Strong Waist

"Hey! Billy! Over here!"

In the square of Samara Arena, Meadows, wearing an England jersey, waved to the Billy family.

Fat Billy came over with his son Kevin and his wife Elena.

All four are wearing England jerseys, and all are wearing Wilshere's No. 7 jersey.

Billy held two glasses of beer in his hand, handed one to Meadows, and then took a swig himself.

"Huh~~~" Billy said with an excited look; "The game is about to begin!"

For Arsenal fans such as Meadows and Billy, they automatically become England fans during the World Cup, but they still have great expectations for this game.

After all, the Chinese team has Lucai, the captain of the Arsenal club.

Although Meadows and Billy both love Lucky, they still support the England national team.

The four of them walked to the entrance area together and talked while doing so.

"Kai is in great shape lately."

Billy said.

Meadows smiled: "His condition has always been guaranteed, and we have never seen him in poor condition."

Kevin said with regret: "It would be great if Kai was the British. Our midfielder is definitely the strongest."

Meadows and Billy laughed it off. They knew very well that Lucky would not choose the England team.

Following the flow of people, he walked into the stadium and soon reached the stands.

As a celebrity among football fans, Meadows knows many people.

Saying hello almost every step of the way.

"Hello, Torrea."

"good afternoon!"

"Hey! I didn't see you yesterday. Did you not buy a ticket?"

"Sorry, I didn't recognize you. You look younger."

Saying hello all the way, the four of them came to the seat together.

This is a seat near the front row, and since it is a joint vote, there are many Arsenal fans gathered here.

However, there are also many fans of other clubs in this group.

Of course, at this moment, they are all England fans.

Soon, the cheers in the stadium became louder.

Billy, Meadows and others also cheered in the crowd, and from time to time they also played some human wave games, etc.

Not long after, the players from both sides took to the field.

The Chinese team still wears a red jersey.

England wears white shirts.

Lucky was the first to come out. He received cheers from all the Chinese fans, but some English fans also booed.

Meadows couldn't stand this.

"Hey! Give Kai some basic respect, you disgusting things!"

Based on his love for Lucky, he will not boo Lucky.

It's the same even if Lucky is his opponent.

But he couldn't guarantee that others wouldn't boo Lucky.

Although Meadows protested, few people noticed and his impact was limited.

Elena looked at the increasingly mature Lucai and couldn't help but sigh; "This kid has really grown up. When he first came to London, he was still a young boy."

Billy said proudly; "He is a man! He is an Arsenal warrior!"

Kevin nodded quickly: "That's right! Kai can do anything."

For Arsenal fans, their love for Lucky comes from the heart.

As a key figure in helping Kevin get out of school bullying, Kevin's admiration for Lucai cannot be expressed in words.

Even Kevin started practicing football, in large part because of Lucky.

However, Kevin's talent was not enough to support him becoming a professional player. Therefore, after about a year of training, Billy and Kevin gave up this path.

At the same time, in the stadium, players from both sides were warming up.

Lucky turned to look at the other half, seeing many familiar faces.

There are teammates and opponents in the league.

Lucky is very familiar with players like Harry Kane, Sterling, Kyle Walker, and Wilshere.

In addition, there are also some new people joining.

Most of them cannot be named by Lucky, but they can be selected for the national team, which also shows from the side that these young people are very capable.

When Lucky was paying attention to the opponent, so were the England players.

Wilshere looked in the direction of the Chinese team, and his eyes met with Lucky's.

The two of them nodded quietly and said hello.

After all, they are competition opponents, and they cannot have too close contact, no matter how good their relationship is.

Throughout the warm-up session, both sides performed in an orderly manner.

An active warm-up can help them get more involved in the game.

After the warm-up session, the players from both sides returned to the locker room and made final preparations.

The commentators also began to introduce their own games.

"Welcome to the 2018 quarter-finals, China VS England!"

"After a long World Cup, the Chinese team miraculously reached the top eight of the World Cup. It can be said that this is a strange and challenging event for the Chinese team!"

"The intensity of our opponents has also increased a lot. England's performance in this World Cup is obvious to all. England's tough tactics of passing and controlling have made many World Cup teams once again see England's high-altitude bombing. In addition to these, they also have strong defense on the wing and Penetration of the ribs also becomes extremely dangerous.”

"It can be said that England no longer plays the traditional rigid long pass game. Basically, they have more cumbersome and changeable tactical combinations, which will also bring great challenges to the Chinese team. "

After He Wei finished speaking, Zhang Lu on the side said:

"In this game, the Chinese team needs to face many problems. The first key point is England's high-altitude bombing!"

"From previous games, it is not difficult to see that aerial combat has always been one of England's main tactical systems."

"Harry Kane, Maguire, Stones, these are all good headers. England are very good at using these high-altitude tactics to open up the situation in advance!"

"For this reason, at the beginning of the game, if we deal with England's cross, this has become one of the problems that the Chinese team needs to solve most."

He Wei continued; "Yes, in addition, players such as Sterling, Ali, Wilshere, Ashley Young, Trippier and others have extraordinary ball control abilities. The midfield line formed by them It will also cause great trouble for the Chinese team.”

"In this game, Henderson became the single defensive midfielder, while England adopted a three-back position. This was to maximize the offensive pressure and also further increase the defensive pressure on the Chinese team."

"On the other hand, the Chinese team is in a 4-4-2 position."

"There are four defenders, four midfielders, and Lucky is in the middle. This clearly means that he wants to play as a deep-lying organization. On the one hand, he can participate in defense, and on the other hand, he can also provide organization in the backcourt, so that he will not be in trouble in his own side. There was turmoil at halftime.”

"The overall posture is defensive. Facing England, the Chinese team does have a lot of shortcomings in the lineup. These also put the Chinese team in an extremely passive situation."

During the commentator's introduction, players from both sides had already walked out of the locker room.

Lucky still wears the captain's armband and stands at the front.

For England, Harry Kane wears the captain's armband.

The Chinese team arrived at the player tunnel first, while England arrived belatedly.

After Harry Kane came to his position and stood still, he stretched out his hand towards Lucai, and the two shook hands briefly.

These two are also old rivals.

One is Arsenal's captain and the other is Tottenham's top scorer.

In their corresponding positions in the Premier League, both of them are among the best players, and their reputations are equally matched.

For this reason, the camera focuses more on the two of them.

In addition, there are the players from last season's Champions League champion Liverpool.

Henderson and Chen Man

In the footage, the expressions of the players on both sides were quite serious.

Even Sterling, who was happy, looked solemn at this time.

Sterling's performance in this World Cup is extremely impressive, and he can even be called England's thigh.

Sterling's many forward penetrations and dribblings helped England advance at critical moments and score goals.

With this performance, Sterling also received widespread attention from the media.

But the real test comes.

When it comes to Lucky and Sterling, there are too many stories to tell.

Lucky is even called Sterling's dream monster. Sterling, who is happy with football, just can't be happy in front of Lucky.

For this reason, whether Sterling, who is in excellent form, can break Lucky's restrictions on himself in this game is also the key focus of everyone.
