Chapter 896

Scholes opened the starting lineups of these teams and the confirmed World Cup rosters, which are full of high-priced stars!

"For example, the England team. We have been following the England team for a long time. We also thought that the England team would win the previous European Cup. They did make it to the final, but lost to Spain in the final. Lin also played very well in that European Cup final!"

Scholes first opened the England team's World Cup roster. After all, before every World Series, fans are very optimistic about the England team, but England has not won the World Series for many years!

"There are too many high-priced players in the England team's starting lineup, such as Foden, Rashford, Bellingham, Rice, these players are all very expensive, and they also have Luke Shaw, Kyle Walker, Maguire, Stones and other stars on the back line."

"Pickford should still be the starting goalkeeper. Although he has been playing for Everton and has little chance to play in the Champions League, Pickford is a goalkeeper that Southgate trusts very much, and Pickford's performance in the England national team is indeed very good!"

"As for their center forward position, there are many outstanding players, but I think Kane will definitely be the starting player. After all, Kane is one of the most capable center forwards in today's football!"

Looking at the England team's roster, Scholes felt that this was the lineup that had just won the World Cup. As for what tactics to use, that would depend on head coach Southgate!

Gullit looked at the French team's roster. Apart from the Dutch team, Gullit was more optimistic about the French team because the French team's lineup was very standard, with superstars and star players!

"Although Spain has Lin, I don't think their chances of winning are as high as France's, because France has stars in every position!"

"In addition to Mbappe, there are also Griezmann, Giroud, Ousmane Dembele, Chuameni, Youssef Fofana who have performed well, as well as Theo Hernandez, Konate, Varane, Kounde in the back line, including goalkeeper Lori. I think this lineup is a strong contender for the championship!"

Scholes looked at the French team's roster and saw that there were stars in every position, even the substitute players were stars!

"Look at the French team's bench: Muani, Thuram, Pavard, Guendouzi, Coman, Camavinga!"

"These players can compete for the World Cup title if they form a team on their own!"

Scholes looked at the French team's luxurious lineup, and then looked at the Spanish roster.

"The most famous player in the Spanish squad is definitely Lin, who is also the most valuable player in the entire football world. His current value is still 300 million, but it is said that the transfer price is expected to further adjust Lin's value to 320 million, which will once again set a new record for the highest value of football players!"

"But apart from Lin, Spain's lineup is really not that good, especially their center forward. Morata is no longer trusted by Hierro, so there are almost no players in the Spanish squad who can play as a center forward this time. You can't let Lin play as a center forward, right?"

"There are also defensive midfielders and central defenders. Spain originally had a very good defensive midfielder, Rodri, but in this World Cup he should partner with Laporte to play as a central defender, because Spain really does not have any outstanding central defenders in this World Cup."

"Some young central defenders, such as Torres, will definitely not be able to start. As for the full-backs, Carvajal is old, and although Balde is young, he has not grown up yet, so it should be the combination of the last European Cup, that is, Alba and Azpilicueta!"

"And in the midfield, if Hierro plans to let Lin play in the midfield, his partners should be Pedri and Gavi. These two young midfielders are indeed very capable, but isn't it a bit too early for you to let them start in the World Cup?"

"I don't know what tactics Hierro plans to use in this World Cup, but I think Hierro must think clearly because his tactics are likely to affect the performance of these Spanish stars."

"They are all too young and have too little experience in World Cup competitions. The best they can do is to be stable in their positions."

"I think that this Spain team is completely led by Lin. He is the only core player. Spain relies on him to lead the team to the World Cup."

"So I think France should beat Spain, but the two teams may not meet in this World Cup. It depends on the grouping of the group. It may also be the same as the last World Cup, where they meet in the World Cup final. But France will definitely want to beat Spain this time!"

Scholes looked at Spain's substitute list. Balde, Pau Torres, Llorente, Sarabia and Ansu Fati were indeed too young. As for some veterans, such as Carvajal, their current condition is definitely not as good as when they were young.

Since the last European Cup, Spain has not had many outstanding young central defenders.

So Hierro has no outstanding central defender to use in this World Cup, only Laporte. Therefore, Hierro has already planned to let Rodri play as a central defender and partner with Laporte.

The one who is most concerned about the Spanish roster is Mbappe. Mbappe wants to become a World Cup champion so much, so Mbappe knows that if the French team wants to win this World Cup, its biggest opponent will definitely be Spain.

Deschamps also talked about the goal of this World Cup when he was having dinner with Mbappe. Deschamps also wants to lead the team to win the World Cup championship!

French fans also know that if you want to become the World Cup champion, you must defeat Spain and you must defeat Lin Chen.

Therefore, Spanish fans hope that the French team can be in the same group as the Spanish team, so that the two teams can talk directly in the group. Fans like to see the favorites to win the championship talk directly!
