Chapter 252 The Bright Future of Young People in England
Before the official announcement of the list of England's selected players against Germany on August 22, Li Tongfan and the old madman Vinables watched the England Charity Shield Cup final of the superstar at Wembley Stadium on August 5th. Chelsea played against the Red Devils Manchester United!
The game was broadcast live to more than 60 countries around the world through satellite, and 87,000,554 fans came to the scene to watch at Wembley Stadium. Li Tongfan and Wienerables were undoubtedly the most eye-catching of them. Before the game began, the on-site commentator noticed the existence of Lao Li. :
"...Oh, it's crazy Lee. This game attracted the new national team coach to watch the game. There are many three Lions internationals in Manchester United and Chelsea, among which Rooney, Carrick, Ferdinand, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Terry and others are all the main players of the McLaren era. I don't know that they are crazy Lee. There are many kinds of weights in my heart..."
Less than 19 seconds after the start of the game, there was a twitch-like exclamation in the stands. Chelsea's forward partners Shepchenko and Drogba jointly created a killing. Unfortunately, Drogba's single-knife ball was solved by the Red Devils Van der Salle... In the next game, the two sides attacked and defend each other, and Wembley's big ball The field was full of tense atmosphere. The players were fighting hard on the court, while the fans were watching him fight. The on-site commentators talked about Li Tongfan's arrival from time to time - "... Carrick's pass, awow, a mistake. Did the arrival of the madman Li make Carrick feel nervous?"
"...Ashley Cole's success broke the ball under Ryan Giggs' foot. The Chelsea defender roared at the fans. Is he expressing his fighting spirit to the madman Lee?"
"... Rooney took the ball, broke through, and was intercepted by Terry. In order to perform in front of the new coach of the national team, Xiao Pang worked very hard today, but it was too sticky, which was counterproductive..."
Every time the commentator mentions the madman Li, the broadcast camera will give a close-up of Li Tongfan in the stands. Li Tongfan in the camera keeps writing and drawing with his notebook, and discusses something with the assistant coach Vinner Bulls around him from time to time. In the broadcasting studios around the world, the commentators of various countries who see this scene. The member said in one voice, "It seems that the madman Li has fully integrated into the role he played..."
In the 28th minute of the first half, Rooney, who had been working alone with his personal ability, finally changed his playing strategy. After attracting a number of Chelsea defenders with the ball, he suddenly made Carlos Tvez, an Argentine beast who had just transferred from West Ham United to Manchester United this season, go to the meeting alone. , shot in the upper right corner of the goal, breaking the deadlock... The Red Devils took the lead with a goal, and Wembley Stadium fell into the hustle and bustle. The ice-like hurricane floated across the sea and came to London. The boos of Chelsea fans and the cheers of Manchester United fans played a messy chorus... And just six minutes later, Rooney assisted Scot. er si made a long shot, and this time even the on-site commentator exclaimed loudly, but at this time, this guy still did not forget to talk about Li Tongfan, "...GOOOOOOOOOOOAL... Wayne Rooney, genius-like assist, Scholes, genius-like shot!! This is a genius-like performance from beginning to end!!! Such a player is destined to be the soul of the national team. Crazy Li must have been moved by their talented performance... "Before the commentator's words were finished, the broadcast camera quickly aimed at Li Tongfan in the stands. Old Li was standing up with a ** face to applaud Rooney's wonderful performance, while Vinaables on one side sat in the seat. He smoked his own cigars, as if everything that happened on the court was floating clouds... At the end of the first half of the game, Ninis, a commentator from Tunisia, made a very interesting classification of the broadcast shots of the first half, and then exclaimed, "This is really an interesting phenomenon. Crazy Li got 15 nearly Close-up, while Ferguson and Mourinho add up to only 10, it seems that the English people really pay a lot of attention to their most expensive head coach ever..."
Change sides and fight again!
Although Manchester United took a 2-0 lead in the first half, the second half of the Charity Shield Cup was a nightmare for them. The Warcraft Didier Drogba from Côte d'Ivoire defeated the Red Devils' dream of winning the championship with his own efforts - 46 minutes of long-range shooting and 87 minutes of penalty area grab. The point made the total score a 2:2 draw!
This is not the weirdest thing, because in the subsequent penalty shootout (Charity Shield did not have overtime), only one person sent a penalty kick into the opponent's goal after seven rounds of penalty shoots - the Blue Army commander became the only one of the 14 people to seize the opportunity in John Terry, helping Chelsea with a total score of 3 : 2 defeated Manchester United to win the Charity Shield Cup!
Ferguson's roar in Wembley Stadium is clearly audible. What caused the 13 top players to miss the penalty?
It's extremely weird!
After the game, it doesn't matter whether the score is over or lose. The Charity Shield Cup is just a small performance cup match, and people's attention has always focused on the penalty fight. This is a ridiculous and surprising match... Why are Lampard, Ashley Cole, Rooney, Scholes, Carrick and other penalty masters Loss of strength? In the end, the media and fans reached a consensus because the madman Lee appeared at Wembley Stadium. These players who were hopeful to be selected for the England national team trembled... In the end, everyone reached an agreement. Wherever the madman Li went, strange things always happened wherever he went, whether it was good or bad!
In less than an hour after the game, Li Tongfan announced his first national team list since joining the Three Lions, which is also the list of players against the German national team on August 22:
3 goalkeepers - Joe Hart (20 years old, Manchester City, loaned from the Championship Rockidale); Paul Robinson (27 years old, Tottenham Hotspur); David James (37 years old, Portsmouth); 7 defenders - Michelle Mancini (19 years old, Chelsea, loaned to Queen's Park Cruise ), Philips Neville (30 years old, Everton), Lescott (24 years old, Everton); John Terry (27 years old, Chelsea); Donton Ferdinand (21 years old, West Ham United); Leo Ferdinand (29 years old, Manchester United), Ashley Cole (27 years old, Chelsea); 11 midfielders - David Beckham (32 years old, Real Madrid), Gareth Barry (25 years old, Aston Villa); Michelle Carrick (25 years old, Manchester United), Knight Phillips (25 years old, Chelsea), Joe Cole (25 years old, Chelsea), Gerrard (26 years old, Li Wupu), Walcot (17 years old, Arsenal), Ashley Young (22 years old, Aston Villa), Alan Smith (27 years old, Newcastle), Downing (22 years old, Middlesbrough), Frank Lampard (28 years old, Chelsea); 5 forwards - Pete Crouch (25 years old, Liverpool), Wayne Rooney (21 years old, Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (17 years old, Manchester City U18 youth team), Darren Bent (22 years old, Tottenham Hotspur), Abon Raho (20 years old, Aston Villa)... After this high-profile 26-man list came out, it was quickly released by Europe. The major media reprinted it, and the controversy also began!
17-year-old Walcote was selected because of his talent and participated in the 2006 World Cup, as well as the guarantee of playing in the giant Arsenal, so it is understandable, but people are selected by Manchester City U18 member Daniel Sturridge and 20-year-old striker Abon Raho, Championship goalkeeper Joe Hart and the same Chelsea's selection of Michelle Manzini on loan to the Championship team is the biggest questionable!
20-year-old goalkeeper Joe Hart and 19-year-old central defender Manzieni have not even made a debut in the Premier League before, while 17-year-old Daniel Storidge has not even made a name for Manchester City youth team, except for Manchester City's most hardcore fans. There are basically few fans in England who know about Storidge... Last of all, 20-year-old Abon Raho has the Premier League appearance data, but the Aston Villa striker, who has only scored 9 goals in 39 league games, has basically no other advantages except fast speed, and even the most loyal Villa fans have Abang Raho's shooting skills have always been at the level of the English Second Division... And in addition, people are surprised by the spirals of Red Devils captains Gary Neville, Hargreaves, Weis Brown, Glenn Johnson, Jermamy Jenners, Difo and Manchester City rookie Richards, these McLaren Dai's main players were excluded from Li's national team!
The bricklayers and beasts agree that this is the madman Li in order to establish his authority in the national team and cultivate his direct lineage... This is essentially the same as the shocking cleansing that Italian Fabio Capello is doing in Real Madrid!
"Li's England is hot, and young people are valued"
"Madman Li let the 17-year-old Steoridge become famous overnight"
Joe Hart: I must be dreaming!
"Martin O'Neill: Abon Laho is the right choice!"
"Red Devil Three Tigers Will Fall, Ferguson: Crazy Lee Is Biased Against Manchester United"
"Erickson: As the head coach of Manchester City, I'm not as good as the madman Lee to know Studridge!"
In the mixed public opinion, someone soon jumped out and fought against the madman Lee - the former national team coach McLaren sneered in an interview with the Sun: "According to the list of 26 people he published, the madman Li did not do a good job, and he actually wanted to use such 26 young people to deal with Germany. National team? Ha..."
The last word "ha" shows Uncle McLaren's disdain and contempt!
Although McLaren was very stupid in the national team position, the uncle's comments still received the support of a small number of English fans. You know, the Anglo-German battle at Wembley Stadium on August 22 is not a simple friendly match for every Englishman and every German. Say that this game is all about the honor of the whole country!
The world football world uses only one word to describe the Anglo-German war - a hundred years!
Yes, the Hundred Years of the Anglo-German War!
There has been a history of fighting between the two enemies for nearly a hundred years!
It is worth mentioning that the first football PK between the Hundred Years of the Anglo-German War was very dramatic - in the German West Front during the First Time War, after the Christmas truce, a British soldier made a simple football, and then the soldiers from Britain and Germany played a game in the no man's land between the trenches. In a bold football match, the British soldiers defeated the German soldiers 3:2 in the end! This unique game has even created a world-famous proverb in later generations - football makes the war go away!
For more than a hundred years since then, due to political factors, the Anglo-German War has been given a higher significance than the football match!
England and Germany, the old enemies of European football, began to do their best to compete for glory for their country in every confrontation. From April 20, 1908, when England swept the German team at 5:1 away, the centennial battle between Britain and Germany began!
Over the past hundred years, the collision between the two old enemies** has given birth to countless classic games on the stadium - the home court of the Three Lions in 1909 9: 0 mad slaughter of the Erman chariot, the unsolved case of the goal line in England and the world in 1966, and the 1990 World Cup quarter-finals against Britain and Germany, Paul Garscon moved the world. The tears of Owen's hat-trick of humiliating the Lion King Kahn in 2001... Everything is telling people about the historical origin and special meaning of the Anglo-German war, which is far beyond the Spanish national derby, Milan derby, North London derby and other world-famous derby battles... Therefore, for For any England or German national team coach, the best and most direct way to please the fans is to step on the opponent's body under his feet with goals that will never be too much in the Anglo-German war, over and over again **!
On August 22, 2007, which is coming soon, the 23-year-old madman Li has obviously become the best executor of this "historical mission" in the minds of English fans. This young Chinese's mythical record at Real Madrid last season gave the Three Lions fans reason to believe that what awaits them is Victory, I can't wait to see the national team kill its old opponent at Wembley on August 22nd!
The fans are so almost superstitious and superstitious that even if the opponent Germany is 7 places higher than England in the latest FIFA world rankings, they don't care at all! The decline in the European Cup qualifiers makes the whole British Isles look forward to a great victory that can save face!
In such an environment, Li Tongfan only needs to win a big victory in the 22nd game, so that he can easily capture the support of fans and create a dream start for his national team's journey!
At the same time, in the face of the "warlike" atmosphere in England, the young commander of the German national team, Loe, issued a formatted diplomatic statement in an interview with the reporter of Kicker: "England is a strong team, and Germany also has many excellent players. We will dedicate a wonderful game to the fans. ......"
This is Loe, a polite and gentle German handsome man. He will not use surging words to inspire the confidence and morale of the players like Klinsmann, nor can he like to confuse opponents through psychological tactics like Heathfield... However, this handsome German young commander There is his own horror - Love is a genius tactics master!
The German national team was able to achieve the third place in the 2006 World Cup. In addition to Klinsmann's **, the assistant coach at that time was so great that Klinsmann, who was impressed by his talent, strongly recommended Löw to the German Football Association as his replacement... The record of the national team in the following year also proves that Loeb did a good job after becoming the head coach of the national team... The atmosphere in front of the station is getting more and more tense... However, before the official start of the Anglo-German war, the Premier League was the first to start!
In the hot August, Chelsea, Everton, West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur scored 6 points after the first two rounds, and even had the same 4 goal difference, while Everton ranked first with the advantage of total goals!
In addition, it is worth mentioning that before the start of the Premier League, the tycoon Mick Ashley finally completed the acquisition of Magpie Newcastle. He bought 80% of the Magpie's shares from Freddie Sheffield for 100 million pounds and appeared at the St. James Stadium as the savior of Newcastle!
But the sworn tycoon soon disappointed the fans - Ashley did not invest more transfer funds for the club as he said, but sent the Niyalia Eagle Martins to Serie A for 24 million pounds! In contrast, Newcastle's all entries are only for defender Kakapa, who transferred freely from Lyon, and the Australian striker Viduka, who also didn't get a penny... In addition, the team's top star Michael Owen and Irish Fast Maddaf were injured. After two rounds of the Premier League, Newcastle scored 2 The painful record of scoring a goal and losing four goals ranked second from the bottom of the table. It seems that the bad luck of last season seems to have been bothering this former Premier League giant, which has never dispersed!
For Li Tongfan, the good news is that Torothy Tang finally completed the acquisition of Newcastle's minority shareholders. After spending 20 million pounds, Lao Li holds 18.3% of Magpie's shares! Of course, everything is secretive, and even the real contact is not Tolosi Tang. Everyone knows that Newcastle has a mysterious minority shareholder, but they don't know who this guy is!
This is not a matter, because even the magpie fans themselves do not seem to hope that this mysterious guy can save the team! Ashley, the newly appointed rich boss, began to pretend to be poor. What can a small shareholder do?
###August 20th, the weather is good!
The clouds that had been shrouded over London dispersed, and the bright sunlight rarely directly shone directly on St. Paul's Cathedral, the symbol of London!
With the second round of the Premier League, the attention of the British Isles has completely shifted from the league to the national team. The first game of the national team of the madman Lee is about to begin. The players who are lucky enough to be included in the 26-man list gathered at the world-famous London Brown Hotel to prepare for the Anglo-German War on August 22!
This is also the first time that Li Tongfan has met the stars of England, which is also interesting!
Daniel Sterić, Joe Hart and Manzini, the three youngest players selected as the most controversial young players, were the first to come to the hotel to report. The first brother of the three national teams obviously came before dawn!
Sturidge and Manzini are obviously two rookies, and although Joe Hart looks a little old because of his position, after standing in front of Li Tongfan, he is no different from the first two rookies. His nervous calves and stomachs are spinning, for fear that he will annoy the superior. The miracle coach was expelled from the national team... Li Tongfan patted the three people on the shoulders one by one, with the purest smile on his face: "Some people say that you are not qualified to be selected for the national team. I think it's bullshit. Look, what a great young man..." Lao Li said, making a color to the old madman Wiener Bulls around him: " What is lacking is only experience..."
The old madman immediately understands, and there is a purer smile on his face than Li Tongfan, like a demon with pointed ears, sharp tail, and three forks in his hand. The tone is full of **: "If the madman Li thinks you are qualified to play for Great Britain, then even It's useless for God to stand up and oppose... Good performance, boys, maybe you will play in the game and become a national hero, think about the scene of Wembley Stadium cheering because of you..."
Cheers and screams at Wembley Stadium?
Poor Joe Hart and the other three of them tried to draw the dream picture in their brains. In an instant, they were "limped" by the double reed of two crazy people, old and one young. They dragged their luggage back to their room, and then prepared for the first national team training in the afternoon!
"Hey, Daniel, I found that the crazy Li is very handsome..." Manzieni, a 19-year-old black boy, had nothing to say: "He said that we are all great guys!"
He is also a black man, but Steorich, who is only 17 years old, curled his lips disdainfully: "That's cool, the cool of a successful man! Only the little white face will be handsome..." At this point, Sdoridge raised his hands high to make a pious look of sighing and said, "God, crazy Li is my idol!!!!"
When the two of them spoke, their tones were trembling with excitement. Obviously, they were immersed in the "style" of a sultry man and couldn't extricate themselves!
And Joe Hart, who is a few years older than the two, walked in the front and couldn't help but turn around and say, "Actually, you don't have to be nervous. In my opinion, you should not have a chance to play in the game the day after tomorrow... As for me, as the greatest door god of the Three Lions in the future... I have great hope!!! Just cheer for me then..."
Sturidge and Manzini: "..."
In the corridor of the Brown Hotel, three teenagers full of hope are fantasizing about their beautiful tomorrow with gratitude!
In the lobby of the hotel, the old madman Vinaburs looked at the backs of the three teenagers and finally became serious: "Hey, little guy, although you promised me to rejuvenate the national team, aren't these three rookies too young? For me, it's okay to promise this. After all, the record is more important. You should know that the opponent is the German team..."
"Old guy, didn't you say that youth is wealth? As long as there are enough opportunities, they will fly to the sky..." Li Tongfan leaned on the sofa in the lobby, looking back and forth at the blonde, blue-eyed and tall waitress of the Brown Hotel, casually perfunctory old madman: "Moreover, this is just the beginning. I will let the world see a different one. The Legion of the Three Lions..."
At this moment, Li Tongfan's confidence is slowly. After the original system was upgraded to FM2008, the English League would qualify for so many high-potential demons. In the great era, I'm here...
