Hodgson has fully experienced what pain and happiness are.
Leading the team to the World Cup final for the second time is obviously a great achievement and something that can be boasted for a lifetime, but his coaching ability has been questioned by almost everyone.
"Leash the dog to win the championship" theory has become the consensus of almost everyone.
Fortunately, Lampard and Rooney performed well in the semi-finals, which distracted Lin Yun to a certain extent and helped Huo Taigong reduce a lot of pressure.
Both Messi and Lin Yun attended the post-match press conference.
Messi still couldn't hide his disappointment on his face, obviously trying to keep his spirits up.
"All of us have tried our best and had the upper hand in the game, but unfortunately we were not able to control our own destiny.
The opponent performed very well, especially Lin. We are no strangers to each other. I know what he can do. We have tried our best to stop him. Unfortunately, he still changed everything..."
People have said so. Of course Lin Yun wanted to give each other some business talk, but he focused on praising the performance of his teammates.
"Argentina and England are equally strong, but we were lucky today. Messi scored two very beautiful goals, which brought us to the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, we have Wilshere and Lan Pad, Rooney, Joe Hart, and many outstanding players, we worked together and finally won.
I can see that Messi blames himself, but he really doesn’t have to, he has done his best, he is Argentina’s hero, and I wish Argentina a good performance in the game three days later...”
"I also wish England a good performance in the final..."
Off the field, Bailey was asked who could win the championship.
Brazil was defeated by the German team, so the world champion naturally gave England a thumbs up, "Of course it's England! The German team's defense can't stop Lin! Ozil performed very well, but he will face the biggest challenge! If I am Loew, and I will let Lahm come on with a chain and lock Lin up immediately."
People in England sent him blades.
As for the goal record, Ronaldo said he is optimistic that Lin Yun can surpass him and catch up with Klose.
"To be honest, when I saw Klose scoring the 16th goal with my own eyes, I felt a little disappointed, but now I am relieved.
The world should be moving forward, and so should football.
I hope Lin can score more goals, but that will not be easy. After all, he is going to participate in the World Cup finals, but then again, who knows what will happen in the future?
After all, this is football, after all, it is Lin Yun..."
As for Messi, Lao Ma expressed his disappointment.
"Messi is a good player, but not a good leader. Argentina should have entered the final, but as the leader of the team, he cannot do this by scoring goals alone. He should compete with the No. 9 on the opposite side. Take a lesson, that kid also scored a lot of goals, but he didn’t just score goals..."
Zun Lin's voice of belittling Mei only lasted for one day, and was quickly suppressed by the heat of the finals.
The difference between the two teams is quite obvious.
The German team is the best overall team in this World Cup. Players in every position have made an indelible contribution to the team's victory. If the German team is really a tank, then this one Not a single part on the tank is superfluous.
On the contrary, England is a lion with a flock of sheep, a true one-man team.
Except for Lin Yun, the England team can reach this point with any reliable tool player in other positions. Even the members of the England team have to admit this...
With much anticipation, the England team soon arrived in Rio de Janeiro.
In the training ground, several special guests came today.
Beckham, Michael Owen, Scholes.
The three of them are all three famous players, and they have all participated in the World Cup with the team. Unfortunately, the results were not perfect.
Looking at this ambitious national team, the three of them had exactly the same emotion.
Born at the wrong time...
If possible, they would also like to be used as pendants, the kind that can lead to the finals with just a few strokes.
Naturally, the three of them came here to send blessings to the younger brothers, and they were not just trying to gain traffic, but they were really qualified because in the last game England beat Germany, these three brothers were all starters for the team. , Owen even performed a hat trick and became a famous German nemesis.
There was a brief exchange between the old and new players. The three old brothers imparted some experience against the German team and gave everyone some words of encouragement and blessings. Then the three of them came to Lin Yun in unison.
Beckham personally taught Lin Yun to kick a free kick for a while.
"I see that you are very interested in free kicks, but you don't seem to have trained specifically?"
"Yes, I have too many things to learn, but free kicks are really what I have always wanted to practice," Lin Yun smiled and tipped the ball, "Of course, it would be best if you could teach two moves."
"Haha, there are not many opportunities to be a teacher to the legendary World Cup striker... You can do this, this, and this... Yes, you are very smart, but you'd better learn to control your power. The harder the free kick is, the more powerful it is. …”
Lin Yun followed Beckham's example and kicked a few shell-shaped kicks, which looked decent, but his accuracy was really disappointing. It was not as reliable as his own long-range kicks, which caused a lot of trouble. Lots of good-natured laughter.
Everyone laughed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, genius is not so perfect...
Lin Yun had some other thoughts in his mind: it would be wonderful if the next characteristic reward was the Full Moon Scimitar...
On the other side, the German team is also constantly studying tactics to deal with Lin Yun.
They even made a creative card for Lin Yun by referring to the attribute values of football games to conduct a comprehensive analysis of him.
Name: Lin Yun (Claude);
Height: 1.87;
Weight: 85KG;
Strength: 97;
Body Balance: 99;
Speed: 96;
Dribbling speed: 98;
Bounce: 93;
Agility: 90;
Awareness in front of goal: 95;
Shooting skills: 95;
Shot power: 96;
Dribbling: 95;
Free kick: 80;
Headers: 88;
Teamwork: 85
…
A group of people looked at the cards in front of them and looked at each other.
Very nice and intuitive.
Almost all of the main offensive attributes are in the red! ! !
To sum it up in one word: This person has no solution!
Everyone looked at Ram and Boateng again.
Lin Yun's first game was against Bayern Munich, and he played against Bayern Munich four times in total. It can be said that Lin Yun's growth to this point is definitely due to the experience value provided by Bayern, and Lahm and Boateng contributed to it. The two biggest grievances.
Everyone wanted to hear their experience in dealing with Lin Yun.
Of course the two of them knew what they meant, and they pretended to be stupid at the same time in a tacit understanding, looking back with innocent eyes.
Yes, they have experience, but they all have failed experiences! A proper dark history, okay?
Loew picked his nose and said helplessly: "As you can see, this is the opponent we are about to face. The offense is almost omnipotent. Our past experience in dealing with ordinary forwards is not fully applicable to him. Therefore, our game in this game In addition to trying to prevent the opponent from scoring goals, the most important thing about the winning point is to score more goals than the opponent..."
In human terms, this guy cannot be defended by the people on earth, so we have to fight against each other, comrades!
Both sides are actively preparing for the game, and the major media are also frantically building momentum for this upcoming final.
“As two traditional strong teams in world football, England and Germany have played against each other many times in the World Cup, providing many classic games. At the same time, they also left a lot of controversy and brought countless topics and hot spots to everyone.
The first classic showdown between the two sides was in the 1966 World Cup in England. Bobby Charlton led the host country all the way to the final, facing the old rival Germany led by Beckenbauer.
Everyone knows the final result. The two sides fought hard into overtime with a score of 1-1. In the end, the England team won the local and first World Cup championship in history with a score of 4-2.
Four years later, the two teams met again in the World Cup quarter-finals. This time the German team had the last laugh: they fought back from two goals down and equalized in the 82nd minute to send the game into overtime again. In the end, a great reversal was achieved with Gerd Muller's winning goal.
The third time was in 1990, the famous Italian Summer, when England and Germany met in the semi-finals, creating a classic showdown in World Cup history for fans around the world.
At this time, Beckenbauer has become the coach of the German team. The German troika under his command are unstoppable, and the England team is not far behind. Robson is invincible with the help of the great striker Lineker and the talented player Gascoigne.
This game also did not decide the winner in regular time, but came to a brutal penalty shootout. In the end, the Germans won the duel and entered the final, and finally won the championship trophy, while Lineker was in the game. Later, he left behind the famous saying that is still circulating today: 'Football is a game in which both sides send 11 people each and end with the German victory after 120 minutes. '
Then in 2001, the two sides met for the fourth time in the World Cup, but this time it was a World Cup qualifier.
The young Owen was unstoppable and penetrated the Lion Kahn's fingers three times. The England team defeated the opponent 5-1 and achieved the most glorious victory in the history of the Anglo-German war.
Next came the last World Cup in South Africa, where the two teams met again in the quarter-finals.
This time it was the Germans who won the victory, but it left behind the most famous goal-line unsolved case in the history of the World Cup, or an unjust case: Lampard's shot in the arc of the penalty area went over Neuer and hit the crossbar. Although The ball was eventually confiscated by Neuer, but replays showed that the ball clearly crossed the goal line. Unfortunately, this good goal was inexplicably ignored by the referee on duty.
This year, in 2014, the two teams once again staged a peak showdown in the World Cup, and it was in the most watched final. No matter who wins and who loses, the grievances between the two sides are bound to get deeper.
In addition to the battle between the teams, the showdown between the top scorers of the two teams is also the biggest highlight of the game: Lin Yun, who broke the personal scoring record in a single World Cup, and Ke, who set the personal scoring record in World Cup history. Luo Ze, who is the greatest shooter in the history of the World Cup..."
Revolving around the grievances between the two sides and the shooter battle between Lin Yun and Klose, time quickly came to the match day.
The attention of fans around the world is focused on the famous Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, where the 2014 Brazil World Cup final is about to begin.
A brief closing ceremony was held before the game. Latin American queen Shakira sang with all her heart, becoming the first artist to participate in the World Cup closing ceremony for three consecutive years.
Many dignitaries and famous football stars, including the German Chancellor and President Mao Xiong, were invited to attend, so not only was the stadium star-studded today, but the audience was also packed with bigwigs and young adults.
The game is about to begin. Puyol, captain of the last championship team, and Brazilian supermodel Bundchen entered the stadium with the Hercules Cup. Kaká showed everyone the game ball for this final.
In the England team's dressing room, everyone is using their own methods to relieve stress.
Some were praying, some were listening to music, and some were talking to themselves. Only Lin Yun and Rooney sat mindlessly in their respective seats, bouncing the ball back and forth in boredom, as if they were not nervous at all.
Of course, any lack of nervousness at this time is just an act.
"Mr. Big Scene" seems to have lost control for the first time. Lin Yun now feels like a young child who has just stepped into the professional arena. He is excited and apprehensive. Being able to stop his feet from shaking is already a sign of his inner strength.
Rooney was probably about the same, he almost put the ball on Gerrard's head five meters away, obviously he was just pretending to be calm.
Hodgson came in and gave everyone the last bite of chicken soup. The players entered the tunnel one by one, waiting for the game to start.
Lin Yun looked around and saw that almost all of them were acquaintances.
After all, Bayern and the German team understand everything.
"Germany reached seven World Cup finals, winning three of them and losing four times, including the 1966 final against England.
The England team has entered the World Cup final for the second time, and their opponent is the German team. I wonder if they can continue the glory of their ancestors and bring the Hercules Cup back to England..."
"Germany is 4-2-3-1.
Goalkeeper: 1- Neuer;
Defenders: 16-Lahm (captain), 20-Boateng, 5-Hummels, 4-Hewedes;
Midfielder: 7-Schweinsteiger, 23-Kramer;
Midfielder: 13-Mueller, 18-Kros, 8-Evil Outcast;
Forward: 11-Klose.
This is Klose's 24th World Cup game, only one less than Matthaus's record, ranking second in the history of the German team. "
"The England team also has the same 4-2-3-1 formation. Hodgson only made adjustments to the left back selection, and the other positions completely used the starting lineup against Argentina in the semi-finals.
Goalkeeper: 1- Joe Hart;
Defenders: 2-Glenn Johnson, 6-Jagielka, 5-Gary Cahill, 23-Luke Shaw;
Midfielder: 8-Gerrard, 7-Wilshere;
Midfielder: 11-Welbeck, 19-Sterling, 10-Rooney;
Forward: 9-Lin Yun.
Gerrard played for England for the 118th time and is the second most capped player in England..."
