No one wants to afford to fail. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When England reach the final, no matter how much confidence they have, and no matter what the recent situation is, everyone hopes that the team can hold on until the end and win against Spain to make new history in English football.

As a history-making participant, they will reap the honours and become the true heroes of English football.

After Wan Sheng's final speech, the heart of each player yearning for victory became more expectant and enthusiastic.

In terms of the media, there has been a lot of attention to the England team.

That night, many TV stations focused on England's preparations for the game, and carried out the final detailed report before the decisive battle.

The picture shows English players, who are active and serious in training, and when talking about the decisive battle, they show high morale.

"We can see that the England team from top to bottom, is full of confidence and fighting spirit, in two days, each of them put all their energy into training, many people say that England players consume too much energy off the field, but since England reached the last four, the players have not been in contact with their wives and girlfriends, all their energy is put into training and games......"

"Such a positive England team is very worth looking forward to, so far most people think that Spain has a higher winning rate, but the England team has long been different from the past, in this European Championship, they beat France, beat Italy, just beat Germany, and now they meet Spain, they also have a lot of hope to win......

"We can expect England to do tomorrow!"

At the same time as the host of the show made a report and analysis, the scene of the England team training also appeared on the screen.

This is rare.

Most of the preparation time of the England team was closed, and Wansheng did not give media reporters time to interview at all, but before the match with Spain, the England team did not continue to conduct closed training.

For Wan Sheng, and for the entire England team, there is nothing to hide when the European Championship reaches the final.

That doesn't make sense.

England played five games and five games were enough to reflect a lot of things.

But in terms of public opinion, there are more people who are optimistic about the Spanish team, and even if many people support the England team in their hearts, they cannot deny the strength of the Spanish team.

It's a formidable Spanish team.

According to Sky Sports England before the start of the European Championship, "If the Spanish team can defend the European Championship title, then they will create an unprecedented result!" ”

In the past four years, Spain has won Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup.

Spain entered as the defending champions and are also ranked No. 1 in the world by FIFA.

In the group stage, Spain was placed in a group with Italy, Croatia and Ireland.

In this group, the strength of each team is good, but whether it is the 2006 World Cup champion Italy, or the strong Ireland and Croatia teams, they are not considered to have an impact on the Spanish team to qualify, and in the end Spain will undoubtedly qualify as the first team in the group.

The Spanish team personnel are also the most luxurious of all teams.

Villa were unable to be selected due to injury, but Spain has no shortage of stars, with the midfield full of top attacking superstars such as Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Silva, Cesc Fabregas and Juan Mata.

Puyol's injury has cost Spain, but Ramos has played at centre-back for most of the season and can be replaced.

The midfield combination of Sergio Busquets and Marcos Alonso has been solid.

"The only problem with the Spanish team may be the 'lack of strikers'. In the World Cup, Villa scored five goals alone, but now Villa is unable to participate in the European Championship due to injury. Torres found some form at the end of the season, but he has not been a goal-scoring striker for the national team. Soldado and Llorente have been eye-catching this season, but they have few chances in the national team, and it remains to be tested whether they can take on the responsibility of scoring goals. ”

This is the general evaluation of the Spanish team by the European media before the start of the European Championship.

However, the European Championship reached the end of the semi-finals, and the Spanish team scored 11 goals in five games, and the efficiency of 2.2 goals in one draw is enough to prove that the team's goals have not been affected much, and their two most important players, David Silva and Torres, have performed quite well.

David Silva is the heart of Spain's midfield and the team's key man, playing the full 450 minutes for Spain and scoring three goals and two assists, arguably the best performer in the Spanish team.

Another notable one is Fernando Torres.

In terms of the role of the Spanish team, players such as Andres Iniesta and Ramos are more crucial than Torres, but Torres is the star of the Spanish balloon, and although his performances have been up and down, he has received a lot more attention than others.

Torres went into the Euros, playing just 130 minutes in five games, but he scored three goals and one assist, a terrifying efficiency that made him once again one of the most talked-about stars in the entire tournament.

In terms of the performance of the core stars, the England team did not concede much.

In the England team, there is only one player who can compare David Silva and Torres, but Morris has been able to suppress both of them, playing the full 480 minutes for England, scoring six goals and providing three assists.

Statistically, Morris is just equal to the sum of Silva and Torres.

With this performance, it is no surprise that Morris will undoubtedly be the Golden Boot and the best player of the tournament, and the rest of the players will not even have room to compete.

So the English media desperately reported on Morris.

The media likes to report on the stars, but in fact, in the eyes of the two teams, this is a competition between teams, not just between stars, Spain coach Bosque said, "It's going to be a big game, no one is sure to win, but there is no doubt that the game is not only about performance, but also about the overall strength of the two teams." ”

"Some journalists asked me if I was sure to win, and they went back in history and said that England had not won the title, some people thought it was good for Spain, some people thought it was bad for it, but we can't look back because history can't affect us at all and change anything. I think we're a little bit similar to England in that we both qualified on penalties and it's not sure how England will play, but we're going to stick to the style. ”

Speaking about the formation against England, Bosque continued: "I'll look at how the players perform in the final training session and decide who is in the best form and the best to start and then he will be in the squad against Italy. ”

Then a reporter asked detailed questions, such as whether Xiaofa will be sent to act as a "fake striker" again, with a 460 strikerless lineup PK England, Bosque said bluntly: "I will send 3 offensive players at the same time, there will be 3 strikers at the front responsible for attacking, we will definitely emphasize more offense than defense, but each player will have a clear division of labor and responsibilities on the field." ”

'We can't stay in the last century, football has been evolving and we have been changing. Of course, a lot of players are in and out, but the soul of our team hasn't changed. ”

Bosque also revealed that Villa and Puyol, who missed the European Championship due to injury, will be present at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv to support the Spanish team.

'We're a great team, it's like a big family and it's a shame we missed out on two important players and now their return will make the team more cohesive and combative, it's a great moment and it's great to see them again.'

Spain as a whole looked very high-profile ahead of the game, with many of their players being interviewed, with David Silva and Fernando Torres being the ones in the spotlight.

Amid the optimism of the Spanish players, David Silva and Torres agreed that "we should be more cautious!" ”

'England is coached by Wan Sheng, he's a great manager, I think he's the best in the world. The outside world is looking forward to us winning, but we have to be more cautious because I know he's a tough guy to deal with. David Silva said.

Torres said: "I miss the time I had at Manchester City, when he was in charge we were always very motivated, the team was full of positivity and we were confident that we would fight for all the titles. I'm sure England will be the same now, we have to be more careful or we will be underdogs. ”

At this time, many media discovered that the core figure of this game is actually Wansheng, because whether it is David Silva and Torres in the Spanish team, or Morris in the England team, it can be said that they are inextricably linked with Wansheng - Silva and Morris were cultivated by Wansheng, and Torres also remembered Wansheng.

It's a pity that they can't interview Wansheng anymore.

――――

It wasn't until the next day, when the game was about to begin, that the media rediscovered Wan Sheng, who went to the pre-match press conference, but didn't say anything more, and his posture and language were very low-key.

At this time, the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv was already occupied by fans.

The number of English fans who come is very large, they account for a third of the number of fans, and it is said that in order to watch the 'great game', many English fans buy 'scalper tickets' from local fans, and do not hesitate to pay three, five or even more than ten times the price, so the number of English fans has skyrocketed.

Spanish fans are relatively small, with just over 6,000 people, accounting for only half of the crowd on the west side.

This is the number of tickets allocated by UEFA to Spain.

In terms of fan support, the England team undoubtedly has an absolute advantage, which is related to the fanaticism of English fans and the overall economic situation of the United Kingdom, compared with Spain, which has been experiencing negative economic growth, the average income of English people is much higher.

England dressing room.

As soon as the players warmed up, Wan Sheng returned to the room and observed the state of each player, he used the 'Eye of Condition' to watch, which can ensure that every player who plays, at least will not be uncomfortable with the game for a long time.

The whole player is in good shape, and Wansheng is happy with it.

After that, Wansheng gathered everyone and began to make a final admonition, and he emphasized only one thing, "Be patient enough!" ”

"We don't need to play flamboyantly, we don't need to fight for pressing, but we need to be patient and we need to play tougher!"

"Tactics or something, I don't want to say more, I'm sure each of you should know how to fight! I believe that as long as we play normally, the victory will definitely belong to us! ”

"Let's play, I hope after the game we can celebrate together!"

Wan Sheng wasn't talking anything more.

The Spanish team's style of play is on the bright side, and how the England team should deal with it is actually on the bright side.

It's like the team didn't have closed training before the game, it's completely unnecessary, England and Spain know each other very well, the national team game is like a club match, no one can ask Liverpool and Real Madrid to play against each other, Manchester United and Barcelona meet, and they can only defend passively.

Now it's the same with England.

England know how Spain plays, and Spain knows how England will play, and the two teams don't even have to test each other.

The whole team rested in the dressing room for a while, and after adjusting to their condition, the time was almost up, and the players walked into the tunnel one by one and began to wait for the final appearance.

The two teams came out together.

In the players' tunnel, players who are familiar with each other greeted each other, Silva, Torres and others also greeted Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng smiled and nodded, and praised Silva, "Good performance." ”

After that, the players of both teams walked out of the tunnel separately.

Everyone could feel the atmosphere, it was a hotter atmosphere than the previous games.

Listening to the cheers in his ears, Wan Sheng took a deep breath, turned to Gary Neville and said, "This is the final!" ”

"yes, the final!"

Gary Neville also has some emotion, in the days when he was only a player, he did not make it to the final of the European Championship, and now he has just been retired for a year, he did not expect to come here, and it is a pity that he came as an assistant coach and not as one of the players who participated in the competition.

"I've never lost a final." Wan Sheng said, "I believe that this game will be the same, win, win the championship!" ”

He clenched his fists.

Gary Neville said, "I want to win too, that's good! ”

"Gary, have more faith, we will be the winners, repeat this sentence ten thousand times, and then we will be the winners." Wan Sheng said indifferently, as if he was stating something that would definitely happen.

"Is that so?"

Neville was stunned for a long time, and Wan Sheng had already gone to shake hands with Spanish coach Bosque.

What few people know is that Neville really took it seriously, and he kept saying this sentence from the beginning to the end of this decisive battle......
