Chapter 557 World Cup 2

"This is the strongest England team in history. If they can't do well, the Swede may quit the football coaching industry..." Chelsea coach Mourinho also came to Paris. In an interview with reporters, he commented on England.

In response to this sentence, German football star Beckenbauer said, "The England team is very strong, but I still believe in the German team. This German team has a kind of vitality. They are very young, so they have a chance."

The Italians think that Italy will win the championship, because this Italy is also the strongest.

Next, various famous football players expressed their opinions, most of whom believed that their national teams had more opportunities. Obviously, their comments had serious personal tendencies.

Don Jack, who trained in London, was also interviewed. He expressed his confidence in the team in front of the media and fans: "I have a feeling that we are very strong! Yes, we are very strong, surprisingly strong! If you ask me where England will go, I will only tell you, look at it with your own eyes, and we will go all the way to the end.

Don Jack didn't say he would win the championship, but he obviously meant to fight for the championship!

Next, Gerrard, Beckham and some other players also stood up to support Don Jack's views, especially David, who is the representative star of the England team. Beckham, in an interview, said, "Jack said what many of us dare not say. Everyone has their own dream of winning the championship, and so do the English. Football originated here, and we hope to win back the honors of the past. Now I feel that the team is incomparable, and we all have the confidence to face every opponent!"

The England team is determined to win the championship from top to bottom, which makes the English fans very happy. Every morning, there are many fans holding a variety of banners in front of Wembley Stadium to cheer for the England team.

The slogans of the fans are also very loud, which has become a special scene in London before the departure of the England team. Many foreign tourists will come to the Wembley Stadium, and they will also be affected by the enthusiasm of the fans.

.........

Before the World Cup, a week seemed to be very short. Erikson's team's training content was mainly tactical cooperation. Among them, Don Jack appeared as a forward player, and he and Owen's partnered double forwards had good power.

However, some media and fans have doubts about the combination of the front line.

Obviously, compared with the 'obed-fashioned' golden boy, Rooney and Don Jack partner more aggressively. As Manchester United's top striker in the next decade, Rooney's strength is beyond doubt that it is really a pity to let Owen put Rooney on the bench as a striker.

However, some fans are also happy about this: on the bench of England, there is a talented striker of Manchester United, the world's top star worth nearly 50 million euros, which also proves the team's strength on the other hand.

These are just comments from the outside world.

In England, head coach Eriksson naturally thought about this problem. In terms of personal ability and contribution to the team, young Rooney is more energetic, but the only thing is that he is not skilled with Don Jack, and Owen is on the contrary. He and Don Jack have a tacit understanding, and so on this, Wen became the first choice of the main striker in Erickson's mind.

Facing the reporter, Erikson said, "We have to face many games. The front-line partner is not fixed. In my team, whoever is more suitable for the game can play." In this case, there are some official ways.

In fact, Eriksson is also considering letting Don Jack occasionally play in the midfield. In this way, the double forward combination is Owen and Rooney. Don Jack can start as a midfielder. Naturally, this also squeezes the position of a midfielder, that is, Gerald's position.

Gerrard, Lampard, England midfielder double core.

Lampard is more inclined to defense, and Gerrard is both. Their technical strength is comparable, but if Don Jack comes out, Lampard is naturally the best partner, because his defensive ability is actually stronger than Gerrard's, who is better at grasping the whole team and attack: many times, Jay Rad will also serve as a striker in Liverpool.

These days, Eriksson has been experimenting with the best way to match.

At the same time, the FA has also started preparations for the World Cup in Germany, which may be more of a show recognition. For example, on June 2, England's foreign affairs news officer announced the England team's team's song and the song written by the British rock band "Hugs" for England in this World Cup. -- "The World Is At My Feet" was selected. This team song has been reviewed by many officials and loyal fans of the Football Federation and has become the team song of England's competition. Danny, the main singer of the British rock band Hug, was very excited. He obviously didn't expect that the band was just a song written by his blood to become England's team song for the World Cup. "This is the first time in my life that I feel that the England team will win the championship. I hope this song can bring them good luck." By the way, one more thing to say, come on, Jack!"

Next, the singing of the English fans outside Wembley Stadium became a beautiful scenery. On the first day, the singing was still a little messy. On the second day, some of the fan representatives began to spontaneously organize and sing rhythmic and neat songs. They wanted to send England to the World Cup with songs. I hope they can bring the news of continuous victory to England.

At this time, the FA announced the team's jersey number.

Jack Don is naturally the number 10 representing the core. He can be said to have grabbed Owen's fan number in England. The latter can only retreat and choose No. 12, the team captain David. Beckham is the number seven representing the captain, and Rooney is number nine as the representative of the front line.

These numbers are quite meaningful. No. 9 and No. 10 represent the team's sharp knife and striker, No. 7 represents the captain, and No. 11 and No. 12 are the choice of the second striker.

From the perspective of team composition, it is understandable for Owen to choose No. 12. Whether it is Rooney or Don Jack and his partner, he must be the second striker.

Rooney is No. 9. This number is of great significance, but the media generally believes that this is a bad omen. In a team, No. 9 and No. 10 are ace players, but the probability of these two numbers playing together is not high, while Don Jack is a determined starter, that is to say, Rooney's appearances will be affected. Great impact.

But it all depends on the arrangement of head coach Erickson.

The media around the world are very concerned about this information. Among the 32 teams in the World Cup finals, the England team has become popular to win the championship because of Don Jack. According to statistics, many fans in interviews believe that despite the style of the England team, they are very passive against other strong teams. But England has Don Jack, a Maradona-level player in the early 21st century, so they have a great hope of winning the championship.

Moreover, some data also show the strength of the England team.

worth!

This is one of the criteria for judging whether a team is strong or weak. Even without Don Jack, the total value of more than 20 players in the England team is as high as 330 million euros. Coupled with Don Jack's value, all the players of the England team are worth nearly 500 million euros.

Of all 32 teams participating in the World Cup in Germany, only four teams have a total value of more than three million euros. They are England in Europe, Italy, Spain and Brazil in South America.

At the same time, the total value of the four teams accounts for 54% of all participating teams. The second-ranked Italy and Brazil are relatively close in value, but they have a difference of nearly 250 million euros from the England team, which is in Don Jack.

This kind of value is really horrible. Don Jack alone tops all the players of the last strong team. Although this does not represent his strength, on the other hand, it also reflects his influence in world football and prestige among fans.

In addition to Don Jack, there is still an obvious 'value difference' in the England team. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and four teams are Lampard, Gerard and Joe. Cole, John. Terry, Rooney and other players account for most of the team's value, and these players directly support the facade of the England team.

Other players have similar situations, such as the Spanish team. Among their players, three players from Barcelona, the double champion of the league and the Champions League, are also worth a total of 67.7 million euros.

In addition to the giants, England's Tottenham Hotspur, Spain's Real Madrid, Villarreal and other teams are all hotbeds for high-value internationals. However, although the influence is very wide, in fact, the rational media are still not optimistic that England can win the world championship, which is mainly due to the past achievements of India and England.

England never lacks stars!

In the 1990s, in the era when the value of players was generally low, English star Alan. Hiller alone can support the general team in South America, but England's performance is so poor that they have no hope of winning the championship at all. By the beginning of the 21st century, David emerged in England. Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Michael. Owen, divho and other stars, but their results have not changed.

Now, there is only one Don Jack. Maybe England has increased a lot of strength, but if you want to show your strength in the World Cup, more media and football professionals still hold a wait-and-see attitude. After all, it is hard to say whether this 'world's most valuable player' can integrate into the English team's tactical system. What's more, even if he can integrate into the tactical system, the England team is still the England team. Their style has not changed. The front line is stronger. It is still too difficult to defeat Brazil and other strong teams based on this.

As for changing the team's style with a super star, it's a fantasy.

"English players can form a strong Manchester United team or a strong Chelsea team, but it is impossible to form a strong team of Barcelona and AC Milan!"

The Kicker newspaper uses this sentence to describe the difficulties faced by the English team. Manchester United and Chelsea are Premier League teams. They can compete head-on with Barcelona and AC Milan, but it's just a confrontation. At present, the front and back meet, and the latter's win is very big. This is the team's style decision. It's decided.

There are more than 20 players in the England team. Most of them are natively trained stars in England. The attack is English-style football. This kind of thing in the bones can't be changed at all.

That's why the media is not optimistic about the England team.

According to the odds of the World Cup teams issued by the European Gaming Company, the team with the lowest odds of winning the championship is the Italian team, with odds of one and five. This is not only because of their high value, but also related to the confidence of the fans in them. After all, the odds specified by the betting company are determined after investigation. Italy The team is full of stars and has a gorgeous lineup. It is not that the English team is bad, and the Italian team relies on the defensive style to make them do well in the world. This time, they are playing at home, and they have a high chance of winning the championship.

Brazil ranks second. As the champion of the last World Cup, the defending champion this time, the Brazilian team is full of stars. They have Ronaldinho, who has won the world's top three times, and a group of stars in the European giants. The Brazilian team's performance has always been at the forefront of the world, and the odds are naturally very low, only one to seven. .

And there are many stars. As the thirty-two teams, England ranks behind Brazil, which amazes many media, because in the previous World Cups, England's ranking is in the middle, only similar to the Netherlands, at least not the team of the first group.

PGalo, president of European Gaming, called this 'Jack Storm'. When talking about the odds of the England team, he said, "This is the effect brought by Jack. Among the fans who bought England to win the championship, except for the English fans, some other people came for Jack. They have confidence in Jack, so they I think England can win the championship. I use 'Jack Storm' to describe this phenomenon. This is the first time that a player can drive a large number of fans and greatly affect the team's chances of winning the championship.

Some media believe that the reason for this is that "the front line of England is reassuring".

With Don Jack's front line, whether his partner is Rooney or Owen, or only Don Jack is the striker, England's goal is guaranteed. With the front line guarantee, England will naturally have the winning chip.

Compared with the world's top teams, England's other fronts are not surprising. Although there are many stars in the midfield, the Volkswagen does not have enough confidence in the combination of Gerard and Lampard. Captain David. Beckham has long lost his outstanding strength at Manchester United, and the England team's midfield can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

Not to mention the goalkeepers, the goalkeepers of some second-rate teams are better than the England team.

For the English team coached by Eriksson, the influential French Football commented: "As the originator of modern football, the English team has a very special position in international football."

"At the beginning of international events such as the World Cup and the Europa League, the English disdained to participate in the competition. They thought that the center of world football was in Great Britain. In 1950, the England team was defeated when it sent a team to participate in the World Cup for the first time, which made the proud English talent bow their heads and face up to international football. In the 1966 World Cup final, England beat the former West Germany 4-2 to win the World Cup is a memory worth cherishing forever. It is the only weighted champion of English football so far. In the European Championship, England's best result was only two semi-finals. In a country with endless superstars, such achievements are not worth mentioning at all." It is a tradition of English football to advocate long pass and physical confrontation. This traditional style is behind the times. However, this year's England team stars are gathered, such as Lampard, Gerard, Beckham, Owen and other stars with good skills and health, plus heavyweight star Jack. Li's joining, the current English team combination is shocking, but they want to go further in the World Cup, but it depends on how Erickson can make a team of these stars.
