Chapter 293 The Beginning of Victory [1]
June 6.
BJ time 0:00, Austria local time 18:00.
The mountain city of Salzburg is bathed in the golden glow of the sunset. The temperature that is a bit muggy during the day is gradually decreasing. The distant wind from the Alps Mountains gently blows from the foothills to bring out bursts of refreshing.
Although three hours later, the Three Lions' first match in the 2008 European Cup will officially start at the Urs-Siezenheim Stadium, but the football atmosphere before the game has made every native of Salzburg feel the enthusiasm of the European Cup.
The smoke has begun to fill the air!
War is imminent!
According to statistics from the Salzburg tourism management department, as of the early morning of the 12th local time, as many as [-] crazy England fans have poured into this beautiful tourist mountain city.
All this is because of football!
This is the charm of football. Even the huge earth seems to choose to stop rotating at this moment because of the existence of this small football!
Since the afternoon of the 12th, the fanatical England fans flocking to the streets have turned this beautiful small town at the foot of the Alps into an active volcano that could erupt at any time——
The St. George's cross flag that can be seen everywhere in the streets...
The melodious tune of "God Save the Queen" floating over the city...
A burly man with canola painted on his face and the Union Jack shouting "Long live Her Majesty the Queen"...
Wearing the pure white jersey of No. 7 or No. 10 of the national team, holding the head portraits of David Beckham and Michael Owen in her hands, the blond beauty shows love madly...
All of these are there, unabashedly venting the passion and confidence of the English fans for the 2008 European Cup!
Although the major European bookmakers did not list England as the number one seed to win this tournament, although the striker David Villa of the Spanish team overwhelmed Michael Owen in the scoring odds, although England, known as the originator of football, has not achieved convincing results in international competitions for many years, but...
The past has long been history, and this pale history has become meaningless in front of one person——
This person is Crazy Li!
England's Bandage God of War!
A man known as "God on the sidelines of the football field"!
Because of the existence of this man who came from mythology with a mysterious brilliance, the British Isles have more hopes for the 2008 European Cup than ever before. Therefore, fans everywhere in the UK and Salzburg held up the portrait of Li Tongfan with his middle finger raised high, shouting like the emperor's most loyal bodyguard...
Salzburg, Austria on June 6 has become the home of the England team!
God's home field!
……
12:16 on the 00th.
The setting sun in the sky fell further, and the golden light had turned into a fiery red halo.
The famous manor of Duke Semensis on the outskirts of Salzburg!
The bus with the St. George's cross flag is already parked in front of the lobby of the Manor Hotel.
The staff of the England team are busy packing the players' luggage into the bottom compartment of the bus. In less than half an hour, the team will set off for the Erles-Sitzenheim Stadium to show the strength and invincibility of the Three Lions to fans all over the world.
In the lobby of the hotel!
The English media, who were fortunate enough to be interviewed with the team, are doing the last interview before the first game around Li Tongfan and assistant coach Venables.
The players of the team sat in twos and threes on the soft sofa in the lobby, or listened to music with headphones on, or leisurely flipped through the magazines in their hands.Except for Sturridge and a few inexperienced young players sitting there a little at a loss, other players who have experienced many national team competitions are deliberately adjusting their mood and state before the battle in the way they are best at.
……
"Take it easy... relax!"
The captain of the team, David Beckham, appeared behind Sturridge, patted the little guy on the shoulder with his iconic smile, and pointed to the back of Li Tongfan who was being interviewed by reporters in the distance: "With the boss around, everything will be very simple!"
Sturridge cracked his dry mouth and smiled ugly. It was the first time he represented England in the national team competition. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
"Hey, Daniel, you really don't have to be nervous..." Joe Hart, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his fist and punched Sturridge in the chest: "Because you have no chance to play today!"
Sturridge: "...Your uncle!"
However, after being made such a fuss by the rough-edged Joe Hart, Sturridge was really not so nervous.
……
not far away.
Michael Owen sat quietly on the purple-gold velvet sofa, looking through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel on the snow-white and golden brilliance of the Alps Mountains in the distance.
Since his serious injury in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, it will be the first time in two years that Michael Irving, a chasing young man who used to be in the green, will once again be on the stage of the national competition... Thinking about the game that will start in less than three hours, Owen is filled with emotion: It has been two years. I thought I had said goodbye to the chance to win honors, but...
European Cup, Michael Owen is finally back!
I will make everyone enchanted by my performance!
……
And among the 23 England players, only one is the most leisurely --
Wayne Rooney!
Rooney was suspended by UEFA for an additional 5 games because the little fat man punched the Russian players for his teammates in the away game against Russia in the qualifiers, so at least the little fat man of the Three Lions will not be able to play.
In fact, many people in England complained about Li Tongfan's insistence on bringing such a striker who might not be able to play at all, but Li Tongfan resolutely put on Rooney. A player like Rooney who is a competitive player needs him in the knockout round!
What's more, Rooney threw his punches to protect his teammates. This is doomed that even if Rooney is suspended for 100 games, Lao Li will waste a spot and bring the fat guy to Austria.
And Lao Li's decision obviously made the little fat man regard Lao Li as a reborn parent, and he was grateful.
At this moment, Manchester United's ace is helping the staff carry luggage to the bus!
……
"Okay guys, let's go!"
After accepting the reporter's interview, Li Tongfan turned around and waved his hand, and was the first to walk out of the hotel lobby.
3 minutes later.
The bus started and slowly drove to the gate of the Duke of Semensis Manor, bursts of cheers exploded like thunder, and the white crowd of tens of thousands of England fans waiting here instantly set off a raging wave. For these fans who did not buy tickets, this will be the last battle for their heroes to enter the battlefield.
Semensis Manor is less than 8 kilometers away from Errs-Sitzenheim Stadium. The bus drove steadily along the soothing road. England fans waving cross flags were surrounded on both sides of the street along the way. The Three Lions headed for the "battlefield" to win honor amidst the never-ending cheers and shouts!
……
Urs-Siezenheim Stadium!
This stadium, which looks like a silver-white square matchbox from the outside, has long been in a frenzied atmosphere. The white English fans camp and the sky blue Greek fan camp in the stands that can accommodate 30000 people are clearly separated. The noisy atmosphere like surging waves has already opened the climax of the game in advance!
"...the game will start for more than an hour, but the stadium is already full. The England team will play against the Greek national team, the winner of the European Cup in 2004!" Sester, the famous mouthpiece of British national television, came to the scene to comment without any doubt, and his partner was Gary Lineker.
"This game will be the last match of the first round of the group stage of this European Cup, and it will also be the first appearance of the Three Lions of Madman Lee in this tournament...At this time, Spain and Norway, the other two teams in Group D with England, are already competing at the new Tivoli Stadium in Innsbruck...Hey, Gary, let me introduce the score to everyone!"
Lineker naturally smiled and took Sester's words:
"It is not unreasonable that the Spanish team is listed as the favorite to win this competition. In the 75th minute of the second half of the Innsbruck game, Matador forward David Villa had already staged his first hat-trick in this competition... There is no doubt that Spain will be Madman Lee's biggest opponent in the group stage!"
The two commentators looked extremely relaxed, and obviously had no doubts about the victory of the game.
At this moment, the cheers in the stadium suddenly increased!
It turned out that the England and Greece players had begun to warm up on the field.
……
"The first appearance of the players from the two teams ignited the atmosphere of the Urs-Sitzenheim Stadium. Unfortunately, we haven't found Li Tongfan yet..."
Not far from the British commentary booth is the commentary team from CCTV 960 of China.Brother Duan Xuan's melancholy and magnetic baritone broadcasted through satellite broadcast to the ears of every football fan in China's [-] million square kilometers who stayed up late to watch the game.
At this time, it was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night on the land of China, and the dark night enveloped the vast China.However, the three words "Li Tongfan" in Duan Xuan's words were like a magic spell, which shook the spirits of every drowsy fan waiting in front of the TV or computer.
In addition to live commentary, CCTV will host a 4-hour European talk show "Chinese European Cup" after [-]:[-] every night in the domestic studio hall. The main report is of course the England team led by Li Tongfan.
Prior to this, Sohu.com held a fan survey called "The Team I Support Most in the European Cup". As a result, because of the existence of Li Tongfan, the Three Lions surpassed Spain, Germany and other popular teams without any suspense and took the top spot with 80.00% of the votes.
"...Although I am an avid Torres fan, I hope England can win this European Cup... The reason? Of course it is because of Li Tongfan!"
This comment from a netizen best represents the aspirations of all Chinese fans.When the domestic league has become a stinking black quagmire, the existence of Crazy Li is more like a sweet spring, like a pink lotus that emerges from the mud and is not stained, nourishing and fragrant the true love of Chinese fans who yearn for football!
……
"In less than half an hour, the concerns of hundreds of millions of Chinese compatriots will begin. Li Tongfan's first opponent is [Otto the Great] Rehhagel, who created a miracle in the last European Cup and created a miracle in Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga..."
In the studio of CCTV's "Chinese European Cup", the fat host Zhang Bing talked eloquently: "Facing this most outstanding head coach in German history who has also created incredible miracles, as a senior idiot, I wish the idiot good luck!"
……
Urs-Siezenheim Stadium!
England dressing room.
"...for the next nine or 10 minutes, our only goal is to win, to show our strength in front of fans all over the world, and to make any opponent in the future tremble, fear, weak legs, and beg for mercy when they face us..."
"No problem, boss!"
Facing Li Tongfan's request, more than 20 mouths gave a firm answer with one voice.
……
The Greek locker room!
"...Madman Li's tactics are better than strange and strange soldiers, just like those mysterious and unpredictable military home soldiers in ancient China are as elusive... But, as long as the correct method is found, Madman Li is not invincible...There is a Chinese idiom called [Yi Zheng Ke Qi], so what we have to do is to use the same to respond to all changes..."
Miracle coach Rehhagel is arranging the Greek team's tactics.
The 2004-year-old man who created Kaiserslau Shenhua and the 70 European Miracle always has a calm expression on his face. Although the skin on his face has become wrinkled and old due to the ruthless carving of the years, the dazzling rays of light that flashed from time to time in those sky-blue eyes still clearly tell everyone——
Otto the Great is not old yet!
Although Crazy Lee's myth of victory is popular in Europe, in Greece, in the football world of this mythical country where the Olympic spirit was born, Rehhagel is the god-king Zeus who lives high on the holy mountain of Olympia overlooking the human beings, and is the only true god of the Greek team.
"...Compared to the creativity and offensive strength of the attacking players in the midfield, the England team is not as good as Spain...and compared to the defensive ability...it is even inferior to us! So as long as you don't be led by the nose by the strange tactics of the Chinese, the hope of winning three points is very high. Let's go, the game is about to begin!"
Rehhagel didn't even need to use any slogans or passionate words to motivate and infect his disciples, because in the hearts of the Greek players, any word from the old man was a good word to defeat the enemy, and any word was enough to make their fighting spirit burn!
……
10 minutes later!
Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack!
More than 20 huge lights on the roof of the Urs-Siezenheim Stadium were turned on at the same time in an instant, and the slightly dim stadium was suddenly as bright as day!
The cheers erupting from the stands were like thunder for nine days!
force~~~
The whistle sounded!
The middle circle of the stadium!
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of eyes eager to win, the Three Lions' starting striker Michael Owen gently knocked the football back under his feet to Frank Lampard behind him...
The game has officially started!
