football golden whistle

To see whether a player is a top player, or has the potential of a top player, there are usually three points to look at, namely running, passing, and finishing.

Capello's request to Ivan was succinct: "Please impress me from these three aspects, sir."

He asked Ivan to warm up briefly.

It's already March at this time, and the call-up orders for the England national team are becoming more and more frequent. On the Wembley Stadium today, there are many players that Ivan is familiar with training.

Seeing that the person mentioned by the media finally appeared, many players looked over curiously. Among them, acquaintances met and expressed their enthusiasm.

Rooney was the first to see Ivan. To a certain extent, they are considered true love. Rooney has always been proud of himself for being able to return to the national team today after he fell in love with Ivan on Twitter two years ago.

There was an assistant coach supervising the training, and Rooney didn't say much, but in society, I, Lu Xiaopang, don't need to talk too much. His greeting content hit the nail on the head: "Ivan, I heard that I was very happy to be your teammate in the past. Now it seems I have this opportunity to feel it, please don't hold back to give me happiness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the teammate next to him heard it. Defoe and Husky snorted, and their movements attracted the attention of Gerrard and Lampard.

Gerrard smiled at Ivan friendly, and Lampard reacted even more. He first widened his eyes in surprise, and wanted to run over to talk to Ivan.

It is rare for a calm Lampard to lose his composure, so Chelsea captain Terry turned his head and looked, he was even more uneasy than Lampard.

Alvin!Evan is back!

Little teammate, team favorite, he's really back!

Ivan waved at them and smiled. Now is obviously not the time to reminisce, and the assistant coach is already urging the players not to be distracted.

Ivan turned to Rooney and said, "Okay, I will give you happiness."

Everyone who heard their confused conversation: "..."

The touch of the reunion was weakened all of a sudden, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

On the edge of the court, Capello, who was watching this scene, asked the assistant coach who brought Ivan over next to him: "Do you think he can achieve the effect David said?"

The assistant coach thought for a while and said to Capello: "I think the possibility is very high, sir. Ivan is very familiar with many people in the England team. He has played in the Premier League. You have also watched his previous games. At least it will be easier for him to settle in with a few Chelsea players in a short period of time than those players from different clubs on the field. I know you are worried about his status, this is the inspection report."

The assistant coach handed the inspection report to Capello: "The report shows that his physique has completely passed the test. Although compared with the previous physical examination report, it is still insufficient, but it is enough. As long as he can prove himself, based on his previous performance in the game The ability to control, recovering half is also better than many players on the field."

Capello nodded and didn't speak. In fact, he didn't like Ivan's personal ability. What he really wanted to see was Ivan's tactical role.

Capello is a coach who requires players to absolutely abide by his own tactics. If a player cannot perform the task according to his requirements, then no matter how strong the opponent's personal ability is, he will not appoint him.

This can be seen from Capello's continuous training of Rooney and Heskey. As a striker, Heskey's career goals are lower than that of Higuita, who was once a goalkeeper.

Higuita is the goalkeeper who the Scorpion swung his tail to save the ball, the one who likes to wander out of the penalty area.

Although Husky's shooting ability is not good, but he has strength, can play containment, and disrupt the opponent's defense, so even if Husky can spit out all the cakes in his mouth, Capello still recognizes his dedication to the team effect.

After Ivan warmed up, he walked into the lawn and waited to see how the assistant coaches on the field would arrange it.

The England players were training in groups, and the ball happened to be saved by the substitute goalkeeper Joe Hart in front of the goal. This was a gap, and the ball passed through the crowd and rolled towards Ivan.

Ivan's movements were faster than his brain. The moment the ball came this way, he moved forward a few steps, accurately judged the ball's landing point, and kicked off the ball, and the ball flew back.

Joe Hart, who had just cleared the siege, was quite satisfied with his saving technique this time, but then he was dumbfounded, what the hell is going on? !How did the ball come back? !

He obviously jumped at it because there were no offensive players there!

He didn't have time to think too much, so he rushed forward based on his judgment.

But the ball passed his fingertips, and he tried his best, but he didn't touch the ball.

Looking at the ball bouncing in the net, Hart was terrified.

My mother, which ghost kicked this sudden dead corner kick? !

The team members all had the same idea, they turned their heads together and looked at the person who made the ball——

"Hey! Ivan! Well done!!!" Rooney took the lead in cheering, and players who were not familiar with Ivan knew who he was. It turned out to be the magical Ivan.

Ivan never hesitated to smile when facing his teammates. The sincerity and friendliness on his face made the spring of London bloom in March.

Capello stood not far away and nodded indistinctly.

Obviously, he had a calculation in his mind.

The assistant coach still knew Capello well, seeing him like this, he knew he was half done, and then he turned over a certain page of data: "This is his speed, he runs very fast, and it takes him less than 100 minutes for 11 meters. Seconds, this is already close to the level of track and field athletes."

Capello said: "I only know what it looks like with the ball."

So, next, the players trained on the field ushered in a new member. He is handsome, tall and confident, with a sincere smile on his face and full of politeness in his actions.

Different from the golden hair color of the native Englishman, his hair color is more low-key, not too dazzling, and looks quite submissive.

But soon, everyone stopped ignoring his existence.

Capello deliberately put Irving in the same team as Gerrard and Lampard, and he immediately noticed a different effect.

Ivan's ball distribution has a very agile side!

At the beginning, Gerrard still played on one side as the task assigned by Capello in the past, and left the midfield to Lampard for more activities.As a result, after playing, he found that he was already thousands of miles away from the midfielder.

He and Lampard seem to live in front of the door, I go up and you down, very rhythmic.

The gate guarded by Joe Hart bloomed frequently, and it was almost fruitless.

Shuangde is actually not good at going forward, but Ivan's long pass can always accurately give them the most comfortable position. With such an assist, any qualified forward will score.

The hard-working Joe Hart successfully became the background board. He was broken in various ways. Looking at Ivan who was attacking and playing, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

He can only comfort himself, fortunately, such a person is a teammate...

Fortunately, he was a referee before...

I heard many seniors mention their fear of being dominated by Irving in the 0708 season. At that time, all the Premier League teams fell into the vicious circle of being invincible against Chelsea.

Ai Wen's life experience can be called legendary, and it can only be said that God is jealous of talents.

The other players on the opposite side of Ivan were even more miserable. England lacked a midfielder. Now that Ivan is on the opposite side, the teammates on the other side seem to have been cut off. Rooney couldn't catch the ball at all, so he had to sit idle Standing on the opposite side with his hips akimbo in pain, watching all kinds of chicken and dog jumping in the backcourt.

While admiring, he still had time to talk nonsense with Hesky and Lennon: "When will the head coach change sides? Let Ivan come to our side, hehehe, I want to try the spring of scoring goals."

Lennon gave him a sideways glance: "There's always a chance." So you just stood still?Capello is watching you!Negative sabotage will result in wages being deducted!

Green, the goalkeeper on Ivan's side, was even more idle. He was so bored that he leaned against the goalpost and watched the frontcourt performance with a smile.

Although the weak team is the goalkeeper, which goalkeeper wants to be bombarded by the opponent every day? With awesome teammates, lying comfortably and winning is a great joy in life!

Capello watched carefully, lowering his head from time to time to write down something in his notebook.

After a while, he waved and took the initiative to call Aiwen.

Ai Wen touched his sweaty hair and ran over here.

"Coach, what's wrong?"

Capello looked at him and said: "Now I give you a task, I want you to run faster, don't just confine yourself to passing the ball, try to break forward by yourself."

Ivan nodded, he took the ball thrown by the fitness coach next to him, and ran back quickly.

Capello quickly saw what he wanted to see.

With the ball under his feet, Ivan ran all the way from the midfield to the penalty area. The interception of the opposite player failed to bring him more substantial damage. He protected the ball and successfully broke into the penalty area.

Two opposing players flanked him, trying to stop Aiwen from advancing by closing the door, so Aiwen fulfilled their wish. He didn't even roll his eyeballs, and knocked his inner instep. The ball seemed to have eyes. Passing between the opponent's separated legs, he went straight to the activated Gerald.

The Liverpool captain hit the goal with an effortless kick.

Capello bowed his head and wrote down in his notebook:

[Good at breaking through vertically and tearing the line of defense. 】

The confrontation training ended soon, and the assistant coach asked the players to drink water.

The players who received the rest order immediately began their long-awaited molesting ceremony for new members. Lampard changed his usual calmness and stepped forward to hug Ivan.

That's right, the kind where you hug her up and leave her feet off the ground.

Ivan put his hands on Lampard's shoulders, as if he couldn't believe that he was almost lifted up by Chelsea's big brother Lampard.

Terry was even more unsteady. Not only did he not stop Lampard, but he also helped others. He supported Ivan's thighs with both hands, so that Lampard would not be able to hold Ivan, and supported his teammates with practical actions.

"Welcome back, Ivan!" The two Chelsea teammates laughed and hugged Ivan tightly.

Rooney galloped over, he was so confident that Irwin was definitely credited for entering the national team, he let go of his reserve as a big brother of Manchester United, and wanted to give Irwin a bear hug with open arms.

Gerrard rubbed the hair on the back of Ivan's head to express his admiration for Ivan's assist.

This group of players yelled and vented wantonly, and those who didn't know it thought they had just won a hearty World Cup match.

It's not hearty!

In just over 20 minutes, this half of the English team seemed to have been opened up to the second line of the governor. Everyone is now full of confidence. They only feel that they are invincible and England will be invincible!

No wonder they vented so much. In fact, at least before today, their careers in the national team did not bring them too many happy memories. The head coach Capello absolutely said the same thing. His tactics are monotonous and dull, and he always wants to limit players. their inspiration and creativity.

England has high expectations for this team. Every player is under a lot of pressure. The domestic media does not sympathize with them. They are watching from the sidelines. As long as the members of the national team make the slightest mistake, they will immediately write about it. .

Alvin laughed, accepting the uncharacteristically enthusiastic gesture of affection expressed by his teammates.

For all the performances just now, he relied entirely on past experience and the still existing sense of the ball. The ability to read the game may fade. For Ivan, it is relatively easy to pick it up.

【Ding!It is detected that the host has temporarily changed his occupation, some functions of the VAR dynamic vision system are closed, and the primary repair medicine cannot be used during the World Cup, including the host itself and others. 】

Whether there is a system or not, it is the same as playing football. It used to be like this, and it is still like this now.So Ivan doesn't care what functions the system specifically turns off.

Meanwhile, the draw for this year's postponed World Cup is out.

England is divided into the bottom half, and this year's World Cup, England is particularly unlucky, they are in the bottom half of the H group, the last group, this is not a problem, the problem is, the seeds of the other three groups in the bottom half , namely Argentina, the Netherlands, and Brazil.

Portugal and Brazil make up the death group, they are in Group G, next door to England.

England fans: "..."

In other words, whether England qualify first or second in the group, the one-eighth knockout opponents they encounter are either Brazil or Portugal.

All England: Weeping.jpg

Let's take a look at the next step. If England go all the way, according to the rules of the World Cup, they will encounter Argentina, the leader of Group F.

England fans: biting the handkerchief and crying.jpg

What if we succeed in knocking out Argentina? !

Who will we meet? !

Forget it, we have really reached that point, we are already very strong, the opponents in the semi-finals will not be good, the top half is also a group of old and strong teams, they are France, Italy, Spain, and Germany.

England fans laughed and cried: Just be happy.jpg

But that's okay!Our baby Alvin is back!

Thighs of England!The mascot of the people of England!Britney Spears of England female fans!

He successfully entered the national team, which shows that his state must still be there!

England's major media hype is in full swing, and England teammates are still a little worried that Ivan is under too much psychological pressure, so they come to communicate with Ivan one after another.

Lu Xiaopang pulled Aiwen and forced him to say: "Aiwen, you just remember to pass the ball to me madly. Don't put too much pressure on us and let us score the goal."

As a result, those who comforted them were comforted in turn.

Ivan was fine, he said to Rooney: "Don't be nervous Wayne, there are still three months before the World Cup."

"..."

A player who can not be nervous at this level really has a big heart.In awe.jpg

In the friendly match against Brazil a week later, the coaches of both sides did not play too many main players due to tactical considerations. They used more substitute players to play.

The Brazil team led by Dunga has rarely recruited too many big-name stars this year. Adriano and Ronaldinho are not included in Brazil's squad this year. Kaka has become the most famous player in the team.The Brazilian coach's move aroused dissatisfaction among the Brazilian nationals, but I believe that he must have his own considerations in doing so.

The Brazilian team will accept the invitation for this friendly match. In fact, they want to see the strength of England's surprise player Irving. Card came off the bench for a few minutes, and on England's side, Capello didn't even put Ivan on the court for even a second.

The English fans were very disappointed. They were eager to see Irwin's performance, so under such calls, the FA accepted the invitation from the last new champion Italy to feel the strength of the champion team.

The selection of targets for such a friendly match is very meaningful. England has no choice but to find Italy, the 2006 World Cup champion.

Their lineup has basically not changed, it is still the same group of people, even the coach has not changed, and it is still the famous Italian coach Lippi.

It is said that Capello came to coach England only after seeing the success of his compatriots in the Italian national team.His exact words to the media were that he hoped to lead England to the World Cup as the first foreign coach.

Although Capello is a capable coach, his rhetoric also gave many Englishmen a dose of reassurance, so the fans' expectations were all-time high.

In Capello's view, the Italian lineup is seriously aging. To a certain extent, there is nothing to fear if there is no experience and no physical strength.

The most important thing is that Italy lacks super offensive players. They are no longer the era of golden players like Baggio, Inzaghi, and Pirlo.

Italy, known as the reinforced concrete defense, is facing the combination of Shuangde, Rooney, Ivan and others?

Anyway, the grouping distance is far away, so it is not certain whether the World Cup can be met.

This international friendly match was held at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy, which can accommodate more than 80000 people. Today, there are no empty seats there, and it is rare that tickets are hard to buy in a friendly match.

England also reported a high degree of attention to this game. Capello finally let go in an interview with an England reporter before the game, saying that he would let Ivan play.

Britney, a regular in the headlines, has once again contracted the attention of everyone in England.

The author has something to say: For the needs of the plot, the group order of the World Cup has been modified.

Group A: South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay, France

Group B: Italy, Paraguay, New Zealand, Slovakia

Group C: Spain, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile

Group D: Germany, Australia, Serbia, Ghana

Group E: Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, Cameroon

Group F: Argentina, Nigeria, South Korea, Greece

Group G: Brazil, Portugal, North Korea, Côte d'Ivoire

Group H: England, United States, Algeria, Slovenia

Seeing this group, you should understand something hehehe
