Chapter 93 The Last Important Match (Part 1)

Moyes has reason to be confident. After killing the English League Two leaders cleanly and neatly, coupled with his previous experience of beating Premier League teams in the FA Cup, although Preston is only tied for fourth place and has fewer goals than Notts County, they will never doubt their abilities again.

And the next game also proved that Preston's current state is unstoppable.

In the 36th round of the league, Preston played against Belford at home, with a clean and neat 2-0, Tiger assisted and instigated, and the number one scorer Nogan scored twice.

In the 37th round of the league, in the Cashire Derby in the Westland, Preston challenged Blackpub away. In this game, Preston completed a double kill in the league derby this season. Although the score of 2-1 is not high, Preston scored a real three-pointer.

In the 38th round of the league, Preston swept the weak team in the relegation zone five-to-zero at home, and Tiger scored his first hat-trick in his career, and also raised his league goal to double digits!

After performing a hat trick, Tiger received a reward again when he entered the main god space, and it was double-score - completing the first hat trick in his career, getting a reward skill proficiency of 500 points, scoring ten goals in his career, and gaining a skill proficiency of 500 points.

Looking at these two rewards, Tiger was a little amused. Now for him, skill proficiency seems to be of no use at all. The training point can make his strength stronger. Although he also knows that skill proficiency will definitely be very useful in the future, but before he obtains special skills, he can only leave it there - just like money that cannot be used in the bank, even if he knows it is yours, it is equivalent to not being there.

After these two rewards, Tiger has accumulated 1,700 skill proficiency, which has also made Tiger feel a little better - after obtaining the skills, he should be able to quickly increase his ability limit...

After winning three consecutive league games, Preston tied the team's longest winning streak in the league this season - five consecutive wins, and their ranking rose to the third place in the league with 69 points. Leader Berry only won one and two draws in the past three games, and he still ranked first in the league in 72 points, but his lead has narrowed to a very small level. Stoke Port, ranked second, also firmly won three consecutive victories, with points reaching 72 points.

The other three teams in the top six, Luton, Notts County and Millwall, scored 67 points, 64 points and 63 points respectively. With eight rounds left in the league, in addition to the fact that the top six are basically stable, Millwall, ranked sixth, is also seven points higher than Blakep, ranked seventh, and who can become the lucky one to directly advance to the League One without having to play the hellish play-offs is still an unknown number.

"This season, our longest winning streak is five games. Last time, for various reasons, we lost to Luton in the sixth game. We have no chance to play with them again this season. However, we can prove by winning against other top six teams in the league that we are the strongest team in the League Two! No team can stop us from moving forward!"

“Beyond our records, beyond our limits, we prove that we are the strongest!”

Moyes yelled in the locker room with his fists before the 39th round of the league against Bristol Wanderers.

Now there are only three points left to No. 1 Berry, Preston is extremely eager for every point!

For Tiger himself, this game also has special significance - his first game in the virtual space was against Bristol Wanderers. No matter what, the first time is always the most cherished, so the memory left to Tiger was the most profound, and he also understood the players of Bristol Wanderers more carefully.

Although the composition of Bristol wandering personnel this season has changed a bit from last season, and the abilities of some players are different from last season, the changes in the entire team are not very big.

Tiger took advantage of this alone.

Although it is impossible for Bristol to not pay attention to Tiger, who has performed extremely coquettishly in the past few months, no matter how much attention it is, Tiger has only played the main player in Preston this season, and there is not much information to provide them, not to mention that the information of the League Two teams is difficult to find.

During the game, although Bristol wandering midfielder Lockwood and another midfielder teamed up to guard Tiger and tried hard to keep an eye on Tiger, Tiger was still hit to the fullest. Lockwood was surprised to find that even if he used a foul, it was difficult to commit Tiger. Tiger could always notice their foul like a premonition and dodge it.

You should know that in virtual games, those opponents decisively choose to foul after being broken through by Tiger. In that harsh environment, Tiger gradually developed the instinct of avoiding fouls like conditioned reflexes, which is crucial for an attacking player.

Although this instinct is not obvious, it is enough for him to play it easily in the League Two level.

During the game, Lockwood and another midfielder could not resist Tiger's breakthrough and organization. When they were following Tiger at all without any effort, Tiger would pass the ball quickly and then organize the entire team through their own running and passing. After all, no matter how tight the defense is, it would not make Tiger unable to get the ball. What's more, Tiger often retreats to get the ball and organizes the offense. Once their defense is relaxed, Tiger will tear open the opponent's defense line through breakthroughs.

At the end of the first half, the score was already three to zero. Before the end of the first half, Tiger expanded the score to three to zero with a volley from the penalty area. Although the first two goals were not scored by him or assisted by him, they were completely dispatched by him - no one can deny this.

After the second half, Moyes replaced Tiger. Now Tiger and his teammates are very skilled in cooperation, so there is no need to let him waste his physical fitness in the game - the next game is against the previous second place Stockport. In the previous game, both Stockport and Berry won. Preston is only one point away from Stockport and two points away from Berry. In the next league game, Moyes doesn't need to say that everyone knows how important it is.

If you win the next game, Preston will be able to make the top two, and maybe there will be a chance to tie Berry's points! If you draw or lose, Preston will be unlikely to surpass Stockport in the remaining games. At this time of the game, the top teams are unlikely to make mistakes when facing the mid- and lower-level teams. This face-to-face game is the best opportunity for Preston.

As Moyes said before, despite losing to Luton, Preston was able to prove with his victory against the top six teams that they were the strongest team in the League Two with a well-equipped team!

They proved this with a win against Berry, and now they can still prove it with the game against Stoke Port!

More importantly, after winning this game, the strongest among the next six opponents of Preston is No. 5, Notts County, which was in the third round to the end. At that time, Notts County may no longer be able to enter the top two. It needs to retain its physical fitness to play the playoffs, and the difficulty will definitely not be so great!

So in fact, this game against Stoke Port has become the most important game of the season!
