Chapter 338 What All Players Have in Common

Jamaica is a small South American team. They joined the National Football Federation in 1962. The only trip to the World Cup was the 1998 World Cup in France. They were in Group H with Argentina, Japan, Jamaica, and Croatia. However, due to their weak strength , failed to break out of the group stage.

England, on the other hand, are one of the top teams in the world and a frequent visitor to the World Cup.

The two teams are not on the same level, and it is not a level of competition at all.

But almost everyone did not expect that the gap between the two teams could be so large.

13 minutes!
A football game is a long-term event of nine to 10 minutes, and it only started in 13 minutes. In many games, it was difficult to score goals, but the England team scored three goals in 13 minutes.

How to play this game?
The British BBC TV commentator joked, "We may see a basketball game with three goals in 13 minutes, then after 90 minutes, we may see more than [-] goals."

This kind of game scene made England fans very excited, and the team's performance was unexpected, which made them very happy.

The media is somewhat unclear.

The English media has never stood on a neutral point of view. It is not necessary to mention the impartiality of the media. They each have their own positions. Facing the England World Cup, of course they will support the England team.

However, before England played against them, they still maintained a neutral evaluation. This is also to let the England team find its own flaws, just like parents who love their children, they will definitely not pamper them at home, but will be very demanding.

The performance of the England team is a bit too exaggerated now, making it difficult for the media and many football commentators to understand.

Three goals in 13 minutes?
Even if the England team is in good condition and Jamaica is in poor condition, it will not be to such an extent, right?

Many media have suspected match-fixing.

They can't help but think so, mainly because there are too many goals. In the past few decades, the England team has never performed so well, and it is the same as playing against weak opponents.

Soon the game resumed.

The England team continued their frenzied performance. They completely suppressed Jamaica, and they played wonderfully one after another. They also responded to those who questioned them with their performance, letting everyone know that they are indeed playing with strength.

Jamaica's coach regretted it a bit.

When the FA asked Jamaica to play a warm-up match, he thought it was an opportunity to practice the team.

But if the loss is too bad, it is not a practice, but a huge blow to the morale of the team.

He regretted it a little.

Of course Eriksson would not consider this. As the head coach of the England team, he also has his troubles. It’s not about leading the team in games. up.

How did the team perform so well?
The Swedes were a little dazed.

The game is still going on. In the face of England's powerful offensive, Jamaica's defense is full of loopholes. Although their players are working hard, they cannot withstand the good state of England's big-name stars.

In the 25th minute, Rio Ferdinand made a long pass from the backcourt. Michael Owen succeeded in countering offside.

The score became 4-0.

In the 37th minute, David Beckham scored the ball from the right. Carragher made a high-speed high-speed pass and made a low pass. When Rooney easily pushed the empty goal two meters in front of the goal.

The score became 5-0.

In the 41st minute, Downing passed the ball from the left, Michael Owen pushed across from the front of the penalty area, and Rooney pushed with his right foot to the lower right corner 20 meters away from the goal.

The score became 6-0.

At this point in the game, the cheers of the England fans for the goals were much lower, and many fans were hoarse. They found that there were too many goals, and they were a little used to it, so the cheers became smaller.

As the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the entire Jamaica team breathed a sigh of relief.

it is finally over!
The first half was hell for them, they kept trying and they kept scoring.

This is the strength of the world's top teams?

The Jamaican players were all at a loss. Of course they were not natives from the countryside, and they often played against South American teams such as Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, but they had never experienced such a dismal halftime.

This half is blood-sparkling-sparkling!

The England team had a different feeling. They felt that the first half was fantastic. All the players liked the game of 'complete abuse', just like many people like to 'second people' in the game. That feeling is simply Cool - burst.

They were all talking at halftime.

Coach Eriksson praised everyone's performance and then sat in the corner without saying a word.

He doesn't need to sum up.

England's performance in the first half tended to be perfect, and there is nothing special to say.

However, when the second half was about to start, Eriksson still emphasized one point, "We have to play slower and try to avoid injuries." This is what he is worried about.

You can imagine the mentality of Jamaican players now.

Although it is a warm-up match, football is a competitive game. Any team that wants to win will feel disgusted by being "humiliated". Jamaica scored six goals, and they will definitely not be friendly in the second half.

really!

In the second half of the game, Jamaica's actions became much bigger, and they seemed to want to vent their anger out of their actions.

In order to prevent accidents, Eriksson began to change players frequently. He changed all the main players. The rhythm of the England team became much slower, and the game seemed to start to normalize.

But England's performance is still very good!
Those players who came off the bench also seemed to be "spiked with chicken blood", and they were in good condition when they came on the field.

So the Jamaican goal is still busy.

In the 63rd minute, 75th minute and 84th minute, the England team relied on the goals of Lampard, Walcott and Terry respectively to break through Jamaica's goal three times and also revised the score to 9-0. It might really turn into a basketball game.

The Jamaican players were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

They also completely lost confidence in the game.

In the end, the England team defeated Jamaica 9-0, completing the last warm-up match before the World Cup.

----

Wonderful after the game.

The England team played a show of "abusing food", and the Jamaican coach can only admit frankly that "there is a huge gap between us and the England team". He actually didn't want to say that, but in front of 9-0, any excuse is pale impotent.

Various media immediately commented on the performance of the England team, citing an exaggerated statement from The Sun, "The England team is playing the best form in a century, unfortunately this is not the World Cup, it is just an early warm-up .”

That's a pity.

Opposite the Jamaican coach is the England coach Eriksson. At the press conference, the Swede was all smiles and calmly answered the reporter's questions, saying, "I am very satisfied with the team's performance."

But when he walked out of the press conference, Eriksson frowned.

He was satisfied with the team's performance, but this outstanding performance was out of his control.

He found that he couldn't understand the game a little bit.

Not only can he not understand the game, but he can't even understand the performance of each player. Why can every player perform well?Even the substitutes who just came on the field seemed to be on the field for a few 10 minutes. It is good that every player is working hard, but this is really unexpected.

what is the reason behind the scene?

Maybe the England players have the answer.

Every English player was hailed after the game because they all played so well.

The mixed area of ​​the stadium was occupied by reporters, and a dozen England players stood scattered in it, all of them surrounded.

This kind of situation is usually encountered, that is, David Beckham, a player who pays great attention to his personal image, will stay to answer reporters' questions one by one. Today is a bit different, all the players are very energetic.

The players each expressed their views on the game.

Some big media sent more than a dozen reporters to interview them. They recorded the words of each player and summarized the content together. Then they found a common point——
All the players talked about the Yangyang football team.

All the players attribute their good condition to the state training of the Yangyang football team...
