[Football Fans] Glory

In June 1996, the football leagues of various countries had just finished their one-season journey, and many exhausted European players would rush to their respective national teams to work hard to participate in the final of this European Cup.

The host country of this European Cup is England. The people of England, which is recognized as the birthplace of modern football, are cheering football home. Of course, they also dream of keeping the trophy of this European Cup in England.

The European teams that signed up for the competition were divided into eight groups for the qualifiers. In the end, only [-] teams entered the main competition.

被分在第二组的西班牙在与同组对手中分别以2比1拿下塞浦路斯、2比0胜马其顿、3比0取丹麦、4比1胜比利利、2比0胜亚美尼亚，第二回合西班牙1比1与比利时战平、1比0胜亚美尼亚、6比0大胜塞浦路斯、和丹麦1-1平、3比0胜马其顿。

Spain, which entered the race, was placed in Group B.

The grouping situation of this European Cup is as follows:

Group A: England, Switzerland, Netherlands, Scotland

Group B: Spain, Bulgaria, Romania, France

Group C: Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Russia

Group D: Denmark, Portugal, Turkey, Croatia

"In general, no opponent is easy to bully."

Guti stared at the grouping table and said to Carney, who was in the same room.

The members of the current Spanish national team squad are:

1 Goalkeeper Zubizarreta

2 defender Otero

3 defender Barsu

4 defender Alcorta

5 defender Abelardo

6 defender Hierro

7 Midfielder Lopez

8 Midfielder Guerrero

9 Forward Pizzi

10 Midfielder Donato

11 Forward Alfonso

12 Midfielder Sergi

13 Goalkeeper Canizares

14 Forward Kiko

15 Camineiro

16 defender Amaviska

17 defender Manharlin.

18 Forward Amor

19 Forward Guti

20 defender Nadal

21 Midfielder Enrique

22 Goalkeeper Molina

Since making a mistake in the 1995 World Cup, Carney has been a substitute in the national team, but everyone knows that as long as Subizarreta comes down, Carney's return is inevitable, as long as nothing goes wrong.

Even the 22 players in the big list in the Spanish newspaper simply listed the four positions of goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward. Of course, except for the goalkeeper on the field, most of them would not really count them rigidly.

When the rooms were divided, Guti and Carney were divided into the same room, and the two chatted about the grouping situation during their breaks.

"Outsiders say that among the four groups, Group B is the group of death."

Carney sat on the head of the bed, tossing footballs with his hands while chatting with Guti.

Guti tried his best to recall the situation in his memory, but it seems that because of the age, many details can't be remembered clearly. What he can remember most clearly is that the big dark horse of this European Cup is The Czech Republic and the German team won the championship with a semi-remnant team. By the way, there is also the final final. This is the first final golden ball in an international competition.

"In the 94 World Cup, both Bulgaria and Romania had good results, especially Bulgaria, which made it to the semi-finals."

"Ok!"

Carney nodded, and he glanced at Guti, "This time, you and Guerrero were selected to train newcomers. I don't know how Guerrero is. You are going to be reused. Are you nervous? ?”

Guti, who was lying on the ground doing push-ups, said smoothly, "Why can't you bring Raul?"

"Just talk to me, you don't have to say such things outside."

Carney tossed the ball and said with a smile.

"understood!"

Guti tried his best to do push-ups, "The national team also pays attention to balance..."

"José!"

Carney put away the ball and scolded.

Looking up at Carney, Guti slapped on the ground, "It's really strange for Camacho to be the coach. I always feel that his formation is a bit uncomfortable."

Seeing that Guti couldn't stop his nagging, Carney had no choice but to let him go, "Actually, he's pretty good as a teaching assistant."

Guti murmured in a low voice: I knew I wouldn't have let my father take over!

"What did you say?"

Carney asked strangely.

He seems to have heard Guti muttering about who is in charge?

"It's nothing, I just think why you can't choose people based on strength!"

"You are so naive!"

Carney snorted twice, "If that's the case, the national team may really become the garden of Barcelona and Real Madrid."

"Ha~"

Guti smiled.

After a while, Guti laughed and said, "Raul must be talking about me."

"why?"

"Because he was selected for the Olympic team and is going to participate in the Olympics."

"By the way, I almost forgot, and his little boyfriend was also selected, right?"

Carney's laughing words made Guti stunned. He glanced at Carney, and Carney, who had put down the football, was flipping through the newspapers they had just dropped by the bed.

It seemed that he was just joking, so Guti just smiled and said, "Yeah, yeah, people love to travel, we can only be locked up here, so pitiful~~"

"Actually, the Olympics are pretty good. You can see beautiful women if you are not too confrontational."

Carney glanced at Goodie.

"Are you thinking about spring?"

Guti pouted.

"Go away, I have a wife."

Carney scoffed.

It was almost time to be rounded up, Carney stretched his waist, "wash up and go to bed!"

Guti nodded, "I'm going to take a shower."

It's just that when he entered the bathroom, he heard Carney flying over from behind, "Remind Raul, don't show affection!"

Looking back, Guti saw that Carney had turned off the wall lamp and turned over to sleep.

With a self-deprecating smile, Guti thought, there are still a lot of discerning people. Many people can see it. Fortunately, the teammates around them are not talkative people. As long as they behave themselves, they should be fine.

Saturday, November 1996, 6

The first game of the European Cup kicked off, with England in Group A playing against Switzerland.

The match was played at Wembley Stadium in London.

This year's England's main goalkeeper is still Seaman. Although he has various misses, he is regarded as England's relatively stable goalkeeper in the national team. Think about him, except for Joe Hart, England is almost impossible to find. A goalkeeper who can resist the game, the kind of hard-pressed situation where he can only select the goalkeeper from the third-tier league team as a substitute, really deserves two haha ​​for England's noble and glamorous name.

In this game, all Spanish players watched together in the hotel conference room, not only to watch the game, but also to analyze England, who may become their opponent, about their formation and their player characteristics, etc.

"Their No. 2 looks good!"

The coaching staff pointed to the running young figure on the big screen and said.

Robin Camacho, who was in charge of the data analysis, was caught by Camacho from the Real Madrid coaching staff to work part-time, said, "This is Gary Neville from Manchester United, a rookie."

Guti squinted and stared at Neville running on the screen. It turned out that he had just made his debut at this time and participated in this competition. The golden generation of Manchester United in 92, tsk, that handsome guy Beckham among them seems to be on the stage Yue kicked that shocking lob and became famous with one goal!

Everyone listened to Ruoblan start to tell them about the characteristics of this newcomer, Guti smiled lightly.

The old man still believed in himself, and asked Ruoblan to collect a lot of information, even the footwork characteristics of the Manchester United rookie - he played against Manchester United in the warm-up match at the beginning of last season, it seems that since then the old man has made people collected their data.

After talking about Neville's characteristics, Ruoblan glanced at Guti who was sitting on the farthest side, "Manchester United's newcomers are very good. Coach Ferguson has put a lot of effort into them. Among the newcomers in May, David* Beckham kicked a huge lob in the game, very similar to the lob you took in the last minute of the game last year with Jose, and," he looked at Guti and laughed, "he's long. Very handsome, um, very handsome!"

There was muffled laughter in the meeting room.

Although Camacho led the team with strict notes, he would not specifically request that no jokes be allowed in this situation. This is also to let the players relax their tense emotions.

So when he heard Ruoblan's deliberate joke, he also laughed.

Seeing that the strict coach is also very relaxed, everyone laughed happily.

Only the distressed Guti sighed, "Sir, football players only need to look at their feet, and don't need to look at this face!"

"But he is really handsome, very similar to you, José," Robin nodded intentionally, "He has blond hair and a pretty face with green eyes, and now he is the most eye-catching newcomer in England!"

Guti rolled his eyes, "So what? He plays better than me? He is the main force of the first team? He entered the national team?"

This time, the people who were a little dull just now, and their laughter was a little deliberate, really laughed.

Enrique touched his chin, "I think Jose, you are good-looking, not handsome!"

"roll!"

Guti raised his middle finger.

"Now you are better than him."

Hierro was right.

"Of course."

Guti looked confident.

"Your skills are more comprehensive than his."

Alcorta made fun of it.

"Yes."

Guti puffed out his chest.

"You are already the main force of the first team."

Carney helped.

"You made it to the national team, he didn't."

Alfonso said.

"So, you are better than him."

This is Amaviska.

Guti was very happy to hear that, but why are the expressions on other people's faces so strange!

In the end, it was Enrique who solved the mystery, "But it's true that you are prettier than him. Hi~beauty~~"

Damn, it turned out that they were teasing themselves.

Guti was furious.

The team members from the club couldn't help laughing. You talked and laughed with each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became more harmonious.

After finishing the game and leaving the meeting room, Guti took a deep breath and made a serious representation to Hierro, "Captain, I understand your desire to get everyone in harmony, but can you stop using me as a target?"

Hierro smiled, "Isn't it possible?"

"Of course not."

"why?"

"Damaged my image."

Goody was serious.

"Oh!"

"team leader!"

"Good~~"

"team leader!"

"I see!"

"team leader!!!"

"Hey, please have some snacks."

"...Do you think you can buy me off with this trick?"

"cannot?"

"And, most importantly, what to eat in the UK!!!"

"Haha, look up to the stars?"

"...Let me die!"

The author has something to say: (*) No. 19 Salinas is a very old striker, and he is a player of the same period as Suby

PS: In the 90s and before, no matter in the club or the national team, newcomers will be subjected to various "tests", and being teased is already the lightest...
