Chapter 458: The Strike Begins
The Israeli national team is considered a third-rate force in Europe, although it is stronger than Cyprus, Macedonia and the like, but in the face of first-class teams, it is basically a rhythm that is blown up all over the ground.
But in this game against England, Israel showed desperate strength, all of them shrank up to defend, and England couldn't eat meat if they wanted to.
The unorganized England attack was unusually chaotic, especially against the opponent's bucket formation, as if everyone didn't know how to play anymore, and the most they used was to "play no matter where they are".
England had over 35 shots on goal throughout the game, but none of them were able to find the back of the net.
In the second half, McClaren actually replaced Vardy with a high school striker Heskey in order to make England's cross tactics more threatening, replaced him with a high school striker, and smashed it with a header!
When the referee blew the final whistle, the Israeli players celebrated like they had won, and for them, a draw away from home against a mighty England was like a victory.
There was a lot of boos at Wembley Stadium, but the boos were all for the England national team, who played a game of on their home turf.
Forced to a draw by Israel, England suffered their worst start to qualifying ever, with both Croatia and Russia ahead of England, and even Israel leading England on goal difference.
Everyone couldn't help but be confused, England won't be eliminated in the qualifying stage, right?
In his post-match press conference, McLaren attributed the defeat to the opponent's bus tactics, criticizing the opponent's dirty kicking and lack of progress, and Israel's performance on the pitch was simply a step backwards for football.
This excuse for losing is very fresh and refined.
Even the reporters stared at McLaren with contempt, trying to see if he could come up with a more excuse!
If there is an insurmountable gap between a team's own strength and another team, then it is not surprising to play conservatively in the game, and even if they don't want to play conservatively, the opponent's ferocious attack may not be able to raise their heads at all.
Obviously, there is an essential gap in strength between Israel and England now, does Israel have to attack without knowing whether to live or die in order for England to win?
There is no such reason when you go to the edge of the sky, so people will not get used to your problems!
You don't have the means to break through the dense defense, and if you are forced to draw, you can't blame others for being conservative!
Look at what kind of competition you command, there is no rule at all, and you still have the face to say that people don't want to make progress?
McLaren was so embarrassed by the media that he ran away from the press conference.
And just when everyone was frantically criticizing McLaren, in the hotel, several bigwigs in the England national team were plotting a shocking event, and even this major event may shake the English football world more than the English phone gate.
"I said last time that McLaren can only take England to hell, to the worst abyss, and I really can't tell what it would be like for England not to play in the European Championships!" Vardy shook his head, his deep voice causing everyone in the room to feel the loss.
Beckham nodded in agreement with Vardy's statement.
After England lost to Croatia last time, Vardy talked to Beckham about this issue, but Beckham felt that McLaren should be given a little more time, and it was really forced to be a palace, which is definitely not a trivial matter, and needs to be cautious and cautious.
But this game was drawn by Israel, England's group situation is precarious, and the pre-game training camp has been able to see McLaren's pounds, Beckham knows that McLaren is really not a suitable manager, at least not for England.
In other words, Eriksen's character is not good, but England in Erikson's era, although the X-Z-B-T routine may not be able to withstand the super strong team, but at least it is accurate to hit the belly of the fish.
And now McLaren doesn't even have the X-Z-B-T routine, so it's no wonder that England can't even win against Israel!
"I'm afraid that many of us may not be able to play in the 10 World Cup, so this European Championship must not be missed, and I will never allow myself to miss the European Cup because of other people's stupidity!"
"That's right, McLaren has no tactics to speak of, and I don't think even if I sat in that position, I would never be worse than him!"
"So what should we do?"
......
Several bigwigs talked about it, and in their hearts, they also didn't like McLaren, the coach.
"Strike, force the palace, let the FA fire McLaren, and find another coach!" Beckham said with a straight face, this is the plan he has discussed with Vardy before.
The reason for choosing this option is that Vardy and Beckham have also been deliberate.
In the previous life, referring to France's strike in the World Cup, if it weren't for the players who realized the serious consequences of the strike, and the last few players apologized on behalf of the whole team, Domenech almost went back to China directly.
You know, it can't be said that Domenech is responsible at the time, but it was still disgraced, and if the team did not compromise, the result was really difficult to predict.
And the situation in England is obviously very good for the players.
First of all, McClaren did not have enough qualifications before he took charge of England, and now England's results in the European Championship qualifiers are so bad, all England fans can see that England actually has no tactics on the field, who is he not responsible for this pot?
And compared with the superstars in England, McLaren, the manager, is not enough to see at all, can the FA bigwigs still expel the English superstars from the national team for McLaren?
What's more, now the FA itself is difficult to protect, even if England's phone door passes, they have no leisure to trouble the internationals.
The final result will definitely be McLaren's dismissal, and the FA will carefully select a suitable manager for England for the national team.
Of course, it would be impossible to say that there was no impact at all, and Beckham was ready to sacrifice himself in this regard.
In fact, after the World Cup, Beckham planned to resign as captain of the national team, which was a problem he had been thinking about for a long time, but it did not happen for various reasons, and now the armband of the England national team captain is still worn on Beckham's arm.
And this time, it is completely possible to use Beckham's captain's armband to give everyone an explanation.
Since David Beckham has taken the lead in the strike, removing his captain's armband would be the most appropriate punishment.
For the sake of the future and interests of the England national team, Beckham is willing to make such a sacrifice.
And once the England national team has a good result in the European Championship after the change of manager, then everyone will remember Beckham's sacrifice, he is the real hero.
After Beckham explained, everyone in the room was in awe of Beckham.
At this moment, they felt that this was a truly united England team, and Beckham used his personality charm to make the England national team truly a whole.
Strike!
Forcing the palace!
No one knows where the England national team will go, but they all know that there will never be a worse result than now!
......
The draw by Israel has put the focus of public opinion in England here, and even the FA, which is in the midst of the earthquake, has been temporarily put aside.
The England national team's training base was surrounded by a flood of reporters who wanted to know how the England national team would face the tough situation ahead.
But when it was time for training, the reporters did not see the players on the training ground, only the coaching team stood alone on the empty field with a confused face.
Could it be that they have misremembered the day and did not train today?
At first, the reporters didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, but after they saw the grim expressions on the faces of the coaching team, they realized that something might be a big deal!
Soon, the coaching staff returned to their hotel rooms to look for the players, and in the process, they kept praying that nothing would happen.
However, there was no one in the player's room, and all the players were gathering in the hotel gym at this time to train their strength, and just because they were training didn't mean they would ignore their training.
When all the national team players gather in the gym, it's also the time when the players really have a showdown.
"Why don't you go to training? Do you want to keep losing? Do you have the minimum professional qualities to be a player, what do you really want to do? You bastards! McLaren, who was already under a lot of pressure because of the loss, was completely out of control at this time, yelling hysterically at the players.
He also felt that he had the right to kill in front of the players, and he didn't even realize the seriousness of the problem, so he had no scruples at all.
In his opinion, even if the players have any small ideas because of the loss, after their own outburst, they will definitely obediently return to the training ground, and they have a chance to clean up these bastards.
However, what he didn't expect was that after he roared, the players in front of him looked at him with a dead man's eyes, with a sneer in disdain.
"Are you bastards going to rebel? Hurry up and get out of here for training! Perhaps it was the look in the eyes of these players that made McClaren feel flustered, and he tried to make himself look confident with the loudest voice possible.
But the problem is that no one pays attention to him, and he is surrounded in the middle like a monkey in a cage, jumping up and down just for people to see.
"David, what the hell is going on?" McLaren glared at Beckham and asked loudly.
Beckham finally stood up, glanced at McClaren coldly, but turned to the FA staff and said: "From now on, all our national team members will suspend training until the FA chooses a more suitable manager for us, and we unanimously agree that Mr. McLaren is not suitable to coach the England national team!" ”
Beckham's words were like a hammer on everyone's chest, deafening!
