Chapter 0273: Undercurrents are surging
But what fans don't know is that the FA is really struggling right now.
England's performance at this tournament has been high-start: they reached the main stage of the European Championship with 10 wins in the qualifying stage, but in the group stage they performed very poorly, and were robbed of the top spot by Wales, also from the British Isles, in what was supposed to be a good group.
In fact, if it weren't for the bizarre format of this tournament, England, who had only won three draws in the group stage, would have gone home.
Under such circumstances, the FA is naturally facing huge pressure from public opinion. In particular, head coach Hodgson's very brainless arrangement has attracted too much criticism.
Someone must take the blame for England's poor record, and the ideal candidate is undoubtedly the head coach Hodgson, who has been at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion recently.
The FA bosses met urgently and decided on a new solution, but this solution was not made public, and even the national team coach Hodgson did not know about it.
The FA authorized the assistant coach of the England national team, former Manchester United legend Gary Neville, to have the right to make decisions on the spot, and in the case of Hodgson's insistence on going his own way, which really damaged the interests of the England national team, Gary Neville can override Hodgson and directly grab the command!
Of course, the FA still doesn't have the courage to change the manager now, and to be able to do this is a big step compared to the previous decay.
………………
The next day, before boarding the Bordeaux plane, Hodgson approached the FA team and asked for Rashford to be expelled, and he did not want Rashford's unrest to remain in the team.
Of course, the main thing is to ensure their own authority and make an example of the monkeys.
Unexpectedly, the FA team members unceremoniously rejected his request and stated that this was what the FA boss meant.
Hodgson was dumbfounded at this moment, he never imagined that the FA's support for Rashford would reach such an extent.
Hodgson felt extremely embarrassed, as a head coach, he went to great lengths to find trouble with a player, but in the end it didn't work, how could he be embarrassed, where did he put his face?
Along the way, Hodgson didn't have a good face, and his mood was worse than the sea conditions at the Cape of Good Hope.
However, Hodgson felt that his current situation was like that of an explorer sailing to the Cape of Good Hope, and that as long as he got through this difficult time, the beautiful and rich East was in front of him.
………………
Unlike Hodgson's bad mood, Rashford had a look of wonder on his face throughout the journey, and he didn't expect it to end like this.
The FA staff approached him, although they didn't say it explicitly, but they still told him very cryptically that the FA's support for him was beyond his imagination, and he didn't even need to worry about Hodgson putting small shoes on him at a critical time in the future.
Is this still the same stupid and rotten FA? When did these big men become so reasonable?
Well, let's just say that no one can resist the temptation of the champion, that's all.
Although his debut time was short, it was in this short period of time that he helped Manchester United win three championships. This, coupled with his supernatural performance against Germany, must have given the FA bureaucrats a major hint.
………………
In fact, even Rashford's national team teammates felt incredible, Rashford was unscathed after tearing his face with Hodgson, but Hodgson felt extremely embarrassed, which is unbelievable.
But that's fine, Rashford's ability is obvious to all, and if he can stay in the team, England will have hope.
Yesterday afternoon's match against Germany left a big shock on these England national team players.
At that time, they all felt that they were finished, waiting for the game to end and pack their bags and go home, but they didn't expect that at this critical moment, Rashford came on, he was like a god of war possessed, scoring twice in five minutes, and dragged the game into extra time; Then, less than five minutes into extra time, Germany was beaten again to turn the game around.
At the moment, they feel that as long as Rashford stays in the team, they retain a hope of continuing in the European Championships.
………………
The news of the infighting in the England national team is well known in world football.
If anyone is the happiest, there is no doubt that England will be the next opponent.
Although the match between Italy and Spain has not yet begun, both teams feel that as long as they defeat their opponents, it basically means that they will be guaranteed to the last four.
If a united England is a formidable opponent, then England, where the leading goalscorer and manager pinch each other, have nothing to worry about.
They all know that such a situation almost means that Marcus Rashford, England's biggest threat, has been scrapped.
If a player is at odds with the manager, is there any other possibility besides being banned?
If you simply compare hard power, Spain, which has entered a period of decline, is not as good as England, let alone Italy, whose talent has been withering in recent years.
But England, the favorite to win every major tournament, habitually drops the chain in the tournament, especially now that the conflicts within the England team are made public, as if they are about to split at any time, how can they not be happy?
That is, Spain and Italy have not yet come up with a result, otherwise the winner would be eager to award a pennant to Hodgson, who caused this situation.
………………
When England first arrived in Bordeaux, there was talk of England going home after the quarter-finals.
This argument is not without a market, and there are countless examples to prove it.
Which team of infighting ended up doing well?
The answer is no, absolutely not!
England's original tactical system was very criticized, known as a typical representative of a few blind kicks, playing weak teams to abuse vegetables casually, as soon as a strong team is exposed, and now there is infighting, where is there still combat effectiveness?
This kind of public opinion environment is completely different from the previous major tournaments, and it is quite interesting for the English players.
England have always had a big team, and they are the favorites to win every major tournament, coupled with the hype power of the English media, they may have begun to swell before they played.
But this time it is very different, not only is it not the favorite to win the championship, but it is even widely believed that England, which is infighting, will definitely not be able to pass the quarter-finals.
Because whether it is Spain or Italy, the strength is no worse than England.
Now that England is dying on their own, and the manager and leading goalscorer have become life-and-death rivals with you and without me, what hope is there for England? 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~
