Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 1269 Challenge the legend!

The Chinese team and the England team will face each other in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, which makes Fleet Street feel very complicated.

On the one hand, looking at the quarterfinals, the Chinese team seems to be the weakest opponent.

But on the other hand, seeing that the coach of the Chinese team is Situ Yunbing, Fleet Street feels that the game will definitely not go as smoothly as expected!

After all, Situ Yunbing's previous halo was too shining, and the shocking impact brought to Fleet Street shrouded them like a shadow.

Just like now basically they can’t exaggerate the success of a team in the Premier League. The jewels are in the front, and the success of any team in the back. It will be ridiculed.

Although Situ Yunbing is in a relaxed state, he is still very focused on preparing for the war.

There are no good teams on the World Cup stage, and at the same time, the opponents have no absolutely obvious weaknesses. At least the Chinese team is reluctant to play against the opponent's weaknesses.

But preparations still need to be made. Even if the deployment cannot target the opponent's weakness, at least the opponent's strong attack points must be contained.

The day before the game, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference, and he saw many familiar faces.

It was a press conference with the most media acquaintances he had seen since leaving England.

When he sat down, facing the smiling crowd, he said, "Hey, guys, miss me? If tomorrow is a Premier League title match, you should all have thought about the title, right?"

The reporters on Fleet Street burst into laughter.

Situ Yunbing calmed down and became serious.

When the reporter asked him how he viewed England as an opponent, Situ Yunbing said solemnly: "Before the World Cup, I paid attention to the reports from the UK. Haven't you already evaluated England's strength?
The strongest Three Lions in the past 20 years!
Isn't it? "

Everyone laughed again.

In fact, looking back at every major competition in England, whether it is the European Cup or the World Cup, Fleet Street will always use similar titles.

The strongest in the past 10 years! The strongest in 20 years!
Anyway, I dare not use the strongest in history!
After all, England won the World Cup that year. Before England won the World Cup for the second time, even Fleet Street, which has always been outspoken, would not use words like the strongest in history, which would be ridiculous.

The reporters on Fleet Street looked helpless.

Of course they were hyping it up.

Whether England is the strongest in the past 20 years, I am afraid no one can tell.

So a reporter asked Situ Yunbing his personal opinion.

Situ Yunbing said indifferently: "England's overall strength must be strong. As for where they are in the World Cup, they need to work hard to fight for it. If they win the Chinese team, they will be the semi-finals, and if they go further, they will be in the final.

Only the champion will be considered the strongest, this is common sense.

It is undeniable that the stars of the England team are indeed players recognized by the general public.

It's just that in terms of skills and tactics, I haven't seen England's strengths, or its advantages over other teams. "

This is not because Situ Yunbing is talking nonsense in order to disturb the morale of the England army. Ever since England denied the outdated 442, England has no decent skills and tactics. X**T.

The Fleet Street reporter immediately asked him again about his outlook for the game.

Situ Yunbing said calmly: "As I said before, whoever wins tomorrow night's game between the Chinese team and the England team will enter the semi-finals of the World Cup.

The England team is no stranger to the semi-finals, but every step forward by the Chinese team is to create new history. I believe that from this point of view, the fighting spirit of the England team may lose to the Chinese team.

Of course, tomorrow night's game may prove me absolutely wrong.

Once England easily destroys the Chinese team's defense, then I will congratulate the Three Lions for advancing to the semi-finals. "

Finally, a reporter asked him whether he would bring a tactical surprise to England?

Situ Yunbing said with a smile: "How can there be so many surprises, the strength of the Chinese team and England has determined our passiveness in the game, so even if I want to create some surprises for England, I am afraid England will not agree.

I think tomorrow night's game will be a typical game, with more focus on team confrontation, competition of will, avoiding mistakes and so on.

Someone is ingenious and wants to catch the opponent by surprise?
I'm afraid it's not realistic. "

After finishing the pre-match press conference, Situ Yunbing returned to the hotel to rest overnight, and then prepared to leave for Lusail City the next day.

The next day, the headline on the front page of The Times spread around the world.

Southgate VS Legends!

The Guardian and other media also quoted similar headlines to gain attention!
In fact, it seems that Fleet Street is relatively restrained, trying to reduce pressure for the Three Lions as much as possible!
After all, Southgate and England's challenge to Situ Yunbing was used as the key report.

Obviously, it is to make the England mentality easier.

Perhaps Fleet Street has ignored the outstanding performance of the Chinese team in the previous four World Cup games, and just thinks that Situ Yunbing will be a stumbling block preventing the Three Lions from reaching the semi-finals!
Russell Landmark Stadium.

The opening ceremony of the current World Cup will be held here, and the final will also be staged here.

The Chinese team had the honor to play a life-and-death battle with the England team in the most famous stadium in Qatar.

This stadium, which can accommodate more than 8 people, is also full of seats today. Both neutral fans and fans of the two teams are full of enthusiasm to enter the stadium to watch the game.

Situ Yunbing delivered an impassioned speech in the locker room before the game.

"England are like giants and we are like dwarves, but today we have the opportunity to kill giants!
Remember, we will be beaten for a long time, and the situation will be very passive, keep calm, be patient, and wait for the opportunity to give the opponent a one-hit kill!

We have nothing to keep, we may not be as good as the England team in experience, and not as famous as them, but we can definitely not lose to our opponents in running!
Treat this as the most important game of our entire career, no one! "

The generals of the Chinese team have a high fighting spirit, and everyone looks determined, full of fighting spirit for the upcoming game!
After Situ Yunbing watched the players leave the locker room, he was the last one to go out.

When he came to the player channel, he saw the players from the two teams lined up. He passed by the England lineup, but he still couldn't help but stopped beside Arnold.

Arnold turned his head to look, immediately held his head high, smiled at Situ Yunbing and said, "Boss, long time no see!"

Situ Yunbing patted him on the shoulder and said, "The world's number one right back, I don't want to see you showing off your power on the court today."

Arnold said with a wry smile: "I also hope that the boss will not deploy tactics against me."

Situ Yunbing smiled.

When he walked to the forefront of the England lineup, Sancho, who was standing in the third place, said to Situ Yunbing solemnly: "Boss, hello, I have never had a chance to say thank you to you."

After Griezmann left Liverpool, Sancho became the main force of Liverpool's striker. He can be regarded as a top player, but there is still a certain distance to be said to be world-class.

Situ Yunbing smiled at him and said, "There's no need to thank me. Seeing that your development is going well, I'm happy for you. It's good that you have lived up to the talent God gave you."

Looking at the other familiar players in England, Situ Yunbing nodded to them and walked out of the player tunnel.

For some reason, Sterling, Rashford, Ali and other generals all breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though Situ Yunbing had left the Premier League for more than four years, they were still full of fear in their hearts against Situ Yunbing as opponents!

Situ Yunbing came to the stadium. Three Lions coach Southgate was wearing a vest, shirt and trousers. He looked like a British gentleman. He took the initiative to walk towards Situ Yunbing. Before Situ Yunbing left the Premier League, Southgate I have dealt with Situ Yunbing, but it was only a reception held by the FA, and there was a communication about the recruitment of the national football team to play for the national team.

Southgate is full of admiration for Situ Yunbing. He understands better than other coaches in the World Cup how great and insurmountable Situ Yunbing's achievements in England were!
At the same time, the Three Lions also benefited from the players trained by Situ Yunbing, such as Arnold, Sancho, and Sterling who defected from Anfield.

When Situ Yunbing shook hands with Southgate, both of them were smiling. After a few words of pleasantries, Southgate said to him: "It is another new history for the Chinese team to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup. It may not be possible in the short term." It cannot be surpassed, as far as I know, the best record of an Asian team in the World Cup is the semi-finals, and only once, this is already close to the pinnacle of Asian football history!"

Situ Yunbing said meaningfully: "Yes, it is only close to the best record in history, and has not really surpassed it. If it can be surpassed, it will be a new record that cannot be broken in the short term."

Southgate laughed and said: "I think the Chinese team is likely to eliminate the England team, I can only hope that the England team will not make mistakes in the game!

I don't want to be branded a sinner by Fleet Street when I get back to London. "

Situ Yunbing shrugged and said: "This is nothing new. Unless England wins the championship, there will always be sinners. Fleet Street likes to do this. I do sympathize with you, but who made England the birthplace of modern football? Your arrogance puts you under the weight of an entire country.

But looking at it from another perspective, if it can live up to the expectations of the entire country, then it is definitely a great achievement!
Do you feel more motivated if you think about it this way? "

Southgate's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking, but at the same time he looked at Situ Yunbing differently. Perhaps this is the secret of Situ Yunbing's success. Look at the problem from another angle, and invisibly strengthen himself!
