Nine Hundred and Seventy-Three One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty-Six-2014

973 1966-2014

The visiting team's locker room.

In this game, England drew the visiting team's dressing room.

Of course, since their white home jersey and the Dutch team's orange home jersey did not conflict in color, the Three Lions still played in white in this game.

At this moment, assistant coach Moya was yelling, "Guys! Hurry up!! Hurry up!"

He is urging players to take the time to get out and warm up.

It is clear.

Even the battle-hardened Moya. It's also tense in a tournament like the World Cup.

"Moya, don't be so nervous."

Gao Bo said to his assistant.

"This is the World Cup... quarterfinals."

Moya took a deep breath.

"It's just the top eight." Gao Bo smiled.

Moya nodded.

He admired Gao Bo for this.

The man never seemed to know what nervousness was.

He was always so confident.

Gao Bo was not in the locker room.

Instead, stand on the sidelines and watch the players warm up.

He didn't speak.

The televised footage stopped on him several times, giving him several close-ups.

However, before the players warmed up, he returned to the locker room first.

After about three minutes, the players warmed up and returned to the locker room.

Gao Bo looked at the players, and the first sentence made the players smile: "Unfortunately, I didn't meet the Netherlands in the final..."

The players laughed.

Of course they understand why the head coach said that.

Because the opponent is the uncrowned king...in other words, they have never won a World Cup final match.

If this is the final, won't England win?

A joke calmed the players' slightly nervous mood.

......

"Very good, I am very satisfied to see that everyone is in good spirits."

Gao Bo had a smile on his face.

"This game is the only way for us to go further. For this game, my request is very simple..."

"victory!"

The players suddenly shouted together!

"That's right! It's victory!"

Gao Bo laughed.

"I don't want anything but victory!"

"The Netherlands is a tough opponent. There are some key players among them. I don't need to stress their abilities. I believe you all know that."

"What I want to say is, no matter who the opponent is! No matter how strong they are! Nothing can stop us from moving forward! Nothing can stop us from embracing victory!"

Gao Bo paused a little and looked at the players around him.

Pairs of eyes were looking at her.

"Maybe it will be difficult, maybe it will be easier than we thought!"

"No one knows what will happen until the game is over."

"But! I ask you, everyone! From the first minute of the game, start with the belief that you will win! Focus! Have no fear, and don't let anyone relax until the end of the game whistle!"

"The one who laughs at the end is qualified to taste the most delicious fruit of victory!"

There was a pause.

Gao Bo looked at his players.

He smiled.

With a confident smile.

"Go! Go take your glory on this pitch, take the highest honor in football!! Go tell them, we'll keep going! Go tell them! We won't be kings, we...were new king!"

There was a roar from the scene!

new king!

Be a professional football player!

Who doesn't know what that means.

World Cup Champion!

The highest honor in world football!

The honor that every football player strives for!

for this champion!

Countless people laughed!

Countless people wept.

Countless people are sad.

Countless people are persistent!

They held their heads high.

Towards the new water source stadium in El Salvador.

.....

the other side.

The home team's locker room.

Coach Van Gaal is doing the final tactical explanation and analysis.

This has been said many times before.

So, some players listened very seriously.

The attention of some players is on the LCD screen in the locker room.

It was the final of the last World Cup.

Netherlands, a video of the game against Spain.

It was a day that countless Dutch fans will remember.

June 3, 2010.

Four years ago.

If Robben's single-handedly can score goals.

Heitinga is sent off without a red card in overtime.

If Iniesta shot a little bit wide.

The Dutch may have achieved what they have longed for for decades.

However.

Nothing if.

The past cannot come back again.

Someone looked at Robben.

really.

Robben lowered his head slightly at this moment.

Grab the bottom edge of the stool.

Scratched white!

That was Robben's biggest demon.

Or rather... it was the one-shot failure of his career that bothered him the most.

If that one-shot goes in...

Robben gritted his teeth.

Win this World Cup!

Luo old man thought to himself.

The same goes for many of the Dutch players who participated in the last World Cup.

This defeat is their motivation in this World Cup!

....

"Welcome to El Salvador! You are watching the 2014 Brazil World Cup, the third match of the quarter-finals! The two sides are England and the Netherlands! Two giants from the European continent , will be competing for a ticket to the semi-finals on the South American continent!!!”

"The last runner-up, the Netherlands, has maintained an excellent state in this World Cup! And their opponent, England, is also in good shape! This game will be the focus of global attention!"

When the narrator is talking.

The televised footage swept across the stadium's stands.

In the center stand, there were England fans playing a huge banner.

First a portrait of Sir Bobby Charlton holding the Hercules cup, then below it, it reads: 1966

Bobby Charlton, England captain.

In 1966, England won the World Cup in England.

This is England's only World Cup winner so far.

Now...forty-eight years.

And at the other end of the banner.

It's Gerrard, the current captain of the team.

The same is the pattern of holding a trophy.

Below the pattern, it reads: 2014.

Two-time captain, lifted two championship trophies.

obviously,

This is what fans have been waiting for!

at the same time.

The Dutch fans who saw this scene were somewhat amused.

Although these days, many media are saying that the Netherlands are better than England and they have more experience in the knockout rounds of the World Cup.

But when the pattern came out, it could also be seen as a counter-attack from England fans.

Although England has not been doing well these years.

However, they still won the World Cup.

Players from both sides streamed out of the player tunnel.

Everyone could see the banner held high by England fans.

Gerrard sorted out his captain's armband.

champ...

Veteran Gerrard.

His eyes began to glow.
