Arthur's Football

On June 6, Capello led them to South Africa and came to the Royal Bafokeng Sports Campus in Rustenburg to prepare for the game.

For a team preparing for the World Cup, the training base chosen by the FA is luxurious and has beautiful scenery. Arthur likes it very much, which also makes his impression of South Africa after the South African Confederations Cup in the summer. I took a few photos and sent them to my family.

After adapting to the field here, Arthur also got in touch with his teammates tacitly, so he felt that there was a problem to be solved, so he went to Capello's small black room for the first time after this training camp.

Capello is of course friendly to Arthur, maybe he wants to be as friendly as possible, because even a head coach like him, who is disliked by countless star players, feels that Arthur can't be better, this is his The most worry-free disciple is also his favorite type of disciple.

What type does Capello specifically like?Look at Redondo, he is typical.

And now Arthur too.

He likes those who are smart, capable, and obedient without causing trouble.

"Is there any problem?" Capello asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Arthur nodded honestly, then looked at him expectantly, "Fabio, I want to add a penalty kick practice session."

penalty...

After the word popped out of Arthur's mouth, what else did the Italians not understand?Penalties are the lingering nightmare of England players!

Arthur in front of him is very stable. Ferguson gave Arthur almost all the set kicks this season, but the problem is that other people...

Capello admitted that this is indeed a good question.

"Besides, practicing penalty kicks can also train goalkeepers. I think it should be helpful to our goalkeepers." Arthur really didn't want to say that he was not satisfied with each of the three goalkeepers in Daying. I've been on my own sleeve...

It was a nightmare of nightmares, and he didn't want that to happen.

Capello knows his own family affairs. He once put 30 defenders in the 10-man roster. The whole world knows what he wants to do!It is because of the worry about the goalkeeper, whether it is Green, Hart or James!

Capello agreed without thinking. Does this still require thinking?It's really a penalty shootout, just these three?Or exercise in advance.

Arthur then hurried out of the little dark room.

He looked at the South African sky.

In less than a week, the World Cup will start, and their first match will be on June 6.

He is bound to lead England to win all three games and qualify as the top of the group!

Capello did what he said, since there are still a few days left, let's cooperate and practice penalty kicks.

No one knows why Capello practiced penalty kicks in advance, but everyone thought about the past and shut up and practiced honestly.

Three goalkeepers must be hard work, Arthur thought about that dream, and simply put his sleeves on himself.

The people of Manchester United know it well, and everyone has seen the team practice of Manchester United before, but it is one thing to see it, and now I am facing the gate guarded by Arthur...

Gerald went first.

With a wrinkled smile on his face, he walked to the goal guarded by Arthur, stood twelve yards in front of the goal, watched Arthur with his hands on his hips and said, "Chicken, are you ready?"

Arthur also looked at him with his hands on his hips, "Steven, don't cry when I throw you out, I believe you can do it."

There were strange laughter and whistles in the field, and even Capello laughed, and he took the time to watch this farce with the coaching staff.

Gerrard also ignored those booing, he ran up immediately without saying hello, and then volleyed vigorously!He aimed at the lower left corner this time, not looking for the angle but only the speed!

Arthur waited for him to shoot before making the save, instead of making the save after predicting, but who made him react quickly?

After watching Arthur, who was obviously slow in saving the save, simply block the ball with his feet, Gerrard was in a bad mood!

The fat man patted Gerald sympathetically, "Steven, you have to know that God is so unfair, we should get used to it, or endure it."

Gerrard gave him a speechless look, and Lampard walked over to them silently, obviously unbelieving and about to go!

Arthur, in his glove, tossed the ball to him and went on to make a save.

He is not a professional, and his saving moves are very substandard. He didn't lower his body's center of gravity when he watched the opponent prepare to shoot. Read out the "calm and calm" demeanor.

Lampard didn't talk nonsense, he shot directly!

He deliberately paused while shooting to try to trick Arthur, but this was of no use. This time Arthur decisively dragged the ball off the crossbar with a punch.

Capello's eyes lit up, and those who were applauding had lost their voices.

If I change myself, can I break through Arthur head-on?

The eyes of the three England goalkeepers looking at Arthur were a bit wrong. Although they knew that Capello could not put Arthur in the goalkeeper position, would they still have something to eat if this little chick went to guard the goal?Are they going to compete for the second gate?

Terry walked up to Arthur in disbelief, and unfortunately became the third heroic warrior.

After Terry, Milner mustered up the courage to challenge after seeing the weird smiles and the annoying little gloating eyes of the Manchester United group, and it turned out that Arthur's four consecutive pounces were fulfilled.

After Arthur hugged the ball and got up quickly, he threw the ball to Milner again and said to him: "James, continue."

Milner was stunned. Their number one card meant that they wanted him to be a sparring partner?

Arthur looked around at everyone, especially his Manchester United teammates, staring at them fiercely and said, "You guys, obediently go to practice too!"

Everyone dispersed immediately, but Gerrard, Lampard and Terry did not walk away in disbelief, apparently intending to find their way back.

They don't believe that Arthur can pounce every time!Especially this guy belongs to let them shoot first and then judge, he can't have such a quick reaction to save the ball every time!

Capello didn't walk away either. The goalkeeper coach even started to record with his eyes glowing. He planned to correct Arthur's getting up movement. As long as he changed it a little, Arthur could get up faster. Looking at the time at [-]:[-], it is already very important!

On June 6, the World Cup in South Africa officially kicked off. At 11:14 local time, the most classic scene in the opening ceremony was staged: the dung beetle rolled the ball, "celebration".

"Celebration" is the special ball for this World Cup.

After the opening ceremony, the game between the host South Africa and Mexico officially started, and the whole England team watched the game together.

England are in Group C, while their opponents are the United States, Algeria and Slovenia.

Their first game, fifth in the group stage, will be against the United States on June 6.

It must be said that when the results of the lottery at the beginning of the year came out, the English media began to brag, such as the best luck in England's history, the first place in the group has been guaranteed, and so on.

Compared with Uruguay, Mexico, South Africa, France in Group A and Brazil, Portugal, Côte d'Ivoire and North Korea in Group G, England is indeed the top draw.

Some fans of Arthur even jokingly said that the chicken cubs are waiting for work, and the onlookers love and kill each other.

Arthur is very "dissatisfied" with the England media's advocacy, especially he is familiar with how England missed the first place in the group and was eventually eliminated by Germany 4:1, avenging the 1:4 loss to England in the previous warm-up match.

So on game day, Arthur looked over to his team-mates behind him before they warmed up at Royal Bafulken, and he walked up to Terry and whispered something to Terry.

He understands the rules in the dressing room, England's captain is John Terry, and he can't get past Terry Fabio's own opinion.

Terry clapped his hands immediately after listening, and shouted to everyone, "Come here, Arthur has something to say!"

The eyes of the photographer, who had been standing in the corner like air, lit up.

Other players in the locker room looked at Arthur one after another, and Capello was no exception.

"We all know we can win this game, but this is no reason for us to underestimate the enemy. Mr. said, let's defend steadily and attack boldly. I firmly believe that as long as we try our best, we can—"

Almost every player was scanned by Arthur with sharp eyes, especially the defense.

Although Arthur didn't explain it clearly, but thinking about England's glorious history of losing chains and anticlimaxing, who else doesn't understand what he means?

This is not to let them underestimate the enemy!

The entire locker room was silent, no one spoke.

Arthur continued to say in a voice without any pitch and rhythm changes: "If we want to win the Hercules Cup, we must have the best performance in the group stage, and we must face up to any opponent, regardless of their Whoever it is, we have to show our best form and fight until the last moment, think about it, that trophy."

world Cup!

Arthur, he said the Hercules Cup?

Although every World Cup, England is considered to be the favorite, or the big favorite, and the off-field lace of England's media and their wives will always be the best embellishment of the World Cup, but before the start of the World Cup, I have the confidence to take it. To the Hercules Cup?

That dates back to 1986, when they hosted the World Cup on their home soil, and in the end they lost to Maradona's devil's hand.

That is the pain in the hearts of all England fans!

Since winning the championship in 66, their best honor was Sir Bobby Robson leading England to the semi-finals of the World Cup in 90. In the end, they fell to the penalty spot.

After that, even though every time the English media shouted that they were the winning team, their goal was to bring the Hercules Cup back to England, but which player really regarded it as the best, thinking that they could do it Woolen cloth?

Arthur made no secret of his desire for it.

The former captain of the Three Lions, Beckham shouted at this moment, "Of course we want to bring it home! The championship belongs to England!"

Although he was upset that Beckham took his job, Terry also shouted at this moment, "The champion belongs to England!"

"Champions belong to England!!!"

Capello, who had already finished the pre-match mobilization but did not arouse any enthusiastic response, raised the corners of his mouth.

Obviously, Ferguson has developed a good captain for England.

The author has something to say:

There are two more, it will be late.

So today's game is England vs Bald Eagles.

And England is really the originator of happiness, professionally off the chain~
