Li Tongfan then threw out the sweet bait.

“…… There is no team that comes to Austria and Switzerland that does not aspire to the ultimate championship, I am used to preparing for the best and the worst from the beginning, Alain's departure and stay determine my prestige and control in the current team, if I can't even protect my own players, I can't imagine anyone else who will fight for the team's victory, Mr. Bryan, you should know how fatal this problem is for a manager, right? If you want to win the championship, please give me a united team......"

At this moment, Li Tongfan is like a little devil with pointed ears and a sharp tail, gradually developing sharp horns, waving this pointed three-strand fork in his hand, releasing the wonderful temptation from hell at the telephone receiver!

The other part of the phone was silent for a while, and Brian Balvik was finally persuaded by Li Tongfan: "Okay! Lee, don't let me down! ”

…… The other side of the English Channel.

Brian Balvik hung up the phone and let out a long breath as he sat on the couch in his pajamas. Since Crazy Lee became England manager, an incredible winning streak has given the FA more and more prestige in the eyes of the fans, and the fans' support has been rising.

Moreover, it now seems that only this Chinese can bring the championship trophy that everyone dreams of to Great Britain, and no matter what, he must meet his conditions and help Alan Smith stay in the England team!

Of course, there is another unknown reason.

In fact, as a Michael Owen fan, Brian Balvik also shouted in the office with excitement when he saw Alan Smith punching down that damn Spanish No. 4 player on the TV screen!

Refreshing!

It seems that every man has a violent plot in his bones!

…… In the days that followed, the controversy over Alan Smith continued.

The British and Spanish media launched a large-scale scolding war.

After the game, the Spanish team announced Marchena's injury: a front tooth was lost, a slight concussion, and he was out for a week.

Such a tragic card won the sympathy of many people, and in the eyes of the Spanish press, the white-haired Alan Smith was simply more hateful than Satan, the demon of hell, and the Spaniards would have been eager to tie this violent person to the stake of the medieval Inquisition and burn him to ashes if he could.

The counterattack from the English side was also unambiguous.

The injury of Three Lions' top scorer Michael Owen has touched the hearts of millions of fans around the world, and the brutal tackle of Marchena and the shocking scene of Owen's injury have made everyone who likes him fear a repeat of the 2006 World Cup in Germany...... Fans can't afford to lose a golden boy once.

So, for a few days, letters of condolence drifted from all over the world to the FA, England and even Newcastle FC's fan relations departments. Compared with the Spaniards to Alan Smith, England fans undoubtedly hate Marchena more indestructively. Some fanatical fans have even made death threats against the Valencia centre-back...... Thankfully, England and Newcastle FC's official websites were quick to announce Owen's injury - an ankle contusion and a week's suspension!

As soon as the news came out, even the earth seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although a one-week break is a big obstacle for Owen to compete for the top scorer, Owen fans can already rejoice to be able to stay in the European Championship despite such a malicious foul!

And because of Owen's injury, Alan Smith's heinous behavior in the eyes of the Spaniards was as lovely as an angel in the eyes of the British. In the face of national honor, this time not only the fans, but also the media industry of the British Isles, which has always been demanding, have become monolithic, unanimously supporting Alan Smith.

The British media portrayed Alan Smith as a heroic figure who had the courage to stand up to protect his teammates, coupled with Smith's previous tenacious and courageous style at Leeds United and Manchester United, Smith became synonymous with "men" overnight, and his popularity among British female fans faintly surpassed David Beckham's, and for many young male fans, dyeing their hair white and waving a few casserole-sized fists from time to time became fashionable...... As for the madman Lee, who led the team to win both battles and defeated [Otto the Great] and [Football Wisdom] in succession, he has undoubtedly become the man of the year in the British Isles and the land of China. The image of Lao Li with a cold face in front of Marchena has become the most frequent photo that appears on television and in newspapers and magazines.

The Sun did an intriguing fan survey - "If it weren't for Alan Smith, would the madman Lee swing his fists?" ”

Eighty-five and six percent of the fans did not hesitate to choose the "yes" option.

Obviously, the muffled man has practiced the pretending skill to a certain extent, because he just stood in front of Marchena and put on a pose, and he took a large part of Alan Smith's "credit............ The war of words between the media and fans is inextricably contested on the face of name, and football officials are not idle.

There is an undercurrent surging under the sun.

On June 20, the UEFA Records Committee announced the results of the investigation ahead of schedule. While none of the teams other than England themselves were in favour of a lenient punishment for Alan Smith, Platini was shocked when the penalty was finally announced, with Spain's number four Marchena being suspended for a foul.

England's No. 13 player Alan Smith acted violently at the stadium, suspended for three games, and fined an additional 100,000 euros!

Such a punishment is extremely light for both Marchena and Alan Smith, especially for Alan Smith, although a fine of 100,000 euros is considered a heavy sentence, but a three-game suspension...... Food for thought!

As soon as the punishment came out, in addition to the media, the Spanish Football Federation and the FA all humorously expressed their complete compliance.

…… Night.

Hotel.

Lao Li's room.

“…… Lee, I've done what you asked," FA CEO Brian Balwick said on the phone, revealing a deep sense of exhaustion: "I hope this will not happen again, the cost is too great......"

Li Tongfan snickered into the phone.

This time the UEFA penalty scale was relaxed, and it is estimated that Balvik did put a lot of effort into it, and he knew that he was tired enough to listen to this voice, but fortunately, the thing was finally done!

There was a pause on the phone, and he tentatively asked, intentionally or unintentionally: "Lee, you know, all of England is now waiting for you to bring them a trophy that has been waiting for them for too long like a savior...... "I see what you mean, Mr. Balvik!" No football lover is loathing trophies, and neither do I! ”

…… The European Cup match was thrown in the heat of the stage.

Just over two hours after England swept Spain 3-0, the winner was the winner of the other Group D match - at the Sizenheim Stadium in Salzburg.

Defending champions Greece were knocked out by Norway by a single goal. In the 33rd minute of the game, the 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper of the Greek team, Nikopolidis, made a fatal mistake, and the tackle did not become an empty goal gift for the Norwegian team, and the high school striker Karui smiled unceremoniously!

Although Greece still have a group game against Spain, they have already lost the possibility of qualifying for the last eight of Euro 2008.

"Myth Collapse Only One Ball! 》

"Otto the Great is no longer magical, and the defending champion is gone"

In the midst of the mourning of the world's media, the most beautiful and dazzling myth of Europa in 2004 was finally shattered four years later.

After the Greek team was eliminated, [Otto the Great] Rehhagel officially announced that he would not continue to coach the Greek team after the European Championship, and the team's hero in 2004, Charlisteas, announced that he would retire from the national team after the Cup...... The coach is gone, and the hero is twilight...... There is a touch of glory in history, but there is one less miracle caster on the green field!

…… The exit of the defending champions is even more brutal in football, as Greece is not the first team to exit the tournament, nor will it be the last.

After the second round of the group stage, the third round will start immediately!

June 18th.

Group A is back in action at the St. Jakob's Arena in Basel.

The Portuguese team, which qualified ahead of schedule, made a big rotation and finally lost 0:2 to the Swiss team. Hakan Yakin scored twice to help the hosts go to the first victory in the history of the European Championship finals!

Two hours later.

It is called the city of Naiva and the stadium of Naiva Stadium.

The Turks staged an incredible comeback for the second time - after trailing the Czechs 2-0 in Eastern Europe, they eliminated their opponents with three goals in the last 16 minutes. Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech made two fatal mistakes and became the sinner of the Czech team!

In Group A, Portugal and Turkey joined hands to advance to the last eight.

…… June 19th.

Group b.

Germany beat Austria 1-0 thanks to captain Ballack's free-kick blast.

Croatia, on the other hand, relied on the first kidney player in the history of the European Championship - the strong [kidney fighter] Krasnić scored the winning goal, and also defeated Poland 1:0.

In Group B, the Germans and Plaid Legion both advanced to the quarterfinals.

…… June 20th.

Group C begins.

Tulip Holland relied on the goals of [Robinhero] Van Persie and [Hunter] Huntelaar to beat Romania 2:0!

The Azzurri Italy finally showed their cold knives, AC Milan's brain Andrea Pirlo scored from a free kick by the great left-back Grosso from a free kick to finally beat the Gallic Roosters France 2-0...... The dust settles on the group of death's inspiring competition.

The Orange and Blue teams made the cut, while France, who had high hopes before the game, made a disgraced three-game run home............ On June 21, the fighting of Group D resumed.

Sitzenheim Stadium in Salzburg.

Greece broke the deadlock with a goal from former national hero Charlisteas, but Spain relied on goals from Real Madrid midfielder De La Reed and La Liga top scorer in 07-08 Guiza to ease the comeback.

Two hours later, the final group game of the European Championship will be played by the Three Lions against Norway.

For Li Tongfan, he must defeat the Norwegian team led by Liverpool's fierce man Rieser in one battle in order to complete the first stage of the big bull-level system task [Shining Top of Europe]!
