A week's rest and training time passed quickly, and the second game of the League One schedule arrived as scheduled, when the Niuhan United took on promoted Maxi Bromwich Albion.
In this game, the players of Niu Han United are free of disasters and diseases, full of physical energy, and the main positions of the main players on the field will certainly not be adjusted, so the second still appears as a substitute player.
Chilling!
The owner of the team can only sit on the bench, and is called by Lao Lei and the team's coaching staff - a universal substitute.
Who told II to be able to play so many positions, and every one of them was so good?
The second is the living Lei Feng, a brick of Niu Hanlian, where you need to move!
β¦β¦
The time came to August 21, 1993.
On this day, in Sandwell, West Midlands, England, there is a football stadium called Hawthorn Sports Stadium, which has a dragon gate with oriental charm, and a group of challengers walked in from the dragon gate, which is the menacing Niu Han United Club men's football team.
The arrival of the Niu Han United team was a guest at the Hawthorn Stadium with a score of 4:0.
However, no one in the Niu Han United team thought that they were really coming to the Hawthorn Stadium as a guest, and these players were all shouting before the game, we came to the Hawthorn Stadium, which was to play in the hall.
β¦β¦
The match between the two teams had just begun, and the West Bromwich Albion home fans waved all kinds of gadgets to cheer up and sang the team song, which made the Niu Han United fans, who were only more than 300 people at the scene, speechless.
The on-site commentator of the West Bromwich Albion team has just finished reading the list of appearances of both sides, and then is beginning to talk about the historical confrontation between the West Bromwich Albion team and the Niu Han United, proudly proclaiming loudly that the West Bromwich Albion team has been unbeaten in 12 consecutive games in the home match against Niu Han United, and has achieved 8 wins and 4 draws, which is absolutely dominant......
Before the words were finished, West Bromwich Albion conceded a goal.
Jimmy Magillton received a pass from Chris Allen in less than three minutes, broke through from the wing, advanced quickly, and hit the goal with his feet on the edge of the penalty area.
With a global wave, the ball flew from the corner between the post and the crossbar and sent West Bromwich Albion high into the net.
The goalkeeper of the West Bromwich Albion team could only turn his head and watch the ball enter the goal like a cannonball, without making any remedial action, just standing silently, and did not recover for a long time.
The passionate and proud voice of the West Bromwich Albion on-site commentator came to an abrupt end, and the stadium fell silent, only the more than 300 fans of the visiting team Niu Han United stood up and cheered.
β¦β¦
I really don't know what the live commentators of the West Bromwich Albion team think?
Didn't you notice that Niu Han United beat Portsmouth 4-0 in their last game?
Also, is there any reference to the history of your West Bromwich Albion team?
Did you play against the Bulls last season?
You, West Bromwich Albion, are you promoted this season, okay?
You, West Bromwich Albion, can't be modest?
You, don't look at Niu Hanlian who were almost relegated last season?
Now the name of Niu Han United has been changed, last season it was called Oxford United, this season it is called Niu Han United, there is one more name of Huntington, and the two places together can't beat you West Bromwich Albion in an isolated location?
Of course it's a joke.
But with the investment in reinforcements in the new season and the salary level of players, can the current West Bromwich Albion team compare with Niu Han United?
β¦β¦
As the game continues, the West Bromwich Albion on-field commentator may not have paid attention to the last game of the Niu Han United, but the West Bromwich Albion manager will not fail to notice.
However, West Bromwich Albion's defensive players were caught in the attention of the tall and muscular Stankoli More.
Stancollymore was like a bull, rushing left and right, moving back and forth, drawing the attention of West Bromwich Albion's defence.
As the Oxford Post reported exclusively, League One defenders take note that there is a situation on the front line of the pitch, and it is the new Ollie of Cowham United.
β¦β¦
Little bees, little bees Joey Chambaugh dribbled the ball along the wing, and the speed was really fast.
Cut in, he went in.
Pass!
At this moment, from the side of Stancolly Moore, a not very tall figure wearing a red and black sword-striped shirt appeared in this vacancy.
Catch the ball, shoot low!
The goalkeeper pounces sideways.
But there was no pounce on the ball.
The ball was still kicked into the goal by Dening!
Once a veteran of West Bromwich Albion, John Deenning scored his second goal of the season with ease under the cover of Stankolimore, two goals in two games and is in good form.
β¦β¦
The West Bromwich Albion players saw that the situation was not good, and before the first half was over, they conceded two goals and lost face.
That being the case, West Bromwich Albion began to play to the defensive prowess of last season.
Defense, that is, the ferocity, brutality and fouls of the English second division.
On the pitch, it's chaos.
The referee's whistle began to blow one after another.
That is, because in West Bromwich Albion's home stadium, which is the Hawthorn Stadium, the referee gives face, and the action of pulling cards is relatively beneficial to West Bromwich Albion.
Now, the Niu Han United team has a two-goal lead, and if you foul again to interrupt the rhythm of the game, Niu Han can't score, but you West Bromwich Albion can't score either.
However, the hardcore West Bromwich Albion fans of the Hatsworth Stadium at the Hawthorn Stadium began to boil again as soon as they saw that the team they were supporting was finally playing with momentum.
β¦β¦
On the pitch, Stancollymore was the most violated.
As soon as Stancolly More was ready to catch the ball, the two stepped forward to surround and guard, like escorting prisoners, and occasionally put their arms into Stan. Collymore inside his arm, not letting him start.
This time it was again a foul by a West Bromwich Albion defender on Stankolimore.
In fact, Stancollymore was out of the box, but West Bromwich Albion's defenders still knocked Stancollymore to the ground.
To be honest, now Stancollimore is in a peaceful state of mind, he has earned enough money, and the respect he has gained in Niu Han Lian is unprecedented, and he is no longer as extreme as before, otherwise he would have exploded a long time ago.
β¦β¦
A free kick by Niu Han United, Chris Allen takes the penalty.
The ball that was sent off flew straight above Collymore's head in an arc.
West Bromwich Albion have two desperate pulls on Collymore.
But, who is Collymore?
That's the new Ollie of the Niu Han League.
I saw that Stancollimore tucked his abdomen, kicked his legs, jumped up, straightened his chest, spread his shoulders, pushed away his entwined arms, and then flew like this.
The bull put on his wings.
Stankoli Moore's header strikes!
II jumped off the bench because the goal went in.
β¦β¦
Tickββ, tick, tick-
What does that mean?
The second was stunned, and the long whistle indicated that the goal was valid.
What does this mean?
I saw the referee on duty push away the opposing captain, run out of the penalty area, and took out a red card.
β¦β¦
The West Bromwich Albion defender fell to the ground, his hands over his face.
Several people in the West Bromwich Albion penalty area were preparing to go violent.
A confrontation begins in the penalty area!
β¦β¦
The second who stood up from the bench to celebrate, standing on the sidelines before he was excited, saw this scene, and suddenly felt bad, Niu Hanlian is now in an incomplete lineup, and he can't get red and yellow cards because of the conflict.
So II ran along the edge of the football field and shouted, "Calm down, calm down, Stan!" Chris! Matt! We don't have the same knowledge as them! β
Les Phillips, the first thing the captain pulled was his own team member, and at this time he also exerted the majesty of the captain, and shouted: "Spread out, spread out!" β
When the Niu Han United players saw that the boss and the captain were shouting to calm down, everyone began to disperse around the periphery, and the referee flashed a red card at Stankolimore, signaling the team doctor of West Bromwich Albion to come on the field, in fact, their team doctor had already gone up.
The opposing defender was indeed injured, leaving bright red blood on his face.
β¦β¦
Whether Stankolimore fouled or not, II really didn't see it clearly, but seeing Stankolimore's stubborn and unwilling to go down often, II took the initiative to meet him.
II stepped forward and put one hand on Collymore's shoulder, who had begun to get restless, and accompanied him to the locker room.
The second began to chatter like a Tang monk.
"Stan, red card, it's nothing. I saw it, it was the opposing player who fouled first, he headbutted you on the arm, he did it himself. β
"Stan, don't blame yourself, as long as you didn't mean it, there's nothing guilty, it's war on the football field, and bloodshed and injuries are inevitable. It's like a fight, first of all, you can't suffer, and as for the aftermath, ......"
The Second spoke, realizing that he had lost his mouth, didn't this provoke the restlessness in Collymore's blood?
Sure enough, I saw that Stancollimore's eyes began to glow like a green wolf. The second hurriedly scolded: "You can't fight, no matter when!" You are a public figure, maintain your image! You are a football star, and a football star is an idol in the hearts of the fans. Look, you've got a red card, we've got one less person on the pitch, and you won't be able to play in the next game......"
Seeing that Stancollimore was still a little restless, he further persuaded, "Stan, you've been punished, and that's over." That's not good in League One, you see West Bromwich Albion is too savage, but you're also too good, neither of you can look at you, and you still put the ball in the goal, if I ....."
"Alright, alright, why are you talking so much? It's noisy, it's so long-winded! β
The second was so angry that he pushed Collymore and scolded: "You thing that doesn't know the hearts of good people! β
"Is it a good heart? That night at the bar, the owner had very few words and it was cool! How can the heart of the human being change when it is healed? Was he pretending at the time? Stankolimore's thoughts changed quickly, and on the pitch, he suddenly thought of the scene he wanted to see in the bar and the second, and couldn't help but mutter.
The second was also baffled by these two goods, and he really couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Hearing Stankolimore's muttering, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "Why did I pretend, why did I pretend?" Don't say a word, huh! Hum! Also, you go into the locker room alone, I won't accompany you, I don't know the things of good people......"
After saying that, he turned around and walked back, ready to continue to be on the bench.
Stancollimore, standing at the door of the passage, watching the second leave, his heart warmed, and suddenly he felt that Oxford was so good, although the nightlife was not so rich.
Stankolimore just like that, looking at the second, suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled. (To be continued.) )
