    Defeating Portugal by a big score and entering the semi-finals of the World Cup is an incredible achievement for England in history.

    At this point, all the English players took a long breath. They have fulfilled the expectations of the Football Association, and this result is enough to explain to all fans.  But today is different from the past. With such an advantage and smoothness in reaching the semi-finals, fans all over the world are looking forward to whether England can win the Hercules Cup, which symbolizes the world championship. The pressure has returned to the team.

    Entering the semi-finals is a new situation. Faced with an interview with reporters, Eriksson said: "Our journey to the World Cup has only just begun." The natural meaning is that England will really face pressure from now on.

    So, what about the teams eliminated by England?

    This may be an insult to the Portuguese team who returned home, but there is no way. The team that lost by a big score has no say. They can only watch England show off their power.

    Entering the semi-finals, England¡¯s opponent is the French team.

    France is definitely England's biggest rival. Looking back on history, the French team and the English team have endless stories, even more so than Portugal and Sweden. The two teams have always been mortal enemies. However, in recent years, the French team  The performance in world football is much more brilliant than that of the England team.

    Before the end of the last century, France had successively produced top-notch players such as Fontaine, Platini, and Papin, who were all powerful. However, despite winning the European Championship in 1986, in general, French football is still considered  Not at the top level in the world.  This status quo did not end until the 1998 World Cup in France: Zidane and Djorkaeff were unstoppable in their prime years, and veterans such as Deschamps, Desailly, and Blanco stabilized the morale of the army.  Henry and Trezeguet are also gradually emerging.

    It was precisely with the outstanding performance of this strong player that the French team won the World Cup in history, and succeeded again in the European Championship two years later.

    However, with the withdrawal of many veterans from the national team, the strength of the French team dropped suddenly. It was shocking that the French team was eliminated in the group stage of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. It once ranked fourth in the group in the qualifiers of this World Cup.  At the critical moment, Zidane, Makelele and Thuram came back and successfully helped the Gallic Rooster directly qualify for the World Cup in Germany as the first in the group.  From Fontaine to Henry, from Platini to Zidane, French football has no shortage of soul figures in the midfield and frontcourt, and its smooth short passing penetration has also caused great headaches for the great powers.

    As long as the French take the game seriously enough, no team in the world can easily defeat them. In this year's German competition, the French team is still a force that cannot be ignored.

    The current French team is one of the most influential teams in world football. This time it has reached the semi-finals, and has also eliminated strong teams such as Spain and Brazil. They are considered to be the most powerful team to win the championship.  Among the strong teams, Germany, Italy, and France are all strong teams, and only England is considered a 'pseudo dark horse'.

    Of the three opponents, according to media analysis, the German team as the host is the weakest. France and Italy both have championship potential. England is difficult to figure out. England relies not on actual strength, but on the individual performance of its stars. Don Jack is alone.  His performance can affect the performance of the entire England team.

    There is only one decisive victory, no one dares to say that there is no surprise, Tang Jieke has been able to perform as well as before.

    However, Tang Jack himself had an indifferent attitude at all. Before the game, he refused to be interviewed by reporters and just sat silently training with the team. He looked cautious. The British News Agency commented that "Jack is preparing for the game seriously."  But in fact, Tang Jieke doesn't care at all. For him, football has no challenge.

    Putting aside the hustle and bustle before the game, the game started soon.

    The French team has veterans like Zidane, and also has many stars who are still in their playing years, such as Henry, Trezeguet and others. They are indeed very strong. However, when they encounter England, mainly Don Jack, the stars no longer  The French team is a good defensive team, but they were timid at the beginning of the game against England.

    This attitude always caused the French team¡¯s defense to make various mistakes. Fortunately, the players made up for these mistakes with practical actions and guarded the goal in the first ten minutes.

    "really not bad!"

    This kind of defense even made Tang Jie Ke save a sentence. Next, the game started to be fought for. The two teams began to compete continuously for control of the middle and long lengths. The fiery atmosphere of the game became more and more intense.  The players on the court are also becoming more and more active.

    But fans all know that this is very detrimental to the French team.

    The media¡¯s evaluation of the French team is ¡°Although this French team has strength"But it lacks vitality." The English players on the field now feel it very clearly. After the English team used cooperation to attack the French team's hinterland, the French team's midfielders and backfielders ran very little, and they did not move after being passed.  He will chase the ball. This kind of game state and fighting spirit give people a feeling of twilight.

    This greatly increased the confidence of England players in the game.

    However, it is not easy to find opportunities. The French team players look like they are late, but there is a reason why head coach Domenech trusts these veterans. The French team has been able to hold on until now and directly entered the semi-finals of the World Cup.  They must have the ability.  The biggest advantage of the French team is that their players have so much experience in competitions.

    In the midfield, it goes without saying that generals like Zidane and Makelele have won several European Champions Cups. Their game experience allows them to put in even half of their efforts.  , and it is much better than the 120% effort of many people with the same skills.

    Both of them are the top players in the world. Whether it is Zidane's skills or Makelele's ferocity, they are unique in the world.

    In addition to the two, Vieira is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world today.  He has excellent physical fitness, strong confrontation ability, flexibility and good foot skills. He is a near-perfect defensive midfielder.

    With three of the world's top midfielders standing in the French team's midfield, you can imagine how difficult it is for England's offense.

    Coupled with the rich experience of several veterans in the French backcourt, it is not easy for England to use British "rough play" tactics to penetrate the French team's defense.

    The game then reached a stalemate, with France looking to defend and England looking to make a breakthrough in attack. Don Jack didn't like this kind of game, so he tried to find ways to give the team an advantage.

    He saw the solidity of the French team's defense. It was very difficult for England to cross the midfield with the cooperation of the team. In desperation, Tang Jieke could only choose to dribble the ball by himself. In fact, he was unwilling to do so, but the French team's  Being strong made him feel helpless. At this time, he thought his teammates were 'untrustworthy'.

    This idea seems too extreme, but it is also correct on the other hand.

    The personal abilities of England¡¯s players, especially their coordination, are inferior to those of the French team. The overall disadvantage makes it difficult for the team to gain opportunities. It is useless to trust teammates at this time. Although England has been attacking, there are no good opportunities.

    ¡°David, there¡¯s a chance to pass the ball into the penalty area!¡± he said to Beckham.

    In the current England team, Don Jack is definitely the number one player on the team. As the captain, Beckham must admit this. So on the court, Don Jack rarely gives orders, but all his orders are taken by his teammates.  It was executed unconditionally and no one questioned it. Facing a player that he could only look up to, who would question his decision?

    No matter what, Tang Jieke¡¯s command must be for victory, and they have no reason to refuse.

    As a result, England's tactics suddenly became simpler. Just a moment ago, the England team was still using short passes to penetrate and try to break through the defense, but immediately their style of play changed into the 'traditional British style', flying to the French penalty area one by one.  Long passes appeared. These long passes were often not very accurate. But combined with Don Jack, who kept wandering in the penalty area and caused a headache for the French defenders, the threat became much greater.

    The French team is very uncomfortable!

    ? Next, twenty-four minutes into the first half of the game, Tang Jack finally got a good opportunity.  Beckham dribbled the ball from the right. After encountering an interception, he and Gerrard played a one-two. When there was a gap, he lobbed the ball into the penalty area. This was a long-distance lob pass.  ball.

    After passing the ball, Beckham just stood there and watched without moving forward, because he knew that if the team's black-haired boy could get the ball, it would be a goal, otherwise the French team would launch a counterattack.

    ¡°Jack!!¡± the on-site commentator shouted.

    I saw Don Jack jumping up directly in front of the French goal. Being flanked by two defensive players, he jumped high and headed the ball towards the left corner of the goal. French goalkeeper Barthez made a mistake in his prediction. He thought his teammates would steal it.  The ball only blocked the angle on the right side, but he also wanted to hit the ball out. When the football flew over, he had no time to save it.

    The ball is scored!

    One to zero, England took the lead.

    However, players from both teams know that the game has only just begun, but many French fans already feel that the team has no hope. Facing the strong England No. 10, what should they use to defend?

    Zidane?  Is he really good?

    French fans feel confused because theyThere is no way to limit the performance of the opponent's players. Such a game is really scary. Without a way to limit the opponent's performance, there is no way for the team to strive for victory. Now it is lagging behind again. What should France do?

    The confusionhas been spreading.

    Many French players are also a little confused. They don¡¯t know how to continue the game.

    After losing their fighting spirit, the game can be described as "no suspense". England played the game with great momentum, while the French team seemed to have no resistance at all, like puppets who had lost their will, and they just continued to play symbolic games.  The competition can be imagined.

    ?¡­

    The 90-minute game passed quickly. In the end, England defeated France with three goals and won. Don Jack was replaced in the 80th minute. His perfect performance of scoring two goals and dominating the game won the game.  The fans cheered.

    After the game, the head coach of the French team emphasized again: "We just lost to one person!"

    I have heard this argument many times, but this is the first time it has come from a head coach of a world-leading team.  At the same time, another semi-final match between host Germany and Italy also ended. At the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, Italy relied on Grosso and Del Piero's last-minute goals in overtime.  The goal finally defeated Germany 2:0 to take the lead in advancing to the World Cup finals, and ended the German team's 14-game unbeaten record in Dortmund.

    Italy has faced Germany 7 times in the competition and remains unbeaten with 3 wins and 4 draws. It has entered the World Cup finals for the sixth time in history. Italy has also extended its unbeaten record in official matches to 24 games.

    So at 2 pm on July 10th, Italy will compete with England in the final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

    The host country was eliminated, leaving only two teams, Italy and England. This was something that no one thought before the game. Italian football and English football have always been fiercely competitive. This can be seen from the league. Before 2000, Italy  It is known as the 'Little World Cup'. However, in recent years, with the rise of the Premier League, the Italian league and the English league have become equal. Every year in UEFA's evaluation, the gap between the two leagues is not big. This is also the reason why the Italian and English leagues are not that big.  The epitome of English football rivalry.

    Some media pointed out that Tang Jack's next stop is likely to be Serie A. If Tang Jack shows his strength now, it is likely to give those Italian giants who want to buy him a shot in the arm, allowing them to take action bravely. After all, it is different from other football clubs.  No matter how good the team performs, it may not be able to adapt to Serie A. Italy's defense is the strongest in the world. Only by being able to break the Italian team's defense and create goals can it truly prove that he can adapt to Serie A.

    With an investment of hundreds of millions, any club must carefully consider it.

    ?¡­

    The World Cup finals are about to come. It can be said that it is not easy to get to this point. But the closer it gets, Tang Jieke is not nervous at all. Since his breakthrough in internal strength, no opponent can be an obstacle, and the Italian team is certainly the same.  Likewise, they are a little better than other teams, just a little bit, but the gap between Tang Jack and ordinary players can no longer be made up with hard work.

    This gap makes Tang Jieke feel very lonely, undefeated loneliness.

    ¡°Football, it¡¯s over here.¡± Tang Jieke thought indifferently during daily training.

    Speaking of daily training, in the tense atmosphere before the game, England's training was very serious. Only Tang Jieke was surprised. He felt that these trainings had no effect on improving his condition and strength. He didn't know what to do, but it could be said that  No one will understand if you come out.

    He is very uncomfortable, but he has no choice. What Tang Jieke is looking forward to is to end the World Cup as soon as possible so that he can take a long vacation to consider the future.

    Now, he is at the top of professional players!

    With his strength, there is no difficulty in any ordinary person's game, whether it is Italy or Germany, these cannot bring him the fun of the game, so what is life for?

    He is tired of it!

    Before the start of the World Cup and his breakthrough in internal strength, he had always thought about playing football for the rest of his life, but now he no longer has this idea. Playing games that are guaranteed to win every day, he feels like a clown standing on the stage, even though  I have received a lot of honors, but that is meaningless at all. The life I need is constant breakthroughs and challenges, but that is not the case now.

    With this dull mentality, the final against Italy began.

    The attention of hundreds of millions of fans did not bring any excitement to Don Jack. He felt that he had really become a clown and the game had become no fun at all. But for the sake of his promise, and for the sake of the England team and all his friends, he must win.  opponent.

     This "Enter the Dragon" that the outside world has been waiting for for a long time, in fact, from the moment Don Jack made up his mind, Italy lost. They did not lose to the England team, but lost to Don Jack alone, a handicap  They are an opponent that is difficult to defeat as a team!

    The outcome was obvious, with the Italian team ultimately losing to England by three goals.

    This World Cup also ended with the England team winning the cup, but Tang Jack felt that this moment was a new starting point in his life, and it was time for him to plan for his future!

    Apart from football, his life is a mess.

    Emotionally, little Vanessa and Li Xue are both my own women, so how will I solve it? There are also other problems, such as my passport is still British, but I don¡¯t have Chinese nationality, which is also difficult.  The solution is that in his heart, he will always be a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, so he should have Chinese nationality.

    At this moment, he was willing to give up a lot of things for this.
