Football King Bale

Looking at this newly released five-star skill, Bell's face almost convulsed with laughter.

This is simply tailor-made for his upcoming national team competition!

Leader's Heart: Enhance the host's influence on teammates, improve the interpersonal relationship between the host and teammates, and at the same time enhance the personal abilities and performance stability of teammates. The closer the teammate is to the host, the higher the promotion ratio will be. It can improve the personal ability and performance stability of teammates by up to 10%. However, when the relationship between a teammate and the host is hostile, the teammate's personal ability and performance stability will be weakened, and the maximum weakening rate can reach 20%! In addition, when the host serves as the captain on the field, if the team is in dire straits, the host can passively trigger the motivational effect.

Bell: ...

This is simply not giving a way out to people who don’t have a good relationship with you, and it’s also not giving a way out to your opponent’s team!

Of course, if your teammates are too rubbish, even with the bonus of this skill, it may be difficult to have a big effect. For example, if Bell is asked to lead a certain national team, the most he can do is lead them to a football desert. Wang Zhengba wanted to make a difference in world football, but he thought too much.

However, although Wales is not very strong, the main players basically play for the Premier League team after all, and the rest of the rotation and substitute players also play for the English Championship. They can be regarded as real professional players. With the bonus of this skill, the effect is still considerable.

Ten years later, Wales' opponent Lithuania in the European qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa became the first victim of this skill.

At the Vilnius Stadium in Lithuania, Bell led Wales to go on a killing spree and bloodbathed the Lithuanian team 6-0. Among them, Bell sent 2 goals and 2 assists, and the other two goals were also instigated by him.

With this big victory, Wales regained the first place in Group G, which had been occupied by Bosnia and Herzegovina for more than four hours.

After 6 games in the World Cup qualifying group, Wales continued to occupy the top spot with 5 wins, 1 draw and 16 points. They scored 23 goals in 6 games, but only conceded 5 goals, with a goal difference of 18.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's record is also very good, with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, closely chasing Wales with 13 points, and their goal difference is only 1 less than Wales. They also scored 23 goals in 6 games, just because of the comparison. Wales conceded one more goal and were at a disadvantage on goal difference.

Slovakia's performance was poor, with only 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in 6 games, and it was almost announced that it would miss the top two in the group.

Because Wales has already played two games against its biggest rival Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This gave Wales the initiative to qualify for the group stage. The four group matches they played were not too difficult, including two matches against Liechtenstein and home games against Latvia and Slovakia.

Wales' outstanding performance in the World Cup qualifiers made the Welsh people very excited. They seemed to have seen the team advance to the finals of the World Cup in Brazil and compete in the World Cup finals for the second time in history.

Moreover, because of Wales's rapid progress in the World Cup qualifiers, the Welsh and even the British have more expectations for the upcoming Confederations Cup.

………………

Although the Confederations Cup was only incorporated as an official international event by FIFA in 1997 and was promoted by the then FIFA President Joseph Blatter, in fact, its prototype was born as early as 1980.

To commemorate Uruguay's successful hosting of the next World Cup, in 1980, 50 years after the first World Cup was held, teams that had won the World Cup title gathered in Uruguay for a "World Cup".

Inspired by this, FIFA then began to arrange a tournament involving champion teams from all continents to relieve the pain of world fans waiting for the quadrennial World Cup.

From October 15th to 20th, 1992, as one of the predecessors of the Confederation Cup, the 1st King Fahd Cup football match was held in Saudi Arabia.

The first Confederations Cup was held in Saudi Arabia from December 12 to 21, 1997. Before this cup, the predecessor of the Confederations Cup, the "King Fahd Cup", had been held twice before FIFA took over the competition. After the tournament, it was renamed the Confederations Cup.

Initially, the Confederations Cup was held every two years. In 2005, it was changed to every four years. The hosts and World Cup champions of each session and the champions of each continent's football cup will participate.

The upcoming Brazilian Confederations Cup will be the seventh edition of this event.

This cup is an important preview of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. It is also the first time that the Confederations Cup is held in a South American country.

There are a total of 8 teams participating in this tournament, including the host Brazil team, 2010 World Cup champion Spain team, 2012 European Cup champion Wales team, 2011 Asian Cup champion Japan team, 2011 CONCACAF Gold Team Cup champion Mexico, 2011 America's Cup champion Uruguay, 2012 Oceania Cup of Nations champion Tahiti, and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations champion Nigeria.

All 16 games will be played in six cities including Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza and El Salvador. The opening game will be in the Garrincha State in the capital Brasilia. Stadium, and the final venue is the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

The draw ceremony for this Confederations Cup was held as early as December 1 last year. According to the draw rules, the host Brazil team and the World Cup champion Spain team entered the A1 and B1 positions respectively as the seed teams. In addition, because the teams from the same continent were in the group Based on the principle of avoidance during the competition, European Cup champion Wales avoided Spain and entered Group A where Brazil is located.

Group A teams include Brazil, Wales, Japan and Mexico, while Group B teams include Spain, Uruguay, Tahiti and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations champion Nigeria.

Relatively speaking, the average strength of Group A, where Wales is located, is significantly stronger than Group B. In Serao's eyes, in this group, the strength of the host Brazil is obviously a higher level, and they will undoubtedly occupy a qualifying spot.

The other three teams, Wales, Japan and Mexico, are actually about the same strength. Although Wales is the European Cup champion and performed well in the World Cup qualifiers, its true strength has not been recognized by the world.

After all, apart from Bale, the Ballon d'Or winner, Wales really doesn't have any big-name players.

Although Ramsey is an Arsenal player, he is only a rotation player for the Gunners and has not locked in the main position. Moreover, Arsenal's strength has been declining year by year in recent years, and they are not very competitive.

Under such circumstances, Ramsey has not been able to secure the starting position of the Gunners, let alone become the core of the Gunners, so his strength is just that.

The other players in the Welsh team are even less worth mentioning. They are basically ordinary players in ordinary Premier League teams or even English Championship teams.

It is really difficult for such a team to beat Japan and Mexico. The most they can do is compete with these two teams for another qualifying spot in Group A.

After playing the World Cup qualifier against Lithuania, the Welsh team returned to the UK. However, they did not return to Wales, but transferred directly to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in London.

Before the official start of the Confederations Cup, Wales also finalized a warm-up match, which can be regarded as Wales' second game on this international match day.

The opponent in this warm-up match was the national team of the Caribbean country Haiti. Wales borrowed the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro as a warm-up for the subsequent first group match of the Confederations Cup.

Although it was an insignificant warm-up match, enthusiastic Brazilian fans almost packed the entire Maracana Stadium.

Most of the Brazilian fans are here to see Bale. Mr. Ballon d'Or is also the biggest player in this Confederations Cup.

Because both Argentina and Portugal failed to qualify for this Confederations Cup, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two other heavyweight players in world football who are comparable to Bale, did not come to Brazil to compete.

In order to hone the lineup, Bell was also included in the starting lineup by Wales head coach Chris Coleman. However, facing the underdog Haiti, ranked 65th in the world, Bell really couldn't muster any energy. During the 45 minutes of the game, he had no desire to shoot and regarded himself as the core organizer of Wales.

In the end, under Bell's guidance, Wales slaughtered Haiti 5:0 at halftime. Bell did not score, but he did get 3 assists.

At the beginning of the second half, Bell did not appear on the court and was replaced.

Coleman saw that Bale was not interested, and his opponent really didn't have much fighting ability. It was almost the same in half a game to adjust the lineup. It took more time to play, but it exposed Wales' tactics, which was not beautiful.

Wales, who lacked Bale, did not have much advantage when facing Haiti. In the second half of the game, the two sides were evenly matched. Wales scored 2 goals, but Haiti finally broke through Wales's city.

In the end, Wales won the warm-up match 7:1 against Haiti.

However, through this game, many people have finally determined that Wales without Bale is really no threat, not even a toothless tiger, because Wales is not a tiger at all.

However, everyone also has a clearer understanding of Bell's role. When Bale was on the court, even if he didn't exert any force, under his guidance, Wales still bloodbathed Haiti 5:0 at halftime. With Bell leaving the game, Wales failed to take advantage of Haiti.
