We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 414: England vs. Portugal, Camignani officially retires

The grouping for the World Cup round of 16 will soon be announced.

England, who finished second in the group, had bad luck and was assigned to Portugal.

However, since Portugal's game was the last to end, England also had a few more days of rest.

The first teams to start the battle were Brazil and Chile.

The Brazilians did not embarrass themselves in their home court and successfully defeated the Cherry Team.

Then it was Croatia and Uruguay who faced off against each other.

Uruguay undoubtedly has the better lineup.

But Croatia has done a good job of combining the old and the new in recent years.

To be precise, Modric's peers have grown up and Croatia has entered its golden age.

The game was very close from beginning to end.

But Croatia had better luck. First, in a corner kick attack, Modric stopped the ball with his chest outside the penalty area and then volleyed it, scoring a super world wave goal.

Then Eduardo scored with a ghostly shot in the penalty area.

Croatia defeated Uruguay 2-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

However, after the game, all media were circulating a picture.

That is, Modric pulled off his collar, half exposing his shoulders, speaking frankly, breaking the whole into parts, and his movements were very Chengdu.

People who don’t know would think that Modric was dancing striptease at the World Cup.

But in fact, he was showing the referee the teeth marks left by Suarez on his shoulder, uh, bite marks, uh... It feels even more strange when you put it this way.

That's right!

Suarez bites Modric!

Because Modric interfered with him in defense and the team was behind, Suarez became anxious and lost his mind.

Suarez received a red card on the spot, but that was not the entire punishment.

Two days later, FIFA spoke out and imposed additional penalties on Suarez for the biting incident.

Suarez was suspended for an additional nine games.

Banned from football-related activities for four months and fined $112,000.

Because this isn't the first time he's bitten someone.

He had bitten once in the Portuguese Super League, and this time he was breaking the law knowingly.

This is the top frame processing.

This instantly cooled Suarez's hot market prospects.

Even Barcelona has given up on signing him.

They are actively contacting Lewandowski, wanting the Real Madrid star to join, and have prepared 50 million euros for this purpose.

Lewandowski said he would consider it.

But he actually doesn't consider it.

He still has fantasies about his career at Villa.

Agbonlaho, Vardy, Dong Fangzhuo, Bale... Next, it's Lewandowski's turn, right?
No matter what, his value must be 60 million euros to be considered "the cheapest striker since He Tianqi took over as coach."

Considering the rising prices, Lewandowski set a small goal for himself: 70 million euros!
And this is a price that Barcelona cannot offer.

……

The World Cup continues.

The Netherlands beat Valencia.

Van Persie + Robben defeated Cuadrado + James Rodriguez.

France KO Nigeria, the conflict between Benzema and Giroud becomes increasingly irreconcilable.

After being replaced by Giroud, Benzema clearly expressed his dissatisfaction and did not even high-five the head coach.

When Giroud was asked about his relationship with Benzema after the game, he bluntly said, "He will never pass the ball to me," although Giroud later added, "Because it is difficult for us to be on the court at the same time."

But everyone can capture Giroud's true emotions.

In this match, France's victory was mainly due to midfielder Kante, whose various steals resolved 60% of Nigeria's counterattacks.

Germany's opponent is China.

This is very unfortunate for the Chinese team.

But fans all over the world watched a grand "Bayern Derby".

Dong Fangzhuo's goal was not enough to save the team. His number of goals in the World Cup was fixed at six, but he is still the top scorer in the current scorer list.

James Rodriguez and Vardy are leading with four goals.

The German team opened fire and beat the Chinese team 4-1.

They are the most powerful team so far, no doubt about it.

After the game, He Tianqi was interviewed and praised the Chinese team: "If they hadn't met the German team, this Chinese team could have gone further. I think they could even reach the top four!"

Of course, many Japanese and Korean fans scoffed at this.

Even many Chinese fans think that He Tianqi is too subjective, only saying good things and licking the Chinese team.

The reporter also refuted on the spot: "If the Chinese team is at the level of the top four, then what is the German team?"

He Tianqi: "The German team has the strength to compete for the championship. They should be the strongest team in this World Cup, no doubt about it."

After these words were spoken, many people could no longer sit still and began to attack He Tianqi.

"Germany is first? Then what about Argentina? Is it a joke?"

"We can beat the shit out of Germany!"

"Although the Argentines' words are harsh, Brazil is indeed the strongest team in this World Cup!"

"This World Cup belongs to Brazil!"

"It's time for the French team to be on top of the world again!"

"Belgium is the new king!"

"The Netherlands and Portugal are also very strong."

For a moment, He Tianqi stirred up a hornet's nest.

After the Chinese team successfully concluded its World Cup journey, Camignani also announced his latest developments at the post-match press conference: "I am very happy to lead this Oriental dragon to the World Cup. This is my best memory."

"Although I have won the World Cup twice with He, what excites me most is always when He suggested that I come to China to coach. He said I am suitable for this place and that football here has great potential."

"I think my work here should satisfy He."

"In recent years, many outstanding players have emerged in China, but my energy is gradually failing, so I will use the Chinese team as my last stage, retire here completely, and end my football coaching career."

The reporters at the scene were all stunned.

Retired?

Another top coach in world football has announced his retirement!

He is only in his seventies, which is the age when he should have a heart attack. Wouldn't it mean that if he retires he can live another ten or twenty years?

Camignani: Then you don’t know me. The starting point of my legendary life was the heart attack twelve years ago!
Camignani: "Of course, I will never ignore the Chinese team. Before I leave, I strongly recommend the excellent Italian coach, Simone Inzaghi, to the Chinese Football Association and Chinese fans."

"Yes, it's the head coach of the Italian team who just left office."

"I know his coaching career in Italy was not going well, but believe me, Inzaghi is a talented coach and the reasons for his failure in Italy are complicated."

"The main problem is the lack of outstanding young players, but the Chinese team is different. There are more and more good young professional players here. It is thriving here. I believe that Inzaghi will succeed here!"

According to He Tianqi's arrangement, Camignani recommended Inzaghi Jr.

Young Inzaghi is definitely He Xi's confidant.

The Chinese men's football team is in good hands and can still play well for a few more years.

No matter how the Chinese Super League plays fixed matches, He Tianqi is still the one who makes the decisions on the national team.

Once taken over by others, the Chinese national football team will immediately become a "concentration camp for match-fixing players."

If we arrest people based on the national football team's roster, especially those who are obviously not good but are good candidates, there may be false charges if we arrest them all. But if we arrest every other person, there will be fish slipping through the net everywhere.

The Chinese Football Association was extremely uncomfortable with Camignani's suggestion.

In the past few years that Camignani has been coaching, he has been too strong, so that not only has the Football Association failed to make money from the national football team, but even its previous means of making money have been cut off by half.

Whether or not to join the national team is entirely up to Camignani.

If you don’t perform well, you won’t be able to get in no matter how much money you are offered.

As a result, before Camignani left, he pushed Inzaghi over.

Even though Inzaghi's record as the coach of the team is not very good, his qualifications to coach the Chinese team are definitely a high ranking!
After all, Inzaghi is He Tianqi's direct disciple.

He is also the only disciple of He Tianqi who has not achieved any results so far.

You never know when it will break out.

Now that public opinion is in the spotlight, fans have agreed with Camignani and are supporting Inzaghi.

It is very difficult for the domestic football association to handle this.

In addition, several domestic head coaches originally planned by the Domestic Football Association were also tempted and either actively or passively withdrew from the competition with Inzaghi.

Among them are Fan Zhiyi and Li Tong.

Both of them have received coaching inquiries from La Liga team Alaves.

Although several rounds of evaluation are still needed, Fan Zhiyi and Li Tong obviously both want the opportunity to coach Alaves more.

After all, if you join the national football team, you will be at the mercy of others sooner or later.

They are not Camignani, and without the protection of the World Cup trophy, they cannot compete with those high-ranking officials.

……

The final few games of the World Cup round of 16.

Argentina defeated Switzerland and advanced.

Belgium easily defeated Greece and advanced.

And the battle between England and Portugal has finally begun.

Sixty-three thousand fans gathered at the Corinthians Arena.

As players from both teams came on the field, there was constant cheering.

The warmest applause in the audience came when Ronaldo came on the court.

As the recognized strongest player in the past five years, Ronaldo still has a slight advantage over Messi, De Bruyne, Bale and others.

But not much more.

If he fails to win a heavyweight championship trophy within two years, he will completely retire from the world's number one position and become a member of the world's number one sequence.

However, Portugal's lineup is far from star-studded.

They came up with a 433 formation:

Ronaldo, Eder, Nani

Amorim, Carvalho, Moutinho

Almeida, Alves, Pepe, Pereira
Patricio

-

Among them, except Cristiano Ronaldo who is a superstar.

Pepe is a talented player, but he has a very bad temper.

To be precise, his temper only really improved after this World Cup.

Because although he often received cards, even red cards, because of his temper before, the consequences were not serious. The worst that happened was that he lost three points.

But this time... In the first round of the World Cup, he lost control of his emotions after a confrontation with Muller and was sent off with a red card.

This resulted in Portugal being defeated 4-0 by Germany.

The next star player is Nani, but he ultimately failed to reach the expected heights at Manchester United.

There are rumors that Manchester United may loan him back to the Portuguese Super League next season.

Then Moutinho can barely be considered a midfield core, but he can only suppress B Fee and B Bench on the bench in the past two years, and in the future he can only assist the two second Bs.

Yes, the two second B players obviously have not yet gained the trust of the team.

Although he was included in the squad, he did not get a chance to play.

In order to win the championship, Ronaldo would rather have mature players to help him rather than training with two mediocre players.

And the midfielder Amorim, yes, that is the future Sporting CP and Manchester United head coach Amorim.

To be fair, Amorim's coaching ability cannot be judged by his performance at Manchester United, because no coach could have led the subsequent Manchester United.

That Manchester United team, which was terminally ill in every aspect, could not be saved by any one person, unless that person was familiar with Mao's Selected Works.

No head coach could escape unscathed at Manchester United during those years.

Whether you are Jose, the top coach Mourinho, Ole, the team legend Solskjaer, Ralph, actually the director Rangnick, or Ten, the fraudulent account-settler Hag.

Sporting CP's performance before and after losing Amorim can prove the ability of this head coach.

So even if he is fired from Manchester United, he will still get a good coaching opportunity to prove himself again.

At least, he is better at coaching than Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney and others who will become head coaches of the England team in the future.

Compared to the Portuguese team, the stars are dim.

There was no carelessness on England's part.

Instead, he gave Ronaldo absolute respect.

Because the England team lined up a... 541 formation:

Valdi

Welbeck, Lampard, Gerrard, Albrighton
Ashley Young, Smalling, Cahill, Maguire, Walker

Pickford
-

I just want to ask you if you are willing to do this!

No one could have imagined this lineup.

Before the game started, the camera repeatedly turned to Rooney on the bench, wanting to see if the Manchester United boxing champion was angry.

But unfortunately, Rooney didn't dare, oh no...didn't show any displeasure.

After all, he is the Manchester United boxing champion, but He Tianqi is the football boxing champion!

The English people are most impressed by the scene of him beating up the English bad boys in Manchester twelve years ago.

That was also the battle that sealed the love between He Tianqi and Monica!
The gun shoots out like a dragon, and every stick draws blood!

Not to mention that the outside world didn't understand, even Southgate thought that He Tianqi paid too much attention to Ronaldo.

Isn’t he the Real Madrid God of War?

Our Villa has defeated Real Madrid for three consecutive years, so why would we expect Ronaldo to stir up any trouble?
But Ronaldo's teammates such as Modric, Kaka and Di Maria all said that this was correct.

In any case, Ronaldo is still the world's number one striker.

Bale and Messi are still a little bit behind.

With a whistle, the game begins.

In the second minute, Portugal launched a fierce attack.

Nani made a strong breakthrough on the right and delivered a powerful blow to Ashley Young, the boss of his own club.

Then the ball was passed back to Moutinho.

Considering that Nani's nickname is Nani doesn't pass, we know that he failed to get past Ashley Young, otherwise he would have shot instead of passing.

Moutinho's long-range shot went past Smalling but was then blocked by Cahill.

There were many defensive players in the England penalty area, so it was not easy to find opportunities for long shots.
