Roy Hodgson frowned and looked at the papers in his hand.

Gary Neville held his chin up, his eyes glazed over, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Gary, just recruit Andalos." Hodgson seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Neville.

I don't know if it's because of his age, or because of his vitreous physique, the two Phils in the backline, Jones and Jagielka, are injured, not only the two, but Michael Carrick and Jermaine Defoe have also fallen.

With four players missing all at once, it's no wonder Hodgson and Neville are in a bad mood.

Fortunately, the players of Manchester United and Liverpool returned, and there were still several players to choose from on the shortlist, so Hodgson and Neville discussed for a long time and decided to call in a player.

Andalos Townsend was a former Tottenham Hotspur winger, but later moved to Newcastle United because he was not taken seriously by new manager Robert Pochettino, where he was reborn at the Magpies and was selected for the England national team with his good performances and form.

With four players injured in a row, Townsend was fortunate to be the only member of the shortlist to make the primary squad for the remaining two games in England.

At Monday's press conference, Hodgson said with some reluctance that the main striker Jamie Walty will be absent for the next warm-up game against Australia.

"Jamie is going to have his wedding on Wednesday, so he's going to miss the week of training and the weekend's games."

"His wedding was originally scheduled to take place in June last year, but I called him up for a friendly match and he cancelled the wedding, so this time he was able to do it. The public may be surprised, but one of the important reasons is that he had to cancel his wedding last year, and I wouldn't see that as a problem compared to the complaints that might arise about that date. ”

"Under normal circumstances. Wednesday would be the day the team assembled, and he might want to have 10 days off when he plans his wedding. But we know Jamie well and we're happy with him and I don't think his position is at stake, so it's not going to give me problems. ”

"On the strikers for the next game. I think it's still early. If healthy, Vane, Marcus, and Daniel will compete with Jamie, Harry, and Gan. Marcus' injury is not serious, we will wait and see. Maybe the starting line-up will be announced before the game, but now it will be up to us to see how we train in the next few days. ”

'There were a lot of positives for yesterday's game, we played well for most of the game and when you play against a team like Turkey we have to be extra careful, they are very strong.

"Why didn't he play as a striker most of the time? It doesn't matter who it is. As long as the team needs it, serve the team. I'm glad he did a good job and I'm very happy with his performance. Although there were fewer dry goals due to the retreat of the position, he showed a new ability to make the team more balanced. It's important because every opponent in the European Championship is strong and you have to beat them. We need to show more dominance in the game. ”

Hodgson's remarks caused all kinds of discussions in English football, and the match between England and Turkey made many "football emperors" and football experts analyze and study. Some questioned Hodgson's waste of offensive talent, some questioned Hodgson's new tactics around Qian, and some praised Hodgson's bold tactical innovation......

Before Walty left, Qiansheng waited for his teammates to see him off at the door. Walty said regretfully: "The wedding time and training time conflict, I regret you can't come to my wedding." ”

Qiansheng smiled and said, "It's okay, we can't come, but the red envelope must arrive!" ”

Jack Wilshire laughed and said, "You are so stingy, the inside of the red envelope must be empty." ”

Qiansheng's face changed. Teeth and claws pounced on Wilshere: "Dare to slander Lao Tzu!" Don't forget to turn around and shout: "Jamie, don't worry, my red envelope is genuine!" ”

Seeing Qiansheng and a few young teammates laughing and playing, Walty was a little reluctant.

Club teammate Daniel Drinkwater nudged him and said with a smile: "You've been delaying the bride for a year, go get the big things done, and we'll fight side by side when we come back." ”

On the sidelines of the training ground, Neville was talking to several coaches, and a voice came from behind him: "Gary, I want to talk to you alone." ”

In the corner of the training ground, Wayne Rooney glanced at the Chinese-faced teenager wearing a red training vest on the field, and said: "In yesterday's game, Qian only played as a striker for a few minutes, and then he kept running all over the field, not fixed on the front line, is it his own intention, or the meaning of the leader?" ”

Neville looked at his former club and national team teammates with some complications, this is the talent who broke the England national team's goal record and is currently the top scorer in the national team, and the current national team captain only needs 7 international games to surpass David Beckham and become the second most international player in the national team.

The Red Devils goalscorer, nicknamed "Chubby", only turned 31 in October, and if he can stay fit and in good shape, he could break the international record held by former England international Peter Hilton in a few years.

However, with the rise of Harry Kyle and Qiansheng, it is difficult for Rooney to win the starting position in the forward position, and even in the midfield, it may be difficult to compete with a group of young talents such as Wilshere, Deli Ali, and Eric Deere. The only thing that will allow him to play well in the national team may be his vast tournament experience. After all, this year's national team may be the youngest in history, and the experience of the oldest leading brother is very much needed.

Lu Xiaopang was also a talented star back then, and he won the best player and top scorer in the U17 International Competition, and he came off the bench at home before the age of 17 to beat Arsenal with a world wave, and he was a blockbuster. In that year, he was appreciated by the then national team coach Sven Eriksen and promoted to the national team to partner with Michael Owen, the main striker at the time. The following year, he participated in the European Championship, and at the age of 18, he scored 4 goals in the group stage, contributed 1 assist, and created 1 penalty to shock the football world. After that, he moved to Manchester United and won numerous trophies.

This summer's European Championship will be the first time the 31-year-old Rooney has led the young Three Lions to participate in an international tournament as captain. (To be continued.) )
