Chapter 475 474 The culprit
The third round of the World Cup quarter-finals.
Su Dong took his parents and Wang Chuqing to the Schalke Stadium to cheer for Ronnie.
When he saw the starting lineups of the two teams, he already had a rough idea in his mind.
"England's match is over!" Su Dong laughed.
He was born in the Portuguese Super League. The Portuguese team has his best friends and many friends. Of course he supports Portugal.
"How could it be? England's cards are obviously stronger. Although Portugal has a superstar like Figo, how old is he? Now Portugal can barely count, and it's your best friend." Father Su Wenji had a different opinion.
Mother Yang Xiuyu and Wang Chuqing looked at each other helplessly, both smiled wryly and shook their heads.
In the past period of time, the father and son had to compete in almost every game.
Fight before the game to see who will win, argue about who performed better during the game, and fight for the result after the game.
In terms of professionalism, Su Dong must be even more professional. He just plays football, but professionalism is useless in front of his father, especially under the old father's nonsense tactics, Su Dong often surrenders.
These years, the world's football player can't be the king of football!
"Let me tell you, there is absolutely something wrong with Eriksson's starting lineup. Let Rooney play the starting lineup. What is he trying to do? Bullying Rooney and dying fast enough? Or do you think Carvalho is no longer good?"
Su Wenji also made sense, "Isn't it obvious? England just want to play more ground balls, so Wayne Rooney."
"Aren't you kidding? Portugal is a typical European Latin faction. In terms of technology and consciousness, England can't catch up with Portugal even if it kills a few horses. Do you believe it?"
"Then according to what you said, England should stop playing?"
"England should make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to their strengths and advantages. For example, Carvalho and Melania are tall. England should play high balls. Long passes and lobs are their advantages. It is reasonable to kill Portugal's defense line. Don't forget, England has David Beckham."
In terms of crossing from the side, Beckham is the No. 1 strength in history. Su Dong couldn't figure it out. Why is such a treasure left and not make good use of it?
"Hehe." Su Wenji was not convinced, "Do you think Portugal didn't guard against this?"
When the two were arguing, their mother Yang Xiuyu interrupted.
"Okay, okay, the game has started, concentrate on watching the game."
As soon as she made a sound, Su Dong and his father immediately fell silent.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and the mother in the house is the biggest.
……
The trend of the game confirmed Su Dong's judgment.
After the opening, England lost to Portugal in terms of passing and possession. Even in the first ten, twenty, 10 minutes of the opening, England was beaten by Portugal, and there was almost no way.
But Portugal also did not play well.
Cristiano Ronaldo was assigned on the left, Figo was on the right, the offensive was very fierce, and there were a lot of kicks from the wing, but Pauleta in the center was not strong. Under the restraint of Terry and Ferdinand, Pauleta had nothing to do.
In addition, on the midfield side, after Deco was suspended, there were problems with the entire midfield organization. Portugal's offense seemed to be full of thunder and rain, and there was no good way to take England.
Ronnie was active from the start, and his rivalry with Gary Neville was also a highlight of the match.
On the other hand, in England, Rooney's effect as a lone striker is not good, and Gerrard and Lampard in the midfield are not very well coordinated.
Many people in the outside world think that the problem of England's double virtues is that they are the core midfielders of their respective teams, leading to incompatibility, but Su Dong doesn't think so. As a player, he knows very well that when they reach the level of Lampard and Gerrard, their pursuit of the national team is very high. Even if there is a slight conflict between their roles on the field, it will not reach this level.
It's more because they want to accommodate each other too much, which leads to the inability to play smoothly and freely.
The football game is changing rapidly, and most of the time it depends on the players' instinctive reactions to deal with it. If you think too much, it is not good.
Therefore, the issue of double virtue is really misunderstood by the outside world.
As for Rooney, he plays a lone striker and is more than diligent, but the effect will not be very good.
……
The first half ended [-]-[-], and after changing sides to fight again in the second half, the trend of the game remained unchanged.
England still hopes to advance the ball through continuous passing, but unfortunately, they are not Barcelona.
The most concentrated expression is Rooney.
After he started the second half, he started to make more mistakes that shouldn't be, which is obviously not a good phenomenon.
Also as a striker, Su Dong knew very well that this was because he had less than the slightest advantage in front of Carvalho. His vigor was polished and exhausted by his opponent bit by bit, and his technical mistakes increased. He was intentional but powerless.
"Eriksen should really give Rooney a partner." Su Dong sighed.
Not long after he finished speaking, he saw on the court, England kicked a long pass from the backcourt to Rooney in front.
Rooney stopped the ball under Carvalho's marking, but was caught in a battle with Carvalho and Pettit.
The England striker was very fierce, scrambling fiercely, refusing to fall to the ground, trying to protect the ball, and causing Carvalho to lose his balance during the fight, but at this moment, Rooney stepped on Carvalho's crotch area.
This made the Portuguese central defender scream, covering his crotch in pain, with a very painful expression.
The referee blew his whistle on the spot.
"I'm afraid it's a red card!" Su Dong judged.
The closest Ronnie and his teammate Pettit rushed over and put pressure on the referee, but Rooney pushed him away.
Everything happened right under the nose of the referee, and other players from the two teams immediately intervened.
"This is really a red card!" Su Dong sighed.
Sure enough, the referee directly awarded a red card and sent Rooney off the field.
Scolari reacted very quickly and immediately replaced Pauletta, who was underperforming, with Simao and let Ronnie serve as a striker.
This substitution allowed Ronnie to shoot a cold arrow on the right side of the front of the penalty area in the No.706 minute, piercing England's goal and scoring the winning goal for Portugal.
This goal also maintained until the end of the game.
Portugal beat England [-]-[-].
……
After the game, Rooney's red card sparked a heated debate.
England legend Shearer said when explaining the game, "I think Rooney should find a stick and give it to Cristiano Ronaldo when he returns to the Manchester United training ground!"
Subsequently, the whole matter was quickly hyped up by the British media, spread to the whole world, and caused controversy.
In a very short period of time, Ronnie completely became a street rat.
Many people believe that Rooney should not protest to the referee, because Rooney is his teammate at Manchester United.
The British media described him as a "cunning Portuguese" who believed that he deceived the referee and caused Rooney to be sent off with a red card.
In an interview with the media, Ronnie said that he did not ask the referee for a red card, but emphasized that it was a foul and should be given a card. "But I didn't expect that he would directly give a red card. This is not my original intention."
But the British media obviously don't like this.
Before the World Cup, the national team, which countless English people placed high hopes on, lost the World Cup, especially when the hero Wayne Rooney was sent off with a red card, which was enough to make the British media collectively rage.
It's like hyping Beckham's red card incident in [-].
The difference is that eight years ago, Beckham took the blame, and eight years later, they found another scapegoat.
……
Su Dong received the news in Frankfurt, and he immediately called Ronnie.
The Portuguese over the phone lacked interest, and only said that he had been put together by the unscrupulous British media.
The Sun was even quick to reveal that Rooney had angrily stated in the dressing room after the game that he wanted to rip Cristiano Ronaldo in half.
This undoubtedly further confirmed the speculation of the outside world.
The Portuguese winger is the culprit of Rooney's red card!
Almost overnight, the British media let the whole world see their powerful public opinion offensive.
After Su Dong hung up the phone, he took the initiative to call a French media reporter he was familiar with, expressing that he would accept the other party's interview and hoped to speak out about the incident.
Soon, the next day, Su Dong's interview appeared on the French newspaper L'Equipe.
In the interview, Su Dong said that he was watching the game at the scene, and the referee decided to give a red card at that time, which had nothing to do with Ronnie's protest, "Because it was a very redundant foul with a very bad nature. Rooney stepped on Carvalho's crotch."
Su Dong believed that Ronnie was only putting pressure on the referee. It was the referee's authority to give the card or not, and even if he applied pressure, it was understandable, because he was representing Portugal in the World Cup, and Rooney was his opponent, not his teammate.
In the interview, as the most successful striker in the world, Su Dong did not approve of Rooney's performance in the game. He said that Rooney did not show his strength. There were many unnecessary technical mistakes in the game. In the second half, there were many mistakes, which accumulated layer by layer, and finally broke out into a stampede.
"I think the culprit is Eriksen, I don't think it's Rooney or anyone else."
"From the point of view of the formation, Eriksson has not found a tactic to effectively play England's strength. If it is not that Portugal's offensive threat is not strong enough, if it is not Deco's absence, England will definitely lose even worse."
Su Dong said that because England did not perform well and lost the game, it is unfair to put all the blame on a red card and Ronnie.
……
As the most influential superstar in the world, Su Dong's interview is still very important.
In particular, his analysis of Rooney's performance and his denial of Eriksson's formation has been recognized by many professionals, who believe that it was Eriksson's wrong tactics that caused Rooney to play anxiously on the field. In the end, he made many mistakes in the second half, which led to loss of control.
Su Dong's remarks greatly diluted the accusations imposed on Ronnie by the media, but at the same time, he also involved himself in it, especially since he played many Premier League teams before. Many British fans love and hate him.
Now, he took the initiative to block the gun for Ronnie, and the public opinion would naturally not be polite to him.
Su Dong was also mentally prepared for this.
