Chapter 116: The King of Balls Ascends the Throne!

In the hotel chartered by the Russian England team, Shaq received another call from his agent, Oxley, in his room......

"Shaq, Barcelona...... Well, you know that. ”

"Hehe, here you go again?"

"Well, they are very sincere this time, it is said that ...... They're in contact with Simon and, as you know, after the World Cup, Simon's contract with the English FA expires, and maybe something will happen then. ”

Shaq thought for a moment and said, "Glenn, don't worry, everything will wait until there is definite news, anyway...... Forget it, I'll go back and ask Simon, you don't have to promise anything first, let's see what choice Simon will make. ”

Shaq couldn't help but laugh when he put down the phone, since he called Simon two years ago? Since Grayson became the owner of the "Three Lions", Barcelona has never stopped chasing him.

With Messi's aging, Barcelona has been declining in the past two years, and this season has only won the third place in La Liga, Neymar is 26 years old, but his performance in this season is still tepid, 17 goals and 14 assists in 44 games, you can't say that he is not outstanding, but it is by no means as good as imagined, at least he cannot replace Messi's role in Barcelona.

Now 31-year-old Messi still has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Barcelona's attack, this season Messi scored 27 goals and 11 assists in 41 games, and his performance is still very stable, but he has fallen from the altar.

In recent years, Barcelona has also frequently thrown big money, Kompany, Rafael, Salomon and other big names have joined, but the team not only can't compete for the Champions League trophy, but even now can't even win the league championship.

It is for this reason that the "new" president, Rosell, who has successfully re-elected this season, has taken office with great determination.

Rosell, who was forced to resign because of the "Neymar" incident, was once again elected chairman by Barcelona fans. The reason is also very simple, the team lacks honors, although Rosell is not so bright, but his ability is worthy of recognition, and Barcelona can only return to the top under his leadership.

Barcelona haven't been chasing Shaq for a day or two, they have been trying to buy Shaq from Manchester United every season. Even Barcelona's "ball tyrant" Messi said publicly: "The team needs a leader like Shaq, we must have the best players in the world, so that the honor will follow." ”

Although Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and other giants, including Barcelona, are eyeing Shaq, Shaq has not moved in the past two years, and he has not even seen the slightest wind of wanting to leave the "Red Devils".

However, Shaq is still a little unhappy with the current situation of Manchester United, he has been at the club for four years, and in those four years he has scored 436 goals for the United United, but he is now 25 years old. After the last two seasons in charge of Ryan Giggs, United's tactical tilt towards him has become less pronounced, which is the main reason for his declining goal rate, and as a man who aims to break Pele's goalscoring record, Shaq is too hungry to score, especially since he has only "scored" 568 goals so far, which is still half way away from Pele's record.

If...... Well, just if. Simon? If Grayson does stop coaching the Three Lions when his contract expires, where will he go? I'll just play wherever I go.

On topics such as "Simon made Shaq" and "Shaq made Simon", no one is discussing it anymore, and the "Red Devils" coached by Ryan Giggs in the past two years have proved that Shaq is only in Simon? Grayson's men can become the all-powerful god of greenery and leave Simon? Grayson, Shaq is just very good. He was no longer a god.

In fact, now Simon? Grayson is also dissatisfied with the English FA, which is supposed to watch Simon after the World Cup? It is understandable that Grayson led the team to make a decision on whether to renew the contract with "Brutal Simon". Can Simon? Grayson is very unhappy with this, as his fame grows, this man's temper naturally grows, he feels that the English FA does not renew his contract before the start of the World Cup, this is a distrust of himself.

So...... Simon? Grayson is now really in contact with some of the big clubs who are interested in him through his agent.

And Simon? The relationship between Grayson and Shaq is no secret over the years, and everyone understands one thing, that is, if you want to have Shaq, you must first get rid of "Brutal Simon", and whoever gets this pair of masters and apprentices is equivalent to taking countless championship trophies into their arms.

Before, Simon? Grayson wants to play for his country, to etch his name in the history of English football, now...... I think I've got an opportunity!

The next morning, while doing low-intensity training, Shaq found Simon? Grayson: "Boss, Barcelona says they're in contact with you?" Are you going to coach Barcelona next season? ”

For Shaq's straight to the point, Simon? Grayson didn't care at all, he and Shaq were like father and son, and there was no need for any secrets between the two of them, so he immediately smiled and nodded: "Well, Barcelona is quite sincere, and I don't plan to coach the national team after this World Cup, so I'll think about it, but ...... Maybe there are other teams in contact with me, so how about they come and help me win the honor? ”

"Of course!"

Shaq grinned, "Boss, who else do I follow if I don't follow you?" ”

"Okay! But Shaq, this World Cup should be the only time I'll lead the team to play in the World Cup, so you kid has to make me nervous, it's up to you whether we can etch our names in football history. ”

"Boss, don't worry, I'm in good shape now!"

Got Shaq's answer in the affirmative, Simon? Grayson had a smile on his face, he had absolute trust in Shaq's ability, even to the point of blindness, he had already decided that as long as he trusted Shaq infinitely, then all the honors would be at his fingertips. And the reason why this year's "Three Lions" will get rid of so many famous English stars is to make Shaq a unique leader of this team.

Although this year's England team is not as famous as in the past, they are still the number one favorite to win the World Cup, and Simon, who is full of confidence? Grayson, ahead of the first round of Group E group stage against Paraguay on June 17, solemnly announced to the world: "We are currently the number one team in the world in England. We've won the European Championship and the Confederations Cup in two years in a row and we've gained enough experience, so this time we're here with the only goal of winning the title, and I, the players, and the staff are ready to win the title! We will do our best to make the strongest impact on the World Champion! ”

Simon? Grayson's slogan was loud, and the "Three Lions" were even stronger in the game. In the first round of the group stage, they defeated Paraguay with a score of 3:0, and in the second round they defeated Japan with a score of 4:0, and after two games, they had already qualified for the group, and in the third game, they defeated Switzerland 1:0 with reservations, and entered the round of 16 with a record of winning all three games, scoring 8 goals and conceding 0 goals.

After reaching the round of 16, England remained strong, beating Ukraine 3-1 in the quarter-finals and Italy 3-0 in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, they defeated Argentina 5-2.

The England team, which has had a smooth journey, has been regarded by countless people as the new world champion after reaching the final. Because their opponents in the final are really not very strong...... Belgium!

Belgium was able to reach the World Cup final, but it was really stumbling and going through hardships along the way, beating Brazil with 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, and joining hands with the big dark horse Australia to qualify, and then beat Mexico 3-0 in the quarterfinals and semifinals. Belgium played the full 120 minutes with Chile and Switzerland respectively, and finally relied on penalty shootouts to eliminate their opponents with great difficulty.

On one side is the "Three Lions" who are about to break into the final, and on the other side is Belgium, which has been through life and death several times, even if the fans say that Belgium can win the Hercules Cup in an upset, I am afraid that they themselves will not believe their words.

Not to mention. England leader Shaq is in hot form, having scored 11 goals in six games so far. Grayson's tactical arrangement was an unprecedented success, and Jonny? Howson and Wilshere, the left and right transporters, both completed four assists and tied for the top of the assist charts.

In the face of such a strong "Three Lions", how can other teams compete with them for the title!?

Although everyone was unanimously optimistic about England before the game, believing that they would return to the top of the world after a gap of 52 years in 1966, no one expected that the "Three Lions" would win the ...... at Luzhki Stadium on July 15 It's so easy!

Just seven minutes into the game, Shaq received a cross from Barkley on the right, stopped the ball with his chest into the Belgian penalty area, and fired a left-footed volley into the far corner...... 1：0！

On 19 minutes, right-back Walter fell in the Belgian penalty area after a corner, and Schak converted the penalty...... 2:0！

In the 41st minute, Belgium's corner kick from the right side of the field failed to create a threat, and England seized the opportunity to play a counter-attack. Rodwell sent the ball to the opponent's penalty area with a 50-meter long pass in front of his own penalty area, Shaq was lightning fast and took the lead in controlling the ball, facing the Belgian goalkeeper with a single knife, Shaq made a shot feint with his right foot, and stabbed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal with his left foot...... 3:0！

Shaq scored a hat-trick in the first half, which knocked Belgium's morale to the bottom, and with two consecutive 120-minute penalty shoot-outs, the Red Devils were drained of the last of their potential, and when their star Romelu Lukaku pulled one back in the 81st minute, the score was already 4-1, and Wilshere scored the fourth goal of the game for England on 67 minutes.

At the end of the game, England defeated Belgium with a score of 4:1, and won the Hercules Cup after 52 years.

With a magical performance of 14 goals in 7 games, Shaq won the World Cup Golden Boot and Golden Ball awards, won the European Cup, the Confederations Cup, and Shaq after the World Cup, completed the real Grand Slam of his career, and became the third recognized king in the world.

This edition of the "Three Lions" with Shaq as the absolute core has achieved unprecedented success. Grayson has once again proved how powerful his "solar system tactics" really are, but the FA is still not done and Simon? Grayson's contract renewal, everyone in European football believes, the next ...... Maybe something interesting is going to happen. (To be continued......)
