This night Owen went to bed a little late, because he was really worried that the little fool around him would be too excited and lose sleep.

Perhaps seeing his thoughts, the little fool mumbled and complained face to face, then hugged the pillow that was used to throw him before, and after a few minutes, he slowly fell asleep.

Owen looked at Randall's light brown hair smudged by the dim desk lamp, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then muttered "little fool", and then shut the master control of the room with a "snap".

Randall is a little fool?

Of course, Owen dared to bet with everyone - no one in the England team would refute it, and almost everyone knew that this kid was a pure idealist.

Which of these players is not a dreamer?

Who is not pursuing honor, eager to break through and reach the top?

But on the road of pursuit, not everyone can move forward firmly, they will be hurt, hesitant, hesitant, and may even deny themselves.

But looking at this silly kid who hasn't been frustrated by the dark side of football at this time, Owen will feel a little differently.

Time seems to have returned to their youth, without the flash of the media, without the temptation of money, they are just a group of pure dreamers, to realize the dream that every football teenager has had.

This night, Owen slept very deeply, very sweetly.

So much so that when he woke up from his subconscious, he saw Randall standing in front of the windowsill who had just opened the curtains and looked at him with a smile.

Owen couldn't help muttering, covered his face, and heard Randall ask him: "Why are you still dawdling? Get up like a man, we can enjoy it alone when they are not up Bath, then we can do a yoga set, I have a hunch I might get a barb in today..."

Owen put down his hands and got up as he wished, yes, without the slightest delay.

Randall hurriedly shouted when he approached him: "Don't make trouble! Today is the game day, I don't want to hurt you!"

Owen, who was half a head shorter than him, just stood still in front of him, sneered, "You think too much, I won't beat you at this time—"

He ignored Randall's look of "you can't beat me", hehe said, "Randauer, I have to remind you that we are the same age. So we can be teammates of the national team for many years."

Randall was shocked!

He was actually threatened by Owen, or did he use this "longer future" method?

But they stopped playing, Owen still followed Randall to the gym, and practiced with this "big guy" who claimed to have learned yoga for more than half a year.

This is not the first time they have done this. Since becoming a teammate of Randall, Irving has studied in this area under his persuasion and the recommendation of the team doctor.

After running to warm up, simple stretching, and doing a few sets of yoga, they returned to the room and took a shower before arriving at the restaurant.

Everyone was silent during breakfast, because some players were more concerned about whether they would start today.

In order not to leak the tactics and the starting lineup, Ferguson had practiced the two tactics in two halves before, and no one knew which one they would play today.

Not long after the meal, they headed to the Schalke Stadium.

When their bus just left the hotel, there were countless England fans cheering for them outside the hotel!And along the way, there are many England fans driving behind.

Randall continued to watch the tape on the road.

Owen glanced at the screen.

He found out yesterday that Randall was repeatedly watching the highlights of Portuguese players' goals, and clips of running positions.But he didn't understand why Ferguson asked Randall to watch this. Is it for him to be a tactical coach, or for Randall to play goalkeeper or central defender?

Owen can only guess these two possibilities, and Randall has never challenged these two positions.

When they arrived at the stadium, they were welcomed by tens of thousands of England fans.

Because the Schalke Stadium was put into use in August 01. It is one of the few five-star stadiums in Europe. This stadium can accommodate up to 8 spectators. Today, there will be 61524 lucky fans. Get in to watch the game.

The reason why this number is nearly 53993 less is that for safety reasons, the number of seats in the stadium is only [-].

But without specific statistics, just looking at so many fans lining the streets to welcome Randall, you can know that England still has the advantage among the fans who entered the stadium today.This is actually quite normal, as England has five times the population of Portugal.

Before getting out of the car, Randall returned the laptop to Eric Steele, who no longer needed it.

Because the entry time and so on are arranged in advance, the players still need to wait for a while to enter the stadium to warm up. At this time, Ferguson finally announced today's starting after they put away their things and calmed down.

"Before we trained two tactics, active offense and anti-counterattack, I hope that didn't make you faint, because this is our game tactics today." Ferguson said, "I want to announce the starting lineup now..."

Landalton pricked up his ears warily.

That's right, even Randall is worried at this time-he is worried that the old man will make him a substitute if he disagrees. This possibility is extremely great!

But he soon discovered that it was a false alarm.

The goalkeeper is still Robinson. Although Ferguson has not been at ease with him, this is Ferguson's best choice at present.

In the defense, Gary Neville, who had only recovered from injury before this game, was still favored by the old man, which made Randall glance at Gary, and the meaning in that look was obviously "Look, I guessed right again right?"

Gary Neville almost laughed when he saw him winking, but fortunately he reacted quickly and immediately gritted his teeth.

There is no doubt about the central defender. It is Ferdinand and Terry partnering. This is the best choice for England at present.

Before the game, although Ferguson released that Ferdinand might not be able to start because of a groin problem, all the England internationals understood that this was just an accident, just like the Portuguese kept saying before the game that Cristiano could not play in this game.

But Randall is very clear that Ferdinand's state has been affected.

Although he prefers Ferdinand, but in this cup, Ferdinand's performance is not as stable as Terry, Terry's repeated rescues have become the pinnacle of defense.

Randall sincerely hopes that they will play better in the game.

With the backing, the striker can attack the city to his heart's content, without worrying about the backyard catching fire...

At left-back, Ashley Cole was visibly relieved that he was eventually selected, and Randall saw Phil Neville's apparent disappointment.

In the midfield, Hargreaves, who played very well in this World Cup, was selected, and his partners were Scholes and Gerrard.

That's right, this means that Ferguson has a three-forward lineup!

The trident composed of Randall, Owen and Rooney has already pointed to Portugal!

At this moment, Scola was looking at England's starting roster. When he saw Randall, Owen and Rooney starting at the same time, he was both nervous and relieved.

The nervousness is because when seeing such three forwards, any head coach will worry that his defense line is not strong enough, not to mention that he lacks two generals.

As for breathing out...

Of course it was because he bet before the game, and he was right!

After Ferguson announced the start and reassured the starting players, he raised his wrist to check the time and found that it was not warm-up time yet, so he let them rest by themselves.

The old man walked out by himself, knowing that they would not be able to have a good rest when he was in the locker room.

So what is the old man going to do at this time?

Of course, it is to pay a visit to the fourth official and referee, and of course the Portuguese staff. It is best to shake hands with Scolari before the game, because after the game, the two of them may have to enter into a "humiliating relationship". foam" state.

The old man walked out, and Randall ate the chocolate that Rooney handed him. It is said that it was given to him by Colin yesterday and asked him to pass it on.

This made the fat man sour when he said this, Randall squinted at him, and killed him instantly with one sentence, "Want to eat? What's your body fat percentage now?"

The fat man was about to cry!

His body fat percentage this season has actually been maintained very well, but he was injured at the end of the season.

Injured at such an unlucky time, plus he has a physique that can make him fat after drinking cold water, how can he control this weight?

So even though he didn't dare to indulge himself during the injury, the body fat rate on the scale still hurt his heart deeply.

Just when the fat man was about to spray him with "it's better than you can't gain muscle at all", Gary Neville laughed loudly: "I knew that kid Ronnie wouldn't be able to play!"

Hearing this, Randall, who was still cheering for him and flattering him when he stepped on the field yesterday, said, "Captain, I love you, I really love you, but if you can't handle it, the offense is still handicapped." Give it to Steven, I think he's been working on his crosses lately."

That's right, recently Gerrard has been cramming and practicing crossing hard, and the effect is not bad!

This must be because of love!

This made Gary Neville mocked by the whole team!

The captain couldn't hold back his face, and angrily said: "How is it possible! I—"

Ferdinand interrupted him: "Don't worry, I will cover you."

Everyone laughed again.

After making fun of the captain, everyone discussed Portugal's starting lineup.

"Pauleta started, plus Ronnie and Figo, they obviously want to play 433."

"Gary, hurry up to Randall's place and gamble. If we get the ball, we'll play a blitz."

"I swear they think so too in Portugal."

"Yes, you must be careful..."

Randall strained his ears to listen to the discussion.

This is the first time since this World Cup that his teammates have discussed their opponents, which obviously shows that all the England internationals have not underestimated Portugal, the enemy.

Cough, of course, it may also be because of being abused by the old man Scolari.

Ferguson's movements were quickly heard by the Portuguese staff. Scolari called on the referee team before the game, which is something that almost every coach will do.

Scolari also walked out.

As soon as the old man left, the dressing room in Portugal was a little quiet at the moment.

Figo looked around, looked at his teammates and said to everyone: "Let's talk about the opponent in this game?"

Carvalho was the first to say: "Pay attention to Terry and Ferdinand. Ferdinand's state should not be right. Although he started, I think there is something wrong with his state."

Cristiano has a lot to say about this. After all, this is his teammate who gets along with him day and night at the club. He nodded to indicate his service.

Everyone then discussed it, and when Scolari came back, he heard everyone mention Scholes.

The Brazilian coach said at this moment: "Smart children, yes, Scholes, I have to give you a few children a task—"

Scholes looked to Petit and Thiago.

The old man said slowly: "Try to find a way to get him down!"

Is this glorious?

Of course not, Cristiano also received such special treatment in the last game. It was a chaotic game, and Figo managed to escape the suspension.

But this is the World Cup.

What Portugal wants to do is qualify.

The "nuclear cutting tactic" is not his first initiative, and there will be an endless stream of head coaches adopting this tactic in the future.

"Everyone should have heard of Scholes's character, Ronnie and him are teammates. Excite him, make him unable to calm down, try not to let him take the ball calmly, if Randall goes to assist him, then he stays. The location is the best space..."

The Portuguese players listened carefully.

Cristiano's eyes were full of determination, although when the coach mentioned Randall, he thought of the text message from Randall he received this morning.

What did that kid say?

Don't cry after losing?

He will return this verbatim after the game!
