Green Life

v4 Chapter 34: War drums

"Gooooooool............, Suarez, Uruguay takes the lead again, the Dutch golden boots from Ajax, today he scored twice, a beautiful arc"

There were bursts of cheers on the TV, as well as the Su Shen, who is very familiar with Maqin but who is just emerging now. He stretched out three fingers, kissed and rushed to the corner area.

This guy has finally begun to show his vigor, the best all-around forward of his time, none of them.

Mark Qin leaned on the couch in the training villa and looked at Suarez with a little playfulness. Maybe their first meeting would be in the World Cup, if they can successfully pass the Ghana level at night.

The call lights of the video equipment flashed, he immediately switched with the remote control, and Capello's face appeared on the TV, "All the team members, go to the restaurant for dinner, and another hour and a half, we will leave on time."

He looked up at the clock, then turned off the TV, picked up the equipment he had already packed, and walked to the door.

Successive teammates all walked out of their villas and gathered together to discuss the game just now, "Uruguay played well. We have reached the quarterfinals and we will follow them."

"The two of their forwards are very good. Fran didn't notice it when he was at Manchester United. He went to La Liga and took the European Golden Boots. And Suarez today, I heard that he was from the Eredivisie."

"These two basically arranged 80% of Uruguay's offense, and 5 of the 6 goals. They should be regarded as one of the dark horses."

"Don't think about the quarterfinals. We are going to play Ghana tonight. Do you think we can win it?" Beckham walked over and said, like a team leader.

Although African teams have gradually risen over the years, most European teams believe that their main opponents are still European teams or South American teams. For them, they will not regard these emerging teams as strong teams.

Even if their teammates may have their own club teammates, this existing concept cannot be changed overnight.

Lampard came over and put his arms around Maqin's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Essien texted me and Terry. He said he would treat us well, especially you."

What Makqin didn't know was that he was injured before the World Cup in Essien, and he did not catch up with this one. However, the change in the Premier League layout has indirectly changed Essien's destiny.

"Does he plan to prevent us from killing us and advance by penalty kick?" Mark Qin said jokingly.

In this World Cup in Africa, six African teams have local advantages, but they almost disappeared. Only Ghana advanced to the knockout rounds.

Moreover, Ghana did not score a goal in the sports game. It relied solely on two penalty kicks sent by the opponent to get one win and one tie, and then relied on Germany's victory over Australia to surpass the opponent in goal difference before advancing through the league.

"Don't underestimate them," Lampard said. "African teams have always been unstable. If they drive them crazy, everyone will dare to win. There are too many accidents in the cup."

Everyone walked into the restaurant while chatting. Capello had been waiting in it for a long time, and then they had a meal. Capello seized the time again to emphasize the places that needed attention.

The first is that until the end of the game, all of them, including Makqin, cannot accept media interviews.

Furthermore, we cannot underestimate the enemy, and we cannot underestimate Ghana just because we played well in the group stage.

...

The Banfalken Stadium in Rustenburg has almost become half of England’s home stadium. Because the team’s location is nearby, many English fans have also chosen to stay here.

Their bus came out of the sports center and was escorted by English fans all the way. It is only 10 minutes away from the stadium, which can almost be said to be there.

Of course, the small stadium cannot accommodate such a large number of fans from both sides. What's more, this is a knockout match. When Makqin and the others arrived outside the stadium, it was already surrounded by water and there were fans from both sides with national flags smeared everywhere.

"England, England"

"Ghana, Ghana"

The shouts filled the surroundings of the stadium, and there were many media with cameras on the scene interviewing.

"Ghana 2: 1 England, we advance", "England 3: 0 Ghana", of course there are also individual friendly fans standing together in team uniforms.

In addition to being a major event, the World Cup is also a grand event for fans to travel and celebrate. I don't know how many people take this opportunity to travel abroad, watching the game and browsing the local customs, without delay.

"Dear audience friends, we have seen that the coach from England has arrived first and entered the stadium," said the foreign correspondent of CCTV and Duan Xuan of the studio.

"Because Capello has been closed training before the game and refused all interviews, it is a pity that we have not been able to interview Mr. Ma, who everyone cares about. Recently, he has a lot of news. Capello is doing this for the purpose of protecting him. "

"In addition, many fans may not understand that Ghana’s head coach Rajevac has coached in Guoan for four years and knows China very well. In an interview with us, he said that Makqin’s success has pointed the way for many domestic players. "

"Oh? Let's see that the Ghanaian bus has arrived, and the race is about to start in two hours. The current Rustenburg, the sun is slanting west, can be said to be very beautiful..."

Duan Xuan in the studio nodded. After thanking the reporter for the report, he said to Zhang Lu, who had just arrived next to him, "Zhang Zhi, the game will start soon. What do you think of the two teams starting today? ?"

England starting list:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Upson, Terry, Glen Johnson

Midfielder: Barry, Mackin, Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard

Forward: Crouch

Ghana team starting list:

Goalkeeper: Kingston

Defenders: Panthill, Inkum, John Mensah, Salpe, Holsan Mensah

Midfielders: Asamoah, Essien, Boateng, Ayo

Forward: Ji An

Zhang Lu was a little tired, smiled and nodded and said: "Both teams announced the starting roster for this game this morning."

He habitually picked up a pen and pointed at the information, "England Rooney's return is expected. Upson replaced Carragher at the back line. I guess that first, considering his age, his physical recovery is not so fast. There is a Ghanaian team that can rush and grab, and Upson has an advantage in this regard."

"As for Ghana, Rajevac", as Zhang Lu's old subordinate, he is very familiar with the Serb. "He is completely changed. They have always used 442 pairs of forwards in the group stage. This game dropped one. The forward changed to a central defender, and the intention is self-explanatory, just to fear the firepower of England"

Duan Xuan immediately popularized the performance of the England group stage. They were not optimistic at the beginning. After three games, they scored 9 goals and ranked first in all the top 16 goals.

This surprised all the analysts, and what was even more surprising was that Mark Qin had 3 goals and 4 assists and made 7 goals alone.

Otherwise, it will not arouse the collective excitement of the media, and fight for him and force the war in full swing.

"Ghana, Africa is now the only seedling," Zhang Lu said. "In fact, they can defend well, and Germany has not taken much advantage of them."

"In comparison, their biggest problem is on offense. There are a lot of stars, but the state is really average. The team doesn't have a clear organizational routine. It still depends on more individuals."

"England's performance in the last two games is really beyond my imagination to be honest," Zhang Lu continued, "Algeria and Slovenia, although they are both weak teams, they are not too weak to enter the World Cup."

"England has somewhat recovered to the level of their qualifiers when they chopped melons and vegetables. Except for the great power of President Ma, who we all know, Capello is still a good coach."

Duan Xuan nodded and said, "Indeed, the wrist is very tough, and possible divisions in the team were suppressed in time, and he also resolutely changed the formation to establish President Ma's absolute core position."

"Yes." Zhang Lu obviously talked about sex. "England, the team, I always said before the start of the World Cup, how far they can go depends on how well the organization plays."

"Except for President Ma, no one can hold the position to organize this team. If you think Rooney is in front and Terry is behind, then President Ma can hold the formation with the golden ball."

"Then you predict the outcome of this game, who is most likely to advance," Duan Xuan said.

Zhang Lu chuckled, "To be honest, England's winning side is bigger, and their state curve is like this", he gestured, "It's going up, it's better than one game."

"MR combined with double virtues, Ghana's five guards may not be able to prevent them, these people have a range outside the penalty area..."

At this time, England's players have come out of the channel and began to warm up. Unlike the first game, they were greeted with cheers as soon as they came out.

"God Bless the Queen, England, GOGOGO", the atmosphere of the knockout matches is completely different from the group stage, and the enthusiasm of the fans has reached a new height.

At this time, Capello immediately began to set up the tactical play on the tactical board for a while in the locker room. The players warm up and come back to explain the tactical play. This game cannot be missed, because the top 8 is the minimum goal required by the FA.

The referee Victor also had the final discussion with the team in the referee's room. They were under pressure in this game.

Because before the game, many media broke that in order to save this local African World Cup, the only Ghanaian team may be taken care of by the referee.

And their opponent is England, where the media is well-developed, any small mistakes will be infinitely magnified.

As time passed, the sky became more and more late, the stadium lights were all on, and Banfken was as bright as the day.

The two teams have all finished their warm-ups and are heading to the locker room. The commentators of all countries are ready and waiting for the start of the second 1/8 final.

Whether it is England's strong advancement or the only African seedling making history, the results will be obtained in 2 hours.

In the locker room, Capello "pop" threw the pen explaining the tactics on the table and said solemnly: "There are two results waiting for us in 90 minutes. Leave here to the next stadium, or leave here. go on holiday"

"I know that you have not rested this season, and your body is very tired, but today your opponent is the Ghana team, they are strong and physically active."

"If we get into the top 8 and our opponent is Uruguay, do you think the top 4 is beckoning to you? That's right, we got a very favorable half-area pick and you," he raised his finger. "It is possible to tie England's best results in the World Cup in more than 20 years"

"Think about it, eh? Think about it," he continued while pacing, "Many of you will become national heroes, and you can prove to the world that England's football is also world-class."

"And to do all of this, start from here," he said loudly, pointing to the stadium outside, "kill Ghana for me!"

"Kill Ghana!"

"Kill Ghana..."

"Roar……"

Everyone was enthusiastic, opened the door and stepped onto the real road to the God Cup. This road is not long, but no mistakes are tolerated, because you will go home if you fail once...
