1.018 before the Derby

Although the game was won, Kuchi's performance also made Lee Chengfeng look forward to Cerchi's performance even more, and he really couldn't stand Kuqi's super ghost performance. Kutch's post-game rating in this game is only 4 points, and this is not the first time he has had such a clumsy performance, in the 12 games he played as the main force, one-third of the post-game ratings were failing, if it weren't for the lack of other candidates, Li Chengfeng would have beaten him to the reserve team, but his salary is still very high, as high as 8,000 pounds per week, which is 8 times that of Li Chengfeng, but it is such a performance, it is difficult to transfer out for free.

However, there is still a need to add a midfielder or centre-back to the team, although Cahill has been loaned from Newcastle, but due to the departure of Quinn, the problem of the lack of personnel in the team's midfield has not been solved, once there is an injury, the strength of the team will be greatly reduced, and the existing substitutes do not even have the strength to establish themselves in League One. It's just that this candidate is difficult to find, and he doesn't want to come, and he can't look down on those who are willing to come, so he finally found a Gary Cahill. I can only look at it again, Li Chengfeng has no good way, the game database is so huge, and there is a big difference between reality and games, it is really difficult to find players who are also strong in the real world among the massive players in this game database.

Until the start of the next game, Li Chengfeng failed to find a suitable candidate, some strong characters in the game, such as Liverpool's defender John Wales, and the super-first-class defender, "Pharaoh" De La Cousta, failed to make a name for themselves in reality, and could only eat in the lower leagues, and Li Chengfeng did not dare to bet on them.

The next game is the EFL Cup, with teams at League One and below, including amateur teams, with Sheffield Wednesday already one of the highest-ranking teams in the league. This cup is also something that Li Chengfeng attaches great importance to, not because of how high the honor is, but because of the opportunity to brush points on weak opponents.

The opponent of this game is the amateur team Morecambe, for such an opponent, Li Chengfeng boldly rotated, in addition to the backline, other positions have been used substitute players, the side double fast and the core of the midfield are sitting on the bench, the schedule is still very long, Li Chengfeng does not want to waste the physical strength of the players on such a team. Up front, new signing Cherci was sent in to familiarise him with the style of English football and to see what he was like.

Cerci, who shot as high as 19, did not disappoint Lee Chengfeng, and soon after the opening, he broke through with the ball; The opponent's amateur-level defense, with a near-zero angle, shot the ball into the goal from the opponent's goalkeeper's armpit, and the score became 1:0.

Seeing this goal, Li Chengfeng felt tears in his eyes, this is the shooting skill that a striker should have, compared to Kuqi's repeated wasted opportunities, Li Chengfeng felt that the road ahead was bright. Originally, Li Chengfeng was still hesitant, he and Belion, who plays winger and who plays center, now it seems that with this shooting technique, he should also be allowed to play the center position. Although in the real world, Cherch later played the position of winger, but he was still young, Li Chengfeng felt that he might be able to train him to be a qualified center, but he was a little shorter, and he suffered a little in the battle for headers, and he didn't know if he could grow taller. Then there seems to be a problem with his vision, basically the ball is at his feet, and in the end it is either a shot or a breakthrough is broken, only when he is forced into a desperate situation will he think of passing, this may be because he is new to the scene, and the cooperation with his teammates is not tacit enough, Li Chengfeng comforted himself like this, and it will be fine in the future.

Even if the score is behind, the Morecambe team did not think about counterattacking, they still focused on defense, which is not surprising, after all, the strength of the two sides is very different, and they don't want to lose too ugly, but the game still depends on the strength after all, and the effort is not necessarily useful.

In the second half, it was Cerci again, with one pass and one shot, helping the team to win 3-0. Well, that assist was a follow-up shot from Evans after his shot was saved, not a conscious pass by him. Either way, it's a good start, and Cherch's future looks bright.

Three days later, Sheffield Wednesday hosted Brentford, a team that had the quality to challenge for the promotion play-offs and were not underdogs, but the team's attack was lackluster, with just 10 goals in 12 league games, as many as the teams at the bottom of the table, and that is, they relied on their top-three defence to be at the top of the league. For such a team with no attacking power, Li Chengfeng boldly pressed the team's formation, bombarded the opponent's goal, and took a 4:0 lead in the first half.

Considering that the next game will be a Sheffield derby, Lee Seung-peak replaced the main core players so that they could get plenty of rest. The final score was 4:0, after replacing the main core, in the face of Bradford's solid defense, Sheffield Wednesday failed to continue to score, and Kutche, who was replaced on the field, still wantonly squandered the opportunities created by his teammates, which made Li Chengfeng very dissatisfied.

The next game may be the most important game of the season, the steel derby from Sheffield, a few days before the game, the local media began to exaggerate the tense atmosphere, especially the Sheffield Post and the Today Morning Post, and they spared no effort to stand up for their team. One says Sheffield United is in the Championship, stronger than Sheffield Wednesday in League One, and deserves to win. Another said that Sheffield Wednesday won 13 consecutive games in all competitions, morale is high, and Sheffield United just lost two main players in the last league game, this cup game can not play, the strength is seriously damaged, Sheffield Wednesday is even bigger.

Li Chengfeng didn't want his players to be bothered by the news, so he issued a gag order and came forward to an interview with the Sheffield Post, in which he made his attitude clear: "We will win, and we will let them know that Sheffield belongs to Sheffield Wednesday." ”

"I'm also a Sheffield Wednesday fan and I want the team to win, but they are the top two teams in the Championship after all......," Dorcie kindly reminded Lee.

"There will be no surprises, yes, no surprises." Lee Seung-phong once again stressed that he knows how to please his fans, and that his team players are no less powerful than Sheffield United, and that the opponent has also lost two absolute mainstays in midfield, so if this cannot be won, then how can he be promoted again next year? Therefore, in this derby, Li Chengfeng must win, even if he once again sacrifices the magic weapon of the whole court to force the siege, it is a big deal to give up the next league game.

The game was held at the Bramall Lane Stadium, the home of Sheffield United, the stadium with a capacity of 30,000 people was full, at a glance, everywhere was red and white representing Sheffield United, tens of thousands of fans sang the team's team song "Annie's Song" neatly, the game had not yet started, the atmosphere was very enthusiastic, the sound of "A Glimmer of Light" sung by Sheffield Wednesday fans was completely overshadowed, no matter how loudly they sang, people could not hear clearly.

Inside and outside the stadium, there are police officers everywhere, they are fully armed, looking at the fans with serious expressions, and as long as there is some abnormal performance, they will be called to pay close attention and even question. Since the Heathborough massacre in 1989, the local police have deployed a large number of officers to maintain order in every Sheffield derby, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the past. Yes, Heathbourg, Sheffield Wednesday's home stadium. In the aftermath of that incident, they did not dare to let their guard down, especially after more and more evidence emerged that the South Yorkshire police were negligent and inadequately managed. But the 96 Liverpool fans who died will never wake up again, and to this day, Liverpudlians cannot forgive the dereliction of the police, the bureaucrats who faked the blame on the fans, and the Margaret Thatcher who concealed the competition for political reasons, and the trend of creating fake media The Sun has continued in the local area to this day and will continue to do so in the future.

Before the game went on sale, the tension spread throughout the city. In the away team's lounge, even through the door, Li Chengfeng could hear the noisy singing, many of the players on Sheffield Wednesday were still newcomers, although they all had great ambitions, but it was also the first time to encounter such a big scene, Li Chengfeng could see that their expressions were unnatural, and the locker room was not as happy as before, more depressed than when they had won three league games before, and there was no sound quietly. In contrast, only Bellión's expression was more natural, after all, he was a man who had played at Old Trafford and had seen much bigger scenes.

After the large-scale blood exchange, there are not many old people in the team, and few people can understand the hatred between the two teams, including Lee Seung-bong himself. This is a continuation of more than 100 years of confrontation, a continuation of the confrontation between the two ethnic groups in the city. Among the old men of the team, only Haslam and Gary can still play in this team, but they have not experienced this kind of scene either. Only the veteran captain, goalkeeper Presman, who is about to retire, has had the experience of a steel derby. Li Chengfeng considered whether to let these two players appear in this game to suppress the situation, but Presman, who is a part-time goalkeeper coach, has not played a professional game for a long time, although there is still some strength, but the state of this game can not reassure Li Chengfeng, and in the end he was just given a substitute place, so that he can travel with the team. In addition to the players on loan from Premier League teams such as Belion, the old captain looked calm, and the rest of the young players looked a little nervous and breathing heavily.
