Chapter 0069: That Is Lin Xu’s Best Position at Hitting the Door!!!
Andorra is a standard European fishbelly team.
They have won only a handful of qualifiers in previous qualifiers.
And this year.
This World Preliminary Tournament has been played until now.
Six matches, one win and five defeats, with the exception of the one that won 2-0 in the previous round against San Marino, and Andorra ended in losses.
Currently second to last in the group with 3 points.
Compared with England, it can be said that it is a heaven and an underground.
Coupled with the fact that their main central defender Alavedra, full-back San Nicolas, and midfielder Vieira were shown a yellow card suspension at the same time, for Andorra, the defensive loss is undoubtedly huge.
It was already difficult to hit England.
Now that they have lost three main defenders, it is even more difficult for Andorra to be effective defensively against England.
In the live broadcast room.
There’s a reason why Ned has become the ace commentator of BBC Sport.
He is still quite professional in his field.
Although he was complained by some fans about blowing Lin Xu’s rainbow fart too much every day, when commenting on the game, Ned showed quite high professionalism.
Without looking at the information, he casually reported the past meetings between the two teams.
‘Andorra have not won a game against England in the last five games and have conceded a lot of goals each time.
“In five games, Andorra conceded a total of 2,797 and ten goals.”
“And didn’t score a single goal.”
“England were crushed at both ends of the attack and defense, and it can be said that if there are no accidents in this game, England can easily win it.”
Although the commentary is usually not sure until the end of the match, Andorra and England are not in the same division, just like a League One or even League Two team to challenge a Premier League team.
England can be said to win.
“Now it’s up to Lin Xu’s personal performance.”
Player Tunnel.
Trippier stood at the front wearing the captain’s armband.
It was also the first time the Atletico defender wore England’s captain’s armband in a match.
Trippier looked a little excited.
Lin Xu stood behind him.
Unconsciously, he was infected by Trippier’s emotions.
Although he told Southgate that he was not nervous, when he actually walked on the court with the team, he felt his heart beating faster.
The whole heart was pounding.
The feeling of almost jumping out of the chest.
Lin Xu looked around.
Even though this is their away turving.
Although Andorra’s home stadium, the National Stadium, is only a small stadium with only 3,300 seats.
Although, the English fans who can come to watch the game may not have as many fans who go to Peterborough to cheer him on.
But when he heard the English fans cheering for them, when he saw those strange puzzles looking at him with expectant eyes.
Lin Xu was still rare for a few seconds.
He subconsciously clenched his fists.
Take a deep breath.
Fans in England have high expectations of him.
Lin Xu knows.
He’s watched his games, listened to Ned’s commentary, and occasionally tweeted during breaks.
Foden or Grealish, they sometimes see the messages that fans have posted about him on their official websites or on Twitter, and they will also take screenshots to show him.
These England fans are really hoping that he can become a good player, to establish himself in the English national team, to work with the Three Lions to help England win their second Hercules Cup at next year’s World Cup.
He knew what to expect.
Also know that they include the concerns of Southgate and others.
Darren also calls to chat with him these days, and although the manager of Petersburg does not seem to be a delicate person on the surface, he can actually take a lot of small things into account.
Darren will enlighten him and help him build confidence.
Mr. Holland, the assistant coach of the national team, also talks to him during breaks, and Southgate even deliberately placed Foden in the same dormitory as him so that he can better integrate into the team.
He didn’t want to disappoint these people.
Lin Xu is not religious.
His mother, Laura, was a devout Catholic.
He and Lin Jianye actually didn’t believe much.
In the past, although he often accompanied Laura to the church to pray, Lin Xu has always had little reverence for God or the so-called gods in his heart.
Only this time.
At the moment before stepping on the court, Lin Xu learned Laura’s appearance for the first time and seriously crossed his chest.
“Don’t panic, you can behave well.”
He said to himself in his heart.
“You’re a systematic hanger!”
The English fans who flew to Andorra to watch the game were enthusiastic, sitting in the away fans’ stands and looking even more like they were at home than the home fans.
Listen to the loud and neat shouts of the fans.
Lin Xu’s heart gradually calmed down.
After the captains of the two teams have guessed the side, the game officially begins.
The commentary first introduced the visiting team England in the live broadcast room, and then began to introduce the home team Andorra.
And England, which can be called star-studded, there are 16 players in this squad alone who are worth more than 30 million euros
The price of the national team is different, and the total value of Andorra’s team is less than two million euros.
Most of the players play in Descades or Escaldes, some of Andorra’s domestic Ben X league teams.
There is hardly a single player from the five major leagues.
‘Coach Kordo gave a 442 formation today.
“The goalkeeper is No. 1 Gomez, and the back line is No. 18 Jesús Rubio, No. 22 Christian Garcia, No. 20 Lovela and No. 21 Mark Garcia.”
“The four in midfield are No. 23 Jodi Rubio, No. 4 Reb, No. 3 Valles and No. 8 Vieira.
“At the top of the line are No. 2 Martinez and No. 9 Aaron Sanchez.”
Considering that many fans in China should not be familiar with the Andorran national team, Ned also highlighted the players of the Andorran national team when commenting.
But the fans’ focus is not on this.
They don’t care what Andorra’s starting lineup is, which unknown small team Andorra’s players play for, and the players are worth hundreds of thousands of euros or tens of thousands of euros, respectively.
None of this matters, okay! The director cut me to the front court.
We want to see Lin Xu!
Ned didn’t care to watch the barrage of crazy screens.
He was also there to introduce Andorra coach Córdo, who had just said that Cordo’s leading results brought the team to 88 games with a win rate of only 5.68%, and the rhythm on the field suddenly changed.
Because it is an away game, plus the National Stadium in Andorra is not very adapted, the pre-match stadium is a bit too much watering.
The stadium is somewhat slippery.
So the rhythm of the game wasn’t mentioned at the beginning.
Andorra’s players fought fiercely from the start, but England’s excellent footwork kept the ball at his feet.
It wasn’t until the players had almost used to the slippery turf of the pitch that England’s attack really began.
Stones suddenly crossed at the back and the ball went directly to Foden’s feet in the middle.
Foden dribbled left and right with the ball.
Shake off Andorran midfielder Valles, who tried to break the ball from under his feet.
Then he glanced forward.
Andorra’s defense is basically near the small penalty area, and the space on the wing is very big to think about whether to give the left or to the right, and after seeing the left Sancho has been
After running out of position and raising his hand, Foden’s ball ended up on the left.
Andorra defended Sancho on the left flank with the veteran of 1988, No. 21 Mark Garcia.
Against the younger Sancho, the 33-year-old Mark Garcia is completely undominant in speed.
Sancho caught up with the ball easily.
The young talent who joined Manchester United this summer with a high transfer fee of 85 million euros is just like Foden, from Manchester City’s academy.
Although he moved to Manchester United, Sancho is still very close to Foden and others in private.
Even the relationship with Lin Xu is not bad.
Knowing that this debut was crucial for Lin Xu, Sancho did not dribble too much after getting the ball.
He glanced at Lin Xu’s location.
A shot from the outside instep directly pocketed the ball into the far corner of the goal.
That’s where Lin Xu is best at hitting the goal…
