Chapter 12 - Chapter 13 Change
s ()
Brisbane Road Stadium is not very large, and the attendance rate today is not high, so most fans occupy the best stands, closer to the stadium, and can see more clearly. So when Xiao Ming appeared in the coach's seat on the sidelines, many sharp-eyed fans had noticed it and slowly spread throughout the stands.
Many fans of Leiden Oriental have a good temper still feel happy after seeing this scene. After all, under the current situation of Leiden Oriental, the appearance of the new chairman in the coaching seat at least means that the new chairman still attaches great importance to the club. With Leiden Oriental's background, even if he is relegated, he may soon return to the ranks of the English League Two - in other words, it was Xiao Ming's move that brought them hope!
However, in the west stand of the stadium, it was behind the coach's seat. A group of radical fans led by Jack Soya seemed even more excited when they saw Xiao Ming appearing on the coach's seat. Since Xiao Ming did not pursue the matter, Soya, who was released from the police station the next day, seemed to have no idea what gratitude is. Before the game began, his loud voice rang behind Xiao Ming: "Lala... see who it is? Isn't it a guy who is so fragile that he was smashed into the hospital by oranges? Do you have the face to come to the coach's seat? Asian boy, this is not the place where the idiot chairman like you come! This is the territory of the coach and the players!"
Xiao Ming didn't know at first that the shouts behind him were for him. He only realized when he heard the word "Asian boy". When he turned around, McGrady, who was quick-talking, said: "Boss, don't be as knowledgeable as that guy. That's a ungrateful guy. If you let him go, he's still like this..."
Looking at the kind-hearted appearance of the black guy, Xiao Ming smiled and patted McGrady on the shoulder: "Stephen, don't worry."
Then he stood up and walked to the back of the coaching seat. Seeing his movements, the group of people stopped shouting, Xiao Ming pointed at Saoya: "Shut up, Saoya, I am now the assistant coach of Leiden East and I am qualified to sit here."
"You idiot! Leiden Dongfang doesn't need a mentally retarded coach like you! Look at what they are playing now!" Sawyer shouted loudly.
"You big fool!" Xiao Mingzi cursed back in a serious tone: "With me here, there will be no more garbage competitions. Stop your mouth and see how we won this game!"
The evil people in the world always have a characteristic, that is, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. At that time, Xiao Ming did not prosecute Soya in order to avoid trouble, but instead made Soya feel that this Asian boy is a soft persimmon that is easy to squeeze. However, today Xiao Ming scolded him in person, but he was stunned. After hearing what Xiao Ming said later, he did not plan to jump down and beat the Asian boy like the group of friends around him imagined, but he just nodded with a gloomy face: "Okay, if you lose today, see you in the parking lot, see my beating your mother so that you can't recognize you!"
"If you win, see you in the parking lot! Let me see if you only throw oranges behind you!" Xiao Ming sneered and threw down a harsh words, then turned around and left, leaving only the back of the heads of the group of people.
The sideliness also noticed that the players on the field who were about to start the game. The players in Leiden East were stunned - the chairman's actions were too unexpected. It was not enough to run to the locker room for a while, but now he has run to the sidelines and even clashed with the group of fans with the worst temper!
The players at Stoke Port were a little confused, not knowing who the person who appeared on the sidelines was - they didn't seem to have seen him in the first half.
They didn't think too much, the referee had already blew the whistle to start the second half of the game. The players on both sides began to focus on the field, and the fans on the scene also forgot the episode just now and began to pay attention to the game.
Stockport originally planned to continue to gain an advantage in the second half, put pressure on Leiden East to expand the score, and establish the victory of this game. After all, in the first half of the confrontation, even the players on the field at Stockport could feel that Leiden East's players had basically lost their fighting spirit, and they gave up many half-to-half opportunities.
But slowly, they began to feel different.
Leiden Oriental, who is mainly veterans, seems much more active in running on the court. In terms of strength, there are many old-fashioned players on the court who have been in the League Two for many years, and are actually still on the Stoke Port, which is mainly young players. The first half of the game was weak, which was completely a matter of attitude, not a matter of strength.
After the increase in running, Leiden Oriental players, who had significantly more experience than the players in Stockport, did not directly engage in direct conflict with these young and energetic opponents, but began to make full use of their tactical execution capabilities, slowly gaining the advantage in the local area first, and then gradually expanding the advantage.
Before the players at Stoke Port could notice it, the balance of victory had gradually tilted towards the east of Leiden.
Although Stoke Port's offense is still very fierce, Leiden East has a very good defense in the penalty area and rarely has the opportunity to let the opponent break into the penalty area. The players of Stoke Port who are eager to attack often can only shoot from outside the penalty area. Such a shot is naturally difficult to break through the goal guarded by Hilton, who is already prepared. On the other hand, Leiden East, although two forwards over 30 will not rush and hit like young forwards, they are calmly waiting for the opportunity.
The opportunity appeared in the 21st minute of the second half.
After resisting the opponent's attack, veteran midfielder Wilkins accurately passed the ball to Steve Casso, the core of the organization in front, for the first time. After being lazy for most of the game, Casso, who seemed to be unwilling to run even when running, suddenly became energetic. A beautiful pull-up ball turned around and passed by, dodged one of the opponent's midfielders and began to dribble forward.
It was not until Casso broke through the half that two players from Stoke Port rushed over from both sides, intending to attack Casso.
Facing the two of them, Casso still dribbled the ball through the midfield, and then seized an opportunity and passed the ball to Chapman on the right with a large-scale transfer.
Since Casso attracted enough Stoke Port midfielders, Chapman faced the empty right after getting the ball and dribbled the ball to the corner of the penalty area. Chapman chose to pass the ball, but did not pass the ball directly into the penalty area, but passed the ball to Casso who followed him up.
After receiving the ball, Kaso passed it straight. Kelly, who had already opened the gap through his running position, faced the goalkeeper directly, and easily pushed the ball into the goal!
A huge cheer burst out in the stands instantly. Although there were less than 4,000 home fans, the cheers erupted around at that moment!
The pedestrians on Brisbane Road and Buckingham Palace Road couldn't help but stop, and when they noticed the cheers, they all thought to themselves: "Hmm? Did Leiden East play a good game today?"
When Kelly received a pass from Casso in the penalty area, many fans had already stood up from the stands. When Kelly scored the ball into the goal without any suspense, the fans of Leiden Oriental at the scene couldn't help but cheered loudly - I'm sorry! They have been waiting for this home goal for a long time! The last time Leiden Oriental scored a home goal was more than a month ago, and the fans of Leiden Oriental in the next four home games could not even see a goal!
So although it was just a draw and even though it was just a very ordinary goal, there were still many fans in the stands so excited that they shed tears!
At the moment of scoring the goal, Xiao Ming had already raised his hands and jumped from the coach's seat. He even jumped earlier than the substitutes. After jumping up, he waved his fists hard and shouted: "Beautiful!"
After the yelling, he turned around and looked at the group of fans behind him who wanted to celebrate but felt a little embarrassed. Sawyer stubbornly shouted at him: "It's just a draw! We haven't won yet!"
"Then you just wait to get beaten in the parking lot. Today my team wants to win, and I want to beat you, the bastard!" Xiao Ming fired back loudly: "I said that with me here, we will not play trash-like games again!"
"If we win today, I will let you beat you up and not fight back!" Sawyer gritted his teeth and shouted, "But if I see us playing garbage competition in the future, I will give it back ten times!"
"You won't have this opportunity!" Xiao Ming laughed.
Turning around and walking back to the coach's seat, he pulled McDonald: "Are there any forwards on our bench who have excellent speed and running skills?"
McDonald, who had just finished celebrating, was stunned for a moment: "Well, Stephen is good at speed, he is also strong and has a good impact."
"Okay, Stephen, go warm up and prepare to play." Xiao Ming turned around and waved at McGrady. McGrady rushed out with excitement, and then he turned around and said to McDonald: "See? Although we equalized the score just now, Stockport was still the one who had the advantage in the field. Most of them were young players. If they were equalized in the situation, they would definitely not be convinced when they were equalized in the game. Most of them would choose to put a big push. If we had a fast forward in the frontcourt, we might be able to seize the opportunity. Even if we couldn't seize the opportunity, they would make their offense more afraid. Moreover, both of our forwards ran too little. Although they had rich experience, one was enough. Our forward line also needed vitality."
MacDonald was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Ming passing by him without authorization to give orders to the players, but then he thought that his mission was nothing more than to wait until the end of the season. If the chairman wanted to command, let him command. Although the head coach had always had great power in the England arena, his poor performance in leading the team also made MacDonald lose the courage to protect his power.
And after carefully scrutinizing Xiao Ming's words, McDonald felt that what the young chairman said was really reasonable, although he didn't know much about the substitutes.
A minute later, McGrady ran back, and Xiao Ming pulled him directly: "Stephen, both of them are not very fast. After you go up, you push them in the front and let Kelly ambush behind you. Tell Casso that it doesn't matter if you pass the ball more and pass it directly. It doesn't matter if you pass it too much. Just run up and don't be afraid of offside. Just seize one opportunity and kill them!"
"Okay! Chairman!" McGrady felt that the Chairman's order was very suitable for his appetite. He was young and could run, so he was impatient to do anything involved. As long as he handed the ball in front of him, he would have the confidence to get the ball in front of the opponent's defender!
"Also, after re-telebrating, let the defenders pay attention to defense, especially in the penalty area, they will definitely put on a big push to attack. After intercepting the ball in the backcourt, don't rush to drive the big foot and pass it to Kaso, let him be responsible for sending the straight ball." Xiao Ming continued, he watched a lot of games in his previous life, and played football managers a lot of games, and had a deep understanding of some football tactics. In the first half, he saw that Stoke Port is playing very relaxed now. The two central defenders have even pressed to the center line, and behind them are blockbuster gaps. In addition to Leiden Oriental did not create any pressure in the first half, the two veteran strikers of the East were not fast, which is also a big reason. Their running position is very skillful, but they can't play any role in counterattacks.
McGrady listened to Xiao Ming's words very carefully. It was obvious that this black guy accepted Chairman Xiao Ming very much.
"Leedon East substitute, No. 22 McGrady replaced No. 18 Ryan."
This substitution did not attract the attention of the defenders of Stoke Port. Although the two veteran strikers of Leiden East did not put too much pressure on them before, their experienced running made the young Stoke Port defenders feel very troublesome, because they don’t know when and where the two elusive old strikers will appear - for example, the ball was just like this. Now that the two have replaced one, it should be easier, right?
As Xiao Ming expected, after being equalized, the unconvinced Stoke Port players launched a fierce attack after kicking off. Their coach seemed to feel that it was a shame to equalize the score by such a team that had lost four consecutive games, failed to win ten games, and had the lowest points. Although Stoke Port has successfully relegated, winning one more game will be very important to accumulate confidence and experience for next season.
With the opponent's fierce attack, Leiden Dongfang, who was fighting at home, began to act as a turtle. Except for the three attackers in the frontcourt, the other players had retreated to the near-the penalty area and were under waves of attacks from the opponent.
Leiden Oriental fans, who were just excited about equalizing the score, began to get anxious again. After all, they had not seen a victory for too long, and their confidence in the team had begun to decline to the extreme. Seeing that the team was in a bad situation, they also extinguished the flames that had just been ignited that the team could win, and began to look forward to a draw...
The people behind Xiao Ming began to yell again, and Sawy's voice seemed so clear: "Asian boy! Is this the garbage game you said that won't appear?"
"Shut up, Sawyer." Xiao Ming stood up and turned to respond to them: "Manchester United also appears when they are suppressed. The most important thing about the game is the result, the result! Do you understand? You dare to say that you are a fan!"
Looking at Xiao Ming who returned to the position again, a fan next to Sawyer muttered: "Why is this Asian boy like a fire bucket? Just one point."
