Godfather Of Champions

"Tonight is cloudy, with short showers, the temperature..."

On the TV screen, beautiful and **** weather forecasters are introducing the local weather conditions in Valencia during the game to the audience. After five days of intense heat, the temperature finally dropped, which is a good thing for fans who went to watch the game.

But the news made Spain's coach Hierro frowned slightly.

The cool weather naturally helps the players to play. But if it rains, it will affect the ground coordination in Spain...

Contrary to Hierro, if he can, Dunn would like to pretend to be a **** and beg for rain. For his England, the rain will not cause much impact, if possible, he hopes it will rain heavily. In the rain battle, England players have a natural advantage.

It is a pity that the sky in Valencia was shining brightly until dusk, and there was no sign of rain. It wasn't until the sun fell below the western horizon that a cloud layer floated from the east to cover half of the sky, and the edge of the cloud layer was plated with gold edges by the afterglow of the setting sun.

The coach of the England team departed from the hotel at this time. Those English fans who did not buy tickets gathered outside the hotel to see off their team. This game is very important to them. Although they will have to play two games in the semifinals regardless of whether they win or lose, no one wants to play three or four finals, right? Only one step away from success, it would be too tragic to fall to the finish line.

Seeing England's bus slowly driving out, the English fans waiting on both sides of the road became excited. The flashing lights showed the figures of the players waving to the fans on the car window, and the fans screamed and waved to represent England. St. George's Cross Flag.

"Champion! Champion! Champion!"

The England fans shouted uniformly.

In response, the players in the car stood up and waved to the fans. Dunn didn't do this, he was leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes to rest. In order to be able to keep a clear brain during the game, you need to rest well at this time.

Dunn has a talent for sleeping, that is, no matter how noisy outside, how much movement, as long as he sleeps deeply, he will not hear anything. If it weren't for this, he would have been nervously weakened by the coaching job.

When Dunn closed his eyes, the first thought in his mind was still Spain, which made him a little dumbfounded. Has conditioned reflex been formed?

Try not to think about Spain, then you can only think about other things. This time Dun En thought of his wife. Due to busy work, after dating Shania once in Barcelona, ​​the two never saw each other. Although he knows every game in England, Shania will definitely watch the game in the stands.

His biggest wish now is to lead England to win the European Cup, take his one-month vacation, and find a remote place with beautiful scenery but few people on vacation with Shania, and enjoy the world of the two.

In thinking of Shania, Dunn fell asleep. When he was awakened by Walker, the New Mestalla Stadium in the twilight could already be seen in the window on the right side of the bus.

"I know you don't want the players to see a head coach who fell asleep before the war." Walker said to him.

"Uh...Thank you, Dess." Dunn rubbed his eyes and wiped his face with both hands, so he was a little more energetic.

It took another twenty minutes from seeing the new Mestalla Stadium to the parking lot of the Mestalla Stadium. The fans were too enthusiastic. Although there were a large number of police officers on the scene to maintain order, the buses still had to pass carefully and slowly.

Close to the stadium, the fans can't attract the attention of the players with their enthusiastic cheers. Now their minds are on the upcoming game, and the expressions on their faces are somewhat serious.

When getting off the car, only a few veterans were able to calmly welcome them and the fans smiled and waved. Most people hurried past with their bags bowed. For this England team, many people have reached the semi-finals of the World Series for the first time. Today is definitely a day full of fresh experiences.

Since winning the Remit Gold Cup at home in 1966, the best result of this England team in the World Series is the semi-finals. In the 1996 European Championships held in China, England was eliminated in the semifinals by the German team who later won the championship and missed the final. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, England led by Capello eliminated Spain and reached the semi-finals, but lost to Italy. In the three or four finals, they lost to the Brazil team and did not complete a historic breakthrough.

Today, as long as they can defeat Spain, they will be able to do what countless predecessors have not done-reaching the finals of the World Series for the first time in 50 years! It is also the second time England has reached the final of the World Series since the establishment of the team.

With that said, England, known as the originator of modern football, has a pitiful record...

Dunn was the last to get out of the car. He was different from the nervous players. He was also interested in accepting a brief interview with BBC 5 at the entrance. The reporter asked with a red face whether he had the confidence to lead the team to the final. Dunn gave the answer that the Englishman most wanted to hear: "There is no doubt that we will enter the final."

In fact, earlier, when the Spanish team arrived on the stadium, Hierro said the same thing to the TV camera lens. When it comes to this, modesty is no longer useful.

George Wood tried a long shot. The football shot high and flew straight to the stands. This football is like a pebble thrown into the lake, rippled for a while, and can't be found again.

"We have limited football, George." Walker next to him said to him.

"Sorry……"

"I was kidding, ha!" Walker laughed. "how do you feel?"

"Very well, I feel..." Wood clenched his fist. "...I am full of power."

Walker nodded in satisfaction, not disturbing Wood's warm-up.

"Hey, look at them!" Before the assistant coach left, Joe Matock leaned forward and motioned to Wood to look at the Spanish team that was warming up across the court.

The Spaniard seems very relaxed, the head forward Boyan is even playing fancy ball. Several other midfielders formed a circle, making a quick pass. I have to say that from a technical point of view, the Spanish players are much better than the English...

"I think they are deliberately showing off to us!" Joe Matoke said angrily. "Why don't they just follow Maradona to the mineral water bottle?"

"What do you care about them so much?" Wood only glanced at it before taking his gaze back. Although only one glance, he also noticed that Fabregas was also watching him.

※※※

"Be careful of George Wood during the game." Fabregas retracted his gaze and said to Iniesta next to him. At the same time, he knocked the football from Silva with his heel to the puller behind him. Lago.

"I think you have to be careful of their team..." Iniesta laughed. "Mr. Dunn has combined this team into a whole. We can't take it lightly."

"Neither England nor George Wood are difficult to deal with." Fabregas said.

"agree."

In fact, Hierro has already warned the players to pay attention to several major players in England, including Gerrard, Wood, Rooney and Mitchell.

However, Spain will not change its tactics based on opponents. Their tradition is technical flow and offensive football. They never consider abandoning their traditions. Besides, the time of a game can't be adjusted. Hierro hopes that the players can take the initiative of the game in their own hands. From the first minute of the game to the last minute, use the team’s advantage in possession of the ball to lead England’s nose and let the English The advantage cannot be played out. After re-editing the game between England and France, Hierro showed it to the players twice. On the one hand, he wanted to make the players beware of England, and on the other hand, he wanted to let his players learn from England in the game against France. The performance-from start to finish, the stars shine, and the French team, which is considered the favorite to win, has no chance at all. In Hierro's words, "From the first second of the game, the French team was doomed to fail." He hopes that his team can do the same in today's game, so that England can't fight back and lose the game without any suspense.

"Technology is our advantage and we must make good use of it. Try to keep the ball underfoot. I don't want to see blind long passes and clearing. If the opponent has an advantage in the number of defenders in a small range, use fast Pass and cooperate to tear up their defense. When the action is fast, be fast, and when you control the ball, be steady..."

These are what Hierro repeatedly emphasized to them in the tactical meeting last night. Every Spanish player must keep in mind. This is the action outline during the game, and the specific actions must be based on this outline.

Since Spain came earlier than England, their warm-up ended earlier. While England is still warming up, the Spanish players have been walking down the field one after another.

Before leaving, Fabregas looked up at the sky, and the night had fallen completely. The afterglow of the setting sun in the western sky is no longer visible in the stadium. But this time is still early for the Spaniards—according to the rules of life of the Spaniards, at this time they should not have started to eat dinner.

In fact, if everything is done in accordance with the Spaniard’s schedule, most of the European Cup games will be played until midnight. However, due to television broadcast considerations, the game was all put to the afternoon and evening prime time kickoff.

The night sky couldn't tell whether it would rain, Fabregas quickly retracted his gaze and walked into the player's tunnel with his teammates.

※※※

"Did you say it will really rain like the weather forecast tonight?" After the Spaniard left, it was the turn of the English to start caring about the weather.

"Who knows?" The two players stood in the middle of the field and looked up at the sky, as if there were alien flying saucers on them.

Until a football focused their backs, the two came back to their senses.

"What are you looking at? Warm up!" Although Gerrard is no longer the captain of the team, he still has the authority of the captain in many cases. After all, he is a veteran and respected.

"See if the weather will rain..."

"What do you care about? It doesn't count if it rains or not. We don't actively warm up now, and be careful of injuries." Gerrard said to them.

The two shrugged: "Anyway, we are a substitute..."

"There are also opportunities to play on the bench. Warm up and go." Under Gerrard's gaze, the two players turned and ran to the area where they should be. After Gerrard finished his persuasion, he turned around and saw Wood looking at him, and he smiled at Wood.

In fact, not only the players are concerned about the weather, the coaching staff of both sides are also concerned about the weather. In order to better prepare for this game, the Spanish Meteorological Observatory provided a real-time weather report service for the Spanish team to help them defeat the powerful enemy England.

England is not so well treated. They are not fighting locally, and they do not have all the advantages the host has. England coaches can only guess from the weather whether it will rain. In addition, they have to endure the booing of the fans — in fact, England and Spain have nothing to hate. The naval battle five hundred years ago obviously did not affect the feelings of the fans of the two countries, and now the Spanish fans treat them like this. England, just because England is their enemy tonight.

Until the warm-up was over, there was no sign of rain in the sky, and the England team retreated into the locker room.

Dunn, who had been staying in the locker room, approached Walker and asked in a low voice whether it was raining outside. After getting a negative answer, he slapped his hands and raised his volume: "Okay, guys, don't think about the dog. It’s the weather today. Whether it rains or not will not affect us. Spain should be troubled by this. Now take your heart back, I ask you... Are you all ready to face the next game?"

He looked at all the players. In the eyes of these people, he saw firmness, hesitation, excitement, enthusiasm and excitement, as well as anxiety and anxiety...

Normally, this is what an ordinary person who faces a critical battle should perform. Dunn was relieved. The players did not show consistent paranoia, such as a rush of brain blood, or a panic of brain.

"Of course, Boss!" those with firm eyes were the first to answer loudly.

Dunn did not encourage them, but waved his hand: "Is it really ready? It depends on your performance on the court. I can tell. Is there any problem with tactics? Last chance."

No one asked questions.

"It looks like you all know what you should do. Well, don't mess with me when you get to the court. Now, guys, you are not facing one game, but two games. This may be you The two most important games in a player’s career-I'm not talking about the semifinals and the three or four finals."

His words amused many people.

"These are the two most important matches in your player's career. We can keep the whole of Europe under our feet if we keep winning. But if we lose... then all our previous efforts will be in vain and people will not remember You once kicked the Germans back to your hometown, and you will never remember that you ended your forty-eight years of invincible fate against Sweden, nor will you think that you once humiliated France with four goals. They will only remember that you are a loser! Just like you left. The French team, will anyone still mention that they were once known as the "favorites to win"? No! They will only laugh at the loser unscrupulously!"

Dunn raised the volume.

"Remember, guys. In the world of football, failure is shameful! Keep this sentence in mind, and then let me play!" (To be continued, if you want to know what happens, please visit www.qidian .com, more chapters, support authors, support genuine reading!)
