Chapter 1,275, 1 Until the End!
Hearing Jin Taige say this, the players were in a daze.
How far do you want to go?
No one seemed to have thought much about it.
The most realistic goal is to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup, which has now been achieved.
But how far we can go next, no one dares to say.
The players know very well that in this national team, except for captain Kane and veteran Rooney, no one is qualified to be called a top superstar. Even the Manchester United players who have won seven championships are not the absolute main force in winning the championship.
How far can such an England team go? How far do we want to go?
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Jin Taige looked very calm. He looked at the direction of the court, and then chatted with the players with great emotion.
"Guys, in fact, this World Cup trip feels like a dream to me until now. I was dragged to the England team by Southgate and became a coach, but unexpectedly became the interim head coach! And! I also want to lead the team to the World Cup!"
"Oh my God! At that time, I didn't even know how you were doing recently. How could I be your coach and lead you to the World Cup? So, I rejected the FA's invitation at the first opportunity."
"But later, Southgate sincerely asked me to help him with this request on his hospital bed, but I really couldn't open my mouth to refuse my friend's request. I bit the bullet and came to the national team, carrying the doubts of countless people, well , in fact, some of you also doubted me at that time, right? It’s okay, I know, I can understand it.”
"In the first game of the group stage, it was very difficult for us to win, and there was also luck involved. As a result, I was scolded miserably again. Many people said that I brought you and the England team into trouble."
"I want to thank you, thank you for your 10-0 performance in the second game. This game not only allowed you to relax the pressure, but also allowed me to let go of my burden. Since then, we have played more and more smoothly, and finally achieved the established goal of the top eight. .”
"I know you are very relaxed now, and I am very relaxed now. We have completed the task now, and this summer has been quite fruitful. But I was thinking about one thing last night: What does this World Cup mean to me?"
"I am almost certain that I will not coach the national team again in the future. I actually prefer the club, the feeling of getting along with the players day and night, the continuous leagues, and the challenging Champions League. So this trip to Russia , is my first and last time participating in the World Cup."
"Maybe you have different ideas. You are all young. As long as you are in good condition, you may be able to play in two more World Cups, which is no problem. But have you ever thought about the fact that there are so many talents in international football now, who will be the best in the next World Cup? At that time, will all of you be able to be selected smoothly?"
"Will your condition and strength be stronger than others? Will the future head coach like your style? Even if everything is ready, will there be temporary injuries and prevent you from participating in the World Cup?"
"I don't think any of you are sure about these questions. So for all of you, this World Cup is probably the last one you will participate in in your lifetime, and it is very likely!"
As soon as Jin Taige said these words, the players' faces became solemn. The players who had looked relaxed just now were all thoughtful now.
Jin Taige continued.
"From the first day I came to Russia, from the first game I stood on the sidelines directing,
I told myself to cherish every moment. Every World Cup game may be my last, and so are yours. "
"Now that we are in the top eight, I don't know how far we can continue to go. But I just feel that I want to move forward, keep going, and keep going until the end!"
"I have won many championships, but they are all at the club level, and none at the national team level. If I can go to the end in this only World Cup, then I will definitely go crazy with joy!"
"Guys, this is how I feel, truthfully and without reservation. Now I ask you the same question again: How far do you want to go?"
After Jin Taige said this, no one spoke. Everyone is thinking and questioning their hearts. The dreams that were hidden deep in my heart all came to me at this moment. The words that used to sound like a joke when I was young seem to have rekindled the fire of hope now!
Captain Kane was the first to speak: "Boss, after I was injured in the last game, you said to me, 'The team not only needs you now, but also needs you in the next games! We still have many games waiting for us. You go kick it!'"
"The many games you mentioned should not only be the next one, I think there must be at least three games! I want to keep winning until the end! We are not weaker than France! We are not worse than Belgium! We are one of the best teams and the team that deserves to be at the top!”
At this time Vardy also took a step forward: "Boss, I haven't scored a single goal in this World Cup. I'm not willing to give in! I want to keep playing and score more goals!"
Rooney said in a low voice: "This is my last World Cup, I'm sure of it. In fact, this trip to the World Cup was picked up. If the boss hadn't made an exception and called me into the national team, I might have had to sit there. Watching everyone play in the stands. Maybe I cherish the opportunity of the World Cup more than many of you. You are still young and still have opportunities, but I am old... One game in the World Cup for me is one less game. , so I don’t want to let time stop, I hope to finish all the games until the end!”
Hearing Rooney's words, Carrick seemed a little calm: "Wayne, you have played one less game in the World Cup, but my football career has been one less game. I had retired at the end of the season. But I'm very honored that the boss invited me to come. I think the same as you, I can't bear to leave the green field, I want to keep playing! Until the end of the World Cup! Until the last minute, every minute, every second!"
After hearing the words of these players, the team members were filled with excitement and excitement. Even Kim Tiger felt his blood boiling!
Jin Taige looked at everyone, and he found that every player seemed to have changed. Just now, no direction could be seen on their faces, but now everyone's eyes are extremely firm!
Standing in front of everyone, Jin Taige smiled slightly, with a confident look on his face: "Guys, since we have the same goal, let's not hesitate! Let's continue to press forward and bring the World Cup championship back to England. !”
