Chapter 67 New opponent
When Moyes heard the reporter's words of Vadoc, he laughed wildly in his heart.
If he was a Chinese, he would definitely say things like "If someone was sleepy, he would send a pillow" and "whatever he wanted" and so on.
As Preston's new head coach, Moyes' biggest problem is that he has no foundation. Yes, he does have prestige in football in Preston, but that kind of prestige is the prestige of being a player, not the prestige of being a coach! What is the most important thing about being a coach? In addition to your ability, you also need to be able to suppress people! Any new head coach who can suppress the situation and let players listen to him is accomplished through previous achievements, and Moyes' previous coaching achievements are zero.
He still lacks the kind of dressing room status where players will do their best to implement after setting up tactics in the locker room. This requires time and results to accumulate, so during this period, if he wants to do this, he has to use some external things - he used Taylor's article in this game, and he is worried about not having any entry point in this game. Luton's head coach and players immediately gave him a good opportunity...
He was laughing wildly in his heart, but the expression on Moyes's face was normal: "Oh, did Mr. Vadoc say such things? But maybe he didn't know that there are creatures like geniuses in the world... Our Tiger is undoubtedly such a genius. He took some detours before, but when he solved his own problems, he already had the ability to be the core of Preston. If he could not do this by just being the main force at the age of twenty-one, then I can only say that this judgment seems to be too shallow."
"Maybe my judgment is still a little superficial, but my team is now ranked fifth. Don't forget that two seasons ago, we were both the English-C team as Preston." Waddock responded with a smile.
"The season has only passed less than one-third, who can say that our final ranking will be lower than Luton?" Moyes responded with a smile.
The war of words between the two sides lasted for two days and ended. It was not that they were unwilling to fight words anymore, but because... the game was about to begin...
"Tiger, do you know? The nineteen-year-old boy in Luton said he already knew your weakness. Do you think he made sense?" Before the game started, Moyes asked Tiger the first question in the home team locker room at Pudell Stadium.
Tiger scratched his head and asked, "Nineteen-year-old boy? Who is that?"
Moyes was happy: "Peter McLaren, who just played the main player in Luton this year, has been the main player so far, and many commentators think his future will be good."
"Oh." Tiger said thoughtfully, then grabbed his chin: "It seems that many commentators thought I was trash before, but now, I stand up. When I joined the first team at the age of nineteen, many commentators thought I had a bright future, but now I can admit that I was trash at that time."
Speaking of this, Tiger smiled: "Maybe I can let that kid know that sometimes failure is a precious asset."
"Well said!" Moyes waved his arm violently: "The past is not important, but now is important! Vadoc said that they are now the fifth-ranked team. We are close to the relegation zone. Let us use our performance to tell them that we just made some mistakes before! Two years ago, Luton and we were the same team at the same level. We have never been at a disadvantage in the past two seasons! Tell them that we must not simply judge the strength gap between us by ranking! Tell them that we can still beat them all over the ground!"
Luton can be regarded as Preston's old opponent. Preston and Luton were both English-Central teams in 94-95. That season, Preston and Luton ranked first and second in English-Central respectively and entered the English-Central second. In that season, both sides won one game at home, and in the two rounds last season, both sides tied - Moyes's words "never fell at a disadvantage" are definitely not aimless. Because of this, Moyes's words immediately aroused the ambitions of Preston players!
But we have never been at a disadvantage in a season of competition. Didn’t you just rank higher? You started to despise us? Why?
For Luton, Preston's players have never had any psychological pressure. In addition, they regained their morale after winning the last game, Preston's players' emotions were easily mobilized by Moyes!
"Tiger is indeed a very outstanding midfielder. He has shown two excellent qualities in the last two games - against Berry, his excellent personal skills led Preston to fight back, and against Peterborough, he used his own running and passing to connect the midfield. However, Luton and these two teams are different. Yes, our goals are not as high as these two teams, but they are definitely not small. At the same time, our defense is much more stable than these two teams, and we will not give him too many opportunities, but if Tiger gets too many balls, it will also be a big deal.
It will be a trouble. In these two games, Tiger showed a lot of things, but whether it is his breakthrough or organization, he must have a ball under his feet. This is his biggest characteristic and his biggest weakness! Peter, you are the best physically in our team, young enough, and just face him with him... You only have one task in this game, that is, to entangle him, follow him without moving, and reduce his number of catches! Without his ball control and pass, Preston's frontcourt offense will be beaten back to the original! Are you confident?"
Peter McLaren recalled what the coach said to him before the game. He still remembered that he nodded heavily and replied loudly: "Be confident!"
For McLaren, who started playing as the main player in the first team at the age of nineteen, stepping on his opponent's body to a higher position is what he pursues!
These two games have been in the limelight and Tiger, who has already begun to gain fame in the English League Two, is naturally the best target.
I will definitely stare at this guy in the game. McLaren thought silently in his heart.
After the game started, Tiger soon found that there was a tail around him.
Looking at McLaren, who was following her with a heavy anger in her nostrils, with a deep hatred on her face, Tiger felt a little funny.
He has experienced all the storms and waves. He has also seen the new midfielder Lockwood who has already gained fame in the League Two last season. Even if McLaren, who has only played as the main player this year, is not as strong as the enhanced version of Lockwood in the main god space. Will he still be afraid of him?
You want to follow me? Then you can follow me and let me see how long you can follow me!
