Chinanews.com, Doha, December 5th (Reporter Bian Liqun) Arrived at the Gulf Stadium 3 hours ahead of schedule. After I got to the media booth, I was a little "doubted about life". The table corresponding to the media ticket turned out to be the broadcast reporter area?

　　The British reporter who was preparing for the game next to him was also a little puzzled.

However, after repeated confirmation, it is true that there is only a table with this number in the venue.

It should be the staff responsible for the approval, who kindly gave me the scarce resource of table seats.

　　When I was young, I loved listening to the radio, and once set my career aspirations to this.

That said, a small part of that dream -- covering the World Cup next to broadcast journalists -- seems to have come true.

　　Broadcast reporters in traditional football powerhouses are quite professional. A tactical board, several marker pens of different colors, densely packed notes, a ruler, and an old mobile phone for timekeeping... occupy the media table with a limited area.

　　As for the team, as the birthplace of modern football, "Let football go home" is the cheering slogan of the Three Lions.

Kong Yiji, described by Lu Xun, said that there are four ways to write Hui characters.

For the England team, "going home" also has two meanings.

When the grades are not good, this sentence can become a self-deprecating slogan for being eliminated; when the grades are good, this sentence is a motivational slogan.

　　When the grades are not good, this sentence can become a self-deprecating way of being eliminated.

When the grades are good, this sentence is the slogan of motivation.

　　For the current England team, the meaning of bringing football home is obviously the latter.

　　Among the top 32 in the World Cup, England has the highest value. The lineup is very luxurious and the age level is reasonable. There are not only experienced veterans, but also players in their prime, as well as young talents who are on the rise.

　　32-year-old Kyle Walker, Henderson, 29-year-old Kane, 22-year-old Foden, 21-year-old Saka, 19-year-old Bellingham...Glarish and Rush are still sitting on the bench Ford, Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Ramsdale and other core players of Premier League teams.

　　With this lineup, which team is not afraid to play against them?

Which team's coach can not envy?

England players celebrate a goal.

　　In the game against Senegal, England did not start well. The opponent imposed relatively large restrictions on the midfield, and was even at a disadvantage for a while, almost breaking the gate.

　　It wasn't until the 38th minute that the England team passed the counterattack, and the veteran Henderson went first.

　　In the fierce World Cup competition, the side who scores first will have a very big advantage, especially when a strong team like England shrinks and fights back, it is even more unsolvable.

　　England's second and third goals are scored in exactly the same way.

With the goals of Henderson, Kane and Saka, the England team defeated their opponents 3:0 and entered the quarter-finals for two consecutive World Cups.

　　Obviously, England coach Southgate must have learned the lesson of the European Cup runner-up.

　　The bad experience of 3 draws and 3 losses and relegation in the UEFA Europa League before the World Cup has also formed a great vigilance for the soldiers of the England team.

　　However, judging from the state since the start of the game, the performance of the England team is relatively stable, but whether it is Iran, the United States, Wales or Senegal, for them, it is not a tough battle, and the tests they create are limited.

　　England's next game will be against defending champions France in a strong enough dialogue to reach final level.

If the single-round lineup is thick, it must be that England is better, especially in the context of 5 substitutions in this World Cup.

　　For the two teams, no matter who misses the final four, it will be very regrettable.

　　But the World Cup is like this, the strong can only be stronger.
