Chapter 1,284: You Are Shaking the Morale of the Army!

It was dark in a hotel conference room. Highlights of England's victory over Germany were playing on the projection screen. The video was silent and no one in the room spoke.

After more than ten minutes, the game was over. Someone turned on the lights, opened the curtains, and the room became bright again.

The sunshine at four o'clock in the afternoon was still dazzling, making the people in the room unable to open their eyes.

The sun shines on the Spanish flag on the wall, giving off a pale golden glow.

The person sitting farthest away coughed and looked at everyone present.

This man is the Spanish team coach, Lopetegui.

The players were sitting on both sides of him. Lopetegui looked at every familiar face and said slowly: "After watching the game video, you all can talk about your feelings. Tell us what you think of the England team. Speak freely. , don’t have any scruples.”

Seeing that no one spoke, captain Ramos spoke first.

"After watching the last few games, I found that the England team is stronger than expected. Especially their fast break, which is extremely efficient. The Premier League has really risen strongly in recent years, and the players from the England team are all playing for Premier League teams. They Their strength cannot be underestimated. It will be difficult to play in the next semi-final."

Pique also expressed his approval: "The forwards of the England team are very fast and extremely difficult to defend. In recent games, they often use Kane as a cover and then create opportunities for Sterling and Vardy. So next We need to pay more attention to England's forwards every game. Kane needs to focus on marking, and Sterling and others can't let down their guard!"

Diego Costa said: "The combination of Maguire and Cahill is very strong. Their strengths are balanced and they have almost no obvious weaknesses. When we meet them in the next game, we can only look for their mistakes and strive for them." Take your chances and score goals.”

Busquets praised the England team's midfielders: "A few of the England team's midfielders are actually not very strong, but their overall cooperation is good, and they have played a long game in this cup. Standard. For example, Lingard and Alli, they are just substitute players at Manchester United."

The players were talking, and soon the topic turned to Kim Tiger.

Lopetegui feels very unhappy when he talks about Kim Tiger!

Before the start of the World Cup, Kim Tiger and Lopetegui had a heated exchange of words over the issue of player replacement. Since defeating Real Madrid in the Champions League final, Lopetegui, a die-hard fan of Real Madrid, has been very unhappy with Kim Tiger.

All the way to the semi-finals, Lopetegui did not expect that he would play against Kim Tiger.

How can the small England team be worthy of playing against Spain? We are a team that wants to compete for the championship!

Lopetegui looked at De Gea: "David, you are a Manchester United player. What do you think of the England team coached by Kim Tiger? Do you think he will cause us trouble?"

De Gea thought for a moment, and when he saw Lopetegui's face not looking good, he immediately understood the coach's psychological activities. De Gea said wisely: "Although Kim Tiger is very successful at Manchester United, he is not very strong in the national team competitions now, and the England team has only reached this point by luck. If they are wise, , we should consider the third and fourth place finals in advance now.”

Lopetegui is in a good mood!

"David, I think what you said makes sense. Kim Tiger is indeed just a club coach. Apart from the German team, they have never encountered a strong team before.

Even if they beat the German team, they were only given a chance because the German team's condition declined seriously. We are absolutely guaranteed to win the next game! "

But just after Lopetegui finished speaking, someone next to him spoke: "Coach, I think what you said is a little unreasonable. We seem to be a little too proud."

Lopetegui frowned, looked at the speaker and snorted: "Alonso, what do you mean, are you more optimistic about the England team?"

Alonso shook his head: "Coach, that's not what I meant. I have played at Manchester United for five years and know Coach Kim Tiger very well. His desire for victory is crazy, and his command of the game is also first-class. For the next step In the competition, they are not under much pressure. After all, their goal of the top eight has been achieved, and by entering the semi-finals, they have received enough praise. Even if they lose, it does not matter much. But I think this is The most terrifying thing! If the young people of the England team are free from pressure and let go completely, they will show extremely terrifying fighting power! I think we should play it safe in the next game and deal with it seriously. Otherwise, it is very likely that The ship capsized on the England team..."

Before Alonso finished speaking, Lopetegui slapped the table: "Have you said enough? Haha, you are indeed a player of Manchester United, and you are indeed a player of Kim Tigers! Why, do you think the England team is better than the Spanish team? Is Kim Tiger better than Lopetegui?"

"Coach, that's not what I meant..." Alonso wanted to explain, but Lopetegui didn't give him a chance to explain.

"Then what do you mean! I think you regard Kim Tiger as a god and all of us as fools!" Lopetegui shouted, "Extremely terrifying fighting power? Why do I not believe it so much! To be on the safe side? I will do it next We must attack from all fronts in every game! The Spanish team will not capsize, and it is impossible to capsize! Alonso, you praise the England team so much, do you want to shake the morale of the Spanish team!"

Alonso was also in a bad mood. He opened his mouth, but Asensio next to him pulled him and Alonso said nothing.

Lopetegui is still very angry!

Alonso, I have started you since the first game and I think so highly of you, but you still think Kim Tiger is better than me? I was really blind before I used you!

Lopetegui glanced at Alba in the back row: "Alba, you are the starting left back in this game against England. I hope you live up to expectations and beat the England team hard! Alonso has been feeling unwell recently. Need a break on the bench.”

Hearing this, Alonso was stunned.

He never expected that he would be deprived of his main position just for casually expressing his personal opinions!

In an instant, Alonso smiled: "Coach, you are right. I am indeed unwell and not suitable for the starting position. Thank you for taking care of me."

"Hmph!" Lopetegui ignored Alonso at all.

Alonso looked out the window as the sun set, and the last ray of sunlight left the conference room and disappeared toward the end of the earth.

The future of the Spanish team may be like the sunset, gradually going downhill...
