The most anticipated match of the season is England's clash with Brazil at Wembley Stadium. England has produced a number of talented players in recent years, known as the "real gold is not afraid of fire" generation, in the past 12 warm-up matches all won, this time the decision to continue the momentum of victory, and strive for a win. On the Brazilian side, the stars have been fading in recent years, and the lack of a stable coaching team, coupled with the absence of many key players, the possibility of an England victory is generally favored. (The match will start at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday.)
The England team has been dubbed the "Golden Generation" as international tournaments approach, and this March's international fixtures are seen as an important warm-up to the Europa League in late summer. Team leader Thufty has selected 25 top players worth a whopping 1.378 billion euros (HK$11.7 billion), including Halikani, Zuidi Binningham, Phil Cotton, Rashford, and Digran Rice, all of whom are the best in their respective fields. Even if Halikani is injured and Bukayosaka may also withdraw due to injury, the arrowhead of this team, Onitsukanse, will still be charging forward.
On the defensive end, England's experienced players such as goalkeeper Bickford and defenders Harry Magooni, Kilwonga and Stones have won six and drawn two of their foreign group matches in Europe, conceding only four goals in eight matches. They have performed well in warm-up matches, winning all of their last 12 matches and maintaining an unbeaten streak of 16 warm-up matches. The last loss was in France on June 2-3, 2017, and the performance of the "Golden Three Lions" against Brazil is certainly worth looking forward to.
Meanwhile, Brazil has yet to name an official team leader, and with Nima's return from injury, the position is currently vacant. After losing to Argentina, Brazil suffered three consecutive defeats and hit a low point. The "three Arsenal treasures" called up this time - Gabriele Jenksis, Gabriele Martinelli and Gabriele Magalhaes - are all absent due to injuries, and their morale is greatly affected. Facing the powerful England, Brazil can only try their best to avoid a big defeat.
