The next day, the remaining two games of the World Cup quarter-finals continued. The Neon team's staff team went to observe the game between England and Norway early in the morning to collect data and information on the next opponent.
Although Neon's current comprehensive strength is far superior to that of the British team and the Norwegian team, no one is careless at all.
Now the team has strong momentum and the players are united. After all, they have reached the semi-finals, and everyone wants to continue to fight for the final championship.
Therefore, in the comprehensive tennis training center of the hotel, all members of the Neon Team are training hard, and even started training duels within the team in several courts.
Yukimura, Sanada VS Tezuka, Fuji...
Atobe, Nioh VS Mutsu brothers...
Yuezhi VS Irie...
Tanejima VS Akutsu…
……
In the central court of the training center, there are also two figures moving back and forth.
One of the figures is a blond young man, while the other figure looks a little greener, but under that long silver hair is a cold and resolute face.
Bang...
Bang...
On the court, the sound of fierce batting could be heard endlessly. The silver-haired boy was none other than the fastest popular man in this World Cup, Kannawu Shinichi.
Opposite him is Byodoin Phoenix, who is known as the second master of neon.
"Who do you think our opponent in the semifinals will be?"
Byodo-in directly countered Kanna's attack with 60% of his strength, and at the same time asked Kanna in his mouth.
Bang...
Kanna moved his feet laterally, and also knocked back Byodoin's counterattack, and said: "Let's see the England team, their strength is not bad."
In response to Kanna's answer, Byodoin nodded. He was also optimistic about England's opponents in the next round.
After all, they have professional players in charge. Just the word "professional player" will put a lot of pressure on the Norwegian team. At the same time, the existence of professional players also gives the England team itself a backbone.
Thinking of professional players, Byodoin couldn't help but ask Kanna: "By the way, after this World Cup is over, do you have any plans to play professional games?"
"Well, Mr. Mifune will apply for a wild card for me at next year's Australian Open, which will be the starting point for my career."
While Kanna responded, he charged up the racket in his hand and swung it, hitting Byodoin's counterattack directly. Then he looked at Byodoin again: "Senior, what about you?"
After receiving the tennis ball from Kanna, while fighting back, Byodoin also sighed: "Two years from now, my strength is not strong enough yet, so I plan to continue wandering around the world after the World Cup.
Finding my tennis path.”
"You will definitely find it, senior."
Kanna's tone was very positive. As someone with half a god's perspective, he knew that two years later, Byodo-in's strength had reached the top among high school students, and even defeated the top high school student in the world at the time, the German team.
Polk.
Although Byodo-in was bruised and bruised in that game, a win was a win.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Listening to Kanna's words, Byodoin also smiled slightly, and then his eyes became extremely determined: "But before that, let us do a good job in the next World Cup."
Faced with such high-spirited words from Byodoin, Kanna's lips curled up slightly: "That's natural. After all, what I want is always the championship."
"Thunder...Ming...Ba...Gua..."
Boom...
As the words fell, countless black thunders enveloped Kanna's body, and his demon-like appearance all showed how powerful this young man was...
Although Oni Jujiro will miss the next game, but so what...
As long as he is there, there will always be only one goal, and that is the championship...
……
Time flies by, and around two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone on the staff team has returned from the game. At the same time, their semi-final opponent has been announced. As previously speculated, the Neon team's opponent will be England, ranked seventh in the world.
Team.
And according to the information obtained from the staff team, although the strength of the England team is not weak, compared with the United States, France, and Switzerland, which the Neon team has previously fought against, the overall strength is undoubtedly much weaker.
Their only strong point is Southgate, who ranks seventh in personal strength in the World Cup and is a professional player.
After getting this information, Kanna also took the initiative to ask his teacher Mifune to occupy the third singles position. After all, he was really afraid that Southgate, a leek, would be like the Swiss team because he did not play.
It is necessary to lose it.
You know, the system template did not make any changes in the match with Todoin just now, as well as the one-on-two match played by Touji Ekuta and Shuji Taneshima.
As for the reason, Kanna guessed that no one was using their full strength, and almost both sides were holding back their strength.
After all, if the team goes all out in training matches, it is very likely that someone will get injured. If this is the case, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, if you want to improve the system template, you need a real opponent, and Southgate, the head coach of the British team, is the last leek that Kanna can harvest before the World Cup finals, and Kanna will not miss it.
After hearing Kanna's request, Mifune directly agreed. He could not dampen the enthusiasm of his beloved disciple.
After confirming that he would be the third singles player, Kanna's mind was slightly settled.
Now his expectation is that the England team's head coach Southgate can also play in the three singles...
……
Two days later, the World Cup semi-finals officially started. As the top four teams in the World Cup, no matter which one is particularly eye-catching.
As the biggest dark horse of this World Cup, the Neon team has become the center of everyone's discussion.
No one thought that the Neon team, which had entered the World Cup again after more than ten years, would make great progress in this World Cup and even have a high possibility of reaching the finals.
Yes, except for fans in England, most viewers believe that the Neon team will definitely advance in the semi-finals, and then compete with the winner of another semi-final for the final championship.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Eight thirty in the morning...
The four teams participating in the semi-finals have all arrived at Roland Garros Stadium.
Although today's semi-finals are divided into two games, the games are held at the same time.
Because Spain won the other quarter-final match with a total score of 3:0, so they became the German team's semi-final opponent without any surprise.
There was also an episode in the match against Italy. Medanore, as a newcomer, defeated the Italian head coach and professional player Boric, who ranked eleventh in personal strength, with a total score of 2:0.
And Medanore is also the third newcomer to defeat a professional player after Kami Nobuichi and Polk.
Because of this, as a veteran BIG4 team, it has now shown its strong strength, so the game between the German team and Spain was once again arranged by the organizing committee in the main arena.
The semi-final between the Neon team and the England team can only be held in the auxiliary hall.
Eight forty...
Tread...tread...
A burst of neat footsteps came one after another. Players from both sides had begun to enter.
At this time, the stands were already packed with seats, and countless spectators were looking at the Neon Team.
Not only because the Neon team is more likely to advance to the finals, but also because of the Tennis Weekly report, countless domestic Neon fans also came to Paris to cheer for the Neon team's game.
Looking at the audience, all paying attention to the Neon team, some players from the England team began to show angry expressions on their faces.
After all, the England team is also a quasi-powerful team, but the Neon team, on the other hand, has always been a weak team for more than ten years.
But now, most of the audience is unanimously optimistic that the Neon team will advance to the finals, which makes many English players look a little ugly on their faces.
After all, they relied on their strength to advance all the way. Why should these viewers not be optimistic about their England team...
These unhappy English players were somewhat confused because they were promoted to the semi-finals. They even thought they could knock out the Neon team, which had defeated France and Switzerland, from the finals.
Of course, we can't blame them. After all, they are also victims of the English media. After entering the semi-finals, the English media began to work hard and touted the English players as unparalleled.
The Four Heavenly Kings, the Great British Emperor, and the King of Doubles. Almost every English player has been given a resounding title by the media. Under such circumstances, how can these players on the England team not become arrogant and arrogant? They even feel that they are fully capable of knocking the German team off the throne this year.
Of course, there are also sober people in the England team, namely head coach Hodgson and head coach Southgate.
After all, my family knows their own affairs, and their promotion to the semi-finals is entirely dependent on luck. There is a clear gap in strength between them and those real BIG4 teams.
Although the two of them also knew that under the flattery of the media, the mentality of most players in England had become arrogant and arrogant, they did not stop it and could not stop it.
Although the players are a little flattered by the media, at least they have full self-confidence. If they really say that there is a huge gap between their team and their opponents, I am afraid that this confidence will be completely dissipated.
I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to fight.
Soon, at nine o'clock in the morning, the players on both sides were ready and the referee was officially in place.
"The following will be a World Cup semi-final showdown between the Neon team and the England team."
"Players from both sides are invited to enter..."
As the referee finished speaking, the neon players, led by Kanna, slowly walked onto the court.
However, when the Neon team came to the net, most of the players from the England team were seen holding their heads high, with disdain on their faces, as if they did not take the Neon team players seriously at all. p>
Kanna couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this. He didn't know what these English players were so proud of...
Soon, the two sides completed the pre-match handshake etiquette, and everyone returned to their team's area.
At this time, the announcement on the court has already sounded, and the semi-finals will officially begin.
"The following will be a doubles match between Neon team Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Shusuke against England team Eric Wilkins and Jesse Lingard."
As the referee finished speaking, the players from both sides were about to enter the stadium, and the fans of the England team who came from afar shouted loudly in English from the sidelines.
"It's our doubles king..."
…
"My majestic emperor, Great Britain is the king..."
…
"My Emperor Lin is infinitely arrogant..."
…
