After the game, Li Chengfeng, who was a little disappointed, complained vaguely about the referee's performance, "I am very satisfied with the team's performance, and I can't ask these lads to do better to draw with the Premier League team away." However, Blackburn's goal should have been fouled first, and Ferguson's assist was clearly overwhelming. ”

Blackburn, who got cheap, obviously won't dwell on this, "The referee made the right judgment, if such a normal confrontation is also a foul, I don't know how many people will be punished in that game." This is England and football is a confrontation of pure masters. ”

Li Chengfeng didn't want to dwell on this issue, in fact, it was beyond his expectations to have such a result. However, he does not want his players to be hit by this defeat, his players are mainly young players, and their performances are easily affected by emotions, and if they have been struggling with this regrettable defeat, it is very likely that they will perform abnormally in the next games.

But Lee doesn't want to lose in his next game, which is the final of the EFL Cup, against League One side Brentford on Wednesday. Although the EFL Cup is just a chicken rib competition, Li Chengfeng still cares about this championship, after all, this is the first championship he has a chance to compete for, and he will definitely go all out.

Before the game, he also made a point of encouragement for the players, "We are very strong, really strong, even the Premier League teams can't beat us. The opponent is just a normal League One team and we are much stronger than them. As long as we can get our attitude right and give it our all, there's no reason why we shouldn't win this game. This is our first title, but it will never be the last. We'll also win League One, Championship and be promoted to the Premier League. This is where we started, but not where we finished, so let's start our glorious journey with this title. ”

This is the benefit of a team with a predominantly young team, they are young, enthusiastic and full of motivation to climb the ladder. Inspired by Lee Seung-feng, they put the defeat in the previous game behind them and went all out to prepare to win the EFL Cup.

Brentford's form this season has not been good, they are currently outside the top 10 in the league table, and there is no hope of promotion, but they are not in danger of relegation, and they are only left with a trophy like the English League Cup to fight for. But although they also take this game seriously, the difference in quality has made them very low-key, and there was a rumor before the game that Sheffield Wednesday are stronger and they will try to play a good game in this game, but Sheffield Wednesday are the stronger team and they deserve to win the title.

Li Chengfeng also thinks so, but he doesn't think Brentford will give up early like this, "Don't believe them, the game has reached this point, they have all reached the final, and no one will give up the chance to win the championship." So don't be careless, think about Manchester City, who lost to us, and are still the laughing stock of England, and if we don't want to be like them, then go all out and win this game. ”

At the beginning of the game, Sheffield Wednesday launched an attack, and Brentford also pragmatically retreated across the board, concentrating on defensive counterattacks, leaving only one striker in front of the court to harass.

Li Chengfeng observed for a while, Brentford's defense was very resolute, even if there was a chance to counterattack, the troops invested were very few, and they were determined to defend to the end. It looked like they wanted to drag the game to penalties. It's no surprise that Sheffield Wednesday have a solid defence, a strong attack and a quick counter-attack, each of which is stronger than Brentford, and relatively speaking, dragging the game to a penalty shoot-out is the best way for them to win.

But Li Chengfeng didn't want them to succeed. Sheffield Wednesday only lost to Blackburn Rovers on penalties a few days ago, and he can't guarantee that these young people under his command have really come out of this shadow, and if they really let Brentford succeed, they are afraid that these young people of his command will really not be able to withstand the pressure of penalties and fail again. This will be a heavy blow to these young talents, and I am afraid that there will be some waves in the next game.

Sheffield Wednesday's coaching staff were prepared for the opposition to take a defensive stance, but they didn't expect them to defend so thoroughly and almost completely give up on counter-attacking, which is a bit tricky.

How to crack the dense defense has always been a global problem, either the team's overall coordination is perfect, like the later Cosmos team Barcelona, tearing apart the opponent's defense with passing, or using the individual ability of the stars to open the gap, like the star-studded Real Madrid.

The Sheffield Wednesday team does not have either of these things, but they also have some experience in breaking down the dense defense, and the strength in the league has made the Sheffield Wednesday team have no shortage of such exercises. According to the pre-match preparations, Sheffield Wednesday strengthened long-range shots and breakthroughs, and fought for set-pieces in dangerous areas, and Sheffield Wednesday was not short of long-range shots and set-pieces.

However, the opponent was clearly prepared, and they were very aware of fouls in dangerous areas, trying to keep the fouls away from the penalty area. And the dense crowd of defenders around the box also seriously blocked the path of Sheffield Wednesday's long-range shots.

The score was 0-0 in the first half, but Lee Seung-peak was not in a hurry, although Sheffield Wednesday was not Real Madrid, nor was it the Dream Team's Barcelona, but Bradford was not Chelsea, Lee Seung-peak did not believe that they could maintain this defensive intensity for the whole game under the pressure of constant siege.

'You did a good job in the first half, you kept going on the offensive in the second half, they didn't last long. At halftime, Li Chengfeng praised the team's performance, and also calmed the players who were a little anxious after a long time of attacking, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to break their goal." They're no longer good and I can't breathe when I see their players coming off the pitch. Just keep the pressure on them, and they'll soon break down. ”

On the other side, Bradford's coach was also cheering on his players, "Hold on, hold on for another forty-five minutes." Their physical strength could not sustain an entire offensive game. As long as we keep going, we have a chance to drag it to penalties. They had just lost a penalty and if we got to it, we would have won the game. ”

One goal, just one ball, one goal can undo all Bradford's hard work. Li Chengfeng stood on the sidelines, looking at the changes on the field with a serious face. They were desperate, but the mistakes started to mount, after all, they were only League One level players.

Seeing that the physical strength of the players who continued to attack was somewhat reduced, Lee Seung-peak made three substitutions in one fell swoop, trying to maintain the continuous pressure on Bradford.

Under constant defensive pressure, Bradford finally made a mistake, and in a set-piece defense, due to focusing too much on Sheffield Wednesday's frontline players such as Braten, Cherch and Ederson, he missed Sheffield Wednesday defender Antonini, allowing him to easily get the ball in the box. Antonini's shooting stats of 18 were even higher than the team's main striker, and he calmly got to his feet and scored against Bradford's goal unmarked.

Seeing this goal, Li Chengfeng was relieved and knew that this game was nine out of ten. Bradford is relying on bus tactics to be able to barely maneuver with the Sheffield Wednesday team, and now that the score is behind, the bus tactics are useless, is it difficult to play against the Sheffield Wednesday team? In terms of attacking power, Sheffield Wednesday can be said to be second to none in League One, and, if you want to attack, you can attack? Sheffield Wednesday went on a rampage for more than 60 minutes and it was time to take a break.

Li Chengfeng calmly commanded the team to play a defensive counterattack, and the Sheffield Wednesday team's defense was much sharper than Bradford's, and there are excellent players who can do whatever they want. The Bradford team struggled for a while before giving up, calmly accepting the result of defeat.

The victory over Bradford gave Lee the first trophy of his coaching career, and although it was only the English League Cup with little gold content, it was also an affirmation for him, and he felt that he might also have talent on the road to coaching. However, he also has some regrets that the team will not be able to participate in such low-level cup competitions if they are promoted to the Championship next season, which will be a huge loss for his task of accumulating points. You know, he has gained a full 33 points in the EFL Cup this season, and where will he make up for so many points next season?

Not only that, if Sheffield Wednesday is promoted to the Premier League next season, not to mention whether the Premier League, which is full of strong teams, can still have the current efficiency of picking points, the missing 8 league games alone will have a lot less opportunities to get points. In this way, even if you are promoted to the Premier League and win the treble, the points you can get are not as good as the harvest in the English League this season, not to mention that if you want to win the 3 crowns every year, it is simply an impossible task, even if Barcelona is in full swing later, from 08 to 14 years, it has only won the treble twice, even if the league is not guaranteed to win the championship every year, is it possible that you will stay in the CM world in the future? Even then, when the time in the CM world catches up with the time in the real world, I will die, and I won't be able to live for decades, and I'll be tired to death.

Now that Sheffield Wednesday has a league to play, Lee Seung-peak looks at the time he has left, which is just over 132 days.

Li Chengfeng did the calculations. There are still 8 rounds left in the league, and even if they win all of them, they will only add more than 30 points. I entered the CM world on July 13th, and the remaining points by that time will only be about 100 points, which is about the same as the initial points when I entered the CM world, maybe a little less.
