Chapter 409 The Final Battle
After the semi-finals, England began to build momentum frantically.
In fact, from the moment the national team appeared, that is, from the first round of the group stage, England felt threatened, and then continued to show its muscles and show its own strength.
Of course, the fans can't bear to be robbed of the title of "No. 1 in the world". Now the audience and fans of the two countries have started to talk about trash.
Feng Xianjun was also a little over the top.
Although Feng Xianjun also really wanted to say something as simple as "the day after tomorrow, all those foreigners will be hammered to death", but he still said after careful consideration:
"Do your best."
"Then you underestimate us too much." Ye Xiu said.
"..." Feng Xianjun was silent for half a second, "Okay, then bring back the champion."
Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Of course."
"However, the little bastards in England are still very fierce. The average age is much younger than you. Most of them are around 20 years old, and they have several years of league experience. We should not underestimate the enemy..." Feng Xianjun still said.
This is also some of the information he has learned. The players in the Premier League are iterating very quickly. In Feng Xianjun's view, this is definitely a sign of the emergence of a large number of talents.
As for the national team, the younger ones were Chen Xing and Qiu Fei, and the two were already the best of the new generation.
Ye Xiu didn't pay much attention.
Feng Xianjun didn't say much, he was very relieved of Ye Xiu's ability to lead the team.
but……
Feng Xianjun suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, do you still want to play?"
Ye Xiu was slightly surprised by Feng Xianjun's question.
Before the start of the World Invitational Tournament, the group of people from the national team tried every day to let him play in the official game, in order to see the suffering of foreign players and feel the horror of the uninitiated in Ye Xiu's hands.
However, when it came to the World Invitational, it turned out that they were not satisfied with playing in the group arena at all, and Zhang Xinjie had always occupied a position in the team competition, and his performance opportunities in the World Invitational suddenly became tense. Throwing things behind and mostly scrambling to get on the field.
Chen Xing had asked not long ago, but now that Feng Xianjun mentioned it again, Ye Xiu was also silent for a while.
"Actually, I don't need to play at all, they are enough. You also know that Chen Xing performed particularly well in this World Invitational Tournament," Ye Xiu laughed again, "Fortunately, the tenth season is over, no matter how late For two months, I will also feel very suspenseful."
"Ahem, I know, he is already the name card of our league..."
Feng Xianjun is very clear about the trends of public opinion of all parties, so he has the deepest feeling about Chen Xing's status in the hearts of the audience.
Moreover, Feng Xianjun already had a lot of plans in mind, and he just waited for the World Invitational Tournament to be implemented after the end. With the promotion, Chen Xing would definitely become a superstar player in the world's glory circle.
However, this is not the topic he wants to discuss with Ye Xiu now.
"Speaking of which, will you come back?" Feng Xianjun tentatively asked.
The reason why he didn't dare to be so sure was of course because of Ye Xiu's amazing performance in the tenth season finals. Chen Xing defeated Ye Xiu in a one-on-one match, but the final result of the Excellent Era finals was a narrow defeat. , It is difficult to summarize in a few words.
All in all, Ye Xiu's strength is very strong. Even if his operation has not reached the peak of the year, he can still rely on his rich experience to make up for it in various aspects.
After all, he is not only a god of battle, a master of tactics, but also a god of glory, a textbook of glory...
Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head: "There is no such thing as endless, my age is already here, okay?"
Feng Xianjun's brows and eyes suddenly stretched: "I knew it..."
After all, the shelf life of e-sports players is not that long. Unlike basketball or football, they can play until they are 30 or even 40 years old... Judging from Ye Xiu's answer, he should still be in the human category.
"What, you're afraid of my comeback?" Ye Xiu said.
"Hehehe..." Feng Xianjun didn't speak.
Then Feng Xianjun changed the subject again.
"Although this year's World Invitational Tournament is only the first, it has been successful in all aspects. It has been confirmed that it will continue to be held one session after another. Our high-level officials have recently held many meetings to discuss the future of the Glory Tournament. direction."
"It can be said that Glory may be the most popular among all e-sports events today. Glory events may not be comparable to those football events with a long history, but they definitely have great potential and influence. In the future, we will The competition rules of the major leagues will be gradually unified, and a new international association will be established..."
"According to the meaning of the high-level, after the game is over, you will continue to serve as the head coach of the national team... and the positions in the association and the league, of course, will be related to glory, which will not hinder your research on glory. set up a stage..."
"No problem." Ye Xiu said.
"So if you still want to play again, then seize the opportunity." Feng Xianjun suddenly became serious.
"What I just said, originally I wanted to tell you after the World Invitational is over. Strictly speaking, you are a retired player and cannot participate in the competition, but because this is the first year, you are allowed to bring an informal Players, the rules are quite loose.”
"It is not ruled out that these rules will be amended next year, coupled with the shift of work focus, will you still have the current state."
Feng Xianjun's words rarely made Ye Xiu fall into thought.
But unexpectedly, Ye Xiu was indifferent in the end.
"talk later."
This answer almost prevented Feng Xianjun from having a heart attack.
"It's up to you! But remember that you promised to win the championship, I will promote it according to this caliber, and don't make any fools when the time comes."
Speechless, Feng Xianjun left in a huff.
With a helpless expression on his face, Ye Xiu turned his head and opened the door and walked back to the training room.
"What were you talking about outside?" Huang Shaotian yelled when he saw Ye Xiu come back.
"It's nothing." Ye Xiu said casually.
As soon as he entered, Ye Xiu saw that the national team had finished the training match.
At this time, they are gathering together for replay.
They still don't know the map of the finals.
This is strictly confidential content, and no one will know the final World Championship map until the day of the official competition.
Therefore, everyone is more concerned about the running-in of the team competition, but they are not confused because of the unclear map of the World Championship, and they basically practice back and forth according to the previously prepared lineup.
At this time, the competition was over, and when they saw Ye Xiu come back, Yu Wenzhou and others also called him over to analyze some problems encountered during the team competition...
...
The first day of training passed, and came the second day, August 4th.
Because the map of the World Championship is really difficult to guess, if it is an away game, they can at least collect some maps that their opponents like to use, and then summarize the rules.
Now I can only pick some of the more commonly used terrains and more complicated ones to practice.
This kind of training is somewhat boring.
Early this morning, everyone researched and summarized as usual.
Each lineup they prepare has its own routine, and of course there are lineups from previous rounds. No one stipulates that a lineup cannot be used a second time. In fact, other teams with a large gap in strength do this. In order to ensure their own strength to the greatest extent, they will not be held back by other teammates.
Only the national team has a different lineup in each round of the team competition, and the style of play is also very different.
However, in today's training match, everyone was not very satisfied.
"I always feel like something is missing..."
"Maybe it's because I don't know the map, it's a bit different from my previous habits, and I'm not used to it, but this is unavoidable, and the opponent is also in the same situation as us."
"I think..." Chen Xing suddenly expressed his opinion: "We are not perfect in one place."
These words made the scene suddenly silent, and everyone present was quite vigilant.
If they are not perfect, it means that they still have flaws, and they might be targeted by their opponents.
"Where is it not perfect?" Someone asked.
Even Ye Xiu, who was standing behind the crowd, couldn't help frowning slightly. Could there be something he didn't notice?
Because it was Chen Xing who said it, everyone immediately became very serious. From Chen Xing's eyes, maybe they really saw something.
Chen Xing smiled slightly, glanced at the surrounding people, and finally turned his eyes back to Ye Xiu's direction.
"In the lineup changes we practiced, we haven't considered the possibility of a certain profession..."
"That is, loose people..."
Everyone was silent for half a second, then their eyes lit up, and they all looked at Ye Xiu.
"You guys really want me to play?" Ye Xiu laughed.
"It's the last round, don't you want to try?" Chen Xing stood up from his seat and looked at him.
All eyes were fixed on Ye Xiu.
...
In the three days before the finals, no one came to bother them except Feng Xianjun.
Those players from other clubs, their own teammates, and relatives and friends couldn't help but not contact and disturb them during these three days.
And in the past few days of training, everyone was a little bit above.
Because Lord Grim joined them, their lineup suddenly had a lot more possibilities.
Moreover, there are still thresholds for wanting to be teammates with casual people.
It is precisely because of this that everyone is a little bit unwilling to admit defeat.
Even if the running-in is not enough, it took a whole year of running-in for the Happy team to reach the current level, but with their talent and level, they won't be messed up.
As for Ye Xiu's appearance, it was actually something that many people were looking forward to.
It's just that Ye Xiu gave them more opportunities to perform in the World Championship.
Three days passed by like this.
On the afternoon of August 5th, there was no training, and everyone had their own activities and rest.
August 6th.
Everyone got together step by step and practiced together for two hours.
Then, as usual, board the bus in front of the hotel and head to the stadium.
Although the general direction is still the Zurich Sports Center, they are no longer going to the sub-venue they were familiar with before.
It is the main venue of the entire Zurich Sports Center.
The entire stadium has a total of 30,000 seats. Even if an area is vacant due to the layout of the stadium, there are still more than 20,000 seats, and because of the heat of the event, many temporary seats have been added.
On the booth on the stage that had been set up early, a huge trophy had already been placed.
This is exactly the trophy in the warm-up video before the game a few days ago.
The whole body is silver, and the surrounding circle seems to be inlaid with gemstones, which is very gorgeous at first glance.
Under the absolute concentration of light, the light refracted on the surface of the trophy became more and more dazzling. On this night, everyone's eyes were attracted by the dazzling light.
This trophy is also very different from the domestic Glory League trophy. It is more advanced at first glance, and it also has the urge to lift the trophy.
Admission to tonight's game was earlier, and the scene was basically full.
And in the sub-venues, the fans of the national team, who could basically sit together and have a huge momentum, were almost drowned in the huge crowd.
The sense of presence suddenly dropped a lot, and Chen Guo couldn't help being a little surprised. You must know that although there were many people in the previous opening ceremony, it was not so full of enthusiasm.
Those present were not only the Chinese and English audiences, but also many other audiences.
And these audiences from other countries are not necessarily fans of the England team.
The national team has taken the lead from the very beginning, and it has attracted the attention of quite a few people along the way.
The national team has brought far more surprises and surprises to overseas audiences than the England team. After all, the establishment of the national team's image in the hearts of overseas audiences is a process of "starting from scratch".
The tactics and various styles of play shown by the national team brought quite a fresh experience to those foreign audiences, and people were not only surprised that Glory could play like this.
Every game, the national team is constantly bringing new experiences to the senses of foreign audiences.
As for England, because of their reputation, their performance is not so fresh.
However, this does not mean that those foreign audiences are not optimistic about England.
In the hearts of many people, England still occupies an important position. Even if they are not fans, many neutral audiences are willing to watch this game.
No matter which team it is for, just imagining the wonderful performance brought by the collision of these two teams, I feel that this ticket is not a loss.
After the pre-match performance, soon, it was the turn of the contestants on both sides to enter the arena.
"Next is the seating of the players from the two teams! The two strongest teams are finally meeting in the main stadium! The atmosphere at the scene is really warm!"
Pan Lin, who was in charge of the commentary in the live broadcast room, almost wanted to shout out this sentence.
It's so exciting to see the two teams together!
When the players on both sides walked out of their respective player aisles, the spotlights on the scene instantly focused on them.
After that, there was a shout that was enough to overturn the entire venue.
Next, there will be a duel between the Huaxia team and the England team. These two teams will meet for the first time and will be the only time in this World Invitational Tournament.
Tonight's game will determine the champion of the first World Invitational Tournament!
