27. David Beckham
As the captain of the England national team, David . Beckham is a beautiful man on the surface.
In fact, few people know the pressure on Beckham's shoulders, although this extremely professional man has never shouted to win the World Cup like Du Yang and them, but the championship is definitely Xiaobei's ultimate goal.
David Beckham was the hope of England and in '01 he saved England's ......economy with a stunning free-kick In 1998, the World Cup in France came as scheduled. He wore the number 7 in England. In the group stage, he scored his first goal for the national team and the World Cup with his best Beck arc, and he pierced the door of the Colombian team with a tricky arc.
This free-kick made fans remember the name Beckham, as well as his magical free kicks and long balls.
In the quarter-finals, his England team welcomed the Argentine team led by Batistuta. In that game, Owen made a name for himself with a goal from a long run, but let's not forget that it was his long ball.
But then, because he was not calm, he fell for Simeone's trick, received a red card, and ended his first World Cup journey. England, with one man less, drew with Argentina in 120 minutes. In the penalty shoot-out, England eventually lost. A few days ago, he was a hero in the hearts of England fans, but he suddenly became an outcast and enemy in the hearts of all England fans.
In his autobiography, he described the night as follows: "I know how disappointed England players and fans were on that night at Saint-Etienne. Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, I almost collapsed. At my age of 23, I'm not ready to bear all the criticism I was given for losing to Argentina. ”
After the World Cup, he ushered in the first low point of his career. At one point, he had the idea of leaving England. At this time, however, there were two people standing firmly by his side.
One is Alex Ferguson, who has repeatedly cheered for Becky, and in the Manchester United team, Ferguson has given him the greatest trust. He withstood the pressure and scored time and time again for Manchester United.
And the free kick in 01 allowed Beckham to complete the ...... of self-redemption.
And now, Beckham also has an excellent performance in the group stage.
When the Anglo-German war was inevitable, the aces of the two teams, Du Yang and Beckham, became the object of everyone's attention.
Now Xiaobei is not as young as he was at the beginning, and his face is becoming more and more of a vicissitudes of temperament. It is more in line with Chinese aesthetics of old handsome guys...... This may be Beckham's last chance, because after four years, no one knows if Beckham's form will be maintained, or if England will be as successful as they are today.
They have a lot of good players and they are the Three Lions...... Golden boy Owen and Golden Fat Rooney lead the team's luxury forwards, two of the top 10 midfielders, and Stephen Gerrard and Frank Lampard are the team's proud stars. Owen Hargreaves is a talented defender for England, but he also passes accurately and is an attacking linker...... At the back, Christian Eriksen has one of the best defences of the tournament, with Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry and Gary Neville giving many strikers despair...... With such a lineup, Beckham can't help but think about the championship...... His goal, his dream, his World Cup dream...... David. David Beckham, a strong man, is also an England captain who has gradually matured from a young boy.
Once, he became a public enemy of the whole people because of malicious fouls, but he became a national idol with a lore...... His long balls and free kicks are unparalleled in the world, some people say that Beckham eats by his face, but he didn't think about David Beckham's 33 assists in a single season!
Until today, it was broken by Du Yang with 51 assists!
Some people say that David Beckham is nothing but free kicks and long balls, but he didn't think that Beckham used to have years of rushing on the wing, it was injuries that took away his speed, and it was the years that ruthlessly made him slow down.
Some people say that David Beckham is not worthy of being the captain of the England team, Gerrard and Lampard should love it even more, how can he only take it, in this England team, how much pressure does Beckham, as the captain, provoke!
Some people say...... Well, to hell with them.
He's just David. David Beckham, one of the stars of our current era, is one of the superstars who is about to leave Real Madrid for Major League Soccer...... Except for the English, perhaps no one has the most intuitive feeling about the existence of Xiaobei.
His long pass is too important for the Englishman. (It's really sad when Milner's crosses in South Africa disappoint strikers time and time again...... "I hope we can beat Germany and stay here, the hosts are strong, but we will do everything we can. "David. Speaking to BBC television, David Beckham said his words made the Englishman feel confident.
They have to face Germany, and they have to face Du Yang, a peerless talent who is moving towards a generation of football kings...... It's a tough battle and it's going to be a classic of the '06 World Cup.
The Germans' preparations began early, and all the German players at the German team's training base in Munich were grim-faced...... They finally welcomed their most formidable enemy of this World Cup - England.
The players of the German team are in a state of apprehension, as the England team is considered the strongest in history, with Eriksen having a myriad of aces and superstars in his hands...... However, the lads of the German team are excited again because the round of 16 has finally begun! They dream of going further and further in this World Cup.
"This is the only time you've ever seen! This is the only time in your career! I hope you will cherish that you will not have such opportunities in the future...... This is home, and we want to show the German people how German football has improved in the past few years......"
"The pace of the attack is fast and the speed with which the transition is dizzying...... However, they are not without weaknesses. Their ability to seize opportunities is average, and it should be said that creativity is average. And Gerrard and Lampard are not compatible......
"Our chance to win is to take advantage of their mistakes......"
Klinsmann was giving a speech, and his pre-match mobilization really gave a sense of the imminence and pressure of the game.
Everyone knows that the golden bomber is also extremely helpless at the moment. Because no one expected the English to be so unhelpful...... Well, fatalism has once again become the opinion of all media reports.
The Anglo-German battle, the round of 16 broke out, when the German team chose the white uniform, the England team chose the red uniform...... The match will be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich and will be refereed by Italian Veloso...... Everything has come to an end.
......, "Du, what should I do, I feel like my heart is about to pop out." When the German team's bus drove up to the outside of the Allianz Arena, the German players heard the cheers of more than 150,000 German fans outside the stadium.
They shouted in rhythm and regularity that Germany was advancing! They are disciplined and not crowded...... Beer has become the main theme of this summer, and the Germans love it, but today, most of the fans are ready to drink after the game, hoping that the German team will give them such a chance...... The battle between Britain and Germany has attracted the attention of countless people, and this match that started first in the round of 16 has made fans all over the world nervous...... Even neutral fans felt the tremors in their hearts. The skies in Munich are cloudless, and temperatures in the 30s could be a challenge for both teams. The scorching sun was shining on the lazy grass, and the players were strong enough to withstand the pressure as their feet pressed over their heads.
The stadium was completely full just over an hour before the start of the game. Throughout the stadium, the more than 7,000 England fans looked a little small, as they wore white England uniforms, so the entire stadium was rendered white.
A huge German flag appeared in the stands, a carefully crafted gift from the German fans. They shouted for Germany to advance...... "It's hard not to be nervous." Helmers said after a sigh of relief.
The German teammates next to him all nodded, and it was true that the hustle and bustle of the tournament had to make them nervous. Moreover, this is still a knockout game, and if you lose, you can say 88 to the world.
The German team wants to keep going, and the faces of the young German players are full of desire for the future, full of desire for the World Cup.
The youth storm has given German fans a glimpse of the lively side of the country, a glimpse of the vibrant side of the country...... On the other side, when the England team started to warm up, David. Beckham became the absolute backbone. No one dares to question Beckham's status in the England squad, and this is his third World Cup appearance, the second time he has captained the team to the World Cup.
"Hey, David, how are your feet?" Looking at Beckham, Owen asked with concern.
Patting Owen on the shoulder, Beckham smiled, "It's all right, Michael." ”
Owen nodded, knowing that Beckham was the most indispensable for the England team...... England can do without a double German, they can do without a world-class defence, but they can't do without David. David Beckham, that's the state of the England team.
No matter how Eriksen adjusts this England team, one thing will not change, the Englishman has stuck to his style of play for decades. David Beckham's long ball is the attacking guarantee for this England team...... While looking at the disciples on the field, Eriksen also looked at their opponent tonight - Germany.
It seems that the players of the German team are very young, and they have childish ...... written on their faces However, this is definitely a strong team and Eriksen's analysis after watching the video is that although there are still many aspects that are not perfected, they are playing smartly and for England to beat Germany absolutely need the protection of Lady Luck.
After the pre-match warm-up, the players from both teams returned to the locker room...... All the fans in the stadium fell silent, everyone quietly waited for the start of the game, which was the last quiet before the game...... Generally speaking, this is the calm before the storm. Some of the fans were chatting, some were talking, and some were making final preparations, such as getting a tattoo of the German flag on their faces...... In the dressing rooms of both teams, Eriksen and Jurgen Klinsmann both felt like they wanted to say something but couldn't...... Yes, it's too difficult, for the managers of both teams.
