Chapter 39: Sheffield Wednesday
The schedule is quite tight, Chen Yier and others do not have much rest, and fortunately, the next game will be at Sunderland's home stadium. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This time the opponent is Sheffield Wednesday, which is much stronger than the opponent in the previous game.
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club was founded in 1867 as a cricket club, so named because only Wednesday cricketers have time to play football.
Sheffield Wednesday Football Club refused to become one of the founding clubs of the All-England Professional League for political reasons, and one of its founders, Charles Stokes, founded Sheffield United Football Club in 1889.
Sheffield Wednesday FC's first league game was against Notts County on 3 September 1892, which ended in a 1-0 victory. Since then, the club has become the largest and most supportive club in the UK. The home stadium was Hillsborough Stadium, with a maximum crowd of 72,841.
Nicknamed "The Owls", the team previously shared the nickname "Shovel" with city rivals Sheffield United, as Sheffield is famous for its steel industry. They reached the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup in 1985 and their results have plummeted ever since as the club's board of directors was reluctant to spend a fortune on new players.
In February 1989, the famous coach Ron Atkinson took charge of the team, and the president of the club was re-elected. It all started anew, they were aiming for relegation, which started well and finished 13th on Christmas. However, unexpectedly, the team lacked stamina and was finally relegated due to the lack of goals.
The rebuilding began, Atkinson bought better players, designed a simple and effective tactical play for the team, and eventually finished third in the second division and automatically promoted to the first division, and won the League Cup in the same season, beating the famous Manchester United, and rumours began to spread that Atkinson was resigning to become the manager of Aston Villa.
That's when he came out to refute the rumors, saying that he was doing a good job at Sheffield Wednesday and doing the best job in the world. Unexpectedly, within a week, he actually went to Aston Villa, which caused a lot of anger among the fans. Many thought Atkinson was playing tricks on purpose, and Sheffield Wednesday's first league game of the season was at home to Aston Villa, when fans mocked Atkinson as "Judas".
Special case Buddha. Francis took over the reins, he continued Atkinsond's coaching philosophy, and the club went all out to provide financial support, and the 1993 and 1993 seasons were Sheffield Wednesday's most successful in recent years, with a third-place finish in the league and a chance to play in the UEFA Cup, and everyone thought the team would be even better. They were eliminated in the second round by the German Kaiserslautern team.
However, the team quickly bounced back from defeat and reached both the FA Cup and League Cup finals, although both lost to the same rivals, Arsenal. The good news is that they beat arch-rivals Sheffield United in the FA Cup semi-finals. In 1993 and 1994 they finished seventh in the league and the team began to split, with many veterans moving back to other places and new arrivals not buying Francis's account. The 1994 and 1995 seasons did not start well with the team, but fortunately they later bought Guy. Wittingham, however, saw the team finish in the middle of the table, but that didn't keep Francis in the job.
However, the past glory did not bring any substantial benefits to the team, Roy Keane strengthened the team's attacking power in this game, Chen Yier will appear more in the penalty area, Roy Keane suddenly found that after a big turn, Chen Yier is still better as an attacker, as for the passing organization, the double back can be competent.
In the twelfth minute of the game, Chen Yier and Connolly cooperated, and after a series of backwards, he suddenly tore through the Sheffield Wednesday defense, Jonathan Evans once again seized the opportunity, he volleyed the ball into the net!
1:0!
Some of Sunderland's fans are still looking for seats, and Sheffield Wednesday's fans are confused, what is the situation, they scored inexplicably, doesn't it mean that Sunderland's attack is not sharp! Isn't this girl sharp?
Then, in the seventeenth minute of the game, Sunderland made a comeback, and Sunderland's captain Whitehead started a job he wouldn't have done before, and Whitehead made a diagonal pass to assist Connolly's leap to success!
2:0
Seeing that his team scored two goals in the first half, Sunderland's fans went crazy, Uncle John sang and danced happily, and Eva was a little embarrassed, this one won, Sunderland won six in a row, and her agreement reached four consecutive wins.
Just when Eva was thinking like this, Chen Yier began to wave, and with a two-goal lead, it's okay to wave it yourself!
Chen Yier began to frequently raise his hand in the opponent's penalty area, and with the cooperation of Connolly, he directly shot a long shot outside the penalty area (hard practice for a long time, mentioned above), and directly burst the opponent's goal!
3:0!
With this scoreline, the team entered the halftime break, and in the middle of the game, Roy Keane signaled the players to pay attention to safety, maybe the opposing team was in a hurry, and the ball began to be right!
In the second half, Sunderland's attack reined in and did not do anything too irritating Sheffield Wednesday.
And Chen Yier was pulled from the position of the forward midfield to the midfield, and began to perform the important task of attacking and defending the organization.
In such a situation, the team still had a couple of good chances, but Sheffield Wednesday were very tough, and neither Connolly nor Jonathan Evans had much desire to score in such circumstances.
In the following game, Roy Keane replaced Connolly with Murphy and began to try a new style of play, which was the Toney-centric style of play at Fiorentina in Serie A.
But it's a pity that Murphy is not Toney, and the English league is not the same as the bad situation of Serie A, and in the end Roy Keane had to give up on this idea.
In the end, Sunderland won 3-0 at home to Sheffield Wednesday, and the idle media in England were boiling, and Roy Keane took charge of Sunderland, turning the decay into magic, from four defeats in a row to six in a row.
Maybe now Ferguson is going to regret it, what a perfect manager Roy Keane is! He could have been at the helm of Manchester United.
And so on.
