Five hundred and fifty-four, abolish their martial arts
Don't look at Croatia has seriously hurt England, but, in Lynn's eyes, Croatia has never been a strong team, even if they have been short-lived in the World Cup in the United States, they are not able to draw an equal sign with a real strong team.
Therefore, Lynn is not worried about the away game against Croatia.
In the group stage, it was Ukraine that could barely be regarded as an opponent.
At least Lynn takes Ukraine more seriously in her heart.
When it comes to Kiev, that's the real tough battle that will test this England team.
The media's view of Group F is that of Croatia vs. England, and Ukraine is not in sight, but Lynn believes that anyone who holds this view will be humiliated by the final result.
Unlike previous incoordination, Lynn no longer shy away from talking about it during the regular press conference, instead highlighting several Croatian players in the interview.
For example, strikers Kovac and Olich, midfielders Modric and Rakitic, defenders Kovac and Simunic, etc., Lynn believes that they are all first-class players.
'I haven't coached any of these players, but I've looked at them and they're all good players with the ability to play in big clubs, and playing against them will be a big challenge for England'
The implication is that Croatia are a real powerhouse.
Such an attitude made the English journalists a little unhappy, and naturally, the Croatian media were smiling.
They thought Lynn was a smart person who knew the times, and they didn't hate it that much.
"Revenge?"
Naturally, the term was the focus of attention for journalists in England. It's a pity that Lynn didn't get on the set at all.
At the mention of this revenge, Lynn smiled and shook his head, "This is my third game in charge, and in my career, I haven't had any intersection with Croatia, it's really far-fetched to say that revenge is a new beginning for me, and it's an extremely stupid idea to carry the burden of history on my back."
Throughout the press conference, Lynn was very amiable and seemed to be in harmony.
The game is like a normal football game. Nothing to fuss about.
But what about the facts?
On the training ground in England. It's still the same closed training.
Lynn's roar rang out from the sidelines.
"Don't say I won't give you a chance!"
"Everybody is telling me that you are going to beat Croatia and that your chance has come."
"As long as you stick to what we've been thinking for a while, revenge is nothing short of pediatric."
"Anything that undertakes your opponent will make it harder for you to win. England has not yet reached the point of invincibility in the world. Every opponent needs your full effort."
"It wasn't a cozy barbecue party! Gentlemen. It was a life-and-death duel! The eyes of the world are on you, waiting to see our jokes! ”
"So, in ninety minutes. You have to kill your opponents with everything you have!! ”
A group of England's big stars all looked at Lynn with concern, even those who were familiar with Lynn from Chelsea were terrified, and the boss's face was hideous!
It's the opposite of the warmth of dealing with those reporters on TV.
Similarly, Bilic didn't believe Lynn's words.
"Croatia only play what they like, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, Coach John is the best coach in the world, everyone agrees, but so what? Whatever the situation, Croatia will go all out to win and my players and I will prove that. ”
As the most passionate head coach on the sidelines, Bilic seems to have changed his temperament, speaking very seriously, and there is no trace of a playful smile on his face.
Bilic's words were in vain.
Lynn, who had always allowed only the governors to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps, provoked the trouble, and then closed the channel for the Croatian counterattack.
No one in England saw Bilic's determination
The 38,000 seats at the Maksimir Stadium are filled by enthusiastic Croatian fans, and those England fans from afar can only sit in a corner, unable to make any waves, even if they are the most professional fans in the world, in the face of the huge number disparity, it becomes meaningless.
Lynn has been standing on the sidelines watching the players warm up, and it is rare that Lynn finally put on the England team uniform today.
It was almost the first time in his coaching career.
A number of journalists in England seem to have noticed this, and they have turned their cameras on Lynn.
The commentator also joked that Lynn must not be assimilated by the traditions of the England team.
'In that case, England would lose a manager who could be inducted into the Hall of Fame.'
'We've got the squad for both sides and England's starting line-up seems to be almost the same as it was in European Championship qualifying?
The England commentator was a little confused by Lynn's starting line-up.
It's too similar, just a few months after Croatia's win over England, Lynn has taken that lineup to the fullest.
And say that there is no revenge?
Devils believe it.
Although many of the players were not selected, Lynn also came to a four-three-two-first.
The goalkeeper was not Carson, he was replaced by Robinson, and in the back line, Richards and Bridge started, and Campbell had withdrawn from the national team and replaced Rio Ferdinand, his partner was Lescott in that game.
In the midfield, Gerrard, Lampard, and Barry all came on, replacing Wright with Walcott, the other two is Joe = Cole, and the single striker Crouch did not enter Lynn's eyes, but Rooney was in front.
"Now we should understand the feelings of the English, the defeat was so miserable and they want to do it all over again, but at Maksimir Croatia should applaud the tragedy of their opponents"
The Croatian commentator seized the opportunity to mock the stupid England.
It seems that he has long known that this move will be incommissible to many people, and Lynn has a smile on his face. He also waved his hand towards the stands.
There was a chorus of boos.
Before the game, Lynn didn't say a tirade, he just reminded the players that the tactics were still made before, and there were no changes today.
Rooney was a little emotional, but when Lynn's eyes swept over, Rooney immediately straightened up, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Wayne. Remember. A great player leads the team to victory, not how many goals he scores, and then the whole team is the first to band and go on vacation. ”
Lynn knew why Rooney's face was ugly, and after thinking about it, he said this.
Rooney quickly replied loudly. "Yes. Boss. I know very well that I will do my best. ”
Seeing Rooney patting his chest in reassurance, Lynn smiled and nodded. He opened the door and walked out.
Walcott walked over and patted Rooney on the shoulder, "Brother, it's up to you today, haha"
Rooney glared at Walcott in annoyance, but there was nothing to say.
According to Lynn's tactical arrangement, Rooney will be firmly pinned in front to open up strategic space for his teammates behind him.
England's main attackers will be Walcoat as well as Joe Cole, and in fact, in the tactical breakdown, Joe Cole will have to cover Walcott.
Many people laughed as they watched Walcott play with the treasure.
Shearer looked at it with a full face, and really admired Lynn in his heart.
In fact, at the tactical meeting, as soon as Lynn announced the tactical arrangements for this game, the coaching staff was worried that Walcott would not get the full support of his teammates, thinking that Lynn was too risky.
In terms of seniority, Walcott really doesn't deserve such a tactical position in the England squad.
But, Lynn insisted, and he told the coaches that Walcott would handle his relationship with his teammates well.
Seeing Walcott scurrying around in the locker room like a little monkey, Shearer and the others understood that this little guy was complicated and ruthless
"Lynn, this arrangement will attract a lot of criticism"
Koper accompanied Lynn to go for a cigarette and said worriedly.
"So what?" Lynn replied casually.
"Also, who dares to fight against you." Koper laughed, there really wasn't anyone who had made Lynn suffer all these years.
"I'm only responsible for whether the team wins or not, as for the media? Who cares what they think, let alone who I put on the field! I think every person I arrange is the most suitable, and that's reason enough. ”
Lynn's words made Koper quite impressed.
"Let's go!" Lynn snuffed out the remaining half of the cigarette, clapped her hands, and walked out.
Koper followed closely.
At the exit of the player's tunnel, Bilic shook hands with Lynn, the smile on his face was very reluctant, Lynn's starting lineup had already told him that today's game would be very difficult, even if it was his home stadium, what the opponent's plan was, there was no need to ask for verification at all.
Lynn's relaxed face made him furious, and it looked like the game was not going to be smooth sailing, and Bilic's heart was heavy.
England's double-German tactics were a joke in Bilic's eyes, and he thought that he could easily solve the so-called double-Germany, and defeating England was a repetition, but the opponent was changed from the stupid McClaren to Lynn John, and Bilic felt a little unconfident.
How to solve the coordination between Gerrard and Frank Lampard has always been a big problem for England, and it has almost become the key lock for each team to beat England.
In the past, Croatia's tactics have been to revolve around Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, causing complete chaos in England's midfield.
However, Bilic really didn't expect Lynn to arrange for Gerrard and Frank Lampard to play like this.
What the hell was that Lynn John thinking?
Bilic was tormented by this question to the point of almost collapse.
This old change in England caught Croatia by some surprise.
Many members of Croatia's coaching staff have been scolding their mothers in low voices.
"Their offense is in the middle, playing against each other? I don't have kung fu, so just abolish their martial arts. ”
Lynn whispered to Shearer in the dugout. (To be continued......)
