Full-Level Pass, Please Call Me The Boss Of The Three Lions

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 106 The first day in the Three Lions [4,000-word chapter]

“Congratulations, son, you can go to Brazil!”

Just as Ling Feng was jumping up and down with his parents, the phone on the desk rang with text message notifications.

When he opened his phone, he saw that his teammates, coaches, friends and even opponents had sent congratulatory text messages.

Pearson, Walsh, Mahrez, Ramsey, Maguire, Lingard

In half a season, he had unknowingly expanded his network of contacts.

Before Ling Feng could reply one by one, a strange number suddenly called in.

Ling Feng quickly gestured to his excited mother to calm her down before pressing the answer button.

“Hello?”

“Is that Ling Feng?”

“Yes, who are you?”

“I am Ray Livington, assistant coach of the England team.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, “Oh, Mr. Livington, hello.”

“First of all, I want to congratulate you on being called up to the adult team.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Then, I’m calling to inform you that you will report to the St. George’s Park training base at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“We will conduct a half-month training camp at St. George’s Park. During the training camp, all players are not allowed to leave the base. So, you’d better bring some daily necessities.”

“Before leaving for Brazil, I will give you “It’s a chance for us to go home and pack our bags, so there’s no need to bring too many personal belongings in.”

“Understood, I’ll be on time.”

“Very good, Mr. Hodgson and we are all looking forward to your arrival!”

“It’s my honor.”

After hanging up the phone, Julia immediately came up and asked, “Xiaofeng, who called?”

“It’s the assistant coach of the representative team. He asked me to report tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Julia’s eyes suddenly lit up, and then she said, “Great! Your father and I will take you there tomorrow!”

“Don’t worry about tomorrow, Afeng, let’s have a drink and celebrate!”

As soon as the voice fell, Ling Shan, who was about to get the wine, was stopped by his wife.

Julia stared at him seriously and asked in a deep voice:

“Do you want to ruin your son’s career? !”

Father Ling, who was suddenly accused, was immediately confused.

“Ah?”

“We’ll report tomorrow morning. Do you want Xiaofeng to be drunk when greeting the coach and teammates?!”

After being scolded by his wife, Ling Shan finally reacted, scratched his head, and then thought of a solution:

“Then we can have some champagne, right?”

It is a custom in both China and the West to have a glass of wine when celebrating.

After thinking about it, Julia raised her index finger, “Only one glass!”

“Three glasses!”

“Two glasses!”

“Deal!”

Watching his parents’ “sketch” throughout the whole process, Ling Feng’s mouth corners unconsciously raised and smiled.

He was very fortunate that his family atmosphere was still very relaxed and harmonious.

Parents’ support and understanding are always the most powerful backing for their children!

At this time, his mobile phone rang again.

The caller was another English Championship player who was selected for the World Cup with Ling Feng, and his club teammate-Jamie Vardy!

“Hey, man!”

“What a special night!”

“I just called to say thank you for your assists. It means a lot to me to be able to participate in the World Cup. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Faced with Vardy’s affectionate confession, Ling Feng smiled and immediately said

“No problem, man, Ling Feng passes the ball and is always at your service.”

“Hahaha”

“Then see you tomorrow?”

“See you tomorrow!”

. . .

As England’s final 23-man World Cup roster was released, it immediately triggered heated discussions among the domestic media and football people in England.

This roster basically has no big surprises.

While people felt sorry for Carrick, Barkley, Chamberlain and others who were not selected, they also praised Hodgson’s decision to listen to public opinion and recruit Ling Feng and Vardy into the final roster.

Leicester City diehard and famous player Lineker directly tweeted that Hodgson’s decision to bring Ling Feng on the plane to Brazil was the wisest decision since he took office!

Most media and football commentators are optimistic about Ling Feng’s selection.

Originally, many people thought that Ling Feng had not experienced the Premier League.

baptism, unable to adapt to the pressure of such an important competition as the World Cup.

However, after the fierce battle with Arsenal in the FA Cup, their attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant.

In the 120-minute game, Ling Feng fully demonstrated his various abilities:

Mature and steady style of play!

Imaginative passing!

Fighting spirit in the face of adversity!

Tireless running!

Big heart at the critical moment!

All these advantages are concentrated in a young player who is only 18 years old!

Many people believe that Ling Feng may become famous in the World Cup like the “wind chasing boy” Owen!

The premise is that Hodgson is willing to give him playing time.

It is worth mentioning that Ling Feng’s butterfly, flapping its wings, once again changed Vardy’s fate!

You know, in the original history, Vardy was not selected for the England team for the first time until May next year and completed his first appearance in the national team.

However, this season, under Ling Feng’s crazy feeding, he not only won the Golden Boot of the English Championship with a record-breaking 31 goals, but also won the Golden Boot of the FA Cup.

Especially the double goal in the FA Cup final, let Hodgson see how strong this grassroots striker who has worked his way up from the fifth-level league is in seizing opportunities.

So, a place to Brazil was reserved for the 27-year-old striker!

And Vardy once again achieved a leap in his career!

From a fifth-level league player to the Golden Boot of the English Championship, and then to being selected for the England World Cup squad, Vardy’s inspirational story has become another object of media hype

. . .

The next day.

At 8:30 in the morning.

A black Lexus slowly stopped in front of the main entrance of the reception of the St. George’s Park training base.

Then, the car door opened.

Ling Feng, dressed in sportswear, got out of the car with a backpack.

As a “newcomer” and “rookie” selected for the England national team for the first time, Ling Feng chose to arrive at the base half an hour in advance.

In fact, before getting off the car, he saw a man wearing a Three Lions T-shirt and holding a camera standing next to the main entrance of the base.

Raising his eyebrows, Ling Feng raised his chin and greeted him:

“Hey, man, how are you? What are you shooting?”

“Thank you for your concern, I’m fine. I’m the team’s follow-up photographer, my name is Johnson. This is recording the team’s journey to the World Cup.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng’s face suddenly showed a look of realization:

“Oh, that’s it. Nice to meet you, Johnson. I thought my fans were so powerful that they could even disguise themselves to enter the country’s training base.”

“Hahaha”

After making a joke with the photographer, Ling Feng came to the trunk and took the suitcase from his father.

“Be well inside, see you later.”

“Okay.”

After hugging his parents one by one, Ling Feng pulled his suitcase and turned to the main gate of the base.

At this time, the photographer who followed the team did not forget to ask:

“Hey, Ling, this is your first time to be called up by the England team, what do you think?”

Faced with this question, Ling Feng just smiled charmingly at the camera and then responded:

“Excited and excited. But I’m ready.”

“Would you like me to take a photo of you in front of the Three Lions logo on the wall?”

Ling Feng wanted to refuse, but thinking that he still had to increase his fans, he readily accepted the proposal:

“Of course!”

Standing in front of the wall with the Three Lions logo behind him.

Ling Feng followed the photographer’s instructions, crossed his arms, posed coolly, and took a photo with the Three Lions logo.

After taking the photo, he bumped fists with the cameraman and walked into the reception of the base.

What came into view was a spacious lobby like a hotel.

The whole decoration style is simple and brand new.

Just like the determination of the English Football Association to reform from the inside out.

This is the first time he has been selected for the national team in his career.

Compared with other England internationals who have been selected for the U17 and U21 youth teams, this is his first time to come to the St. George’s Park training base.

So, he is like an outsider, who doesn’t understand any procedures and doesn’t know where to report.

Perhaps, every player selected for the national team will have this strange feeling when he comes to St. George’s Park for the first time.

Just as Ling Feng looked up and was about to grab someone to ask, a middle-aged man with sparse hair suddenly came over:

“Hey! Ling!”

Hearing the familiar voice of the other party, Ling Feng asked back with a little doubt: “Mr. Livington?”

“That’s right.”

With

Ling Feng shook hands, and Livington smiled and said, “You’re here early.”

“I don’t like to be late.”

“Very good, you can give your shoes to the equipment manager first, and then I will take you to your room.”

“Okay.”

Every professional player has his own exclusive combat boots.

Combat boots are actually an important part of the faith on the court.

Some players believe that a certain pair of combat boots will bring him good luck, so they will always wear a certain pair of combat boots until they lose.

Some players have their own habits, such as what color combat boots they wear at home and what color they wear away.

And Ling Feng simply feels that his pair of pure white Mercurial Vapor IX combat boots are very comfortable to wear.

Of course, this pair of combat boots has also accompanied him for half a season.

When he first represented the first team as a substitute in the FA Cup, he wore this pair of combat boots until the FA Cup final.

It can be said that this pair of combat boots is also very important to him.

Of course, he hopes that his success in the club can also be brought to the England national team, so that he can also perform well in this World Cup.

Become famous in the World Cup, have a skyrocketing value, attract the attention of wealthy clubs, sign a high-priced endorsement, marry a white, rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of life from then on!

Of course, this kind of self-deception is only thought by some naive people.

However, it is also a common flattery trick used by the British media.

Before every important competition, they believe that England’s lineup is luxurious and its strength on paper is excellent, and it will definitely achieve good results.

However, almost every time they will return home in defeat.

Then the media and the public will choose a scapegoat for this failure.

As for England’s trip to the World Cup in Brazil, Ling Feng is not optimistic.

In the original history, England could not even qualify for the group stage in this tournament and went home directly.

However, now there are two variables, himself and Vardy, perhaps the situation will be different.

The goal Ling Feng set for himself is to assist once in the last game.

As for whether the Three Lions can go further, it depends on luck.

After handing the shoes to the equipment manager, Ling Feng followed the assistant coach and soon came to the separate floor where the players’ rooms were located.

The entire third floor was arranged and decorated just like a five-star hotel, with no difference.

Arriving at Room 308, the assistant coach handed a door card to Ling Feng and said:

“This is your room, and your roommate is Luke Shaw. He should be here soon, and it should be easier for you young people to communicate.”

“Thank you, coach.”

“Put your things away and go to the office. Mr. Hodgson wants to say hello to you.”

“Okay.”

The door was opened with a click of a button. The room was very large, similar to a suite in a star hotel.

After putting away his luggage, a national team staff member came to him with several sets of T-shirts and training suits and asked about his size.

After changing into a white T-shirt with the Three Lions logo on his chest, Ling Feng left.

Outside the head coach’s office, Ling Feng raised his hand and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Pushing the door open, Ling Feng saw Mr. Hodgson, who was dressed similarly to him, sitting behind his desk.

“Coach, how are you?”

“I’m fine, sit down.”

“Gather at nine o’clock, you’re half an hour early.”

“I wanted to come early to give you and your teammates a good impression.”

Hearing Ling Feng’s direct answer, Hodgson couldn’t help but smile slightly, then nodded and said: “Not bad, I like players who are punctual.”

“Thank you.”

After a few simple greetings, Hodgson said directly:

“I watched your performance in the final, which was impressive. I hope your pass can help the team’s forwards score more goals, just like you did in the club.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded and responded in a deep voice: “I will do my best!”

“Gather for training in an hour, you can get familiar with the base first and say hello to your teammates.”

“Understood, coach.”

Considering that it was his first day to report to the national team, he should pay his respects to the dock so that he could mix well in the future.

In his opinion, there are only three big men who have the right to speak in the faction-filled English locker room:

Double D, and “Little Fatty Rooney” Rooney!

So Ling Feng came to the reception desk, ready to greet his teammates one by one, and to chat with the team leaders.

After sitting on the sofa in the hall for a few minutes, a man with a backpack walked in from the main entrance.

And this man is the soul and legendary captain of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard, one of the “double D” captains of the Three Lions!

Say hello to everyone first

Sorry, I can’t update more.

The author has a cold.

I feel uncomfortable all day, and my head feels heavy.

I can only write 4,000 words. I’ll see if I feel better tomorrow and update more.
