Chinese champion

Chapter 448 Before the Top of the World Knockout

Lagerbeck is already starting to feel anxious now. The situation in the Sino-British battle over there has been quiet since England recovered a goal just now, but here the Swedish team has nothing to do with Ecuador, which is dedicated to defending. What I am afraid of is that the Chinese team will put themselves together at the last moment, such as letting England tie before the end of the game, and then it will be too late for me to cry.

On the field, Ibrahimovic hit the goal and hit the plane after a forced breakthrough. Lagerbeck shook his head. It seems that even the best striker under him has become anxious, which is not a good thing.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion behind Lagerbeck, and Lagerbeck turned around, just in time to see the assistant coach get up from the ground and stumble towards this side. Because I ran in a hurry just now, I fell a hand.

Before he got close, the assistant coach shouted with all his strength: "Pei Wei scored a goal! The Chinese team leads England 3:1!"

"Oh--"

The Swedish team's bench immediately burst into cheers, and soon the cheers spread to the stands. It seems that the fans also got the news!
Lagerbeck, who was so happy that he didn't know what to do, suddenly came to his senses. The expansion of the Chinese team's lead to two goals only means that England will lose this game, but it does not mean that the Swedish team will definitely qualify!

He pushed aside the crowd around him and yelled at the absent-minded players on the field: "What are you doing in a daze? Continue the game! If we accidentally miss a goal... then we will be the ones who cry!"

Lagerbeck's roar woke up the Swedish players immersed in joy. Indeed, England's defeat is very beneficial to the Swedish team's qualifying, but it must be based on one premise, that is, the Swedish team won the game!
Now the Swedish team is only one goal ahead, if they are equalized at the last moment...and this is England's only hope!
Lagerbeck immediately began to direct the players to strengthen their defense, but Ecuador, which took a breath, started to attack instead. Whether they can tie the score at the last moment is England's last hope.

On the other ground, all England were praying, but it was clear that God was not on England's side today, and Ecuador's more errand-like attack didn't make the slightest difference in the score.

As the game time draws closer, the desperation in the hearts of the English people grows.

at last……

As the referees on the two venues blew the whistle for the end of the game, the commentators all over the world uttered a voice:
goodbye!England!

All the players in England were paralyzed on the ground. They couldn't accept the fact that they had countless world-class players, but they were defeated in the group stage!
They didn't play badly, but the loss in the last game cost them the entire cup!
The group stage will be eliminated! First time in 52 years!
Reminiscent of the argument that England's media considered "the most powerful England team in history" before the expedition, the corresponding ending is so ironic!

Among the members of this England team, Owen is 30 years old, Gerrard is also 30 years old, Lampard is 32 years old, Terry is 30 years old, Hargreaves is 29 years old... It is almost certain that this World Cup will be their last World Cup.

Saying goodbye in this way is undoubtedly cruel.

However, this is football, and this is the cruel world of football.

Rooney has been crying for a long time. In the last World Cup, it was because of his impulsiveness that England was eliminated by Portugal. This cup was originally when he rectified his name, but who knew he was eliminated in the group stage!
Gerald bit his lower lip; he wasn't crying.

What has he not seen?For the sake of loyalty, he stayed in Liverpool. Although he won a European Champions Cup, as the best midfielder in England, he has not even won a Premier League title. He has participated in three World Cups, but has not entered Even if it was the top four... He had already been hit a lot, enough to make his heart extremely strong.

"Stephen, I want to swap jerseys with you, is that okay?"

A voice came from behind, and Gerald turned around, just in time to see Pei Wei.

In Pei Wei's eyes, he only saw respect, admiration and sympathy, but he didn't see the hypocrisy and pretentiousness of exchanging jerseys with others after winning.

"It's a pity that England was eliminated...but this is football." While taking the jersey from Gerrard, Pei Wei said softly: "...I'm sorry."

Gerald looked at Pei Wei in a daze for a while, then suddenly laughed: "There is no need to say sorry... I don't mean to hate you. This is football. You have won a deserved victory. I don't want to beg The opponent let us live."

He smiled happily and said, "I guess I will never have the chance to play against you in the World Cup...but in the Champions League, I still have a chance to get revenge! Also, tell Li Min that at Liverpool's training ground Come on, I'll make him look good!"

Pei Wei looked at the back of Gerrard leaving, and murmured: "This is an opponent worthy of respect..."

****************************************
The first strong team to leave: England out! "

After the Group D game, the world's major media have used such headlines as headlines, and this news is shocking enough: the birthplace of modern football, the 1966 World Cup champion, the best league in the world One of the national teams cultivated, the European seed team England was eliminated in the group!

The Chinese team, the creator of this incident, has attracted more widespread attention.

The head coaches of all qualifying teams look at He Jin differently. He Jin has always been regarded as a typical representative of Chinese coaches. He sticks to the rules and is too superstitious about the personal strength of stars. sheep.

But after this game, all the arguments that underestimated He Jin were overturned!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is nothing wrong with O'Neill's formation before this game, and it can even be said to be quite good. Strengthening the strength of the midfielder is obviously to restrain the strongest center of the Chinese team, and the offense is stuck. Hu Yong, defensively freeze Pei Wei. If the Chinese team's lineup in this game is still the previous [-], it will definitely be difficult to resist England's absolute advantage in the middle.

But He Jin broke all O'Neill's wishful thinking with just one change in personnel, and decisively shifted his attacking power from the center to the two wings, just hitting the weakest part of England. The first two goals were both The goal was scored after a successful breakthrough from the side. From this aspect, He Jin's change of formation can be called a brilliant hand.

Other teams that may encounter the Chinese team are thanking England and Sweden. If it weren't for them, it would be impossible to force the real tactical play of the Chinese team.Now everyone can see that the Chinese team's [-] in the first two games of the group was originally to confuse other opponents, but now it has been exposed in advance in the group stage, and other strong teams with enough time can play well. Consider how to deal with the new formation of the Chinese team.

With the end of all other group games, it was discovered that the only upset in the group stage was the elimination of England, the seeded team!

Group A is South Africa and Colombia, Group B is Argentina and Czech Republic, Group C is France and Spain, Group E is Germany and Cameroon, Group F is Netherlands and Portugal, and Group G has a small upset. In addition to the seed team Italy qualifying, the Uruguay team, which was originally ranked last in the group, defeated Mexico 3:2 in the last game, eliminating this team that has entered the top [-] of the World Cup for four consecutive times. There is no doubt that Brazil is the first in the group, and Denmark won the last [-] admission ticket after drawing with Ukraine.

At the same time, the eighth-final matches are released, South Africa VS Czech Republic, Colombia VS Argentina, France VS Sweden, China VS Spain, Germany VS Portugal, Netherlands VS Cameroon, Italy VS Denmark, Brazil VS Uruguay.

********************************************
"My God! My God!"

Early in the morning, Pei Wei was woken up by Zhu Jun's screams.

"What are you doing! You can't sleep well!" Pei Wei rubbed his eyes, sat up and said angrily.

"Damn! You can still sleep! Do you know how miserable we are going to be?" Zhu Jun jumped out of bed all at once, regardless of his bare feet: "Look at the eighth-final matchup table No?"

"I watched it yesterday!" Pei Wei shook his head, trying to wake himself up: "Isn't it just against Spain? They may not be better than us, right? Why are you so worried? It made me sleep hard early in the morning..."

"I'm not worried about Spain alone." Zhu Jun smiled bitterly and handed over the match list: "Let's take a look at the rules of the match."

Pei Wei took it and squinted his eyes for a long time, but still couldn't see why: "South Africa vs. Czech Republic, Colombia vs. Argentina... what, isn't it just these few matches? I'm almost recited."

Looking at the nonchalant Pei Wei, Zhu Jun shook his head helplessly: "Do you know who will be our next opponent if we win against Spain?"

"Who is it?" Pei Wei asked.

"Our game is the 52nd game, and the winner will face the winner of the 51st game..."

Pei Wei took up the conversation: "In the 51st match, the two sides are the first in Group B and the second in Group A. It is very likely that it will be Argentina... Isn't that what it is?"

Zhu Jun's eyes widened: "You know?"

"Of course I know!" Pei Wei made a disdainful expression: "Also, if we can beat Argentina and enter the semi-finals, our opponent in the semi-finals is likely to be France... You can tell at a glance, and Need research?"

"Damn! Then you sleep so peacefully?" Zhu Jun's eyes were about to pop out.

"Can you solve the problem if you can't sleep?" Pei Wei stretched his waist and asked curiously: "Didn't you never care about the game? Football is a game, isn't this your usual motto? When do you also play for the game?" Can't sleep anymore?"

Zhu Jun blushed, and argued forcefully, "Who... who said that? I slept well yesterday! But... how can this be the World Cup!"

Pei Wei laughed. He stood up and patted Zhu Jun on the shoulder: "Haha, there is no need to argue. I am very happy that you can do this. I have always thought that you lack a sense of urgency on the court. It is good to win the game." , Losing is no big deal... Am I right? Now that you are nervous, it means that you have started to pay attention to the game. Believe me, as long as you pay attention to the game, you will be better than me. I always think so. "

After saying this, Pei Wei went straight to the bathroom to wash up. Zhu Jun was stunned for a while, then jumped up suddenly.

"Damn, actually put on a senior look to teach me! Look at the trick!"

"Oh! Day, don't splash me with water! You can't be responsible for catching a cold!"

"Why can't I take responsibility, you are not here, I still lead the team to kill Spain! Isn't it just Ramos, he was still in the youth team when I was in Sevilla! See how I teach this little guy !"

"Damn it! It's such a shame...I'm the captain! Stop it!"

"I hit the captain!"

**************************************
"Damn it! What did you two do! You are actually fighting in the room!" He Jin looked at the two people with bruised noses and swollen faces in front of him, and was furious: "You are such a big person, but you are still fighting! Aren't you Is the relationship good? How did you stumble and fight? Did you hurt your foot?"

"No." Pei Wei, whose left eye was blue, rubbed his face: "We were joking, how could we hurt our feet... But Zhu Jun, why are you attacking so hard, my eyes are blue!"

Zhu Jun, who looked several times more miserable than him, covered his face: "Damn! You still have the face to say, my young master was almost disfigured by you! He Tou, you have to make decisions for me..." Zhu Jun put on a pear blossom with rain , Vomited over a person.

"Okay, okay." He Jin waved his hand impatiently: "As long as you don't hurt your legs, I don't care how you beat me. It doesn't matter if you beat me like a pig's head, as long as it doesn't affect the game! Go to the team doctor's room for treatment first. Let people see what it looks like!"

Seeing Pei Wei and Zhu Jun walking away, He Jin shook his head helplessly, and Feng Yu smiled wryly at the side: "The two of them... have no problem, right? Don't really make opinions out, reduce the fighting power Ah, and if word got out, it would be a big scandal."

"Don't worry, the two of them don't have conflicts that easily..." He Jin had a smirk on his face: "But this matter... maybe there is something that can be used..."

Feng Yu was taken aback: "How to use it?"

"Find a few familiar reporters to take a few photos, and say that Pei Wei and Zhu Jun had a dispute on the training ground, and the two sides fought... Yes, just write like this, the more exaggerated the better, and say that the two have already started Stop talking, it's so noisy..."

"You can think of such a shameless thing?" Feng Yu gave him a sideways look: "Don't be self-defeating."

"I can't be clumsy." He Jin smiled openly: "It's fine to let the smoke confuse others, anyway, there is no loss if you fail."

"You are such a beast... Team members, you must remember in the future, you can't be too hard on being a human..."

******************************************
Sure enough, as expected, when the sensational report "Chinese team captain Pei Wei and main force Zhu Jun had a disagreement on the training ground, they had a big fight, and they both lost their lottery", it immediately caused an uproar. While doubting the authenticity of this news, everyone knows that Pei Wei and Zhu Jun have a good relationship. How could such two good friends fight during the World Cup?Are you kidding me?
However, when a reporter secretly photographed the glorious images of these two heroes of the Chinese team with bruises and swollen faces, most people began to waver—not to mention, the injuries cannot be faked, right?
Then someone with trouble brought out Zhu Jun's wife. Before dating Zhu Jun, Fang Zhiling, the queen of Asia, expressed her great affection for Pei Wei in an interview. People are beginning to be dubious - as a man, what is the most intolerable thing?Of course it's his wife who has a crush on other men!How many good friends throughout the ages have been at odds because of this?

Even Aragones, who scoffed at the rumor at first, began to mutter, could it be true?If it is true, then it is really called God Help Spain.

Aragones found Manzano, and asked straight to the point: "How credible do you think the rumor that Pei Wei and Zhu Jun are at odds is credible?"

"I don't know..." Manzano thought about it for a long time, but he came up with a conclusion that almost made Aragones' nose crooked.

"Why do you say that?" Aragones asked calmly. If he hadn't known that Manzano was not a person who spoke casually, he would have poured a glass of water over.

"I know Pei very well. He is a great young man. He has never had any scandals in Mallorca for three years. This is a very young man who already has considerable fame and wealth. It is very difficult for someone who is not a person. I believe he will not have any unclear relationship with the lady surnamed Fang... But I don't know Zhu Jun, because Miss Fang knew Zhu Jun He did express his affection for Pei Wei in the public media before, maybe it was for hype at the time, but if Zhu Jun was a relatively narrow-minded person, he would definitely be worried about this matter... After all, a man would not would be indifferent to such a thing.”

"That's true..." Aragones nodded: "But I'm not familiar with Zhu Jun... Judging from the rumors, what kind of person is this Zhu?"

"Before he got married, he was a famous playboy in La Liga." Manzano answered quickly. As a coach who has been in La Liga for many years, he knows the rumors of some famous players: "Especially in La Liga. In Sevilla, according to Baptista, he was the kind of person who would change a woman every week... But women don't seem to affect his performance on the court and his relationship with his teammates He has always been nice, so he should be regarded as a romantic person who is easy to be liked."

Aragones nodded: "It seems that this news is fake. It is impossible for a playboy to pay too much attention to such things."

"No, I didn't say anything." Manzano shook his head: "In the first two years of his marriage, that is, the year he met Miss Fang, he suddenly restrained himself. There have never been any scandals, and "Marca" even made a special survey on this matter, and more than half of the readers think that the reason is that his words are no longer good... Haha!"

"Cough...cough cough!" Aragones was drinking water just now, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but spit out a sip of water, his face flushed with suffocation: "Gretterio! Do you want to kill me? Don't take advantage of it next time." Tell jokes while I drink water!"

"I'm sorry, teacher!" Manzano rushed up and patted his back and rubbed his chest. Aragones finally recovered. Fortunately, the old man is still in good health, otherwise he would become the first football owner who was choked to death because of listening to a joke. Go down in history as a coach.

"In this way, the news may be true...There is only one reason for a playboy to lose his love: he has found his true love, which makes him lose interest in other women...Is that so? ?” Aragones asked Manzano.

"From a psychological point of view, yes." Manzano replied in the affirmative, you know, he has a master's degree in psychology.

"This shows that Zhu loves his wife very much..." Aragones walked back and forth a few steps: "If you explain it this way, it will work, because I love my wife very much, so I started to have feelings for Pei who had an affair with his wife." Opinion, if this is the case, the credibility of this news is still very high...Gretterio, it seems that this is an opportunity we can take advantage of."

The two Spanish coaches immediately began discussing how to use this incident to increase the team's chances of winning, but what they didn't know was...the Chinese team was stationed.

"Let go of me! I'm going to kill that guy He Jin! He even made a fuss about my dear Zhiling! I don't care, even if I'm expelled from the national team, I'll find him to settle the score!" Wu Qi, Li Min waited for Zhu Jun, who was hugged by several big men, to struggle hard.

"Oh, don't be like this. The coach didn't expect it. At first, he just said that the two of us were fighting! I only blame those reporters. The associations are too rich... Besides, doesn't she care about Zhiling?" Pei Weihao Comforting with kind words.

"I don't care, I'm going to kill him... Woo, let me go..."
