Chapter 022
The reason why English fans are watching this Championship game today.
One is because BBC Sports used Saturday primetime to broadcast the game live, and the two sides are two Championship teams, which is not often a treat.
Another is also because I heard that Steve Holland, assistant coach of the England national team, personally went to the game to watch the game.
Although fans are not interested in who loses and wins between Petersburg and Birmingham.
But allowing the BBC to broadcast live in prime time, allowing Ned, the ace commentator, to play, and allowing Holland to make a special trip to the game.
Even if it’s not their home team.
It’s still worth sitting in front of the TV and taking a look.
But let’s be honest.
At one point, they doubted their actions.
The first thirty-five minutes of the game.
Except for the two goals in the opening game, the whole process seemed dull.
After all, the strength of the two teams is there.
The level of Championship players cannot suddenly get a qualitative leap because of the sudden surge in attention.
It’s not comparable to the Premier League games they often watch.
The players also have a high error rate on the field.
In the eyes of fans who are accustomed to watching top league matches, the competition between the two Championship teams is simply like a game organized between the community to consume after dinner, and the dishes are not interesting.
Even.
Before Peterborough’s equaliser to complete the comeback, these English fans who watched the game were skeptical.
Steve Holland goes to the scene.
Could it be that you just want to watch the game?
Didn’t you say that the manager of Petersburg is Sir Alex Ferguson’s son?
Maybe.
Mr. Holland went to the scene in support of Mr. Ferguson Jr.?
And not to see which player is on the field.
It’s true.
At the level of these people –
Is it worth a trip by the assistant coach of the national team?
Twenty-two people on the field….
It’s impossible to carry it to the national team.
Even Edwards, the talented defender that Manchester United wants, is now far from reaching the level of entry into the national team in the eyes of the usual discerning fans.
To know.
The current Three Lions Legion is not the time to train newcomers.
Every game they play at this stage is to prepare for next year’s World Cup.
And at the beginning of the commentary, it was said that Lin Xu had English nationality.
The fans just gave Lin Xu two more points of attention.
It would have been.
Is England lacking stars?
There has never been a shortage of them.
Not to mention David Beckham, who came out of the distant Class of 92 and is still active in the fashion circle, or former captain Wayne Rooney, who has begun to transform into a coach.
These are the ones that are popular now.
Kane, Sterling, Mount, Foden, Sancho….
These Three Lions internationals.
Which is not the top team that plays in the five major leagues, starts from tens of millions, and becomes famous in football early.
Compared to them.
What is Lin Xu, a substitute striker in the youth team who has not yet played the main role in Peterborough United.
Fans are more interested in Lin Xu because of the gossip that he was banned by the Dragon Country Football Association.
Until Petersburg equalised.
Lin Xu conceded a penalty, which increased the fans’ favorability towards him a lot.
And then to the second half.
Under the leadership of Lin Xu, Peterburg really showed strong cohesion and offensive ability, and Birmingham who originally suppressed them were unable to fight back.
1v3 crotch break in the small penalty area.
A low flat ball volley in front of goal.
And that zero-angle shot that wowed everyone.
Four goals plus points in a single game.
If it is just such a data from the Championship, it is naturally not enough to impress the fans.
Goals are also scored on occasions.
Even just a goal in the World Cup is worth a thousand dollars.
But the goal of the Championship can be greatly reduced.
Fans don’t just look at data.
There is also Lin Xu’s personal ability in this data.
His sense of smell in front of goal, his almost inexplicable movement, and his 100 per cent conversion rate in the game.
As long as everyone who has watched the whole game knows that Birmingham have put a lot of effort into Lin Xu’s defense.
Birmingham captain Dean basically followed Lin Xu’s butt for the entire game, and when Lin Xu ran in position, there were at least two or three people around him to defend the bag.
But there is no way to prevent it.
And Lin Xu is not deliberately pursuing data.
The two goals of Peterborough winger Kanu today can be said to have been given to him by Lin Xu.
A penalty, and a missed ball, Lin Xu can completely play by himself.
If he wants to play, with his foot feel today, he can complete the goal.
But he didn’t.
He left more opportunities to his teammates.
Instead of blindly showing off.
As narrated Ned said.
A humble and talented player.
Lin Xu’s personality on the field is still very mature and stable, and he is not as young as his appearance at all.
When the team is behind, you can stand up to help the team open the situation, and when there is a conflict on the field, you will stop impulsive teammates like the captain to communicate with the referee.
Lin Xu also has a big heart.
Whether it was when Petersburg scored two goals in a row in the opening game, or when he returned a crushing defeat to Birmingham City 7-2 in the end, Lin Xu was the most calm one on the field.
Isn’t this the player they need most in England!
If Lin Xu can continue to show such a stable shooting and running position in the future, then they won’t have to watch happy boy Sterling’s happy football every game!
Mr. Holland must have come to see Lin Xu!
No.
Mr. Holland must have come to see Lin Xu!
England fans were thrilled.
What is the explanation just now.
Lin Xu was banned by the Dragon Country Football Association, right!
The Dragon Country Football Association blocked well!
If it weren’t for the Dragon Country Football Association blocking Lin Xu, they might have lost a young genius.
Thank you Dragon Country Football Association!
England need a World trophy too much to prove themselves.
They don’t lack stars, they don’t lack famous managers.
The Three Lions Legion is worth the first in the world, but it can’t get rid of the name of the soft-footed shrimp competition.
King of the qualifiers.
Three Meow Legion.
People around the world have never stopped mocking England’s performance at the world’s competition.
Over the years, although the Premier League has gradually surpassed La Liga in terms of spectaclement and attractiveness, England is still weak.
With the exception of a World Cup title on their doorstep in 1966, the Three Lions have never lifted the Hercules Cup in the years since.
This year’s European Championship runners-up are already their best record in a world-class competition in recent years.
But the people of England are not satisfied with this.
No one will remember the runner-up.
Everyone will only remember where the champion belongs.
World Cup qualifiers have already begun, and Southgate is already preparing for next year’s World Cup.
To see a new talent emerge at this time is undoubtedly an exciting thing for England fans.
And when no one noticed.
Steve Holland quietly left.
