No. 543: No starters?
As the time of the game approached, the crowd grew at the Rustenburg Real Baffouken Stadium, with England fans in traditional white jerseys gathering on the north side of the stadium and American fans in grey shirts sitting on the south side.
The shrill sounds of vuvuzula and shouts make the stadium lively.
Half an hour before the game, the reporters got the starting lists of both sides, and the reporters exploded in an instant!
If Peter and Kentin did not enter the starting lineup, it only surprised them a little, but Wang Rui did not enter the starting lineup, which surprised them.
Peter and Kending were already hovering on the edge of the main lineup, and it was easy to accept that they did not make the starting lineup, but Wang Rui has already proved himself with two warm-up games.
Almost all the media predicted the lineup before the game, and thought that he should be in the starting lineup for granted, but Capello surprised everyone.
Park Sung-hwan was in high spirits, and he seemed to see Wang Rui's depressed face......
Daily Mail reporter Michael sighed: "Capello is really conservative, but it's okay, Wang can feel the atmosphere of the World Cup on the bench first, which is good for him to come on the bench." ”
This view was echoed by the journalist next to him, with the middle-aged journalist from London saying: "There is not much suspense that England will win tonight, but when it comes to the knockout rounds, you need a player like Wang." ”
"Capello's arrangement just shows the importance he attaches to the king."
The sparkle on Park's face was gone, and as a veteran journalist, he thought the London reporter next to him was very reasonable.
……
Back last night, Capello was in his room discussing the starting line-up with his assistants, and the Italian surprised Beckenham by putting Wang Rui on the bench.
"No, Mr. Capello, you should put Wang in the starting lineup! Wang is in very good shape. If you arrange it this way, it may cause him to be dissatisfied,"
Since it's a discussion, you should always listen to other people's opinions.
But Capello's stubbornness was once again on display: "I'm good for him, have you ever thought that starting for him is an honor, but more pressure. ”
"Also, you know how the performance on the debut affects a player's later games."
Beckenham calmed down. After thinking about it, he felt that what he said was very reasonable, but he still said worriedly: "The king is still very young, he may not understand, this may make him have other thoughts in his heart." ”
Capello smiled and said: "You are too gentle, he must have an opinion on my arrangement, and this opinion will go in an even worse direction." ”
Beckenham remembered his current role and said to the Italian: "I'll go and explain it to him and resolve his grievances." ”
Capello shook his head and said, "No need, at least you shouldn't explain anything to him before this match." ”
Beckenham said suspiciously: "Are you going to ......"
The Italian didn't wait for him to finish. Nodding his head, he said, "That's right!" ”
The heartthrob frowned and said, "It's just...... Well, after this game, I'll find time to talk to him. ”
……
"Green, Glenn Johnson, Terry, Ridley King, Ashley Cole, Lennon, Lampard, Gillard, Milner, Rooney, Husky."
Capello calmly read out the starting line-up. The dressing room was silent, Girard and Frank Lampard were stunned, and Rooney's heart was a mixture of joy and a faint sense of loss.
He was pleased that Wang Rui did not enter the starting list, which shows that Wang Rui is not indispensable in Capello's heart. However, he and Wang Rui had a tacit understanding in the warm-up match with Romania. It is called a golden partner by the media.
Wang Rui lowered his head and looked at his toes, Capello, do you believe me. Or is it something else?
If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you as long as I can play!
Wang Rui's mood is a little low at the moment, but he is not depressed, he will fight back against those who look down on him like fighting back against Ferguson.
He had two different hands on his shoulders, and the owner of the hands was comforting him.
Kenting looked at Capello in the middle of the locker room with dissatisfaction, and Peter snorted coldly.
The first reaction of the two of them was that Capello was courting Rooney!
It doesn't make sense, but that's what they think.
Oakes looked thoughtful, he didn't think as simplistic and extreme as Peter and Kending, as a veteran he thought more......
Capello certainly didn't think that the king's heart was not strong enough, so he was protecting the king?
Yes, it should be, it's just ...... The king didn't seem to know it in advance...... Could it be that the king did not have such a high status in his mind that he did not tell him in advance......
Impossible...... So......
Shall I remind the king? ……
No!
This should be arranged by the coach this way, I can't ruin his layout!
Thinking of this, Oakes looked at Capello and Wang Rui with interest......
As for what Capello said later, Wang Rui didn't listen to a word.
At 3:40, the starters of both sides stood in the players' tunnel, and Dempsey from Fulham did not find Wang Rui in the England team, and after being slightly surprised, a smile appeared on his face.
It seems that his words at noon have played a role, and Capello is afraid that the king will not be calm, so he deliberately put him on the bench to calm down......
As long as I push him up again in the game......
Thinking of this, Dempsey smiled even more happily, what about the best player in the Premier League, it wasn't that I was nailed to the bench with a word!
It's just that Dempsey didn't know the meaning of Capello's arrangement...... If he knew, he wouldn't be able to laugh so happily right now.
When the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel of the players, they were greeted by an overwhelming cheer. When England fans saw the starting line-up clearly, there was a stunned look on their faces.
"Why is that?"
The saliva man was very dissatisfied.
Lytis and Wang Ting were silent, and their beautiful faces were cold, which made Aunt Mary and Uncle Mulin beside them feel murderous.
"The king will play, the Italian should have his own ideas for this arrangement."
Uncle Mullin began to persuade the two of them, but their faces did not change.
American fans don't think so, damn it, are you underestimating us?
Or do you want to put that big card at the end?
……
"Tick! ……”
With the referee's whistle, the match between England and the United States officially began!
Sky TV exclaimed: "The competition is officially underway, England's World Cup journey in South Africa has officially begun!" ”
"England have not lost their first games in the three World Cups before this, so can they continue this unbeaten discipline tonight?" (To be continued.) )
