Max-level burst damage at the start, the British Empire arrives!

7 PM on April 10th.

São Paulo Stadium.

A cool breeze blew by, and Sun used his shirt to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The temperature today is only 28 degrees Celsius, which is not bad for the competition.

But at this time of day, the sunlight shines on the grass, the moisture evaporates and then the heat is released into the air, making the temperature on the field at least two to three degrees Celsius higher.

In addition, the 4.5 fans in the stadium kept releasing carbon dioxide an hour before the game, making the entire stadium feel very stuffy.

In this kind of weather, giving your all for a spot in the finals could very well lead to the painful buildup of lactic acid within an hour.

Playing a full 120 minutes against Argentina in this weather would only worsen the already difficult situation for the England team, who already have one less day of rest.

In yesterday's match, the outcome was decided after only thirty minutes, and the German players played with both ease and caution for the next hour.

They were relaxed because the outcome of the game had long been decided, and under such circumstances, they could play however they wanted.

But Schürrle's appearance put all the Germans on edge, and he scored two more goals in front of tens of thousands of heartbroken Brazilian fans.

When he scored the last two goals, Löw on the sidelines looked serious, and the German fans in the stands were somewhat at a loss, even hesitant to celebrate.

That kind of kick is a bit disrespectful and shows a lack of emotional intelligence.

It's important to know that Brazil is a country where slums are interspersed throughout the cities.

If any village chief gets upset, the German team's bus might be greeted with incendiary bombs and a barrage of shots after the match.

They don't need to rise up in rebellion to accomplish these things, and they probably don't even need to make much preparation, as the equipment is readily available.

We'll take care of things, then hide in the village. We can stay there forever. You guys try going in and arresting us.

After the Brazilian team lost, the football atmosphere in Brazil almost disappeared overnight.

For all Brazilians, the World Cup is over.

Therefore, the São Paulo Stadium today is filled with deep red and blue-white colors.

Argentine and English fans were both singing, but it was a stark contrast between the two.

The very self-absorbed Argentine fans kept clapping and then singing and dancing to cheerful tunes.

Meanwhile, England fans were singing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," which is rather inappropriate at this time, like holding a funeral for a living person.

That means they have mastered the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument), otherwise they probably would have brought it to the field.

Argentine fans were silent for a moment, then spontaneously began hurling insults at English fans.

"Look! These idiots are panicking!"

"Honey, don't worry! I know you guys threw up today just to see Messi!"

"Higuain can't score even from five meters out; he's a fool pretending to be a professional player!"

"You guys should play Ginobili at center, because you all use your hands for everything!"

"Can you understand? Then let's sing it again in Spanish!"

"..."

Seeing the Argentine fans' reaction, the English fans in the stands erupted in laughter and began to taunt the Argentine team by singing.

Listening to the England fans' endless recitations of lyrics, one after another, without repeating themselves, Sun truly admired their ability to use phrases.

The away games in the Premier League and the Championship are generally considered the most difficult to overcome in the world, posing a huge challenge for players from other leagues and youth academies.

The biggest reason is that home fans in the English league are adept at breaking down the players' mental defenses, hitting the away team's most vulnerable spot perfectly.

In order for a player to establish himself in the Premier League, in addition to having excellent professional skills, he must also have a strong mental fortitude.

Imagine the moment you make a mistake, all the home team fans stand up and cheer, while a burly man three meters outside the sideline points at your face and calls you a piece of trash.

Before the next similar scene occurs, the home team's fans will be celebrating your mistake in advance, and you might be numb before the game is even over.

There are many typical cases here, the most famous being the "world's best defender" Senderos who was traumatized by Drogba.

Inside the stadium, Argentine fans are like dancers, while English fans are like rappers.

When the two sets of fans meet, the English fans always seem to have the upper hand in verbal sparring.

Although the England team is ridiculed by domestic fans as the "European national team," during major tournaments, England fans are always highly emotional and would never do anything like "changing teammates" or insulting their own players.

After the final warm-up, head coach Hodgson, like an orator, stirred up a lot of hatred with a few words, and then started to pump up his enthusiasm.

After his speech, the England players cheered excitedly.

This speech immediately dispelled Sun Ke's idea of ​​becoming a head coach after retiring.

Professional football demands far more from a head coach than professional players, especially in English football, where a head coach needs both the strategic planning skills of a large company general manager and extensive tactical knowledge.

In addition, they must have a professional eye for personnel selection, high emotional intelligence and public speaking skills, and the ability to identify players' abilities and potential.

On the field, you need to be adaptable, and before and after the game, you also need to deal with the media.

Despite Hodgson's somewhat mediocre appearance among many renowned managers, he remains an undisputed elite figure.

In the players' tunnel, the England players were shouting and yelling, while the Argentine players were silently staring ahead.

As the team's captain, Messi's performance can be described as that of a "silent leader" to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, he is a captain who is unworthy of his position.

In a team, if the head coach's appointed captain and the locker room leader are the same person, then the team's morale will definitely not be a problem.

The spiritual leader of the Argentine team is actually Mascherano. If it weren't for this world-class defensive midfielder's strong sense of team honor, this Argentine team, which was weak in attack but tough in defense, would have had a hard time making it all the way to the final and fighting Germany to the end.

In the commentary booth, Martin Tyler excitedly exclaimed, "Let's take a look at the final starting lineups for both teams!"

"Argentina's starting formation is 4-4-2!"

Goalkeeper: Romero!

"Defenders: Zabaleta, Demichelis, Garay, Rojo!"

Midfielders: Lavezzi, Biglia, Mascherano, Perez!

Forwards: Messi, Higuain!

"Compared to the quarterfinals, Argentina made only one personnel change: coach Sabella replaced Di Maria with Perez."

"England's formation remains 4-2-3-1, but Hodgson has made significant changes to the lineup."

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart!

"Guards: Walker, Terry, Cahill, Ashley Cole!"

Defensive midfielders: Phil Jones, Milner!

"Attacking midfielder: Sun Ke!"

Left winger: Rooney!

Right winger: Walcott!

Center: Lambert!

"Gary (Lineker), are you surprised by this lineup?"

Lineker said with a serious expression, "To be honest, I didn't expect Hodgson to dare to make such a large number of adjustments in such an important game."

"But if you look closely at the changes in Argentina's formation during the knockout stage, it makes perfect sense."

"Argentina used a 4-3-3 formation in their first four matches, but their three attacking players didn't make them perform well in attack."

"In the round of 16, Argentina had 29 shots and 62% possession, but didn't score until the 118th minute!"

"Although the Swiss players spent most of their time chasing the ball, they still managed 14 shots, 7 of which were on target!"

"If Sun Ke had had those shooting opportunities, the score would likely have been 3-0 or 4-0!"

"In the quarterfinals, Argentina switched to a 4-4-2 formation. Although they only had 10 shots, it did not affect the team's scoring efficiency."

"In this tournament, Argentina's attacking players were in poor form; they did not perform as expected."

"And Son Heung-min can completely suppress Mascherano in midfield, and the two defensive midfielders can also put enough pressure on Messi."

"Sun Ke can score whenever he has the chance, there's no dispute about that."

"There's another piece of good news for the England team: Demichelis has regained his starting position after the knockout stage."

"This center-back has excellent one-on-one ability, is good at heading, has a high passing accuracy, is fierce in defense, and has a strong sense of positioning. These are important reasons why he can play for Bayern Munich and Manchester City."

"But this center-back makes frequent mistakes, which is good news for us!"

"Because Sun Ke never misses an opportunity to punish his opponents!"
