Chapter 577 Simple Revenge 2

With preparation and strong strength, the game is not very difficult for Don Jack.

Pre-match head coach Erickson said in an interview: "We want to complete the revenge of the European Cup, and more importantly, we want to defeat Portugal to announce England's return to the stage of a world-class strong team!"

This exciting speech does not seem to come from Eriksson, the Swedish population. In fact, this is the line that the Football League has prepared for him for a long time. They want to copy this game as the beginning of England's return to the world stage. The meaning is naturally clear, but what gives the FA so much confidence is the performance of the England team in the World Cup. Since playing with Paraguay, the England team has not encountered any resistance. All the games are smooth. They are full of confidence in the England team, which gives the Football League enough 'spiritual' support. .

In contrast, Portugal looked very low-key before the game. In the face of the reporter's interview, Scolari just said, "I will do my best to lead Portugal to defeat England and enter the top four!"

There are also many players looking forward to the game before the game.

"I'm very excited to be able to have a relationship with Portugal. My mistake two years ago made England out, and I still remember that moment deeply until now.

In an interview with reporters, Beckham said, "I can't forget this scene. Erickson asked me to play the ball. I was a little nervous, but as a captain, I had to make a good start for my teammates. Unfortunately, I still failed." It was a shame in history that England lost a penalty to Portugal in Euro 2004. "Now, we have met them again. I don't think we will be afraid of anything now. All the teams that block our way to the championship will fail, including Portugal, of course."

At this time, the media have begun to make crazy reports and comments on the Anglo-Portuguese war.

Compared with the other three games: Germany vs Argentina, Brazil vs France, Italy vs Ukraine, there are too many stories that have to be told between England and Portugal, and the most important thing is that the players of the two teams are also tit-to-for-tat, and no one avoids this topic. Each of them is full of momentum. He wants to defeat his opponent in the war.

However, at this time, many football commentators began to speculate about the final result. According to some historical records, all kinds of 'English penalty defeat theory' from nothing, instantly dominated all the arguments---

"England and Portugal will draw and lose to Portugal in a penalty!"

Such an argument seems to be a little prominent, but it is also reasonable, because England has failed too many penalty kicks on important international battlefields, which is enough to make all English fans afraid of penalty kicks.

1990 Italian World Cup, 1996 European Cup, 1998 French World Cup and 2004 European Cup...

It can be said that in these major international competitions in recent years, England has all fallen on the penalty spot, and the last time it was eliminated by Portugal.

This is the history of blood and tears of the England team...

On the third day after the game against Ecuador, head coach Eriksson asked the English players to do a morning penalty training, and the Swedes were also afraid that this would happen to England again.

However, Erikson is not very afraid of the penalty. The first free thrower in the team must be Don Jack. So far, Don Jack's penalty has not failed, and Gerard, Lampard, Roonega Beckham and other stars can be trusted. Even if some of them can't resist the pressure, they miss a goal and score four goals, which is already very good. However, Eriksson still doesn't want to drag the game to the penalty. In terms of the strength of the England team in the above two games, Portugal is not a difficult opponent. As long as they play normally, England will definitely be the final winner.

"Isn't this too careless..." When thinking so, Eriksson always feels that he is too careless. After all, his opponent is the Portuguese team that has defeated England, but when he thinks of the team's No. 10 boy, he has some confidence.

In fact, Don Jack thought much more careless than him.

Although he is just a player, Don Jack feels that he now has the ability to change the result, even in the World Cup. The strength of the Portuguese team does not cause much obstacles to himself. In order to prevent accidents, he just needs to score a few goals quickly.

"Nervous?"

When he was interviewed by the media before the game and remembered to ask about Don Jack's mood, Don only said indifferently, "I don't think there is anything to be nervous about the game. Portugal's strength is not bad, but it is still much worse than England. I think they should worry more about whether they can hold the first half. I will continue to play hat-tricks in the game, hoping that they can cause me a little hindrance.

I'm afraid only Jack Don dares to say such words!

The media are excited about the 'language attack' of Portuguese players. A series of words such as arrogance, pride and arrogance have been poured into Don Jack's head. If this has happened in the past, the media will collectively attack Don's Jack as the world's largest 'angulation', England and grapes. It's really ridiculous to open your mouth and say that you want to get a hat-trick.

However, only the Portuguese media unilaterally thinks so this time.

Other media, such as Italy, Germany, France and other media, think that although Don Jack's words are a little 'a arrogant', they are still realistic. They hope to test the authenticity in the game, rather than comment empty words. As an English media that supports Don Jack, they say 'expect', "We look forward to Jack can do what he said and let such a proud Portugal take a good look at the strength of the England team." The attitude of the Daily Telegraph can be said to represent the attitude of all the media in England.

The day before the game, all the members of England went directly to North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany. Guelsen Kirchschalk of Len is preparing for the next battle on July 1.

The next day is the game, and the war can be said to be a touch-and-go.

At the critical moment, the players of the two teams are concentrated on the training ground for the final preparations before the game. No player will talk nonsense in the media. To the disappointment of the media, the two teams do closed training. They do not disclose the training content. Media reporters can only seize the training gap to shoot some rest scenes.

"Portugal is ready for everything!"

The exciting news still comes from Portugal. Of course, it is only encouraging for Portuguese fans unilaterally. On the morning of the game, Scolari was finally interviewed by the media again. He pointed out that the team was ready to let the arrogant English bear the consequences of their 'arrogance'.

Portuguese midfielder superstar Luis. Figo also said boldly: "90 minutes is enough for England. We don't need to practice penalty kicks."

In an interview with The Sun, Louis. Figo revealed that the Portuguese team did not spend any effort to practice the penalty, because they firmly believed that England could be solved in 90 minutes. "Until now, we have not practiced the penalty. If the coach needs it, we may practice tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I hope to beat England in 90 minutes, but if the game is dragged into overtime, it is not a problem for us. Our goalkeeper is good at saving penalty kicks, but in a penalty shootout, anything can happen. This is a psychological problem, and we want our nerves to be stronger than England. I think we have shown good psychological quality in the game, and we hope to outwe the English in every way.

When the reporter asked about the specific game, Figo talked about Jack Don: "Although his words are very annoying, he will be our most difficult opponent. I am positive about his ability, but he is still too young to score our three goals..." The other thing is that Jack Don's approach is very naive. Who would say that before the game? This kind of person can only be said to be naive.

In addition, Figo explained the impact of this: "He will definitely be under a lot of pressure in the game. If he doesn't fulfill his promise, he will face a lot of pressure. In the game, it is fatal."

In response to Don Jack's words, Figo was optimistic: "We were still under some pressure, but when he finished saying that, the pressure reached the side of England. I think in the afternoon game, his performance must not be as good as the previous two games."

Finally, Figo explained that he would withdraw from the national team after the World Cup and pointed out that he did not want this to be the last national team game: "Maybe the English people want revenge. We won them two years ago, and now we are concentrating on winning them again."

..........

After Figo's interview, the Portuguese players did not make any noise, and the English players were also silently preparing for the game. Under everyone's expectation, time passed little by little. Finally, it was 345 p.m., and there were still 15 minutes before the game to start, and the players of the two teams were also prepared in the channel.

With the referee's signal, the players of the two teams each pulled the caddie into the court.

The faces of the players of both teams are very steady and tenacious, all of which show their desire to win the game. Everyone expects their team to beat their opponents. The World Cup is held once every four years. It is amazing for ordinary professional players to participate in the World Cup three times, just like David. Beckham, this is his third World Cup trip, three World Cups, that is, 12 years, which is enough to make a new young professional league a veteran who depends on experience.

So, no player doesn't care about the chance to play in the World Cup.

Except... Don Jack.

He doesn't care how many times he has participated in the World Cup. In fact, for Jack Don, what is more important is that the game can bring honor and meaning to himself. If it is a game that is meaningless to him, there is no difference between participating and not participating.

In the current game with the Portuguese team, he also wants to pursue some meaning, such as the opponent is too strong, but obviously, even if the game does not start, he does not believe that they can cause him much trouble.

When the players of the two teams took a photo, Don Jack stood beside the team, and he and C. Ronaldo's position is only one person apart, C. Ronaldo noticed it. He turned his head and saw the indifferent attitude on Jack Don's face, and he felt angry. "Is this contempt for Portugal? Or is it a contempt for me?"

He thinks too much...

However, Jack Don's expression can really touch the hearts of many people. At least more than 50 million fans will watch this game, and the cameras of various TV stations almost 20% of their time are fixed on Jack Don. It can be imagined that his expression, what he has done and so on will be noticed by everyone. .

And that kind of indifferent smile, I can't see a little nervousness and caution.

The game is like an indifferent game for him.

This understanding is really an insult to Portugal. For this inexplicable reason, the Portuguese players on the field are even more 'hate' to Don Jack. Many people are angry and want to give this brunette boy a 'powerful' look in the game.

In such a strange atmosphere, the game between the two sides finally began.
