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

Chapter 0187 – Champion of the Championship! He has to take!!

Happy celebration after the end.

The England team spent a day in San Marino.

Southgate gave the players a collective holiday.

The recent game between club and country has been going on a spin-off, and the England internationals, who have mostly played for the big teams in the top leagues, are feeling deeply tired.

They are different from Lin Xu.

Petersburg now has Lin Xu, there are few opponents in the Championship that can compete with them, except for Fulham, who will meet in the next round, even the top few in the standings, Petersburg has played relatively easily

Lin Xu only played a full game once in the national team.

His physical exertion is not great.

The rest of the team is different.

The Premier League is notoriously confrontational.

And the Premier League is not like La Liga, one of the five major leagues, or the Bundesliga, the strong teams are fixed Real Saren three, the annual championship is basically the first two or three teams in the competition, the Bundesliga championship is basically no suspense.

Bayern’s salad plate doesn’t know how many times I’ve taken it.

There is not that much difference in strength between teams in the Premier League.

One is because the broadcast fees that teams get every season are almost the same.

Even if it’s a championship, and the bottom one.

There is not much money in between.

In addition, many Premier League teams are now funded and acquired by financial owners from various countries.

This leads to.

Even for teams that are lower in the Premier League.

At the time of the annual transfer window opens.

They are also able to invest a considerable amount of money.

To attract and reinforce.

In the Premier League, the suspense of the season champions and the top six is the greatest.

Even the recognized big6 can be defeated by the bottom team at any time.

Now the new season has gone through more than ten rounds.

The first half of the season was the crucial time.

And the national team match day, so that those big teams with a lot of international players in the team, the combat effectiveness is reduced.

It’s good that the players are in England.

England’s home stadium is in London and its training base is in Staffordshire.

When it’s home games, you don’t have to run too far.

When it’s away, it often goes back and forth in one or two days.

But if you have some South American players in the team, that’s troublesome.

Like Argentina, Uruguay, and so on.

International players from these 28 countries.

Every time it comes to the national team match day, I have to travel back and forth for more than ten or twenty hours just on the road.

Jet lag, races, back and forth.

Mess down.

It’s not just a little delay.

Even if it’s only the World Qualifiers now.

The physical drain is also huge.

The bigger the team, the more internationals there are in the team.

Coaches of big clubs often hate the national team match day in the middle of the season.

They can’t refuse the players to return to their home countries and play as hard as they can for their country.

It is also necessary to worry all the time that the players will have some unexpected injuries due to the national team matches.

After all, players who can go to the national team.

It is often the main players in the club.

Everything that happens on the national team’s match day will become a variable for the big teams to compete for league titles and European places.

Compared to other national teams.

England’s two World Qualifiers can be said to have ended quite perfectly.

No one was hurt.

The game was won beautifully.

The managers of the team, who have England internationals in their squad, are relieved.

The major media in England also gave the highest level of praise and praise to this youth storm under Southgate.

In this case.

Southgate doesn’t mind giving his players a little time to relax.

He knew, waiting to get back from the national team.

These players are about to get back into a tight schedule.

Therefore.

Southgate let the plane stay in England for an extra day.

These young players were given a day off.

It’s also a bit of relaxation.

Sterling, they went out together to find something to eat.

Lin Xu refused their invitation and chose to travel alone.

It was also his first time in San Marino.

For a long time in the past.

Because there has been no consistent playing time, and there is no stable team, Lin Xu has been training most of the time.

Non-stop training.

Before going to Petersburg, it was so.

After the daily team practice.

He will also stay on the training ground and practice on his own.

After going to Petersburg, although there is a stable team, but because he has not been able to get stable playing time, Lin Xu will still train hard and want to make greater progress.

This gives him little free time to hang out.

He rarely travels.

There are also few vacations.

Whenever the team is on vacation, he will go to find a training ground on his own and practice his basics.

Traveling is actually a bit strange to him.

Now he is much less stressed.

No more worrying about being kicked out of the team at any time, and no more worrying about not playing a chance.

Lin Xu will choose to go out and walk around when Southgate said that he could be free for a day.

He Googled local tourist attractions in San Marino.

Guaita Fortress, San Marino Cathedral, Titano Hill… Let’s be honest.

San Marino is really small.

It didn’t take him too long to visit all these attractions.

However, a country with a total population of only 30,000 people is not much bigger.

Lin Xu almost circled a few famous spots, bought some wines and cheeses that were said to be more famous in the area, and planned to take them back to his teammates in Petersburg.

Then I plan to go back to the hotel.

England will take a special flight tonight back to the St George’s Park training base before disbanding itself.

But here’s the interesting thing.

When Lin Xu walked the streets of San Marino, people here seemed to know him.

It’s like when he first went to the St George’s Park training base, those England fans on the road and at the gate of the base.

The people of San Marino were also pleasantly surprised to see him.

“Hey, can I ask you for a group photo?”

“Can you sign my name, it’s on my clothes!”

“I bought your Petersburg jersey! Number 48! Lin Xu! You are my idol! ”

Words like that.

Lin Xu heard a lot on the streets of San Marino.

People here don’t mind at all, Lin Xu alone poured them seven goals in yesterday’s game, giving San Marino a crushing defeat on the score.

Instead, it’s like seeing some big star.

He showed friendly goodwill towards Lin Xu.

Children playing soccer on the street would invite him to play soccer together.

Lin Xu does feel the joy brought by pure football in this country.

After the game last night, he also logged on Twitter and saw more than a dozen consecutive tweets of celebration from San Marino officials that shocked English fans.

People in this country really enjoy football.

However, after a few words, some locals enthusiastically told him that the things he bought were not authentic, and generally only tourists from other places went to buy them.

Lin Xu: “…”

Sure enough, no matter which country, the things sold near the scenic spots are used to slaughter tourists.

According to the recommendation of the locals, after buying some authentic San Marino specialties again, Lin Xu returned to the hotel where the team stayed for the past two days.

Forde and Grealish didn’t hang out.

They have been to San Marino and Italy more than once, and have no desire to explore this area.

It’s daytime again and there are no nightclubs.

The nightclub squad has little interest in going out.

After the game, Southgate usually doesn’t control their drinking.

The two were simply in the hotel, let the hotel chef bake some beef, with some champagne, and enjoyed it in the hotel restaurant.

When Lin Xu came back.

Grealish’s face turned red.

“Captain!”

As soon as Grealish saw Lin Xu, he came over with a grin.

Handing over a glass of wine.

Shaking his head and body, “Come, you drink too!” ”

Lin Xu: “…”

“How much did you drink?”

He asked Foden.

Foden looked quite sober, “I didn’t drink much, just two bottles of champagne.” ”

Lin Xu pressed his temple with a little headache.

Drinking alcohol is not a good habit.

These two.

Just as he was about to let people withdraw the wine, Grealish had already put his arm around Lin Xu’s shoulder with a grin, “Captain, you tell me the truth!” ”

Lin Xu: “Huh? ”

“Are you on good terms with us, or with Jayden?”

Jayden is Sancho’s name.

Lin Xu glanced at Grealish.

Is this really too much to drink?

But Grealish didn’t look drunk, just blushed a little.

“Why do you ask this?”

Lin Xu said.

On relationships.

He definitely has a better relationship with the Manchester City group.

Although on the pitch, he works well with everyone in the England squad.

Privately, they also get along harmoniously.

But these guys at Manchester City started taking care of him as soon as he entered the national team.

Lin Xu is a person who knows how to be grateful and also values feelings. However, some words do not need to be said explicitly.

He is now captain.

Small groups within a team can be detrimental to unity.

Jayden said!”

“Say you’re more likely to go to Manchester United!”

“It won’t.”

Grealish huffed, “The sky in Manchester is blue!” ”

Lin Xu understood when he heard this.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the media about his future transfer.

Although no one in the team asked him, they were probably guessing where he might go.

Take the father-son relationship between Petersburg coach Darren and Alex Ferguson.

It would be fair to think that he is more likely to go to Manchester United.

But.

Things for next season.

It’s still early.

Lin Xu didn’t answer, just smiled and waved his hand, “Okay, you two drink less, turn back and let Mr. see it, and you’re going to be trained again.” ”

In fact, there are now many wealthy people who are secretly testing his meaning.

There were quite a few people who found his agent, Perret.

And yes.

Even found his father, Lin Jianye. However, Lin Xu really did not think about this. He now just wants Petersburg to be relegated.

Preferably, to be able to achieve another championship indicator.

Petersburg has not won a championship since its inception.

There are no leagues, cups, at any level, and the team’s trophy showroom is still empty.

Lin Xu likes Peterborough very much, although he will not stay there forever, he hopes to help this team and get better results while he is still there.

They don’t have a cup to play.

The only thing that can be fought for is the Championship title.

As for the transfer.

Lin Xu really didn’t have any idea about where to go.

He played better with the Manchester City faction in the English team, and Foden had always hoped that he could go to Manchester City, but Lin Xu knew that Manchester City manager Ola had plans to buy Haaland.

Perret is Pep Guardiola’s younger brother and his agent.

While chatting with him, Perret also gave him some inside information that he knew.

So Lin Xu knows this.

Going to Manchester City is good, teammates are familiar, the manager and himself are an agent, Manchester City are also very rich, do not worry about his transfer fee and high salary.

But if Manchester City don’t target him as their first target.

Instead, he and Haaland were included as part of the signings program.

Then I’m afraid Lin Xu won’t choose Manchester City.

What he needs is a team that has him as their only goal.

A team that can give him all his trust.

He is certainly not afraid of competition.

Even if he goes to the same club as Haaland, Lin Xu is fully sure that he can compete with the Norwegian.

He has a system.

This is the biggest bug.

He just wanted a team that, like Petersburg, believed in him and gave him a core position without reservation.

It also depends on the sincerity of those teams in the transfer period.

It’s too early to think about that.

The current task is to lead Petersburg to a better result.

【Ding! 】

Lin Xugang finished thinking so.

The electronic tone of the system suddenly sounded in 617’s head.

[Host wish detected. 】

[Main quest 1: Complete the upgrade.] Lin Xu’s eyes narrowed.

“Main quest upgrade?”

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The electronic tone of the system continues to be steady.

[Upgraded version of the main mission 1: Help Peterborough United, achieve the first place in the league, and successfully promote the Premier League. ] 】

[Mission reward: For every victory you get with the team, you will be rewarded with 3 attribute points, and 10,000 points will be awarded to the mall. ] Win the league championship and reward the mall with 500,000 contribution points. 】

Ooh!

Lin Xu noticed a half a million! 500,000 mall contribution points!

One goal and one assist can be redeemed for a thousand Marketplace contribution points.

Five hundred thousand…

That means five hundred goals plus assists.

That’s a bit of a bonus!

While half a million contribution points can’t afford the character template he craves most, it’s enough to buy a goal card like Bell’s overtaking in corners.

And for every game you win, you can also save 10,000 contribution points.

Save up this season in the Championship.

Maybe he can hope to save up a relatively cheap character template? And if you don’t redeem the most expensive character template in the store.

He can buy so much more.

This is much more cost-effective than the original main quest one! The only pity.

Now, the number of attribute points for each win has been reduced from 5 to 3.

However, there are rewards for contribution points from the mall.

The reward for attribute points is reduced a little, but it is also within the acceptable range.

His previous development task was to score twenty goals in official matches and sign a formal player contract, which was completed long after the game against Bournemouth.

After completion, the system rewards him with a steal bronze-level basic skill.

Passive triggering.

Only when defending the opponent has a certain chance of triggering a successful steal.

It’s a bit of a chicken skill.

After all, Lin Xu, as the center of the club and the national team, the core of the striker, has no task of returning to defense, and there is no opportunity to defend.

Compared to this chicken rib growth task.

You can see how generous the rewards of the upgraded version of the main quest 1 are.

And he scored goals and assists every game, which can be redeemed for contribution points.

Come down like this.

If you win the league.

Plus the contribution points awarded for the number of games won, and his own goal assists are exchanged.

Save up.

Before moving next year.

It may really be possible for him to redeem a character template.

That’s really cool.

If only I could redeem a Suarez character template… Lin Xu swallowed his saliva.

Unconsciously clenched his fists.

The whole body is full of fighting spirit!

If he only thought that it was best and the worst to compete for the championship, and he could successfully complete the relegation.

Right now.

Lin Xu’s mind has completely changed.

Championship Champion!

He has to take it!
