Of course, amidst the chorus of criticism against Capello, there were also some rational voices who spoke the real reasons.
"The players in this England National Team have overly rough footwork; besides relying on their physique, they can hardly even execute fluent attacking coordination."
Gary Lineker, currently the host of the BBC's flagship Premier League show 'Match of the Day', offered his opinion on the program:
"I know many people won't like hearing this, but it's the truth, and I have to say it."
"This current England National Team's footwork is too rough, and they frequently make passing errors in the midfield and attack. This is absolutely not how a strong team should perform."
"Furthermore, this current England National Team doesn't have a true striker."
"Of course, I don't mean to disrespect Peter Crouch or Defoe by saying this."
"But what England truly needs is a super striker who can consistently score goals against any opponent!"
"Clearly, neither Peter Crouch nor Defoe can do that."
Hearing Gary Lineker's words, his co-host asked, "Then what kind of striker do you think is suitable for the current England?"
Gary Lineker heard this and didn't hesitate, stating directly, "Without a doubt, a super striker like Fly Adams is most suitable for England."
"We all know that the Football Association originally wanted to call up this kid, but due to his injury during the last Arsenal match against Blackburn, the Football Association temporarily gave up."
"I know what those officials are thinking; they believe England is so strong that it doesn't matter even without Fly."
"They don't want to personally go to Fly and ask him to join the England National Team."
"They are fantasizing in their hearts that Fly will take the initiative to seek them out, after all, if Fly plays for the United States, he will be forever without the World Cup."
"But what I want to say is, never try to test a superstar."
"Especially a young and spirited superstar."
"Testing this kind of player will ultimately result in more loss than gain."
"What the Football Association should do now is lower their stance and personally invite Fly to join the England National Team."
"With a divine striker like Fly, the England National Team can immediately become a strong contender for the title."
"We can clearly see one fact from this match against Montenegro: the finishing ability of England's forwards is insufficient."
"Their final touch is always lacking."
"Many chances were clearly created, but they just couldn't score."
"In this situation, if Fly were on the field, England would have won the match long ago."
"Fly, I don't know if you can hear me, but I want to say to you here, come to the England National Team, you will win everything!"
"Likewise, we need you too!"
When Gary Lineker's statement spread, the entire England was shaken once again!
Many fans, football professionals, and media reporters began discussing this topic animatedly.
Among them, those who agreed with Gary Lineker were numerous, and not a small number.
This is because after years of repeated disappointment from the England football team, they have completely recognized the true nature of this team.
The so-called Three Lions are a pseudo-strong team!
Many of England's stars are the kind whose fame far exceeds their actual skill level.
Of course, there were also many opponents; many English people felt that Gary Lineker was too sycophantic towards Fly Adams, this American, and it was simply a disgrace to their Great Britain!
What?
Fly Adams was born in the United Kingdom?
What did that have to do with them?
They only knew that Fly Adams's father was from an American minority group, and his mother was a genuine, pure-blooded American.
How could a child born to such parents not be an American?
Asking their noble English people to kneel and beg a North American nouveau riche was absolutely impossible!
In short, Gary Lineker's words immediately dragged Fly into the vortex of public opinion.
Of course, Fly himself was indifferent to this.
Because he had long guessed that the English would definitely go on another drunken rampage.
Fly really didn't have any good feelings for this group of people descended from pirates.
He was even caught red-handed by the Fleet Street media reporters waiting outside the Kearney Training Base.
"Fly, what do you think of Gary Lineker's evaluation of the England men's football team?"
"What do you think of his evaluation of you, and will you respond to the Football Association's call and join the England National Team?"
"..."
Listening to the chattering crowd in front of him, Fly's forehead couldn't help but darken.
These media reporters are truly annoying!
Previously, during Arsenal's matches, because Wenger was blocking them, Fly escaped media interviews every time.
This time, it might be because the wave of public opinion stirred up by Gary Lineker was simply too large.
Furthermore, the England men's football team has always been the focus of attention throughout England, so Fleet Street media reporters are extremely focused!
When the England football team and Fly, this suddenly emerging super genius, are linked together, the heat generated is enough to drive Fleet Street crazy!
This is why the scene of a crowd waiting for Fly outside the Kearney Training Base occurred.
Facing the reporters' cameras and microphones, Fly waved his hand, only exchanging a few pleasantries and not saying much else: "I am very happy that a renowned England legend thinks highly of me; I am honored."
"I did not watch the England football team's match, so I don't know exactly what happened."
"But I think this should just be an accident, nothing significant."
"After all, sometimes in football matches, you enter a 'system game' where you can't score no matter how you attack."
"With the Premier League, the world's number one football League, England football will eventually rise."
Fly avoided the topic most concerning the media, "whether to join the England team," and left directly.
He is now very clear that to make those pot-bellied Football Association officials lower their heads and beg him with great ceremony, he must keep them hanging and not show any indication that he "particularly wants to join the England team."
Otherwise, that group of fat-headed guys will definitely wait unmoved for Fly to apply voluntarily.
If it really turned into such a situation, wouldn't Fly be devaluing himself?
As the future GOAT of football, the standard must be maintained!
Only others can invite me; I absolutely cannot beg others myself.
With this thought in mind, Fly directly ignored questions about "joining the England team."
Seeing Fly's attitude, many Fleet Street media outlets also exploded.
What does this mean?
Could it be that Fly Adams has no intention of playing for the England football team?
This... what should be done?
Instantly, public opinion throughout England boiled over again.
