Football: Rejected by the national team, I flew to England

Chapter 0161: Three World Preliminary Matches, Seven Goals! I think in less than two years, Lin Xu will enter the all-time goalscorer of the English team!!

The fans, especially those sitting behind the Albanian goal, all watched with shocked expressions as the heavy bombardment that directly caused the goalkeeper to fall to the ground.

Some people opened their mouths wide.

Others swallowed their saliva with dry mouths.

It’s terrible!

England fans and Dragon Nation fans, sitting far away from the goal in the home fan area, only saw a bright “GOAL” on the big screen of the stadium, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout Wembley Stadium.

When the shouting was over, they were surprised to find: Huh?

How did the goalkeeper fall to the ground? In the live broadcast room.

BBC Sports’ Ned jumped up the moment the football hit the net, and he almost stood on the table in the live room.

“Gooooooooooooooooooal！”

“Lin Xu!”

“It’s still Lin Xu!”

“Assist from Chilwell, Lin Xu retreated to the middle to get the ball! Bajlami, Hisai, and several Albanian midfielders tried to stop Lin Xu, but Lin Xu used excellent passing and dribbling skills to successfully break through to the inside of the Albanian penalty area, and at a distance of about twenty yards, facing the defenders Kumbula and Viseli who came up to defend, he directly completed a heavy cannon shot! ”

“Super heavy cannon like Carlos!”

“Pierced the Albanian goal!”

“Goalkeeper Strakosha tried to save the ball out of the goal with one hand, and you can see from the slow-motion replay that Strakosha’s hand touched the football! But! The power of Lin Xu’s kick is too great! ”

“Strakosha saved the ball, but the power of football was beyond his imagination! The Albanian goalkeeper was not able to save the ball, but hurt himself! ”

“Incredible power!”

“Incredible shot!”

“This is not the first time that Lin Xu has shown such a heavy cannon on the court.”

“In the last match, the World Preliminary Round between England and Hungary, Lin Xu also hit such a Carlos-style heavy cannon shot! I don’t think anyone will forget that the ball went straight through the Hungarian net! Smash a hole in the nets on Wembley Stadium! ”

“And today!”

“Once again, we saw Lin Xu on the pitch with such a powerful shot!!!”

“Lin Xu! England’s youngest national team captain! Today! The first time he appeared in the game wearing the captain’s armband, he completed a hat-trick!! ”

“This is the third hat-trick of Lin Xu’s career!”

“Also his second hat-trick in the national team competition!”

“Three World Preliminary Rounds, Talk Ball!”

“Who can say that Lin Xu will not become the best captain in England in the future!!! If it goes on like this, I don’t think it will take two years! Lin Xu will enter the top ten of the England team’s all-time goalscorer list!! ”

Ned’s voice was extremely excited! It’s amazing!

Even if he is already a die-hard fan of Lin Xu, Ned will still feel a heartfelt tremor because of Lin Xu’s every shot!

Lin Xu’s goal efficiency makes the BBC Sports ace commentators who have seen countless big scenes feel incredible.

Others can average more than 0.75 goals per game, they can already be called efficient goalscorers, and Lin Xu!

Three games for the national team, seven goals, and four assists! He scored eleven goals in three games!

At this rate, it is only a matter of time before Lin Xu enters the top ten of the England team’s all-time goalscorer list!

Ned even felt that Lin Xu was likely to accomplish this feat in next year’s World Cup!

“England is in the top 10 all-time goalscorers, and so far only former captain Harry Kane is active, while John Woodward, who is in tenth place, has 29 goals!”

“There is the World Cup next year, the European Cup qualifiers in September 2023, and the main match of the Euro 2024, with Lin Xu’s goal efficiency, he can completely break into the top ten of the England team’s all-time goalscorer list in the past two years, becoming the second active player in the top ten of the England team’s all-time goalscorer list after Kane!”

“Kane is 28 years old, but Lin Xu is still young!”

“Southgate has now put Lin Xu in the position of the main center, World Cup, European Cup, qualifiers, Lin Xu has enough time to challenge for a higher ranking of the team’s all-time goalscorer!”

“Maybe someday!”

“We can also see Lin Xu become the new number one scorer in England’s all-time goalscorer.”

“I believe!”

“This day won’t be too far away!”

The English fans were also excited to hear it.

Now the number one on England’s all-time top scorer list is former England captain Wayne Rooney who currently coaches Derbyshire.

Rooney is also the record holder for England’s all-time most appearances.

The former captain has played a total of 120 international games and scored 53 international goals, which has made it difficult for the players behind to surpass.

Harry Kane was hoping to break this record, as the only active player currently in the top 10 of the team’s all-time goalscorers, Kane has scored 36 national team goals, and his national team appearances are only half of Rooney’s, in the national team, Kane is already quite an efficient striker.

But now.

Lin Xu replaced him as England’s centre-forward.

Everyone can see how much Southgate attaches importance to Lin Xu.

If England’s coaching team does not develop a tactical play that allows Kane and Lin Xu to coexist, Harry Kane’s playing time will inevitably be sharply reduced in the future.

It is likely that he will only be able to get some playing time during the time period when Lin Xu is replaced.

In such a case.

Whether Harry Kane will be able to score another seventeen international goals in the remaining years of his career, surpassing Wayne Rooney, is hard to say.

After all, the number of national team matches is far less than club games, and the record of 120 appearances like Rooney is already the first in team history.

Harry Kane’s future appearances have been difficult to surpass Rooney.

The number of goals is even more difficult.

Most of the goals scored by the national team are in the World Cup, and in heavyweight matches such as the European Championship, in addition to the qualifiers, England will face strong opponents.

In a match like the World Cup, every goal can be called worth thousands of dollars!

The World Cup Golden Boot usually has only six or seven goals.

In addition to qualifiers, it is often difficult to brush data in other national team matches

Kane’s seventeen goals from Rooney may not sound like much, but it’s almost a barrier away… Without Lin Xu’s existence, Kane may still be able to rely on the accumulation of time to complete the surpassing of the first in team history.

But now there is a Lin Xu.

He was able to score even fewer goals.

But there’s no way around it.

Harry Kane’s goal efficiency is not low, but Lin Xu’s efficiency in speaking the ball far exceeds his.

And judging from the results of the match between Petersburg and the Championship, it is known that Lin Xu is a big scene player when he is strong, he is good at abusive dishes, and he is better at helping the team win in adversity.

Compared with Lin Xu, Kane, who is already very efficient, is indeed much inferior.

And Lin Xu is younger and has more room for improvement.

Between the two of them, whether it is the fans or the manager, it is easy to choose.

Although England fans are grateful for Kane’s past contributions to the team, this does not prevent them from supporting Lin Xu as the team’s main force and starting centre-forward, and in their opinion, Lin Xu is the future of England.

This is also the reason why Harry Kane is willing to take the initiative to tell Southgate that he can give up the captaincy to Lin Xu.

Harry Kane himself knows that his goal efficiency is not comparable to Lin Xu, and the role and contribution he can play in the team is far inferior to Lin Xu.

In addition, every goal Lin Xu has scored so far has not been a penalty goal

Darren and Southgate actually considered changing the team’s penalty order to Lin Xu first after appointing Lin Xu as the new captain of the team, but Lin Xu himself rejected this suggestion.

Petersburg’s current order of penalty kicks is not fixed.

Darren handed the order of the penalty to Lin Xu to decide, just like when Kanu did not score, Lin Xu would give him the penalty to take the penalty, Lin Xu chose who needed to break the goal drought, who would take the penalty.

The same goes for free kicks.

Lin Xu does not need penalty rights and free kicks.

You can also get statistics on goals or assists on the field.

And in the Three Lions Legion.

The same is true.

Soth 5.1 Gate had no objection to Lin Xu’s choice.

He said that if Lin Xu needs a free throw, he will go to the penalty, and when he does not need it, he can give it to anyone in the team to take the penalty, which is the captain’s right, and he will not interfere with the order of the free throws.

But Southgate’s trust, he was handsomely rewarded.

Seven goals and four assists in three national team games, such astonishing statistics are enough to prove Lin Xu’s importance in the English national team.

With Lin Xu here, the Three Lions Legion will only become stronger.

More scrappy.

So Ned blows without psychological burden.

“Don’t forget, Lin Xu is only eighteen years old this year!”

“As long as he can continue to score goals like this, there is no doubt! He will definitely become England’s new first-time team, breaking Rooney’s national team speaking record until now! ”

“And!”

“Judging from Lin Xu’s age, as long as his professional peak is long enough, not to mention playing until the age of thirty-six and seven like Ronaldo, as long as he can maintain his peak until about thirty-two and three, the World Cup, the European Cup, he can at least participate in five or six more national team competitions!”

“It is also entirely possible to break Rooney’s all-time appearances!”
