England is in the last group and their first game is on June 16, so they don't need to rush. They will prepare to leave after Group B has started its games.
Ivan is still practicing free kicks in the training ground specially prepared by the English Football Association.
Rooney, who had just finished practicing his own project, opened a bottle of water and admired the heroic performance of his teammate with Joe Hart, who had just been substituted off for rest.
The goalkeeper who trained with Ivan was Green. The young man was also beaten badly by Ivan's free kicks in various ways, which made Joe Hart sigh.
Rooney: "Ivan, which one is this? Did you count?"
Hart: "About... 30 or so? Or 40? I can't remember..."
Rooney put down the water and said, "Tell me, how many saves did you make?"
Hart: QAQ
#Let’s not talk about this, we are still friends!
Beckham, who was wearing a sports suit, heard the conversation between the two and suddenly said, "37."
"Hey, David, how do you know so much?"
"Because if it were me, I would also practice free kicks before the game. I practiced at least 50 at that time." Beckham answered calmly, as if he was talking about what he had eaten that day.
Joe Hart took a deep breath and chose to continue drinking water.
The striker is practicing like crazy = his goalkeeper is saving the ball like crazy.
#What a painful realization this is.
Green was jumping around when he noticed that Ivan in front of him had stopped.
He heard Ivan say to him, "No, it's not easy to save the ball if you save it like that."
Then I heard Alvin waving at Joe Hart and calling James.
"I'm not sure how other forwards would kick free kicks, you guys know better than me. But there should be something in common. The arc of my ball is just a little different when it comes to goal..." The four of them sat in a circle and discussed how to save the magical sleepy ball.
Fat Lu was jumping around beside them but couldn't squeeze in. He was very carefree and thought, "It's okay, he can just ask Ivan to teach him privately, they have a close relationship anyway."
So he stood with Beckham and watched their three goalkeepers sit there like good kids and listen to teacher Irvin's "guidance".
"Will he continue to play football?" Beckham suddenly asked Rooney beside him.
Rooney was stunned: "He seemed to say he would stop playing after the World Cup."
The former England captain sighed and swallowed the word "what a pity".
He had originally been called up to the national team by Capello, as had Owen, but they both shared the same fate, as did Hargreaves, who had a glassy physique. They were all injured before the World Cup and ultimately missed the 23-man squad.
There is always a kind of inheritance in the team. When Beckham looked at Irving, it was like seeing himself 12 years ago.
At that time, David Beckham, the captain of England, became famous at a young age and was very ambitious.
That golden generation of England was eliminated in the semi-finals with regret.
Being humble, low-key, getting along well with teammates, and being able to turn the tide when the team needs it, this is exactly what the captain position requires.
The goalkeepers surrounding Ivan were extremely excited. They had no intention of taking a break at all and kept clinging to Ivan to ask for more training.
Ivan is so nice! He told them all his sleeping ball techniques and save methods without reservation!
Not only this kind of ball path, they found that Alvin was able to understand it thoroughly. He could draw inferences from one example and derive other free kicks from this one, giving them a broader range of ideas for saving the ball!
Joe Hart, who burst into tears when he thought of Pirlo's falling leaf ball, seemed to see hope of escaping the nightmare.
In addition to kicking free kicks, which is what he is best at, Alvin also asked Beckham for advice on how to kick the Crescent Moon Knife. The former England captain generously taught Alvin the skills.
In the setting sun, the older handsome guy looked at the younger handsome guy with eyes full of love (? ).
Several people stayed at the training ground, and Rooney also joined in. In the end, this individual training turned into training for the whole team. Gerrard and Lampard also came to join in the fun.
This group of young people, who are about to travel to Rustenburg, the city where the first group match will be held, were unprecedentedly united on this afternoon at the training ground.
Until dark, they were still reluctant to leave and asked for brighter lights. In the end, Capello's team came personally to drive them back.
The most direct result was that Alvin successfully exchanged contact information with the entire team.
This excitement continued into the evening.
Everyone was originally under a lot of pressure. Although the English Football Association tried its best to create a relatively quiet atmosphere for them so that they would not be disturbed by the media, there would still be time from time to time for the media to come in and take pictures.
Capello's strictness and the country's expectations leave these young people with no way to release the pressure.
Ivan's unintentional act actually gave everyone a chance to vent their anger. They now have an illusion that they can beat all teams.
They are going to Rustenburg tomorrow afternoon, so they should have a good rest tonight to recharge their energy. However, some people who are overly energetic are too excited. As soon as Alvin returned to the room, his roommate Beckham didn't even have time to take off his shoes.
That’s right, as a “top-notch” paratrooper, Ivan was arranged to share a room with Beckham.
In the words of the media who knew about this incident, England's two most handsome players slept together (crossed out), in the same room.
It was Rooney who knocked on the door. He poked his head in excitedly and whispered, "Hey, Alvin, do you want to go to the bar downstairs and sing some songs together?"
He deliberately lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to be heard by Irving's roommate Beckham, who was afraid that he would complain to Capello.
Who made Beckham a member of the coaching team now?
Rudy Gay moved aside, and Ivan saw behind him, several young players, led by Joe Hart, with eager faces. Ivan even saw Gerrard and Lampard, who were supposed to be more stable and not wasteful.
...Gerrard may not be unaware that he is the quasi-captain of England.
Beckham, who had very good hearing, had appeared behind Ivan. He glanced at Gerrard quietly, which made everyone shudder.
"Ahem, David..." Terry said embarrassedly. He wanted to apologize and say that he was "aiding and abetting the evil."
Beckham glanced at the young men who were ready to die. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Where are you going to play? Why don't you take me with you?"
They sneaked to the singing place in the hotel like thieves. During the process, they met some suspicious hotel staff, and they immediately thought of Ivan.
Rooney whispered: "Ivan, smile."
Ivan: “…”
#Beauty is also a tactic.
However, when it really came time to sing, the people who had been most active in proposing the songs became timid. After all, the boss was present, so shouldn't he choose the songs first?
It’s not good to sing some lingering love songs…
How about something exciting?
Then they thought about it and decided that the most suitable one was "Football Comes Home".
Sing home before the game? Ivan was silent.
"There are recording devices here," Fat Lu said excitedly, "This is a moment worth remembering. I want to record it and take it home to treasure it. Hehehe."
Ivan: “…”
He suggested: "How about changing the song?"
Everyone looked over, and Alvin didn't hesitate to order a song called "Heroes".
"We are the heroes of our time!"
——Ivan: We are the irreplaceable heroes of this era.
June 16, Rustenburg, Royal Bamfokeng Stadium.
The Royal Bamfokeng Stadium can only accommodate 38,646 people and is the smallest of the 10 stadiums prepared for the South Africa World Cup. This is probably to prevent too many people from taking advantage of the situation.
Hundreds of journalists flocked to Rustenburg for the upcoming battle between Britain and the United States.
As representatives of all of England, Prince William and his brother Prince Harry came to the front line regardless of wind and rain.
South African security departments are very nervous about this match because of the threat posed by terrorist organizations.
England fans are very nervous. They didn't want to be in the same group with the United States. This is just an unexpected disaster.
Please don't let anything happen to our national treasure of England, God bless you.
Overall they are still full of confidence. Capello is a championship coach, and they also have the lucky charm Xiao Tiantian.
Ivan was not in the starting lineup and Capello did not let him play first. Generally speaking, the United States is not a very strong opponent. Although the US midfield is indeed stronger than England's without Ivan, Capello's tactics are not centered around Ivan.
The championship coach wants to see how well he can get the two D'Antoni players to perform when Barry is injured and Ivan is not involved in the midfield.
The commentator on the England side kept shooting the camera to the bench. In the camera, the England sweetheart whom they most expected to see play was sitting quietly and watching the game attentively.
Capello still had no expression on his face, and Ivan's fans were a little disappointed.
The camera panned around and even walked around the stands, spotting many people it didn't normally see.
for example--
In the VIP stands, Chris Evans was discussing some basic football rules with his friend Sebastian Stan who came along temporarily.
Sebastian Stan, who actually knows nothing about football, discussed with Chris Evans, who only watched rugby and played golf: "We are close to England's half, and that side is America's half. If the ball goes this way, we need to get excited, right?"
The two people were obviously dressed up before coming and looked very photogenic.
Evans was clean-shaven, like a freshly peeled peach.
Sebastian, the soccer knowledge popularization expert, Stan, the fake fan: "Hey, the ball went over there! Are we being attacked?!"
Mr. Tao looked over there and was about to nod when he found that the stadium was boiling!
Sebastian Stan, who was cheering for the American team, opened his eyes wide and his voice rang out: "England scored a goal?! So soon?!"
#384: Is the US going to be defeated so soon? We won’t be suppressed, right? QAQ
The goal was scored by England captain Gerrard. He scored the first goal for England four minutes into the game!
The Sky Sports commentator shouted: "This is a dream start!"
The author has something to say: I will post one chapter first and continue coding after dinner.
I recommend you listen to that song, it's called "Heroes"
Chapter 90: Send out red envelopes, send out 50~
384 is the Chinese transliteration of Sebastian~
Chris Evans is always peach. He looks like a peach when he shaves his beard, and like a kiwi when he keeps a beard.
