Chapter 201 Volume [-] Red Forest European Championship
The 2004 European Cup was a European Cup that Twain could not remember except for the Greek team two years later.In that tournament, whether it was Rooney's sudden birth or Zidane's last minute turnaround, it seemed amazing at the time, but in the end, he discovered that the team that impressed him the most was a team, rather than a star.
Being able to relive the European Cup on the spot this time was an extra experience, which made Dunn feel that there are still many benefits to traveling forward.In addition, he can also learn closely how Rehhagel uses tactics.The overall tactics of the Greek team were too strong, and Dunn even felt that they completely surpassed any team in that European Cup.They were able to win the championship in the end, and they deserved it.
The only thing that worries him now is whether the chain reaction of his arrival will affect the European Cup held in Portugal?What if Greece can't win the final championship?Of course, there must be a luck factor in winning the championship, but Twain feels that Rehhagel used the Greek team to show the world football a tactical idea at the European Championship, which will still be spread and promoted, but if they win the championship, The speed of this promotion is very fast...
In the past, everyone said that the Greek team's skills were rough, and the defensive counterattack was to rely on intensive defense to steal the ball, then drive to the front with big feet, and then use the high center forward's header advantage to pose a threat.
But what the Greek team showed in the competition was another kind of defensive counterattack-starting from stealing the ball, and then advancing to the opponent's penalty area. .The small cooperation and quick passing and cutting between two or three of them are the essence of Rehhagel's defensive counterattack.Watching those big men skillfully pass the football back and forth, and then reach the opponent's goal after a few passes, stop the ball and pass the ball just right, even if it is a defensive counterattack, it is also a kind of enjoyment.
The "Nottingham Evening Post" knew that Twain was going to Portugal to watch the game, so he hoped that he would write his watching notes in his column.Tang En was worried and didn't know what to write. Now he decided to focus on Greece. Regardless of whether this team can win the championship or not, they will definitely bring surprises to the world.
Piers Bruce was a little embarrassed when he heard Tang En's plan: "Uh, actually, we prefer you to write about England..."
Tang En shrugged: "Everyone is writing about England, and I don't want to join in the fun. Mr. Reporter, I'll bet you that the biggest dark horse in this European Championship will be Greece!" Another reason he didn't say was that he really I don't like the head coach Eriksson very much, so I have never been optimistic about England's future in major competitions.
During the 2202 World Cup, the English media advocated that the current England is the best team since winning the World Cup in 1966. What happened?They lost to the Brazilian team, which stumbled in the qualifiers and was forced by Turkey in the first game.The only thing worthy of their gratification is that the Brazilian team finally became the champion of that World Cup. In the 2004 European Cup, Tang En, who was still a fan, was also not optimistic, so when Rooney got injured and was eliminated by the hosts, it was also reasonable. In the 2006 World Cup, if it weren't for David Beckham, who was criticized by the media for being useless, Eriksson's team might not even be able to make it out of the group stage.

The English people have a sense of arrogance. They always think that they are the birthplace of modern football, and their level should be the best in the world. Therefore, no matter what star they produce, let their media hype them into a world-class star.The England team composed of these "world-class" stars is naturally the best team.
Their sense of arrogance is not only reflected in football, but also in all aspects of society.Many people must still recall the past, how glorious the empire on which the sun never sets was.Now its international influence has weakened, and it has even become a follower of the United States.They can only use that ridiculous arrogance to continue to maintain the dignity in their hearts.
Tang En was not interested in this kind of ridiculous national pride. He was not a British person himself, and he didn't like the Empire on which the sun never set.In addition, he knows the fate of the England team in this European Championship, and he really has no way to pretend to be looking forward to telling readers: We will definitely become the champions!
Eriksson is more suitable for the club head coach than the national team.Because he has a soft personality.
Maybe it's a prejudice, Twain just thinks that a person with a soft personality is not suitable to be the head coach of a strong team.
"Greece?" Bruce froze for a moment, "I haven't heard this name in an international competition for a long time. Are you sure?"
Tang En nodded: "Sure, because they have a very, very good head coach and a group of good players."
On the plane to Lisbon, Portugal, Tang En also talked about this issue to Tang. He believed that the Greek team's tactics could be used as a reference for the Forest team in their first season after being promoted.
Compared with others in the Super League, the Forest team does not have an advantage in strength.And many teams will somewhat underestimate the enemy when playing newly promoted, and they don't understand it yet.The Forest team can use defensive counterattacks to stabilize their position in the league.
Tang was a little surprised why Tang En knew so much about a national team that was unfamiliar to the whole of Europe.Tang En could only scratch his head and say that he prefers to pay attention to those small teams...
Pierce Bruce arrived in Portugal earlier than Twain, but he and Twain had different concerns.In order to bring back the news that readers care about most, he has to follow the England team all the way.Big and small things have to be reported back, even what clothes the wives of the players wear on the street is the focus of attention of the reporters.
Before the start of the big game, almost all the newspapers in England were full of various reports about the England team.Tang En wrote a feature on the Greek team in the Evening Post, and no one cared at all.
As a result, after the opening match, Bruce's first reaction was to find the Evening Post, which published Dunn's column the day before.Comparing the above words with the opening game one by one, he realized that he might have to admit that Tony is God...
What he said the day before, after the game, was absolutely correct.
It was not only Bruce who was surprised, but also Tang En who was always inseparable from Tang En.It's just that he was surprised earlier, because he watched the opening game with Twain, and Twain kept discussing with him the tactics used by Greece and Portugal during the game.
When Karagounis scored the first goal, Tang En asserted that Rehhagel's tactics could completely restrain Portugal.After watching the first half, Tang already completely believed in the person walking beside him.
Scolari is a master, and so is Rehhagel.Rehhagel's available cards were not as good as Scolari's, but Rehhagel had the upper hand.Perhaps in the eyes of the host and many fans, the Greek team played boring football, with ten players defending and one attacking.But from a coach's point of view, Tang thinks it's all normal.
The Greek team has no capital to dance European samba in front of the Portuguese. If they want to prove that they are not weaker than the hosts, there is only one way - to beat them, no matter what tactics they use.
Rehhagel did it, and the result that no one expected before the game really appeared in front of everyone, even though he said after the game: "This is the most important victory in the history of the Greek national team!" But Dunn and Tang We all know that Rehhagel was not carried away.He knows exactly what his purpose of participating in the European Cup is, not to win the opening game, or to score a goal, or to tie a game... He has a great goal, but no one knows.
Tang En knew.
In the following days, apart from taking the time to write columns for the Evening Post, the two of them basically spent their time on the road running around.They watched most of the games they could see live, and the remaining games that were played at the same time were also watched on TV and recorded.
Tang En came to Portugal to watch the match. On the one hand, he inspected those cheap and practical players. On the other hand, he learned from the experience of excellent head coaches. Whether it was success or failure, it was all on the list he and Tang studied and analyzed.
From the player's point of view, this cup has disappointed Tang En a little. Those young people who are called "stars of hope for this cup" have been famous for a long time, and there is nothing new about them. There are a lot of competitors—for example, Wayne Rooney, who is still playing for Everton. The media in England are hyping wildly. After the European Cup, they will be bought by the Manchester United team at a high price. The Forest team wants to compete with Manchester United?Don't even think about it!
As for the Dutch rookie Arjen Robben, the Swedish rookie Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the young Czech national Cech, etc... Strictly speaking, they are not newcomers. Which one of them has not been famous for a long time?Robben and Cech have already been booked by Chelsea. No matter how rich Evan Dougherty is, can he be richer than Abramovich?Although Ibrahimovic eliminated the Italian team in this European Cup, Italian clubs are very interested in him.If there is no accident, Juventus should have successfully snatched this Swedish young man who was known as the "Second Basten" during the Ajax period.
