Chapter 120: Challenge the Leader
In addition, what made Lao Liu very happy was that he also won the 100,000 pounds he gave to Manchester United and Chelsea that game, Manchester United led 2-0 for 80 minutes, and let Chelsea score three goals in a row in the last ten minutes, and in injury time, Tevez shot from a small angle, allowing Lao Liu to get an unexpected bonus of 50,000 pounds.
"It's a welcome to the Premier League and I'm announcing that the £50,000 will be a special prize money for everyone as long as we can finish in the top five before the winter break."
Naturally, the players were cheering again......
This year's Championship has been particularly stalemate, the first-ranked Birmingham team has also lost three of the first 14 rounds, but due to the few draws, only one, now 31 points, and Willingham from the 10th round after three wins and two draws, with 24 points ranked sixth, the gap of seven points in the remaining 32 rounds of the league, is not a big problem, but in the 14 games that have been played, six wins, six draws and two losses, but very unbalanced, The home record is seriously better than the away record, with only two wins, five draws and one loss in eight away games, with an average score of 1.4 points per game, which is too far from the home team of four wins, one draw and one loss, with an average of more than two points per game.
'If we don't get enough points away from home, it will have a direct impact on our final league standings, especially against our promoted direct opponents, and it will be even more crucial to get points away from home. Before the away game against Birmingham, Lao Liu said to all the players in the dressing room, "Today we are the vanguard of the away league, according to our results in the previous period, maybe a draw is our more realistic goal, but today I ask everyone, we must strive to win, play this game as a promotion play-off, and have the determination and courage to die and survive, do you have anything to say?" ”
Everyone expressed their determination to win, and Lao Liu saw that the fire was almost over, so he bombarded everyone on the court to warm up before the game.
"You've not scored in two games, or make a bet that you won't be able to score this time," Held, feeling in good form today, tiptoed a few times to Poterson next to him.
"Okay, I bet you don't score or assist." The lanky and tall Patterson looked at Helder with some condescension, and kicked the ball back unceremoniously.
The bet between the two attracted the surrounding players, and everyone didn't warm up, so they got together to discuss how to punish the loser, "Lose and run laps." As soon as Rozenal's proposal came out, everyone laughed at it, but Huckby understood everyone's thoughts, "In this way, the loser will invite everyone to eat and eat Chinese food." This proposal was unanimously supported.
"Chinese food is very expensive, I really have nothing to do, what kind of bet," Halder scratched his scalp and looked remorseful, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
At this time, Siwalker raised an objection, "Then if these two have goals or assists, and they don't lose, won't they be able to eat Chinese food?" Before the words fell, there was a blow on the head, and when he turned around, it turned out to be Lao Liu's smiling face, "If they don't lose, even if I lose, I can't wait for them to score now, I invite you to eat the best Chinese food, and I tell you, if you can be promoted to the Premier League this season, I invite you all to go to China to eat Chinese food for a week." ”
"Okay." "Ulla": "Oh also. All kinds of cheers came and went
In the distance, in front of the coach's bench in Birmingham, the head coach Dutchman Henk looked at Willingsmu's warm-up on the field, his eyes were full of envy, and he turned to the assistant coach next to him and said, "How do you say they mobilize the positive surnames of the players, such morale is too powerful." ”
Jokes aside, once on the field, Helder and Patterson's cooperation is the most tacit.
Even on the road, even against the league leaders who are seven points ahead of them, there is nothing conservative about Willingham.
Birmingham's forward duo is Danish N. Bendtner and England M. Forssell, both of whom are not small, Bendtner has just turned 20 and is a player for Arsenal's future development, Wenger brought him from Copenhagen to London for less than 100,000 pounds five years ago, has been loaning to the Championship side, and is now a member of the Danish national team, and Wenger has ignored the three million pounds offered at the beginning of the season.
As for Forssell, he is even more powerful, he is a product of the Chelsea academy, in the Ranieri era, he also played in the Chelsea Super League, and then due to the continuous addition of big-name strikers, he has been loaned to small clubs, and finally joined Birmingham City, which was still in the Premier League at the time, for 3.5 million pounds, becoming one of Birmingham's consistent and efficient goalscorers in recent years.
The strikers have scored 13 goals in a league this season, the most in the Championship. They were followed by Helder and Patterson, who scored a total of 10 goals.
The first to exert force was Forssell, who was playing at home, and he received a low cross from midfielder Clemence, a deft buckle, trying to get rid of Rozenar who came up from the front, but Rozenar did not eat his feint, and still firmly blocked the angle of his breakthrough.
Forssell saw that D. Dunn, a midfielder on the right side, had already plugged in along the flank, and had a plan in his mind, first pretending to be a strong attack on the ribs, attracting the attention of Willingsham's left-back Elliott, and then suddenly and covertly splitting the ball from Elliott's crotch to the right corner flag.
By this time, Dunn had already slapped the horse and played a high low cross, and Elliott was too late to block the cross.
At the critical time, Cabo appeared in this key position, and at the moment when Dunn was about to cross, Capo slid with his toes and touched the ball out of the bottom line, but fortunately, Dunn received his foot in time and Capo was not injured.
Elliott is old, and the main left-back Matis is prone to injury, Lao Liu is thinking about where to poach a good left wing-back, well, there is a suitable person in that person's team, try it during the winter break.
It seems that Birmingham have fully studied the current weaknesses of Wellingham before the game, attacking their right side fiercely, so that Capo has to devote a lot of energy to help defend.
Helder saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, at this time, after Hleb shook the ball past a player in the opponent's midfield, he passed a through ball in front of Held, the ball was slightly forward, Helder rushed up at high speed, almost and the opponent's central defender, M.Upson, who had played in Liverpool, rushed to the ball at the same time.
Helde touched the ball early, flicked it to the side, dodged Upson's big foot to clear, then a Marseille spin, shook off another defender who rushed over, and sent the ball to the back post with an accurate pass, where Bouterson stretched out his long legs and stabbed the ball into the net a split second before the goalkeeper completely blocked the gap.
There was a sharp whistle, and just as Paterson was about to stretch out his hand to celebrate, he saw the referee play, but it was not a goal gesture.
