Chapter 1301: Your Responsibility

The locker room was very quiet, everyone was listening to Beckham speak.

Beckham looked at Irving next to him: "Michael, who is the runner-up in the 2014 World Cup?"

"It's Argentina." Irving replied.

Beckham asked again: "What about the runner-up in the 2010 World Cup?"

"Well, it's the Dutch team."

"What about the runner-up in the 2006 World Cup?"

"Is it France? Or it's Germany. I don't remember."

Beckham nodded: "Yeah, let alone you, even I can't remember it. Boys, if you lose today, you won't be remembered by anyone in a few years. Every session There is only one winner in the World Cup, and that is the team that wins the Hercules Cup! You still have 45 minutes, grit your teeth and carry it on! You have the ability! You deserve to win the championship!"

Beckham looked at the players, his eyes were very sharp, and the hearts of every player present were trembling.

Lampard coughed, took over the words, and continued: "Boys, I saw your game against Germany. That wonderful free kick was really wonderful. What moved me the most was Lingard. A long shot. That long shot caused a shadow that I had suppressed for a long time. Finally, it was illuminated by the sun and the shadow faded away."

"You are great, really great! You can beat the 2014 World Cup champion Germany and the 2010 World Cup champion Spain. Why can't you beat the 1998 World Cup champion France?! There are still 45 minutes left in the game. You still have time to fight! I believe in you!"

Hearing Lampard say the word "45 minutes", Gerrard suddenly trembled and spoke.

"When I heard Frank talking about 45 minutes left, I suddenly remembered a game. You all know that game well, that night in Istanbul in the summer of 2005. Many years later, that night was called the 'Miracle of Istanbul', and it remains to this day. , I can recall everything about that night.”

"It was the Champions League final of the 2005 season. Liverpool played AC Milan. I was the captain of Liverpool at the time. In the first half, we were beaten hard by AC Milan. They led by three goals and returned to the locker room happily. In the locker room , they celebrated their victory in advance, and the sound of popping champagne reached our dressing room! I still remember that Riise and Carragher wanted to rush over and fight! Of course, they were stopped by the coaching staff in the end. We sat in the dressing room and started I kept the door open and listened to the celebrations of the Milanese for 15 minutes."

"In the second half, the blood of each of us was burning! We rushed onto the court and dueled with the proud Milanese! I scored the first goal first, and then Smicer and Alonso scored two goals in a row. We finally We equalized the game. In overtime, Smicer suffered calf cramps and we were down to ten men. But we resisted and sent the game into a penalty shootout."

"When goalkeeper Dudek saved Shevchenko's penalty kick, each of us went crazy! Yes, really crazy! We knew at that time that we had created a miracle in football history!"

"Thirteen years have passed since that game, and I still remember it fresh to this day. When I heard Frank talking about the 45-minute second half, I suddenly thought that the situation now is exactly the same as that miraculous game! We were also in In the final, we were also three goals behind, but we also have a group of players who refused to admit defeat!"

"Why can't you create the miracle that Liverpool did back then again? Don't you have so many talented players?

Not as good as Liverpool back then? You all come from the Premier League giants, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal...have you lost confidence? "

"Henderson, you are the current captain of Liverpool, and you are also the vice-captain of this national team. Tell me loudly whether you are confident to equalize the score!"

Henderson stood up excitedly: "Captain! I'm confident! We will definitely win!"

Gerrard nodded and looked at Carrick and Maguire: "I just counted, even excluding Rooney and Stones who have transferred and left, you still have 6 players playing for Manchester United. Could it be that you can’t do things that Liverpudlians can do? Do you think you are inferior to Liverpudlians?”

Rashford was anxious. He was a genius who came out of Manchester United's youth training camp. He stood up immediately: "Who said we are not as good as Liverpool?! After the second half started, we went on the field to fuck the Liverpool people! Oh no. , to fuck the French!"

The locker room burst into laughter!

Gerrard scratched his head: "Rashford, you ruined my passionate atmosphere..."

Carrick also stood up slowly: "Steven, you were once the captain of Liverpool, and I was also the captain of Manchester United. You once created miracles on behalf of Liverpool, and I also tell you on behalf of the Manchester United players in the England team that we will definitely be able to Lead England to create a miracle! Equalize the score! Defeat France!"

Gerald nodded and said with relief: "You are right, this is what you must do, this is your responsibility!"

At this time, Kane and Cahill also stood up: "We are the captain of the England team, leading the team to equalize the score. This is also the responsibility of our captain! We have no shirking responsibility!"

At this time, Owen, who had been silent until now, spoke. Irving is a person who is not good at talking. He rarely speaks in public, especially in the locker room. But today was different. He was entrusted by Jin Tiger and had to say something to the players.

Owen glanced around the crowd and slowly named a few names: "Kane, Sterling, Vardy, Rashford, Rooney, the five of you are the forwards of the team. Although the equalizer is the ball It’s everyone’s business on the team, but don’t forget that you are forwards, and the forward’s responsibility is to score goals! In the first half, England fell behind by three goals. This is not the responsibility of the defenders, but the responsibility of your forwards!”

"When the team is besieged by opponents, what should the forward do and how to give the defensive players the greatest help? That is to attack, that is to score! You have seen Argentina's games, you have seen Portugal's games, when Messi and When Ronaldo is in the opponent's half, the opponent must leave at least two people to defend them! If you can do this, then our defensive pressure will be reduced a lot!"

"You are the strongest striker of the England team, and you are the hope of England fans! What are the fans looking forward to? They expect you to regain your strength in the second half, equalize the score with successive goals, and defeat the French team!"

"English people have been looking forward to this World Cup championship for too long. You can't let them down! Winning this game is the responsibility of all of you!"
