Chapter 24 The fierce British Championship!
A-level Nicky Butt is a member of Manchester United's Class of 92.
He is one of the founders of Manchester United's golden era, and his career is full of honors. As a midfielder, he was even called Robson's successor. Perhaps due to bad luck, he met Roy Keane and Roy Keane who were in good form.
As a result, Gerrard lost his main position in both the club and the national team, and was unable to fully realize his talent in the past. Even so, his strong style and tenacious defense are commendable.
S-level Gabriel Batistuta is one of the most impactful centers in the world.
He is a representative of Argentina's golden generation, a perfect figurehead of two-time America's Cup champions, South American Footballer of the Year, World Cup Silver Boot, and third place in World Footballer. Each of his dazzling honors has already made him a famous player in Argentina.
During his club career, his loyalty to Fiorentina and his persistence after relegation allowed him to achieve the miracle of Viola; and finally winning the league championship after moving to Roma also allowed the world-class striker to get his wish. Comprehensive skills,
He has strong breakthrough ability and is good in the air, especially his violent shooting. He is also known as "BATIGOL" and is famous around the world.
S-level Patrick Vieira is a representative of the golden generation of the French national team and the captain of Arsenal at his peak.
He is the mainstay of France's golden generation and was once one of the best B2B midfielders in the world. The 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Cup were his most dazzling national team glory. At the club level, he was undefeated.
The mainstay of the season, the core captain, and the founder of Arsenal's glory. After moving to Serie A, he also won four Serie A championship trophies. Due to unreasonable career planning, he could not transform from a star to a superstar before, but even so, both offensive and defensive
Good, strong physical characteristics, extremely bright and admirable.
Those three stars are all Xia Xing's favorites, so Xia Xing is very happy to have the opportunity to obtain their exclusive cards.
And the mission objectives are not difficult to achieve.
Championship appearances, Championship starts, Championship goals, wins, clean sheets...
It shouldn't be a big problem.
Looking forward to summer trip!
Could it be that it took two days for Xia Xing to realize the cruelty of competition?
Not to mention starting, scoring goals, winning, and keeping clean sheets, it is very difficult to even get into the team's squad...
In August and March, the first round of the English Championship game of this season came as scheduled.
Leicester City visited the Riverside Stadium to challenge their powerful rival Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough ranked high last season, and they had a pretty good record against strong teams.
But because the team is stable, it has not been able to reach the promotion play-offs before.
Coming back this season and playing at home, they are full of desire for victory.
Leicester City played with all their main players, still in a 4-4-2 formation.
Goalkeeper Schmeichel.
Four defenders from left to right: De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, Liam Moore.
The four midfielders from left to right are Lloyd Dale, Andy King, Drinkwater and Matthew James.
The two forwards are Vardy and Chris Wood.
As fans expected, Pearson changed the starting forward in that game.
As in previous friendly matches, Vardy and Chris Wood will be the starters for the new season.
In the season, the forward combination of Conoket and Nugent went to the bench.
On the bench, there was no sign of Xia Xing.
It was the fault of the young man who came on temporary loan that Pearson did not give him a chance.
From the first minute of that game, the two sides started fighting to the death.
Middlesbrough is not good at attacking, their biggest reliance is defense.
Hoyt, the talented defender from Arsenal's youth training, is the iron gatekeeper of Middlesbrough.
Gibson, a 20-year-old Middlesbrough youth player, has a strong defensive awareness.
Also from Middlesbrough is 31-year-old left back Parnaby, who is defensively sound.
The most eye-catching star of that team is undoubtedly their captain Woodgate.
At the age of 33 next year, he will still be active in the British Championship.
Once a representative of Leeds United's red and gold generation, he was even regarded as a future star by Real Madrid and wore the Galactico jersey.
Maybe due to injuries, I couldn't realize my talent before. After playing in Middlesbrough, Tottenham, Stoke City and other teams, I finally returned to Middlesbrough.
When he was young, he could be synonymous with bad boy.
Time has passed and he no longer has the youthfulness he once had.
The appearance of top defensive talent in the British Championship is simply unparalleled.
And even though he is no longer cruel, he is still fierce.
Just after the game started, he made a fierce tackle, causing Dale, who was dribbling the ball from the left wing, to be pushed out of the sideline.
"Is that a foul?"
The away team fans in the stands cheered loudly!
But the referee had no reaction.
Woodgate snorted and looked disdainfully towards the visiting team stand: "Are those guys going to watch the British Championship game the next day? A tackle of that level is considered a foul?"
Yes, tackles of that level are indeed too common in the British Championship.
Someone once said that the English Championship is one of the most special leagues in the world.
It is not in the second tier of the English league, but the number of fans abroad in the UK is not inferior to that of the Premier League.
Even if the Premier League, which fans around the world say is the most ferocious in terms of physical resistance, is not comparable to the English Championship.
In terms of mismatches alone, the Premier League is a younger brother to the English Championship.
The penalty scale is loose and the pitch is full of sparks during mismatches, which makes the English Championship highly enjoyable to watch.
Woodgate's tackle is the epitome of countless collisions.
Afterwards, there were countless hand-to-hand confrontations that made the fans unable to stop shouting.
In the 15th minute of the game, Middlesbrough took advantage of a corner kick and forward Jurkiwicz headed the goal!
The ball was punched out by Schmeichel!
The ball goes to Middlesbrough’s No. 10 Karayol!
A shot without stopping the ball from the penalty area line!
His shot deflected twice in a row outside the penalty area and rolled into the net!
Schmeichel is powerless!
The ball went in!
1 to 0!
Middlesbrough opens the scoring!
That goal brought the Riverside Stadium to a boil!
The fans of the home team let out a huge roar, which was deafening!
For a team that is defensive and counterattacking, opening the scoring is equivalent to half the victory!
When the port came from the east, they were not so lucky.
In the 31st minute of the game, Vardy received a direct pass from Drinkwater and successfully countered offside!
Scored the goal with a single shot and shot into the far corner!
The ball went in!
1 to 1!
The score was evened!
In the half-time injury time, Leicester City's corner kick opportunity was denied.
Andy King's corner kick accurately found high center Chris Wood!
Wood overwhelmed the defender, jumped high, and headed the ball into the goal!
The ball hit the net hard!
2 to 1!
Leicester City overtook the score!
At the last moment of the half, Leicester City stubbornly took the lead!
