"Let's review the whole game they've experienced from the first game of the group stage to the present."

Tang En's room was a standard room, and it was squeezed out at this moment. All members of the coaching staff were here, looking at the screen of the laptop and listening to Tang En's explanation.

The laptop is a collection of French team matches edited by Donn.

"The French team won Croatia 3-1 in the first game and won easily. Their concealment was even considered an accident by the French media after the game. "Donn leaned against the chair and told his colleagues around him. Speaking of this, he sneered with disdain in his nose.

"They found it surprising that they were scored by Croatia, and Croatia not only qualified from the group, but also entered the quarterfinals."

Tang En pressed the mouse and pulled it to the next section.

"Their opponent was Poland in the second game, 2:0. It was also a very easy game. Although they only scored two goals, the French team had the advantage in the whole game. The third game, with Russia. The French team had won both games and advanced from the group in advance. So they arranged a substitute lineup in this game, and despite this, they still defeated Russia 1:0. This game satisfies the Frenchman after the game.

"They really have reason to be happy after three wins in the group stage, only one goal was lost..." Des Walker continued.

"They played beautifully, and the media said that the French team is playing artistic football, which is physically and mentally happy." Tony Carl, the oldest coach, also expressed his opinion.

Tang En smiled and said nothing, and continued to let everyone see.

"Their opponent in the quarterfinals is the Netherlands. The Netherlands has poor results in the group stage and only won the second place in the group. But I am not surprised, because the overall level of Dutch football has declined in the past two years, and their talents are a bit unearthy and ungrounded, and it is normal to lose to France. Okay..." Don closed the video. Turned around and looked at everyone.

"Now the French's tails are raised to the sky." He said with a smile. "This is a good phenomenon. I hope they are raised higher. Isn't there a regular press conference this afternoon?"

Everyone knew what he was going to do, and a burst of laughter rang out in the room.

After the meeting with the coaches, Donn went to knock on the door of Wood's room. When he went in, he found that both of them were in the room. George Wood was chatting with Aaron Mitcher.

Seeing Don En walk in, Mitcher immediately understood who the boss was looking for, and quickly stood up: "I'll go out for a walk." Then he greeted Don En again: "Boss."

Tang En nodded.

Mitcher walked out and closed the door, leaving only Donn and Wood in the room.

"Why? Don't you ask me to sit?" Don't joked with the dull Wood.

Then Wood got up and made a gesture: "Please sit down."

Don can understand Wood's cold attitude.   Because he did not tell him the news that he decided to let Wood start the next game.

Done sat down and looked at Wood. He just wanted to open his mouth, but Wood had learned to answer quickly.

"It's okay for the foot injury, I feel like I've recovered."

Tang En laughed.   There must be many people who care about Wood in the past two days asking him the same questions.   He must have said such an answer many times.

Seeing Wood like this, Tang En wanted to tease him. “Is it really okay?” he asked in disbelief.

"Do you want me to kick you a few times now?" Wood stood up.

Donne laughed: "No, I'm afraid you will kick things here, so we have to compensate you. Let's say that, George. I'm here to find you... What do you think of the French team's recent performance?"

Wood was stunned for a moment. He felt that Donn's thinking was too jumpy. What does the French team's recent performance have to do with him? Why do you want to ask yourself?

"Did you not pay attention to the performance of the French team?" Don En asked.

Wood shook his head: "I heard that they have not lost the ball so far. I don't know the others."

"It's not just that they have never lost. They have won all the teams. Now they are the only teams that win all the games and host Spain." Don said. "Their performance in the first four games is perfect, and people can't tell the problem at all. They scored eight goals. After conceding one goal, Benzema is the best scorer in the Cup, and Loris is likely to compete for the best goalkeeper. Gurkuf has also been very popular. The French believe that their national team will definitely win the championship this time. Because they are the 'genius generation'. " Done slowly introduced the characteristics of this French team to Wood.

"For example, they are like a beautiful flower, popular."

Wood did not respond to Donne's evaluation.

If you are someone who is not familiar with Wood, you will definitely feel that communicating with Wood is a very painful thing. Because he always doesn’t talk much and will not give you a warm response. If you want the communication to continue, you have to try your best to find new topics, which is very tiring and boring.

Donn was familiar with Wood, and he was not dissatisfied with it. He leaned forward and blinked at Wood: "It's just a flower in the greenhouse."

Wood sensitively noticed that there was something in Tang En's words. Because whenever the boss was ridiculous, he would find something for him to do.

"Three days later, I hope you will turn into a strong wind and blow down the greenhouse that protects them." Tang En looked at Wood very seriously.

Wood was stunned for a moment and reacted: "In the game against France...I will start?"

Tang En nodded.

Wood didn't cheer loudly or stretch out from his seat, he just clenched his fists.

This action has exposed his mood at this moment.

Donn stood up and prepared to leave. “Study the video of these French games. I will ask Des to send you. Your task is very heavy.”

Wood is not afraid. He is worried only if he doesn't give him a task.

When Mitchel walked around outside and returned to the room, she found that Wood was watching with her laptop. She was very stunning, so he quietly came over. She found that it was a game video of the French team.

"What do you think of this? George?" He felt a little strange.

"Only by understanding the opponents can you better defeat them." Wood replied without looking back.

A light suddenly lit up in Mitcher's mind: "Does... you want to start the game against France?"

"Yeah." Wood nodded.

"yes!" Mitcher's performance was even more excited than Wood himself. He jumped onto the bed and almost knocked himself to the ground. "Haha! I feel relieved now! To be honest, George, I have been unhappy about the French team. Look at what they are blowing out now? It seems that the European champions are already theirs. What is the 'genius generation', the 'prettiest football', the 'the most eye-catching team in this cup'... I want to vomit when I hear it!"

As a British man, it is normal to look down on or even feel disgusted with the French. Wood was not surprised by Mitcher's performance.

"Just be able to play, teach those arrogant Frenchmen a lesson!" Mitcher rolled around the bed and then stretched out again, yelling with his fists beside Wood.

After being happy for Wood, Mitcher was also a little depressed. As the team's main striker, he started every game, but scored only two goals. He is known as England's best center in the next ten years, but his performance is not satisfactory.

"So the boss is here to assign tasks to you... So what is my task?"

Wood continued: "You are the forward. Isn't the forward's mission to score goals?"

"I think my strength is too weak, George... Is there any way you can strengthen your strength?" Mitcher felt that the main factor that caused him to score less than Rooney was his lack of strength. He could not compete with those strong central defenders in the penalty area. Many times he had to withdraw to get the ball. But can the forward who is far away from the penalty area still score?

Wood finally moved his eyes away from the computer screen. He looked back at Mitcher who was sitting on the bed behind him. “Eat fatter.” He said simply. He twisted back again.

Mitcher rolled his eyes, lay back with a strange scream.

"I will lose my figure if I get fat!"

If someone who is smart is coming, he will definitely respond to him: "You look like you are addicted to drugs now, how can you get your figure?"

However, George Wood ignored Mitcher's complaints. He focused on studying the French team's game. He quickly found his own goal from it. Several midfielders of the French team have high personal abilities. He was thinking that the boss should not let others stare at others, which would be a waste. If nothing unexpected happens, he should still defend the area.

Wood closed his eyes and imagined the game in his mind. He had not played the whole game for a long time, and the game against the French team would be very hard. In addition, he had to pray that his big toe on his right foot would not be hurt in the game. In fact, he lied to his boss just now, and his big toe on his right foot was still slightly painful. It cannot be considered a complete recovery. But in order for the boss to let him play with confidence in the future, this minor injury must be hidden.

Donne didn't know what Wood was thinking. George Wood performed normally during training in the afternoon, and he didn't feel uncomfortable whether he was running or touching the ball. This made the team full of confidence in playing against the French team.

Although the reporters present only took pictures for fifteen minutes, they all saw a healthy and healthy George Wood.

In the routine press conference after training, Don did not let George Wood attend with him, but instead ordered Gerald.

At the press conference, facing the question of "Will George Wood participate in the game against the French team" raised by many reporters. Don Eun did not give a positive answer, and he continued to play Tai Chi: "This kind of thing cannot be confirmed. We are all working in this direction. We all hope to see the best results." After talking for a long time, it was like not saying anything.

French journalists don't seem to care much about whether George Wood appears. They just want Donn to talk about their views on the performance of the French team in the last few games. Donnn knows what they are thinking about, these vain French guys!

But this was exactly what he wanted.

"The French team played very beautifully, and it was natural to be able to enter the quarterfinals. Their football shone brightly... At the same time, they also have many talented players, which really makes me envious..." Tang En's reaction surprised many English reporters. He was very proud of his words and even had a bad attitude towards his country's reporters. Unexpectedly, he talked freely when answering questions from French reporters. And looking at the words he said, they were all praising the French team. Don't he feel stingy? "I envy the French team for having many geniuses", what he meant is that the players of the English team are not good? Are he a British or a Frenchman?

"...I think it is very correct for the media to call the French team a favorite to win the championship before the game. I have to deal with the French team seriously. They are very strong... If you are not careful, we may lose. I am not complimenting anything. I am telling the truth. The football played by the French team is very modern and advanced. They can win both the championship and the audience. To be honest, this has always been my goal..."

Tang En said these words that made the French secretly happy and the British unhappy. Even Gerald was surprised. Although he had never worked with Tang En in the club, he had contacted the national team in the past two years. He always felt that his leader was a fearless person. No matter how strong the opponent was, he would dare to fight against the opponent. For example, in the previous German team, he did not show any fear, and it was exactly this way. The team could finally defeat the German vengeance. Because the players saw the courage to defeat the strong enemy from the head coach.

But what happened to the boss today?

Isn't this the style of the boss? What exactly is he thinking? Gerald made up his mind to ask the boss after the press conference. He can't wait to know what the boss is thinking.

What Tang En said even made French journalists urge to applaud - it was so great! Great!

The French could not hide the joy on their faces, and British journalists did not want to hide their discomfort. The following press conference immediately became the world of French journalists, and they kept raising their hands to ask questions. They wanted to hear Don En say more good things about France. British journalists were collectively silent, using an attitude of not asking questions as a protest against Don En's "focusing on the inside" behavior.

Tang En knew that he would stop when he saw it, and that if he said too much good things, the other party would not take it seriously, so he became reserved again.

After the press conference, French journalists left the training camp in England with a satisfied smile, but British journalists gritted their teeth and cursed Tony Donn and the Frenchman.

Gerald frowned and was worried. He decided to ask for it clearly.

"Boss."

Don Eun looked back at Gerald who was following behind him, and he was not surprised: "Hmm?"

"I don't quite understand what you said at the press conference...I don't think the French team is as strong as you said."

Tang En frowned: "Don't underestimate the enemy, Stephen."

Gerald thought the boss was joking at first. But looking at Tang En's serious expression, he felt that he was wrong.

"This is the quarterfinals. If you win, you can reach the semi-finals, and it's only a step away from the final. We can't underestimate the enemy. Any opponent must be taken seriously. I don't want the Welsh game to repeat again." When Donn moved out of "Welsh" once, Gerald had nothing to say.

Losing to Wales seems to have become a nightmare in England. As long as the team may feel proud and underestimated the enemy, Donn will mention the game again. Not only that. He also specially recorded and edited the game. He showed it to the players. Remind them not to underestimate the enemy.

But the problem is that the French team is not Wales. English players can't underestimate the French team no matter what...

"And the French team is really strong. I'm not telling lies, Stephen." Tang En continued, his serious look made Gerald no longer have any doubts. "Their midfield is very strong and they don't rely entirely on one person. Such an opponent is the most trouble for us. We can't stop the opponent's offensive by just freezing one person. And... George's injury..."

Tang En wanted to speak but stopped.

Gerald felt more and more that his leader was not setting off smoke bombs. It was not known whether Wood could play in the game against a strong opponent, which really made people feel very worried. After these games, he also knew that he was thirty-six-year-old and could not maintain sufficient physical fitness until the finals.

However, although what the boss said makes sense, Gerald still feels dissatisfied. We defeated the powerful Germany and ended our fate of not winning over Sweden for 48 years. Is it not as strong as the French team? He actually made the boss look so underestimated!

Although he is also considering the team, he feels uncomfortable no matter how he thinks. I admit that the French team is in the limelight recently, and even the odds of winning the championship tied with Spain, but are we here in Spain just to praise our opponents for their strength?

Gerald stopped asking, followed Tang En silently, just clenched his fists.
Chapter completed!
