The Young Lion

The World Cup semi-finals are approaching, and the remaining four teams are the focus of attention, and the daily headlines cannot be separated from the content of these four teams.

It's just that on the eve of this big battle, the information conveyed by the media mouthpieces behind each team is quite subtle.

The German team locked their eyes on the referee team, and it seemed that they didn't even deliberately emphasize the victory or defeat of the finals.

The South Korean team aimed their hatred at England. Guus Hiddink also got into a fight with Aldrich. The two top coaches from Europe who had no complaints in the past fought in a foreign country. Tone, England's young coach simply didn't bother to talk to him, and the European media watching the excitement advocated that Hiddink had the ability to go back to Europe and go to the Premier League to wrestle with the young coach. The Korean media stopped bragging about the Champions League champion a year ago. The more they mention it, how can it be compared with a young coach who can't hold the Champions League trophy with both hands?

Aldrich only felt that the wind in the media was blowing more and more crooked. He never expressed any opinions on Hiddink's coaching ability, but was annoyed that the other party was holding Korean money and occupying the pits of South Korea, so he really regarded himself as a Korean. .

Aldridge is a fake foreign devil, but he has been in charge for eight years and has never said a good word about England to the outside world. He even has to become England's enemy from time to time, talking about England's dirty, outdated, and arrogant.

In the eyes of the young marshal, skin color, nationality, and race. These are all distinguishable. But football. There is no distinction between national boundaries, maybe self-comfort, self-hypnosis, it doesn't matter, this is how he lives, right is right, wrong is wrong, and some factors outside the football circle are involved to affect his personal position. Football becomes more complicated. If everyone in the world is like this, the beauty of football will become less and less.

Fleet Street didn't go to fight with South Korea anymore, they thought it was boring, the news would pass in a day or two, just focus on the match between Germany and South Korea.

There are other things to do here in Fleet Street.

The bastard who came out of nowhere released a piece of fake news that caused a sensation in the world.

English football hooligans invade the World Cup!

At this critical juncture, Fleet Street doesn't even have time to report on the expectations of England's World Cup journey by local fans. Football hooliganism is a stain on English football, and no matter what enemy uses it, it will be tried and tested.

Ghosts and monsters from all walks of life on Fleet Street visited around Japan to inquire about the news, and after interviewing officials of the Japanese judicial department at the airport. Things are calming down.

During the World Cup,

There are indeed documented cases of English football hooligans trying to come to Japan. But almost all of them were stopped at the airport and refused entry.

Brazil, which seems to be the calmest among the semi-finals, does not have any external interference. As for Inter Milan's denial that Ronaldo will get the world's top latest contract, there is no interference with the Brazilian national team at all.

It's just that the Brazilian team has always been an important force in the World Cup. It is no exaggeration to say that the Brazilian team belongs to the leading role, and their pressure comes from Brazil!

The Brazilian team is not England. As long as England participates in the World Cup, Fleet Street will advocate that they are going to compete for the championship, but in fact they fall in the top 16, top 8, and top 4, which will not bring much blow. People are used to it, and they say It's one thing to brag, but it would be false to say that a large number of people will criticize the team in every possible way if they can't win the championship.

But what about Brazil?

Four years ago, Brazil won the runner-up in France, and the whole country was shocked, and even Congress held a hearing!

Not to mention that the Brazilians talk about the Maracana tragedy year after year, oh, that was their national day, a national day defined by the failure of football.

One can imagine the near-perfect performance and state of the Brazilian team after 5 games, and how much domestic pressure they will have to win the championship!

The semi-finals kicked off, with Germany and South Korea on the first appearance, and the battle between Brazil and England a day later.

The German team finally eliminated the South Korean team with Ballack's goal. Ballack scored golden goals in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, sending the German team to the World Cup finals. Yellow card and unable to appear on the final stage, the soul of Germany's new generation of midfielders wept after returning to the locker room after the game.

The South Korean team did not perform magic. Before the start of the World Cup, Italy and Spain were ranked ahead of the German team in comprehensive strength assessment. In the end, the German team prevented Tai Chi Tiger from raising the magic to an epic. South Korea advocated a very strong South Korea Team, only 4 shots in 90 minutes.

After the game, the European media applauded, and the mainstream media in other continents also agreed that the World Cup was normal.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t like the stories of unpopularity and the underdog’s counterattack. The football circle is even more exciting and yearning. As many people worship the strong, there are as many people who hate the strong. Millwall, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​​​Serie A three heroes, Could it be that there are countless strong fans, but there are countless people looking forward to them being cut down every day.

But everyone has a conscience, and some people will applaud those who counterattack based on their ability. For example, if Senegal steals the victory by means of indiscriminate means, it will be despised by the world.

In the post-match public opinion, the Korean mainstream media's evaluation of the South Korean team is roughly: It is an honor to lose.

On the contrary, Zheng Mengzhun began to blame the referee team with resentment, turned over the family tree of the head referee, and then beat him up, because the head referee had German blood in his ancestors......

The next day, the England team had to revisit their hometown.

Saitama World Cup Stadium.

From the afternoon onwards, the surrounding area has been filled with water. England and Brazil fans have become the mainstream group, mixed with local fans who are not weak, and the prelude to a peak battle is about to begin slowly.

Aldridge was sitting in the bus, and the car was quiet. Every player was adjusting his state and preparing for the game that will start at night.

Although the Brazilian team rested one day more than them, Aldridge believes that in terms of physical fitness, the England team will not be worse than the opponent.

Brazil's group stage is played in South Korea. Then came to Japan to play the knockout round.

The England team is from the opening of the group stage to today. Always in Japan. If you will go to South Korea to play a game, then you will lose the game at night, and you will go to South Korea to compete with South Korea for the third place.

I believe that the Korean media is happy to see this result.

In terms of venue environment, it is the second time for the England team to come to the Saitama World Cup Stadium, which is slightly more favorable than the Brazil team.

On the whole, the external factors are roughly the same for both sides.

That is. The decisive factor affecting the game will be the competitive factor in the field!

This is a good sign. As the coach, Aldridge is willing to compete with the Brazilian team under such circumstances. No one takes advantage of the other, and he has no regrets when he loses. He does not need to find reasons to comfort himself.

When night fell, the Saitama World Cup Stadium was crowded with people. The England team reached the semi-finals, and even the wives of England also stole the limelight in Japan. A group of beautiful girls will hit the headlines when they go to the street to buy something, among them Victoria Beckham looks like a big sister. Very limelight, she monopolizes more than eight points.

This high-profile semi-final can be called the pinnacle matchup of the World Cup so far. The English wives have already occupied the seats in the stands with a good view of the game. Mrs. Beckham and her son seem to have changed their sex today, smiling a lot. The woman with two sons beside her chatted very happily. It turned out that the two hot girls gathered in Japan, and Melanie also came to Japan from Europe. It was Burt and Earl who were wearing England jerseys beside her. Do you?

Not only women became famous, but even children gradually became popular with the attention. Xiao Bei's son has a good relationship with the two young masters of the Hall family, and they are friends who can play together.

Aldridge and Beckham.

Victoria and Melanie.

Plus the next generation.

This will undoubtedly win the attention and hype of the media.

 …

Aldridge stood in the locker room, for some reason, he was very relaxed now.

His thinking has become very simple, and he does not have to consider the gains and losses of interests, probably because England has reached the semi-finals, and he has done his homework for his political achievements.

The rest is to return to the competition itself and go all out to defeat the opponent.

Having been in the turmoil of European football for eight years, although he valued winning and losing as much as he did eight years ago, he no longer has the fear of failure.

If you lose, you lose. What can't you accept if England's skills are not as good as others?

This is not a kind of self-consolation, but that Aldrich's state of mind has truly reached the point where he is not surprised by honor or disgrace.

After the players warmed up and returned to the locker room, Aldridge carefully observed the demeanor of each player.

To his relief, he could see the confidence and perseverance in the eyes of these players.

The temperament of the England team has become natural. They played five games in the World Cup and won all five games. This is also a process of temperament transformation and sublimation.

If they didn't have this self-confidence, and didn't have this persistence to go further, maybe they should be nervous, trembling, and even blatantly afraid and apprehensive at this time.

The calmness and thinking that Aldridge instilled in them gave them the mentality of not being afraid of the strong, and it is also the quality accumulated from victories in battles.

After finishing their jerseys and shoes, they stood up one after another, staring at Aldrich with piercing eyes.

Aldrich said in a deep voice: Today, we will face the strongest opponent in the past two years, a Brazilian team with super offensive firepower that surpasses the limits of our cognition! To defeat them, we must rely on two points. One, composure, and two, unity. My request to you is that from the whistle of the start of the game, you must concentrate absolutely, stay completely on the field, make any decisions decisively, and obey my command, Can it be done?

able!

No one hesitated or hesitated, the entire locker room roared, and the echo seemed to be able to burst eardrums.

The whole England team, whether they were starters or substitutes, answered in unison.

Aldridge waved his hand and said loudly: I will fight against Brazil, no regrets! England, let's go!

Jansen opened the door of the locker room, and Aldrich walked out first, and the Three Lions following behind him held their heads high and their chests high! (to be continued..) ()
