The King of Football

The King of Football
The crowds before the Anglo-Afghan War


The Anglo-Afghan war, whether in terms of football or politics, is destined to be described in just four words - a lot of attention.


In the Falklands War of 1982, Argentina was defeated.Since then, the confrontation between Argentina and England on the battlefield has also concluded some of the peak duels between Argentina and England on the football field!


In addition to the victory of the Argentine National Glory Independent Team over the mighty Liverpool dynasty in the Toyota Cup final, both teams have created many classic games at the World Cup only.In the 1986 World Cup, the two teams have created many classic games, at the Aztec Stadium in Mexico, Maradona After the World War I was bestowed god, since then, has been the special label of a generation of football champions through five men and the hands of God.


At the 1998 World Cup, David Beckham, then a rookie in the national team, broke the beam with Argentine general Simeone... Until last year's World Cup qualifiers, David Beckham used a full moon sword to destroy it. England went straight to the World Cup finals before allowing England fans to put aside their prejudices against him.


It seems that every Anglo-Afghan war created some legends. In the previous war between England and Argentina, Michael Owen's defence in Argentina was overturned, and David Beckham's penalty helped him succeed in revenge...


Of course, it was the Anglo-Afghan War in his previous life!


“Can we beat such a strong Argentina?” This is a slogan given by the British media before the game. A fearsome Argentina beat Nigeria 3-0 in the group stage of the World Cup, and they also wasted a lot of time in the game. Good score chances!


As for England, they were drawn by their old rival Sweden, which left them having to fight for victory against Argentina to take their own fate.


In terms of the Argentine media, "Ole" and "Clarion" all believe that this Argentine team has the ability to destroy England with an attack! In particular, the emergence of new captain Leon Weir has made attacking methods of Argentina diverse.


His exceptional set-piece ability will not make opponents dare to provide set-piece opportunities to Argentina indiscriminately.


...


Speaking of the fourth match-day of the World Cup, the Bullfighters proved their incredible strength by sweeping Slovenia, and the Spaniard, who did not lose a single defeat in qualifying, was also hugely popular for a while.


Brazil play on the fifth match day. After fighting hard, they defeated the Turks of the Star and Moon Army. At the moment, Brazil has not shown the appearance of its championship.


In fact, Brazil won the 2002 World Cup thanks to China. Just because of Brazil's 4-0 morale, they reached unprecedented heights. The perfect explosion of the three Rs stimulated their country. The games shown by Brazilian talent their championship performances.


On the fifth day, there was also an Italian team that came up with four strikers to beat Ecuador in their first game.


The sixth match day of the World Cup was the appearance of three East Asian teams. The scores from these three games are all 2 .. well, really 2. China lost 0-2 to Costa Rica, and Japan drew 2-2. Belgium, South Korea beat Poland 2-0...


On the day of the seventh game of the World Cup, it was an unpopular day again, the Portuguese was kicked 3-0 by the Americans less than 30 minutes into the first round! Although the final score was 2 to 3, Portugal's annoyance also made people sigh about this World Cup.


At this point, there were only two days left before the Anglo-Afghan War.


This match between England and Argentina also has a life and death clue. Group of deaths means that each point cannot be lost. Losing a point might mean you are eliminated.


...


The day before the Anglo-Afghan War, Sapporo Hotel.


"It looks like France can't win..." The Argentine players watched the game of defending champions France together.


At this time, the French team drew 0-0 with Uruguay, and France's leading striker Thierry Henry was sent off in the match...


"Everything went really bad!" - "AFP" said after the game.


The goddess of fate no longer sided with France, the French team hit the post in the match against Uruguay, and they hit the post twice in the first game against Senegal... France are really too many at this World Cup Unlucky.


“Okay guys, come back and rest, it's time we play tomorrow.” After the match France vs Uruguay, Bielsa also drove the players back to his room.


"Whoo-o!" England, opponents.


Fucking grouping! Didn't this make us reveal our strength first in the group stage?


As long as the Korean team and the Japanese team were always in groups, Bielsa was feeling very upset here.


...


“Leon, good morning.” The next day, at eleven in the morning, Leon who was about to go to the restaurant, happened to meet Zanetti.


The Inter Milan captain walked up to Leon with a smile: "How, could you rest last night?"


Leon nodded, "It's okay to sleep, but Camby likes to snore."


"Haha! By the way, Leon, I heard Real Madrid are ready to call back Camby, right? What about you, what's your plan going forward?" ask Zanetti curiously.


"This is. I have not decided. Let's wait until the World Cup is over. Let's see how the club and my agent will speak." How could Zanetti suddenly ask himself this question? In other words, why did Leon increasingly feel that Zanetti's eyes were not now...


It was like a big wolf howling and looking at the fat little white rabbit.


"Well, Leon, don't blame me for talking too much. In fact, I think with your strength at the moment, it's a bit difficult to keep growing in Argentina. You have to come to Europe early and accept the most advanced football. Here, you can go further." Zanetti smiled and walked over to the restaurant with Leon, the two said as they held onto the food.


"I thought so too" replied Leon.


After the two spent the meal together, Zanetti continued: "Leon, have you ever wanted to play in a giant team?"


This is really not true! Why do you ask that? At the moment, Leon suddenly remembered Mendes as if to tell himself that among all the European giants that were chasing him, there were now four clubs with the highest seriousness, namely Barcelona in La Liga, Inter Milan in Serie A and the Premier League. AC Milan in Serie A!


Of course, according to Mendes, Manchester United in the Premier League and Real Madrid in La Liga are all very interested in themselves...


Needless to say Real Madrid, Manchester United's Leon knows that the man Ferguson wants might be Kaka! By the way, Ferguson's vision is not much worse than Wenger's...


Beckham, Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo... While you can say that these people were already famous before Manchester United became superstars, there are many famous people in the world!


Why didn't Ferguson buy Cristiano Ronaldo over Quaresma, who was more popular in Portugal at the time?


That's because Ferguson knows people! If he doesn't bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to his hometown of Portugal for reflection, how can he achieve Cristiano Ronaldo's future achievements?


As for the reason why Ferguson was interested in himself, I'm afraid it's because he can play as a bottom defender! Keane is old Despite performing well at this World Cup, Keane is old!


Ferguson needs someone who can take Keane's class.


But Keane can still play for a few years, so Ferguson's desire for himself is not so great.


So it seems like there is only one giant chasing itself, and it never slows down - Inter Milan!


Why would Zanetti ask himself that? Does it have anything to do with Inter Milan?


Leon's thoughts quickly generated a lot of thought, but he still looked at Zanetti and smiled: "Of course, it's every player's dream to play at a giant club."


Zanetti nodded, “Really? Well, you're right Leon. By the way, Leon, come to Italy if you have the chance, I will take you to the fashion capital, it's a beautiful city.”


After Leon 'um', he concentrated on breakfast.


Since the match between Argentina and England was in prime time at 7pm, eleven o'clock could only be considered as breakfast.


After breakfast with Zanetti, Leon brings a copy back to Camby, who is still sleeping.


Just as he parted ways with Zanetti, Zanetti suddenly patted Leon on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Leon, you have to remember that when the team is facing difficulties, as captain, you have to remember that when the team is facing difficulties, you have to stand up and sometimes, as captain, don't be afraid to offend people, as long as you are for the victory and the future of the team, then everyone will definitely understand you in the future.


Leon doesn't know what Zanetti told him, do you think Zanetti we're going to have trouble today?


Leon shook his head, then pushed open the door of the hotel room...


Camby this guy! Still sleeping!


...


Before the Anglo-Argentine war, it was four in the afternoon.


"Okay, guys, we're leaving right after dinner. I specifically arranged for the hotel chef to cook a lot of Argentinian food for lunch! Our opponent is England tonight, I think, I don't need to move? " It's about four o'clock in the afternoon, but why did Bielsa arrange lunch so late?


Since the average athlete wants to sleep more than an hour or two after eating, it makes sense to eat something about three hours before the start of the competition...


The Argentinian players at the restaurant were in high spirits, "Break up the fucking English!!!!"


Although 20 years have passed since the Falklands War, for Argentina, it is still a national disgrace!


Lose and give up... Argentine football has never happened!


In 1986 we won against England and in 1998 we also won against England! Now, there are a lot of fans in China waiting for us to bring victory back!


...


At another high-end hotel in Sapporo, Japan, the British team had finished their lunch and were ready to leave.


It's a young England team, 27-year-old Beckham is in full bloom, young Gerrard is yet to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, and young Ashley Cole is yet to become world number one, Michael Owen young...


Of course, Erickson also brought in experienced Scholes, Campbell...


In the words of the British media, this is a UK full of energy and experience.In the future, you will not see England like that.


In fact, Leon had thought of a question in his previous life.If there was no job challenging Ronaldinho, then if England reached the final completely...


With Michael Owen at that World Cup, and the state of the entire England team, they really have a chance to win their second World Cup!


As the England team departed from the hotel, a large number of fans saw them, many of them Japanese female fans...


They shouted wildly: "David! David! David!"


This English team has the highest popularity!


Sitting on the England team bus, Beckham recalled the game four years ago, when he was still...


Anglo-Afghan War is about to break out!
