Chapter 46: Happiness headache!

Due to the influence of the English Premier League and the strong singularity of the British media, every training session of the "Three Lions" can be said to have touched the hearts of countless fans around the world. This is why Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen's selection caused such a big sensation.

Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen, who were selected for the English team training list for the first time, were like two curious babies. They visited the training base in St. George's Park that day. After returning to the hotel, they found that Walcott and Leiden Bynes, the "Gunners" internationals, also arrived.

Leiden Bynes is Arsenal who only joined this season. The left-back who became famous in Everton was the "Professor" Wenger searched for the successor he found for many years after losing Ashley Cole. However, when he met Leeds United in the FA Cup, Bynes was in the recovery stage and failed to catch up. The "Gunners" who played at home at that time really didn't look down on Leeds United. Wenger did not pay enough attention to the arrangement of troops, and eventually fell into a gutter.

"Little Tiger" Walcott was impressed by Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen, the young midfielder combination of "Young Guards". After seeing the two, he greeted them with a smile. Walcott, who was 23 years old, is not old, but he is already a "veteran" on the green field. The elimination of Leeds United into the FA Cup was caused by various reasons. He himself was frustrated at that time, and it would be enough to have a clear conscience. If he still holds grudges in this kind of thing, it would be too unprofessional. Otherwise, with the grudge between the Gunners and the "Red Devils" Manchester United, the international players in the two teams could simply become enemies.

At the call of Lampard and Gerrard, the players who arrived had a dinner in the hotel that night. At this time, Wang Tiezhu could also fully see the distribution of English football's strength. The strongest of them are still the "Red Devils" Manchester United, including Rooney, Ashley Young, Tom Clevelli, Phil Jones, and Leo Ferdinand who came to help with injuries. Manchester United and his family have sent five international players to England, and these five people should be finally selected for the 23-man roster.

The second is Manchester City, which is now in the fierce competition for the league championship with Manchester United. Barry, Joe Hargreaves, and Richards are all very strong players. Moreover, the real strength of Manchester City is their foreign players. Aguero, David Silva, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Tevez and other stars are the fundamental reason why Manchester City is powerful.

Chelsea ranked third, Lampard, Ashley Cole and Terry were also the main players in the England national team.

In addition, Liverpool, Arsenal and Leeds each have two selected, but compared with Liverpool's Gerald, Stewart Downing, Arsenal's Walcott, Leiden Bynes, Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen will eventually be selected for the 23rd party. After all, they are players from the "Youth Guards" in the second division, and they are far behind in terms of strength, experience, popularity, etc.

Of course, everyone who can be selected for the 26-man roster has a chance. After all, there are still two months before the start of the European Championship. There are still several friendly matches to play during this period, and everyone has a chance to perform. In addition, England has just changed its head coach, so it is not certain who can better meet Hodgson's tactical requirements.

These stars of England have a tradition of having dinner together. They will do it once every time they are all in training. The purpose is nothing more than to give everyone a chance to get to know each other well. The training date of the national team is still too short. The time for these stars to be familiar with each other is limited. Apart from training, there is only rest time to use.

Both Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen are still newcomers. They are not excluded in the England team because no one regards them as competitors. Even if everyone knows that these two kids have great potential, if they want to threaten their status, they still have to wait until the "Youth Guards" return to the Super League next season.

During the training the next day, England's new coach Roy Hodgson appeared in front of England's stars with his assistant.

Compared with his predecessor Capello, Hodgson's coaching resume is not that brilliant, but he is also an ignorant coach with rich coaching experience. He has achieved club success in Sweden, leading Malmö to win two league championships and two cup championships. Later, he led the Swiss national team to the quarterfinals of the 1994 US World Cup and the quarterfinals of the 1996 European Championship. When he returned to England, he led Fulham to the UEFA Cup final. Although he eventually lost to Atletico Madrid in Spain, Hodgson's coaching ability has won the recognition of the English football circle.

Later, Hodgson was fired after coaching Liverpool for only half a season and went to West Bromwich to coach again. Although West Bromwich, a weak team, could not enter the European arena this season, there was no risk of relegation at all. Even if Hodgson resigned midway and became the new coach of England, this team would not have any problems.

Standing in front of a group of stars, Hodgson touched his unique British nose and smiled: "I think you all know me, and I know you too, so let's not introduce yourself. Let me just say something real. This training camp is mainly for the European Cup held in Poland and Ukraine this summer. Among you are veterans who have been famous for a long time, and there are young men who have just shown their strength, but for me, your previous points have been cleared again. You need to show yourself well and win a position for yourself!"

Hodgson said this and said with a serious expression: "And, I promise that each of you has the opportunity to go to Ukraine with me. What you have to do is very simple. Just show me your best side! Okay, start training now!"

Among the coaches standing beside Hodgson, the most famous one is Stewart Pierce, the head coach of the British National Olympic Team. He also serves as the head coach of the England U23 national team. However, at this time, the British National Olympic Team and the U23 national team did not have training tasks, so he became Hodgson's assistant. And most importantly, almost everyone in the England team is selected by him. In fact, he provided Hodgson with a detailed list, and then Hodgson finally selected twenty-six people.

Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen were selected, but Pierce's blessing was actually due to Pierce's. The head coach of the British National Olympic Team has even thought about it. Once these two kids cannot get into Hodgson's eyes, he will transfer these two kids to his own National Olympic Team. Their strength is definitely enough.

After the training began, Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen soon discovered that the training intensity of England's team was somewhat inferior to Leeds United, but the quality required was higher, just like a passing and receiving training, the ball must be passed to where the ball must be passed, and what level of control the player who catches the ball must reach when receiving the ball, etc. There are also coaches making detailed records while making detailed records.

However, these stars of England are really capable. Even a player like Terry who looks very rough can do the pass and catch the ball well. Jonny Hausen was originally a midfielder with strong personal abilities, and these sub-training trainings are not difficult for him. However, Wang Tiezhu was very grateful that if he had not added all his skill points to the catch attribute recently, he would have really been ugly.

After the long-range shooting training, Wang Tiezhu's performance won praise from all the players. Terry hugged Wang Tiezhu and laughed: "Shake, your kid's long-range shooting ability is really not weak! In this way, our England team has the third heavy shot besides Frank and Steven!"

There are many people in the England team who have good long-range shooting skills, but besides Lampard and Gerald, such as Cleville, Bynes, Hargreaves, Rooney and others, are just ordinary.

However, Wang Tiezhu, the recruit's long-range shooting ability, was impressive. His two sets of twenty long-range shots, except for three-legged shots, penetrated the goalkeeper Joe Hart's fingers seventeen times. As long as he hit the goal frame, Joe Hart couldn't even save a single ball.

After a morning of training, the players started taking lunch breaks. In the afternoon, Hodgson asked the players to divide into two teams and start fighting.

This time, Wang Tiezhu's performance as a midfielder was even better. His strong defensive ability was fully utilized. Although it was difficult to directly grab the ball from the opponent's feet in one-on-one situation, these stars of England were not given in vain, but his running ability gave him a larger range of activities and his defensive coverage was wider. He was always able to defend every time his opponent attacked, which was enough.

In order to win the trust of the new coach Hodgson, these England stars were also serious enough on the training ground. After the training on the 22nd, the training on the 23rd became easy, just some tactical drills, especially small-scale cooperation was regarded as the focus.

This time, the twenty-six human resources who were in a hurry to train are still not in a crisis of being eliminated. There is still time before the European Cup, and they still have enough time to show themselves, but this depends on their performance in training.

The friendly match between England and the Netherlands is scheduled for the 24th, while their friendly match with Spain is on the 27th. Although they are both at home, the pressure on England is still quite large. After all, this team is in a handover stage. The coaching philosophy of the new coach Hodgson has not yet taken root in this team. Instead, the defensive counterattack tactics of "iron coach" Capello have become the instinct of the English team.

That night, the hotel conference room was full of team coaches. Hodgson was studying the lineup against the Netherlands with his coaching team tomorrow. Due to the tight time, Hodgson did not intend to change the team's existing tactics. It was not realistic to push them all down and start over again, so it was enough to decide the team's lineup.

For today's England team, the forward line is the least needed to be discussed. As long as Rooney is not injured, he will definitely occupy a starting position. "Little Fatty"'s strong fighting spirit and his fighting spirit on the court are something that no head coach will miss. Another forward can do either Walcott or Darren Bent, as long as they are in good shape.

The team's back line has not made any major adjustments. Ashley Cole, Glen Johnson, Terry, and Ferdinand are all the main players, but Ferdinand is injured and cannot get on the way. Considering that Phil Jones is too young, this starting opportunity was given to Bolton's Gary Cahill.

The team's midfielder was the team's midfielder, Lampard and Gerrard were all the way. In addition, Ashley Young, Lunon, Cleville, Downing, Barry, Jonny Hausen, and Wang Tiezhu made sense. Even Bynes, who joined the team as a left back, could play as a left forward, but in the end he could only choose two of them. It is really hard to choose who they are.

Nowadays, English football has relatively inspiring an era of midfield players. The forwards and defenders have only a few outstanding players, but this midfielder is really hard to choose. Hodgson suddenly felt a little headache, but the feeling of being in charge of the national team's coach is quite happy.
