August 28, 2012, Pireston, Deepdale Stadium.
What is being held here today is a match in the second round of the 2012-2013 English League Cup. The home team Preston plays against Crystal Palace at home.
To be honest, there should be no suspense in this game.
Preston are currently in the third tier of English league. There have been three rounds of English League One games. Preston have 2 draws, 1 loss and 2 points. They have scored 1 goal and conceded 2 goals, ranking 20th in English League One.
It can be said that it is a relegation team in the English League One, so its strength is naturally very strong.
In fact, Preston had a great reputation at the beginning. They were a founding member of the Football League. They won the league championship and the FA Cup in the first top-level league, becoming a double champion.
But after that, they continued to sink, and even now they have never played in the Premier League.
In recent years, they have even sunk to the English League One.
This season's performance in English League One is also very unsatisfactory, and it is one of the favorites for relegation.
Judging from the current progress of the league, Preston is really not good at offense and defense. At present, they have only scored one goal in three rounds. This offensive power is really not good.
How could such a team win against Crystal Palace, which currently ranks second in the English Championship and has scored 8 goals in three games?
However, Preston head coach Simon Grayson is very confident.
Before the game, he made bold claims that his team would definitely be able to defeat Crystal Palace. In his words, "Chinese people know nothing about football, and it will be easy for us, Preston, to beat them!"
I don’t know where this England coach’s confidence comes from, or is it that the British are generally so proud and look down on foreigners?
At this time, Grayson, dressed in sportswear, stood on the sidelines very confidently.
As the host, he had no intention of welcoming Tong Yi, and even pretended not to see Tong Yi, or that Tong Yi was not in his eyes at all. Naturally, Tong Yi's outstretched right hand was ignored by Grayson
Already.
Sure enough, this Grayson is really too arrogant.
Commentator Mortensen and guest commentator Shearer both couldn't stand it anymore and felt that Grayson had gone too far.
Tong Yi chuckled, not feeling embarrassed, took back his right hand and touched his nose, then turned and left.
Before returning to his coaching bench, Tong Yi said coldly to the team captain Speroni, "Tell my players not to hold back and score as many goals as they can. After the game, I didn't want to
You can still put a smile on the face of Preston people, do you understand?"
Speroni was startled, and then nodded immediately!
This was the first time he had seen Tong Yi like this.
hiss!
It seems that Preston is going to be finished today. How did you provoke this big devil?
Speroni immediately walked into the stadium and told everyone in the stadium
The players conveyed Tong Yi's latest instructions. The Crystal Palace players were also stunned for a moment, and then they all became serious. Where was the laughter from before?
Crystal Palace people need to be serious!
The captain of Crystal Palace is actually Patrick McCarthy, but he is still recovering from a serious groin injury, so vice-captain Speroni became the captain of Crystal Palace.
Looking at the expressions of the Crystal Palace players in the stadium, Preston’s assistant coach Green S.
Nordin came to Grayson's side with a worried look on his face and said weakly, "Wouldn't it be bad if we scorned and angered him like this?"
Si.
Nordin has no prejudice against the Chinese because he served as the head coach of the reserve team at Charlton Athletic from 2000 to 2006, and he led the team to win two reserve league championships in 2004 and 2005.
But Charlton Athletic has begun to pay attention to China Zheng.
Nordin also had a lot of opinions, and he was also very optimistic about China Zheng. Although, when China Zheng later joined Charlton Athletic, he had already left Charlton to coach the Southampton first team, but later he also
Always pay attention to Huaxia Zheng's performance.
Therefore, he has no prejudice against Chinese people.
Grayson immediately said, "So what if I irritate him? He's a Chinese guy and he knows nothing about football. What's there to worry about? Don't worry, we, Preston, will win this game!"
Why!
Si.
Nordin also sighed. He didn't know where Grayson's confidence came from.
Crystal Palace is the second-ranked team in the English Championship, and is also the only team to maintain a complete victory in the English Championship this season. How can our relegation team in League One compete with Crystal Palace? Where does your confidence come from?
Moreover.
Nordin doesn't just make judgments based on rankings, he has studied the skills and tactics of this Crystal Palace. Now this Crystal Palace is playing a completely different football than blocking all the English Championship and English League One teams, and even more
The main thing is that this tactic is very powerful and can restrain teams with rough skills like theirs.
A team with rough foot skills will have many problems with passing and stopping the ball.
If they are under high pressure, they will make more mistakes in passing and receiving.
Didn't you see the first round of the English League Cup this season? Exeter City was completely screwed because of this.
Si.
Nordin is also a little worried now.
Because he knew very well that the players on his Preston team were also very rough with their feet.
In this game, they are hanging by a thread!
If you try to anger Tong Yi at this time, aren't you lighting a lantern in the toilet and seeking death?
In the media box in the stands, Harris stared at the ball
Manet on the field, his face was full of contempt and sneer. Tong Yi, a soft-boiled guy, still dares to let Manet start. Are you looking for death?
Harris glanced at Webster, and then said contemptuously, "Just take a good look at this game. Are you and Mane a fool?"
Webster raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
Harris smiled proudly and said, "This Mane is a bullshit genius, and this Tong Yi is also a bullshit super bole. You have all been deceived by him!"
Webster ignored it!
In his opinion, it should be very easy for Crystal Palace to win this game.
Preston's strength is indeed not strong.
beep!
Soon the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game. As soon as the game started, Preston came out to attack directly. It seemed that they wanted to take advantage of the home court to get the head start and give the Crystal Palace people a chance.
Show off your power.
But soon the people of Preston discovered something was wrong.
It was difficult for them to attack the center of the Crystal Palace penalty area, and the ball was quickly intercepted by the high-intensity pressure of the Crystal Palace people.
Sure enough, the roughness under their feet was too obvious.
It is difficult for them to accurately stop the football in the most comfortable position around them. Either the stop is too big or the position is uncomfortable. They need to make unnecessary movements to adjust the football and control the football, and then make the next reaction.
.
The pressure from the Crystal Palace people was very intense and came very quickly.
Under such high pressure, Preston made more and more mistakes in passing and receiving, which easily stole the ball from the Crystal Palace people.
After stealing the ball, the Crystal Palace people immediately launched a quick counterattack.
The Crystal Palace counterattack is very fast, often passing two or three passes directly into Preston's penalty area, and then completing the shot.
Grayson was stunned by this!
How is this possible?
He was completely intimidated by the strength displayed by the Crystal Palace team, which was beyond his imagination.
Si.
Nordin was very speechless. He told you not to provoke others before the game. You have to provoke others. Is that okay?
Harris’ face in the stands also looked very ugly!
The team led by Tong Yi, who was ridiculed by him, actually showed such strength. It was really a slap in his face. His face was almost swollen. Now the only comfort for Harris is Mane.
He is indeed a straw bag. Even with such an advantage, he did not perform well. This confirms that Mane is a straw bag.
Harris was still a little proud.
Tongyi, so what if you led Crystal Palace to win? You still lost! This guy Mane is the stain on your life and your biggest weakness until now!
Tongyi, your character is ruined!
Snapped!
r> A loud slap hit Harris on the face, knocking him unconscious!
Scored!
That idiot Mane who was ridiculed and ridiculed by him scored a goal!
Mane's goal was like a sharp dagger piercing into Harris's heart, making Harris instantly turn pale and his body tremble like chaff.
Harris looked very ugly because he saw pity on Webster's face and eyes!
Damn it, when did I, Harris, need your mercy?
Do I, Harris, look that pitiful?
Do I, the great Harris, need your pity?
In the stadium, Mane was very excited. He ran quickly to avoid his teammates who were rushing towards him, and then rushed directly into Tong Yi's arms, hugged Tong Yi tightly, and thanked him with great excitement, "Thank you, boss!"
Thank you for your trust, thank you, thank you!”
Tong Yi hugged Mane tightly and said, "Well done Sadio, just play like this!"
Mane's goal just now was very shocking.
Because Mane's forward speed is really too fast, Preston's defensive players simply cannot keep up with him. And Preston's two central defenders Chris Robertson and Paul Huntington are behind Mane's
It was like two wooden stakes in front of him, and they were passed by the dexterous Ma Nei very easily.
Both Robertson and Huntington are tall players, with their height reaching 191cm. They are really like wooden stakes in front of the very agile Mane.
Moreover, Mane's ability to continuously change directions in a small area is also very outstanding. At high speed, he easily smashed past these two people with continuous smashes, and then faced Preston's goalkeeper Thorsten Stuck.
Mann easily pushed the ball past the opponent's goal and sent the football into Preston's goal.
This ball looks really easy!
But anyone who really understands football knows that this is not simple!
If this little guy Mane wasn't fast enough, his body was flexible, and his ability to change directions at high speeds was excellent, he might not have been able to score a goal.
Although, this is the first goal scored by Mane!
However, anyone who knows football can see Mane's talent and characteristics from this goal.
At this time, Webster looked at the confused Harris, and he really felt a little distressed.
Hey, why did you question Mane?
Since Tong Yi, a super bole, values Mane, then there must be something unique about Mane and he must have some talent.
I said you still don’t believe it.
What now?
Harris saw Webster's expression, and his heart was even more hurt. He immediately said, "It's a fluke! It's just a fluke! It doesn't mean anything. This guy Mane is just a fool! He can't score again, never."
possible!"
