Chapter 451 Knockout(1/2)

The story begins with Lola and Kate going to middle school together.

Both girls were very beautiful and had a close relationship, but soon this intimacy changed a little. Kate fell in love with Lola. Lola was still a little girl at that time and didn't know anything. She felt that she was also very close to Kate, and then the two fell in love... No, it should be said that they were together in a very special relationship.

This relationship lasted for two years.

Later, Kate entered the entertainment industry and became a female star. He became famous for the female pig's feet in "Pirates of the Caribbean". The two had less contact, but they were still in contact often. Before and after Lola and Zhang Tiehan met, the two still had close contact, but they were afraid that the reporter would know that the relationship was very secretive. Kate even found a boyfriend to serve as the storefront for this, so that even if the two met and were very close, they would not guess randomly when they were photographed by the reporters.

Although homosexuality is not unacceptable in Europe, it is somewhat discriminated against and will also affect Kate's career.

Who could have thought of such a thing?

But Lola still struggled to persevere. After all, the two met not many times. Later, she met Zhang Tiehan, so she began to try to date Zhang Tiehan. She tried to accept that until now, she still had contact with Kate in the middle, but she no longer felt that way.

This is a transformation.

She was not a pure homosexual, but she knew that Kate was probably the one. She felt guilty about Kate, so she always didn't want to contact the media with guilt. But when she and Zhang Tiehan were closer, Zhang Tiehan's fame became increasingly popular, which was impossible to hide, especially when Zhang Tiehan came to England to play football.

Kate got it.

Lola didn't know how to face Kate, but she kept hiding it from Zhang Tiehan, and she felt even more guilty. So she was very tolerant of many things about Zhang Tiehan until the two were about to get married.

This is Lola's heart disease.

Zhang Tiehan listened to Lola's story, but he didn't know what he was feeling. He was in a complicated mood. He heard that his wife was once a homosexual, which was really... a bit strange. In any case, he couldn't say whether he was in a good mood or not. He now understood why when she was in bed with Lola, she was still a virgin, which was not easy, especially in Europe.

"It's okay." Zhang Tiehan kept saying.

He thought about it and felt strange about this matter, and was not disgusted with it. Thinking about saving a girl-sexuality, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment as a man. As a result, when Lola finished speaking, he couldn't help but fight her immediately.

Lola was crazy this time.

Zhang Tiehan was also very crazy. When everything was over, Zhang Tiehan put on his clothes and kissed the beauties on the bed deeply, "I don't care, let's get married after the World Cup." He said so.

Lola smiled and nodded. Tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes at some point.

......

When Zhang Tiehan returned to the court for training, he felt very complicated.

In fact, he didn't care what Lola said at all, but instead found it very strange, and was thinking about how the two women were doing it. This is a question worth exploring. I guess most men in the world will be very interested, but when one of them is the partner they want to get married, the mood is really a bit complicated.

But he was sure that he loved Lola. And those were the same in the past. Lola was very nice to him, he was also very nice to Lola. Now he is a football star, but when the two met, he was not very famous, he was just a young player at Wigan Athletics. At that time, he was nothing and had no outstanding performance in the Championship.

The two met very early, and there was a pure relationship between them.

It is hard for anyone to explain the thing about love, but if you want to marry a woman, the only thing Zhang Tiehan can think of is Lola. Other women don’t need to think too much about it. Nowadays, many teammates’ girlfriends are models and actresses, but if they are not stars, can they still have such a girlfriend?

I'm afraid it's impossible.

But Lola was not with him for his fame. They liked each other purely without any other things. Now he would not give up getting married just because Lola had done anything in the past. He would never find such a good woman again.

He believes.

However, Zhang Tiehan was in a chaotic state during this day of training, and his teammates could see that he seemed to have something to worry about. Fortunately, this was just back to training. The training arranged by Erikson was basically just to restore the players. Many players were weak during the two-day vacation. It was probably all because of bed and alcoholism, and fatigue. That was a very magical reason. I would be tired after holidays, and this kind of thing would only happen to Beckham. This "heartthrob" had two days off. Except for half a day with his wife, the other time was left to the media and advertisers, which was beyond admiration.

His vacation is more tiring than training.

Especially during the World Cup stage, Beckham's schedule was slowly arranged and there was no extra time to do anything else. In this regard, Zhang Tiehan is much happier. He arranged his holidays himself. Zhang Zhenren and Camille will try to minimize useless advertisements and interviews. They know Zhang Tiehan and know that he doesn't like these.

But it's not without it.

For example, the shooting required by some large-scale sponsorship contracts still needs to be carried out, but the schedule is not arranged in the World Cup, and Zhang Tiehan's life is quite easy.

After the training that day, Zhang Tiehan went back to the hotel directly and did not go to dinner with his teammates. He believed that Lola would wait for him to come back.

Sure enough, Lola has been in the hotel room and has not gone to the bar with the other people in the group. After Zhang Tiehan came back, the two had another battle. The two were almost inseparable, and their relationship seemed better than before, and they were reluctant to part ways.

They all feel this way with each other.

Perhaps this is because the relationship between the two has not experienced any twists and turns. After this, Zhang Tiehan cherishes Lola very much. He even turned down his date with Lucia and only stays with Lola.

But the next day, Lola left.

England head coach Eriksen will not allow the player's wife to live with the player in a hotel. Sex-life will affect the player's condition, and this is not allowed on days approaching the game.

The knockout round is approaching.

The opponent of England is Ecuador, and both teams began to prepare for this. In this way, Lola had to return to the wife's group, and was teased by several women represented by Victoria. Lola could only respond shyly, and Zhang Tiehan was also mocked by a group of women.

"So strong." Kulan said, touching Zhang Tiehan's chest muscles.

Victoria said, "How long is it tonight? It's so energetic to see our little Lola."

"It's not just evening!"

"When will I try it too? You are the number one tough guy in England..." Vanessa laughed and glared at Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan was very embarrassed.

Facing these women-sexy-wolf, he could only escape in panic, and finally said, "Look, he is so pure!"

How smart are Zhang Tiehan's ears? He knew that the voice came from Rooney's girlfriend Colin. He was teased by a woman younger than him. Zhang Tiehan really wanted to turn around and shout, "Come and try whether I am pure or not!" But thinking about it, he must have been teased by a group of women again, and in the end he still didn't dare to do that.

Only after returning to the team did Zhang Tiehan feel at ease.

He found that what the English media said was right. The English Lady Group was really a group of crazy women. Although Lola was one of them, he still had to say that. A beauty is cute, two beauties are lively. Three beauties are a landscape, and a group of beauties... equals a group of female lunatics.

Although it is not good to say so, it is the truth.

......

The game with Ecuador is approaching.

Just like media analysis, when Irving left injured, Eriksen had no choice but to put Zhang Tiehan in the center position.

Center is the position that Zhang Tiehan often plays.

At Liverpool, he plays as a center. However, occasionally because of the strength of his opponent, Zhang Tiehan needs to play more, Benitez will also let him retreat in the position, so that as the core of the frontcourt, he can perform better.

Erikson thought so too.

Or it should be said that Zhang Tiehan's performance in various positions is on the surface. If he plays as a center, he is purely a goal-scoring player. If he retreats from his position, he can also drive the entire team's offense and have more opportunities. He is not afraid of the opponent's strict blockade and restrictions on him. After retreating, his position makes it difficult for the opponent to defend.

But now Eriksen still has to put Zhang Tiehan on the premise.

Because of the formation.

In terms of the English team's playing style and tactics, there must be a midfielder in front. Two players who can act as centers are either Zhang Tiehan or Rooney. In comparison, Zhang Tiehan is obviously more suitable. This is not strength and goals, but Rooney is not good at playing in the front position. He is very strong, but his height is not very good. He does not perform well in the center. The whole world knows that Rooney is better at playing behind the position.

In other words, Zhang Tiehan is almost the only choice for the center.

As for not having a center forward... Erikson does not have such courage yet, and he cannot temporarily change the English team's tactics. That is simply impossible. He cannot bear the responsibility of losing like that.

In the end, Zhang Tiehan had to accept it.

Before the knockout round, England was studying their opponents, Ecuador, which was definitely an unfamiliar team for England.

Ecuador football began around 1912. They had never achieved good results in international competitions. In the 1938 Copa America, they lost to Peru with a huge gap of 1:9.

Ecuadorian clubs have not performed well in international competitions either.

But after entering the 21st century, Ecuador's football level has made significant progress. In 2002, the Ecuador national team entered the World Cup finals for the first time in history. In the Korea-Japan World Cup, Ecuador lost 0:2 to Italy and 1:2 to Mexico, but defeated Croatia 1:0 in the last game and won the first victory in the World Cup.

It's their second World Cup.

The two consecutive World Cups have proved Ecuador's success. Now they can qualify in the group again, which is a great honor. Many people have analyzed the reasons why Ecuador can succeed and enter the World Cup finals. Perhaps it is related to their home court in the World Cup South American qualifiers. The 2,850-meter plateau at home is an important magic weapon for Ecuador, but it is not the only magic weapon.

Ecuador has never made a line before the 2002 World Cup. The plateau at an altitude of 3,600 meters cannot bring Bolivia the opportunity to qualify after the 1994 World Cup. These are the best proofs.

And Ecuador football itself has made considerable progress, which is undoubtedly a matter of certainty.

One side is the soil and the other side is the right place to support the other side. Football is somewhat suitable for the sport. Ecuador is a country with crazy football. Although their historical performance is not good, it is undeniable that Ecuador's passion for football is one of the best in South America, which is rich in stars. Now is the season for their harvest. The team already has many outstanding stars. It is said that they still have the young Suarez who did not follow the team to the World Cup. That was Ecuador's first genius star, but he was too young. Before the World Cup started, coach Suarez finally put this genius of the same form as him in the country.

The Ecuadorians think that their country cannot produce good coaches, and this factor has long restricted its football development.

In South America, public opinion holds the same view not only Ecuador, but also two or three other countries like South America, although this view is quite extreme. Therefore, today's Ecuadorians attribute the right to qualify for the two World Cups to the Colombian coach.

Three Colombian coaches coach Ecuador in succession. They did help the country's football create miracles.

In 1996, former Colombian coach Maturana coached Ecuador for a year and laid some foundation, but he did not achieve much during his term. In 1999, another former Colombian coach came to Ecuador, and he was Gomez, who was later regarded as the national hero of Ecuador. In 2002, he entered the World Cup finals for the first time and was Gomez's masterpiece.

However, Gomez also became a contradictory figure.

The team's results in the 2004 Copa America were a mess, as if proving that Ecuador was nothing after falling down the plateau. So Gomez resigned voluntarily, although the Ecuadorian Football Association had tried to keep him. After Gomez resigned, his assistant, Suarez, who was also a Colombian, took over the coaching point and led the team to the finals again.

Colombian football has fallen from its peak for ten years, but the country's coach has achieved success in Ecuador. This certainly does not prove that Ecuadorians are more suitable for playing football, because there are many social factors in the decline of Colombian football, but such as the harsh environment, etc. The fact that Ecuadorians are suitable for playing football is proven.

In terms of national ancestry, Ecuadorians are somewhat similar to Bolivia and Peru, while Indian ancestry is more heavy. Practice seems to prove that people of color are very suitable for playing football except for yellow people, and mixed races have particularly strong ability to master this skill. Brazil, Colombia and Ecuadorians have proved this one after another.

Ecuador defeated Brazil and Argentina in this World Cup qualifier, and his technical and tactical level was very extraordinary.

This is Ecuador.

A team that seemed to have lost its name but had a somewhat terrifying performance, defeated Brazil and Argentina in the qualifiers, defeated Poland and Costa Rica in the group stage, and now they meet England.

The media is still looking forward to England.

Although Irving was injured and could not participate in the next game, Irving did not perform well in the group stage. The media did not expect much from him. What they were more looking forward to is Zhang Tiehan's continued performance, Rooney's outbreak, and Beckham could bring surprises.

These three are Eriksen's magic weapon to win.

There is no doubt.

Zhang Tiehan's performance in the group stage was crazy. His efficiency of three games and six goals made all the media who doubted whether he would be weak in the World Cup shut up. He is the number one scorer of England and even the number one scorer of the World Cup. No one can deny this. He is naturally the magic weapon for England.
