No. 700: Beckenham's Regret!
During the Q&A session, an Italian journalist asked: "It is of great significance to be the first non-national coach in the history of football to lead a team to the World Cup, what do you think made you successful?" ”
It's a very deep question, and Capello thinks about it and says: "Success comes from many factors, and the FA has given me a lot of right to hire people and a lot of trust that is the foundation of success.
The second reason is that I have a group of great players in my hands who have chosen to sacrifice and compromise in the face of their dreams, fully integrating their individual interests into the collective good.
Thirdly, and very importantly, we are a team that has withstood the rigors of the test, we have never flinched in the face of difficulties, we have never given up on the game no matter what the adverse situation is, and we have always believed that miracles will be born.
Without such belief, perhaps we would have been eliminated long ago!
Fourthly, as the game progressed, the players' form recovered quickly, and by the last two crucial games, the players' form was almost back to their peak.
Of course, there are many other reasons, such as the unwavering support of the fans, etc., I will not elaborate on them one by one. ”
A Spanish journalist asked: "Now we have good reason to suspect that Wang is injured, that you are setting off smoke bombs, why are you doing this?" ”
Capello smiled lightly, is this accusatory?
"If it were you, would you leave a core player who is fit and in great shape out of the starting line-up?
Aren't you afraid that doing so will cause turmoil in the locker room?
If Wang wasn't injured, why did he have to go up to the podium to receive the award with the support of his teammates after the race? ”
The Italian took a deep look at the Spanish journalist and said: "No one has the guts to put a core player who is fit and in great shape on the bench.
If you must think that this is a smoke bomb we have placed, I can't help it. ”
The reporter in the audience pondered for a moment and chose to believe the Italian's account, and the Spanish reporter wanted to refute it, but found that he could not find a reason to refute it.
In the next question session, no one made things difficult for the Italians anymore, and England could be said to have had a smooth ride in the group stage of this World Cup, but when it came to the knockout round, it encountered great difficulties.
The Anglo-Ukrainian game is a case in point, with John Terry receiving an early red card due to Ashley Cole's mistake and England having to play with one man less for the next 60 minutes or so, and the score has been behind.
If it weren't for Wang Rui's sudden outburst in stoppage time, the current England team would have returned to the UK for a holiday, and how could they have a chance to compete with Spain for the final championship, and finally won the championship.
Overcoming obstacles along the way, England's champions are full of color!
The Italian happily answered the reporters' questions and left the scene, leaving Girard alone.
"I won't say much about thanks, because there are so many people who need to be thanked." The England captain said: "It's been a miracle for me, it's a miracle and it's a dream come true, a dream come true for generations of England players, to get the trophy I want to win the most in my career! ”
"Four years ago we fell outside the door of the semi-finals, this year we didn't let history repeat itself, we not only made it to the final, but we also stood on the top of the podium!"
Girard raised the Hercules Cup next to the microphone and shouted, "We are champions!" We are World Cup winners! ”
This is a true outpouring of feelings, and the reporters in the audience will keep this scene forever.
……
At this moment, the English players were still in the dressing room, and many people were drunk, although the champagne was not high, in Peter's later words: "Even if we drank water in the dressing room that day, we would have been drunk." ”
Intoxicated!
When the England players finished showering, changed into clean clothes, walked out of the dressing room, and passed by the mixed interview area, they were surprised to find that there was not a single reporter here.
Where have the journalists gone?
Of course, they went back to the hotel to write a review.
Peter was a little disappointed, "Hey! …… I'm going to be ready for 10 minutes......"
Kending, who was holding Wang Rui, said with a smile: "You can record those words and send them to a reporter......
Peter raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I so shameless?" ”
Kentin asked, "Do you still have a face?" ”
Peter said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't give me a good reason, I'll go back tonight and I'll just pour you down!" ”
Kending shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "When it comes to the amount of alcohol, you are not much better than me, since you want a reason, I will give you a reason." ”
"For example, when we were at the Cape of Good Hope, you spitted on the ground, and others wanted to be fined, and you almost blurted out that you were so-and-so, if it wasn't for Oakes' quick reaction, you would probably have become a celebrity at that time......"
Kenting looked at Peter and asked, "You say, do you still have a face?" We almost lost our faces at the Cape of Good Hope with you! ”
Peter's face turned red, and he was short of breath, of course, he would not admit defeat: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't have that kind of idea to say who I was at that time, hum!" ”
Kendin wasn't annoyed either, but just asked, "Then can you tell me why Oakes is covering your mouth?" ”
If it goes on like this, it will definitely be endless, Wang Rui diverted the topic and said: "I heard that there are many valuable calligraphy, paintings and cultural relics and antiques in Buckingham Palace, do you know which ones?" ”
Peter flaunted his knowledge: "Buckingham Palace, I am most familiar with it......"
It was half past twelve in the evening when we got back to the hotel, but no one was sleepy, and the players opened their minds and gathered together to drink booze, and the Wolves quartet naturally got together.
In order to recover the scene in the mixed interview area, Peter and Kending got into a relationship, and Kending did not refuse, and the two of them couldn't talk for a long time.
Wang Rui and Oakes are relatively much more elegant, the two chatted about their years at Wolves, the miraculous battle of relegation from the English League, and the invincibility of Crazy Wolves' tactics in the League Cup, League Cup, Championship, and Premier League......
During this time, many teammates came to their room with wine bottles and toasted with them.
Among them, the arrival of Beckenham made several of them cry, the former England captain revealed his true feelings, and said after three glasses of wine with Wang Rui: "Thank you, so that I can retire without regrets, although I don't win the World Cup as a player, but I really have no regrets!" ”
Beckenham really has no regrets?
From his red eyes, you can see that he has great regrets.
Peter slurred and said, "Come, say this...... What to do, what to do...... Cup! ”
"Good! Cheers! ”
Beckenham finished the wine from his glass, staggered to his feet, and said, "You go on, I'll go around the other room." ”
After he walked out of the room, the four of them heard him say something like this: "Was I born a few years earlier, or was he a few years late?" (To be continued.) )
