Godfather Of Champions

The stands at the Camp Nou stadium are full. Because Spain is close to Portugal, so many Portuguese fans came to this game, they almost turned the Barcelona stadium into the home of the Portuguese team.

The reporters present all got a big list of England, this list includes all the members on the starting and bench. Someone saw the name "George Wood" on it. They were a little confused-didn't it mean that Wood was not well and could not participate in all stages of the group stage? Shouldn't he be sitting in the stands at this time, not on the bench?

Is it all smoke bombs cast by Dunn?

The English reporter knew what was going on. Dunn must hope that George Wood, as the captain, can be with the team in every game, so as to give the team a sense of peace of mind.

They guessed it right.

Although George Wood can't play, he is doing what he can to help the team.

His teammates were warming up on the field. Instead of watching the show, he helped the coaches put the triangle cones. Then he did some jogging to warm up. This scene fell in the eyes of the reporters and caused another round of discussion.

"I really can't see the impact of his injury. Look at his running motion, how normal!"

"No, you can still tell if you look closely, the front end of his right foot is still afraid to exert force."

"Yes, jogging and playing on the court are two concepts... Alas, it was not a problem to qualify for the group, but now I am worried about England."

"What are you worrying about! It's not that without George Wood, England is just a mob. Are the best players in the Premier League to be seen?"

Someone murmured in their hearts: "The Premier League’s publicity is so moist, maybe it’s really taken to see..."

Let's count the players in this England squad. There are probably only four people who can reach the real world-class level, Gerrard, Terry, Rooney and George Wood. It is still unknown whether the others can be the main players in the giant clubs of Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga. Just like Lennon, who was considered the first choice on the right in England, he couldn't even play as a substitute at Inter Milan.

So for those who know the ball, England has always been a "pseudo strong team". The English media must also understand football, but in order to satisfy the pride and arrogance of the English fans, they advocate that the genius of England football is everywhere, and the goal is to be superb and more like a dog. Only in this way can they bring economic benefits to them. After all, no one likes to listen to bad things about their support of the team.

So all previous England looks shining stars, but they are actually vulnerable, just like a porcelain vase with a glamorous appearance. What's more terrifying is that these English players live all day in the lies and exaggerated propaganda of the media. They really think they are world-class, unwilling to continue to improve, arrogant, and collectively drop the chain at a critical moment.

This is no secret. People all over Europe know that England is just blowing hard. For example, in this game their opponent Portuguese knew this very well.

After warming up and returning to the dressing room, Queiroz analyzed the current situation in England for the players. He came to a conclusion-Tony Dunn was bluffing, saying that without him, I wish others would think that England without George Wood is a second-rate team, which is actually the case. If Portugal is afraid of the legendary England’s "nuclear-free tactics" and shrinks in the game, it will lose a great opportunity.

This is a rare opportunity to score points.

Queiroz remembered Dunn's contempt for him at the press conference yesterday, which made him very hot. That man was just lucky to have won the Champions League several times. Why he is famous is not because of his strength, but because he is in England! In the over-developed state of the media, things like Zhima can make them boast that it is a major event affecting the development of the world.

A maverick, full of swear words, and married a 21-year-old supermodel wife, how could he not be famous? He just cursed "FUCK" on this scene and it was enough for the media to speculate for a week.

His fame and self-confidence are built on this kind of foundation, and this kind of foundation is simply fragile and vague.

This game will let you know...

"We must attack at the beginning of the game." Queiroz said, looking at his players.

※※※

"If the kick-off is in our hands, retreat after a round of offense and lead them out. If the kick-off is in their hands, that's just right, let them attack and we defensively counterattack."

Dunn was making final arrangements in the locker room.

"The first fifteen minutes of the game should be when you are under the greatest pressure. Anyway, I don't want to see a goal conceded. Even if I sacrifice the offense, I have to hold it. Once the opponent has the first goal, the game will not be good. Up."

He said sternly: "This is our first group stage. Whether we can qualify or not depends on the result of this match. Guys, we must admit that we are in a bad situation now. Our opponents want to take advantage of this." Everyone knows he was referring to George Wood’s absence from the group stage.

"I heard some sayings before, I don't know if you have heard them." Dunn laughed suddenly, but in the eyes of players who knew him, his smile at this time was very strange.

"The outside world has such a view of us. They think that the England team is based on the British media. In fact, the strength is only second-rate in Europe."

Some of the players showed surprise on their faces, while others didn't seem surprised.

"I don't know what you think, but I am not very happy. Because you were selected by me, the team you formed is called'European second-rate'. European second-rate!" Dunn suddenly raised the volume, "I don't care about the past. What is the performance of the England team and what is the impression it gives. I only know one thing-my team is for the championship. Will a team that can win the European championship be second-rate in Europe? "

"No, no, boss."

The players answered one after another.

"So I have been thinking that we need a chance to prove this to them. Prove that we are not ostentatious." Dunn waved, "Portugal is a good opponent." He laughed, "We will not be defeated by them. It is not persuasive to be seen as winning a weak team. As long as we win Portugal, those **** who say we are'European second-rate' can only be slapped by us! But a victory in a game is not enough, because there are always some diehards I would say that we were lucky, so this game, the next game, the next game... until the final, we will all win!"

The emotions of the players were gradually mobilized by Dunn.

When the time is right, Tang En said: “I don’t care which club you come from or what kind of football concept education you receive. I want to say that with me, in the national team, I have forgotten your identity in the club and football. The football of the national team is very simple, I don’t ask you to do anything except victory!"

Wood hasn't had this experience for a long time, sitting on the bench watching his teammates play. In the past of Erickson and McLaren, he often enjoyed the treatment of sitting in the position closest to the stadium to watch the game. Later, he gradually grew into the team's main midfielder, but he did not expect to become a spectator again after many years.

It doesn't feel very good.

The game has started, Terry won the right to pick the side, so possession of the ball belongs to Portugal. Dunn was very satisfied with the result. He applauded below before the game started.

After the game started, Portugal took advantage of their kick-off to take the initiative on the court.

There are many similarities between Portuguese and Spanish football. Both belong to the European Latin school. They pay attention to ball control and have delicate skills at their feet. They sneer at the British style of playing long passes. Once they are allowed to control the ball, it is difficult for the opponent to grab it again.

Portugal did exactly that in the first ten minutes of the game.

As long as the ball is at their feet, unless an attack is completed, it will be difficult for the England team to break their ball. Portugal's two full-backs can therefore rest assured and boldly insert assists.

Moutinho and Veloso pinned England's Gerrard and Michael Johnson in the center, Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma kept hitting England's defense line from left to right.

The only good news is that high centers like Mitchell are not in Portugal, and they cannot use headers to threaten Joe Hart's goal.

It's just that the Portuguese changed their style of play after discovering that they hadn't laughed blindly in the wing pass.

In the beginning, when Portugal made frequent crosses from the wing, the England team almost gave up the wing defense, shrinking the center and mainly letting the pass. Now after Portugal's targeted adjustments, the England team is a little embarrassed.

Portugal's wingers have outstanding skills, speed and awareness. They are not only passers who pass. At the same time, they are also well-known side assaulters.

Quaresma used a fake action to wipe out England's left midfielder Downing on the right, and then suddenly cut inwards. Joe Matoke reached out to steal the ball but tripped the opponent. The referee whistled and fined Matoke a foul. This foul scared all England supporters into a cold sweat-the place of the foul was only one step away from the penalty area. Quaresma almost made a penalty!

If that were the case, Dunn's pre-match deployment would be completely void. Thanks to George Wood’s "Blessing", Quaresma suffered a serious injury. In addition, he is now thirty-two years old, and his speed is not as good as before, but his skills are becoming more and more mature, much like Luis Figo. You can fool your opponents to complete the breakthrough by just using the technology under your feet.

Veloso took a free kick, he did not choose to cross, but directly shot from the corner of the penalty area!

He completely lied to England goalkeeper Joe Hart. When the football flew out of the bottom line against the goal post, where was Joe Hart still preparing to prevent a cross...

"Wow! What a pity!" shouted the commentator.

There was also a huge sigh from the stands. The Portuguese fans account for the vast majority of the Nou Camp and have completely become the home stadium of the Portuguese national team.

Having lost such a good chance to score, Veloso was also a little upset. He looked up at the sky, muttering incessantly.

This shot made Dunn also stand up from the coach's bench, and he felt a little nervous. No matter how much preparation is done before the game, it is impossible to predict exactly what will happen in the game. This may be a charm of football games, but it is torture for Dunn.

"If you want to foul, remember to stay away from the penalty area..." he muttered to himself from the sidelines.

Without George Wood, England is not as good as before in midfield defense. Portugal's midfielder clearly had the upper hand, they then besieged England's goal, hoping to score an early goal.

The Portuguese fans in the stands cheered for their team and spared no effort.

But twenty minutes passed, and Portugal's indiscriminate bombing did not yield any results. England's dense defense left the Portuguese at a loss.

They want to use their personal skills to break through, but England would rather give them a free kick than let them break through. It also deserves that the Portuguese can't score. Today, their free kickers are not in good serving conditions. Except for Veloso, who used Joe Hart's inertial thinking to threaten the goal, there was no more goal to make Ha Very embarrassed.

Seeing that his team was unable to face the dense defense, the Portuguese commentator sarcastically said: "When did England shrink to defend? It's like a weaker from Eastern Europe. Tony Dunn coaches the forest. When he was playing, the Forest team’s style of play was considered the most unsightly and least passionate. Now he has transformed England into this way..."

The BBC commentator Mortensen, who is responsible for explaining the England game, doesn’t care about that much. He loudly applauded Dunn’s team: “The Portuguese thought their offense was very sharp, but in front of England’s defense, they knew they were wrong. How outrageous!"

The German coach sitting in the stands wrote in his notebook: "...The strength of England without George Wood is obviously damaged. They use more intensive defense to reduce the pressure of the back line..."

Later in the same day, the German team will play against Wales in Valencia, and they have not forgotten to pay close attention to the other two qualified competitors in this group. As for Wales, they don't care.

Ze Castro, the central defender of the Portuguese national team, is completely bored. His teammates were busy breaking the England goal in front, and he and Pepe stayed behind to watch the play. Such a game is really boring.

He looked around and continued to run a short distance forward, pressing on the centerline. In his mind, he wondered whether he should take the time to get in and take part in the offense, so he would have a good long shot.

"José, come back!" Pepe suddenly called out his name from behind.

Castro rushed and waved. England is like a tortoise. What's to be afraid of?

"This fool!" Peipei cursed in a low voice after seeing that he couldn't call him back.

He set his sights on the England coaching bench on the sidelines.

Tony Dunn is standing in the command area with his hands in his pockets. Fortunately, he is not sitting on the coach's bench with his legs upright.

After a couple of years, he hasn't forgotten the boss's habitual movements. Different movements represent different meanings. Only the players of Nottingham Forest can understand. If he sits on the sidelines with Erlang's legs cocked, it means that he has a clear mind, and there must be a conspiracy behind it. Now that he is standing on the sidelines, it shows that he is not very bottomed in his heart-he is also afraid that his team will be destroyed by the Portuguese offensive.

Maybe you are nervous?

Pepe shook his head slightly. I don't know why watching England guard so embarrassed, he always has an ominous premonition in his heart. It felt familiar, it was the smell of Nottingham Forest.

If the England team in front of us changes the white jersey to red, it will look more like it.

Pepe was distracted. His center-back partner simply overwhelmed the center line. After receiving a return pass from his teammates, he made a false shot and chose to break through with the ball by himself!

As a Portuguese player, even a central defender also has a delicate footwork. He successfully passed the midfield and chose to pass when approaching the England penalty area. But after passing the football to his teammate Moutinho, he didn't run back, but continued forward, wanting to make a two-to-one!

Moutinho's pass was interrupted by Michael Johnson!

England strikes back!

Johnson passed the ball to Gerrard, a long pass forward!

The frontcourt lighthouse Mitchell got stuck in front of Veloso, then jumped high and flew the header...

The football flew diagonally to the rear. Walcott is plugging in at high speed!

At this time, only Pepe and goalkeeper Rui Patricio were in the backcourt of Portugal. The Portuguese did not even react for a moment-is our backcourt so empty? Where are people?

"Asshole!" At this time, Pepe could only curse his partner Castro who rushed up to vent his anger. He quickly threw down the middle and ran to the side to intercept Walcott. The speed of this kid was 100 meters sprint level. ...

The ominous premonition in his heart has come true, and this scene is so familiar to himself-when they used to be in the Forest team, they used to deal with those powerful opponents in this way. When the opponents were complacent about besieging the forest, they didn't even know that their Achilles' heels had been completely exposed to the forest team's firepower.

Pepe grabbed Walcott's ball with the idea of ​​fouling. He flew to shovel, hoping to knock the opponent out of the court with the ball.

But he miscalculated. He might be able to do this two years ago, but he, who is already thirty-two, has no capital to underestimate the youth of "Little Tiger" Walcott.

Walcott stabbed the ball before his toe touched the football. Then Arsenal's winger leaped lightly and avoided Pepe's flying shovel.

breakthrough!

Dunn took his hands out of his trouser pockets, clenching his fists and preparing to swing.

England's opportunity to defend for more than 20 minutes finally came, and it came so easily that he worried that Walcott would have too many distracting thoughts in his heart to waste this excellent opportunity...

"If you miss the shot in the next game, let me sit on the bench!" Dunn muttered fiercely.

Walcott broke through Pepe, and the other Forest players did not watch the show behind. The attackers of Mitchell, Rooney, and Downing all raised their speed to the highest, and ran to the opponent's penalty area desperately, ready to receive possible passes.

This makes the Portuguese feel terrified-this is definitely not an accident, it is a premeditated counterattack, this is a naked conspiracy!

Now even if Walcott slows down, England has a great chance of scoring. Portugal's central defender Ze Castro even only returns to the middle circle... He is running very hard, but he is born. Not a speed player. It was the two full-backs who were chasing back quickly.

Rooney rushed to the front, he raised his arm and signaled that Walcott could pass the ball.

Walcott, who had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area, looked at the goalkeeper Patricio who was hitting, then looked at Rooney and swept the football past.

The ball was a little forward...Rooney gritted his teeth and rushed over, then shoveled!

"England's counterattack... Walcott is fast! Patricio strikes! He abandons and strikes! Rooney rushes in. Will Walcott pass the ball... He passes the ball! He passes. The ball is up! A little bit big, some big, some big... tackles!!" The neutral Spanish commentator spoke extremely fast, like a machine gun, making the audience's heart beat faster.

He shoveled the football and the football bounced towards the goal.

Mortensen already shouted out the sound of celebrating the goal in advance: "GOOOO——"

The football flew out of a parabola and fell into the empty goal.

"——OOOAL!!!"

Pepe lying outside saw this scene and smashed the turf with his hand angrily.

Dunn raised his fists to the sky. The people on the coaching bench and bench behind him rushed out, punching and cheering.

Rooney got up from the ground and opened his arms and rushed to Walcott who was passing the ball for him excitedly. Downing and Mitchell who were still sprinting just now turned to chase Rooney without slowing down. Other players in England are also rushing to the front. This scene is really spectacular.

It only took less than fifteen seconds from the time England intercepted the ball to when they rushed out to celebrate the goal. More Portuguese players still froze in the frontcourt and did not react.

Queiroz angrily kicked the water bottle by his feet. England is too forced and cunning! !

"England scored their first goal in this tournament. In the 23rd minute, they led Portugal 1-0! This was only their second shot in the game! A terrifying efficiency! "

After the goal, the English players hugged each other tightly, and Dunn saw the "unity" he wanted most. He glanced at the angry Queiroz, he knew that Portugal could not lift his palm.
