Chapter 521 Incredible Magic!

England hit Slovenia at home with a record 9:0. This result made countless people fall into glasses, but it made England fans completely proud. Didn’t Cork still complain before? What else is there to say this time?

At the post-match press conference, Cork did not attend at all, and only Chen Chao took England captain Gerald to participate. Facing a group of football reporters, Chen Chao just smiled and threw a sentence: "I am very satisfied with this game. The result is perfect. I believe that with the strength of the team, we can continue to win until we qualify in the eighth group of the European Championship!"

"Chen, Chen, did the English team's tactics today come from Manchester United?"

Chen Chao laughed and said, "It's not from Manchester United, but from me and my coaching team. We have worked together for a long time. We know what kind of tactics can be used to take the initiative and win on the court!"

"Chen, are you sure England can still pass the European Championship qualifiers?"

"Of course! Is there any problem with this? We just need to spend the remaining four games... Oh, now it should be three games. We will win the remaining three games, so we will naturally pass the qualifiers."

"Chan, do you have confidence in passing the preliminaries?"

"Confidence? Haven't you seen the game just now? Do we need any confidence? Our strength is there, we can beat any opponent! Okay, let Steven answer some of your questions next! I'll leave first, goodbye to everyone!"

Chen Chao left a ** sentence and stood up and turned around and left. If there were no regulations, he would not want to participate in any post-match press conference. He has participated in countless times over the years. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the winners who have won and the losers who are unwilling to accept them. That's all.

The reporters asked Gerald some questions, and the captain of England always kept smiling and answered. He was not as unique as "Devil Chen", so his answer was also very smooth. Even if the reporters wanted to take it out of context, Gerald even said a lot about the reason for his victory. From the wise decision of the English Football League, to the personal strength of every English player in the English Premier League, the veteran who is used to seeing the world really took everything into consideration.

In fact, Gerald was still very excited about winning today's game. After all, he was already 35 years old. His days in the English national team lasted to next year's European Championship. He was already 38 years old at the time of the Russian World Cup. At that time... Next year's European Championship should be the only international competition in his life where he can still compete for the championship trophy, so Gerald was very happy that England could win the game and take a solid step to qualify for the group.

The aftermath caused by the English national team's fierce victory has not yet dissipated. Another round of the eighth group of the European Championship qualifiers has come. Just four days later, Chen Chao brought the England team to the Razdan Ilvan Stadium in the Republic of Armenia.

The England team's crazy victory four days ago still had a significant impact. Although many people think that England's team finally won a crazy victory because of home advantage and new tactics that made Slovenia unable to touch its mind, the Dutch head coach of the Armenian national team would never think so.

He once coached Schalke 04. Eindhoven's coaching ability is not weak. He was invited by Armenia's high salary to bring some confidence to Armenian football. Lütten fully understands that although Armenia only lost one away goal in its first encounter with England, that England team is definitely not the same team as the current England team. Just look at their ability to sweep Slovenia 9:0, you can know that this England team has returned to the right track, and their combat effectiveness is completely different from before. And most importantly, Armenia has only won one game in the eighth group and is at the bottom of the points, and they have no chance to qualify in the group.

So, Lütten seemed relaxed and serious at the pre-match press conference: "The England team is very strong, their strength is far above us. In today's game, my players and I can only fight for honor. We will try our best on the court, but we cannot guarantee that the result will be beautiful!"

Lütten seemed very low-key, and Chen Chao only announced the starting list of England's team in plain style, but his flatness showed his high profile and conceit as "Devil Chen", because in this game, Chen Chao made a very big adjustment to the starting lineup of the England national team. Apart from Rooney, Samba, and Defonso, there were only Jack Rodwell, Kudice Davis, and Glenn Johnson who started the last game. In this game, Chen Chao adjusted five players, including goalkeepers, especially England's midfielder, which was completely different from the previous game.

If it were just like this, the reporters would not be excited. The key is that in this game, Chen Chao sent 19-year-old Powell as the starting goalkeeper, 17-year-old Dean Dell played as the left back, 27-year-old Bolton midfielder M Emba replaced Gerald, and 21-year-old Stoke City midfielder Croft, and 17-year-old Birmingham midfielder Danny Jones. These five players are not only young, but also play for England for the first time, which means that Chen Chao completely regards Armenia as the target of training!

At this time, the reporters are still looking forward to the Armenian national team being able to use their home advantage to teach England some lessons in the game, and it is best to win the game directly in a flash. At that time, "Devil Chen" and his New England team will be attacked from all directions.

However, when the game started, the England team, who played away, actually took the initiative in the game as soon as they came up. After the young players injected vitality, the England team's defense was like a wall of iron in front of the Armenian national team, which was too weak. In the 90 minutes of the game, the Armenian team, who played at home, failed to get even a shot, and they were completely "small" by the England team!

On the contrary, although England was not as fierce as the last game in the game, they still had complete control of the game, and Samba received a cross from Defonso in 35 minutes of the first half to score.

As the game entered the second half, England still played very steadily. The 17-year-old and 19-year-old boys were completely nervous on the field, and Samba scored a long-range shot after stealing in the frontcourt at 61 minutes.

Afterwards, at 73 minutes of the game, Memba won a set piece for England at the top of the left arc. 17-year-old Danny Jones kicked a shocking S-shaped free kick with his left foot and directly kicked the ball into the upper left corner of the Armenian team's goal... 3:0!

After the game, 17-year-old Danny Jones not only scored a goal in his first match for the England national team, but also was named the best player of the game.

During the interview, the little guy shouted excitedly: "Thank you, boss! He gave me a chance to prove himself! Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss! Boss, I love you! Hahahaha!"

Danny Jones was already excited and proud, but it was not his fault. At the age of 17, he had just been promoted to the first team of Birmingham, and he played 7 starts and 11 substitutes for Birmingham in total, but this little guy scored 4 goals and had 2 assists. Chen Chao liked him not because he was a genius, but because his age and personal technical characteristics were very suitable for the current England team. Perhaps Danny could not play for the England team in the European Championship finals or the World Cup in Russia, but entering the roster to play qualifiers and other games can still help the young man grow up as soon as possible.

However, even Chen Chao himself did not expect that Danny Jones's debut would be so amazing!

At the press conference after the game, Chen Chao said with a smile: "I didn't expect the boys under my command to perform so well, but their performance is enough to show that the reserve force of English football is very strong. I will tap their potential as much as possible in future games, because the English team needs more excellent players and more talented players. Only in this way can we go further in the European Championships and the World Cup!"

After the end of this game in Armenia, the English national team temporarily rushed to the eighth group of the European Championship with a goal difference. However, the second-ranked Republic of Macedonia not only scored with England but also played one less game, while the third-ranked Belgium also played one less game, and the points were only 2 points less than England. Therefore, England could not make any mistakes in the next two rounds of the European Championship qualifiers. They will face their competitors Belgium and the Republic of Macedonia directly. Even if they just tied a game, England may have an accident.

But Chen Chao doesn't need to worry about these for the time being, because these two games will not be played until almost three months later in September. Now Chen Chao can finally put down the affairs of England and turn around to think about what the "Red Devils" Manchester United should do in the transfer market this summer!

However, Chen Chao obviously underestimated the ability of the English media to gossip. After Danny Jones played an excellent game for England, the English media began to spread rumors everywhere, claiming that Manchester United was very interested in Danny Jones, but the value of this little genius has soared from 2 million euros to 7 million!

Chen Chao looked at the news with a wry smile. He knew that he might have been used again, but......... No matter what, that little guy Danny is quite talented. If he could gain a foothold in Birmingham, his progress might be faster!
