When I was young and accomplished

Team training matches are generally used to examine the players' condition. The score does not mean much, but everyone knows that the main purpose of today's match is actually to test Alexander's quality.

　　The substitute team tried their best to pass the ball to Alexander's feet, but the main team's defensive players could not effectively restrain Alexander without using lethal moves. In the 60 minutes of the game, he was beaten four times Breaking the goal guarded by Joe Hart, one of them even had a header that he was not very good at but was quite powerful.

　　The backcourt players were overjoyed to have another strong player in the team, and the midfielders were also overjoyed to have a god-level pie-eater in the team. Only Welbeck, Sturridge and Defoe on the front line felt the same. There is an imminent threat.

　　As for Rooney, who is also a forward, his current status is as stable as Mount Everest. Of course, he will not regard Alexander as a competitor, but will quickly acquiesce that this kid will become his most important wingman in the future. Well, just like he was next to Ronaldo.

　　 No matter where you are, strength is the most powerful pass. In this way, Alexander gained high recognition from the coach and teammates through an intra-team game, and got on the road.

　　The Republic of San Marino is one of the smallest countries in the world, with a land area of 61.16 square kilometers and is bordered by Italy. In other words, it is entirely surrounded by Italy and is a country within a country.

　　The country's population is 32,448, and even if they all came to the venue, they couldn't fill the stadium.

　　Although a country's football strength is not directly proportional to its land area and population, it is indeed difficult to build a capable team with the size of San Marino. The San Marino national men's football team has always been at the bottom of the FIFA rankings. On the same level as Mongolia and Bermuda.

　　But although this doesn't work, that doesn't work, but this team has created its own highlight moment in the history of the World Cup: In November 1993, in the last round of the Italian World Cup qualifiers, only 8.3 seconds into the game, the San Marino striker Gualtieri took advantage of the opponent's defender's mistake and scored, setting a record for the fastest goal in the World Cup (including qualifiers).

　　And their opponent in that game was England.

　　Well, it is worth mentioning that it was Seaman who was guarding the goal for England at that time.

　　Everyone only knows that Seaman once served as Ronaldinho's background, but few people know that he also holds the record for the fastest goal conceded in the World Cup.

　　He is also a poor person…

　　"Hello, audience friends, the Group H match of the 2014 Brazil World Cup European Qualifiers is about to begin. In this game, the England team will challenge San Marino at the Stadio Olimpico in San Marino.

　　San Marino is currently ranked 207th in FIFA, which is the last place, while the England team is ranked 9th. The strength of the two sides is quite different.

　　The two teams have played against each other three times, and each time the England team has been able to beat their opponents. If there are no surprises, there should be no suspense about the outcome of this game. The biggest highlight is Alexanderneng, the young player who entered the national team for the first time. He cannot continue his hot streak at Arsenal.

　　Alexander is 17 years old this year. According to relevant regulations, he had an opportunity to change his nationality when he was 18 years old, but unfortunately, he finally chose to play for the England team, but we can also understand, um, and then wish him the best. Well, after all, he also has half of our blood, and his father is also an out-and-out Chinese…

　　Some media reported that England coach Hodgson specially adjusted the team's starting lineup and put Alexander into the starting lineup for this game, just to allow him to score in his debut. If the report is true, then Mr. Huo has good intentions this time…"

　　The English media are indeed very knowledgeable. Not only did they find out that Hodgson had adjusted the starting lineup, they also found out that the person who was pushed out of the starting lineup by Alexander was Sturridge.

　　They took it for granted that Hodgson felt that San Marino was easy to bully, so he specially sent Alexander to score a goal on his debut, but they didn't know that Alexander actually replaced Sturridge with his performance in training…

　　In the locker room, Hodgson did not emphasize any tactical issues, but specifically told everyone to protect themselves from injuries, because for the England team, this game is just a warm-up, and the next game is against Montenegro, which is first in the group. In the main event, if you lose troops to a team like San Marino, it will be too much.

　　Players from both sides entered the field, and the old man deliberately left Alexander until the end.

　　"Are you ready to shock the world, young man?"

　　"To be honest, I'm actually not ready," Alexander rubbed his shoulder length red hair, "For me, everything is like a dream. You know, just over two months ago, I even I was doubting whether I could become a professional footballer."

　　Hodgson was stunned for a moment.

　　He never imagined that this super genius would have such a low self-esteem.

　　"Football is a dream-like profession," he patted Alexander's shoulder and said sincerely, "Do you know what I like most about you? In you, I seem to see my original self, which is to put aside all utilitarianism. Right and wrong, return to the purest state of football itself…"

　　"Come on, you just like that I can score goals."

　　"Oh? Hahaha, yes, go ahead and score goals. Score many, many goals."

　　…

　　"The England team set up a three-forward formation, with Rooney, Defoe and Alexander appearing on the front together.

　　Everyone is familiar with Rooney and Defoe, but Alexander… well, everyone is actually more familiar with him, because he has been so popular recently.

　　Whether he is in Arsenal or the England team, he always starts the first game. This is somewhat of a record. I don't know what kind of magic this young man has. He can gain the trust of the head coach so easily. .

　　Okay, let's look at the starting lineup.

　　England 4-3-3.

　　Goalkeeper: 1-Hart;

　　Defenders: 2-Walker, 5-Lescott, 6-Smolin, 3-Baines;

　　Midfielder: 4-Gerrard, 7-Chamberlain, 19-Wilshere;

　　Forwards: 10-Rooney, 9-Defoe, 22-Alexander.

　　There are actually three gunmen in the England team's main lineup at the same time, which to a certain extent also reflects Arsenal's current hot state…"

　　"San Marino 5-4-1.

　　Goalkeeper: 1-J-Simone;

　　Defenders: 2-F-Vitaoli, 5-Delavala, 6-D-Simone, 11-Sibelli, 3-Palaz;

　　Midfielder: 9-Ceverini, 8-Borini, 4-Gasperini, 7-M-Vitaoli;

　　Forward: 10-Selva.

　　Although it may not be polite to say this, we can probably tell from the formation that San Marino's goal in this game should be only 1 point, or lose less and win instead…"

　　It was strange that Alexander didn't feel much at all when he stepped onto the field of the World Series for the first time.

　　There was no nervousness or trembling, nor was there any excitement. It was as calm as if he was preparing to play another intra-team game.

　　"Is it because the opponent is too weak?"

　　Neither side had fought yet, so it was too early to say who was stronger or weaker. But looking at the unconfident eyes of the eleven people on the opposite side, Alexander somewhat knew where his ease came from.

　　When playing against Bayern, he stood in the same position on the court and felt a mountain of pressure before the game even started. But now, the pressure from the opponents is like a breeze blowing on his face.

　　It can only be said that aura does exist and can be expressed in many details.

　　Alexander almost feels the same way now.

　　This one, I will kill indiscriminately!

　　"The game has started and England kicks off first."

　　"Rooney passed to Defoe, Defoe passed back to Chamberlain, Chamberlain took the ball away from the defense and gave it to Wilshere, Wilshere… long pass! Alexander!? GOALLLLL!!!!!!"

　　"…The first thing that this England team needs to solve is actually the old problem of how to coexist. The previous coaches have done it…Ah? Alexander! Hit the goal! The ball went in! It only took seven seconds to start! Alexander is here Received a pass from Wilshere in the penalty area and volleyed directly into the goal…"

　　"Viewers, if you have just turned on the TV or switched to this channel, please don't doubt your eyes. You are not wrong. The game has just started, and the score has indeed become 0-1! And this It was a very difficult volley that was very enjoyable to watch! Wilshere passed the ball beautifully and Alexander played brilliantly!"

　　"Before the game, many media were guessing how many games and minutes it would take Alexander to score his first goal for the national team. Now the answer is out: 7 seconds…"

　　"Alexander broke the record for the fastest goal in the World stage! Just on the last opponent who set this record, he created a new miracle!

　　In the first game of the England team, the first touch of the ball in the England team, and the first shot in the England team, Alexander helped the England team wash away the shame that had been printed on them for a whole decade!

　　The person who should thank Alexander the most should be Seaman, because after this goal, he is finally no longer the goalkeeper who has the fastest goal scored in the history of the World Cup! "

　　"Congratulations to Alexander, who became the youngest goalscorer in the history of England at the age of 17 years and 217 days. The previous record holder was his teammate Rooney!

　　Rooney made his debut for the national team when he was 17 years and 111 days old, becoming the youngest member of the England national team at the time. This record was later broken by Theo Walcott, but he set the record for the England team when he was 17 years and 317 days old. The record for the youngest goalscorer remains to this day.

　　Of course, Alexander has also become the youngest scorer in the history of England, and the person behind him is the recently retired Michael Owen! "

　　A replay of the goal began to appear on the screen.

　　Rooney passed the ball to Defoe, Defoe passed back, Chamberlain took the ball and dawdled for a while, and then Wilshere suddenly made a long pass to the lob, while Alexander immersed himself in running forward in the first second of the game, rushing all the way. In the opponent's penalty area.

　　The half-court length of the San Marino Olympic Stadium is about 50 meters. The distance from where Alexander shot the shot is about 7 meters, which means that he ran about 43 meters in this wave. In terms of running, running 43 meters in 7 seconds is not the same as running 43 meters in 7 seconds. It's not something to be proud of, but if he has to observe, move, and shoot in these 7 seconds, it's amazing.

　　San Marino's defenders were like logs. Some followed up to defend, but after a few steps they found they couldn't keep up and then gave up.

　　Someone wanted to block his shot, but they didn't expect that the football had already flown from Alexander's feet as soon as he started.

　　This level of coordination and shooting is beyond their ability to understand.

　　One dares to pass and the other dares to shoot.

　　Alexander ran to the sidelines, jumped on the billboard, and pointed a finger towards sky.

　　The teammates behind him ran over and looked at the arrogant and domineering figure. For a moment, they didn't know what kind of reaction they should give.

　　Hodgson rubbed his eyes dramatically and then cheered.

　　"Thank God, thank Wenger, what kind of monster did you get for me…"

　　In Manchester, Ferguson in front of the TV now also wants to thank Wenger's 18th generation ancestors.

　　He originally wanted to see Rooney, but unexpectedly he saw the scene he least wanted to see.

　　Now he really wants to call Wenger and ask gently, can he use Alexander to redeem Van Persie? If not, I can still catch up with a Welbeck…

　　In London, Wenger, who had no idea he had just received two thank-you cards, turned on the TV and saw Alexander celebrating.

　　He thought the game hadn't started yet, and what was being played was a short video introducing the players, but when he saw the England jersey Alexander was wearing, his whole body suddenly became excited.

　　Look at the upper left corner again, what the fuck? !

　　San Marino 0-1 England, 56 seconds of game time.

　　Then extrapolating it back, the scoring time should not be more than ten seconds at most? !

　　"Buy it, who told me what happened?"

　　The commentary and replays quickly told him what happened. The professor was as happy as if he had drank a large glass of cold beer in the dog days of summer. He wanted to tell the whole world loudly: This kid is mine student!

　　Alexander jumped off the billboard, and Wilshere immediately rushed over. After kneeling on one knee, he involuntarily took his left foot and put it on his own knee, and pretended to wipe it.

　　Chamberlain, who was a step behind, was so angry that he wanted to kick his butt.

　　Damn it, he got ahead of me…

　　Alexander pulled the little threat up, and the two raised their hands and struck hard.

　　"Good job bro, I knew you could get in."

　　"The opponent is too weak. How about we get a big one?"

　　"It could not be better."

　　Rooney also came up to hug Alexander and congratulated him, but turned around and fell into deep self-doubt.

　　In terms of speed, he thinks he is not much worse than Alexander;

　　In terms of strength, Alexander is at best about the same as him;

　　When it comes to technology, he thinks he is better than Alexander in three ways;

　　In terms of shooting skills, well, he admitted that Alexander might be slightly better than him…

　　Then what? Why is it so easy for this kid to score a goal?

　　I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.
