The World Cup semi-finals are approaching, and the four remaining teams are the center of attention. Every day's headlines are inseparable from the content of these four teams.
It's just that on the eve of this big battle, the messages conveyed by the media mouthpieces behind each team were quite subtle.
The German team has its eyes fixed on the referee team. It seems that they don't even emphasize the outcome of the finals. They have a posture of "win or lose doesn't matter, but they want to be fair and aboveboard".
The South Korean team aimed their hatred at England, and Hiddink also got into trouble with Aldridge. Two top coaches from Europe who had no complaints in the past were fighting in a foreign country. Hiddink relied on his boss to teach the juniors.
In a tone of voice, England's young marshal simply didn't bother to pay attention to it, while the European media who were watching the excitement advocated
Hiddink has the ability to return to Europe and go to the Premier League to compete with the young coach. Not to mention the Premier League, at least win the league championship in the five major leagues first. As for the Champions League championship more than ten years ago, the Korean media should stop bragging. The more they mention it,
And, just comparing numbers, how can it be compared with a young coach who can't hold the Champions League trophy in his hands?
Aldridge only felt that the media was getting more and more distorted. He never expressed any opinion on Hiddink's coaching ability. He was just annoyed that the other party was holding Korean money and occupying South Korea's turf. He really regarded himself as a Korean.
.
Aldridge is a fake foreign devil, but he has been coaching for eight years and has never said a good word about England to the outside world. He even becomes England's enemy from time to time, saying that England is dirty, that England is backward, that England is arrogant and self-defeating.
In the eyes of the young marshal, skin color, nationality, and race can all be distinguished. But football has no national boundaries. Maybe it’s self-comfort or self-hypnosis. It doesn’t matter. This is how he lives his life. Right is right and wrong is wrong.
, involving some factors outside the football circle to affect personal stance. Football becomes more complicated. If everyone in the world is like this, the beauty of football will become less and less.
Fleet Street didn't bother to argue with South Korea anymore. In their eyes, it was boring. The news was over in a day or two, so they just focused on the game between Germany and South Korea.
There are other things to do here in Fleet Street.
The bastard who came out of nowhere published a piece of fake news that shocked the world.
“English football hooligans invade the World Cup!”
At this critical juncture, Fleet Street did not even have the time to report on the local fans' expectations for England's World Cup journey. Football hooligans are a stain on English football and will never fail to be exploited by any enemy.
Various gangsters from Fleet Street traveled around Japan to get information. After interviewing officials from the Japanese judicial department at the airport, the matter was calmed down.
During the World Cup, there were indeed records of English football hooligans trying to come to Japan. However, almost all of them were stopped at the airport and refused entry.
Brazil, which seems to be the calmest among the top four, does not have any interference from the outside world. As for Inter Milan denying that Ronaldo will get the latest world-class contract, it has no interference at all for the Brazilian national team.
It’s just that the Brazilian team has always been an important force in the World Cup. It is no exaggeration to say that the Brazilian team belongs to the leading role, and their pressure comes from Brazil!
The Brazilian team is not England. As long as England participates in the World Cup, Fleet Street will preach that they are competing for the championship. But in fact, they fell in the top 16, top 8, and top 4. It will not bring a big blow. People are used to it.
It's one thing to brag, but to say that a large number of people will criticize the team in every possible way if they fail to win the championship is completely false.
But what about Brazil?
Four years ago, Brazil won runner-up in France. The whole country was shocked, and Congress even held a hearing!
Not to mention that Brazilians discuss the Maracana tragedy year after year. Oh, it was their national disaster day, a national disaster day defined by the failure of football competition.
You can imagine how great the pressure from the country for them to win the championship will be due to the near-perfect performance and state of the Brazilian team after 5 games this year!
The semi-finals kicked off, with Germany and South Korea playing first, and Brazil and England playing a day later.
The German team finally eliminated the Korean team with Ballack's goals. Ballack's golden goals in the quarter-finals and semi-finals sent the German team to the World Cup finals, but he himself, because of his accumulation of
Not being able to appear on the final stage due to a yellow card, the soul of Germany's new generation midfielder shed tears after returning to the locker room after the game.
The Korean team did not perform the "magic" again. Before the start of the World Cup, Italy and Spain were ranked ahead of the German team in comprehensive strength evaluation. In the end, it was the German team that prevented the Taichi Tigers from elevating the magic into an epic. South Korea advocated a very powerful South Korea.
The team only took 4 shots in 90 minutes.
After the game, the European media applauded, and mainstream media in other continents also agreed that the World Cup was normal.
It's not that everyone doesn't like the story of upsets and underdogs' counterattacks. It's more exciting and yearning in the football circle. As many people admire the strong, there are as many people who hate the strong. Millwall, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, the three Serie A heroes,
Could it be that there are strong men with countless fans, but there are countless people who are looking forward to their defeat every day.
But everyone has a conscience and will be applauded if they counter-attack based on their ability. For example, Senegal, if someone steals the victory by resorting to dirty tricks, they will be despised by the world.
In the public opinion after the game, the mainstream Korean media’s evaluation of the Korean team was roughly: Even though they lost, it was an honor.
Zheng Mengzhun, on the other hand, became so angry that he began to accuse the referee team, looking up the referee's family tree, and then criticized FIFA because the referee's ancestors have German ancestry...
The next day, the England team will return to their old place.
Saitama World Cup Stadium.
Starting from the afternoon, the area around here was filled with water. Fans from England and Brazil became the mainstream groups, mixed with local fans who were not weak in power. The prelude to a peak battle was about to begin slowly.
Aldridge was sitting in the bus. It was quiet inside. Every player was adjusting their state and preparing for the game that started in the evening.
Although the Brazilian team has one more day of rest than them, Aldridge believes that in terms of physical fitness, the England team will not be worse than their opponents.
The Brazilian team played in the Korean Division in the group stage, and then went to the Japanese Division to play in the knockout rounds.
The England team has been in the Japanese division from the beginning of the group stage until today. If it goes to South Korea to play, then it will lose the game in the evening and go to South Korea to compete with South Korea for third place.
I believe that the Korean media is happy to see this result.
In terms of venue environment, this is the second time the England team has come to the Saitama World Cup Stadium, which is slightly more favorable than the Brazilian team.
Overall, the external factors are roughly the same between the two sides.
That is to say, the decisive factor affecting the game will be the competitive factors on the field!
This is a good sign. As a coach, Aldrich is happy to compete with the Brazilian team under such circumstances. No one takes advantage of anyone, and he has no regrets when he loses. There is no need to find reasons to comfort himself.
As night falls, the Saitama World Cup Stadium is packed with people. The England team has reached the semi-finals, and even England's wives are also in the limelight in Japan. A group of beautiful girls will make headlines when they go to the street to buy something. Among them, Victoria Beckham is the
She has the air of a big sister. She is very popular, and she alone holds more than eight points.
This much-anticipated semi-final can be called the pinnacle showdown of the World Cup so far. The ladies of England have already occupied the seats in the stands with a good view of the game. Beckham and her son seem to have changed their gender today. They are smiling so much.
The woman next to her who also had two sons chatted very happily. It turned out that two hot girls gathered in Japan, and Melanie also came to Japan from Europe. The people wearing England jerseys beside her were not Bert and Er.
You?
Not only have women become famous, but also children have gradually become famous with the attention. Beckham's son has a good relationship with the two young masters of the Hall family, and they are friends who can play together.
Aldridge and Beckham.
Victoria and Melanie.
Plus the next generation.
This will undoubtedly attract media attention and hype.
...
Aldridge stood in the locker room. For some reason, he felt very relaxed now.
His thinking has become very simple and he doesn't need to consider the gains and losses. This is probably because England has reached the semi-finals and he has already done his homework on "political achievements".
All that's left is to return to the competition itself and go all out to defeat the opponent.
Having been in the war-torn European football world for eight years, although he values victory and defeat just as much as he did eight years ago, he no longer has the fear of failure.
If you lose, you lose. If England's skills are inferior and they lose, why can't you accept it?
This is not a kind of self-consolation, but Aldrich's state of mind has truly reached the level of being unfazed by honor or disgrace.
When the players returned to the locker room after warming up, Aldridge carefully observed each player's expression.
What makes him gratified is that he can see the confidence and persistence in the eyes of these players.
The England team's temperament has become natural. They played five games in the World Cup and won all five. This is also a process of temperament transformation and sublimation.
If they didn't have this self-confidence and the persistence to go further, perhaps they would be nervous, trembling, or even unabashedly afraid and apprehensive at this time.
The calmness and thinking that Aldrich instilled in them gave them a mentality of not being afraid of the strong, and it was also a quality accumulated from winning battles one after another.
They arranged their jerseys, sneakers and equipment, stood up one after another, and stared at Aldridge with keen eyes.
Aldridge said solemnly: "Today, we will face the strongest opponent in the past two years, a Brazilian team with super offensive firepower that has exceeded the limits of our understanding! If we want to defeat them, we must rely on two points. First,
One, composure, and two, unity. What I ask of you is that from the moment the whistle blows to start the game, you must be absolutely focused, stay completely on the court, make any decision decisively, and obey my command.
Can it be done?"
"able!"
No one hesitated or hesitated, the whole locker room was roaring, and the echo seemed to burst the eardrums.
The entire England team, whether starting or on the bench, answered in unison.
Aldridge waved his hand and said loudly: "Fight with Brazil, no regrets! England, let's go!"
Jenson opened the door to the locker room, and Aldridge walked out first. The Three Lions behind him all held their heads high and looked majestic! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
