933 Twenty-three people in the squad

"Boss!! Is this true!! I can't believe it! ”

While the media was still talking, Vardy had already called!

There was a hint of excitement in his tone!

For Vardy, having a high wave basically means a championship.

That's Vardy's experience, and he knows Gao Bo well.

The boss will not let go of any champion!

"Yes, Jamie! I'm going to coach England until the end of the World Cup.... So, get ready to work with me for another month! ”

Gao Bo said with a smile.

"Boss, I'm willing to follow you for the rest of my life!"

Vardy immediately pledged his loyalty.

Gao Bo frowned slightly.

This is a bit of a sentimental flavor when you say this.

After he calmed down Vardy, Adam White and Milner and others soon called!

In this World Cup, although Manchester City has selected five players, Hodgson basically used Gerrard and Rooney as the core structure in the previous tactical arrangement.

Wayne Rooney, England's number one striker, is basically locking in a main position. Even Gao Bo will not make the decision to remove Rooney lightly.

And Gerrard, the core of Liverpool's midfield, will basically be the midfield brain of this team.

Therefore, the status of these two players is basically five people can challenge.

In terms of the positions of other players, Hodgson prefers to use members of other teams, so the selection of five Manchester City players is basically peripheral members, and there is not much relevance to this England team.

However, after Gao Bo became the head coach of this team, they immediately saw hope.

Hit the hope of the main force!

There are five of them!

It is a natural descendant of Gaobo!

It's inevitable.

Because Gao Bo is new to the city and the time is still very short, it is impossible for him to get to know the other English players again and then arrange the tactics in a slow manner.

He can only use instant combat power!

Those instant combat powers that he knew all too well!

However, Gao Bo of course also knows that he can't be too biased towards Manchester City's players, and he must balance the team's dressing room relationship.

In the national team, the players are first and foremost from major clubs.

The rivalry between the two sides in the club team sometimes affects the unity of the national team.

And if Gao Bo, as the head coach, does not take care of the emotions of the players in this regard, it will have a great negative impact on the team's results.

Before the team's first training camp, Gao Bo first called a few of his old buddies at Manchester City.

Moya et al., members of his coaching staff.

In addition to technical positions such as team doctors, Gao Bo brought his assistant coaches, tactical analysts, and intelligence analysts to the England team.

Coaching staff!

This is the first piece that Gao Bo needs to completely control.

Gao Bo then began to study England's squad.

Prior to this, Hodgson had announced the 23+7 preparation squad for the World Cup.

First of all, the goalkeeper aspect.

Hodgson circled three goalkeepers.

Joe Hart, Ben Foster, Fraser Foster!

These are basically the three best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and Gao Bo doesn't have much objection to this.

Joe Hart's main goalkeeper is still stable.

Although there is a saying that I saw Hart's wheel, it has been reduced to a backdrop for world waves many times.

However, Hart's goal-line skills are still very good, although Gao Bo is a little dissatisfied with Joe Hart's ability at his feet, but he can only make do with it.

After all, this is the national team, not in the club.

If England's goalkeeper doesn't choose Joe Hart, who else can he choose?

And Joe Hart and Gao Bo still had a cooperative relationship, although Gao Bo sent Joe Hart away, but the relationship between the two is not bad.

On the back line, Hodgson opted for Glen Johnson, Bynes, Phil Jones, Jagielka, Gary Cahill, Smalling, Luke Shaw, Kieran Trippier, Maguire and others.

And Gao Bo intends to keep the combination of Maguire and Gary Cahill as the main central defender.

The centre-back combination is the most demanding position, and normally, Gao Bo will not rotate the main centre-back combination during the World Cup, unless they are injured.

On the bench, Gao Bo hovered among Phil Jones, Smalling, and Jagielka.

In the end, he chose Smalling and Jagielka, leaving Phil Jones out of the World Cup squad.

Phil Jones is a very ferocious centre-back, but even as a substitute, Gao Bo feels that this guy's skills are a little too rough.

The characteristics of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are not available, but since there are not many centre-backs to choose from at the moment, they can only be the tallest of the shorter ones.

Leaving Jagielka, Jagielka can also make a cameo as a full-back, and in a dense schedule like the World Cup, this kind of player who can play multiple positions, Gao Bo must also prepare one or two.

At full-back, Luke Shaw and Kieran Trippier were the absolute mainstays, while on the bench, Gobo opted for the 30-year-old Baines.

The ability of the England defender, Gao Bo is still relatively trusted.

After the defenders identified seven members, Gao Bo set his sights on the midfield.

In fact, there are also many players in the midfield who can make cameo appearances as full-backs, such as Milner and Lallana, so Gao Bo does not need to worry about the embarrassing situation of a defender being injured and having no defender to use for the time being.

In midfield, Hodgson has a lot of options.

However, after carefully reading this list, Gao Bo preliminarily selected nine players!

Gerrard!

This is a player who has to be selected.

The quality of this player is one of the few world-class abilities in this team.

England is no longer the star-studded team it was at the beginning, and there aren't many players in this England team who can be considered truly first-class players.

If anything, Gerald would have to be one of them.

Secondly, there is Frank Lampard.

Lampard is 36 years old.

However, Gobo still intends to keep Lampard with the team, even if it is as a substitute.

What's more, with the role of cards, Lampard is definitely a wonder soldier at a critical moment!

As a midfielder, Frank Lampard is in the top four in the Premier League for total goals!

This is quite a difficult statistic.

In addition, Gao Bo's selected midfielders include Henderson, Milner, Adam White, Raheem Sterling, Lallana, Wilshere, and Barkley!

A total of nine midfielders.

Of the four strikers in the subsequent 23-man squad, Gao Bo chose Rooney, Vardy, Lambert, and Sturridge!
