Green Life

Volume 4 Chapter 33

That night, Group D decided the final result as expected. Although Ghana lost to Germany, the two teams still qualified together.

The opponents of England's eighth-finals are freshly released. The African "Black Star" Ghana team, with many players who occupy the main positions in the upper and middle teams of the five major leagues, they have advanced to the knockout rounds for the second consecutive World Cup.

England will play their round of 16 final at 8:30pm local time on June 26 at the Bamfokken Stadium in Rustenburg, where they played their first match.

The Ghana team has many well-known stars, such as Chelsea's Essien, Inter Milan's Muntari, Udinese midfielder Asamoah, Marseille's Ayew, and Dabo who just transferred from Germany to Ghana before the World Cup Aten, etc., it is these well-known stars that made the Ghanaian team a star in Africa.

"South African Football News": As of tonight, nearly half of the World Cup top 16 has been decided. The first four games are settled, namely Uruguay vs. South Korea, England vs. Ghana, Argentina vs. Mexico, Germany vs. the United States, and the rest. The top 8 will also be decided in the next two days. At that time, the World Cup in South Africa will officially enter the knockout stage.

"It's a good result for us," Capello told The Times when he returned to the training base, "Banfoken is not far from here, our first game is here Going on, glad we're back here, we didn't show our best here in that game, but then we found the form we've been in for the past year, Ghana is a strong team in Africa, a very tough opponent, The schedule is also very tight, so we have to prepare seriously..."

"The Times": England's eighth-final opponents have been announced. Mark and Essien will meet again. The Champions League final, the league championship battle, the World Cup, one attack and one defense. They will face off again in Banfokeng in three days.

"Guardian": Ghana coach Lajevac claimed in an interview that he is not afraid of England, and they will try their best to create the best results of African teams in the World Cup.

"Daily Mirror": Paraguay, Belgium, Denmark, Ecuador! , will Ghana be the next team to be eliminated by England in the World Cup 1/8 finals?

Almost that night, the British media's predictions about England's top 16 battle were overwhelming. This was also the first time the two sides met in the World Cup.

A reporter from the "Daily Telegraph" randomly interviewed England fans who came from afar in South Africa. Regarding the result of this match, the fans expressed their views one after another.

"You know, there are only a few games in the World Cup. You can't meet a strong team too early. Ghana is a good opponent. We have advanced to the quarter-finals in two consecutive World Cups, and this time will be no exception."

Even many England fans have begun to fantasize and yearn for England to enter the semi-finals after 20 years, "Uruguay, South Korea, Ghana, God, this is simply the most wonderful half area, we will have an advantage against any team, I think The semi-finals are already waving to us!"

"Who do you think will be the key to leading England to victory in the knockout round, Rooney? Mark or someone else?" The reporter asked again.

"Mark", "Mark", "Rooney", "Gerrard", for a while, the fans around were talking about it, but the mention of Mark Qin still occupied most of the voices.

"Mark's performance in the group stage was so good, he will definitely be marked in the knockout stage, so that others will get a chance instead," said one of the logic emperors.

"No", another fan obviously disagreed, "No team can defend Mark, Mark will let them know what fear is, yell", this fan is obviously a die-hard Mark fan, shouting excitedly towards the camera.

In the next two days, the remaining top 16 teams were released one after another. Among them, Italy's exit broke out again with a shocking upset. Mark Qin sent consoling text messages to Denmark's Agger and Italy's Iaquinta, because Liverpool These two buddies in the team are going home.

Except for England and Spain, the only players in the Liverpool team who can participate in the World Cup are these two buddies, and they have all left now.

"I wish you all the best, Mark, your performance is as incredible as the club's." Agger called Mark Qin back, "I read what Beckenbauer said yesterday, and there are many people in our team. There are already enough people talking about you and praising you, so I won’t participate haha, you are still young, don’t be influenced by the outside world, play well, but I believe you can do it, come on”

There was a warm current in Ma Keqin's heart. The two of them recorded a deep friendship in Liverpool. There is never a shortage of people who are icing on the cake in this world, but they will pour cold water on you to calm you down when you are proud, and give you help when you are difficult. It must be true friend.

"Haha, Daniel, thank you for your concern, you know me, I have never cared about this, maybe this is their trap, trying to make me get carried away, haha, yes, you can go on vacation and have a good time, Okay, bye", Mark smiled bitterly and shook his head and hung up the phone.

In the past two days, he has indeed been on the cusp. Brazil's Pele and Argentina's Maradona will brag about who is their successor in the media from time to time, but the more they say it, the more valuable it is. Yes, this has a lot to do with the operation of the agent behind the player.

Set up a successor title, and then send the players under him to the national team for gilding through connections during friendly matches, and immediately double their worth. Many agents in South America do this.

And those celebrities also need to take care of their retirement life with the help of the relationship between the media and those powerful agents, one for fame and one for profit, and hit it off.

Many celebrities in the mixed media in Europe also like to do this, but the real masters have already been inextricably linked with the club and will no longer care about these petty profits.

So this is where the real weight of Beckenbauer's words lies. It is because they say less that they are more sensational and influential.

"Successor of Beckenbauer", "interpreter of free agents in the new era", "next football emperor", there are not too few names that have popped up suddenly in these two days.

However, the relationship between England and Germany in the football world has always been tense. The British media obviously did not buy it very much for this title, and directly started a confrontation with the German media.

"Joke, how can Mark wear a Three Lions shirt, the new Beckenbauer, say he's the new Bobby Charlton, the new Martin Peter, or even the new Gascoigne, no way It's Beckenbauer", this is a direct attack from the sports section of the "London Daily"!

The "Kicker" over there immediately responded, "So it's not without reason that you haven't been able to reach the semi-finals for so many years. Your knowledge of football is simply superficial. Can you find a player like Mark in your history? ?, Bobby Charlton is great, but he's a striker"

"The Times" also quickly got involved in the war for the honor of the country, "Either a free man came out, or it all came from your German heritage. Modern football originated in England. According to your theory, all footballs in the world The stars are all inherited from England!"

"French Football" quit, because Beckenbauer said in an interview that Mark Qin will be half of Beckenbauer and the whole of Zidane in the future. Who is Zidane? He led the French team to win the World Cup for the first time, and once again won the runner-up football symbol, and his status even surpassed Platini.

No matter how good you Ma Keqin is, you can't be half Beckenbauer more than Zidane, right?

"We have always respected Mr. Beckenbauer, but this time his words are obviously exaggerated, and it is also an insult to French football. Mark is very talented, but he and Zinan, Bobby Charlton, Beckenbauer Compared with these great superstars who have entered the football hall, they are much worse. He should play this World Cup well first. England, which has not been to the top four in 20 years, how can there be new Zidane and Bacon Ball?"

As soon as this map was shot, the British media went completely crazy, "What qualifications does France, which was eliminated in the group stage, have to be arrogant?", "What are these people you are talking about doing when they are 19 years old? Have you ever won the Golden Ball? How many records have you broken? How many goals have you scored in the World Cup and how many assists? In less than 4 years since his debut, Mark has almost won all the honors that others can't get in a lifetime!"

The German media immediately replied: "My God, our football emperor started a scuffle because of a young man representing England. There is nothing more ridiculous than this."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Capello immediately started closed training and declined all media interviews. If England lost the 1/8 finals in this formation, Mark Qin would be thrown to death by the media.

I have seen too much praise and kill him. I believe that the media has morals, it is better to believe that the old bustard can be good!

"He's just 19 years old. As long as I'm England manager, I won't put all my bets on a 19-year-old kid. It's ridiculous," he finally accepted the interview the day before the quarter-finals. Facing the media, he said, "There is no need to say more about Mark's excellence, but he still needs time to become stronger and mature. Your media's unrestrained praise of him is of no use except to affect his mentality."

Capello’s tone is very bad. The media are too good at making trouble. When you perform poorly, they will pick you up. You think the world will be in chaos. When you perform well, they will blow you up. Northwest, besides disrupting the locker room, is of little practical use.

He even began to blame Beckenbauer in his heart, just talk about your German team honestly, it’s okay to tease our young core? , not afraid that Yingde will really meet, and fight psychological warfare in advance.

As a coach, he has never been stingy with pondering every action of the opponent's lineup with the darkest thoughts, because Beckenbauer has never made similar remarks before.

His heart can be punished!

Beckenbauer was depressed, and he didn't expect things to be so messed up. As a senior, he just confessed his views on Mark Qin's future development on the show.

Zidane is also depressed. These two days in South Africa, as long as he goes out, he will be blocked by the media to ask about this topic. On one side is Mark Qin, whom he admires, who is also a signing target of Real Madrid. On the other side is his motherland, France, who is simply a second wife It's hard to be an aunt, what can he say?

Ma Keqin himself is also depressed, you guys are talking about yours, why do you have to involve me? , What does this make him say? If you are humble, some people will say that he has no self-confidence, and if you are proud, some people will call him disrespectful to his predecessors.

Ma Keqin just wanted to give this group of people a big middle finger!

Tomorrow is the match day. Uruguay vs. South Korea's first 1/8 final game is at 2 pm, and their match against Ghana is at 8:30 pm. He doesn't want to bring these public opinions into the game.

So he went to discuss with Capello, and after obtaining his consent, he immediately wrote a reply on the matter on his social media: Mr. Beckenbauer and Mr. Zidane are both I respect and I am very respected senior, we are still very good friends, and I am very grateful to him for his praise, but I have said many times in previous interviews that I will always be Mark Qin’s number one, and I will never be anyone’s second!

I will always be me, the best me!
