Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

After changing clothes, the players of both sides stepped onto the field and began to warm up before the game.

"Chen! Come on! Play well today! Let's hold the cup together!"

Kane said to Chen Chen who was doing warm-up exercises beside him.

"Okay! No problem, captain!"

Chen Chen replied with a smile while raising his legs high.

Southgate assistant coach Selbaink, who was a little further away, clapped his hands and shouted loudly,

"Pay attention! Boys! Be serious! We need to maintain a positive attitude from the beginning of warm-up!"

"Everyone should get into the game state quickly! Do you know? Game state!"

A large number of fans began to pour into Wembley Stadium, and the stands that originally had many empty seats were instantly filled.

Soon, the warm-up ended, and the players of both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.

Not long after, the lights in Wembley Stadium suddenly dimmed, and the pre-match show began!

England was unlucky today, and they drew the right to use the visiting team's locker room.

But at Wembley, for the Three Lions, there is no difference between using the home and guest dressing rooms. On the contrary, they can be more relaxed in their mentality.

In the guest dressing room, Southgate was making the final tactical arrangements.

Afterwards, after the tactical explanation, Southgate looked around and began to make the final pre-match mobilization with the players.

"Tactically, there is not much that needs to be adjusted."

"Now I have only one request, remember the feeling of winning at Wembley before! With this feeling, go and defeat the Italians!"

"Win this championship! I believe you can do it!"

"You, you, and you!"

Southgate stretched out his hand and pointed a few times,

"We will be the heroes of England!"

After everyone finished applauding, Kane, wearing the captain's armband, stood up,

"OK! Listen to me, everyone stand in a circle!"

Kane also looked around the dressing room.

"England hasn't won a major tournament for more than 50 years. Today, we will have a chance to break through!"

"There's nothing to worry about. We have to charge today!"

"Many people are optimistic about us, and many people are not optimistic about us."

"Then let's win this damn championship and let everyone cheer for us!"

"Come on! Let football go home!"

Everyone said in unison,

"Let football go home!"

. . . . . .

The pre-match performance really added fuel to the upcoming strong confrontation, especially when the last European Cup champion---Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo took out the Delaunay Cup from the player's tunnel, the atmosphere of the game was pushed to the highest peak!

"Dear viewers in front of the TV! Welcome to continue watching the 2020 European Cup final brought to you by Migu Sports!"

"The two teams are England and Italy!"

"I am today's commentator Zhan Jun! The person next to me is an old acquaintance of everyone, Coach Zhang Lu! And today's special guest, former Chinese international player General Fan Zhiyi!"

Zhang Lu greeted first,

"Hey hey! Hello everyone! I'm Zhang Lu!"

"Hello everyone! I'm Fan Zhiyi!"

Fan Zhiyi seemed a little reserved, and it can be seen that General Fan has not been led astray by Wu Ha yet.

Zhan Jun did not immediately read out the advertisement or the starting lineups of both teams, but asked Fan Zhiyi a question,

"I want to ask General Fan, as a senior of the national football team, what do you think of the two key matches of the national football team in September?"

Fan Zhiyi coughed lightly and replied,

"Kicking Kangaroos and Little Day, lose less and win less, and try to get two draws, that is, two points. But it's not easy."

Zhan Jun continued to ask,

"The national football team performed well in the World Cup qualifiers in June. Do you really have no confidence in winning?"

"Winning? It's difficult."

Fan Zhiyi frowned and shook his head.

"How can the Philippines and Maldives compare with Kangaroos! Thank God they didn't lose by a big score."

"I think it's more pragmatic. Kangaroos and Xiaori should lower their posture and keep a draw. Let's fight for the third place in the play-offs. The top two are very difficult."

Zhang Lu interrupted at this time,

"If there is a Chen Chen in the national football team, the situation will not be certain. Put Elkeson and Lei Zi in front, and Chen Chen plays the role of a free man in the front court. In terms of offense, he is completely not inferior to them!"

The three looked at each other and then sighed.

This is a story that makes people cry and listen to it sad!

Zhan Jun brought the topic back to the game itself.

"Today, the starting lineups of the two teams came out very early!"

"In Italy, Mancini continued to arrange the starting lineup that defeated Spain in the last round."

"433,The goalkeeper is Donnarumma. "

"The four defenders are Emerson, Chiellini and Bonucci, and the right back is Di Lorenzo. "

"The three midfielders are Verratti, Chelsea player Jorginho, and Inter Milan midfielder Barella, who scored a key goal in the last round. "

"On the front line, Insigne, Immobile and Federico Chiesa continue to start. "

"On their bench, there are Juventus midfielder Bernardeschi, Barcelona Sassuolo midfielder Locatelli, Belotti and Spinazzola who has returned from injury. "

"Mancini chose to continue to use the flank combination that has been invincible in Italy during this European Cup cycle in the final. "

"Let's look at England. "

"Southgate responded to the situation and resumed the three-back formation. "

Zhang Lu took over the conversation,

"This three-back formation, I remember England used it once, it seems to be in the 1/8 finals?"

"Coach Zhang is right, it was in the 1/8 finals against Germany. This is also the only time Southgate used the three-back formation in the finals of this European Cup, and today is the second time."

Fan Zhiyi nodded, now he is much more relaxed,

"So fans should not say that the Three Lions' team lineup is "dog-tying to win", the South Gate also has tactical arrangements, and there are adjustments against strong and weak teams!"

In the studio, the three laughed.

Zhan Jun continued to read out the starting lineup of the England team.

"343 formation."

"Luke Shaw and Trippier are on both sides of the wing, Harry Kane and Sterling are one tall and one fast, Chen Chen is slightly behind, so in fact the Three Lions' formation should be 3412! ”

“Before the game, there was news that Chen Chen would play as a substitute. It seems that this is a smokescreen from England. I don’t know if Mancini is prepared! ”

“The goalkeeper is Pickford.”

“The back line from left to right is Maguire, Stones and Kyle Walker.”

“4 midfielders, Luke Shaw, Rice, Kalvin Phillips and Trippier.”

“There is no need to talk about the forward line. We have introduced it.”

Zhan Jun turned his head and looked at the two,

“I want to ask you two, who do you think will be the winner today?”

Fan Zhiyi chuckled twice,

“England! The time, the place and the people are right. It’s unreasonable not to win the championship.”

Zhang Lu was not annoyed by being robbed of the “hehe”. He smiled and said,

“Italy.”

“Oh? Coach Zhang, can you elaborate?”

“I also want to support England, but Zhiyi mentioned England, and I thought it was impossible to say that all three of them support England, right? ”

“Hahaha! That’s my fault! Coach Zhang!”

Fan Zhiyi stood up immediately.

The three of them burst into laughter.
