At half-time, England's dressing room was filled with laughter.

A three-goal lead was enough for them to secure a win in the game, and it was almost impossible for Trinidad and Tobago to overtake the scoreline, so the England players were naturally relaxed, the game was almost won, and they were ready for a second victory.

Everybody was talking about the last goal.

Speaking of which, he just turned his back and volleyed, but the range of that action was really large, and it was by no means something that ordinary people could do, not to mention, Zhang Tiehan was one meter nine tall, and he made such a flexible and powerful movement, which was really eye-catching.

Zhang Tiehan became the protagonist of the locker room.

Everyone is discussing their goals, Zhang Tiehan didn't feel anything, in fact, he has long adapted to such an atmosphere, he will be the protagonist of the whole team in every game, and what he is concerned about is the victory or defeat of the whole team, not what he has to say, and the most important thing is that he can help the team win the game.

When Christian Eriksen walked into the dressing room, the atmosphere of the players was not affected much.

The Swedes praised everyone's table in the first half, without saying more, began to talk about the second half of the play, which is a summary of the first half of the game, in the first half of the game, the team took advantage of the opportunity to score three goals, but there were still many problems in the game, such as many times the attack was too simple, so that the football was stopped in the midfield, this is a simple tactical necessity, but in the game, we should try to avoid such a situation.

On the other hand, defensively, the team is not doing very well.

Trinidad and Tobago also had a couple of chances in the first half, as the media and fans saw that Trinidad and Tobago didn't fall too far behind in the game, which was just a reference to the scene of the game, and they were behind in the scoreline. But they weren't at much of a disadvantage in the game, maybe they haven't scored so far, it's just that the ability of the strikers is limited.

England is fighting for efficiency and playing simple football, but defense is also what England is good at, and you can't neglect defense because you have goals.

Erikson focused on this. He hopes Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard can perform better in the transition, so that the team can cope with sudden counter-attacks and be more solid defensively.

However, it remains a matter of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard's overlapping positions

When both men are on the pitch, there is some confusion at the heart of England's attacking and defensive transitions, both of them are players who can bring the rhythm of attacking and defensive transitions, so the position and the core are a bit chaotic, with some players following Gerrard's rhythm and others following Frank Lampard's rhythm. So many times, when the opponent suddenly completes the break, England's defensive formation will be a little chaotic.

Erickson saw this very clearly.

He hopes that both of them can make a difference, after all, both are the best midfielders in the world, and if you want to replace one person, he doesn't know if he can still play to his current strength, and he doesn't know who to replace and who to replace. Anyone is a little dissatisfied.

He thought of it, but he didn't say it to the players. Let's just talk about letting everyone work harder on defense, and we have to do a better job in defense in the second half.

Everyone nodded their heads

On the other side, the dressing room in Trinidad and Tobago has a dull atmosphere,

Head coach Ben Hack looked at the players with their heads bowed and was dull for a long time before he said, "I told you before I came to the World Cup. We're just an underdog, we're coming to the World Cup with a learning mentality, even if we're knocked out of the group, it's nothing, we're in the World Cup for the first time and no one thinks we'll be able to qualify from the group. ”

Hear this. The atmosphere in the locker room was even more dreary.

As a professional footballer, in the battlefield of the World Cup, everyone hopes that they can do better and go further, imagine if you come to the World Cup and know that the team can't qualify from the group, then what else does the game need to play? Everyone wants to qualify, get to the knockout rounds, play against the big teams, and not just get to the second game and feel hopeless. ”

But then, Ben Hack added, "But we're going to try to qualify, we're going to take the opportunity to play game by game, even if we're three goals down now, we still can't give up, as long as the game isn't over, we're going to try to play the best, and we still have a chance, I don't have a point, we lost this game, we won the game, we still have a chance to qualify, I hope you can do it and stick with it until the last minute." ”

After listening to the words of head coach Ben Haac, the Trinidad and Tobago players have somewhat increased their confidence.

Oh, yes!

We are an underdog and we are here to play with a learning mentality, so what if we lose three goals against England and have no hope of winning? We're going to hold on until the last minute of the game!

Soon the second half of the game began.

Benhak's words gave the Trinidad and Tobago players renewed their confidence, and even after three goals down, they still worked the pitch and the morale of the game did not drop at all.

England players are also working hard.

The three-goal lead made England players feel relaxed, and that relaxation gave them a better mindset to deal with the game, and everyone remembered Eriksen's admonition to start the second half with a tight defensive and head-to-head clash with Trinidad and Tobago.

Trinidad and Tobago are indeed a lot worse, although they work hard in the game, both offensive and defensive, compared with the England team, after England strengthens the defense, it is difficult for them to put football into a dangerous position, and the English players are also quite good in attack, their wave of advancement makes Trinidad and Tobago look a little tired, the only thing they can do is to use crowd tactics to defend the goal.

It's a helpless choice.

Between the 50th and 60th minutes of the game, Trinidad and Tobago did not complete a single outstanding attack, they could only defend the goal and ensure that the goal was not conceded. With three goals down, such a game almost made Trinidad and Tobago completely lose its attention.

But they have no other way.

Even with such a defence, it is still difficult for them to keep the goal, especially Zhang Tiehan, who Trinidad and Tobago knows only about Zhang Tiehan in the club. In the national team and the World Cup, Zhang Tiehan has only played one game, which has no reference value at all.

It was very difficult for them to defend Zhang Tiehan.

Ben Hack has formulated a defensive strategy for the England team before the game, and he is also a headache for Zhang Tiehan's defense, and Zhang Tiehan's defense is definitely a worldwide problem now, and many coaches will put forward some suggestions for Zhang Tiehan's defense, such as Capello, who coaches Juventus. Last season, Zhang Tiehan was in Rome, and Juventus's two game schedules were very average, and Rome was completely dragged down by Juventus's rhythm, and Capello's construction was naturally very referential.

Capello's defense of Zhang Tiehan proposed, "Use the formation and blockade of the whole team to make the opponent's star players unable to play." ”

This sentence is well understood.

Juventus have always done that, and they are experts in Italy's chain defence. They are called 'Old Women' because their style of football is 'slow', but they can be quick when attacking. They have been using this change of pace to control the game, but they can also use the team's defense and rhythm change to keep the opposing star players out of play.

That's how Juventus defend.

This kind of defense has proven to be very effective for a star player like Zhang Tiehan, as long as he can't play a smooth game with his teammates. It's hard to get out of Juventus' 'defensive circle', but once you cooperate too much with your teammates, star players will be reduced to ordinary players.

Zhang Tiehan has not yet had a chance to prove whether he can play Juventus' defensive tactics, but it is clear that Trinidad and Tobago cannot use the same defense as Juventus, and Ben Hack is targeting Zhang Tiehan's defense. Just say it for everyone's attention, and then there is no then.

Their individual players are not very outstanding, they have no advantages compared to England in terms of physical fitness, technique and many other aspects, and the team has no characteristics, so he has no way to formulate effective defensive tactics against Zhang Tiehan.

Now when it comes to the playing field, Trinidad and Tobago's defenders have a headache.

Zhang Tiehan has a large range of running in the front court, and the constant running back and forth makes it difficult for Trinidad and Tobago to limit him in position, when he arrives in the front court, Trinidad and Tobago will also have players to follow him, but the role is really limited, mainly because Zhang Tiehan's explosion is too strong, he starts with the defensive players, and often can leave the defenders behind as soon as he opens.

But they can't do anything.

The failure to make effective restrictions on Zhang Tiehan, it is conceivable what will happen to Trinidad and Tobago's defense, and in the 67th minute of the game, Zhang Tiehan received a pass on the left side of the penalty area and hit the goal again.

It was his third shot of the second half.

The shot was so powerful and at a tricky angle that goalkeeper Hislop could barely do anything about it as he watched the ball fly into the goal.

“Gooooooooooooooooooool！！！”

The English commentator shouted excitedly, "Zhang! Fourth ball! 4:0！ It was also Zhang's third goal in the tournament as he scored his first hat-trick at the World Cup. ”

To score a hat-trick at the World Cup is enough to celebrate.

Zhang Tiehan, who scored the goal, was very happy to hug and celebrate with his teammates, and the fourth goal, there will be basically no suspense in the game.

At the same time, Eriksen also began to look at the bench.

While the goal was celebrated, a number of cameras pointed over, and when they saw Eriksen's movements, everyone could guess what he was going to do.

Sure enough, after the game restarted, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the England team signaled a substitution, Zhang Tiehan and Gerrard were replaced, and they were replaced by Owen and Jenas.

With this substitution adjustment, the game also officially entered garbage time

England won 5-0 against Trinidad and Tobago, and after Zhang Tiehan and Steven Gerrard went off, David Beckham scored with a brilliant free-kick in a cutlass arc to score the fifth goal.

That's the end of the game.

After the game, the players of the two teams walked off the field separately, and as soon as they got off the field, Zhang Tiehan was pulled in front of the TV camera arranged by FIFA for an interview. He was joined by captain David Beckham, and the two walked over as they spoke.

The TV interviews arranged by FIFA can be seen in the stadium press center and on the television in the stadium press box, which is not very long, but it is the earliest interview that a journalist can get. Most of the reporters recorded it directly on the television.

The two stood together in front of the camera.

The interview is not fixed, but basically asks the players to talk about how they feel about the game. Beckham began by saying, "A lot of people said before the game that we wouldn't have too much pressure, but we will take all the games seriously and we sent a signal to everyone that we will try to take any game seriously. Trinidad and Tobago are good, York is my friend, we are rivals on the pitch but respect each other. We ended up very well. The fans have a lot of trust in us and they are very appreciative of our efforts. Now we have six points. There is a good chance of finishing first in the group. ”

Then it was Zhang Tiehan's turn, who smiled and stood next to Beckham and said, "I don't want to talk about the opponent, especially after our victory. Now it's time to talk about the next game, or the knockout round, I hope it's against Germany, and I want to play against a big team in the World Cup. Of course, Ecuador is not bad either."

Zhang Tiehan finished speaking. The two laughed and walked away.

Zhang Tiehan's words were recorded by many interview cameras, 'I hope the opponent is Germany', this sentence is quite powerful, which makes many media take a look at Zhang Tiehan again, after all, the average player wants the team to go further, and naturally does not want to meet a strong team in the top 16. Zhang Tiehan's words not only show that he hopes that the opponent is Germany, but also shows the confidence of the entire England team in this World Cup.

After leaving the FIFA interview camera, Zhang Tiehan returned to the locker room with Beckham, and the locker room was already very lively. Many of their teammates had already returned to shower and change clothes, and soon, ten minutes later, the two had already finished showering and changed, and then they had to attend a press conference with Eriksen.

At the press conference, FIFA official Kenton announced that Zhang Tiehan had been named the best player of the match by the FIFA Technical Committee and presented him with a small trophy.

Taking this opportunity, the reporters on the field can ask him three questions.

Zhang Tiehan was interviewed, and Beckham and Eriksen stood together for an interview, such an interview is nothing more than to repeat what he said in front of the FIFA camera before, Zhang Tiehan repeated it confidently, and finally said, "If you ask me about the team's goal, we naturally want to win the championship!" ”

He said conclusively.

On the other side, Beckham and Eriksen were also interviewed, and the two said a few words about the game, so it is inconvenient to talk about it, after all, England beat Trinidad and Tobago by five goals, and at this time they are talking about the game or something, which is like a kind of sarcasm for the opponent.

After the press conference, Zhang Tiehan and Beckham prepared to board the bus and go back to the England team's hotel, but Beckham still had to be interviewed, Zhang Tiehan thought about it, so he went with him, and they came to the mixed area where the text reporters were waiting, and the zigzag mixed area of dozens of meters enclosed by guardrails was the most serious challenge faced by the players after the game, because hundreds of reporters surrounded it.

At every few steps, they had to stop to be interviewed by layers of reporters and, of course, had to deal with requests for autographs from some reporters, especially tabloid reporters.

Zhang Tiehan is still the first time to feel the strength of reporters, every time he encounters this situation, he will almost rush out, the principle of these terrible guys, but this time with Beckham, he still stubbornly accepted interviews one by one, originally he still likes to tease reporters, say some morale-boosting words, but now those don't seem to matter, the important thing is to deal with reporters back and forth with repeated language.

It took at least half an hour to rush through the mixed zone of text reporters for several tens of meters.

In the end, Zhang Tiehan almost pulled Beckham to speed up his pace and hurriedly left the mixed area.

But getting through another door, surrounded by journalists, doesn't mean they're free, they're in a mixed zone of TV reporters, and many TV reporters and cameras are pointing at them. At this time, Zhang Tiehan wanted to leave directly, but when he saw Beckham tidying up his clothes and appearing with a good image, he could only take it seriously with a bitter face.

Then half an hour passed.

Now he really admires Beckham, he knows why Beckham is so popular in England, and almost all journalists and fans will love him. If you are interviewed so seriously in every game, your popularity will definitely rise quickly.

After leaving the "encirclement" of reporters, the two finally rushed out of the stadium, and there was a guardrail more than two meters high outside, but the fans who had been waiting for a long time still saw the shadow of the star in their minds through the gauze on the guardrail, so they shouted the names of Beckham and Zhang Tiehan.

A smart guy took off his jersey and threw it in the guardrail, asking the two to sign it, and the other fans followed suit. Throw in your tickets, clothes, magazines, and other items.

Zhang Tiehan wanted to leave directly, but Beckham waited in place, beckoned the police to bring the things over, and then he signed his name on them one by one, Zhang Tiehan could only do so, and then they called the police to throw out the signed items together, and all the fans outside - men, women and children, cheered together!

Only then can the two of them leave the bus that got into the team.

"Finally free," Zhang Tiehan let out a long breath. Many people in the car looked at them, especially Zhang Tiehan. With a smile on his face, you know, it's been two hours until the end of the game.

The buses have been waiting for an hour.

Zhang Tiehan recalled the experience just now, looked at Beckham with some reverence, and said, "David." I finally know why you're a heartthrob, but I don't think I'm fit to be a big star, I can't stand those interviews. ”

Beckham smiled, "A lot of times there is no way, those reporters have to interview, fans have to sign autographs. You can't just say no. ”

"But you can just leave"

"Then no reporter will like you." Beckham Road.

When fame reaches their level, they must care about their image in the public eye, Zhang Tiehan didn't care about it before, but since this summer, he has gradually understood this, their names will appear in various reports, if there is no image, fans will not pay too much attention to you, even if you are an international star.

Now in the England team, only Beckham and Zhang Tiehan can reach this level, and the others, such as Rooney and Gerrard, are much worse, Beckham is because of his fame, his fame is too big, and Zhang Tiehan is because of his worth, his value is too high, both of them have become the world's top public figures, and in terms of popularity, they can even be compared with those Hollywood stars.

To achieve this kind of process, the public image is very important.

After today's events, Zhang Tiehan suddenly felt that his future life was a little gloomy and became a world-class star, life is not only football and family, but also all kinds of interviews and activities for the sake of image, which were incidental in the past, but now they have become the main one.

Of course, there are benefits.

His income will definitely increase a lot, for example, Beckham's income can reach more than 30 million euros a year, only a small part of which is the salary offered by the club, and almost all the rest is commercial promotion.

Now Zhang Tiehan's annual income is less than 10 million euros, and the club's salary accounts for a large part.

That's the difference between the two.

Thinking that he will have the opportunity to earn tens of millions of euros a year in the future, Zhang Tiehan feels that the suffering and tiredness he suffers now is nothing, and that is really the income that a big star should have!

But that's later, after all.

At present, he is still concerned about his contract with Chelsea, according to the transfer process, the two heavenly brothers should negotiate the contract with Chelsea when they return to London, and they will sign it when the time comes.

As for the specific content of the contract, Zhang Tiehan almost had a draft in his heart.

Similar to the outside world's speculation, the contract offered by Chelsea will definitely have a weekly salary of no less than 160,000 pounds, and it is certain that he can get Chelsea's highest salary, but what the specific terms are, some details are still to be discussed.

Zhang Tiehan is most concerned about salary and business-related terms, which are the ones that affect his income the most, but he should be very generous to Chelsea, after all, they can give Ballack such a big contract, and it is impossible to be stingy when it comes to himself.

Thinking of these, Zhang Tiehan's mood was much better, and he felt that his future was bright...... (To be continued......)
