Chapter 14: Next City!
Today is the team's home game against Millwall, Michu rushed directly to the Elland Road Stadium, because the team played very well before, even if the team's style of play on the field is not so pleasing to the eye, but the team's results in the away three points still make the team's supporters more willing to show support for the team everywhere!
Watch your fans come to the stadium with joy! Michu is also very happy!
But when he came to the team's locker room, he found Poyet frowning and discussing something with the team doctor, Michu stepped forward, and Poyet turned around,
"Boss, Beckford has a cold, and the team doctor said that he has a fever now, although it has no impact on the next games, but it is estimated that he will not be able to play today." After that, Poyet looked at Beckford, who was sitting in the distance, and Michu was dumbfounded! The way I practiced before was to rely on Beckford's involvement and running, how good is this, in the final analysis, I still blame myself for not having enough alternative tactics!
Michu looked at the player in front of him and thought nervously.
"Change the starters, today's lineup can't play defensive counterattacks anymore! We have practiced the tactics of positional warfare, right? Tell them that the team is going to hold down the opponent at the beginning now, and we have to catch the opponent's foothold unstable and catch them off guard! In this game, we have to take the initiative! β
Michu said while thinking, "The opponent is playing away today, and with the recent poor record, he must want to keep the draw and get a point, let Kandor start, tell Parker and Andy, I ask these two wingbacks to press boldly, Delph and Thompson strengthen the 45-degree cross, let the midfielders take turns to attack!" Tell the two people in the midfield to pay attention to defense, I don't want to steal chickens and lose rice! Tell them to take care of their defenses! After the players in the front court lose the ball, try to fight back as soon as possible, and you can prepare for the rest of the specific content! β
After saying a long paragraph, Michu gasped as he walked towards Candor,
"How's it going, man, how are you feeling today?"
Seeing that Candor was about to stand up, Michu held him down, "Wait for you to start in place of Beckford, I know that you may not be very comfortable with the tactics that the team has practiced recently, but I want you to know that I have no intention of abandoning you, do what I say, you will have a chance to compete for a starting position, today is your chance, are you ready?" β
Candor nodded, "Relax, Poyet will assign you specific tasks." β
After saying that, Michu patted him on the shoulder. This injury came too suddenly! Sure enough, people are not as good as heaven! In the end, I am still not fully prepared!
The pre-match tactical deployment was still prepared by Poyet.
Seeing the players looking puzzled about the temporary change of tactics before the game, Michu took a step forward and said, "What are we playing for?" For the sake of winning, for the sake of winning. Whatever the opponent wants us to do, we have to do the opposite, never do what the opponent wants you to do! Millwall must have thought we'd fight back! All we have to do is crush them with a storm of attacks! Be yourselves! Be back to that feared Praetorian Guard! Soldiers! letβsgoοΌ β
The crowd is excited! Even Beckford, who had a fever, seems to have some strength!
Shortly after the game, Millwall was ill-prepared and the tactics requested before the game began to work frequently, with the opposing centre-backs and goalkeepers becoming the busiest people on the pitch! Watch the home team's crazy attack! The cheers at Elland Road Stadium rose higher and higher!
The opponent's head coach couldn't stand, and Michu was also standing on the sidelines, looking at the anxious situation on the field while constantly looking at the scoreboard! Your team can't afford to go without points! Just when Michu was anxiously waiting for a blow to rewrite the score! The on-site narrator shouted loudly,
Huntington broke the ball, he looked up for his team-mate, he saw Candor asking for the ball, Candor jumped high to unload his own centre-back's long ball! Delph was on his left, Kandal leaned on the opposing central defender Wilkinson, the ball was passed, Delph was getting closer and closer to the goal, Martin was struggling to chase back, the goalkeeper attacked, Delph did not shoot, passed to Thomson at high speed at the far end, empty goal! β
The stadium was full of cheers! Michu opens his arms!
In the next game, both sides created some chances, but the final score stayed at 1-0, and the score did not reflect the process of the game! But the cheering fans were more than happy to accept the result!
Two wins in a row! Not only the fans, but also the whole team, including the media, praised Michu's performance!
"Savior!" The Leeds United Post has used an eye-catching headline to show its affirmation of Michu! Michu's self-confidence has reached a new level! Although the team's injuries have made Michu a little scrambling, Michu still enjoys the cheers of the fans now! The team is in the same state as it was when they took over! The players have completely regarded him as the savior of the team!
Looking at the team jumping to 8th place in the table, just 5 points away from 6th in the table, you must know that the team can only enter the Championship if they finish in the top 6 at the end of the season.
This is because according to the rules of the competition, the top two teams of the League One team at the end of the season qualify directly, and the remaining promotion place is generated between the 3-6 teams!
According to the current momentum of the team, their team is very likely to finish in the top 6! Michu believes that the team's goal is to keep 6 and fight for 2! Besides, I still have strong reinforcements yet!
