Chapter 144: Five-Five-Five
"Marca" broke a piece of news, Real Madrid infighting! This time, the conflict is not between the factions of the players, but between the manager and the players, and even ...... Appeared between two Portuguese - José Mourinho and Luis Figo.
In fact, earlier, some Spanish media broke the news that Mourinho was dissatisfied with Figo's slow-paced style of play, and he asked for a concise and fast attack. Coincidentally, in the Champions League, Real Madrid lost 0:3 away to Juventus, and the right flank composed of Figo and Ferreira was blown up by Piero and Nedved, and Mourinho pointed directly at Figo in the dressing room.
Sure enough, in the next league, Figo entered the bench, and Beckham officially became the first brother on the right side of Real Madrid. In summary, Figo did leave Real Madrid for Inter Milan in the summer of 2005, and the history is always strikingly similar.
Fortunately, Kaka does not seem to have been "harassed" by Real Madrid, whether it is on the training ground or on the playing field, he has shown a very high state.
On 13 March, the FA Cup kicked off again with Chelsea at home to north London powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur. At the end of the 90 minutes, Kaka scored two goals through two scuffles in the penalty area, and Roy Keane scored with a wonderful long-range shot, and the final score was fixed at 3:0.
Interestingly, the rules of the FA Cup are that if the first leg is drawn, the second leg will be played at home for an extra round. But here at Chelsea, there is no concept of a second leg at all, and it is decided directly by one game.
Chelsea play West Bromwich Albion in the 28th round of the Chelsea Supplementary League on 16 March. On March 19, the 30th round of the league will be played against Crystal Palace.
Three games a week is definitely a test of the players' fitness and willpower. Fortunately, Chelsea have always pursued a rotation policy, and there are not many injuries in the squad, so the use of players is not so stretched.
It's just a little strange, in 3 consecutive games, Rooney, Lampard, and Terry started every game, and played 90 minutes every game, even if the English have strong willpower, is it iron?
In the 28th round of the league, Kaka, Cannavaro and Ramos entered the rotation, but Chelsea still swept West Bromwich Albion 6-0. One of them started the game, using the No. 1 Guissa to score a hat-trick, substitute Fernando Torres completed the pass, and Van der Vaart and Duff also made contributions.
However, despite these good news, Rooney, who has been extremely firepower recently, has decisively dumbfounded, and Lampard's form is not optimistic!
In the 30th round of the league on March 19, Chelsea hosted Crystal Palace and once again presented a goal feast for the fans, another six! Back in the starting line-up, Kaka scored twice, Grosso scored from a free-kick, Sergio Ramos headed home from a corner, substitute Guiza continued his red-hot form to score a goal and Cech scored from the spot-kick.
It is worth mentioning that Rooney, who has been fighting continuously, is free and in poor condition; Comparatively speaking, the central defender Terry, who ran to a smaller range and lost less energy, was in good shape, completing 5 tackles and 63 passes in the whole game, with a pass success rate of 91.6%; As for the other Englishman, Frank Lampard......
In the 64th minute of the second half, he went off with a severe thigh cramp......
After the game, according to the team doctor's report, it was Frank Lampard's physical overdraft that caused a thigh strain, and he was out for at least half a month!
Hearing this, Qiao Wan was idle...... Almost laughed!
Whoa, the goal has been achieved!
Today, March 19, after the end of the league, members of the national teams will train to prepare for the Shijie Cup qualifiers, and will not be able to return until at least April 1. In other words, Frank Lampard will be out of the national team! And when it was time for the club game, he just returned from injury.
Qiao Wan was embarrassed to open his mouth with Rooney and Terry to let the two of them release water, which led to a draw or defeat for the England team, but this does not mean that the shameless Joe Cannon has given up his tricks! Owen is still recovering from injury in the United States, this time there is another Frank Lampard, Eriksson, are you not finished?
Erikson's England team's attacking ability has been criticized by the media and fans, and in the 2006 Shijie Cup, he relied on Beckham's two free-kicks to complete two goals, and relied on two 1:0 games to stumble into the quarterfinals.
Can Beckham still be like a god every day? What's more, Beckham is now in an awkward position at Real Madrid.
After Frank Lampard's injury, Qiao Wanxian immediately sent him a message of concern, and the Chelsea deputy was touched by a thousand words of greeting.
However, England coach Erikson heard that Lampard was injured, and he was furious, and in front of reporters, he arbitrarily accused Qiao Wanxian, saying that he misused people, saying that he murdered England!
Qiao Wanxian heard this sentence in an interview with the media, and immediately pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan, two games, both are at home, even if the pig leads England to win!" I don't know what the Swedes are about IQ, but Eriksson ...... Hmph, I can't pull out and complain that the earth has no gravity! ”
Time flies, and it is March 26, 2005.
The match between England vs Northern Ireland in the sixth group of the Shijie Cup qualifiers in Europe was played as scheduled at Old Trafford.
There was a regular war of words with the manager before the game, but this time it was a bit special, not a battle between the managers of England and Northern Ireland, but a clash between Erikson and Jován, who, until a moment before the game, was still concerned about Jovan's overuse of Frank Lampard and causing him to be injured.
However, in 2005, the England squad was a golden generation, without Owen and Frank Lampard, and still produced a luxury squad worth more than 200 million pounds.
England are still in the same old-fashioned 4-4-2 formation.
The goalkeeper is Paul Robinson from Tottenham, who has been in hot form recently, and has been praised by legendary goalkeepers such as Seaman and Hilton in succession, and successfully squeezed James into the position.
The defenders from right to left are Gary Neville, Ferdinand, John Terry, and Ashley Cole, which is a backline composed of Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, three of the Premier League's strongest defensive cores, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Shijie's first backline.
Looking at the midfield, the right midfielder is captain David Beckham, and the left midfielder is Joe Cole. Following Frank Lampard's injury, Eriksson replaced him with Hargreaves and partnered Steven Gerrard. Hargreaves is the heart of Bayern Munich's midfield at this stage, and his performance is even more eye-catching than Ballack.
Up front, Wayne Rooney, who has the momentum of Shijie's first striker, is in the top spot, and Defoe is ambushed behind him.
Such a starting list, as early as three days ago, was expected by the media. Sure enough, the first layer of Eriksson remained the same, only the alignment adjustment.
Today's Old Trafford stadium is no longer a sea of red, and fans from all over England are mostly in casual clothes, except for a group of diehards in white England jerseys in the south stand.
Before the game started, loud singing was already ringing in the stadium.
On the commentary seat, there was an uninvited guest sitting today. Or rather, a man who is disgusted at Old Trafford - Joan Wanxian!
Qiao Wanxian has watched countless times in his past and present lives, and it is the first time he has stepped on this commentary seat, and he was also a little excited for a while, touching this and moving that, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
The BBC is the most watched TV channel in the UK, with an annual budget of £800 million for BBC1 alone! Moreover, the BBC TV channel has no commercials, and all the cost income is based on the TV license fee, which can greatly improve the enjoyment of the enjoyment. Similarly, on the commentary seat, Qiao Wanxian and his commentary partner Mai Kaisling also occupied the most haode position.
After a brief moment of curiosity, the two grabbed their headsets and began a brief pre-match conversation.
"Hello spectators, England's Shijie Cup European qualifier against Northern Ireland is about to kick off at Old Trafford. Today, we are fortunate to invite Mr. Qiao Wanxian, the youngest and most talented coach in the world, as a guest commentator, I believe that everyone can enjoy the wonderful game at the same time, listen to the most professional, the most concise and the most accurate on-site commentary. ”
After McKaysling's opening remarks, Qiao Wanxian said in an unusually thick and magnetic voice: "Hello friends, I am Qiao Wanxian." I'm glad to be able to explain this game to you, and I hope you will learn something from my teachings. ”
McKelling smiled with interest: "Mr. Wan Xian, what are you mainly referring to?" Do you want to learn to be a head coach? ”
Qiao Wan smiled casually: "Of course not, being a head coach is not as enjoyable as being a fan." I mean, the audience can learn some philosophy of life from my commentary, of course, after all, not everyone is Newton, and an apple can come up with something tricks by smashing it on the head. ”
McKaysling's face changed slightly, this Qiao cannon, come up and fire!
He cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Wan Xian is so funny. Okay, the game will start soon, Mr. Wan Xian, before the game, can you give us a brief analysis, the comparison of the strength of the two sides? Hehe, of course you are a professional head coach, don't say too professional, we can't understand, hmm...... It's best to show it with some clear data. ”
"Strength comparison?" Qiao Wan smiled faintly, "Let's open five or five." ”
"What?" McKaysling exclaimed.
Are you kidding me? We are England, England who aspire to win the Shijie Cup! Playing with a fish belly Northern Ireland, still five or five? That's too alarmist, isn't it?
The corners of Qiao Wanxian's mouth twitched.
The sixth group is a weak team except for Northern Ireland, Austria, Poland, Azerbaijan, Northern Ireland, and Wales. However, against these teams, Eriksson led a strong England, first to a draw with Austria and then to Northern Ireland, and almost entered the play-offs again as in '02.
In the previous game, England won at home against Northern Ireland when Owen and Frank Lampard were both healthy, but lost away. Now that the England team is missing the two cores of Owen and Lampard, coupled with Rooney's repeated battles, he is physically exhausted and in extremely poor form, can Eriksson lead the team to win?
Qiao Wan was idle and gambling.
