387 Dialogue between captains
David Beckham quits England!
Xiaobei couldn't bear the pressure of abuse and decided to retire from the national team!
…… For a while, the whole of Europe was boiling, especially England, which bore the brunt of the attack, and everyone was surprised, because the decision came so suddenly that even Eriksen said that he did not know in advance, and it was only afterwards that Beckham personally called him to tell him about the decision.
'I'm disappointed, it's a huge loss for England, he's a vital part of the squad and I did everything I could to keep him, but he chose to retire from the national team, even though he's only 29 years old and at the peak of his form, I'm going to miss him, the door is always open for him!'
Relative to the jubilation of a large number of journalists in the face of David Beckham's decision to retire from the national team, including Martin? Samuel and others, all lamented the decision, and if Scholes' departure was bearable, then Beckham's retirement would make it seem like someone had lost their backbone overnight.
"Without Beckham, England will collapse completely!" Martin? Samuel prophesied.
As team-mates in the national team, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Gary? Neville, Terry, Curtis and others have all come forward in the hope that Beckham will reconsider his decision to retire, but after announcing the decision at the press conference, Beckham declined all interviews.
…………………… Xiao Yu slowly walked through the training area of the youth team and came to the training ground of the first team.
It is considered to be one of the most modern training grounds in Europe, with a geothermal system underground, which allows you to train even on snowy days, and a drainage system that is very important in rainy Manchester.
David Beckham practised his free-kicks in a corner of the training pitch alone, as he did after every practice, while Drogba and the others had already finished practising and were running to the indoor soccer stadium to play.
The indoor soccer tournaments within the Red Rebels are becoming more and more popular, and now there is a trend of mixed matches between youth and senior teams, making the team play together and the atmosphere is very lively.
David Beckham will play in that kind of game, but he certainly wasn't in that mood today.
With one foot and accurate penalty shot, Beckham didn't seem to notice Xiao Yu's arrival, and Xiao Yu didn't bother him, found a place to sit down on the side, and watched quietly.
No one's success is accidental, just like Xiao Xiao Luo went to the gym all day to practice his body, Robben honed his little skills, etc., although they are talented, but they all have to have this body after very hard training.
If you have no talent, no one wants to be a superstar without hard work!
As a less talented Beckham than the likes of Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Kaka, his success can be seen as a history of struggle, and he was almost the first to arrive at the training ground, but he was often the last to leave.
After punishing today's share, Beckham came over sweating profusely, Xiao Yu grabbed a bottle of water next to him and threw it over, he took it, opened the bottle, and wanted to drink it, but he didn't move, and sat down instead.
Neither of them spoke at first, quietly looking at the sky, and it began to darken.
"Was this decision a bit presumptuous?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.
He doesn't care at all whether Beckham retires from the national team or not, and he doesn't care about Beckham's losses after retiring from the national team, he just cares about his friends and worries that he will regret it in the future!
Beckham shook his head, "No, I thought it through, maybe they were right, England would be stronger without Beckham, and my exit would be better for everyone, wouldn't it?" After saying that, he smiled bitterly.
"That's, David!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but refute him, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is the media building momentum, and a group of ignorant fans are being bewitched, you should use your own strength to prove yourself as before!" ”
Beckham shook his head, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Do you know what I learned about playing in England?" ”
Xiao Yu naturally couldn't know this.
"I felt it more and more, so I became a stumbling block to what they call the team!" Beckham himself cruelly admitted this.
After being silent for a while, Beckham looked around with emotion, and said with a smile: "But when I come back here, I feel that I have unprecedented fighting spirit and passion, and I feel that I am at ease with my teammates, and I can even say that I am like a fish in water." ”
Xiao Yu understands Beckham's experience very well, and he also mentioned this to Mourinho, as Mourinho said, Beckham has adapted to the way the Red Rebels play and ideas, he is surrounded by a group of talented stars, everyone echoes each other and runs to cooperate, when the team is slow, Beckham can easily control the rhythm.
But what about England?
Beckham, who plays as a right midfield, is far from the core, and other players will not cooperate with him to run and pass the ball, only Gary? Neville was able to echo him, and the others barely thought about controlling the tempo in their heads.
They can't be blamed for this, it's Roy who controls the tempo at Manchester United? Keane, Scholes also stepped in; Arsenal control the tempo with a combination of Pire and Vieira; Chelsea control the tempo with Deco and Veron; Liverpool is Xavi? Alonso.
Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Lampard, Joe? Kerr and the others don't need to think about the tempo at all, they are in charge of attacking on the field, and once there is no one to help them control the tempo, they are like wild horses that have come out of the stiffness, and they don't know how to rest until they are exhausted.
However, during Beckham's two years with the Red Rebels, he began to know how to control the tempo and arrange the physical fitness more reasonably, and he knew better how to move smartly, to coordinate with his teammates, to assist in the defense, and to disrupt the opponent's passing routes.
None of this is possible in England!
The feeling of powerlessness made Beckham feel depressed and depressed, especially when he became a sinner in all England.
But he didn't choose to erupt, he chose to be like Scholes, since I can't accommodate this team, then I choose to leave!
Xiao Yu patted Beckham's shoulder comfortingly, and the two stood up tacitly.
"No matter what, David, I support your decision and I am confident that you will not be willing to let it go, and the next game against Chelsea is an opportunity, a chance to prove yourself again!" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Beckham nodded in agreement, he knew very well that his decision to retire from the national team had brought Xiao Yu a lot of trouble, including sponsors, but also the team's image, but Xiao Yu didn't mention a word, just clarified his position and supported himself, and this friendship made Beckham very grateful.
The two didn't say anything, just looked at each other and smiled, and Xiao Yu turned around and left the training ground.
…………………… After a two-week hiatus, the Premier League resumed on 11 September.
The highlight of the round was undoubtedly the Red Rebels' away game against Chelsea, a game that was in the spotlight but was scheduled to take place a separate day later.
The other games of this round were played in the afternoon and evening of 11 November, with Liverpool beating West Bromwich Albion 3-0, Manchester United beating Bolton Wanderers 1-2 and Arsenal beating Fulham 0-3.
Several other games have also been decided, leaving only the Red Rebels to take on Chelsea on the 12th, which has attracted the attention of countless fans, especially after the two waves of the shell crash and David Beckham's withdrawal from the England national team.
Looking at the standings, Chelsea have been in good form lately, with Andriy Shevchenko, Joe Shevchenko, Joe? The central midfield of Cole, Frank Lampard, Deco, Veron and Emerson can be described as luxurious, and their attacking power this season is also the best in the Premier League, and four consecutive league wins have put them at the top of the table.
The backline of Bridge, Cannavaro, Stam and Pacos Ferreira, combined with the presence of Germany's rising goalkeeper Hildebrand, has made Chelsea's backline solid.
As for the Red Rebels, the start was quite solid, although there was no big win, but every game was able to win the opponent steadily, if there is any flaw, I am afraid it is Mourinho's improvement of the attacking combination in the frontcourt, the players are still adapting to this adjustment, I believe that after surviving the run-in period, the team's attacking power will improve.
Defensively, Jose Mourinho lined up a defensive combination of Patrice Evra, John Terry, Curtis and McConn, while the goalkeeper remained Petr Cech.
McConn instead of Colo? Toure's start was also seen as a sign of Mourinho's determination to play attacking tactics away from home.
Brazil international Kaka returned home after a long journey, Mourinho took his situation into account and put him on the bench, arranging a back three of De Rossi, David Beckham and Essien, with the front three of Ronaldo, Villa and Messi in front.
Both sides can be said to be the main players, with the Red Rebels' Didier Drogba suffering a minor foot injury in the national team and not travelling south to London with the team, while Ismael was on the bench.
Before the game, the managers of both sides touted each other's players in a press conference, and Carlo Ancelotti believes that the Red Rebels have a lot of talent and quality, especially the young Ronaldo, the Portuguese youngster who has been in excellent form in the recently concluded World Cup qualifiers in Portugal, scoring three goals in two games.
Jose Mourinho, on the other hand, touted Carlo Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation, believing that he has fully exploited the potential of all of Chelsea's players, while also effectively blending them together as a whole, and is the most serious contender for the Premier League title this season.
Despite the pre-match hype, everyone could see the smell of gunpowder, especially the direct dialogue between Frank Lampard and David Beckham.
With Paul Scholes and David Beckham retiring from the national team, the battle between Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard at the heart has intensified, and with the media fueling the fray, both are eager to become England's key players and new captains.
The best way to prove yourself and prove that you have what it takes to be the heart of England is to beat your predecessor David Beckham in a head-to-head match.
Therefore, before the game, many media began to hype that the Red Rebels' match against Chelsea will be a direct confrontation between Beckham and Frank Lampard.
If looking at the last two weeks, Beckham has been busy with off-pitch sponsorship contracts, coupled with his recent slump in form; Frank Lampard, on the other hand, has been actively preparing for the game and has performed well in the national team, leading everyone to believe that Frank Lampard's Chelsea will crush the Red Rebels.
William Hill bookmakers have even set odds for the pair to clash with Frank Lampard ahead and Chelsea with a much higher chance of winning than the Red Rebels, all of which show that everyone is looking forward to Chelsea.
It is under this almost one-sided disadvantage that this strong dialogue officially kicked off!
