"England?" Far away in the training base in Uruguay, several people are sitting in the room watching the live broadcast on TV, and if Macqin is here, he will recognize Forlan, Suarez, Cavani and his teammate Cáceres.

However, Cáceres is clearly here to play soy sauce and has not played a minute so far.

"I feel like England are very strong this time," someone said.

'Apart from that dribble, Ghana didn't create any decent scoring chances, and Mark controlled a really strong midfield"

In the team, Cáceres and Mackin are teammates, and the rest of the people who have directly played against Mackin are Godin during the Yellow Submarine, and when he played Atletico Madrid, Forlan missed out on injury and him.

"He's a phenomenon at Liverpool," Cáceres said, "and he's the darling of thousands of fans, and at Liverpool you'd rather offend the boss than offend him"

"Godin, you've fought him directly, what is your impression?" asked Captain Fran.

Godin shrugged his shoulders, "That time they poured 7 of us in two games, we were a little bit broken, at that time their trident couldn't be guarded at all, Mark was in charge of the midfield combing and back insertion, our captain Senna couldn't watch him"

Everyone here knows this history that it was that year that Mark killed three Spanish giants in the Champions League in a row, and finally won the Champions League final!

If the quarter-final opponent is really England, it is definitely the last thing they want to face, but the current result shows that this situation is getting infinitely closer to reality.

Cáceres watched Mackin on TV flicker and move in the midfield, like a monkey, exhausting Ghana's pressing players, who didn't grab the whole game, and when they really wanted to grab, they found that they couldn't grab it at all.

I really don't want to meet you!

At the same time, Dutch's Kuyt was also watching TV, the day after tomorrow, it was their 1/8 final against Slovakia, and he had not been in contact with a few of Liverpool's old buddies after coming to South Africa for so long.

A semi-zone, I hope to meet it, so that you can say hello on the field, and it also means that both teams have reached the semi-finals.

It's just that you can't hide the light of your kid anywhere, he looks at Mackin who is very recognizable in the England team, a teammate of three years, he knows him too well.

There is little hope for Ghana, and Mackin will slowly grind them to death with England, just as he has done many times with Liverpool to win in the most economical way.

If you want to grab the ball at his feet, don't dream!

But Ghana's strategy was not wrong, it didn't use multiple people to flank Makqin, that would only die faster, the game played for more than 70 minutes, and they only lost 1:2, judging from the scene, it was already good.

"Also, you're glad you didn't meet Mark at his best," Kuyt said to himself, "I guess he's having a bit of a problem right now"

is worthy of being an old teammate, too familiar with Mackqin's style on the field, he will never waste his inconspicuous physical energy to do something meaningless, it is estimated that he is already planning for the top 8.

The break after the round of 16 was a week's time to give him a sigh of relief, "If you do meet in the semi-finals, I won't be soft on you," Kuyt said with a chuckle.

He has decided to retire to Liverpool, he has won a Grand Slam in Liverpool, and he really wants to meet Liverpool's three captains in the World Cup, just thinking about it makes him feel excited.

……

"Bari, clean tackle, Boateng reached out to foul the referee, Hungarian referee Viktor ignored it, Carragher got the ball and handed it to Mark at the first time"

England switched from defence to attack in an instant, and one of Ghana's centre-backs had already stepped into a midfielder, and Essien immediately rushed forward to try to steal the ball at Mackin's feet.

But Mackin looked like he had an eye on the back of his head, flicked the outside of his left foot, handed the ball to Johnson, and then quickly turned right and brushed Essien.

"Two-by-one, Mark completed a beautiful two-by-one in the backfield, directly erasing Essien, Essien tackles ...... behind", Lineker's voice was frightened, but there was no scream as he expected, and the teenager pulled the ball lightly again, avoiding the tackle in a matter of seconds.

"Beautiful, he's the prophet on the field!" , Lineker roared loudly, mixed with the fear just now, and now in front of Mackin is a flat horse.

Immediately followed by a ball, directly from the middle of the field to move forward, the Ghana players seemed to hear the sound of a broken dream, crazy chase.

But a scalpel-like through pass straight through the gap between the three centre-backs in Ghana's centre circle saw Wayne Rooney on the left sprint from the flanks to the centre.

"Rooney, and Defoe, they are not offside, double ghost knocking on the door! This goal will seal the win! All the English commentators were boiling, looking at the two white figures who rushed forward with anticipation.

Goalkeeper Kinster had no choice but to abandon the goal and intercept Wayne Rooney, who was closest to the ball, and Rajevac looked at the empty defence as if waiting for fate to tell.

"Rooney, he caught up with the ball, Kins ......", Rooney, who took a step, saw Kins rushing over frantically, his body was all open, and he clearly would not give up his hands even outside the penalty area, even if he was punished, 1:2 was not hopeless, but 1:3 was really hopeless.

"Pass, pass," Capello shouted anxiously from the sidelines, this is not the time to fight for credit, because this goal is extremely important.

Rooney may have really heard his shout, or perhaps put his personal accolades behind the team, and at the moment when Kins put the tackle on the side, he pushed directly with his left foot, passed the ball diagonally forward, and then jumped high to avoid Kins.

And over there, it was Defoe, who was also sprinting, unguarded, with an open goal, which was an easier goal than in training, and only needed a gentle push!

"Boom", "Goaaaaaal......","Defoe killed the game, Ghana won't have another chance, England advanced to the last 8, they equaled the best result for the national team in 16 years!" ”

The moment the ball went into the net, all the England players ran up and hugged Defoe to celebrate the game-winning goal.

The English fans in the stands shouted frantically in celebration, "Round of 8", "Round of 8", nothing could stop them anymore, Capello excitedly high-fived Beckham in celebration.

Rajevac lowered his head and shook it, they lost this game, both teams played not exciting, they had concerns, but at this time, the competition is the ability to seize opportunities.

It's a shame that they only won less than 20 minutes.

"Capello, replaced Mack with Carrick, the great Mark, although he didn't score today, to continue his previous hot form, but he gave a wonderful assist, and controlled the midfield, go and rest, Mark, there are big games waiting for you in the future", Lineker said excitedly.

Mackin clapped his hands in the stands as he slowly walked down the pitch, and the England fans in the stands all stood up and applauded him, and he walked to the sidelines to hug Carrick before taking his coat.

"Well done, rest well, we'll have two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow," Capello said happily, obviously he was extremely happy with this doomed victory, and he also knew that Mackin needed to recover.

This week's World Cup schedule is the most intensive, and it will be better after that, otherwise he is really worried that Mackin will not be able to hold on.

"I want to watch from the sidelines and watch us get to the last eight, it's a wonderful ......feeling," said Mackin who did not sit on the bench, but stood with Capello not far from the sidelines.

Capello laughed and acquiesced, then turned his head straight to the pitch, and Ghana unleashed what could be called a suicidal attack for the remaining ten minutes, but the England defence did not make any more stupid mistakes.

When they were defending with all their might, it was not so easy to break down their goal, and the fourth official raised the stoppage time sign and the cheers in the stands were even louder.

Three minutes, two minutes, one minute.

The referee finally blew the whistle in his mouth, "boom", the whole stadium boiled, Real Bamferken boiled, and the whole of England boiled.

"We're in the last eight, the lads are good, we've reached the last eight in three World Cups, rest the lads, and then attack the top four, our best result in 20 years."

Mackin walked to the field in his jacket and hugged his teammates one by one to celebrate, some teammates have already sat on the ground, since the start of the World Cup, two full weeks have passed, and their physical fitness has also entered the first bottleneck, which needs to be repaired urgently.

"It's over, England", the people in the Uruguayan training base room were silent for a moment, and then shouted, ", England, haha, kill England!" ”

"Congratulations, Mark", Kuyt said with a smile, "I'll see us the day after tomorrow."

"The last African team also said goodbye to the World Cup today, Ghana, England scored three goals in a row after conceding one goal first, congratulations to England, congratulations to Mackqin, every step he takes today will become great history in the future!" , Duan Xuan said excitedly, how can a Chinese person not be excited if he can achieve such results.

"The Ghana team played a little conservatively today", Zhang Lu said a little unsatisfied, "but it's not easy to say, the real attack may be worse, congratulations to England, next they play against Uruguay, South American powerhouse, this one is good"

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon in the sky is very round and round.

Ma Qin stood on the field and looked at the sky, feeling comfortable, the knockout round is really different from the group stage, once he passes the top 16 and enters the top 8, it will be a different feeling psychologically.

Just like in the Champions League, you look forward to the semi-final, and then you look forward to the final, as if everything becomes palpable, not just from afar.

"Mark, can you exchange jerseys", a voice came from the side, and Mark Qin turned his head to see that it seemed to be Ghana's left wing-back Incombe.

"Of course", he replied with a smile, as Innum said to the media after the game, although he was an opponent on the field, he admired Mark very much, was his fan, and exchanging jerseys was a sign of respect for him.

Round of 8, Uruguay, Suarez? I'm coming!

When he wore the Inkum jersey and went with his teammates to thank the fans, the whole stand automatically sounded "God Save Queen", missing a European Cup really hurt them, the team finally advanced to the last eight, and they also burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm.

"I don't know what will happen to them if we make it to the last four," said Makqin as he raised his hands and clapped as he chatted with Gerrard beside him.

"It's not just them, but even I'm going to be crazy, you know, we haven't been through the top four in 20 years," Gerrard said with a laugh.

"What about the finals?"

"Uh, think about it a little bit......"

"What about the champion?"

“……”

Gerard looked at him speechlessly, and a sentence came out for a long time: "Then we can walk sideways in England later"

When it comes to the top 8, regardless of whether there is a last chance, who of these 8 teams doesn't want to touch it at the end, that is, ten days and three games.

It's there, glowing and waiting......
