As the day of the final 24 submission of the final 23-man squad for the European Championship is getting closer, the top teams are announcing their squads one after another.

On the evening of May 31, the England national team held a press conference to announce to the public the final 23-man squad for the 2016 European Championship in France, along with the shirt number.

Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson has confirmed his selection after a final scouting of two warm-up games in Turkey and Australia.

Here is the final 23-man squad for England at the European Championships:

Goalkeeper:

No. 1 Joe Hart, No. 13 Fraser Foster, No. 23 Tom Heaton

Fullback:

No. 2 Kyle Walker, No. 3 Danny Rose, No. 5 Gary Cahill, No. 6 Chris Smalling, No. 12 Nathaniel Klein, No. 16 John Stones, No. 21 Ryan Bertrand

Midfielder:

James Milner (4), Raheem Sterling (7), Adam Lallana (8), Jordan Henderson (14), Eric Deere (17), Jack Wilshere (18), Ross Barkley (19), Deley Ali (20).

Striker:

No. 9, No. 10 Wayne Rooney, No. 11 Harry Kane, No. 15 Jamie Walty, No. 22 Marcus Rashford

The 18-year-old, who made his international debut, was selected for the selection, mainly due to Daniel Sturridge's injury. Originally, in Hodgson's plan, only five strikers were carried, so the original No. 22 shirt was owned by Sturridge.

However, after repeated diagnoses by the team doctor, Sturridge's body was not fit to compete in the fierce international competition, so Rashford was lucky to be shortlisted at the last minute.

In midfield, Daniel Drinkwater, who gave up his solid performance in the warm-up game, was a little surprising, perhaps his lack of experience in the tournament eventually blocked his path to France, or perhaps the midfielder in the squad suffered serious injuries and the core of the midfield of the new Premier League champion Leicester City "drinking brother" had a chance.

Newcastle United winger Andros Townsend was not selected, as a single attacking approach would not guarantee him a ticket to the European Championships.

Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delphi, who was undrafted at the last minute, had to leave the Three Lions due to an injury, leaving Klein lucky enough to catch the last train to the European Championships.

This is an England national team with an average age of 24.91 years, of which, the oldest is Wayne Rooney, and at 30 years old, he and Cahill are the only two post-85 players. The youngest is Qiansheng, at the age of 15, he is not only in the England team, but also in the round of 24 of the European Championship, the only player born in 2000, and the only underage player.

Although he is the youngest, his fame is not low, and all kinds of magical performances that break various records have long spread throughout Europe and China. Two days later, the England national team's final warm-up match against European powerhouse Portugal will be played at Wembley Stadium, which is full of highlights.

First of all, judging from the historical record, Portugal of the Latin football school can be described as the nemesis of England, 5 games, the Three Lions have no win, 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses The record makes England fans ashamed, you know, the only two 2 draws are friendly in nature, and in the big tournament, England against Portugal, all lost.

In the opening match of the first round of the group stage of the 2000 European Championship, Portugal, which has a golden generation of players, won the first victory with three goals in a row after conceding two goals in a disadvantage. This game can be called a classic, Rui Costa's scalpel-like assist, Luis Figo's unrepeatable world wave long-range shot, Joao Pinto's equalizer, and Nuno Gomez, who became a demigod as soon as he arrived at the national team, the ball is a classic, and this game is also the beginning of England's inevitable defeat against Portugal in every major tournament.

In the two friendlies that followed, in 2002 and 2004, both sides drew 1-1. In the 2004 European Cup, Portugal, as the host, met the Three Lions again in the quarterfinals, and the two sides played 1-1 again in 90 minutes, and in extra time, due to the cancellation of the golden ball system, so Portugal scored first, England stubbornly equalized, the two sides played 2-2 in 120 minutes, and finally the penalty shootout, Portugal won the final victory 6-5.

The last meeting between the two sides, in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, was in the quarter-finals, this time the two sides played 0-0 in 120 minutes, England fell on penalties again, and what is even more tragic than the last time is that England only made four rounds of free throws, and actually missed three goals, and the three people who took the free throws were all famous players: Frank Lampard, Steve Gerrard, Jamie Carragher.

It can be said that this friendly match at Wembley Stadium will be full of revenge. Will the younger-armed Three Lions break their nemesis' curse and win their first kill against Portugal at home?

It was a suspenseful, unfriendly warm-up match, and another highlight was the confrontation between the Premier League Golden Boot, 15-year-old Qiansheng and the Champions League Golden Boot, 31-year-old Portuguese star Cristian Ronaldo.

Scored 34 goals in 8 games, shot wherever he wanted, shot at the dead corner, and had no missing shots, Qiansheng's scoring ability has been confirmed by the Premier League Golden Boot award.

He scored 16 goals in 12 Champions League games and 35 goals in 36 league games, totaling 51 goals in 48 games for the season, creating the first player in history to score more than 50 goals in club competitions in six consecutive seasons. Not even the Argentine superstar Leo Messi, who has a Ballon d'Or with a large number of slaps, has not done this.

In the past few years, the Ballon d'Or has been divided between Ronaldo and Messi, and the annual goal statistics of these two are gods, and the world calls these two the double pride of contemporary football. There was a season when the two shocked the world by constantly dominating the ball in the game in order to overwhelm each other in terms of goals.

Major media and experts rank the top ten strikers every year, and the Argentine star and the Portuguese star firmly occupy the top two.

However, time is a pig-killing knife, and sooner or later the general will be white-headed. Ronaldo is 31 years old, Messi is 29 years old, and he is about to reach his end. When they grow old, who will take their place?

This extraordinary friendly match focused on Qiansheng and Ronaldo. Will Cristiano Ronaldo, who has only played 120 minutes in the UEFA Champions League final, play in this friendly match? You know, from the end of the final to the start of the warm-up match, there are only three or four days, and it is only a friendly match, and the Portuguese teammates must risk Ronaldo's injury to let him play? You must know that Ronaldo's injury is not completely healed.

It's just that in the face of the young Three Lions, who vowed to win their first win against Portugal and have the top three scorers in the Premier League, what can Portugal without Ronaldo to maintain their unbeaten record against England?

"Dry, look at this report." Kane took a newspaper and pointed to the news on it and said to Qiansheng.

"Me and Ronaldo, who is competing?" Qiansheng's mouth curled, stopped reading the newspaper, and said, "Let's wait until I can meet them in the European Cup." ”

He was watching the Champions League final at the Meaza Stadium, where Ronaldo's performance was mediocre and he didn't create many chances, probably because his injury wasn't entirely well. Although he finally took the penalty and helped Real Madrid win their 11th Champions League trophy, Qiansheng did not think that the Portuguese star would play in this friendly match.

After all, Ronaldo is the captain of Portugal, and he is the only world-class star, and the burden of Portugal's siege is on him. After all, among Portugal's forwards, apart from Cristiano Ronaldo, who can take responsibility for scoring goals?

So in order to let Ronaldo rest and recover his strength and injury, Portugal coach Fernando Santos did not plan to let Ronaldo play in this game, and it was impossible to even substitute.

Even if they lose the warm-up match, as long as Ronaldo is healthy, Portugal will have hope to go further in the European Championship.

England's media is destined not to see the two major goalscorers of Qiansheng and Ronaldo, and after Qiansheng returned to the England national team, he closed his doors, did not see the media, did not attend the press conference, and trained with his teammates every day.

"Boss, Qian's indicators are normal, it seems that he didn't eat anything during his departure from the team." Gary Neville said with a smile.

Hodgson nodded, he had long heard of the 15-year-old Qiansheng's strong professionalism. It is absolutely no accident that this 15-year-old child can achieve such an achievement, how many people can see the sweat he has paid? At this age group, how many people can focus all their attention on football like Qiansheng?

"Hey, I'm getting taller." Neville flipped the page, glanced at it, and exclaimed.

Hodgson gave him a blank look, the 15-year-old child's body is still developing, what is the fuss about growing taller.

"How tall are you?" Hodgson asked.

"185 centimeters."

"What about weight?"

"82 kilograms."

"Well, pretty standard." Hodgson smiled with satisfaction.

", you seem to have grown taller." Kane, who walked behind Qiansheng, shouted as if he had discovered a new world.

Qiansheng raised his hand and waved back: "Not as tall as you, Harry, so the header will be handed over to you." ”

Kane immediately ran to Qiansheng's side, and said with a dry smile: "No matter how tall I am, I don't have as much bounce power as you, Qian, feed me more balls......"

"£1,000 a ball." Qiansheng didn't look at him, raised a finger and shook it.

"1000 is too high, 200."

"Lao Tzu's assists never bargain, don't pull down."

"Hey, hey, good, good, 1000 is 1000."

"Hehe, Harry, let's say okay first, pass the ball to you, if you can't score three times, I won't pass it to you."

"Huh? Why? ”

"It's not a matter of three." (To be continued.) )
