Football: Rejected by the national football team, I will fly to England

Chapter 0172 – Elevator Ball! Magnus Effect!!

On the pitch, Arsenal youngster Smith Rowe, who scored the first goal for the national team in his first start and opened the scoring in this game, was particularly excited.

After scoring the goal, Smith Rowe strode towards Lin Xu.

Arsenal’s new No. 10, who was only twenty-one years old, hugged the black-haired young man wearing the captain’s armband and a smile on his face in front of him.

Both had big smiles on their faces.

He was then pressed under by his teammates who followed behind.

The celebration of England’s players echoed the loud celebration at the San Marino National Stadium.

Smith Rowe shouted ‘thank you’ in Lin Xu’s ear.

Smith Rowe knew it well.

This ball was Lin Xu’s selfless assist, which gave him the opportunity to push the empty goal in front of the goal.

In that position just now, in fact, Lin Xu can completely hit the door by himself.

England is no longer the same England.

Although Southgate did not say it explicitly.

But everyone can understand one thing from the tactical arrangement of the English young marshal, that is, Lin Xu has unlimited fire rights.

The core of England’s tactics now is Lin Xu.

The players’ main tactic on the field is to give the ball to Lin Xu.

What 433 formation, 343 formation does not matter.

One of the things they have to do is to do everything they can to pass the ball to Lin Xu’s feet when Lin Xu is on the field.

As long as the ball reaches Lin Xu’s feet.

England will certainly be able to attack effectively.

This is a consensus that Southgate does not say, and everyone in the team can reach in their hearts.

When Lin Xu first joined the team, there were some international players in the team who thought that although Lin Xu’s shooting skills in front of the goal were okay, his basic skills were too poor and he was completely unqualified to become a member of the England national team.

Yet now.

After three World Qualifiers.

After a confrontation with Hungary.

After the last Albanian tenacious match.

Lin Xu has fully proved one thing with his data on the field.

That is, he may not be one of the best basic players in English football, but he must be the England national team, the most needed and suitable striker for the Three Lions.

There is no one.

Even the balanced data of former captain Harry Kane is far from being comparable to Lin Xu.

Now 16 in the England team, no one in the old scripture disagrees with Lin Xu.

Even if Lin Xu’s club is only a championship team, everyone sincerely recognizes this young, only eighteen-year-old national team captain in the game.

There is no need for Southgate to say more.

As long as Lin Xu is still on the court.

The players will consciously try to pass the ball to Lin Xu.

Arnold’s ball just now was also directed at Lin Xu.

In fact, Foden is also in a position where he can pass.

But Arnold’s first choice was given to Lin Xu.

No one will feel that this is something wrong.

Foden ran into position, did not receive the pass, and did not think there was anything wrong with what Arnold did.

Because everyone in the team knows that passing to Lin Xu is a greater threat to the goal.

Lin Xu’s shot will give England a greater confidence in getting the ball.

This made Smith Rowe even more moved.

This ball just now, Lin Xu can play by himself.

Not to mention that Lin Xu has the highest goal conversion rate in the team, today’s opponent San Marino is the penultimate fishbelly team in the world’s football, even if there is interference from the opposing defender and goalkeeper, in the position just now, Lin Xu’s chance of scoring is at least 780% or more.

Even if he couldn’t get in, no one would blame Lin Xu.

But Lin Xu passed the ball to him.

Smith Rowe knows that it is because he started for the first time today and has not yet scored a goal in the national team, so Lin Xu will pass the ball to him.

“Captain, thank you!”

After the whole team got up from the ground after the celebration, Smith Rowe hugged Lin Xu again.

Lin Xu patted Smith Rowe’s shoulder, smiled, didn’t say more, just said calmly, “Come on.” ”

Smith Rowe nodded movingly.

Lin Xu said cheers, and Smith Rowe was as excited as if he had received praise from the manager.

Migu Sports Live Broadcast Room.

Colonel Guan looked at this scene on the court and sighed, “I think this may be the reason why we always ignore Lin Xu’s age.” ”

‘He’s really mature on the pitch.’

“yes.”

Zhan Jun nodded.

“In fact, Smith Rowe, who was called up to the national team for the first time this month, and today is only his first start, is three years older than Lin Xu’s captain of the national team…”

“Smith Rowe was born in 2000, the same age as Foden, and Lin Xu was born in 2003.”

“But we will think that Smith Luo is still a young player, but for Lin Xu, we will not think so, Lin Xu’s ball style and aura are too mature, if it is not for the appearance of a little green, many people may think that he is already twenty-six seven.”

Colonel Guan snorted, “That’s right. ”

Immediately, he looked at Zhan Jun and said, “However, Teacher Zhan Jun, don’t you think that Bellingham also looks far more mature than his age?” Bellingham’s style of play does not look at all like the young player born in 03, England has these two eighteen-year-olds, but what a blessing! ”

To Colonel Guan’s words, Zhan Jun agreed, “This is, Bellingham is very decisive in handling the ball in the middle, whether it is offensive or defensive, far beyond his peers I think, by next year, after the World Cup, these two also eighteen-year-old English twins, I am afraid that their worth will be terrifyingly high.” ”

“England is so lucky.”

“This is the real storm of youth.”

When I was still sighing in the live broadcast room.

Scoring has been scored again on the pitch.

Bellingham made a tackle against San Marino midfielder Lunard in the middle, and the following defender Mins poked the ball forward from behind.

Phillips’ right foot was light, and Saka on the wing got the ball, straightened his instep, kicked the football fiercely, and then the whole person rushed up.

The opposing San Marino midfielder Tomasi has exhausted all his strength and has not been able to catch up with Saka’s speed.

He was soon left far behind by Saka who was running with the ball.

Tomasi is not alone.

In addition, Lunard and Murachini, who were desperately defending in the middle, also failed to keep up with Saka, who was running at full strength, and was thrown away several positions in a few breaths.

Despite the San Marino’s players trying hard to intercept Saka with the ball, the gap between amateur players and professional players in the top flight is still very clear.

To the roar of the fans.

Saka ran faster and faster.

The San Marino midfielders didn’t even have time to make a foul move, just watching Saka arc from near the centre circle and bring the ball all the way into their box.

Then he kicked straight and handed the ball to Smith Rowe in front.

Smith Rowe started for the first time today and was still a little nervous

I am afraid that my performance today is not good enough, and I will never have the opportunity to be called up by the national team later.

It would have been.

After England’s current midfield has Lin Xu, there is not much shortage of people.

Even Kane could only sit on the bench.

Saka, Sterling, Foden and Sancho can all play on the left and right and the competition is fierce.

Smith Rowe played in the middle of the club, and the England national team was even more overcrowded.

Twin stars Rice, Mount, Ward Prowth, Henderson, and now a new Dort rising star Bellingham, plus Foden and others who can return to the middle to organize.

Although Smith Rowe holds the number 10 shirt at Arsenal, it can be said that it is even more difficult to compete for a playmaker position in the middle of the national team.

In these two World Qualifiers, if it weren’t for Rice, Mount and Ward Prows who couldn’t be selected for various reasons such as injuries, Southgate probably wouldn’t have thought of calling him up.

In his last match against Albania, Smith Rowe made his international debut.

But it was already seventy minutes when he came on.

It’s only about twenty minutes before the end of the game.

And Albania played very hard, until the end of the game, Smith Rowe did not get any opportunities to express themselves, nor did he play any assists and goals.

Instead, Albania completed the final minute of the game, losing the three points they had and only getting a draw.

Such a debut performance is not good.

Smith Rowe also had a post-game rating of less than 6 points in his last game.

Today is the last World Qualifiers.

Although there is still nearly a year to go before next year’s World Cup main match, there are no official competitions for them to train.

At most, in next year’s offseason, there will be two warm-up games.

But when the likes of Rice and Mount return to the national team, Smith Rowe has fewer chances.

He still wants to get a place in the World Cup squad.

So in this rare game, Smith Rowe looked particularly nervous before the start of the game.

But less than three minutes into the opening game, Lin Xu gave him an assist to score the first goal of England today, and the first goal of his national team career, giving him a good start to this start.

In this way, Smith Rowe’s nervousness suddenly dissipated and he was about thirty yards away from the goal.

Coming up to defend him was San Marino’s captain, Battistini.

Smith Rowe faced Batistini, calmly continued to take the ball forward a few steps, observed Lin Xu’s position, and then picked the ball over the head of the San Marino captain with a half-height pick.

Himself turned around, caught the ball, and knocked.

“Rainbow over!”

In the live broadcast room.

The voices of the commentators were excited.

“Smith Rowe used a beautiful rainbow pass and went up to defend his San Marino captain Battistini!! This is very beautiful! It seems that Lin Xu’s opening assist just now made Smith Rowe play confidently! ”

“To be able to wear the number 10 shirt at Arsenal, Smith Rowe still has some skills!”

“This is so exciting!”

“Battistini didn’t expect Smith Rowe to use such a fancy passing way to pass him, he was stunned for a moment, which gave Smith Rowe the opportunity to pass the ball, cross!”

“Smith Rowe reciprocates! Chose to knock the ball crossed to Lin Xu in the middle of the small penalty area! ”

“There are two defensive players in front of Lin Xu, No. 16 Fabry and No. 6 Rosie, these two people are very close to Lin Xu! But Smith Rowe’s ball was very accurate and in place! ”

“The football passed by Fabry’s side!”

“Lin Xu received the ball!”

“He’s not far from the outside of the penalty area! This position is within Lin Xu’s range! Lin Xu had scored a wonderful full-moon scimitar shot in this position before! ”

“…… Uh,” Guan Zeyuan’s tone paused, “Lin Xu did not choose to hit the goal directly, but was dribbling the ball forward, it seems that he still wants to take the ball to a more comfortable small penalty area to hit the goal.” ”

“Fabry and Rossi are trying to intercept him.”

“San Marino’s defenders carried their hands behind their backs and wanted to poke Lin Xu’s ball with their toes, but they couldn’t succeed, the ball was still at Lin Xu’s feet, and Lin Xu’s dribbling and ball control skills were indeed much better than two months ago!”

Lin Xu concentrated on dribbling the ball forward.

If the opposite side is a more powerful opponent, even Albania in the last game, Lin Xu may not choose to dribble forward.

But this time the opponent is San Marino, who is ranked last in international football.

Not to belittle San Marino.

It’s San Marino’s level here.

If England can even lose San Marino.

That’s not all about upset.

It doesn’t matter if it is leveled by Albania, Albania’s tenacity deserves the admiration of all 713 people.

But if San Marino, who is last in football and can’t even make up eleven professional players in the team, wins, or is a draw, Southgate may not be able to wait for next year’s World Cup, and will be able to leave class directly after the game.

They are worth a lot to play San Marino to be a big win.

After all, more than half of the other side are not official professional players.

However, Lin Xu was not nervous because he had to win a big score.

It is rare to have an opponent with a relatively large difference in strength.

He wanted to hone his dribbling and ball handling skills in this game, with two defensive defenders just one step away from him.

Lin Xu held his breath.

All sounds from the scene are blocked.

All he saw was the white-orange football.

I saw that he stopped the ball without hurry, dialed from right foot to left foot, and then from left foot to right foot.

Pass the defense, and then run with all your might.

Amid the shouts of the fans at the scene, Lin Xu got closer and closer to the goal.

Twenty-five yards.

Twenty-two yards.

Twenty yards.

……

Until entering the small restricted area.

Seeing that the opposing goalkeeper has made a ready save.

Lin Xucai called the system in his mind.

[Small forbidden area shooting full level card activation! ] 】

Then, in the retraction package defense of Fabry and Rossi, the instep suddenly straightened and kicked the football, which rotated and went to the far corner of the goal.

In front of the goal.

San Marino goalkeeper Berdetini has reacted quite quickly.

The San Marino international has been focused since conceding the goal.

After Smith Rowe passed the ball to Lin Xu, Berdetini’s eyes kept staring at Lin Xu, and the moment he saw Lin Xu’s foot shooting, Berdetini also pounced on his right side at the same time.

He judged that Lin Xu’s ball hit the half-height position of the goal.

Therefore, Berdetini’s whole person also rushed towards that height.

He threw almost his entire body out.

Only to pounce half-high.

But he didn’t save the ball.

The football did not fly by the trajectory that Berdetini had envisioned.

Berdetini: “! ”

The San Marino goalkeeper turned his head in mid-air with difficulty, only to see that football was more than just an arc.

The white-orange football curved out of the arc as if it had encountered a swirling air flow in the air.

Up and down.

Left and right.

Erratic flight in the air.

Finally, in the moment before reaching the goal.

Suddenly!

With a sharp fall!

In front of the eyes of San Marino! Straight into the goal!

“Elevator ball!”

“Magnus effect!”

In the live broadcast room.

Zhan Jun and Senior Colonel Guan shouted two different names at the same time.

The two looked at each other the same.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes…
