Beckham, the peak of the start, is handsome

Chapter 92 Kobe and I scored 83 points together. England is in danger! Call Xiao Wen, call Xiao Wen!

Before the start of the Anglo-Italian War.

England's great players are optimistic.

In fact, before Xiao Wen decided to come to Brazil, they were still very optimistic.

Among them, Joe Cole is the craziest. In an interview with Sky Sports, he said that he believes that the fearless Three Lions under Hodgson are capable of winning the World Cup in Brazil.

"I really think we can win the championship. Judging from the quality of the squad and what I know about the internal situation, any result lower than the top eight is disappointing."

"I watched three of England's warm-up matches and I'm very satisfied. Don't worry about the two draws. The team performed well from top to bottom. Adam Lallana, Raheem Sterling and Ross Barkley

They all looked sharp, the only regret is that Chamberlain was injured."

"I think England have a great chance of winning the trophy. Everyone seems fearless and Gerrard is ready to go. I'm very optimistic about the team's prospects."

Just don’t mention Xiao Wen.

Beckham's suggestion was that Hodgson should boldly use new players. In fact, this time, Hodgson brought 19-year-old Sterling, 20-year-old Barkley, 18-year-old Luke Shaw, and 18-year-old Xiao Wen.

Despite the lack of experience in international competitions, Beckham still believes that England will benefit a lot if Hodgson can give them full trust.

"A lot of people are skeptical about us bringing in so many young players, thinking they're not ready yet, but I don't think so. These players are playing in the best leagues, playing against the best players, and they're just

Big-game players, such as Xiao Wen, so age is not a problem,"

It is worth mentioning that in the 1998 World Cup in France, the then 23-year-old Beckham participated in the World Cup for the first time and scored a free kick in the group match against Colombia.

And that year, there was also a boy chasing the wind.

At the pre-match press conference, Hodgson said that Xiao Wen's timely arrival was the biggest encouragement to the team!

In the 2012 European Cup, England faced Italy in the quarterfinals, but failed to contain their opponents and was eliminated.

The two teams in this World Cup were grouped together and will meet in the first match. Huo Taigong believes that the Three Lions are more fully prepared this time.

"How do we deal with the Italian team led by Pirlo this time? First of all, we have to do better. We will play more proactively and passionately. We are a young team and this is the first game, so we will play well.

More compact".

"In addition to some problems in our last meeting, the team's offense was insufficient. The game mainly focused on defense, which gave the Italian team too many opportunities to win the ball. This time, the Italians will be aware of our offensive performance, and my plan is to use more

We must attack more to suppress our opponents, and we must use the attacking power of Rooney and Gerrard," Hodgson emphasized.

Except for Hodgson's strong stance at the press conference.

Wilshere, the team's minor threat, seems to better express the team's anti-league attitude: "Even though he is unshaven and bleary-eyed, the 35-year-old Italian player Pirlo is still the player we fear most in the first game. But we have already

Be ready to challenge Pirlo, this will be the key to winning the first game."

Yes, in the quarter-finals of the European Championship two years ago, when Pirlo faced the England team with a certain command, he passed more passes than the opponent's four midfielders combined.

In that game, Pirlo led the Italian team, which was not in good shape, and made the Three Lions suffer a lot, and was eliminated again in a "routine" penalty shootout.

"Xiao Wen can't play? No, no, no, we are a whole. We will not be affected by the absence of a certain player. We will always play at our own pace!"

This is their answer - without Xiao Wen, we are still a strong team.

…

June 15th.

Amazon Stadium in Manaus.

The stadium was full of people celebrating the World Cup. Stimulated by alcohol, the England fans were talking loudly and shouting at people they didn't know.

No plot, no story.

It is said that life or the green field is originally composed of countless grievances and grievances.

Xiao Wen was sitting in the stands, wearing sunglasses and sweeping his eyes towards the players of both teams who were warming up on the court. He thought of Wilshere's interview he saw in the morning, and this is what he thought in his heart.

He softly hummed the song "I haven't been a big brother for many years" and chatted softly with Ethel Hesch beside him. He didn't seem to be angry at all, because he didn't care what the England players thought.

On the contrary, Esther Heath has received many endorsement advertisements these days, which makes her very happy. There is no doubt that Xiao Wen's soaring fame has also brought Esther Heath to the headlines countless times.

The relationship and career of the two people seem to be on the rise.

With this rich joy, Xiao Wen always had a smile on his face.

Not long after, the players from both sides finished warming up.

While they were returning to the locker room to prepare, Xiao Wen refreshed the Sky Sports news again.

They even gave a lot of interesting data about this game.

Rooney played a total of 594 minutes for England in the World Cup finals, but failed to score a goal.

For a leading shooter with such statistics, Xiao Wen could only shake his head.

England has lost only 2 of its past 16 World Cup finals games, with a record of 7 draws and 7 losses in the remaining 14 games, including 2 penalty shootouts.

It looks very tight. But looking at it, we almost never win the games that we should win.

Historically, England and Italy have won the World Cup a total of 5 times, with the Azzurri reaching the top 4 times, namely in 1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006. The Three Lions reached the top in 1966.

.

How is this different from 'Kobe and I scored 83 points together'?

Balotelli played 30 times for the Italian national team and scored 12 goals, with a good scoring efficiency. This past season, Balotelli played 41 times for AC Milan and scored 18 goals.

When Xiao Wen saw this name, he couldn't help but want to laugh. However, if Balotelli plays with his brains, England will be in danger.

Lampard is the player with the most shots after the 1966 World Cup. He completed a total of 39 shots, but did not score a single goal.

Hiss. Goal line, goal line tragedy, Neuer, Neuer made a great catch!

Xiao Wen still wanted to pull down, but Esther Xishi next to him kissed him: "The game is about to begin."

Xiao Wen looked down the stands and saw players from both sides entering the stadium!

"What do you think England's tactics will be? Conservative or offensive?" Esther Heesch asked in a low voice. She liked asking Xiao like this, and she also liked the way he answered slowly but always seriously.

However, this time Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment.

Tactics?

Speaking of this, Xiao Wen almost wanted to laugh out loud.

before the game,

The Daily Mail, through unknown insiders, exposed in advance the mobilization strategy board in the dressing room before England left for Brazil.

The coaching staff conveyed 9 instructions to the players, and each one was more speechless than the last. The British fans called it all nonsense.

1. Could have handled the ball better (referring to the warm-up against Honduras in this game);

2. No one was injured;

3. We created good scoring opportunities;

4. I am happy with your positive efforts;

5. We may encounter a similar situation in the World Cup in Brazil (referring to the fierce playing style of the Honduras team);

6. We showed a calm attitude;

7. We are ready to fight Italy!!! Don’t talk about Italy to the media;

8. I’m looking forward to going to Rio and getting serious about it;

9. Don’t answer any questions about the Falk Islands!!! (The Falk Islands are also called the Falk Islands)

Of the above nine instructions, the first six are about the summary of the game against Honduras. In this game, the Three Lions drew 0-0 with their opponents, but the Football Association was satisfied with the performance of the players. They even "tried every means" to find words.

Praise the team members.

For example, in Articles 3 and 4, when England faced Honduras, only three shots in the game hit the goal frame, but the coaching staff was actually satisfied with the performance of the players. Objectively speaking, the above-mentioned morale-boosting practices did not seem to be effective.

Wrong, but with the war coming soon, it seems more important for the players to realize the problems in the team. You must know that the England team is in the group of death, with Uruguay, Italy, and Costa Rica. If you are not careful, the Three Lions may be eliminated from the group.

.

The last three instructions are obviously more speechless. Not only do they not convey any substantive content, but they also add some unbelievable instructions to the players. For example, in Article 7, the first half of the sentence is nonsense, and the second half is confusing.

Before knowing about the focus game, there was always a lot of talk. Another example is Article 9. Football has always been strictly separated from ZZ. The players naturally know that they cannot talk about ZZ on a top sports stage like the World Cup.

Because of this, British fans and netizens have commented that this tactical board is full of nonsense.

"It should be a defensive counterattack."

Xiao Wen also kissed Esther Xishi. At this moment, the two seemed like a couple who went to Brazil on vacation to watch the world competition.

After the game started, both sides began to test each other.

Xiao Wen did not expect that England actually played well. Of course, it may also be because Italy played equally poorly.

A whole group of noobs pecked each other.

In the 5th minute, Henderson volleyed with his right foot from 20 meters away from the goal. Siligu flew sideways and knocked the ball away.

In the 8th minute, when Pirlo broke through with the ball in the middle of the penalty area, the ball hit Johnson's arm close to his body. The Italian team asked for a penalty kick, but the Dutch referee ignored it and Chiellini's long shot from the outside went wide.

In the 11th minute, Welbeck volleyed vigorously with his right foot from the top of the arc in the penalty area, and the ball slightly missed the left post.

In the 23rd minute, Marchisio broke through and scored. Balotelli turned around and volleyed with his right foot 25 meters away from the goal. The ball was slightly higher.

In the 35th minute, Italy took a tactical corner kick. Verratti made a pass and Pirlo missed it. Marchisio fired with his right foot 22 meters away from the goal. The ball went into the lower left corner of the goal! 1-0, Italy leads!

Xiao Wen shook his head. He checked his phone and found that the World Cup information was updated in real time - "This is the 16th consecutive World Cup match for Italy to score a goal. In the past 18 Italian team's World Cup goals, the goal was through a corner kick."

There were as many as 8 balls.”

Why hasn't Hodgson paid attention to this? Where have all the preparations before the game gone!

Unexpectedly, England, which was lagging behind, quickly counterattacked.

In the 37th minute, Rooney broke through from the left and passed in. Sturridge shot with his right foot from behind and scored! 1-1, England tied!

The entire English fans cheered loudly. However, something unexpected happened among the celebrating Englishmen. An England team doctor suffered a fracture while celebrating a goal and was carried off on a stretcher.

Xiao Wen wanted to laugh, but he had to hold it in

"Does England still need Xiao Qian?"

Joe Cole immediately launched an attack on Twitter, and many people supported his views.

Xiao Wen saw this and just smiled.

At halftime, the two sides were tied one to one, and it looked like they were evenly matched.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second half, Bashen rushed towards the England goal with his brains!

In the 50th minute, Candreva broke through from the right side of the frontcourt and made a pass. Balotelli headed the goal 3 meters away from the goal! 2-1, Italy went beyond again!

England, which was lagging behind, was exhausted by Pirlo's long pass dispatch.

Sterling actually cramped in the 68th minute!

In the 62nd minute, Baines made a direct pass. Rooney was offside from the penalty spot and got rid of the defense and volleyed hard, but the ball missed the left post.

This was England's closest chance to score in the second half.

After this header, some England fans began to ask questions on the Internet: "What if Xiao Wen was on the court in this game?"

In the 76th minute, Sturridge also suffered cramps.

At this time, the fans who had been supporting Xiao Wen couldn't help it anymore, "Damn it, every professional player gets cramps after playing for less than 80 minutes! I can do it! I can get cramps too!"

"Laughing, do you still need to ask Xiao? Do you need it? Do you need it now? @Joe Cole!"

"Drunk, everyone is worth 50 million, and the performance is 500,000. Go to the League One to further your studies, Sterling!"

The final result of the game was that the experienced Italy gave the England youth army a sap, 2:1!

England's shooting ratio of 18:12 resulted in such a result, which many people could not accept.

At the post-match press conference, Hodgson blushed and said, "Xiao Wen will be on the bench for the next game."

Now, those English fans who traveled thousands of miles to Brazil to watch the game quit.

"Let Xiao Wen stay on the bench?"

"Being a substitute for trash like Sterling, Sturridge, and Welbeck?"

"I seem to see Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo at their peak serving as substitutes for Oscar, Fred and Hulk."

"Hodgson dismissed!"

"I want to see Xiao Wen!"

Xiao Wen was taking his time. He was much better these days. Every time he ran hard, he felt nothing serious.

He was a little happy at first.

These bastards won't be so harsh now, will they?

But in reality the situation was not much better. On the training ground, except for Rooney and a few other young guys, it was as if Xiao Wen had picked up all their girls.

"I don't want to take risks, Xiao Wen. Let's look at the situation first. If this situation doesn't go right, I'll let you play immediately."

Hodgson originally thought that it would be safer to arrange Xiao Wen to play in the last game.

But the current situation is that if they lose the next game against Uruguay, there will be no third game, and this World Cup will be over.

…

June 20th.

Sao Paulo Arena.

Compared with the joy of the first game, before the start of this game, the fans in England were much quieter and lower-key.

Uruguay is not a weak team.

In the 2011 Copa America in Argentina, they even beat Brazil and Argentina to win the championship!

After looking at the starting list before the game, Xiao Wen felt that the big Yin Emperor stars in England were probably worth more than their opponents, but they were also completely overwhelmed by their opponents on the field.

A 4-4-2 formation:

The goalkeeper is Muslera

4 Defenders: Caceres, Diego Godin, Jimenez, Alvaro Pereira

The four midfielders are Gonzalez, Arevalo, Lodeiro and Rodriguez

The forward is the biggest among the big names—Suarez partners with Cavani!

Like an outsider, Xiao Wen warmed up, returned to the locker room, and followed the substitute players to the bench.

The main players from both sides enter the venue

Game start.

And Xiao asked,

Opened the system in Naizi.

After the Champions League final, the system seemed to beep. At that time, Xiao Wen only had time to see "Congratulations.", and then he was pushed forward by Royce.

He has been waiting for the right time to open this blind box

That,

Just now.

What could it be?
