Chapter 8 Three points become one point
Matches always go by quickly, and this weekend of 16 January, Myburgh will face Putrajaya in the round of 27 matches of the league. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Putrajaya's full name is Bristol City, home to Aston? Gates. Putrajaya FC was promoted from League One to the Championship last year. This year's results have been poor, with only 4 wins in 26 league games, so the team fired the meritorious coach Steve who led the team to promotion? Cotterier, assisted by coach John? Palmburton leads the way. The fat man opens the training system to view the data:

Intelligence: 98.5
Dexterity: 74
Speed: 99.5
Explosiveness: 99.5
Stamina: 96.5
Combat Skill: Taunt (Advanced)
Overall assessment: You are a powerful fat man!
Haha, the speed and explosiveness are about to exceed 100, and the fat man is full of expectations for upgrades. The fat man guessed in his heart that the minimum standard for upgrading to a junior super warrior should be an index of 100. However, the fat man didn't go out of his way to ask the system administrator Xiao A. No matter, as long as my brother continues to train hard, the goal can be achieved sooner or later, and the system will naturally prompt it at that time, and it is not interesting to guess now.
The game is about to begin, and Smith and Foster, who are on the road, are introducing the starting line-up to the Myburgh fans in front of the TV.
“…… The starting lineup of the Myburgh team is ......" Smith broadcast loudly, although the Myburgh team was a little untidy after the New Year, but three games and three victories, which made Smith feel very happy, "Pang finally got the chance to start, he finally gained the trust of coach Karanka......"
"Yes, Tom. I have to say, Pang was really brilliant and he took his chance! Foster was excited, "Remember what I said before, Myburgh will definitely continue to bring in strikers in the winter transfer in order to promote today." Yesterday, Myburgh officially announced the loan of striker Sora from Athletic Bilbao, who is 1.85 meters tall and wears the number 23 jersey, and is also a strong impact player. But Pang has proven himself to be a serious contender for the team's main striker......"
"Yes, James! Today, Sora and Pang were both given a chance to start......" Smith echoed, "and unfortunately, Nugent will have to wait on the bench!" ”
"Hmm...... Nugent has really not been in good form lately" Foster gave Smith a look and signaled him not to speak so directly, "Nugent needs to be in good form to regain the trust of Coach Kalanka......"
"What do you think of this game, old man?" Smith asked, "The Myburgh team is the main force in this game!" ”
"Tom, I don't think it's a problem to win this fight." Forster is full of confidence, "After all, Putrajaya is a team with poor home and away results, and they are the favourites for relegation this year. ”
In fact, not only the two commentators think so, but coach Karanka also thinks so. In this game, Coach Karanka played as much as he could, just to win this opponent and get all three points. If Myburgh are to be promoted this year, they will need to pick up enough points against the weaker teams.
However, the scene after the start of the game surprised everyone. Putrajaya, who played with mourners, burst into great energy at home. From the beginning of the game, they started to scramble, and the attack of the Myburgh team also became fragmented under the opponent's scramble, and the offensive efficiency was greatly reduced.
The fat man and the striker partner Sora also did not have any tacit understanding on the field, and the fat man couldn't find Sora every time he passed. Sola likes to dribble after taking the ball, although his technique is very good and his body is also very strong, but he does not like physical confrontation, and is a little uncomfortable with the style of play in the Premier League, and repeatedly concedes the ball after winning the ball in the front court. Twenty minutes into the game, the score remained unrewritten.
"This game is difficult to play" Smith was a little helpless, "The Putrajaya team playing at home suddenly burst out with huge energy, they played very tenacious, and sent special personnel to guard Pang!" ”
"Yes, Tom. Maybe we're going to guess wrong again in this game. Foster's face was not good, "The new coach of Putrajaya is very good in coaching, and he has revitalized the team that has been on the verge of relegation so quickly!" ”
In the end, the two teams played 0-0 in the first half, you must know that Myburgh is now in first place, Putrajaya is third from the bottom, and is already in the relegation zone. However, on the court, the two sides competed not only in strength, but also in the form and willpower of the players.
At half-time, neither team made any substitutions. However, Coach Karanka criticized the players on the pitch in the dressing room, and despite the dominance of the first half, the Myburgh team did not attack very fluidly and made a lot of mistakes. Coach Karanka, although not too happy with Sora's performance, decided to give Sola as much time as possible to adapt.
In the second half, Myburgh continued to attack, and against the weaker team, Myburgh had to take three points. The fat man also knew that he had to perform, after all, the main position was still unstable.
With the continuous improvement of the fat man's agility, the fat man also began to show his dribbling skills in this game, although he stumbled, but the effect was not bad, at least the opponent defenders, did not dare to defend the fat man closely. Haha, with Qi Zu having meat to eat, my brother is also going to go through the technical flow, and the fat man is very happy to play with the ball on the field. But as soon as he arrived near the opponent's big penalty area, he rested, and in the face of the defense of the opponent's two, the fat man only lost the ball.
"Oh, Pang lost the ball again," Smith patted his forehead, feeling regretful, "but Pong's approach is encouraging, and Pong's footwork is getting better and better......"
However, Smith's Putrajaya commentator Carluk doesn't think so: "Oh, bad dribbling, the Myburgh striker is clumsy like a bear!" He should understand that the Putrajaya backline is not a place for him to go wild......"
Smith was furious when he heard the other party say this about his favorite player. I was about to go crazy, but I was stopped by Foster. However, each commentator has a different team and a different position, and it is understandable for the opponent to say so, but Smith decided to teach the opponent a lesson.
"Karuk, how about a bet? If you score a goal in this game, you have to say to the fans that you are a bear; Of course, if Pang didn't score in this game, I would say to the fans at the scene that I am a bear, dare to bet? Smith took off Mike and made a bet on the spot.
"Bet on whom, who's afraid of whom!" Karuk agreed, "The best striker doesn't score in every game, the game is over in ten minutes, Smith, you're going to lose!" ”
Soon the surrounding fans knew about the bet and shouted loudly to act as witnesses. In the UK, betting is a very common scene, which is related to the development of the gambling industry in the UK. Betting on football, betting on horses, everything. However, the most popular in the betting industry is football, and the various odds are dizzying.
After hearing the bet, most fans felt that Karuk's chances of winning were relatively large. At Putrajaya's home stadium, Putrajaya is still very likely to snatch a point. In this game, the Putrajaya team also carried out a special defense on the fat man, and everyone felt that it was very difficult for the fat man to score in this game. However, the final result will be revealed in 10 minutes.
On the court, the fat man didn't know about the bet. The fat man broke through with the ball, one is to get rid of the opponent's close defense, and the other is to verify his foot skills, after all, he and Qi Zu have also learned for a long time. The effect is not bad, it is easier to break through the defense of one person, but it is not good for two people. Yes, if the new technology doesn't work, then use the old technology. In the 85th minute, Downing suddenly broke out, broke through the defenders, and successfully completed a high-quality cross, the fat man jumped high in the middle and smashed the ball hard into the goal......
“goal……! goal……! Pong's header scores! Smith was thrilled that Pong lived up to his expectations, "Pong opened the door to victory for Myburgh!" ”
"Beautiful goal, the fat man showed us once again how good he is with his headers!" Foster is also very excited, Pang is really powerful, this time his partner Smith will not lose, "Myburgh team leads 1:0 away!" It's been a tough race! ”
When Karuk saw the fat man score, his face immediately turned to ashes. But soon he was relieved. Since you have gambled, there are naturally winners and losers, and this kind of small bet is harmless at all!
Karuk, who has been spraying the visitors, was the first to praise the Myburgh team. "Myburgh are really a strong team and I hope they can do well this season. Pang is a striker who has been helping the team with goals. I sincerely apologize to Pong, and I, Karuk, am a bear. Thank you! ”
After hearing Karuk's words, the fans at the scene suddenly burst into warm applause, and they didn't blame Karuk. Smith also took the initiative to shake hands with Karuk, and the two released their suspicions.
On the pitch, the backward Putrajaya team was making a final counterattack, and they invested a lot of troops in the attack, and they fought back wildly. After the goal, the Myburgh team played a little slack, and finally towards the end of the game, Putrajaya striker No. 22 Kodega equalized the score and knocked on the goal of the Myburgh team with a world wave.
Seeing the team's last-minute equaliser by the opponent, all the players of the Myburgh team were dumbfounded, and even the commentators Smith and Foster were shocked and speechless. Only Putrajaya commentator Crook was shouting frantically: "...... A tenacious Putrajaya side equalised...... The great Putrajaya team...... On our home turf, no one can beat us......"
In the post-match press conference, coach Karanka bluntly said that it was supposed to be a game to win all three points, but the team's final laxity turned the three points into one point. The only bright spot was Pong, who helped the team with successive goals. After hearing Coach Karanka's praise, the fat man felt weak for a while, and the fat man also despised the opponent a little in this game, otherwise he would not have practiced his dribbling skills with the opponent. There is a price to pay for despising the opponent, and three points to one point is the price.
Brighton, who are third in the league, won away from home in this round and narrowed down to three points with Myburgh to move up to second, while Derby County dropped to third. Hull City and Burnley have also recently moved up to fourth and fifth in consecutive games.
Myburgh are the leaders of the Championship and naturally receive more attention. The draw gave Myburgh a lot of criticism after the game. Coach Karanka also feels that the recent victories have made the players think of underestimating the enemy, but there is another important reason, that is, the team is now relatively short of people, to be precise, the thickness is not enough, especially in the midfield, No. 7 Leadbitt, No. 8 Clayton, No. 27 Adoma, No. 34 Foshaw almost started every game, and the substitutes were veterans No. 19 Downing and No. 10 De Pena, and the other players were useless. If Myburgh are to maintain their current position, they must bring in or rotate one or two midfielders on loan as soon as possible. Myburgh also has a bit of a problem with the striker, except for the fat man's goal, the other strikers have not scored recently, and the introduction of a striker is also imminent!
The fat man has been in hot form recently, scoring goals one after another, and his life is very moist. However, Manchester United, which the fat man likes, has not had a good time recently. After the Champions League exit, it seemed to lose its soul, and the league ushered in a wave of three consecutive defeats, losing to promoted Bournemouth and Norwich City with a score of 1:2, and then losing to Swansea City 0:2, and the ranking also fell out of the top five. The media boldly predicted that Van Gaal was about to step down and his successor would be Mourinho! However, after three consecutive defeats, Manchester United's performance has improved, with two wins and two draws in the last four games, although the decline has been stopped, but there is still a four-point gap between the top four. As the media has said, if United do not qualify for the Champions League this season, then Louis van Gaal's rebuilding of Manchester United will be over.
After the away game against Putrajaya, Myburgh will return to their home game against Nottingham next on 23 January. After the game, Coach Karanka announced a day off. Recently, the players have entered a period of fatigue, and the holidays can make the players better relax physically and mentally.
After the fat man told Caroline about the holiday, Caroline rushed from Manchester to Myburgh that night. The fat man didn't go home and dragged Caroline into the hotel. After the fat man recently opened his heart knot, he was not emotionally repulsive to Caroline. Maybe it's loneliness, maybe it's loneliness, maybe it's family affection, maybe it's love, the fat man himself can't say clearly, but he feels more and more eager to see Caroline. When the two entered the room, they rolled out of bed without saying anything, and after a burst of passion, the two began to talk about their hearts.
