Chapter 562: St. Petersburg
"Mr. Southgate, welcome to St. Petersburg, your goal for this World Cup?!"
Southgate took off his sunglasses, looked at the reporters around him and said, "Enter the semi-finals and try to win the championship!" ”
Some reporters surrounded the players: "How do you feel about the weather here?" Are there any discomforts? ”
Southgate was the first to speak: "The atmosphere is good at the moment, there are no physical problems with the players, we are slowly getting back on track. ”
"Please don't worry, we're really good, except for a few players, most of our players are healthy."
An England journalist asked: "Mr Southgate, one of the things that everyone is very concerned about right now is that Jones can attack and assist, how would you arrange Jones in the game?" ”
Southgate breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled and said: "Regarding the use of Jones, our coaching team has also had an in-depth discussion, Jones can attack and assist, how to use him is not a distress, but a kind of luck for us." ”
"We're going to do research and discussion about how to use him, and we're going to get him where he should be where he should be!"
In today's world football, there are very few players like Jones, and for England, it is indeed lucky.
Southgate didn't give the reporters a chance to ask questions, and after that, he put on sunglasses and led the team away.
With so many talented players up front, England are undoubtedly one of the favourites to win the World Cup!
But the English reporter was worried that he would go with hope every time, return disappointed, and finally reap a bitter harvest.
…………
For this World Cup, the England team was chosen to be located in a small town called Lebinno, about 40 kilometers northwest of St. Petersburg.
This town is because of the great Russian painter Ilya. Named after Repin's residence, it borders the Gulf of Finland and is about 200 kilometres from Finland.
It is also located in a secluded forest, so many of the Russian middle class will buy houses here for vacations, and this is where the wealthy live.
After an hour's drive, the England team came to their hotel, where the England team lived, a new hotel about 15 minutes' drive from the training base.
Jones, carrying a sports bag, stepped off the bus, looked up, and saw that the environment near the hotel was not bad.
There is a banner on the hotel building welcoming the England team and wishing the England team the best results!
The banner made the England team feel at home, and the hotel manager led the hotel staff to stand at the door of the hotel building, smiling to welcome the favorites to win the World Cup.
England walked into the lobby under the guidance of the hotel manager and handed the door number to the assistant coach from the front desk.
The room was arranged long ago, with Jones and Cahill staying together.
The hotel has been in use for seven years, and there is nothing special about it, and Jones found that the only bright spot here is that there are hot springs to soak in.
During the World Cup, England had already secured an entire hotel, not far from St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city, and Southgate told the players that they could visit it if they performed well.
England's football training ground has been in operation since the Soviet Union and is part of Russia's Olympic Organizing Committee.
It is undergoing a major renovation in anticipation of this year's World Cup, and Russia hopes to meet the training conditions of the England team.
England asked for a six-metre high fence around the World Cup training base, and when Jones arrived, he found that the training base was only a two-metre railing.
St. Petersburg is known as the art capital of Russia, and St. Petersburg is famous for its distinctive Russian classical architecture.
At the same time, art, music, ballet and literature are also the pride of the city, and the Repin Academy of Fine Arts is one of the four major art academies in the world and is the art palace in the hearts of countless artists.
The Conservatory is also on par with the Conservatory in Vienna, Austria, and the first ballet in the world, with the premiere of the famous ballet "Swan Lake" held in this city.
In the more than 300 years of St. Petersburg's history, the main story of St. Petersburg is closely related to two names: Peter the Great and his favorite wife Catherine, who together created this city of wonders and arts.
As the first emperor of the Russian Empire, Peter the Great's place in Russian history is too important.
During his reign, he even moved the capital of Russia from Moscow to St. Petersburg, which remained the center of Russian culture, politics and economy for more than 200 years until the October Revolution of 1918.
The bronze statue of Peter the Great, erected on the south bank of the Neva River, can be said to be a symbol of St. Petersburg.
The summer palace on the outskirts of St. Petersburg is the palace of Peter the Great and a must-see check-in point when traveling to St. Petersburg.
The construction of this palace brought together outstanding architects and craftsmen from all over the world, including France and Italy at that time, and Peter the Great personally participated in the planning of the project.
In addition to Peter the Great's great talents, his love story is also worthy of praise, and another famous check-in point in St. Petersburg, Catherine Palace, is a gift he gave to his wife.
Built by the famous Italian architect Rastelieri, this Baroque building is extremely elegant and luxurious.
The most famous of the palace is the Amber Room, the walls of which are covered with amber, which is a never-before-seen sight.
St. Petersburg's most famous landmark is the Hermitage, one of the four largest museums in the world, in the heart of the city.
The Hermitage is located on St. Petersburg Palace Square, the former imperial palace of the Tsars of the Russian Empire, and after the October Revolution it became part of the St. Petersburg State Hermitage Museum.
Nowadays, many people also refer to the Hermitage Museum as the Hermitage Museum, which is one of the four major museums in the world, along with the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
This year is the year of the World Cup, and many media have long been warming up for the World Cup, and Russia is becoming more and more lively.
After the European tournament, a large number of journalists from various European countries rushed to various cities in Russia where the tournament was organized.
St. Petersburg can be called the cradle of Russian football, and it was here that the first officially recorded football match in the history of Russia was held on October 24, 1897.
Four years later, the country's first football league was founded in St. Petersburg, and after more than 20 years of existence, today Zenit St. Petersburg is one of the most famous clubs in Russia.
Within the framework of the 2018 World Cup, a number of key matches will be held in St. Petersburg, including a semi-final and a third-place match.
The northernmost of the 12 stadiums of the 2018 World Cup, St. Petersburg Stadium is located at the source of the Baltic Sea on the Neva River in the Gulf of Finland.
Built in 2007 on the site of the Kirov Stadium on Kresnovsky Island, St. Petersburg Stadium is a very modern stadium and one of the largest in Russia, with a capacity of up to 110,000 people.
The architect's vision for the St. Petersburg stadium was a spaceship that landed on the shore of the Gulf of Finland.
The seven-storey building is 56.6 meters high, and technically, St. Petersburg Stadium will be one of the most modern stadiums in the world.
Equipped with a retractable roof and sliding pitches, it is possible to host any type of event at any time of the year, even in winter, when the temperature inside the stadium will be 15 degrees Celsius.
