(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Hong-seok = Strikeman Jesse Lingard (29), who revived in England’s professional football West Ham United, returns to the’Three Lions Corps’.
The English Football Association (FA) included Lingard when announcing a list of national team convocations for the March A match (international team match) on the 19th (Korean time).
It has been two years since 2019 that Lingard returned to the national team.
Lingard was once called the’future’ of Manchester United (Man United) and England, but is evaluated for not growing up to expectations.
He ended up scoring 33 goals in 10 seasons for Manchester United on loans to the lower league teams several times.
However, from his youth days, as he left Manchester United and set up a new nest in West Ham earlier this year, Lingard began drawing a steep upward curve.
He played 6 games in the league alone and scored 4 goals and 2 assists.
With Lingard’s addition, West Ham, who gained a lot of wins in the second half, went up to fifth in the league.
After Lingard’s clear performance, England coach Garrus Southgate reached out again.

Southgate said, “It is true that Lingard has been given a chance because many of the national team’s attacking resources have been injured.”
I did not forget to point out that the current performance should be maintained’constantly’.
Southgate, referring to both Luke Shaw (Man United) and John Stones (Manchester City), who are returning to the national team after a long time, said, “Lingard is lucky among the three players. The other two have shown steady performance for a long time.” Said.
England will compete in three straight matches against San Marino, Albania and Poland in the 2022 Qatar World Cup Europe qualifiers during the March A match.
It is noteworthy whether Lingard, who played an active part in England’s quarterfinals at the 2018 Russia World Cup, will be able to regain his position in the former national team.
