Volume 4 Chapter 33 I Will Always Be Me

That evening, Group D decided the final result as desired, with Ghana losing to Germany, but the two teams still qualified together.

England's opponents in the quarter-finals have been revealed, and the African "Black Star" Ghana team has advanced to the knockout stage of the second consecutive World Cup with a number of players who occupy the main positions in the top five leagues.

England will play their quarter-final at 8:30 p.m. local time on June 26 at the Bamferken Stadium in Rustenburg, where their first match will be played.

The Ghana team has many well-known stars, such as Chelsea's beast Essien, Inter's beast Montari, Udinese midfielder Asamoah, Marseille's Ayew, and Boateng, who just switched from Germany to Ghana before the World Cup, etc., it is these well-known stars that have made the Ghana team a star in Africa.

"South African Football News": As of tonight, nearly half of the round of 16 of the World Cup has been decided, and the dust has settled on the first four games, namely Uruguay vs South Korea, England vs Ghana, Argentina vs Mexico, Germany vs the United States, and the remaining top 8 will also be decided in the next two days, at that time, the South Africa World Cup will officially enter the knockout stage.

'It's a good result for us', Capello told The Times on his return to the training base, 'Banferken is not far from here, our first game was played here, it's great that we are back here, we didn't show our best here in that game, but then we found the form we have had over the past year, Ghana are a strong team in Africa, a very difficult opponent and a tight schedule, so we have to prepare for the ...... seriously'"

The Times: England's quarter-final opponents are out, Mark and Essien meet again, Champions League final, league title tie, World Cup, one attack and one defense, and they will face each other again in Bamferken in three days.

The Guardian: Ghana head coach Rajevac has claimed in an interview that he is not afraid of England and will do everything in his power to produce the best results of an African team at the World Cup.

Daily Mirror: Paraguay, Belgium, Denmark, Ecuador! Will Ghana be the next team to be eliminated by England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup?

Almost that night, the British media were full of predictions for England's last-16 tie, which was the first time the two sides met at the World Cup.

The Daily Telegraph reporters interviewed random England fans in South Africa, and the fans expressed their opinions on the outcome of this match.

"You know, the World Cup is just a few games, you can't meet a strong team too early, Ghana is a good opponent, we have advanced to the last eight in two consecutive World Cups, and this time will be no exception"

Even many England fans are already fantasizing and dreaming of England reaching the last four again after 20 years, "Uruguay, South Korea, Ghana, oh my god, this is simply the most wonderful half, we will have an advantage against any team, I think the semi-finals are already beckoning us!" ”

"Who do you think will be the key to leading LinkedIn Gran to victory in the knockout rounds, Wayne Rooney? Mark or someone else? ", the reporter asked again.

"Mark", "Mark", "Rooney", "Gerrard", for a while, the surrounding fans were full of opinions, but the mention of Mack Qin still accounted for most of the voice.

"Mark is so good in the group stage that he will definitely be targeted when he enters the knockout stage so that others will get their chances," said one of the logicists.

"No", another fan obviously disagreed, "No team can guard Mark, Mark will let them know what fear is, roar", this fan is obviously a fan of Mark Qin, and shouted excitedly towards the camera.

In the next two days, the remaining top 16 teams were released one after another, among which Italy's exit once again broke out of the shocking upset, and Mackin sent comfort messages to Denmark's Ager and Italy's Iaquinta respectively, because the two buddies in the Liverpool team were going home.

The players in the Liverpool team who can participate in the World Cup, except for England and Spain, are just these two buddies, and now they have left.

"I wish you all the best to go further, Mark, your performance is the same as the club, it's still so incredible", Ag called Mark back, "I read Beckenbauer's remarks yesterday, there are many people in our team talking about you, there are enough people who praise you, I won't participate haha, you are still young, don't be affected by the outside world, play well, but I believe you can do it, come on"

There was a warm current in Mackqin's heart, the two of them recorded a deep friendship in Liverpool, there is never a shortage of people who are icing on the cake in this world, but they will pour cold water on you when you are proud to calm down, and send charcoal in the snow when you are difficult, they must be true friends.

"Haha, Daniel, thank you for your concern, you understand me, I have never cared about this, maybe this is their trap, they want me to get carried away, haha, yes, you can have a good vacation, have a good time, okay, bye-bye", Mark Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head and hung up the phone.

In the past two days, he has indeed been on the cusp, Brazil's Pele and Argentina's Maradona have to brag in the media from time to time about who is their successor, but they say it too many times, and it is really not as valuable as the original, which has a lot to do with the agent behind the player.

Set up a successor title, and then send his players to the national team through connections during friendly matches to gild the gold, and immediately double the value, which is what many agents in South America do.

And those celebrities also need to use the relationship between the media and those agents with huge energy to take care of their retirement life, one for fame and one for profit, and hit it off.

Many celebrities in Europe who mix media also like to do this, but the real gods are already inextricably linked to the club and will no longer care about these petty profits.

So this is where the real weight of Beckenbauer's sentence lies, that is, because it is said less, it is more sensational and influential.

"Beckenbauer's successor", "the interpreter of free man in the new era", "the next football emperor", he has suddenly emerged in the past two days.

However, the relationship between Britain and Germany in the football world has always been tense, and the British media obviously did not buy this title very much, and directly started a confrontation with the German media.

"Joke, how can Mark be the new Beckenbauer in the Three Lions shirt, and say that he is the new Bobby Charlton, the new Martin Peter, or even the new Gascoigne, can't be Beckenbauer", this is a direct opening from the sports section of the London Journal!

Over there, "Kicker" immediately came back, "So you haven't been able to reach the Final Four for so many years, it's not for nothing, your understanding of football is simply superficial, can you find a player like Mark in your history?" Bobby Charlton is great indeed, but he's a striker."

The Times also quickly became involved in the war for the honor of the country, "It's not a free man, it's all from your German heritage, modern football originated in England, according to your reasoning, all football stars in the world are from England's heritage!" ”

"French Football" is gone, because Beckenbauer said in an interview that Mackin will be half Beckenbauer plus the whole Zidane in the future, who is Zidane? He led the French team to the World Cup for the first time and won the runner-up again, and even surpassed Platini.

No matter how good you Mack Qin is, you can't be half more than Zidane Beckenbauer, right?

"We have always respected Mr. Beckenbauer, but this time his words are obviously exaggerated, and it is also an insult to French football, Mark is very talented, but he is much worse than Zinane, Bobby Charlton, Beckenbauer, these great superstars who have entered the football hall, he still plays this World Cup well, let's talk about it, England, which has not entered the top 4 in 20 years, how can there be a new Zidane and Beckenbauer?"

As soon as this map cannon was fired, the media across the UK went completely crazy, "What qualifications does France, which is out of the group stage, have to be arrogant?" "What are these people doing when you're 19? Have you ever won a Golden Ball? How many records have been broken? How many goals have you scored in the World Cup and how many assists have you made? , Mark's debut has been around for less than 4 years, and he is about to take all the honors that others can't get in their lifetime! ”

The German media immediately replied: "Oh my God, our football emperor has set off a scuffle, or because of a young man representing England, there is nothing more comical than this"

Capello saw that the situation was not good, and immediately started closed training, and refused all media interviews, if England lost the 1/8 finals, Mackin would be killed by the media.

I've seen too much of him, I believe that the media has discipline, it's better to believe that the bustard can be good!

"He's only 19 years old, and as long as I'm England manager, I'm not going to bet all my bets on a 19-year-old, that's ridiculous," he said to the media in an interview the day before the quarter-finals.

Capello's tone is very bad, these media are too capable of finding trouble, when they don't perform well, they will find fault with you, pick the ones you think are going to cause chaos in the world, and when you behave well, you will blow it again, you don't know the southeast and northwest, except for disturbing the locker room, there is no practical use.

He even began to blame Beckenbauer in his heart, just talk about your German team honestly, what is it okay to provoke our young core? , not afraid that Britain and Germany will really meet, so let's fight psychological warfare in advance.

As a manager, he has never been stingy in pondering every move of the opposition lineup with the darkest mind, because Beckenbauer has never made similar remarks before.

His heart can be punished!

Beckenbauer was depressed, he didn't expect things to be so messy, as a senior, he just confessed his views on the future development of Mackin in the show.

Zidane was also depressed, in South Africa in the past two days, as long as he goes out, he will be blocked by the media to ask about this topic, on one side is the Mack Qin he admires, and he is also the target of Real Madrid's recruitment, and on the other side is the motherland France, it is simply difficult for the two women to be embarrassed, what can he say?

Mackin himself was depressed, why do you have to be involved with me when you talk about you? , what does this make him say? If you are modest, some people will say that he is not confident, and if you are proud, some people will scold him for disrespecting his predecessors.

Makqin just wants to give these guys a big middle finger!

Tomorrow is matchday, with the first 1/8 final between Uruguay vs South Korea at 2pm and their match against Ghana at 8:30pm, and he doesn't want to bring that public opinion to the game.

So he discussed it with Capello, and after obtaining his consent, he immediately wrote a reply on his social media about the matter: Mr. Beckenbauer and Mr. Zidane are both seniors that I respect and admire, we are still very good friends, and I am also very grateful for his praise for me, but I have said many times in previous interviews that I will always be the first Marken, and will not be anyone's second!

I will always be me, the best me!
