850 Thieves are bold!
"My mission has been accomplished and will not continue."
"I've been thinking about this for a while now, and now I've decided to put my family first, and it's hard for me to be away from home for too long."
Larsson announced his decision after the game to quit the national team!
Unable to withstand the crushing of the Samba Army, Larsson suffers as much as every Swedish player and fan, but the reality is unforgiving.
If anyone first knew about Larsson's decision, it should be Aldridge, who revealed it to him as early as last season.
His words are half-truthful, putting family first, and for the same reason that Aldridge intends to leave the managerial role, Larsson now has two children.
But the other half is that Larsson wants to contribute better to the club at the end of his career.
Age forced him to take care of the national team and the club have excellent form, travel is a reality that can not be ignored, Millwall is a combination of work and rest for player management, and like Arsenal's Vieira, a season, although the club games are not as good as Millwall, but Vieira represents the club and the national team, a season played more than 80 games, you can imagine how tired he will be when he comes to the World Cup, on the contrary, Xiao Luo came to the World Cup but alive.
No matter how reasonable the physical allocation of a player's physical strength is, it can never cross the physical impact of a player's age.
Larsson announced his retirement from the national team, and after the news broke, the entire Swedish football world was shaken, and many fans on Millwall's side applauded.
The coach of the Swedish team. Players. All retain Larson. But it could not shake its determination to withdraw from the national team, and even the UEFA president was alarmed by the matter.
Why?
UEFA president Johansson is a Swede, and he certainly doesn't want to see Larsson, Sweden's number one star, leave the national team.
Johansson called Larson directly to persuade him to retract his decision to withdraw, but Larson still did not waver.
As a last resort, Johansson called Aldridge, hoping that Aldridge would persuade Larsson, although he did not expect much. Because Larsson withdrew from the national team, it was definitely Millwall who benefited.
"Sir, I agree with you on this important decision, and I hope that he will play for Sweden for a few more years, at least, for another tournament."
"Huh? Aldrich, do you really think so? ”
"Yes, I'll call Henrik later, I'll try to communicate with him. As much as possible to convince him to stay in the Swedish national team. ”
"Okay, okay. Thank you so much! ”
'He's my player and it's my job.'
Immediately after the phone exchange with Johansson, Aldridge called Larson.
The Swedish team was already at the airport ready to return home, and Larsson was a little surprised.
"Boss?"
"I just spoke to Johansson on the phone."
"Did he ask you to persuade me?"
"No, I think he's right, Henrik, you should stay in Sweden."
"Why? I know my physical condition and I want to give the best of myself to Millwall in the last few years of my career. ”
"I understand. But it's not fair to you. ”
"No, Millwall gave me a qiē and now it's time for me to give back to the club."
"Don't say that, you don't owe Millwall anything, on the contrary, I don't want Millwall to be a cage that binds you, you make me proud, make countless Millwall fans proud, you are already a legend of the club, without you, there would be no dazzling achievements and glories in the past, so, you should stay in the Swedish team."
"Why?"
"Because that will make you even greater in the hearts of your fellow Swedes!"
Larsson failed to retire from the Swedish national team after all, in addition to the persuasion of club coach Aldridge, UEFA President Johansson, the coaches and players of the Swedish team, and the Swedish Prime Minister and all Swedish fans called for him to stay, in the end, these people seemed to be difficult to impress Larsson, but it was his son, so Larsson decided to continue to wear the national team jersey for the country, aiming for the 2004 European Championship
After Brazil advanced to the semi-finals first, Germany and the United States played another match that scared the German media.
Germany, who were full of mistakes in attack and defense, could not be said to be without an advantage, but the United States looked more aggressive, and Ballack's goal helped Germany win 1-0 against the United States.
However, the focus after the game was on Karn, Karn, the great Lion King Karn!
Without Kahn, the German team probably would not have made it to the final four, and without Kahn, the German team would have gone home long ago.
Beckenbauer said bluntly after the game: The United States team is better, the German team won very lucky, and the American team deserved a penalty.
It was on the goalline that Frings blocked a shot with his hand, but the referee did not award a penalty, which he thought should have been.
In the field of football, Beckenbauer's open-mindedness is admirable, seeking truth from facts, and his position on right and wrong, right and wrong, is fair and objective.
The German media is still criticizing the German team, and although the team has reached the last four, it has not been able to make the German media satisfied with the team, and this criticism and dissatisfaction have been surrounding the German team since the group stage win against Saudi Arabia.
The next day, the England squad traveled to Osaka, where they returned to the stadium where they had fought: Nagai Stadium in Osaka.
This is good news for England, who have two more days off than Turkey, are still more familiar with the playing field, and the atmosphere in the stadium, with the Japanese fans cheering them on, has overshadowed Turkey in terms of momentum.
Their match was the last of the quarter-finals, which was played in the evening.
In the afternoon, another high-profile quarter-final was played at the World Cup Stadium in Gwangju, South Korea.
South Korea VS Spain.
Since Portugal and South Korea met in the group stage, the World Cup has also really deviated from the normal track from the beginning of the taste!
This match finally pushed the South Korea-Japan World Cup into the abyss of no return, second only to Italy's "dictatorship" World Cup in 34. As well as the "tyrant" Olympics of '36. This World Cup has become a sad sport for football. It is extremely disgraceful, and the South Korean team has reached the semi-finals in history, setting the best record for the Asian team in the World Cup, perhaps, only the Koreans themselves are proud of it, and the football people in other Asian countries, who will recognize the football status of the Korean team?
Spain were blown off two good balls, as well as two one-on-one balls against offside. Just-in-the-dark robberies are becoming more and more brazen and blatant!
The Spanish team fell to the penalty shootout, and after the game, the referee team immediately fled the stadium in disgrace, and the Spanish big player Elgra tried to beat the referee but was stopped by his teammates.
At that moment, except for the more than 4 million people in South Korea who took to the streets to celebrate and dyed the Korean land red, the whole of Europe was completely outraged!
Before, there had always been people talking about the victims of politics, it was just a speculation, and now, no one doubted it. This World Cup is full of dirty and ugly political games. The victims are the players who really love football and devote themselves to football, and the players who defend the honor of the national team!
In this game, the two sides of the confrontation are Europe represented by UEFA, as well as the faction formed by FIFA and AFC.
UEFA and FIFA have been in conflict for a long time, this is a political pattern that has long been formed in the football circle, and FIFA's strategy to suppress Europe is to win over other allies, so the World Cup came to Asia for the first time, so, Portugal left first, Italy left, and now, Spain is also gone, and what replaced them is the only seedling in Asia, the host Taiji Tiger South Korean team.
The first time the doubt comes, we naively think it was a fortuitous mistake; The second time the doubt comes, we carefully furrow our bewildered brows and begin to speculate; When doubts come the third time, we can no longer extinguish the fire of conscience!
In 2002, when the World Cup was held in Asia for the first time, Portugal was sent off two in one match and had to play with nine men; In a total of four games in which Italy participated, the referee and the linesman blew away 3 "legitimate" goals, and in the last extra-time, the midfielder Totti was sentenced to fake a fall and sent off with a red card; Spain's reasonable goal in the second half was judged to be a foul, the golden goal in extra time was ruled "out of bounds" by the linesman, and the successful anti-offside was ruled offside!
Elguera was still furious in his post-match interview: "If it was a penalty loss to Ireland that day, I have nothing to say, Ireland played well that day, but today I lost to South Korea, I feel unwilling, because they didn't play well, but the referee didn't allow us to win the game, I think it's a shame, I just want to curse now, scold the dirtiest words, the most unbearable thing for me is that we lost to such an opponent, they don't have the strength, but they relied on the referee to reach the semi-finals, win Italy, win us." I now very much agree with the words of one of the managers I respect the most, that is, the coach of the England national team, Mr. Aldrich Hall, that South Korea has tarnished the World Cup, what a shame! ”
It's just three things!
FIFA and South Korea have really done a great job!
They gave Korea a miracle, a miracle that belonged to Asia, but, however, angered the whole of Europe!
Needless to say, the Spanish media unanimously denounced FIFA, and Blatter had to stand up and admit that the referee team made serious mistakes in law enforcement, but also said incidentally, "Referees are also people, and people make mistakes." ”
Who the is this going to do?
The referee is no longer a person, he has almost become the ancestor of South Korea, and he treats South Korea as his own son!
Once, twice, three times, the three European powerhouses went home, and the South Korean team profited one after another, and the referee team of these three games was coincidental, not only did they all make mistakes, but they also victimized the strong European teams, the Korean team profited, and the referee added the linesman, how high is the probability of this? It's just that the South Korean team has collided, why hasn't the South Korean team conquered all mankind yet?
Spanish fans collectively unfurled protest signs: Robbery in broad daylight!
Marca: Football is stifled in South Korea!
Barcelona's "Vanguard": South Korea relies on referees to create zào history!
German press: It was the referee who cut off Spain again!
Brazilian media: South Korea is the biggest beneficiary!
Mainstream voices in the European media: Spain is a victim of a conspiracy.
And even the Asian media, with the exception of South Korea, have expressed concern and concern.
The Korean team has created a miracle and inspired the hearts of the Korean nation.
However, this miracle is based on challenging the "European aristocracy", the world leader of football, and there are fears that South Korea is digging a grave for Asian football!
Why?
Not every World Cup is held in Asia.
You don't even want to kill the European seed team openly today, do you think the "European aristocracy" will be able to afford Asian football?
The next time you go to the territory of the Europeans, won't they play this game more perfectly than you? How could you make a storm like you?
It's like a joke to kill you, and this will affect the whole of Asian football.
No, the chairman of the organizing committee of the next World Cup, the German football emperor Beckenbauer, spoke directly after the South Korean team won the game.
"Germany will pay close attention to the impartiality of the referee in the next match!"
Why?
The next game for South Korea to play Germany!
South Korea, do you dare to continue to be shameless? (To be continued......)
