The next day, the fat man went to learn to drive in the morning as usual. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In the afternoon, Info and Emma visited Myburgh, formerly known as Middlesbrough, but Chinese fans prefer to call it Middlesbrough.

The most famous attraction in Myburgh is the Captain Cook House Museum, and the thatched hut in Stewart Park is James? Cook's birthplace, home to one of the greatest explorers in British history, sailed to Australia, discovered New South Wales and then became the first to explore Antarctica.

Stop and go, the fat man walked around Myburgh City more than half in one afternoon, Emma, the tour guide is quite qualified, and he is talking about the bits and pieces of Myburgh City along the way. Tomorrow the fat man's holiday will be over, and Emma will go back to London to continue her studies. In the evening, Emma took out the newly bought Fat Man's jersey, and the Fat Man signed his name on it.

"Pong, do you need me to help you inquire about Catherine?" Emma spoke suddenly.

"Huh? ...... "Fat people sometimes hate the direct character of the British. Knowing that he didn't want to mention this topic, he always asked, but when he saw Emma's sincere eyes, the anger in the fat man's heart quickly dissipated, "No need, thank you!" ”

Early the next morning, the fat man came to the Rockcliff training base. When I met the staff of the club on the way, I took the initiative to say hello to the fat man; On the training ground, the teammates took the initiative to joke with the fat man! In the past two days, the newspaper has bombarded the fat man, so that the club staff and teammates also have a clear understanding of the fat man's experience, coupled with the wonderful performance of the fat man in a game, they have a very clear understanding of the fat man's strength. 'Behave well and be respected everywhere you go. The fat man looked proud, but there was nothing out of the list.

"Hey, boy, go to the sidelines and give me that bottle of water, I'm thirsty!" Striker No. 35 Nugent looked at the fat man unpleasantly.

"You have your own hands and feet, you go yourself!" The fat man doesn't want to cause trouble.

"If I let you go, you have to go, this is the rule! Who made you just a rookie! "Nugent is on her toes.

Seeing Nugent embarrassed the fat man, his teammates didn't come out to stop it, who made Nugent an Englishman! Nugent are still the top scorers in the game, although they have only scored six goals so far!

The fat man suddenly became angry, and was about to go crazy, but was blocked by Tang Ning who came over.

"Hey, Nugent, are you itching again?" Downing looked teasing.

"Turt, I'm just kidding him." Nugent was immediately stunned. Although Nugent is an Englishman, he still doesn't dare to make too much trouble in the face of Downing, a native of Myburgh, after all, this is Downing's territory.

The small turmoil quickly subsided, and the fat man looked gloomy. 'Grandma's, as soon as my brother came up, someone came to step on me. It's really a beautiful wood in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! Sooner or later, my brother will trample you all under your feet! The fat man cheered himself up.

Coach Karanka led the team for only one morning of training and left in the afternoon. He's been busy with player transfers lately. After a few days of regular training, on 9 January, Myburgh played at home to Burnley in the FA Cup. During this time, the Myburgh team has left several players, but the new players have not yet been signed, and the personnel are a little unorganized, and it is not easy to win in the face of the strong Burnley.

Burnley were relegated from the Premier League to the Championship last year and are aiming to return to the Premier League this season. Myburgh are also aiming for promotion this season, so the FA Cup is a bit of a problem for Myburgh. Sure enough, the Myburgh team made some rotations to the main lineup, No. 9 replaced No. 18 Stuani, No. 10 De Pena returned from injury in midfield replaced No. 27 Adoma, and No. 34 Foshaw replaced No. 7 Leadbit. Myburgh changed three frontcourt players at once, and the fat man continued to sit on the bench.

The game is about to begin, and commentators Smith and Horst are announcing their starting line-ups.

“…… Myburgh's starting lineup is ......" Smith's voice is loud and magnetic, "Coach Karanka's main lineup has made a lot of adjustments, No. 9 Kei, No. 10 De Pena and No. 34 Vershaw have entered the starting lineup, James, what do you think?" ”

'It's no surprise that No.34 Vershaw is in the starting line-up, he's been an important rotation player for the team; 10 De Pena has been injured and has only recently recovered, and coach Karanka asked him to start because he wanted him to get back into the game as soon as possible; I was surprised by the start of No. 9 Kik, and coach Karanka obviously wanted to give his Spanish fellow a farewell chance......" Forster said eloquently, "Through this start, we can see that coach Karanka has plans to abandon the FA Cup in the case of unorganized personnel......"

"Why don't you let Pang play in the last game?" Smith was a little puzzled, "As the future of the team, Pang should get more opportunities to play!" ”

"Tom, you're still in too much of a hurry." Foster smiled slightly, "Coach Karanka obviously has his intentions in arranging this!" ”

"What's the point?" Smith didn't understand.

"In the last game, Pang came off the bench and not only performed well, but also beat the game. Pang has also won media attention and the love of fans, but it has also brought a lot of pressure. Foster patiently explained, "If Pang starts this game and performs poorly, his self-confidence will definitely be hit; It's different if you come off the bench, even if you don't score, it's nothing, after all, the playing time is too short, and the media will be too difficult! ”

"It's still Coach Karanka's thoughtfulness!" Smith understood as soon as he heard it, "Looking forward to Pong's performance in the second half!" ”

The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins. As soon as the opening game, the Myburgh team was suppressed by the opponent and played quite passively. The new frontcourt players were rusty with their previous cooperation and lackluster in attack. If you can't attack, the pressure on defense will be great.

In the first half of the 30th minute, after Burnley broke the ball in the midfield, the counterattack was very fast, and the three or four passes were attacked near the Myburgh team's penalty area, and No. 34 Fershaw was not able to return to the defense in time, and Burnley striker No. 7 Gray found an opportunity, and a long-range shot broke through the goal guarded by Myburgh's old goalkeeper Konstanto Paulus.

“goal！ Burnley striker No.7 Gray scores from distance! Smith lowered his voice, "Gray has been doing quite well lately, occupying the top spot in the scorer charts. ”

"Burnley's counterattack was pretty sharp!" Foster commented, "No. 34 Furshaw was out of position defensively and gave Gray an easy shot on goal! ”

"I think Myburgh's main problem is in attack." Smith said, "The offense conceded too quickly was the most important reason why the defense conceded this time. ”

"I agree with you, Tom!" Forss nodded, "Several players in the front court of the Myburgh team did not cooperate well enough, and today's starting striker Nugent was not in good shape, and he did not drive the team's attack well!" The other players, either injured or physically tired, coach Karanka does not have many cards in his hand! ”

On the side of the pitch, on the bench of the Myburgh team, Coach Karanka stood up and glanced at the bench, and finally sat down, Coach Karanka was not ready to make a substitution. Adoma and Downing are too tired, the others are too tired, so let's adjust at the end of the first half.

Seeing that Coach Karanka did not make a substitution, the fans at the scene seemed to understand something and began to discuss.

"The team is so passive, Coach Karanka doesn't plan to make changes, what the hell does he think?" A young female fan was puzzled.

"How to change it if there is no one in your hand!" An old fan replied, "On the bench, either you are physically tired, or you have a small injury, or you are useless, and the only one who can be used is Pang, who is still a newcomer!" ”

"I think coach Karanka is going to give up the FA Cup, and the goal today is to upgrade, with the current composition, it's too hard to juggle the FA Cup!" Another longtime fan said.

"I'm not expecting the result of this game anymore. I'm looking forward to the second half of Pong, after all, Pong represents the future of Myburgh! A young male fan spoke.

On the pitch, the game continued, and although the backward Myburgh team organized several waves of attacks after that, the scene slowly returned to Burnley's control. However, Myburgh has significantly strengthened their defence, with the exception of striker Nugent, almost all of the Myburgh players are involved in the defense. In the end, the first half ended, and the Myburgh team fell behind 0:1 at home.

At halftime, coach Karanka made personnel changes to the Myburgh team. No. 29 Fat replaced No. 35 Nugent, who was out of form, and No. 19 veteran Downing replaced No. 10 De Pena.

"James, what do you think of these two substitutions for Coach Karanka?" Smith threw out a question, "Does coach Karanka want to turn the tables in the second half?" ”

"Yes, Tom, I think so." Foster thought for a moment and replied, "Coach Karanka's tactics are to defend in the first half and attack in the second half. Put the strongest attack in the second half and go head-to-head with Burnley! After all, the veteran Tang Ning is not physically strong enough to support the whole game, and Pang is a newcomer to the team, so this is the best tactic at the moment. ”

On the field, after Fat Man and Downing came on the field, the Myburgh team's attack began to become threatening. The fulcrum of the fat man is very obvious, there is a fat man in the front court to protect the ball in tandem, the number of times the Myburgh team has attacked the opponent's front court is obviously more, and the offensive threat is naturally greater. The veteran Downing can both organize the attack and break through on the side, which is combined with the characteristics of the fat man to make the front court attack of the Myburgh team smooth.

After the fat man came on the court today, he felt much better than the last game. In the last game, the fat man was more nervous and couldn't let go. Although two goals were scored, the main reason was the contempt of the opponent and the lack of understanding of the characteristics of the fat man, which gave the fat man room to play. In this game, as soon as the fat man came on the field, he was taken care of by the opponent, although the opponent did not send a special person to defend, but every time the fat man passed and received the ball, he would still receive interference from the opponent.

However, the fat man's first goal was not a header, but a free kick. In the 60th minute of the game, the veteran Downing was violated by the opponent in the opponent's half, and Myburgh won a free kick in front, but it was relatively far away, about 30 meters from the goal. It was supposed to be Tang Ning's penalty, but Tang Ning gave it to the fat man.

The fat man stood in front of the ball and recalled the scene when he trained with Miha. Fat Man's free kicks are known for their power, the ball is fast, but the spin is insufficient. 'This ball must be held!' The fat man kept hinting at himself.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the fat man ran two steps to take a free kick. 'The ball is in its pocket, and there it is! 'The fat man knew he had the ball after the free kick. Sure enough, the Riverside Stadium erupted in loud cheers.

“goal……！ No. 29 youngster Pang equalized for Myburgh! Smith's shouts immediately spread across the pitch, "It was a brilliant free-kick that hung into the top right corner of the net, and there was nothing the Burnley goalkeeper could do about it!" It was Pong's third goal for Myburgh and Pang showed off his superb free-kick footwork! ”

"It was a brilliant free-kick!" Foster still seems to be reminiscing about that beautiful arc, "Pong's free kick reminds me of former Inter star Mihajlovic's free kick, yes, Pong's free kick is very similar to Mihajlovic's, only the arc is smaller, but it's just as exciting!" ”

The fat man's goal made the originally quiet fan stands boil suddenly, and the Myburgh fans regained their enthusiasm and roared passionately.

"Pang, good, I saw your goal again, great!" A fan shouted.

"Pang, I love you!" A female fan was also enthusiastic.

"I thought Pang was going to score with a header again, but I didn't expect Pang to give a surprise and score with a free kick, which is great!" An old fan sighed.

"Dad, I think we have another chance to win, I have a hunch that Pang will score again!" A young fan shouted to his dad.

“……”

On the pitch, the game continued, and Burnley began to step up their attack after being equalised. In particular, Burnley's striker No. 7 Gray is quite fast, and has repeatedly relied on speed to break through the Myburgh defence. In order to limit Gray and Burnley's quick attack, Myburgh were forced to start shrinking their formation and had to start playing defensive counter-attacking tactics.

The fat man was sad, his teammates all retreated to their own half, leaving the fat man alone in the opponent's half, and it was very difficult to get the ball.

The fat man also began to recycle, the fat man's dribbling skills were not good, and when he got the ball when he counterattacked, he knocked it back directly, and then turned around and ran to the opponent's half, although he slowed down the offensive speed, but at least he didn't lose the ball. The fat man also wants to break through with the ball, pass five levels and cut six generals, and then send the ball into the opponent's goal, but at the moment this can only be a fantasy. Although the fat man is now explosive and fast, his agility is too poor, which also leads to the lack of flexibility of the fat man's body, and it is easy to hit people with the ball. The fat man became a shortcoming of the Myburgh team's counterattack, and several of the Myburgh team's counterattacks were terminated by the fat man, and even the commentator Smith couldn't stand it.

"Oh, Pang's foot-to-foot skills ......" Smith's words suddenly stopped, he was thinking of the right words, "Pang's foot-to-foot skills are a bit unskilled, this counterattack tactic is not very suitable for Pang......"

"Tom, you're asking too much of Pong!" Foster was very calm, "Pang is such a big man, it's normal to have rough feet...... He still has a lot of football skills to improve......"

"Hey! No one is perfect," Smith also knew that he was too demanding of Pang.

"Tom, Pang still has a lot of room for improvement, he's still very young......," Forster is more optimistic, "Coach Karanka is a Spaniard, he has a lot of experience in improving the player's foot skills, look at it, Pang will get better and better......

In the coach's seat, Coach Karanka also found the fat man's shortcomings, but he was helpless. The fat man has just been replaced, so he can't be replaced right away. can only hope that the fat man will not keep losing the ball, and when counterattacking, he can let Tang Ning take the ball more, and Pang will only do the work of responding and grabbing points. After thinking it through, Coach Karanka stood on the sidelines and began to command loudly.

On the court, the fat man also knew that his ability to dribble the ball was poor, but the fat man thought of a way to make up for it. The fat man changed his strategy and began to shoot from a distance, showing the characteristics of great power and hard feet.

It turns out that people who are good at changing from time to time usually get more opportunities. In the 80th minute of the game, as soon as the fat man got the ball 30 meters from the opponent's half, the Burnley central defender posted it, and another central defender was not far away and ready to break the ball at any time. However, the fat man did not rush forward with the ball this time, but leaned on the opponent, waved the ball, and turned around to shoot. The corner was powerful, the ball was fast, and it went straight to the goal.

Downing passed the ball to Pang ...... Oops, Pang was entangled by the opposition centre-back. "Smith is very worried, because Burnley's strategy to defend against the fat man is to defend closely, let the fat man take the initiative to break through with the ball, and then his teammates take the opportunity to break the ball, using this strategy, they have broken the fat man several times." Oh, Pong shot! It's such a bad choice, it's too far away! ”

“goal……! goal……! Pong's long-range shot breaks the goal, the world wave! World Wave! Brace! Brace! Foster was excited, "The shot was too sudden. Oh my God, almost standing still. Pang's strength is so great, his feet are too hard! ”

"Oh, I'm going to apologize to Pong," Smith was a little embarrassed, "I just said Pong was a bad choice, James, you know, at such a distance, shooting in place in this position, the vast majority of players' shots will not be threatening!" ”

"Tom, you're right. In fact, just now I also thought that Pang made a bad choice. Foster laughed, "But we all overlooked one detail, Pang is a big guy, he has a lot of power. Pang is really an amazingly talented guy, haha! ”

In the coach's seat, Coach Karanka jumped up happily, glad that he didn't replace Pang. 'This is a very smart player, he knows how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses,' coach Karanka said to the fat man in his heart, 'maybe I should help Pang improve his skills at his feet, so that Pang is more dangerous on the field!' ’

"Coach Karanka, Ponta really did it, it's unbelievable!" Karanka's assistant Moya was also very excited.

Even happier than coach Karanka were the fans at the scene.

"Oh, I can't believe it, Pang scored twice today, it's amazing!" A fan yelled.

"I said, yes, I said, Pong can score. I guessed it right, haha! A bearded fan was even more excited.

"I'm going to buy a jersey for Pong, and I'm announcing now that I'm a fan of Pong!" A female fan is not far behind.

On the pitch, the Burnley players looked dejected, with their heads down and not speaking. I already hate the fat man in my heart, 'This damn fat man, it's too hard to defend. Knowing that his melee header is powerful, I didn't expect the long-range shot to be so good, two long-range shots, two feet of world waves, too cheating daddy? ’

The centre circle kicks off and the game continues, but Burnley's players are powerless to rewrite the scoreline. The fat man's second goal directly destroyed the confidence of the Burnley players on the field, especially the two goals of the fat man were long-range shots, which made the Burnley players feel powerless from the bottom of their hearts.

The game was over quickly. Myburgh won 2-1 at home to reach the next round of the FA Cup.

In the commentary bench, Smith and Foster are summing up the game.

"I would say it was a good game," Smith said first, "both teams played a good half each, and the biggest surprise came from the performance of Pong, who was the biggest contributor to Myburgh's victory......"

"Tom, I would say it was a tactical victory," Forster said solemnly, "I have to praise Coach Karanka for his tactics in this game, his use of Pang and Downing was very good, and he also fulfilled the tactical requirements before the game. I think after this game, Pang will get more opportunities to play......"

The fans exited the stadium in high spirits, but some people were frantically busy.

"Hudson, big news! Hurry up to the Myburgh post-match press conference! Why? Man, let me tell you, that Chinese boy from Myburgh broke out again, and the two-legged world wave took Burnley down, it was so exciting! "A reporter was in contact with a friend.

"Nick, come to the Myburgh press conference, I need your photography. Yes, big news, that new star of Myburgh team killed the game again today, and he was simply unstoppable on the field! Another reporter was greeting his companion.

"Barkley, speed, speed to Myburgh press conference. Why, don't ask me tmd why, how do I tmd know that this Chinese boy has exploded again! The boss just spoke, and the two of us must go to the press conference! The journalist on vacation was even more depressed.

Coach Karanka took the fat man to the post-match press conference. The fact that he did not bring the fat man to the press conference in the last game made Coach Karanka receive a lot of criticism. Coach Karanka also understands that the fat man will have to face all this sooner or later.

This game did not receive much attention because it was just an ordinary FA Cup match, and most of them came from Myburgh City and the surrounding areas, and Coach Karanka also wanted the fat man to get used to this atmosphere in advance, so he brought the fat man to attend, after all, this kind of interview will be indispensable in the future.

The fat man's attendance immediately made the reporters excited, and the questions asked to the fat man were also varied, which made the fat man's head big for a while, but fortunately, Coach Karanka helped by the side, and the fat man barely passed the test. For the first time, the fat man saw the power of British journalists, holding a sign of free speech, and asking questions that not only had no lower limit, but also set many traps. The Hong Kong Dog Team is powerful, that is the British Remember.

The next day, the fat man was on the front page of the Myburgh City Sports Newspaper. After all, where is the fat man's record of scoring four goals in two games, and the fans will not agree if he doesn't report to the station, and the fat man is famous in Myburgh City. The first piece of good news about Fat Man's fame is that Fat Man's jersey sales have skyrocketed, and in the future, Fat Man will be able to see more fans wearing their jersey numbers at Riverside Stadium.
