As the 2002 World Cup is about to start, not only England, but all the national teams on the whole planet have begun to train and look for some teams of comparable strength to play a friendly match in order to test the current situation of the team.

Like England, the Spanish national team is also the same as England, wanting to find an opponent of equal strength to play a friendly match, it is for this reason that when the Spanish Football Association and the FA communicate, they found that the other side has not yet played a friendly match, so that the heads of both sides suddenly slapped the table, so that the friendly match between England and Spain was decided.

In fact, for England, they want to find an opponent like Portugal as a teammate in a friendly match, after all, Portugal has the reputation of the European Brazilian team, the reason is that many excellent Brazilian footballers can't find a place in the national team in Brazil, a place that produces football talents, and have to change their nationality to participate in Portugal so that they can stand on a bigger stage.

It is for this reason that Portugal's style of play is basically similar to that of Brazil, with gorgeous attacks and short passes to tear apart the opponent's defense.

England also wants to find an opponent like Portugal, not only because the opponent is strong, but more importantly, if England plays a friendly match with Portugal, not only can they understand the strength of Portugal, but also can adapt to Portugal's style of play in the game, so that when England and Brazil play in the future, adapt to the Brazilian team's style of play, you must know that no matter at any time, the Brazilian team is definitely an opponent that no country dares to underestimate, and it is also the biggest contender for the championship.

However, it is precisely for this reason that Portugal, which has the same style as the Brazilian team, has become a fragrant bun in Europe, and has long been pulled into the invitational tournament by Italy, Germany, and the Czech Republic. However, it seems that in order to compete with the Portugal, Italy, Germany and Czech Republic Invitational Tournament, England and Spain also invited Denmark and France as friendly matches, and also opened a four-nation invitational tournament.

However, it is precisely because this is only an invitational tournament, not an official competition, the purpose of both sides is only to practice, and it doesn't matter if the game is won or lost, so the degree of popularity and attention is naturally not high, but in any case, as long as it is a game, there will be a winner or loser, at least the fans in the UK still attach great importance to this four-nation invitational tournament.

This time, the British, Spanish, Dutch, and Danish Invitational Tournament can be said to be strongly supported by the United Kingdom, so the four countries invitational tournament participated in all the competitions held in the United Kingdom, and at the beginning in order to attract the Netherlands and Denmark to participate, the United Kingdom even opened a generous bonus to reward the first place in the four-nation invitational tournament this time, and the rules of the game are very simple, that is, the four countries compete with each other, win 3 draws, 1 loss and 0 system, after four games, which team scores the most is the champion. Since it was not an official competition, the other three countries did not care about the British competition system, and readily agreed.

Spain were the first to arrive in England, and have been here for a few days, and have been working on acclimatisation for a long time, and tomorrow Spain will start playing England at Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium.

"Hey ~ Steven, I said I would be able to play tomorrow?" Because the national team has begun to close management, George at this time, like a group of teammates of the national team, followed the national team to stay in the hotel where it was issued, and was also sternly told by head coach Keegan that no player can go out without permission.

I don't know why, George is also very puzzled, that is, whether in the club or the national team, Gerrard, who seems to have a bun in front of him, is always his roommate. No, in the hotel where the national team was issued, George and Gerrard were in the same room.

It's really boring, or because it's going to play Spain tomorrow, George has been feeling very excited, can't sleep, and can't help but ask Gerrard on the side.

"How do I know this kind of thing, I'm not a coach. Besides, what do you have to worry about about things like this, I think you might still be able to play, and that's a lot luckier than me. It was my first time playing for the national team, but I was on the bench the whole time and I didn't have a minute to play. ”

Hearing George's words, Gerald said with a nonchalant expression, sitting on the bed, his head down, looking at the handheld game console between his knees, and playing fascinated.

"Cut, you will say cool words, you are good now, you can play, depending on the situation is the main force that cannot be beaten, you comfort me and also say a little more realistic, so that I can be more acceptable, what is possible." Hearing Gerald's words, George couldn't help but pout and said unpleasantly.

"Hmph~ You know, this time our head coach is Kevin #8226; Keegan, who is your teacher, makes sense to say that you can play, after all, you are also very strong, even if you replace Owen and Shearer, it is normal. Gerald still sat motionless on the bed and played a game, and said lightly.

Hearing Gerrard's words, George couldn't help but lie on the bed, with his head resting on his hands, looking at the ceiling and saying: "This kind of thing is basically impossible, after all, let alone Coach Keegan, even I think that this time the main forwards, Owen and Shearer are the best partners." ”

Although Keegan did not announce the starting list for tomorrow's game with Spain, in fact, this kind of thing does not need George and others to think much, as long as they have a little knowledge, they can guess England's starting list this time, in fact, not only George and others, I am afraid that as long as a real fan, can guess it.

"It's not necessarily, and I don't know how, but this time the coach called several new players into the national team, who is that, Terry. That's right, it's Terry from Chelsea, I remember George you used a Marseille maneuver to get past him, and I really didn't see anything special about that kid. But anyway, since the coach brought you in, he didn't let you watch the game, but went to the game. ”

"Steven, you are wrong about this, that Terry is indeed very powerful, I heard that it was Chelsea's captain Desailly who personally instructed and taught him, and he was the focus of Chelsea's training. I had passed him at the beginning, but so what, not to mention him at that time, even if it was Hyypia, I had the same situation. However, I think that since the head coach recruited him into the national team, he must have coached his own reasons, which means that this Terry's strength cannot be underestimated. ”

Seeing Gerrard's disdain for Chelsea's John Terry, George couldn't help but explain. Gerald didn't understand, but George did. In the last game against Chelsea, after he scored that jīng lottery goal, he was killed by Terry for the remaining ten minutes, and there was no chance.

“YES！ Be arrogant with us, see if I don't overthrow your Argentine team. Okay George, don't think too much, I don't know if you can play tomorrow, but I know that if you don't have a good rest today, if you don't have a jīng god tomorrow, then you will definitely not be arranged by the head coach to play, okay, rest early. ”

Looking at Gerrard's excited face, George couldn't help but jump from his bed to Gerrard's bed curiously, it turned out that Gerrard was playing Pro Evolution Soccer and was playing the World Cup final, Gerrard used Gerrard in the game to break through the door of Argentina with a shocking kick, no wonder Gerrard was so happy just now, after all, the relationship between England and Argentina is known on the earth.

However, after hearing Gerrard's words, George also felt that it was very reasonable, if he really didn't have a good rest tomorrow and didn't have a good rest today, I am afraid that even if the head coach Keegan wants to let him play, he will dispel the idea of letting himself play when he sees his unpolished face.

Thinking of this, George didn't think much about it, put on the quilt and began to sleep.
