Chapter 125: Strength Earns Respect (2)

The next day, the big stars of this call-up came to Wembley Stadium one after another.

On this morning, Paul. Robinson, Jamie. Carragher, Joe. Cole and the others came, and when they entered the stadium, Wang Li was training free kicks, looking at these unfamiliar faces, he had the heart to step forward to say hello, but he didn't know what to say.

The other players gathered in twos and threes, laughing and talking to each other, but he was the only one on the pitch who was practicing alone, as a newcomer to the top league, a newcomer to the England team, he did have an invisible gap with these teammates.

Wang Li really hopes to see a familiar person now, so that he can get rid of this embarrassment, human beings live in groups, and no one likes to be left out of the crowd by themselves. In the England team, Wang Li only knew Beckham, and it was somewhat ridiculous that they had only met once, but Beckham had become the person he knew best.

At this time, there was a player wearing training clothes on the sidelines slowly walked towards the stadium, Wang Li turned his head to look, he had neat short hair, slightly slender cheeks, natural drooping eyes, and two deep wrinkles on his forehead, this is England's golden boy, England's top scorer, Liverpool's star --- Michael. Irving!

Owen is definitely Wang Li's biggest rival in the England team, and even no matter how well Wang Li plays, it is difficult to shake Owen's position in the England team, this is the honor and strength of a superstar, even if Owen is not in good shape, Eriksen will not let him stay on the bench, and will even sacrifice a lot in order to get him back to form!

Seeing Owen walking towards the court, Wang Li stared at his figure, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, at this stage, from Wang Li's point of view, Owen is his senior, his target, and his competitor, although maybe Owen himself does not think so.

It would be a wonderful thing to beat this kind of world-class superstar on the pitch, and in Wang Li's heart, in the entire England team, only Owen is the person he values the most, just because Owen is a striker, they are players in the same position.

Either it was a feeling, or Wang Li's eyes were too straightforward, and after greeting his teammates next to him, Owen turned his head directly to look at Wang Li. Unexpectedly, Owen didn't pay any attention to Wang Li like Rooney, but walked straight in his direction.

"Alan. King? David also mentioned you to me a few days ago, I heard that you have filmed commercials together? Owen didn't care about Wang Li's eyes, but said to him with a smile anyway.

For a star like Owen, in the national team, there is no competitive pressure at all, and to have better skilled players to join the team will only make the team stronger, in order to make the England team achieve better results, even if they sacrifice a little bit What does it matter, the England team has been weak in the national competition, the results are not up and down, for these big stars, there is nothing more exciting than winning a European Cup or even the Big Ears Cup!

Seeing Owen's friendly expression, Wang Li smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "Well, just a few days ago, it was a foreign communication company. ”

"Telecom company?" Owen frowned, and said with some surprise: "It's really rare!" ”

In fact, it is no wonder that Owen feels this way, as far as England is concerned, the communications industry is a low-end industry, and most of them are small companies with dozens of people, relying on the development of various support technologies or formations to keep the company running.

In European countries, per capita communication consumption is very low, even if it is an international long-distance distance, it only takes about 2 cents (about 0.1 yuan) a minute, which makes those communication giants for the development of the company, can only cooperate with mobile phone manufacturers, which makes pure communication companies become more and more rare, even if the development of the company is maintained, it is impossible to invite football stars like Wang Li to shoot advertisements. If you let them know that there is an ancient country in the far east, and it even costs two pounds a minute to make an international call, I don't know what kind of expression they will show.

"You're just practicing here by yourself? When did it come? ”

"Yesterday." Wang Li smiled slightly, "You also saw it, I am not familiar with other people. ”

"When training starts tomorrow, you have to show your strength, I've seen your playing video, the technique is very good, only strength can convince those young people, that's how it is on the football field." Owen looked at Wang Li's expression and said instructively.

"Thank you." Wang Li nodded, thanked Owen for his words, and then frowned slightly and asked, "Michael, do you know the content of the head coach's training this time?" Why don't you see a fan or reporter on the sidelines? Are they being left out? ”

Owen propped his chin on two fingers, "I don't know, maybe it's a closed training?" He thought for a moment and continued: "Either way, you have to trust the Swede, although Eriksen is not very good-tempered, his coaching quality can be trusted, I can guarantee that. ”

"Perhaps, at least better than Dave. Jones Strong. "Thinking of his current situation in Wolverhampton, Wang Li has a feeling of 'rabbit dead dog cooking', now the team is relegated without worry, and he can't get the chance to play.

"You're not doing well in Wolverhampton?" Owen pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, "If you don't come to Liverpool next season, the fans will definitely welcome you." ”

"Really? Maybe I'll think about it. Seeing that Owen actually 'poached' in person, Wang Li also laughed, he found that these big-name stars are also like ordinary people, very easy to communicate, except for Rooney, of course, but now Rooney is not a big-name star at all.

…………

In fact, head coach Eriksen took this pre-war training camp very seriously, and in order not to let various media disturb this pre-war run-in training, he decided to use closed training.

In these days, he needs to understand the technical characteristics and form of each player, and then develop a tactical plan accordingly, in short, Eriksen has a lot of work, so he doesn't have time to deal with the annoying reporters.

For this European Championship, although the FA gave him the bottom line of the quarterfinals, it was not easy for Eriksen to achieve this goal.

In recent years, the England team has been underperforming on the international stage, although there are reasons for this, but objectively speaking, the traditional style of play is too backward, which is not only seen by outsiders, but also known by the English.

Most of the Premier League players are physically strong and average players, such as Rooney, Gerrard, etc., which brings a problem, and it is very difficult for the English team to change their style of play. Although some players were also delicate on their feet, like Pennant of Leeds United, in the end, Eriksen gave up.

In midfield there is David. With Beckham's support, the attacking power of the England team has definitely risen by more than one notch, and it is difficult for these technical attacking players to integrate into the team without changing their tactical play, even if they join the England team and play, it will probably be a tragedy.

Therefore, in the training camp of this European Championship, Eriksen only chose Wang Li, who has performed extremely well in the recent Premier League, as a supplement to the team's attack.

"Or can he be England's wonder man, or will he not get any playing time at all?" At this time, Erikson, who was sitting in the office, was also having a headache for Wang Li's use, and he wanted to give up, but he was a little reluctant.

…………

It was finally the evening of May 15th, and the twenty-three people who were called up this time were in addition to Saul. Except for Campbell, who didn't come on leave, everyone else arrived.

The next day, under Eriksen's guidance, the players did their first training session on the pitch was group matching, and he needed to get an in-depth understanding of the ability of the new team members to play and the current form of the players through a real match.
