Chapter 1,276, Battle of Revenge

On the training ground today, the players were training extremely vigorously. Each of them was like a little tiger, full of energy on the field.

Scholes said with admiration: "Captain, you are so awesome! I have learned so much in the five years I have followed you. You just said a few words to make this group of boys high-spirited. You are not only An excellent head coach and a master of psychology.”

Jin Taige smiled: "What a psychological master, I just tell others my true inner feelings. I want to win, I want to win the World Cup, and after telling the players, they also want to win the World Cup, so we hit it off right away." Well."

Jin Taige said, taking out a piece of paper from his arms: "Originally, I wanted to use this thing to stimulate everyone, but now it seems that it doesn't make much sense. You can read this to everyone during the break. I I won’t come in person.”

Scholes took the piece of paper and was immediately surprised: "Is this... a winning bonus plan?"

Jin Taige nodded: "This is what Palmer gave me. He set up a generous winning bonus for the team. Now we have received the bonus for the quarterfinals. If we continue to go down, every additional step , then you will get double the bonus! This is a good material reward. But I just saw the players’ desire to win, and I feel that this thing is not that meaningful.”

Scholes looked at the players on the court and said with emotion: "Yes, seeing them in such an excited state makes me want to go into battle and hit the semi-finals!"

The entire England team is actively preparing for the game. At this time, the domestic media in England are exaggerating the atmosphere of the next game.

If the opponent in the quarter-finals was another team, perhaps the English media would not be so excited, but the opponent they faced this time was the enemy of the German team and the English team.

The two teams of England and Germany have a deep history and have met several times in major events.

In the summer of 1990, England met Germany in the semi-finals of the World Cup in Italy. The two teams reached 1-1 in regular time. In the penalty shootout, Germany finally won 4-3 and successfully advanced to the final. In the final, Germany defeated Argentina and won the World Cup.

In the summer of 1996, England met Germany again in the European Cup semi-finals. The final result of that game was still 1-1, and the two sides entered a penalty shootout again. In the penalty shootout, it was the German team that had the last laugh. Coincidentally, the final champion of that cup was the German team. England is full of talents, and their dream of winning the European Cup on home soil was ultimately crushed by the German team.

What many young fans remember deeply is the tragic experience of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In the quarter-finals, the German team defeated England with a score of 4-1, eventually stopping England in the top 16.

The most distressing thing about that game was that Lampard's goal was disallowed by the referee's misjudgment, which ultimately led to England losing a good game and regretfully losing.

In this historical hatred, England once again embarked on the journey to meet the German team in the quarter-finals.

"Daily Telegraph": "To this day, I still remember England's two closest chances of major trophies, the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Cup. But we ended up losing to the German team in penalty shootouts. If we can advance smoothly, then maybe the England team will win these two trophies! It is the German team that shattered our championship dream! They are the fatal enemies of the England team!"

The Guardian: “In the summer of 2010,

When Lampard's lob shot was disallowed by the referee, the hearts of everyone in England were broken. Even if a person with low vision is on the court, he can see that the ball goes into the net! But the referee didn't see it, and the German team didn't acknowledge it. They shamelessly took away our victory! Lampard’s extremely disappointed look at that time seems to still be in front of me now! This time we must take revenge! "

Unlike the atmosphere of revenge in England, there is peace in Germany.

The well-known German magazine "Kicker" expressed the views of the German people: "We are very happy to meet the England team again! They always bring us luck, and I believe it will be the same this time. We can think ahead about our next opponent Spain tactics."

Even Loew had a relaxed expression during the interview: "I have confidence in this quarter-final. We will definitely inherit the tradition and reach the semi-finals! We have broken the tradition of 'the last champion will not be able to qualify in the next group' Damn it, our goal this time is simple, to defend the title! The German team will create miracles again!"

Faced with the overwhelming noise, the England team still did not make any response. Even Kim Tiger, who has always been protective, did not stand up to criticize the German team and the German media this time. Because the time interval between the two games was short this time, the quarter-finals were played on July 4, and the quarter-finals ushered in on July 7. Therefore, the England team ignored the interference from the outside world. They still carried out the last two days of closed training in an orderly manner, cherishing every minute and second.

July 7th has finally arrived.

"Hello everyone in front of the TV! Welcome everyone to watch today's game. I am Maurice, and the person sitting next to me is Raman. I would like to introduce our special guest Professor Wenger! Today the three of us will give a speech Commentary on England's quarter-finals."

"This game is very important for both teams. It is not only related to a place in the semi-finals, but also related to the historical grudges between the two teams. As we all know, these two teams have played against each other many times in history, but England The German team has almost never won. The German team once blocked the England team in the World Cup semi-finals and European Cup semi-finals, and finally succeeded in winning the cup. And the 4-1 victory in 2010 became a pain in the hearts of many England fans. . I believe that in today’s game, the two teams will definitely play a sparkling game.”

"Now the two teams are entering the field, and they are about to warm up before the game. Several players came out of the German team's camp, and they walked towards the England team's coaching bench. What do they want to do? Is it before the game? Are the two teams about to clash? Let’s see what happens next?”

All the England players ran onto the court, and Kim Tiger was chatting with him about tactical arrangements on the sidelines. At this moment, Kim Tiger suddenly heard someone saying hello to him.

"Boss! Hello!"

"Boss! It's us!"
