445: The Italian team is here!
At the end of the confrontation, the substitute lineup defeated the main lineup five-2. Capello was both happy and worried. What was happy was that these newcomers gave him a big surprise, and what was worried was that the main team was in a normal state.
There are also many new players in the national team, but the new players lack tacit understanding and limited ability, so it is too difficult to achieve good results. The World Cup is about to start half a year, and the outcome of each game will have an impact on morale, so he has to use new players carefully.
Losing in the main lineup is not all bad. It can inspire the competitive atmosphere within the team and make the stagnant atmosphere full of vitality.
Of course, if you rely too much on newcomers, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among veterans. The World Cup is under great pressure and the arena changes rapidly. Veterans need to play their role and stabilize the morale of the army.
This degree is the most test of a coach's level.
After the training, Capello severely criticized the main lineup, allowing them to adjust their state in recent conditions, praised the substitute lineup, and told them that as long as they perform well, anyone may get a ticket to South Africa.
My standard for hiring people is state. Whoever is in good condition will let me play.
In this team, no one is natural main force, no one is natural starter, and any position has to go through competition
Capello ended his training summary with these two sentences. When Rooney had a verbal dispute with Peter in the morning, he once said these two sentences. At that time, the main players smiled, but at this moment they had to treat it carefully.
The substitutes showed their state and fighting spirit today, especially the four newcomers of Wolves were particularly outstanding. Capello was strict in the military. Maybe in the warm-up match that was about to be held, they would really put them on the bench and let these four people on the starting list.
If these four people can still show their current state in the game against Italy, then they will definitely be reused by the coach in the future
When it comes to the World Cup stage, the main players have to make up their minds to take it seriously in the training tomorrow and the next two days.
On December 28, in addition to the Premier League, other countries in Europe entered the winter break. Italian coach Lippi immediately summoned the players to gather and trained in Rome for three days.
At 10:00 a.m. on January 3, the Italian team appeared at the London Airport. More than 50 journalists were greeted. As the defending champion, Italy's every move attracted the attention of many national media.
England and Italy are both traditional strong teams, and fans are interested in the collision between them. Lippi and captain Cannavaro were surrounded by reporters.
I believe we will contribute a great game to fans all over the world
Lippi pushed the mirror frame and began to compliment the England team: England is a strong team, they are strong in the middle and backcourt, and now there are several good young players in the frontcourt, and they are the favorites to win the championship.
British journalists couldn't help but look proud on their faces, and were praised by the world champion coach, making them feel relaxed.
Mr. Lippi is telling the truth. Gerald Lampard Trillion and others are in their year of playing. With the emergence of King and Peter, the overall strength of England is really strong.
A British reporter asked with a smile: Does the young players Mr. Lippi refer to Wang and Peter? What do you think of them?
With the unexpected victory of Wolves in the League Cup last season, Italian media also reported a lot of reports on Wolves, which has been held in the Premier League this year. Italian media reported on Wolves more.
Therefore, Lippi has heard of Wang Rui and Peter.
In order to prepare for the warm-up match with England, Lippi's assistant prepared a lot of information for him. So he learned more about Wang Rui and Peter.
When did such a talented player appear in England
After reading Wang Rui's information, Lippi asked such a question.
British football is a typical European powerhouse. They pursue the close integration of body and football, so players like Wang Rui who are elegant in style and delicate in skills are very rare.
If he hadn't seen Wang Rui come out of Manchester United's youth training camp, he even suspected that he was a player with dual nationality in Spain or France. He had been training in Spain or France since he was a child, and then started his career in the UK.
As for Peter, since he is Wang Rui's partner and a rising star in England in the past two years, Lippi also paid special attention.
However, Peter did not attract Lippi's attention. This Wolves forward is a typical English striker, strong and full of impact.
Apart from this, there are not many distinctive features.
Lippi looked at the reporter who asked the question and nodded and said: That's right, I'm talking about both of them.
The King left a deep influence on me, especially in the two games against Chelsea and Manchester United. He is a talented player with strong attack power and a high passing level. He is a very comprehensive young player.
The British reporter who was still secretly happy just now began to despise Lippi at this time, damn it, are you saying that the Premier League giants are too bad?
Have you forgotten how Barcelona lost to Wolves in the European Super Cup?
By the way, you must have forgotten this game on purpose, because in the quarterfinals of the 2008 European Cup, you lost to Spain.
This must be the case
In addition, what is a very comprehensive young player
Wang is worse than Messi, but he doesn’t have that platform. Look at the European Super Cup, Wang’s performance is much better than Messi.
Thinking of this, British media reporters' favorability for Lippi was gone.
The Italian coach didn't know what the British reporter thought, and continued: Wang is very good. If he plays, it may cause us some trouble.
A British journalist said dissatisfiedly: If he comes on stage, he will definitely surprise you
Lippi looked at the talking reporter in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The Italian reporter looked at the awkward Lippi and shook his head in his heart: Mr. Lippi, you don’t know much about English football. You may not understand the influence of King in England at all.
On the other side, Italian captain Cannavaro is being interviewed by reporters. The former Juventus core player left Real Madrid after the phone gate incident, but due to his decline in form, he often made low-level mistakes on the court. He was not happy with his life at Real Madrid.
So this season, he returned to Juventus, but his condition was still not very good. However, he still won the attention of Lippi and continued to serve as the Italian captain.
Do you think of the king? I know him. Ronaldo once mentioned him, saying that he is a rare talented player in England. The Wolves' ability to win the Premier League half-time championship has a lot to do with his outstanding performance.
Players are different from coaches, they know more about players, Cannavaro continued: I know Wang’s appeal in England, he is a player worthy of attention, and we will take him seriously.
A Spanish reporter asked: You are so sure he will play in the game against you
Cannavaro blinked and replied in surprise: I don’t know why you said that. Isn’t it a waste of talent to put a player like him on the bench?
This made the hearts of British journalists, and they laughed happily, which made the Spanish journalist look embarrassed.
Cannavaro looked at the Spanish reporter and snorted coldly in his heart, Damn, I was criticized by you very much when I was in Real Madrid. Today I want to get some interest back
In the European Super Cup, the performance of the king was witnessed by the world. Shouldn't such a player be given the opportunity to play?
