PS: There will be a significant reduction in the amount that has nothing to do with the plot and the main story. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Yier's actions were very fast, and early the next morning, the team had to gather to challenge away from home, and Roy Keane didn't give him too much vacation, so he could only refuse the beautiful woman's kind invitation (although he was not interested in it.) )
Today is the day of the team's match against Ipswich Town, and the team moved their family to Portman Road, Ipswich's home stadium.
Ipswich Town Football Club, a professional football club based in Ipswich, Suffolk in the east of England, was founded in 1878 and currently plays in the English Championship at Portman Road. Nicknamed the "TractorBoys", partly because of his agricultural background in Ipswich, and partly dubbed as "redneck" by fans of other teams.
Ipswich had a glorious period in the early 80s, winning two runners-up finishes in the then English top flight, League One, and the UEFA FA Cup in 1981. Ipswich was also one of the founding members of the Premier League when it was founded in 1992.
Ipswich Town fell to League One in 1995 and qualified for the promotion play-offs for four consecutive editions from 1997 to 2000, winning the promotion play-offs in 2000 after failing in the first three editions, returning to the Premier League in the 2000/2001 season, finishing fifth in the Premier League that season and qualifying for the European Championship the following season.
Unfortunately, Ipswich had a sluggish 2001/2002 season and were relegated to League One after failing to defend the legation. Ipswich have been playing in the Championship in the second division ever since.
It's not a strong team, so even away from home, the team looks quite relaxed and Sunderland will pay the price for their slackness.
The scene on the pitch was something Roy Keane never expected, and as soon as the game began, the situation was greatly unexpected by him.
Ipswich was very tenacious, whether it was the player's handling of the through ball, the central midfield's playmaking and the forward's precise interspersed movements, it was not possible to break Ipswich's defense for a while.
Seeing the poor offense, Roy Keane was dissatisfied, and recently under the wind in the ears of the media, Roy Keane has quite enough confidence in himself.
Until the end of the first half, Roy Keane basically complained about every player, but there was one player that Roy Keane was more satisfied with, and that was Chen Yier.
Chen Yier's cooperation with the players in this game is quite skillful and fluent, and some small contradictions between him and the players in the past are gone, such as looking down on Alex's height and not passing the ball to Alex.
Chen Yier has also made great progress in defense, and has not given Ipswich the slightest chance. Basically, every time Ipswich crosses the middle line, Chen Yier will also actively defend back, and with the help of Connolly, who is bent on having a good relationship with Chen Yier, the team basically achieves full attack and defense.
But even so, the team still didn't score a goal, which made Roy Keane a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't blame Chen Yier, Chen Yier did a pretty good job in attack and defense, but the team lacked a little luck?
At halftime, Roy Keane deliberately pulled Chen Yier out and the two discussed it privately.
Roy Keane's idea was to see how Chen Yier felt when he passed, whether his teammates were not running well, because there were a few times when Chen Yier paused, and at that time Roy Keane felt that Chen Yier wanted to pass the ball.
In the second half, Roy Keane adjusted the team's lineup slightly, Chen Yier was more forward, becoming the same as before, like a shadow striker, and the two wingers were more aggressive.
In the first half, Chen Yier was more of a long pass, and the team's 4213 formation was obviously playing defensive counterattacks, but Roy Keane hoped to play the effect of offensive football.
However, Chen Yier's long pass, there are still two hits, and in the first half, he also made some single-knife balls and the like.
In the second half, Chen Yier made more short passes, but the team's defense had a little problem, and the reduction of personnel made Ipswich's attack more threatening.
In desperation, Chen Yier did not continue to stick to the front, and began to frequently support his teammates at the back to create a more solid defense, and in the face of such a situation, Roy Keane had nothing to say.
The Sunderland fans began to sigh, but Eva was so happy that he remembered the bet!
Perhaps, things are so magical, when you give up on him, he suddenly surprises you.
This was when the game entered the 70th minute, after Chen Yier returned to the defense to get the ball in the backfield, he sent the ball out directly before the opponent's three players approached him.
This kick is relatively powerful, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a clearance ball, in fact, Chen Yier really thinks so.
However, the clearance flew over the halfway line, past the midfielders on both sides, and landed directly in the space between Ipswich's defenders and midfielders, where Connolly was loaming.
Connolly is a little less interesting than Murphy in terms of physique, but this ability to find fighters is still very good.
Seeing the ball fall beside him, Connolly first froze it, then hurriedly controlled the ball and quickly inserted it into the Ipswich penalty area.
Before Ipswich's defenders could react, Connolly suddenly shot coldly, and the ball was in everyone's eyes, piercing the door of Ipswich!
0:1
The major media seated in the media table were a little surprised, five consecutive wins? Could it be that Sunderland are going to win five in a row? Five wins in a row after four consecutive defeats, Roy Keane brought the team back to life after taking over!
In this way, in a dull league, in the end, Chen Yier actively defended, and then I don't know whether it was a long pass or a clear ball, Connolly helped the team win five consecutive victories with a goal.
Although the team won the league, this victory was a wake-up call for Roy Keane not to be complacent.
The team's offensive ability is seriously insufficient!
There are still problems on the defensive end, the season is still long, and Roy Keane still has work to do.
