Chapter 46: The Story of Cheng Ye Xiao He
In the first game of the new season, Niuhan United played Portsmouth at home, on August 14, 1993. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the three main foreign aid players of the Niu Han United team, the Brazilian Gang of Three, are in full swing in Brazil to play the United States World Cup qualifiers.
Because, one match of the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil is on August 15, or away, and the Brazilian national team challenges the Uruguayan national team, a powerhouse in the Americas.
If so, none of the three Brazilians will be able to come back.
Of course, this situation is also considered by the coaching staff of Niu Han League.
In terms of the competitiveness of Niu Han League's football, as Lao Lei said: "The Niu Han United team needs three Brazilian foreign aids, but it definitely does not rely on three Brazilian foreign aids." ”
This is really what Lao Lei said!
Lao Lei, now in Niu Hanlian, for a period of time, he is really getting more and more confident!
Now, Lao Lei began to speak solemnly!
……
Of course, although Lao Lei's tone was hard, in fact, on the night of the first three days of this game, Lao Lei spread the heroic spectrum.
The head coach of the Niu Han United team, Harry. Redclapp called a meeting of all members of the team's athletic department to determine the tactical set-up and starting line-up for the first game.
II participated in this important pre-match meeting.
This is not Lao Lei giving face to the second, nor is it a slap on the back of the team owner.
In fact, II has already been excluded from the list of starters.
Originally, Redclapp had just arrived at Niu Han United, and he was afraid that the team he coached would have such a ball bully, and his head coach authority would be affected.
However, after more than two months of getting along, Redcrapp is really relieved.
First of all, there is no doubt about the positive role played by II in the team.
Negative effects?
Except for the second control of the Niu Han United Club, which does not let go of the transfer power, there is really nothing else to say.
However, Lao Lei also admired the introduction of the second.
England's domestic players, the old Rena, are like a few treasures. But abroad, it is estimated that it is those famous stars.
But even if the old thunder comes out, it really may not be able to be introduced.
You see, the team needed a knife at the beginning, but when the second came out, he brought Guan Gong's Qinglong Yanyue Knife.
Rivaldo, can Old Ray handle it?
So the transfer power is not in hand, and Lao Lei is not depressed.
Because now my salary is the embodiment of my own value, not to mention the tiring transfer, that gray income is not worth it.
And before and after others, the second still respects Lao Lei very much.
So, now Lao Lei is confident but not arrogant, he has also learned to brainstorm, and in the end he has made the final decision.
This time, the team's pre-game tactical preparation meeting was the first game that must be won, and he spread the heroic spectrum widely and invited heroes from all walks of life to participate.
II's current performance, especially in tactics, still has a certain talent, and his attainments can't be said, but there are really a lot of good ideas.
Heroic genealogy, that's to be sent to II!
Moreover, although II is not the captain of the team, who can compare to him in the authority in the team locker room.
Even if the second is an incompetent player, as long as he goes there and becomes a mascot, it is a deaf and dumb man, but he is domineering.
This is what Lao Lei said in his heart, if the second knew about it, he would definitely fire Lao Lei.
But the second didn't know it, so he came to the conference room with great interest.
……
The pre-match tactical analysis meeting was chaired by head coach Redclapp.
After the start of the meeting, the scouting department of the Oxford United team first sorted out and reported on the opponent of Oxford United's team in this competition, Portsmouth Club.
The scouting department of Niu Han United is not only responsible for finding talented players who are suitable for the team and participating in the transfer process, but also an important task is to collect information about the opponent in the game and submit it to the coaching staff or report directly to the coaching staff in the pre-match tactical meeting for reference.
II didn't see this material in advance, like this kind of information from the pre-war tactical analysis meeting or the special information submitted by the team, II didn't have time to read it, and basically it was directly responsible for Paul, the head of the scouting department.
Paul put down the materials in his hand, walked to the front desk, stood in front of a large whiteboard with information about the Portsmouth team, took a marker, and began to give a detailed introduction to the past and present situation of Portsmouth.
Paul's booming baritone voice rang out in the conference room.
……
Portsmouth FC has recovered in the past two years.
Especially since the 1991/92 season, that's Jim. Mr Smith began his time as head coach at Portsmouth.
From this point on, the results of the Portsmouth team were rising.
Just last season, Portsmouth had their club's best result in recent years, finishing third in League One and narrowly missing promotion to the Premier League.
What makes Portsmouth Club so successful?
First of all, the Portsmouth team began to develop in the 1991/92 season, when a group of young and talented footballers emerged from their team's football academy. Mr Smith was hired by the Portsmouth team.
In Jim. As soon as Mr. Smith took over, he used this group of players as his team, and after his careful training, in the 1991/92 season, the Portsmouth team won the team in Jim. Under the leadership of coach Smith, he went all the way to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup that year.
In the FA Cup quarter-finals, Portsmouth met Liverpool, an English football giant.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the Portsmouth team drew 1-1 with Liverpool in the main game.
Replay, Portsmouth 1:1 Liverpool.
There were no goals in extra time, penalties, and Portsmouth lost 3-1.
This is Jim. Coach Smith's first season at Portsmouth.
By the 1992/93 season, head coach Jim Brown. In order to strengthen the team, Smith gritted his teeth and wanted to bring in striker Paul from Tottenham Hotspur. Walsh.
At that time, Paul. Walsh is not willing to move to Portsmouth. Because Tottenham Hotspur is a Premier League team and Portsmouth is a League One team, although Tottenham Hotspur agreed, but Paul. Washh was reluctant to succumb to League One Portsmouth.
That's when Jim. Coach Smith, at this time, is a bit like our boss, Mr. Qin, to Paul. Walsh builds houses and gives high wages.
As he spoke, he glanced at the second person present. Everyone will laugh heartily.
Lao Lei here has a deep understanding.
Lao Lei was dazzled by the 300,000 pounds of the second at that time, and was fooled into saying that Niu Hanlian came.
Although if he does not go to Niu Han United, it is estimated that he will take over as the head coach of West Ham United in a few years. But if Lao Lei is still in West Ham, then he is still a spare tire, and he will not have the scenery he has today.
So Redcrapp laughed out loud.
II was embarrassed, but laughed proudly.
……
In fact, the Portsmouth club had no money at the time.
To bring in Paul. Walsh, no money, that's red mouth and white teeth.
Paul. Can Walsh join Portsmouth?
In other words, Coach Smith has this mind, but he does not have the financial strength of our Niu Han United owner.
So what to do?
Coach Smith thought of a note and borrowed money.
How to borrow?
Coach Smith borrowed money from the club's president, Gregory.
However, the Portsmouth club is not the chairman of Gregory alone, so in Jim. Under the persuasion of Mr. Smith, the club's president, Gregory, also wanted to improve the team's results, so he agreed to lend money to Coach Smith privately.
In this way, Tottenham Hotspur striker Paul. Walsh was Jim. Mr Smith took it to Portsmouth.
……
However, there are many good things.
The Portsmouth team brought in this striker Paul. Walsh, with a bit of a strange personality.
After he joined the Portsmouth team, he found that the Portsmouth team's players' nutritious meals were not palatable, unscientific, and perhaps unaccustomed.
So, Paul. Walsh, he himself experimented with a recipe that he himself thought was scientific.
In fact, his recipe is very simple, it is usually a baby food that is fed to small children.
Paul. Walsh believes that this kind of baby food, if a child eats it, can grow taller, grow faster, and grow stronger.
Wouldn't it be better if I ate it?
As a result, the bad dish is gone!
If Paul. Walsh eats this baby meal as a snack, and that's not a problem at all.
But, Paul. That's not what Walsh does, he treats this baby food as a staple food and doesn't eat anything else.
You, an adult, a professional soccer player, treat baby meals as your staple food, and the result, self-evidently, is not nutritious.
So, Paul. Washh had just joined the team and had his body knocked out.
Paul. Walsh finally came to his senses, and with the help of doctors, he recuperated for more than a month before he regained his health.
Fortunately, although this matter has been twists and turns, Jim. The offensive fantasy quartet that Coach Smith was looking forward to is finally taking shape.
……
Portsmouth's attacking fantasy quartet last season was the main striker Guy Murphy. Whittingham and Paul. Walsh, the main right winger Mark. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and the main midfield playmaker Alain. McCrolin.
Last season, in 1992/93, in League One, Portsmouth's attacking fantasy foursome did take a whirlwind of attack.
Especially the main striker in this fantasy quartet, Guy . Whittingham, do you know how many goals he has scored in his 48 games for Portsmouth?
Oh my God! That's 42 of them!
Guy. Whittingham also became League One's top scorer in 1992/93.
It's fair to say that Portsmouth had a brilliant season last season.
However, at the end of the season, the results for the Portsmouth team were brutal.
At the end of last season, both Portsmouth and West Ham United had 46 points, but Portsmouth scored one fewer goals than West Ham.
Just one goal less, Portsmouth is third, followed by West Ham United.
This means that Portsmouth will cede a promotion to West Ham United because of one less goal.
After Portsmouth lost their direct qualification to the Premier League because they scored one less goal than West Ham United, the humiliating, brutal truth led to an unthinkable thing.
……
That great Portsmouth striker Guy Murphy. Whittinghamley, I feel very guilty that the team did not directly upgrade!
He believes that he is the main striker of the team, scoring so many goals and becoming the top scorer of the season, glory!
However, because the team they play for is one less goal than the West Ham United team, the Portsmouth team cannot directly qualify.
That's his responsibility as one of the leading goalscorers for Portsmouth!
Guy. Whittinghamley, as a Portsmouth academy player, is so guilty, beyond reproach, and deserves to be commended!
But what is even more surprising is that Guy. Whittinghamley's aftermath.
……
In other words, if you feel guilty, you can feel guilty, and you can play a good game in the promotion play-offs later.
It is not without the possibility of promotion to the Premier League that the Portsmouth side is out of the question.
However, Portsmouth's great striker Guy Murphy. Whittinghamler, I don't know what he thinks, actually punished himself, and it was corporal punishment.
Guy. Whittinghamley was on his knees in the pitch of the Portsmouth team, and there he was, on his knees for a day and a night.
Everyone should know the final outcome of the matter.
Portsmouth failed in the play-off semi-final against Leicester City and the team fell in front of penalties once again.
Guy. Whittinghamley also failed to score due to his poor form.
But there's no denying that Portsmouth has improved significantly and was a success last season.
At this point, Paul rested for a while and began to drink water, and the conference room fell silent for a while!
II listened very excitedly, and felt very enjoyable.
But, Lao Lei is not presiding over a tactical seminar?
How does it sound like a story? (To be continued.) )
