The problem of the forward line is Eriksen's biggest problem.

Rooney and Zhang Tiehan can't cooperate at all, if Owen can't participate in the game, then he has two options, one is to use a single striker, and to use Walcott, but Walcot has played, and there is nothing surprising about it, although Owen is not surprising, but he is a famous star after all, people will always expect a famous star to break out, and Owen also has a stable table.

Walcott was different.

He's just a young player, he can only be regarded as a player that Eriksen has cultivated for England, not a really strong star, he can't play at Arsenal at all, and he doesn't have a good performance at the club, let alone the England team.

If Walcott doesn't play well, the pressure on Eriksen will be very high, so the only option left for him is to have a striker.

This is an ambivalence for Eriksen.

Who to use as a single striker is the biggest problem, between Rooney and Zhang Tiehan, he can almost only choose to use Zhang Tiehan as a single striker, because Rooney is not good at the single striker position, which is well known, he is better at playing the second striker, and he can't play in the midfield, that is, if Owen is injured, Rooney will also be affected, he can almost only play as a substitute, or the right midfielder can also give him a position, but that will occupy the position of Beckham or Jenas.

In short, Owen's injury has had a big impact on the England team.

It's not just a matter of him alone, it's a problem with the whole team and Eriksen's tactics, so after the game, Eriksen found time to care about Owen's injury.

Judging from the situation at the scene, Owen's injuries were still full of seriousness, and he couldn't stand up at all when he was carried off the field, and his head was full of cold sweat. For players, it is not terrible to have a hard injury against an opponent in a game, but it is a soft tissue strain that occurs due to his own carelessness, and unfortunately, Owen's injury is likely to be the latter.

When he collided with the Swedes, the opponent didn't make a lot of movement. It seems that Owen fell to the ground by himself, and many replay videos show that the two only touched lightly, which was a collision of sleeves during the run, which did not cause any injuries at all, which can be seen from the referee who almost blew Owen for a fake fall at that time.

All eyes and TV images were focused on Irving, and fans around the world prayed for him along with the TV screen

There was only a few tens of centimeters away, but the painful Owen crawled for more than ten seconds, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured. The two team doctors of the England team were constantly communicating on the sidelines. Shaking his head constantly, when a team doctor's finger just touched Owen's right knee knee, Owen almost bounced off the ground like an electric shock, and at the same time let out a scream, and the team doctor immediately turned his head and signaled to get on the stretcher.

Owen was injured, and he was badly injured.

Lying on the stretcher, Owen covered his face with his hands, not wanting the fans to see his painful appearance, let alone seeing his sad tears.

Before the group stage, Owen vowed to win the Golden Boot. But so far he hasn't even scored a goal and hasn't found his form at all. He didn't want to leave like that, but he had to.

In the last season, Irving, who was recovering from injuries for most of the season, has already worried fans, and this time Irving is lying on a stretcher again, terrible injury, poor Irving. After the game, it was rumored that Owen had a cruciate ligament strain, which meant the end of his World Cup journey.

It didn't take long for Eriksen to get the general idea of Owen's injury, or at least he won't be able to play in the rest of the World Cup, with the FA also issuing a statement on its official website, saying the results of the scans showed. Owen will not be able to play for the rest of the tournament and will immediately return to England for treatment.

After a preliminary diagnosis, the team doctor believed that it was a cruciate ligament strain.

However, for this result, the team doctor cannot be sure. That evening, Owen was taken to the hospital in Cologne for a scan. Scans at the local hospital in Cologne showed that Owen was no longer available for the World Cup, and his right knee ligament was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, which would have taken him out of action for at least five months.

Owen's Newcastle Football Club has confirmed the news.

Following Owen's departure from the England squad, Newcastle Football Club will take over his treatment in full.

That night, the England team did not celebrate the victory, all the players went to the hospital to visit Owen, Gerrard, Beckham and other old players kept coming forward to talk to Owen, hoping that he could relax, but tears still couldn't help but flow from Owen's eyes.

Zhang Tiehan looked at this scene and was slightly touched.

A professional footballer

He can understand Owen's mood, leaving the World Cup like this, it is a very big blow to any player, you must know that this is Owen's third time participating in the World Cup, and the third time he participated in the World Cup, he got such a result, no goals in three games, and then the injury will even affect next season's game plus Owen actually just recovered from injury before the World Cup, and that injury was directly half a year, in addition to participating in three World Cups, most of the time was spent in recuperation.

But injuries can't help it.

After visiting Owen, the others had no choice but to leave and return to the hotel to continue their victory night, while Owen could only stay in the hospital and continue to be examined by the doctor.

The next day, Owen left Cologne Hospital on crutches, and many media reporters came to interview, Owen said, "Obviously it was a severe blow, he was injured, and he said goodbye to the World Cup." Soon after the accident, I realized that I was in big trouble. I'm disappointed, we had a very good result and I'd love to go for the win with everyone. ”

Speaking about the World Cup, Owen said firmly, "I believe my teammates will continue to go on until they succeed." I'll be watching all the games of England in the future, supporting you wholeheartedly and hopefully they will be in the final in Berlin. ”

Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville were among those who went to the Frankfurt hospital for scans on the day, with both of them showing positive results, with Ferdinand suspected injured in the match against Sweden yesterday, but yesterday's results confirmed that he had no problem playing in the quarter-finals.

Gary Neville has been injured before, but he will also be back on the England training pitch.

That's the good news.

In fact, injuries to the England team have been an issue. Before the start of the World Cup, Rooney almost missed the last train, but now Owen is leaving early. For England, this is definitely "bad news".

For Irving, the World Cup ended early, but life went on. Football careers also have to go on, so it is imperative that you actively treat and recover.

'I'm going home and then I'm going to rehab with the Newcastle team doctor. My main job now is to recover as much as possible for Newcastle in the Premier League next season. ”

In the face of this result, England coach Eriksen is also helpless, Owen's departure is really a heavy blow to the England team, and it has also affected his tactical arrangement a lot, and he now regrets not calling up more strikers in the first place, so that now the forward line is somewhat unavailable. But in the face of reporters, he still didn't talk about the team's problems, just talked about Irving, "Irving's luck is so bad, since last Christmas, he has been very unlucky. Now he can't go back to the World Cup and I feel very sorry for him. To him, to the whole England team. It's all a hard blow. But I'm sure Owen will try to recover and get back on the field as much as possible. for Newcastle and England. He's a true professional with a strong will. For Owen's sake, I want England to succeed in Germany. ”

At the 1998 World Cup in France, the 18-year-old Owen swept through Argentina's defence in front of the world and scored the best goal of the tournament.

In the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Owen scored the first goal in the match between England and Brazil. Unfortunately, the team was eventually reversed by the Samba Army, and Owen was unable to go further.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the former wind chaser did not escape the clutches of injury after a metatarsal fracture and rapid recovery, and left on the eve of the team's group qualification and the knockout round.

Many people are thinking about it, and it's 2010. Can Owen, who is over 30 years old, still appear in the World Cup?

A lot of people talk about it, but former England boss Vinables thinks it might be a good thing for England.

"A lot of people think that losing Owen would be worse for England. But in my opinion, this is not necessarily a bad thing. If Eriksen can make some changes, a bad thing could turn into a good thing. ”

"Judging by the table in the first two games, Owen is clearly not in shape. He has no other use on the field than shooting, not to mention that he doesn't have many chances to shoot. There is no such "single-role" player position in modern football, so it doesn't matter if you don't have Owen. ”

This time, Eriksen only brought four strikers: Owen, Chang, Wayne Rooney, and 17-year-old substitute Theo Walcott. Without Owen and Rooney's form, Eriksen has no choice but two options: either use Theo Walcott or abandon the 4-4-2 formation he has been clinging to and make it 4-5-1. ”

"The biggest advantage of changing the formation is that with Hargreaves, a diligent "sapper" in the midfield, Lampard and Gerrard can step forward without worries, especially when Zhang is in very good shape, Lampard and Gerrard and Zhang are the "trident" that the England team can still count on, and the impact of the three of them can no team ignore. ”

Venables' statement has been affirmed by many media and experts.

England has three full games in the group stage, although the results are very good, but the overall table of the team is not very good, basically relying on Zhang Tiehan's personal performance to win, but it is good to say that it is good to play against a small team, and it will be very passive to face a strong team, as long as the England team cannot achieve a suppressive situation, if it is suppressed by the opponent, Zhang Tiehan's personal ability will not help, because the opponent will have more chances, and they are likely to score more goals than England.

If you can use the 451 formation, let Frank Lampard and Gerrard connect, and thread the needle to make the team play better as a whole, they two plus Zhang Tiehan, the 'trident' formed by the three is enough to face any opponent

In the media discussion about England's next style of play, the England players were given two days off and plenty of time to play against Ecuador, with England's matches scheduled for the third matchday, and the gap between the group stage and the knockout stage was five days, that is. England have more than a week to prepare for the round of 16.

In this way, naturally the players have a holiday.

Although Eriksen told a lot of things, such as not to drink too much, not to go to bed late to maintain physical fitness, etc., everyone is still very relaxed, and many players choose to play in Germany with their girlfriends.

The same goes for Zhang Tiehan.

On the first day of vacation, he found his parents. He and Lola had lunch with their parents, originally he wanted to stay with his parents in the afternoon, as a son, he should do his filial piety, and go around with Zhang Dabao and Jiang Chen, it was a very beautiful family life.

It's just that soon he doesn't think so.

His idea was very good, but Zhang Dabao and Jiang Chen didn't accept it very much, the two of them were sweet together, sweeter than Zhang Tiehan and Lola, it felt like the two of them had become light bulbs. In this regard, Zhang Tiehan could only smile bitterly with a black line on his face.

He has his life, and his parents have his parents' life.

When he grew up and left his parents, it was two families, although it was a little difficult to understand this, but this is the truth, European families are like this, when he first crossed over, he didn't understand it very well. But now that he sees his parents sweetly together, that kind of romance makes him a little envious. Then he felt that he didn't have to do anything with his parents.

Let's go!

In the end, Zhang Tiehan chose to stay with Lola for an afternoon.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Lola was also with him, and rested in the hotel for one night, and the next day he was called away by Zhang Meiling and others, and Lola went out with Victoria and others, and a group of women Zhang Tiehan didn't want to participate. Especially the members of the wife group, it is really not easy to get along, these women are not virtuous at all, and it is unimaginable that they even fought with German fans the day before yesterday, Zhang Tiehan felt that Lola and Victoria were together. It's estimated that he will learn badly, but he can't help it, he can't be with Lola by himself, and he won't let her have other friends.

In the end, Zhang Tiehan still went out with Zhang Meiling and others.

Zhang Zhenren is no longer there, he has been dealing with some commercial endorsements for Zhang Tiehan with Camille in England, so Zhang Meiling feels very free, she doesn't dare to get close to Zhou Yang with her brother, and now without Zhang Zhenren, Zhang Meiling is not afraid of Zhang Tiehan at all.

Because he has Zhang Tiehan's handle

For example, his relationship with Lucia, and at the same time he also dated Lola, but Zhang Tiehan didn't care about this at all, he knew very well that Lola knew that there must be other women in her private life, and Lola also mentioned it, but thinking that the two would get married soon, maybe Lola didn't break it, so Zhang Tiehan felt that he loved Lola more, and how many such women could be found in the world.

As for Lucia, it is impossible to say that she doesn't care at all, but Zhang Tiehan likes her but is not the kind of love that has a hard list, he knows the difference between liking and loving.

But how can a man refuse this?

He couldn't say it, and he didn't want to do that, so on this day, Zhang Tiehan played with Zhang Meiling and others for a day, and even did something with Lucia in the private room of the hotel halfway.

In the evening, when several people returned to the hotel, Zhang Tiehan left again.

Tomorrow he has to train again, and he has to return to the team in the evening to return to the team's hotel, at this time Zhang Tiehan feels a little tired, he is almost running around during the two-day vacation, and he has to deal with two women and a sister in short, it is quite busy.

When he returned to the hotel where the team was located, he lay silently on the bed and closed his eyes, only then did he feel a kind of leisure, maybe he needed a dull life more?

Maybe.

After going through so much, he suddenly felt that he was more suitable for blandness.

But this is also when you are tired, think about it, after all, people have different ideas in different environments, if they are alone with Lucia, he will definitely not think so, Zhang Tiehan understands this feeling very well, he can control his thoughts.

In this way, he soon fell into a dream.

I don't know what time it is at night, I heard a knock on the door in a daze, Zhang Tiehan opened the door dimly, and saw Lola plunged into her arms, her face was flushed, and her whole body smelled of alcohol.

More than ten minutes passed. She's feeling better.

Zhang Tiehan helped Lola take a bath, while cursing in his heart that Victoria and other 'shrews' would bring his Lola badly, but he could only help serve his future wife, and after more than half an hour, after a qiē cleanup, he helped Lola cover the quilt and prepare for bed.

It was already past three o'clock.

After a few more hours of rest, it's time to go to training. Zhang Tiehan was really tired, he fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while, and he didn't know when, he woke up again, looked out the window and it was still dark, about five o'clock, and Lola next to him didn't know what to say.

"I'm talking in my dreams again." Zhang Tiehan smiled, turned on the lamp and looked at Lola's little face, and couldn't help but kiss her forehead.

"Kai Me"

Zhang Tiehan shook his head. Leaned down to listen to Lola's mouth.

"Kate, I'm happy to be married to you, but I'm Kate Kate," Lola kept muttering a name in her mouth.

"Kate?" Zhang Tiehan frowned.

It sounds like a woman's name, but it's okay for a man to be called Kate, who the hell is this? Zhang Tiehan couldn't help but turn black when he thought about it, his wife always called other people's names in the middle of the night, it was really unacceptable to think about this kind of thing.

He kept looking at Lola.

Just watched it all the time, and his mind was a little cloudy, even though he had other women outside, but if Lola had other men. That must not be acceptable! It sounds unfair, but it's just the way it is. He has always believed that men are family-oriented, and no matter what he does, he will think about Lola, but women may not be able to do it.

It's not sexist, it's true.

He can't tolerate it at all!

Zhang Tiehan felt that his brain was very messy, he didn't know how time passed, so he kept thinking about it. Until dawn, until Lola opened her eyes.

He kept that motion, and he didn't move.

He couldn't accept this result, so when he saw Lola open her eyes, he asked as soon as he saw it. "Who is Kate?"

"Huh?"

"I ask you, who is Kate?" Zhang Tiehan's face was very solemn, and his tone was quite strict, it was the first time he had spoken to Lola like this.

Lola's face immediately changed.

Zhang Tiehan still had that expression, he was very sad, but he still endured the heartache and asked again word by word, "Who is Kate!" ”

Lola sat up from the bed, looked down and asked, "Zhang, Zhang, how do you know Kate ......?"

"You've been calling that name last night." Zhang Tiehan's face became even more indifferent.

Lola's eyes were a little dodgy, she was a little scared when she saw Zhang Tiehan's appearance, it was the first time she saw Zhang Tiehan's angry appearance, Zhang Tiehan was kind and warm on weekdays, as if he was never angry, always smiling, but now he was like a volcano about to erupt, Lola knew that he was really angry.

She took the big hands and pouted, "A friend of mine." ”

"Male or female?"

"Female."

"Huh" Zhang Tiehan exhaled for a long time, which was considered to be a temporary relaxation, not that he believed in Lola, Lola herself would not lie, he knew Lola very well, he could still see if he was lying after getting along for so long, and the name Kate, there are really few men who call it that, and she is a woman when she hears it.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Tiehan felt a lot more relieved.

It's good to be a woman! It's good to be a woman!

However, he was still a little strange, how could Lola sleep and keep calling a woman's name, even if it was a friend, and Zhang Tiehan never knew that she had a friend named Kate, he still wanted to ask clearly.

Although he exhaled a long breath, he did not laugh, and his face remained indifferent. He just looked at Lola and wanted to hear her say something about Kate.

Lola's eyes were still dodgy.

She seemed to be entangled for a long time, a long time, I don't know how long, just when Zhang Tiehan felt impatient, Lola said embarrassedly, "I said, you must not be angry." ”

Zhang Tiehan nodded.

The story of a woman making friends with a woman, he couldn't think of anything to be angry about.

So Lola spoke slowly.

Zhang Tiehan listened to the beginning and end of the story, his closed mouth grew bigger and bigger, and finally the corners of his mouth completely turned into a wry smile, helplessness and disbelief, he didn't know what kind of mood he was in. (To be continued......)
