10 Hustle and bustle before the Anglo-Argentine war
The Anglo-Argentine war, whether it is football or political, this game is doomed to be described in only four words - much-anticipated.
In the Falklands War in 1982, the Argentines were defeated. Since then, the confrontation between the Argentines and England on the battlefield has also demonstrated several peak duels between Argentina and England on the football field!
Leaving aside the fact that the Argentine national glory independent team defeated the mighty Liverpool dynasty in the Toyota Cup final, the two teams created many classics in the World Cup alone. In the 1986 World Cup, at the Aztec Stadium in Mexico, Maradona The first battle made the gods, and since then, the five players in a row and the hand of God have become the special labels of a generation of football kings.
In the 1998 World Cup, David Beckham, who was still a rookie in the national team at the time, untied the beam with Argentina's general Simeone... Until last year's World Cup qualifiers, David Beckham used a full moon scimitar After sending England directly to the World Cup finals, England fans put aside their prejudices against him.
It seems that every war between Britain and Afghanistan will cast some legends. In the war between Britain and Afghanistan in the previous life, Michael Owen's defense in Argentina was turned upside down. David Beckham's penalty kick helped him get revenge...
Of course, that was the Anglo-Arab war in the previous life!
"Can we defeat such a powerful Argentina?" This is the slogan given by the English media before the game. The terrifying Argentina defeated Nigeria 3-0 in the World Cup group stage, and they also wasted many times in the game. Great chance to score!
As for England, they were tied by their old rival Sweden, which led them to have to fight for victory in the game against Argentina in order to hold their destiny in their own hands.
Argentine media, "Ole" and "Clarion" all believe that this Argentine team has the ability to destroy England with offense! In particular, the emergence of the new captain Lionwell has made Argentina's offensive methods more diversified.
His outstanding set-piece ability will make any opponent dare not give Argentina a set-piece opportunity.
...
Speaking of the fourth match day of the World Cup, the Matador Legion proved their extraordinary strength by sweeping Slovenia. The Spaniard, who had never lost in the qualifiers, was also very popular for a while.
The Brazilians played on the fifth match day. After a hard fight, they repelled the Star and Moon Army Turkey. At this time, Brazil has not yet shown its champion appearance.
In fact, the Brazilians won the World Cup in 2002 thanks to China. It was the 4-0 Brazilians' morale that reached an unprecedented height. In that game, Brazil showed its champion appearance.
The Italian team also played on the fifth match day. With the four forwards, they defeated Ecuador in their first game.
The sixth match day of the World Cup is the appearance of three East Asian teams. The score of these 3 games is 2... well, it is really 2. China lost 0 to 2 to Costa Rica, and Japan drew 2 to 2. Belgium, South Korea defeated Poland 2-0...
The seventh match day of the World Cup was another day of upsets. The Portuguese was kicked 3-0 by the Americans in less than 30 minutes of the first half! Although the final score was 2 to 3, Portugal's upset this time also made people sigh for this World Cup.
At this time, there are only two days left before the Anglo-Afghan war.
This game between England and Argentina also has a hint of a life-and-death battle. The death group means that every point cannot be lost. Losing a point may mean that you are out.
...
The day before the Anglo-argentine War, Sapporo Hotel.
"It looks like the French can't win..." The Argentine players watched the defending champion France's game together.
At this time, the French team drew with Uruguay 0-0, and the French team's head striker Thierry Henry was sent off with a red card in the game...
"Everything has become terrible!" - "Agence France-Presse" said after the game.
The goddess of fate no longer favors France. The French team once hit the goalpost in the game against Uruguay. Counting their first game against Senegal, they hit the goalpost twice... The French are really not good at this World Cup Luckily.
"Okay, guys, go back and rest, it's our game tomorrow." After the game between France and Uruguay, Bielsa also drove the players back to his room.
"Hoo-!" England, the opponent.
Damn grouping! Doesn't this allow us to expose our strength early in the group stage?
As long as he sees the grouping of the South Korean team and the Japanese team, Bielsa feels extremely resentful here.
...
"Leon, good morning." The next day, at eleven o'clock in the morning, Leon, who was about to go to the restaurant for dinner, happened to meet Zanetti.
The captain of Inter Milan walked towards Leon with a smile: "How is it, can you rest last night?"
Leon nodded, "It's okay to sleep, but Camby likes to snore."
"Hahaha! By the way, Leon, I heard that Real Madrid is planning to recall Camby, right? What about you, what are your future plans?" Zanetti asked curiously.
"This...hasn't been decided yet. Let's see how the club and my agent discuss it after the World Cup." Why did Zanetti suddenly ask himself this question? In other words, why does Leon feel more and more that the way Zanetti looks at him is not right...
It's like a howling wolf looking at a fat little white rabbit.
"Well, Leon, don't blame me for talking too much. In fact, I think it is a bit difficult to continue to improve in Argentina with your current strength. You should come to Europe earlier to receive the most advanced football training. Here, you can Go further." Zanetti walked into the restaurant with Leon with a smile, and the two said while holding the food.
"I think so too." Leon replied.
After the two finished taking the food together, Zanetti continued: "Leon, have you ever thought about playing for a rich team?"
Sure enough, something is wrong! Why do you ask? At this time, Leon suddenly remembered that Mendes seemed to have told himself that among all the European giants chasing him, there are four clubs with the highest sincerity, namely Barcelona in La Liga, Inter Milan in Serie A, and Inter Milan in the Premier League. Arsenal also has AC Milan in Serie A!
Arsenal and AC Milan have just joined in, while Barcelona and Inter Milan have been chasing themselves, but Barcelona once thought of giving up their own ideas during the pursuit of themselves, but when they played in South America, Korea and Japan After achieving a very high level and winning the title of 'Golden Boy', the Catalans are determined to introduce their own ideas.
Of course, according to Mendes, Manchester United in the Premier League and Real Madrid in La Liga are all very interested in him...
Needless to say about Real Madrid, Leon of Manchester United knows that Kaka is probably the one Ferguson wants! Speaking of which, Ferguson's vision of seeing people is not much worse than Wenger's...
Beckham, Rooney, Van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo... Although you can say that these people were already famous before Manchester United became a superstar, there are many people who are famous in the world!
Why didn't Ferguson buy Quaresma, who was more popular in Portugal at the time, but Ronaldo instead?
It is precisely because Ferguson knows people! And he has his own way of training players. If he hadn't driven Cristiano Ronaldo back to his hometown in Portugal to reflect, how could he have achieved Ronaldo's future achievements?
As for the reason why Ferguson is interested in him, I am afraid it is because he can play the midfielder! Keane is old. Although he performed well in this World Cup, Keane is indeed old!
Ferguson needs someone who can succeed Keane.
But Keane can still play for a few years after all, so Ferguson's desire for himself is not so great.
So it seems that there is only one giant that has been chasing themselves and has never slowed down-Inter Milan!
Why did Zanetti ask himself that? Does it have anything to do with Inter Milan?
Leon's brain quickly had many thoughts, but he still looked at Zanetti and smiled: "Of course, it is every player's dream to play for a wealthy club."
Zanetti nodded, "Really? Well, you are right Leon. By the way, Leon, come to Italy if you have a chance. I will take you to the fashion capital, which is a beautiful city."
After Leon 'hmm', he concentrated on eating breakfast.
Because the game time between Argentina and England is at the prime time of 7:00 pm, so 11:00 can only be regarded as breakfast.
After breakfast with Zanetti, Leon brought a copy back to Camby who was still sleeping.
When parting with Zanetti, Zanetti suddenly patted Leon on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Leon, you must remember that when the team encounters difficulties, you as the captain must You have to stand up, sometimes, being the captain, don't be afraid of offending people, as long as you are for the victory and the future of the team, then everyone will understand you in the future."
Leon didn't know what Zanetti said to him. Did Zanetti think we would encounter difficulties today?
Leon shook his head, then pushed open the door of the hotel room...
Camby guy! Sure enough, he was still sleeping!
...
Before the Anglo-Argentine war, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Okay, guys, after the meal, we're about to leave. For this lunch, I specially arranged for the hotel chef to cook a lot of Argentine-style food! Tonight our opponent will be England. I think, I should Don't you need to mobilize?" The time soon came to four o'clock in the afternoon, but why did Bielsa arrange lunch so late?
Because the average athlete wants to sleep one or two hours after eating, it is reasonable to eat about three hours before the start of the game...
The Argentine players in the restaurant were full of fighting spirit, "Blow up the damn English!!!!"
Although the Falklands War has passed 20 years, it is still a national shame for the Argentines!
Defeated and surrendered... Argentine football has never happened before!
We won England in 1986, and we won England in 1998! Now, there are countless fans in China waiting for us to bring the victory back!
...
In another high-end hotel in Sapporo, Japan, the England team had finished their lunch and was ready to go.
This is a young England team, the 27-year-old Beckham is in full bloom, the young Gerrard has not yet performed in the Champions League, and the young Ashley Cole has not yet become the number one in the world Left back, young Hargreaves, young Michael Owen...
Of course, Eriksson also brought the experienced Scholes, Campbell...
In the words of the English media, this is an England full of vitality and experience. In the future, it will be difficult for you to see such an England.
In fact, Leon has been thinking about a question in his previous life. If Ronaldinho hadn't made Ronaldinho's anti-heavenly work back then, if England had reached the final all the way...
With the state of Michael Owen in that World Cup and the state of the entire England team, they really may win their second World Cup!
Just when the England team set off from the hotel, a large number of fans saw them off, many of them were Japanese female fans...
They shouted frantically: "David! David! David!"
This England team has the highest popularity!
Sitting on the England team bus, Beckham recalled the game four years ago, when he was a fledgling...
The Anglo-Argentine war is about to start!
