[Football] Anti-system

As the birthplace of modern football, England has always been the center of world football.

But the extremely proud Briton has only won the world championship trophy once in the World Cup.That was still 1966.

In the European Cup, England's best result was only the third place in 1968. In 40 years, this superstar-studded England "pseudo-strong team" failed to even enter the top four.And now, they have a team like a dream, a dream that has never been realized for decades, as if there is hope again this summer.

The England team, which has successfully advanced through the last few games and can play in the European Cup, is unsurprisingly ridiculed as a "European second-rate team".In groups such as Croatia, Russia, Israel, Estonia, and Andorra, Kankan stomped on his tail and abruptly squeezed into the top 2, still lagging behind Croatia by a full 5 points.

Who is on the England team?

Rooney, Scorpius, Owen, Lampard, Gerrard, Terry, Ferdinand... It can be called an absolutely fantastic team.Each of them has won countless trophies.

And what about Croatia?

Forget it, it's all McLaren-era mess anyway.

Now they are like a boat full of dreams and hopes, setting sail again.

At least in the last three games, the FA has not been so stretched, broke up with McLaren decisively, and quickly recruited Mourinho to take over.

Although Mourinho is not a local coach in England, it still makes people mind, but as long as he can lead the team to win games, who cares about those stubborn traditions?

The current Three Lions coach Mourinho gave his 23-man roster after some investigation.

The goalkeeper had no choice but to make do with Robinson, Foster and Joe Hart. Terry and Ferdinand were the first choice for the defender.The old generals Ashley Cole and Bridge will naturally not let go, Neville and Brown also put on the field, and finally a Carragher and Upson were added.

Midfielder Shuangde has entered the big list, as well as David Beckham who thought he was out of the big list, followed by Joe Cole, Carrick and Barry, Neville Jr., and Hargreaves.

The last thing to choose is the striker.

Mourinho wrote Scorpius Westin's name almost without thinking about it with his eyes closed, followed by Rooney.Then he hesitated a little, and still chose Alan and Owen.

Now England fans are paying close attention to this team which ranks first in the current world football arena. The total value of the players in this team has reached a staggering 4 million euros.

What was even more astonishing was what the media subsequently reported: "Inheritance and Destiny: Westin and Beckham Swapping Jerseys" Now the one holding the legendary No. 7 jersey with red letters on a white background has become Scorpius Westin.

People questioned that his age could not carry the heavy responsibility. After all, it was the No. 7 jersey, and Scorpius was only 20 years old this year.

Some people still question whether he has the qualifications to pick up No. 7.

The vigorous Portuguese responded by appointing Scorpius Westin as the vice-captain of the England national team.

England fans were blown away.

Although Scorpius Westin is indeed their heart, but he is only 20 years old! The 20-year-old vice-captain?

Many media have pointed out the problem: Scorpius rarely plays the role of leader in the team. He is only responsible for scoring goals, not commanding. Scorpius is not qualified for such a position.

Even in the media poll a few days ago, Scorpius won the most attractive man in England with 60% of the votes, 52% more votes than Beckham.Became people's favorite player this year.

He performed well this season, not only won the Premier League trophy and the European Champions Cup trophy, but also won the Premier League Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot. Cristiano Ronaldo's achievements in the Champions League The ball is only one less than him.Manchester United's performance this year can be said to make the world football tremble.

But this is not the credit of Scorpius Westin alone, nor can it prove that Scorpius is eligible to serve as the vice-captain of the national team.

However, Mourinho naturally has his own considerations in making such a choice.

The superstar-studded England team has been dropping in the FIFA world rankings every year. The main reason is that the FA does nothing and always adheres to the principle of choosing local coaches. Compared with the famous coaches of other national teams, the coaches of England nationality are really inferior. It's more than 01:30.

Second, there are two very serious problems within England: the media.

The notorious English media is very good at digging up lace news and various negative news about the team: Before the 2002 World Cup, the media hyped the scandal of Eriksson and Erika.

Before the 2004 European Cup, the media hyped Eriksson's scandal with Chelsea.

Before the 2006 World Cup, the "Emirates Gate" incident was also exposed. These incidents undoubtedly affected the team's preparations and the mentality of the players and coaches.

The reason is the contradictions within the players.

The United Kingdom is a big football country. The status of players is often higher than that of actors. Football has greatly promoted the development of England's economy. The value and salary of British players have always been among the top in the world.

As a player, money and fame are naturally a hurdle that cannot be crossed.

The salary of the national team is not as good as that of the club, but it can bring great fame and honor to the players, thus prolonging their professional life longer and becoming beloved heroes.

How to increase your reputation faster?

Goal.

Many players in the England team can no longer be called players. They are stars and they must find ways to maintain their popularity with excellent performances.Even though many people are usually good brothers, there will be a lot of scrambling behind the scenes, especially on the court, where more possessions means more opportunities.

So sticky balls have become commonplace.

The reason why Mourinho chose Skorpi as the vice-captain was that English football was in short supply, and it was simply impossible to find young players to replace these stars.He has no way to rectify the atmosphere in the team by choosing young players, and because of the atmosphere of worshiping stars in England, he puts a certain meritorious player on the bench to make an example.All that can be done is to choose people who can control them.

Scorpius is a very good candidate.

He is young, and giving him No. 7 is enough to prove to the players in the team that Mourinho doesn't care about their fame or experience. In this team, as long as you are strong, you can have more opportunities.

And almost all the players in the big list he gave are from Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Except for the three goalkeepers, almost most of them have cooperation with Scorpius in the club team, and the Northern Irish teenager has a very good relationship with them.

Terry, Lampard, Ferdinand, Beckham, Ouchi, Rooney, these few have a particularly good relationship with Scorpius, almost including the big names in the entire dressing room.He believes that Scorpius has the ability to mediate when conflicts arise between players.

And prestige... A player's performance is naturally the best prestige he can give.

Although Scorpius is young, he does not lack the spirit of leadership. He does not urge the team to fulfill its responsibilities by yelling like some captains.Scorpius is more about leading by example, and Ferguson especially likes him. Even if there is only one minute left in the game, he will not give up the counterattack.

Especially Mourinho has seen that Scorpius has undergone a radical change this season.He is more suitable to be called the soul of the team and become the spirit of the team.

The No. 7 jersey and the title of vice-captain are indeed a great pressure for Scorpius.

But he didn't refuse or hesitate. Scorpius also knew that in the national team, he really had to be the leader.

"...you took me by the hand and brought me to your side, and made me sit on a high seat in front of the crowd until I became so frightened that I didn't dare to move and move about as I wanted, thinking about many things with every step I took , for fear of stepping on the thorns of their indifference.

I am free at last!

The blow has come, the drum of humiliation has sounded, and my seat is thrown in the dust.

My path unfolds before me.

My wings are full of longing for the blue sky.

I'm going to join the midnight pop, rushing headlong into the deep shadows. "

Now he is like a young eagle that has shed its old feathers, eager to try on the cliff.

He can and wants to claim the crowning glory for himself, to be himself, to be the best version of himself.

The team badge on the team uniform symbolizes victory and courage, and his eyes are full of desire for victory, just like this team.

The 2008 European Cup, finally sounded the prelude.

The competition is jointly hosted by Austria and Switzerland, as the host of the European Cup.According to the lottery rules, the 16 teams are divided into 4 pots. The two hosts Austria, Switzerland, Greece, and the Netherlands will become the seeded teams together. The rest of the teams will be divided into pots according to UEFA rankings.

These 4 teams are divided into 4 groups in turn according to the principle of mutual avoidance of the 4 seeded teams.

According to England's historical record, England should belong to the second tier (Croatia (2.409), the World Cup champion Italy (2.364) and the Czech Republic (2.333), which defeated England twice in the group stage)

The grouping of the draw was clearly very poor.

The four teams in Group D are Greece, England, Spain and France.

Greece is the champion of the last European Cup, Spain is strong, and the strength of the Gallic Rooster is naturally beyond doubt. It is simply a "death group".

The author has something to say: Mermaids can’t write with inner taste... I’d better write the European Cup honestly... The quotes are still from Tagore’s collection of poems w
