Chapter 305 Who will be eliminated?

In terms of surname, Li Tongfan is a very single man!

Therefore, although the liver trembled by the two bloody skeleton reminder boxes, since he has gritted his teeth and accepted the task of the bull-level system [Gloring on the Top of Europe], old Li Suo no longer looked forward and backward to imagine how miserable it would be if he could not complete this task. Instead, he quickly calmed down and thought about how to solve the problem. Law.

Li Tongfan obviously has no time and energy to manage the things in Newcastle, so he can only temporarily hand over the full power to the assistant coach Alan Shearer, and then devote all his thoughts to the preparation of the Three Lions for the European Cup.

Of course, the first thing is to select the members of the national team.

As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpe your tools! If you want to win under such harsh restrictions as [Gloring on the Top of Europe], you must do your best to be fully prepared from the first second of the matter. According to the rules of UEFA, all teams that advance to the 2008 European Cup must submit their 23-man list by June 8.

Today is June 2nd, and it's almost time to submit the final list.

Previously, because Li Tongfan focused on the national team, all inspection of players was basically handled by assistant coach Wiener Bulls. The conscientious old madman has carefully sorted out the inspection report of more than 20 rounds of the Premier League this season and handed it to Li Tongfan three days ago.

This is a collection of more than 200 pages of picture materials, and even brought ten video videos that have been edited and explained in detail. It is no exaggeration to say that this set of materials named "Detailed English Team's Candidate List" by the old madman is slowly impregnated with Wiener Bulls' love for English football.

However, the basis for Li Tongfan's selection of the national team players in this period is not here.

Because, for Li Laoli, who has accepted the task of the bull-level system [Glorious on the Top of Europe], only the FM2008 system is the most reliable. Therefore, the 23 lucky players of England who were finally selected into the Three Lions will be selected from the list of candidates listed by the system.

After FM2008 enters the national team mode, the computer screen will show a list of candidates for the national team of hundreds of people, and will give a relevant evaluation to each person. At the same time, the function of data comparison between players will be added, so that Li Tongfan can do the greatest extent when selecting the main players. "Excellent admission".

After more than two hours of careful comparison of the data and the performance of each player in the just-concluded 07-08 season, Li Tongfan finally determined the list of 30 people.

The reason why there are 7 more people is that there are still more than ten days before the first game in England, and the status of the players may fluctuate greatly.

Because the system data query function is turned off, Lao Li can no longer obtain a cheating method that predicts the player's future state for a certain time through inquiry, so a certain number of people must be counted as reserve. In this way, if someone does not perform well in the warm-up match after the Three Lions go to Austria, Li Tongfan will have another chance to readjust the list.

Such a step-by-step streamlined method is actually a common method for every coach participating in the European Cup to screen players, which is not Lao Li's original.

The new list of 30 players for the England team is as follows:

Goalkeeper - Manchester City young player Joe Hart.

Xiao Qiao is a newcomer supported by Li Tongfan in charge of the Three Lions. He has also performed well in the previous national team competitions, and it is undisputed to be selected; Liverpool young player Carson.

During the period of Jo Hart's absence due to injury, the 23-year-old national team rookie performed very well. Li Tongfan once again cast a vote of confidence in Carson; Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

The surname is modest, and the experience of the competition is worthy of Lao Li's trust; Jokland, the goalkeeper of Wigan Athletic.

The 26-year-old is a young man among the goalkeepers. He has played soy sauce once in the Lee's Three Lions before. He has performed well in the club this season and is worth looking forward to; Manchester United reserve goalkeeper Ben Foster.

Compared with his performance in the Manchester United reserve team this season, Lao Li is more optimistic about his potential; ... defender - John Terry.

The soul of Chelsea's defense of the Blues, the top five defenders in the world, there is no reason not to be selected; Leo Ferdinand.

Also the top five central defenders in the world; Steven Taylor.

Newcastle's defensive line contributed to England's hope star, Lao Li's direct line; Manzieni.

Shortlisted with excellent performance in the previous national team games; Philips Neville.

Although his strength is not top-notch, he can be qualified for two positions of left and right full-backs at the same time, which is a universal patch in Li Tongfan's mind; Ashley Cole.

There is no doubt that before the age of 33, the Chelsea Magic Wings can firmly sit in the main position of the left-back of England, and no one can shake its main position.

Richards.

The first new star on the Manchester City guard line; Wayne Bridge.

The fame at Stamford Bridge Bridge was covered up by Ashley Cole, but the real strength is really strong... Midfielder - David Beckham.

I didn't say that Li Tongfa chose to coach the Three Lions Legion for the sake of Beckham; Gareth Barry.

Li Tongfan is a regular guest of the national team after taking charge of the Three Lions. Although the first midfielder of the Lee's Three Lions is not David Beckham, this Aston Villa is still qualified for the left-back position and has a tenacious fighting spirit; Owen Hargreaves.

Although he has just recovered from injury some time ago, and there are two tough players, Beckham and Barry in the back of the Three Lions, the data values given for Hargreaves in FM2008 are too dazzling. Lao Li is reluctant to give up and can enrich tactics if necessary; Gerrard, Premier League BIG4 Reds leader; Lampard, Premier League BIG4 Blues leader; Joe Cole.

Known as the first technical creativity among English players; Aaron Lennon.

[Speed], [Explosive] Double 19, Sideline Breakthrough Madman, James Milner.

You can maintain the [Superman state] without consuming extra character points. Li Tongfan, who has worked hard to accumulate character points, is the inevitable choice; Tang Ning.

The hope of England's future sidelines, the technology and passing surname given in FM2008 are even more gorgeous than Joe Cole; Walcote.

[Speed], [Explosive Power] Double 20, another sideline breakthrough maniac, Arsenal's long-known little tiger, and very upright, is the favorite of the stuffy man; ... striker - Ashley Young.

Li Tongfan's favorite speed forward has performed well in previous national team games; Michael Owen.

Top local scorer in the Premier League 07-08 season, madman Lee's favorite general; Peter Crouch.

The height of 2.01 meters allows any coach to take the Liverpool tall guys in case of emergency; Alan Smith.

Also out of consideration of maintaining the [Superman state]; Wayne Rooney.

Red Devils Manchester United's front-line tank, the future hope of the British Isles; Daniel Sturridge.

After the little guy was discovered by Lao Li, he performed well in Manchester City's first team this season.

Darren Bent.

Tottenham Hotspur striker has scored 18 goals at White Hart Lane this season. He is the striker of Dutch head Martin Joel, so he was selected to beat the striker of the same type.

... The release of this 27-person list did not cause controversy in the British media. Almost every player selected was expected by the media. Even the short-rooted rookie such as Manzini and Sturidge were shortlisted because Li Tongfan had recruited them to the national team many times before, public opinion has been surprised. It's weird.

June 3rd.

The lucky ones who were selected for England's European Cup 2008 gathered in London and then flew directly to Salzburg, Austria, without stopping.

Nine days later, on June 11, the first battle of the Three Lions against the Greek team led by Otto the Great Rehagel will be held in this mountain city full of Baroque buildings.

June 4th.

In the morning, the sky was blue.

The official designated venue of Group D of the European Cup. After four hours of adaptation training at the Westenheim Stadium, Li Tongfan ingeniously led 27 team members and members of the coaching team to visit the largest Baroque fountain in Europe of the Bishop's Palace in the mountain city of Salzburg and the Jewish concentration camps and bomb shelters left by the German army during World War II... Of course. It's to relax the tight nerves of the players.

In this issue, there are many young players in the Three Lions. Although the little guys have a sense of honor, hunger and momentum in the face of the competition, they are prone to nervousness, anxiety, restlessness and other negative emotions due to lack of experience. Therefore, in addition to training, they must also think about their psychological adjustment.

As one of the favorites to win the European Cup, there are countless media that pay attention to the madman Lee and the England team. Naturally, this tour is frequently reported, and it is even compared with another popular Spanish team in Group D - "Madman Li wins, England is easy to prepare"

"Madman Li made a strange move again, visiting the German army ruins to improve the player's sense of discipline and honor"

"The Spanish team's hard work makes the English people ashamed"

The Three Lions Legion is too relaxed, and the law of death of the heat may reappear

... There are good and bad comments, and Li Tongfan sneered at them.

June 5th at 14:00 p.m.

Sunny to cloudy, the temperature is cool.

England played its first warm-up match after coming to Austria against Greece, the same team in Group D of the group.

Crazy Lee sacrificed his best 4-1-2-winged formation in the game, with David Beckham as the starting single midfielder of the Three Lions, and two short forwards, Michael Owen and Rooney, joined the front line.

After 90 minutes, the two sides kicked 3:2.

Rooney and Owen, Pitt Crouch, who have been substitutes in the second half, scored one goal each. Beckham, a single midfielder, gave an assist with a corner kick, but Beckham's defensive task in the back position was not well completed. The Greek team used the Rehagel team, which had created the Greek myth, to score two goals in a defensive counterattack. ...After the game, Wayne Bridge, who started but kept making mistakes in defense, said goodbye to the Three Lions with tears. Li Tongfan gave the 26-year-old Blues left-back a chance, but Bridge didn't seize it.

...June 7th afternoon.

The second and last warm-up match of the Three Lions, against the Norwegian team led by Liverpool ** Riser and Aston Villa high school striker John Carou.

After 90 minutes, the score was set at 3:0, and England won with three goals.

Unlike the warm-up match, this time Owen's starting partner was replaced by Pete Crouch.

The former scored a hat-trick, while the latter sent three assists.

In addition, Beckham, the captain of the team who made many mistakes in defense in the last game, unexpectedly did not get a chance to play. Gareth Barry and Owen Hargreaves each got a 45-minute performance in the midfield position. The performance of the two at the defensive end was better than that against the Greek team. Beckham on the field is much better.

After the game, a total of three players packed their bags and left Salzburg.

After Tottenham striker Darren Bent replaced Owen under the hat in the second half, he did not bring his excellent state in the club to the national team. He missed the chance to kill the ball at least three times, making the attack of the Three Lions weak, so he was eliminated in reason. Darren Bent was accompanied by Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Chokland and Manchester United's young goalkeeper Ben Foster, who had never had a chance to play.

... In this way, there are still 26 people left in the list, and 3 of them are still facing the fate of being eliminated.

The national media that have been paying close attention to the England team are beginning to make their own predictions, and most football experts have pointed their heads at the three people who have been eliminated in unison - first of all, Gareth Barry and Owen Hargreaves, who overlapped with the position of David Beckham, the minister of the madman Li Chong. One of them is likely to be eliminated, and now it seems that it is likely to be sacrificed by Gareth Barry, who does not play for the giants.

Secondly, although Darren Bent has left, the front line of the Three Lions is still bloated. Although Manchester City young player Daniel Storridge has always been favored by the madman Lee, the inexperienced young player in the face of the competition is still very likely to become a viewer.

In the end, central defender Manzianni faced the same dilemma as Storidge. Although Chelsea's youngster scored a wonderful goal in the European Cup qualifiers, the weakness of the same lack of experience in the top league matches has reduced his credibility a lot.

There is still one day left to submit the last 23-person list to UEFA. Everyone is waiting for the three unlucky people that the madman Li will finally cut his ruthless butcher knife.
