Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 944: The next opponent in the heart of the li

Even if one night passed, some of England's supporters still couldn't believe this reality-their team actually beat Portugal 4:2.

The game seemed to be dreaming and it was impressive.

Portugal is also a traditional European strong team, and it stands to reason that it is not as good as England. Therefore, it is not a big deal for England to win Portugal, but it is easy to win. It is not normal to win a 4:2 score...

Although England did not take advantage from the beginning to the end, the score speaks for itself. 4:2, very proud.

The English media's analysis on this is very simple and surprisingly consistent-it is not that Portugal is too weak, but we are too strong! England is a world-class strong team, and it is normal to beat the top European team Portugal 4:2. England fans are accustomed to what the media say, they believe. Since the media say that England is strong, then England is really strong.

For a time, the country was full of various optimism, as if qualifying from the group is no longer a problem, and even the European championship is not easy.

Later, it was not only the domestic trend of thought, but even some people in the England team thought so.

Before they thought that without George Wood, the game would be tough. Unexpectedly, playing a strong team like Portugal could easily win 4:2, which made them very proud.

The atmosphere during training the next day was very relaxed. Everyone was still talking about yesterday's game, and the aftertaste made people feel emotional.

Dunn didn't care about these things either. He is full of ideas about how to deal with Germany. Yes, he skipped Wales directly... In his mind, even without George Wood, Wales would not be able to make a big storm. Dunn knows their level very well, and the team has just won Portugal and the morale is booming, the game should not be a problem five days later.

The training lasted only half a day, and Dunn announced a holiday, half a day today, and a day off tomorrow. Anyway, enough time. The Premier League is the league with the most intensive schedule, and the players of the English team are also more tired than players in other leagues. Dunn seizes every opportunity to give the team a holiday to avoid them being too tired.

The players are very happy, they can go shopping and relax.

But one person did not move with them.

George Wood continued his recovery training by soaking in the hotel swimming pool. Although the coaching staff told him he didn't need to work so hard, no one could persuade the determined Wood.

Dunn didn't care about Wood either. He decided to give himself a half-day vacation and go to Shania. The European Cup is a job for me, and a vacation for Shania.

After a simple disguise, the two wandered in the streets of Barcelona. It's not people who are dressed up by fans passing by. England fans have not recognized Tony Dunn as the person wearing sunglasses and beautiful women, and the Welsh fans will not care about him.

England's next game is also here, or Camp Nou. After the game against Wales, they will move to Valencia to prepare for the focus of the German team.

"It's only now that I am in the mood to go out shopping." Dunn said as he looked at the people beside him.

"Does the pressure increase as you go backwards?" Shania took Dun En's arm and nestled on his shoulder.

"That's natural."

"If the pressure is high, shouldn't it be better to come out and relax?" Shania smiled badly.

Dunn stretched out her hand that was not held by Shania and scratched her nose.

"Lying on the bed and thinking about you will relax." Dunn said a pun. Shania had obviously thought of what he was talking about. On the sunny streets of Barcelona, ​​she was also generous, turned her head and kissed Dunn.

After bidding farewell to Shania, Dunn walked slowly back to the hotel where he was staying.

Some players have come back early and are sitting in the cafe to rest. Seeing that the boss came back, they all got up and greeted him. Dunn swept around among them and asked, "Where is George?"

Everyone knows that the boss cares about George more than the coach cares about the players. So it's no surprise that they looked at each other, and then shrugged to the boss: "I didn't see him. Maybe in the room, maybe in the swimming pool, maybe in the gym. Boss."

"Um... you continue to play." Dunn waved his hand and left the cafe and walked to the gym.

He thought Wood might be in the gym very well.

Sure enough, he just walked out of the door and heard the sound of the impact of the equipment coming from inside. The hotel gym has been booked by the England team, and the only person who can practice in it at this time is George Wood.

Dunn stood at the door and saw the strong figure with his back to the exit. On his bare back, sweat gleamed brightly under the light.

"Take a break, George." Dunn raised his voice and shouted.

Wood turned his head to look at Dunn who was standing at the door, and he got off the equipment obediently.

"How do you feel?" Dunn stepped up and handed him a dry towel.

"Very good." Wood wiped his face with a towel.

"It seems to be recovering well, I'm relieved." Tang En looked at his big toe on his right foot, there was nothing unusual there just by naked eyes.

In fact, Dunn came to him this time because he wanted to tell him something. He has been thinking about such a problem since England won Portugal.

It stands to reason that a lineup that can win consecutive games should not be changed at will, unless there are special circumstances such as injuries. If luck is good, this lineup without George Wood has been won and won until the knockout stage, and there are no injuries bothering him, then after Wood is injured, will the team still have his place?

Dunn loves Wood, otherwise he would not insist on bringing Wood to Spain, whose foot injury had not healed. But he is not a person whose personal feelings trumps everything. He is actually a utilitarian head coach. Since this lineup can bring him victory, what reason does Wood have to intervene? Regardless of the results or the locker room unity, he has no way to forcibly dismantle the winning lineup, just to make room for Wood's comeback.

This is not right. If he does, the prestige he has built within the team is in danger of collapse.

But if Wood is not allowed to play, what is it for bringing him to Spain? Wood is definitely not willing to sit on the bench all the time. It's okay to win the European Cup. What if you lose halfway? Will Wood hate himself forever?

So he wanted to come and have a good talk with Wood.

"Is there anything to do with me?" Wood saw that Dunn was stunned, so he asked.

"Um..." Dunn scratched his hair, "George, remember how I told you back then? It's by the swimming pool of this hotel. I said that even if you wait until the knockout stage, I can't play the game. Guarantee. Do you know what that means?"

Wood nodded, not embarrassing Dunn: "I know. Now that the team has won, it cannot easily change the main lineup."

Dunn breathed a sigh of relief when Wood was so sensible.

Dunn didn't tell him anything like "You are the captain, you have to lead by example" and other nonsense. He knew that Woodken said this, which meant he accepted this reality.

But Wood suddenly added: "I will try to get a chance to play."

Dunn smiled: "Don't try too hard, be careful and hurt your foot again. Let's go, go to rest, relax." He pulled Wood.

Wood shook his head: "I still have a group of sit-ups..."

Dunn shrugged: "Anyway, if you hurt again, you really have no chance."

"I know." Wood was already busy.

Dunn waved his hand, turned and walked out.

This kid is so healthy, why is he injured?

God is upset that I have been domineering for eleven years. Do you want to trouble me?

You thief God!

While the English players are still relaxing on the streets and sunny beaches of Barcelona, ​​the Welsh team is closing the door and practicing hard. The intensity of training twice a day seems to be that they are not preparing for a group stage, but the European Cup final.

Gareth Bale has become the focus of the team, because the training these days has been around his specialty-set-piece drills.

Tosak has designed no less than ten set ball tactics for Wales, all of which need to be completed by Bell. Now all Europe knows that Bale is a master of free kicks, as long as he stands in front of the ball, the opposite goalkeeper will be nervous.

Wales lost to Germany in the first group match without any suspense, 0:3, they were shaved and lost without fighting back. Although this result was expected by the Welsh fans, the Welsh players did not want to accept such a result. After forty years have finally passed and reached the European Cup finals, how can you leave in the group stage? The Welsh players, who had never been able to participate in this kind of world competition before, became ambitious and wanted to prove their strength.

Tosak expects England to underestimate the enemy after a big victory over Portugal. Tony Dunn is now estimated to be full of games against the German team, which is exactly what he can use.

After the end of the team training, Bell stayed again and did a direct free kick.

According to the original agreement, he came to Spain. But he did not intend to stop there. Even in the face of his mentor, he will defeat him as a goal.

Tosak appeared outside the court: "Gareth."

Bale looked back at his coach, breathing heavily.

"It's time to go back."

This is not in the club, you can go home after the extra practice. They borrowed the Olympic Stadium (Lluis_Companys), the home stadium of the Espanyol. After training here, the team needs to take a bus to return to their hotel. Bell's extra training time cannot be too long, otherwise it will affect the team's work and rest time.

Bell kicked the last football placed under his feet towards the goal. The football bypassed the wall, but eventually hit the crossbar and bounced out.

Someone took care of the equipment on the court, and Bell left the court with his head down.

Twenty-six-year-old Bell looks more mature than before.

Toshak looked at his back and thought.

The English media has begun to hype the battle between Britain and Germany. Everyone in the newspaper bought by the English will remind everyone in a prominent position how many days, hours, and minutes are left before the battle between Britain and Germany.

Everyone is on the bus, on the subway, in the office, in their own kitchen, in the bar, in the streets and alleys... wherever people gather, they talk about "Germany".

The grievances between the English and Germans are so long that it gives people an illusion-has the grievances between them started since the birth of modern football?

At the same time, Wales, as the weakest team in this group, is not enough to arouse the interest of the arrogant English.

"We beat Portugal 4:2, do we still need to worry about Wales? A neighbor who is struggling under our noses, the weak can't bear to kill them."

If there are statistics, it is estimated that 100% of England fans would think so.

Not only England’s fans and the media ignored Wales, but even England’s players thought that the Welsh game was insignificant.

In an interview, Michael Johnson stated that he has no doubt that the team can defeat Wales, and that Germany should be careful.

Mitchell mentioned Wales, but that was also because his friend Gareth Bale was on the team.

"Bell is a very good player, I think we have to be careful of his free kicks..." All in all, Bell is very good. As for the other Welsh players, he probably doesn't know who they are.

On the contrary, the Welsh players have expressed great respect and importance to England. They did not seem to be irritated by the situation and attitude of the English people. When talking about England, they all said that England is very strong, very strong.

It seems that they are really afraid of the powerful England, and dare not have any other ideas.

The Welsh media also said that being able to participate in the European Cup finals is already very satisfying. This has been the biggest breakthrough in Welsh football in 40 years. Being placed in the group of death, it is really bad luck, there is no way to not qualify for the group...

Losing to Germany in the first game has already demonstrated the strength of Wales. Unrealistic delusions will not help the team, they only need to play three group matches. At the very least, when they leave the European Cup, they can't be embarrassed without a goal.

"Playing against England, our goal is to score goals." Tosak said humbly. "We hope to leave a little proof that we have been here before."

So why didn't Tony Dunn look at this?

"Wales is a very powerful opponent, we will deal with it seriously..." He seemed a little absent-minded who said this.

"Duplicity!" The Welsh reporters commented on Dunn's performance in their hearts. "I'm afraid he's all pretending to be'German' now, right?"

I complained that England did not respect their opponents, but the Welsh reporters themselves knew that tomorrow's game had better not have any hope. Today's morale in England is strong, even if it is facing Germany, there is a belief that it will win. Not to mention Little Wales...

For forty years, I finally broke into the European Cup finals again, but only gave the green leaves under the roses, and served people with wine...

Although this is true, it is really unwilling to think of it.
