"Oxford going to upgrade?" I think that's going to be the biggest joke of the 21st century. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Time still passes quickly.

9 August 2001.

Rochdale FC travelled to Oxford to play in the first round of League C two days later. As soon as he arrived at Oxford, the head coach of Rochdale gave an interview to the media.

Of course, it is the media, but in fact, there are only two local media.

One is Lancashire, a media outlet for Rochdale FC. Then there's the local media here in Oxford. After all, they are two clubs with little influence, and it's just a League C game.

However, Rochdale's head coach is bullish.

First of all, it was stated that Rochdale is aiming for promotion this season. Then I heard a reporter from Oxford United's side say that the Oxford United manager also said that the goal of this season is promotion.

So Rochdale's head coach Terry Jones was immediately sarcastic.

"I think Oxford should be thankful if they can stay in relegation this season. ”

Naked ridicule.

Chen Ping originally led the team to make final preparations, and he didn't want to fight with Rochdale. If you hadn't come to League C, who knows what club Rochdale is. But since the Rochdale manager is sarcastic about Oxford United, Chen Ping will certainly not accept it. So he immediately shot back: "A club that has been in the fourth tier for decades and made history is not qualified to judge a team like Oxford United that has won the League Cup." It's also impossible to understand what kind of ambition a team that has fought in the top flight will have. Because there are clubs that have never played in a high league in their lives. ”

Rochdale is a very special team in English football.

Setting a record for the fourth tier of English football. That is, Rochdale is the team that has stayed in the lowest division of the English professional league, the fourth division of the English league for the longest time.

And it has never played in the top league in history, not to mention, not even in the third tier of England. has been hovering in the fourth tier of England.

Chen Ping laughed nakedly, and Terry Jones immediately said: "A beggar will always show off how generous his ancestors were back then, but forget that he is a beggar." ”

A small English League is full of gunpowder.

Speaking of which, Rochdale and Oxford United really don't have any hatred. Because the two teams have not met several times in their history. But now it's gunpowder.

"See. Rochdale's head coach said we should thank God if we were able to avoid relegation. ”

Carson Field.

The former president of Oxford United, who patted his chest and said big things, although he bragged, also left a good thing for Oxford United. That's the current stadium, and stumbling can be regarded as building a new stadium.

A stadium with a capacity of 12,500 people.

Used for the first time this season.

The name Carson doesn't mean the club. Oxford United fans believe that Firoz Carson has contributed a lot to Oxford and pulled Oxford back from the brink of bankruptcy. That's why the stadium was named Carson Field.

Chen Ping was in the locker room.

"David, tell me. Are we aiming for relegation?"

"Of course not. ”

David Bentley sat there casually and said with a big grin: "Relegation, with me, the team's goal should be promotion." ”

Bentley, that's how proud he is.

But it works well.

With the club selling its original key players, many of the current Oxford United clubs are very young. Young people have many problems, but there is one thing that no one can compare, and that is vitality.

"Good. ”

Chen Ping didn't like Bentley.

But he will definitely not show that he doesn't like Bentley, because Bentley is the thigh that Chen Ping wants to grab this season. So instead he applauded and said, "Damn the League C." Rochdale loves League C and has been here for decades. But we at Oxford United are a team that has won the League Cup, we have played in the top league, and we can't be as unproductive as Rochdale. We have only one goal, and that is to upgrade, upgrade. ”

"Lads. What is your salary now? £100, £200, or £500? Follow me to League Two and your salary will be doubled. Follow me to League One, and your salary will be multiplied several times, more than ten times. If you go to the Premier League, your salary will be tens of thousands of pounds a week. Tell me if you want to upgrade. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Young people need to be cheered.

Calm is not something young people should do. For the young players, all you need is to give them a boost. Chen Ping led the youth army to upgrade in the Chinese League in his last life, not relying on the strength of the youth army to sweep everything.

It is relying on a breath of anger and a momentum of not admitting defeat.

"Okay, now listen to my arrangement. ”

When he warmed up just before the game, Chen Ping was already a player who had carefully observed Rochdale. After all, the English League cannot be compared with the Premier League and League One. Not only is there very little broadcast, but the clubs in League C are generally poor.

It is not possible to collect information about opponents like the Premier League and League One.

It's like Oxford United.

It is also possible to collect some simple video data, which cannot be collected by the intelligence of real opponents. But when he was just warming up, Chen Ping had already carefully observed the Rochdale players and wrote down their strength and potential in his small notebook.

When they got their starting lineup before the game, Chen Ping had to start arranging his tactics.

"David, you're on the right side, and I don't limit your play. You can choose to break through, you can choose to pass, you can choose to shoot. Unleash your genius and let them know you're good. ”

"Okay, head. ”

Bentley nodded.

Bentley is a little bit of a fan of Chen Ping right now. Because Chen Ping trusts himself very much, and gives himself full leeway. Bentley likes this kind of coach and doesn't like to limit himself and make himself subordinate to a tactical coach.

According to Bentley, the greatest freedom is the best coach.

"Ricky, go up and go straight against the opponent's No. 4 player. I think he is tall, but his body is average, and his strength is average. You focus on him during the game. My request to you is very simple, hold down the opponent's number four, score, score. ”

"Yes. ”

Rochdale finished 10th in League 3 last season, and although they claim to be promoted this season, they are just slogans loud and not strong. Chen Ping observed Rochdale's center-back combination, in which the strength of the number four player is relatively poor, only 118 strength.

In comparison, Lambert is tall and tall, and after a period of training, his strength is now 122.

"Just like you usually train, go up and defeat Rochdale. After the upgrade, the salary will be doubled. ”

"Yes. ”

The game is about to begin.

One by one, the players walked out. Chen Ping grabbed Sidwell and whispered, "Steven, this game is on David's side." But you control the situation on the court and decide which side to play based on the situation. See what I mean?"

"Yes. ”

Sidwell nodded.

The ball is still high, the IQ is high, and the emotional intelligence is high, and it is Sidwell.

What Chen Ping said, Sidwell understood at once. Bentley was too proud, Chen Ping kept praising him, and he also regarded Bentley's side as the main direction of attack.

But Chen Ping is a head coach.

Doesn't pin all your hopes on one person. Bentley, no matter how talented he was, was a young man who was not yet eighteen years old. There will definitely be ups and downs in form.

Therefore, Chen Ping needs to find more attack points.

Once Bentley isn't in shape, he'll have to think of something else.

Martin Anthony on the left is also a very important person for Chen Ping. is already very diligent, and with the potential points assigned to him by Chen Ping, Martin Anthony's strength is now 120.

Originally, Chen Ping found that Martin Anthony's strength grew a little fast, and after giving him potential points, Martin Anthony's strength grew even more rapidly.

Chen Ping wondered if there was something wrong with the system. Otherwise, why is Martin Anthony's potential so poor, but his strength is growing so fast.

"Okay, let's go. ”

"Yes. ”

Watching Sidwell walk out, Chen Ping sighed. Sidwell is a really good player, with a lot of defensive ability and a good sense of defense. What's more important is that the overall picture is excellent, and the ability to pass long is also good.

Of course, Sidwell also has weaknesses.

The shooting ability is not strong, the short passing ability is average, and the passing ability is insufficient.

However, these shortcomings are not a big problem at all. Because this is the English C League, Sidwell's strength is already outstanding in the English C League. If it is his own player, Chen Ping will definitely assign him some potential points and strength points.

"Chen, let's go. ”

"Yes. ”

Chen Ping walked out of the locker room with his coaching staff.

"Hey, Chen. We don't like lunatics who tell lies. ”

Chen Ping had just walked out of the players' tunnel when suddenly someone next to him shouted. Chen Ping looked up and saw that it was Robbie Legg standing shirtless in the right stand of the players' tunnel, yelling at Chen Ping. Chen Ping shook his hand and ignored him at all.

Robbie Legge said angrily, "Chen, be careful that I beat you. ”

"Idiot. ”

Chen Ping replied to him with disdain.

Robbie Legge is very famous among Oxford United fans, but Chen Ping seems to be just a brainless man. The two of them are also very familiar with each other, and they have drunk together before.

But the game is about to be played, and Robbie Legge is waiting for Chen Ping here, which makes Chen Ping very dissatisfied.

"What did you say?"

Robbie Legge stuck his head out from above, and his head almost came to Chen Ping, roaring at Chen Ping.

"Idiot. ”

Chen Ping still said in a disdainful tone: "Stay up there and see how I defeat my opponent." Don't be an idiot here. ”

After saying that, he ignored Robbie Legge and walked to the sidelines. Robbie Legge couldn't help but wave his fist at Chen Ping, and said angrily: "Chen, you wait. If you lose the game, I'll beat you. ”

However, it was Chen Ping's back and raised middle finger that responded to Robbie Leger.
