The Premier League Double Red Club this season has deepened the grievances between Liverpool and Manchester United.
In the interview after the game, Rooney also declared that the penalty was the correct penalty, which caused everyone to ridicule.
The penalty kick in the World Cup was not scored, but the penalty kick in the Premier League was accurate. Rooney was ridiculed as a civil war outsider.
But in general, Liverpool did not let Manchester United double play, which is very good.
Liverpool double-killed Manchester United last season. Liverpool's state is not good this season, but Manchester United is holding back its energy and wanting to double-kill Liverpool for revenge.
After the double red meeting, the next two weeks of national team game days.
At present, the head coach of the England national team has been replaced by Southgate. A few weeks earlier, Southgate began to call Jackie Lee, who wanted to make a beautiful debut.
On this national team match day, the England team had two matches, namely the European preliminaries against Lithuania at home and the warm-up match against Italy away.
After seeing Southgate, Jackie Lee expressed his thoughts.
"Gareth, don't worry, I will definitely play well against Lithuania."
"But for the warm-up match against Italy, you have to figure out your own way."
Li Chenglong only intends to play in the European preliminaries with Lithuania, and Li Chenglong will not participate in the warm-up match with Italy. This is the result of his comprehensive consideration.
The current Liverpool schedule is very tight. After this national team match day, the Champions League quarter-finals are coming again, so Jackie Lee needs to arrange the game reasonably.
Of course, the European preliminaries must be played well, otherwise Jackie Lee and Southgate are not easy to explain.
On March 27th, the European preliminaries between England and Lithuania will start at Wembley Stadium.
Lithuania is a standard small European country with a total population of just over 2 million.
Moreover, Lithuania is also one of the countries with the most negative population growth in the world. They are declining by about 40,000 people every year. In 60 or 70 years, Lithuania will basically disappear from the earth.
But when it comes to sports, Lithuania is not European enough, because they are one of the few countries that don't pay enough attention to football.
In Lithuania, basketball is their number one sport, and the penetration rate is very high, similar to the penetration rate of table tennis in China.
Moreover, Lithuanians really like basketball. Only in the years when there are international basketball competitions. In the ratings of all domestic TV programs in Lithuania, the top ten will definitely be occupied by basketball games, and the top three are definitely all basketball.
Therefore, Lithuania is a country of small objects. Their basketball level is very high. They have won the men's basketball European championship many times. Although they have never won the Olympic men's basketball championship, they have also won three medals.
Lithuania’s basketball level is indeed very high, but their football level is much worse. Their football national team has long been ranked outside 150, which is worse than China, and has never scored in any football competition. International competition.
So from this perspective, Lithuania is indeed quite different.
In Europe, football is undoubtedly the number one sport. Even if a few national teams pay more attention to basketball, they are definitely not as good as football, such as Spain, France, and Serbia.
Even in many European countries, many of them don't even know what basketball is, such as Germany.
Germany is one of the most influential countries in Europe, but they missed basketball for a long time until Nowitzki such a successful NBA basketball superstar appeared.
If you interview on the streets of Germany, ask how the Germans learned about basketball. Most of them answered that they only knew about basketball through Nowitzki.
Before Nowitzki, most Germans did not know that there was a sport like basketball in the world.
Even Nowitzki is a basketball superstar, but in fact he didn't specialize in basketball at the earliest.
Nowitzki played football when he was a child and later changed to tennis. This is the most common sport in Germany.
Football, tennis and racing are the three most popular sports in Germany.
But later, as the body grew taller and taller, Nowitzki had to change to basketball, a sport that requires height but is hardly ever sought after in Germany.
It is said that Nowitzki's grandfather had heard that his grandson had changed his basketball practice, so he went to find people to find out what basketball was.
In general, Lithuania is a rare basketball strong country supported by small shots. It is also a standard football weak country. Its international football ranking is similar to that of Andorra, Macedonia, and Luxembourg.
Southgate was of course very satisfied with such a super big team in his first show. His goal is to win Lithuania cleanly at home.
At Wembley Stadium, Southgate arranged for Jackie Lee to start while allowing Rooney to play as a substitute.
This is also the expected arrangement. The contradiction between Jackie Lee and Rooney has become more and more obvious. Of course, Southgate will not arrange for both of them to start at the same time.
When Jackie Lee does not participate in the next warm-up match against Italy, Rooney may be able to start.
This time England played a 433 formation, with Lee Chenglong, Sterling and Welbeck forming a striker trident.
Lithuania's strength is really not good, most of the team is worth less than a million.
So the game is basically a one-sided slaughter.
In the opening 8 minutes, Li Chenglong scored through a long shot to help the team open the record.
Before the end of the first half, Li Chenglong received a pass from Henderson and scored a goal, completing his personal brace twice.
In addition, Welbeck also scored a header in a corner kick, so England had a 3-0 lead in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, Li Chenglong tried his best to find opportunities and finally scored through a free kick in the 64th minute and completed a hat trick.
At the same time, Sterling and Kane, who came on the bench, both scored goals, bringing England to a standard massacre at Wembley Stadium.
Li Chenglong led the team with a hat-trick to help England slaughter Lithuania 6:0 at home and won the fifth straight victory in the European preliminaries.
Although it is a hat trick, the strength of Lithuania is really not strong, so there is not much to show off.
However, this is Southgate's first show, and it is also the first time that Jackie Lee has returned to England since the World Cup in Brazil last year. It is still meaningful.
Anyway, the English media are very happy. They look for topics and use this hat trick to make up topics with Rooney and Hodgson.
After the European preliminaries with Lithuania, the England team is ready to go to Italy for a warm-up match.
Last year's World Cup, Italy's group stage exit was not directly caused by England, but it was also inextricably linked to England. After all, England directly defeated Italy in the group stage, and Lee Chenglong also came off the bench to complete a hat trick~www.mtlnovel. com~ Now this warm-up match, the Italians just want revenge.
But Jackie Lee, the executioner of last year's World Cup, did not go to Italy with the team, which was disappointed by Italian fans.
In the absence of Jackie Lee, Rooney once again started as the core.
Maybe he really wants to prove himself, but Italy's strength is really not weak, especially now that the head coach is changed to Conte.
Italy scored two goals in the first half, Henderson scored a long shot in the second half, but England eventually lost 1:2 away.
The Italians completed their revenge, but the lack of Lee Chenglong, a key player, always made them feel that something was missing.
So after the game, there were Italian fans who spoke in front of the reporters, saying that Jackie Lee was a coward and did not dare to accept the Italian challenge.
Jackie Lee stayed in England well, but he was still involved in the game over there, which probably means people are afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong.
