No. 564: First start of the World Cup!
At 8 p.m. on the evening of the 18th, the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town was packed with people, and despite the constant talk of England, England fans were convinced that their team would win.
They will be on hand to see their team qualify from the group!
"Is fitness a problem? We only need to play five achievements to defeat the opponent! ”
The Times encouraged their team before the game, and this sentence showed the pride of the British.
"No one can stop England because we have the most luxurious midfielder in the world, and we have the most attacking midfielder in the world - Wang!"
That's what the Daily Mirror said before the game.
Both the fans and the media believe that there is nothing wrong with England winning, and this confidence has invisibly increased the pressure on the England team.
The North African Fox Algeria is certainly not going to be submissive, and coach Saadani said before the game: "For us, this is a game that must be won, even if the England team is very strong, but we will do everything we can to win!" ”
"We will learn from the lessons of the American team, we will focus on the king, and we will not give him too much space."
……
At the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, players from both sides returned to the dressing room after a pre-match warm-up to make final preparations.
Behind the England bench, Wang Ting sat with Lytis in an England jersey, looked at the empty turf with a pair of beautiful eyes, and asked softly: "Do you say that my brother can start today?" ”
Without any thought, Lytis blurted out: "Definitely start!" ”
"Why?"
"No, I thought he could start."
"Is this intuition?"
"Sort of."
The two beauties are using this way to resolve the tension in their hearts.
At this moment, the reporter has already obtained the starting list of both sides, and to the surprise of the Marca newspaper, Capello did not send a four-five-one formation, and Peter was not blocked by Capello because of the Sun's report.
England's formation is still 442, goalkeeper: James; Defenders: Glenn Johnson, John Terry, Carragher, Ashley Cole; Four midfielders: Kenting, Lampard, Gerrard, Wang Rui; Two forwards: Peter, Heskey.
The Wolves trio are all in the starting lineup!
Compared to the first game, Capello made a large number of changes to his starting lineup. Green, who made a low-level mistake in the first game, was replaced by James, and Lennon, Looney and others were on the bench.
Manchester United's top names didn't even make it to the five-man bench!
The toughness of the Italians is on display!
A German journalist analysed: "The 12-minute run has definitely had an impact on England's fitness, so Capello has started three young players from Wolves. ”
This view was echoed by many journalists, with Daily Mail reporter Michael retorting: "Three Wolves youngsters were able to start. It was they who won Capello's trust with their performances, and definitely not the reason you said. ”
……
In the England dressing room, after Capello announced his starting line-up, the room was quiet and Rooney had anger in his eyes. If you can't start, forget it, why didn't you even get on the bench list?
In addition to anger in his heart, there is also a deep loss in his heart, and he is no longer the indispensable one.
And the ones who caused all this are the Wolves guys, and I can't spare them!
The United leaders have not been able to take their anger out on Fabio Capello because the team has been in excellent form lately, winning a steady stream of victories, and the Italians are gaining prestige in the dressing room.
And Girard and Frank Lampard seem to have abandoned him. Even if he were to challenge the Italians, no one would help him.
Dormant!
Hibernate for the later outbreaks!
Rooney encouraged himself.
The Wolves trio were full of surprises, starting with a statement that they had been approved by Capello and that they had decided to repay the Italian with a good performance.
Capello began to make tactical arrangements: "At the beginning of the game we have to play a round of attack, whether we score or not, and in the rest of the time, we have to slow down. ”
"We have to make the most of set-piece opportunities, so we have to be a little bit bolder in attacking."
The Italian glanced at Wang Rui, and Wang Rui nodded. Understand what he meant, so far, Wang Rui's free kick has not had a chance to be shown.
Rooney's eyes were even more gloomy, damn it. When did this guy become the heart of England's attack?
Capello, aren't you afraid of causing Girard and Frank Lampard to be dissatisfied?
The United leader immediately turned his attention to Frank Lampard and Gerard's faces, however, he was deeply disappointed.
Frank Lampard is nodding!
Damn, were you guys conquered by that guy's three free-kick reversals?
Girard's performance made Rooney vomit blood, and the soul of the Red Army gave Wang Rui an encouraging look!
Oh, God. What's wrong with you guys?
Proud as you are, to a yellow-skinned fellow......
……
In the Algerian dressing room, the atmosphere is tense, this is their do-or-die battle, and if they lose again, they will lose any chance of qualifying from the group.
Coach Sadani said in a deep voice: "We have no way back, we have reached the edge of the precipice, this is the World Cup every four years, this is the World Cup that all players dream of!" ”
"It's time to show the ambition you've hidden deep in your hearts!"
"It's time for the world to know us!"
"Switzerland can beat Spain, Mexico can beat France, we can beat England!"
Sadani's speech played its due role, and captain Yahya said loudly: "As long as we drag the game into the second half, we will win the final victory!" ”
The Algerian players are burning with war in their eyes!
Sadani nodded and said, "That's right, we dragged the game into the second half and it was a victory!" ”
'So our tactical thinking in the first half was to defend and counter-attack, and Wang is what we want to focus on, and the quality he has shown over the past year has been amazing. We have to compress his attacking space and don't give him a chance to shoot from distance! ”
'Also, he's very good at free-kicks and we have to reduce fouls when defending him, especially the closer you get to goal. We have to defend him by wrapping and blocking, and don't give him a chance to move forward with the ball! ”
I don't know if Wang Rui should be proud or painful when he heard his words?
At 8:15, the starters of both sides led the caddies under the leadership of four referees and walked out of the players' tunnel!
They were greeted by overwhelming cheers, Wang Ting and Lytis looked at the familiar faces in the England team and exclaimed!
Sky TV commentator Kent exclaimed: "With players from both sides coming into the pitch and this is Wang's first World Cup start, what kind of performance will he bring to us? ”
"Come on! King, use your actions to crush Maradona's doubts! (To be continued.) )
