National Stadium in Warsaw. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

England have just warmed up and all the players are preparing for the game.

Wan Sheng returned to the dressing room from the press conference and stood in the middle of the room looking at all the players, which was a different feeling than coaching Atletico Madrid.

When coaching Atletico Madrid, most of the players had a reverence for him more than 100, and a few words he said casually could bring fighting spirit and morale to the whole team, but the England team was different, and those who had a reverence for themselves with more than 100 were all former players, even now, most of the players are unfamiliar.

Maybe because of the previous games, they trust their coaching ability, but if there is a problem, they will still be skeptical of themselves.

Because of this, he had to do more.

How confident will the whole team have to win against Germany? Some of the players showed fighting spirit, and it was their desire to win, not real confidence, because England has always had a 'tradition of losing' against other European powerhouses, and the team's history has raised doubts about victory, and perhaps some players are thinking, "It would be nice to be in the semi-finals, right?". ”

Wansheng has to give the team more confidence, "I have already emphasised, there is nothing to be afraid of the German team, I know them, yes, Mesut Ozil, Klose, Boateng, they are all players under me, I know them very well. ”

'Now we're going to face the game, remember what I said? All that has something to do with each of you, you have to do it, and we have a good chance of winning! Not 100 percent...... I admit it, when I was interviewed by a journalist, I would say that we will win 100 per cent, but how can we win 100 per cent in football? ”

In the face of a group of doubtful eyes, Wan Sheng continued, "But the opportunity is always in our hands, whether it is 20 percent, 50 percent, or 100 percent, it depends on the play of all of you, as long as everyone works hard and everyone does it seriously, I believe that the chance of victory will become 100 percent!" ”

"Now that the race is about to start, I want to see everyone fighting for '100 per cent' so that after the game we can have a blast. Reaching the finals, I think you can't wait to be in the finals, just like me! ”

Wan Sheng's words are very inflammatory.

On the one hand, Wan Sheng is very good at using language skills to motivate all the players and clearly tell them that 'the opportunity is in their hands', and on the other hand, the natural skill 'hypocrisy' also plays a role, his words are very relatable, and his personal charisma can also increase the persuasiveness of his words.

Many people listened enthusiastically.

They couldn't resist coming on the pitch and fighting the German team.

As Wan Sheng said, "Entering the finals is simply too tempting!" "England haven't had a good result in a major tournament for more than a decade, let alone the final of the European Championship, they haven't even reached the semi-finals, they have been stopping in the round of 16 and the quarterfinals, if the team can reach the final, whether they can win the championship or not, each of them will become a hero in the hearts of the fans.

In the locker room, there was one person who didn't understand it.

That's assistant coach Gary Neville.

After so many days of cooperation, Gary Neville is very convinced of Wansheng's coaching ability, but for this game, Wansheng's designated tactics are full of doubts.

When Wan Sheng talked about the tactics of the German team, Gary Neville had an absolute objection, he did not think that kind of tactics could beat Germany, but would give the German team a chance, but Wan Sheng has never been a 'good listener' coach, he is very self-consistent, and the tactics he has thought of cannot be changed.

Gary Neville can be questioned, can be distrusted, not optimistic, but the team has to go according to the tactics, because Wan Sheng is the head coach, Gary Neville is only an assistant coach, nominally an assistant to the head coach, and his objections have no effect.

Fortunately, Gary Neville still knows how to do it, and after he questioned it, he still helped the whole team to carry out targeted preparation training, and guided the players step by step according to Wansheng's requirements.

But mentally, Neville is not optimistic about the game.

――――

The tactics that make Gary Neville question will naturally not be an ordinary style of play.

Wansheng's emphasis is on 'confrontation'.

England and Germany playing against each other? Isn't that the same as putting your own weakness in front of your opponent's blade?

Gary Neville thinks so.

When it came time to start tactical training, a lot of players thought the same way. ，

But Wansheng's team is not allowed to question, he will not explain the reasons carefully to the players, just let them do what they are asked to do, Wansheng only said one sentence, "You can't think of it, and the opponent won't think of it!" ”

In fact, Wansheng is also a helpless move.

England's technical strength is limited, and against Italy, they will have to work hard to defend and even prepare for a penalty shootout, because Wan Sheng is not sure that the team will be able to break through the Italian goal, and he has doubts about whether he can defend the goal.

In the face of a strong German team, it is even more fantastic to rely on defense to defend the goal.

There is no team in the world, when facing the German team, it feels that it will definitely be able to defend the goal, because the German team's offensive is too strong, and if you want to rely on defense alone to win, you can't win in the end, not to mention, maybe you may lose the game by a big score, because the German team is very good at playing a tailwind game, so that this young German team can play smoothly, and anything can happen.

In Wansheng's view, Spain is also inferior to Germany.

Spain has a weakness, such as their ability to confront, players from La Liga, the ability to confront is slightly weaker, and the Spanish team must be tough, this is the advantage of the England team, but this advantage is placed on the German team, it is difficult to reflect, the German team has excellent technology, strong confrontation ability, and is excellent in all aspects, there is almost no obvious weakness and this kind of team game, first of all, they can't let them play in the state.

Especially a few core players!

Everyone says that the German team values the whole, even the stars have to rely on the whole team, but the stars of the German team are also crucial, such as Mesut Ozil...... If you want Mesut Ozil, Wansheng has a bit of a headache, his players know it themselves, and in terms of ability, Mesut Ozil is not weaker than Morris at all, and the desire to attack is stronger.

If Mesut Ozil has a good performance, will England's defence be able to hold it?

Therefore, if you want to beat the German team more likely, you must use a surprise style of play, and the outside world almost believes that the England team will continue to use the strategy of defensive counterattack, but Wan Sheng intends to play against the German team.

When it comes to goal-oriented efficiency, Wansheng believes that the team is not weaker than Germany.

If the former England team ...... Of course, there is no way to talk about the efficiency of scoring goals, but after Wansheng coached, the two coaching skills of "shooting" and "long-range shooting ability increase" and other skills have greatly improved the team's goal-front efficiency, and the current England team's attack is not weaker than the opponent at all.

The only question is, will the players be able to adapt?

It depends on confidence and fighting spirit, or to put it bluntly, the improvised performance of the players on the playing field.

Wansheng hopes that the team can perform well.

It's a game you can't be sure of, but you have to win!

――――

National Stadium in Warsaw.

The crowds were already filled with deafening noise, with more than 13,000 German fans and more than 15,000 fans in Ingallan, who together occupied two-thirds of the stands.

The fans of both teams were shouting wildly against each other.

Twenty minutes before the start of the game, the fan confrontation began, and it felt like whichever team with the highest fan shouts will have the advantage to win.

Finally, two teams are on the scene.

When the first player walked out of the tunnel, the hustle and bustle in the crowd reached a new high.

It's not that the fans on both sides want to create an atmosphere, but that they don't like each other and are not convinced, and they want to suppress each other's results with shouts, but the number of fans on both sides is about the same, and it is unrealistic to want to divide the winner or loser.

At this time, the match commentator began to introduce the starting lineups of both teams.

There have been no big changes to the German squad, with Mesut Ozil still at the core, young Thomas Müller starting as a right midfielder, and Gomes up front.

England have made big changes to their lineup.

England did not use the traditional 442 formation, as is evident from the starting line-up, with three players in the middle of the midfield – Steven Gerrard, Morris and Scott Parker – and just one Wayne Rooney up front.

"England have changed their formation, they seem to have become the same 4231 style of play as the German team, this formation is more attacking, and the combination of two backs can also make the defense solid......"

Although the match commentator said so, not many people thought that England would actually attack, and in the eyes of many, it was completely unrealised, almost tantamount to abandoning the game.

England have never been good at attacking each other.

Like England's most iconic clubs – Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool – and the recent rise of Manchester City – they have always been very conservative in European competitions, and it is not uncommon for them to defend the whole game.

This conservatism has also been carried over to the England team, as the majority of the players come from the Premier League giants, and even a few 'foreign players', such as Morris, will not be able to change the overall style of play.

It's not realistic for one player to want to change the whole team.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines.

He watched the ceremonies before the opening of the international tournament, watched the players stand up one by one, and also started the game.

Wansheng is looking forward to the game, it is a tough challenge.

Since returning to Europe two years ago to coach Atletico Madrid, he has not encountered any challenges for a long time, with the original strength of Atletico Madrid, coupled with the addition of stars such as Mesut Ozil and Morris, the club already has the best strength in Europe, no matter against any team, it is not too difficult to win.

Now it's different.

England team as a whole does not have such a good technique, compared to the young and outstanding German team in front of them, the England team is much worse.

The game cannot be said to be weak against strong, but there is a great uncertainty about the outcome of the game.

So that's the challenge!

Looking at the game to be played in front of him, Wan Sheng couldn't help but recall the experience of leading Derby County to the Premier League, and found the feeling of facing challenges one by one.

He was excited and looking forward to it!
