Chapter 268: The Three Lions Sail Forward
After the match in Russia, England moved up one place to second place in Group E of the European Championship qualifiers!
At the top of the list is the Croatian national team!
They beat Andorra 3-1 away in a match on 12 September with 21 points!
The second phase of the Lee Three Lions was disbanded on the same spot on the night of the match against Russia, and the players returned to their respective clubs to report!
Because from September 15th, the 7th round of the English Premier League will kick off!
For Li Tongfan, this period of time is no different from a holiday, and England's next game is until mid-October, when they first face Estonia at home, and then four days later they will meet Hiddink and his disciples again in the snowy Russia!
Then, on November 16, the FA arranged a friendly match against Austria!
Five days later, on 21 November, England will face their final Euro 2008 qualifier at Wembley Stadium β group toppers Croatia!
Therefore, for more than a month after September 12, Li Tongfan had a lot of time to carry out his [Koala Project], and by the way, he took his parents to travel and sweep goods in major cities in Europe, and had a lot of fun!
"Crazy Lee Plays Paris!! γ
"Crazy Lee appears in the city of Rome!" γ
"Three Lions Coach Vatican Tour! γ
β¦β¦ Every day, there will be lace news about the madman Li Mou who appeared in a certain place and did something, and it will be published in the newspapers and magazines of the British Isles!
In addition to playing, Lee Tong-fan shot a lot of advertisements according to the sponsorship contract signed by [Shining Red Star]!
In the land of China and London, England, and even Madrid, Spain...... Basically, the city that can be related to the madman Li is full of posters of stuffy men scratching their heads and posing at the camera...... Suddenly, Li Tongfan's exposure rate actually surpassed that of Europe's most popular superstar!
Advertisers look for Lao Li, sponsors look for Lao Li, player agents recommend their own players, and best-selling authors volunteer to write autobiography for Lao Li...... There are even American Hollywood directors and producers with a well-developed commercial sense of smell, like sharks who have smelled blood, and have contacted [Shining Red Star] to ask Li Tongfan if he is interested in joining a certain blockbuster...... For such an incompetent performance of the madman Lee, England fans have always maintained enough tolerance!
As long as this man can bring victory to the Three Lions, no one will blame him for his private life, and people will even tease this young guy in a very kind way!
Such a situation is unbelievable in China, if a coach in China dares to do this, no matter what his record is, he would have been angrily denounced by fans and "leaders" as "national scum", and the scolding dog will not be able to turn over!
It is worth mentioning that The Sun did an interesting survey in the British Isles!
Sixty-seven percent of English people believe that Crazy Lee is the most famous man of the year, which is five times more than David Beckham and more than three times the combined ratio of other superstar players such as Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen...... What's even crazier is that 80% of English girls say they are willing to have a one-night stand with the madman Lee!
The beauties were not shy about saying that the invincibility of the madman Lee on the court would definitely be able to continue to the bed...... So Lao Li became the best surname fantasy object for the British Isles lady very scratched!
For a time, in the UK, the influence of the madman Lee exceeded that of any head coach! Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho all have to step aside!
Lee's whirlwind, gradually heating up!
###2007εΉ΄9ζ20ζ°!
Outside of football, something far-reaching has happened in England!
The early sub-prime housing credit crisis is quietly sprouting in Europe!
North Rock Bank, a major British bank, was unable to borrow additional funds to repay its maturing debt in mid-September 2007, and there was a frenzied run!
Due to the lack of continuous cash injection, a week later, Northern Rock Bank was finally taken over by the British political axe due to the fact that its highly leveraged housing credit business could not be supported!
This is a red flag!
This is not only happening in the UK, but also in the US and France, where investors have run on maturing bonds, and an invisible crisis has gradually loomed over the continent!
And that's just the beginning!
What no one expected was that in the next year or so, the resulting financial crisis would sweep the world overnight, and countless high-ranking multinational companies would go bankrupt...... And the Jinyuan Premier League, which has always appeared in the world as the most commercialized image, has also been invisibly affected!
The news about the recruitment and introduction of superstars by major giants during the winter break, which was frequently reported in the newspapers, gradually died down...... Alex Ferguson: "...... Manchester United's squad is close to perfection, so we won't be planning for the winter break! β
Roman Abramovich: "My ideal is for Chelsea to be self-financed one day, so we will be more rational in terms of buying players......
Nenitez: "I think the team needs to improve at the back, but it's looking difficult right now...... Mex? Yes, we looked at him some time ago, but now that we've lost interest, maybe there's a more affordable option than Mex......"
This is the case with several giants, and other middle and lower reaches can be seen!
The Premier League market seems to be shrinking silently!
β¦β¦ As soon as Li Tongfan was running FM2008, he was surprised to find that Newcastle Chairman Mick Ashley's [Chairman Status] column had changed dramatically - Ashley had changed from "loving the club" two months ago to "preparing to leave"!
What's going on?
Mick Ashley, who has only bought Newcastle for less than half a year, wants to sell the Magpies?
Lao Li's heart thumped and only jumped...... Here's your chance!
Although I only knew through the [system query function] that Newcastle's state and trend in the coming season were very bad, and there was even a possibility of relegation...... But I didn't expect things to be so bad!
What is it that causes Mick Ashley to be eager to change hands before he has a hot seat under his ass?
Could it be that something is wrong with his economy?
In Lao Li's original plan, he was to wait until Newcastle was about to be downgraded, and the stock price fell sharply just to buy it at the minimum price, but at this moment it seems that the situation has changed a little!
Lee Tong Fan Kai revised the plan, while Tolosi Tang put in more complex work in the following time!
###ε¨9ζ12ζ°ε°10ζ13ζ°ηδΈδΈͺζζΆι΄ιι’, the 9th round of the Premier League!
After 9 rounds, Mourinho's Blues Chelsea are in first place with 22 points from 9 games, 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and the second to fourth places are West Ham United, Liverpool and Wigan Athletic!
Among them, Liverpool has two fewer games due to the schedule!
Among the other members of BOG4, Arsenal also has two games less, with 7 games, 5 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses, and 15 points, ranking fifth!
The Red Devils' performance at Manchester United was a surprise - they have won only four of their nine games, lost three and drew two, and are seventh in the Premier League table!
Spanish player Juan Mata, who joined the Red Devils at a price of Β£10 million during last season's winter break, came off the bench just once in his first nine games, making 10 passes and making four errors in 30 minutes...... The youngster who was calling for the wind and rain on the right side of the Bernabeu was completely immersed in the fierce confrontation of the Premier League!
In fact, as early as the first day of the opening of the summer transfer market in the 07-08 season, Ferguson pushed Juan Mata into the transfer market!
The Red Devils' listing price for Juan Mata is only 5 million euros, and they are obviously prepared to lose money, but they didn't expect that in two months, no team has expressed interest in the European star half a season ago!
By the end of August, in the final days before the European transfer market closed, Mata's value had even dropped to 3 million euros, and the Red Devils had no choice but to send faxes of Juan Mata to European clubs of all sizes, but there was no response.
In the language of the FM system, it is "Juan Mata snubbed Kuramache in front of the goal, and no team wants to take in this wide player at this time!" β
Ferguson choked his head, the 10 million pounds are rotten in the pot!
Get down to business!
What made Li Tongfan a little disappointed was that Newcastle, which he was eyeing up, had improved after 9 rounds of the Premier League!
The Magpies have won two consecutive home games by big scores!
Although Michael Irving's [superman state] has been small since returning to the club, Li Tongfan arranged for Ito Yun to pick up acupuncture and qigong for him to a certain effect, and after recovering from injury, Owen showed his former killer style, scoring 2 goals in 3 games a month...... Although it is far inferior to the performance of the national team, it has already made Newcastle coach Sam Allardyce ecstatic!
You must know that before this, Owen was in a very awkward situation at Newcastle!
The super high value and salary in exchange for a sick seedling for two consecutive seasons have made the Magpies fans and players dissatisfied for a long time, and now everything is finally back to normal!
For Newcastle, everything seems to be going in a good direction at St James' Park, and no one has noticed that new owner Mick Ashley is already 'in Cao Ying's heart in Han'!
###10ζ10ζ°, England national team assembles again!
After the announcement of the third phase of Lee's England team squad, some people were happy and some were worried!
Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Joklan, who was lucky to be selected last time, waved goodbye to his national team career, and Joe Hart, who returned from injury, took his place!
Manchester United's reserve team youngster Ben Foster is out due to injury, Paul Robinson, a good old man with a good attitude, has finally returned to the Three Lions as he wished, while Portsmouth's nerve knife David James, who spoke ill of him last time because of his defeat, has been completely sent into the cold!
No one complained about the 37-year-old goalkeeper, because the madman Lee at this time was "covering the sky with one hand" in the British Isles!
Philips Neville's re-selection went beyond the expectations of the Bricks, who thought the West Ham defender would never be favored by Crazy Lee again after his second defeat, but West Ham's crazy performance in the Premier League earned the versatile defender a chance to perform!
Other than that, there are no changes on the back line!
In midfield, the return of Owen Hargreaves after returning from injury directly led to the frustration of Manchester United teammate Michael Carrick! Carrick didn't get a single minute of playing in Crazy Lee's previous three games, and it seems that Crazy Lee isn't cold about him!
Tottenham Hotspur's talented winger Aaron Lennon has rallied to the command of Crazy Lee and is at his disposal!
Newcastle youngster James Milner didn't have many opportunities to perform in the league, but he was still recognized by Crazy Lee!
And after Liverpool high school striker Pete Crouch returned from suspension, the madman Lee still insisted on recruiting Newcastle's "master" Ameoby, which is not a big upset!
No change on the forward line!
October 13 at 19:00! Clouds!!
England take on Estonia at Wembley!
After 90 minutes, the score was fixed at 4:0!
Captain David Beckham killed with a single blow from the Moon Scimitar in the 4th minute!
Michael Owen went to the game before the end of the first half and scored another goal!
England, who were replaced with young players in the second half, played more and more relaxed, with Wayne Rooney and Tiger Walcott scoring goals each in the 65th and 79th minutes of the game!
The 4:0 victory also gave England revenge for the reversal and draw by Estonia in the last round of the meeting between the two sides!
β¦β¦ The day after the match, the Three Lions travelled to Moscow to challenge the Russian national team away!
This match is seen as a revenge battle for the Russian national team!
The 4-1 rout at Wembley Stadium on September 13 was the biggest defeat since Dutchman Guus Hius took charge of the Russian team, and the entire Siberian wilderness hopes that the Russian strong men who drink vodka as milk will rise up and win back!
And the pre-match format is also very beneficial for the Russian national team!
England has a temperate maritime climate, and the weather in October is not too cold, but after arriving in Moscow, the superstars of the Third Legion immediately showed that they were not adapted, because the climate here was almost below zero!
Several veterans such as Paul Robinson and Gary Neville switched to colds after the first training session, while youngster Manzioni sprained his ankle in training due to a lack of warm-up...... In addition to the weather, there is also bad news for England - the core of the team David Beckham and Frank Lampard are suspended for accumulating yellow cards!
In the battle on October 17, the Russian national team will face an England team whose strength has been greatly reduced due to the lack of major generals!
That's why the Russians are confident! ββ
Today there are more than 10,000, which is considered compensation for the number of words yesterday! I hope that the character of the knife has not dropped in price! ββ
