Red Rebels

Some people once commented on the British media, thinking that they are very keen to make stars, so they created one star after another, such as Beckham, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard and other local stars, all of them were praised by them. an extremely high position.

It should be said that these players are considered to be very strong among English stars. Looking at the world, they cannot be said to be super-first-class, but first-class stars can also be achieved. However, under the tout of the British media, these stars can be compared with Ronaldo and Ronaldo. Dinho and other superstars are comparable.

The consequence of this is that in every major competition, British fans will have high hopes for England, thinking, ah, this year's England star-studded, the striker has Rooney, the midfielder has Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, etc. World-class stars, with first-class defenders such as Ferdinand, Gary Neville, John Terry, etc. in the back line, except that the goalkeeper is weaker, there is really no reason not to win the championship.

and then?

After the European Cup, the British media set off a wave of trials, the first of which was Beckham, who missed a penalty in the European Cup and caused England to be eliminated, and then Scholes and others, which also directly led to the Coles announced his retirement from the national team after the Community Shield.

In September, the European qualifiers for the 2006 World Cup in Germany started. After the disappointment of the European Cup, England fans rekindled the fire of hope, hoping to use their Italian silver to awaken England's fighting spirit and inspire the world-class English players. strength, especially against underdogs Austria and Poland.

But who could have imagined that on September 4, England was a guest in Austria. After Gerrard and Lampard scored two goals to lead Austria, they were pulled by Austria in the 71st and 74th minutes, and the away game was drawn by Austria. .

After this game, Beckham, who played as the right midfielder of the team, was not in good shape and failed to show the level and form of his peak, especially when Gerrard and Lampard both scored goals. Beckham, who has a high voice for the footballer, performed very badly. This also gave England fans who had hoped for a hearty victory before the game to find a vent, and the media was even more focused on Beckham. um.

Eriksen fully supported Beckham after the game, believing that he played hard in the game and was the captain of the team, the team failed to beat Austria, all players are responsible and should not push all the troubles away Leave it alone to Beckham.

Teammates such as Terry and Curtis also stood up to support Beckham, believing that he should not bear these accusations that did not belong to him. Gerrard was even more supportive, believing that Beckham's poor performance had something to do with the team as a whole. .

"In the past two seasons, he has been playing as an organizational midfielder. He has shown world-class level in this position, but in the national team, he has to return to the right!"

The support of the head coach and the solidarity of his teammates have weakened the momentum of Pobei, but this is only the beginning.

On September 8th, in the away game against Poland, when Defoe scored first, England suddenly conceded the ball before the end of the first half. The opponent's forward got a chance in the penalty area and scored an equalizer.

After that, although England tried desperately to get the score back, they still failed to find a way to break the gate of Poland. Beckham's performance on the right was better than the previous game. Several crosses were good, and the oblique long pass was also good. Basically in place, but he still failed to show the strength that the World Footballer of the Year should have.

In the words of many England fans on the Internet, they want a captain who can dominate the game and lead the team to victory in adversity, not mediocre, who only know how to run and pass blindly, blindly for Gary. ? Neville fills the position, and even goes to the captain of the central defender in the penalty area.

Football legend Alan Smith criticized Beckham in the newspaper after the game. He believed that Beckham was very hardworking and diligent on the field, but he seemed out of tune with the team.

His passing is full of mistakes, and he can't even find his teammates with his signature oblique and long-pass transfers.

"Without the ability to pass the ball, what else does Beckham deserve to be an England international other than the title of England's superstar still on his head? Can he pass? I'm sorry, he's not like that. Skill! Can he outsmart his opponent? Sorry, his speed makes him outsmart his opponent! This has been proven countless times in both races!"

The current well-known columnist of the British Broadcasting Corporation, Butcher, the core of England's defense in the 1980s, also named and criticized Beckham in the column.

"Although he is the captain, he is outside of England's overall tactics on the field. His tactical style and overall thinking are out of tune with other teammates in the team. When Gerrard and Lampard are attacking the opponent's defense again and again At the time, he chose to knock back again and again, he should not have appeared in the starting lineup at all, let alone become an England international."

In addition to these two famous names, there are also a large group of other media and experts who are responsible for Beckham. Even Martin Samuel has to admit that Beckham and England now seem to be incompatible.

What is the reason?

Samuel pointed out in the column that Eriksen wants to establish the central role of Gerrard and Lampard in midfield, but Beckham has become accustomed to his central role in playmaking, he is accustomed to directing his teammates to attack and defend. , using his passing and running, but in England, all players can only rush and do not know how to control the rhythm, which is why Beckham is not allowed to enter the English tactical system.

But Samuel also said that in the past, many English legends were longing for a player who could control the rhythm in England. Beckham's success proved that he was fully capable of this, but Eriksen did not. Courage to port the use of Beckham to England.

Lampard and Gerrard are both young and good, and when they get on the pitch, they can appear anywhere on the pitch, and their impact can ensure that they are everywhere looking for each other's holes, but their technical characteristics lead to It's hard for them to be the one who controls the rhythm of the team!

"It's not that Beckham is too weak, it's that Eriksen doesn't have the courage to use him, and other players in England simply don't know how to cooperate with him. They don't have the football IQ of Beckham!"

Martin Samuel also pointed out at the end of the column, that last year's strength has been proved by countless people, they are playing with a smarter football IQ, so they can put other English teams, Even Manchester United played with applause.

"Although it is a pity, I still have to say, Beckham, maybe you should really consider withdrawing from the national team like Scholes, focusing on playing, with the club's results last year, plus your outstanding performance this season. , you can get World Player of the Year and you don't need England at all!"

In addition to Martin Samuel and other few people who analyzed the reasons for the surname, more people chose to add fuel to the flames, because in the UK, criticizing Beckham can exchange for more newspaper sales, and at the same time can win higher Attention.

The British media has always been a combination of star-making and star-annihilation. They will try their best to tout a star, and then do everything possible to destroy him, and then tout another, and then destroy it. In this way, the sales of their newspapers can get Keep.

Seeing that Beckham was almost sentenced to death in a one-sided manner, I couldn't stand it any longer. The club's official website specially collected a lot of data on Beckham's two games from the opta data, including his number of rescues and interceptions. The number of times, the number of passes, etc., I hope to prove Beckham's efforts and role from this aspect.

However, in the large wave of inverted shellfish, the momentum seems weak.

Xiao Yu published his views on the two games on his blog. At the same time, he also supported Martin Samuel's analysis, believing that Beckham was not in bad shape, because he was the best in the Premier League this season. One of the players, but England simply couldn't use Beckham well.

"When everyone is eager to overthrow Beckham, you should think about what you will become once you lose him?"

At the same time, in the blog, Xiao Yu also criticized the fans who cursed Beckham and Victoria, especially the pregnant Victoria, and the fans even denounced her in every possible way, which made Xiao Yu get out of anger in the blog, Rebuke these ignorant actions.

Unlike Beckham's status in the eyes of the England national team and fans, who has plummeted, in the eyes of sponsors, Beckham still has considerable appeal and influence.

With the outstanding performance at the beginning of the season, the Ministry of Commerce also won a new commercial sponsorship contract for Beckham. This contract is for Gillette razors. The contract sponsorship period is 5 years and the sponsorship fee is as high as 70 million euros. .

This high-priced commercial sponsorship contract will also allow Beckham to surpass Tiger Woods, who has not played well in golf this year, in terms of annual income, and also surpass the F1 car king Schumacher to become the world's highest-paid athlete in one fell swoop. .

The reason why Beckham can reach such a height is due to his commercial operation. In the past two years, he has obtained sponsorship contracts such as Pepsi, Apple, Adidas, Vodafone, and Martha for him, and the sponsorship fees of these contracts are very high. , which makes Beckham's personal income more than Manchester United period in one fell swoop.

Under the key management of the club's commercial department, the commercial value of Beckham and Redondo has been greatly increased. Although Redondo retired, but the commercial value has already taken shape, including Vodafone and many other large enterprises. Borrowing the brand of Redondo to develop the African market, and Redondo himself is committed to global charity.

The sponsorship contract signed with Gillette was won by the club for Beckham, so Mourinho made an exception to allow Beckham to participate in the press conference arranged by the club after training, but to cooperate with Gillette to shoot advertisements. Wait until after the Chelsea game.

There was a one-week break between the 5th and 6th rounds. The club was preparing for the first round of the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week. Beckham made an exception to get a one-day vacation to cooperate with Gillette to shoot an advertisement.

At the press conference, facing a large number of questions from the media, Beckham answered his thoughts one by one, but his tone was a bit pathetic, which made many reporters who were familiar with him feel a little puzzled. ttp://wwnf.*he

Soon, when one of the reporters asked whether Beckham would consider withdrawing from the England national team because of this, Beckham's eyes immediately sparkled.

"The criticism of us from the outside world is fair. Our performance in the European Cup and World Cup qualifiers cannot satisfy and convince ourselves and our supporters. I feel helpless about this!"

Having said this, Beckham slowed down and took a deep breath.

"I am 29 years old this year. After the transfer, I feel that my form is very good. The club and the coaching staff have helped me a lot in this regard. I thank them. Maybe my body and my legs can support it. I continued to run on the court for a few years, but I had to make a choice, since everyone thinks that I should not continue to play for my country, then I respect everyone's decision!"

All the reporters were in an uproar, and no one thought that Beckham would choose to make this decision at this time, except for the well-known and sponsor Gillette.

Beckham stood up from the press box, supporting his body with his hands, "From today, I will retire from the England national team. Although this decision makes me very sad, I still wish the national team. I wish them success. , As for myself, I will serve until I retire!"

After speaking, Beckham turned and left the press conference!
