The post-match press conference was a breeze, England had finally completed the first stage of their World Cup, and the rest was the real World Cup final.

Only by coming here, it is not a failed World Cup for a world powerhouse.

Capello and Mackin sat relaxed behind their desks, answering reporters' questions.

"Mr Capello and Mark, I'm a Sky Sports journalist, first of all congratulations on your progress to the quarter-finals, what do you have to say about today's game?"

Capello smiled and looked very relaxed, he had already achieved the initial goal given to him by the FA, and he had a basic explanation, he held the microphone and said: "Ghana is a strong team"

Immediately, a group of reporters complained wildly in their hearts: What a fart!

'Rajevac's strategy worked well and caused us a lot of problems, but I told the lads to be patient and I'm glad they did it today'

'Joe Hart made a mistake today, will you change the goalkeeper again? I'm a reporter for Kicker."

Change the fart, do I have anything else I can change? Capello complained to himself, "I don't think it was a mistake, Joe Hart is still young, he will be our number one goalkeeper, I expect him to perform better"

"Mark, I'm from The Telegraph, are you happy with your performance today? Would you be disappointed that you didn't continue to score goals? ”

"Nothing to dislike," he replied with a smile, "we scored three goals and progressed, that's more important than anything else, and I don't set myself the kind of goal that you have to score or assist every game"

"Mr. Capello, your opponent in the round of eight is South American powerhouse Uruguay, are you confident of beating them and advancing to the last four again after 20 years with LinkedIn Glen?"

Capello replied directly: "Uruguay are a South American powerhouse, they have a lot of talent in the front, they are a very difficult opponent to play against, we have to give 120 per cent"

"But we come here and we give it our all in every game, and whether we can get to the last four depends on the result of the day's game."

"Mark, I'm from Marca, Florentino has come to South Africa in person, and it is said that he wants to discuss the transfer with you, will you really transfer to Real Madrid after the World Cup?"

Mackin frowned, looked very unhappy, and said in a bad tone: "This is the press conference of the England national team, I will not answer transfer questions, not during the World Cup"

The reporter of "Marca" touched his nose and sat down stupidly, and the reporter of "World Sports" snickered in his heart, secretly saying that he deserved it, and people had already said that they would not talk about this issue during the World Cup.

"Hello Mackqin, I'm a reporter from the domestic penguin network, and now many fans in China are looking forward to when you will be able to return to China, do you have any arrangements for this?"

"Hehe, thank you for the concern of the domestic fans", he replied with a smile, "I personally have no arrangements for this at present, and I don't know the club's itinerary at present, this year is a big tournament year, and the time is very tight, but if I really have the opportunity, I will definitely go back"

Due to the proximity of the stadium to England's stadium and the good mood to win, the two made an exception to answer some reporters' questions, and by the time they returned to the dressing room, it was already close to the early hours of the morning.

David Beckham had already informed the other players that they would have a holiday tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to allow them to reunite with their families, and now the dressing room is full of chaos.

"Okay, be quiet," Capello clapped his hands and began to lecture them with a rare smile on his face.

'I have to say that you have played well in the last three games and I am very satisfied, including today's.

"Whew", "oh yes", someone immediately coaxed, they were all young people, and they were still very bold when they played.

Capello smiled and pressed his hand, "You already know that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be a holiday, this is a reward for you"

"But I don't want to see you show up on my training ground two days from now, or you'll know the consequences."

"Don't worry, Boss", "That's right, who will have a short circuit in the head at this time", "That's it"

"That's good," Capello nodded, continuing.

"Actually, I want to say that the past games are behind us, we have come here, but the next games are another new beginning for us"

"In the next three days, no matter who wins, I believe it will be a strong team, the four opponents we have beaten are not weak, but they are not strong, which may give you some illusions"

"But I want you to forget about it, and in two days you'll be in South Africa and you'll have to start all over again, understand?"

The atmosphere in the dressing room slowly became serious, because they all knew what Capello was talking about, and for this country, every win they won after that was a new piece of history to remember.

"It's going to be a brand new journey, maybe we'll have to play one more game and go home, maybe we'll make it to the end, no one knows what's going to happen, but it's all going to depend on what you're going to do in the next two weeks!"

He patted Beckham on the shoulder, "David has participated in three World Cups, the best result is the top 8, some of you have played with David in 02 and 06, and some are first"

"After so many years, you have gathered together, the threshold of the top 4 is firmly blocked in front of you like a moat, and now, you have another chance, two days later, I want to see your attitude"

"Can you do it?" , his eyes were suddenly sharp.

"Yes", "Come on", the crowd shouted!

Capello nodded with satisfaction, this spirit has begun to slowly rise, it depends on victory, desire, step by step accumulation, and wait until the last moment, to reach the peak!

Then he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Get out, stinky boys, you are free now"

"Hooray, hooray......"

……

Early the next morning, major newspapers reported the results of yesterday's two 1/8 finals.

The Times: There is no danger, the new version of England is close to the last eight, except for that accident, we firmly grasped the initiative throughout the game.

The Telegraph: The MR duo turned into assist maniacs, each giving an assist last night, and England won by a big margin!

The Guardian: The strongest England has been born, and the configuration of each line is comparable to 66 years, Capello in the dressing room is the same!

Kicker: Yesterday the two quarter-finals were announced, and England's attacking firepower was terrifying, they scored 11 goals in 4 games!

"French football": England showed their champions, and the African black stars were helpless throughout the game.

As: Mark is to England what Zidane is to France and Xavi is to Spain.

Roma Sport: Mark is Andrea Pirlo of England, he determines the way the team plays, and at least fifteen years for his age!

Wilson and McManaman commented on the current state of England in their columns.

[Wilson's column]:

England got into the last eight, just like we did in the previous two World Cups, and now we're at that fateful juncture and will challenge it again.

But the focus of my talk today is not on that, but on Mark, and of course there is a lot of talk about him, and I would say that England at this World Cup is very similar to 1998.

What they have in common is that they have all ushered in their own future cores, Beckham in 1998, Mark in 2010, 12 years, exactly one reincarnation.

No matter what we do at this World Cup, Mark will be the core of England's banner for the next decade or so, and there is no doubt about that.

Whether he's the new Beckenbauer or Zinedine Zidane's successor, his most important identity is England's new 19-year-old core.

I think the only thing the fans have to do is be patient, don't put too much pressure on him, and pray that he stays healthy, because he is so important to England now!

[McManaman's Column]:

I've known Mark for a long time, long before he got a consistent start at the club, so much so that I always wondered if it was 3 or 30 years.

Mark's rise has been so fast, jaw-dropping, but to be honest, I was a little worried before the World Cup.

After all, there are too many superstars who have been silent about the World Cup, and it's a completely different event, and I think there are probably too many people who have some unrealistic expectations of him as a savior.

I'm worried that if he doesn't play as expected, he'll be crushed by a lot of pressure, after all, England fans are not Liverpool after all, they will be so tolerant of him, they just want to see results.

Fans around the world are expecting him to play at the same level of dominance as he did in the Champions League and the Premier League, and they don't consider him to be 19 years old.

But now that he and England have delivered absolutely satisfactory results, I think we can just open our voices and cheer for them with all our enthusiasm for the rest of the journey.

"Congratulations, Mark, next to our": Kuyt.

"Congratulations, we're going to be opponents, I'll tell my teammates and coaches everything I know, haha": Cáceres.

"Congratulations, Mark, I'm waiting for you to get your hands on our huge prize! , haha": Adidas, Batutista.

"Congratulations, Mark, I heard that you have been off for the past two days, I won't bother you, have fun with Issa, rest assured, off-the-field things won't reach your ears, haha": Jonathan.

"Congratulations, boy, you've already got a few of those guys you mentioned before, and a few of them can't, but you definitely don't have time to care about that right now, haha": Liverpool's chief scout Marko.

"Congratulations, Mark, well done, even Italy is spreading your name! Continue! Spalletti.

"Congratulations, Mark, you've just stunned me, I'll be there for both the semi-finals and the finals, come on!" : Pep Guardiola.

"Congratulations, Mark, I'm Mourinho": ×××.

"Congratulations, Mark, great, I'm going to work hard, I'm going to be the number one in the world this year!" , Wozniacki.

"Congratulations, brother, I had a good chat with you last time, but unfortunately I have important things to go back to deal with, I can't watch you play, I wish you the championship!" , LeBron James.

In the morning, the tinkling bell rings non-stop text message prompts, which are frantically sent from the mobile phone at the bedside.

Makqin yawned and sat up from the bed, Isabella's gray hair scattered around the pillow.

He casually picked up his mobile phone and flipped through the text messages, confused, these people were too early, but it is estimated that some people only knew the results from the news in the morning.

Everyone has their own things, how can they have time to play the same field as die-hard fans.

Fortunately, there is now a group reply function, and Mackin replied to his friends one by one, and as for the others, they all used group replies by group.

But Mourinho's text message surprised him a little, they really didn't have any contact and didn't leave a phone call before, and suddenly a congratulations came, which made people quite embarrassed.

It's just that he didn't know that Florentino went to Johannesburg in person today and made an appointment with Jonathan, which stirred up the real bloody storm and dwarfed all the previous transfer scandals......
