Young Football Player

Li Chenglong couldn't get the ball, so the threat on the court naturally dropped a lot.

And no one else in the England team stood up to break the deadlock, so the entire first half, the England team was unable to score goals, and ended the first half with Montenegro 0:0.

After observing during the first half, Hodgson, as an old fox who has been coaching for many years, can somewhat see some problems.

However, during the intermission, he just blindly asked Li Chenglong to move more and intersperse, looking for opportunities to shoot.

The meaning of this old guy is clearly to let Li Chenglong continue to be a foil and assist Rooney well.

Li Chenglong was upset, but there was nothing he could do.

The old guy and Rooney are in the same group. If they join forces, Lee Chenglong will definitely not be able to do them.

At this time, Li Chenglong could only curse in his heart, hoping that this old guy would get out of the position of head coach of the national team as soon as possible.

From the beginning of the second half, England's style of play is still the same as before, mainly relying on the personal ability of the players to find opportunities. Whether they can win or not depends on God's will.

But in the 49th minute, England's providence came.

Wayne Rooney passed the ball to Welbeck in the penalty area after cooperating with Gerrard in the midfield. Hebei caught the ball and barely hit the goal. In front of Li Chenglong.

Li Chenglong didn't think about it at all, and directly volleyed the ball with his legs, hitting a world wave.

The ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal, hit the inside of the post with a bang, and bounced into the goal.

"Goooooooooal~~~~~~~" England's commentator finally roared out as if venting.

"Bruce Lee~~~It's him again~~~A very beautiful long-range goal!!!"

"This is Bruce's third consecutive world preliminaries scoring goals. I have said that Hodgson should give him more opportunities."

"Super Blues, he really is a real Super Blues."

Jackie Chan's goal made Wembley Stadium completely boiled up, and the fans sang and sang, "Brazil, here we come" songs.

Anyway, there are only a few words repeated over and over again-Brazil, we are coming, Rio, we are coming.

And Li Chenglong's goal also made the Montenegrin lose their reason to continue to stick to it.

Currently in the group standings, second-placed Montenegro is only one point higher than third-placed Ukraine. This round of Montenegro's away game against England, and Ukraine's home game against Poland on the other side.

The two games were played at the same time. The score between Ukraine and Poland has always been 0:0, and no one has ever broken the ball, so Montenegro can think that as long as they get a draw at Wembley Stadium, they can continue. Hold down Ukraine and rank second, and then win the final round, qualify for the play-offs, and continue to fight for a place in the World Cup in Brazil.

But now that Li Chenglong scored a goal, they naturally no longer needed to continue to defend, and began to press out to find scoring opportunities.

Montenegro no longer sticks to it, and England will play much easier next time. After all, it has an advantage in overall strength.

In the 62nd minute, Welbeck headed back from Gerrard's wide pass, and Rooney followed up with a low shot with his left foot, which also scored a goal.

Then in the 71st minute, Rooney assisted Adros Townsend, who was born in Tottenham, to score.

Help England seal the victory.

Due to continued lack of possession of the ball, except for the deadlocked shot, Li Chenglong still performed mediocre at other times, so he was replaced by Sturridge in the 81st minute.

At the end of the game, both England and Montenegro scored another goal, rewriting the score to 4:1.

The one who scored for England happened to be Sturridge, who came on as a substitute for Jackie Lee.

In any case, England won Montenegro 4:1 at Wembley Stadium, securing the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule, and also securing qualification for next year's World Cup in Brazil.

After the game, the scene at Wembley was full of jubilation, 90,000 England fans cheered and celebrated in the stadium, and the stadium was harmonious and peaceful.

Although Li Chenglong was not happy in the game, he still thanked the fans with the whole team after the game and signed two autographs for them.

Four days later, the final round of the group stage in the European region of the world preliminaries also started. England played against Poland at home.

Poland has completely lost the chance to participate in the World Cup in Brazil due to the lore by Ukraine at the last moment of the away game in the last round.

Currently in the group, England ranks first with 21 points, Ukraine ranks second with 17 points, Montenegro ranks third with 15 points, and Poland ranks fourth with 13 points.

Poland is as high as 4 points behind the second place, and it has completely lost its chance.

So this is an irrelevant game, and the win or loss of both sides has little effect. It can be played as a warm-up match.

It is precisely because of this that Jackie Chan did not play in this game.

Hodgson explained at the pre-match press conference that Stevens had communicated with him, and if possible, try to let Jackie Chan play less games.

After all, Jackie Chan was shoveled once before in the Bundesliga. Although there was nothing serious in the end, Stevens was still a little scared, so he called Hodgson specifically.

So Hodgson had a legitimate reason to arrange tactics specifically to let his beloved apprentice Rooney perform well.

Li Chenglong didn't care about it at all. It would be better if he could take the opportunity to take a break and go back to play the club's game in this kind of irrelevant game.

In the end, Rooney lived up to Hodgson's high expectations and scored a goal in the game to help England win Poland 2:0.

The other goal was scored by Steven Gerrard, and Lee did not play the entire game.

The European group stage of the world preliminaries is all over. England, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Switzerland, and Bosnia and Herzegovina became the first in the group and directly qualified for next year's World Cup in Brazil.

The eight teams including France, Portugal, Sweden, Croatia, Ukraine, Romania, Greece, and Iceland will draw lots and match each other, and play a play-off in pairs to compete for the other four World Cup places.

As far as Li Chenglong is concerned, in this world preliminaries, he started three times and came off the bench twice, played a total of 5 times and scored 5 goals, which can be regarded as his own contribution.

5 goals, which is also the second highest number in the England team after Rooney in this world preliminaries.

Rooney has scored 7 goals in total.

A few days later, at the FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, the results of the draw for the World Cup play-offs were also announced.

France take on Ukraine, Greece take on Romania, Iceland take on Croatia and Sweden take on Portugal.

In such a matchup, the biggest highlight is probably Sweden vs. Portugal.

Between Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, there must be one who will miss the World Cup in Brazil.

Ibrahimovic has been very arrogant recently, and it happened to let Ronaldo rule him.
