Chapter 140: Fight the National Team Again
Jones was also very nervous before the game, although his performance in the league was impeccable, but the national team is not only to see your performance, but also to see whether you are qualified or not, whether you will start or not is still to be determined.
It took a moment for Jones to regain his composure in the lounge with his hands clenched, just as Southgate, the team's head coach, prepared to name the starting line-up for the game.
Due to the attention of this game, countless media before the game were speculating about the starting line-up for this game, and also speculating whether the new three new additions this year will start, Southgate did not announce the starting line-up before this game, he did not want to cause more necessary trouble.
Now the guys of the British national team watched Southgate start to say the starting list for this game, and everyone's attention was all on this, first of all, the goalkeeper, in fact, there is no suspense in this position, Joe Hart is the best choice.
As expected, Southgate named Joe Hart in the goalkeeper's position.
Southgate has not changed much at the back, Bertrand, Gary Cahill, Stones, Kyle Walker four in the back position, the four have been very stable, the next is the midfield position, the midfield position is the most competitive position, Dier, Henderson, 2 people get the starting position in the midfield.
Then there is the midfielder, or Raheem Sterling's starter, and the two wide striker positions, these two wide positions have been constantly changing in the national team, and no one knows who Southgate will send them, in fact, everyone speculates that these two positions should be Jones and Rashford.
Because the personnel on the front line are the best in terms of these three people, everyone guessed correctly, left winger Rashford, at this time, Jones's heart is beating rapidly, his eyes are firmly fixed on Southgate, the position of the right winger is himself, it must be himself!
Jones silently thought in his heart that it must be himself, and if so, this will also be his first start in a national team game! Suddenly, Jones's eyes lit up, right winger Jones! Jones heard that!
At the top of the list is undoubtedly Kane.
Southgate didn't say much about this game, just reminded the players to play at the level they usually play at in training, and winning them by 3 goals is almost over!
After listening to the words of manager Southgate, the players of the national team burst into laughter, they did not take Slovenia too seriously, the game has not been played yet, they are already confident to win them!
The players giggled into the stadium passage, and as the Slovenian players glanced at the faces of the starters of the England national team, suddenly, the starting goalkeeper of Slovenia, Oblak, saw Jones among the starters of England, and was stunned, because in the crowd, he found the most handsome boy at a glance.
Oblak was stunned, in the Champions League this guy scored his goal 3 times, in the Champions League, he was stabbed three times by this little guy, and now when he sees Jones, his heart is a fire, he can't wait to eat Jones raw.
Oblak, who just finished the Champions League game, was poured into 4 goals in the last game, but he didn't expect that in the next game, he would actually be in the national team game, and he saw this kid he hates the most now.
Oblak's face turned red: "Good job! Jones, damn boy, you don't want to score a goal in my goal in this game. ”
Oblak turned and immediately walked onto the pitch, he was going to keep a clean sheet in this game and show the fans that the four goals in the last game were just Jones' luck!
After the warm-up, the players from both sides began to play, Jones raised his right hand and looked around, at this time, the fans applauded together, snapped!
There was a chorus of shouts at Wembley Stadium, and the England fans began to cheer, some of them for the national team, some for Jones, and some for their favorite players.
The stadium resounded with the names of all the players, and of course there were shouts about Jones, although the voice was very weak, but it already represented Jones in England, and the fans have begun to admit that Jones has the quality to start the national team.
"England's starting line-up is not luxurious, with only centre-backs Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling appearing in more than 20 games, but England's starting strikers are all top-notch, Rashford, Jones and Kane, the three super strikers."
"The game starts now, England is indeed a step ahead of Slovenia, and at the beginning of the game, England took the initiative and attacked Slovenia frantically from the start."
Slovenia did not defend to the death, but played against England, especially Oblak was very excited, he hoped to use this match to teach Jones a hard lesson!
The Slovenian coach on the sidelines was also stunned when he saw Jones playing on the right side, and he naturally focused on Jones, England's current hottest striker, before the game! It seems that the tactics under the change!
At this time, under the care of Handel and Dier, the two midfield cores, England was frantically attacking the Slovenian defense, which made Slovenia breathless, and the Slovenian coach on the sidelines was secretly anxious.
Dangerous! Now Slovenia is in danger! Slovenia are a bit tired defensively right now!
After Southgate saw the situation on the field, although he was a little relieved, but he was always not at ease without scoring, Henderson in the middle took the football, broke through the Slovenian team's Rotman, and frantically rushed to the Slovenian backline, and the Slovenian team's central defender Mevlia immediately pushed out and blocked Henderson's forward path.
Seeing Mevlia coming around, Henderson sent a through ball as soon as he moved his feet, and the ball crossed past Folia and rolled towards England's Marcus Rashford behind him.
Slovenia's central defender Cesar immediately went sideways and resisted Rashford, Rashford saw Cesar pounce, he immediately slammed the football slightly, easily dodged Cesar, and then directly volleyed, and the football flew towards the Slovenian goal.
The England fans on the sidelines immediately jumped up from their seats, their hands raised in the air, ready to cheer, ready to celebrate the goal!
However, as soon as the fans raised their hands and did not have time to cheer, the inevitable football was saved by the flying Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak, and the fans' movements immediately froze, dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a wonderful shot to be saved!
The football was saved by Oblak, who was flying away, and what Rashford didn't know was that Jones's start on the field stimulated Oblak, and this game also decided that Oblak must be a super long play.
