Chapter Twenty-Six: Blessings and Misfortunes
The Niu Han United team has won six consecutive victories since the start of the game, ranking first in the list, and the fans of the club and Niu Han United are jubilant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the six-game winning streak has not come without a price, and the price paid has been extraordinary, and the fitness of the players in the Niu Han United is starting to sound the alarm.
The English League Cup is back on September 21, with the Bulls taking on Tranmere Rovers away. The game is just three days away from the last League One game, the Cow Han United and Bristol City. The medical department of the Niu Han United Club began to warn that some of the main players of Niu Han United were no longer physically fit enough to play another high-intensity League Cup
Harry. No matter how inspiring Redkner is, he will grasp the fighter again, and he will arrange the troops again, he can't replace the players in the game, and he can't be a good daughter-in-law without rice.
……
At the beginning of the season, Harry. Rednecker, the head coach, did an excellent job, relying on the advantage of the pre-season training camp of the Niu Han League to adopt flexible game tactics when the team was not in order. Basically, Niu Han United uses one tactic for every game. But the theme was attacking, attacking, attacking again, and hitting the League One opponent by surprise.
Especially in the third game, Stankoli Moore was out with a red card. Harry. Rednecker, using the super impact 460 tactics of attacking players, defeated the visiting Watford 6:4, which is also a bottleneck for the Niu Han United team, basically maintaining the player lineup from last season, defeating the not weak Watford.
However, the team's offensive tactics are good, winning the favor of fans and attracting the attention of the media. But for a long league, this way of playing greatly consumes the players' physical energy, and now Niu Hanlian finally can't stand it.
Originally, the second also fantasized about discussing with the Brazilian national team that the three players of the Niu Han League could be released to come back to compete, because of Brazil, they have already qualified for the qualification.
However, the Brazilian Football Federation rejected Niu Hanlian's request, believing that the Brazilian national team players are basically playing in national leagues, and they can't set such a precedent just because Niu Hanlian is a club requesting, so how will they manage these players who play in Europe in the future.
Moreover, the last game, it was Brazil and Uruguay to close the palace, Uruguay is a South American powerhouse, the away team has played 1:1, the home must win back, otherwise the Brazilian domestic fans will make a scene.
In a word, don't let people go.
Now the national team is much stronger than the club, and the second can't change even if he scolds his mother, and the three players of Niu Hanlian can't return to the club to participate in the game.
Finally, on September 19, the Brazilian national team played the last 94 US World Cup South American qualifiers, defeating Uruguay 2-0 at home, and the players can return to Niu Han United.
The second looked at it, forget it, even if the three Brazilians came back by charter flight overnight, they couldn't catch up with this League Cup match.
That's because the three players of Niu Han United were all starters in the last game, and they all played normal games, and now they are back in Niu Han League, with jet lag, plus they played the World Cup qualifiers for two months, and the three of them are not ironclad and have to rest.
The Brazilian trio's fitness did not allow them to continue playing, and there was no point in rushing back, so he informed Dunga and told them to rest in Brazil for another day, and then rushed back to England to report to the Niu Han United Club.
……
Now there is no physical problem with Stankolimore, the main striker of the Niu Han United Club, but he was fouled in the last game and suffered a minor injury, and he can also play with an injury, but this is not in line with Niu Han United's compliance.
Dening, he wasn't a shooting machine in the first place, he was transformed from a midfielder to a striker, the main player in six games, five goals, it's not easy to get, it's a fighter that needs to run non-stop on the pitch to get it, and so he has to rest in this game.
There is only one left, 30-year-old Dave. Penny, 20-year-old Kevin. Phillips and 18-year-old Howard. Freton.
In the midfield, Bee Joey was not a physical strongman, Jimmy Magillton, Chris Allen also did not rest, the old captain Les Phillips is in his 30s, and now he is completely relying on his will to insist, he has been waiting for Dunga to come back for a long time, and he can't play.
Now there are Qin Long, Paul Vannis, Robert Ford, and Nick in the midfield. Cusack, 19-year-old Mark. Andrew, 16-year-old Frank Lampard, six.
The defenders are not iron-clad either, Matt Elillo, Andy. Melville, Michael Lewis also played six games, especially Michael Lewis, as a left-back, has also been desperately assisting this season, and his physical fitness has not kept up.
The back line is left with McFord and Leslie. Robinson, 19 years old. David. Solihull, 17-year-old Danny. Gu Li. Bracknell, 16-year-old Leo. Ferdinand, 16-year-old Simon. Thomas. Peter Marsh, six.
There are also two goalkeepers, Paul. Klee and Paul. John. Reece and Johnson.
If you look at the list, it's still very good, there are still 17 people, and it is estimated that it will be starry in three or five years, but the problem is that it will be later, and it will not be available now.
Harry. Rednecker's coaching staff is also worried, and when he looks at it, forget it, the League Cup will simply train the newcomers! The coaching staff must make it clear to these young players that they have to play seriously and that even if they lose, the team will not blame them. I just want them to recognize themselves and how they can make progress. If the team wins, then the original team will play the next game.
……
On September 21, the Bulls came to the home of the Tranmere Rovers, Préton Park.
Tranmere Rovers are located in Merseyside, where there are now two of the Premier League's biggest clubs, the Reds and the Toffees Everton.
However, is it too much for Tranmere Rovers to treat Liverpool and Everton as their derby rivals? However, it can be seen from this point how strong the Tranmere Rovers are.
……
As soon as the starting line-up for the Carabao Cup match was in hand, the Tranmere Rovers manager realised he was wrong, and he couldn't have been more wrong.
What is Niu Hanlian doing?
Niu Han United is aggressive in the league, and in the League Cup, a group of young people have been played.
You, Niu Han United, are you looking down on the League Cup or the Tranmere Rovers?
……
Therefore, in the dressing room of Pretton Park, the dressing room atmosphere of the two teams is simply two days of ice and fire.
In the locker room of the Niuhan United team, the team's head coach Harry. Redkner smiled and asked the young players to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, tiredness, and losing.
Lao Lei also encouraged, we are young, this is good. But on the pitch, we're going to fight with them, let the Tranmere Rovers players know that the youth team is not something to bully, and every one of you has to be ready to play at any time.
The Niu Han United team is simply a naked training posture.
However, in the dressing room of the home team at Pretton Park, Tranmere Rovers manager John Allen King was furious.
He asked the players of the team to hit Niu Hanlian hard and make them look down on us!
He also stimulated that if we don't win this game, then we will be the laughing stock of England. Can you accept the fact that a professional senior team loses to a youth team?
The Tranmere Rovers players screamed in agitation.
……
The game begins and the players enter.
Cows United, that is McFord at the beginning, II finished, interspersed with the first appearance of the season forward Howard, midfielder Paul Van Lis, defenders Danny Bracknell, Simon Peter Swamp and others.
When the players of the two teams shook hands, II noticed that Simon Peter's legs were trembling, and his face was a little pale. He just came out of Niu Hanlian Youth School and was only 16 years old. However, if you don't play, you are done, and when you play, you are participating in England's top competitions.
He's not a big heart player, he can't accept it.
……
McFord, as the captain of the game for the Niu Han United, chose the right to kick off before the whistle blew for the game.
The team's forwards, Howard and Kevin Phillips, stood on either side of the ball.
Howard also pretended to be calm, after all, he also played on the amateur team.
However, when Kevin Phillips gently dialed the ball to him, this Howard, when the two were not more than a meter apart, Howard could only touch the ball and did not stop the ball.
He made a mistake in the opening game, but fortunately, Kevin Phillips had a bigger heart and more experience, so he turned around and grabbed the Tranmere Rovers player before taking the ball, and then passed it to II on the left wing.
The Tranmere Rovers players probably didn't expect the team's forwards to make mistakes on the kick-off.
……
The second received a pass from Phillips, stepped on it, waved his big hand, opened his throat, and shouted in a hoarse voice, reminding his friends to concentrate.
At this time, Howard, the striker of Niu Han United, woke up like a dream, and he made a mistake.
He grabbed his hair and ran to the frontcourt......
His mistake drew a tsunami of boos from the stadium's home team, Tranmere Rovers.
……
The commentator of BBC Radio, who commented the game, also laughed directly. It's just disgusting to jokingly scold the Niu Han United team, and even use England's top competition, the League Cup, as a training ground.
However, the commentator then analyzed why the players of Niu Han United are not tidy, that is, the Brazilian three-person gang is playing the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil and has not come back, but the main team of Niu Han United has basically played six league games, and the team has won six consecutive victories, which is amazing, but the players are too tired.
It can be seen from here that this host has done his homework in the Niu Han Lian Club, otherwise there is no way to say these truths, and he is still biased towards Niu Han Lian.
……
In the frontcourt, II did not have space for him to dribble the ball, and after attracting the opposing player to come up and defend, he gently picked up the ball and passed it to midfielder Robert Ford in the frontcourt.
Robert Ford was adjusting his pace after receiving the ball when Tranmere Rovers' Pat Brownmere Rovers. Nevin rushed from one side and knocked Robert Ford to the ground with the ball. (To be continued.) )
