Green Life

Three days passed in a flash, and the whole England team was preparing for the battle at the training base. Although the media fans outside were in full swing, Capello's closed policy ensured their inner peace.

In the past few days, they held 5 or 6 tactical meetings, large and small, all to study how to deal with their opponent in the semifinals: the Dutch team.

The pragmatic style of play made the Dutch team not have a particularly strong sense of presence in the eyes of the outside world. Most of the media are optimistic about England, which has a stronger offensive power, to win, but Capello is facing a formidable enemy.

This is the most serious and meticulous game he has prepared so far. It is definitely not that easy to play a defensive team, especially if the team is still powerful.

This season's Inter Milan has deeply confirmed this point. Barcelona has not lost a few games in a season, and finally fell to the feet of Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

Coincidentally, the style of play of the Netherlands is very similar to that of Inter Milan, and their core is Sneijder. Perhaps after fleeing from Real Madrid and spending a peak season at Inter Milan, he is full of confidence. Now in the Dutch team, he is actually the most Top scorer, 5 games have scored 4 goals and 2 assists.

The battle between the two core midfielders, Max Qin VS Sneijder, was staged for the second time.

In the year when Mark Qin became the god of the Champions League, Real Madrid lost a humiliating 1:6 to Liverpool at the Bernabeu. At that time, the winger was Sneijder.

After going to Inter Milan, the down-to-earth Sneijder was finally reborn in Mourinho's defense system, proving his No. 10 status in football.

He is Mourinho's favorite core type of midfielder. He is active in defense, has long passes and penetration, simple and not fancy style of play, and can shoot long shots from time to time.

Capello is an Italian anti-anti-counterfeit master. Of course, he knows how difficult it is to deal with a well-tuned anti-anti-anti team, and it is especially easy to make you careless.

So in the past few days, they have especially practiced to break the dense defense, and the full-backs are no longer allowed to press the assists indiscriminately, and they have specially practiced penalty kicks.

However, Mark Qin has no confidence in England's penalty kick level. The attribute of losing every point will not be reversed in a short time. At the latest, the winner must be determined in overtime.

On July 6th, South African time, the first semi-final, the Anglo-Dutch battle is imminent!

This morning, England and the Netherlands departed from their respective training bases and both arrived in Cape Town. Tonight, at the Green Point Stadium, who will finally get the final ticket will be known.

...

Peterson and McManaman began their pre-match analysis on Sky Sports,

Highlights of the two teams' promotions are being played on the big screen.

In the previous 5 games, England had 4 wins and 1 draw, while the Netherlands won all 5 games. England scored more goals than the Netherlands, but the Netherlands conceded fewer goals than England.

This is a game that is completely different from the matchup between England and the Netherlands in the impression of many fans. It is not yet known who will win the game.

"Without a game for four days, my brain is going to rust," Peterson exaggeratedly said, "Now my heart is like waiting for my mother to buy candy back when I was a child, and I am looking forward to tonight."

"It's very fitting," Meka recalled with a smile. "I still remember the grand occasion in the 90s, when I was 18 years old and Kenny (Dalglish) had just given me a professional contract."

"In Italy, Gaza (Gascoigne) was born, and we also successfully eliminated Cameroon and entered the top four. There was a 'Gaza fever' in England. Now 20 years have passed, and I have already sat In the commentary, but the scene in England at this time is like a repeat of the past.”

The director immediately cut to the extremely hot fans all over the UK, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool... Peterson let out a wow, and continued: "As far as we know, there has been an increase in the number of tourists from the UK to South Africa in recent days. Explosive growth, just like going to Italy back then.”

"I clearly remember Gascoigne's performance in that game. At that time, he was the British genius second only to Bobby Charlton. Now it is said that Messi is the strongest dribbler in football, but in my case In my eyes, Gaza was the strongest at that time, his dribbling and imaginative second pass..."

The same scene can always make some people with stories recall the past, as if the past is coming again!

"Goaaaaal..., Pratt, second pass from Gascoigne, we're in the quarterfinals..."

"Goaaaaal..., Lineker, penalty, penalty..., another second pass from Gascoigne, genius, absolute genius, this is completely his personal performance, we turned the tables and knocked out Cameroon!"

The roar of the commentator was accompanied by the replay of the historical screen of the director, and it was once again displayed in front of many fans. The real Gascoigne was famous in the summer of Italy in 1990. Just like Mark Qin now, he turned out to be Born, in full control of England's offense.

Although there are not many direct goals, his dribbling skills like South American players, excellent explosive power, and general imagination out of nothing really made England a midfielder!

His role is similar to that of Ronaldinho. Personal breakthroughs create opportunities, wonderful last passes, and go-betweens in the midfield. It can be said that without him in that World Cup, England would never have been able to break into the top four.

So much so that the whole of England loves Gascoigne, things are rare and so are people!

And now this scene is repeated in South Africa. Without Mark Qin, can England reach the top 4?

"Maybe not," McCarthy shook his head and said, "He is now the hottest superstar in England, and it's not an exaggeration to say 'Mark Fever', with 5 goals and 6 assists, which is a godly statistic, but I think Mark's greatest contribution Yes, he successfully activated the whole team, Rooney, Gerrard, Crouch all played the best performance since they participated in the World Cup."

"Just like Bobby Charlton in 1966, Garza in 1990, and Beckham in 1998," Peterson nodded.

After Gascoigne retired, what David Beckham failed to do, he did!

This is not an inheritance, but a fashionista of the times. In England, he is now, St. Mark!

"The game will start on time at 8:30 in the evening," Peterson continued. "Let's take a look at the interviews and reports of the reporters in front of the players of the two teams in the past two days..."

Then, one after another, the coaches and players of both sides appeared on the TV screen and began to talk about their views on this cup and this game.

Van Marwijk: Now the whole world is talking about England breaking into the top four after 20 years, but few people talk about us. We also entered the top four after 12 years. I don’t know why, but We are not jealous at all, which is good for us, we have less pressure, England is very attacking, but we are fully prepared to win.

Robben: A lot of people are criticizing us for playing defensively and counterattack. I don’t know what to criticize. In the past, everyone would praise us for how beautiful we played, but we have never won a world championship. I would rather ugly 1: 0 to win, and I don't want to lose the game gorgeously, the result is more important than anything else.

Van Persie: The predecessors of the Netherlands won two consecutive World Cup runner-ups in 1974 and 1978. They are talented. Now we have another chance to win the championship. Now we have to fight for them.

Louitt: Playing against Mark is always something that people don't want to face. England has three of my teammates, which is very interesting, but we are not afraid, because we believe that the current Netherlands is strong enough .

After the Dutch team members were interviewed, the camera turned and England's training base appeared again. Capello led the players to be interviewed.

Capello: The top 4 is indeed a proud achievement for us, but that has become a thing of the past. We need to forget it instead of indulging in celebration.

Now we are facing the last two games. It is very simple. If you win, you will fight for the championship. If you lose, you will fight for the third or fourth place. I think the fans are more willing to see which one, no need to say more.

Gerrard: When I was 10 years old, I was fortunate to see the great performances of the England predecessors. Now we also have the same opportunity to bring joy to England fans. We don't need to think about anything other than going all out.

Mark Qin: The Dutch team is a very strong team. It should be the strongest team we have encountered since the World Cup. They won 5 consecutive victories, which is not easy, but when you stand in this position, What do you think, only the World Cup, we're in the right shape, so come on, Holland!

Wayne Rooney: We have completed a great step for England. The morale of the whole team is high. Now it is time to face our next opponent. We are now extremely strong and fearless, so we will definitely continue to move forward tonight. Glory will always belong Great England!

"The pre-match interviews of both teams showed strong confidence." After the broadcast, Peterson restarted the conversation, "Now, what they are facing is a historic moment. Both teams have not played for decades. We've been to the final and whoever wins today will drive their fans completely crazy."

"Having said that," Peterson turned his head and asked, "Mika, what chance do you think England has of reaching the final today? The record of the two sides' last four main matches is completely tied. England has 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss."

"As long as you don't make mistakes, England has a high probability," McManaman said affirmatively. "The Netherlands is a typical defensive counterattack, and the defense is very fierce. You see, this Netherlands team will feel like Inter Milan."

"They will tear space on the wings and create opportunities for quick counter-attacks, but England's current control and attacking system will also be the strongest that the Dutch team has faced in this class."

"No one can replace the role of Mark, but to break the pressing defense, the best midfielder in the world today is Mark. He has proved this countless times in Liverpool, and there is no need to say more."

"I'm really looking forward to it," Peterson said, "Mark, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, can they accomplish what Gascoigne and Beckham failed to accomplish, and once again lead England into the The World Cup final, everything will be revealed tonight..."

"Hula! England", "Hula! We must win!", on the way to the hotel from Cape Town Airport, England's bus was crowded with fans holding England cheering scarves along the roadside.

Many fans from the eliminated countries left South Africa, but more fans from the semi-finals also poured into South Africa, so the excitement here has not diminished in the slightest.

They shouted fierce cheering slogans and held high the flag as if they were sending off soldiers to the battle. Football, in their eyes, is modern warfare, and it represents the glory of the country!

Not only the fans, but also more media from both sides. After preliminary calculations, if the two teams can successfully enter the World Cup finals and win the championship, it will bring about 0.1 to 0.3 points of contribution to the economic GDP growth of the two countries. , This is undoubtedly a timely help for the economies of the two countries that are deeply in financial crisis.

Don't be surprised, the amount of consumption generated by entertainment in the West is not what we can understand now, which is why we are now vigorously developing the entertainment industry.

In addition to the direct consumption made by fans due to the World Cup, the greater effect of winning the championship is to increase the confidence index of the consumption of the people of the two countries, thereby promoting economic growth. In Western countries, personal consumption has always accounted for the main proportion of GDP growth.

How wide your influence is is how high your status is. Ma Keqin got off the bus and walked into the hotel. The national team played in casual clothes, with an upside-down peaked cap, sunglasses trolley case, mountains and tsunami St. Mark...
