Volume 4 Chapter 54 The smoke clears and the storm rises

Cape Town, Green Point Stadium, the Orange and White Army split the stands in two, the Netherlands and England, the land across the European continent, and now, they are fighting passionately across the green field!

This is the World Cup semi-finals, and this is the battle to the final that comes once in four years!

With 44 years of sinking on one side and 32 years of regret on the other, fate has sent these two teams here, and tonight, it will give one of them a chance again.

The orange fans cheered and drummed, the white fans boiled into the sky, and the dreamy ends of the earth are as their name suggests, blowing a surging and violent storm today!

"For pride and honor, fight, fight, fight, England forever!"

"Real men in orange, frightening orange, Holland, Holland!"

The stadium was already full, sending off the warm-up players, and now they are just waiting for the game to officially start, there is not a moment of silence, the confrontation of slogans, there is no pause.

Celebrities, stars, celebrities, at the moment at the Green Point Stadium, there is no shortage of the same, Prince William did not lose a game, and took Prince Harry to the VIP seat on time.

Charlize Theron, Ernie Els, and South African football baby Genevieve Morton, who was on fire during the World Cup, are also going to take Oscar Leonardo when they die.

Rolling Stone lead singer Mick Jagger, Miss Hilton, Black Mamba Kobe, Chen Xiaochun, Squidward, who was robbed of the limelight by Squidward, are all on the list!

Bobby Charlton and Cruyff sat on the VIP seat on the rostrum, although Cruyff said that he did not support the Dutch national team, but how could his country be easily parted, so he dragged his sick body to South Africa, just to support them to reach the final.

If they can reach the final, it will be the royal family, presidents, and prime minister-level political stars of various countries who will come to the scene to brush their faces.

"Which team can conquer the beautiful South African continent on the banks of the famous Cape of Good Hope, following in the footsteps of Dias more than 500 years ago, and crossing this dazzling green dot course to the finish line?" , Duan Xuan's voice sounded in the live broadcast as before.

Although it is already early in the morning in China, I believe that the vast majority of people will not miss the remaining two games, because they will witness the historical journey of a Chinese athlete.

Maybe it's greatness, maybe it's regrets, but what is indelible is that I've been here.

"Yes, Mackqin, President Ma, in the starting list announced in the morning, he will continue to sit in the main midfield without accident, and he will lead LinkedIn Gran to the chance of reaching the World Cup final again in 44 years", Duan Xuan's voice was calm with excitement and calm with anticipation.

Our unfinished dreams will be shown by him first!

In the studio of the Chongming Football Base, a group of children sat in a circle, and they all had loud nicknames, "Cheng Ying", "Ronaldo", "Maldini", "Gattuso", ......

An old man surnamed Xu pointed to the TV in a frustrated tone and taught earnestly: "Wait a minute, open my eyes and take a closer look, see how "Madane" plays, he is the same as you, and even the speed is not as fast as some of you, but people can play in the World Cup semi-finals, and they are the core of the top teams, what do you rely on, your brain ......"

For these teenagers, they also have the impression that they have seen the greatest star with their own eyes, that is, Zidane, because of the similar position, so Mackin has another nickname here.

The wind blows in the treetops, the scorching summer, and I don't know how many children have silently hung posters of Mack Qin playing football on their beds, and the Premier League, Champions League, and World Cup shine all over the world.

A healthy and sunny idol is worth a thousand words of advice and countless sticks, because he shows the light of hope and dreams in practice.

……

"Lads, nobody is optimistic about us, they think we played ugly, not Dutch at all, I would say F**K Off, it, did they give us the Hercules Cup? Are they the ones who give us medals? , no", Van Marwijk waved his arms excitedly, his sonorous words echoing in the locker room, his white hair raised without the wind.

"It's us, it's our feet, legs and unremitting running, 5 consecutive wins", he opened his palms, as if shaking the great achievements, "We are fighting back minute by minute, this is not anyone's charity, and it has nothing to do with gorgeousness, what is condensed in him is your sweat!" ”

"Cruyff is sitting outside", he raised his hand and pointed outside, "He doesn't like our football, but it doesn't matter, he's coming, dragging his sick body, not to see you become gorgeous, but to see you win, win, you know?" Go to the damn finals! ”

"Roar", the Dutch players were red-faced, enthusiastic, and roared, "Beat England and reach the damn final!" "For Cruyff, fight!" ”

"Give me every minute as a final, give me every inch of lawn as a battlefield, let those who look down on us see how tough we are, and let those who don't believe in us eat!"

β€œF**K Death!” "Let them see our colors!" The Orange Shirts stood up one after another, a rare unity and cohesion in their locker room this time.

"Keep our play, believe we can win, no matter where Mark goes, seal him up, entangle him, crush him! As long as the mark is limited, the scales will tip in our favor! Van Marwijk swept past the Dutch players one by one, his eyes sharp, "You guys, are you ready?" ”

"Go, fight!" , "Roar", the crowd was excited, he waved his big hand, "Let's go!" ”

The smoke is filled, the war is getting thicker, no one will retreat, no one will want to let it, the locker room in England is also full of blood, and the three armies are on standby!

It's a place where fire burns, and it's a wolf's longing!

Mack leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, his ears filled with the heavy breathing of his teammates and Capello's final confession, which had not involved tactics, which had been rehearsed a few days earlier.

All that's left is to fight to the death!

"The Netherlands is stronger than you think, don't be fooled by the flattering words outside", Capello said solemnly, "Strictly implement our predetermined tactics, steady, patient, and careful!" ”

'They were sharp on the counter-attack, the long passes on both sides were quick, and if I saw someone who didn't follow discipline and missed in defence, there were a lot of people on the bench who wanted to play!'

"Bobby Charlton is in the stands, Gascoigne is said to be here too, and fans across England are eager to crowd into this stadium of tens of thousands of people to watch you play"

"Glory! But the greater glory must come after you have won, otherwise it will only become a greater shame, yes, a shame, and the world will laugh at you for falling to the top 4 again."

"Think about what they would say, oh, poor England, their World Cup is destined to be full of tragedy! The top 4 is their Waterloo! He spread out his hands, "Isn't it a fire?" ”

Mackin felt that his teammates' breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and the locker room was getting hotter and hotter, and a heat was surging in his heart, and he only wanted to vent wantonly on the field.

"There is no sympathy in this world, and no one will spare time to glance at the defeated weak", Capello said more and more angry, as if substituting some kind of emotion, "The winner will enjoy everything, and the loser can only be in a dark corner, like a mouse, in a panic!" ”

"Answer me out loud, which one do you want to be?" , he suddenly yelled!

"Victory!" "Victory!" "Damn the winner! ”

"Departure", he waved his big hand, full of ambition!

……

The locker room doors on both sides of the aisle burst open, and the sounds in the stadium slammed into the eardrums like lightning, and the orange and white clothes looked at each other and flowed out.

Uzbek referee Ravshan, who had been waiting at the entrance of the passage for a long time, waved his hand to line up on both sides, and the referee team began to check the equipment of the players of the two teams one by one.

The players who knew each other looked at each other and smiled at each other, and quickly converged, Everton's Heitinga, Bayern's Van Bommel and Arjen Robben, Inter's Sneijder, Arsenal's Van Persie, and Liverpool's Kuyt, all old acquaintances.

But at this moment, all personal relationships have been left behind, and in this 90-minute or 120-minute battlefield, they are faced only with the enemy who will prevent them from entering the battle.

The referee's name "Ravshan" means "light" in Uzbekistan, and tonight, I don't know who will finally walk towards the light in orange or white!

Ralfchan checked with the two assistant referees, took one last look at his watch in the noisy aisle, and asked the captains on either side, Van Bommel and Gerrard, "Are you ready?" ”

The years fly by, the years are like songs, and the orange and white colors that appear at the entrance of the passage at this time evoke the memories of too many people, the glorious reappearance of Bobby Charlton, the unfulfilled ambition of Cruyff, and the tears of innocence of Gascoigne!

How much youth you have squandered here, how much glory you have gained, how many tears you have buried, how many stories will be written, and how many past you will have in the sand!

World Cup, World Cup, exclusive world and glory, generosity and song to write the Cup of God.

Only here, there is an epic, only here, it cannot be copied!

The beautiful seaside Green Dot Stadium instantly set off a higher decibel level, which is the unique heat of the World Cup, resounding in this coastal city, a historical site!

"England fans, England fans", Lineker's magnetic and passionate voice instantly spread to thousands of households, streets and bars, countless people guarded, and countless people stayed.

"The much-anticipated semi-finals, the first step of great England towards the God's Cup, is about to begin, the players from both sides have entered the field, and the entrance ceremony will begin immediately", with the words, the director directly cut out the starting lists on both sides, although most of them are already known.

Netherlands:

Goalkeeper: Stekelenburg

Defenders: Van Bronckhorst, Bolaruz, Heitinga, Mathiessen

Midfielders: Van Bommel, Sneijder, De Zeeu

Forwards: Robin van Persie, Kuyt, Robben

England:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Ashley Cole, John Terry, Carragher, Glen Johnson

Midfielders: Barry, Mackqin, Frank Lampard, Gerrard

Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Crouch

"England had a big head-up to the game, as the Dutch team's ferocious defender Frenkie de Jong has been confirmed unavailable for this game due to a minor injury, which will be a huge blow to their defence," Lineker enthused.

'The Netherlands have only conceded three goals in five games, De Jong has a lot to do, his sweep at the back line is crucial, and England will not be in trouble today'

"That's right", Wilson also agreed, "We have conceded a total of six goals, and we are really inferior to the Netherlands defensively, so today England will play in attack, and the absence of De Jong will gradually tilt the victory in our favor!" ”

Gascoigne sat in an inconspicuous corner of the VIP seat, looking at the Three Lions dressed in white, as if dreaming of the Italian summer, where there was his talent and his tears.

When he learned that England had reached the semi-finals, he couldn't help but come back after leaving the football circle to see if that dream of hope could become a fairy tale.

He is full of controversy and has a lot of bad habits, but he has never lacked truth and straightforwardness, and the deeper the world, the more normal people seem, and the simpler and more unsociable.

He had been to Gansu Tianma, although the process was a little bad and the impression left was not very good, he thought that people were going to play football with him, but he didn't know that people were for fame.

Is he too simple, or is the world too complicated?

But he can't avoid the fantastic teenager who has been frequently compared to him by the media recently, the same critical order, the same first World Cup, and the same highlight to send the top 4.

Familiar story, he was even 4 years younger than him, that year he was 23, and this year, he, 19.

I just don't know that he will be here like he is in Italy, leaving innocent tears and writing a story.

Still, the horse stepped on Jingo, and the company camp was broken......
