Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 116 The Call of the England Team (1)

At the Wolverhampton club, Jose Moxie and Mark David were still worried about whether Wang Li had no ball to play and whether his state would decline, but they received a letter from the FA fax.

"Due to Alan Wang's outstanding performance in the Premier League, Wolverhampton striker Alan Wang is hereby recruited to join the England team and report to Wembley Stadium before NO.13 in May!"

'Wang Li was selected for the England national team! '

The news made the two of them stare at each other for a long time, before smiling happily.

Historically, the Wolverhampton team only played an England international in 1963, and Wang Li's selection this time will definitely be recorded in the history of the Wolverhampton team!Besides, as long as Wang Li performs well in the European Cup, his worth will definitely increase significantly. For Jose Moxie, the news of Wang Li being selected for the national team is like a pile of money rushing him. Get excited!
"This kid is really competitive. It would be great if he could stay in Wolverhampton. Jose, do you think it is possible for us to keep him next season?" Mark held the fax in his hand, his face A rather reluctant expression flashed across his face, and he asked a little anxiously.

Hearing Mark's question, Jose smiled wryly, "Mark, it's not that I don't want him to stay, but it's impossible for the team to keep him. Even if you keep him for one year, what about the next year? Wolverhampton will never be able to keep this kind of talent!"

Mark also sighed, then took out the cigar on the table and smoked it alone.As a loyal Wolverhampton fan, Mark David is very concerned about the team, and he does not want to sell such an outstanding player during the summer transfer period, but for the sake of the club, even if he is scolded by the fans, he I have to make this decision in advance, maybe this is the sadness of being the chairman of a team!
…………

This afternoon, after the club's daily training, Wang Li walked along Hall Street towards a large supermarket.Since he came to live in the club, he seldom takes a taxi for such a distance of 2000 or [-] meters. He enjoys walking along the road while admiring the scenery of Wolverhampton. Such a relaxed feeling.

Recently, more and more fans have greeted him. Even the cashiers in the supermarket and the policemen on the side of the road are very friendly when they talk to him. There are also many young people who ask him for autographs. Yes, many beautiful female fans often wink at him, which makes him a little bit unable to stop. However, since having Angela, his tolerance for such things has increased a lot, which makes him still retain Being a virgin, although this is not something to brag about.

In Wolverhampton City, he has become the most popular footballer among the fans and has already made a name for himself!

While Wang Li was walking and lusting after the beautiful beauties on the street, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was the team coach Dave Jones calling!On weekdays, Dave Jones seldom contacted him proactively, and in fact he had nothing to say. Wang Li's team had been performing very well, so Dave Jones didn't have to worry about it at all.This time, he actually received a call from the head coach, which is really rare!

Turn on the listen button, and Dave Jones' characteristic rough voice came from the phone, "Alan, you have been selected for the England national team, congratulations!"

Wang Li didn't react for a while, he was stunned, and then said: "England national team?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Finally realizing what Dave Jones said, Wang Li immediately became excited, "Oh, sorry, I'm a little too happy, thank you for informing me of this news!"

"Oh, I understand your feelings very well, but don't play too late, you have to train tomorrow." On the phone, Dave said worriedly. He was afraid that Wang Li would be overly happy after hearing the news, like Like those fallen stars, do something exciting to vent, so I reminded.

"Thank you for your concern. I just went to the supermarket and I will be home in a while."

"That's good…"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Li was a little excited. He turned around and dialed Angela's cell phone. He was so happy that he wanted to share the news with Angela, and of course Tina, Rita, but in Wang Li's mind, Angela is the number one person. After the recent contact and sweet chat every day, they have talked about everything.

…………

On the afternoon of April NO.30, one and a half months before the opening of the European Cup, while the media and fans waited impatiently, the Swede Eriksson finally released the England team's squad for the European Cup!
Goalkeepers: David James (Manchester City, England), Paul Robinson (Tottenham, England), Ian Walker (Leicester City, England)

Defenders: Gary Neville (England Manchester United), Philip Neville (England Manchester United), Bridget (England Chelsea), Ashley Cole (England Arsenal), Sol Campbell (England Arsenal), John Terry (England) Chelsea) Jamie Carragher (Liverpool, England) King (Tottenham, England)

Midfielders: Butt (England Manchester United), Dyer (England Newcastle United), Frank Lampard (England Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (England Liverpool), Paul Scholes (England Manchester United), David Beckham Tom (Real Madrid, Spain) Hargreaves (Bayern Munich, Germany) Joe Cole (Chelsea, England)
Forwards: Michael Owen (Liverpool, England), Alan Wang (Wolverhampton, England), Wayne Rooney (Everton, England) Vassell (Aston Villa, England)

As expected by the media, in this 23-man roster, players from Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool still occupy the majority. However, the loss of teenager Pennant was beyond the expectations of many media.

Among the many new stars in England, Pennant, Wang Li and Rooney are the three most famous players, and Eriksson also had a very good evaluation of Pennant when watching the Leeds United game, which made the media They have listed Pennant as the most likely teenager to be selected for the national team, but perhaps there are too many midfielders in England, Eriksson finally gave up on him.

Liverpool striker Heskey should also be selected for the national team. In Liverpool, he even scored more goals than Michael Owen, but this time he lost the selection. Obviously, this is directly related to the selection of Rooney and Wang Li!

Even so, as soon as this list came out, Eriksson's reputation rose sharply.

Before, the media questioned the appointment of a Swede as the head coach of the England team. In their hearts, of course the England team wanted to find an England head coach, and the decision of the FA to hire Eriksson made the media And the fans were baffled.But now, this list has made this kind of doubt drop a lot. Stars such as Beckham, Owen, Gerrard, Lampard and so on have been selected for the national team one by one. The command can also scare away most teams.

Wang Li's entry into the national team has not been questioned too much. In the recent Premier League, his performance is obvious to all. However, some reporters still expressed concern about his last violent incident on the pitch. Wang Li, who does this kind of thing, must have a bad temper, which will affect the harmony in the England dressing room.

Facing the reporter's question, Eriksson replied with a smile: "I have watched Alan Wang's many games, and his superb skills and unremitting spirit moved me. As for the bad temper? Everyone will have some thoughts , you can't guarantee that every player obeys instructions like a machine. Football is a sport of passion. Only when everyone shows their own personality can they form a tenacious team. At least I think Alan Wang It fits my tactics well, that's enough, isn't it?"
