Godfather Of Champions

Sorry, I forgot to post it regularly...

※※※

One day has passed since the game, and Spanish fans may still be reluctant to accept the fact that the pre-match favorite Spanish team was eliminated by a world wave by the least likely player in the England team.

This game made George Wood famous in world football. Even the most pseudo-fans now know George Wood's name.

After the game against Spain, George Wood received a urine test without any problems. He was subsequently named the best on the spot. The official FIFA website commented on him: "The impeccable defensive and game attitude, the final moment to kill the big favorite Spain, reflects the full value of a midfielder core."

Mortensen's new nickname for Wood was also widely spread with his hysteria when scoring goals, and now English fans have changed their mouths to George Wood as "Saint George". After the game, there was a voice resounding in the streets and alleys and tavern squares of England-"Saint George Bless England!"

The English media claimed that George Wood's groundbreaking shot was completely comparable to that of David Pratt's hook shot against Belgium at the last minute in the eighth-finals of the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Pratt’s goal twenty years ago saved England and helped the team reach the quarter-finals. Twenty years later, George Wood's world wave helped the team reach the quarter-finals.

Fabregas seemed very frustrated after the game, but he praised George Wood's performance in an interview: "...I tried to break his ball, but he was too fast. Maybe I should foul earlier. Ok... this is football. One second of hesitation made us lose the game... He performed well and deserves to win the game. I wish him good luck."

Capello rarely praises a player alone, but this "law" doesn't work for George Wood. In an interview after the game, he was in a very high mood. He took the initiative to mention to the reporters the hero of the game, George Wood: "He is a great player, and I am thankful for having such a player on the team. Yes. Yes, that ball is very beautiful, but I value his performance one hundred and nineteen minutes before the goal-it is perfect. He completely contained Xavi and Fabregas, not conceding the ball is the best effort for him So sure..."

Bosque was calm after losing the World Cup. When he was asked about George Wood’s performance, he replied: “Capello’s triple midfielder is very successful, but without George Wood, the triple midfielder is not what people think. That's great. He is the core of midfield defense... Yes, I think he is the best defensive midfielder in world football in recent years. But maybe in a few years I have to get rid of the defensive type-that The goal is beautiful. I have nothing to say to be defeated by such a goal."

Dunn, who discovered and trained George Wood, became the target of the media after the game. He was not surprised at Wood’s success: “Because I knew he would succeed. If Eriksson were as smart as Capello, England might go further in Germany. If McLaren had his head Be sober, then England won’t need to be a spectator in the summer of 2008. You see, anyone who looks down on Wood will end up miserably. You think that Nottingham Forest has two UEFA Champions Leagues and one League Champion in two years. It’s luck. Yes? There is'Saint George', what else can't be done?" At this point, Dunn smiled triumphantly. He really likes the new nickname Mortensen gave to Wood in the live broadcast, which is much better than "monster", "cyborg" and "future fighter".

So many people praised George Wood, so what does he think of him?

"I am very happy to be able to reach the semi-finals. I just play normally." He said "I am very happy", but there was no obvious smile on his face.

"He is just playing normally, I really want to see what his extraordinary performance looks like..." the reporter who interviewed him said in the report.

In short, George Wood established his position in world football in one fell swoop.

Before the start of the World Cup, until the group stage. The English media are still arguing about whether to start Lampard and Gerrard or George Wood and Gerrard to start. There is manpower for Lampard, manpower for George Wood. The problem of "double virtues" in England has not been resolved because of Capello's arrival. On the contrary, "double virtues" have become "three virtues", and there is a growing trend.

It's fine now, all the sounds of arguing disappear overnight. Some media even said: "Capello should not consider who should start George Wood and Lampard, but who is the other person who will start with George Wood?"

It seems that "St. George"'s World Cup journey seems to have just begun, and he still has time to write his own legend. Because of Wood's outstanding performance, England fans even began to look forward to reaching the finals and winning the Hercules Gold Cup.

"...Since 1966, we have never been able to get close to that trophy. Every World Cup we say that this is the strongest England team in history. But actually? But this World Cup may have one A different ending. Capello is a defensive coach. In the World Series, defense means championships and victories. Now with'Saint George', we have the power to dream more!"

But "St. George"'s World Cup tour ends here.

In the semifinals they met the Italian team led by "Silver Fox" Lippi.

This is a contest between the two Italian coaches and a direct dialogue between conservative and more conservative. In the end, Italy's reinforced concrete chain defense defeated England. Facing Italy's shrinking defense, England lacked the means and ideas to break the deadlock. The weakness of their lack of an organizational midfielder was exposed. Both Gerrard and Lampard are more like scoring midfielders and are slightly inferior in passing organization.

In Italy, Pirlo organized the team's midfield in an orderly manner. Threatening England's goal through defensive counterattacks, so that England dare not press across the board.

In the end, the game was dragged into a penalty shoot-out.

In fact, when it entered overtime, England was already exhausted-playing with Spain for 120 minutes consumed too much energy, and playing with Italy for 120 minutes... Thinking of this, the English players' Thoughts have already begun to collapse.

The only exceptions are George Wood and Gerrard, who are still running tirelessly, hoping to break the deadlock for the team. Wood even intends to repeat the old tricks, inserting a shot from behind. In fact, at the end of the game, the fans and media in England really hoped so...

But their opponent this time is not Spain, whose midfield is almost undefended, but Italy, the originator of defensive football.

George Wood was focused on guarding, the Italian players would rather foul early than give Wood a chance to intervene later. On several occasions, Wood hastily kicked his shot and missed his head. Although England fans have been chanting during the game: "St. George bless England (St. George_for_England)", this time "St. George" did not show up again and he failed to bless England.

The game was dragged into a penalty shoot-out, and the English had completely lost their confidence-it was not the first time they fell in front of a penalty kick. In penalty kicks, almost everyone will have an inexplicable psychological shadow.

George Wood was not included in the penalty kick list by Capello. Although his mental quality is very good, his shooting skills are really not reassuring.

The result was no suspense, the world's best goalkeeper Buffon saved a penalty kick, "scare" a penalty kick. Italy made four of four free throws. The fifth man of England didn't even play and the game ended.

Dunn is not sad about this result. On the one hand, he is not a real Englishman and will not feel sad and happy because of the fate of this team; on the other hand, when the game is dragged into overtime, He already saw the fate of England in his heart-he couldn't keep up with his physical strength, and he didn't get eliminated in overtime by Italy. It can only be said that the England team was lucky, but good luck made them in two overtime games. It ran out and was powerless in the penalty shoot-out.

George Wood stood side by side in the center circle with his teammates, watching his teammates come forward one by one to take the penalty kick, either happy or frustrated. And he can only watch his World Cup end here.

He didn't get a minute to play in the World Cup in Germany. Even if England were eliminated by Portugal, he didn't have any special emotions other than feeling Beckham's sadness. Four years later, South Africa is different. From the knockout stage, he has become the main player. He really feels that he is a member of this team. England is able to reach the semi-finals, he has a great contribution, he deserves more rewards, not just stop in the semi-finals...

He felt sad.

But he did not cry. He doesn't even remember crying during his lifetime. He just stood on the spot, the stick was straight, and he didn't even bow his head to vent his disappointment. He could not move because he was leaning on a person with his back.

Lampard, who came off the bench in overtime, was the fifth penalty shooter, but the game was over before it was his turn. He finally cried after lying on the back of Wood. Not that he is not strong enough, but because he knows that this may be his last World Cup trip-in 2010 he was thirty-two years old, in four years he will be thirty-six years old, it is almost impossible to play for the country in the World Cup again Up.

No matter how strong a man is, he can't stand such a blow.

When Beckham was replaced in the game against Portugal and he was sitting on the sidelines hiding his face and weeping, there were people who criticized him for not forgetting to show at any time. Those people just stand and talk without backache. People who have never experienced this kind of thing will never understand how sad they are.

When the fourth Italian player Grosso blasted the football into the gate guarded by Joe Hart, the Italian players next to him buzzed up, and half of the people in the stands cheered.

Wood looked at the ecstatic expressions of his opponents and clenched his fists. He now regrets that he can't make a little more contribution to the team on offense. If his shooting is better...seize one of the three opportunities in overtime, I am afraid that you will not see the Italians now. Emoji.

He hates to see his opponent smile, he likes to see the person who opposes him cry best.

Shoot better! Better offense! I don't want to be a defensive midfielder! I don't want others to grasp the direction of the game! I want to take... Destiny in my own hands!

I want to be a real "Saint George"!

Mortensen didn't say a word for a long time, making people think he was dead. Alan Shearer shook his head helplessly. Dunn sighed. The first two are really sad for England to stop in the semi-finals, Dunn is only sorry for George Wood.

"Although... the semi-finals have completed their pre-World Cup goals. But after watching the last game to eliminate Spain, I believe all the English people are looking forward to more, but..." Mortensen finally recovered a bit of anger. "This is football. It is not based on our wishes. The boys in England are good... George Wood, 24, Alan Lennon, 23, Jack, 18 Wilshere, 19-year-old Jack Rodwell, 22-year-old Michael Richards, 21-year-old Walcott, 23-year-old Joe Hart, 20 Four-year-old Wayne Rooney, 25-year-old Ashley Young, 26-year-old Bentley, 26-year-old Stuart Downing... Look at these young people, I miss us You can still look forward to four years later."

In the three or four finals on the day before the final, George Wood continued to start, and his partner was replaced by Lampard.

In the three or four finals, England's opponent is Brazil's opponent in the group stage.

Losing the semi-finals did not affect Wood badly, or that he became more fighting spirit...

Capello handed over Kaka to him, and he faithfully performed the tactical requirements of the coach on the field. Don't let Kaka take the ball easily, don't give him room to start a breakthrough, don't let him pass the football easily, even if it takes a yellow card for a foul...it completely freezes the core of the Brazilian team.

The confrontation between George Wood and Kaka was very exciting and it became a beautiful scenery in the game. Neither party took advantage of each other, winning each other.

In the end, England's overall strength was not as good as Brazil, and two consecutive 120-minute matches exhausted all their physical energy. They lost 1:2 to Brazil and finally won the fourth place in this World Cup.

The final was played between Italy and Argentina, after ninety minutes of fierce fighting. The Argentine team relied on the two flashes of Messi and Aguero to defeat Italy 2:0. For the third time in history, he won the Hercules Cup. After this battle, Messi was named a god, and the media and fans have called him a new generation of kings. For a time, the name of "Mesidona" was called all over the world.

"2010 is the year of Messi! At the club, he wore the No. 10 shirt and led Barcelona to the league championship and the UEFA Champions League! In the national team, wearing the No. 10 shirt, he finally became the king of the world! We are fortunate enough. Witnessed the birth of a new generation of world champions in South Africa!"

In almost all such praise, only one person sang the opposite.

Out of the mentality of having to fight the whole world and disgusting the phenomenon that everyone blindly follows and sings hymns, Tony Dunn wrote in a column after the final: "I admit that Messi has won three championships. , But it is too early to say that he is the'new king'. Argentina can win the World Cup because they did not meet England. Barcelona can win the European Champions Cup because Nottingham Forest is not there!"

Some people ridiculed Dunn for "cannot eat grapes and say grapes are sour."

Dunn fought back that his team will return to the European arena next season, and he will let everyone know who is right and who is wrong.

"I don't mind if UEFA draws my team and Barcelona together, I can't even ask for it. Come on, ‘unspoken rules’ for me!"

Afterwards, he was fined 20,000 Euros by UEFA and was severely warned because of the remarks that might lead the public to believe that there was a black box operation inside UEFA.

The ties between him and Barcelona are getting bigger and bigger.

Lost money and reputation, and even more and more enemies with opponents. In the eyes of outsiders, Tony Dunn's idiot's behavior is simply unreasonable.

But Dunn thought he was just telling the truth...

If George Wood faces Messi, Messi only needs to pray that he will not be kicked off the field within 90 minutes, and do nothing else. As long as Dunn is still the head coach of the Forest team, he will definitely do so. Where did Italy lose? It was because the marking of Messi was too "civilized". It is a pity that Gattuso's condition declined too fast as he got older. If Gattuso is in his prime, it's hard to say what the result of this final will be... You know that in the game, Gattuso has obviously been unable to keep up with Messi's rhythm, and it is always easy to be taken by Messi. The speed is behind him, it is too late to foul.

The new king? Messi is far from the point where he can dominate everything. He still has a long way to go to be king.

At the very least, let my "Saint George" test your fineness. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
