Just after Aldridge attended the press conference the day before the game, a little later, the second match day of the World Cup was full of smoke!

Compared with Denmark's 2:1 victory over Uruguay in South Korea, Ireland and Cameroon drew 1:1 in Japan.

German tanks crush Saudi Arabia 8:0!

Millwall striker Klose scored a hat trick, Schneider also added the icing on the cake to scoop the goal, and the unfavored German team made a sensation in the world in its first performance!

The beginning of the World Cup is not only subversive, but also hugely shocking!

However, this game does not make the German team change the outside world, because the opponent is not strong, and the gap between Europe and Asia is really an oasis and a desert, a sky and an abyss!

No one will think that Germany's 8-goal slaughter of Saudi Arabia is representative, because 80% of European teams can win Saudi Arabia, even if they can't win such a big score, but the difference in strength is congenital.

A day later, the England squad boarded a bus outside the hotel and set off for the Saitama World Cup Stadium.

From the moment they sat on the bus, the cabin was very quiet, and each player was adjusting his mental state in his usual way to avoid being overly nervous, depressed, or excited, some would listen to music, some would close their eyes and meditate, and some would fall asleep.

Outside the Saitama World Cup Stadium, England and Sweden fans are very recognizable, either yellow and blue jerseys, or red and white jerseys, plus local and international fans who come here to watch the game, the atmosphere outside the stadium is very lively, talking about the fans of the stars. No one compares to Becky. Many fans also imitated the little Bemoshigan hairstyle. As for the shape of the alien's Afu head, it has also caused heated discussions, but not many fans will imitate it.

How popular is Becky in Japan?

When the bus comes to the vicinity of the stadium, a large number of Japanese female fans nearby will scream at the decibels when they see Xiaobei sitting by the window, like a ripple, spreading away, and finally turning into a crowd storm!

The bus drove into the stadium and the whole team got off. The live broadcast camera followed the whole process, the England team was uniformly dressed under the leadership of Aldridge, and the style of the suit and leather shoes was not lacking in handsomeness and discipline, which made people know at a glance that this was a team.

In this World Cup, in addition to the golden partners Andy Gray and Martin Taylor, they also invited an English celebrity as a guest commentator: football gentleman Lineker.

The stands were already packed, whether it was England's big battle with Sweden or Becky's personal appeal to catch a glimpse of the football star. Fans entered the stadium early and enthusiastically waved all sorts of cheering slogans in the stands. Even many of them are directly and boldly showing love.

"England are warming up, Gary, what do you think about England's future at the World Cup?"

"Views? I don't know, Hall brought England, the lowest average age in recent decades, to the World Cup, he gave up Fowler, Shearer, Heskey, these experienced and powerful players in our eyes, would rather bring a 16-year-old child, what the hell is he doing? What's going on in his head? Can you think of it? I can't think of anyone who can understand his intentions, but it is he who led England from the death line of the qualifiers step by step to the World Cup, and came to us, and did not let us stay at home and watch the game like the Netherlands. So, I don't think anything matters, with support for England in your heart and then keep your eyes open and look at Hall, what heights this legendary young coach can take LinkedIn Gran to, that's what we should be doing now. ”

"Martin and I have been following your comments over the years, and it seems like you have a lot of appreciation for Hall, right?"

"Of course, he breathed life into English football, bringing a different kind of suzhì, the Premier League changed because of Millwall, the England national team is also changing, from the technical and tactical style to the use of players, for example, a player like McManaman who can win applause at the Bernabeu has a hard time having a place in the England national team, and the tournament table is not satisfactory, why? Was it McManaman's problem, or was England's backward tactical system limiting him? I'd rather believe the latter, because I'm not going to question McManaman's determination and will to fight for England, he's been under Hall, his international career has changed dramatically, you know, before Hall took over, McManaman was one of the most vocal players to be kicked out of the national team, but now, everybody knows that McManaman is indispensable in the England team, and Hall has activated him so that we can see McManaman in the national team game. ”

"Well, it's true, McManaman, Scholes, Owen, their combination of offense is full of variety and imagination, Gary, as the only person in England who has won the World Cup Golden Boot, do you think the England team will have players to hit the World Cup Golden Boot in this World Cup? For example, Owen. ”

The '86 World Cup belonged to Maradona, but the '86 striker belonged to Lineker, who scored six of England's seven goals, becoming England's first World Cup Golden Boot winner in history, and the only one so far.

Lineker pondered for a moment and said: "Although Owen is very good, I think it will be difficult for him to get the Golden Boot because he is England's lone striker, the number one target of all opponents, and it is too difficult for him to score goals in succession. However, who knows, like yesterday, the German boy Klose didn't score three goals in one game? I wouldn't be surprised if Owen could score a hat in one game, after 74 years, no player has scored more than six goals in the World Cup, so yesterday's Klose, he has scored three, which looks like it's close to the Golden Boot, and Germany will have at least three games left as long as there are no major surprises. ”

The German team won one game yesterday, and the opponents in the same group are not strong, and there is little suspense of advancing to the round of 16, so in Lineker's mouth, the German team has at least three more games. Klose's Golden Boot favourite is not for nothing. Because there are two group games left. The opponent is not strong.

"Wow, my gosh, what is Hall doing? What a strange scene! World Cup debut, he is not in the dressing room now, how did he bring his set in the Premier League to the World Cup! ”

Martin Taylor exclaimed.

In the Saitama World Cup Stadium, there was a slightly strange scene.

With 15 minutes to go, the entire Swedish squad, including the coach, was still in the dressing room, with only a few doctors on the bench. Non-team core personnel such as team leaders.

On the bench of the England national team, from the coach to the team doctor, except for Aldridge, everyone else sat on the bench.

But what about their players?

Apparently still in the locker room.

Aldridge was standing on the sidelines, with his hands in his pockets, pacing back and forth, sometimes stomping on the turf, sometimes looking around the court, I have to say. There are still a lot of his fans in the stands, and he can also make Japanese female fans scream.

"Haha. This is our young marshal of England! ”

Lineker let out a heartfelt exclamation.

"Gary, don't you think he should be in the dressing room right now to get his players motivated?"

"You're belittling the lads of the Three Lions, they know what it means to go to the World Cup, they know what they're fighting for, why do you need Hall to motivate them? It's no secret that Hall came to the stadium ahead of schedule, the reason for Fleet Street has already been revealed, the preparations, he has already done it, before the game, he will not put pressure on the team, at this time, don't you think, his leisurely behavior, but more confidence to the team, give confidence to the fans, and at the same time put pressure on the opponent? When the Swedish team walks out, will you see Hall standing there, as if everything is under his control, will the Swedish team be under pressure? Ha ha. ”

It's hard to get started, and so is the World Cup.

There were three games in the group stage, and the toughest one was actually the first one!

The first is the battle to lay the foundation of the group!

There are many strong teams planted in the first game, and the chain reaction will be that once the other opponents win or lose, then they will be 3 points behind the two opponents in points, and the subsequent schedule will be very difficult to play, and the strategic deployment from the overall height will fall into passivity, because you will have no secrets at all, lack of room for tactical changes, everyone knows that you will take the initiative to increase the attack, do not attack, you will be eliminated.

And if the first game wins, or draws, and the second game is still elusive, is the second game a fight for life and death, or wait and see, and wait for the third game to fight back to fight to get out of the encirclement? The choice is yours.

This is the difference between active and passive in the global form.

So when Aldridge still came to the pitch early, as if he were playing a league game in the Premier League or the Champions League, England's commentators were worried.

Aldridge is young after all, and there are naturally countless people who want to find fault with him.

He has not played in an international tournament and lacks experience in this area.

He's young, he's proud, will he have no one in his eyes who hasn't figured out what the World Cup is?

However, fans who like Aldridge and support Aldridge will not think about this, in their eyes, Aldrich is ready for everything, which will give others confidence!

Aldridge did have the idea of going into the locker room, but he quickly dispelled it, because he knew that if he walked in, it meant that he was nervous, and this nervousness would directly affect the whole team.

As he paced on the sidelines, he was trying to make his heartbeat calmer, calmer, sane, and even cold, removing all distractions and emotions.

He looked around the stands, not because he walked into an unfamiliar stadium, which was not a football temple, no glorious history, no football heritage for him to admire and feel.

He looked around, just trying to find his family, Arthur and Amelia, with Bert and Earle, cheering him on somewhere in the stands.

But he lowered his head again, stopped searching meaninglessly with his eyes, suppressed this thought, and made his mind clear and not distracted!

Embarking on the World Cup journey, Aldridge's external image and posture have changed significantly, he will not give people a relaxed sensory impression, on the contrary, he is majestic, cold, and ambitious!

At this moment, he raised his head, and the sharpness in his eyes was clear, and his chin was slightly raised like the conqueror's landing.

Once upon a time, he wanted to be in charge of the national team because of his desire to make himself more visible and at the same time give Millwall some positive influence.

But now, his thinking has completely changed, and his heart of fame and fortune has long faded.

Come to the World Cup, just to compete with the world's leaders, just to reach the pinnacle of the green world! (To be continued......)
