"My mission has been completed and I will not continue."
"I have been thinking about this issue for some time. Now I have decided to put my family first. It makes me uncomfortable to be away from home for too long."
Larsson announced his decision to retire from the national team after the game!
Unable to withstand the crushing defeat of the Selecao, Larsson suffered as much as every Swedish player and fan, but the reality is ruthless.
If anyone is the first to know about Larson's decision, it should be Aldrich. Larson disclosed this decision to him as early as last season.
What he said was half-truth and half-false. It is right to put family first, and for the same reason as Aldridge planned to leave the head coaching position, Larson now has two children.
But the other half is that Larson wants to better contribute to the club at the end of his career.
Age forces him to no longer be able to maintain excellent form for both the national team and the club. The fatigue of traveling and traveling is a practical problem that cannot be ignored. Millwall pays attention to the combination of work and rest in player management, and like Vieira of Arsenal, after one season,
Although the number of club games is not as good as that of Millwall, Vieira represents the club and the national team and plays more than 80 games in a season. You can imagine how tired he will be when he comes to the World Cup. On the contrary, Ronaldinho comes
At the World Cup, he was in full swing.
No matter how reasonable the physical distribution of players is, it can never overcome the physical impact of the players' age.
Larsson announced his retirement from the national team. After the news came out, the entire Swedish football world was shocked. Many fans at Millwall applauded and welcomed him.
The Swedish team's coach and players all tried to retain Larsson, but they could not shake his determination to quit the national team. Even the president of UEFA was alarmed by this matter.
Why?
UEFA President Johansson is Swedish, and he certainly does not want to see Larsson, the Swedish team's number one star, leave the national team.
Johansson called Larson directly to persuade him to withdraw his decision, but Larson still did not waver in his will.
As a last resort, Johansson called Aldrich, hoping that Aldrich could persuade Larson, although he did not have high expectations. Because Larson quit the national team, Millwall will definitely benefit.
"Sir, my position is consistent with yours on Henrik's important decision. I also hope that he can play for the Swedish team for a few more years, at least to compete in one more major competition."
"Huh? Aldrich, do you really think so?"
"Yes, I will call Henrik later and try to communicate with him. I will try my best to persuade him to stay in the Swedish national team."
"Okay, okay. Thank you very much!"
"He is my player and this is my job."
After the phone conversation with Johansson, Aldrich immediately called Larson.
The Swedish team was already at the airport preparing to return home, and Larsson was a little surprised.
"Boss?"
"I just spoke with Johnsson on the phone."
"Did he ask you to persuade me?"
"No, I think he is right, Henrik, you should continue to stay in the Swedish team."
"Why? I understand my physical condition and I hope to devote the best of myself to Millwall in the last few years of my career."
"I understand. But, this is unfair to you."
"No, Millwall gave me everything and now it's time for me to give back to the club."
"Don't say that. You don't owe Millwall anything. On the contrary, I don't want Millwall to be a cage that binds you. You make me proud and make countless Millwall fans proud. You are already a club legend. Without you,
There will be no dazzling achievements and brilliance in the past, so you should stay in the Swedish team."
"Why?"
“Because that will make you even greater in the eyes of your fellow Swedes!”
...
Larsson failed to retire from the Swedish national team after all. In addition to the persuasion to stay by club coach Aldrich, UEFA President Johansson, all Swedish team coaches and players, the Swedish Prime Minister and all Swedish fans also called on him to stay.
, in the end, none of these people seemed to be able to impress Larson. Instead, it was his son who made Larson decide to continue wearing the national team jersey and fight for the country, aiming for the 2004 European Cup.
...
After the Brazilian team took the lead in advancing to the semi-finals, that night, the German team played another game against the American team that made the German media on tenterhooks.
The German team, whose offensive and defensive system is full of mistakes, cannot be said to have no advantages, but the American team looks stronger. Ballack's goal helped the German team defeat the American team 1:0.
However, the focus after the game was still Kahn, Kahn, the great lion Kahn!
Without Kahn, the German team might not have made it to the semi-finals. Without Kahn, the German team might have gone home long ago.
Beckenbauer said bluntly after the game: The American team performed better, the German team was lucky to win, and the American team deserved a penalty kick.
That was when Frings blocked the opponent's shot on the goal line with his hand, but the referee did not award a penalty kick. Beihuang thought it should be a penalty kick.
In the field of football, Beckenbauer's magnanimity is admirable. He is pragmatic, treats things rather than people, and is fair and objective in his stance on right and wrong.
The German media are still criticizing the German team. Although the team has entered the semi-finals, they cannot make the German media satisfied with the team. This kind of criticism and dissatisfaction has been surrounding the German team since their victory over Saudi Arabia in the group stage.
The next day, the England team went to Osaka, and they returned to the stadium where they had fought: Osaka Nagai Stadium.
This is another good news for the England team. They have two more days of rest than Turkey, and the competition venue is more familiar than the opponent. At the same time, the stadium atmosphere, with the cheering of Japanese fans, has surpassed Turkey in terms of momentum.
Their game was the last game of the quarter-finals and was played at night.
In the afternoon, another high-profile quarter-final match was held at the Gwangju World Cup Stadium in South Korea.
South Korea vs Spain.
After Portugal and South Korea met in the group stage, the World Cup really started to deviate from the normal track!
This game finally pushed the Korean and Japanese World Cup into an abyss of historical status, second only to Italy's "dictatorship" World Cup in 1934 and the "tyrant" Olympic Games in 1936. This World Cup has become a tragedy for the sport of football.
.It is extremely disgraceful, but the Korean team has historically reached the semi-finals, setting the best record for Asian teams in the World Cup. Perhaps only the Koreans themselves are proud of it. Who among the football people in other Asian countries will recognize the Korean team?
What about football status?
The Spanish team was disallowed two good goals, and two single-handed goals were disallowed for offside. The aboveboard robbery became more and more unscrupulous and blatant!
The Spanish team fell in a penalty shootout. After the game, the referee team immediately fled the court in despair. Spanish general Herguera wanted to beat the referee but was stopped by his teammates.
At that moment, except for the over four million people in South Korea who took to the streets to celebrate and dyed the country red, the whole of Europe was completely angry!
Some people have been talking about political victims before, but that was just a guess, but now, no one doubts it. This World Cup is full of dirty and ugly political games. The victims are players who truly love football and devote themselves to football.
Players who defend the honor of the national team!
In this game, the opposing sides are Europe, represented by UEFA, and the faction formed by FIFA and the AFC.
The conflict between UEFA and FIFA has been going on for a long time. This is the political pattern that has long been formed in the football circle. FIFA's strategy to suppress Europe is to win over other allies. Therefore, the World Cup came to Asia for the first time, so Portugal left first.
, Italy followed and left, and now, Spain has also left, and what replaces them is the only team in Asia, the host Tai Chi Tigers Korean team.
When doubts come for the first time, we naively think it is an accidental mistake; when doubts come for the second time, we carefully frown and start to speculate; when doubts come for the third time, we can no longer extinguish the fire of conscience!
In 2002, the first time the World Cup was held in Asia, Portugal was sent off two people in one game and had to fight with nine players; Italy had three goals blown off by the referee and linesmen in the four games they participated in.
"Legal" goal. In the last overtime game, midfielder Totti was convicted of diving and sent off with a red card; Spain scored a legitimate goal in the second half and was fouled. In overtime, the golden goal was ruled "out of bounds" by the linesman and was turned offside.
Success was ruled offside!
Helguera was still furious in an interview after the game: "If we had lost to Ireland on penalties that day, I would have nothing to say. Ireland played very well that day, but today I feel unwilling to lose to South Korea because they played
The result was not good, but the referee did not allow us to win the game. I think it is a shame. Now I just want to curse, the most filthy curse.
In other words, the most unbearable thing for me is that we lost to such an opponent. They had no strength, but they relied on referees to reach the semi-finals, beat Italy, and beat us. Now I very much identify with one of my most respected head coaches.
, that’s what the England national team coach Mr. Aldrich Hall said, South Korea has tarnished the World Cup, it’s so shameful!”
There are only three things to do!
Fifa and Korea have really done a great job!
They gave South Korea a miracle, a miracle belonging to Asia, but they angered the whole of Europe!
Needless to say, the Spanish media unanimously criticized FIFA, and Blatter had to stand up and admit that the referee team made a major error in law enforcement, but also added, "Referees are also human beings, and they make mistakes."
Who is he trying to fool?
The referees are no longer human beings. They have almost become the ancestors of South Korea. They regard South Korea as their own sons!
Once, twice, and three times, the three powerful European teams returned home, and it was the Korean team that took advantage one after another. The referees in these three games were all coincidental. Not only did they all make mistakes, but they also harmed the powerful European teams. The South Korean team won.
Li, what is the probability of a referee plus a linesman? But it happened to the Korean team. Why hasn’t the Korean team conquered all mankind?
Spanish fans collectively displayed a protest slogan: Robbery in broad daylight!
Marca: Football is being killed in South Korea!
Barcelona "Vanguard": South Korea relies on referees to create history!
German media: The referee ruined Spain again!
Brazilian media: The Korean team is the biggest beneficiary!
Mainstream European media voices: Spain is a victim of conspiracy.
Even Asian media, except for South Korea, media from other countries have expressed concerns and concerns.
The Korean team created a miracle and inspired the hearts of the Korean nation.
However, this miracle is based on challenging the "European aristocrats" who are the leaders in the football world. Some people worry that South Korea is digging a grave for Asian football!
Why?
The World Cup is not always held in Asia.
You didn't even have the guts to kill the European seed teams today without any shame. Do you think the "European aristocrats" will value Asian football?
Next time you go to European territory, won't they be more proficient at this trick than you are? How can they make the city as popular as you are?
Playing you to death is like a joke, and this will affect the entire Asian football.
No, the chairman of the next World Cup Organizing Committee and the German football emperor Beckenbauer said it directly after the South Korean team won the game.
"Germany will pay close attention to the fairness of the referee team in the next game!"
Why?
The Korean team will play Germany in the next game!
South Korea, do you still dare to be so shameless and continue to be so shameless? (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
