Green Life

Volume 6 Chapter 39

A pair of twins (mascots) in red and yellow jerseys appear from the TV from time to time, with the event logo with the words "EURO2012", which is the hottest existence this summer.

With two games a day, the matches are in full swing, and fans all over the world have also stayed up for three nights or early in the morning. For domestic fans, perhaps today, their European Championships will officially start.

Because tonight, exactly at 12 o'clock in the morning, Mark Qin will make an appearance!

The hottest superstar on the planet, the youngest Mr. Ballon d'Or consecutive winner, the king of the World Cup in South Africa, will lead England to officially launch an impact on the European Cup.

Can he completely rewrite an era?

The Hutnik training ground in Krakow is surrounded by many media, and the mind is full of this question, maybe it is not a question, but an expectation!

A hundred years of anticipation, just like the anticipation of Gascoigne in the 1996 English European Cup, they are expecting the emergence of a hero to turn the tide and write a new legend!

The first game of the group stage is very important. It is related to the ranking of qualifying, and it is against France again, so Capello resorted to his old method: closed training.

No going out at night!

After the World Cup, the French team changed their coaches, and even replaced a large number of national team players to suppress the scandal of infighting in the World Cup in South Africa. Now their coach is the national legend Blanco.

That's right, it was the central defender who was in the same era as Zidane and loved to kiss the bald head of goalkeeper Barthez.

This game can be said to be a pre-rehearsed battle for the top spot in the group, because in terms of strength, Ukraine and Sweden are far behind these two teams.

Speaking of the war between Britain and France, the history can be described as having a long history.

It can even be said that it spans the history of football in the entire European continent, and it starts with the third FIFA president Rimit.

That's right, the Frenchman who founded the World Cup and finally named the World Cup trophy after him.

Jules Rimet!

In the early days, England, as the originator of modern football, could basically be said to be invincible all over Europe, seeking defeat alone.

In order to develop his country's football level, Remet, then the president of FIFA, advocated the English-French Football Invitational Tournament to be held every year. Basically, it was held every year in the middle and early stages of the last century.

Just like the previous China-Korea Invitational Tournament, the banner must be to learn from each other and make progress together.

But at that time, the level of the French team could not even be considered as that of England's opponents.

It wasn't until the 1980s and 1990s that the rise of Platini and Zidane really allowed French football to catch up with England, and there has even been a trend of catching up in recent years.

Afterwards, the two teams fought with each other, and both became an important force in European football, which can be regarded as fulfilling Rimet's original expectations.

Therefore, compared with the long-cherished wish of Britain and Germany involving the nation and history, Britain and France are the oldest duel in continental Europe. Moreover, it is a pure competition for a century without enmity.

If before South Africa, the English media still felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be surpassed by the French apprentice, then after the World Cup in South Africa, they were completely relieved.

There is a subtle feeling that your master is still your master.

This is why many foreign media claimed that Mark Qin was England's Zidane during his stay in South Africa, but the English media never mentioned this.

What a joke, wouldn't that admit that France's football status is higher than that of England? Beckenbauer is even more impossible, he can only be the successor of Charlton in England, the unique St. Mark!

If he helps England win the European Cup, he will be an unprecedented pioneer in England.

Football King of England!

That's right, your German emperor's own, our English emperor's own, has nothing to do with you.

The Times: Great War Between England and France,

It is about to be staged again, and it is time to tell France that the England you used to know and fear has returned!

Since England did not participate in the 2008 European Cup and France was out early in South Africa, the last battle between the two teams dates back to the Zidane era before the 2006 World Cup.

At that time, Zidane and Pires were very excited about being able to suppress England, and the French were probably as happy as the national football team finally catching up with South Korea.

It should be said that England did not live up to expectations at that time, because in the last three duels, they lost all of them.

Now, it's finally time for them to feel proud!

"French Football": We need to prove that France is still among the strong teams in European football, especially in the face of England, the glory that Zidane fought back in the era cannot be lost in this generation!

Celebrities like Zidane also came out to express their opinions one after another. Although he has a good relationship with Mark Qin, when it comes to his motherland, he has to stand aside.

"We once made England fear us. Blanco knows this. The boys need to get rid of the nightmare in South Africa. It's about our glory and dignity!", he said in an interview when talking about his views on the game .

"Limit Mark's performance, show our best form, unite as one, and give up selfishness, so that we can defeat England, which is now so powerful..."

At around 12:00 noon, England, which departed from Krakow, Poland in the morning, arrived in Donetsk, Ukraine on time. The bus prepared in advance for the European Cup took them from the airport to the hotel where they stayed.

"Oh... Mark...", "England...", "Kill the French team..."

When Mark Qin arrived at the hotel and got off the bus, the fans who had been waiting at the door immediately cheered enthusiastically. They held the flag of England and the crowd was passionate.

The weather is fine, the sun is shining brightly, and the summer in Ukraine is no different from the summer around us.

Mark Qin wore a cool white T-shirt, pulled the luggage, smiled and waved to these ubiquitous fans, and then stopped inside the cordon to sign autographs for them and accepted a brief interview.

"I'm not new to this place," he said with a smile. "I've been here when I played against Ukraine in the World Cup qualifiers, and when I was absent from work in the club against Donetsk."

"Have you already determined the starting tactics, can you predict the outcome of the game against France?", the reporter asked.

"You have to ask Capello about starting the game. The French team is a strong team, but we will go all out to win." After speaking, he followed the team and walked directly into the hotel gate.

In fact, last night, Capello announced the starting lineup at the team meeting. He fully absorbed the lessons of the World Cup in South Africa and did not dare to play stud two hours before the game.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Terry, Ferdinand, Glenn Johnson

Midfielders: Barry, Lampard, Maxine, Rooney, Gerrard

Center: Carroll

Except for Ferdinand and Carroll, the others are the absolute main players in the World Cup in South Africa. Facing France, Capello chose to seek stability, because these people are most familiar with Mark Qin.

But it is not without hidden worries. Six of the starters in this set are over 31 years old, and Lampard and Ferdinand are even 34. Their athletic ability and physical fitness have declined sharply.

So Capello once specifically talked to Mark Qin about this issue during the training camp, meaning that he should not bring the rhythm too fast, otherwise the veterans will probably fall apart.

Time is not forgiving, and Ma Keqin is also aware of this. He has slowly reached the peak, but these people are getting old, and the only thing left to rely on them is experience and a stable mentality.

That's why Capello brought Carroll at 22, Welbeck at 21, and Chamberlain at 19. He is looking for talents for the next generation of England's offensive line that can partner with Mark Qin.

Before these people are completely old!

Two hours before the game, many media finally got England's starting list.

"Oh, let Carroll, a young rookie who participated in the World Series for the first time, play center, and still start against France, I have to say Capello is very bold"

The live broadcast team sent by England this time is unprecedentedly strong. Lineker, Wilson, Alan Shearer, McManaman, if Peterson and Sky Sports hadn't had an anchor contract, they would probably have to come.

There are also two other sub-teams responsible for live broadcasting other games, and there are countless media reporters.

Apparently, the England government has once again started the idea of ​​football stimulating the economy. The benefits brought to them by the World Cup are still unfinished. Wouldn’t it be fun to have the European Cup again?

Wilson replied to Lineker and said: "Capello brought Carroll to let him replace Crouch. Our style of play needs a center to liberate Rooney and serve as a fulcrum for Mark."

"Carroll has performed very well in Newcastle this season and is also known as Shearer's successor. He has indeed shown a higher talent than Crouch"

Alan Shearer nodded when he heard it, and said: "This young man has the physical fitness required by a first-class center forward, and his speed is not slow. I have been paying attention to him."

"This competition is a good learning opportunity for him. If he can do a good job of supporting Rooney and Mark, I think it will be a great success for him."

At this time, Carol was full of great surprises and expectations, and stared blankly at the Bath Arena not far away.

It is also the home ground of Shakhtar Donetsk.

They have arrived!

"Hey, Andy, get out of the car," Maxine said with a smile as he patted him on the shoulder as he passed by his seat.

Seeing his stupid look, he must be looking forward to his first start in the European Cup. This big man, I hope he doesn't fail like he did in Liverpool in his previous life, Ma Keqin thought to himself.

"Ah? Oh! Hey", Carol scratched his head, and turned his eyes back from the beautiful stadium and the noisy crowd outside the car, "It's so beautiful, I was dumbfounded just now."

With a beautiful musical fountain, a blue façade full of technological dreams, and an infrared heating system, the home stadium built by the absentee boss of Donetsk at a cost of 320 million is of course beautiful.

Especially now that the sun is setting, the sky is getting dark, and all the lights are on, it is even more amazing.

But Ma Keqin knew that what surprised him even more was his opportunity this time. He had just become the absolute main force in the club, and then he became the main force of the national team smoothly!

You must know that this is the World Cup champion team, no matter how you look at it, it is the rhythm of a winner in life.

"Relax, let's go," Mark Qin said with a smile.

Like an old soldier, he exudes a kind of calmness that does not surprise him. When the door opened, the loud "boom" outside pierced his eardrums.

He put on the headset again, chewing gum in his mouth, and followed his teammates into the long player tunnel.

"Hurry up to the locker room to change equipment. We need to hurry up and warm up. The lawn here is relatively short, so we use short spikes." Gary Neville entered the working state with a data sheet while walking.

In this European Cup, Capello brought him to the assistant coach's team, just like South Africa took Beckham.

With the arrival of another bus, the first round of Group D, the battle between Britain and France, is about to start...
