It's the end of May and we have a warm-up game against Nigeria, who are also World Cup winners, in three days' time, and Jones will start this game if nothing else.

Just kidding, no one will put the Premier League Golden Boot and assist king who scored 80 goals in a season game, a striker who scored 13 goals in the Champions League, and a striker who scored 120 goals in a single season on the bench!

St. Petersburg, as the training base of the England national team, is very lively today, because on the training ground, the English national team players are in full swing training.

England national team manager Gareth Southgate watched from the sidelines with a blank face, and in three days, the Three Lions will play a friendly against Nigeria because of Jones' selection.

Southgate had an idea in his mind, Chelsea defended the Premier League title and won the Champions League, and Jones naturally did not need to say much about the credit, as did Chelsea's front-court combination.

Now the national team also has five top scorers who can form a front trident, so Southgate wants to imitate Chelsea's forward combination and run in through two warm-up games, hoping to play well in Russia.

The striker of the England national team has been very good in the Premier League this season, and Jones is the Premier League Golden Boot with 80 goals, if not too few games.

Harry Kane is tied for second with Salah with 34, Jamie Vardy is fifth with 26 goals, and Rashford and Welbeck are close to it, but Raheem Sterling in midfield has scored 18 goals.

It is clear that Southgate will build an invincible trident of the Three Lions around Jones, Kane and Vardy.

Among the other strikers, Marcus Rashford and Welbeck have scored fewer goals but have performed well.

In midfield, there is a combination of Alli and Sterling, a combination of one goal and one goal, a combination of Henderson and Jesse Lingard, and Ashley Young and Kieran Trippier on the wings.

The backfield depends on who performs well, and the backcourt has the most people.

"Hey, boss, I'll report." A crisp and loud voice disrupted Southgate's thoughts.

Southgate came back to his senses and saw Jones with a smile on his face, and Southgate's eyes lit up.

"Jones! You're finally here! Southgate said with a smile.

In Russia this summer, whether England can reach the final and hit the second World Cup title, the 19-year-old in front of him will be his biggest reliance.

The players on the training ground also stopped training and looked to the sidelines.

Seeing Jones coming, Rashford and Welbeck looked very heavy, because they knew that unless Jones was injured or did not perform well, this talented player who England valued very much would definitely occupy one of the starting striker positions.

Among the other players, they basically know Jones in a season of games, and they have also played against each other, such as Rashford, Ali, Kane and others, they are a little embarrassed because Jones has made them all fail this season.

But now everyone is fighting for the country, and their team has such a powerful person joining, which naturally makes them feel better, as the captain of this World Cup, Kane took the lead to come over: "Welcome, Jones, you are here, we are more confident!" ”

Of the 23-man England squad confirmed, Champions League winners Chelsea have only two selected, namely Chelsea captain Gary Cahill and third captain Jones.

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Butland (Stoke City), Pope (Burnley)

Defenders: John

Midfielders: Dier (Tottenham), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Alli (Tottenham), Loftus-Cheek (Crystal Palace), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Delph (Manchester City)

Forwards: Harry Kane (Tottenham), Vardy (Leicester City), Welbeck (Arsenal), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jones (Chelsea)

Chelsea only had two selections, Chelsea this is a championship team, a team that won the quadruple, but only two were selected, which is a bit shabby.

However, there is no way to do it, and Chelsea's main players in the title are only the two English players, and there are better performers in other positions.

The media in England also began to build momentum, saying: "This World Cup is England's new golden generation, and this England team, led by the famous player and coach Gareth Southgate, is shining with stars."

There are Kane, Jones, Rashford, Vardy, and Welbeck in the frontcourt, and if nothing else, the frontcourt should be Kane, Jones, and Vardy, the three top five scorers in the Premier League.

Ali, Lingard, Sterling, Dale...... This is definitely England's strongest midfield line-up in almost two decades.

With John Stones, Gary Cahill, Ashley Young and Trent Alexander-Arnold in the back, England will be aiming to make a difference at the World Cup in Russia. ”

Before the game, Southgate also said in a high-profile manner that England will beat any opponent under the leadership of Jones, Kane, and Vardy, the three hottest strikers in the Premier League!

This is an invincible front trident composed of the Premier League's top scorers!

The England forward led by these three people, even Italy, which is good at defense, is embarrassed to say that it can defend absolutely.

So Southgate also has the capital to declare war, and he has made up his mind, this time, to take advantage of the invincible momentum of the Premier League's trident to get a good result in the World Cup in Russia!

…………

Three days later, after the players have first familiarized themselves with their team-mates, England's first warm-up game will begin tomorrow on June 2nd.

Southgate met with the assistant coach and members of the coaching staff last night and made a preliminary decision to focus on the 433 formation.

Of course, the England international's foot skills are not good except for Jones, so Southgate adopts a different 433 tactic according to the characteristics of the players.

Led by their strength and conditioning coach, the internationals warmed up and then moved freely, with Cahill pulling Jones over and his team-mates wanting to tell him how their side won the Champions League.

Kane said to Jones with some envy: "I really envy you guys, you actually won a quadruple crown, including the Champions League." ”

Jones said calmly: "What is there to envy, if you come to our team, we will still win the Champions League next season." ”

Kane's eyes lit up, and at this time, Southgate and others came to the sidelines, and Southgate held the papers in his hand.

shouted from the sidelines: "Everyone assemble, divide into two groups, have a training match, everyone must remember the tactical ...... arranged yesterday"

The players assigned to the red training vests are Jordan Pickford, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Cahill, Ashley Young, Deli Alli, Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane, Jones, Jamie Vardy.

With a 433 formation, Southgate intends to see if the three can produce the effect of 3 plus 3 equals 6 through training matches.

The players assigned to the yellow vests were Butland, Harry Maguire, Kieran Trippier, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ross, Jesse Lingard, Dier, Delph, Loftus-Cheek, Marcus Rashford, Welbeck, and the yellow side was 442.
