The England national team recently announced the new selection list. The players selected by the team leader Huffki can be described as “familiar” (even McGuire and Sole, who lost the main election at Manchester United, are still selected), the only thing that brings fans to the team. The only surprise is center Ivan Toney, who has continued to perform well in Bingford in recent seasons.
Tony, who is 26 years old, has not had an easy football career. Born in Norhamton, a small town north of London, he joined the local club for youth training at the age of 8, and made his first team debut at the age of 16, breaking the club’s youngest Battle record. After three seasons of training in League Two, Tony won the beckoning of Premier League club Newcastle in the summer of 2015. Unfortunately, after joining, he has never “flyed to the top and turned into a phoenix”. He has only played for Newcastle twice in the past. In the Premier League, the total playing time is only 10 minutes, and Tony’s status in Newcastle can be called “dispensable”.
In the 2015/16 season, the unhappy Tony started his career as a “player” and was loaned to many low-level clubs such as Bansney, Salisbury, Scunthorpe, Wigan and so on. . It wasn’t until the summer of 2018 that Tony finally found the right stage – joining Peterborough in League One, and was reused by two managers including Darren Ferguson (son of Manchester United’s legendary manager Ferguson), becoming the main force of the team. forward. In the 2018/19 season, Tony played 44 games in League One, scoring 16 goals and 7 assists, becoming the team’s leading scorer. In the following season, Tony went a step further, scoring 24 goals and 6 assists in 32 League One matches. Although Tony was the top scorer in League One for the season, Peterborough ranked seventh for two consecutive years. Can be promoted to the British Championship.
In the 2019/20 season, Bingford, who was still in the Championship, lost to Fulham in the promotion play-off final and missed out on being promoted to the Premier League, but he performed well throughout the season and scored 42 goals in the Championship. , Binghua Ma were poached by Aston Villa and West Ham respectively in the Premier League, so the team leader Frank decided to introduce Tony to replace them. As a result, Tony lived up to his high hopes and scored 34 goals in the Championship in the 2020/21 season (breaking the record for a top scorer in the Championship at the time) and handed over 10 assists, including in the promotion play-off 3 matches He scored 2 priceless goals and became the team’s number one hero who eliminated Bunnymouth and Swans successively and played in the Premier League for the first time in history!
Last season, Tony made his debut in the Premier League again after 6 years. Although he failed to continue the scoring rate in the League One and Championship in previous seasons, considering the overall strength of Bingford, Tony still scored 12 goals (including the match against the Premier League). In the Norwich game, he scored a hat-trick for the first time in the Premier League) and handed over 5 assists, his performance must be more than qualified.
In this summer’s transfer window, although Tony has been associated with Everton, Newcastle, and even Manchester United, he still stayed at Bingford and scored 5 goals in 6 Premier League games this season, second only to Charant and Midu Nuyue are tied for third place in the scorer list, along with England’s chief center, Hallijani. It is worth noting that in addition to possessing the grasp needed by a striker, Tony also showed his aggressiveness in transmission from time to time. In the 4-0 sack of Manchester United by Benford, Tony handed over 2 assists. In addition, Tony “wears a cap” again in the earlier game against Leeds United. The 3 goals include 12 yards, a free kick and a calm “shoot”, which fully reflects his attacking “number of flaps”. .
Earlier, Evantoni gave up the opportunity to represent the Jamaica national team and waited for England’s call-up; now he has finally won the trust of the team leader Huvki with his fiery state this season. While Tony is unlikely to threaten Hallijani’s seat even if he ends up winning the World Cup finals two months away, he’s certainly more than capable of being a secret weapon. According to Tony’s growth trend in recent seasons, he can become another inspirational story of the success of low-level players after Huadi.
