"Why not?" Beckenbauer answered a reporter's question with his hands in his pockets, "I once said that if there were no Mark in England's first game, they would lose 0:3, and a defender would only open up. A team with feet has no future"

"Then why do you now think that England has a chance to win the championship?" the reporter asked.

"Football is full of changes. After a series of events on and off the field, Capello can make England have such a performance. Obviously he has found the answer, and the performance of England on the field made me admire. The MR team found them. In the right position, they will reach the top 16 and play better and better!"

England’s "Daily Mirror" also published an interview with Ferguson today. He said: I called Rooney before the game. Obviously, his previous behavior (insulting the fans) was because of too much pressure. Tell him to relax, don't expect too much to affect his performance, and learn to enjoy the game. Obviously he did it last game and I am happy for him.

Of course, England has found their rhythm. When that person (Mark) starts to be in a harmonious rhythm with the whole team, it is time for others to be unlucky. I have been an enemy with him for 3 years in the Premier League. Anyone needs to understand him, England will reach the top 16 without a doubt.

As for how far they can go, it depends on what kind of performance MR has in the knockout rounds, and their defensive problems must be solved, which is too fatal.

"The Times": England's 50-year history of ten life and death battles, 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses! Although we are currently ranked first in the group, we still cannot bear the consequences of losing. Fortunately, England has a high winning rate at the moment of life and death. All England fans firmly believe that reaching the top 16 is not a problem!

"Marca": World Cup Golden Boot odds, Mark is the first, and the top 10 forwards follow closely! At present, all the teams have finished the second round of the game, and the competition for the scorer list is beginning to emerge.

1. Mark, loses 1 to 5. Reason: Have you not watched football in the past three years?

2. Torres and Villa lose 10 to 1.

3. Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney lose 13 to 1.

4. Fabiano and Nierma lose 17 to 1.

5. Messi, Aguero, lose 21 to 1.

6, Klose, Higuain, 1 to 26.

When the entire England team arrived in Port Elizabeth, the media was already clamoring. In less than 4 days, all 8 teams in the final round of 16 games will be played. At that time, the first stage of the World Cup group stage. It also came to an end.

The three-British match expected by the media was not staged due to Messi Ronaldo’s sluggish state. Ronaldo only scored a consolation goal in the victory against North Korea. Messi had 0 goals and 0 assists, which was completely gone. No solution in the club.

The top scorer now is Higuain, who performed a hat-trick in the World Cup for the first time. At least seven or eight other goals like Mark Qin and Rooney have scored two goals.

In the number of assists, Maqin led the way with 3 assists. Not only that, he also ranked first in the number of passes and success rate. Only the Spanish midfielder Three Musketeers can compete with him.

The French team was eliminated by the host South Africa. As soon as they entered the hotel, they got the news of the game that had just ended. When they were on the plane, the two games of Group A had already started.

This is the biggest upset of this World Cup so far, but as early as the second round they broke out in the locker room, there are not many media optimistic about them, and now everyone's guess is completely implemented.

"Do you want to be the second French team? Of course not, so we have to go all out for the game tomorrow noon, take a good rest, and not go out privately at night", when the lobby was disbanded, Capello found out Use, use France as a negative teaching material.

Makqin and Rooney watched the other two games of Group B in the room at night. Messi continued to 0 goals and 0 assists, disappointing the media collectively. Fortunately, Argentina qualified.

"Messi won't work for the national team," Rooney said, hey, this guy, he said as if you were good at it, and then he tuned to another channel, "Korea has qualified, I hate the South Korean team."

"I don't like it either." Maqin came out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth. "Hurry up and wash and rest. You will be cheerleading in the stands tomorrow. I have to play."

"Huh," Rooney lowered his head and looked helpless, and was hit, "I swear I will never take off my shirt again"

...

Port Elizabeth is a city in South Africa bordering the Indian Ocean and one of the most important ports in South Africa. Needless to say, it is also a European city, because it was a military fortress at the beginning.

The city has a small population and looks like hundreds of thousands. Although it is called Port Elizabeth, it has nothing to do with the Queen of England. It is named after the wife of a British governor.

There are the most famous beaches in South Africa. It is a mecca for surfing, sailing and other marine sports enthusiasts. It is also a good place for seaside tourism, but it is still necessary to pay attention to security issues.

This trip to England is a bit tossing because it is not far from Cape Town, but they have to go back and forth to Rustenburg once, which is equivalent to 4 flights back and forth in 5 days.

Early the next morning, the English staff and the head of the organizing committee first went to confirm the course, including the route, changing rooms, turf, etc. The schedule for the English players was to start dinner at 9:30 and then stay in the hotel for a while Do some activities and set off to the stadium on time at 12 o'clock.

Since the game was scheduled to take place at 2 pm, they saved the meal at noon. The stadium is called Mandela Bay Stadium, which can accommodate less than 50,000 people. It is also a new stadium built for the World Cup.

The stadium is named after the famous South African President Mandela. Because Port Elizabeth is the hometown of Mandela, the stadium is also very creative in design. It is located on the bank of the North Lake Prince Alfred Park. It is surrounded by water on three sides. The zenith is like a flower petal, which surrounds the stadium into a lotus flower blooming by the water, beautifully.

When the England team arrived here at noon, Maqin took a few photos specially. For football players, it is also very interesting for football players to go to different stadiums and save these various stadium photos. , At least Maqin likes to do it.

Although the stadium is not big, there are especially many fans from England, because the number of fans in Slovenia is not large, and the population of their entire country is only about 2 million, so England can get more tickets.

Fans painted with the English flag on their faces saw the team's bus coming over, and immediately fell into a boil. Various cheering and cheering continued, "Go, England, the top 16, we are here!", "Three Lions will win!" , "Mark, Mark, defeat Slovenia!"

Mark Qin and the others smiled and waved to the enthusiastic fans outside, and the bus drove directly into the stadium, and the focus of this Group C battle officially kicked off.

Slovenia is a small country, but its economy is quite developed. In some small countries in Europe, the level of football has nothing to do with the size and population of the country. The future of Iceland will prove this. Iceland has a population of just over 300,000.

Once these data are compared, many national football associations should blush.

Before the game, Slovenia was not at all timid when facing the media, although their biggest stars were goalkeeper Handanovic, high center forward Novakovic, and Koren, who played for West Brom in the Premier League. .

"We will beat England and advance to the round of 16. They won't take advantage of us. The boys are ready to fight them." Slovenia coach Matt Yaz Kok was interviewed. Said.

"Their striker Rooney was unable to play in this game. This is a good thing for us. It will make the pressure on our back line much less. Regarding Mark, I will not arrange someone to follow him. In the last game Algeria arranged 2 people. , It has been proven wrong, I believe in our defensive system"

At the same time, another Group C match of the United States VS Algeria will also be played at the Loftos Stadium in Pretoria. The final result will be known in 4 hours.

Mark Qin changed into the red jersey in the locker room and walked out of the aisle with his teammates and began to warm up. Today they are an away sign and Slovenia is also white, so they wore red.

Upon entering the stadium, the atmosphere of the Premier League was blown over. This stadium is one of the few professional football stadiums during the World Cup. It was built last year. The auditorium is very close, but security measures have been added.

The fans of England and Slovenia had been seated in their respective areas for a long time, and the stadium was very noisy. As the team's fans stood for most of them, Mark Qin finally heard the cheers of the fans overwhelming the annoying buzzing Zula.

"Boom", "England", "Mark", "Gerard", seeing the English players in red training jackets warming up, the fans in the stands immediately became restless.

"Good noon, everyone, the players have already started to warm up. Just now Mark and Joe Cole came out," Lineker said to the camera, "There is about an hour before the start of the game."

"Wilson," Lineker turned around and asked, "Capello announced the starting list yesterday. What do you think of this list?"

Wilson nodded and said: "This game is quite critical. For several changes in the lineup, Capello can also be said to be helpless. He played so well in the last game. In fact, he should want to use the last one. The starting lineup of the field"

"The goalkeeper link ~lightnovelpub.net~ can be said to be the most troublesome for Capello, but he has no choice at all. There is only one Joe Hart can use. This season Joe Hart has firmly established himself in Manchester City. Not bad, but his biggest problem is that he is too young and can not bear the pressure of the World Cup is a problem."

"Terry's return is expected. If it weren't for off-court factors, Terry would definitely be the most trusted choice for the defense. I hope that after a team ban and a public apology, Terry can put all his thoughts on the court. Help the team"

"There is also Rooney's position. I originally guessed that Capello might move Gerrard to the left and choose a right midfielder, but obviously Capello surprised me today."

"He didn't make any position changes in the midfield, but let Darren Bent replace Rooney's position. It seems that he doesn't want to disrupt the chemical reaction that was hard to build in the game."

"Darren Bent's performance in Manchester City this season is an experience," Lineker said after taking over. "But he is more of a second striker next to Ibrahimovic at the club. Rooney is not sure if he can be in this position. competent"

"He can play two wingers," Neville said. "Before moving to Manchester City, he was a counter-attack striker and was no stranger to wingers. Compared to Defoe, he should indeed be a better replacement for Rooney. s Choice"

Following their commentary and analysis, the England team has finished the warm-up and walked back to the locker room. In the VIP stand, Prince William arrived as scheduled, and LeBron James, who likes Liverpool, has become a fan of Mark Qin. And I was thinking about coming here in the summer when the Heat started the era of giants, obviously to avoid the American media.

The life and death battle in the Gulf will begin soon...
