Five hundred and seventy-nine, flicker
"It's over! The game is over! England are in the last four again after two decades! Final Four! β
Mortenson roared wildly!
England have not had such an impactful result in the last two decades at the World Cup, the last time was in Italy, and they didn't even appear in the group in '94.
Despite the aura of the world's champions, no one treats England as a real rival anymore.
In the eyes of the world, England has been reduced to a team that can compete in the second-rate team, and every time England fans are full of hope for the future, it can always bring sadness to the fans.
This time it's different, England have made it to the last four, which is sure to be a great achievement!
"Thank you Lynn! He is a treasure that the Lord has given England! β
Mortenson sticks to his Lynn fan stance, especially when Lineker, the star who led the Three Lions to the semi-finals in '90, spoke out about Lynn's impressions.
"Long live Englandββββ
"Hooray! Lynn!! β
England fans also shouted almost the same slogans everywhere.
After the referee's whistle, Lynn walked to the Yongdaokou, and he was ready to shake hands with Tavares, and it was time to pay attention to some level and gentlemanly demeanor.
But his wish was disappointed, and Tavares walked briskly into the corridor, forgetting what friendly scene to show.
Lynn saw it clearly, shrugged, and didn't stop, he wanted to go back to the locker room, and now he desperately wanted to smoke one by himself.
"Hey, Boss"
Lynn heard a familiar and distant voice, 'It's Fran!' β
Turn around. Sure enough, yes.
Fran was topless with a white jersey over his shoulders. It seems that someone has already changed shirts for him.
"Diego?"
There was a warm current in Lynn's heart, and he enjoyed the friendliness of his former players. Stretching out his arm, he grabbed Fran and whispered and comforted Fran.
England still have their campaign to go, but Fran's World Cup is over.
Now that Forlan is 31 years old, it will be difficult for him to play in the World Cup again, and there is no possibility that Forlan will continue to occupy the position of Uruguay in the talented South American football world.
Maybe he can continue to play for Uruguay, but the World Cup? It's too hard.
The reporters finally rushed over. But they were disappointed that Tavares was running too fast and they didn't have a chance, and Lynn was even more cunning, hooking up with Fran and walking into the players' tunnel
Many commentators from neutral countries are still smashing up, believing that England really took shit luck and avoided recognized strong teams along the way.
Such a view is unacceptable to the proud English, who are the birthplace of modern football and the winners of the World Cup in '66. Of course, there has been no success since then, but England is different now, and perhaps the opponent is not strong enough. But which team is the best match in the big game?
So, England fans are disgusted by the disparagement of England.
No matter what the case may be. The reality is that England are in the last four!
Looking at the appearance of Uruguayans as if they were mourning for the exam, you can see that Uruguayans are actually still thinking about promotion.
But Uruguay has been eliminated!
That's what it was after 90 minutes. England remain in the World Cup.
The post-match stats were even more overwhelming, with England leading the way in the number of dangerous shots on goal and the number of effective tackles and successful passes. It's never something that luck can bring.
"Uruguay is home! In fact, it is also a relief, in today's game, the Uruguayans did not have any chances, they were always under the pressure of England, and it is unfair to England to talk about luck at this time! β
"Now we can think about the Dutch!!"
Don't look at the Netherlands, known as the uncrowned king in the world football circle, with a coveted group of stars, and the all-attack and defense are even more popular in the world.
But in front of the England team, they really can't be proud.
Since '82, the Netherlands have only won England once, and that was a friendly. In terms of overall record, England also has the advantage of six wins, eight draws and four losses.
The cheers of the England fans were still there, but the media's focus had shifted to the semi-finals, and they began to lay out the stats in an attempt to prove that the Dutch were no match for England, who happened to be the nemesis.
In Lynn's opinion, such a comparison is really meaningless, but it is too boring for the media not to do so.
The key is whether England can continue the tradition when it comes to the game.
When Lynn returned to the locker room after a long absence, the English fans in the stands outside were reluctant to leave for a long time, but the Uruguayan fans left in frustration, which made the local police breathe a sigh of relief.
They were worried that the grandfathers of England would make some kind of moth.
At the post-game press conference, Lynn was frightened by a large number of microphones in front of her as soon as she walked in.
There are too many.
The reporters didn't ask any questions about the Uruguay game, the tactics of the game may have been wonderful, and England played a few beautiful counter-attacks, but overall, the game was not very high, and nothing attracted attention, so they focused on the semi-finals, the Netherlands.
"I'm glad the players got a great win and I'm happy to be able to qualify for the last four!" Lynn felt like she didn't really have anything to say.
He's got a picture of how the game against Holland is going to go, but he can't say anything about it.
Seeing that Lynn was not interested, the reporters could only turn their attention to Gerrard, the captain on the field today, "Steven, congratulations on your victory, what do you expect from the game in the Netherlands?" β
'There's no reason for us to give up, England have the quality to win against any opponent, including the Netherlands.' Gerald expressed his attitude categorically.
Lynn sat on the sidelines and watched the play, and he agreed with Gerald's words, and applauded lightly a few times, and it was this time. If the players don't have the confidence to challenge strong opponents, the game won't be played.
'Will England play like this in the next game?'
Gerald was about to open his mouth to answer the question. But was stopped by Lynn's voice, "I'm sorry. When the time comes, our players are tired and they need to go back to rest, and that's the end of the interview!! β
The reporters at the scene rolled their eyes, this guy didn't know what was crazy about it, what was unhappy, and the press conference was about to end again.
Lynn didn't care what they thought, pulled Gerald and squeezed out, and reporters kept asking questions along the way. But he turned a blind eye to them until he entered the forbidden place guarded by guards.
Gerard asked Lynn why he was doing this.
"We are the winners." Lynn raised an eyebrow.
This answer made Gerald cry and laugh, what a reason.
"Alright, Chief, you're up to the shot." Gerald had no choice but to surrender, it wasn't worth it for this little thing.
The reporters at the press conference naturally didn't know how they offended Lynn, and they couldn't understand what Lynn wanted. Just asked directly about the next event, of course Lynn was not happy.
It's not comfortable yet, since the reporters dare to play like this, Lynn is not welcome. it.
Gerald certainly couldn't have guessed that Lynn would have a childish temper at this time, or he would have been bubbling with joy.
Seeing that Gerald stopped talking, Lynn quickly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him. "Don't worry, wait until we win again. Let you say a good thing! β
Gerald hurriedly waved his hand, "No"
He's not interested in dealing with a large group of journalists
The joy of reaching the last four was not just jubilant for England. It made the British raise their eyebrows even more.
Although the media was unhappy with Lynn's cherished words, they could only pinch their noses and admit it, and continue to sing praises for Lynn and his team.
There is one thing that Lynn says is incomprehensible, he is the winner.
But the atmosphere in the England squad is tense again, and Rooney's situation is not good.
Rooney was diagnosed with a fractured toe bone in April, was reimbursed at the most critical time of the season, and after emergency treatment, he finally returned to the field just in time for the start of the World Cup.
Lynn has also been careful with the use of Wayne Rooney, who has left England without a few reliable strikers.
But after the game against Uruguay, the team doctor told Lynn the news that Rooney had a sore toe bone.
It's a real headache, the injury may not be serious, it's just a fractured bone, but if it is not treated well, the result will be training, playing, injury, recovery, retraining, replaying, re-injury until Rooney finally has to end his career early.
"It's better to take an X-ray to make sure." The team doctor advised.
Lynn was a little embarrassed, not because of how big the film was, but because of the pervasive media, they could render an otherwise ordinary thing into earth-shattering news, which would then affect the morale of the whole team.
"Local hospital?"
The team doctor nodded helplessly, he couldn't carry the X-ray machine.
"Talk to the FA, communicate with the hospital, and try to avoid exposure"
Lynn eventually accepted the advice of the team doctor, and he did not dare to be stubborn or take things lightly when it came to Rooney's career.
Although it may be exposed, it is worth it for Rooney's future, and he also wants to reassure himself, after all, there are still two games left.
It seemed that seeing Lynn's concern, the team doctor still pretended to be relaxed and said, "Although it is likely to be dangerous, I don't think the problem is too big, so don't worry about anything."
The team won, and Lynn also generously gave the team a day off, which is a kind of reward, always trapping them in everything, and it is also a little inhumane
With two games to go, the big battle between Argentina and Germany touched the hearts of fans around the world, but the result was a big surprise, Maradona's rhetoric did not give the Argentines any advantage, but instead collapsed, losing 0-4, really disappointing those who wanted to see a good matchup.
Maradona also gloomily announced that he would leave class, and Lynn didn't care about Argentina's problems.
England stayed in Johannesburg for an extra day for Rooney's business.
They will be back in Cape Town for the next game, and Lynn thinks the all-pervasive reporters should have rushed to Cape Town to wait, and Johannesburg should be quiet.
A very ordinary car quietly drove out of the station in England. The destination is Johannesburg Municipal Hospital, the largest hospital in South Africa.
According to the plan. Regardless of Rooney's findings, the whole squad will leave Johannesburg at four o'clock in the afternoon. Head to the next station, Cape Town, to prepare for the semi-final against the Netherlands.
In order to make it smooth, the FA even commissioned local embassy staff to help contact the hospital.
The examination went well, and the results also made Lynn feel glad that Rooney's toe bone was not cracked, and as for the pain, it was just a normal problem and did not affect Rooney's continued competition.
Lynn is in a good mood and if he loses his main striker at the most critical time, it will be a big blow to England.
Of course. The doctor still advises that in the last two or three days, Rooney should try not to play strenuous sports with the ball to avoid any accidents.
Lynn doesn't care about this, Rooney's state is fine, it doesn't matter if he needs to participate in the team's joint practice, as long as he can play, there is no problem.
Because in the England team, Rooney is definitely an important chess piece, and his position is very special. The main thing is that there is no one to replace him.
Carroll's strength is not bad, but compared to Rooney's role, it is still much worse.
If it's just the group stage, Lynn can be completely indifferent. But it's already in the semi-finals, and no one can guarantee anything, even if Rooney can play, Lynn can't beat the Netherlands.
Rooney's presence would have made the Dutch careless. At least his deterrent power is that there is no substitute in the England team.
The team that can break into the semi-finals of the World Cup, who dares to say that they are not in good shape. That's, England doesn't have any capital to say who it can winn.
So. Wayne Rooney is important for England at the moment.
Lynn decided to take the doctor's advice, and the rest of the training was only for Rooney to do regular strength training, and not for him to participate in the team's joint practice.
Of course, Rooney was also relieved, he was worried that he would not be able to continue the game, and that would definitely not be able to withstand the blow to him.
Hearing Lynn say that he will not be arranged to practice with the ball in the future, Rooney also agreed, he is not willing to take this risk, and he also wants to continue his World Cup journey.
Packing home meant that he could lose the closest chance to the world.
England already had some ideas about the team being able to lift the Hercules Cup, and they didn't dare to think so much at first, but they have reached the semi-finals, and without ideas, it is impossible.
In private communication, the players also knew that after this tournament, Lynn would definitely leave the England team, not to say how much they admired Lynn, but the players formed an understanding, that is, after leaving Lynn, it would be difficult for England to impact the championship like South Africa.
And the next time you have to wait four years, the players' careers are very short, you can have a few four years, and then it will be difficult to come back like this year.
After talking to Rooney, Lynn was going to go back here, but Koppel came to tell Lynn that there was already a large crowd of reporters outside the clinic.
Lynn frowned, things were a little annoying, he had actually thought about the secrecy work this time, but something went wrong.
Needless to say, someone on the embassy side must have leaked the news.
"Damn" Lynn couldn't help but curse in a low voice, fortunately Rooney didn't have anything to do, otherwise it would have caused the whole team to fall into a panic, so how would the semifinals be played.
Through the crack in the door, Lynn glanced at the dense group of reporters, rolled his eyes, and pulled the team doctor over, "Bandage Wayne, it's better to be thicker"
The team medic rolled his eyes, and he understood that Lynn was going to take the opportunity to release the smoke bomb.
"But the doctor inside" The team doctor pointed to the doctor in the clinic just now, people will not cooperate with England, and the reporters will definitely ask them to confirm something.
"It doesn't matter! Whatever they say. Lynn smiled lightly, the water is muddy, as long as there is no chaos in his team, let the Dutch toss.
"Hey, Wayne, try this crutch, and if you act well, I recommend you go to Hollywood"
By the time Lynn and the others walked out of the consultation room, the reporters couldn't wait to rush over and pour their questions and contracts to them.
"Has Rooney relapsed?"
"Will it affect his future games?"
"Coach John, what are your plans if Rooney can't play?"
"Is Rooney's World Cup over?"
The hospital's security guards had already been staffed, and they had already been tasked with protecting Lynn's group from leaving.
"Okay, I'll answer the question, you get out of the way and let them get in the car." Lynn's face was helpless, as if he had compromised.
The reporters knew that they couldn't annoy this guy, he could do anything, and since he promised to answer the question, it would be no problem.
So the reporters got out of the way, and Rooney and the others, under the protection of the security guards, went straight to the parking lot.
Rooney was on crutches and kept himself from laughing, so the expression on his face was strange, and in the eyes of the reporters, it seemed to be very sad.
Someone with a heart has already secretly pointed the camera lens at Rooney.
Lynn was worried that Rooney would not act well, and his expression was equally solemn, but he didn't know that his expression was also being noticed, and the reporters had already made their own judgments.
"This time it was just a review for Wayne and it turned out to be good, semi-finals? No problem, Wayne Rooney is available, of course, it depends on his form, and in my team the form of the players is the only thing that determines who starts'
Lynn naturally ignored the reporters' look of disbelief and stated the facts very seriously.
"Then plaster cast and crutches" The reporters were very dissatisfied with Lynn's shamelessness in talking nonsense with his eyes open, everyone saw it, and they were still fooling, really taking the reporters for fools?
Lynn shrugged and said seemingly casually, "That's just precautionary"
Devils believe it.
This time the reporters didn't embarrass Lynn, they all said so, and it was no fun to ask again, Lynn left, but the reporters didn't leave, they had a new goal, the doctor.
But the result made them extremely angry, these doctors are also bastards, they are really tight-lipped, and they are all bastards just like Lynn said!
Anyway, we'll report according to the facts.
For a while, the news that 'Rooney is seriously injured and will miss the rest of the game' suddenly became a big news on the planet.
There are pictures and truths, and believers account for the vast majority. (To be continued......)
