Ivan Toney has been excluded from England’s national team after moving to Saudi Arabia.
The soccer statistics media “Transfermarkt” released the best 11 on its official SNS on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) consisting of players who were not selected for the national team even though they were not injured.
The formation was 3-1-4-2, with Gabriel Jesus, Tony, Marcus Rashford, James Medicine, Eberechi Eze, Musa Diaby, Douglas Luiz, Castello Luqueva, Fikayo Tomori, Bangjamain Pavard and Aaron Ramsdale named.
Tony is a striker who has been proven in the Premier League. Based on his outstanding physical strength, he dominates competition with opponents from the front line. He is also highly threatening as he is capable of shooting from any angle within the penalty box. As Tony moves well, he creates space for teammates.
In the 2021-22 season, Brentford’s promotion season, he scored 12 goals to stay, and in the 2022-23 season, he scored 20 goals before being disciplined, ranking third in the Premier League after Erling Holland and Harry Kane. However, a personal problem broke out. Tony was found to have made illegal bets. He violated betting regulations 232 times in about four years. In the end, Tony was banned for disciplinary action.
It wasn’t until the middle of last season that he returned. Tony made his comeback in the 21st round of the Premier League against Nottingham Forest and scored a goal right away. Tony made it clear that he is still in good shape. He still scored a goal afterwards, but his power diminished over time. Tony only scored four goals in 17 league matches, leaving a regret.
This summer, Tony had his first major competition experience, as he was included in the final squad for England’s Euro 2024. England had a top striker named Kane, so he did not have a chance easily. He played three replacements and made a valuable assist in the match against Slovakia in the round of 16.
The match between England and Slovakia went to extra time. Tony’s head scored the winning goal. In the first minute of extra time, Eze’s shot was missed and Tony floated the ball with his head. As Kane flooded in, England advanced to the quarterfinals with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory. 먹튀검증
Meanwhile, Tony left the Premier League this summer. His destination was Saudi Arabia. He is wearing Al Ahli’s uniform and is currently playing as a main striker. However, he has moved away from the English national team. It was natural. In addition to Kane, England has consistent strikers such as Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke. There is no reason to choose players who are playing in Asia.
