Chapter 574 The European Cup, Here Comes! (Ask for a monthly pass, the 6th update!)

On May 5, the England team took a plane from London Heathrow Airport to Vienna, the capital of Austria, and then they will take a bus from Vienna to the small Austrian town of Innsbruck, where the first round of the group stage and the Spanish match venue are located.

Compared with the 5-man roster announced by Mourinho on May 23, this England team is a little different, that is, the striker Owen, also from Manchester United, entered the roster, and he replaced Hess base.

It can be said that Husky is definitely one of the unlucky ones. He will be troubled by injuries before every big competition. In an intra-team match at the Kearney training base, Husky was shoveled by Terry. After inspection, it will be confirmed Will not be able to participate in the European Cup. In this way, Owen became the lucky one. Mourinho chose Owen of Manchester United on the multiple-choice question of Owen or Defoe.

In this way, three of England's four shooters are from Manchester United, plus Hargreaves in the midfield, Ferdinand and Brown in the defense, and six of the European champions Manchester United have won the European Cup. , It's just that what makes Manchester United players regret is that Mourinho did not bring Scholes to Austria in the end.

***********
The England team that appeared at Vienna International Airport was enthusiastically sought after by the media. In Switzerland, the organizing committee is very worried. They are worried that England will miss the finals of the European Cup. You must know that the spending power of England fans can be counted in the whole of Europe. It is Russia, and the income that Russian fans can bring to the host country, including tourism, accommodation, and catering, is less than one-fifth of that of England fans.

After England won the finals of the European Cup with Li Rui's heroic performance, and was finally divided into Group D, the group stage matches will all be played in Austria. The organizing committee even opened champagne to celebrate. They believed that the England team would bring a huge flow of people and consumption to the host area, and drive a lot of industrial development.

***********
In addition, this England team is also star-studded, even in Austria, there is no shortage of their fans.

At the airport, the England team was enthusiastically sought after by the fans. When they saw Li Rui, Rooney, Owen, Lampard, Terry, and Beckham walking towards the bus that was parked outside, the fans cheered loudly many.

"Li Rui!!!"

"Wayne Rooney!!"

"Beckham!!"

Huge cheers, comparable to the spiral airflow of an airplane, but fortunately, these players are all big-name stars who have seen big scenes, and they are not surprised by such scenes.

From the cheers of the fans, it can be seen that among them, Li Rui and Beckham are the most popular, and the cheers received by the two are also the loudest.

The reporters also handed the microphones to their mouths one after another, wanting to hear their voices.

***********
"David, this time with England to participate in the European Cup again, how does it feel different from the 2004 Portuguese European Cup?"

Beckham seemed to be in good spirits. He smiled and replied, "Compared with 4 years ago, I feel that the team is stronger. So, this time, what we have to do is to go further."

As one of the most terrifying shooters in football, Li Rui is of course also the focus of attention. The media asked him a variety of questions, from his impression of Austria to who he likes to partner with, Rooney or Owen, and Li Rui Regarding the prediction of England's prospects for this European Cup, almost questions that could be asked popped out of the reporters' mouths.

However, Li Rui seemed a little more cautious and didn't talk nonsense. After all, the England team is not Manchester United. He is the offensive core and the third captain of the Manchester United team. However, in the England team, Li Rui's influence is much smaller. In the England team, in addition to Manchester United stars, there are also Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City. He is not familiar with these people yet.

"The England team is very strong, with top players in every position, and if the team plays well, I think we will be even stronger."

***********
Subsequently, the England team took the bus to Factorbrook.

England's first group match was against Spain on June 6, and the venue was in this town called Innsbruck.

Arriving at this small town deep in the Alps, Li Rui and the others first felt that this town was really fucking beautiful, maybe because it was located deep in the Alps, and except for summer, it was covered with ice and snow all year round, so , the whole town looked unusually clean and quiet.

In addition, Innsbruck still maintains the appearance of a medieval city, with row upon row of Gothic-style buildings on the narrow side streets.Baroque gates and Renaissance arcades show the style of the ancient city.

***********
Innsbruck is a famous ski resort. Perhaps because of this, the citizens of Innsbruck have a strong sports emotion. In addition to this European Cup, it also hosted the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics.

In addition, speaking of Innsbruck, Li Rui should have a little history here. In the summer of 2007, Li Rui once participated in a charity competition organized by the United Nations. The village raises funds, and the headquarters of the world's largest charity organization, SOS Children's Villages, is located in Innsbruck.

To the east and north of the Old Town of Innsbruck lies the New Town of Innsbruck.The hotel where Manchester United stayed is in the new district of Innsbruck.

***********
Just when the Manchester United team had just checked into the hotel in the new area of ​​Innsbruck, Basel, Switzerland, where the opening game of the current European Cup was held, also ushered in a special guest, and he was the Brazilian football king Pele.

Bailey was invited by his old friend and current UEFA President Michel Platini to go to Basel to support the opening game of the European Cup and the match between Switzerland and the Czech Republic.

The Pele king has not yet arrived in Basel, but the predictions about the current European Cup that he said out of his big mouth have spread in the sky of the European Cup like a plague.

Speaking of which, Pele's crow's mouth is really not covered. Every time before the World Series, he can't help but stand up and give pointers. However, unfortunately, any ball that Pele expresses serious concern Team, all resolutely did not end well.

If you put this in the stock market and invest in reverse, it is an absolutely strong bull stock!

***********
We might as well look back at Pele's 'brilliant past'.

1990 World Cup: Pele predicted that Brazil and Yugoslavia would be the favorites to win the championship. As a result, Brazil was eliminated by Argentina in the 1/8 finals, and then Yugoslavia was also eliminated by Argentina in the 1/4 finals. So far, Argentines always remember Pele's mouth Go to stay in Germany.

Before the European Cup in 1992, Pele suddenly fell in love with Yugoslavia again, and he was very optimistic that it would win the European Championship. He didn't want Yugoslavia to be suspended due to the civil war. The worst thing was that he was even disqualified from the competition. It was a surprise for Denmark who came off the bench Holding a cup.

1994 World Cup: Pele was fascinated by embroidery that year, so he also fell in love with Colombia, who played like embroidery, and even regarded Colombia as the only team that was optimistic about winning the championship; who knew that Colombia was not only eliminated from the group, but defender Esco Ba Huan was shot by perverted fans because of his own goal, and the crow's mouth said everyone was gone.

1996 European Cup: Pele was optimistic about Turkey and Italy, but both teams failed to qualify for the group stage; they died miserably.

1998 World Cup: Pele was optimistic about Spain that year. As a result, Spain went home after the group stage. It is said that the Spanish golden boy Raul almost cried bitterly and begged Pele to stay in Germany. The result was a tragedy. .

2002 World Cup: At that time, Pele may have already known his identity as a crow's mouth. When predicting the championship, he didn't mention his country's team Brazil. Instead, he praised France and Argentina. The two teams died early in the group stage, but Brazil finally won the championship, which made all Brazilians infinitely grateful to Pele for staying in Germany.

During the European Cup in Portugal in 2004, Pele also opened his mouth again. The Brazilian football king predicted the winner of the championship. He believed that the team that won the cup in the end, if nothing else, would be in the three countries of France, Italy and England. produce.In addition, Bailey said frankly that Spain and the Netherlands also have considerable strength to win the championship.At the same time, he believes that the Czech team, which has achieved eight wins, one draw and 23 total goals in the group stage, is likely to become a veritable "dark horse" in this European Cup despite being in the same group as Germany and the Netherlands.

As for whether the host Portugal can win the championship, Bailey believes that the key depends on how well Figo and Rui Costa play.As a result, in that European Cup, there was a Greek myth, and all the giants were defeated. As for Italy and Spain, neither of them made it out of the group stage...

2006 World Cup: In that year, Pele sent the Netherlands into the death group that already included Argentina, Côte d'Ivoire, and Serbia and Montenegro in the draw ceremony; he mentioned the names of Brazil and England when predicting the championship. As a result, the two teams Both died in the quarter-finals.

***********
Therefore, based on Pele's brilliant record, this time the Switzerland-Austria European Cup, some powerful giants hope that this crow mouth will not say the name of their team. Of course, in view of the opponent's bad luck, the principle of profit , They all hope that the name of the potential opponent to win the championship will come out of Bailey's mouth.

Amidst the expectations and curses of one kind or another, Pele's old football king has made a detailed and comprehensive prediction for this European Cup.

All of a sudden, the recruiters were in mourning, and those who were lucky enough not to be affected couldn't help but thank God.
