Chapter 17: Preparations for the Spring Festival (2)

The home game against Bristol Rovers does look a lot of luck.

The opponent has five players on loan from the Championship or even the Premier League, and the forty-year-old goalkeeper Wright has also been selected for the Scottish national team, has played in the European Championship 14 years ago, and has performed very well this season, has been played in 34 rounds of League Two games, 18 rounds of clean sheets, conceded only 28 goals, ranked second among all teams in League Two, and only because the goals are not as many as the top two, only one is in the third position, but more ahead of the fourth place, There is a lot of hope of a direct qualification.

After the discussion of the entire coaching staff, there are nothing more than two strategies, either, try to defend, maybe be able to keep the draw, but the scene will be ugly, and the possibility of losing is still very large, or play a big attack, strive for goals, but it is likely to be beaten into a sieve, after discussion, everyone made it clear that you can lose, but the scene can not be too ugly, of course, you can't concede too many goals, and then in the away game on the Chinese New Year's Eve, you must try to win the opponent, in this case, It is still possible to score another 12 points in the remaining 10 rounds.

Two hours before the game, Tommy finally got a coaching qualification certificate for Liu, so that Lao Liu could finally enter the coach's seat outside the stadium and no longer have to sit in the stands and make a strong call.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, as expected, it was difficult for Willingsim to attack the opponent's 30-meter area, whether it was a breakthrough on both sides, or the penetration of the midfield, or a long pass, it was easily blocked by the opponent from the country, and it felt that the opponent's strength was similar to Walsall, but because he had fully studied Willingsmu's style of play, he just completely controlled the rhythm of the game, which made Lao Liu feel a little unable to speak.

But what Bristol Rovers didn't expect was that they played like this for 20 minutes, and the chances kept going, but they never scored, and today's Wellingsmu's players did a good job defending, although there is still a certain gap in ability compared to Rangers, but it seems that it is not easy to score goals for a while.

In the lineup of this game, Lao Liu completely continued the players from the previous game, but in fact, he was not satisfied with several positions, and he had no one else available, so he could only make do with it first.

Lasted until the 43rd minute, that is to say, when the first half was about to end, finally conceded a goal, and finally, because this seemed inevitable from the field, striker Pakelson, who was on loan from Sunderland in the Championship, fired a diagonal shot from outside the penalty area on the right side, hit Toby's calf, and changed direction into the door guarded by Matisse.

At halftime, Lao Liu entered the lounge and just joked with the players relaxedly, which made everyone a little puzzled, and Jean asked confusedly, "We are behind now, boss, why aren't you in a hurry at all, I thought you were going to give us a lecture." ”

"Two questions, first, how do you think everyone played today?"

"I think it's okay, we are really not as good as others, everyone is very hard, and there are no big mistakes."

"Okay, then, since you can't play better, is it useful for me to train you?"

"It doesn't seem to be of any use."

"That's not the end of it."

"But, even if that's the case, it's not as happy as you, is it?"

"As long as you have a clear conscience, even if you lose, you will be happy to lose, and I will tell you that this is called enjoying the feeling of losing."

Immediately, there was a buzzing sound in the entire lounge, almost every player was talking, only Lao Liu smiled and hugged his arms and watched, and he didn't say a word again during the entire halftime.

At the start of the second half, it was the same situation, but the Rangers players quickly felt a little different, and every Willingham player became more confident, as the famous Brazilian star Socrates said, "Every time I play, it's like I'm playing in my back garden." "Everyone dared to make moves, and if they made mistakes, they were protected by teammates, and for a while, the two teams were evenly matched.

But the gap in quality is not so easy to make up, in the 65th minute, the Rangers took advantage of the front free kick to head another goal, after picking up the ball from the goal, the eyes of the Willingsmu players were not disappointed, no complaints, no impatience, just encourage each other, and then start again.

The fans also gave the greatest support to the players, the two organized fan phalanxes were cheering with the conductors, and Lao Liu communicated with the fan representatives before the game, everyone understood that the loss of this game was very big, and they came to see it today

Willingham's improvement and attitude towards the game, which they are very happy with so far.

Uncle Wang in the stands kept praising the team's current maturity to Forence, saying that Forrens was happy, and then Uncle Wang seemed to inadvertently ask Forence if he had the idea of selling some shares, Forrens moved in his heart, and pushed back to think about it, but he also began to make a small calculation.

The final result of the game was 3-0, Bristol Rovers won, but after the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the players on the field and the players on the bench lined up and bowed to the fan phalanx to thank them for their support, and the fans also applauded their efforts, causing a Rangers player who was hugging his teammates to celebrate the victory and asked suspiciously, "We won." ”

The day after the competition, Murphy went to Uncle Wang's office and studied with Ma Dexing for most of the day before finalizing all the arrangements for the Spring Festival event.

However, Lao Liu asked the club staff to wait for the team to leave for the away game before they can start decorating the club's external appearance, so as not to distract the players' hearts, and all the young players who stay in the club must participate in this work, so that they can feel the warmth and joy of the family in the middle.

Swindon, who has the title of the devil's home field, is the last obstacle for Lao Liu to be able to have a good year, "Say whatever you want to move him away." Lao Liu said to himself.

On the day of departure, that is, on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lao Liu received a call from Lao Tang, who told Lao Liu an interesting news on the phone: Lao Tang was getting married, and he was preparing to go out for a honeymoon after the Spring Festival, and the destination was London.

"You kid finally has someone to take care of," Liu Luyi clapped his hands on the phone, "Otherwise, one day your kid will come nonsense, come on, let you see your buddy's current career." ”
