Sterling, he is really surprising. As a supporter of the German team, I feel that Sterling is outrageous. Maybe it would be better for him to pass the ball to his teammates."
