Three days passed in a flash. The entire England team was preparing for a battle at the training base. Although the media fans outside were full of enthusiasm, Capello's closed policy ensured their internal peace.

In the past few days, they have held 5 or 6 tactical meetings, all to study how to deal with their semi-final opponent: the Dutch team.

The pragmatic style of play makes the Dutch team not particularly strong in the eyes of the outside world. The media are mostly optimistic that England, which has a stronger attacking power, will win, but Capello is on the verge of an enemy.

This is the most serious and meticulous game he has prepared so far. It is definitely not that easy to play against a team that defends, especially if the team is still strong.

This season's Inter Milan has deeply confirmed this. Barcelona has not lost a few games in a season, and in the end the Champions League final fell at the feet of Inter Milan.

Coincidentally, the Dutch play style is very similar to Inter Milan, and their core is Sneijder. Perhaps after escaping from Real Madrid and spending a peak season at Inter Milan, self-confidence is bursting. Now in the Dutch team, he is actually the best. A good shooter, he has scored 4 goals and 2 assists in 5 games.

The battle between the two core midfielders, Mark Qin VS Sneijder, was staged twice.

In the year when Mark Qin was crowned the champion of the Champions League, Real Madrid lost a shameful 1:6 to Liverpool at the Bernabeu. At that time, the full-back was Sneijder.

After going to Inter Milan, the down-to-earth Sneijder was finally reborn in Mourinho's anti-revolutionary system, proving his No. 10 football status.

He is Mourinho's favorite core type of midfielder, active defensive, has long passes and penetration, the style of play is simple and not fancy, and he can come and shoot long shots from time to time.

Capello is a master-level figure in Italy's anti-revolutionary defense. Of course, he knows how difficult it is for a trained anti-revolutionary team, and it is particularly easy to make you overturned.

Therefore, they have especially practiced intensive defense in the past few days, and the full-backs are no longer allowed to press on assists, and they also deliberately practiced penalty kicks.

However, Makqin has no confidence in England's penalty level, and the attribute of losing every point cannot be reversed at a half-time. He must be determined in overtime at the latest.

On July 6, South Africa time, the first semi-final, the British-Dutch battle is imminent!

This morning, England and the Netherlands set off from their respective training bases and arrived in Cape Town. Just tonight, at the Green Point Stadium, it will be known who will win the final ticket.

...

Peterson and McManaman began to do pre-match analysis on Sky Sports programs, and highlights of the two teams' promotion are shown on the big screen.

In the previous 5 games, England had 4 wins and 1 tie, while the Netherlands had a record of 5 wins. England scored more goals than Holland, but the Netherlands lost fewer goals than England.

This is a game completely different from the matchup between England and the Netherlands in the impression of many fans. It is not yet known who will die.

"I haven't had a game for four days, and my brain is about to rust," Peterson said exaggeratedly. "Now I feel like I was waiting for my mother to buy the candy back when I was a kid, and I look forward to tonight."

"Very appropriate," McCain recalled with a smile, "I still remember the pomp in 90 years, when I was 18 years old and Kenny (Dalglish) just gave me a professional contract."

"In Italy, Gaza (Gazcoigne) was born, and we also eliminated Cameroon smoothly and entered the top four, all England set off'Gaza fever', now 20 years have passed, I have been sitting Understand that at the forum, but the scene of Britain at this time is like a repeat of the year."

The director immediately caught up with the extremely popular fans all over the UK, such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool... Peterson wowed and continued: "As far as we know, there has been a number of tourists from the UK to South Africa in recent days. Explosive growth, just like going to Italy back then"

"I clearly remember Gascoigne’s performance in that game. At that time, he was the only British genius behind Bobby Charlton. Now it is said that Messi is the strongest dribbling player in football. In my eyes, Gaza was the strongest at that time, his dribbling, imaginative second pass..."

The same scene always reminds some people with stories of the past, as if the past has come again!

"Gooooool... Pratt, a second pass from Gascoigne, we reached the top 8..."

"Gooooool..., Lineker, penalty, penalty..., Gascoigne's second pass, genius, absolute genius, this is completely his personal performance, we turned defeat into victory, and eliminated Cameroon!"

The roar of the narrator accompanied the replay of the historical screen of the director, and once again appeared in front of many fans. The real Gascoigne is the Italian summer that became famous in 90 years, just like the current Mackin, he turned out Born, he is in full control of England's offense.

Although there are not many direct goals, he has the same dribbling skills as South American players, excellent explosiveness, and general imagination, which really makes England a midfielder!

His role is similar to Ronaldinho, with a personal breakthrough to create opportunities, a brilliant last pass, and a needle in the front court. It can be said that without him in the World Cup, England would never be able to break into the quarterfinals.

So that the whole England loves Gascoigne, things are rare and expensive, and so are people!

Now this scene is repeated in South Africa. Without Mark Qin, can England reach the top four?

"Maybe not", McCain shook his head and said, "He is now the hottest superstar in the UK. It is not an exaggeration to say'Marc Hot'. 5 goals and 6 assists, which can be called **** data, but I think Mark's greatest contribution Yes, he successfully activated the team. Rooney, Gerrard and Crouch all performed their best performances since participating in the World Cup."

"Just like Bobby Charlton in 66, Gaza in 90, Beckham in 1998," Peterson nodded and said, "There is no doubt that he has become the pinnacle of the British era."

After Gascoigne retired, David Beckham did not do it, he did it!

This is not a heritage, but a trend of the times. He is now in England, Saint Mark!

"The game will start on time at 8:30 in the evening," Peterson continued. "Let's take a look at the interviews of the players from the two teams by the front reporter in the past two days..."

Then, one by one, coaches and players from both sides appeared on the TV screen and began to talk about their views on this cup and the game.

Van Marwijk: Now the whole world is talking about the fact that England has broken into the top four after 20 years, but few people talk about us. We have also made it into the top four after 12 years. I don’t know why, but We are not jealous at all. This is a good thing for us. We have less pressure. England is very aggressive this year, but we are fully prepared to win.

Robben: Many people are criticizing us for playing defensive counterattacks. I don’t know what to criticize. Everyone used to praise how beautiful we played, but we have never won a world championship. I would rather ugly 1: 0 wins, unwilling to lose the game gorgeously, the result is more important than anything.

Van Persie: The Dutch predecessors won two consecutive World Cup runners-up in 74 and 1978. They are brilliant, and now we have a chance to win again. Now we have to fight for them.

Kuyt: It is always reluctant to face against Mark. England has three of my teammates. This is very interesting, but we are not afraid because we believe that the current Holland is strong enough. .

After the players of the Dutch team accepted the interview, the camera turned and the England training base appeared again, and Capello took the players for the interview.

Capello: The top four is indeed a proud achievement for us, but that has become a thing of the past. We need to forget it, not indulge in celebration.

Now we are facing the last two games. It is very simple. If we win, we will fight for the championship, and if we lose, we will fight for the third or fourth place. I think the fans are more willing to see which one, no need to say more.

Gerrard: When I was 10 years old, I was fortunate enough to see the great performances of the predecessors in England. Now we also have this opportunity to bring joy to the English fans. In addition to going all out, we don't need to think more.

Mark Qin: The Dutch team is a very strong team. It should be the strongest team we have encountered since the World Cup. They won 5 consecutive victories, which is not easy, but when you stand in this position, What do you think, there is only the Hercules Cup, we are in good shape now, so come on, Holland!

Rooney: We have completed a great step for England. The morale of the team is high. Now is the time to face our next opponent. We are now very strong and fearless, so tonight we will continue to move forward. The glory belongs to Great England!

"The interviews between the two teams before the game showed strong confidence." After the broadcast, Peterson reopened the conversation. "Now, they are facing a historic moment. Both teams have not played for decades. In the finals, no matter who wins today, their fans will be completely crazy"

"Speaking of which," Peterson turned his head and asked, "Mcca, how much do you think England has a chance to make it to the final today? The two teams' last 4 matches have completely tied the record, and England has 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss."

"As long as you don't make mistakes, England has a high probability," McManaman said affirmatively. "The Netherlands is a typical defensive counterattack. The defense is fierce. You see this Dutch team will feel like Inter Milan."

"They will tear up space on the two wings and create opportunities for a quick counterattack, but England's current control and offensive system will also be the strongest opponent the Dutch team has encountered this time."

"Mark's role cannot be replaced, and the best midfielder in the world today is Mark. He has proven this for countless times in Liverpool, and there is no need to say more."

"I'm really looking forward to it," Peterson said. "Mark, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, can they accomplish the great achievements that Gascoigne and Beckham failed to accomplish, and once again lead England to enter The World Cup finals, everything will be announced tonight..."

"Hula! England", "Hula! Surely win!", England's bus from Cape Town Airport to the hotel, along the way, crowded with fans holding England cheering scarves.

Many fans from the eliminated countries have left South Africa ~lightnovelpub.net~, but more semi-final fans have also poured into South Africa, so the excitement here has not diminished.

They are like sending their soldiers out on the march, shouting fierce cheering slogans, holding high the flag, football, in their eyes is modern warfare, it represents the glory of the country!

Not only the fans, but the two sides also dispatched more media. After preliminary calculations, if the two teams can successfully enter the World Cup finals and win the championship, they will contribute about 0.1 to 0.3 points to the economic GDP growth of the two countries. This is undoubtedly a help for the economies of the two countries in deep financial crisis.

Don't be surprised. The consumption quotas generated by entertainment in the West are not yet understandable to us. This is why we are now vigorously developing the entertainment industry.

In addition to the direct consumption made by fans due to the World Cup, the greater effect of winning the championship is to increase the consumer confidence index of the people of the two countries, thereby promoting economic growth. In Western countries, personal consumption has always been the main proportion of GDP growth.

How wide your influence is, how high your status is, Maqin stepped off the bus and stepped into the hotel, the national team game casual wear, the upside-down peaked cap, the sunglasses trolley box, the mountain whistling tsunami Saint Mark...
