11 Before the Great War
11 Before the Great War
When the England and Argentina teams arrived at the Sapporo Dome World Cup Stadium in Japan, the first Mars-to-Earth match in this World Cup is about to begin.
The moment the Argentine team walked towards the bus, the surrounding Argentine fans and a large number of media were facing them with flashing lights.
New captain Lionel Weir was in the spotlight as he scored a hat-trick of assists on his World Cup debut.
But in the eyes of a generation of queen Madonna, Batty, the eternal god of war, is wearing headphones as calm as water.
Ariel Ortega, Javier Zanetti, Pablo Aimar, Diego Simeone... Argentine stars stepped off the bus one after another, and the only person who seemed a little lonely was probably Juan Veron up.
"This is the dome that can be switched to a baseball stadium in an hour?" This is the first time for the Argentine team to come here, because they gave up the opportunity to adapt to the dome for an hour yesterday...
The Argentines have a serious face, but their opponents England are very different.
Years from now, you might say Eriksson was conservative, but what the Swede brought to England far outweighed the criticism he received.
At least, it took him several years to build the most powerful England team in half a century.
At least, Eriksson knows people. After being eliminated from the World Cup in 6 years, the English blamed Eriksson overwhelmingly, but who remembers that it was Eriksson who brought England into the World Cup in 2010!
It was he who created the Three Lions with Beckham as the core!
On the football field, the fans only remember your present, and your glory, your past, only on the day you retire, history will give you real justice.
Eriksson also gave up the opportunity to adapt to the Dome Stadium one day earlier before the game. When the Swede smiled and walked into the Dome Stadium with the players, people thought he was forcing a smile, but in fact he had already There are countermeasures against Argentina!
"Hargreaves! If Leonwell's position appears on the front midfielder today, then you are responsible for marking him! I have studied all his videos. Although the Argentines have many stars, but when they put Leon When Will pushes forward, it is tantamount to asking for death. Leon Will is not a player who is good at physical confrontation. When he plays the midfielder, we are not easy to deal with him, but now, Bielsa Push him to the front midfielder position, then Hargreaves, you have only one task throughout the game, follow Lionwell firmly."
"Ashley Cole, Ortega is good at breaking through, but he likes to fight alone. Speed is your advantage. His physical fitness and speed can't keep up with you! I want you to lock him on the wing for me, Turn him into a trapped beast!"
"Sorin is a player who likes to put in assists, so there must be a lot of gaps in his body, Stephen (Gerrard), if there is a chance, you must shoot! The Argentine is full of stars, but at the same time there are loopholes. Hundreds of shots! Although Batty is the God of War, as long as he locks up the passer, then he is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Michael (Owen), your task today is to surprise Argentina's backcourt. Among their central defenders, Ayala, the only one who can keep up with your rhythm, is no longer able to play. Whether it is Samuel or Pochettino, Their foot frequency is not as fast as yours! You have to create opportunities for us to set the ball as much as possible."
"And David, you are the captain! I want you to be involved both offensively and defensively! Paul (Scholes), if our situation is not good, then you have to control the situation as soon as possible, you are The midfielder is the one I trust the most with the ball."
Use Hargreaves who can't run to freeze Leonwell, Cole's decision to go wherever Ortega is, and a counterattack strategy as long as Thorin inserts an assist...Using Owen's dexterity And pace, Scholes' solidity and dispatch and Beckham's free-kicks...
Eriksson has already counted all the arrangements of the Argentines to death!
As the person who sits on the second throne in the UK, how can Eriksson be comparable to the waste material like McLaren later?
Use vitality to crush your opponents! If the wings of the pampas eagle are restricted, can they still spread their wings and soar?
Just when Eriksson had already made the arrangement, in the Argentine locker room, Bielsa arranged the Argentine's offensive line as usual.
At this time, the lunatic Bielsa didn't know that Eriksson, who had a lot of information, had already drawn each of his offensive routes on the English tactical board.
There is no coincidence... In his previous life, Eriksson dared to say that he would take all three points. Everything was within his expectations. The reason is very simple. He saw the crux of this invincible Argentina team!
Offense wins fans, defense wins championships!
...
At the Japan Dome World Cup Stadium, the fans of the two teams cheered loudly. The collision between the English and the Argentines attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
British Sky TV, Gary Lineker said before the game: "To beat this unbeatable team, I think we have to make good use of our youth!"
Kempes and Validek, the two ace commentators of Argentine Digital Satellite Television, think: "We have the best players and morale! We have reason to believe that these players on the field will bring us an hour and a half later. victory!"
Of course, no one knows the result of this game better than Leon!
In this game in the previous life, Argentina's offense was completely suppressed by England. When the offense of the Argentines, who are famous for their offense, is suppressed, then their defense, which they are not good at, will be full of loopholes...
Coupled with the chasing teenager Michael Owen in Argentina's defense, the world was turned upside down.
So before the start of the game, Leon also walked in front of Samuel, Pochettino and other defenders to remind them to pay attention to Irving.
Samuel nodded, while Pochettino dismissed Leon's reminder.
"Michael Owen? If he dares to sway in front of me, I will definitely let him go." Pochettino said confidently.
Phew... I wish! Leon really told Pochettino at this time, it was you who brought down Owen in the penalty area because you couldn't keep up with Owen's speed and dexterity in the previous life, and gave the England team a winning penalty!
Leon now only hopes that his arrival can change history.
He doesn't want Argentina to go home in the group stage.
...
"Ready, guys?" Bielsa said, looking at the crowd in the dressing room, after checking the time.
The players let out a low roar!
The hatred of the Falklands War, Englishmen, just wash your necks and wait!
the other side...
"David, don't think too much, you are the captain now, believe me, we will be able to defeat Argentina." Eriksson said, patting his lover on the shoulder.
Beckham, who kept a mohawk, nodded. Unlike other teammates with a smile on his face, he and Argentina had already formed a relationship four years ago.
This is a knot in Beckham's heart, and he is puzzled and unhappy.
The war between Britain and Afghanistan is coming!
In today's game, the bald referee Collina will be in charge of law enforcement in this crucial battle.
In the player channel, he smiled and looked at the two captains of the British and Afghan teams and said: "Two handsome guys, I want to tell you that I hope that your two teams can devote their energy to the game. I think you also know that I paid for it." Cards will never be polite."
Collina's words made Lionwell and Beckham both smile.
By the way, Beckham couldn't help but glance at Leon. Is this guy the captain of Argentina?
Eriksson told all the English players before the game that as long as they can take the lead first, Argentina will definitely fight among themselves...Why is the coach so sure? Beckham has been thinking about this question. Does the coach think that Leonwell, a young guy, can't hold down the Argentine superstars?
But wasn't he voted for by his teammates?
After thinking about it for a while, Beckham stopped thinking and focused on the game.
And Leon's face was a little serious at this time, because he was very worried that this Argentine team would make the same big mistakes as in his previous life... especially the overconfident Pochettino.
Leon always felt that after he became the captain, this guy, Veron, and Chamott were unhappy with him.
Hope nothing happens!
For some reason, Leon suddenly remembered what Zanetti said to him in the morning.
"Okay, let's play, young people, don't make the fans wait too fast!" Collina smiled and walked in the front, leading the 22 players from the English and Arab teams.
Sapporo Dome Stadium, with the appearance of players from the two teams, the atmosphere of the entire World Cup stadium has reached its peak!
"Japanese hk TV station...I am the commentator Murakami..."
"Korean TV, I am Li Xuanjun, the commentator! Today I will..."
"Sky England, I'm Lineker, and I'm very pleased to have Martin Taylor and I commenting for you!"
"Argentine Digital Satellite Television, the game is about to start now, I am Kempes, and I am standing next to Varidek. Today we will bring you the second round of the World Cup group match between Argentina and England! "
"Sky Italia..."
"French national television..."
"Al Jazeera..."
"China Central Television..."
A lot of attention, a gathering of superstars.
Players from the two teams came out with Japanese caddies! On the stage of the World Cup, this game will surely become a classic in the future!
England's voice is loud, and their new national team captain David Beckham has got the support of all English people!
People will never forget that Beckham's crucial free kick against Greece was a lore! That goal brought England into the World Cup, and that moment turned Beckham from a human into a god!
"Get revenge David!!!!" The English hoisted a giant Beckham No. 7 jersey in their stands.
The neutral Japanese female fans also left the applause, cheers and screams to David Beckham!
And the fans of the Argentine team were not to be outdone, they put up a jersey of Batty, the god of war, in their stands!
The name of God of War is unrivaled!
With the end of the national anthems of the two countries, God Save the Queen and the March of the Motherland, the Dome stadium once again reached the climax of the atmosphere!
Corina, the most famous bald man in the history of refereeing in the world, is already watching his watch.
The Anglo-Argentine war is about to begin!
