The game restarted, and II always thought that the gap between the substitutes and the main players on his side was too big! It's like being with a member of the youth team. But the second wondered, there is such a disparity in strength between the main team and the substitutes in the first team, this gap is like a trench?

The second can only try, try, and try.

It's just defending one or two people now, and it doesn't seem to be of much use to the team. The second had no choice but to relax his defense against Joey Champo alone, and began to gradually move closer to the central position. The second worked hard to push the entire backline to the left, expanding his defensive area, and began to run all over the field.

At this time, the second began to face the team's No. 10, Chris Allen. Chris Allen has been the team's main player this season, being the team's attacking midfielder, replacing the team's former attacking midfielder Paul. The position of Simpson, Paul. Simpson turned out to be one of the valuable players Oxford United sold to pay off their debts.

Brian. Coach Houghton's hard-earned attacking lineup in the front court was sold to two. One of the team's main center strikers, Martin. Foyle, an attacking midfielder Paul. The Simpsons only sold for £1 million in total.

Center Martin. Foyle's position has not been filled by the right person, but fortunately, attacking midfielder Paul Bush. The Simpsons position, youth player Christopher who came out of the academy. Anthony. Alan was almost able to take his place.

Christopher this year. Anthony. Allen also wore the team's 10 jersey. Born in Oxford in 1972, the 1.81m tall player is also a member of England's Under-21 squad. Whether they can provoke the organisation of Oxford United's attack in the front court still seems to be a bit difficult now.

The second snatched, Chris Allen's breakthrough ability was not strong, and he was stealed by the second. Van Lis receives the ball on the side, and II quickly plugs in. It's a pity that Van Lis didn't pass the ball to II, but to No. 23 Robbie Ford. Robbie Ford, who is a year younger than the second, is also a striker and attacking midfielder, but is not physically strong. In front of the captain, he was forced to grab and lost the ball.

As soon as the captain saw that the captain had grabbed the ball, he turned and ran quickly towards his position. Sure enough, the captain's ball was passed to this position, and the team's other striker, Dave. Penny has fallen into the void left by the II.

Dave. Penny was born in 1964, is 1.78 meters tall, and is an amateur player. At that time, he was playing amateur football while working as a construction worker, and was only discovered by Derby County scouts at the age of 21. Oxford United also relied on Maxwell Sr. to be president of Derby County at the time, and in 1989, it cost £175,000 to poach from the Derby County team.

Dave. Penny saw that the second was coming at a gallop, and after receiving the ball, he was ready to adjust his shot. But halfway through the action, Ni's body had already jumped in front of him, and the ball and the raised foot hit Nishi's thigh. II fell with a choke, Dave. Penny was also brought to the ground in order to contain his strength. The scene was chaotic.

Brian. Coach Houghton and the team doctor arrived together to check on their injuries. Dave. Penny has no problem, the main thing is that he was afraid of kicking and injuring the second, so after regaining his strength, he was taken down by the second.

II's thighs were flushed red and faintly blue. After looking at it, the team doctor thought that there was no major obstacle, and it was enough to apply ice to it. However, it is better not to play this game again to prevent the injury from getting worse.

Brian. Coach Houghton patted II on the shoulder, but said, "Good! ”

The second got off the field, sat down on the side, applied ice to the wound, and began to rest. But II's eyes were fixed on the arena, full of doubts. Why did such an important internal simulation match play so strangely? Even if you put it away, you won't have the slightest enthusiasm!

Perhaps the second brought something different to the players, and the rest of the game turned out to be much more intense than at the beginning. But from the point of view of the second, that was not enough.

After the game, both II and McLaren were both defeated by Brian. Coach Houghton stayed. Coach Houghton told him not to go to the youth team in the future, but to train on the first team. The training mode is the same as that of the youth team, mainly in a separate special training session.

Oxford United's first team and reserve training grounds are together. However, the first team and the reserve team are trained differently and in a different way than the youth team. The training of youth team players is still mainly based on technical and tactical honing, improvement and strengthening. The first team and reserve team football training is mainly to maintain the condition of the players, and physical and mental play a large part. The technical and tactical grinding, improvement and enhancement of the players are a secondary part because they provide immediate combat power to the first team.

However, the second is a special specialty, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the skills and tactics of the current second. It was also due to Mr. Baker's insistence that Oxford United must improve the technical and tactical aspects of football in the second place. Brian. Coach Horton agreed, and Coach Horton understood that the second world has not yet fully developed football skills and tactics. Since the signing of Oxford United by II, Brian United. Coach Houghton began to implement a fast-track football training program for the second. However, II's soccer ability to improve or soccer quotient was out of Brian. Coach Horton was unexpected.

Brian. Coach Houghton's series of football training arrangements for II are also on the right path, and they are also full of protection for the future of II's football.

The reason why now Brian. Coach Houghton wanted to put the second team in the first team training base, and that was when he saw the attitude of the second team when he practiced the game. However, the fact that II took football extremely seriously also gave him a great touch.

There is a big difference between the quality of the main squad and the substitute squad of the Oxford United team, which is also the sadness of the poor club. During the team's intra-squad match, the two sides did not complete the task set by the coaching staff to check the state of the players, let alone simulate the opponent's confrontation.

From the point of view of the head coach and the coaching staff, the bench can be a little less competitive, but it can't be without ambition. For the team's main line-up, the substitutes must have the determination to replace them. However, the current situation of the players in the Oxford United football team is not optimistic. Because the players don't even have the passion to fight for the team's games, and it's not just the substitutes, it's the main players as well, it's perfunctory.

In this way, the substitute is the substitute, and the main force is the main force. Coach Horton also wants to develop a few from the bench, even if it is one or two main substitutes, that would be good. But judging from the intra-team games, the substitute players are indeed a lot worse, not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of attitude.

Coach Houghton and the coaching staff didn't know how much to do, but Oxford United was in a half-dead situation. What do you have Coach Houghton do? It's a clever daughter-in-law, but there is no rice in the pot. Incentives not only require mental combat power, but also material conditions, no money, how can you reward them. Punishment, that's also a way. But in the Oxford United team, there are no penalties, and you have to rely on the main force to fight the field. As for the substitutes, they're all substitutes, what else can you do?

Coach Horton really can't imagine, especially for these chicken substitute players, with such strength and attitude, how can Coach Horton rest assured that these substitute players can complete the replacement of the main substitute players. This creates a vicious circle.

The main team was not under the pressure of rotation, and complained that the game was played too much, too tired, and afraid of injury. The substitutes didn't have the ability or the attitude to replace the main players and they were complaining, they were complaining that the team didn't give them a chance and didn't have a game to play.

But today's intra-team game, because of the arrival of the second, is like a catfish mixed in a school of sardines, and a pool of stagnant water is stirred up. On the field, because of the hard work of the second infecting those players, the final intra-team game had some meaning, and the team appeared a glimmer of light.

Horton categorically decided to leave the second team training base, in order to ensure that the technical and tactical skills of the second team are improved and tempered, so that McClaren entered the first team together and hung the name of assistant coach.
