long live football

TO Don't just talk about Karl on weird topics:

Thank you for your blessings. The training of the national team makes me feel good. Although I can’t really go home, my feet on the soil of Portugal have greatly relieved my homesickness. I am in a great mood now The form is also very good. I will definitely score a goal against Finland!

The one who celebrated me enthusiastically after the match was Pepe, who is now playing for Real Madrid, you should know him?I have a good relationship with him, he always tells me about the Bernabeu, the jerseys and the dressing room, but I don't think it's a good idea to treat him to British food, he never lived in England long, probably not Would love to look up at the stars.

Also, I have read the news on the Internet, you invited the entire England team to eat Italian food, Spanish food, and French food... Then, you want to treat me to a 3.5 pound eel jelly?

No, I'm definitely not going to eat with you.

C Ronaldo with a very firm attitude

……

Ronaldo who changed the subject:

You're feigning anger, aren't you?To get around that handjob problem?

Both Rooney and Beckham have already been recruited, no matter how much you try to cover up your struggles, it will be useless.

Tell me the answer obediently.

PS: At the time this email was sent, a gift was already on the flight from London to Lisbon, and if you were really angry before, the gift will definitely turn your anger into joy.

If you don't tell me, I'll ask someone else's Carl

……

TO naively thought a gift would convince my Karl:

Tell me first how do you know about this tradition, who betrayed Wayne Rooney and Beckham?Who betrayed me again?

Ronaldo who really wants to forget that period of history

……

TO finally started to confess Ronaldo:

The process of unearthing the truth was a coincidence.On the first day of the training camp, I had a whim and wanted to have a team entry ceremony. The original intention was to let Hart, who entered the national team for the first time, perform a show in the locker room to enliven the atmosphere, singing or dancing. Like what happens in the Arsenal and Chelsea dressing rooms every year at the start of the new season.

Welbeck took the initiative to perform a rap, and everyone applauded him, but Ferdinand said: "The song Welbeck sang was exactly the same as the song he sang in the Manchester United dressing room when he was promoted to the first team last year. It was so boring. "Then said with emotion: "Manchester United in the past few years is still interesting. Every newcomer who joins the team has to type against the calendars of famous people..."

Before Ferdinand finished speaking, Beckham and Rooney rushed up to cover his mouth, but he broke free in the end. Under the instigation of everyone, Ferdinand spoke out your tradition, and then, Beckham and Rooney I also had to tell my own experience - under the supervision of teammates, new players must choose a calendar photo of a club celebrity, and then masturbate in front of the photo, and they must type it out.

Speaking of which, you buried this matter deep enough, at least I didn't hear any news during the six months in Manchester.

This incident is actually not embarrassing at all. After knowing the experience of Rooney and the others, other people did not laugh at it. Instead, they talked about the embarrassing incidents when they joined the team. Weird experience, I can tell you about it later.

So, who did you choose?I didn't ask anyone else about it, I just wanted to get an answer from you.

Karl thinking about what to get as a second gift

……

TO really wonder what you're asking about this Karl:

I knew it was Ferdinand who betrayed everyone!When I arrived at Manchester United, Beckham had already transferred and left, and Rooney hadn't come yet. Apart from Ferdinand, there is no other person who knows all the embarrassing things about the three of us!

I will take revenge on him, I will definitely take revenge on him!

It is normal that you didn't know about it during the half year in Manchester. Which player would take the initiative to reveal the secrets of the dressing room to the coach?Nobody would do that.

Even Ferguson discovered it after 05. One day after the team training was over and Ferguson left, everyone gathered in the locker room and asked Park, who had just transferred, to complete the team entry ceremony. After taking off his pants in front of Cantona's calendar, Sir Alex came back to pick up the documents he forgot in the dressing room... I will never forget the scene at that time.

What happened later was very simple. Sir Alex, whose glasses fell to the ground and shattered, lost his temper, and then ordered our tradition of welcoming newcomers to be abolished from that day on.

To make a digression, the Koreans are really small, I suspect it is only half the length of mine.

PS: Rethinking those events and realizing that someone was more unlucky than me suddenly made me feel better.Attached is a photo, I just found it with Google, this picture is the one I faced at the induction ceremony, and other people asked me to stare at it without moving...

Ronaldo is considering revealing the color of Ferdinand's underwear to the media

……

TO Ronaldo:

He is not as handsome as me. [Attached selfie] [Attached comparison chart]

After the mobile phone prompts "received new email", Ronaldo immediately clicks to read: "..."

Wembley Stadium, the holy place in the hearts of countless England fans.

It is also the place where every English player dreams of stepping from the beginning of playing football.

There are too many memories of English football here, including the best performance of the Three Lions (winning the World Cup in 1966), and the worst performance (failing to qualify for the World Cup European Cup finals).

For players from other countries, Wembley also has a special meaning - playing here means getting closer to the birthplace of modern football.

More than 89000 tickets were sold for the international friendly match between England and Spain at home. Almost all the seats at Wembley Stadium were sold out. In addition, the opponent this time is Spain, the champion team of the European Cup in 08, and the enthusiasm and expectations of the fans are even higher.

From the evening on February 2, countless fans wearing white England jerseys came to Wembley from all over England.

All the routes leading to Wembley Stadium are full. Dozens of England fans in white jerseys have to pass by on roads and subways before seeing a Spanish fan in red jerseys. The enthusiasm of the Spanish fans was not dispelled. They gathered in groups of three or four and talked and walked. The topic even talked about "How many goals can we score in England today?"

England and Spain are actually not considered to be historical football powers. Since the birth of modern football until last year, England has only won the World Cup in 1966, while Spain has only won the European Cup in 1964, but it has won the second European Cup since last year. After that, the Spanish fans are now completely shaking.

In order to avoid the heavy traffic, Karl brought the players to Wembley five hours earlier. They first had a cup of afternoon tea in the cafe beside the court, and then had two hours of pre-match tactical training.

When the Spanish team arrived at the stadium, the Three Lions players were changing different boots to see which pair would adapt to the turf here.

The baggage handlers of the national team have prepared as many as five pairs of sneakers for each player, which can perfectly cope with different conditions such as rain, snow, hail, too dry turf, too much water on the turf.

There was a drizzle in London three or four hours ago. It stands to reason that the drainage system of the stadium should have drained the rainwater, but when they were training at the Cobham base, the England players still chose a pair. Shoes with better grip.

Because Wembley Stadium has become more and more like a rotten field in the past two years.

Before the reconstruction, the turf of Wembley Stadium was particularly good, and with its own historicity, players from all over the world wanted to play here. However, during the reconstruction, the design of the new Wembley Stadium blindly pursued luxury and majestic The stands and surrounding buildings block the sunlight on the pitch, which to a considerable extent affects the natural growth of the natural turf. In addition, the FA spends too much (nearly [-] million pounds) on the construction of the pitch. The new stadium is rented out to hold various cultural activities or concerts to recover funds, so the sand layer at the bottom of the stadium is also very hard, making the drainage system not run smoothly.

The sand layer is too hard, which affects the grip of the sneakers, while the laid turf is soft and has a high water content. The reconstructed Wembley Stadium is like laying a slippery carpet on a hard wooden floor. Anyone who runs on it will have slippery feet.

So although UEFA still rated the new Wembley Stadium as a five-star stadium, many British media said sarcastically: "The current Wembley is probably the worst turf among the five-star stadiums in the world." "Luxurious bean curd dregs project".

After changing the sneakers, the English players went to the field for warm-up activities. Carl did not walk away, but stood by and told them: "You also felt it when you tried the sneakers just now. The turf at Wembley is more gelled than Beckham. Your hair should be slick, you can show off your celebrations during the game, but don’t slide on your knees, don’t blame me for not telling you if you hurt your knees!”

Beckham, who accidentally lay down on the gun, raised his hand and said, "Hey, boss, I'm not the only one who puts on hairspray today."

Carl's eyes moved from Beckham's hair to Owen's hair, and then to Wilshere, Joe Hart, Lampard, Welbeck...everything he saw was shiny.

After careful observation, I found that the players of the Three Lions not only took care of their hairstyles meticulously today, but also shaved their faces. Their chins were green and smooth, and there was not even a stubble.

As Karl's eyes shifted, the eyes of other players also moved.

Rooney shrugged with a sense of superiority: "It seems that I am the only pure man who doesn't wear hairspray."

Everyone stared at the sparse hair on the top of his head.

Feeling deep malice from these gazes, Rooney changed the subject stiffly: "Cough, uh, that, the boss is right, Wembley Stadium is indeed not suitable for too intense celebrations. When I set foot here for the first time and scored the first goal, I was so young and ignorant that I slid on my knees, and then..."

Everyone: "Then?"

Rooney said blankly: "Then my knees were wrapped in gauze for a week."

Everyone: "..."

Many people immediately remembered the photo of "Rooney and Gauze" published in the newspaper as off-court gossip several years ago, and then instantly dispelled the idea of ​​kneeling and sliding at Wembley-in case the knees It's bloody, and if people who don't know the reason see it, it will be bad if people misunderstand that they are playing some heavy-duty games in private.

After re-constructing their new celebration moves in their minds, the players of the England team recovered and found that the head coach was gone.

"Hey, where's the boss?"

Beckham curled his lips towards the Spanish team: "It's time to stage a master-student relationship."

The England team turned their heads collectively, and sure enough, they saw their coach hugging and cuddling with the Spanish team... No, they were talking and laughing.

'He also said that we have a lot of hairspray. Looking at it from such a distance, it is obvious that you, the boss, are more coquettish than anyone else. ’ The entire Three Lions team complained in their hearts.

……

"England and Spain have faced each other 21 times in history, of which England has a slight upper hand with 11 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses."

With more than ten minutes before the game, Andy Gray's voice sounded in the ears of all England fans along with the broadcast screen of Sky Sports: "Some people call this episode of the England team the 'superstars'. Curtain Ceremony', this issue of the Spanish team is called 'the generation that masters the future', because the most star-studded lineup in the history of the England team has gone through the two competitions in 06 and 08, and most of the stars have already reached the age of retirement. This national team roster under the coach of Stone may also be the last chance for Beckham, Irving and other superstars who have been shining since the end of the last century to appear on the world stage."

"The Spanish team and the England team are just the opposite. In recent years, Spanish football has ushered in a talent blowout period. The average age of the Spanish team in the 06 World Cup was 27 years old, and the average age of the Spanish team in the 08 European Cup was 26.5 years old. The coach changed from Aragones to Bosque. Bosque will be selected younger. At present, the average age of the Matador Legion is no more than 26 years old. Presumably it will still be the case in the World Cup in South Africa next year... The national team is not only getting younger, The combat effectiveness is getting higher and higher, and it is not surprising that some people call the current Spanish team the 'generation that controls the future'."

"So this game can also be seen as a match between a young man who has shown his sharpness and a veteran who has experienced years of precipitation. Interestingly, the coaches of the two teams also fit this setting. Bosque is the most respected in football. One of the coaches, and Auston is the youngest world-class coach."

After killing a lot of time with some historical data and off-court lace, Andy Gray began to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams: "The Spanish team has a classic 442 formation, with Portillo and Villa standing on the front line. , Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso and Senna guard the midfield, Ramos, Albiol, Pique and Capdevila at the back, and Casillas in goal. It's almost The Spanish team has the best lineup, and Callebosque attaches great importance to this friendly match."

"Let's look at the England team again, ha! There is Beckham in the starting lineup! This is Beckham's 108th appearance in the national team. He has tied Bobby Moore's record for the national team and has become England history. The player with the second most appearances in history! As for the first place, Peter Hilton’s record of 125 national team appearances is not so easy to tie. If Beckham wants to become the number one in England’s history, it is estimated that he will have to play at least two more times. The next major competition...about 2012? At that time, he will be 37 years old, and this task looks like it will not be completed."

Andy Gray took a deep breath: "Except for the surprise brought by Beckham, Auston's starting arrangement also gave me quite a shock."

"The starting goalkeeper is Joe Hart?! This 22-year-old teenager can be recruited into the national team. Stone still has too much confidence in Hart... and tactics, it is not the traditional 442 but 4231, Rooney acts as a single arrow, Gerrard retreats and stands with Beckham? Lampard Also on the court! The two virtues start together! How bold! Such a starting lineup, even if the media guessed it a hundred times before the game, it is impossible to guess..."

Just as Gray was expressing his surprise over and over again, the cheering song that had sounded in Wembley Stadium from 10 minutes ago stopped, and was replaced by a wave of cheering!

On the court, the game has begun!
