July 8.

6:00 am.

Bang!

Lee Tong-Bum slammed the newspaper in his hand on the table.

On the front page of the latest edition of the Spanish Mundo Deportivo on June 8, the scene of three young men hugging a short-dressed and exposed blonde beauty drinking beer in a dim bar background was so dazzling, and the protagonists of the photo were none other than the Three Lions stars Walcott, Philip Neville and Richards...

"Three England stars indulge in pleasure in a bar, drunk and calling prostitutes all night!"

The Spanish newspaper used bright red GULIM font to add a bilingual title in Spanish and English to this scene, and the mockery and disdain came to the face.

In the room, the atmosphere was a bit dull because of Lee Tong-Bum's slam.

More than a dozen members of the Three Lions coaching team were there. Everyone held a newspaper with the same content in their hands, with different expressions. Everyone was summoned to the small meeting room of the hotel in the early morning. It was originally thought that it was a tactical discussion, but who knew that such a shocking newspaper was waiting for the coaches.

This is a big event, because Li Tongfan strictly set three rules on the first day he came to Salzburg, Austria:

No alcohol!

No sex!

No "disappearance" without permission!

Unexpectedly, less than a week later, someone dared to "go against the wind" unscrupulously. Isn't this a naked slap in the face of head coach Li Tongfan?

To put it more seriously, the 16 teams that have advanced to the European Cup are now gathered in Switzerland and Austria, which has become a place of attention in the world football. The behavior of Walcott and the other two has brought shame to the British football world, which can be compared with the unforgivable crime of "adultery and treason".

In the room, the expressions of the coaching staff were different and solemn.

Mad old man Venables seemed to be leisurely and indifferent, puffing Havana cigars, but if you look closely, you can find that the skinny hand of this sixty-year-old man holding the emerald green cigarette holder tightly is trembling with blue veins, and he is shaking with anger.

The reason why Venables agreed to Mad Li's request to come out and help this time is because he saw the possibility of England reaching the top of Europe, to make up for the regret of not being able to lead Shearer, Gascoigne and other geniuses to win the championship as the head coach of the national team.

But now such a scandal that shakes the morale of the army has occurred. Isn't this a knife in the heart of the old madman that beats for the honor of English football? If the head coach Li Tongfan hadn't spoken yet, Venables would have jumped up and rushed to the room of Walcott and the other two to have a good chat with those little guys about ideals and life.

Among the crowd, only the "famous acupuncture doctor" Ito Yun yawned three times out of boredom, then got up and went out of the room and rushed back to his room to catch up on sleep.

What happened last night had nothing to do with him. He also had no good feelings towards the arrogant and somewhat xenophobic Englishmen. In addition to fulfilling his duties as a team doctor to treat the injured, Ito Yun would not participate in any decision-making of the coaching staff.

…

July 8.

9:00 am.

Before the England team went to the Vals-Siezenheim Stadium for the last training session of the opening ceremony of the European Cup, Richards, Walcott and Philip Neville packed their bags and left Salzburg, Austria, becoming the last three unlucky guys to be eliminated from the big list.

Although after a detailed understanding of the incident, Lao Li found that the truth of the matter was not as reported by the Spanish reporter. In fact, the three unlucky guys with excess energy just sneaked out to soak in the bar for three hours, and the so-called prostitution was a lie made up by the Spanish media to crack down on the opponents in the same group. However, considering that the three did violate the "three rules", in order to serve as a warning to others, Li Tongfan unceremoniously killed the "three chickens" for the remaining 23 "monkeys" to see, and issued an expulsion order without mercy.

In this way, the list of the Third Legion has exactly 23 players left.

…

Li Tongfan's room.

After a day of training, Li Tongfan once again opened the Hummer GO-BOOK to run the FM2008 system, and observed the changes in the team's status reflected in the system at any time.

Since accepting the damned big-name system task [Glorious European Summit], Li Tongfan has developed the habit of opening FM2008 every day to observe and think, and carefully analyze and consider various favorable and unfavorable factors to increase the possibility of completing the task.

After all, the penalty for mission failure is too heavy, and his life is now hanging by a thread, in danger.

Loading the archive.

Li Tongfan immediately entered the England national team [Lineup List] interface, and was shocked after a glance, because almost every player in the 23-man list had a small green box in front of his name, and the word [Opinion] appeared in the box.

The players had [Opinions]?

This made Li Tongfan's heart like countless panicked deer, and instantly set off a wave.

Because according to the experience of previous game simulations, the simulated players in the FM2008 system will have "opinions" about the words and deeds of the head coach or opponents. And this so-called "opinion" can be good or bad, and will have a substantial impact on the player's own performance in the game -

For example, if a player has a positive [view], then the player's state will be greatly improved in the next game, and he will play above the original level. If the player's [view] is negative and dissatisfied, he will be sluggish in the game and fall short of his level.

Although there have been precedents of individual players having [views] in the FM system before, this is the first time that such a large-scale appearance has occurred. After Lao Li carefully spent half an hour clicking and watching the [views] content of all players, he finally figured out the reason for the qualifying phenomenon -

It turned out to be the aftermath of Walcott and the other two being fired.

However, what makes Li Tongfan feel a little relieved is that 18 of the 23 players' [opinions] belong to the positive category, and the main content is as follows:

"I strongly agree with the coach's decision to punish Walcott, Philip Neville and Richards, because they violated the team's regulations and caused a devastating impact on the reputation of the England team!"

Only 5 players expressed concerns about the dismissal of Walcott and others, and the main content is:

"After the dismissal of Richards and Philip Neville, the strength of the England team's defense line has dropped sharply, and I am worried about the team's promotion path!"

It is not a fierce opposition, and Lao Li feels a little relieved.

However, the problem is still inevitable, because although the starting point of these 5 players' [opinions] is for the England team, it is obvious that once their emotions are judged as negative [opinions] by the FM2008 system, they will definitely perform abnormally in the next game, which means that these 5 people will not be able to play in the first match of the Group D group match against Greece.

…

June 11.

The four teams in Group C, the top death group of this European Cup, started fighting.

0:00, the fifth game.

Location: Zurich Leizgrund Stadium.

Due to the absence of the team's top scorer Thierry Henry, the French team only forced a draw against the Romanian team, which played a 4-3-3 attacking formation, and very shamefully presented the first goalless game since the opening of this European Cup.

After the game, the French media questioned Domenech's tactics with the title "The Gallic Rooster is powerless, and the Scar Warrior is trapped in the yellow forest".

2:45, the sixth game.

Location: Berner Swiss Stadium.

The most anticipated focus match since the opening of this European Cup has finally started.

The uncrowned king of the Tulip Netherlands team vs. the 2006 World Cup champion Azzurri Italy team.

Before the game, due to the injuries of Robben and winger Babel, the Dutch team with broken wings was not favored by the public opinion, but the score after 90 minutes surprised everyone.

In the 26th minute, Van Nistelrooy once again showed his peerless style as the king of the small penalty area. In the small penalty area, he saw the long shot of his teammates on the periphery and blocked it into the goal behind the world's number one goalkeeper Buffon. Although this goal was suspected of offside, the referee on duty ruled that the goal was valid.

1:0!

In the 31st minute, the Dutch team played an Italian-style quick counterattack.

Van der Vaart passed the ball as sharp as a scissor in the backcourt and cut open the Azzurri's Van County. Van Bronckhorst received the football on the right side of the penalty area in the frontcourt and then made another long pass to find Kuyt on the left side of the penalty area. Kuyt didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground and headed back to the spot. Sneijder, who followed up in the middle and outflanked Buffon, shot the ball from almost zero angle...

2:0!

In the 79th minute, the Italian team, eager to equalize the score, suffered another heavy blow.

The Dutch team once again played a sharp Italian defensive counterattack. Defender Van Bronckhorst received a header from Kuyt's continuous cross and scored.

"...This is really unbelievable. Van Basten's team rewrote the history against the Italian team since the 1978 World Cup. Before the game, people thought it was a close match...The Italian team was used by the opponent. Their defensive counterattack collapsed and Donadoni was in big trouble..."

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Bernese Stadium in Switzerland plunged into a sea of ​​orange. More than 30,000 Dutch fans burst out with the most shocking cheers since the start of the 2008 European Cup. Tears of joy soaked the scene. Touching orange.

This game is destined to become a classic in the history of the European Cup.

The Netherlands relied on this unexpected big victory to top the group of death, while Italy ranked last.

…

June 12th.
