At 10 o'clock in the morning on the 17th, on a small training ground at the Stadium of Light, the England team was doing some adaptation training, and the players were in good spirits, because they welcomed their second opponent in the group stage--- Switzerland in the afternoon.

"England is the birthplace of football, and the most important thing every English football fan wants to see is the revival of English football!" After training, Eriksen gathered his players and said: "And you are carrying the seeds of this hope. ”

"There are tens of thousands of England fans cheering you on every game, and on the island of Great Britain, there are tens of millions of fans sitting around the TV, watching your performance and pinning their hopes on you, what should you do?" After saying that, Eriksen stared at the players and waited for an answer.

"Play hard!"

"Get the win!"

"Score a few more goals!"

……

These big-name stars, obviously not as good as the well-trained army, answered a mess, but everyone's cry from the bottom of their hearts still made the serious Swede nod in satisfaction, "Although we won the French team, the players on the court should know that it was just luck, so this game must not be taken lightly." ”

"As long as they can win the game, England will be able to qualify early, which will also satisfy the fans, do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" This time, the answer was very neat.

Switzerland were not favourites in Euro 2004 qualifying, but Kuhn's side finished top of Group 10 and qualified for the final stage.

Many commentators have attributed the success of the Swiss team to the decline of their two arch-rivals, Russia and Ireland, and despite the fact that they have more talented players, the Swiss have proved that they are also a consistently good team, especially their forward line, where the veteran partnership of Steven Chapsyt and Alexander Faure scored more than two goals per game in qualifying, which is also one of the best in the world.

Therefore, if England undershoots, it will be easy to add another upset to the European Championships.

…………

After taking a cold shower in the bathroom, Wang Li wrapped a bath towel and walked into the locker room, after each training, no matter what the weather is, he likes to take a shower, which can greatly increase his internal circulation, make the internal force flow more active, and help to recover from fatigue.

"Haha, Alan, did you provoke the Lusa reporter yesterday?" With a newspaper in his hand, Bridget walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Wang Li, he immediately smiled gloatingly.

"Journalists?" Wang Lilen paused, thought for a while, and then frowned and said, "It seems that there is a man with two mustaches, who has to interview me, but I ignored him." ”

"That's right, look at this report." At this time, the teammates next to him also came over curiously, and when Bridget spread the newspaper on the table, Wang Li noticed that the headline in the lower left corner of the "News Agency" ---' 'Grandstanding clowns'.

'There is no shortage of hard-working rookies, veterans to be admired, and accomplished celebrities, but in this atmosphere, there are still a lot of clowns, yes, clowns. They don't have the ability to beat their opponents on the football field, they don't have the ability to gain the approval of the fans, so they find many ways to attract the attention of the audience and use it to gain fame, such as doing some circus performances on the field, self-inflicted alternative shooting, and even this still does not satisfy their vanity, but they have to use some ghostly talk outside the field to sensationalize. ’

It's hard to imagine why such a player qualifies for the national team, is it because of blood ties? Or is it something else behind the scenes? It is hard to imagine what world football would become if such unscrupulous clowns were allowed to have cholera in the beautiful field of football in order to become famous. '--- Kurilt. Sandro

This report does not mention any names at all, but those who know a little about the recent news, of course, can think of Wang Li, in the face of this kind of naked personal attack, he has nothing to do, because the report does not mention any name at all, even if he goes to the court, it is difficult to succeed, which is an important reason why Kurilt was blacklisted by the club in Portugal.

Wang Li clenched his fists tightly, although he kept telling him in his heart to be calm, but anyone who appeared in this kind of newspaper and suffered this kind of insult would not feel good in his heart, if it was now in the Song Dynasty, he didn't even think about it, so he went directly to cut the reporter down, but unfortunately it is the 21st century.

"Don't worry, this journalist has a very bad reputation, he eats by insulting the players, I've heard his name, the reputation in the whole of Portugal is very stinky, and the fans just pass the time when they see his reports." Michael. Owen looked at Wang Li's flushed cheeks, patted Wang Li's back worriedly, and comforted.

"He's a grandstanding clown, Alan, it's all right."

Wang Li turned his head and smiled, "I'm fine, thank you." Although he said this, he was very angry in his heart, as a professional football player, he could only respond to this criticism with his performance on the field, just like Francisco in the last tragedy. Falface, SIC TV also made a ten-minute short video specifically for him, in order to allow Harry, who is more than a meter tall, to ride on him, he directly knelt on the ground and got under the sheepdog.

However, because of this, his reputation is now even more popular, and it is said that SiC intends to invite him to be a commentator for the sports column.

There will be gains and losses...

…………

At 17:50, at the Coimbra City Stadium, the match between England and Switzerland was finally about to begin.

"1, 2, 3, come on!" On the pitch, the England players gathered in a circle, under the leadership of captain David Beckham, cheering for the team and themselves, Wang Li was still on the bench for this game, but he was already lucky, another striker Vassell has not been included in the team's squad so far.

According to the survey, 93.7% of fans are very satisfied with his commentary, while the game has not yet started, Graham hurriedly introduced the Swiss team's playing list, "Swiss coach Giakob Kuhn lined up a 4312 formation, and the goalkeeper is the team's captain No. 1 Still, No. 5 Murat. Yakin leads the back line, along with No. 2 Haas, No. 20 Miller, No. 17 Spielcher, No. 16 Celestini as midfielders, left and right wing-backs No. 18 Hugel and No. 16 Celestini, No. 10 Hakan-Yakin in the front, No. 11 Chapizat and No. 9 Alexander. Frey. ”

"It seems that Kuhn has a lot of trust in Chap Issat, the veteran is starting again, in the qualifiers, the efficiency of this pair of strikers is very high, but it is not clear whether Chap Isat can still play the whole game, you must know that he has passed the age of 35, the veteran's fitness problems are really worrying."

'It's a very important game for both teams, Switzerland drew with Croatia last time out and if they lose this game, their chances of qualifying are very slim, and England can win the game to be the first team in four groups to qualify, which is of course what the Swedes want, and we will be looking forward to seeing what these lads do next.'

Just as Graham was chattering, referee Ivanov looked down at his watch, walked to the center circle, put the whistle to his mouth, "beep ......", and with this whistle, the game began.

With a swing of his right foot, Owen kicked the ball to Wayne Rooney, who flicked it back to Gerrard in the back and headed straight for the Swiss half.

England played a couple of passes at the back and after pulling the Swiss apart, Lampard stabbed David Beckham on the right. David Beckham won the ball but surprisingly did not pass it and broke through the halfway line from the right.

After reacting, Hugel immediately ran over to intercept, only to see Beckham slowly dribbling the ball, and suddenly an acceleration change of direction passed Hugel very cleanly and beautifully, and continued to dribble forward. As the captain of the England team, heartthrob David . Beckham is by no means just a one-foot passer, and although it is rare to see him break through, it does not mean that he does not have this ability, you must know that when he was not yet famous, he often played all the way at Old Trafford.

After passing Hugel, Beckham looked up at the front, picked up his right foot and made a direct long pass, and the ball flew towards the direction of the small penalty area.

At this time, in the penalty area, Rooney was sandwiched by two defenders, but his body was really dominant, I saw him squeeze hard, squeezed out a small space, and then jumped up directly, the header ferried, the ball changed direction in the air, and flew towards the left side of the Swiss goal.

It's a pity that the ball flew out of the bottom line by grazing the goalpost, causing a sigh of regret from the audience.

Just over 1 minute into the game, England scored with a thrilling header to give the Swiss team a dismount, only 18 years and 7 months and 24 days Wayne. Wayne Rooney almost scored his maiden goal in the European Championship finals.
