The Young Lion

Just after Aldridge attended the press conference the day before the game, a little later, the second match day of the World Cup was full of smoke!

Compared with the 2:1 victory over Uruguay in the Korean division, Ireland and Cameroon shook hands 1:1 in the Japanese division. Unlike the shocking shock that broke out in South Korea the day before, the Japanese division also contributed to the world. A jaw-dropping game.

The German chariot crushed Saudi Arabia 8:0!

Millwall striker Miroslav Klose scored a hat-trick, Schneider also added the icing on the cake and scored a goal. The German team, which was not expected, made a sensation in the world with its first performance!

The opening of the World Cup not only has subversion, but also a huge shock!

However, this game cannot make the German team change the outside world, because the opponent is not strong, and the gap between Europe and Asia is really oasis and desert, sky and abyss!

No one thinks that Germany's 8-goal slaughter of Saudi Arabia is representative, because 80% of the European teams can beat Saudi Arabia. Even if they can't win by such a large score, the difference in strength is inherent.

A day later, the England team boarded a bus outside the hotel and set off for the Saitama World Cup Stadium.

From the moment of sitting on the bus, the cabin was very quiet. Every player is using his usual way to adjust his mental state to avoid excessive tension, depression, or excitement. Some people will listen to music, some will Some people will fall asleep when they close their eyes and meditate.

Outside the Saitama World Cup Stadium, England and Sweden fans are very recognizable, either in yellow and blue jerseys, or red and white jerseys, plus local and international fans who come here to watch the game, the atmosphere outside the stadium is very warm, talking about fans of stars . No one can compare to Beckham. Many fans also imitated Beckham's dry hairstyle. As for the shape of Alien's Afu head, it has also aroused heated discussions, but not many fans will imitate it.

How popular is Beckham in Japan?

When the bus came near the stadium, the large number of Japanese female fans nearby would scream in shocking decibels when they saw Beckham sitting by the window, like a wave of ripples, spread away, and eventually turned into a storm of crowds!

The bus drove into the stadium and the whole team got off. The live broadcast camera followed the whole process. Under the leadership of Aldridge, the England team was uniformly dressed. The suits and leather shoes were not lacking in handsomeness and discipline, which made people know at a glance that this was a team.

In this World Cup, in addition to the golden partners Andy Gray and Martin Taylor live commenting on the England game, they also invited a famous England star as a guest commentator: football gentleman Lineker.

The stands are already full.

Whether it's the big booing between England and Sweden, or Beckham's personal appeal, in order to see the style of football stars. Fans entered the field early and enthusiastically waved various cheering slogans in the stands. Many even directly and boldly show love.

The England team is starting to warm up, Gary, what do you think about England's future in the World Cup?

Opinion? I don't know. Hall brought England with the youngest average age in recent decades to the World Cup. He gave up Fowler, Shearer, Heskey, these experienced and powerful players in our eyes, and would rather bring The last 16-year-old kid, what the hell is he doing? What's going on in his head? Can you imagine? I can't think of it. No one can understand his intentions, but he just led the England team from the qualifiers to death. Step by step to get to the World Cup, here in front of us, did not let us just stay at home and watch the game like the Netherlands. So, I don't think any opinion is important, I support England in my heart, and then open my eyes and watch Huo Well, what heights can this legendary young coach lead England to, this is what we should do now.

Martin and I have followed your comments over the years, and it seems like you have a lot of appreciation for Hall, right?

Of course, he has injected energy into English football and brought a different quality. The Premier League has changed because of Millwall, and the England national team has also changed, from the technical and tactical style to the use of players. For example, McMahon A player like Naman who can win applause at the Bernabeu once had a difficult time in the England national team, and his performance in the competition was not satisfactory. Why? Is it McManaman’s problem, or is England’s backward tactical system limiting him? I would rather I would rather believe it is the latter, because I will not question McManaman's determination and will to fight for England. He was under Hall, and his national team career has undergone earth-shaking changes. You know, when Hall took over the national team Before, McManaman was one of the most popular players to be kicked out of the national team, but now, everyone knows that McManaman is indispensable in the England team, and Hall has activated him so that we can play in the national team. It's a wonderful sight to see McManaman in action.

Well, indeed, McManaman, Scholes, Owen, their combined offense is full of changes and imagination, Gary, as the only person in England who has won the World Cup Golden Boot, do you think the England team In the World Cup, will there be players who will hit the World Cup Golden Boot? For example, Irving.

The 1986 World Cup belonged to Maradona, but the striker in 1986 belonged to Lineker. He scored 6 of England's 7 goals and became the first World Cup Golden Boot winner in England's history. The only one so far.

Lineker pondered for a moment and said: Although Owen is very good, I think it is difficult for him to win the Golden Boot, because he is England's single striker and is the first goal of all opponents' key restrictions. He wants to win consecutively. It’s too difficult to score goals. But who knows, like yesterday, the German kid Klose scored three goals in one game? I wouldn’t be surprised if Irving could score a hat in one game, After 74 years, no player can score more than 6 goals in the World Cup, so yesterday Klose, he has scored 3 goals, which seems to be very close to the golden boot, as long as there are no major accidents for the German team , there are at least 3 games left.

The German team won a game yesterday, and the opponents in the same group are not strong. There is not much suspense about advancing to the top 16. Therefore, according to Lineker, the German team still has at least 3 games. Klose's becoming the favorite of the Golden Boot is not without purpose. Because there are two group games left. The opponent is not strong.

Wow, my God, what is Hall doing? This scene is so strange! World Cup debut, he is not in the dressing room now, how did he transfer the same thing from the Premier League to the World Cup!

Martin Taylor exclaimed.

In the Saitama World Cup Stadium, there was a slightly weird scene.

There were still 15 minutes before the start of the game. The entire Swedish team, including the coach, was still in the locker room. There were only some team doctors on the bench. Non-core team members such as team leaders.

As for the England national team's bench, from the coach to the team doctor, except Aldridge, everyone else sat on the bench.

But what about their players?

Apparently still in the locker room.

Aldridge was standing on the sidelines, with his hands in his pockets, pacing back and forth, sometimes stepping on the turf, sometimes looking around the field, I have to say. There are still many of his fans in the stands, and he can also make Japanese female fans scream.

Haha. This is our Young Marshal in England!

Lineker let out a heartfelt admiration.

Gary, don't you think he should be in the locker room now to mobilize the players?

When you say that, you underestimate the boys of the Three Lions. They know what it means to go to the World Cup and what they are fighting for. Why do you need Hall to stimulate them? It is no secret that Hall came to the stadium in advance. The reason is that the fleet Street has already disclosed that he has already done the preparation work. Before the game, he will not put pressure on the team. At this time, don't you think that his leisurely behavior can give the team more confidence and give the fans more confidence. , while putting pressure on the opponent? When the Swedish team comes out, you will see Hall standing there, as if everything is under his control, will the Swedish team have no pressure? Haha.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and so is the World Cup.

There are three games in the group stage, but the hardest is actually the first game!

The first game is the battle of Dingding to establish the situation of the group!

Many strong teams fail in the first game, and the chain reaction will be that once the other opponents win or lose, they will fall behind the two opponents by 3 points in points, and the subsequent schedule will be very difficult. Passive, because you will have no secrets to speak of and no room for tactical changes. Everyone knows that you will take the initiative to increase your offense. If you do not attack, you will be eliminated.

And if the first game is won or tied, the next second game is still elusive. Will it be a desperate fight for the second game, or wait and see, and wait for the third game to fight back to break out of the tight encirclement? The choice is yours.

This is the difference between active and passive in the overall situation.

Therefore, when Aldridge still came to the sidelines early as usual, as if he was playing a game in the Premier League or the Champions League, it worried the England commentator.

After all, Aldridge is young, and there are naturally too many people who want to find fault with him.

He has not led a team to play in international competitions and lacks experience in this area.

He is young, he is proud, will he be defiant and have not figured out what the World Cup is?

But fans who like Aldridge and support Aldridge will not think about it. In their eyes, Aldridge is fully prepared, which will give others confidence!

Aldridge did have the idea of ​​walking into the locker room, but he quickly dismissed it because he knew that if he walked in, it meant that he was nervous, and this tension would directly infect the whole team.

While pacing on the sidelines, he was trying to keep his heartbeat steady, calm, rational, and even cold, to eliminate all distracting thoughts and emotional interference.

He looked around the stands, not because he walked into a strange stadium. This is not a football temple, there is no glorious history, and there is no football heritage for him to admire and feel.

He looked around, just trying to find his family members, Arthur and Amelia, with Bert and Earl, were cheering for him somewhere in the stands.

But he lowered his head again, stopped searching meaninglessly with his eyes, and suppressed this thought, so that his mind became clear and he could not be distracted!

Embarking on the trip to the World Cup, Aldridge's external image and posture have undergone a significant change. He will not give people a relaxed sensory impression. On the contrary, he is majestic, ruthless, and full of ambition!

At this time, he raised his head, the sharpness in his eyes was clearly visible, and his chin was raised slightly like a conqueror.

In the past, he wanted to be in charge of the national team because of his greed. He wanted to make himself more visible and at the same time bring some positive influence to Millwall.

But now, his thinking has completely changed, and his desire for fame and fortune has long faded.

Come to the World Cup, just to compete with the heroes of the world, just to reach the pinnacle of the green world! (to be continued..) ()
