Reborn Almighty Life

Gu Fei and Sir Alex Ferguson were sitting in the most luxurious box at Wembley. Next to him was Prince William. This box was also the place most frequently visited by the director's cameras in this game.

Compared to Prince William, who was ashen-faced, Gu Fei even found it a bit funny. At this time, the English people finally fully understood the feeling of "defeating if there is a draw" for the Chinese men's football team.

The title of "European Chinese Team" is not given for granted. In the case of qualifying after a draw, England's superstars were in no condition. They were like sleepwalking on the court. Compared with Croatia, they were not at the same level at all!

The British media have long figured out the nature of the players. These big names who are accustomed to being favored in the Premier League like to do the opposite. They think they can win the game by getting together on the grass in the park. The reason is

Their so-called reputation is simply stupid!

Under Croatia's resolute defensive counterattack tactics, the Three Lions' offense and defense were unbalanced. The big-name stars who dominated the Premier League seemed to have their feet filled with lead and were as clumsy as penguins!

England was in chaos and showed no tactical literacy at all. McClaren even sat dumbfounded in his position, his eyes blank, and the players on the field were completely unable to form an effective operating system.

In the first 14 minutes, Croatia led 0-2 quite easily. Such a poor start shocked the world and can be called the most shameful record in the history of the England team.

At this moment, if McLaren takes action immediately, there is actually a chance to save his own destiny. He changes from the 4-5-1 formation on the field to an attacking 4-4-2, allowing Dee to sit on the bench.

Fortunately, he was ordered to do something in danger.

But perhaps he was also stunned by the bad facts about the England team. McLaren did not take any action, staring blankly at everything on the field with pale and empty eyes.

As time passed by mercilessly, the 11 England players on the field gradually began to lose control of their emotions. After Gerrard fell in the front of the opponent's penalty area, he yelled at the referee needlessly and almost received a yellow card warning. His skills and movements also gradually began to lose control.

Deformed, every player on the three lines seems to be afraid of taking the responsibility for failure, and one by one becomes afraid to take the initiative to touch the ball...

The anxious and silent England fans in the Wembley stands were in sharp contrast to the cheering Croatian fans. The occasional singing of "God Save the Queen" by England in the audience also seemed weak. Throughout the first half, England's only team was Wright.

One of Phillips' shots hit the goal frame, and after falling behind 0:2, England could no longer launch an effective attack. Lampard was nowhere to be seen, and Crouch repeatedly made headers in the opponent's penalty area.

"That's stupid!" Sir Alex Ferguson cursed in his mouth. According to this score, England will be eliminated and miss the 2008 European Championship finals, because Russia has already achieved a 1:0 lead in another game.

According to the real-time standings, Russia has overtaken England by one point and jumped to second place in Group E, firmly controlling its own destiny.

Although Sir Alex Ferguson is a Scotsman, he has lived in England for a long time and is also a subject of the Queen of England. What's more, he is also an English knight awarded a knighthood by the Queen of England.

Although the old man usually criticized the England national team's preparations in the media for affecting Manchester United, when the team was in trouble, the old man was really anxious.

From the perspective of the old man, he can naturally see that the biggest problem with the Three Lions in front of him is McLaren, his former right-hand man!

When he served as the assistant coach of Manchester United, McLaren's performance was still very good. He paid good attention to the details of team preparation and tactical training. However, after taking the position of head coach, McLaren's weaknesses were infinitely magnified!

Everyone says that being the head coach of the England men's football team is as difficult as the Prime Minister of England. This is not just talk!

England's developed media industry has put the position of England national team coach in the spotlight, and the English people's extreme fanaticism for football makes this position not so easy to take.

Especially in recent years, the Premier League has a tendency to become the world's number one league. The big stars of the England national team have become more and more famous and influential in the world, and the England coach has been put under the microscope of the media.

Eriksen left the England national team in 2006. In addition to his "poor record," his inability to withstand the pervasive harassment of media reporters, especially paparazzi, in his personal life was also an important reason.

At this point, Ferguson had no choice but to feel sad. His most proud disciple was still sitting on the bench, helpless.

Seeing that McLaren did not make the slightest change, and did not even have the courage to stand up and command the team, the old coach Venables who was sitting on the coaching bench left the seat angrily. He could no longer bear the scene in front of him!

The coach's departure made the atmosphere even colder. The Wembley audience and the tens of millions of England fans in front of the TV felt colder than the icy rain in the late autumn in the British Isles!

As the referee from Austria blew the whistle to end the first half, the Croatian fans in the stands were elated. They never dreamed that their team would actually play a dream first half.

As for the fans in England, they have not yet recovered from the two conceded goals. In their expectation, the opponent has appeared, and they have no desire. Shouldn't the two sides play a tacit understanding of the game in harmony and join hands to qualify?

Those mud-legged people who live in the mountains of Central Europe actually tried their best in such a game. The score of 0:2 was so dazzling on the advanced electronic screen system of the new Wembley Stadium.

At this time, England fans were a little confused. They used to feel this kind of emotion only in the World Cup and the quarter-finals of the European Championship. Now, in the last round of the European Championship qualifiers, this bad feeling

It’s so sad to come across!

McLaren failed to solve the double-moral problem left by "Old Fox" Eriksen, and instead summoned himself the "walking dead" and "bewildered" comments. Henry Winter after England was tied with Israel

, said, “To advance to the finals this time, the coach and the team must do more than what Beckham did when he sent England to the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and the 2004 European Cup in Portugal.

."

Although Eriksson was scolded by others, the Swede had a 5-1 victory over Germany to support his appearance. What did McLaren have, could it be a 5-0 defeat of Andorra?

The current 0:2 has pushed England to the edge of the cliff, and there is a possibility of falling into the abyss at any time!

"Gu, do we still have a chance in the second half?" When Prince William asked this question, he knew he was unsure.

Even though Prince William has been calling the silver spoon since he was born, he still does not have much influence on the England national team. The England national team will not be affected just because His Royal Highness the Prince is sitting in the box at Wembley.

get well.

Prince William's question is just a helpless expression from an ordinary fan!

"David!" Gu Fei pointed at Beckham who was appearing on the big screen and said in a affirmative tone!

Based on Gu Fei's understanding of Beckham, the player with the strongest mental attributes in the current England men's football team is none other than Beckham. This is the result of his nearly 10-year roller coaster career starting from his red card in 1998.

of.

Whether it was the full-scale explosion after becoming the public enemy of England, leading Manchester United to win the Triple Crown in 1999, and scoring two assists in the most painful moment of Camp Nou, or the goal worth hundreds of millions at Wembley Stadium in 2001

Sterling's direct free kick goal, or the perfect return of the king in Real Madrid in 2007, all show Beckham's strong willpower that ordinary European players cannot match.

Perhaps, if Beckham comes on in the second half, the game will turn around. If McLaren insists on his opinion, England will be in danger.

There were only more than 10,000 Croatian fans reveling in the silent Wembley Stadium. For this war-torn country, football has become their greatest comfort!

In the late 1980s, the political situation in Croatia became increasingly tense, and the conflicts between Croats and Serbs continued to heat up. In the first referendum in Croatia in 1990, the victory of the Croatian Democratic Union, which advocated autonomy, further intensified the conflicts between the ethnic groups.

contradiction.

On May 19, 1991, Croatia held an independence referendum. Under the resistance of the Serbs, the party supporting Croatia's independence won with an absolute advantage. On June 25, the Croatian Parliament passed a resolution declaring independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Bloody conflicts immediately broke out between the ethnic groups, and the Croatian War broke out.

After years of war, the Croatian men's football team led by superstars such as Suker made a splash at the World Cup in France. It entered the semi-finals for the first time and won third place. Suker also scored 6 goals.

The goal became the golden boot of that World Cup.

In 1998, Croatia met four teams: Argentina, Germany, France and the Netherlands. Croatia's reputation and experience were obviously not as good, but they made up for their individual disadvantages as a whole and got 2 wins and 2 losses.

In the semi-final against the host France, Davo Suker's goal once brought the lead. French defender Thuram's iron tree bloomed with two flowers, helping the Gallic Roosters to reverse course.

Having played 142 games on behalf of the Azzurri in his career, Thuram scored these two goals in total. The Frenchman's difficulty and luck in winning are self-evident.

Since that World Cup, Croatia has gradually entered the center of the world football stage. A steady stream of superstars has emerged, making this small country's team extremely competitive. Today's game is a clear proof!

For the cheering Croatian fans, it doesn't matter even if they lose the game in the second half, they have already enjoyed too much happiness at their opponent's home court anyway!

Of course, the Croatian players who returned to the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game didn't think so. After all, why should they lose if they can win?

…………

The 15-minute intermission was fleeting, and England fans were pleasantly surprised to find that former captain Beckham took the field right after the start of the second half. This gave the English a little more morale!

When he shouted loudly for his teammates to run on the field, he knew very well that this was the conspiracy of coach McLaren. Even if he became the sinner of the team, Beckham had to bite the bullet and play!

"When Beckham is sent in at this time, McLaren's intention to shirk responsibility is very obvious!" Wong Tai Sin, as a senior football commentator, also saw McLaren's intention at a glance.

"McLaren is an amateur in commanding operations, but he has many methods!" Teacher Zhang Lu laughed twice and said: "Beckham has to be good at it or not. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, he may be in trouble in the future.

The chance of appearing in the World Series is almost zero!"

People who are familiar with Beckham know his obsession with the European Championships and the World Cup. The scene in 2006 when he watched the team being eliminated by Portugal on penalty kicks due to physical exhaustion may be the most regretful thing about Beckham's career.

moment. The scene of Beckham bursting into tears at that time has even become a classic scene of the World Cup in Germany!

In order to return to the mainstream European leagues, Beckham is even seeking to return to European teams to participate in competitions. When McLaren digs a hole like this, Beckham can only bite the bullet and jump down.

"However, Beckham's appearance did boost the morale of the England players, and the players became much more active in running on the field!" Wong Tai Sin saw the problem very accurately. After the start of the second half, England gradually took the initiative on the field.

The balance of the game is tilting towards England.

When Beckham came on the field, the 90,000 England fans stood spontaneously in the heavy rain. The thunderous applause was moving. People were looking forward to Beckham's performance in the 2001 Old Trafford World Cup qualifier against Greece.

Tom successfully scored a free kick in the last minute to help England qualify for the World Cup in Korea and Japan. The scene was magical once again.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Defoe fell in front of the goal. The referee blew the whistle and awarded England a penalty kick. Judging from the replay, the Croatian defender's jersey only lightly scratched past Defoe's shoulder. The penalty kick was obviously quite far-fetched.

, Lampard went to the penalty spot. The Chelsea general who missed the penalty kick against Portugal in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Germany successfully hit it this time.

After that, Beckham finally showed his great light and made a perfect cross from the right, helping Crouch to tie the score to 2-2. If the same score is maintained until the end, England will join hands with Croatia to qualify.

But at this time, Croatia's defensive counterattack was still as unyielding as ever, and it incredibly took the lead again 3-2! At this time, the England team, whose confidence had completely dropped to the abyss, had no fighting spirit in the game and watched helplessly as the defeat came.

The rain was getting heavier, and the tens of thousands of England fans standing in the rain could no longer tell whether their faces were tears or rain. They stood numbly, watching their team gradually slide into the abyss, but

Nothing can be done!

On the court, except for a few players such as Beckham, the other players in England were already like zombies!

The sky was overcast, as if God was weeping for the tragic fate of the Three Lions!
