Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Last Straw for Delegation
"Mingshuo, what did you talk about after I left that day?" Shen Chao rested his elbows on his knees and looked at the players who were warming up on the court. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"We didn't talk about anything, we'll be back at the club in a few minutes after you leave."
"You'll be Stoke City manager next season, and as a good buddy, I have to congratulate you." Shen Chao squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth, and this congratulations was full of helplessness.
"Shen Chao, in fact, Dizi has a saying that is also true, the three of us will be separated sooner or later, the reason why the two of us will get the coaching qualification certificate is actually subconsciously planning in advance for this day, and Dizi brought us to this field, and I also hope that one day we will have the opportunity to realize our dreams, right?" Chen Mingshuo and Shen Chao said with emotion and reason, "Shen Chao, even if Dizi doesn't leave and keeps guarding the Sunderland club, are you sure that the two of us will never have the idea of leaving?" ”
Chen Mingshuo's words touched Shen Chao, but it was his last sentence that really talked about Shen Chao's heart; Nan Xiao's dream is to be a part of Liverpool one day, but why don't Shen Chao and Chen Mingshuo have their own dreams? Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are equally attractive to them.
"Actually, I don't have to stop him from going to Liverpool." Shen Chao's tone softened significantly.
"Shen Chao, although the matter of Dizi has been not well considered, we also have to understand him, and he is also under a lot of pressure now." Chen Mingshuo tried his best to be a peacemaker between Shen Chao and Nan Xiao.
"I see." Shen Chao pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded.
Although the strength of the Watford team is significantly weaker than the visiting Sunderland team, they can only breathe a sigh of relief to play against the Sunderland team due to the pressure of relegation; However, their tactics have played into the hands of Nan Xiao, with the stats showing that Sunderland have scored the most goals on the counter-attack in the Premier League this season, as they have the likes of Carlos and Defoe in their squad.
The game was not as tough as the media predicted before the game, and Sunderland, who were playing away, once again used their best defensive counter-attack to break down Watford's goal after withstanding the home team's three-pronged axe!
Carlos didn't make too many adjustments after receiving Dokar's over-the-top pass, and a volley with the outside of his instep sent the ball into the Watford goal.
After Carlos' goal, Nan Xiao also waved his fist very excitedly, and he hugged the assistant coach next to him, Braitwell, and celebrated the beautiful goal with emotion.
After taking a 1-0 lead, Watford was even more confused, because if they lost this game, it would basically be equivalent to losing the hope of relegation, so they now have only one way in front of them, that is, to continue to press out and attack, because at this time, they can only use dead horses as live horse doctors.
In the 15th minute of the game, Carlos poured salt on Watford's wound again just five minutes after the goal!
Juanfran cut off the ball at the feet of Watford striker Deeney and passed forward to Carlos at the first time, Carlos returned to Rodwell after getting the ball, and at the same time ran quickly to the front, after Carlos got up, Watford's left wing-back couldn't catch up with him at all, and when Carlos rushed to the line of the big penalty area, he had already thrown him five or six meters; In the few seconds of Carlos's sprint, several Sunderland players were not idle at all, although Nan Xiao discharged a 343 formation in this game, but if you look closely, you can see that Draxler, who should have appeared in the left winger position, appeared more in the "forward midfield" position, so Sunderland's formation should be 3412 to be exact, he is the "1" in it, and Carlos and Defoe appear in the double striker position!
Therefore, after Rodwell won the ball, he quickly transferred it to his partner Dokal in the midfield, because Nanshaw's tactics emphasized that Dokal was the team's first initiator in attack, unless other players had particularly good passing opportunities, otherwise they had to be organized through Dokal after receiving the ball.
After Dokar got the ball, he saw Carlos's movement, but instead of choosing to pass the through ball as he did five minutes ago, he made a short pass with Draxler, who retreated to midfield, and after attracting the attention of the Watford players, he used Draxler's cover to pass a subtle through ball again, only this time it was not a ball over the top, but a through ball on the ground!
Dokar's through ball on the ground was almost 50 metres long, and although there were as many as three Watford players on the route, no one could stop the pass from reaching Carlos' feet; Dokar's pass is also very reminiscent of the through ball that Rui Costa sent for Shevchenko many years ago.
Carlos laughed easily at the second chance in five minutes, and his low shot even went through the Watford goalkeeper's wicket!
"It's 2-0, and there is no suspense in this game, right?" Shen Chao said with a smile to Chen Mingshuo, who was sitting on the side.
"Don't be careless, especially when you're going to be the manager next season."
"Yo, you can start teaching me now, Coach Chen." Shen Chao teased Chen Mingshuo again.
"Shen Chao, do you want to discuss something with you?" Chen Mingshuo asked Shen Chao while Sunderland was still celebrating the goal.
"What's the matter?" Shen Chao was stunned when he heard this, in his memory, Chen Mingshuo had not yet had the experience of discussing things.
"Will you give me one of your players in the summer transfer window?"
"A player for you? Who? Shen Chao asked with two big eyes.
"That's all there is to Carlos." Chen Mingshuo pointed to the Brazilian teenager who was surrounded by his teammates and said.
"Okay, 100 million pounds." Shen Chao stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Chen Mingshuo.
"Fuck your sister." Chen Mingshuo faced Shen Chao's "ugly" face, and threw him a polite swear word very rarely.
Sunderland led the home team by two goals in 15 minutes, forcing Watford to a dead end. Watford's three axes after the opening game are one, Sunderland's counterattack after scoring the first goal is two, and Sunderland scored another goal, which is three! Watford's morale was completely extinguished by the Sunderland team, and although there were theoretically 75 minutes left to play, the game was over for both teams.
Watford lost their fighting spirit, and Sunderland were no longer in the trap, and the score remained 2-0 until half-time.
Sunderland took another three points, but they still did not lock up the top seven places in advance, because the Everton team behind them also won a game in this round, so there is still only an 8-point gap between the two teams, and with 4 rounds left in the league, Sunderland still has no reason to take it lightly!
