842 Invasion of Darkness
Thank you for the reward of "Thief Death" and "Qingqing Little Wolf"! ――
The England team calmly and seriously prepared for the 1/8 finals......
On the eve of the trip to Oita, Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference as usual.
At the beginning, there were reporters on the scene who were asking about Rooney's scandal, and Aldrich ignored those reporters with a blank face.
One question after another around Rooney was thrown on the table, and Aldridge didn't lift his eyelids, as if he were on the sidelines.
Those reporters who asked questions rushed to feel aggrieved, and this kind of ignorance naturally hurt their self-esteem.
"Hmph, what's the big name?"
A reporter from Africa couldn't hold his breath and complained.
Aldrich still didn't change his face, as if he hadn't heard.
And many journalists in Europe chuckled in unison.
Playing big?
The young marshal just played it, how about it?
If you're not happy, you can disappear, you can skip the interview.
Besides, is it really a big name?
The theme of this press conference is about tomorrow's game, not the Rooney scandal, and if you like to ask questions that you don't want to close, don't complain that the young boss treats you like nothing.
European reporters are quite profound, when the England team made the penalty conclusion public, Rooney's incident was settled, and then to hype, there is no point, not to mention that Rooney is really not a very important figure in England, today's interview, either broadcast on the evening news program, or published in the newspaper tomorrow, who will be interested in watching Rooney's news again?
Isn't it just prostitution?
How old is it?
If it's in the off-season for football news. There's definitely a lot of hype. But now. It's the World Cup, which onion is Rooney? People in England have cleaned up the portal, what else can be hyped up?
Aldridge is constantly being questioned by either inexperienced journalists or African journalists, trying to disrupt England as an off-the-field boost for Senegal.
But the young marshal didn't dump these people at all.
There was silence for a while, and Aldrich finally spoke.
"Since there is no problem. So, can I go? ”
As soon as Aldridge's voice fell, the Fleet Street reporters raised their hands.
The press officer motioned for the other person to ask questions.
"What is your assessment of Senegal's group stage performance?"
"I think Senegal has surprised the world enough, they are the pride of African football, before that, probably many people in the world have not heard of Senegal's name, but the Guò World Cup, their excellent performance, has won the respect and recognition of the world. They defeated France and drew Denmark. In the last game, they played an earth-shattering 3-3 against Uruguay, a terrific team, and England were very happy to play Senegal. ”
"You mean, Senegal has attracted the attention and vigilance of England, right?"
"Of course not! We treat every opponent very seriously, will not despise any opponent, if it is because the opponent is the first time to reach the round of 16, we will be vigilant, then the England team can not go further, only respect every opponent, value them, go all out in every game, can go further. ”
"Senegal boss Mechu said before that England are very strong, especially with a manager as experienced and capable as you, who doesn't dare to say he can beat you, but he will try hard, what do you think about that?"
Bruno Mechu, a French coach who started stepping on the African Big 6 a few years ago, has been instrumental in Senegal's presence on the World Cup stage.
Aldridge smiled and said, "If you want me to say, Mechu is also a difficult coach to deal with, and I don't dare to say that I can definitely beat him, but I will try hard!" He has an extraordinary experience, coaching in Africa Big 6, which is desirable and enviable for his achievements, because he can make the people of a country proud and proud, and can make a country go from obscurity to the world stage. ”
European reporters smiled, Aldrich's words had a heroic flavor of sympathy, but also reflected the status quo that Europe is the leader in football, even if African teams emerge, the leader is also European coaches.
A reporter asked: "Senegal is likely to face England with a conservative anti-counter-attack strategy, what do you think of their tactics?" ”
"It's normal, no one dictates how football should be played, what tactics a team has to use, it's reasonable to save zài, Senegal no matter what tactics are used to play, I won't be surprised, at the end of the game they win and I will congratulate them, they lost, there is no point in discussing tactics, for England the same."
Aldrich replied bliantly.
As for what tactics England will choose tomorrow, Aldridge said calmly: "We will stick to the usual arrangement, and what kind of situation will be presented in the specific game, we must combine the situation at the time, and we can't generalize." ”
In any case, Aldridge's comments or opinions about Senegal have won the favor of African journalists, and the reporters who have previously said that he is a big name have shown a hint of shame.
In the professional world, Aldrich never arrogant or contemptuous of his opponents, he never gives people the impression of arrogance, which is one of the reasons why he is admired by the outside world.
I thought that this was the end of the press conference, but Aldrich didn't expect that a reporter on Fleet Street suddenly asked: "Mr. Hall, what do you think about Portugal's O:1 loss to South Korea yesterday?" ”
Aldrich was stunned, and all the reporters on the scene regained their spirits.
Just yesterday, the group stage of the World Cup came to an end.
First, one of the hosts, Japan, defeated Tunisia in the afternoon to advance to the round of 16, and then the European Red Devils Belgium defeated Russia to enter the round of 16.
And in the evening, the most controversial match since the start of this World Cup appeared.
Portugal vs South Korea. Poland vs USA. Both matches are played at the same time.
South Korea and the United States both have 4 points. Portugal 3 points, Poland o points.
Portugal wants to qualify, starting from the pre-game, and it is dangerous to draw.
The reason is simple, they could not pin their hopes on Poland in the hope that Poland would snipe at the United States, because Portugal lost to the United States, 2:3. And Portugal won Poland another 4:O, plus Poland also lost to South Korea before, no matter how you look at it, Poland can't be a boost for Portugal to advance.
Even though Poland scored two goals in the first five minutes of the game to lead the United States, Portugal still played offensive football against South Korea, which is a kind of strong man's expression, to insist on himself, to control his own destiny, rather than begging for help.
Portugal, in a furious offensive posture, set off a storm. And then, very quickly. The referee becomes the protagonist on the field.
Argentine Sanchez can tolerate Song Jong Kook's continuous flying tackles and elbow movements on Figo, and can ignore Kim Tae-young's ferocious slashing of Concicao, under this penalty scale, the players of the Portuguese team will naturally be provoked, so the action is also bigger, when Pinto uses his feet to fly the tackle, the referee Sanchez simply took out the red card, as if without warning, as if at this moment the referee remembered that he had a card.
Portugal, who had to play 11 with 1O, suffered another blow in the 66th minute of the second half, Beto was sent off with two yellows and one red, and at the same time, the other side of the field also had a decisive change, Poland led the United States 3:O, which was a score that could seal the victory.
Portugal will hold on to a draw and they will be level on points with the United States and advance to the round of 16 on goal difference.
However, the 11-9 South Korean team did not give Portugal another chance with the help of the terrifying home atmosphere, and four minutes later, Portugal had a significant disadvantage in numbers, and was almost humiliated by Park Ji-sung in the penalty area to pick the ball past and then break through the goal, Taiji Tigers defeated Portugal of the golden generation, and advanced to the round of 16 with 7 points in three games.
Portugal, on the other hand, was out of the tournament as long as they could qualify with a draw.
Although Portugal's start to this tournament is not ideal, but the return to Poland is obvious, and the host South Korea will definitely not fall behind, if there is no referee's double penalty scale, Portugal will not be provoked lightly, they must have their own problems, the "golden generation" is difficult to prove themselves in the competition, and it also has a lot to do with their mentality, counting their red card count, you know, the probability of them getting a red card is really not low.
However, when the referee became the focus of attention and tried to ensure that the Korean team advanced strongly, it changed the flavor of the game.
The World Cup should be the fighting style of the players and the fighting style of the coaches, not the place where the black-clad law enforcement officer should steal the show.
The appearance of the black-clothed law enforcement officer inevitably made many fans already feel invaded by darkness in their hearts.
And thinking of all the remarks that Blatter said in Japan, at the same time as this darkness invades, the hearts of those who have hearts will also be swept away by the cold.
"The more shocking results will continue."
"The upsets aren't going to go away and that's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"The gap between the old and the traditional new army has been bridged."
Compared with Pele's crow's mouth, Blatter's prediction seems to be more reliable, but Blatter said that the world would be shocked, and South Korean coach Hiddink also said that the South Korean team would shock the world.
Since the start of the World Cup, there have been upsets in France, Argentina returning home in advance, Brazil, Spain, the shock brought by the offensive frenzy, and now, another color has begun to infect the color of the World Cup: darkness.
There is no doubt that in Incheon, it was the "red whistle" that played a role in making the World Cup begin to fade into a carnival of mediocrity.
Aldridge didn't want to say anything when a reporter asked him about yesterday's Portugal game, but he quickly changed his mind.
He must say that certain people must be "warned" not to try to make England a victim of politics.
Aldrich is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is not afraid of turning his face with anyone.
All he wants is the fairness and rigor of the arena that should be guaranteed.
"I am very sympathetic to what happened to Portugal, the referee was the focus of discussion after the game, which shows that there is a problem with law enforcement, Portugal is on the side of the victims, and now they are being investigated by FIFA, why? Is it simply because the referee is absolutely untouchable? But when you're robbed, you should resist. Standing aside and saying cool things, saying that players have to be rational, hehe, I haven't played football, but I put myself in my shoes, if I am a player, I think that when I am unjust, should I understand reason as compromise, back down, shut up and not resist, or should I stand up and defend my rights? Defending my team's interests? It is undeniable that the host has an advantage, this advantage is reflected in the home atmosphere, familiar with the environment of the venue where the event is held, this is the advantage of the host, if someone forcibly gives the host some kind of advantage, hehe, this kind of person is the public enemy of fans all over the world, the enemy of the sport of football, if it is me, I will stand up and fight with the other party at any cost, I am such a person. ”
As soon as Aldrich's words fell, many people at the scene gasped.
The young marshal is easy to make enemies when he says this!
FIFA can't say it's going to kill him!
It is true that after the press conference, FIFA expressed its anger and dissatisfaction to the FA, and as for the "fight" that Aldrich said in the press conference, FIFA naturally did not take it seriously.
However, 5 years later, UEFA learned the so-called struggle and battle of the young marshal, how crazy it is to defend interests, and directly wrote the young marshal into the history of European football, which has since changed the pattern of European football! (To be continued!)
