In the final round of the group stage, England drew 0-0 with Costa Rica, did not taste a win in three games, and was eliminated from this World Cup in disgrace.

In addition to the poor performance of the England players who were scolded and could not hold their heads up, the head coach Hodgson, who was most responsible, received death threats from extreme fans.

If it weren't for Benjamin's professional explanation throughout the three games, ordinary fans may not have been so clear about how much responsibility the old coach Hodgson should bear.

After all, after the first game, there were some people who felt that England were playing well, but they were unlucky.

After three games, these guys are no longer hard-mouthed, and the result of two losses and one draw is too bad for the proud Englishman.

With England's humiliating knockout, there have been people with rotten eggs and stones who have gone to the FA's headquarters to pull banners demanding that Hodgson be sacked.

Hodgson, who was nearly seventy years old, could not bear the pressure and voluntarily resigned for safety reasons.

The FA is also happy to have such a person to blame for England's poor results at this World Cup.

But the question is, Hodgson is out of class, who will he replace?

"Mr. Lewis, are you really not thinking about it anymore?"

"It's really not, I said I would only talk about England's game, and now it's all over."

Who will change the next head coach of England has little to do with Benjamin for the time being, and he is ready to pack his things and go to Brazil to watch the game.

Forget about the rest, he is ready to go to the World Cup final to feel the excitement on the spot.

In addition, Benjamin does not remember the details of some other games very clearly.

If something goes wrong in the commentary, wouldn't it ruin the professional personality you created before?

Therefore, for Sky Sports' sincere invitation to comment on the follow-up games, he could only decline again and again.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, there is not much left for the holidays, and the day of the new season is approaching.

Until then, though, Benjamin has one more important thing to do.

South Korea finished bottom of the group and exited the World Cup, and few people cared about it except for their own country.

Twenty-two-year-old Son Heung-min ended his first World Cup journey in disappointment.

In Germany for many years, Sun Xingmin has suffered countless discrimination, if it weren't for the fire in his heart, he might not have been able to hold on and want to escape.

He moved to Bayer Leverkusen from Hamburg last season, but it didn't make much of a difference.

Even in terms of goal statistics, it is not as good as last season in Hamburg.

This inevitably made him wonder if his limit was at this level.

He can create about 15 goals in the Bundesliga in a single season, including about 10 goals and three or five assists.

It doesn't seem like a bad thing, but for an Asian player in his early twenties, it's already commendable.

But this is still far from Sun Xingmin's own and his father's expectations.

However, just when he was a little confused about his life and future, his father told him unexpected news.

"Tottenham? Last season's Premier League title? Are they interested in me? Are you sure? ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Sun Xingmin habitually asked his father's opinion.

"Dad, do you think I should try it in the Premier League?"

Sun Xiongzheng looked into his son's eyes and shook his head firmly.

"It's not time yet."

Hope that had just ignited in Sun Xingmin's heart was instantly shattered, and it seemed that he had to stay in Germany, a place he hated so much.

Seeing his son's unwillingness, Sun Xiongzheng said very seriously:

'The Premier League is a must, but not now, and it doesn't have to be Tottenham.

Sun Xingmin showed a puzzled expression.

"You see, Tottenham's title win last season was inseparable from the excellent performance of their attacking players.

If you're a head coach, would you easily change an already well-established combination and force a new person in? ”

"I think I'm ......"

"It's not something you think is useful, I think my son can become a world-class player, can you do it?"

Sun Xingmin was silent, he had been playing football under his father's guidance since he was a child, and he had long been accustomed to obeying Sun Xiongzheng's arrangement.

"I see......"

Son Heung-min quickly extinguished his desire to go to Tottenham and break into the Premier League.

That's when things took a turn for the better.

"The Tottenham manager wants to see us?"

Hearing the news, Sun Xingmin almost jumped up excitedly.

Back in Germany, Benjamin inevitably recalls his time as a student in Cologne.

At that time, he felt that the academic pressure was high, and it was really a headache for Benjamin to study the difficult professional content in a non-native language.

So much so that during his freshman and sophomore years, even on holidays, he stayed in the dormitory and buried himself in his textbooks and brushed up on exercises.

At that time, his classmate Zhang Hai even doubted whether this Englishman was possessed by the Chinese.

It wasn't until the third year that he found time to travel around Germany.

Looking back now, what is the pressure and hard work of studying, and now as the head coach of the team, I have to work overtime until late at night.

Especially in the days when the schedule was intense, there was little time to rest, and the pressure rushing inside and outside the team was enough to drive people crazy.

This is still a good result for Benjamin to lead the team, and if the record is bad, it will be even more unimaginable.

Following the address, Benjamin arrived at Son Heung-min's residence in Leverkusen.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lewis."

Sun Xiong, who is more than a head shorter than his son, is leading Sun Xingmin downstairs to greet Benjamin from afar.

"Please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality, coffee or tea? I have prepared our Korean specialty barley tea, would you like to try it, Mr. Lewis? ”

Benjamin replied with a smile:

"Don't be so polite, just barley tea."

Sun Xiong was going to serve tea, and Benjamin looked at Sun Xingmin, who was still a little immature.

"English needs to be improved, but if you speak German, I can understand it."

Seeing that Benjamin knew German, Sun Xingmin, who had spoken non-standard English before, breathed a sigh of relief.

Having lived in Germany for several years, it is natural that his German speaking skills are much better than English.

'My dad told me that it wasn't time to go to the Premier League and that he thought I should train in the Bundesliga for another year.

Benjamin shook his head, did not answer immediately, and waited for Sun Xiongzheng to come back before he said to the father and son:

Of course, there is truth to this, but who can guarantee that this choice will be the best?

Maybe the sooner you go to the Premier League and adapt earlier, it will be better for your future development?

In the first two seasons, there was no noticeable change in your performances at Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen.

I think you've hit a bottleneck, so going to Tottenham and getting a feel for the Premier League and Champions League might help you break through that bottleneck and go further? ”

To be honest, Tottenham's manager Benjamin personally came to the door, and this sincerity has deeply touched the son and son.

Speaking of this, they were already a little shaken, and Sun Xingmin turned his head to look at his silent father.

"I can't promise him a place in the team when he joins the team, but I think he can definitely fight for a place with his quality and attitude.

Next season we're playing on multiple fronts and I'm going to try to give him as many opportunities as I can. ”

Benjamin's honesty undoubtedly moved Sun Xiongzheng, and he and Sun Xingmin glanced at each other and nodded.

"I hope Mr. Lewis will take more care of my unsuccessful son!"
