Football: Rejected by the national team, I flew to England

Chapter 143



Chapter 0143: Even a midfielder in the top league is difficult to be so efficient!!!

But this match was a little chance to show off his celebratory moves.

The game has reached the seventieth minute.

According to the convention, Petersburg has also reached a fixed substitution period, Lin Xu only needs to start the game, Darren almost replaced him at this time.

The substitution card has been raised on the sidelines.

There was no specified time for the celebration task given by the system, and Lin Xu was not in a hurry to complete it.

Let’s talk about it in the next game.

After seeing the fourth official on the sidelines holding up the card, Lin Xu took off the captain’s armband, put it on Hamilton’s arm, and then trotted off the court.

Nearly 3,000 fans who came to the Britannia Stadium with the team, as well as more than 3,000 fans from England and some Dragon Kingdom sitting in the neutral fan area, all stood up and applauded Lin Xu when they saw Petersburg’s substitution.

The football atmosphere in Petersburg is very different from the original.

In away games, there are more and more Petersburg puzzles who are willing to follow the team to watch the away game.

At the beginning of the season when it was the turn of the away game in Petersburg, the number of Petersburg fans who could accompany the team to the away game was only a few hundred to a thousand.

And now.

As the team’s results get better and better.

Not only is the 15,000 seats at the London Road Stadium full, but even during away games, the number of fans who follow the team to different stadiums to watch the game is increasing.

Although Peterborough United itself has a limited number of fans.

No amount of increase will reach the standard of top giants like Real Madrid, Barca or Manchester United.

For Petersburg, being able to come away from home is already the limit for two or three thousand people.

However, Peterborough is optimistic from the club to the fans.

They are also very content.

They compare only with themselves.

The number of away fans of 3,000 is already a huge improvement for Petersburg.

You know, they used to sometimes not even be able to have 3,000 fans watching the game at home, and when the team lost consecutive games, the stands may be empty except for the die-hard fan stand.

Petersburg now has a lot more fans than before.

And these fans are willing to trust the team and are willing to go away on weekdays to support the team, that’s progress.

The players and managers of Peterborough are also grateful to the fans, and now at the end of every game, whether home or away, they go to the fan area to interact with the fans and satisfy the demand for signature photos of some of the puzzles.

They will even give their shirts to some young fans or some fans who are not so healthy but still come to the stadium to support them.

This interaction will also make fans more diehard.

And now because of the team’s good results and much higher exposure, many local residents in Peterborough who originally did not watch the game and did not pay much attention to the team have also begun to pay attention to Peterborough United, the only football club in Peterborough.

The number of fans who have booked a season ticket for next season is rising every day.

This is what the Peterborough club wants to see the most.

After all, the other exposures are only because of Lin Xu, including the vast majority of the fans in the neutral fan area now come to watch the Petersburg game because of Lin Xu, and these local residents of Peterborough, once they like Petersburg, it is the team’s mystery.

That’s what the club is all about.

Of course, they also welcome Lin Xu’s personal fans to watch the Petersburg match.

Who wouldn’t love the popularity and ticket revenue they get.

Now many Dragon Country fans who go to school or work in England will also take a special car to Peterborough or follow Peterborough to watch the game away.

Every time Petersburg plays away games, almost all the people sitting in the neutral fan area are Lin Xu’s personal fans.

Almost all of them were wearing Lin Xu’s jerseys.

There are Lin Xu’s No. 48 shirt in Petersburg, and there is also Lin Xu’s shirt in the England national team, of which Petersburg’s shirt is the majority.

It’s not that the England shirt isn’t popular.

Instead, the Three Lions’ official World Cup roster has not yet been finalized, and the players have not officially chosen their own numbers within the team.

Now in every World Preliminary Match, the number of the jersey is a temporary number, and whoever starts will take the main number 1-11, even if Lin Xu has become the captain of the England national team.

The number of each game is not fixed, unless those big guys who are not short of money can collect all the jerseys for all games, otherwise, most fans still want to wait until England has confirmed the World Cup list, Lin Xu finalized the official number of the national team, and then collect his national team jersey.

However, in this way, Petersburg’s jerseys are selling even more hot.

The team’s director, Barry Fry, looked at the bills reported every day and felt that he walked floatingly.

However, Barry Fry is still a little unsatisfied.

It would be even better if that attention could bring the team another title sponsor for the stadium.

Although the stadium sponsorship may not be too high, it is a sum of money compared to ticket and jersey revenue.

Barry Fry looked at the stadium sponsorship in Stoke City and felt gluttonous.

The Britannia Stadium in Stoke City is named after Britannia Property Finance and Barry Fry specifically inquired about the £1 million sponsorship

About 10 years between Britannia and Stoke City.

This amount of money is certainly nothing for other top giants.

But for a small team like Petersburg, which was mixed in League One last season, it is a huge fortune.

Stoke City were promoted to the Premier League in previous years, after a few seasons.

Aren’t they Petersburg hotter and more popular now than Stoke City? Why haven’t those gold lord dads come yet!

Putting aside the supervisor whose eyes fell into the eyes of money.

At the Britannia Stadium, the fans wearing Lin Xu’s jersey and Peterborough jersey were applauding Lin Xu.

The applause was enthusiastic, and even on the road, Stoke City fans, who were not in any way inferior to the home team in terms of momentum, had already been beaten a little bit.

The more fans look at Lin Xu now, the more satisfied they feel.

Although Lin Xu did not score in this game, the terrible record of scoring in nine consecutive league games was finally ended, but he got four assists in a single game, covering all the goals on the field, and it can be said that he single-handedly helped Peterborough United win this game.

Without him opening the situation on the field, it is really difficult to say whether Peterburg can easily win the game against Stoke City in a dead box.

For Lin Xu’s center forward position, it is obvious that four assists is more difficult than scoring consecutive goals.

Whoever is a striker eats bread on the field.

Where is Lin Xu feeding cakes like this and feeding so comfortable.

Not to mention the two assists on the touchline, the two goals that assisted Randall alone can basically be called masterful pre-judgment passes.

The assist of the Full Moon Scimitar is accurate and accurate.

It can be said that the cake was directly stuffed into Randall’s mouth.

Randall just needs to run into position, stretch out his legs and score easily.

With such an assist level, even many fans of teams lacking midfielders began to look at Lin Xu.

This buys back and can score goals and assist.

It’s so fragrant!

In addition to being expensive.

There are no other drawbacks.

Although Lin Xu’s latest worth has not yet come out, with his performance, coupled with his household registration book and the identity of the captain of the national team, next summer’s transfer will definitely cost hundreds of millions.

The fans of the team without hundreds of millions of signing funds can only look at Lin Xu and sigh.

I don’t know which team will be so lucky to get Lin Xu in the future.

They already began to be jealous in advance.

And, in terms of today’s game.

Whether it is what the fans saw with their own eyes at the scene or the heat map given from the live broadcast room of the commentary, it can be clearly seen that Lin Xu’s running position on the field today is no longer the same as before, just walking around the small penalty area, but almost covering most of the restricted area of Stoke City, and even to the range of the half.

Anyone can see it.

Petersburg is experimenting with new tactics today.

And the effect of these new tactics.

Obvious.

Very effective.

When Lin Xu no longer just stayed in the small penalty area waiting for his teammates to feed the cake, his cake-making ability was not weaker than his finishing ability in front of the goal.

Four assists per game.

Even midfielders in the top league are difficult to be so efficient.

And Lin Xu did it quite perfectly.

There was warm applause at the scene.

Lin Xu ran off the field.

He was handed over by Clark Harris.

The team’s original main center.

Now Lin Xu is substituted.

The rotation of Lin Xu and Harris has become the norm in Petersburg.

Darren doesn’t mind letting everyone know his tactics and substitution arrangements at all, every time Lin Xu starts, it must be Harris who replaces Lin Xu.

It won’t be someone else.

No matter how many wins Lin Xu is on the court when he goes off, Darren will replace Harris on the court.

After the league reached the fifteenth round, the last round, after the match between Peterborough and Swansea, Darren spoke to Harris specifically.

Darren did not want to give up the main goalscorer who helped Petersburg successfully upgrade last season with the supergod data of the League One Golden Boot, but for now, Harris’s strength is indeed not a little worse than Lin Xu.

Harris himself is clear on this.

He can’t compete with Lin Xu.

Darren simply told Harris that Harris was still his favorite.

Lin Xu will only stay in Petersburg for one season at most.

And Randall and Kanu, who have played well in the team this season, both play wingers up front, including Dembele, and Harris’ positions do not conflict.

As long as Harris can keep playing, no matter what the team has achieved this season, as long as Darren is still the team’s manager, Darren will not be in the center position next season.

Harris is also Petersburg’s main centre-forward.

This is Darren’s assurance to Harris.

Petersburg is now gaining momentum and attention, and the club has renewed Harris’ contract to a high salary in the first gear after he won the Golden Boot last season, and everything has made Harris very satisfied.

Harris is 94 years old, not too young.

If he can continue to play the main team without changing teams, then Harris will definitely hope not to change teams.

After all, if you change to a new team, you have to run in with new teammates, and if the run-in is not good enough, you may be sold, and there are too many factors to consider.

And he has been transferred to Peterborough United from Coventry’s youth team since 2012, and although he was also loaned out for a while, he still has a lot of affection for the team after staying in Petersburg for so long.

It’s certainly best to play at Petersburg until the end of your career.

Therefore, after chatting with Darren, Harris’s heart was much relieved.

What worries him most during this time is actually not

It was Lin Xu and his position that overlapped.

Lin Xu will not stay in Petersburg for long, this is a well-known thing.

Peterborough United is a small team that cannot be smaller, and it is impossible to hold a golden cash cow in your hand and put it there and not sell.

Lin Xu will definitely leave at the latest summer turn.

That is, a season thing.

Harris’ biggest worry is actually that Lin Xu has left, and Peterburg will take the transfer fee left by Lin Xu to bring in a stronger center forward than him.

Judging from Lin Xu’s current value, Petersburg will be able to get at least hundreds of millions of transfer fees by then, which is all net profit and has no cost at all.

Although director Barry Fry is known as Barry, if Darren asks for a signing, and the team is doing well, the club should pay half of the transfer fee to buy new players for Darren.

They were originally only in League One, and Harris is certainly one of the best strikers in League One.

At that time, he never had to worry about his position in the team.

Even if he is unruly.

Even if he is very unique in the team.

He doesn’t have to worry about not being able to play in the team.

But now they’re in the Championship.

It is very likely that next season he can make a big move to the Premier League.

Of course, even if the team does not promote at the end of the season, it will remain in the Championship.

To buy people by the standards of the Championship, tens of millions are enough for Darren to buy a lot of good players.

Harris can’t guarantee that he will be able to compete with the new players who have been bought for a lot of money.

He was afraid that when Lin Xu left, he would not have the main position.

This is what worries him the most during this time.

But now with Darren’s assurance, Harris’s heart is relaxed.

The Jamaican center, who has always been recalcitrant now looks at Lin Xu and feels a lot more pleasant, if not for the direct competition, who would not like a captain who can always bring victory to the team.

After chatting with Darren, Harris will also take the initiative to find Lin Xu to practice with him on the training ground.

Although Harris’s talent is not outstanding, his basic skills are still very solid to become last season’s League One Golden Boot.

What Lin Xu lacks is basic skills.

Although Lin Xu now has a lot of skill cards, he can rely on skill cards to directly complete the shot in terms of shooting, but his basic skills are still lacking, after all, his original talent is generally a little reluctant.

Now that Harris has better basic skills and practices with him, he has let go of the unlucky Randall.

Poor Randall was tortured for so many days, and he didn’t know why he was targeted by Lin Xu.

The relationship between the two centers in the Petersburg team has also eased a lot.

The team also formed a convention, if Lin Xu starts, then by the time the game is more than sixty minutes, without Darren or the assistant coach calling and urging, Harris consciously goes to the sidelines to warm up and prepare to play.

Also replaced at the same time as Lin Xu was Kanu.

Darren replaced the team’s other striker Marriott today after the handover of Lu Linxu and Harris, and when he went down to the sidelines, he was close to Petersburg

The fans of the bench were shouting his name loudly, and even some Stoke City fans were following the powerful Petersburg captain.

Kanu followed behind, looking at his captain with some envy in his eyes.

When will he be like Lin Xu, liked by so many fans, Lin Xu didn’t know what Kanu thought, he skillfully waved with the fans, causing a scream from the female fans, and then sat on the bench…
