Volume 4 Chapter 51 Sword Finger, Hercules Cup
If teams like Brazil and Italy see England now, it is estimated that they will "cut" and say that it is really useless.
Isn't it the semifinals, isn't it the semifinals? Look, you're all like winning the championship.
Don't talk about England, even their opponent is not much better, the Dutch media are also crazy, they are slightly better than England, they have reached the final 2 and the semi-finals 3, but the last time they reached the semi-finals was 12 years ago.
This thing laughs at each other and can turn out their old bottoms, although the Netherlands is known as the uncrowned king, but they also won the 88 European Cup, they and England are half a catty, and they have relied on such a champion to support the façade for decades.
Spain, the other half of the region, looked at its own home, was silent and did not speak, ready to make a fortune in silence, and Argentina and Germany laughed silently.
"Kill the Netherlands!" "Reach the finals!" "Get the championship!" When the England crowd went around the stadium to thank the fans in the stands, the fans in the stands could not bear it, standing at a new starting point in history, they wanted more.
Reaching the semi-finals, there is no one who will not dream of being a champion!
Mack rubbed the shirt he had taken off, threw it into the stands again, and naturally suffered another round of coaxing, and the coaching staff quickly brought him the jacket, although it was not cold in South Africa, it was also winter.
5 games, 5 goals and 6 assists! Bringing LinkedIn Gran back to the top 4 after 20 years!
The whole media is like a chicken, waiting to interview him in the player interview area outside the entrance of the passage, what Messi, what Robben, what Torres, Villa, all stand aside.
Mark Qin zipped up his jacket and finally stood in front of the advertising background in the interview area, his head still wet and steaming, and he hung a sports towel around his neck to wipe it constantly.
These interviews are usually brief, with two or three questions answered, and the formal interview is held in the press room, after all, the players need to take precautions against catching a cold and go back to shower as soon as possible.
"Well, yes, I didn't care, there are always some extreme situations on the pitch, the game on the pitch is intense, the players are nervous, Suarez may have done it in the wrong way, but he is not a bad person, we chatted, cleared up some misunderstandings, I think we were OK between us", said with a smile.
"Why do you look at him the other way? This should be a very bad behavior for the average player", a reporter asked.
'I admire his fighting spirit and his style of play, he's an all-round striker and this game caused us quite a lot of problems and he's going to get better and better in the future......
"Semi-finals? Yes, we're going to meet Kuyt, it's an exciting time for us, because we're such close friends at the club, I guess he's already messaged me, and now we're already making history and we're not going to go the extra mile......"
After simply answering a few questions, he nodded and signaled to the reporter to go to the press conference, he was going to the locker room, and there were many people who greeted him along the way.
"Roar", as soon as Mak Qin pushed the door in, he was flooded by the water column of several sports drinks, and it was of course impossible for the England dressing room to prepare champagne at this time, but the players naturally had their own methods.
"MVP", "MVP", his teammates laughed and howled while surrounding him, this is not the NBA, but football events also have MVP, to put it bluntly, he is the best player in the game.
Steven Gerrard and he each won the Premier League MVP once in the previous two years, and Mackin was also the Champions League MVP and best midfielder in the year Liverpool won the Champions League.
Obviously, after this game, the whole team thought that he was sure to win the World Cup MVP, although Rooney was a little sour in his heart, but he was still very convinced.
"Poof", Mark Qin wiped his face and raised two big middle fingers with both hands, "Haha, it's cool, Gascoin was going crazy in the whole UK when they entered the semi-finals, what are we going to do when we go back?"
"I was only 4 years old at the time, and I can't remember what it was like at all......"
Teammates were joking and excitedly talking about how good they were to break into the top 4, Mark Qin shook his head secretly, to be honest, he was quite dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates at the beginning of the second half, carried away, frustrated and panicked, I hope their mentality can be more calm after this game.
The more pressure he went on, the more he could accept the loss, but he couldn't accept such a panicked performance, and then he made a mistake and handed over the victory.
Do what you want.
He stepped on the stool and greeted with his hands flat, "Be quiet, I'm going to say a few words, be quiet", and the joking teammate turned his head to look at him, stopping the joke and wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Guys, we've made it to the last four, is this the end for us? , I don't know what you guys think, we haven't mentioned specific goals in the team, but so far in the game, I just fucking want to touch the Hercules Cup, otherwise I won't be willing to die! He waved his hand and shouted.
"Holland, we are not afraid of them, there are only two games, 180 minutes, as long as we fight with all our might, I don't believe we don't have a chance, who doesn't want to win the championship!"
"That's right, we all thought", "That's it, who has never thought about winning the World Cup", someone immediately echoed.
"It's not just thinking, guys, it used to be a dream, it's now within our reach, and now we're going to give it our all, play our best every minute, take that damn Hercules Cup back, and make England crazy for us!" , he shouted.
"Cool, Mark is right, we're going to win the championship, who says we can't win the championship!" Carragher immediately shouted, "Win the championship!" "That's right, the World Cup! ”
"Win the championship!" "Wow, we're going to win the championship!" When Capello first arrived outside the door, he heard a noise of slogans in the locker room, he turned around and Beckham looked at each other in surprise, he didn't say this to these people, why, I'm afraid that the steps are too big and pull the eggs!
It seems that the players spontaneously, the momentum of these lads finally rose, he was secretly satisfied, and beckham signaled, without disturbing them.
After giving his teammates a shot, Mackin hurried to take a shower, and he still had to go to a press conference, and Beckham was waiting for him at the door when he came out.
"Let's go, the boss will go first, let you come out and go by yourself, and behave well, big star", he said with a smile and patted Mark Qin on the back.
The press conference room was already crowded, and when he entered, Capello turned his head to look at him, motioned for him to sit down, and continued to answer reporters' questions.
"Mark is here, let him answer for himself in a moment", Capello said with a smile, "I don't think we are much higher than Uruguay, if there is a slight change on the pitch, it could be us who will lose in the end, they are very dangerous in attack, they are very open-minded, they are a respectable team"
"Mark, Mark", the media turned the focus in an instant, the flashing lights were frequent, and the microphone was eager to reach into his mouth, "You played a fantastic performance today and led the team to the top 4, what do you want to say now"
"Ha, of course it's very cool, but it's Gerrard who leads the team, he's the captain", he blinked his eyes and said slyly, "As for my performance, I think I've just passed, and I'm lucky today."
"Wow", you just passed this performance? Pretending to be forced to be struck by lightning!
"I know what you think, I'm serious", he continued, "Uruguay didn't have a chance to win us today, and we played really bad in the first 10 minutes of the second half, we can't think 3-1 and sit back and relax, Uruguay gave us a slap in the face and they almost equalised"
"Mark, can I think you're saying this to your teammates?" , the reporter immediately became excited.
Capello frowned a little on the side, Makqin would not have said these things at the press conference before, and it was easy to create conflicts in the dressing room.
"No", he shook his head, "I am asking more for ourselves, after tomorrow night, there are only 4 teams that can stay in South Africa, all of them are top powerhouses, if we want to win the championship, we can't make the same mistake as today, because God will not give you a chance again and again"
Rumble! Big news! No one in England said that!
Capello smacked his lips and didn't interject, he thought in his heart that it was time, it had come to this point, what else to pretend, everyone tore up their clothes and ripped off their arms!
"Mark, you say your goal is to win the championship?" , The reporter asked excitedly, obediently, the media used to write it themselves, which is not the same as the news effect of the team itself.
"That's right, we all entered the top 4, if we don't win the championship, will we win the second and third place?" "We are now injury-free, we are in good shape, and our goal is to win the championship!" ”
"Our goal is to win the championship...... It's the ...... to win the championship", the reverberating sound and picture were transmitted to countless British fans through the live broadcast, they were stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed up.
"Roar", "Champion", "We're going to fucking win the championship!" ”
"St. Mark's ......", there was a complete riot at the press conference, especially the British media went crazy, and the fans outside, frantically shouting his new nickname!
Our goal is to win the championship, it's so direct, it's domineering!
So far, I haven't even been domineering at all, so what are you talking about winning the championship? He doesn't want to be complacent with a record of the top 4, he is not British at all, there is no such excitement that deposition erupts, only the champion can stir up the turmoil in his heart!
Netherlands? England is not afraid, Spain? What about Spain? What about history? Am I still changing my history? England has changed history so far!
What if you change it again?
He just wants to fight for Barcelona the same as when he went to Barcelona, the Netherlands, Spain, he wants to see if he can fight him upside down.
The media below took pictures of him frantically, Capello looked at him playfully, the boy is terrifying, and many stars who have been in football for more than ten years dare not say this.
Why, because there is no self-confidence, no vitality!
Having said that, so what? It is only good for the team, at this stage, there is pressure everywhere, and only this naked declaration can stimulate their blood and make them forget the pressure, so that they can play better.
So he didn't stop it, but secretly connived, otherwise he would have broken in in front of the locker room door to stop it, and this kind of goal, which the player said on his own behalf, is much more effective than the coach.
Because it means that it is a collective decision of the players!
In South Africa at the beginning of July, as England advanced to the top 4, Mackin lit a fire after the game, which not only burned to England's teammates, but also to their opponents, the Netherlands, Germany, Argentina, Spain, whoever it is, let it go!
It's a battle declaration of drawing a sword and shining a sword, life or death!
They have only one goal, and that is the Hercules Cup......
