Young Football Player

Chapter 69 Southgate

With Lee Jackie Chan's first career assist hat-trick, Dundee United completed a major reversal in the away game and defeated St. Johnstone 4:3, successfully bringing back three points.

In the other games of this round at the same time, the Celtics, Rangers and Motherwell all won respectively, so the top four rankings in the standings have not changed.

When Jackie Lee returned to Dundee with the team, Kate Lee was already waiting for him.

"Did that coach go to my game?" Li Chenglong felt that if he managed to score a hat-trick with an assist, wouldn't it be a waste if the opponent didn't see it.

"Look, I was on the phone with the other party just now..."

From Kate Lee's mouth, Li Chenglong knew the reason for his relationship with the British Olympic team.

The FA sent Stuart Pierce to form the Olympic team, and also sent Gareth Southgate, who joined the FA last year, to play as a support.

Southgate debuted in the Crystal Palace youth training camp. Although he has never played for a giant in his career, he can be selected for the England national team for a long time. This is already a star-level player.

Of course, Southgate's most "famous" event was the penalty shootout between the host England and the old enemy Germany in the semi-finals of the European Cup in England in 1996. When all the first six players on both sides made free throws, Sosgate Sgate missed the penalty in the seventh and England were knocked out by Germany.

Next year will be the year of the European Cup. When the British media reviewed England’s previous European Cup trips two days ago, Southgate was undoubtedly pulled out to flog his body again, and it was repeated back and forth. .

After all, Southgate missed the kick at the beginning, but it was England's only chance to enter the European Cup final.

The two major stars who came from the Crystal Palace youth training camp before Lee Jackie Chan, one is Southgate and the other is Ian Wright. Ian Wright is that Arsenal star, Henry's previous record holder in Arsenal team history.

Southgate has been a coach for several years after retiring, but his coaching was not very successful. It was under his leadership that Middlesbrough was successfully relegated.

After being fired by Middlesbrough in 2010, as a former national team player, Southgate found a relationship and joined the FA to make a living.

This time he was sent to assist in the formation of the British Olympic team. Southgate, a famous Crystal Palace star, first recommended Zaha to Pierce, the most famous talented player in Crystal Palace.

It's a pity that the Crystal Palace doesn't think so. They are not very willing to let their talented players play "junk" events like Olympic football.

In fact, not only the Crystal Palace, many professional clubs are reluctant to have their important players play in the Olympics. When Argentina recruited Messi to participate in the Beijing Olympics in 2008, Barcelona almost got into a fight with the Argentine Football Association.

I'm planning to build a team with Messi as the core, and you still recruit him to participate in the shitty competition of Olympic football. What does this mean?

This was the attitude of Barcelona at the time.

This time Crystal Palace declined Southgate's kindness, but they recommended Jackie Lee, a "second talent" from Crystal Palace.

Yes, although Jackie Lee played well in the Scottish League, many people still think that Jackie Chan's talent is inferior to that of Zaha.

The level of the Scottish League is low and its influence is small, so it is naturally looked down upon by people. Many arrogant Britons feel that the Scottish Premier League is at the same level as the League One.

In particular, Vardy, who has recently come up from the English regional league, has played the main force in Dundee United, which has become strong evidence of the low level of the Scottish Premier League.

So Southgate contacted Kate Lee to have this inspection trip.

"Although Olympic football has no gold content, but this time it is the Olympic Games held in London, if you can participate, it will be very helpful to increase your popularity in the UK,

After all, British fans will definitely pay attention to this event. "Kate Lee was worried that Jackie Lee didn't want to participate, so she tried to persuade him.

"Don't worry, I'm still very interested in that game." Li Chenglong said: "Next is the national team match day, please help me make an appointment with Southgate, I will visit him in person."

In the sixth round of the Scottish Super League this weekend, there were many big-score games in the five major European leagues. Manchester City beat Tottenham 5:1 away, and Real Madrid swept Zaragoza 6-0 away.

But these scores are not as good as a key battle in the Premier League, Manchester United's home game against Arsenal.

Manchester United beat their old rival Arsenal 8:2 at Old Trafford, and Wayne Rooney completed a hat-trick. This is really a shocking result.

Although Arsenal have lost a lot of blood this summer, they shouldn't lose so badly.

This fiasco is the worst loss since Wenger coached Arsenal, and it is also the worst loss for Arsenal in the past 115 years.

The last time Arsenal lost so badly, the Qing Dynasty was still alive and Emperor Guangxu was still in power.

It was also from this fiasco that some Arsenal fans began to shout the slogan of Wenger's dismissal.

As a "standard fan" of Arsenal, Li Chenglong also had to send a tweet: "Although I completed my first assist hat-trick at the weekend, I am still not happy."

Li Chenglong found that after he put on the hat of "Arsenal loyal fan", he couldn't take it off.

It may be that he pretended to believe it was true, or it may be that the residual consciousness of "predecessor Li Chenglong" is affecting him.

But for a long time pretending to be an Arsenal fan to mix in the crowd seems to be fine.

As a "famous" Arsenal fan player, Li Chenglong's Twitter soon also had Arsenal fans to leave a message.

"Bruce, you should transfer to Arsenal during the winter break. Arsenal's current midfielder, I feel that you can play the main force when you come."

"Now is the most difficult time for Arsenal. What we need most is someone like Bruce."

...

The most difficult time?

In fact, Jackie Lee wanted to tell them that the most difficult time has not yet come.

※※※

After the 6th round of the Soviet Super League, there will be more than 10 days of national team competitions. Li Chenglong took advantage of this time to return to London.

Since he played football in Scotland on loan last season, Jackie Lee has been looking forward to Dundee for a long time. Anyway, the environment there is good and suitable for living. This is the first time Jackie Lee has returned to London.

However, he returned to London not for other things, but to visit Southgate on purpose.

Li Chenglong thought about it carefully. In terms of national team selection, he can only choose England.

He doesn't really want to go to Scotland, and China has been ignoring him all the time. It may be that they have no time to fight against the gangsters, so England is naturally his last choice.

But the biggest problem in England is the fierce competition. Lee Chenglong is still playing in Scotland, which is really not in the eyes of the head coach of the adult national team.

The current core of the Celtics striker, Gary Hooper, is an Englishman. He scored 31 goals for the Celtics in all competitions last season, but so what?

His name was not mentioned once by the England national team.

Therefore, if Jackie Lee wants to enter the England national team, he can only play step by step from the youth team step by step.

And next year's Olympic football match is a good opportunity.
