1.024 is simple and crude
The next game in the FA Cup is against Bradford City in the Championship, who have gone nine games without a win and are now 22nd in the league and are struggling in the relegation zone. But Li Chengfeng won't pity them, just in time to give himself points.
But the game didn't go as smoothly as Lee thought, and Bradford faced Sheffield Wednesday, a League One side, even at their home turf, and they played defensively, which surprised Lee Chengfeng.
Defending against a League One team? What about your dignity as a Championship team? Seeing that there was not enough space to sprint, Bratten, Belion and Cherci and others, Lee Seung-peak felt that a team like Bradford should be relegated, and he didn't even have a little heart, and he could still count on any good results.
However, the opponent's right-back Simon Francis made Lee Seungfeng's eyes shine. Although his current ability is only at the level of an ordinary Championship player, he has a lot of potential, and there is absolutely no problem in developing well in the Premier League, and he has a balanced set of attributes, no flaws, and he is still a versatile defender, who can play in the middle and right positions of defenders and midfielders.
This kind of player is what Li Chengfeng wants very much, he has also checked this player before, in the real world, he has always played for the English League One Championship level team, Li Chengfeng thought that his potential was limited, and now it seems that maybe it is because of the lack of opportunities.
However, Li Chengfeng is not yet able to buy him, one is the issue of transfer fees, and the other is that Bradford is fighting for relegation, and they will not sell their main players, unless they wait until they are confirmed to be relegated, Li Chengfeng will have a chance. In the real world, Francis also moved to Sheffield United this season, the same Sheffield Wednesday city rivals. Li Chengfeng just needs to wait now. Next season, the two teams are afraid that they will compete in the same league, and Li Chengfeng is very willing to have the opportunity to weaken each other in advance and strengthen himself.
The final result of the match was a 1-0 win for Sheffield Wednesday. Although Bradford work hard, it is impossible to win by blindly defending, as long as they continue to put enough pressure on them, the collapse of their defense is predictable, after all, they are not top players, their ability and form cannot last the whole game.
Next up is a three-place team at home to Queens Park Rangers (Q.P.R), a team with a tough and tough style of play. In the real world, this team also fought in a friendly match with the Chinese Olympic team, defeating the national Olympic players. However, this is Sheffield Wednesday's home stadium, and it is not their turn to play prestige, Li Chengfeng decided to send the main force to play, on the one hand, the strength of the opponent is strong, on the other hand, there are also reasons for the National Olympic team to see the opponent unhappy.
Sheffield Wednesday kicked off the attack, half a season of run-in made the players more and more tacit, technically compared to the Queens Park Rangers these muscular men are also much better, Sheffield Wednesday players in front of the opponent's penalty area skillfully do the pass and cut coordination, patiently pull the Queens Park Rangers defense, ready to wait for the opportunity to give them a fatal blow.
The Queens Park Rangers players were reluctant to let their Sheffield Wednesday players be so arrogant, and in their view, this was a serious provocation that must be fired back. They were decisive for a foul and brought down Ederson with the ball. That's their style of play, tough and brutal, and their skillful use of this way of walking on the verge of taking cards to disrupt the opponent's attack is a real headache for the opponent, and they are now fourth in the league table.
But Sheffield Wednesday are no other team and they have a way of responding. Guarin's free-kick shot was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper, and the reflexive Pelion rushed to the landing spot before the others, and it was a shot that slashed through a white light and passed the goalkeeper who fell to the ground and into the goal. Just over two minutes into the game, Sheffield Wednesday took the lead.
Unlike other League One teams, Sheffield Wednesday have a good free-kick player, and Lee Seungfeng also deliberately increased set-piece training in the days leading up to the game in response to Queens Park Rangers' tendency to foul play, and it has paid off.
Now that it's Queens Park Rangers' turn to feel the headache, with the score down and their attacking style of play being restrained by the presence of a free-kick master like Guarin, what should they do?
They have no choice but to step up their attack, and now they are only one goal behind, and there is still hope of an equaliser in attack, even if they know that Sheffield Wednesday are good at defending and counter-attacking, they can only bite the bullet. For Sheffield Wednesday's counterattack, they chose the strategy of actively fouling as soon as they conceded the ball to slow down Sheffield Wednesday's counterattack. It's also a very common way to prevent counter-attacks, and Sheffield Wednesday have already had a way to deal with it. They sped up the speed of counter-attacking and drove forward with a big foot when they got the ball, anyway, there were two fast horses in front of them, Belion and Braten, so they didn't have to worry about not receiving the ball.
Such a simple and rough style of play was a big headache for the Queens Park Rangers, and after being beaten on the counter-attack twice, although they did not concede a goal, they still obediently left enough manpower at the back, which also greatly reduced their attacking intensity and could not pose a real threat to the Sheffield Wednesday team's goal.
Towards the end of the first half, Sheffield Wednesday won a corner. Perhaps it was the Queens Park Rangers players who wanted to take advantage of the last moment to get the ball and attack, and their defence was leaky, Ederson rushed in from outside the box and scrambled to shoot into the net, and the score became 2-0.
Perhaps resigned to fate, Queens Park Rangers played much more normally in the second half, without the aggressive momentum of wanting to equalize. Li Chengfeng is not too much for himself, since the other party has surrendered, there is no need to kill them all, in case he annoys the other party, it is not good to let his players get injured, they are some barbarians, they can't do it, the league is still long.
In this way, Sheffield Wednesday won 2-0 at home to Queens Park Rangers.
The opponent in the next game, Swindon, was deep in the relegation zone and had a sloppy defense, conceding more than 50 goals halfway through the league. In the face of such an opponent, Lee Seung-peak decisively adopted a rotation, so that the physically tired Guarin and Ederson could recover well.
Even though the team was missing two key players, after a few games of rest, the relentless Cherch broke out and scored a hat-trick to give Sheffield Wednesday a comfortable 3-0 win over Swinton. After a three-game winless run, Sheffield Wednesday have won four in a row and come out of the doldrums.
Sheffield Wednesday won 3-2 away at Luton and 2-0 away at Plymouth, continuing their winning streak, Lee Seung-bong insisted on the team's rotation, but there was still an injury, Antonini twisted his foot in the game against Plymouth, the injury was not serious, but the absence of the next game is certain.
The next match is the English League Cup, which Lee attaches great importance to, away to English One side Chesterfield, if they can win, the opponent will be the winner of the two League Two teams, and the two sides will play two legs to determine the winner of the Northern Division of the English League Cup, and the winner of the Southern Division to compete for the title. Li Chengfeng doesn't want to give up such a good opportunity to score points, no matter what, this game must be won.
With the exception of the injured Antonini, Lee Seung-peak sent all his main forces, with Haslam partnering Cahill at the back to reassure him, and the midfield position with veteran Masto and Guarin.
Rao was so well prepared that Sheffield Wednesday were still the first to be scored by Chesterfield. In the 25th minute, Chesterfield striker Forlan burst into the box, but Cesaré and Cahill combined to block his shot and push him towards the line. At this time, the angle of Forlan's shot was already very small, and there were also three blockings from Cesarey, Cahill and Schmeichel Jr. between the goal, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance to break the goal, and it is a normal choice to pass the ball to others.
But there are times when many things don't make sense, such as Forlan's seemingly desperate shot, which actually dodged the defense of three people and flew into the goal from the only gap, from the head of Schmeichel Jr.
The calm Li Chengfeng couldn't help but jump up on the sidelines, spun around in the air and landed on the ground, and let out a long breath, it was really unpleasant to be scored by this kind of fairy ball. But he didn't lose confidence, Sheffield Wednesday had the absolute upper hand on the pitch, and it was still early in the day, and Lee was confident that his side would be able to get the final victory.
In stoppage time of the first half, the score on the field was still 1-0 down with Sheffield Wednesday. At this time, Sheffield Wednesday's players were still confidently controlling the ball at the edge of the Chesterfield penalty area, patiently looking for opportunities and not panicking. This kind of self-confidence comes from the accumulation of so many victories, from the confidence in their own strength, and this self-confidence also makes them stronger and able to win more games.
It was Guarin again, after receiving a pass from Evans on the wing at the edge of the penalty area, it was a powerful long-range shot, only to see the ball cut through a rapid white light and hung straight into the dead corner of the goal. This season, Guarin has changed the game on a number of occasions with his long-range shots and free-kicks, contributing to Sheffield Wednesday's current standings.
Sheffield Wednesday equalised and went into the break. In the dressing room at half-time, Lee Seung-bong praised the team's performance and encouraged the players to keep up the work and win the game, "Everyone performed very well in the first half, and we continued to play like this in the second half. That goal was just an accident, and he couldn't score a single one of ten more kicks.
"On the pitch, we still have to rely on strength to decide the winner, we are a stronger team, and the victory must be ours."
