A lot of people heard the voices of the England fans, and everyone thought it was inexplicable.

James didn't know why he had suddenly become so popular, and neither did anyone else, so when the fans shouted James' name, everyone in the stadium didn't know why.

Barack, who was on the live broadcast, wondered, "What are the England fans doing? They seem to be shouting David James' name. David James is England's back-up goalkeeper and currently plays for Manchester City and is City's number one goalkeeper, but he is ...... than Robinson.

At this time, a staff member told Barack the reason, it was Sky TV's guest Wan Sheng who said that James should be allowed to play, and it became clear to find the reason, so he immediately changed his tone and said, "James is a Manchester City player, he has improved a lot this year, and the goals conceded are also the fewest in the Premier League, Eriksen should replace him now to deal with the penalty shootout that is likely to come." ”

Like Barack, there are many people who change their tone when they hear Wansheng's name, and this is Wansheng's influence.

If it is said that James has a hand in saving a penalty for no reason, I will not believe it at all, but this is different when Wansheng says it, many people believe his comments, because he always says it accurately, although this time it is a little subjective, James is his player, but it is a bit unrealistic to expect Paul Robinson to create a miracle, so why not let James try?

The on-court media reporters soon got their hands on the source, and they began to analyze the abilities of James and Robinson, which of them saved a penalty better, and they rummaged through several years of data from the two to illustrate some problems.

The players on the pitch don't know this, and neither do the managers of the two teams.

The England players all heard the shouts of the fans, and they didn't understand when James had such an impact and was called for by so many fans to play at the last moment.

It's a bit inexplicable!

To say that James is popular with the fans, the fans shouted his name at this critical moment. No one believed it at all!

So they were surprised, but in the heat of the game, they didn't have to think too much about it, they should think more about Eriksen, who has the right to decide whether James will play or not.

Many cameras pointed at Eriksen, but the Swede looked still, as if he hadn't heard the fans.

In fact, Eriksen also felt strange, he didn't know why the fans shouted so much, but he had already thought about the last spot, which was reserved for Jamie Carragher.

Jamie Carragher is Liverpool's main backfielder. His appearance adds to the team's defensive intensity, while Carragher also has a good ability to take penalties.

As extra time approached, Eriksen opted to bring on Carragher, and England ran out of substitutions.

Seeing this substitution, Wan Sheng sighed and said, "If England wants to win, it really depends on God!" ”

"Not necessarily, right? Even if it is a penalty, does England have an advantage? George Woodgate asked, not understanding.

Wan Sheng shook his head and began to popularize common sense to the audience in front of the TV. "You know, who is the most important in the penalty shoot-out?"

George Woodgate thought for a moment and said, "Goalkeeper? ”

"That's right. It's the goalkeeper, a goalkeeper who performs well, enough to dominate the penalty shootout. You see Portugal's goalkeeper is Ricardo, and I dare say there hasn't been such a good goalkeeper in the whole of England. It was Ricardo's brilliant play in the last European Championship that allowed England to knock out the tournament. ”

'Now it's Portugal and England again, it's a penalty shoot-out. First of all, England are mentally passive because they lost last time. ”

"Facing Ricardo again, those who kick the penalty will have a shadow in their hearts, which will affect the performance of the players."

'We have to admit that Ricciardo has a lot of quality, he's one of the best goalkeepers in world football.'

"England and Portugal took penalties and won more than half of the time on the Portuguese side."

Wansheng said unceremoniously.

With Wan Sheng's explanation, the time passed slowly, and soon the 120 minutes of the game were over, and the two teams were about to go to a penalty shootout.

Then, as Wan Sheng said, England once again staged a tragic scene.

In the first round, Frank Lampard's right-footed shot into the bottom right corner was blocked by Ricardo!

In the second round, Hargreaves scored a point with his right foot.

In the third round, Gerrard's right-footed half-high ball hit the right side of the goal, but it was slapped out with one hand by Ricardo.

In the 4th round, Carragher hit the right side of the gate with his right foot, but the referee Elizondo did not blow the whistle and shot again, and Carragher's right-footed push was hit by Ricardo and hit the crossbar and popped up!

Ricardo saves three goals from England!

He became a hero of Portugal!

In the end, all the Portuguese cheered and celebrated their knockout victory, while the Englishmen had to leave in tears.

This is the end of their World Cup journey.

After the game, Wan Sheng also made a final speech: "I don't understand why Eriksen stubbornly kept Morris and James on the bench, but if they were used, I think the ending would have been different. ”

Before the game, when Wan Sheng said this, many people were dismissive, they thought that Wan Sheng was defending his players, although Morris was good, Frank Lampard and Gerrard were stronger, and in addition, David James's form was inconsistent, and it was difficult to compare with Paul Robinson.

But now it was different, because everything was as expected by Wan Sheng, England failed to beat Portugal in 90 minutes and then lost on penalties 120 minutes later.

The game has proved that Wansheng's statement is extremely correct, so many people trust Wansheng's judgment quite a lot.

Immediately after the game, there was a statement that "the reason England lost was Eriksen, who didn't send Morris, who was more playmaker, and David James, who conceded the fewest goals in the league." ”

Eriksen has no time to refute the claim of Wan Sheng, because after the game, he automatically terminated his contract with the FA and has since ceased to be the manager of the England team.

At the same time, his troubles did not come from Wan Sheng alone, and almost all of England blamed him for losing the World Cup.

The Sun commented, "Eriksen has ruined the most powerful generation in English football!" ”

This England team is absolutely world-class, every player in the team is quite weighty, such as Downing, Morris and other players, can only stay on the bench, and only Rooney, Gary Neville, David Beckham have the opportunity to play, and Eriksen's so-called young people, Arsenal's Walcott, did not even get a minute of playing time, and Crouch was a mess in the frontcourt.

It's fair to say that Eriksen's England side were quite a failure.

Eriksen took most of the blame on his shoulders after the defeat, conceded all the stigma and became the scapegoat for England's defeat at the World Cup.

……

Wan Sheng has little sympathy for Eriksen's plight, in his opinion, this stubborn and conservative Swede is really not very good at leading the team, otherwise the England team would not play like this.

It would have been impossible to put Morris on the bench as any manager, but Eriksen did.

Maybe the Swedes are oppressed by the many stars in the team, after all, Frank Lampard, Gerrard and other players are more famous, but in any case, he is the head coach of the team, and he has not led the team to further progress in the World Cup, and any reason is pale.

After the game, there were many media reports on Wan Sheng's commentary on Sky TV, because Wan Sheng was very accurate, and his prediction of the game was basically not biased.

And so a new round of discussion about Wansheng's 'divine prediction' began.

Some media immediately dug out the records of Wan Sheng's previous interviews, and then found some sporadic words, one of which was crucial, "There are many strong teams in this World Cup, and I am optimistic about France and Italy......"

Instantly, it seems that nothing is happening, but a lot is happening.

The bookmaker's outright bets have been greatly affected, and most importantly, the number of people buying to win the championship in France and Italy has increased dramatically!

Italy, Brazil and Germany are the three teams with the lowest odds, such as the aging France, there are not many favorites, and now the situation has changed, the defending champion Brazil and the host Germany can only be ranked third and fourth among the favorites, the most favored team has become Italy, and the second place has become France.

Faced with this situation, the management of British bookmakers and European bookmakers could only smile bitterly, and they suddenly thought that if there is a similar competition in the future, should they first spend a lot of money to buy the 'prediction power' of that young Chinese?

……

The next day, Wan Sheng was also quite happy, because he received the good news that after a series of negotiations, Manchester City finally took Ozil for a transfer fee of 3 million euros.

At the same time, Middlesbrough have also relented on the issue of Downing's transfer.

For Middlesbrough, there is no such thing as a club for sale, especially after manager McClaren has confirmed his departure, and there is no constraint on buying and selling players, as long as other clubs are willing to pay a high price, they don't mind selling the team's main players at all.

Originally, Middlesbrough was counting on Downing to gild the World Cup, and they could sell Downing for a high price, but England was eliminated, and Downing had almost no performance in the World Cup, so Middlesbrough finally relented in the face of Manchester City's money offensive.

£8 million, that's the final price negotiated between the two teams.

This price is still a bit high compared to Downing's value, but Wan Sheng knows that Downing is a late bloomer, although he is now 22 years old and played the main role in Middlesbrough, but he has not yet reached the peak of his career, he still has a lot of room to grow, in addition, compared to Manchester City's shortage of wings, it is completely acceptable to use 8 million pounds to supplement a full-back.

Once the two clubs have been negotiated, all that remains is for Manchester City and Downing to agree on individual contracts.

This has nothing to do with Wansheng.

The personal contract is an issue between Downing's agent and Manchester City, and basically Downing's transfer has been finalized, and he can rest assured. (To be continued.) )
