Chapter 233 The British-German War (1) [7300 words]
In the next half day, other big-name players selected for the national team came to the Brown Hotel to report one after another. Many of them were regular visitors to the national team, so they didn't seem very excited. David Beckham, the captain hand-picked by Li Tongfan, didn't arrive until after three o'clock in the afternoon because of the flight!
To be honest, the moment Beckham heard that Li Tongfan became the head coach of the Three Lions, he had the feeling of "turning the clouds to see the sun, turn over and sing".
During McLaren's rule of the Three Lions, although he had a second career in Real Madrid, he was reduced to a marginal figure in the national team due to some ridiculous historical reasons. It is a well-known secret in England that McLaren doesn't like to see Eriksson's "favorite" David Beckham!
This makes Beckham's hard work unavoidably a little frustrating... Coupled with the poor performance of the England national team in the 08 European Cup qualifiers, the prospect of promotion is worrying, Beckham once thought that his national team career would come to an end...
But now, the "mentor" lunatic Li has become the helm of the Three Lions, and on the first day of the inauguration press conference, he declared that he will become the captain of the Li's national team again.Beckham, who has long admired Lao Li to the bone, seems to have seen the scene of himself winning the European Cup on behalf of the England national team...
It is absolutely no exaggeration to describe Beckham's mood with the poem "The mountains are heavy and the rivers are full of doubts and no way out, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and there is another village"!
The lobby of the Brown Hotel!
"Hey, David, you came so late, I thought you were going to refuse my call..." Mensao Nan stood in the hotel lobby, looking at the heartthrob with big bags and small bags, and laughed like a thief: "How is your condition? I didn't ask you to come as a substitute!"
"Boss..." Beckham is still used to calling Li Tongfan like this, but when Lao Li mentioned the status problem, Beckham's charming eyebrows frowned: "Recently... something is not good!"
"No problem, hehe, as long as I'm here, I will come to you crying and shouting!" Li Tongfan patted Beckham on the shoulder lightly!
Beckham's recent Real Madrid performance is not as good as last season, which Lao Li has long known through the media.After I left, Beckham and Alien Fatty were "beaten back to their original forms", so naturally they were not as dazzling as last season!But back to the Three Lions' own one-acre and three-point land, Li Tongfan is absolutely confident that Beckham can re-display the style of "the world's number one midfielder"!
After all the players arrived, taking advantage of the cooler evening sun, the team came to Wembley Stadium for the first run-in training!
# # #
Wembley Stadium!
This is a simple group confrontation training. The players are divided into two teams to attack and defend. Li Tongfan stands on the sidelines of the court, with his arms folded on his chest, and carefully observes each player. The specific training guide is the old crazy Venables!
"...cooperate more with the people around you, pass the ball faster!!"
"Succinct! Be concise, simple and direct, understand?"
"Very well, Frank, you did a great job! Yes, that's it!"
"Oh, shit!!! Wayne, your shot is so fucking shit, if I were Ferguson, you would be out of luck..."
Venables stood on the sidelines and yelled loudly. Once he stepped on the football field, the old maniac would become passionate and swearing... As the most authoritative senior figure in English football, no matter how big the Three Lions players are, they would respect the old maniac. Therefore, Venables’ swear words were similar to the encouragement of his stern elders in Rooney’s ears.
Li Tongfan carefully observes the attitude of each player in the game. For Lao Li who holds FM2008, the level of ability is not a problem. As long as a player has a serious enough attitude towards the game, Li Tongfan is willing to put him in the starting list!
Judging from the current observation, England's big-name players are performing very well, especially Anton-Ferdinand, Manzienni, Sturridge, etc. are a few newcomers, who are like crazy little wolf cubs trying their best to win the appreciation of the coach. Driven by the newcomers, the veteran players can't help but work hard!
The media and fans have told them thousands of times about what kind of character Madman Li is. From the fact that he took off John Terry's captain's armband without hesitation as soon as he took office, he knew that he was not a vegetarian, and he was not willing to become that "monkey" who was killed...

8 Month 22 Day!
After two consecutive days of rare sunny days, gray clouds began to appear over London again, but this did not stop England fans, known as the most fanatical, singing, shouting, stealing the spotlight and fighting, from going to Wembley to cheer for the Three Lions!
Although the Anglo-German battle started at 19:00 in the afternoon, fans around Wembley Stadium have been waiting since ten o'clock in the morning!
At around [-] o'clock in the morning, the visiting German team had their final training here. When the bus carrying German players arrived near the player tunnel, thousands of shirtless English men rushed around the bus, slapped the bus compartment hard, raised their white middle fingers with grim expressions, and sent international "family greetings" beginning with F or S to the German players in the bus...
If it weren't for the hard work of the security guards at the stadium, it is estimated that the German players would have been beaten into pigs' heads by the hunks of England before they got out of the car and entered the player tunnel!
There is no exaggeration in such a scene!
No matter when and where, in any battle between England and Germany in history, fans will treat the opposing player as an enemy. If they can give the enemy a hard time, no fan will mind doing so!
This is not over, even when the German team entered Wembley Stadium for training, the fanatical England fans were very "organized and disciplined" and sent all kinds of insulting words to the opponent through the air vibration to the stadium!
At this moment, football brings the war back!
# # #
When the German team took the bus to Wembley Stadium again in the afternoon, three road patrol cars in front cleared the way, escorted by dozens of patrol motorcycles on both sides, just like the British royal family going on tour...
Due to the provocative situation of the fans in the morning, the safety of the German team has been protected by the City of London Police!
18:00 in the afternoon!
Wembley Stadium has officially entered the England track.Since it was only a friendly match, there were only about 8 German fans in the Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate more than 2000 people. They were compressed in a corner of the southwest stand, like a small oasis in the desert, silently releasing the unyielding Germans!
"...This is Madman Lee's first game since he took office. England fans desperately need a hearty victory to wash away the shame of the McLaren era, but the situation is not very good. The German team's record in the past six months seems to be more sophisticated. They performed well in the European Cup qualifiers. They ranked first in the group with 7 wins and 7 matches..." The famous "British Traitor", who became the most unpopular football commentator in the British Isles because he cheered for Madman Lee and Real Madrid in the just-concluded Champions Cup final BBC TV commentator Sester was invited to explain the game!
Speaking of the tortuous experience of Sester in the past few months, because of what happened in the Champions League final, Sester received a letter of dismissal from BBV TV before he returned to China from Athens, Greece, because his obviously biased commentary in the final angered Arsenal fans, and the Gunners fans held a day and night demonstration in front of the BBC radio building!
And because of Sester's "unrepentant" and "shameless behavior" in the interview with reporters, he still insisted on shouting for the madman Li, which made him elected "England's most unpopular football commentator" in the "Sun" questionnaire...
Because of fans' resistance, Sester couldn't find a football commentary job in more than 20 large and small TV stations in London...
However, fate made a small joke with Sester, just like Madman Li performed a miracle on the court, his own destiny had a miraculous reversal in just half a month!
When Crazy Lee became the head coach of the England national team, the public opinion in the British Isles suddenly turned 180 degrees. All the media praised the greatness of Crazy Lee. Even Arsenal fans were willing to stand in front of the camera and shout "Crazy Lee's song" regardless of past suspicions. Sester also changed from "public enemy" to "national hero" overnight.
When BBC TV once again handed the letter of appointment to Sester, the hot-tempered England uncle tore it to shreds without hesitation, and then threw the scraps of paper on the fat and smiling face of the TV director, and joined the BBC's competitor, England National TV, without turning back!
Therefore, Sester, who was sitting in Wembley Stadium to explain the national team game today, felt a sense of elation, and his new commentary partner is very famous-former Three Lions first center Lineker!
"What do you think of this game..." Sester turned his head and asked his partner: "Gary, as the soul of the former national team, can you comment on the two teams?"
Lineker smiled and shook his head: "The current situation of the England team is not very good. The decline of the McLaren era has continued until now, while the German team has maintained an amazing state in the last few international competitions. If there is no accident, the chances of the Germans will be better..." Lineker paused and quickly added: "Of course, as an Englishman, I hope to be able to qualify unexpectedly. The biggest variable is Madman Lee. To make the fans leave Wembley laughing..."

England dressing room!
"Listen to the cheers outside, the fans need a victory, and it must be a big victory..." The fans cheered and felt the whole locker room trembling. Li Tongfan looked at the stars with different expressions, with a serious expression: "Not only the fans... you, but also me, everyone needs a hearty victory to defend their position... You know what this game means, don't let me down, otherwise... I will let you down even more!"
This is blatant intimidation!
But saying it from Crazy Li's mouth is indeed enough weight!
As the chief descendant of Madman Lee, David Beckham was the first to respond to the boss's call: "Don't worry, boss, each of us has a heart of honor to pursue the championship, for the glory of England!!!"
"For the glory of England!!!" Manzienni and Sturridge raised their arms and shouted in unison!
Fatty Wayne Rooney stood up, made a serious gesture of swearing with his fist, and said solemnly: "Looking at today's situation, I think it is necessary for me to perform a hat-trick in the game..."
"Then I will reluctantly give you three assists!" Middlesbrough winger Downing's expression became even more stinky!After a few days of contact, Li Tongfan discovered that this fellow, like Joe Hart, was also an egomaniac!
But when the two hammers made trouble, the atmosphere suddenly became active!
Lao Li nodded in satisfaction, then walked quickly to the front of the tactical board, picked up the chalk and began to write the starting list!
Compared with the German team that announced the starting players one day in advance, the starting list of the Three Lions has not been released. Speaking of which, this is also the habit of Crazy Lee. Generally speaking, when watching a Crazy Lee game, you can only know the team's starting lineup after the referee blows the opening whistle!
All the hammers are firmly on the tactical board, especially Gareth Barry, Philips Neville, Anton Ferdinand and several former national team fringe internationals and newly selected young players. This will be the moment to decide their fate!
Germany locker room!
Loew looked at his disciples calmly, and emphasized the team's tactics again: "Crazy Lee is an offensive maniac. His offensive tactics seem simple, but the effect is surprisingly good. Therefore, we need to carry out defensive counterattacks in this game, especially the England side. We must focus on it..."
Speaking of which, Loew looked at the two full-backs Lahm and Schultz, and drew a line across the field on the tactical board: "Crazy Lee has recruited many fast wide players in this national team. The task of Philips and Schultz is to limit the England team's wide cross tactics. You can't move beyond this line in the first half..."
"The opponent's ability to penetrate the center is not strong. This will be our opportunity. My requirements are: short pass on the ground, the ball should be played quickly, and more shots behind the opponent's central defender..."

18: 50!
When the referee Steven Taylor led the players from both sides to enter the lawn from the player tunnel, the first wave of tsunami erupted at Wembley Stadium, raging wildly like a hurricane from the far Atlantic Ocean, and even the whole of London began to tremble because of the enthusiasm brought by football!
Crack-crack-crack-crack~~~~~
More than 7 England fans began to stand up and cheer for the home team, while the efforts of less than 2 German fans were like a small barge in a stormy sea, which was quickly overturned and disappeared without a trace...
"The game is about to start. Players from both sides have already entered the field. The national anthem of the visiting team Germany is the first to sound in the Wembley Stadium..." Although it has been deserted for more than a month, the celebrity Sester quickly entered the state: "The German team formed a typical [-] formation, with Miroslav Klose on the front line and Luka Podolski, Prince of Polti, standing behind them. Hitzelsberg, the four defenders are Philipp Lahm, Metzelder, Merdesacker and Schulz, and goalkeeper Tim Hildebrand...Loew has lined up the main lineup. It seems that the Germans also paid enough attention to this game..."
After Sester introduced the plastic surgery of the German team, Lineker tacitly introduced Lee's England lineup for the first time:
"Madman Lee's formation was beyond everyone's expectations. He did not use the 4-1-2-1-2 wing tactics that Real Madrid has already mastered, but changed to a 4-1-3-1-1 single striker tactic. Rooney served as the single arrow. Ashley Cole, John Terry, Anton Ferdinand and Philips Neville, the goalkeeper is... oh, God, it's Joe Hart..."
When Lineker was still exclaiming, there was another burst of cheers from the field, and the game officially started!
The visiting team, Germany, got the ball. Podolski knocked the ball back to Ballack behind him, and then he and Klose turned around and rushed towards the England half. Because Rooney pressed too hard, Ballack had to pass the ball back to Frings behind him!
But Rooney did not give up and continued to press Frings like a crazy little meat tank. The defensive midfielder from Bremen had to pass the football back. After three or four kicks, the football came to the goalkeeper Hildebrand.
wow wow~~~
There was a tide of applause in the stands!
"This is a good sign. The players are very active. It is completely different from the McLaren era. It seems that Madman Lee has changed the mentality of the team in just a few days..." Sester, who has completely become an admirer of Li Tongfan, flattered him at the right time: "Gary, what do you think?"
Lineker is still immersed in the shock that the 20-year-old Rochdale rookie goalkeeper of the British Championship team became the starting goalkeeper of the England national team: "It is indeed different from before, but only hard work is not enough. Now football is not a game for a group of reckless people...Joe Hart has only represented Manchester City in one Premier League game before. Why does Madman Lee think that he is stronger than Robinson or James? Madman Lee's change is very bold, but facing opponents like the German team, old players with enough experience are trustworthy..."
"I don't think so..." Sester immediately retorted after hearing the words: "Young players are the future of England. This is just a friendly match. Only by playing against a strong team like Germany can the little guys grow up quickly..."
on the field!
According to the requirements of head coach Joachim Loew, the players of the German team focused on penetration in the middle and played steadily.The two full-backs Lahm and Schultz with strong assisting ability obediently stayed in their own half and based on defense!
But the situation soon exceeded Loew's expectations!
After Maniac Lee cleverly chose 4-1-3-1-1, not only did he not give up his proud winger tactics, but also strengthened England's defense in the middle. The two defensive midfielders, Gareth Barry and David Beckham, firmly blocked the German team's tactic of pushing from the middle!
At the same time, the recovery of Lahm and Schulz gave England's wingers Downing and Gerrard a lot of room to start their sprints, and the frequent low crosses made the German team's penalty area turbulent...
This formation is like a big crab, with a hard and thick shell in the middle, and sharp pincers on both sides!
What's more cunning is that England's crosses are also very characteristic-all of them are close to the ground!
This kind of pass makes Merdesacker and Metzelder, who have obvious height advantage but slow footsteps, complain to the sky. Rooney, the fat man, made the two big Germans suffer a lot through his flexible and coquettish running position alone. If the German midfielder Fries and Hitzelsberg return to the penalty area to support, the cross from the England side will hit the outside of the penalty area in an inverted triangle...
Lampard and Beckham, who were ambushing there, are both super masters of long-range shots. Eight minutes before the game, they each had a very ideal long-range shot opportunity. If it weren't for Hildebrand's high-resistance resistance and efforts to resolve it, the German team's maiden goal has been broken...
Courtside!
勒夫眉头紧皱，不得不承认疯子李一直压着不公布首发名单确实给德国队造成了困扰，4-1-3-1-1战术也出乎勒夫的预料！
勒夫仔细研究过疯子李26人大名单中每一个球员的特点，本以为疯子李为了确保执教国家队首战的胜利会沿袭他在皇家马德里时代战无不胜的4-1-2-1-2，但是现在场上发生的一切让勒夫明白小看了这个比自己还年轻的对手！
Cunning Chinese, the reputation of "God on the sidelines of the football field" is really well-deserved! !
However, such a change can only be temporary, not kingly. As a well-known football tactician, Loew quickly came up with a countermeasure, but before he had time to command the players to make changes, an accident happened on the court...
on the field!
After taking the ball, Frings hit the middle again according to the coach's request. He evaded the pressing of the midfielder Gareth Barry and passed it to the forward captain Ballack. Seeing this, Podolski and Klose immediately pulled the England team's central defender and started running. Unfortunately, Ballack's through ball was cut off by David Beckham, another England midfielder who was in place...
At this moment, the effect of Crazy Li arranging Barry and Beckham's double midfielders appeared!
Beckham immediately passed the football after the tackle. For the German team, this was a precise and deadly pass. Just now they were on the offensive side, but they were counterattacked by England in a blink of an eye. The hasty switch from offense to defense caused a hole in the German team's defense...
Beckham's pass was like a pre-programmed smart computer, which directly crossed Merdesacker and Metzelder, the last German defense line, but made goalkeeper Hildebrand unable to abandon the goal...
Rooney succeeded in anti-offside, and faced Hildebrand with a brutal shot!
The football whizzed past Hildebrand's open arms like an angry cannonball, and hit the net fiercely. The huge force and high-speed rotation even made Hildebrand hear a refreshing creaking sound...
Then, Wembley Stadium erupted!
The whole of London trembled!
"...GOOOOOOOOOOOAL-GOAL~~~~~David Beckham's beautiful tackle and pass!!! Wayne Rooney's beautiful shot!!!! It was a fucking beautiful match from beginning to end!! It was as cold as a bayonet... A fatal blow in an instant counterattack, the German team didn't react at all..." Sester's roar represented the voice of all England fans: "In the 10th minute of the first half, Manchester United striker Rooney's shot helped us take the lead... This is a very obvious tactical victory , Crazy Li's formation has won..."
Following Sester's commentary, the camera quickly focused on the coach's bench. Li, a lunatic with a smile on his face, was giving thumbs up to the players on the field, and Rooney also ran over to give Li Tongfan a high-five to celebrate after scoring a goal!
Every player in the England team knows who deserves the most credit for this goal, and the boss's pre-match tactical arrangements played a decisive role!Compared with McLaren, Madman Lee's tactical arrangement is obviously more targeted, at least the players will have clear goals when they play on the field!Tactical restraint allowed England players to feel at ease on the field like never before!
In front of Sester's protest-like shouts, the commentary partner Lineker praised with a smile: "Succinct coordination, efficient and practical scoring tactics, I have to admit that Madman Lee taught his predecessor McLaren a lesson, and his opponent Loew. Listen to the huge cheers from the Wembley stands, and you know that the new coach of the Three Lions has won the hearts of all England fans in just 10 minutes..."
But Lineker quickly changed the subject: "But now is not the time to celebrate the victory. Loew is also a tactical master. I believe that the German team will soon recover from tactical mistakes... Terry and Anton-Ferdinand's double central defender is not tacit enough, and Anton's strength is not small compared with his brother Leo... What's more deadly is that the 20-year-old goalkeeper Joe Hart is really worrying. If the German team can get a chance to shoot, England will be in danger..."
The goalkeeper position is a pain in the heart of all England fans. Ever since David Seaman retired, England has never had an eye-catching goalkeeper. Perhaps this is why Madman Lee recruited rookie Joe Hart!
But Sester obviously didn't think so: "Love is indeed very good in tactics, but Crazy Lee is not bad either. I think Joe Hart is very good. Maybe he will surprise us?"
