Chapter 579 A New Beginning

It is a great achievement for England to beat Portugal by a big score and enter the final four of the World Cup.

So far, all the English players have breathed a long breath. They have fulfilled the expectations of the FA, which is enough to explain to all the fans. But now, unlike the past, with such an advantage and smoothness to enter the final four, fans all over the world are looking forward to whether England can win the Hercules Cup, which symbolizes the world championship, and the pressure has returned to the team.

Entering the top four is a new situation. In the face of the interview, Eriksson said: "Our road to the World Cup has just begun." Naturally, it means that England will really face the pressure from now on.

So, what about the team eliminated by England?

This may be an insult to the Portuguese team that has returned home, but there is nothing they can do. The team that lost by a big score has no say, and they can only watch England ' show off their power'.

Entering the quarter-finals, England's opponent is France.

France is definitely England's biggest opponent. Tracing back on history, France and England have endless stories, which is more than Portugal and Sweden. The two teams have always been sworn enemies, but in recent years, the French team's performance in world football is much more brilliant than that of England.

Before the end of the last century, France had emerged super first-class players such as Fontaine, Platini and Papin, which were quite strong. However, although they won the European Championship in 1986, in general, French football is still not the world's top level. This situation did not come to an end until the 1998 World Cup in France: Zidane and Dejokov were unstoppable in the year of the fight. Deschamps, Desailly, Blanco and other veterans stabilized their hearts, and Henry and Trezeguet gradually emerged.

It was with the excellent performance of this fierce player that the French team won the World Cup title and waited for another success in the European Championship two years later.

However, with the withdrawal of a group of veterans from the national team, the strength of the French team suddenly declined. The 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup group stage was surprisingly eliminated. This World Cup qualifiers once ranked fourth in the group. At the critical moment, Zidane, Maclelele and Thuram came back, successfully helping the Gallic Roosters directly qualify for the World Cup in Germany as the first in the group. From Fontaine to Henry, from Platini to Zidane, there is no shortage of soul figures in French football in the midfield, and its short pass penetration also makes the great powers feel a headache.

As long as the French can take the game seriously enough, no team in the world can easily defeat it. In this year's German arena, the French team is still a force that cannot be ignored.

Now the French team is one of the most influential teams in world football. This time, it has reached the top four, and has successively eliminated Spain, Brazil and other strong teams. They are considered to be the most winning teams. Among the top four, Germany, Italy and France are all strong teams, and only England is a 'pseudo-dark horse'. .

According to the media analysis of the three opponents, the German team is still the weakest as the host. France and Italy have the championship, while England is difficult to think about it. England does not rely on solid strength, but on the personal performance of the stars. Don Jack's performance alone can affect the performance of the whole England team.

There is only one decisive victory. No one dares to say that there is no surprise. Don Jack has always been able to perform as well as before.

However, Don Jack himself has an indifferent attitude at all. Before the game, he refused to be interviewed by reporters. He just sat silently and trained with the team. He looked cautious. The British News Agency commented that 'Jack is seriously preparing for the game', but in fact, Jack Don doesn't care at all. For him, football has been There is no challenge.

Not to mention the hustle and bustle before the game, the game will soon start like this.

The French team has a veteran like Zidane, and also has many upright stars, such as Henry, Trezeguet and others. Their strength is really strong. However, when they meet England, they mainly meet Don Jack. No matter how many stars are, they are not very useful. The French team is a team that is good at defense, but they are with England. Lan flinched at the beginning of the game.

This attitude always makes the French team's defense make all kinds of mistakes. Fortunately, the players made up for these mistakes with practical actions and defended the goal ten minutes before the opening.

"That's great!"

For such a defense, even Don Jack has to save a sentence. Next, the game will have time to compete with each other. The two teams began to fight in terms of the control of the middle and long. The hot atmosphere of the game is getting stronger and stronger, and the movements of the players on the court are getting bigger and bigger.

But fans know that it is very bad for the French team.

The media's evaluation of the French team is that "Although this French team is strong, it lacks vitality". Now the English players on the court feel very obvious. After the English team uses the cooperation to attack to the hinterland of the French team, the French team rarely run in the midfield and backcourt, and they will not chase the ball after being passed. This The state of the game and fighting spirit give people a feeling of twilight.

This has greatly increased the confidence of English players in the game.

However, it is not easy to find an opportunity. The French team players look like a twilight, but there is naturally a reason for head coach Domenek to trust these veterans. If the French team can stand up until now and directly enter the top four of the World Cup, they must have their ability. The biggest advantage of the French team is that their players have too much experience in the competition.

In the midfield, there is no need to say more about generals such as Zidane and MacLele. These two players have even won several places in the UEFA Champions League. Their game experience makes them much better than many people with the same technology, even if they pay half of their efforts.

Both of them are the world's top players. Whether it's Zidane's technology or the fierceness of Makelele, they are unique in the world.

In addition to two people, Vieira is one of the best midfielders in the world today. He has excellent physical fitness, strong confrontation ability, flexibility and good foot skills. He is a near-perfect defensive midfielder.

The three of the world's top midfielders stand in the midfield of the French team, and the difficulty of England's attack can be imagined.

In addition to the rich experience of several veterans in the French backcourt, it is not easy for England to use British 'rough play' tactics to penetrate the French team's defense.

The next game reached an impasse. The French team sought defense and England sought a breakthrough in the attack. Don Jack did not like such a game. He tried to make the team an advantage.

He saw the stability of the French team's defense. England used the team's cooperation to make it very difficult to cross the midfield. In desperation, Don Jack could only choose to carry the ball by himself. In fact, he did not want to do so, but the strength of the French team made him very helpless. At this time, he thought that his teammates were 'untrustworthy'.

This idea seems to be too extreme, but on the other hand, it is also correct.

The personal ability of English players, especially the cooperation is to lose to the French team. The overall disadvantage makes it difficult for the team to get a chance. At this time, it is useless to believe in teammates. Although England has been attacking, it has no good opportunity.

"David, there is a chance to pass the ball to the penalty area!" He said this to Beckham.

In the current England team, Don Jack is definitely the first person in the team. As the captain, Beckham must admit that on the court, Don Jack rarely commands, but all his commands are unconditionally carried out by his teammates. No one doubts that in the face of a player he can only look up to, there is Who would question his decision?

Anyway, Don Jack's command must be for victory, and they have no reason to refuse.

As a result, England's tactics suddenly became simple. Just now, the England team was still using short passes to penetrate and try to break through the defense line, but immediately their playing style became 'traditional British play'. Long passes to the French penalty area appeared. These long passes are often not very accurate and can be combined with the penalty area. Don Jack, who keeps wandering in the game, is a headache for French defenders, this threat has increased a lot.

The French team is very uncomfortable!

Next, in the 24 minutes of the first half of the game, Don Jack finally got a good chance. Beckham dribbled the ball on the right side. After encountering an interception, he and Gerrard made a two-by-one cooperation, and then hung the ball to the penalty area with a gap, which was a long-distance high pass.

After passing the ball, Beckham stood still and didn't run forward, because he knew that if the team's brunette boy could get the ball, it would be equivalent to a goal, otherwise the French team would launch a counterattack.

"Jack!!" The on-site commentator shouted out.

Don Jack jumped up directly in front of the French goal and hit the two defenders. He jumped high and headed the ball to the left corner of the goal with his head. French goalkeeper Batz made a mistake in predicting. He thought that his teammates would grab the ball, but he just blocked the right angle and wanted to hit the ball out. When the football flew over, he It was too late to save.

The goal is scored!

1-0, England took the lead.

But the players of both teams know that the game has only just begun, but many French fans already feel that the team has no hope. In the face of the strong England No. 10, what will they use to defend?

Zidane? Is he really good?

French fans feel very confused, because they can't find a way to limit the performance of the opposing players. Such a game is really scary. If there is no way to limit the opponent, there is no way to let the team win. Now it is backward. What should France do?

I'm at a loss....... It has been spreading.

Many French players are also a little confused. They don't know how to continue the game.

After losing the fighting spirit, the game can be described as 'no suspense'. England is playing aggressively, while the French team seems to have no resistance, like a puppet who has lost its will, but it is just a constant symbolic game. Such a game can be imagined.

..........

The 90-minute game passed quickly. In the end, England defeated France by three goals and won. In the 80th minute of the game, Don Jack was replaced. His two goals and the perfect performance of the game won the cheers of the fans.

After the game, the head coach of the French team stressed again: "We just lost to one person!"

I have heard this argument many times, but it is the first time that it comes from the head coach of the world's strong team. At the same time, another semi-final host match between Germany and Italy also ended in Dortmund Westfa. At Lun Stadium, Italy, relying on Grosso and Piero to score one goal at the last minute in overtime, finally defeated Germany 2-0 to advance to the World Cup final, and ended the German team's record of 14 unbeaten games in Dortmund.

Italy remained unbeaten with 3 wins and 4 draws against Germany in 7 times in the competition, and reached the World Cup final for the sixth time in history. Italy also expanded the official unbeaten record to 24 games.

Then at 2:00 p.m. on July 10, Italy and England will compete for the final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

The host was eliminated, leaving only two teams, Italy and England, which no one expected before the game. Italian football and English football have always competed fiercely. It can be seen from the league that before 2000, Italy was known as the 'Little World Cup', but in recent years, with the Premier League With the rise, the Italian league and the English league have been equal. In the evaluation of UEFA every year, the gap between the two leagues is not big, which is also the epitome of the football competition between Italy and England.

Some media also pointed out that Jack Don's next stop is likely to be Serie A. Now if Jack Don shows his strength, he is likely to give those Italian giants clubs who want to buy him an exciting boost, so that they can fight bravely. After all, no matter how well they perform with other teams, they may not be able to adapt to Serie A. Dali's defense is the strongest in the world. Only by breaking the Italian team's defense and creating goals can he really prove that he can adapt to Serie A.

With hundreds of millions of investment, any club should be carefully considered.

.........

The World Cup is about to be final. It can be said that it is very difficult to get to this point, but the closer it is, the more Don Jack is not nervous at all. Since his breakthrough, no opponent can be an obstacle. Of course, the Italian team is the same. They are a little better than other teams, just a little bit. Well, but the gap between Don Jack and ordinary players can no longer be filled with effort.

This gap makes Don Jack feel lonely and invincible.

"Football, it's the end here." During the daily training, Don Jack thought of it indifferently.

It is said to be daily training. In the tense atmosphere before the game, England's training was very serious, and only Don Jack was surprised. He felt that these trainings had no effect on improving his state and strength. He didn't know what to do, but no one would understand it.

He is very uncomfortable, but there is nothing he can do. Jack Don is looking forward to ending the World Cup as soon as possible, so that he can have a long vacation to think about the future.

Now, he is at the top of professional players!

With his strength, it is not difficult for any ordinary person to compete. Whether it is Italy or Germany, these can't bring fun to the game. So what is life for?

He is tired of it!

At the beginning of the World Cup, before the breakthrough of internal skills, he still wanted to die in football, but now he doesn't have this idea. Every day, he goes to play a game that affirms victory. He feels like a clown standing on the stage. Although he has won a lot of honors, it doesn't make sense at all. The life he needs is continuous. Breakthroughs and constant challenges, but this is not the case now.

With this insipid mentality, the final with Italy began.

The attention of hundreds of millions of fans did not bring a little excitement to Jack Don. He felt that he had really become a clown and the game became no fun, but in order to promise, and for the sake of the English team and friends, he had to defeat his opponents.

In fact, from the moment Jack Don made up his mind, Italy lost. They lost not to the England team, but to Jack Don, an opponent who made it difficult for them to defeat together!

In the end, it was obvious that Italy lost three goals to England in the end.

This World Cup also ended with England's cup, but Don Jack feels that this moment is a new starting point in his life, and it's time for him to plan for his future!

Except for football, his life can be said to be a mess.

Emotionally, little Vanessa and Li Xue are both their own women, so how will they solve them? In addition, there are other problems, such as their passports are still British, but they do not have Chinese nationality, which is also difficult to solve. In his heart, he will always be the descendants of Yan and Huang, and they should have Chinese nationality. That's right.

At this moment, he is willing to give up a lot of things for this.
