Before the next round of the Europa League, each Premier League club ushered in the national team training day.

Although Lindy cannot represent England in the game, he is still on the training list.

After all, top players who have spent so much effort to become naturalized cannot be left alone.

There were quite a lot of people participating in the training camp this time, including three goalkeepers alone.

Including Lindy, there were 27 people in total.

But this is not the final 23-man roster, which will be announced in May.

Lindy didn't see specifically who was there, but he knew that Shuang De and Rooney must be there, and so must Hart.

As soon as he received the notice, Lindy found Gerald.

Lindy was chatting with Gerrard at his home when Hodgson called directly.

"Lin, it's me, Roy."

Gerald patted him on the shoulder and walked aside.

"Hello, boss." Lindy still behaved modestly.

"Ahaha, to make a long story short, the assistant should have informed you, so I'll just tell you a few words."

"Yeah." Lindy listened carefully, and seemed to have something to say.

"This is your first time meeting everyone. Don't feel pressured. Let me know when you arrive. I will pick you up and introduce your teammates to you personally." It sounds like Hodgson is very considerate and worried about Lindy.

I am unfamiliar with the place where I live and cannot adapt to the new environment.

Hearing that head coach Hodgson was worried about his integration into the team, Lindy felt warm in his heart.

Indeed, he has always had this worry.

The England national team also has factions:

the Liverpool faction headed by Gerrard;

Chelsea faction led by Frank Lampard;

Manchester United faction led by Rooney;

Relatively speaking, Arsenal and Manchester City have very few factions.

Because Manchester City was still in its infancy at this time, frequent personnel changes made it difficult for them to form a stable faction.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are unlikely to have factions.

Occasionally, someone who emerges will appear in the England national team, and they will basically be sold the next year.

So there are only these three factions left in the current England national team.

This is what Gerald told him just before the phone call.

"He told you to be careful?" Gerald asked with a smile.

Lindy shook his head, "Don't worry about meeting everyone, let me take the initiative to find him, and he will take the initiative to introduce me to everyone."

After saying that, the two laughed together.

Gerrard said it before setting off.

This time Liverpool has four players called up, namely Lindy, Gerrard, Johnson and Henderson.

Of course, everyone knows that Henderson may just be an addition.

In other words, they are weights used to balance the locker room.

After all, Manchester United and Chelsea have four players selected. If Liverpool has fewer players, the balance in the locker room may be broken.

As for why Lindy was asked to find him.

Both Gerrard and Lindy knew full well that they were not trying to ambush another person in the locker room.

Why say goodbye?

Because in their eyes, those who are not official members of the big6 are the head coaches of the national team.

Since he belongs to the head coach, he is not one of his own!

In fact, there is only one target, the defender from Everton: Baines.

"Actually, the England national team does not have such exaggerated factions, but coming from a club, it is definitely more trusting." Gerrard seemed to be worried that Lindy would have a bad impression of the England national team and wanted to explain.

"It's okay. I understand this. The Spanish national team's Real Madrid and Barcelona factions are like this. However, the Atletico Madrid faction may be added recently, hahahaha."

How could Lindy not know, whether it is the national team or the club level.

Wherever there are people, there will be factions.

Many times, it is not to suppress or exclude.

More often than not, it’s just for self-protection.

In other words, getting closer habitually.

Gerrard smiled helplessly: "It's really different. People from Manchester United and us seldom talk. Even the national team doesn't pass the ball very much unless necessary." He sighed, seeming helpless: "

This is the fact that the two teams have not even traded players for 48 years, which is simply unimaginable."

Lindy was shocked. It seemed that the situation was more serious than he thought.

Seeing Lindy like this, Gerald decided to say more.

"We are the favorites in every World Cup and European Cup, but we seldom achieve results. Why?"

Lindy shook his head, not wanting to answer the question.

Seeing Lindy's nervous look, Gerrard laughed: "Ah haha, you don't have to be like this. The problem with the England national team is because of this. We and Manchester United, the red and white teams in North London!"

"There are also Manchester United and Manchester City. Even if you are a newcomer in each club, after joining the national team, you will be taught this by the big brother."

Lindy frowned, this situation was more serious than he thought.

He thought for a moment and asked: "Are we going to do the same? Well, I mean not passing the ball to them?"

Gerrard shook his head, "The problem in the past was the competition for positions in the midfield and frontcourt. On the training ground, everyone would often pass the ball to their own people. In this way, it would appear that you were in better shape and it would be easier to get the starting spot."

Location."

"But in the game, if there is a chance, I will still pass the ball to them." He squatted down and looked at Lindy's questioning eyes. "Of course, if the position is better, I think I can seize the opportunity."

Well enough."

It seemed that he still felt that Lindy looked at him in a strange way. Gerald touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "You know, Rooney is actually very independent."

"Ah ha ha ha ha." Lindy finally understood what was going on.

Now that he knew what was going on, Lindy also understood what to do.

...

The next day, Lindy, along with Gerrard, Johnson and Henderson, boarded a plane to Poland.

Along the way, Henderson seemed very excited and asked Lindy this and that.

Glen Johnson simply closed his eyes and went to sleep. This was not the first time he had been drafted.

But after getting off the plane, while waiting for the luggage, Gerrard chatted with Henderson for half an hour.

Then Lindy saw Henderson walking out with his head hanging down.

It's normal for veterans in the workplace to tell newcomers about unspoken rules.

If you have any illusions, I suggest you shatter them in advance!

This scene also happened at Chelsea and Manchester United clubs.

Even Arsenal, which had just changed its captain, had people talking to Chamberlain and Theo Walcott.

Not to mention Tottenham's Defoe and Parker.

In this case, 27 people officially arrived in Krakow, Poland.

But on the first day they checked into the hotel, something happened that made most people happy but a few people very unhappy.

All of this has to start with the injury of Chelsea's main defender Cahill.
