Five hundred and nineteen, untitled (time is pressing)
It's only mid-October, and the weather in Russia is already showing a hint of winter, and the temperature in Moscow has almost dropped to freezing.
After beating Estonia 3-0 in their last game, England seem to have found their rhythm to win and are firmly in their own hands to qualify from the group.
The cheers from the media and fans made Lynn dismiss, but of course, he didn't talk too much about it.
However, some reporters wanted Lynn to make a prediction about the results of the national team, where would Lynn go to cause trouble for himself, and resolutely shook his head and declined.
Not involved.
'I'm the manager of Chelsea and it's all about winning with Chelsea and the national team is in great shape and they're going to get what they want.
'I just want the Chelsea players not to get hurt'
"Why don't you say it?" Kate was curious, and when she saw Lynn send the reporter away, she chuckled and teased.
When Robin came for afternoon tea, Lynn predicted that Russia's Guus Hiddink would bring McClaren to his original form, and England would expect a defeat in Russia.
Lynn shook her head and smiled, hugged Kate and walked forward, "It's rare to go out shopping with you, not to mention football, okay." ”
Kai nodded in agreement.
The game ended when the young couple returned home.
Lynn couldn't wait to turn on the TV, the commentator was commenting on the game in frustration, the Three Lions suffered a Waterloo, the original qualifying situation was good, but now it is good, after losing to Russia, it has become extremely sinister.
McLaren's flushed face was filled with helplessness, as if the blame was not on him.
After this game, England have 23 points from 11 games. It is only two points more than Russia, who have played one game less. This means that as long as Russia wins two matches against Israel and Andorra. will overwhelm England to qualify; England's failure to qualify for a major tournament for the first time since 1994 and for the first time since 1984 is about to become a reality.
"England's body may still be convulsing when it falls to the ground, but the autopsy should start now." Mortenson's voice was grim. But he was telling the truth.
"Now Russia has to go to Israel to win the game, so the pressure is on their side. We'll wait for the results and then do what we're supposed to do. We haven't given up yet, Israel's home field is not easy to play, and Russia still has a lot of work to do"
McLaren's voice seemed a little unremarkable, but Lynn was interested, knowing that the Russian gutter had capsized, just like England. McLaren actually had a chance.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the game was a humiliation in the media, England had not lost to Russia in the last forty-nine years, and now Hiddink has broken that curse.
Soon, the topic of media discussion turned into the issue of the new Three Lions manager, with a number of managers at the centre of contention.
Of course, Lynn is one of the main characters.
In this regard, Lynn was helpless and had to clear his suspicion at the gate of the Cobham base. "It's not fair to Mr. McLaren, England still have a chance, and it's still big, and Israel won't let the series end there. That's too bland, I dare say, Russia will make a mistake. ”
Many reporters were a little unconvinced of Lynn's bold predictions. It is true that Israel's strength is not too weak, but it seems unreliable to expect Israel to fight to the death for England to stop Russia.
The buzz has not affected Chelsea's preparations. At the weekend, Chelsea host their third Champions League group stage opponents, Schalke 04.
Schalke's main point of attack is Asamoah. This buffalo-like body is his greatest weapon, but he can't stand up in front of Chelsea.
With a clean 2-0 score, Chelsea secured a win to qualify from the group.
Two weeks later, Chelsea's rotation got a draw at Schalke's home stadium, Lynn was satisfied with this, although the media believes that Chelsea should go all out to win, but now Lynn's mind has changed a lot, he just needs to make sure Chelsea qualify, and he is not willing to waste more strength to fight for any impressive results, although the 100,000 euro winning bonus has flown away, but that money is not worth his desperate efforts.
With the recent intensity of competition and Chelsea's international players being a big player in the world, he has to think about the health of his players and try to do as little as possible.
After the Blues beat Everton at home in the 11th round of the league, Lynn was pleased with his team's performance, and with multiple players rotated, the team could still hold Everton strongly, and Chelsea already had a good position in the Premier League
"Lynn, you seem to be too far away from football lately, it's not good" Robin, even if he is not a professional, feels that Lynn has moved away from the world of football, except for Chelsea.
'It's nothing, I'm concerned about Chelsea's interests, and only when Chelsea develops, we have a future.'
Lynn understands why Robin is talking to him about this, Robin's biggest wish is to make Chelsea the number one club in Europe and even the world, and the conditions are almost the same, just one chance away.
Chelsea are not the best clubs? No one can tell, even Lynn, there is no spectrum in his heart. In recent seasons, it seems that Chelsea have enough, but old traditions are hard to change
A miracle was born just when the whole of England felt that the European Championship was far away from them.
Israel defeated Russia at home without a home advantage.
The result made the English media and fans cheer!
At a time when England was actually in a desperate situation, the Israelis beat Guus Hiddink's Russia at home stadium, making the group confusing again.
In the overall standings, it looks like England can qualify with a win over Croatia at home, and the task does not seem to be difficult.
Fans who had already lost hope in England finally mustered up the courage to gather at the new Wembley Stadium, Croatia had no intention of fighting, and even lost to Macedonia in the last game, which shows how much chance England have.
According to the pre-match calculations, Russia has actually lost its chance.
With England's quality, a draw at home to Croatia is hardly a hindrance.
The last thing Russia will say is Andorra, and even if Russia is bad, they will take Andorra.
It's up to England to play Croatia at home.
History seems to have played a suffocating joke on English football.
The opportunity is already in hand, and as long as it doesn't upset Croatia at Wembley, it will be enough to get the Three Lions out of embarrassment.
The result was unacceptable to everyone. (To be continued......)
