Chapter 151: Team Dinner (1)

Wang Li thinks he played well in the first half of the game!

In fact, two goals put the team ahead, and as a striker, isn't that enough?

But what is puzzling is that at halftime, manager Eriksen announced that Vassell was on the field!

"In the second half, the tactics remained the same, Vassell, you go and cooperate with Rooney, and you are still playing as a double striker." A simple sentence made Wang Li's heart sink to the bottom, and with Rooney, who would it be if he didn't end up by himself?

After Eriksen announced this, almost everyone in the team was stunned, and even the protagonist Vassell stuttered in surprise: "Old... Boss? You... It's about w... I? I'm playing? But—" he asked, pointing his right finger at himself, incredulous.

"Don't you want to play?" Erikson glared, and directly stifled Vassell's words, and he turned his head to look at Wang Li who frowned slightly next to him with a little weakness.

As Aston Villa's first striker, Vassell has a very thorough understanding of 'striker', and there is only one role in this position, and that is to score goals! No matter how skilled you are, how much applause you receive on the pitch or how much trouble you cause your opponent, those are all floating clouds, and only scoring goals can prove the value of a striker!

That's right, it's a goal!

And this black-haired kid contributed two goals in 45 minutes, and most of these two goals relied on his own ability!

Although he failed to get his hands on the ball for the vast majority of the first half, despite the fact that he did not work well with his team-mates, although he was rarely involved in defence, despite the ...... However, two goals have already covered up all the disadvantages and the light for everyone!

But now, the manager is going to replace him, how can this not make Vassell wonder?

In the locker room, Wang Li sat in the chair boredly, he knew that the team could not revolve around him, and in the team, he was indeed just a newcomer, but under the premise of his own good performance, the head coach still had to replace him, is this a necessary stage for newcomers? Are you kidding.

"Alan, don't care, maybe it's a good thing!" Seeing Wang Li's expression, Campbell walked over slowly, patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

Wang Li raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "Good thing? ”

"That's right! Maybe in the next game, the boss will reuse you! Campbell said sincerely. This is not without reason, the experienced Campbell, in terms of tactical vision is not much worse than the average coach, in the first half he watched Wang Li from the bench for 45 minutes The result is: this kid is very strong, and there is still room for energy!

Leave room to spare! What an appalling thing!

After training together for so long, the thing he can't see through the most is this brunette kid, he is always unexpected, obviously this Eriksen can definitely see this, so it is likely that he is also replaced for a kind of protection, the ability to protect the player from being acquired by the opponent, so that he can have more hole cards in the knockout round.

"Really?" Wang Liqiang smiled, "Thank you." ”

…………

As soon as the second half began, the fans in the audience found out that the brunette who scored twice in the first half was actually replaced, which is really surprising, don't England want to win? Come to think of it, this game doesn't matter at all for England.

However, the fans of the French team are gone!

If Croatia wins, France will have no hope of qualifying!

Therefore, they are furious!

The east stand of the stadium suddenly changed the cheers of the first half, and there was a sound of curses, and within a minute, several generations of Eriksen's relatives were greeted with noble greetings!

However, as a world-class manager, Eriksen doesn't care about this, the feelings of the fans are clouds, let alone the fans of other teams, only the team's results are the key.

In fact, Campbell is only half right, the reason why he replaced Wang Li is not all for the future game, this black-haired boy has obvious advantages, but the disadvantages are even more obvious, he found that this kid has not grown up, and now he can only be used as a surprise soldier, not as a main general, because when the opponent knows his shortcomings, as long as he does a good job of defending against the surname, it is difficult for him to play again.

What if he is played?

Croatia in the final stage of the first half, just sent a Simunic to defend closely, blocking his way to get the ball, which has already made him anxious, what can he do in the second half? Besides, even if you play well, what if you win the game, England is already top the group anyway, so there is no need at all.

As for whether the French team qualify or not, does that have to do with him Eriksen?

Although Wang Li was substituted, which surprised the Croatian team a little, but without this slow-perverted black-haired boy, their offense was even more unscrupulous. Croatia reversed their late streak in the first half with wave after wave of attacks on England's goal, and with 45 minutes remaining, they needed at least two goals to secure a win to qualify.

As for the match of the French team? Their opponent is the Swedes, so who expects those soft-footed shrimp to win?

The opportunity is in your own hands, it is the most reliable!

In the face of this kind of attack, England's young players were a little flustered, and the mistakes made the opponent almost score a few shots, but perhaps the Croatian team was too eager to score goals, and several good opportunities were hit, and the coach Baric on the sidelines stomped his feet, and the 70-year-old man was really not easy!

However, this old man is in good health, and he can last the whole game without a pacemaker. On the bench, the bored Wang Li silently thought that he was just waiting for the game to end now, and he couldn't play anyway, winning or losing had nothing to do with him, and it had nothing to do with the team's results.

Time passed slowly, and although the game on the field seemed to be passionate, it was far worse than the first half.

In the 75th minute, Croatia's attacking frenzy finally worked, taking advantage of a corner opportunity, Serna drove the ball to the back post, and Frank Lampard, who was defending in the front of the frustration, jumped up and did not touch the incoming ball, Tudor barely jumped to meet the ball, and Croatia equalised.

Unfortunately, before they could play any more, Rooney's mid-range shot in the penalty area knocked them to the bottom, and England came back to the top again, and at the same time, coach Baric received a desperate 'bad news': France beat Switzerland 3-1!

In other words, if they want to qualify, they will have to beat England, but there are less than 10 minutes left in the game, and the score is 3:2, oh, the opponent is ahead!

Towards the end of the game, Croatia's No. 11 Sokota took advantage of a one-on-one chance to rewrite the score to 3:3, but unfortunately, this did not change much at all.

…………

In the post-match best player selection, Wang Li won the title with an absolute advantage of 83.5%, even if he only played 45 minutes, and now in the hearts of French fans, he has become a savior.

Perhaps, they have long forgotten that in the England vs France match, it was this kid who scored the winning goal, otherwise the French team would never be so passive when the group stage is approaching!

The group stage of Group B is finally over, and in the dressing room, the players are ready to celebrate, and no matter what, it is a cause for celebration to win the group.

"Going out for a big meal?" Wang Li scratched his head and fell into the trouble of happiness, today he and Rita made an appointment to have a meal together. Maybe if it was before, Wang Li would definitely choose his teammates without hesitation, but this time, Rita, who made an appointment first, made him a little hesitant.

"Hahaha, Alan, do you have a date, is the little princess here?" When the playboy Bridget saw Wang Li's expression, he immediately thought of something and asked with his surname.

"Oh, no!"

"Really?" Rooney also leaned over and asked suspiciously.

"Not really!"

"Hey, the little princess didn't come, that's a pity." Rooney shook his head and said with joyful emotion: "I also said that I introduced Colleen to him today, and she told me several times." ”

"Colleen? Are you going to take Colleen with you? Wang Li asked in surprise.

"Of course, don't you know that David's wife is very strict and has to come to celebrate together, so everyone decided to bring their girlfriends." Rooney said rightly.

"Everyone? Who are you referring to? How did I not know? ”

"Because the little princess didn't come! You wouldn't want to take that beautiful agent with you! Bridget chimed in.

Wang Li smiled, "How do you know?" ”

“**!!” Bridget also raised his middle finger at Wang Li, "Alan, I also said that I have you and me as my companion today, so I am the only one!" You're not satisfied with having a little princess, you're so distracted! ”

Wang Li and Rooney shook their heads at the same time, and then both of them cast contemptuous glances at Bridget, it is rare for someone with such thick skin to be so thick-skinned, and all England knows that Bridget is the most attentive in the team!
