Chapter 184 Reporting and World Cup Opening
"It should be a few days later. Now the England national team has begun to concentrate, but Coach Eriksson gave me a five-day vacation. I just need to go to London to join the national team on June [-]." Li Yuxin replied.

This time Arsenal has six players participating in the World Cup. England's Li Yuxin, Campbell, Ashley Cole, France's Henry, Arsenal's Lehmann, Netherlands' Van Persie, and Spain's Cesc Fabregas have performed quite well this season, and the head coach of the national team will naturally not ignore them.

"At that time, we will be opponents... But fortunately, England and Spain are not in the same group. Your group is very strong." Fabregas said with some emotion.

Li Yuxin nodded, now the draw for the World Cup has come out, Trinidad and Tobago, Sweden, Paraguay

, these three opponents are weak except for Sweden.

The most important thing is that Li Yuxin is not afraid of any opponents now, but in the England national team, it may be difficult for him to get as much support and space as in Arsenal - Li Yuxin has now felt more and more that although he can be an ordinary player to charge forward, but only when he has the support of the whole team and the whole team revolves around him, can he show his full strength!
But in England, he is now in an awkward position. On the one hand, his achievements have attracted everyone's attention. On the other hand, the older generation has Beckham, the idol has Owen, and a Mesozoic generation of Gerrard and Lampard who are not much less famous than him. Moreover, they are all veteran international players.

Li Yuxin himself has thought about this point, the ethos of seniority discussion in English football is quite serious, but this is not a problem he can solve, he can only follow the fate.

After being rejected by Kelly, Li Yuxin could only go to the national team to report depressed. Keegan received him very warmly. He first asked him how his current physical condition was, and then congratulated him for becoming the first English player in the past 20 years to win the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and also the first English player in history to win the Champions League in two different clubs...

"My physical condition is very good, and I also hope to contribute to the national team's performance." Li Yuxin replied.

Eriksson agreed with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart that this kid is getting better and better, but his position is really a headache...

In all fairness, Keegan is not a stingy and fussy coach. Although he had a bad relationship with Li Yuxin before, he would not deliberately not use Li Yuxin just because of this, but Li Yuxin's position really gave Keegan a headache.

As for the most suitable position for Li Yuxin, almost all the coaches have the same opinion, that is, to ambush behind the striker to connect the midfield, hold a lot of balls to coordinate the offense of the entire team, as long as the cooperation between his teammates and him is good enough, he can make the offense of the entire team go up a notch, of course, the striker is also fine.

Although it is also possible to put two forwards in front of him, it is most suitable to put one forward, so that Li Yuxin's post-up ability and his excellent scoring ability can be brought into play, and at the same time, he does not need to participate in the defense. With only two forwards, the defense of the midfield will be better.

In fact, the current English midfielder can do this completely. McManaman moves to the left, Beckham is on the right, and Scholes and Ince are partnered in the center. This midfielder can guarantee defense, allowing Li Yuxin to organize offenses in the frontcourt.

However, in doing so, there would only be one striker besides Li Yuxin—not counting Li Yuxin, there were four strikers that Keegan brought to the Netherlands this time! , Irving, the future hope of England's blockbuster striker in the World Cup, Husky, a center with immeasurable advantages in tactics, Vassell, Fowler, Rooney...

If Li Yuxin occupies a main position, who will be the other striker?Even if Keegan can do without Husky, Vassell, Owen, Li Yuxin, and Rooney, Keegan has to use any of them!These two men can be called the best strikers in England in the past two generations. As the head coach of the England national team, you have to consider more than just the game...

Therefore, Li Yuxin can only be allowed to go forward.

Come to Germany, in the eyes of the eyes, England ushered in the opening game against Paraguay

At the beginning

England made a perfect start. In the 3rd minute, Toledo fouled Joe Cole in the backcourt. Beckham made a free kick from the left. On Li Yuxin TV, the German commentator Marcel Leif was explaining the corner kick.

Then his voice suddenly rose an octave.

"Rong—"

In his eyes, Li Yuxin leaped high. The timing of the jump was a bit early, but it didn't matter. After less than a second, the football flew over, and Li Yuxin was still in the air. He was still at a height where he could reach the ball.

So he exclaimed.

Accompanied by his exclamation, Li Yuxin twisted his waist and shook his head, and hit the football hard

head shake
Lee Woo-shin, who rushed to the road from the back point and took off, threw the football to the back point of the goal.

Although the goalkeeper Villar standing at the front of the road made a save, he was too far away from the football, and he didn't expect that it was Li Yuxin's header, which made his reaction a beat slower than normal.

Just like that, he turned his head and saw the football...has hit the net
ball scored

Go in?
In the air, he widened his eyes, looking at the football spinning in the net in disbelief...

"Rong—" everyone roared loudly again. "Headed ball, 8 yards in front of the center, trying to head towards Paraguay and Paraguay. Villar threw the ball but could not prevent the ball from entering the net. England 1-0, Paraguayan goalkeeper Villar was injured when he attacked and was replaced by Bobadilla in the 5th minute. In the 9th minute, Gamara made a header error under Owen's pressure. England won the corner kick for the first time, but was scored again by Li Yuxin.

In the 10th minute, Beckham took a left corner kick and was cleared. Gerrard volleyed wide with his right foot from 24 yards from the right.In the 11th minute, Gerrard made a beautiful direct pass, and Owen's weak shot from the left side of the penalty area was confiscated by Bobadilla.In the 12th minute, Bobadilla held the ball for more than 6 seconds. England got an indirect free kick from the edge of the penalty area. Beckham flicked it lightly. Lampard's shot from 16 yards was blocked by the wall. He continued to keep up with his left foot and volleyed higher.

In the 18th minute, Boba Dila kicked off with a big kick, Terry stopped the ball and made a mistake. Fortunately, Ferdinand made a timely clearance.Paredes shot wide from 25 yards in the middle.In the 19th minute, Christian's strong shot from 25 yards in the middle was confiscated by Robinson, and Gerrard was given a yellow card for a tackle foul.In the 22nd minute, Valdes tripped Beckham behind and was booked.In the 23rd minute, after Lampard kicked the wall with Crouch, the Chelsea midfielder shot from 25 yards was confiscated by Bobadilla.

In the 25th minute, Beckham passed the ball to Li Yuxin. During the run, he swung his right foot to face the falling ball, and directly volleyed the ball out!
The stressed ball immediately changed its course and flew out sideways. Before Baia pounced, it had already hit the net behind him!

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! Lee! His first World Series hat! The volley in the penalty area! It's so beautiful! England took a two-goal lead in the 25th minute! They didn't have much advantage before, but at this time, their experience and ability to counterattack played an important role! This start is really a dream start!"
Less than 10 minutes into the game, leading with three goals-this is a fantastic start, especially in this kind of competition, achieving such a start almost means winning the final victory.

From the perspective of the England players, the victory of this game can almost be said to be in their hands. Falling behind by three goals so quickly will deal a huge blow to the psychology of the Paraguayan players. As long as they seize the opportunity to suppress their opponents, they will be able to win the final victory!

I have to say that falling behind by three goals so quickly has indeed greatly shaken the psychology of the Paraguayan players.
In the 41st minute, Li Yuxin remained calm enough at the most tense moment!

He chipped the football with the outside instep!

The football was cut into an arc by him and flew towards the far corner of the goal!

The defender misses the ball, and the goalkeeper's hand misses the football.The football kicked by Rong Guang drew a very obvious arc in Real Madrid's penalty area, bypassing all obstacles, and then... it stuck to the far post and entered the goal!
Big four, while Gerrard and Beckham each scored in the second half, England 6-0 Paraguay
