Chapter 384 Rodel's Lesson
A big away victory over Germany, a shame that he had never defeated Germany and the last national team in the away game in 36 years. England fans were excited. The failure in the European Championship last year has become a thing of the past. Let's take a look at the outstanding performance of the Premier League teams in the European arena in recent years. The elites of these teams have gathered, and the English national team has reproduced the honor of winning the world championship in 1966. It's only a matter of time left...
In the home match against Albania on September 6, England, which performed much worse than the previous game, still defeated Albania 2-0 at home, successfully relied on the advantage of goal difference to suppress Germany to become the first in the group. Now the last round of the group game is left. As long as England defeats Greece in the last round, they can take their destiny into their own hands, qualify as the first in the group, and throw their old rival Germany to play the playoffs.
After winning these two victories, Erikson finally began to be accepted by the harsh British, but the other beneficiary was Xiao Ming. Before the game started, all English fans clearly heard Xiao Ming's analysis and assertions of the game, and the final result of the game was just like his judgment. England not only broke the record of unwinding in the past 36 years, but also really won a brilliant victory as he said!
Although Xiao Ming is a Chinese, he is more likely to be accepted by the stubborn English with his British Empire passport. While celebrating the team's victory, a considerable majority of fans insist that victory was destined before the start of the game, because Xiao Ming, who had been constantly winning in the European arena, had already predicted this victory. In this game, he only lost one goal at the home court of the Germans, and the defense line composed of most of the players of Leiden Oriental, was scored by Leiden Oriental midfielder Gerrard...
To some extent, the British are proud, and they are so proud that they don’t bother paying attention to other teams’ games. However, throughout the European continent, the shocking thing in this World Cup qualifiers in addition to England’s away sweeping Germany, another more shocking news is that the Netherlands missed the 202 World Cup!
In the September 1st game, the Netherlands lost to Ireland zero-to-one away. With only the last round of their group B, they were already four quarters behind the top two Portugal and Ireland, and even the qualification to participate in the playoffs has been lost.
Since 1986, the Orange Legion missed the World Cup for the first time. In next year's Korean and Japanese World Cup, fans around the world will not be able to see Van der Sar, Frank Debor, Stam, Davis, Siddorf, Van Ny, Cruivet, Koku, Ovemas, Borgkamp... The figures of these stars have to be said to be a huge loss in the World Cup.
Xiao Ming was a little worried about this, because he didn't know if Fanny would be hit hard if he missed the World Cup again after losing to participate in the European Cup due to injury - after all, Fanny is now 24 years old, and he will be twenty-eight years old next World Cup. Even in the next European Cup, he will be twenty-six years old. He can only represent the national team in the World Championship at the age of twenty-six. It is obviously an unacceptable thing for such an excellent player.
What is eye-catching is the nineteen-year-old striker Defoe. His combination with DiCanho has become a powerful partner of West Ham United, and another young midfielder Carrick has become a new product of West Ham United's youth training camp. In the game against Chelsea, it was Carrick and Defoe who each scored a goal, helping West Ham United defeat Chelsea who is in the blood exchange at home.
Such results also made Glen Rodel feel proud. The 46-year-old head coach can also be considered among the young coaches. He has been an assistant coach before, and this is his first coach independently.
It is worth mentioning that Rodel has a deep connection with Leiden Oriental. He himself is a player trained by Leiden Oriental. He played for Leiden Oriental for four seasons in the mid-1970s. At that time, it was a period of good results in Leiden Oriental's history and had been fighting in the second division. Four years later, Rodel transferred to the Royal Garden Rangers who were also in London, and then played for Notts County, Newcastle and Watford. In 1991, he returned to Leiden Oriental for a season, but he had no chance to play. After playing for the last season at Gillingham, he joined the coaching staff of West Ham United and served as an assistant coach.
When Xiao Ming led the team to play the East London derby for the first time after taking office, Rodel, who was sitting in the position of assistant coach, was also booed by fans of Leiden Oriental. In their opinion, the players trained by Leiden Oriental are also a betrayal even if they are coaching West Ham United after retirement...
This time, Leiden Oriental fans did not let Rodel go.
It’s not that the fans of Leiden East hold revenge, but because before the game started, Rodel swore that he would lead West Ham United to stop Leiden East’s unbeaten record at Brisbane Road Stadium, and said that the current Leiden East is no longer the Leiden East in the past. At that time, Leiden East was an authentic English team. What is Leiden East now? Multinational forces? Leiden East has always relied on all Leiden people to play football in history, but now, there is only one Daniel who is trained locally, and the other players are pieced together mercenaries...
Leiden East did not react very much to this, but Jin Kraze smiled and said in an interview: "Oh, it turns out that I am also a mercenary."
This sentence immediately aroused the anger of the fans of Leiden Oriental. Jin Klaze's performance and loyalty over the past seven years are obvious to all. Even if he is a Georgian, even if he is a player Xiao Ming introduced from abroad, Leiden Oriental fans have long regarded him as their own person. Many people even called on Jin Klaze to marry a local wife of Leiden. By then, the Georgians will become Leiden's son-in-law. Is such a player more admirable than the "people" of West Ham United who have been trained by themselves and will transfer and leave?
So on the day of the game, the singing of Leiden Oriental fans and ridicule of Rodel were filled with the sings of the fans of Leiden and the laughter of Rodel, and someone put out a banner: "Glenn, after you leave, we will become European champions!"
Rodel left Leiden East in 1992. Two years later, a young Chinese man took Leiden East. Seven years later, Leiden East became the winner of the two consecutive championships in the Champions League...
However, compared with the unfriendly behavior in the stands, the players are still relatively friendly.
Ashley Cole had a pleasant chat with Defoe before the start of the game. Later, Xiao Ming learned that when they were young, they had played for an amateur senrab team. At that time, they were partners on the front line. In that team, in addition to the two of them, there were Leeds' bad boy Bowyer, John Terry, who made his mark at Chelsea last season, and Ridley King, who joined the first team of Tottenham Hotspur this season to replace Campbell. With this friendship, the two of them were naturally old friends.
But in the game, Ashley Cole did not appear very friendly to Defoe.
Before the game started, Xiao Ming made targeted arrangements for the two West Ham United rookies. Although Carrick is tall, he is not very good in his ability to confront. At the same time, he is a midfielder with excellent dispatching ability and a strong sense of rhythm. As long as he interrupts his sense of rhythm, his control in the midfield will be reduced by a level.
What's more, Carrick is only 20 years old now. Although he has played the main player for one season last season, he still looks much younger than a star like Gerald who has begun to establish his own status in the national team.
Defoe is the same. He is only 1.7 meters tall and weighs only 65 kilograms. He is purely a sensitive center. His speed and skills are quite good, but his ability to confrontation is very poor. Under the pinch and collision of two tall central defenders in Leiden East, he cannot get much performance. Even if he pulls to the side, he will face Daniel's collision and Ashley Cole's desperate battle.
The two young players who performed well in the first few rounds did not perform well in this game at all. West Ham United performed normally but only experienced Dicanho. His skills brought great trouble to Leiden Oriental's defense line. However, after Daniel, who was younger, faster and better in body, targeted Dicanho, the Italian veteran was a little unable to perform.
Daniel didn't use any defensive skills to deal with him, it was nothing more than a big axe to cut a big tree, running, rushing, and disturbing... In the Premier League, some of his actions that were similar to fouls would not be called fouls at all.
While stabilizing the defense line, Leiden East was not idle in the offense.
Although Figo was on the bench, Leiden Oriental's offense was not greatly affected. Glenshare was a huge gap with Figo in terms of ability and fame, but his speed was incomparable to Figo. In the Premier League, his speed winger is still very useful.
While Jin Klaze on the other side was a little tired, Glenshare also became an important part of Leiden's Eastern offense.
He kept sprinting on the side, torturing the opponent's left-back with his speed and impact, and then constantly passed the ball into the penalty area. Although his grasp of the timing of the crossing and the accuracy of the passing are still far from that of Figo, quantitative change will also cause qualitative change. With so many crosses, it would be a terrible thing that Fanny, who was angry, couldn't catch it.
In the first half, Fanny scored two consecutive games with his head and feet, helping Leiden East to gain a two-goal lead. Seeing that there was a big advantage on the field, Xiao Ming replaced Jin Klaze with Joe Cole, and then replaced Ronaldo with Klose, and began to use simpler tactics to deal with West Ham United.
Even so, West Ham United still doesn't have many opportunities. Facing his old club, Joe Cole, has no intention of keeping up. After all, he doesn't have many opportunities in Leiden East. If he doesn't seize it at this time, he will only get fewer and fewer opportunities to play.
With Leiden East's offense focused on the wing, West Ham United could barely support it, but Rodel made an extremely unwise move at this time. He replaced a forward with a defender, trying to strengthen the offense, or at least win back one point and save some face.
Originally, West Ham United's defense line could not be supported. At this time, a defender had to be replaced with a forward, and West Ham United's defense line immediately became a little collapsed.
Two young players who played in the second half joined forces to contribute a beautiful attack. Joe Cole made a arc ball at a forty-five-degree angle and passed it into the penalty area. Klose inserted in the back row, and an extremely powerful rushing force pushed the opponent's defender and pushed the ball into the goal, three to zero.
Then two substitute wing forwards played continuously, and Joe Cole sent out his last pass, and Glenshare, who broke into the penalty area, raised his foot and hit the ball in the dead corner, making the former England goal David James not react at all.
The defeat was like a mountain of defeat.
Seeing that he wanted to strengthen his attack, Leiden East blasted the door open again and again. Rodel kept shouting loudly off the court, but still could not restore the decline of West Ham United.
Xiao Ming looked from afar as Rodel's tie was loosened, his glasses slid down below his nose, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he shook his head with a smile.
Mr. Rodel, it is also a very good idea to build the confidence of players by challenging strong teams. After all, West Ham United is mainly young players, and confidence is a very important thing. Unfortunately, you found the wrong opponent...
Today's game is just to teach you a lesson. Angering your opponent may indeed make your opponent lose your calmness, but you must first consider that when a strong opponent does not calmly attack you, you will not be able to withstand it.
