Entering the locker room, Lin Yun immediately received everyone's attention.
Lampard, Rooney, Defoe, Welbeck, Ashley Cole...
Two months ago, the characters that Lin Yun could only look up to on TV were now standing beside him, looking at him with curious eyes.
They couldn't help but be curious.
Most of these people have experienced becoming famous at a young age, but for someone like Lin Yun who became famous so quickly and exaggeratedly...it seems that there is only one Rooney.
Wilshere put his arm around Lin Yun's shoulders and said to everyone: "Guys, this is our new member. I guess no introduction is needed, right?"
"Of course not," Gerald came over and stretched out his hand, "Welcome, Lin."
Lin Yun reached out and shook his hand, "Thank you."
Others also spoke out.
"welcome."
"I watched the game against Bayern, and he played well."
"I heard that you scored ten goals in one game. Is it true?"
"Let me choke you, you are younger than on TV..."
Most of the people were very friendly, only a few forwards had unnatural expressions, but at least they didn't show any obvious hostility.
Of course, just because they are good at superficial skills does not mean that they really recognize Lin Yun.
The England national team, known as the European and Chinese team in the world, has not missed every competition and is one of the favorites, but almost every time it goes home in disgrace. It has not had a good result in so many years, but After all, they won a World Cup in 1966 and are the birthplace of modern football. Coupled with the success of the Premier League and the praise of the media, this group of people is actually very proud.
If you want to convince them, you can only rely on your strength.
Others are observing him, and he is observing others.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and factional disputes are inevitable in every national team.
In addition to the most famous civil strife in the Netherlands, Italy has the three pillars of Inter Milan, A Milan, and Juventus. Spain has always had a dispute between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Even Germany, which seems to be the most unified, has troubles between Bayern and Dortmund from time to time. Awkwardness among team players.
In the early days of England, the Manchester United faction and the Liverpool faction were equally divided. Looking at it, the entire Three Lions army was almost composed of people from these two teams. Later, with the rise of Chelsea, John Terry, Lan 8 and others joined, and it became a double red, one blue and three. Divide the world.
As of now, Gerrard, Lampard, and Rooney are the well-deserved Big Three in the locker room. If newcomers join, most of them will choose one of them to go to the dock.
As for Arsenal, although they have always had a place in the national team, they are obviously not strong enough to form a mountain.
As far as Hodgson's class is concerned, at most there were three shooters, Theo Walcott, Chamberlain and Wilshere, who were selected at the same time. Although Lin Yun is now included, Walcott was abandoned by Huo Taigong. Arsenal's numbers in the national team haven't increased much.
Veterans such as Gerrard and Lampard keenly feel the difference.
Logically speaking, whether in Arsenal or the national team, Chamberlain and Wilshere are the seniors, and Lin Yun is the newcomer. He should be their follower, but looking at the exchanges between the three, it seems that they are vaguely. Led by Lin Yun.
This is a bit interesting...
The whole world knows that Wenger has always trained Wilshere as the captain, and this kid does have some leadership qualities in him, but now he is willing to be Lin Yun's younger brother?
There are at most two reasons. Either Lin Yun is Wenger's illegitimate son, or Lin Yun's ability is so strong that the two of them are completely convinced.
They used the hair on their feet to figure out the reason.
Shuangde glanced at each other vaguely, and both clearly understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
This kid must really be something...
Lin Yun came to his wardrobe and began to change equipment.
No. 11 is now worn by Welbeck, while No. 9, representing the main forward, belongs to Sturridge. As for popular numbers such as No. 7 and No. 10, it is naturally impossible to leave them empty. Lin Yun can only wear the remaining numbers. I chose No. 22 among the numbers.
Don't ask, just ask because of Kaka.
What he likes most is actually the No. 9 jersey, and he is quite confident that that jersey will be his own soon.
After preparations were completed, everyone came to the training ground in twos and threes.
Hodgson was wearing sportswear and holding a folder under his arm. He waited until everyone arrived before speaking.
"Welcome everyone back to the team. Now, let us forget everything about the club and work together for a common goal! The next two games are all away games. We will be very hard, but that should not be a reason for us to slack off... ...Oh, I seem to have forgotten something? Lin, have you introduced yourself to everyone?"
"Yes, BOSS, we already know each other."
"Very good, but what you need to do is not just to get to know each other, but to become the closest comrades in the shortest possible time, because what we are about to face is the most cruel battle in the football world!
World Cup qualifying games!
You are all professional players and you should know how crazy a player can be for the World Cup!
Now, get moving..."
After Hodgson finished beeping, his assistant Lewington began to lead everyone to warm up.
Because he was about to go on an expedition, he did not arrange high-intensity physical training. Hodgson specially arranged an intra-team match in the spared time.
Isn't this why each team's roster of up to twenty-three people is prepared for this?
Lin Yun did not get the main team vest, while Wilshere and Chamberlain were assigned to the main team.
This made the two of them feel a little embarrassed.
Looking at Sturridge and Defoe on the main team, and then looking at Lin Yun on the opposite side, I couldn't help but have a strange emotion similar to "the master is wandering, the clown is in the palace."
But after adjusting their mentality, the two of them couldn't help but smile maliciously.
On the main team, in addition to Defoe and Sturridge leading the front line, Rooney is also ambushing behind the two. The midfielder is Chamberlain, Gerrard, Wilshere, and the four backs are Walker, Smalling and Bayley. Ens, Ashley Cole, goalkeeper Joe Hart.
On the bench, Lin Yun and Welbeck are at the front, followed by Lampard, Cleverley, Carrick and others.
A whistle blows and the game begins.
The main team kicks off first.
After a scramble in the midfield, the ball was passed to the front of the penalty area of the substitute team. Sturridge and Defoe opened up space in the penalty area. Rooney saw the opportunity and immediately fired a shot.
The football was so fast that Cahill was too late to block it. Unfortunately, he missed the mark and missed the post and flew out of the baseline.
Goal kick taken by the substitutes.
Foster directly kicked the ball into the main team's half. Lampard grabbed the ball before Wilshere could get it and passed it to Carrick. Carrick passed the ball without stopping.
It seemed like a casual kick, but it was actually well-aimed.
The football fell to the left side of the small penalty area.
All the players in the rear who were not involved in this attack and defense basically looked at Lin Yun at this moment.
Everyone has the same idea about this newly emerged demon star.
Is he really that strong?
Lin Yun immediately used practical actions to answer everyone's questions.
Almost as soon as Carrick passed the ball, he immediately turned around and accelerated to get rid of Smalling's close defense.
The football fell and Baynes was the first to rush to the rescue.
Not only did he react quickly, but he was also quite a thief, specifically blocking Lin Yun's path.
Then everyone clearly saw his embarrassed appearance as he was knocked to the side like a little chicken.
The football landed and bounced up. Lin Yun knocked Baynes away, crossed the air with his left foot, and volleyed decisively.
There was a "crack" sound.
Just like Rooney's shot, this shot also rubbed the goal post, but it rubbed the inside post.
Joe Hart responded with a save, but his save did nothing except make himself look less stupid.
The entire training ground was suddenly filled with an eerie silence at this moment.
Everyone was a little confused.
Henry once said that he was stunned by Messi when he was training at Barcelona. At that time, everyone thought he was bragging, but now, they suddenly understand Henry's mood.
This boy is inhuman.
"Beep!"
A sharp whistle broke the silence.
"Foul first, the goal is invalid!"
Only then did everyone have time to look at Baynes who was lying on the ground.
This guy had a doubtful expression on his face, as if he still couldn't figure out why he was sitting on the ground.
Lin Yun smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Are you okay?"
"Huh? Oh, it's okay."
Lin Yun began to retreat, but everyone's eyes were still following him intentionally or unintentionally.
For unfamiliar opponents or teammates, everyone naturally starts to put him on the players they are familiar with first.
Ashley Cole and Lampard looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and a name came to mind at the same time.
Drogba.
Rooney's eyes flashed.
Lin Yun's familiar volley shooting action made it difficult for him not to think of his current teammate who is the top scorer.
Van Persie.
Gerrard also has his own reference point, which comes from Lin Yun's astute movement and his almost innate ability to catch fighters.
Owen...
Hodgson, Chamberlain, Wilshere and others who are familiar with Lin Yun certainly don't have so many messy ideas.
Speed, strength, movement, shooting skills, momentum, this is the pentagonal shooter Lin Yun they are familiar with.
In the end, the well-informed Gerrard was the first to recover.
He clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone is playing well, keep going!"
Joe Hart woke up from a dream, quickly picked up the football and drove out quickly.
There is actually not a big gap in strength between the main team and the substitute team. After Lin Yun and Rooney knocked down the mountain and shocked the tiger respectively, there were not many opportunities for both sides.
Neither Lin Yun nor Welbeck was the king of sticks, so they began to drop back significantly to support the midfield and backcourt.
The main team quickly gained the upper hand and the football was pushed to the front of the penalty area.
Rooney was much calmer this time. After avoiding the angle, he did not kick blindly. Instead, he suddenly hit the ball to Gerrard and then rushed into the penalty area.
His original intention was to play a one-two with Gerrard and let the Jayhawks help him pick the ball in front of him. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that Gerrard was not polite at all when he hit the ball that he didn't want to play, and hit the ball that rolled in front of him. Football is just a blast without thinking.
Foster was much more alert than Rooney. He guessed from the beginning that this idiot would definitely take a long shot, so he made a timely save and steadily caught the ball in his arms.
Gerrard and Rooney kicked the turf in frustration at the same time, and Foster quickly kicked the ball away.
Wilshere did not let Lampard take advantage this time and gave the ball to Chamberlain first. Unfortunately, Chamberlain failed to live up to his expectations and lost the ball in two steps. The ball came to the feet of the substitute team.
Cleverley, who successfully stole the ball, passed the ball forward to Lin Yun. Lin Yun actively cooperated with Welbeck and then passed the ball to the left.
Cahill came up from behind, took the ball and walked away.
After Lin Yun passed the ball, he immediately ran into the penalty area and headed towards the goal with Heibei in two directions.
Cahill was very powerful, bringing the ball steadily to the ribs of the penalty area, and then decisively lifted the ball into the penalty area.
Welbeck and Baines took off together to compete for high points. The ball was touched by one of them. It was neither cleared nor flew towards the goal, but fell weakly to the side.
Smalling immediately rushed forward to tip the ball to the goalkeeper, but Lin Yun also rushed over and pushed him aside with a squeeze.
After getting stuck, the next thing is simple.
Stopped the ball with his chest and then volleyed again.
Joe Hart also made a save this time, and was lucky enough to hit the football. Unfortunately, the save was not very accurate. The football hit the upper edge of his palm, changed its direction slightly and still flew into the goal.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded again, but this time it was the goal whistle.
Welbeck turned his head and looked at Lin Yun like a monster.
This... counts as my own assist, right?
Lin Yun just made a fist with his right hand and lightly punched the air twice.
It was just a training goal. He didn't think too much about it, but he didn't expect his teammates to rush towards him one by one like crazy.
“That’s awesome, bro!”
"Your frame doesn't look very big. How can you be so strong?"
"This strength is not much different from Wayne's, right?"
"Haha, let them compare and you will know. I feel they are on the same level."
He does not mean that.
Rooney had long wanted to compete with Lin Yun, but just now he thought that since everyone was a forward, the only way to compete was to score goals, but now that he sees how powerful Lin Yun is, he also wants to meet him head-on. one time.
So when the game started again, Xiaopang took the initiative to retreat and found Lin Yun.
Naturally, everyone tacitly understood it and deliberately created opportunities for them to fight.
Lin Yun himself was actually very curious.
Speaking of powerful forwards, everyone's first thoughts are Vieri and Drogba, or Adriano and Ibrahimovic. Few people think of Rooney, but in fact, Lu Xiaopang is also a famous powerful forward, but maybe Because he is a flexible fat man, many people ignore his tank attributes.
The two soon had their first collision.
Shoulders bump into each other, hands push hands, they are evenly matched...
Although they were mentally prepared, everyone couldn't help but feel outrageous when they saw Lin Yun, who was of a standard figure, and Rooney, who was as built as a pickup truck, fighting equally in physical confrontation.
It was probably the weird feeling of witnessing the Yushu Linfeng Jin Machao and the five big and three thick Mang Zhangfei fighting for three days and three nights with no outcome.
Hodgson looked at this scene with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
This wave is stable...
