After the game, the entire England team returned to the hotel to rest.

However, before returning to the hotel, Fang Cheng received many congratulatory messages from people in the car.

"Boss, congratulations on advancing to the semi-finals of the European Cup with us. I hope you won't be drawn in the next draw."

Inter Milan's Barella was the first to send a congratulatory message.

Because they have already qualified for the European Cup, Inter Milan's Italian international players are watching the match between England and Ukraine tonight.

Fang Cheng smiled and sent a message to Barrera, "Who made us all reach the European Cup semi-finals together? If we are drawn together, please don't let me win."

Barrera smiled bitterly and sent a voice message saying: "Boss, stop joking. Who should let the game go? You are so good, how can we beat you?"

Fang Cheng was helpless. "Do you think football is played by one person? With your ability, did you rely on luck to get to the semi-finals of the European Cup?"

"Hahaha." Barrera laughed awkwardly. "There's nothing we can do about it. It's because you, the boss, eliminated us in the Champions League before. There's data to prove this."

Fang Cheng was almost speechless. "How can Arsenal's teammates compare with the players of this England team? Although they picked some of the most expensive players, there is hardly any coordination when they play."

Barrera thought about it and felt that this was the truth, but "It is true, but boss, you are too strong, we have to be cautious."

Fang Cheng sighed, "I have a feeling that when we meet you guys, your iron bucket formation will definitely make us suffer."

Barrera laughed. "There's nothing we can do about it. There's a huge gap in strength between our two teams, so we can only use an iron bucket formation to welcome you, boss. This is the essence of Italian football."

Fang Cheng smiled, and actually made the boy feel proud.

Later, other Inter Milan players also sent messages, and Fang Cheng replied one by one.

Saka was also nearby when he heard a message from an Italian international player from Inter Milan.

So he couldn't help but be a little curious and asked Fang Cheng: "Captain, what do you think is our chance of winning against the Italian team?"

Fang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "As long as you have a big heart and don't let down at the critical moment, I feel our chances of winning will not be small."

Saka couldn't help but wonder, "Can I be the key to winning? Shouldn't it depend on the captain? How will you perform then?"

Fang Cheng was speechless. Why did he feel like these people were always praising him too much? This was not a good sign.

"If you think you can win the game relying on me alone, then you shouldn't play during the game. Just stay on the bench and watch how I perform?" Fang Cheng said pretending to be serious.

Saka quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it. I would rather play hard on the court than on the bench."

Fang Cheng smiled and said, "Then don't tell me the key to winning anymore."

Saka scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and said nothing more.

Later, back at the hotel, former Arsenal player and current Manchester City striker Haaland also made a video call.

"Old captain, you are so awesome now. You can lead the England team to the semi-finals of the European Cup by yourself." Haaland gave a thumbs up on the other side of the video.

Fang Cheng sighed. Come on, here comes another person who praises him to death. "Then why don't you live up to your expectations? Lead your national team teammates to advance to the semi-finals of the European Cup?"

Haaland smiled and said, "Isn't it because I'm not that good to the old captain? It would be great if you could join our national team and play with me. Otherwise, we wouldn't be eliminated in the first round of the European Cup like we are now."

Saka was unhappy when he heard this. "My old teammate, what you said is wrong. Why didn't you say that you joined the England national team? That way we can play the European Cup together better."

Haaland chuckled on the other side of the video and said, "It sounds like this makes sense, but I'm sorry, I've already played for the national team. I can't go to your place anymore."

Saka also smiled. I didn't expect that Haaland was still so shameless.

How could he say such a thing?

If others knew that he wanted to join English football, it might cause a sensation throughout European football.

Then they took a break and chatted on the video call.

Time passed quickly, and on the next day, the draw ceremony for the European Cup semi-finals officially began in the evening.

That night, many fans around the world were watching the draw results at the same time.

England drew Denmark.
Then the Italian team drew the Spanish team.

This result caused a huge response immediately after it came out, and many people seemed to have predicted who the two teams in the final would be.

At the hotel where the England team was staying, the players gathered together to watch the draw ceremony.

“Oh, my god, it’s Denmark!”

Maguire slapped his thigh hard and felt that they had secured their place in the European Cup final.

Harry Kane couldn't help but touch his hair with joy. He felt that he might be about to win the first championship trophy in his career.

As a famous British star, he still doesn't have a decent championship trophy. It has to be said that he is under a lot of pressure.

When people think about the future, when they talk about England's all-time leading scorer, they all say "oh" at the same time, "I know who England's all-time leading scorer is. Isn't it Harry Kane? He has never won a decent championship trophy in his life. It is said that he can only score goals but has no help on the field."

"Really? Is there such a saying? It's a pity that I haven't seen Harry Kane play football with my own eyes, otherwise I really want to see if his goal will cause harm to his teammates."

Harry Kane thought that he might be judged like this by people in the future.

He felt uncomfortable all over.

He is not a goal-killer. Apart from him, no one else can be the most dazzling in the history of England's goals!
"Doesn't this draw guarantee us entry into the European Cup final? Hahaha." Tottenham player Terry couldn't help but open the champagne at this time.

"Don't be careless. I remember that many Danish players also play in the Premier League. They are also strong. Otherwise, how could they advance to the semi-finals of the European Cup?" Saka couldn't help but remind his teammates at this time.

"That's right." Rice nodded in agreement. "I remember that they created a Danish fairy tale in European football before. Their overall strength is definitely not worse than the worst team."

"Don't worry, I'm here, and I promise to let everyone enter the final of the European Cup." Harry Kane put down the water cup at this time and said the most pretentious words in a very calm voice.

When his voice came out, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

An unprecedented silence swept the entire venue.

However, Harry Kane is worthy of being a British star and his psychological quality is excellent.

He picked up the water cup calmly.

Then he took a sip, as if scoring a goal was as easy as drinking water.

At this time, Tottenham teammate Ali coughed. Seeing this embarrassing scene, he couldn't help but change the subject and said, "By the way, who do you think will advance to the final of the European Cup, Spain or Italy?"

"Need I say more? It must be the Spanish team!"

"That's right, our opponent in the final will definitely be Spain!"

England's two defensive generals, Terry and Maguire, both nodded with certainty, as if they had already seen the fierce match between them and the Spanish team in the final.

Fang Cheng, who was sitting nearby, was almost speechless.

To be honest, he didn't have any other ideas. He just hoped that these two people would not have any more problems in the match with Denmark.

There are many opinions about the match between England and Denmark.

Many London natives believed that England could easily win the game because they were on the right track under Southgate.

This year they will surely be able to keep such an important European football trophy in London.

The European Cup final will be held at Wembley Stadium.

However, on the second day after the draw, the England team received some bad news during training.

It is suspected that an important star was injured during training!
As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge impact.

Many football experts and fans started a heated discussion.

There was a lot of speculation about who was injured. Some said it was Sterling, some said it was Fang Cheng, and some said it was Saka and Harry Kane.

However, the first person to be ruled out was Sterling, because his house was robbed, and he immediately took leave and went home to take care of his family who were frightened by the thief.

Then, a reporter from The Sun secretly took pictures of Fang Cheng having difficulty moving when he went out.

At this moment, the fans of the England team felt like the sky was falling.

Who would have thought that at this most critical moment, the absolute core star Fang Cheng was actually injured during training.

After this fact was confirmed, many people felt that the outcome of the European Cup was instantly overshadowed, and no one had the confidence to predict who the champion would be.

Soon, many England fans made angry remarks online, denouncing who had injured Fang Cheng during training, which was simply a murder of British football.

First of all, head coach Southgate must be the first to take responsibility, because it was his lax management that caused the team to suffer such huge damage.

What if the England team loses to Denmark and misses the European Cup final because captain Fang Che is unable to play? They will not be able to cry even if they want to!
In this regard, Manchester United's famous Neves also came out to accept an interview with Sky Sports as soon as possible.
"If the England captain is really injured and misses the match against Denmark, I think we will lose control of the field. This is not a terrible statement, this is the fact. I don't think Southgate has any brilliant tactical arrangements. Our advancement to the semi-finals of the European Cup depends largely on the performance of the captain. Although some people will refute me, what I want to say is that if we take a look at the game data, we will know whether this is the case."

"I don't know who caused the captain to get injured during training. But I know that someone must take responsibility now!"

Soon, the England team announced that the captain was injured and might miss the match against Denmark.

After this news came out, the Danish team's head coach instantly felt a lot less pressure.

Originally it felt difficult to defeat the England team, which had the highest value and strength. However, he believed that without the core role of the captain, their opponents were just a group of players whose value was greater than their strength, and they looked scary, but in fact they could not cooperate at all.

Of course, except for Saka,
The Danish team still feels that Saka is more threatening in this regard.

Soon, it was game day.

Both sides of the game announced their starting lineups, and Fang Cheng, as the captain, has indeed gone to the bench.

Many fans suddenly wailed, feeling that they had a difficult day today.

However, as the team's most expensive player, Harry Kane felt that he had seen this script in advance!
His highlight moment may come tonight.

So, at Harry Kane's strong request, he and head coach Southgate attended the pre-match press conference together.

Facing the numerous cameras at the scene, Harry Kane's expression was very serious. He spoke to the reporters from all over the world in a leadership tone,
"Our only goal today is to advance to the European Cup final. We have been waiting for this day for a long time! Compared with players from other regions, our strength is not inferior at all! In fact, we are stronger. Tonight, we will prove our strength."

"Although our starting lineup has changed tonight, our other players can also play their due role. As I said, we are very strong, so we will not lack strong players. I know that many people think we will encounter many difficulties. However, I believe in the strength of my teammates. As long as we try our best, no difficulties can stop us."

"I will also lead the team to the European Cup final, and I believe the fans will always support us!"

Harry Kane faced the live camera with a very determined look.

Southgate was sitting nearby and was almost moved by Harry Kane's words.

As expected of a British star, these words are very responsible.

Just as he was about to burst into tears, Southgate was suddenly stunned again.

Because he came back to his senses from what Harry Kane said.

What do you mean they won’t lack capable players? After they lost their captain in the starting lineup, did the strength of tonight’s starting lineup decline?
Harry Kane doesn't think that it was he who led the team to the semi-finals of the European Cup with great difficulty, right?

No way?
Click, click, click?
The photographers at the scene kept clicking their shutters, capturing Harry Kane's determined expression in their cameras! (End of this chapter)
