After Gerrard s "loser" remarks, England s 11-man mix of old and new players was revealed. Which one is the most controversial?

Gerrard has caused controversy again! The Liverpool legend said that his England teammates were "arrogant losers", but some people refuted: The golden generation can still occupy the starting lineup now!

Gerrard played 114 times for the England team that year, surrounded by superstars such as Rooney, Beckham, Lampard, and Scholes, but the English team never reached the quarterfinals of a major competition. Looking back on the past ten years, England has become a strong team in football, relying on team cohesion - today's players do not have so many celebrity airs, and there is no internal strife like Gerrard's era.

But what would it look like if we chose a mix of 11 players from the golden generation and current players? Some choices will definitely be noisy, but they can also solve many problems.

Goalkeeper: Pickford

There is nothing to argue about! Rooney even praised him as "underestimated" and that he can outperform Seaman and James. Since joining the team in 2017, Pickford has been the main player. In the 2018 World Cup, he saved points to help England win against Colombia. He almost made no mistakes. His passion and confidence are perfect for the England goalkeeper.

Guards: Walker, Ferdinand, Terry, Ashley Cole

The thickness of the golden generation of center backs is too ridiculous. Ferdinand and Terry are definitely a historical partnership - Terry's Chelsea-style hard work, Ferdinand's Manchester United-style ball, Stones and Maguire have no chance at all.

The right back was chosen between Gary Neville and Walker. Old Manchester City player Walker won with his speed. He can even guard top wingers like Mbappe. No one can beat Ashley Cole as a left back. He may be the strongest left back in the history of England. He often defended Ronaldo and lost his temper. It depends on whether Lewis Skilly can take over from him.

Midfielder: Rice, Gerrard, Bellingham

The English midfielder will never end the quarrel, but this time they chose these three: Rice is a real need, reliable in big scenes, can be a fulcrum and can pass the ball accurately. After Kane retires, Tuchel should let him be the captain; although Bellingham is working with Tuchel It's a bit contradictory, but the big competition can save lives. The barb against Slovakia in the European Cup last year was too good. Even if he is in average form, he can still surprise. He is more suitable than Foden;

If you choose Gerrard instead of Lampard or Scholes, some people will definitely be dissatisfied, but if you can only choose one midfielder in the golden generation, it has to be Gerrard. —— He always gives his best in the England jersey. Pele once said that he should win the Ballon d'Or in his peak period, partner with Rice, and free Bellingham to play in the attacking midfielder position.

Forwards: Rooney, Kane, Saka

Putting Rooney on the left to give Cainten the center position is not a fool's errand. Ferguson used it this way at Manchester United: "It's more dangerous for forwards to cut in from the wing!" Rooney is too talented, and his ability on the left is better than that of current and past English players. Before South Gate, there was no one on the left. Foden was not suitable and Rashford was out of form. Rooney was just the right one to make up for it.

This striker has the top two scorers in England's history. Kane is definitely the strongest center in the team's history. He is currently breaking records at Bayern. If they had big brothers like Rooney and Gerrard to help them in the European Cup and World Cup, they might have won the championship earlier.

Although Saka is often criticized by rival fans, he was too stable after joining the England team. He completely dominated the right wing. Many of his good performances in last year's European Cup were ignored, and his strength is useless.

Coach: Southgate

After 1966, no English coach can make fans feel that "football has come home" like Southgate. Even though his tactics were flawed, he was well-connected and led England to two major finals. He took over a bad team and turned it into a strong team. Although he did not dare to attack Italy in 2021 and it was a pity that he did not win the championship, but as a coach, he is very suitable to lead young players - Gerrard even praised him as "underestimated", and there is nothing wrong with this!
