Chapter 434 The Great Britain-Pakistan War ([-])

"Brazilian football superstar Ronaldo believes that the winner of this Friday's World Cup quarter-final against England and Brazil will finally lift this World Cup. Ronaldo has scored five goals in four games in this cup. Mr. Ronaldo believes that England has the strength to enter the World Cup final, Ronaldo said, "Playing against England is like playing in the World Cup final.The real World Cup starts now, and every game from now on is like a final.

The game against England will be more exciting than against Belgium because England are playing better and we are very close to England. ""

"Brazilian midfielder Juninho, who played for Middlesbrough in the Premier League, also agreed with Ronaldo, saying that whoever wins Friday's game between England and Brazil has the best chance of winning the World Cup. Juninho was in 1995. Playing for Middlesbrough until 1997 and becoming a local idol, Juninho knew the British players better than the rest of Brazil. He said: "We have to be careful with Owen and Heskey. The forward line is more threatening than Belgium.Owen will be a mortal danger for us, he is playing better game after game and I hope against us he will be out of shape.

We worry more about England as a whole than any individual player.It's a tough game for us and England have played very well. ""

However, compared to the experienced Juninho, the Brazilian rookie Ronaldinho showed his disdain for England in an interview. Ronaldinho said, "I don't care about Beckham and Irving. How, because we have players who are as good as them on the team."

Brazilian goalkeeper Marcos, who has performed brilliantly against Belgium, also said, "I know Beckham has a good right foot, but we have better players."

Rivaldo, who is likely to follow in the footsteps of Juninho and land at the Newcastle club in the Premier League, marveled at the speed of England's progress: "England is a traditional strong team. We respect them. They played well and beat Argentina."

Rivaldo also believes that England has an advantage in rest time-England has rested for nearly a week before the quarter-finals, while Brazil only has three days to adjust, but he is still confident: "I believe Brazil will eventually enter the final. We have a good defense now, we have the ability to stop Owen and Beckham."

I have to say that the Brazilian players showed their strong confidence before the game, but just when some reporters were dissatisfied with the Brazilians' confidence, Brazil coach Scolari vowed in a high profile to win the game. Under the England team, he claimed to have found a way to deal with the England team. If the Brazil team cannot win the game, he is willing to accept the fate of getting out of class unconditionally.

After the remark was released by the media, it can be said that one stone caused a thousand waves. You must know that although he had led the team to the quarter-finals before, Scolari was still widely criticized by the Brazilian media. This is mainly reflected in his criticism of the Brazilian defense personnel. Criticism of arrangement.

In this regard, Scolari made a response similar to that of Spanish coach Camacho: "No matter how good I do, I will still be criticized or even cursed by countless people. I am used to this. We are training normally every day. , so that the Brazilian team can play against England in a good state. I am very familiar with the England team. Their style and level are not much different from Belgium. I know their strengths very well, and I also know their loopholes. I have already found out The way to deal with the England team, I am full of confidence in the game, and I believe our players are also full of confidence in the game. Both Beckham and Owen are dangerous figures. The former is a bit like Rivaldo. I will arrange people to guard him .”

Since many people in Brazil have asked Scolari to sack get out of class, he is well aware of the challenges he faces.Scolari said calmly: "I know what it means to me if I lose this game, I can only choose to leave get out of class. But I can guarantee that we will win the game. Everyone can see that our strength is obviously stronger than England. Team."

At the same time, Scolari also admitted that in the quarter-finals, the Belgian team played better than the Brazilian team in many cases, so he plans to adjust the team's midfield to make the team more effective.He said that some of the problems exposed by the Brazilian team's defense were mainly directly related to the failure of the midfielder to return to the defense in time. It is impossible for him to fully experiment with the new lineup.

In response to the contempt for the England team from the top and bottom of the Brazilian team, several of the British team's defense backbones have come forward to retort, expressing that they will give the Brazilians a head-on blow in a real game to combat their arrogance.Because in some interviews a few days ago, the players of the Brazilian team said that the England team is not their opponent. They will step on the corpse of the British to win this year's World Cup just like in 1970, whether it is the team's striker, avant-garde or Defenders, both said they would score in the game to humiliate the English.

The British defenders are very uncomfortable with the arrogant attitude of the Brazilian team. The two excellent central defenders Campbell and Rio Ferdinand said in an interview with reporters today: In order to beat the Brazilian team, we will do whatever we can. The price, even if it is desperate.

"We're going to be on the defensive side, which should be fine," Campbell said. "We're going to look at their goals and their moves."

Campbell said that he is confident in ending the progress of the Brazilians. "We defeated the Argentines. This is a great game for us. The whole team is full of confidence and believes that we can accomplish our ambitious goals."

Another main central defender, Rio Ferdinand, said that he believed that he and his teammates had been able to freeze the attacks of the two world footballers Rivaldo and Ronaldo.However, he admitted at the same time: "The two of them scored nine goals together. This is a very good result and it is also a test for us."

When the players got off the bus at the beginning of the game, from the silence and expressions of the players on both sides, it was already possible to see the tense atmosphere before them. However, the players on both sides were silent on tactical issues before the game, and kept a cautious attitude towards the outside world. Inadvertently revealed his tactical arrangements.Previously, almost all the media and public opinion believed that England would only play long passes in the penalty area, and believed that the delicate skills of Brazilian players were much better than them, but the Brazilians themselves did not think so.

Most players feel that it will be very difficult to fight against England. This is closely related to the prosperity of the Premier League. English football has improved rapidly in recent years.They used to only make long passes in a fixed place, but now the English players' passing skills have improved a lot. Coupled with the original set-piece skills, they have become very scary.

Of course, when the players of the two teams got off the bus, the cheers of the English people were obviously much higher. It can be said that this is a victory of appearance, and it is also because the fans saw a familiar figure among the players of England, Owen .The England-Pakistan battle is imminent. For England, Owen's injury is their biggest concern at present. He injured his groin in the game against Denmark. From then until this Wednesday, Owen has not participated in official training with the team. , He even canceled a visit to a local elementary school on Tuesday, and the press conference originally attended by him was also represented by Scholes.

In addition to Owen, Scholes, who was slightly injured, did not participate in Wednesday's training. He and Irving were active in the gym together and received active treatment from the team doctor, including massage and hydrotherapy.

In this regard, when the outside world was full of grief, England coach Eriksson said optimistically: "Scholes will definitely be able to participate in the game against Brazil, and I believe Owen is also fine. Tomorrow, they will be with Brazil. The whole team is training together. I can almost guarantee that they will play this Friday."

Just when people were wondering why Eriksson was so optimistic, a reporter disclosed the reason for the period. Of course Eriksson had his reasons!In order to treat Owen's injuries, he urgently recruited a mysterious Danish doctor into the team. This Danish doctor is named Richard Smith. Irving struggled with a strained groin.

Smith has helped a number of sports stars to prolong their sporting life, including former England captain Brian Robson, and he also helped treat David Beckham's injury.Smith is known for bold, unconventional treatments such as "brutal" massages and constant ice with retired boxers, so Erickson hopes Smith's approach will allow him to have a full team on Friday. team.

In addition to Smith, Watford's assistant coach Terry Byrne has also flown to Japan to join the England team's medical staff under Beckham's urgent summons.Byrne once coached at Chelsea, and later followed Vialli to Watford.In the past, he had massaged Beckham several times, and the effect was very good, so he was regarded as the best masseur by some England stars, including Beckham.

However, the England assistant coach Grip is not as optimistic as Eriksson. He looked at the crazy fans and reporters and worried in his heart. If Owen's body cannot recover 100%, it will be difficult to play against Brazil. Even if they play, they can't play an ideal role. In the past, there were wounded players who could replace them. The players who played for them are very good. If this is the case, why force the wounded for the sake of fame?
