Thinking of this, Lily Collins laughed and said to her father, "Dad, don't worry about my affairs. I'm 29 years old and know what I'm doing. ”

Phil Collins glared at his daughter and said, "Do you really know what you're doing?" ”

Lily Collins nodded, "Of course, I know very well. It's just that I'm nine years older than him, which is really nothing for a footballer. As far as I know, Shakira is 10 years older than Gerard Pique, aren't they also very happy? ”

Then she stood up, stretched, and said to Phil Collins, who was frowning, "I'm tired, I'll go rest first." ”

With that, she turned around and walked upstairs barefoot.

Phil Collins stood there in a bit of astonishment, not thinking of stopping his daughter.

In the midst of all the disturbances, the European Cup is getting closer and closer.

On June 7, the England team flew to the southern French city of Marseille to prepare for the first group stage of the European Championship to be played at 20 o'clock local time on June 11 in France.

Marseille is a port city located in the south of France on the Mediterranean Sea, and is the third largest city and the largest seaport in France after Paris and Lyon, after Paris and Lyon.

Surrounded on three sides by limestone hills, the city offers beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. Marseille is close to the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the water is deep and the port is wide, there are no rapids and shoals, and the 10,000-ton ship can be unimpeded; In the west, the Rhône and flat valleys are connected to Northern Europe, and the geographical location is unique.

As soon as they arrived in Marseille, the England squad began training at the training base they contacted.

Journalists and fans gathered outside the training ground noticed two things, one was the stuffed lion king lying on Smalling's trolley suitcase, and the other was that Rashford was not found on the training ground.

For the plush lion king, the "Daily Mirror" has revealed the secret a few days ago, this mascot is named Leo, and it is an important member of England's expedition.

The whole England team has the responsibility of looking after the mascot, and captain Wayne Rooney came up with the idea, and everyone has to take their turn. Experienced players also have a committee to decide who will take care of the mascot next.

In addition, if Leo is injured during the period, the player in charge of the care will be severely punished, so the player who is not in the turn can try to kidnap Leo in order to punish the person in charge of the care.

Only, why didn't Rashford show up at the training ground? Could it be that this is Hodgson's punishment for him?

The night before, Hodgson's embarrassed appearance, the reporters could see it clearly.

After training, a reporter asked the players he knew well, where is Rashford?

"Marcus is not very used to the climate in Marseille and came over with a cold......"

The players' answers were apparently requested by Hodgson, and everyone had to do so to prevent leaks.

Two hours after the end of training, the FA announced the squad for the opening match against Russia on its official website. In the eighteen-man squad, Hodgson wore almost all the main players, and only Rashford was not in the list.

The official website gives the following note after the list: "Rashford will miss the first game of the European Championship group stage against Russia due to a sudden cold. ”

………………

There were not many surprises to fans on the news of Marcus Rashford's illness, with the European Championship approaching and injuries starting to appear in the teams. Around the same time, Russia, England's first opponent at the European Championships, also suffered a major blow, with midfielder Igor Denisov suffering a thigh injury and withdrawing from the tournament.

The 32-year-old was expected to play a major role in the European Championships due to a key member of the Russian team, but he suffered a thigh injury in Russia's 1-1 draw with Serbia and was found out of the tournament after examination.

Russia have announced a replacement for Denisov, with midfielder Yusopov from Zenit coming in. In an interview with UEFA's official website, Yusopov revealed that he was on vacation in Monaco when he learned the news, and he did not bring his jersey and shoes, and he planned to fly back to Moscow urgently to pick up his equipment temporarily.

For example, Marcus Rashford, who only missed the game because of a sudden cold, is lucky, after all, he will not miss the European Championship completely. Maybe it's just a game, and he can come back.

However, Marcus Rashford's absence from England's first European Championship group game caused quite a stir, and even their opponents Russia felt it was good news.

Speaking before the game, Russian midfielder Denis Grushakov said: "With the loss of Marcus Rashford as a striker, England are undoubtedly the easiest opponents in this group. It's not that England are bad, they're good as a team, Marcus Rashford stands out and now he's injured and the situation is in our favour, we've drawn one and lost one of our last two games, so it's time to win. We're all mentally ready to fight, we're ready to kill them on the field or fight to the death. I think we're going to start this tournament with a win. ”

………………

Marcus Rashford's absence was not the only bad news for England, as another pre-match incident made England laugh.

Here's the thing, England assistant coach Levington was too careless, and accidentally exposed the tactical map while walking, which was photographed by the media. Tactical secrets such as Kane's partner Vardy and Rooney's retreat are all revealed to the world.

Wales boss Coleman, who was also preparing for the European Championships, was amused by England's mistake and put out one of the most terrifying line-ups on the training pitch with a show of humour.

Coleman was swaggering around on the training ground with a tactical board, could it be that it was a starting secret for the Welsh team?

But take a closer look, this lineup, the major giants of the European Cup have to be afraid of three points.

Goalkeeper: Banks

Defenders: Cafu, Beckenbauer, Bobby Moore, Robert Carlos

Midfielders: Zico, Socrates, Bobby Charlton, George Best

Forwards: Pele, Maradona

It turned out that Coleman had taunted England by drawing a bunch of legendary names on the tactical board.

Andy King, a player, said: "He's just trying to create a relaxed atmosphere for us. ”

Assistant coach Roberts also hurriedly played the round: "It's just a little joke, not for England, we know each other very well." ”

In this way, before the start of the European Championship, the two neighbors of England and Wales were on fire together, and another topic left for fans was whether the "Coleman team" at its peak would sweep the championship if it really came to play the European Cup...... I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
