Chapter 582 Go to war! 2018 World Cup!

I finished my night shift at 9 o'clock, and it was already 4 o'clock when I woke up. The whole day passed like this...

——

When the Three Lions left mysterious Asia on a special plane and returned to London thousands of miles away, it was already the evening of June 8.

After two warm-up matches with little reference significance, Southgate and his team finally finalized their ideal main lineup.

Since Kane injured his heel when he was kicked by the South Korean team and needs to rest for at least two weeks, he can only sit on the sidelines during the group stage...

South Gate has also put aside its biggest worries and can concentrate on building its own offensive system around Lee Poirot. Sterling and Rashford, two fast horses from Manchester, will become Lee Poirot's strongest wingmen.

The expedition to Asia was too tiring. After returning to China, Nandaemun did not immediately lead the team to continue training. Instead, it gave everyone a two-day holiday to allow the players and their families to get together briefly until June 11.

We were all temporarily gathered together at the Cobham training base.

The reason why it was in Cobham, a suburb of London, rather than the George Park training base dedicated to the England national team, was because the main mission this time was not the training itself, but a special trip to receive Prince William's interview and condolences.

As the grandson of Queen Elizabeth and second in line to the British Empire (the first being his father Charles), Prince William is also the honorary chairman of the Football Association. It is also his job to cheer for the national team.

"I watched the live broadcasts of these two warm-up matches, and it was really exciting!"

After shaking hands with Li Polo, the prince specially said two more words:

"But that was just a warm-up match. I look forward to seeing your equally outstanding performance in Russia!"

Li Polo smiled and shook his head:

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Your Highness."

William was stunned for a moment, and the FA chairman Greg Clark, head coach Southgate and others who were with him suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

Li Polo shrugged his shoulders:

"In the main stage of the World Cup, it is difficult for me to score 10 or 11 goals in a single game!"

William laughed loudly, patted him on the back, turned slightly sideways, and left a photo for the camera team that could be used as the cover.

"Prince William had a cordial conversation with the leading players of the Three Lions, and the atmosphere was friendly and warm!"

That’s not all, Prince William also pointed in the air:

"I brought you a small gift and wish you success!"

Just hearing a roar, 11 white air waves appeared in the blue sky.

11 British Royal Air Force fighter planes started performing stunts in the sky above the training base!

Suddenly, the residents of Surrey County looked out from their homes to watch, and the area around the training base was filled with screams and exclamations.

Against the magnificent background, Prince William took a family photo with all the members of the England team, and then he said to Greg and Southgate with great anticipation:

"Hopefully we can meet again in Moscow."

——As the Honorary Chairman of the Football Association, he will only leave for the first line if the team reaches the semi-finals!-

Under the escort of the Royal Air Force, the Three Lions finally boarded a special plane bound for Moscow.

Before boarding the plane, Li Polo received a message from Cesc Fabregas:

"Man, I'm getting married! I'll hold a make-up wedding after the World Cup. You must come!"

He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

This guy Lao Fa and his current wife have always been living together!

It wasn't until the end of the season that they finally received the certificate after having given birth to three children...

Li Polo couldn't help but shook his head.

This old method is also a strange thing. When he was 24 years old, he had just broken up and quickly fell in love with a Lebanese beauty who was 12 years older than him. Then he decided to get together regardless of the opposition from the outside world. But until now, 7 years later,

Only then did the two officially enter the palace of marriage...

-

There are only a few days until the World Cup kicks off, and the world's major gambling institutions have already opened a variety of odds to attract hundreds of billions of euros in funds from around the world.

In terms of winning the championship, there is a three-legged situation. The last champion Germany, the five-star Brazil, and the Three Lions England all have winning odds between 1:4 and 1:5.

Followed closely by Spain at 1:7, France at 1:7.5, followed by Argentina at 1:10, Belgium at 1:13, and Portugal at 1:28...

Li Polo somewhat did not understand the "three pillars" situation.

The German team is the defending champion after all, and the lower limit has always been very high. It is normal for them to be the favorites to win.

But apart from Neymar, Brazil today has no phenomenal superstars. Why can they enter the first group?

So Li Polo publicly published his prediction results on his social media:

"Brazil has a profound foundation, and with famous Chelsea players like Willian and Luiz, we can definitely reach the top eight or even the semi-finals."

"Germany has seen a lot of change from old to new, and it should go home in the group stage."

As soon as this news was published, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among German public opinion!

[Even if our German tanks have gone through changes and reconstruction, how could the tenacious Germans be eliminated in the group stage? 】

[This kind of thing has never happened even in the most depressed period of history!]

[The British guys are all really ambitious, and none of them are good!]

As a member of the German team, Rudiger sent a private message to express his protest:

"We are both teammates, why are you so biased towards William and Lewis?"

"Am I not your good comrade-in-arms?"

Li Polo silenced him with just one sentence:

"Can you get a starting spot in the German team...?"

[Negative emotions from Rudiger, +55!]

Although Rudiger, who was drifting away, gradually became the backbone of Chelsea's defense in the second half of this season, he did not conquer German coach Loew at all!

The two main central defenders of the German team - Boateng and Hummels, are almost unstoppable main players!

Which one can he replace? -

In addition to winning the championship, of course there are also various odds such as the Golden Boot Award, assists leader, tournament MVP, etc.

In terms of the Golden Boot Award that attracts the most attention, the number one winner is of course Lee Polo, with 1:3.5.

Since England's opponents in the group stage are relatively weak, most people are optimistic that he can lock in the Golden Boot award after three rounds of group stage...

Tied for second place are Argentina's Messi and Brazil's Neymar, but their odds have reached 1:10, which is not at the same level as Lipolo.

After that, there is Griezmann of the French team, 1:13; Werner of the German team, 1:14...

As for Portugal's king Cristiano Ronaldo and England's second-leading striker Kane, they were both excluded from the top 10 due to injuries.

-

In order to lower England's chances of winning the championship, many media are frantically looking for reasons for them. The biggest problem is...

This Three Lions team is too young!

Since Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, Joe Hart and other famous veterans have withdrawn from the national team, Wilshere, Smalling, Luke Shaw have not been called up due to injuries or decline in form. Today's team

England is full of fresh faces.

The average age is less than 26 years old, and only five players - Henderson, Cahill, Welbeck, Jones, and Sterling - participated in the 2014 World Cup, and that World Cup was the darkest moment in the history of the Three Lions.

They were attacked from three sides by Italy, Uruguay, and Costa Rica. With a poor record of 0 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, they were at the bottom of the group and were eliminated in the group stage!

In addition to the lack of competition experience, the England team also has an embarrassing record:

Although the Three Lions have been promoted and packaged as "the strongest England in history" in every major competition in the past, since Lineker scored 4 goals in a single World Cup in 1990, in the past 28 years,

None of their players scored more than 2 goals in a single World Cup...

No matter Shearer, Sheringham, Fowler, Owen, Rooney, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard... none of them have broken this embarrassing record!

Without Lee Poirot, England, with Harry Kane as captain and offensive core, would have been called "the Three Lions with the bleakest star in history." Even the most optimistic supporters would only dare to say "

It would be great to reach the quarterfinals.”

But with Lee Polo, the Three Lions had set the minimum goal of this World Cup at the semi-finals a year ago!

Now, one year later, Lee Polo, who has reached a new peak in fame, can declare unabashedly:

"If I don't win this World Cup, I will retire where I am!"

Suddenly, the Three Lions Army became the target of public criticism!

[Negative sentiment from 31 teams and their supporters, +3.1 million 3100!]
