Chapter 1151 The Curtain Call Battle of the Golden Generation
In the previous three games, if the departure of some veterans was sad, then for England fans, this tournament will be the curtain call of England's golden generation.

The England team performed very well in the group stage, with two wins and one tie allowing them to qualify smoothly.

In this England team, the performance of several veterans is particularly eye-catching.

32岁的杰拉德、32岁的特里、32岁的阿什利科尔、32岁的斯科特帕克，这四名老将都是32岁，他们是曾经英格兰黄金一代的代表人物。

There are also 32-year-old goalkeeper Green and 31-year-old Lescott. There are many veterans in the England team in this cup.

Of course, this cup is also an excellent stage for England's young generation to emerge.

25岁的主力门将乔哈特，22岁的主力中锋维尔贝克、23岁的高中锋卡罗尔、23岁的快马沃尔科特、22岁的利物浦新星亨德森、20岁的曼联年轻中卫菲尔琼斯、19岁的阿森纳小将张伯伦……

These young faces will be England's important wealth for many years to come.

Coupled with Mesozoic players Rooney, Ashley Young, Milner and other stars, this year's England team is very rich in three generations of old, middle-aged and young players, with experience, drive, physical strength and dreams.

At 6:24 on June 20, Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium.

As the largest sports venue in Ukraine, the Kiev Olympic Stadium is the largest stadium in Ukraine. In addition to three group matches and a quarter-final, the final of this European Cup will also be held here.This stadium, which can accommodate 60000 people, is the most shining stadium of this tournament.

In the stadium, Yunsheng led the Italian team here ahead of time. The Italian players were warming up in the stadium, and Yunsheng led the coaching team to chat on the sidelines.After all, after several days of preparation, they already knew the situation of themselves and their opponents very well.

Speed ​​turned his head and looked in the direction of England's coaching bench: "Sir, today you are very similar to the opponent's coach."

Yun Sheng was taken aback: "Oh? Where does it look like?"

"You all took over the national team a month or so before the Euros started."

"Really, hehe."

Like the situation of the Italian team, the England team did not have a new coach until before the European Cup.

At the beginning of 2012, England coach Fabio Capello had a quarrel with the FA over the appointment of the captain of the national team. In the end, he simply resigned and quit, which made the FA dumbfounded.

Don't look at Capello's stubborn temper, but his 42 games of 28 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses in the past few years of coaching broke the record set by Eriksson and became the best coach in the history of the England team.

The FA then spent several months, and finally decided on the candidate for a new generation of coach in early May-the native English coach Hodgson.The coach, who is about to turn 5, encountered a lot of troubles when he took office. Lampard, Crouch and other generals missed the cup due to injuries, and Rooney faced a two-game suspension.

Yun Sheng and the others were chatting when footsteps could be heard in the player tunnel beside them, and the England team had arrived.

Captain Gerrard was at the front, followed by Terry, Rooney and other stars.

Looking at these English players, Yun Sheng couldn't help but lament how time flies.I think the original golden generation is now running out. The England team, like many European teams such as France and the Netherlands, is facing a stage of alternation between the old and the new.

When England coach Hodgson walked out of the player tunnel, Yun Sheng walked over friendly and shook hands with the old coach.

In fact, compared to Yunsheng, Hodgson is just older, and his performance on the football field is far inferior to Yunsheng, who is more than 30 years younger.

Even so, Yun Sheng was still very polite to him.

For this England team, Hodgson is definitely not the best choice.A temporary firefighting team member actually coached in the parallel world of later generations for four years.In four years, he stopped in the quarter-finals of the 2012 European Cup, and was eliminated in the 2014 World Cup at the bottom of the group stage with 1 point. In the 2016 European Cup, he unexpectedly lost to Iceland in the quarter-finals.After four years of tossing, Hodgson was dismissed from get out of class.And after he got out of class, the England team actually shined in the 2018 World Cup and performed very well.

The two shook hands and talked, looking very friendly, but both sides are very aware of the importance of this game.

Although both are new coaches who have just taken office, this game is a good opportunity for both sides to prove themselves, and no one wants to miss it.

At this time in the live broadcast room, Li Feixiang was taking advantage of the free time before the start of the game to introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

"The formation of the Italian team today is also 4-3-2-1: goalkeeper Buffon, defenders from left to right are Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli and Abate, three midfielders from left to right are Pirlo, De Rossi and Marchisio, two shadow forwards are Montolivo and Cassano, center Balotelli. There are Di Natale, Del Piero and other good offensive and defensive players on the bench."

"England's formation today is 4-2-3-1: goalkeeper Joe Hart, defenders from left to right are Ashley Cole, Lescott, Terry and Glenn Johnson, two defensive midfielders are Gerrard and Scott Parker, three attacking midfielders are from left to right Ashley Young, Rooney and Milner, and center forward is Welbeck. There are also young stars such as Carroll, Walcott, Henderson, Chamberlain and Phil Jones on the bench."

At this time Li Tie looked at Zheng Zhi: "Dazhi, you have played in both the Premier League and Serie A. You are very familiar with these two teams. What do you think of today's game?"

"What do you think? Sit in the private room and watch."

"Don't make trouble... Let me ask you what you think about the outcome?"

After the joke, Zheng Zhi looked at the starting lineups of the two teams: "I am not very familiar with this England team. Except for Gerrard, Terry and a few other players, I have never been in contact with many other new stars. But judging from their performance in the previous group stage, I think this team is strong. For many young people, this is their first trip to the European Cup. Definitely going to play hard.”

Li Tie asked curiously: "So, you are more optimistic about the England team?"

Zheng Zhi shook his head. He pointed to the Italian team and said, "No matter how resilient the England team is, I think Italy will win this game."

"Are you so optimistic about the Italian team?"

"To be precise, I am more optimistic about Coach Yunsheng."
