Chapter 130
For small confrontations between players, Capello did not make any demands after all. No matter what kind of team he is in, large and small frictions happen from time to time. Today's England is actually very good, at least there are no open factions Confrontation, although many people still don't get together very much, is passable after all, and it's not so bad that they don't like each other.

Of course, these were meaningless to Shisan. Taking advantage of the few days of getting used to, the young couple walked back to Johannesburg with Victoria. Of course, many people went with them.

These are not counted, but Thirteen went back and forth to South Africa, and simply finished the preparations for marrying a daughter-in-law, and the engagement ring was considered done.

Regardless of the trivial matters of life, the internal environment in England is still very good, because the preparation is proper and the amount of training is not large. In addition to ensuring physical strength, there is also the reason for mental fatigue. Thinking about it, this is just the end of a season. Mentally, they are all in a period of exhaustion. If they continue to fight exhaustion, the World Cup will really have nothing to pursue.

Of course, the game will not be interrupted, because considering physical factors, Capello thought over and over again, and finally compressed the game to two games.

On June [-], they played against Côte d'Ivoire at the training ground. This was an internal exchange match. Apart from a few reporters, few fans showed up.This is what Capello fought for. His idea is that when he first came here, a bunch of fans couldn’t practice anything at all during training. clam down.

In this game, Capello sacrificed his reserved main lineup.

Goalkeeper Niu Shisan is the most guessed by the outside world. In fact, Capello has already made a decision, so it is not a big problem.

The two full-backs, Bridge and Brown, are not saying that Ashley Cole is not good, but that this buddy is not in a very reassuring state. According to Capello's ideas, it is possible to bring him to South Africa. Just in case, I also hope that he can be excited under the stimulation of the World Cup environment and be in a little bit of a state.

After all, the central defender did not make any waves, Terry and Ferdinand partnered.

As for the midfielder, as mentioned earlier, Capello is still worried about the right side. It is said that there is no problem with Beckham's ability to occupy the starting lineup, but the idea of ​​​​the Italian coach is sometimes stubborn or strange. Well, when Xiao Bei became Lao Bei, he also became a full-time substitute.

The left side was given to Janus. In fact, Pierce suggested using Mike, but Capello still chose to believe in the veteran, or he was unwilling to move Manchester United to the court. In that case, this coach would not be very good.

In the middle, Lampard and Barry have no problems, and most of the rest can be replaced without fear of accidents.

The strikers are Rooney and Defoe. According to Capello, although Manchester United's attack mode cannot be copied, there is still room for Rooney. After all, he has to rely on him to score goals in the World Cup!

As for Owen, he has already made money by being able to come to South Africa. It is better not to go too far in other things, otherwise it is not a good thing to offend Capello.

However, with such a lineup, Capello's attack is more on the right side. After all, let Gerrard play on the right side, and Lampard himself is also on the right side.

It’s just that such an arrangement is too obvious, and it’s easy to make mistakes. Pierce’s suggestion may be right. Although Mike is young, his impact is higher than Janus’s. He is also young and fearless, and he still needs to be aggressive in offense.

Ordinarily, this can only be regarded as an internal exchange game. Capello does not need to bring out the main lineup, but because he has been observing and confirming the players before, he has to pull the players out to hone them at this time. After all, it is difficult to form a tacit understanding. , but it is not difficult to determine the location. When the division of labor is clear, things will not be so difficult.

Looking at the Côte d'Ivoire side, none of the Zhengyin forwards came out, and Shisan was not attacked at all behind.

To put it bluntly, other people from Côte d'Ivoire didn't even think about winning when they came to play against England at this time. If it weren't for the appearance fee, it would be rare for others to play any exchange games.

Capello also just wanted to find a team to practice his feet here, so he didn't care much about how others played. Anyway, the official game is to see who can stand first.

The two sides played tacitly, the movements were not big, the various players cooperated, and the defense was appropriate. Of course, the England defenders had to be more dedicated to their work, so as to suppress the offense that the opponent was not very happy about.It also indirectly confirmed Shisan's nothing to do.

However, Capello now rarely cares that he is inexperienced. At this time, it is not good to change people. Anyway, there is nothing. One more save will not change anything. It is better to take the opportunity to practice patience and calm down. , At least there will be no leakage of the ball in the goalkeeper position.

The result of this game was 2 to 0, Rooney scored a close corner, Gerrard scored a long shot, it seems that the latter's state is recovering, maybe the World Cup can really bring him back to his best.

Three days later, in Johannesburg, England played an official warm-up match against Slovakia.

Thirteen conceded a goal in this game, but England's offense was a bit tough, with four goals, Rooney scored two, Terry scored a header, and Walcott, who came off the bench, finished Riding alone for thousands of miles at a time.

Before the curtain opened, England was already sharpening their swords.

"How do you feel? Are you nervous?" Outside the Royal Bafken Stadium in Rostenburg, Mike and 13 stood there wearing peaked caps, looking at the magnificent building in front of them.

"Of course, this is the World Cup!" Thirteen's answer was very honest, his eyes staring forward, as if he was facing a penalty shootout.

"Yeah, the World Cup, this is the World Cup! Four years ago we were still making excuses to go to Berlin to watch the game, but now we are going to play in person!" Four years ago, they were going to participate in training, and Carrington could Regardless of whether there is no World Cup or the time is up, no one wants to leave to watch the World Cup?Go home and watch TV.

"Tomorrow, you will play!" Thirteen suddenly asked.

"What? You're freaking out!" Thirteen's main force has been determined, but Mike is still hesitating. Capello obviously relies more on Janus. Even in the middle, Barry and Carrick have to overwhelm him.

"No, I was just thinking, we, if we wait until 12 years later to participate in the World Cup, it will be four times!"

"What do you want to do so far away?" Mike was a little indifferent, young man, it's not a good habit to be sad.

"No, I want to say, is it possible for us to win the four World Cups?"

"Who knows? Play it seriously!"

"Yeah, kick it seriously!"
