Nine Hundred and Thirty-Nine Since the War

939 The Great War

When the sun rises the next day!

The matchday sun shone on the players walking out of the hotel lobby.

Today's training is very easy.

Because you have basically practiced what you need to do!

Therefore, today's training is basically based on physical activities. The main purpose is to keep the players in a good physical condition, so that they can face the upcoming battle!

After lunch break.

The players collectively had lunch in the hotel restaurant.

This is a lunch under the supervision of a nutritionist.

Each player's lunch is specially tailored to their physical condition.

Not allowed to eat more, of course, not allowed to eat less.

Of course, such a dinner is no fun, but, for the World Cup, all the players consciously abide by the rules.

After a little rest for half an hour after dinner, the players boarded the team bus with the team's coaching staff! !

The hotel entrance was crowded with reporters and fans.

See the England fans come out and cheer them on from those coming from England waving England flags and scarves.

Gao Bo waved to the players before getting into the car, his face full of confidence.

....

The England-Italy match is never short of attention.

In a way, it was the most watched game of the day at this point in time today.

A match between two teams from Europe.

Before the game, both the English media and the fans believed that Italy was England's biggest opponent in this group.

However, Gao Bo did not think so.

This is of course because in the original history,

Italy did not perform well in this World Cup. They did not show the style of the World Cup quadruple at all.

"I think everyone knows what this game is about."

Gao Bo was in the locker room, watching the players who had just warmed up from the arena.

In fact, when the players went out to warm up, he was also a little excited.

After all, this is also his first World Cup match.

As a football player, Nenggong personally participated in such a grand football match in the world, and this feeling made Gao Bo's cells excited.

And when the players returned to the locker room, Gao Bo had calmed down.

In any case, the game is not won by excitement alone!

He has to come up with a practical solution.

This Italian team has Pirlo as the core of the midfield, De Rossi and Marchisio are separated to play the report, and the 22-year-old teenager Verratti forms the backbone of the midfield!

On the striker, Italy relies on the bad boy Balotelli.

Although the star flavor is not enough, this Italy may be more suitable for playing Italian-style anti-reverse.

"We have been training a lot in the past month or so."

After the players were all seated, Gao Bo began to speak.

"The opponent's characteristics are very clear, we may need to guard against their counterattack..."

Gao Bo pouted when he said this.

"But....that's not the point of this game!!"

Gao Bo said! !

"This is a game by design, and the script is in my head right now!"

Gao Bo pointed to his head.

As the hottest head coach in the world right now, when he said this, there was nothing wrong with any player.

Standing in front of them is a head coach who led the team to an unprecedented seven championships!

"So...from the beginning of the game!! We have to overwhelm them with momentum!! Attack!! Use the impact from both sides to attack, and then..."

Gao Bo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gerald...

.....

When the players starting from both sides line up on the field.

Substitutes and head coaches have gone to the sidelines.

Prandelli stood in front of his seat, and when Gao Bo came over, he stretched out his hand.

The two head coaches simply shook hands, and didn't say anything.

After all, the two coaches have never had much of an intersection.

Prandelli is a famous Italian coach, while Gao Bo has no Italian coaching experience, and the two sides have no record of playing against each other.

Gao Bo didn't pay much attention to Prandelli, and walked towards his position after shaking hands.

The fans in the stands cheered at Gao Bo.

It's not just England fans here.

Many Chinese fans also bought tickets for the game.

After all, the popularity of the World Cup in China has led many fans to go to Brazil.

Even without Gao Bo, every World Cup has a large number of Chinese fans.

And because Gao Bo became England's head coach, the tickets for England's three group matches were snapped up by fans in an instant.

A large number of Chinese fans waved the red flag to cheer for Gao Bo.

And Gao Bo also applauded at the stands, thanking the fans for their support.

Almost most of the stadium is filled with supporters of Gao Bo.

This is also a good thing for the England team. After all, the home field advantage exists objectively. It is not a bad thing for the team to turn this stadium into the atmosphere of England's home court.

.........

"CCTV! CCTV, audience friends, audience friends, welcome to watch the 2014 20th World Cup Group D match, England vs. Italy!"

In front of the TV, Duan Xuan had to raise his voice.

Because it was a live commentary, he had to be like this, and in the atmosphere of the scene, his emotions were even more excited.

"For this game, we have invited the familiar teacher Zhang Lu to be the commentator of this game!"

Zhang Lu's voice appeared on the screen: "Hey hey, everyone!"

"We can see! The Pantenal Arena, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is full today! Judging from the color of the jersey, England are very lucky today to be able to play in a stadium that can almost be called their home. The stadium is playing!! It is now seven o'clock local time, the temperature is lower than the daytime, and there is still a little wind, the temperature is very suitable for outdoor sports..."

Duan Xuan briefly introduced the situation, and then chatted with Zhang Lu about the game.

"Zhang Lu knows, how do you watch this game, and how will the coaches of both sides arrange tactics?"

"Of course, both teams have their own characteristics. In terms of absolute strength, Italy has some advantages. However, the characteristics of the England team are also very distinctive, that is, their high-speed breakthroughs on the flanks can definitely bring Italy. Get some trouble!"

Zhang Lu began to chat at this time.

The players on both sides are now ready to sing the national anthems of their respective countries.

The war is about to start!
