After a 40-minute drive, the bus pulled into the Green Dot Stadium, where a large number of fans had already gathered.

Anxious fans were already lining up to get in, and England fans erupted in loud cheers when they saw the bus with the British flag coming.

The fans, who were talking about the upcoming start of the game, walked around the bus, shouting the names of their supporters.

On-site security guards stood by to form a protective ring around the bus, keeping enthusiastic fans and journalists out. Capello, dressed in a blue suit, was the first to appear, waving to reporters and enthusiastic fans.

The English players kept screaming, and when Wang Rui appeared, the screams reached the highest value!

Perhaps because he felt that he had nothing to say, or that tonight's game was too important and he didn't want to be distracted, Wang Rui waved to reporters and fans, and then walked towards the locker room with his teammates.

This made reporters and fans regret it.

The Sky reporter spoke into the microphone: "Judging by the expressions on the faces of Capello and the players, they don't look that nervous, which is a good sign.

In their pre-match press conference this morning, the two managers battled it out and it looked like the England players were unaffected.

We hope England can give us a great win tonight! ”

Ten minutes later, the Dutch bus arrived, largely similar to the one in England, surrounded by a large number of fans and journalists just after the bus stopped.

Robben stepped out of the car with a smile on his face and came to the reporters very cooperatively, much to the excitement of the reporters and fans.

A Dutch journalist asked aloud: "How are you feeling right now?" Are you confident about tonight's game? ”

Robben smiled and said: "I've been longing for this game for a long time, we can beat England like we beat Brazil!" ”

'I'm in a good mood right now, desperate to play against England and I'm very confident for tonight's game!'

A British journalist didn't want him to be so high-spirited. He asked, "What do you think of the king's performance?" Do you think the Dutch will be able to defend him tonight? Can you not let him score? ”

Robben's previous good mood was gone, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "King shocked the world in the previous five games, and he also shocked me.

However, I don't think he'll continue his record of scoring every game tonight and we'll contain him tonight. Don't give him a chance to score.

There is only one winner tonight, and that winner is not England, but the Netherlands! ”

Robben's words received a lot of applause, and the Dutch reporters applauded loudly.

The British reporter sneered in his heart: Don't be too happy, after the game, it is definitely not England who will cry, but the Netherlands!

……

In the pre-match warm-up, the players on both sides looked quite relaxed, and even laughed and played. But both of them knew that this was just a symptom of tightness on the inside and looseness on the outside. The fans who had already entered the stadium were busy taking pictures of their favorite stars.

Half an hour later, the players from both sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the upcoming big game.

At this moment, the starting lists of both sides have been in the hands of the media, Sky TV commentator Kent said: "Capello's formation is still 4312, goalkeeper No. 1 James; The four defenders are Glen Johnson No. 2, No. 15 Upson, No. 18 Carragher, No. 3 Ashley Cole.

Four midfielders: No. 4 Gerrard, No. 8 Frank Lampard, No. 13 Kenting, No. 17 Wang; Two strikers: No. 10 Rooney and No. 21 Peter.

Only two positions have changed in this starting line-up compared to Uruguay, one being centre-back. One is the striker.

Carragher replaces John Terry, who is suspended due to a red card, and Wayne Rooney, who has returned from suspension, replaces Defoe. Ashley Cole, who made a mistake in the last game, still earned Capello's trust and continued to start.

Van Marwijk's formation is a four-two-three-one, which is a formation that focuses on controlling the midfield and focusing on defence.

goalkeeper No. 1 Stekelenberg; The four defenders are No. 12 Blaruz, No. 3 Heitinga, No. 4 Mathieson. No. 5 captain Van Bronckhorst.

Five midfielders No. 6 Van Bommel, No. 14 De Eu, No. 7 Kuyt, No. 10 Sneijder, No. 11 Robben.

The only striker No. 9 Van Persie.

Arjen Robben has to be a winger. He will be attacking England's left side with a strong attack, and tonight's showdown between him and Kentin will definitely be a highlight, with both men known for their speed.

The nineteen-year-old is England's youngest player, but he has earned the trust of the Italian with his poise in defence and has already secured a starting spot in five games.

In the last game against Uruguay, he moved back to a centre-back following John Terry's red card, but his composure earned him widespread praise from the British press.

In addition to Robben, England should also pay attention to Sneijder, the Dutch midfielder's recent form, which can be described as hot, he was the most important contributor to the victory over Brazil, and both of the Dutch team's goals were directly related to him. ”

After introducing the starting line-up, Kent continued: "In a way, it's a midfield contest and whoever controls the midfield wins.

So Wang's performance is still important, and it can even be said that his performance will determine the outcome of England! ”

At the moment, the atmosphere in the dressing room of the two teams is serious and tense, as long as they win tonight's game, they can enter the final field, they can compete for the coveted Hercules Cup, and achieve their supreme glory.

Invisible pressure hangs over everyone.

After announcing his starting line-up and tactical arrangements, Capello began to boost morale: "There was no need to mobilize for this game because I knew you were eager to be in the final.

However, I think I'd say a few words. ”

There was laughter in the locker room, and laughter diluted the tension.

The Italian's voice suddenly raised and he exclaimed: "When the two strong meet, the winner will belong to the more courageous team, and the team will belong to the tougher team, so we have to be more courageous and more resilient than the Dutch!"

Tonight, kids, we're going to make this stadium forever remember each and every one of our names!

Tonight, England needs tears, but they will be tears of joy!

Tonight, England need a win because we've waited so long! ”

After Capello's battle declaration, the air in the locker room became hot, and Girard walked to the middle of the dressing room and shouted: "Victory!" England! ”

Then the England dressing room sounded "Win, England!" Huge shouts!

At the same time, the same scene played out in the dressing room of the Dutch team, when the starters of both teams appeared in the tunnel of the players, they saw the raging battle in the eyes of the other team!

"Tick! ……”

At half past eight, with the referee's whistle, the Anglo-Dutch battle officially began! (To be continued.) )

PS: Introducing a friend's book, the new work of "Football Veteran" veteran football writer "Falling to the Sky".

How desperate can a manager who has killed people make his opponent desperate?

In the summer of 2014, Zhou Wei, a murderer who was released from prison, was released from prison, and in order to survive, he led a group of reformed robbers, thieves, fraudsters, and saboteurs to attack the national amateur football cup championship and regain his youth.
