Chapter 126: Strength Earns Respect (3)

It was England's first training match and one that manager Christian Eriksen would watch from start to finish, so both the big names and the newcomers were ready to play their part to earn their place in the squad and the manager's attention.

Wang Li was assigned to the bench group, and he and Rooney will be partners as the forward double of the substitute group, and the media did not know that the England duo they fantasized about was easily realized by Eriksen.

In the bench group, the midfielders were Chelsea greats Frank Lampard, Joe Murphy. Cole, Manchester United's Bart and Newcastle's Dier, and in the back line, Jamie Brown. Carragher captained the bench to lead the defence, along with Tottenham Hotspur's Kim, Chelsea's Brigi and John Terry, and Tottenham's goalkeeper Paul. Robinson is in charge of defending the goal.

This substitute squad alone can intimidate most of the Premier League teams!

It can be seen that the luxury of the England team is by no means comparable to that of ordinary teams, but it is this kind of luxury squad that has won every international competition, which must be said, which is indeed a bit ironic.

Ten minutes had passed on the pitch, and both the main team and the substitute team had played at a 12-point level, and they all wanted to show their ability in front of Eriksen, so the game was very intense. In fact, there is not much difference between the main team and the substitute team on the field, and in general, it is just that the main team has a few more big-name stars, but when the big-name stars do not have a 'flash of inspiration', they are not much different from the level of these ordinary players.

The main striker of the team, Michael. Owen and Vassell had no way to defend themselves against the bench defenders, and there was no tacit understanding between the so-called England duo Wang Li and Wayne Rooney, and their attacks were no threat at all.

At this time, the midfield confrontation has become the focus of the fight on the field, on one side is the star midfielder led by Gerrard, Beckham, Scholes, Hargreaves are all very strong in personal strength, their occasional surprise attacks will pose a strong threat to the substitute team, but Lampard's 'blue collar' midfield should not be underestimated, their style is very tough, and the technical difference is not big, and it has also caused a lot of trouble for the main team.

But as far as Wang Li is concerned, Eriksen's fears have become true. Wang Li is a technical striker, and his position is closer to that of a shadow striker, so it is difficult for him to match with these traditional English players. And because he still has so little experience in the game, and the time he has been playing for too short a time, he can't match these teammates in terms of tactical concept, awareness or coordination. At Wolverhampton, the whole team revolved around him and couldn't notice anything, but now on the pitch he feels out of place.

Even the players on the bench team, everyone's reputation will not be worse than him, they are also very confident in their own strength, and Wang Li is not familiar with it, the team is impossible to run around Wang Li, which makes Wang Li unable to play his strength at all, just constantly wandering in the front court, but under the defense of the star defenders of the main team, he can't run out of position at all, let alone get the ball and play.

Wang Li knows that if this continues, his status in the heart of the head coach will definitely plummet, and his teammates will also think that he is 'mixed' in and treated coldly, he doesn't want this to happen, but near the opponent's big penalty area, the regional defense composed of several ace guards of the main team has a very obvious effect, at least for Wang Li, so he can't run out of position near here, and he can only retreat to get the ball.

Rooney, who was in the front court, looked down on Wang Li even more when he saw him, 'This black-haired kid is really just a useless guy', he thought silently in his heart.

But Eriksen on the sidelines nodded, and then took out a notebook to record something, as a head coach, Eriksen has already done an in-depth understanding of every player in the team before, he knows very well the reason why Wang Li can't play now, and the brunette kid on the field can know his situation and try to change him, which shows that he is very smart and knows how to play with his head, which is an indispensable quality in the success of the stars.

…………

Effort will always pay off, and Wang Li's opportunity to perform finally came in the twenty-fifth minute of the training match.

Joe. Cole tackled David Beckham's dribble at the back and stabbed straight to Terry, who received the ball and drove the ball into midfield before Vassell counter-attacked, where Lampard grabbed the spot, stopped the ball at his feet and looked into the side's half.

Offense from the bench!

The retreating Wang Li was at the front of the big penalty area, and he saw this opportunity and suddenly shook off Philip. Neville, running sideways to the left. However, Philip will not be thrown away so easily, his speed is very fast, although it is difficult to catch up with Wang Li, but it does not let him pull back much.

At this time, he found that Wang Li's body suddenly stopped, as if he was not affected by his habitual surname at all, and ran directly to the right, Philip opened his mouth in surprise and watched Wang Li pass by him, he ran forward too fast, there was no way to stop at once, and he could only turn his head to look at Wang Li's back.

After shaking off Philip, Wang Li finally ran out of a gap.

At this time, the ball reached the feet of Bart, and seeing that the black-haired boy on the field had a good position, he kicked the ball to the ground, and the ball flew quickly in the direction of Wang Li against the turf. As a member of the Manchester United team, in that Old Trafford game, Bart has already seen Wang Li's skills, even if Wang Li has not played before, he still believes that this kid will never let himself down.

In order to receive this pass more securely, Wang Li ran directly to the ball. Neville followed, he knew Wang Li's strength very well, and he must not let him get the ball easily, otherwise the goal might be dangerous, until now, Gary still clearly remembers this kid's solo break in Manchester United, and scored three goals in a row, that kind of unbelievable action, crazy imagination, made Gary feel incredible at the same time, and also had admiration in his heart.

In the face of such an imaginative and extremely skilled player, even if he is not yet eighteen years old, how can Gary not defend with all his might!

…………

Although it was only a blink of an eye from the kick of the ball to the time it approached Wang Li's body, it was enough time for him to react.

I saw Wang Li's body, and instantly completed a 180-degree turn along the direction of the ball's rolling, and then knocked the ball to the left with his left foot, and after turning around, he bypassed Gary, who had not yet been able to react, and chased the ball again.

Wonderful!

It's so exciting!

The gap between the video broadcast and the live game is too big, and the players who saw Wang Li's action all had this idea at the same time!

Wang Li's movements just now were so beautiful, clean and neat, he didn't waste any superfluous movements at all, and went straight past Gary. Neville, a wonderful man scored the ball.

On the sidelines, Eriksen opened his mouth wide and stood up directly. He looked at Wang Li who was still dribbling forward in the field with some disbelief, although the pass just now seemed very simple, but as a professional in the field of football, he knew very well the difficulty of this kind of ball.

A quick turn alone can stump most people, let alone move later, and as long as the ball deviates a little, it will be difficult for Wang Li to chase the ball.

Although modern football concepts often pursue speed, speed, and do not waste superfluous movements, but how many people really do this, it is not that the players like fancy moves, but that they simply can't do a straightforward attack, which is much more difficult than the fancy way of passing!
