Godfather Of Champions

The fans and the media are concerned about the offensive talents of the French team. Their goals and assists can bring sensory pleasure to the fans. But anyone who really understands football knows that the French team can always win this way. The biggest hero is not Benzema or Gourcuff, but the most inconspicuous little black man in the midfield-Lasena Dia Pull.

The 31-year-old Diarra is in his prime. For him, this European Cup is also his best chance to win the honor of the World Series. But if you want to realize your wishes, one person cannot avoid it.

George Wood is one year younger than him and is recognized as the No. 1 midfielder in world football today. Although the club's poor results in the past two years have affected his performance, he is a well-deserved core in the England national team. He has not started this European Cup, only played in the first two games, the total time does not exceed 45 minutes. But that short playing time is enough to prove how good George Wood is.

The media are not interested in the dialogue between the lower back. Diarra knows that this opponent is heavy.

He doesn't know whether George Wood will start the game tonight or come off the bench. If Wood is going to play, then I must pay close attention to him, because now George Wood is no longer the blue-collar worker who can only defend, and he is also responsible for organizing offense. How about he is the core of England? A brash man who can only defend is impossible to become the core.

With eight hours left before the start of the game, the media paid special attention to England's starting roster. So far, Dunn has no intention to release it. It seems that he will not announce the starting list until the team enters the locker room.

Media from all over the world gathered outside the hotel where the England team stayed, hoping to dig out valuable news from the players. Unfortunately, the players themselves don't know the starting list.

The media pays so much attention to the starting list, naturally there is only one reason-can George Wood start in today's game?

Dunn insisted on bringing Wood to Spain. He said that Wood's foot injury would heal after entering the knockout round and would not affect the game. So the eighth finals should be the day when Wood returns. As a result, Wood's first appearance occurred in the final round of the group stage, against the German team. It was an early comeback, but this delayed his official comeback. He continued to sit on the bench against the Swedish team and did not get a chance to play until the second half.

Will he start the game against the French team?

The players in England shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Actually Mitchell knew it, but Wood had reminded him not to mention this to others. This was the boss's request. Mitchell, who admired the boss so much, naturally closed his mouth tightly.

The media knew that he and Wood lived in the same room, so they all came to ask him. He just smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard similar rumors... Of course I hope George can play the game, but I am not a team doctor or a head coach... That's all I can say."

Dunn had been drinking coffee in the hotel lobby, but none of the media came forward to interview him. They all know that if they can't dig out news from the players, let alone ask any valuable news from the head coach. This person always has great prejudice against the news media. If he doesn't want to say that you can move out "freedom of the press", he will not be scared. The news that the media can get is basically what he wants to say. Thinking about it this way, the news media is really tragedy. It's like a dog in his family. When he's in a good mood, he feeds something and wags his tail happily. If you are in a bad mood and shut it down for ten and a half months, you can't complain. Longer.

Unlike England, the starting roster of the French team was announced when they set off to the stadium, and it was no different from the lineup of the previous few games. Puel did not change by himself.

The French team played 451. The top forward was Benzema. Behind him were three attacking midfielders lined up, with Gourcuff in the middle, Nasri on the right and Ben Alpha on the left. Behind the three attacking midfielders are two central midfielders, with Flamini on the left and Lasena Diarra on the right. The left back is Clichy from Arsenal, the right back is also from Arsenal Sarnia, and one of the two central defenders is the 26-year-old central defender Mamadou Sacco who plays for Serie A giants Juventus. , And the other is Mekses playing for Rome. The goalkeeper is Lloris.

Even if it's just the release time of a starting list, the French can find a sense of superiority. They claim that the announcement of the starting roster in advance shows that Puel's team is confident and not afraid of any team's challenge. This is the mentality that a championship-level team should have. And Tony Dunn has been hiding from the starting list, this behavior just shows his inner panic and helplessness. Until now, I dare not publish the starting list. Does it just mean that George Wood's foot injury is not healed?

A group of French people began to move around. They eliminated the English and entered the semi-finals, then cut the host Spain to the horse, and finally met with Italy in the final. In the final, they defeated Italy 3-0 and reported that they lost in the World Cup final ten years ago in Germany. The dream of losing the enemy of the champion.

"The starting roster for the England team has not been announced for a long time. I think George Wood's injury is the only cause. Based on the analysis, we can conclude that Wood's foot injury has not recovered." In a special program on French TV before the game, The two experts invited are analyzing the game for the French audience. Generally speaking, they are talking about the French team, and the unfavorable factors are all on the English side.

"If George Wood's foot injury is really healed, I believe Tony Dunn will announce it as soon as possible for the purpose of fighting the enemy's psychology." Another expert who claims to know Tony Dunn quite well Also analyzed. "But so far, there is no news. It only means that Wood’s foot injury is not good enough to start a game. I think Dunn’s plan for this game is the same as the previous two games. Wood will be sent in the second half. So we must establish the lead in the first half, and it is very important for us to score as soon as possible..."

On the large-screen TV wall behind the studio, the scene of the two teams coming to the stadium is being broadcast live. The French team’s buses naturally appeared frequently, and England only gave a few shots when they arrived on the stadium.

The host was chatting with the experts about the upcoming game for a while, his face was full of smiles, and there was no tension and anxiety before the war. Maybe they are all experienced veterans, maybe they think that their team is stronger than England, and it is not a problem to beat England.

However, their smiles all solidified after getting the England starting list from the front reporter from the stadium.

As a live show, the cold scene is terrible. But now the host is in the cold...

He was stunned with the list in his hand, but the two experts around him still didn't understand what was happening, and were still giggling beside him.

The host who quickly realized that he had lost his mind quickly made up for it. He coughed: "We...we just got the starting roster for the England team..." He looked at the two experts, and the other side immediately said "I Very interested" expression.

"George Wood's debut." After the host said it, the expressions of the two experts changed instantly. It was as if someone had just been stuffed with a bunch of live flies.

"This..." One stood blankly on the spot, and the other responded quickly, and immediately answered: "It looks like Tony Dunn is going to try his best..."

England's starting lineup was played on the big screen, with George Wood sitting in the midfield and partnering with Gerrard.

Like the hosts and experts in this French show, the media from various countries are surprised. When English reporters saw this list, they couldn't even believe it. After reacting, they didn't dare to think about the good side. They thought Dunn was taking a risk. Wood's injury was not good at all, but Dunn was trying to defeat France. The team was forced to choose.

"Even if we win France and make Wood's injury worse, how can we play Spain in the semifinals?"

"Tang En did so without consideration!"

"Will Wood voluntarily ask for the battle or Dunn's request? This has to be investigated carefully..."

When the reporters were talking about it, the English players in the dressing room were also surprised.

They looked at Dunn who was standing in front of the tactical board, and then at Wood who was sitting on the side. Just now, the boss announced that George Wood was among the four starting midfielders in this game.

"Are your feet good? George?" Rooney got up and asked, this is also a question that everyone cares about.

"No problem," Wood replied.

In fact, this morning, the team doctor White also gave Wood a special check. He believed that Wood's foot injury was recovering smoothly and he was ready to start a game. Dunn's heart can finally be put down completely.

Wood’s return was originally a very happy thing, but when you think about the unusual words and deeds of the boss in the past few days, everyone’s hearts have sunk to the bottom-is it because the boss is worried that the current lineup will not be able to beat France, Did Wood force the starter?

The eyes of these people looked at Wood with a little more doubt. They don't believe that Wood's right big toe is really all right now.

Dunn certainly knows what the players are thinking now, but he just didn't see it and didn't explain it. Now the players are quite dissatisfied with the French team, of course they are dissatisfied with him, but this dissatisfaction can be turned into motivation, and it is meaningless to say it.

After introducing the starting list, he repeated yesterday's tactical arrangement, and Dunn clapped his hands: "Good luck to you."

He didn't give a long speech and delivered a passionate speech, so he ended the final preparations before the game.

But no one cared about his strange behavior, anyway, they were angry with the boss now, it's okay for him to talk less.

Dunn did not stay in the locker room anymore. Now with a few minutes before the appearance, Dunn walked out with assistant coach Des Walker, leaving room for the players.

As soon as the boss left, the players immediately became active and gathered around Wood: "Is it really all right, George?"

Wood nodded affirmatively: "It's okay."

"The boss's performance these days makes me very upset..." Someone looked at the locker room door, frowning and said: "He clearly looks down on us, aren't you angry, George?"

Wood shook his head: "If you think he is wrong, prove it to him if you win the French team."

Wood is someone who knows what Dunn’s idea is. As the captain, he is obligated to help the coach successfully implement tactical arrangements, including lying.

When the English players gathered around Wood and asked about this, in the French team's locker room, they also got news that George Wood would start playing.

Puel was a little surprised, he didn't expect Wood to start. But this also cites his previous analysis from another aspect-Tony Dunn's fear of the French team is real, not made up by him. Otherwise, he won't let Wood risk the starting lineup. George Wood is the only trump card in Dunn's hand. In order to win the French team, he had to send Wood, who has not fully recovered.

Thinking of Puel's heart quickly settled down here, a George Wood can't turn the sky, the powerful French team has nothing to worry about.

He continued to tell the players what to pay attention to during the game for a while. But he didn't notice that someone below was absent...

There may not be many Frenchmen who are happy with Wood’s starting game, but Lasena Diarra must belong to this minority.

The man sitting next to Diarra is the midfielder Figuri, who did not start. He quickly discovered Diarra's strangeness.

Diarra, with his head down, was trembling slightly, and the knuckles of one of his hands were white.

"Hey, Russ. What's the matter with you?" Figurie gently touched Diarra next to him, and asked caringly.

Diarra stopped the slight trembling of his body, raised his head and grinned at Figuri, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "Nothing, I was a little excited about the thought of winning England and going to the semifinals..."

Figuri thought Diarra’s answer was a bit funny. He is no longer a rookie, a 31-year-old veteran. Is he so excited just to enter the semifinals?

Diarra ignored Feiguli's eyes. Not everyone can understand the desire for opponents, and more explanations are useless. Anyway, now that he is very happy, George Wood is starting, and this game becomes more meaningful.
