Football Modifier

In the next half day, other big-name players who were selected for the national team came to the Brown Hotel to report one after another. Many of them were regular visitors to the national team, so they did not seem too excited. David Beckham, Li Tongfan, The appointed captain didn’t arrive until after three o’clock in the afternoon because of flight reasons!

To be honest, the moment Beckham heard that Li Tongfan became the coach of the Three Lions, he simply had the feeling of "turning the clouds to see the sun and turning the serfs into singing".

During McLaren's reign of the Three Lions, although he had a second career in Real Madrid, he was reduced to a marginal figure in the national team due to some ridiculous historical reasons. McLaren did not like Eriksen very much. The "favorite" of the era, David Beckham, is already a secret known to everyone in England!

This made Beckham a little discouraged despite his hard work... In addition, the England national team performed poorly in the 2008 European Cup qualifiers and their promotion prospects were worrying. Beckham once thought that his national team career was about to end. Full stop...

But now, "mentor" Madman Li has become the helmsman of the Three Lions, and on the first day of the inauguration press conference, he unequivocally announced that he would become the captain of the national team again. This means that this The main position of Tie Da is already vacant! Beckham, who has long admired Lao Li to the core, seems to have seen himself win the European Cup on behalf of the England national team...

It is no exaggeration to describe Beckham's mood with the poem "There is no way out after mountains and rivers, and there is another village after dark willows and flowers."

The lobby of the Brown Hotel!

"Hey, David, you came so late, I thought you were going to refuse my call..." The sultry man stood in the hotel lobby, looking at the heartthrob with big and small bags, smiling like a thief. : "How are you maintaining your condition? I didn't ask you to come here just to be a substitute!"

"Boss..." Beckham is still used to calling Li Tongfan this way, but when Lao Li mentioned the status issue, Beckham's charming eyebrows frowned together: "Recently... it's not going well!"

"No problem, hey, as long as I'm here, I'll come to you crying and shouting!" Li Tongfan gently patted Beckham on the shoulder!

Beckham's recent performance in Real Madrid is not as good as last season, which Lao Li has long known through the media. After he left, Beckham and the alien fat man were "returned to their original forms", so naturally they couldn't be as dazzling as last season! But when he returns to his three-acre piece of land, the Three Lions, Li Tongfan is absolutely confident that Beckham can once again show his demeanor as the "world's number one defensive midfielder"!

After all the players arrived, taking advantage of the cooler weather in the evening, the team went to Wembley Stadium for the first run-in training!

# # #

Wembley Stadium!

This was a simple group confrontation training. The players were divided into two teams for offense and defense. Li Tongfan stood on the side of the court with his arms folded on his chest and carefully observed each player. The specific training guidance was provided by the old madman Venable. Si!

"...Cooperate more with the people around you and pass the ball faster!!"

"Simple! Keep it simple, simple and direct, do you understand?"

"Great, Frank, you did a great job! Yes, that's it!"

"Ouch, shit!!! Wayne, your shot is too fucking shit. If I were Ferguson, you would be out of luck..."

Venables stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly. Once he stepped onto the football field, the old lunatic would become passionate and swear... As the most authoritative senior figure in England's football world, no matter how big the Three Lions star is, he will always treat the old man The lunatic respects him so much that Venables's curse words sounded to Rooney like the encouragement of a stern elder. After the little fat boy received a pass from Lampard and kicked the anti-aircraft gun, the old lunatic's scolding made his teammates laugh loudly. laugh……

Li Tongfan carefully observes every player's attitude in the game. For Lao Li, who holds FM2008, ability is not a problem. As long as a player has a serious enough attitude towards the game, Li Tongfan is willing to put him in the starting lineup!

Judging from current observations, England's big-name players are performing very well, especially Ferdinand, Manzianni, Sturridge and other newcomers, who are acting like crazy little wolves. They tried their best to win the appreciation of the coach, and under the guidance of the newcomers, the veteran players couldn't help but work hard!

The media and fans have already told them thousands of times what kind of person Crazy Lee is. Ever since he took office, he has not hesitated to get rid of John Terry, who has not yet secured his captaincy. Armband, you know that you are not a vegetarian, and no one is willing to be the "monkey" that was killed...

August 22nd!

After two consecutive days of rare sunny days, gray clouds began to appear over London again, but this did not stop England fans, who are known as the most fanatical, best-singing, best-shouting, best-scoring, and best-fighting fans in the world. Head to Wembley to cheer on the Three Lions!

Although the battle between England and Germany started at 19:00 in the afternoon, there were already fans waiting around Wembley Stadium from around 10 o'clock in the morning!

Around 11 o'clock in the morning, the visiting German team had one last training to adapt to the field. When the bus carrying the German players drove to the player's tunnel, thousands of shirtless English tough guys rushed around the bus, slapped the bus compartment, raised their white middle fingers with ferocious expressions, and sent the internationally accepted "family greetings" starting with F or S to the German players in the bus...

If it weren't for the stadium security's efforts to protect them, the German players would have been beaten into pig heads by the English tough guys before they got off the bus and entered the player's tunnel!

Such a scene is not exaggerated at all!

No matter when and where, in any battle between England and Germany in history, fans treat the opposing players as enemies. If they can suddenly give the enemy a hard time, no fan would mind doing so!

This is not the end. Even when the German team entered Wembley Stadium for training, the fanatical English fans also "organized and disciplined" to open their voices and transmit all kinds of insults to the opponent through air vibrations to the stadium!

At this moment, football brings back the war!

# # #

When the German team took the bus to Wembley Stadium again in the afternoon, three highway patrol cars led the way in front, and dozens of patrol motorcycles escorted them on both sides, just like the royal family of England on tour...

Due to the provocation of fans in the morning, the safety of the German team received special protection from the London Metropolitan Police!

18:00 in the afternoon!

Wembley Stadium officially entered the English orbit. Since it was just a friendly match, there were only a few German fans in the Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, only about 2,000 people, compressed in a corner of the southwest stand, like a small oasis in the desert, silently releasing the indomitable spirit of the Germans!

"…This is the first game since Mad Lee took office. English fans urgently need a hearty victory to wash away the shame of the McLaren era, but the situation is not very good. The opponent Germany seems to be more experienced in the past six months. They performed well in the European Cup qualifiers, and ranked first in the group with 7 wins in 7 games..." The famous "English traitor" and former BBC TV commentator Sester, who became the most unpopular football commentator in the British Isles because of cheering for Mad Lee and Real Madrid in the just-concluded Champions League final, was invited to comment on this game!

Speaking of Sester, his experience in the past few months has been quite tortuous. Because of what happened in the Champions League final, Sester received a dismissal letter from BBV TV before he returned to China from Athens, Greece. Because his obviously biased commentary in the final angered Arsenal fans, the Gunners fans held a one-day and one-night demonstration in front of the BBC radio building!

And because Sester "did not repent" in the face of reporters' interviews, and still insisted on cheering for Mad Lee, his "shameless behavior" made him elected as "England's most unpopular football commentator" in the Sun's questionnaire survey...

Because of the boycott of fans, Sester could not find a football commentary job that he was good at in more than 20 TV stations in London...

However, fate played a little joke on Sester. Just like Mad Lee created miracles on the court, his own fate was reversed miraculously in just half a month!

When Mad Lee became the head coach of the England national team, the public opinion in the British Isles suddenly turned 180 degrees. All media sang the praises of Mad Lee's greatness. Even Arsenal fans were willing to be "magnanimous" and stand in front of the camera to sing "Mad Lee's Song" twice. As a result, Sester turned from a "public enemy" to a "national hero" overnight. England fans have been asking Sester to come back to comment on the national team's games...

When the BBC TV station handed the letter of appointment to Sester again, the hot-tempered English uncle tore it to pieces without hesitation, and then threw the scraps of paper on the fat and flattering face of the TV station director, and joined the BBC's competitor - England National Television without looking back!

So, today, Sester, who was sitting in Wembley Stadium to comment on the national team's games, felt proud, and his new commentary partner was very famous - former Three Lions No. 1 center Lineker!

"What do you think of this game..." Sester turned to his partner and asked, "Gary, as the soul of the national team, can you comment on the two teams?"

Lineker smiled and shook his head: "The current situation of the England team is not very good. The decline of the McLaren era has continued to this day, while the German team has maintained an amazing state in recent international competitions. If nothing unexpected happens, the Germans will have a better chance..." Having said this, Lineker paused and quickly added, "Of course, as an Englishman, I hope to be able to go out on purpose. The biggest variable is Crazy Lee. If he can bring the coaching level of the club to the national team, then today may really make the fans leave Wembley Stadium with a smile..."

# # #

England team locker room!

"Listen to the cheers outside, the fans need a victory, and it must be a big victory..." The fans' cheers made people feel that the entire locker room was shaking. Li Tongfan looked at the stars with different expressions and said with a serious expression: "Not only the fans... you, but also me, everyone needs a hearty victory to defend their position... You know what this game means, don't let me down, otherwise... I will let you Even more disappointed!”

This is a naked threat!

But it does carry enough weight in Crazy Li’s mouth!

As the chief direct descendant of Crazy Lee, David Beckham was the first to respond to his boss's call: "Don't worry, boss, each of us has a heart of honor to pursue the championship, for the glory of England!!!"

"For the glory of England!!!" Manzianni and Sturridge shouted in unison!

The little fat man Wayne Rooney stood up, made a serious gesture of pumping his fist and swearing, and said seriously: "Looking at today's situation, I think it is necessary for me to score a hat trick in the game..."

"Then I will reluctantly give you three assists!" Downing, the winger from Middlesbrough, had an even more disgusting expression on his face! After a few days of contact, Li Tongfan discovered that this guy was also an arrogant maniac like Joe Hart!

But when the two hammers made trouble, the atmosphere suddenly became lively!

Lao Li nodded with satisfaction, then quickly walked to the tactical board, picked up the gouache and started writing the starting list!

Compared to the German team, which has announced its starting players one day in advance, the Three Lions' starting lineup has not yet been released. Speaking of which, this is also Crazy Li's habit. Generally speaking, you can only watch Crazy Li's games after the referee blows the opening whistle. , you can know the team’s starting lineup!

All the hammers are staring closely at the tactical board, especially Gareth Barry, Philips Neville, Anton Ferdinand and several other former national team fringe internationals and newly selected young players. This will determine their fate. A moment!

Germany's locker room!

Loew looked at his disciples calmly and emphasized the team's tactics again: "Crazy Li is an offensive madman. His offensive tactics look simple, but the effect is surprisingly good, so we need to When conducting defensive counterattacks, especially the England team’s wings, we must focus on it..."

Having said this, Loew looked at the two full-backs Lahm and Schultz and drew a line across the field on the tactical board: "Crazy Lee has recruited many fast wing players in this national team. , Philips and Schultz’s task is to limit England’s side cross tactics, and your range of activities in the first half cannot go beyond this line...”

"The opponent's penetration ability in the middle is not strong. This will be our opportunity. My requirements are: short pass on the ground, the ball should be released quickly, and play more behind the opponent's central defender..."

18:50!

When the referee Steven Taylor led the players from both sides slowly from the tunnel to the field lawn, the first wave of tsunami broke out at Wembley Stadium, raging like a hurricane from the distant Atlantic Ocean, and even the whole of London began to Tremble with the passion football brings!

Pa-pa-pa-pa~~~~~

More than 70,000 English fans began to stand up and cheer for the home team, while the efforts of less than 2,000 German fans were like a small barge in the stormy sea. They were quickly overturned and disappeared without a trace...

"The game is about to start. Players from both sides have already entered the stadium. The first thing to be heard in Wembley Stadium is the national anthem of the visiting team Germany..." Although it has been idle for more than a month, the famous mouthpiece Sester quickly entered The state: "The German team has a typical 442 formation. Miroslav Klose partners with Prince Bolti Luka Podolski in the forward line. Standing behind them are captain Ballack, Piggy Bastian Schweinsteiger, Bremen midfielder Frings and Stuttgart's Hitzelsberger. The four defenders are Philips Lahm, Metzelder, Merdesacker and Schur. tz, goalkeeper Tim Hildebrand... Loew has arranged the main lineup. It seems that the Germans also pay enough attention to this game..."

After Seist introduced the German team's facelift, Lineker introduced Lee's England lineup for the first time in a tacit understanding:

"Crazy Lee's formation was beyond everyone's expectations. He did not use his 4-1-2-1-2 two-wing tactics that Real Madrid has mastered, but changed it to 4-1-3- In the 1-1 single forward tactic, Rooney serves as the single arrow, Frank Lampard, David Beckham and Gareth Barry form the central axis of the England team, with Downing and Downing from Middlesbrough on the wings. Gerrard is the soul of the Red Army Liverpool team. From left to right on the back line are Ashley Cole, John Terry, Anton Ferdinand and Philips Neville. The goalkeeper is... oh, God, it's Joe Hart... "

While Lineker was still exclaiming, another burst of cheers came from the court, and the game officially began!

The away team Germany gained possession of the ball. Podolski knocked the football back to Ballack behind him. Then he and Klose turned around and rushed towards the England half. Because Rooney was pressing too hard, Ballack had no choice but to pass the ball back. , leave it to Flins behind you!

But Rooney did not give up and continued to press Frings like a crazy little tank. The midfielder from Bremen had to pass the football back. After three or four kicks, the football came to the feet of goalkeeper Hildebrand. The German team's plan to use the opening ball to play a fast break was ruined by the active fighting of the English players...

Hua Hua Hua~~~

I remembered the flood of applause from the stands!

"This is a good sign. The players are very active. It is completely different from the McLaren era. It seems that Madman Li has changed the mental outlook of the team in just a few days..." He has completely become a worshiper of Li Tongfan. The reporter's Cester flattered him at the right time: "Gary, what do you think?"

Lineker was still immersed in the shock that the 20-year-old rookie goalkeeper of the British Championship team Rochdale became the starting goalkeeper of the England national team: "It is indeed different from before, but hard work alone is not enough. Nowadays football is not a group of people. A reckless man's game... Joe Hart had only played one Premier League game for Manchester City before. Why did Crazy Li think he was better than Robinson or James? Crazy Li's changes were bold, but facing the German team? Opponents, veteran players with enough experience are the ones worthy of trust..."

"I don't think that's the case..." Cester immediately retorted after hearing this: "Young players are the future of England. This is just a friendly match. Only by playing against a strong team like Germany can the young players quickly Grow up..."

On the field!

In accordance with the requirements of coach Loew, the German team players mainly penetrated through the middle and played steadily. The two full-backs Lahm and Schultz, who are extremely capable of assisting, both stayed in their own half and focused on defense!

But the situation soon exceeded Loew's expectations!

After Crazy Lee cleverly chose 4-1-3-1-1, he not only did not give up his proud winger tactics, but also strengthened England's defense in the middle. Gareth Barry and David Beckham both The big defensive midfielder firmly blocked the German team's push tactics from the center!

At the same time, the recycling of Lahm and Schultz gave England wings Downing and Gerrard a large amount of space to start sprinting. Frequent crosses made the German team's penalty area agitated...

This formation is like a big crab, with a hard thick shell in the middle and sharp pincers on both sides!

What's even more cunning is that England's crosses are also very distinctive - all of them are forced to the ground!

Such a pass made Merdesacker and Metzelder, who had an obvious height advantage but a slightly slow pace, complain incessantly. The little fat Rooney made the two German big men suffer a lot with his flexible and coquettish running positions. If German midfielder Fries and Hitzelsberger return to the penalty area to support, the cross from the England wing will be knocked back outside the penalty area in an inverted triangle...

Lampard and Beckham lurking there are both super masters of long-range shots. In the first eight minutes of the game, the two had already obtained an ideal long-range shot opportunity. If Hildebrand hadn't blocked it and fought hard to resolve it, The virginity of the German team's goal has been breached...

Sideline!

Loew frowned and had to admit that Madman Li's refusal to announce the starting lineup had indeed caused trouble for the German team. The 4-1-3-1-1 tactic was also beyond Loew's expectations!

Loew carefully studied the characteristics of each player in Crazy Li's 26-man roster. He thought that in order to ensure victory in the first game of coaching the national team, Crazy Li would follow his unbeatable 4-1-2-1-2 in the Real Madrid era. But everything happening on the court now makes Loew understand that he underestimated this opponent who is younger than himself!

The reputation of the cunning Chinese as [God on the sidelines of football] is well-deserved! !

However, such a change can only show temporary power and is not kingly. As a well-known tactician in football, Loew quickly came up with countermeasures, but before he could direct the players to make changes, an accident happened on the court...

On the field!

After taking the ball, Frings once again hit the center as required by the head coach. He deflected the ball away from midfielder Gareth Barry and passed it straight to captain Ballack in front. Podolski and Klose met. This situation immediately pulled the England center back and started running into space, but unfortunately Ballack's through ball was intercepted by David Beckham, another England midfielder who was back in place...

At this moment, Crazy Li's role in arranging Barry and Beckham as a double midfielder came to light!

Beckham passed the football immediately after making the tackle. For the German team, this was a precise and fatal pass. They were on the offensive side just now, but in the blink of an eye they were counterattacked by England, hastily The sudden switch from offense to defense caused holes in the German team's defense...

Beckham's pass was like a pre-set program on a smart computer, directly passing through Merdesacker and Metzelder, Germany's last line of defense, but preventing goalkeeper Hildebrand from leaving the goal...

Rooney succeeded in countering offside, and faced Hildebrand with a brutal shot!

The football whizzed past Hildebrand's open arms like an angry cannonball and hit the net hard. The huge force and high-speed rotation even made Hildebrand hear a cry. The squeaking sound of human ears...

Then, Wembley Stadium erupted!

The whole of London trembled!

"...GOOOOOOOOOOOAL-GOAL~~~~~David Beckham's beautiful tackle and pass!!! Wayne Rooney's beautiful shot!!!! This is a fucking beautiful collaboration from beginning to end!! It was as cold as a bayonet... A fatal blow in an instant counterattack, the German team did not react at all..." Sester's roar represented the voice of all England fans: "In the 10th minute of the first half, Manchester United forward Rooney The shot helped us take the lead... This was a very clear tactical victory, and Madman Li's formation won..."

The camera quickly focused on the coaching bench as Sester explained. Crazy Lee with a smile on his face was giving a thumbs up to the players on the field. After scoring the goal, Rooney also ran over to high-five Lee Tong-bum to celebrate!

Every player in the England team knows who deserves the greatest credit for this goal. The boss's tactical arrangements before the game played a decisive role! Compared with McLaren, Crazy Li's tactical arrangements are obviously more targeted. At least the players will have clear goals when playing on the court! The tactical restraint made England's players feel at home on the field like never before!

In the face of Sest's demonstration cry, commentator partner Lineker smiled and praised: "Simple cooperation, efficient and practical scoring tactics, I have to admit that Crazy Lee taught his predecessor McLaren a lesson. A lesson for his rival Loew... Listen to the huge cheers from the Wembley stands and you know that the new Three Lions coach has won the hearts of all England fans in just ten minutes. …”

But Lineker quickly changed the subject: "But now is not the time to celebrate victory. Loew is also a master tactician. I believe the German team will soon get over their tactical mistakes... Terry and Anton Ferdinand The two central defenders do not have a tacit understanding, and there is a big gap between An Deng's strength and his brother Leo... What's even more fatal is that the 20-year-old goalkeeper Joe Hart is really not reassuring. If the German team's Coupled with the chance to get a shot, England will be in danger..."

The goalkeeper position is a pain in the hearts of all England fans. Ever since David Seaman retired, England has never seen an eye-catching goalkeeper. Perhaps this is why Crazy Lee recruited rookie Joe Hart!

But Sester obviously doesn't think so: "Loew is indeed very good in terms of tactics, but Crazy Lee is not bad either. I think Joe Hart is very good. Maybe he will surprise us?"
