148. Glory Enters the Three Lions (Part 2)
In preparation for the warm-up match against Turkey on May 23, England head coach Roy Hodgson held a press conference to announce the preliminary list for the England national team.
The initial list of 30 players will be finalized before the deadline on June 1, and Hodgson will observe the players' performance through two warm-up games, and then decide the final 23-man squad for the European Championship in France based on the actual injury situation.
This means that there will be seven players who will not be selected for the final squad, and the competition will be fierce.
England 30-man preliminary shortlist:
Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), Fraser Forster (Southampton), Heaton (Burnley).
Defenders: Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Nathaniel Klein (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Chris Chris Smalling (Manchester United), John Stones (Everton), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Phil Jagielka (Everton).
Midfielders: James Milner (Liverpool), Eric Dill (Tottenham Hotspur), Ross Barkley (Everton), Deli Alli (Tottenham Hotspur), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Adam Lallana (Liverpool), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Daniel Drinkwater (Leicester City), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Fabian Delphi (Manchester City).
Forwards: Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Qiansheng (Arsenal), Jermaine Defoe (Sunderland).
Judging from this list, the traditional teams in the Premier League have players selected, with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool being the big winners. There are five players each, followed by Manchester United's four. They were followed by three from Manchester City and Everton, and two each from Southampton, Arsenal and Leicester. Interestingly, relegation side Sunderland and Championship champions Burnley each have one selected.
According to the analysis of the media and experts, the final number of goalkeepers in the squad is three, so barring injuries, the three goalkeepers on this preliminary list have already secured tickets to France.
In terms of defenders, according to the principle of one main force and one substitute for the four defenders, one of the nine defenders must be brushed.
The number of midfielders is relatively large, and Hodgson will choose the number of midfielders according to different opponents. According to the different characteristics and abilities of the midfielders, 7 people were selected from the 11 players. So, the competition in the midfield is the fiercest.
The number of forwards is more bloated, because Wayne Rooney can drop back to play in midfield, and Hodgson intends to bring only five strikers to France, so the strikers have to eliminate two people.
Who gets a ticket to France will depend on the performances of these internationals in friendly matches.
Due to the FA Cup final on May 21. The four Manchester United internationals who have been named in the England squad will not take part in the first warm-up game and will assemble at the national team after the FA Cup final.
After the England national team squad was announced, it shook the whole of England and even Europe.
Because this season, the supernova of Swiss-Chinese talent, which has attracted the attention of European powers. Featured in the England squad for the national team.
This means that Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Spain, and other European powers have failed in their struggle for dry livelihood.
When someone questioned why the Swiss nationality Qiansheng joined England, FA chairman Greg Dykedser replied: Qiansheng has obtained British nationality.
Germany, Italy, France, and Jose complained with envy and hatred: "A foreigner who has lived in the UK for less than a year can actually obtain British citizenship." You're driving too wildly in the back, aren't you? β
However, Qiansheng retains his Swiss nationality, so he is a dual national.
This is the principle he adheres to. At the same time, it is also a reason why he did not choose the Chinese national team.
Because the nationality law of China stipulates that dual nationality is not allowed. If you want to become a Chinese citizen, you must renounce your original nationality.
Therefore, Qiansheng can only say that he has no fate with Huaxia, and I am not that I do not choose Huaxia, but the laws of your country do not allow it.
If China can allow dual nationality, maybe, they will have a dry life, the World Cup qualification is not a dream, and the Asian Cup is just around the corner.
If Chai Xinghua, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, knew, would he cry and faint in the toilet? Will you hate Huaxia's nationality law?
Many people are speculating, what is England's basis?
Why is Qiansheng?
When the eyes of the whole of Europe were on this 15-year-old player, the miraculous development trajectory of Qiansheng was slowly widely known under the publicity of the media.
Who is Qiansheng?
Turning over the honor book of Qiansheng, he is the official player of the season in the Premier League, the Premier League Golden Boot this season, the number one goal contributor in the Premier League this season, and was selected in the European Under-23 team of the season, and not long ago, he won the Premier League official Newcomer of the Season, the Premier League official Goal of the Season and was selected into the Premier League's official Team of the Season.
Looking at his stats again, this is his first season, because he only joined Arsenal at the end of February, and after only 8 league games, he scored 34 goals, provided 5 assists, and contributed 39 goals to Arsenal, accounting for 45% of the team's 87 goals, which is the first in Europe this season!
Look at his resume again, born in Switzerland, grew up in China, never had contact with football before the age of 15, worked hard in London, was discovered by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, joined the team at the end of February, and came off the bench in early March to save Arsenal with two goals, it took only three months, 8 games, breaking many records, and winning many honors that many professional players may not get in their lifetime. Moreover, Qiansheng showed his powerful abilities, such as the free kick that he pointed to, the super shooting technique that frightened the goalkeeper in the dead corner, and the reproduction of the outside instep free kick lost by the "football emperor" Beckenbauer, etc.
Compared with Leicester City's leading striker of this season's new grassroots champions, Inspirational Varanti, Qiansheng's experience is more inspirational and legendary.
Of course, no one knows about Qiansheng's family history, which makes people full of mystery.
Therefore, when almost everything in Qiansheng was stripped naked and exposed to the public's eyes, in this era of pervasiveness and no secrets, Qiansheng's popularity in European football rose rapidly.
This was unthinkable in the football world before, knowing that reaching the same number of fans, it would take less time to live than Messi and Ronaldo.
This is an era of entertainment for football stars, and an era of fan economy.
For the players of the Qiansheng generation, they have encountered a good era. (To be continued.) )
