Volume 4 Chapter 17 The Wind Fills the Building
Early the next morning, Capello really didn't come to lead the team to train, and called Rooney to the office alone, as for what to say, you don't have to think about it.
Sure enough, not long after, Rooney went to the training ground under the leadership of Capello and officially apologized to the whole team, for his lack of calm yesterday, and specially said sorry to Gerrard and Macklin.
They have already talked about this last night, and when there is inevitably blood on the court, it may seem a little too small to care about this, and today is just a formality.
Capello's prestige still seems to be working, cutting through the mess quickly, giving Rooney steps as well as himself, and if the stiffness forces him to put Rooney on the bench, that's the beginning of all the nightmares.
In the following practice, Green and Ledley King put on the vests of the substitute team, and it was clear that their starting positions were gone.
There is no need to say hello, everyone is mentally prepared, and the news on the Internet now analyzes the England lineup, clearly pointing out that Capello relies on Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea, and he does not dare to easily move the main position.
As for Ledley King, who is from Tottenham, replacing the starter will not have a big impact, and he dares to replace Rooney as a starter, which is definitely condemned by the media and protested collectively in the dressing room.
It's just that he didn't decide whether the other defender who will partner with Terry will use Upson or Carragher, they each have their own advantages, and the strength is similar, and Carragher has more experience in the tournament.
But Cagraghera is 3 years older than Upson, and Capello is worried about whether his physical condition can keep up, their next opponent is Algeria, the weakest opponent in this group, and Capello still intends to adjust the team's form by taking advantage of this opportunity.
At noon, the whole team watched Algeria's 1-0 defeat to Slovenia in the conference room, which was both expected and invisibly added to the pressure.
"Guys, in the first round we lost the lead in the group and the second round is the game we are going to win anyway, think about it, if we can't win, what will those media and fans say about us, go home in the group stage? The most failed England class? ”
Capello turned off the TV and started the team meeting, "We played very strongly in qualifying, and if we go home in the group stage of the World Cup, all that awaits us will be a joke", he continued.
'For the next five days, I want you to really put your mind on the pitch and focus, I know some of you are tired, some of you are nervous, but a mature and great team can overcome that, this is the World Cup, not the league, it will give us the opportunity to adjust and make mistakes, it's all up to us if we want to go further'
Capello has always ruled the army with an iron bowl character, whether it is Milan or Real Madrid, it is the same, and the glorious history of the past has become his ladder.
There are pros and cons to this strong character, in the case of Jose Mourinho, his strength allows him to quickly integrate the mental outlook and fighting power of a team, but he also suffered a waterloo at Real Madrid and his second entry into Chelsea.
And now England, not to say rebellious, but also a little weak, when the qualifiers won consecutive victories, this problem was not obvious, but once encountering difficulties, England players who were not used to this kind of management before suddenly felt psychological.
……
In the following days, the World Cup went on as scheduled, and the world's strongest teams such as Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Brazil won one after another, without breaking the upset.
Just when the audience thought that this was a relatively normal World Cup, in the last game of the first round of the group stage, Spain lost 0:1 to Switzerland, finally making up for the regret of this World Cup.
Coincidentally, Spanish coach Bosque has also suffered an overall downturn in the form of his players, especially the Barcelona players, who have been playing until the Champions League final, and they are tired.
"It seems that it is not only England who have been affected by the season, but Spain as a whole have suffered from form problems, with 68 per cent of possession throughout the game, but the score was 0:1," said Peterson in a first-round review on Sky Sports.
McManaman nodded, "The strong teams that did not win in the first round were France, England, and Spain, and other strong teams won one after another, especially Germany, which defeated Australia 4-0, showing the good form of their youth army after the renewal."
"Although Germany has always been our mortal enemy, I have to say that their youth reform eight years ago has already begun to show results, look at this year's Muller, Mesut Ozil, Khedira, young, but they have already shined in their respective positions," said Peterson.
"Let's talk about our own team", McManaman said, "In two days' time, England will travel to the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town to face the second opponent of the group, Algeria, and the media has been full of speculation about this starting XI in the past few days, whether Green will continue to play, and the question of Ledley King"
"There may be different opinions within the team, and when Terry was interviewed today, he made it clear that there were doubts about Capello's management and employment within the team, so let's take a look at the report just sent back by the reporter in front of me"
At the England training base, during the team's routine external interview, Terry stood in front of the camera in a tracksuit and talked eloquently.
'We did discuss the first game internally and of course we all want to contribute to England because there are countless fans standing behind us waiting for us'
"Maybe we'll have a chance to talk to the boss before the game, we have kids and families, they've all come to South Africa, staying with them helps us to relieve the pressure, some of our new national team-mates, maybe haven't adapted to the World Series, we'll talk to the boss about how we can help them."
"Do you mean that the team is going to have an internal meeting and ask Capello collectively to ask?"
"Oh, it's not that serious, it's just that there are some problems that we have to solve together, after all, I used to be the captain and I should do my duty for England......"
"Who supports your proposal?"
'A lot of team-mates, Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Mark, we talked about it together......
Peterson looked at Terry on the screen and said in surprise to McManaman: "McKa, what do you think, is this England's collective forced palace?" After all, Capello's ban was really strict before, and it was stormy."
Maika shook his head vigorously and said incredulously: "I really didn't expect things to be like this, this is the interview that just came back, if Capello and the team fall into a confrontation, I can't imagine the result"
"F**K", FA President Bernstein immediately burst into foul language when he watched the show, Terry still thinks that there are not enough things in England now?
The major newspapers of the British media were published almost in seconds, and this news was updated in their Internet news section in an instant, and England fell into team infighting!
The Times: The team is dissatisfied with Capello's management and employment and will be forced en masse!
The Guardian: Where does England go from here?
Sky Sports: The FA must step up and settle the situation as soon as possible!
This night, it was a chicken and a dog, Terry just thought that he had been interviewed, brushed his sense of existence, and was able to make a friend's wife, don't overestimate his emotional intelligence.
When he and the England team went to bed on time, there was a complete uproar on the Internet and in the media!
The FA immediately convened a high-level meeting overnight to discuss how to deal with the public relations crisis of the English team, otherwise the national team will be ruined.
Capello was called up overnight, and he started a video conference with the FA remotely, and he knew that he would have the heart to strangle Terry in the future, but the crux of the question is, is what he said true?
It's critical and cumbersome, like the prisoner's dilemma.
He couldn't just ask the others, eh, is what Terry said true? If so, will they tell the truth? If not, but just in case.
The FA, who discussed the countermeasures overnight, agreed with Capello on a solution that was not a solution, the FA fully supported Capello, and as for the other players whose names were mentioned by Terry, it was up to them to express their stance to the media, and no matter how they were handled, the FA fully supported him.
This is not the way to go, and this basket Terry is not big enough, because he has planted a seed of mutual suspicion within the team.
"We fully support Mr Capello and all the decisions he makes about the English team," said the FA at 7am, calling the media for a press conference.
'There's no basis for what Terry said, we haven't heard of any problems within the team, David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Mark, none of them have said it, I don't know why Terry thinks that way or if it's just his own idea and we'll figure it out......
Mark Qin got up early in the morning and was confused by the busy training base, what happened? And the atmosphere of the restaurant is so eerie!
"Watch the news," Gerard whispered to him as he ate his breakfast.
The second monk of Mark Qinzhang took out his mobile phone in confusion, opened the news software, and after looking at it for a while, another sentence of MMP came out in his heart.
This Nima is a group mockery skill!
He turned his head and looked, "Don't look for it, Terry was called by the coaching staff early in the morning," Gerrard said.
"And what did the coaching staff say?" , Makqin asked.
"Eat first, now the outside of the base is crowded with media, and everyone who comes to the name will have to go out for interviews, as for what to say, the coaching staff didn't say, they decided for themselves", Gerrard said.
Still talking about a fart, do you still need to think about this, hurry up and clean up the on your body, he is also speechless for Terry's behavior of holding chicken feathers as an arrow, just drinking and chatting, just like you summoned your teammates to a party congress.
How could he not have noticed that England still had so many bullshit problems before.
When Gerrard and the others finished breakfast and walked to the press conference hall of the training base, it was already overcrowded, and they were surrounded by each other as soon as they "boomed".
Media practitioners in a state of affairs will always be more bloody than when they are not working.
'Frank Lampard, may I ask ......' 'Wayne, is what Terry said true?' "Mark, here, what do you think of Terry's remarks last night, is that really the case? ”
Countless questions overwhelmed a few of them in an instant, and they hoped to spit out deeper revelations from the mouths of these superstars, such as being dissatisfied before coming to South Africa, having been patient, going through many struggles, and finally everyone united and decided the story of the Great Demon King of Gong Dou.
Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed, and Makqin and they will not stand on Terry's side to fight Capello and the FA unless they have their heads watered.
"What? I didn't know about it at all, and we didn't have any discussions," he said, shaking his head firmly, "I don't know why Terry said that, but I want to say that everything is fine at the moment, we are very united and there is no contradiction with the coaching staff"
The others shook their heads one after another, saying much the same thing as Mackin, Capello was alone in another room and also facing the media, and now he finally made up his mind that he had not made up his mind to cut everything that looked crooked......
