The front line problem is Eriksen's biggest trouble.

Rooney and Zhang Tiehan cannot cooperate at all. If Irving cannot participate in the game, then he has two choices. One is to use a single striker, and Walcott is used. However, Walcott has played and has not performed surprisingly. Although Irving did not perform surprisingly, he is a famous star after all. People always expect famous stars to explode, and Irving also has a stable performance.

Walcott is different.

He is just a young player and can only be regarded as a player Eriksson trained for England, not a truly powerful star. He can't play as a main player in Arsenal and has not performed well in the club, let alone the England team.

If Walcott performs poorly, Erikson will be under great pressure to start such a player, so his remaining choices are only for the forwards.

This is contradictory to Erikson.

Who is the biggest question for single forwards? Between Rooney and Zhang Tiehan, he can hardly choose to use Zhang Tiehan as single forward, because Rooney doesn't perform well in single forward position, which is well known. He is better at playing second forward and cannot play midfielder... In other words, if Irving is injured, Rooney will also be affected. He can almost only play as a substitute, or the right forward can also give him a position, but that will occupy the position of Beckham or Genes.

In short, Irving's injury has a great impact on England.

This is not just a problem with him, but a problem with the whole team and Erikson's tactics. So after the game, Erikson found his free time and went to care about Irving's injury.

Judging from the scene, Irving's injury was still very serious. He couldn't stand up when he was carried off the court, and he was sweating coldly. For the players, the flaws of fighting head-on with his opponent in the game were not terrible. What was terrible was the soft tissue strain caused by his carelessness. Unfortunately, Irving's injury this time is likely to be the latter.

When he collided with a Swedish player, the opponent's movement was not very good. It seemed that Irving fell to the ground by himself. Many replays showed that the two of them just touched it lightly. It was a collision of the sleeves during the running, and it would not cause any injuries at all. This could be seen from the referee almost blowing Irving's fake fall action at that time.

During that attack, all eyes and TV images were concentrated on Irving. Fans around the world followed the TV images to pray for Irving...

It was only a few dozen centimeters away, but the painful Irving climbed for more than ten seconds, and it seemed that he was seriously injured. Two team doctors from England on the sidelines kept communicating and shook their heads. When a team doctor just touched Irving's right knee, Irving almost bounced up from the ground like an electric shock, and at the same time let out a scream... The team doctor turned his head and signaled to go onto the stretcher.

Irving was injured, and he was seriously injured.

Irving, lying on the stretcher, covered his face with his hands, not wanting the fans to see him in pain, and not wanting the fans to see his sad tears.

Before the group stage, Irving boasted that he wanted to win the Golden Boot. But he hasn't even scored a goal yet and has not found his form at all. He doesn't want to leave just like this, but he has to leave.

Last season, Irving, who was recovering from injuries for most of the season, had already made fans worried. This time Irving was lying on the stretcher again, with a terrible injury, poor Irving. After the game, rumors said that Irving had a cruciate ligament strain, which meant that his World Cup trip was over.

Soon Eriksson roughly learned about Irving's injury. At least he would definitely not be able to participate in the next World Cup. The FA also issued a statement on its official website, saying that the scan results showed that Irving could not participate in all the remaining matches of this World Cup, and he would immediately return to England for treatment.

After preliminary diagnosis, the team doctor believed that it was a cruciate ligament strain.

However, the team doctor could not accurately grasp this result. That night, Irving was sent to a hospital in Cologne for a scan. The scanning results of the local hospital in Cologne showed that Irving was no longer able to participate in the subsequent World Cup. His right knee ligament was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee. This serious injury would cause him to leave the arena for at least 5 months.

The Newcastle Football Club where Irving is located has confirmed the news.

After Irving left England, Newcastle Football Club will take over his treatment efforts in full swing.

That night, England did not celebrate the victory. All the players went to the hospital to visit Irving, Gerald, Beckham and other old players kept coming forward and talking to Irving, hoping that he could relax, but tears still couldn't help but flow out of Irving's eyes.

Zhang Tiehan was slightly moved as he watched this scene.

Professional players...

He can understand Irving's mood. Leaving the World Cup is a huge blow to any player. You must know that this is Irving's third time participating in the World Cup. He got such a result when he participated in the third World Cup. He did not score three games, and his injury would even affect the next season's game... In addition, Irving actually just recovered from injury before the World Cup, and that injury lasted half a year. In this year, except for participating in three World Cups, he spent most of his time in recuperation.

But there is nothing to do with injuries.

After visiting Irving, the others had to leave and return to the hotel to continue their victory night, while Irving could only stay in the hospital and continue to undergo a doctor's examination.

The next day, Irving left the Cologne Hospital with a cane. Many media reporters came to interview. Irving said, "Obviously this was a serious blow. He was injured and said goodbye to the World Cup. Shortly after the accident, I realized that the trouble was in big trouble. I was very disappointed. Our results were very good. I really hope to pursue victory with everyone."

Speaking of this World Cup that has said goodbye, Irving firmly said, "I believe that my teammates will continue to move forward until they succeed. I will pay close attention to all future games of England and support everyone wholeheartedly, hoping that they can stand on the finals in Berlin."

Ferdinand and Gary Neville went to Frankfurt Hospital for a scan that day. Both of them had very optimistic results. Ferdinand was suspected of being injured in the match against Sweden yesterday, but yesterday's results confirmed that he had no problem participating in the quarterfinals.

Gary Neville was injured before, but he will also return to the training ground for England.

This is good news.

In fact, the injury of England has always been a problem. Before the World Cup, Rooney almost couldn't catch the last bus, but now Irving has to leave early. For England, this is definitely a "bad news".

For Irving, the World Cup ended early, but life still needs to continue. His football career also needs to continue, so the top priority is to actively treat and recover.

"I'm going home and then rehabilitation with the Newcastle team doctor. Now my main job is to recover as soon as possible and play for Newcastle's Premier League next season."

Faced with this result, England coach Erikson was also helpless. Irving's departure was a heavy blow to England and also greatly affected his tactical arrangements. He now regrets that he did not recruit more strikers at the beginning, so that there are no one available at the front line. But facing the reporter, he still did not talk about the team's problems, but just talked about Irving, "Irving's luck is too bad. He has been very unlucky since last Christmas. Now he cannot continue to participate in the World Cup, and I feel very sorry for him. It is a heavy blow to him, the entire England team. But I believe Irving will work hard to recover and return to the field as soon as possible. For Newcastle and England team. He is a real professional player and has a strong will. For Irving, I hope England can succeed in Germany."

During the 1998 World Cup in France, 18-year-old Irving crossed the Argentine team's defense line in front of the world and scored the best goal of the World Cup.

In the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup, Irving scored the first goal in England and Brazil. Unfortunately, the team was finally reversed by Samba Legion, and Irving failed to go further.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the former Wind Chasing Boy broke his metatarsal bone. After recovering quickly, he still failed to escape the clutches of injuries. He left before the team qualifies in the group and is about to be held.

Many people are thinking that in 2010, can I still appear in the World Cup by 30?

Many people are talking about this topic, but former England coach Venables thinks it may be a good thing for England.

"Many people think that losing Irving is like adding insult to injury for England. But in my opinion, this may not be a completely bad thing. If Eriksen can make some changes, bad things may also turn into good things."

"From the performance of the first two games, Irving is obviously not in shape. He has no other use on the court except shooting, not to mention that he has not many opportunities to shoot. There is no such "single-acting" player position in modern football, so it is okay to be without Irving."

"This time Erikson only brought four forwards: Irving, Zhang, Rooney, and 17-year-old substitute Walcott. Without Irving, Rooney was not in good shape, so there were only two choices in front of Erikson: either use Walcott, or give up the 4-4-2 formation that he kept holding on to refuse to let go, and turn it into 4-5-1."

"The biggest advantage of changing formations is that with Hargreeves, the diligent "engineer", Lampard and Gerrard can avoid worries and push forward, especially in Zhang's very good condition, Lampard, Gerrard and Zhang are the "tridents" that England can still rely on. The impact of the three of them is not something that the team can ignore."

Venables' statement has been recognized by many media and experts.

Although England's three-game group stage performance was very good, the overall performance of the team was actually not very good. It was basically all thanks to Zhang Tiehan's personal performance. However, it's okay to play against small teams in this way, and it will be very passive to face strong teams. As long as the England team cannot achieve a suppression situation and be suppressed by the opponent, no matter how strong Zhang Tiehan's personal ability is, it will be useless, because the opponent will have more opportunities, and they are likely to score more goals than England.

If the 451 formation can be used to connect Lampard and Gerald, the team will perform better overall. The two of them, plus Zhang Tiehan, the "trident" formed by the three people is enough to face any opponent.

......

In the media discussion about England's next style of play, the English players took two days off and were still plenty of time to play against Ecuador. England's game was scheduled for the third match day, and the group stage and knockout matches were five days apart, which means that England had more than a week to prepare for the quarterfinals.

In this way, the players will naturally have a holiday.

Although Eriksen reminded many things, such as not letting everyone drink alcohol, sleep late and maintaining their physical condition, everyone is still very leisurely, and many players choose to play in Germany with their girlfriends.

The same is true for Zhang Tiehan.

He found his parents on the first day of vacation. He and Lola had lunch with his parents. Originally, he wanted to stay with his parents in the afternoon, and be a son who should be filial. He visited Zhang Dabao and Jiang Chen. It was a wonderful family life.

But soon he stopped thinking so.

His idea was very good, but Zhang Dabao and Jiang Chen didn't accept it very much. They were sweeter together, sweeter than Zhang Tiehan and Lola. It felt like they had become light bulbs. Zhang Tiehan could only smile bitterly with a dark face.

He has his life, and his parents have their lives.

When he grew up and left his parents, he was just two families. Although it was a bit difficult to understand, this is the fact that European families are like this. When he first came here, he didn't quite understand it. But now seeing his parents sweetly together, the romance... made him a little envious. Then he felt that he didn't have to accompany his parents.

Let's go!

In the end, Zhang Tiehan chose to stay with Lola for an afternoon.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Lola was also with him and rested in the hotel for a night. The next day he was called away by Zhang Meiling and others. Lola went out with Victoria and others. A group of women Zhang Tiehan didn't want to participate. Especially the members of the group, it was really difficult to get along with. These women were not very virtuous. They even fought with German fans the day before yesterday... It was unimaginable that Zhang Tiehan thought that Lola and Victoria would be together. It would probably be a bad person, but he had no choice. He couldn't be with Lola himself and not let her have other friends.

In the end, Zhang Tiehan went out with Zhang Meiling and others.

Zhang Zhenren is no longer here. He has been dealing with some commercial endorsement matters with Camill in England for Zhang Tiehan. Zhang Meiling feels very free. She doesn’t dare to get close to Zhou Yang with her brother in charge. Now that Zhang Zhenren is gone, Zhang Meiling is not afraid of Zhang Tiehan at all.

Because he has the handle of Zhang Tiehan...

For example, his relationship with Lucia, and he also dates Lola, but Zhang Tiehan doesn't care about this at all. He knows very well that Lola knows that there must be other women in his private life. Lola has also mentioned it, but when she thinks that the two are about to get married, maybe Lola hasn't pointed it out, so Zhang Tiehan feels that she loves Lola more, and how many such women can be found in the whole world.

As for Lucia, it is impossible to say that she is completely indifferent, but Zhang Tiehan likes her but is not the kind of love that is deeply engraved. He knows very well the difference between liking and love.

But what about men...how to refuse this?

He couldn't say it and didn't want to do that, so Zhang Tiehan played with Zhang Meiling and others for a day, and even did something with Lucia in the hotel room. They didn't have much time to be alone. Taking advantage of the limited time, the two of them naturally felt inseparable.

At night, a few people returned to the hotel and Zhang Tiehan left again.

He will have to retrain tomorrow, and he will return to the team to the team's hotel in the evening. At this time, Zhang Tiehan felt a little tired. He was almost running around during the two days of vacation, and he had to deal with two women and a sister... In short, he was quite busy.

When he returned to the hotel where the team was, lying silently on the bed and closed his eyes, he felt a sense of leisure. Perhaps... he needed a more ordinary life?

Maybe.

After experiencing so much, he suddenly felt that he was more suitable for ordinary people.

But this is just to think about it when you are tired. After all, people will have different ideas in different environments. If they were alone with Lucia, he would definitely not think so. Zhang Tiehan knew this feeling very well and he could control his thoughts.

In this way, he soon fell into a dream.

I don’t know what time it was at night, but I heard a knock on the door in a daze. Zhang Tiehan opened the door in a daze and saw Lola plunging into her arms. Her face was flushed and her whole body smelled of alcohol. Just as Zhang Tiehan was about to help her into the room, she pushed her away and ran into the bathroom.

After more than ten minutes, she felt better.

While helping Lola take a shower, Zhang Tiehan cursed Victoria and other "shy" who were causing him to ruin Lola, but he could only help serve his future wife. After more than half an hour, after everything was cleaned up, he helped Lola cover the quilt and prepare to go to bed.

It was already past three o'clock.

After resting for a few hours, he was going to participate in training. Zhang Tiehan was really tired. He fell asleep in bed after a while. He didn't know when, but he woke up again. He looked at the dark outside the window, which was about five o'clock, and Lola next to him was muttering something.

"I'm talking in my sleep again." Zhang Tiehan smiled, turned on the desk lamp and looked at Lola's little face, and couldn't help but kiss her forehead.

"Kai...I..."

Zhang Tiehan shook his head and bent down to listen to Lola's mouth.

"Kate...I'm married...I'm very...happy with you...but I...Kate...Kate..." Lola kept muttering a name.

"Kate?" Zhang Tiehan frowned.

It sounds like a woman's name, but it's okay for a man to call Kate. Who is this? Zhang Tiehan couldn't help but look dark. His wife always called other people's names in the middle of the night. Thinking about it, this fact is...unacceptable.

He kept looking at Lola.
