Chapter 216 Spiritual Core
(Thanks to the cattle of the flower planter for the reward!)

After the season ended, Morrison got a rare rest time.Even though he has been off for a month, he still feels that the offseason is very good. After a whole season of competition, a short rest is refreshing.

"This is the information of all European Cup teams. The characteristics of each player are listed, as well as the main defensive players you may encounter at that time." George is very competent. After Morrison signaled, he prepared for the European Cup early work.

Euro 2012 will be co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine. This is the third time that the European Cup will be co-hosted by the two countries.Poland and Ukraine each have 4 cities to host the competition, among which the 4 cities in Poland are Gdansk, Poznan, Warsaw and Wroclaw; the 4 cities in Ukraine are Kharkov, Donetsk, Kiev and Lviv.

At the end of last year, all 16 participating teams were announced, and the draw ceremony was held immediately.England and the host Ukraine are in a group, and the other two countries are Sweden and France. It is not too difficult for England to qualify.

The strength of the Ukrainian national team is average, and it is basically locked in the last place, while Sweden's strength on paper is lower than that of England. This group D is mainly a battle between France and England.

In Morrison's last life, England qualified first in the group, avoided the favorites Spain, and was then eliminated by Italy, not even touching the edge of the semi-finals.England's best result in the European Cup was No.3, but only four teams participated at that time.

Another host team, Poland, has a much better grouping situation than Ukraine. They are in Group A, with Greece, Russia and the Czech Republic. Everyone is almost weak and there is hope for advancement.

The defending champion Spain is in Group C. In the same group, Italy and Croatia are stronger, and Ireland is soft. No one thought that Italy would reach the final and compete with Spain for the championship.

But in this life, the situation is different. After Morrison appeared, England's strength has improved a lot. England will not necessarily lose the game against Italy in the quarter-finals.Alternatively, Italy and England could stage a fierce confrontation.

The four teams in Group B are the most even in strength. The Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, and Denmark are divided together. The situation is difficult to distinguish. It is recognized that Germany and the Netherlands will be better, but who knows who Portugal will kill?And will Denmark become a spoiler?

Sixteen teams are gearing up and making final adjustments.Capello is full of confidence. Less than a year later, Morrison has made great progress, and the strength of the England national team has improved. Even if they cannot beat Spain, there is still hope for reaching the semi-finals.

The idea of ​​the English media is that the team can reach the semi-finals. They have already reached the semi-finals of the World Cup, and the competition in the European Cup is more intense. Strong hopes are greater.

"As long as we have Morrison, we even want to win the title."

"I believe Morrison will lead the team to victory."

"Morrison is the winner of the three best players in the Premier League, and the top scorer in the Champions League last season. He also won the European Player of the Year Award and the FIFA Ballon d'Or last year. I will not trust other England except him. Players, Wayne Rooney can't be trusted either."

"Our Great England's defense and midfield are no longer good. Besides Morrison and Rooney in the frontcourt, which player do we have? Terry? Don't be funny, we will see what he did last season. In the eyes."

With Chelsea becoming the champion of the new UEFA Champions League, Terry should be in peak form, but unfortunately, it is only the end of the peak, and he has inevitably slipped.Terry and Ashley Cole have gradually lost their former momentum.

Capello even called Morrison for his opinion before deciding on the final 23-man squad.It is conceivable that Morrison's status in the England national team has gradually surpassed Rooney and become the real core.

As for the goalkeeper position, Joe Hart, the Premier League golden glove, has become the main force. Although he is bound to be entered in the world, he performed particularly well in Manchester City last season. He is calm and has solid basic skills. He can be the number one goalkeeper.

The substitute goalkeepers are Green and Butland.

The back line has always been a headache for Capello. The powerful Terry and Ferdinand are aging. Ferdinand was even injured and could not be selected for the national team.You can only pull the taller out of the dwarfs.

Terry can still occupy the position of a main central defender, Gary Cahill may become another main central defender, Ashley Cole must be the main left back, and Baines is his long-term substitute, with few opportunities to play.The main right back, Liverpool's Glenn Johnson can still play.For several defenders on the bench, Manchester United's Phil Jones was selected, and the other two were Manchester City's Lescott and Everton's Jagielka.

Among them, Jones and Jagielka can play multiple positions.

The competition in the midfield is the greatest, and Morrison is doing his part to seize a main position. Even if he appears on the forward line, it is not surprising that Morrison is already a versatile player in the frontcourt.However, in Capello's plan, Morrison may have to shoulder the important task of the frontcourt playmaker.

No way, England couldn't find a playmaking midfielder, Carrick didn't have much room to play between Lampard and Gerrard, and the ball rarely reached his feet.Gerrard and Lampard will certainly be up for position as well.Manchester United turned out to be the winner of the England midfield selection, with Morrison, Ashley Young and Scott Parker also selected for the national team.

For the other two places, Arsenal's Theo Walcott will appear on the right winger position, Milner and Downing are also midfield substitutes, and Downing is on the last train, which is quite surprising, he has not even scored a goal in Liverpool .

In the forward position, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney was the first to be hooked up.In the other three positions, Andy Carroll from Liverpool ranks second and may play alongside Wayne Rooney. Tottenham fast Madifo continues to be selected. His speed is a good variable for the team.

The high center forward Benteke, who had performed well in the league before, was injured and missed the national team squad, so Manchester United's substitute striker Welbeck got a chance and he became the team's fourth striker.

Welbeck scored 6 goals in Manchester United last season, and his performance was mediocre, but in the national team, he played 4 games and scored 3 goals. The super unsolvable scoring rate, plus Ferguson's recommendation, Capello also Decided to take Welbeck to Ukraine.England's first group game will be played in Donetsk, Ukraine.

The team's captain's armband still hangs on Gerrard's arm, but Terry has occasionally become the captain's candidate.Now, they all looked at Morrison.

In everyone's mind, the youngest Morrison is the true core of the England national team, surpassing the spiritual core of the captain.
