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

Chapter 0166 Lin Xu only used three world preliminary matches to make himself worthy! Transfer in next year’s summer window,!!

Steve Holland, the assistant coach of the England national team, who stood next to Southgate, also had a look of surprise and appreciation.

But here’s the difference.

There was a hint of happiness in Holland’s expression.

Two months ago, when he followed Southgate’s orders to travel to Peterborough to watch what could be considered a low-level Championship game, Steve Holland felt that such behavior was completely unnecessary.

They shouldn’t really consider calling up a young player from the Championship relegation team to the national squad because of Darren Ferguson’s recommendation.

Darren is the manager of Petersburg and he will definitely have a filter on his own players and that filter.

In a national team with far greater intensity and opponents than those Championship teams that Petersburg faced, it doesn’t work.

Even if Lin Xu performed well in Petersburg.

It’s just good in the Championship.

Not to mention.

At that time, Lin Xu did not even gain a foothold in the first team of Petersburg.

They have never heard of a player named Lin Xu in the Championship.

Holland searched for Lin Xu on Twitter at the time, and there was not even a related tweet, and even Petersburg’s own fans may not be very familiar with this youth academy player with an Asian face, who is actually just a marginal player in Petersburg’s first team.

Even last season, when Petersburg played in the League One, Lin Xu did not get much official playing time.

Not to mention the data.

Peterborough’s defenders may have scored more goals in a season than Lin Xu, a substitute center.

In the past, when he played for the first team of Petersburg, he almost always went up to collect numbers in the garbage time left in the game.

Or when the team’s main center is injured and yellow card accumulation is suspended, he can get a little chance to play.

Holland flipped over Lin Xu’s past game highlights from his past appearances for Petersburg, poor ball control, poor dribbling, and poor shooting as a striker.

Is there any need for such a little-known Championship promotion substitute to go to the scene to watch the game?

Even if in the video transmitted by Darren, Lin Xu’s shot in the training match looks good, but based on his past average, it is likely that the goal in the training match is just to get a starting opportunity and play at a higher level.

Holland really couldn’t understand Southgate’s decision.

In Holland’s opinion.

Southgate may not be able to shirk, thinking that he will give his personal friend Mr. Ferguson Jr. a little face, so that he will make such a trip.

But why is it necessary.

As the manager of the England national team, Southgate should know very well that even if he himself is not present, but let Holland, an assistant coach of the national team, be on the scene, during such a sensitive national team break as September and October, he will definitely be noticed by those pervasive English tabloid reporters.

At that time, their English coaching team will be equivalent to being grilled on the fire

Those unscrupulous media reporters will definitely speculate about their intentions

Perhaps it was necessary to investigate every English player in the teams on both sides of the game at the time to figure out what they thought, and then publish a gimmicky and vulgar report.

After all, no one would believe that an assistant coach of a national team would be idle and bored to watch an ordinary Championship game at such a time.

Holland’s home team is not Petersburg or Birmingham.

To say that he only went to the game would not even believe him.

Holland doesn’t think his trip can be concealed from so many all-pervasive tabloid journalists, but English journalists have always been known in football for being able to photograph anything.

So Holland had a hard time understanding Southgate’s idea.

If they didn’t have the intention of directly recruiting Lin Xu, then wouldn’t such a public trip be looking for something for themselves?

Moreover, if he goes to the scene, the English players in the Petersburg and Birmingham teams will also be involved.

This is inevitable.

The media will certainly investigate every England player in the home and away squad to make sure no big news is missed.

It’s not a good thing for those players either.

But at the end of the day.

England’s national team manager is Gareth Southgate.

And not him Steve Holland.

Although Holland had a lot of say in the team, the final decision was agreed by Southgate.

So there is no way.

At Southgate’s insistence.

Holland had to run this trip.

When he traveled to Petersburg’s home stadium, London Road Athletics.

Holland was still thinking to himself.

Even if Lin Xu performs well in this game, or is a little bright, he will not support Southgate to recruit a substitute for a Championship team to enter the national team.

That sounds just ridiculous.

Which player in the English national team is not the main player of the top team worth tens of millions, how can a Championship substitute who performs well in just one game or training match become an international casually.

Not even if it’s just a call up for the World Qualifiers.

At that time, if Lin Xu performs badly in the national team’s matches, then where will they put their face?

Lin Xu did not even score a few goals in the Petersburg youth team.

He’s a striker!

The games that Petersburg’s youth echelon participated in were so simple, Lin Xu’s data was not as good as his teammates in the same period, could it really be like Darren described, suddenly bursting out talent?

They’re all from professional players.

Even if he did not become a world-class star when he was a player, who would believe that a player whose basic skills are not comparable to his youth teammates can have top talent and strength overnight.

Fairy tales are not so outrageous.

Holland had even thought about it.

If, after watching the game, the media asked him why he was going to Peterborough to watch a Championship game, he said the team was visiting Edwards

This young talented central defender in Petersburg is much more famous than Lin Xu.

Even a giant like Manchester United has paid attention to Edwards, saying that he is going to see Edwards, which is much better than saying that he is going to see Lin Xu, whose name may not even be heard by the English media.

Holland didn’t even think about it at the time, maybe Lin Xu would be eye-catching in the game.

In his opinion.

Lin Xu is completely unable to match the level of the English national team.

He would not support Southgai to summon Lin Xu.

However.

It’s that outrageous.

Although Holland does not know what the fans said, Lin Xu was rejected by the Dragon Country Football Association, and then broke out with talent, whether it is true.

But he is indeed glad now.

Thankfully, Darren selflessly recommended a super talent to the England national team.

The manager of Petersburg is not English.

He did this purely because of his personal relationship with Southgate, coupled with his love and help for young players.

Holland is even more glad that Southgate, who has always only liked the main players of the Premier League, insisted on his opinion on this absurd-sounding matter.

Let him be sure to go to the scene to watch the game, and then discuss whether to recruit Lin Xu.

Lin Xu only used an ordinary Championship game to conquer Holland.

If it weren’t for Darren’s recommendation, they would have missed out on such a truly talented player.

Without Darren’s private phone calls with Southgate, no matter how good a young player is playing in the Championship, it is difficult for Southgate and Holland to notice.

Even noticed.

Until Lin Xu completes his transfer and goes to play in the top league giants, they will not consider a player from the Championship.

The final determination of the World Cup squad next year usually comes earlier than the summer window at the end of the season, and without Darren, Lin Xu will miss next year’s World Cup in Qatar.

That’s for England.

is the biggest loss.

All to say, thanks Darren!

Thank you for recommending Lin Xu so selflessly.

England can get a strong reinforcement before the official arrival of the World Cup in Qatar, and get the core center and captain who really adapt to England’s style of play.

Now, with Lin Xu.

They are more confident in next year’s World Cup.

The Final Four… At least the Final Four.

That’s Southgate and Holland’s goal for next year’s World Cup.

If Lin Xu behaves well.

They may be able to challenge themselves to finish in the top three.

Even first.

A Hercules Cup.

This year’s Euros fell on the stage of the final, which is already a regret for England, and they do not want to leave any more regrets at next year’s World Cup.

Lin Xu can become their most powerful weapon.

Migu Sports Live Room.

‘Albania’s No. 2 goalkeeper Berisha, who came on as a temporary substitute today, has actually done a very good job.

“He managed to save Lin Xu’s two wonderful shots, as well as two solo cuts from happy boy Raheem Sterling, can already be called Albanian heroes.”

“If it weren’t for Berisha’s brilliant save, the suspense of the game would have been ten.”

The clock should have ended before.

“It was Berisha who kept the Albanian team’s hopes alive until seventy minutes.”

“It’s a pity, though.”

Colonel Guan’s tone became impassioned, “When Lin Xu is present, no goalkeeper of any team can become the protagonist on the court!” ”

“Because!”

“There can only be one protagonist on the pitch!”

“That’s Lin Xu!!!”

Colonel Guan’s tone became more and more excited.

“Happy senior in a single game!”

“Lin Xu once again broke his record in the national team!”

“This is also the second senior of his career!”

“Three games, eight goals, four assists… Lin Xu only used three short games to get the data of twelve goals, such data is enough to prove! This young man who is only eighteen years old! He has become one of the best strikers in football today! ”

“Even though he is only eighteen years old, his strength and talent can be compared to Haaland and Mbappe, two peerless duos who are considered to be the next decade of football!”

“Nope!”

“Lin Xu has the potential to become a stronger striker than Haaland and Mbappe.”

“He only used three World Qualifiers to make himself worthy!”

“The giants of the five major leagues, if they want to buy Lin Xu in the transfer window next year, they may need to prepare more banknotes. The previously predicted 120 million is definitely not the end. As long as Lin Xu can maintain such a level and play, with his strength and talent, coupled with his English household register, the transfer value of next year’s summer window can at least enter the top ten in football! ”

“I want to think, who is the tenth most expensive transfer fee in football so far?”

Zhan Jun answered, “Azar.” ”

“The transfer of the king to Real Madrid should be 115 million euros?”

Guan Zeyuan asked, “I’m not mistaken. ”

Zhan Jun nodded, “Hmm. ”

“115 million euros.”

“That’s right.”

Guan Zeyuan said, “Lin Xu, isn’t this more worth it than the king of Zaqiu? Eden Hazard’s goal statistics in the season after his arrival at Real Madrid have not scored as many goals for the national team in Lin Xu’s three World Qualifiers. ”

As a Real Madrid fan, Guan Zeyuan is not satisfied with Hazard’s performance at Real Madrid.

“If you look at it this way, Petersburg really wins.”

Guan Zeyuan sighed twice, “A season’s first-team official contract can be exchanged for at least a transfer fee starting from more than 100 million, and Lin Xu’s youth training is in Petersburg, Petersburg does not have to share accounts with other teams at all, and the net profit is more than 100 million, and no team’s money is easier than Petersburg.” ”

“And according to media reports over there in England, Lin Xu didn’t even get the first salary in Petersburg.”

Zhan Jun said, “In fact, if I were Petersburg, I would keep Lin Xu for another season or two, and then release him when Petersburg was promoted to the Premier League, right, going to play in the Premier League can earn more than they earned in the Championship and League One, for the future of Petersburg, this is actually better.” ”

“But selling Lin Xu is not a bad thing.”

Guan Zeyuan said, “Even if Peterburg is brought to the Premier League by Lin Xu, it will be difficult to stay in the Premier League when Lin Xu leaves, but with Lin Xu’s transfer fee, they can buy more cost-effective Championship players, at least, Petersburg will not fall back to the League One by then.” ”

“That’s true, too.”

Zhan Jun did not refute.

Actually, they all know it.

With such a small team as Peterborough, it can only be said that it is inevitable that Lin Xu cannot be retained.

Take advantage of Lin Xu’s outstanding performance now, sell it at a high price.

In case Lin Xu’s performance is not as amazing as the first season in the future, Petersburg will not be smashed.

This 3.6 is the survival strategy of the small team.

With a transfer fee of more than 100 million, even if Petersburg sells everyone in the team except Lin Xu, it is difficult to sell so much money.

Taking Lin Xu’s transfer fee to buy some cost-effective players who have proven themselves in the Championship and can be plug-and-play is a better choice for the future sustainable development of Petersburg.

Guan Zeyuan and Zhan Jun did not talk much about this topic.

Of course, they believe that Lin Xu will not return to mediocrity after just a few bright games, but for a small team like Petersburg, it is understandable that the team does not want to take such a risk.

Moreover, as far as Lin Xu is concerned.

Whether it’s for the future, higher income, or fame, the five major leagues are his best destination.

Behind Petersburg, there is no Middle Eastern consortium or big boss who is not short of money, and the conditions they can give Lin Xu are limited.

Other giant teams can give Lin Xu a weekly salary of two or three hundred thousand, and the annual salary plus bonus given by you Petersburg is only hundreds of thousands, which is compared.

You can’t always kidnap people with feelings.

A player’s career is more than ten years.

Some of the peak periods may be two or three years, or three or four years.

Everyone wants to earn more income and have a greater fame during this period.

Don’t look at the heat of the game in Petersburg now, but if you go to the Premier League, or La Liga, in these top leagues, the heat of being Deburg is simply not enough to watch.

Besides, Lin Xu will improve faster in a better team and in a higher level of competition.

However, given that the summer window is still early.

It is not yet time for Lin Xu to choose the future.

There was not much talk about this in the live broadcast room.

Soon, Guan Zeyuan and Zhan Jun changed the topic.

“Okay, England are ready to change.”
