The situation in the second half was still firmly in the hands of Sheffield Wednesday, and Watford, the old fritters of the Championship, were not a tough team, they struggled a few times, and after finding that there was no way, they stopped trying, the league was still long, and they couldn't afford to waste too much energy for such a hopeless game.

Sheffield Wednesday, who got off to a good start, were full of confidence and even though Lee Seungfeng rotated most of their squad for the upcoming Carabao Cup game, they still won 1-0 against a League Two side who didn't even notice the name of the team.

In the second round of the league, Sheffield Wednesday hosted Reading, a team known for their toughness. England's three major teams with a rough style, Fighting Man, Violent Ben and Killer, of which Killer is the Reading team. In the real world, in the 2006 Reading Premier League match against Chelsea, Reading abolished two of Chelsea's goalkeepers in succession, and the title of goalkeeper was notorious. Later, after the seriously injured Cech returned, he always wore a helmet to the game, and never returned to the super level before the injury.

Li Chengfeng attaches great importance to this game, Sheffield Wednesday team is dominated by young players, they are more susceptible to external factors to affect their own performance, and the rough style of Reading is a great test for the young Sheffield Wednesday players, Li Chengfeng has to think more carefully, so that the players have some psychological preparation.

Reading's players moved big, their midfielder Sidwell opened the game with Ederson who was advancing with the ball, and when the referee's whistle blew, the Reading midfielder did not immediately retreat, but condescendingly, glaring fiercely at Ederson lying on the ground, trying to make him afraid.

Ederson, who had been mentally prepared, didn't say much, just complained to the referee and stepped aside. This is also what Li Chengfeng has confessed, he must express his dissatisfaction to the referee more, this is his home stadium, so that the referee will control the behavior of the Reading team more.

Sheffield Wednesday's free-kick, this position is far from the goal, more than 40 meters, and Reading also knows that Sheffield Wednesday's set-piece is good, and pays attention to the position of the foul. Guardiola and Guarin stood in front of the ball, and Guardiola whispered: "The opponent's momentum is very strong, and we must respond." This position is also within your range, give them a dismount and let them know that we are not easy to bully either. ”

Guarin listened very carefully, and Pep Guardiola was also his idol, how rare it was to be able to fight alongside such a senior and accept his words and deeds. Guarin also cherishes this opportunity very much, both in training and life, he is actively learning from Guardiola's experience and advantages, and Guardiola is also happy to guide this junior, as if to enter the state of coach in advance.

Guarin's direct free-kick went around the wall and towards the goal, with great speed, but the long flight gave the Reading goalkeeper enough time to react and he saved the ball. The power of the ball was so great that he couldn't grasp it the first time, and the ball hit his hand and bounced to the ground, slowing down the force before he was held in his arms.

Although they did not concede a goal, it also gave Reading a twelve-point spirit, and made them realize that Sheffield Wednesday is no ordinary promoted horse, and the opponent has the ability and determination to face them head-on.

Reading have a tough style, which allows them to grab a lot of chances, but the overall quality of their players is very ordinary, and the strongest Sidwell is only the level of ordinary Championship players, he is an Arsenal academy player, and it is because of his lack of ability that he left Arsenal to come to the Championship to look for opportunities. Later, he joined the giants Chelsea, but he barely got a chance to play, so he had to leave again and join Aston Villa. However, he did not get a solid place in the main team there, and it was not until he joined the Premier League underdog Fulham that he became the main player, but in the real world, even last season, Fulham was relegated.

Such a mediocre team can only rely on a tough or even brutal style of play to gain a place in the league, but as long as the opponent is not afraid of their style of play and the referee does not let them move, then they have nothing to fear.

For this game, Lee Seung-peak also sent Derrick and Holt, who are more adapted to the style of English football, instead of Antonini and Ribery, who are at risk of injury, also to guard against the elimination of the goalkeeper, and at the same time to be tougher and more powerful on the field.

After failing to hold down Sheffield Wednesday in terms of momentum, Reading's technical disadvantage became more and more apparent. With Pep Guardiola's midfield played, Sheffield Wednesday gradually kept Reading at bay. Reading tried to keep Pep Guardiola's organisation under control, but the experienced Guardiola was not at his peak physically, but he was more skilled in technique and awareness, and he was quick to get the ball into place before his players tried to press him with their bodies. Even if he sends someone to flank him, he has Guarin by his side to help him. Guarin in the Championship can also be regarded as an offensive and defensive player, and younger, better physical strength, although still lack some experience, but the impact is better, the Reading team's 4-man midfield is at a disadvantage, this pinch, there are more holes.

In the 35th minute, Sheffield Wednesday broke the ball in midfield, Guardiola received a pass from Caldwell, turned around and saw the opponent's midfielder Harpa rushing towards him, he was not flustered, passed the ball to Guarin more than 10 meters away, and then bypassed the rushing Harpa, and again received Guarin's return pass and advanced with the ball. Reading's Sidwell hurriedly pressed up, stopped in front of Guardiola, trying to slow down his advance, behind him, Harpa is quickly returning to the defense, Guardiola is 33 years old after all, he is not known for his physical speed is even slower, even if he wants to break through, it is difficult to get rid of the defenders in front.

But no matter how much you run, you can't get faster than the ball, and Pep Guardiola saw the gap in Sidwell's fill and distributed the ball to Bellion on the right. Belion used his speed to break through the full-backs' defences, attract the attention of the centre-backs and play the ball to the top of the box. At this time, the opposing team's other centre-back was busy scrambling for a place with Sheffield Wednesday's centre-forward Holt, while Sidwell also focused on Pep Guardiola, but missed Sheffield Wednesday's striker Ederson.

Ederson, who was inserted, received the ball at the top of the penalty area, got up directly, and the ball crossed an arc and flew into the Reading goal, 1-0, Sheffield Wednesday took the lead.

Reading were more aggressive in their fight to find an equaliser before the break, but there was not much they could do against a defence-focused Sheffield Wednesday side, who lacked the kind of players who could change the pitch on their own, and even if they got the ball, it was difficult to break through the tight Sheffield Wednesday defence, and it was difficult to find a way to shoot from distance against the dense defenders in the box. Reading's players reluctantly tried a few long-range shots, but they didn't pose much of a threat, and long-range shots are not something that anyone can master.

Reading suffered another blow before half-time, and before half-time, Sheffield Wednesday won a corner kick with a header from Reading's defender to make it 2-0 and Lee Seung-peak was one step closer to his first Championship victory. He applauded and looked at Holt, who was running on the court to celebrate, and sighed in his heart, those who work hard will still be favored by God after all.

Holt is also a legend, from a player who was unable to secure a place in England's sixth tier to captain a Premier League team, and he has played in six leagues in England, which is also a record.

He joined Sheffield Wednesday in 2003, and when Lee first saw him, he was already 22 years old and even had some difficulty playing as a substitute in League One. But he worked very hard. Lee Seung-peak saw his potential and gave him a chance.

After a season of improvement, his progress is very obvious, and now he can also play in the Championship, although he can still only play as a substitute, but Li Chengfeng believes that with his level of effort, even if Sheffield Wednesday is promoted to the Premier League and plays in the Europa League, he will have the ability to establish himself in the team by that time. In the real world, he joined Norwich City in League One in 2009 and led them to promotion to the Premier League for two consecutive years with his goal. Even in the Premier League, he was undiminished, scoring 15 goals in his first season in the Premier League.

This is also a person who insists on his dreams, a person who will never give up his dreams no matter what setbacks he encounters, and he is also worthy of respect, which is why Lee Seungfeng gave him the opportunity. He is also faster than his own strength in the real world, he was supposed to play in the League Two this season, he also had the opportunity to play in the Championship, and now he has scored his first goal in the Championship, seeing another player develop better than the real world with his help, Li Chengfeng also feels a point of pride, but will this affect his legend and inspire more players to work hard for their ideals? It's a real dilemma.

But now, can you get up from me first, Li Chengfeng, who was thrown to the ground by Holt, felt a little out of breath. Holt is a traditional British center forward with a strong body, although he is only 1.83 meters, but his weight of nearly 80 kilograms is not something that Lee Seung-feng, a former otaku who lacks exercise, can bear.
