050: Do you still dare to say that Mane is not a genius?

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 playing in the third tier of English League One. 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 not 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 into the English League One.

This season's results in English League One are also very unsatisfactory, and they are 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 is currently ranked 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 Preston can beat them easily!"

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 extended right hand was ignored by Grayson.

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's 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 Seeing that Preston people can still put smiles on their faces, do you understand?”

Speroni was startled, and then nodded immediately!

This was the first time he saw 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 get 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 began to pay attention to China Zheng. Nordin also had a lot of opinions, and he was also very optimistic about China Zheng. Although when Huaxia Zheng later joined Charlton Athletic, he had already left Charlton to coach the Southampton first team, but later he often paid attention to Huaxia Zheng's performance.

Therefore, he has no prejudice against Chinese people.

Grayson immediately said, "So what if I piss him off? He's a Chinese guy and he knows nothing about football. What's there to worry about? Don't worry, 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 the only team to maintain a complete victory in the English Championship this season. How can we, a relegation-defeating team in League One, go up against Crystal Palace? Where does your confidence come from?

Moreover. Nordin didn't just make his judgment based on rankings, he had studied the Crystal Palace team's techniques and tactics. Now this Crystal Palace is playing a completely different football than blocking all the English Championship and English League One teams. What's more important is that this set of tactics is very powerful, which can restrain teams with rough skills at their feet.

A team with rough skills at their feet will have a lot of 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? The Exeter City team was completely screwed because of this.

Si. Nordin is also a little worried now.

Because he knew very well that the players on their 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-hearted man, 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 easy for Crystal Palace to win this game.

Preston is indeed not strong.

beep!

Soon the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game. At the beginning of the game, 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 errors 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 counterattacks are 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 and 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, and his face was almost swollen. The only psychological solace for Harris now is that Mane is indeed a straw bag. He has not performed well under such an advantage, which 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 lose! This guy Mane is the stain on your life, your biggest weakness until now!

Tongyi, your character is ruined!

Snapped!
