Chapter Forty-Six: A Headache for Happiness!

Due to the influence of the English Premier League and the strong touting ability of the British media, every training camp of the "Three Lions" can be said to have touched the hearts of countless fans around the world, and this is the reason why Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen can cause such a big sensation this time.

Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen, who were selected for the first time in the England team's training list, were like two curious babies, who had a big tour of the St. George's Park training base that day, and when they returned to the hotel, they found that Walcott and Layton Bynes, the "Gunners" internationals, had also arrived.

Layton Baines only joined Arsenal this season, and the left-back who became famous at Everton was the successor that "Professor" Wenger had been looking for many years after losing Ashley Cole, but when he met Leeds United in the FA Cup, Baines was in the stage of recuperation and could not catch up, and the "Gunners" who were playing at home at that time really didn't look up to Leeds United, and Wenger did not pay enough attention to the arrangement, and finally fell into a gutter and capsized.

"Little Tiger" Walcott was deeply impressed by Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen, the young midfielder combination of the "Young Guard", and greeted them with a smile after seeing the two of them, the twenty-three-year-old Walcott is not very old, but he is already a "veteran" on the green field when he became famous, and he was eliminated from the FA Cup by Leeds United for a variety of reasonsOtherwise, in terms of the feud between the "Gunners" Arsenal and the "Red Devils" Manchester United, the internationals of the two teams can simply become enemies.

Under the call of Frank Lampard and Gerrard, the players who arrived had a dinner in the hotel that night, at this time Wang Tiezhu can also see the distribution of English football completely, the strongest of which is still the "Red Devils" Manchester United, including Rooney, Ashley Young, Tom Cleverley, Phil Jones and Leo Ferdinand who came to help with injuries, Manchester United sent five internationals to the England team, and these five should be selected for the 23-man squad.

The second is the "blue moon" Manchester City that is currently competing with Manchester United for the league title, Barry, Joe Hart, Hargreaves, and Richards are all very strong players, and Manchester City's real strength is their foreign aid, Aguero, David Silva, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Tevez and other stars are the reason why Manchester City is strong.

Chelsea are in third place, with Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and John Terry also being the main players in the England national team.

In addition, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Leeds each have two people selected, but compared to Liverpool's Gerrard, Stuart Downing, Arsenal's Walcott, Leiton Bynes, Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen can finally be selected for the 23-man squad is still unknown, after all, the two of them are players from the second division of the "Youth Guard", and they are far inferior in terms of strength, experience, and popularity.

Of course, everyone who can be selected for the 26-man squad has a chance, after all, there are still two months before the start of the European Championships, there are still a few friendly matches to be played during this period, everyone has a chance to perform, plus the England team has just changed the manager, who can better meet the tactical requirements in Hodgson's mind.

These stars of the England team have a tradition of having dinners, and every time they train together, they will do it once as long as everyone is there, the purpose is nothing more than to let everyone have an opportunity to get to know each other, the training period of the national team is still too short, and the time for these stars to get acquainted with each other is limited, and there is only rest time to use in addition to training.

Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen are still newcomers, and they have not been excluded in the England team in any way, because no one sees them as competitors at all, even if everyone knows that these two boys have great potential, but if they want to threaten their position, they will have to wait until the "Young Guards" return to the Super League next season.

The next day's training session, England's new boss Roy Hodgson appeared in front of the England stars with his assistants.

Compared to his predecessor Fabio Capello, Hodgson's coaching resume is not so glorious, but he is also an unrelenting veteran coach with a wealth of coaching experience, having achieved club success in Sweden, leading Malmo to two league titles and two cup titles, and then leading the Swiss national team to the round of 16 of the World Cup in the United States in 1994 and the quarterfinals of the European Championship in 1996, and also led Fulham to the Europa League final in England. Although he was ultimately defeated by Atletico Madrid in Spain, Hodgson's coaching ability won the recognition of English football circles.

After Hodgson was sacked after only half a season in charge of Liverpool, and then went to West Bromwich Albion to coach, this season West Bromwich Albion this weak team although they have not been able to enter the European arena, but there is no risk of relegation at all, even if Hodgson leaves halfway to become the new manager of the England team, this team will not have any problems.

Standing in front of a group of sub-stars, Hodgson touched his big British nose, and smiled: "I think you all know me, and I know you, so let's not introduce ourselves, I'll just talk about it, this training camp is mainly for the European Cup in Poland and Ukraine this summer." There are veterans who have been famous for a long time, and there are young lads who are just starting out, but in my case, your previous points are all reset to zero, you need to perform well and earn a place for yourself! ”

Hodgson paused when he said this, and said with a very serious face: "Moreover, I promise, each and every one of you has the opportunity to go to Ukraine with me, and what you have to do is very simple, just show me your best side!" Alright, let's start training! ”

Among the several coaches standing next to Hodgson, the most famous is of course Stuart Pearce, the head coach of the British Olympic team, who also serves as the head coach of the England U23 national team, but at this time, the British Olympic team and the U23 national team did not have training tasks, so he became Hodgson's assistant, and the most important thing is that almost everyone in the current England team was selected by him, in fact, he provided Hodgson with a detailed list, Twenty-six were then selected by Hodgson.

Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen can be selected, in fact, it is also thanks to Pierce, the head coach of the British Olympic team has even thought that once these two boys cannot enter Hodgson's eyes, then he will transfer these two boys to his national Olympic team, their strength is definitely enough.

After the training began, Wang Tiezhu and Jonny Hausen soon found that the training intensity of the England team was somewhat inferior to that of Leeds United, but the quality required was higher, just like a passing and receiving training, which would require the ball to be passed to which position, and what kind of control the player should achieve when receiving the ball, etc., and the coach was making detailed records on the side.

However, these stars of the England team are really strong, even a rough-looking player like Terry can do a good job of passing and receiving the ball, Jonny Hausen was originally a midfielder with strong personal ability, and these sub-trainings are not difficult for him, but Wang Tiezhu is very happy, if it weren't for his recent skill points added to the surname of the receiver, otherwise he might really make a fool of himself.

After the long-range shooting training was over, Wang Tiezhu's performance won the praise of all the players, and Terry even hugged Wang Tiezhu and laughed: "Shaq, your kid's long-range shooting ability is really not weak!" In this way, our England team has a third heavy artillery in addition to Frank and Steven! ”

At present, there are many people in the England team who have good long-range shooting ability, but in addition to Lampard and Gerrard, people such as Cleverley, Baines, Hargreaves, Rooney and others are just average.

However, Wang Tiezhu's long-range shooting ability of this recruit is impressive, his two sets of 20 long-range shots, in addition to three kicks flying, seventeen times have penetrated the goalkeeper Joe Hart's ten fingers, as long as it is within the range of the goal frame, Joe Hart can't even save a ball.

After a morning of training, the players began to take a lunch break, and in the afternoon, Hodgson divided the players into two teams and started to play against each other.

This time Wang Tiezhu's performance as a back is even better, his strong defensive ability has been brought into full play, although it is difficult to snatch the ball directly from the opponent's feet in a one-on-one situation, after all, these stars of the England team are not given in vain, but his running ability allows him to have a larger range of activities, and his defensive coverage is wider, and he can always defend every time the opponent attacks, which is enough.

In order to win the trust of the new coach Hodgson, this group of England stars is also serious enough on the training ground, after the end of the training on the 22nd, the training on the 23rd has become easy, just some tactical drills, especially the small area of cooperation is regarded as the focus.

This time, the 26 manpower who were in a hurry to train are still not in danger of being eliminated for the time being, there is still time before the European Cup, and they still have enough time to show themselves, but this also depends on their performance in training.

The friendly match between England and the Netherlands is scheduled for the 24th, and the friendly match between them and the Spanish team is on the 27th, although they are all at home, but the pressure on the England team is still not small, after all, the team is in a transition stage, the new coach Hodgson's coaching philosophy has not been able to take root in this team, but the "iron handsome" Capello's defensive counterattack tactics have become the instinct of the England team.

That night, the hotel conference room was full of the team's coaches, Hodgson was studying the lineup for tomorrow's game against the Netherlands with his coaching team, because the time was pressing, so Hodgson did not plan to change the team's current tactics, it is simply not realistic to overturn it all over again, so just decide the team's lineup for the game.

For today's England team, the forward line is the least need to discuss, as long as Rooney is not injured, he will definitely occupy a starting position, "chubby" strong fighting spirit and his hard work on the field is something that any manager will not miss, and another striker on Walcott or Darren Bent can do it, as long as they are in good shape.

And the team's back line has not made any major changes, Ashley Cole, Glen Johnson, Terry, Ferdinand are all the main players, but Ferdinand is currently injured and cannot play, considering that Phil Jones is still too young, so this starting opportunity was given to Gary Cahill of the Bolton team.

What really makes Hodgson scratch their heads is the team's midfield, Frank Lampard, Gerrard have to play, in addition to Ashley Young, Lennon, Cleverley, Downing, Barry, Jonny Hausen, Wang Tiezhu on everyone makes sense, and even Baines, who joined the team as a left-back, can also play left midfield, but in the end he can only choose two people, who is really difficult to choose.

At present, English football, relatively speaking, has really ushered in an era of midfielder explosion, forwards and defenders are only a few of the best, but this midfielder is really difficult to choose, Hodgson suddenly felt a little headache, but the feeling of being in charge of the national team is still quite happy.
