The next game is ten days away, with Sheffield Wednesday taking on third-placed Blackpool, a team that has been excellent both offensively and defensively. It's going to be a tough game, but Lee is confident that his team is gaining momentum and is unstoppable, even against a Championship side.

However, reality gave Lee Chengfeng a hard blow, and after 90 minutes of play, Sheffield Wednesday lost 1-3 away to Blackpool. In the first half, teenager Cherch opened the scoring for Sheffield Wednesday, and Sheffield Wednesday made a good start, but after the Blackpool team stepped up the attack, the Sheffield Wednesday defence, which was absent from the two main players, was unable to resist the attack of the Blackpool team, and collapsed under huge pressure, conceding three goals in just over ten minutes, and was completely blinded.

Losing this game, Li Chengfeng not only did not earn points, but was deducted 2 points, which made him feel distressed. However, it is not without good news, he has always wanted to deal with the striker Kutche, and finally a team wants it, and the attacking weak League One side Brentford has offered 50,000 pounds to take him, hoping that he can improve the team's weak attack. However, Lee is not optimistic that Kuchi can do this, and although his stats of eight goals in 16 games are impressive, it is the result of Sheffield Wednesday's strong midfield creating countless chances for him. Even so, his goals have a lot of water, and the opponents are all teams from 15th in the league and have not scored a goal against the strong teams, so I hope he can have good luck in a different environment.

In addition, Volvo in the Championship took away the team's substitute goalkeeper Ogden for £12,000. But it's not really important, it's how the next game is played. Considering the spicy performance of the substitute defender on the field, Lee Seung-peak learned from the pain and decided to strengthen the defense first. Since Dane Smith is lacking in quality, let's make up for it with the number and tactics involved in the defense.

In the next game, Li Chengfeng deliberately arranged for the double back to protect the back line, and when one of the back waist assists forward, the other back must stand in position to protect the penalty area. There are also two full-backs, and they can't go forward at the same time, so that at least one person stays at the back, to ensure the integrity of the defensive line, in a word, don't play too unrestrained, and try to leave the goal to the front players to solve. At the same time, fight for set-pieces in the right position, and since you have a good free kick player in your team, you must make full use of it.

In the next Sheffield Wednesday home game against Rushden, Lee's arrangement worked. With the help of the double back, the team's defensive line was very solid and did not concede any more goals, but the attack power also dropped significantly, lacking the support of the midfield, and the opportunities created by the frontcourt players were greatly reduced, and finally relied on Guarin's long-range shot to defeat the opponent.

It's better to win than not to win, Li Chengfeng comforted himself and prepared for the next game. Next up is Brighton, who are now in sixth place and are chasing the team behind them, who see Sheffield Wednesday's woes and hope to cement their league position with a win.

Brighton's attack is ferocious, but Sheffield Wednesday's defense is not so easy to break, although the two defenders are very slow, but Brighton's forward speed is not much faster, plus the protection of the back, they did not get a good chance, but were frequently broken by Sheffield Wednesday to counterattack.

At the end of the game, the final score was 3-1 and Sheffield Wednesday emerged victorious, with Brighton only scoring a consolation goal from a set-piece late in the game.

The main two still won two consecutive victories in the absence of the main team, which made Li Chengfeng breathe a sigh of relief, and the crash in his worries did not happen. However, the team doctor brought bad news to Lee Seungfeng, due to the intensive schedule, Guarin and Ederson are extremely tired and need to rest, otherwise they will be prone to injuries, like Antonini's muscle strain.

Ederson is okay, Braten, Plodrock and others can play in the midfield position, but what about Guarin, his role is irreplaceable.

Lee Seung-phong looked at the next fixtures, which were the fourth round of the League Cup away to Championship side Stoke City, the second round of the FA Cup at home to League One side Tremir, and the EFL Cup 1/8 match at home to League One side Blackport. Because Lee Seungfeng wants to get as many points as possible in every game, Sheffield Wednesday only have so many games to participate in now, which makes the players tired and increases the risk of injury.

Li Chengfeng thought about it for a while, and decided to give up the League Cup against the Championship team, one is the away reason, although the distance between the two places is not too far, but the road is also a lot of consumption, and now the remaining teams in the League Cup, except for Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City, the rest are Premier League teams, even if they win, the opponents in the next round are strong Premier League teams, and the possibility of going further is very low, but it may be a big defeat, in this case, it is better to give up in advance and lose to the League One team, Fewer points may be deducted. The other two games are at home and you can consider winning as much as possible, especially in the EFL Cup.

However, contrary to Li Chengfeng's expectations, the Sheffield Wednesday team, which lacked four main players, eliminated Stoke City away. The two sides were tied 1-1 in the 90 minutes, and in extra time, Cerci received a pass from Plaudlock, and scrambled to shoot into the net from inside the small penalty area.

This can be regarded as a surprise, although the opponent did not send all the main forces because of the league, but in any case, 4 points are in hand. But Li Chengfeng found that his points only increased by 1, what is going on?

"Points are only calculated based on the results of matches within 90 minutes." The system replied coldly.

And this kind of statement? Li Chengfeng wants to curse, he doesn't know how many goals he will lose in the next round against the Premier League team, if he loses too much, it is really better to lose this time.

Seeing that there are more than 89 days left, Lee Seung-bong is ready for the next match with a sense of chagrin. Lee Seung-peak decided to win the next two cup games, and the next league game can be abandoned, and his team can still be 2 points ahead of the second place in the league with one less game.

Tranmere are now seventh in the league, level on points with sixth-placed Plymouth, and are fighting for a place in the promotion play-offs, so they were distracted by the cup tie and symbolically resisted a few times before allowing Sheffield Wednesday to indulge in their bodies. Sheffield Wednesday won the game comfortably 3-1.

Blackport is more chaste, but it is just a matter of grabbing the belt of their trousers, and the third-ranked ones are still thinking about the possibility of direct promotion, how can they work hard for this mosquito-like cup competition, and they are not Li Chengfeng. The final score was 1:0, but the actual scene was much worse than the score on the field.

Lee Seung-bong won two cup games as he wished, but the fly in the ointment was that the team's main full-back Derek Gary was sent off for a serious foul against Blackport, and he also received a two-game penalty, which made the backline even more stretched. Lee had no choice but to bring in Italian teenager Cesaré on loan from Chelsea, who could play on the left and in the middle of the backline. In the real world, he has been playing in the Italian second division since leaving Chelsea, and although it is not Lee's first choice, it is enough to cope with the League One.

But against Wycombe, Lee had to use Bess Vedrick, who had not yet played, to take on the left wing-back position. It turned out to be a big mistake, as the opposition continued to open gaps from him, causing the centre-backs to have to fill in for him, only to have holes in other places that could not be remedied. The final result was 0:2, and Sheffield Wednesday lost the game without a temper. Had it not been for second-placed Plymouth who also lost the game, Sheffield Wednesday would have relinquished the top spot in the league after this round of league games.

The next game is the fifth round of the League Cup, away to the Premier League team Charlton (Charlton), this game Li Chengfeng also simply gave up, Ederson and Guarin who need to rest are all on the wall, Antonini, who has been absent for two months in the backline, finally returned, and Li Chengfeng also sent him on the field.

In this game, Li Chengfeng arranged to defend with all his might, resolutely counterattacked, and strived to win with less loss. The result was satisfactory, against the Premier League side, although they did not send their own main line-up, but Sheffield Wednesday, who were also absent from several main players, did not fall behind in the slightest, and the final result was 2-3, if they are lucky, they may be able to go further.

Li Chengfeng is not disappointed to lose this game, the team has been able to get to this point, and has earned a lot of points for him, and it is more important to play the rest of the game.

Ederson and Guarin are still in poor shape, and Cherch has joined the ranks. Although he didn't participate in many competitions, he was still an underdeveloped child, and it was really difficult to participate in high-density competitions recently. However, their next game is against third-placed Bristol City, who are only four points behind Sheffield Wednesday and two behind second-placed Plymouth, so it will be a game they can't afford to lose.

After thinking about it, Li Chengfeng decided to let Guarin play, the team lacked a back, and Guarin's tactical role is very important and irreplaceable. As for Ederson and Cherch, Lee Seung-peak decided to rest them and sent Evans to play left midfield, let Braten play Ederson's forward position, Cerci's position was to let Lynch top up, Derrick's suspension expired, he could play Lynch's original right-back position, and left-back Lee Seung-peak sent Cesarey, who had just been loaned from Chelsea. Although the strength of this lineup has weakened in the frontcourt, the defense is not weaker than during the 17-game winning streak.
