Football Modifier

Rehhagel's hand was tightly held with Crazy Lee.

At this moment, the elderly [Otto the Great] felt relieved for some reason.

In 2008, after losing to Crazy Lee in the European Cup, he was very dissatisfied. Even just now, before the Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura blew the whistle to end the game, Rehhagel's heart was still filled with deep regret for the loss of the game...

However, when shaking hands with Crazy Lee, Rehhagel suddenly felt relieved!

The game was over, he was 73 years old, an age that should have been peaceful in his old age.

As a football coach, Rehhagel has written a glory that countless people can hardly achieve in their lifetime. Even if he lost to Crazy Lee twice in a row, it didn't matter. After this game, Rehhagel decided to end his rule over the Greek team!

A 73-year-old man, who doesn't know how many days are left in his life, he should try to enjoy a life without football!

Rehhagel held Li Tongfan's hand and shook it heavily!

[Emperor Otto] felt that holding the young man's hand, he suddenly felt emotional at this moment, as if time had reversed in a trance. Looking at the invincible madman Li in front of him, it was like seeing the young, vigorous, arrogant and unruly self!

Time flies, taking away time and miracles!

Today, the miracle of Rehhagel finally came to an end!

"Your era has begun, young man, I wish you good luck!"

Rehhagel gently patted Li Tongfan's shoulder, as if talking to himself, and then, without even looking at the reporters who gathered around him, he turned around and disappeared in the player's channel...

Li Tongfan stood in place.

Watching Rehhagel's back finally disappear, I don't know what he was thinking. Is this really the end of a mythical era?

At this moment, the hustle and bustle in the stadium is at its peak.

Argentine fans were celebrating their victory crazily, while Greek fans stood up and applauded to comfort their heroes. The huge sound waves, like the surging tide in the ocean, surrounded Lee Tong-Bum tightly!

This was his glorious moment!

However, at this time, for some reason, Lee Tong-Bum only had that back figure in his mind...

That was the back figure of a great emperor!

……

……

Shortly after Argentina defeated the former European champion Greece 4:1, at the Durban Stadium, the South Korean team tied with the [African Eagle] Nigeria team 2:2 after a 90-minute battle - in the first half, Nigeria's Uche scored in the 12th minute, and the South Korean team quickly relied on defender Lee Jung-soo's header and forward Park Ju-young's free kick to overtake 2:1. Nigerian center Yakubu equalized with a penalty kick in the 69th minute...

Both sides scored 1 point.

After this match, the final ranking of Group B finally revealed the mystery——

[Blue and White Army] Argentina won all three games and scored 9 points, leading the way and advancing to the top 16 in Group B as the first place!

[Asian Red Devils] South Korea won one, drew one and lost one in three games, with 4 points, ranking second in the group, and won another qualifying spot, and finally escaped from the dead luckily!

Greece won one and lost two in three games and scored 3 points, ranking third in the group.

[African Eagles] Nigeria lost two and drew one in three games, with 1 point, and was at the bottom of the group in Group B.

After all the games in Group B were over, people had not had time to digest this result. Soon, fans and media around the world were shocked by a sudden and heavy news——

[Otto the Great] Rehhagel, who ruled the Olympian gods for nine years, finally announced at the press conference after the game that he would no longer renew his contract with the Greek Football Association and take the initiative to end his rule in Greece!

This time, he will end his coaching career!

Soon, the Greek Football Association expressed the highest respect to the legendary coach who had led the team to win the European Cup like a fairytale, thanking Rehhagel for bringing the pinnacle of glory to Greece, and at the same time, announced Fernando Santos as the team's new coach!

European media issued a cry of surprise and regret-

"The Rehhagel era of the Greek team has ended"

"Kaiserslautern and Greece, the era of Emperor Otto the Great has come to an end"

"The legend ended in 2010"

"In a historic battle, Madman Li became the first miracle man after Rehhagel"

The major football celebrities and elders also expressed their regret and blessings for the departure of this legendary figure-

UEFA President Platini: "In the past era, he was one of the best coaches in football... It's really hard to believe that he has retired in the blink of an eye..."

Bremen head coach Schaff: "He is one of the most famous figures in the team's history... My achievements are far inferior to his..."

Kaiserslautern used the entire official website to thank the legendary coach for the glory he once brought to the club...

The reputation of [Emperor Otto] once again resounded throughout the European continent in a special way!

Rehhagel's life is undoubtedly a legendary life.

He has created countless miracles in small teams like Kaiserslautern and Greece, and has also suffered a lot of mistakes with super giants like Bayern... It is destined by God that he seems to be born only to lead grassroots teams. Creating the dark horse myth, and in a true football sense, he is indeed an out-and-out miracle worker, worthy of being remembered by the entire world of football!

Not to mention, in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa that has ended, the Greek team he led was also the first team to break through the gate of Crazy Lee's Argentina team, and the first team to lead the Blue and White Army for a full half-time. The team was the first to make [God on the sidelines of football] Madman Li stand on the sidelines frowning for 45 minutes, and the first to almost push Argentina over the cliff!

In fact, Rehagel almost succeeded!

Even Crazy Li himself admitted frankly at the post-match press conference: "In fact, I didn't come up with a good idea until the halftime break. He put huge pressure on me... However, today, luck does not seem to be on the side of the Greek team. Otherwise, I think everyone here will have a super big news that can’t wait to announce to the world - Crazy Li finally lost!”

The reporters burst into laughter. Indeed, that was what they thought at the time.

…

…

Rehagel's iron-barrel formation made it no longer easy for Crazy Lee's Argentina team to win. This phenomenon has caused many people to think deeply, especially the Mexican team, which has been determined to meet Argentina in the knockout round of the top 16, like It was a life-saving straw, and the Mexican media did not forget to remind coach Aguirre——

"Defensive counterattack is the only key to defeat Argentina"

"The Greek team lost due to good luck, but the Mexican team had better luck than the Greeks"

"Hold on to a draw + a penalty shootout, the only way to destroy Madman Li"

In fact, not only the Mexican team, but also many teams that are determined to compete in the Hercules Cup have begun to study the Greeks' method of dealing with Crazy Lee. Compared with the Nigeria and South Korean teams that lost by a big score, [Otto the Great] Reha Geer's experimental attempt has left other wealthy families with ideas that deserve more attention!

Unknowingly, how to stop and deal with Crazy Li has become the topic of the entire world!

Of course, the World Cup must go on!

…

June 25th.

The two games of Group C kicked off.

Game 1 - [Three Lions] England faced the last opponent in the group, Slovenia, at the Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth!

Capello's team did not perform satisfactorily in the previous two games. However, in the last game against Algeria, they played a super big score of 3:3 to equalize - especially 0 : After falling behind by 3, after replacing [Beast] and [Angel] in the second half, the powerful offensive power displayed by the Three Lions made many people feel chilled, and Capello himself also claimed to the media that he had found the team. The best lineup!

Sure enough, in this game, Capello learned the lessons from the previous two games and changed the starting lineup that he had insisted on before——

The original first choice for risk - Manchester United's top player Wayne Rooney sat on the bench.

He was replaced by [Bear] Andy Carroll, and [Angel] Nicholas Gigi also got the chance to start... The two of them and [Flash Killer] Michael Owen formed England's new offensive trident!

"This is a pure 'Made in Newcastle' front line!!"

Commentator Cester lamented: "The goalkeeper is Joe Hart who has finally returned from injury, the back four is Glen Johnson, John Terry, and Steven Taylor, and the midfield three is Lampard, Gerrard and Alan... Smith...the England team on the field now has a clear brand of Madman Lee!"

Gary Lineker smiled: "As long as it can help the team win, it doesn't matter who starts, after all, they are all English players!"

The game officially starts at 16:00 local time.

England kicked off first.

The 4-3-3-formation chosen by Capello is somewhat risky. If the Three Lions cannot win this game, they may even be in danger of being eliminated. No matter from any aspect, this is definitely a success. A real life and death battle!

However, everyone's doubts disappeared in the 6th minute of the game.

Capello's tactics of forcing the center were successful——

Lampard passed a high ball from the backcourt, [Bear Bears] Andy Carroll fought for the top, and Alan Smith met the ball at the front of the penalty area and opened fire. Facing the ball like a cannonball, Slovenian goalkeeper Handano Vic missed the ball and [Lightning Killer] Irving made a supplementary shot...

1:0! !

England got off to a perfect start.

In the broadcast footage, Italian Capello stood on the sidelines and clenched his fist fiercely. His excitement was beyond words, and he just extended his V-shaped gesture and yelled "Oh!"

In the next game, the England team showed a devastating offensive ability. Slovenia was simply unable to adapt to the fast pace of the Three Lions. Facing the opponent's stormy offensive, the only thing they could do was to fall... Fall down...fall down...

Facing the opponent's slamming, he fell down again and again!

13th minute.

[Lightning Killer] Michael Owen succeeded in running long distance during the counterattack and hit a fatal blow, 2:0! !

24th minute.

[Angel] Nicolas Gigi received Lampard's corner kick, and under the cover of Carroll, he headed the ball into the goal from the back post, 3:0!

43rd minute.

[Bear] Andy Carroll, who has always been making clothes for others, showed his own violent aesthetics - he successfully counter-robbed at the front of the penalty area with his strong body and violently shot the ball into the goal...

56th minute.

Alan Smith's heavy artillery...

72nd minute.

Lampard's powerful free kick...

89th minute.

Gerrard's super long shot...

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Slovenian fans in the stands of the Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth finally broke free from the nightmare in tears!

7:0! !

No one would have thought that the England team, which had been stumbling in the first two games, would suddenly become a different team, unstoppable like a tiger descending from a mountain... You know, before this, Slovenian fans were expecting their team to create a miracle and defeat the weak England team to advance to the round of 16!

The Three Lions finally woke up!

The result of the game also made the world media exclaim -

"England is scoring again, the Three Lions are crazy in the post-Mad Lee era"

"Capello, one game is comparable to Mad Lee two years ago"

"England won a big victory, made by Newcastle"

"The Three Lions set off a youth storm"

"Rooney deserves to sit on the bench, the two young kings of Newcastle finally got a chance"

...

England's super victory is another 7:0 after Argentina swept South Korea 7:0 and Portugal swept North Korea 7:0. In comparison, from the strength of the opponent, Capello's team's 7:0 is even more valuable!

The [Three Lions] also relied on this overwhelming goal performance to climb up to the second place in the odds list, second only to Crazy Lee's Argentina!

Soon, another match in Group C also had a result. The United States team relied on the captain Donovan's lore in stoppage time to jump from the edge of elimination to the second place in the group stage and won another precious spot in the top 16!

All the matches in Group C were over. England and the United States had 5 points each, but the former relied on the winning goal to sit first in the group, and the United States was second. Slovenia had one win, one draw and one loss in three games, with 4 points, and [African Fox] Algeria had two losses and one draw in three games, with 1 point. Both were eliminated!

…

On the 26th.

The Group D match began.

The critical situation of the German team, with the core striker [K God] Miroslav Klose absent due to a red card, relied on the world wave long-range shot of the core midfielder Ozil in the second half, and finally defeated the Ghana team 1:0.

On the other side, [Australian Kangaroos] Australia defeated Serbia, which had Vidic and Ivanovic, 2:1 with goals from Cahill and Hoffman!

After two games, the top four teams in Group D were divided into males and females——

[German Exhibition] Germany won two games and lost one, ranking first in the group with 6 points, and advanced to the top 16.

[African Buffalo] Although Ghana lost to Germany, they scored three more goals than Australia, which also had four points, and won the second place in the group, becoming the first African team to qualify in this African World Cup!

Australia ranked third.

Serbia lost two games and won one game, accumulating three points and ranking last in the group.

…

As the game progressed day by day, the cruelty of the World Cup gradually emerged, and one team after another said goodbye to the World Cup with tears!
