England, which went on a high-profile campaign, has made great progress as the media expected. Compared with two years ago, England's main lineup has not changed much, but it is much stronger in several key places.
Rodwell, who gained more main positions in Leyton Orient, became the youngest main player of the England national team. Carroll, who helped Newcastle return to the Premier League in the British Championship, became the first player in the history of the English national team. The main players in the British Championship who participated in the World Cup. Although Terry was injured before participating in the World Cup, with the rise of young players such as Taylor, and the veteran players such as Ferdinand Carragher getting stronger, Xiao Ming finally created a set of standards in the past two years. The strong lineup he requested.
In this World Cup, Xiao Ming's biggest change was to transform Daniel, pushing Daniel into the midfield in one fell swoop, making England's already extremely tough midfield even tougher - compared with two years ago, Rod Weir replaced Button, Daniel replaced Beckham, and together with Barry and Gerrard, this midfielder is the best in the world in terms of hardness.
The high-speed combination of Rooney and Carroll on the front line, and Richards on the defense replaced Daniel's right back position. Compared with the previous two years, Beckham failed to be selected for the national team this time, while Lampard The national team has been reduced to a substitute, but this England national team appears to be more mature and stronger.
The group won consecutively and qualified first in the group. Then they defeated Ghana 2-0 in the quarter-finals, defeated Uruguay 3-1 in the quarter-finals, and met the Netherlands in the semi-finals before they entered the final. The strongest opponent, but Carroll, who had only scored one goal in total before, shined brightly, helping England play the most classic game of this World Cup. Carroll scored twice, Rooney and Daniel provided assists each Scored a goal, and in a goal battle, England defeated the Netherlands 4-3 and advanced to the final with their heads held high!
On July 12, at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, the first World Cup final involving a European team outside Europe took place!
England vs Spain!
Spain is eager to avenge their elimination in the European Cup semi-finals two years ago. However, although they seem to be better than two years ago, England is also better than two years ago!
Two years ago, due to deficiencies in certain aspects of the lineup, many of Xiao Ming's tactical intentions were not able to be realized. Now, although Carroll and Rodwell are two young players who are not top superstars, they are playing for England. The lineup has made up for the last two shortcomings!
Excellent running ability against a strong defensive midfielder, excellent height against a good and powerful center!
By making up for these two shortcomings, England played the football that satisfied Xiao Ming the most in this World Cup!
The Soccer City Stadium, which can accommodate more than 90,000 people, is like an erupting volcano at the moment. Countless passions are sprayed out from the center of the stadium. The helicopters flying in the sky even feel a hint of danger. The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene seems to make them high in the sky. They all feel some crisis.
More than 200 countries and regions around the world are broadcasting this game, and more than 2 billion people are watching this game in front of the TV. Although the final of the European Cup is also attracting attention, only the World Cup is the highest honor of world football. and the palace.
Also sitting on the bench are Gerrard, Theo Walcott, Fabregas, Torres
This is a real final!
In the semi-finals, England eliminated the Netherlands, and Spain eliminated Germany. Before the game, people in Spain were full of confidence, because in the history of the World Cup, every European team that entered the World Cup final for the first time won the championship-1934 This is true for Italy, West Germany in 1954, England in 1966, and France in 1998! Now, it's Spain's turn!
England fans are dismissive of this. In their view, another pattern will continue to be true - as long as England reaches the finals in the World Series, they will definitely win the championship! It was like this in 1966, it was like this at the 2008 European Cup, it was like this at the 2009 Confederations Cup, and it will be no exception this time
No matter what, after this final, one rule will definitely fail
However, in terms of public opinion, England is generally more optimistic, except that they beat Spain two years ago.???I hope to be able to coach for a longer period of time. Mr. Mourinho will be the next head coach of Leyton Orient. He is not only the head coach, he is also the manager. He has the right to participate in the operation of the entire team. This is the most typical characteristic of English coaches. "Xiao Ming held Mourinho's hand at the press conference and said with a smile.
After three years of not seeing each other, Xiao Ming doesn't seem to have changed much. After five years of coaching at Inter Milan and Real Madrid, Mourinho has turned gray on his temples. Obviously, Xiao Ming, who enjoys life wholeheartedly, has more worries than Mourinho. Rino is much less
"Xiao, sometimes I really envy you." Mourinho smiled bitterly after the press conference: "You coached the team earlier than me, won more championships than me, became more famous than me, and even retired. It was so much earlier than me I am only seven years older than you, but now it seems that you are much younger than me."
"Haha, Jose, don't envy me I am a miracle that cannot be copied!" Xiao Ming happily patted Mourinho on the shoulder: "Do it well, Jose, maybe when you retire in the future, you will get There will be more championships than me!¡±
"I hope so." Mourinho snorted, but thought in his heart - but at the national team level, how can I surpass you
Taking over Leyton Orient five years later is an acceptable result for Mourinho and Xiao Ming. After all, Leyton Orient is now facing reconstruction, and Mourinho does not need to bear Xiao Ming too much. Pressure, Xiao Ming is not worried about a mature team being torn apart by Mourinho. If it was five years ago, maybe it would be different
Two months after Mourinho took office, a biographical film independently invested and filmed by Xiao Ming began to be released around the world. This film is not only a promotional film for Leyton Orient, but also a personal biography of Xiao Ming. The movie quotes most of Leyton Orient¡¯s real development experiences and a series of legendary deeds of Xiao Ming. For Leyton Orient fans around the world, this is the best opportunity to review and collect.
So although it didn't cost much, there weren't any stars, and the box office wasn't great, the audio and video recordings sold for sky-high prices, and the global sales of tens of millions of copies shocked the world a little bit again. It also fits the name of the movie.
