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

Chapter 0188 – Lin Xu and Mitrovic, the showdown between the two leading forwards!!

Lin Xu pondered for a moment.

He now has three main quests.

One is the upgraded version of the main mission one, the goal is to help Petersburg win the Championship and complete the end-of-season promotion task.

One is to represent England at next year’s World Cup in Qatar and lift the Hercules Cup.

Another is that the goal is not clear, and the main mission three of the reward is not clear, to gain the love of the fans.

So far, only 5 percent of this task has been completed.

Even Lin Xu didn’t know how this five percent was determined.

But this five percent progress bar rewards him with a fairly useful skill card, the Pei Arc, the Full Moon Scimitar, whether in terms of assists or offense, this skill card is very practical, better than some of the goal skill cards he got.

It can be seen that if this task can be finally completed, the reward is definitely very rich, but it is a pity.

Main quest three does not have a clear mission objective.

He didn’t know how to do it.

It’s just a matter of chance.

Lin Xu probably sorted out the tasks he could do at this stage.

Don’t think about the Hercules Cup for the time being, the World Cup ended yesterday, and the rest will be until the end of next year.

The warm-up matches played by the national team for the World Cup are not rewarded by drawing cards.

If you want to get the reward of the main mission two, you can only wait for next year’s World Cup main game.

Main quest three doesn’t know what the criteria are for completion, and there’s nothing to consider.

At present, all he can do is the upgraded version of the main quest.

Championship winner.

Lin Xu took a deep breath.

Take a deep breath.

The main goal now is to help St. Petersburg win the championship! Whether for the task, or his personal feelings for Petersburg.

This goal must be accomplished!

The main roadblock in front of them.

It’s the opponent in the next round of the league.

Now number one in the league in the standings… Fulham.

A big war is coming.

Back in England, we had our usual post-match replay at the St George’s Park training base.

One by one, the coaching staff pointed out the mistakes made on the pitch by the players who played in the past national team matchdays against Albania and against San Marino.

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has undoubtedly been the most criticised.

And that match in Albania.

Had it not been for Harry Maguire’s three fatal mistakes in ten minutes, with the difference between Albania and England, it would have been impossible for England to equalise after scoring first.

Southgate is still more rewarding and punishing in the team.

Those who perform poorly will be disciplined.

If you perform well, you will naturally be praised.

Lin Xu, Bellingham, Foden and Arsenal youngster Smith Rowe, who played just over half a game in two games combined, were all praised by the coaching staff.

But Southgate didn’t boast too much.

He was afraid that the players would float because of this.

A goal like the one San Marino scored on the pitch could have been avoided, but six goals relaxed the mentality of England’s players and gave the opponent a chance.

In next year’s World Cup, they will not face a casual bully opponent like San Marino.

And because of mentality, easily giving opponents the opportunity to score will only bury a good hand of cards they get.

Plus now.

England’s domestic tabloids, who have always been picky and poisonous, have also changed their style.

For the young players of the England national team led by Lin Xu, the rainbow fart blows fast and has become a puzzle commentator.

After the game, various Kwakwa groups went online directly.

What The Sun, The Mirror, Daily Mail, The Times… Whether it’s England’s big newspapers and tabloids.

As long as it’s a little related to sports.

When reporting on the national team match day, everyone was praising the current England national team, praising the captain, praising tactics, praising changes, and praising the manager and Boasting Southgate were all flustered.

They are not very strong opponents now, so they can always play so steadily.

But he was also afraid.

In case at the World Cup comes and encounters a winning team like France, Germany, etc., if England does not play like this.

These are the English media who are now praising them.

Will it be the direct reverse when the time comes.

Scold them into Xiang.

Southgate is not afraid of this.

He was worried that if something like this happened, it would affect the mentality of his own players.

The current Three Lions Legion is really young.

Being young has the benefits of being young.

Being young also has the downside of being young.

The match against Albania, which had a great lead in front of the game was equalised by the final kill, Southgate was not as unhappy as he showed in the post-match resumption.

This loss made him feel a lot more at ease.

Compared to experiencing setbacks in the World Cup main match in the future, losing one game will be eliminated directly.

In such an insignificant game, there were some setbacks for the players who had been going well.

It’s actually better.

They don’t need the title of a strong team.

Nor does it need praise from the outside world.

Being able to find problems, solve problems in a timely manner, and make steady progress in every game is the most important thing.

Southgate is also slowly changing.

In the past, he was conservative, tactical, and very conservative.

But now.

He learned to change.

St. George’s Park training base.

This post-match rematch has been going on longer than before.

After the game on the 16th, the 18th team returned to the Staffordshire training base by special plane.

Until the morning of the nineteenth.

The England national team only announced its disbandment.

The players went back to their respective teams.

Most of the players, like Foden, Saka, Bellingham…

These players, who have played almost all of their games in two consecutive games, will almost always get one game of rest when they return to their respective teams.

Although they are also the main force of the giants.

However, club managers also need to take into account the physical exhaustion of their players.

As long as the schedule is not particularly tight, it basically gives a half-time break.

But Lin Xu didn’t have time to take a break.

On the nineteenth, he returned to Petersburg.

On the afternoon of the twentieth, Petersburg hosted the current league first, Fulham has Lin Xu, Petersburg may not be able to win Fulham steadily, but without Lin Xu, the result can be imagined

Petersburg without Lin Xu will definitely not be Fulham’s opponent.

In such cases.

It is impossible for Petersburg to let Lin Xu take turns.

But the good thing.

This is the home stadium of Petersburg.

They don’t have to go to each other’s pitch in advance to step on a spot, and they don’t have to adapt to the pitch.

Lin Xu still had one day to rest.

Give the San Marino specialties you got back to your teammates.

Lin Xu went to book a driver’s license test for himself by the way.

Although England allows driving without a license, for the sake of safety, Lin Xu still plans to take the driver’s license first, and then buy a car.

Sometimes it is more convenient to have your own car.

He now lives in a dormitory.

It is because of a small team like Petersburg, where most of the players live in dormitories.

The accommodation is a little more gregarious.

In the future, moving to the top league will be different.

Peterborough was also not suitable for investing in real estate, and Perret did not see the need to buy property here, so he would only stay here for a few more months.

If I go to another team in the future, I will definitely live outside.

Then you have to drive to the training ground.

Driver’s license test appointments are fast.

On the next day off, he can go to the exam.

The nineteenth finished his personal affairs.

On the morning of the twentieth, Lin Xu returned to the last practice before the game.

Today’s game is early.

It started at half past three in the afternoon.

Early games are always annoying.

In the middle of the afternoon, the sun was shining.

There is always half a field on the playing field, and it is the second to play football in the harsh sun, and this point is when you are sleepy.

Don’t talk about the players.

Even many of the fans who entered yawned while rubbing their eyes to find a seat to sit down.

The players are even more so.

Not long after lunch, it’s time for a pre-race warm-up.

Even Lin Xu couldn’t fight a little.

“Captain”. ”

Lin Xu shook his head.

Randall’s pass to him had already flown past him.

Lin Xu patted his head.

Wake yourself up from your slumber.

Fulham’s players were just as weak as they warmed up.

No player likes an early game.

And today’s Peterborough sun is particularly dazzling.

Almost half of the London Road Stadium is shrouded in harsh light.

Even more unlucky.

The two sides guess the side.

Captain Fulham chose half of the shadow zone.

Petersburg had to attack against the sun in the first half.

“Captain, I find that you are not lucky.”

Randall still had the mind to joke.

Lin Xu touched his head, it wasn’t his fault that it wasn’t his chief.

No more.

Randall, do you think you’re lucky!

Last time I borrowed your luck and pulled out a useless skill card for me, I can still remember it!

Lin Xu silently slandered two sentences in his heart.

Thirty seconds later.

The competition officially begins.

This is the eighteenth round of the Championship.

Today is a weekend.

So although it was a less popular morning game, because of the strong conversation between Petersburg and Fulham, the number of fans in attendance was still large.

The venue of 15,000 people was almost empty.

“The number of fans wearing Lin Xu’s jersey at the scene is really large!”

Migu Sports Live Broadcast Room.

Colonel Guan sighed. More than 10,000 people were on site. The director’s footage swept past.

Aerial footage.

Fans will turn around and show the camera the number of their jerseys on their backs.

Look at the past.

Almost all of them are Lin Xu’s No. 48 jerseys.

Zhan Jun is not surprised, “According to the Sun’s revelations, in the past two months and almost three months, more than ninety percent of the jerseys sold by Peterborough are Lin Xu’s jerseys, and Lin Xu’s away jersey sales have even exceeded the sales of the entire team’s jerseys.” ”

“He does have a lot of fans personally.”

“And this is still in Peterborough’s other starters, now gradually have popularity, popularity is slowly rising, Lin Xu’s jersey sales, can still occupy more than ninety percent of Peterborough jersey sales.”

“That’s enough to say about his popularity. It’s not surprising. ”

Lin Xu has the markets of Dragon Country and England behind him.

The purchasing power of Dragon Kingdom fans is already very strong.

“Petersburg’s current Dragon Kingdom market is also doing very well…”

Petersburg’s team manager Barry Frye is tough on the door, but he has no shortage of business acumen.

After realizing Lin Xu’s commercial value.

Barry Fry quickly set up a Chinese team dedicated to operating the market on the Dragon Kingdom, they have their own official account on the meager one, every official news of Petersburg, as long as it is posted on Twitter, meager will definitely be synchronized with Chinese to post it again.

The content is exactly the same.

What is posted on Twitter, what is posted on the meager one.

Barry Fry will also ask the players to talk to Lin Xu about some simple Chinese. On a daily basis, I often post some videos of the players using Chinese to say blessings and so on.

Although in the eyes of many people, these are just trivial things.

But there are not many football clubs that can operate the Longguo market with such heart.

Just for this intention of Petersburg.

There are also many Dragon Kingdom fans who are willing to pay.

Coupled with Lin Xu’s personal influence in England, he is now no weaker than some of England’s legendary supergiants, and his jersey sales are good, which can only be said to be a very normal thing.

“Back to business.”

Looking at the court, the referee on duty had already sounded the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the colonel also stopped the pre-match chatter.

Instead, he started talking about the game.

“Petersburg’s opponent Fulham today can be regarded as a league lift.”

Fulham only promoted to the top flight for the first time in 1949.

But by the sixties of the last century, Fulham began to move to the second and third divisions, playing in the lower leagues for thirty years.

It was not until the beginning of the century that the wealthy Egyptian merchant Afayaz came to power.

Fulham were promoted to the Premier League.

But in the 2013-2014 season, Fulham were in relegation crisis

In the 2017-2018 season, Fulham played twice in the Championship

The thirteen-game unbeaten record would have had a chance to get the top two and directly promoted, but in the final league game, they lost to Birmingham.

However, they still beat Aston Villa in the promotion play-offs that season and returned to the Premier League.

However.

The following year, Fulham fell into the relegation zone again.

Even if they brought in Master Ranieli, who had led Leicester City to the miracle of winning the promotion horse, they still had nothing to do.

“Fulham, who failed relegation in 2018-2019, returned to the Premier League in 2019-2020.”

Colonel Guan said skillfully.

‘They also beat Reds Liverpool in the last season, but with just two wins in nineteen league games in the first half of the season, it will be difficult for them to turn around in the second half of the season.

‘Fulham were relegated again after being promoted to the Premier League.

‘And this season in the Championship, Fulham have put in a dominant performance, seventeen league games, 14 wins, the remaining three games, two draws and one defeat, from the beginning of the season until now, have been stable in the first place in the league.”

‘If nothing else, they should be able to secure a promotion place this season and get back to the Premier League.’

“In the last eight seasons, three promotions and three relegations.”

“A veritable league lift.”

Zhan Jun also answered, “In fact, Fulham’s state is also somewhat related to the state of their leading striker Mitrovic. ”

‘Mitrovic’s move from Newcastle to Fulham for 24 million in ’18 is not a low fee, but his performance, to be honest, is not very good.

‘In 2018-2019 he scored 11 goals in 37 Premier League games, and if that’s barely enough, the stats of just three Premier League goals at Fulham last season speak for themselves.

“The form of the Serbian striker.”

“It’s very unstable.”

“It’s good when it’s good, and it’s really bad when it’s bad.”

‘But he’s played very well in the Championship this season.’

“Seventeen Championship games, fourteen goals.”

“Without Lin Xu, Mitrovic’s data would have basically been able to book this season’s League Golden Boot in advance.”

“It’s a pity, though.”

“No matter how good Mitrovic’s data is, it is far from comparable to Lin Xu.”

Colonel Guan laughed.

“So today’s game, there are ten big highlights!”

“Lin Xu and Mitrovic, the confrontation between the two leading strikers of the two teams.”

“This should be the scene that many fans have been looking forward to.”
