Before the game began, it was still the time for Smith and Foster to tease the fans. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"James, Pong is on the sports pages of England's major media again, this is the third time, right?" Smith sighed, "The Myburgh team has also become famous because of Pang's excellence, and the exposure rate has increased significantly!" ”

"Pang has really made the club more popular." Forss nodded, "The introduction of Pang Zhen by the Myburgh team is a matter of fame and fortune, a perfect recruitment!" ”

"I always remember how the media commented on Pang when his 13-game scoring streak came to an end...... said that Pang's shining moment was over, Pang was about to enter a downturn, and Pang's characteristics were understood by his opponents...... Anyway, I'm not optimistic about Pang! Smith pouted, very concerned, "I didn't expect that after the international break, Pang once again used two hat-tricks to get revenge perfectly......

"Tom, in fact, many people think this way, including me," Foster scratched his head embarrassedly, "Pong's previous performance was too amazing, brilliant like fireworks, but few people believe that he can keep it this way...... The media wrote this to attract attention, but they reversed very quickly, and they have been praising Pang's performance for the past few days......"

"I have always believed in a saying: there is a pay, there is a return!" Smith said seriously, "Pang interprets the meaning of this sentence very well. Of course, the Times reporter named Emma also interpreted this sentence very well. "The goal maniac is also a training maniac", a great report......"

"Tom, do you think Pang is it possible to score another hat-trick in this game?" Foster smiled mysteriously, "There are many players who have done two hat-tricks in a row, but there are very few players who have done three hat-tricks in a row......"

"This ...... It's too difficult! Smith thought for a moment and shook his head, "It's not that I don't believe Pang, it's that Pang has become famous after two consecutive hat tricks have been bombarded by the media, and the opponent in this game will definitely send heavy troops to guard Pang, and he wants to complete the hat trick, which is ten times more difficult than before......"

"Alright, Tom, it's getting late, let's announce the starting lineups of both teams." Foster shifted the subject, "...... Myburgh's starting lineup is...... Myburgh continued to start the previous game, and Karanka's intention was clear that they wanted to win all three points at home......

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began. The Myburgh team, which was playing at home, immediately attacked the opponent, and Preston did not play against the Myburgh team, but chose to defend solidly and play defensive counterattack tactics. The whole team retreated to their own half, leaving only two strikers, No. 12 Carragher and No. 14 Garner, to sweep around midfield.

In fact, Preston's most dangerous player is their forward No. 11 Johnson, who is the team's top scorer with his speed and long-range shooting skills. Preston took the initiative to recover, and the Myburgh team could only play positional battles. Fat Man and No. 9 Rhodes were in front, and two wings, No. 19 Downing and No. 21 Ramirez, took a high cross, and Fat Man and Rhodes competed for the header.

Ten minutes into the game, Myburgh laid siege to Preston for ten minutes, but it didn't work out well. Preston North End had apparently made targeted arrangements for Myburgh's tactics before the game. There are as many as three Preston players defending the fat man, namely No. 23 Huntington at central defender, No. 16 Braun at the back and No. 19 Wales, two highs and one combination; Preston is the other central defender No. 5 Clarke who defends No. 9 Rhodes, Preston is the two full-backs No. 3 Cunningham and No. 15 Woods in the defense of veteran Downing and No. 21 Ramirez, and No. 7 Humphrey in midfield is in charge of the defense.

'Myburgh are in trouble again, and even though it's only been ten minutes into the game, the result is already clear. Smith shook his head, "Preston has studied the offensive tactics of Myburgh very thoroughly, and the defense is very targeted, and Myburgh will face another tough game. ”

"Every opponent in Myburgh is not easy to play against. Because Myburgh are first in the league, every opponent is proud to beat Myburgh, and they have studied Myburgh thoroughly and their tactical arrangements are very targeted. "To gain an advantage, Myburgh has to be at their best and, of course, flexible. ”

"Look, Pang has as many as three defenders by his side, which is really not low!" Smith quipped, "It's really a person who is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and Pang is the one who is in the biggest trouble in the Myburgh team......"

"Pang will face a huge test in this tournament and his performance will be crucial for Myburgh." In Foster's words, "Pang must show all his strength, and of course Pang must learn to use his teammates to share the pressure......"

On the field, Preston's targeted defense made the Myburgh team's attack encounter a lot of resistance, especially the fat man, who had difficulty getting the ball. After 20 minutes of play, Myburgh still did not break through the opponent's goal, but allowed Preston to play two counter-attacks, almost allowing Myburgh to lose the goal.

Myburgh are now too reliant on a few players up front. Due to the fat man's continuous goals, No. 9 Rhodes and No. 35 Nugent also scored repeatedly, and Downing and Ramirez, who were on both sides of the Myburgh team, took the initiative to reduce the number of shots on goal. The back 8 Clayton and 7 Leadbit made defense their number one task, and the number of shots on goal was even less pitiful. Not to mention the four defenders, as long as they come up at the corner, they come up to join in the fun. The attacking personnel of the Myburgh team are small, which makes it easier for the opponent to defend the Myburgh team, as long as you keep an eye on the offensive players in the front, the fat man is the focus of care, every time the fat man gets the ball, three defenders immediately surround him, three hands and six feet together, the fat man really can't bear it.

"The offensive tactics of the Myburgh team are too monotonous, and only relying on a few people in the front court such as Pang can't tear apart the opponent's defense at all!" Smith hit the nail on the head, "When these offensive players in the front court are killed by the opponent, the players in the back court have to take on more responsibility on the offensive end......"

"It's up to coach Karanka," said Foster, "and the midfielders have to take the initiative to fire, share the pressure on Pang and Rhodes, and draw the opposition defenders in......

Myburgh team's delay in opening the situation at home made the fans at Riverside Stadium very anxious. Everyone talked a lot and gave advice for the Myburgh team.

"The Preston people are so hateful, they send heavy troops to defend Pang!" One fan was dissatisfied.

"How do you feel, only Pang and Rhodes are attacking, why don't the others shoot?" A longtime fan was puzzled.

"The midfielders in Myburgh have given the attack to Pang and Rhodes, which is not good, it is too easy to defend!" Third floor

"Myburgh should have more people involved in the attack, and we can't just leave the task of scoring goals to Pang and Rhodes." Fourth floor

"Adjustment, must be adjusted. That's not going to work! "Fifth floor

“……”

In the coach's box, Coach Karanka had a serious look on his face, and he also noticed the situation. In fact, before the arrival of Fat Man and Rhodes, the Myburgh team was also an attacking group helping the team score goals. Nugent, Stuani, Downing, etc., there are as many as eight or nine players in the Myburgh team who have scored. Now the situation has completely changed, due to the fat man's excellent performance, Rhodes's form has gradually adjusted to the best, and his teammates have unconsciously handed over the task of scoring goals to the front, and the desire to take the initiative to score goals is less.

For the rest of the first half, the Myburgh team continued to surround the opponent and bombarded indiscriminately, but unfortunately the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and by the end of the first half, the Myburgh team did not break through the opponent's door. The two sides fought to a 0:0 draw.

At halftime, coach Karanka did not make any substitutions, but adjusted his tactics. In the second half, Fat Man and Rhodes will no longer be the focus of the team's attack, and the main task will become the strategy. The four players in midfield are mainly responsible for attacking, and full-back No.24 Nsue has to boldly step forward to assist.

On the pitch, at the start of the second half, Myburgh's new tactics began to play a role. No. 24 Ensue's insertion of assists made Preston's defense appear a certain amount of confusion, and the frequent insertion of No. 8 Clayton and No. 7 Lidebit made Preston's marking defensive system begin to appear porous, after all, the number of attackers of the Myburgh team is almost the same as that of Preston's defense.

In the first ten minutes of the second half, Myburgh had already had four shots on goal, and if it weren't for Preston's goalkeeper No.1 Lindgaard, who was high and low, Myburgh would probably have breached the opposition's goal.

"Beautiful attack, Myburgh's new tactics are starting to work." Foster was very excited to see that the attack of the Myburgh team began to improve, "The shots of the midfielders of the Myburgh team, almost no one interfered, and there was a big hole in the Preston team's tactics......"

"Pang and Rhodes didn't have a shot, but they attracted a lot of defenders," Smith commented, "Preston's tactics are starting to lose sight...... The chance for Myburgh is here......"

In the dugout, Preston head coach Simon? Garrison was a little unable to sit still, and now the team was playing too passively, and the targeted defense set up before the game was broken by the opponent. Especially that damn Pang, who didn't attack at all, just ran around in the opponent's penalty area, and kept switching positions with No. 9 Rhodes, pulling Preston's back line to pieces.

If the fat man doesn't attack, then the three Preston players who are targeting the fat man won't be able to play a role. The match between the two teams felt as if Myburgh had one or two more players on the pitch. Didn't wait for Preston head coach Simon? Garrison made a change, and Myburgh's second-half offense finally paid off.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, No. 24 Nzue stepped forward to assist, and Fat Man and No. 9 Rhodes chose to pull the side and pull their defenders to the two wings. No. 21 Ramirez and No. 19 Downing did not run to the middle, Preston in the middle except for No. 7 Humphrey, basically empty, facing the insertion of No. 7 Leadbit and No. 8 Clayton of the Myburgh team, No. 7 Humphrey could only choose one person to defend, and finally he chose No. 7 Leadbitt and let go of No. 8 Clayton. No. 8 Clayton received a pass from No. 24 Ensué and unguarded a long-range shot that opened the Preston North End goal.

“…… No.24 Nsue stepped forward to assist...... Pang and Rhodes at Rabian...... The opponent's defense in the middle is empty, chance! Smith was excited again, and he spoke fast," Ensué said, sending the ball down the middle...... Clayton's Chances...... Unguarded ...... Shot ......"

“goal……! goal……! Myburgh has scored! Commentator Smith shouted out to the audience, "It was Myburgh's No. 8 Clayton who scored. Preston North End leaked through the middle and the unguarded Clayton took his feet to his feet and fired a long-range shot past the opposition. ”

"Perfect offense, Myburgh have found a new tactic to restrain Preston Platon" Foster was also happy, "Myburgh's offense has finally paid off......"

Goal No. 8 Clayton was so excited that he ran straight to the stands behind the Preston goal to celebrate with the Myburgh fans.

The fat man was also happy that the team finally opened up the situation. Although he didn't score this goal, he also made his own contribution to this goal. Football is a collective sport in the end, and only when everyone is strong is it really strong.

On the pitch, taking advantage of the break in the game, Preston head coach Simon ? Garrison called several players over to teach them face-to-face. After the game restarted, Preston began to make up for it, and No. 16 Braun and No. 19 Wales, who defended the fat man, were successively put into attack, and the fat man suddenly changed from the protagonist to an extra, and even Preston central defender No. 23 Huntington ignored the fat man, and Preston's tactics have changed from defensive counterattacks to big pressures.

"Preston started to fight back, they relaxed their defense against Pong, it wasn't a wise decision!" Smith quipped, "I think Pong's performance time is coming......"

"Simon? Coach Garrison also has no choice, his team is now behind the score and needs to increase the offensive strength. Foster also teased, "I think Pang will teach him a lesson soon......"

On the sidelines, coach Karanka hurriedly gestured to the players on the field to make the players retreat. Myburgh began to slowly shrink their defence, playing with the opening tactics, with No. 24 Nsue, No. 7 Leadbitt and No. 8 Clayton all cutting back and refocusing on defence.

On the pitch, after withstanding a wave of Preston offensive, Myburgh seized the opportunity again. In the 25th minute of the second half, defender No. 3 Fred made a long pass, the ball accurately found No. 19 Downing, and No. 3 Cunningham, who defended Downing, had no time to return to defense. This time the ball was passed a little low, and the fat man who outflanked him in the middle also ran a little bit. The fat man turned sharply and blocked the ball with his chest, and before the ball landed, the fat man shot directly with a barb. The fat man's barb shot is really not beautiful, his body is not in the air, not to say, he still leans back on the spot, and his right leg is driven by his body and kicks the ball. The Preston North End goalkeeper apparently didn't expect the fat man to take that shot. By the time he could react, the ball had flown into the goal.

“…… Fred's long pass finds Downing, the opponent's wing is empty, Myburgh's chance! Smith was excited, "Downing dribbled the ball to the bottom, the defender came over to defend, Downing crossed......"

"Oh, Pang kind of ran over...... Pong turned to unload the ball with his chest, Pong was adjusting the angle of the shot" Smith stared at the ball, "Oh my God, Pong barbed the shot......"

“goal……! goal……! Myburgh took a 2-0 lead. Smith's shout detonated the audience again, "It was Pang who scored the goal, and he scored with an inverted hook shot that broke the opponent's goal." Frankly speaking, Pang's barb shot this time was really not pretty, but it was very sudden, and the effect was very good! ”

"Haha! Ha ha! Foster tried to cover his mouth, not wanting to laugh at the birth, "Pong's barb is not pretty, but it is very practical...... Pang is a back-and-back barb in place...... I...... I haven't seen this kind of shooting action in years......"

There was also a burst of laughter from the stands at Riverside Stadium, and the fans were clearly amused by the fat man's shot.

"I thought Pang had fallen, but I didn't expect Pang to shoot on a barb......" one fan shook his head.

"I thought Pang was going to adjust, but I didn't expect him to choose to shoot, it was too sudden! But the effect is fantastic! Another fan had an expression of surprise.

"Pang scored again, he's the best!" A female fan praised.

"I have to say, Pong's shot was a bit funny, but it was a wonderful goal!" A long-time fan gave his own comment.

“……”

was ridiculed by the commentator Smith, and the fat man was helpless. The fat man wanted to make the action more beautiful, but this thing is really not that simple, especially the fat man is doing this action for the first time, it would be good to be able to kick the ball into the goal, and the action is not beautiful and can only be slowly improved in the future.

On the pitch, Preston North End fell behind by two goals and chose to continue their onslaught, with twenty minutes left in the game and they still had a chance. However, the players on the pitch were a little impatient in their rush to equalise, and under their onslaught, strikers No. 12 Carragher and No. 11 Johnson each had a good chance to shoot, but unfortunately both fired anti-aircraft guns.

"Oh, it's high again, Preston are playing too fast," Smith shook his head, "and they wasted a good shot again!" ”

'Preston North End has gotten into the rhythm of Myburgh's game, and that's not a good thing for them. Foster commented, "They were too eager to equalise...... They could have played more patiently......"

On the field, Preston North End, which had been unable to attack for a long time, suffered another blow. In the 35th minute of the second half, Ramirez crossed from the side, and the fat man who was outflanked in the middle jumped high and broke the goal guarded by Lindegaard again with a header. Defending the fat man's No. 23 Huntington felt like he had done his best, but couldn't stop the fat man from scoring the goal. The fat man's strength is too strong, and he has a strong prediction of the landing point of the ball, and he simply blocks it after starting.

“goal……! goal……! Pang scored again! Brace! Smith's shout set the pitch off for the third time, "this time with Pong's trademark header." Will Pang still be able to score a hat-trick in this game? We'll see! ”

"Hapless Huntington, he's powerless to stop Pong's header" Foster shook his head, "he lost the aerial duel with Pong......"

Smith and Foster's words immediately drew a lot of hatred for the fat man, and the fat man noticed that many Preston players were throwing angry glances at him.

Grandma's, make a fortune and be low-key, and score goals should be low-key! This Uncle Smith really pitted my brother! Sure enough, when the fat man got the ball again, the defender just let go of the tackle. Coach Karanka reacted quickly and directly replaced the fat man with No. 18 Stujoni.

"Coach Karanka replaced Pang ...... with Stuani In order to avoid Pang being hurt needlessly, coach Karanka replaced Pang "Smith, who was in a good mood, teased the fat man," "Unlucky Pang, his dream of a third hat-trick was shattered......"

After the fat man went off the field, Preston also made personnel adjustments, replacing midfielder No. 7 Humphrey with striker No. 25 Hugill, Preston continued to strengthen the attack, wanting to use the remaining time to pull back a goal and save some face. But most of the Preston players are physically exhausted after 80 minutes of hard work against their opponents.

"Preston North End are still attacking, they are playing tenacious, but it doesn't help," Forster analysed, "I would say that it was Preston who didn't adjust their tactics in the second half and caused them to lose this game......

On the pitch, with more than ten minutes left in the game, Preston did not break through the goal of the Myburgh team despite their efforts to attack, but gave the Myburgh team a chance. Myburgh's No. 7 Leadbit sent a long pass over the top at the back, and No. 9 Rhodes got a direct chance to head the goal, but his shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and the follow-up No. 18 Stuzuni easily scored with a follow-up shot. Myburgh extended the score to 4:0.

“goal……! goal……! Myburgh led 4-0 "Smith's shout detonated the game for the fourth time," Stuani's goal. Rhodes' header was saved by the goalkeeper and Stuani slotted home from the spot. Stuani, who came off the bench, scored a goal and Rhodes received an assist! ”

"There is no suspense in the game!" Foster raised his hands and said, "Congratulations to Myburgh for another big win......

In the end, Myburgh beat Preston 4-0 at home. Although Myburgh won the game, it also exposed a lot of problems. In the first 65 minutes of the game, Myburgh did not score; In the last 25 minutes, he scored four goals in a row, and this huge contrast exposed the monotony of Myburgh's attack, and the team relied too much on the performance of several players in the front court such as Fat Man and Rhodes.

The next task for coach Karanka is to add more attacking routines and get more players involved in the attack to prevent that from happening in the first half.
