Young Football Player

Jackie Lee came to Wales to train with the assembled England team.

Jackie Lee may not be the biggest star in this England team, but he is definitely the most popular star at the moment. After all, he just led Schalke to win the Champions League, which is when the heat is at its highest.

As soon as Li Chenglong arrived at the training base, a large number of reporters came to interview him.

"Bruce, is your injury serious? Can you come back in time for the first group match?"

"Bruce, this is your first World Cup trip, are you confident to perform well?"

"Confidence to help England win the title, Bruce?"

...

The English reporters are still always peeing. As long as England participates in the competition, England must be the favorite to win the championship.

Fortunately, they are still a little conscious, only saying that they are one of the favourites, and they did not shyly say that England is the number one favorite to win the championship.

At present, England is in a stage of leaning, but the main core players are still those veterans, including Wayne Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard and so on.

When they were young, this group of players failed to help England achieve any outstanding results. Now that they are getting older and their status has declined, do you expect them to lead the team to win the championship?

Although there are legends in football that veterans are immortal, they are only a minority after all.

Most of the veterans were eventually shot to death on the beach by Houlang.

And this year England was unlucky and was placed in a death group.

In general, let alone winning the championship, England may have to struggle even to qualify for the group stage.

Foreign media's evaluation of England is more objective. They think that England's strength ranks around tenth, and it is basically impossible to compete for the championship.

In fact, what this ranking means is that England's ability to reach the quarter-finals is considered an overfulfillment of the task.

Checking into the training base, Gerrard, the captain of the team, led a group of teammates to welcome Li Chenglong.

"Welcome to our best player in the new UEFA Champions League final." Gerrard was the first to come up and hug Li Chenglong.

"Captain, are you reminding me that you are the first one?"

"Haha, I like dealing with smart people..."

The award for the best player in the UEFA Champions League final was selected only from the 2001 UEFA Champions League final, when Lion King Kahn became the first player to be elected.

After that, although the Premier League team won the Champions League three times, only the English native Gerrard was elected in 2005, and the other two were elected by players from other countries. starter

In 2008, the Dutch goalkeeper van der Sar was elected, and in 2012, Drogba, the first coach in Africa, was elected.

Therefore, Jackie Lee is the second English player to be elected as the best player in the Champions League final.

After meeting his teammates, the next step for Li Chenglong is to quickly integrate into the team and prepare for the World Cup.

Among England's 23-man World Cup roster, there are four forward players, namely Jackie Lee, Rooney, Welbeck and Sturridge.

And Hodgson prepared a 4231 formation for England. According to Hodgson's arrangement, Lee Chenglong was the lone striker, and Rooney, as the No. 10 midfielder, was still the core of the team's offense.

No way, that old guy Hodgson just likes Rooney.

After more than ten days of training with the team, on June 9th, the England team set off from London Airport,

Fly to Rio de Janeiro, the second largest city in Brazil, where the England team is based during the World Cup.

As a football kingdom, Brazil naturally has fans.

The England team arrived in Rio de Janeiro and was immediately welcomed by a large number of enthusiastic fans.

However, for safety reasons, Brazilian military police with live ammunition soon came to escort them.

The law and order in Brazil is not very good, especially in a big city like Rio, the personnel situation is quite complicated.

Under the escort of the military police, the England team entered the Royal Tulip Hotel, which was booked in advance.

The Royal Tulip Hotel has a great reputation and a good environment, but next door to this hotel is a slum with hundreds of thousands of people. I don’t know how the Football Football always chooses the hotel. Maybe it’s because of kickbacks.

In this World Cup, there are four teams that set their base camp in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to the host Brazil, there are also three European powerhouses, namely England, Italy and the Netherlands.

On the afternoon of June 12, the opening ceremony of the World Cup was held in Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, which also announced that the 2014 World Cup in Brazil officially began.

That night at the Sao Paulo Arena, the opening game of this World Cup also officially started, with the host Brazil facing the European powerhouse Croatia.

With Neymar's brace, Brazil reversed and won 3:1 and successfully won a good start.

It is worth mentioning that Marcelo became the first goal scorer in this World Cup, but what is more embarrassing is that he scored an own goal.

This is also the first time in the previous World Cup that the first goal was an own goal.

At this time, the England team has come to the northwest of Brazil, and will have its first match in the city of Manaus in the Amazon jungle. The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest Mobile terminal: https:/

At 8:00 p.m. on June 14th, at the Amazon Arena in Manaus, the strong battle between England and Italy officially started.

On the Italian side, Prandelli arranged a 4321 inverted Christmas tree formation,

Goalkeeper: Sirigu;

Defenders: Chiellini, Paletta, Barzagli, Matteo Damian;

Defenders: Verratti, De Rossi, Marchisio;

Avant-garde: Pirlo, Candreva;

Forward: Balotelli.

Italy's Wannian goalkeeper Buffon was absent from the game because he sprained his ankle during training, and Paris goalkeeper Siligu started.

England, on the other hand, has arranged a 4231 formation that has been trained for a long time.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;

Defenders: Leighton Bynes, Jagielka, Cahill, Glenn Johnson;

Defenders: Gerrard, Henderson;

Forwards: Sterling, Rooney, Welbeck;

Forward: Sturridge.

Li Chenglong sat on the bench temporarily due to a nose injury.

At least that's what everyone said to the media.

In fact, Li Chenglong's nose is basically good enough, and it is completely fine to play.

However, Jackie Lee felt that it was better for him to take a rest first, and let that old guy Hodgson try it out.

At present, the overall strength of England is not very good. Li Chenglong feels that his strength is definitely the most outstanding one in this England. In addition, he has led the team to win the Champions League to prove himself.

But Hodgson still blindly emphasized Rooney's core position, which made Jackie Lee very upset.

Since he was upset, and he happened to have an excuse for his nose injury, Li Chenglong took a rest first.

"In another match in the same group earlier, Costa Rica unexpectedly defeated Uruguay 3:1, which was a big upset."

"But this upset is good news for England. Uruguay, a competitor in the group qualifying, accidentally lost three points. England and Italy are more likely to qualify together."

"However, Bruce Lee's injury is still not healed, which may be a hidden danger..."

Among the comments of the England commentator, the game began.

After the first few minutes of probing, Italy began to take control of the situation on the field.

The Italian used his best counterattack and set kicks to easily destroy England's defense.

In the 30th minute, Italy passed a tactical corner kick and Marchisio scored from a long distance.

In the 42nd minute, Italy passed a cross from Candreva through a counterattack opportunity, and Balotelli scored with a header.

In this way, Italy led England 2-0 at halftime.
