Three days later, the Bulls played the Carabao Cup at home against Tranmere Rovers, which was also the second leg of the match between the two teams. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Unfortunately, in the game, Tranmere Rovers came together to maintain a big lead in the first leg.

Although the players of the Niuhan United team also worked very hard, in the first half, two holes were drilled in the Tranmere Rovers defence.

However, in the second half, Tranmere Rovers defended more resolutely.

If the Bulls are to play at their home stadium, they will have to beat Tranmere Rovers FC by a big score to qualify for the next round of the United Cup.

As the game time passed, the hope of Niu Hanlian advancing gradually faded.

Just after Rivaldo's beautiful free-kick, the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Niu Han United lost the two-legged League Cup match with Tranmere Rovers 7-5, and Niu Han United unfortunately collapsed in the second round of the League Cup.

……

Four days apart, Niu Han United ushered in another League One game at their home stadium, which was Niu Han United home against Stoke City.

Although, Stoke City Football Club, which is also the second oldest football club in England, is only a year younger than Nodsshire. Nods County was founded in 1862 and Stoke City was founded in 1863.

Of course, in England, these oldest football clubs, whether now or in the future, seem to be mixed up badly in the memory of the second, and the current Stoke City football is not very strong now.

It is estimated that the best mix is the Nottingham Forest football team, which is also down now.

In any case, the Nottingham Forest football team, founded in 1865, is one of the oldest clubs in England.

However, Stoke City's strength is limited, and the Niu Han United team beat Stoke City 3:0.

After Niu Han United won a game, so far, Niu Han United in the 1992/93 League One new season, that is 9 games and 9 wins, England League One clubs are waiting for Niu Han United to make mistakes, to see who can pick up this dry self.

……

The League One schedule is intensive, and just six days after the end of this game, the club must travel to Southend's Greyhound Park Fire Stadium.

Some of the main players of the Niu Han United team have played three high-intensity League One games in a row, although the players of the Niu Han United team are full of ambition to go to challenge Southend, but Redknapp has rotated some of the team's main players according to the advice of the team doctor.

As a starter in this game, II was quite excited and happy.

Southend United is a club that is Stan. Collymore's football team, which he played for last season, is his old club.

The reason why Southend United dared to sell striker Stan. Collymore, that's because they don't have a shortage of people up front.

Compare Stan. Collymore, 1.94 meters of Breitmark, 1.91 meters of Andrew. Robert. Sussex and attacking midfielder 1.8m Stephen Brian are in their prime and are well matched with the standard twin-tower tactics.

Therefore, Stan Collymore, who is 1.88 tall, is actually from Crystal Palace to Southend, and he can only be regarded as a young player in the main rotation, not an indispensable person in their team.

……

On the afternoon of October 16, 1993, at 14:30 GMT. The match between the Niu Han United team and the away game against Southend United started with a whistle from the referee.

Southend United striker Breitmark kicked the ball back into his second half, at which point the Niuhan United players instantly dispersed as the ball kicked in.

The formation of Niu Han United in this game is clear at a glance.

4132。 Goalkeeper David James, the back four are Cafu, Melville, Matt Elilo, Mitch Lewis, Dunga at the back, attacking central defender Chris Allen, left midfielder Qin Long, attacking forward Rivaldo, striker Stan. Collymore, Dennin, dummy right flank, let Cafu have a dragon.

However, Southend's style of play is typical of England's high-flying attacking pattern.

The nickname of the Southend United team is Prawns.

The team plays exactly like his nickname.

Prawn play, that is, the ball is taken from the back court and sent to the front court, and the two tall forwards of the Southend United team are coaxed, impacted and attacked in the front court.

Losing possession of the ball, the whole team huddled together again, leaving two shrimp front feet in front of them.

……

The style of play of the Southend United team is so simple, but you really don't say it, the two tall center forwards of the Southend United team, 1.94 meters Breitmark, 1.91 meters Andre. Robert. Sussex, this height is really not something that a bunch of teams can have.

The two of them, in the penalty area of Niu Han United, are like two lighthouses, shining on the Niu Han United penalty area, and also pointing out the direction of attack for the pass players of Southend.

In fact, Niu Hanlian has really not encountered such a simple and rough style of play so far.

In England, there are very few teams that play high.

But the general team, that is at least the side of the ball, the center of the center as the fulcrum, can score the best, can not score, after protecting the ball pass, there are two wings flying together, the meaning of the middle follow-up is in it.

However, this is not the case with Southend, they are simpler, often at the back, they pray, and then they make a long pass into the box, directly to the strikers, and the two forwards of the team perform.

Although, Redknapp repeatedly emphasized this point in pre-match training and in tactical guidance.

II didn't believe it at the time, a League One club, just do it, that tactic is too simple!

Now judging from the game on the field, the prawns of Southender United really live up to their reputation.

Perhaps it is because of the success of the people that Southender United have the twin towers of players, and their skills and tactics do not need to be complicated to be successful.

……

Sure enough, after the opening of the game, less than three minutes later, Niu Hanlian conceded the goal.

Southend United's central defender David Edwards picked up the ball at the back, faced the wolf-like Niu Han United player, and sent the ball to midfielder Stephen Smith who came back to receive the ball with a pass. Brian's feet.

Rivaldo on the grab, Stephen. Brian didn't entangle with Rivaldo at all, and directly kicked the football into the Niu Han United penalty area.

This kick pass, let's say coquettish, really has no technical content. Stephen. Brian's kick is powerful, and the ball flies high and fast.

Accuracy, that's really hard to say.

However, by Stephen. After Brian's kick ball flew some distance in the air, everyone knew that the ball would fall into the Niuhan United penalty area.

However, the ball flew past the interception of the Niu Han United midfield.

Southend United's center forward Breitmark watched the ball land as he ran, and Matt Airillo followed Breitmark's side, like a shadow!

At this time, the ball fell quickly, and two tall figures rose from the ground in the Niu Han United penalty area, which were Southend United's center forward Breitmark and Niu Han United central defender Matt Ereillo.

Two tall talents over 1.9m collided in the air, and Breitmark took advantage of the first step to squeeze Matt Elliello around him.

Matt Elillo stared at Breitmark to prevent him from heading home.

However, unexpectedly, Breitmark did not choose the angle and hit the goal with a header, but instead lifted the ball with his head and passed it to the other side of the small penalty area.

There's also a great man there.

Andrew. Robert. Sussex seemed to have anticipated Breitmark's pass, and also came to a dry field to beat Melville, and with the advantage of height and striker frontal attack, he smashed the ball into the goal.

The striker who was not fancy at all relayed in the air, hit the goal with a header, and Cafu, who was chasing over, looked at Melville, the central defender of Niu Hanlian who was blushing and thick-necked, and smiled bitterly!

David James's tall frame moved quickly from one side of the goal to the other like a wall, but it was too late, and the ball flew over his head into the net and then jumped in the net behind him.

This, that was Southend's signature goal, this prawn style of play really opened the eyes of the second on the field, simplicity is not simple!

Southender United took the lead after three minutes.

The Southend United fans at the Fire Stadium in Greyhound Park were thunderous with cheers, while the fans of Niu Han United who came with the team were stunned.

Niu Han United has never conceded a goal at the beginning of the new season.

……

In fact, this ball, this really can't be blamed on anyone, goalkeeper David James, Matt Ereillo, the two of them have defended the first point.

Southend's centre-forward Breitmark grabbed the ball but didn't dare to head it in the slightest, only to be forced to reel the ball in the air.

What about Melville?

He is also eyeing Southend's centre-forward Andrew. Robert. Sussex, but the elevation and physical advantage are not there, Melville can only look at the ball and sigh!

Melville has no way to break this air relay unless it is fouled.

But this ball and Southend's center forward are in the Bullsender United penalty area, can Melville foul?

If you expect the referee to be soft-hearted, then Melville can only say that he can't become the main central defender of Niu Han League.

Because, if Melville really does this, not only will he give Sender United a penalty, but he may also get a red card, then he will lose his wife and lose his soldiers.

The midfielders of Niu Han United are Dunga and Chris Allen, and the two stepped forward to defend, even Rivaldo of the Niu Han United team did not dare to run rampant in front of them.

However, the ball flew over the two of them, as if watching a fighter jet fly overhead with a bomb, knowing that they were going to bomb their own defenses, but they were holding a pistol, so what was the point?

The strongest point of the Niu Han United team, the back iron gate Dunga, he can only watch the football fly over his head like an alien, looking at the ball and sighing.

Perhaps, Dunga regretted very much that he had not grown three or four times taller, why was he not a prehistoric giant human?

Otherwise, there was really no way for him to stop the ball from flying through the sky, and the iron gate would fail here.

Dunga, at first glance, still has to retreat a little, hand over the possession of the midfield to Chris Allen, and help the Niu Han United defenders strengthen the team's defense.

Cafu, the madman who can't run on the right side of Niu Han United, retreated from the midfield, and soared all the way, and the final result was to watch the ball jump in the goal of Niu Han United.

Left-back Mitch Lewis hasn't returned?

Who would have thought that Niu Hanlian would concede a goal within three minutes of the start of the game. (To be continued.) )
