Before the game, the atmosphere of England was pretty good. Everyone was talking about Joe Cole's problems. On this day, Joe Cole was the protagonist of the team because his signing issue with Chelsea has been announced.—{2}{3}{w}{x}]

On this day, Joe Cole successfully renewed his contract with Chelsea for four years. In the past two seasons, the England midfielder has become a new discovery for the club and the national team.

His future at Stamford Bridge will be guaranteed after renewing his contract with Chelsea.

"What makes me happy is that we soon agreed on all issues and I will stay at Chelsea for the next four years. I would like to thank the boss Roman, CEO Kenion for this contract renewal. The most important thing is that I would like to thank the Chelsea fans, who have supported me since I joined the team."

"Chelsea is a great club with great fans. Once the World Cup is over, I will be fully committed to the new season and we will compete for the Champions League and all other titles, and we are very likely to win the league for the third consecutive time."

Those are the official languages ​​of Joe Cole, and they were spoken by his agent. While congratulating him, England teammates directly asked him to treat him to dinner because Joe Cole's weekly salary is quite high. This new contract has more than doubled his salary, with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds, and the total amount of the four-year contract is as high as 16 million pounds, making him a high-salary among Chelsea.

Many people were also a little envious while congratulating Joe Cole.

Even in the England team, the weekly salary of 80,000 pounds is considered high. Of course, this cannot be compared with Gerald, Beckham and others, but it is definitely a relatively high salary among the twenty-three people, much higher than others like Hargreaves, Neville and others.

Hargreaves laughed and said that he would also transfer to Chelsea.

Then a group of envious and jealous teammates would kill Joe Cole with a fierce blow, but Joe Cole immediately shifted the topic to Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Tiehan's contract has not been negotiated, but the transfer is almost over. After the game, Zhang Zhenren will return to England to discuss the contract with Chelsea carefully.

Everyone started asking.

Most of the teammates have no special thoughts about Zhang Tiehan's transfer to Chelsea, but they are very interested in his new contract. After all, Zhang Tiehan is the highest transfer in the world of 100 million euros, so the new contract provided to him by Chelsea is really imaginable.

"Six years." Zhang Tiehan has been a year.

It is certain that Chelsea cannot pay a transfer fee of over 100 million euros for a three-year contract, otherwise the transfer would be too unsecured.

Transfers involve a lot of things, but it's not just Zhang Tiehan's visit to Chelsea to play. The transfer fee often involves Zhang Tiehan's contract at Liverpool, as well as the new contract signed by Zhang Tiehan with the club, etc. The transfer fee of 100 million euros can already explain a lot.

Even if the formal contract has not been confirmed, based on experience, Zhang Tiehan's weekly salary will never be less than £160,000, which means that after transferring to Chelsea, his annual salary will not be less than £8 million before tax.

This number is horrifying enough.

You should know that Zhang Tiehan is only 22 years old and can have such a contract. Chelsea paid a lot of money for him. At the same time, Zhang Tiehan actually feels that the pressure is quite high. He has to perform with the salary he receives. With such a high salary, he will perform well. Only fans think it is normal and perform a little bit. He will definitely be criticized by various media.

Are you doing poorly with such a high salary? Do you get a club right?

Everyone will say that.

However, Joe Cole's transfer of the topic was not very successful. After all, Zhang Tiehan's contract has not been finalized yet, and Joe Cole has been finalized. As a result, everyone unanimously discussed finding an opportunity to kill Joe Cole.

Joe Cole looked at his teammates and said how he spent his money, and felt that the whole world was much more sad.

...

Before the game, the whole team in England seemed very low-key. In an interview with the media, they did not mention the victory or defeat of the game, but they just said that the team would work hard to win, but their confidence still revealed something.

On the contrary, Trinidad and Tobago seem to be in order to build confidence for the team. They appear to be very active in front of the media before the game. Perhaps this is because the 10-man draw Sweden brings them the hope of qualifying. After the first round, Trinidad and Tobago tied for second in the group with Sweden, which is indeed a chance.

The team's midfielder Span believes that the team has the strength to qualify in the group and enters the second stage.

"I'm happy for the team. We showed the Warriors' spirit. Our performance convinced me that as long as we work together, we can go to the second stage."

Span is the player who most hopes that Trinidad and Tobago can enter the second stage. Because he was injured during the British warm-up match, the team doctor believes that it will be difficult for him to fully recover before the end of the group stage. Span himself is optimistic. He thinks he recovers quickly and can even participate in the first game.

Trinidad and Tobago's original goalkeeper Jack is still receiving treatment, and his situation may be more complicated. Heathlop, who performed very well in the first game, has posed a serious threat to his main position.

But this semi-main player in Trinidad and Tobago is really hard to attract the media's interest - no matter what he says, he is too unfamous after all.

Other players, such as former Manchester United star York, even if he doesn't say anything, the media will turn the topic on him.

"In the match between England and Trinidad and Tobago, there will be an interesting scene - Beckham will meet with his former close comrade York, but there is no champagne and beer, but only the murderous aura of fighting for their own main players." The World Sports said.

In an interview, Beckham also reminded his teammates, "Don't ignore York. Although he is 34 years old, I understand that he is the most threatening one of his opponents."

Beckham affirmed his friendship with York, "We have been friends for many years, and we have been comrades who have been together through thick and thin. We once spent the 1999 Triple Champions League together at Manchester United."

However, the battle is imminent, and each of them is responsible for their own efforts, so Beckham has to temporarily leave his friendship: "He is an outstanding player, outstanding enough to make any defender in the world feel a headache. So, as an opponent, we must understand every detail of him on the court."

Compared with the Manchester United era, York, as the captain of Trinidad and Tobago, moved from the forward to the midfield, and he needed to deliver shells to his teammates. Beckham was also very cautious about this. "At Manchester United, he always tried to do the ball to Giggs and Andy Cole, and he was fully qualified to be the core position of the midfield, which would bring some difficulty to our defense."

Beckham also reminded the team of the fact that Trinidad and Tobago forced and Sweden. "They seem to be doing something in the World Cup, and everyone should be careful."

However, he is still very confident about England's victory. "The opponents are physically ready for battle, but they lack experience in the competition, and we can take advantage of this."

This is an interview two hours before the game.

Trinidad and Tobago soon responded. When news about the media's status of Rooney, Irving and England's forward choices were overwhelming, Trinidad and Tobago were relatively calm, York said. "These are not important issues, the key is how we suppress Beckham's pass."

"England will be one of the favorites to win this World Cup. We are not, but we are not without the possibility of defeating them. Although we are newcomers, don't forget that any accidents can happen on the football field."

York specifically mentioned his friend, England captain Beckham, "I believe that anyone in the world who knows football knows how great a player Beckham is. I don't even understand it today. Why does Manchester United want him to bear it? I think. Our biggest difficulty will be how to block Beckham's pass. Of course, I also remind my teammates not to easily foul at any position within the half court, otherwise Beckham's right foot will punish you."

York also said a few words to Zhang Tiehan, "He is an opponent and a top player worthy of vigilance. He is also the key to our desire to play well. We must always be vigilant about him."

At the same time, York also revealed to the outside world that Manchester United coach Sir Ferguson hopes England will be defeated by Trinidad and Tobago.

"In fact, many people around the world want to see England be defeated. Most of these people appear in countries north of England, including Manchester United coach Sir Ferguson, who prefer to see England be humiliated in the World Cup."

York also said Ferguson had sent blessings to him, Trinidad and Tobago. "Everyone in Scotland, including Ferguson, hopes we can have a good performance against England. If we do well and can score points in England, I can be sure that Ferguson will call us the first time to congratulate us on the next day."

In fact, many Scots will come to Germany to support Trinidad and Tobago.

This is no secret, it is a fact that the whole world knows. Scotland and England both belong to the United Kingdom, but the two teams of Scotland and England have some hatred between each other. Perhaps England does not care about Scotland because England is stronger, but the Scots definitely do not want England to achieve good results.

This is a historical reason.

But no matter what, the Scots always want England to lose, especially now that Trinidad and Tobago are playing in the Scottish League.

At the following press conference, Dutch Ben Hack and Eriksen also had a bit of tit-for-tat.

Benhack has already taken Trinidad and Tobago to complete a miracle in the World Cup, reaching the World Cup final and dating against Sweden. This can be called a miracle. Benhack is not afraid of the powerful England team. He said: "The Swedish players play for Barcelona, ​​Juventus, England's midfielders play for Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Although our players come from little-known small clubs such as Gillingham and Jablot, it is their unknown that seems mysterious. We are better at encountering battles than strong teams, and we are fearless."

Benhack firmly believes that after forcing Sweden, his team can even win against England. "I used to be the head coach of Real Madrid. I know very well that a team with big names is not easy to lead. In contrast, the children of Trinidad and Tobago are relatively simple and obedient. More united. When some teams are still arguing about whom they will be punished for corner kicks, we only have one idea in our mind to win."

Compared to the gunpowder smell of Trinidad and Tobago, Erikson seemed very dull in an interview.

In fact, he believes that it is unnecessary to fight to the death in a battle of words with his opponent.

Trinidad and Tobago, from players to coaches, are saying "strive to win". There is a reason, because they are weak teams, their strength is poor, and overall they are not confident in playing against England, so they keep saying victory and bring confidence to themselves and the whole team.

England coach Eriksen didn't target his opponent, but said that if the team could set the victory in the first half, he would send Walcott, a 17-year-old forward, to experience the atmosphere of the competition in the second half. "I don't want to put any pressure on Walcott. If our victory is decided in the game, I will let him play again."

Walcott made a appearance in the last game, but his performance was very dull. It should be said that he was really not very good. He only scored six points after the game, but a 17-year-old young player. And he was in the England team, so it would be great to have a chance to play. Rooney also started playing for England at the age of seventeen. The English media can expect another "Rooney" to rise slowly. Walcott's performance was also good. His value reached 12 million euros. I will not comment on his strength, but his potential is definitely outstanding.

Next, England coach Erikson also expressed his confidence in victory. He believed that England was stronger and deserved to win. "Accidents are accidents after all. While we value our opponents, we should also use their emotions to refuse accidents."

Erikson first affirmed the tenacity of Trinidad and Tobago, "This is a team that can make achievements in the World Cup. They have strong fighting spirit and their defense is particularly good."

However, he also believes that compared to England players who play in high-level professional clubs, Trinidad and Tobago play more emotionally. "Sislopo's several great saves have encouraged Trinidad and Tobago very well, but I believe that as long as we can score as soon as possible, their psychological defense will be broken, and they don't seem to have the psychological foundation to control such a World Cup. And we just need to take advantage of this. Of course, to deal with them, we can't first make them "crazy", that would be very dangerous."

The above is the pre-match between the two teams.

As time goes by, the Franks Stadium in Nuremberg has become popular, the teams on both sides have begun to warm up, and fans have also begun to enter the court.

According to Nuremberg police, more than 70,000 English teams will support the team in Nuremberg in this game, and the number of fans with tickets will reach more than 30,000. Considering that the Franks Stadium has only more than 45,000 seats in total, it is obvious that this game will definitely become the home court of England.

The same is true in fact.

When the fans entered the court, the two teams were still warming up on the court. At this time, the stands around the stadium had begun to recall the fans' calls. There were countless voices cheering for the England team. There were too many fans wearing white England jerseys, and the atmosphere of the England team was already there.

This is naturally what England hopes to see.

They are all fans of their own side, and the game will be much better. The atmosphere of the England team seems quite relaxed. However, after returning to the locker room, Erikson still reminds everyone to play seriously. Although the opponent is not strong, they must deal with it seriously, so as to ensure that no accidents occur.

...

Finally, the game at the Franks Stadium began.

The fans of the two teams have been waiting for a long time, and everyone is watching the game seriously. Now the Franks have almost become the home court of England. Many fans shouted the names of England and various stars to cheer for the team.

However, the England team's performance was not very good at the beginning of the game.

Joe Cole dribbled the ball from the wing and was directly interrupted by Trinidad and Tobago players. Then Trinidad and Tobago launched a counterattack, with a smooth and fast counterattack that almost hit the football into the England penalty area.

One minute of the game, both sides attacked and defended each other.

It was England's turn to attack again. This time England advanced from the middle. Lampard and Zhang Tiehan cooperated twice. Then Zhang Tiehan passed the ball to Gerald. Gerald received the pass in front of the penalty area and directly shot!

The football rushed to the fan stands like an anti-aircraft gun.

Gerald shrugged embarrassedly, and also announced the end of the attack. As Trinidad and Tobago scored the goal, the game continued to begin.

Compared with England's offense, Trinidad and Tobago seemed to have performed much better. They were not in a hurry in this wave of attack, but instead slowly cooperated to seek advancement, constantly passing and receiving the ball, and soon the football was hit to the frontcourt. Then forward S-John completed a strong shot, but Terry blocked it out of the penalty area with his body.

This was only three minutes before the opening.

The two teams had offensive and defended each other and shot each other. The England team's shot was completed by Gerald. Gerald's shot could be said to be without any threat. Before Gerald's shot, England's pass was also very simple. Zhang Tiehan and Lampard were only two, and there was no good cooperation or excellence between them. On the contrary, Trinidad and Tobago played very well. They continued to cooperate, on the wing and in the middle, and handed the ball to the forward S-John's feet through the passing, and then had the opportunity to shoot directly.

In comparison, Trinidad and Tobago seem to play better than England.

The cooperation is better, the overall situation is better, and the number of passes and other data in the offense is also more gorgeous, and the number of people in England is a little depressed. The English commentator said, "It seems that the players have not yet entered the state..." He wanted to use this to illustrate the reason for the England team's performance.

...

English fans were somewhat disappointed.

They originally thought that there was no suspense in the game against teams like Trinidad and Tobago. England should suppress the opponent and leave the opponent with no power to fight back, but now it doesn't look like this.

What's going on?

With the two groups of advances, the team is actually a little passive and is not as good as the other party?

"Trinidad and Tobago performed well. They completed a powerful shot in the first three minutes. The previous cooperation was also very fast and accurate. It seemed that their condition was better than that of England, so the game would be much more exciting." Neutral media commented happily.
